Valley Emperor

Being the emperor for a long time often makes Li Xuan have the illusion that he is the son of destiny, and that God sent him to this broken era to save the world.

This era is so shabby, maybe only those literati can talk about how beautiful it is and how beautiful the brothel women are, but it has been so many years since he came to this era, but Li Xuan can deeply feel the absolute beauty of this era. Most ordinary people, how hard their childhood was.

In later generations, the middle and lower classes may feel that housing prices are high and prices are high, and it is an extravagant hope to buy a Panamera. However, even if it is difficult, one can always eat enough to eat. In modern society, if you want to starve to death, Not easy.

But in this era, being able to eat enough is a common demand of the entire society, even a luxury!

There is nothing more important than being able to eat enough. However, even if it is such an important matter, in China’s long thousands of years of history, in fact, most of the time, more accurately speaking, in the eighth century of the twentieth century. It wasn't possible until the 10's.

Why later generations always think Yuan Gong is a great man, and give him countless praises from top to bottom, because his hybrid rice has greatly solved the problem of eating in China for thousands of years.

Such a person deserves the word great!

And now, sometimes Li Xuan also feels that he is walking on the road of a great man!

He came to this era, brought changes, and made this era better and better!

Maybe his way of solving the problem is a bit radical, but in essence it will not change.

In later generations, there will be hybrid rice and chemical fertilizers, so Li Xuan will engage in immigration, engage in overseas trade, and engage in conquering the world!

Because of the backwardness of technology, grain output cannot be improved. What should Li Xuan do at this time to improve his technology? That is the future, now, he wants to expand the living space!

To solve the problem of eating, in fact, it is very simple to say, either increase the food production, or have more land, the former cannot be done, the latter Li Xuan thinks it can be done.

When the land of China cannot support the people of China, more land should be seized with guns.

Therefore, Datang officials put forward such a slogan as a propaganda slogan, and even used it as the propaganda tone of the entire empire for many years.

"The land of the world is not the king's land, and the coast of leading the land is not the king's ministers."

This sentence is not only used to highlight the empire and the legitimacy and sanctity of Li Xuan's rule, but also serves as the theoretical basis for the expansion of the empire!

After the Datang Empire ended the Southwest Campaign and the Liaodong Campaign, it quickly embarked on the road of expansion!

In the northeast, they took the Korean Peninsula, divided the entire Korean Peninsula into four prefectures, and placed them under the jurisdiction of Liaodong Province. At the same time, they continued to advance in the northeast direction, and military strikes and immigration went hand in hand.

From the eighth year of Xuanping to the tenth year of Xuanping, in just two years, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Empire organized hundreds of thousands of landless peasants from inland provinces to immigrate to Liaodong Province for reclamation and developed a large amount of land.

Overseas, the empire took overseas trade as the guide and actively carried out overseas immigration activities. Luzon has become the largest number of overseas immigrants in recent years, with more than 10,000 people immigrating to Luzon one after another.

Because of the gradual increase in population and the increasing importance, at the beginning of the tenth year of Xuanping, it was decided at the meeting of the imperial cabinet to upgrade Luzon State to Luzon House.

One south and one north, this is the main direction of the empire's immigration expansion policy in the past two years!

And as Li Xuan who promoted all this development, sometimes he couldn't help being proud of himself!

In China's thousands of years of history, the only person who can do this is himself!

What does this show? It shows that the emperor has done a good job, and he is indeed the son of heaven!

Of course, Li Xuan, as an insider, didn't know that, in fact, his thoughts were no different from the late emperor Li Er.

Back then, Lear must have also felt that he was the chosen son, and then resolutely ascended the throne and became emperor.

But no matter what, Li Xuan is pushing the Tang Empire forward step by step according to his own ideas, pushing the ancient nation of Huaxia forward, not just immersed in the glory of the past and unable to extricate himself.

For thousands of years in the past, China, which has dominated East Asia, is very powerful, but it is still far from the real world domination, and now Li Xuan is going to lead China to build a real global empire!

For example, the Great Tang Dynasty in the former Tang Dynasty, let later generations take a deep breath when they mention his Great Tang Empire!

Not worship, but fear!

A great empire must be feared!

When there is fear, there will be respect and honor!

This is like several empires where the sun never sets in later generations. They all possess a power that makes outsiders extremely fearful, and the most typical representative of this power is a global navy.

When Spain dominated the world, it relied on its armada!

When Britain dominated the world, it relied on its Royal Navy!

When the United States dominated the world, it relied on its aircraft carrier fleet!

And each of the above-mentioned fleets is basically a global navy, capable of controlling every sea area of ​​the world, and thus supporting its global strategy!

If the Tang Empire wants to go out and dominate the world, it must have a navy that has always been global.

Therefore, in the past two years, the Datang Empire has continued to reduce the proportion of total military expenditures, but the proportion of naval military expenditures has increased year by year. This situation can be said to be extremely abnormal.

At present, the fiscal budget revenue of the Datang Empire, that is, Xuanping's ten years, has exceeded 90 million taels, but the total military expenditure is still maintained at about 30 million taels, accounting for 30% of the fiscal expenditure.

If this expenditure ratio is in later generations, even around the 20th century, it would be very terrifying, but for this era, it is nothing. You must know that a few years ago, the military expenditure ratio of the Tang Dynasty was It accounts for more than 50% of fiscal revenue. If it was a few years earlier, it was basically 70% to 80%.

Today's 30% ratio has already dropped again and again, and according to this year's wind direction, next year's military expenditure ratio will even further drop to around 28%.

However, the proportion of expenditure has decreased, but with the increase of fiscal revenue, the total military expenditure is still increasing year by year.

But this increase in military spending is not increasing to the army, but to the navy!

In Xuanping's ten-year budget, the total military expenditure was 30 million taels of silver, and the army accounted for 80 percent, taking away 24 million taels of silver, a figure that was even higher than Xuanping's nine-year budget. A little less, the military expenditure of the army in Xuanping nine years still has 25 million taels of silver.

This year's navy military expenditure accounts for 20% of the total military expenditure, that is, six million taels of silver. This figure has been directly doubled compared to the seventh year of Xuanping.

It can be seen how fast the empire's investment in the navy has increased.

The Navy's military spending has increased, and they have also accelerated their shipbuilding efforts. In addition to implementing the fleet expansion plan implemented by Xuanping in the seven years, they have begun to brew a new round of fleet expansion plans this year.

Seeing the expansion of the navy side after round, the army side also has some opinions, and this kind of opinion is not small, and it has come to Li Xuan many times.

In the words of the army generals, the army is suffering now!

Back then, under the leadership of the Son of Heaven, it was hard to lay down this huge foundation, but now it was picked by the **** of the Navy. Every year, the military expenditure is so tight, and the army has been preparing for the whole army. The military reorganization plan cannot be implemented, and it can only be patched up in small ways.

The army takes 24 million taels of silver, which seems to be a lot, but it is actually not enough, because the army needs to maintain a huge army!

You must know that the army not only has field troops of hundreds of thousands of people, but also a large number of reserve divisions. The number of reserve divisions is much larger than that of field troops.

Since the end of the Korean Peninsula campaign, there has been no large-scale war in the imperial army in the past two years. The Privy Council also took the opportunity to reorganize the army's system, including the improvement of the establishment, the field division, the reserve division and the militia. The system between them is perfect, and more importantly, a large number of grenades are equipped.

After two years of sorting and rectification, there are currently 16 infantry divisions in the army, and each of these 16 infantry divisions is a strategic strike force of the Tang Empire.

It is the core force that maintains the empire's external expansion, resists foreign enemies, suppresses internal strife, and maintains the inviolable power of the Holy Son of Heaven!

According to the latest establishment table of the Privy Council, these sixteen infantry divisions~www.wuxiaspot.com~ have some special establishments, such as the Fourth Infantry Division, which is specially deployed in the southwest. Most infantry divisions are not the same. The divisions are relatively unified, and they are the six regiments and four battalions organized by the Imperial Privy Council.

Six regiments means that each infantry division has three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, one cavalry regiment, and one baggage regiment.

Four battalions means that each infantry division has an engineering battalion, an assault battalion, a guard battalion, and a heavy artillery battalion in addition to the above-mentioned regiments.

The establishment of the six regiments and four battalions is also the biggest reform of the field troops carried out by the Imperial Army in the past two years. The core of the reform is actually not the artillery, cavalry, and baggage units, because these changes are not big, the biggest is the reform of the infantry battalion. .

In the early years, each infantry regiment of the Army had five infantry battalions under its jurisdiction, and each infantry battalion was small in size.

In actual battles, especially after all of them are equipped with flintlock guns, this kind of organization is no longer suitable, because the five-battalion regiment was made up to adapt to arquebuses and spears in the past. After the flintlock gun is installed, this kind of arrangement is not suitable.

This situation was exposed in the later period of the Unification War and the Korean Peninsula Campaign, but there was no time to rectify it at that time. After the Korean Peninsula Campaign, the Army organized a lot of research, and finally the strategy department under the Privy Council Department of Operations As the core, a new four-battalion establishment was proposed to adapt to new weapons and tactics.

The establishment of each infantry battalion is also larger than the previous infantry battalion, because the size of each infantry team has expanded from the previous hundred to about one hundred and forty people.

Therefore, the individual combat capability of each infantry battalion is also more powerful!
