You can search for the latest chapters in Baidu for "Super Emperors Search Novels of the Late Qing Dynasty (www.soxscc.com)"!The Emperor Neon himself took out the coffin to fund the navy. Upon hearing this news, the neon aristocrats and rich people also rushed to donate and raise a large amount of funds.

Neon used the money to buy three 4,300-ton heavy-armored cruisers, "Matsushima," "Itsukushima," and "Hashidate" as in history.

Even using Gaul’s stupid green-water naval strategy, he successfully obtained three 10,000-ton battleships.

It's a pity that at that time...

What can a country without independent production capacity have to worry about, let alone bankruptcy soon.

When the news that the Neon Emperor used the coffin book to set off a wave of ship purchases reached Wang Guangxu's ears, he couldn't help but smile, and he turned his gaze to other places.

That is to reform the military system.

It's just that although the gang of Manchu nobles were somewhat afraid of the little emperor after the last incident, they still strongly opposed the things designed to their fundamental interests.

"The new army and the banner soldier are stronger and weaker!"

Wang Guangxu's words made them speechless when writing.

"Xiao Shunzi! This is the first letter from the prince?"

Wang Guangxu smiled lightly and threw the memorial in his hand aside.

"In addition to the Prince Li who just handed over the paper, four other princes and county princes also have the paper."

Xiao Shunzi always divides the playing styles into different categories, of course, he can't make any comments.

"Let them do it! First carry on the military system reform!"

A light flashed in his eyes. Those princes were not Sazi, for fear that Wang Guangxu would seize their foundation and hold on to these bad soldiers.

One after another, they wanted to change all the banner soldiers to the new army, but Wang Guangxu allowed them all.

Now there is still some money in the treasury. Raising these idiots will put them in chaos first, and when they are free, the princes will spit out even the profits.

Of course, there are also warriors and wise men in the Man-Meng and Han Eight Banners. These need to be treated separately.

After some investigation, Wang Guangxu was taken aback by the data compiled.

There are various military names in the whole country, such as the Manchu-Mongolia-Han Eight Banners, Green Camps, Yong Camps, Defense Forces, Army Training, and Regimental Training. The organization provides more than 800,000 people, not including the nearly 100,000 new troops recruited by Wang Guangxu and Two hundred thousand new troops in training.

Although the population of the Qing Empire now has 400 million bonuses.But this is not comparable to the productivity of later generations.

Several military powers in later generations have a standing army of no more than one million.

These soldiers can be roughly divided into three levels: soldier, brave, and Ding.

Soldiers are the standing army of the imperial court. There are two custom-made units, establishments, and military pay. They are recruited by the Ministry of War and paid by the Ministry of Households.Love Bookstore www.2shuwuxs.com

Yong is the temporary recruitment of "official courage" by the local government. When there is war, they will go back to each family to farm.

Ding is a regiment who is scattered and everywhere, and is a local regiment allowed by the court to practice armed forces, that is, a "militia" organized by officials and gentry.

As for Ding, it is a group training that the place allows to recruit.

Among them, banner soldiers, green camps, and military training belong to the standing army of the court.

The total strength of the banner soldiers is less than 150,000, and they are divided into two types: "banned flags" and "garrisoned eight banners."The former are full of people, mainly in the capital.The latter are found in Manchuria, Mongolian and Han, and are located in various places.

The green camp is the descendants of the Ming army and the common people who were incorporated when the Manchus entered the customs. Originally, the green camp should be the main fighting force of the Qing army and the main force of suppression and resistance for hundreds of years, but it was beaten in the Taiping Taiguo Movement. Falling flowers and flowing water, but now the least number of people.

As for the military training, it was developed from the Green Camp, and it is different from the Green Camp. The quasi-typical ones are the "Xiang Army" founded by Zeng Guofan, the "Chu Army" of Zuo Zongtang, and the "Huai Army!"

These three armies all draw some elites from the green camp, directly recruited into "brave", and use the sunset method for training, becoming the main force in the campaign to suppress the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom.

By virtue of their achievements in suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they achieved the same status as the Green Camp. Even in the future wars against foreign aggression, they were also the main force among them. Although they did not have a big victory, at least they are no longer the same as before. The army of thousands of powers was broken.

Many auspicious characters have also emerged.

With a big wave of his hand,

Most of the Dings at the lowest level belong to the regiment training arms, but these regiment training arms are also much stronger than the main force holding the standing army. The outstanding ones are the Gui army and the Yunnan army who also contributed in the Qing and Gaul wars. Up.

"Hehe standing army is the rice bucket!" Yong "The battalion is the main force!"

Seeing these Wang Guangxu couldn't help but smile, in fact, most of the 100,000 new troops also came from the Huai, Chu, and Hunan.

And a considerable part of the 200,000 people who signed up for the new army are duplicates of the list of these three towns.

Because these people belonged to the Han government in charge of soldiers, the Manchus were worried about them before, so although they were given the same treatment, they were not given status.

When these people were still in power, the military was strong, and once they stepped down or had problems, they were quickly dismissed or weakened.

For example, the Hunan Army, which was in full swing before, stepped down after Zeng Guofan, and even after his death, Vaga quickly landslide, from 400,000 at its peak to less than 80,000 now.

The Huai army and the Chu army were indeed retained mostly because of Zuo Zongtang's relationship with Li Hongzhang.

For these two people, they also withstood the test of Wang Guangxu. Although Zuo Zongtang protected his shortcomings and often looted him, he basically would not rob his own people, and that was also forced by the situation. The court had no money, and he himself had no money. Do you let yourself die in vain?

Li Hongzhang is more committed to giving up, but no one is perfect, these two people are great talents.As long as they can play their works according to Wang Guangxu's rules.

As for the main Han soldiers, there is no problem with them after Wang Guangxu took power. The main generals among them have long been devoted to him.

He has always regarded himself as a Han Chinese, without any knots at all.

With a big wave of his hand, he directly assigned this part of the troops to the new army for the survival of the fittest...
