Chapter 1005 The New Generation
And the emperor's mind that gave Ma Haochuan the opportunity to make military achievements was also because the emperor was not prepared to let Ma Haochuan lead the army after he "leaves", at least not let him take charge of the Beijing camp field troops.

Rather, it has other uses.

At the time of the military reform, Liu Yu mentioned the difference between field battles, battles, and wars to clean up public security and reform land return.

I also said that the previous dynasty spent all day with the Mongols in the Northwest, playing against unarmored Mongols. The experience I gained was that muskets do not need to break armor, but need to shoot quickly in disorder, so things like three-eyed guns are very popular.Waiting to deal with the "Hongwu Yongle Nian Ming Army" that General Dragon and Tiger of the Ming Dynasty learned from the founding military system of the Ming Dynasty, he was powerless.

I also said that Dashun’s actual combat experience in reforming the soil and returning home in the southwest, the result of the actual combat is a bunch of detours: playing the Southwest Tusi, the experience gained is a lot of wonderful cannons.

Small ones, big ones, and even a fork in the division of artillery into light and heavy without medium-caliber field artillery, or a bunch of small-caliber cannons that can be carried by two people are actually big guns to strengthen the firepower and "bully" the chieftain without guns ; or use super-heavy siege guns that specialize in attacking towers and city walls to meet the special needs of the southwestern battlefield of land reform.

But this kind of special experience of "security warfare" is really easy to use.

But with the stinky chess basket, the more you play, the more stinky it becomes. It's really not good to be able to be beaten out by human artillery.If you really encounter troops with regularized field artillery, you will suffer a lot.

The emperor is not good at fighting, but the truth is still understandable.

Can a general who has been trained in reforming the land in the southwest and suppressing the rebellion in western Sichuan be able to afford the ability to command troops in large-scale field battles?
Will those field experience in Southwest reformation be beneficial or harmful in possible field battles in the future?

To be handsome and king, the key is to make the best use of everything.

Where should I choose the generals who will be in charge of field troops like the Beijing camp?

Obviously, it must be selected from the battlefields of such large-scale field battles as conquests and wars against Japan.Some things, especially the battles of the large corps, are almost meaningless in the end only by learning the art of war or talking on paper, and they cannot be learned from the kind of war against the chieftain.

And where should Ma Haochuan's experience from reforming the land in the southwest to suppressing the rebellion in western Sichuan be used in the future?

The emperor thought about it.

To be precise, Ma Haochuan was one of the candidates left by the emperor for his son to be the "Governor in India".

Because, the emperor chose the first batch of newcomers who grew up with Liu Yu as generals to fight against India, and their relationship with Liu Yu was too deep.

After the field battle is over and the winner is determined, he will be transferred back to the country for one-stop service - knighting, the Privy Council for the elderly, and the right to withdraw troops.

In the future, the generals stationed in India may not necessarily be able to fight large-scale field battles, but they must be good at small-scale suppression, surprise attacks, rapid maneuvers, and early disintegration.

In other words, in the future, we need a master of security warfare, not a master of field warfare in India.

The emperor was really very interested in India.

The reason for interest is not trade.

No one told the emperor, or that the emperor was not a traveler, so it was impossible for the emperor to know that in history, before the opium trade, the East India Company’s first income was India’s land tax, and the second income was India’s salt tax.

However, Li Gan was the Emperor of Dashun.

Therefore, he does not need others to tell him, nor does he need a prophet to tell him that if such a big, rich, and populous place wants to make money, the top two must be the land tax and the salt tax.

Telling this truth to the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty is like telling the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty mysteriously: the sun rises from the east, pure fucking nonsense.

The emperor said in his heart, can I still know that the most profitable is to collect land tax, poll tax and salt tax?

The awareness of making money in industry and commerce requires the emperor to have extremely high pioneering ideas.

The consciousness of making money from land tax and salt tax requires that the emperor is not an idiot.

Of course, this is also related to tradition and national conditions.

Therefore, it was Duplex of the French East India Company who first came up with the idea of ​​land tax in India, not Britain, which was founded on commerce and trade.

So that for a period of time in the later period, it was clear that the East India Company controlled the salt tax, and the British industrial capital also asked the company to release the salt tax so that the British salt producers could go to sell salt. Health is inhumane", the East India Company scolded in the parliament, and it was all business in the hearts of the people.

For Dashun, collecting land tax and salt tax is simply more national and traditional.

Liu Yu's cakes in India did not mention the promotion of domestic industry and commerce, and even couldn't say it, it didn't make sense.

Because if there were no natural or man-made disasters that disintegrated the small-scale peasant economy and handicraft industry in India, going to India to sell cotton cloth would be no different from going to Songjiang Prefecture to sell silk, to Jingdezhen to sell ceramics, or to Ezo to sell salted fish.

The cakes that the emperor saw were also India's land tax and salt tax.

So this cake, after knowing that the centralization of power in India has collapsed, the Indian governors have conquered each other, and the Afghan side once again rushed into India to rob Delhi, the emperor's mind is already fixed and can no longer be settled.Jiedu envoys conquer each other, what else is Shi Jingtang missing?
After a little calculation, we know that there are at least 2000 million taels of land tax and 600 million taels of salt tax.

Per year.

How can the emperor be careless in selecting talents for the future?
So this change in the Southwest strategy is actually the emperor using the Southwest as an examination room to pick out a group of people who are good at governing this "barbarian" area and who are good at launching wars on their own initiative.

This time the southern Sichuan reform, the direction that the emperor grasped was completely different from the direction that Liu Yu cared about.

In the future, after the overall situation in India is settled and the group of people who are closer to Liu Yu are transferred back to the Privy Council for retirement, what kind of people are needed to go to India?
military attache.

One needs to grow up in another strategic direction that is not based on Liu Yu being the commander-in-chief and going out for the general.

It needs to be thrown to a place, and there must be initiative. Don’t worry about starting a frontier without permission, but be good at seizing the opportunity and take the initiative to start a frontier. When Jiedu envoys fight to the detriment of both sides, do they rush directly to end?Or should I report back to the court first and wait for the court to decide?

It is necessary to fight that kind of small-scale war frequently. Before the big battle is held, through one small-scale war after another, the opponent is unable to gather strength and set off a large-scale field counterattack.

It is necessary to have a certain strategic awareness, not only to fight wars, but also to be good at dealing with the intricate ethnic relations like the southwest region.

You need to have courage, dare to bet, and dare to fight.

It is necessary to adapt to the complex hot and humid climate, and it is necessary to be mentally prepared to fight in the hot and humid area.

All of the above determined that Ma Haochuan would definitely not be the most capable young general in Dashun ten years from Taixing, but he must be the most suitable general to train in the Southwest and go to India in the future.

Of course, the emperor didn't just choose this pair.

Instead, taking advantage of the opportunity of the development of southern Sichuan, through the development of the salt industry in southern Sichuan, after consolidating the Syrian prefecture, the gateway to Guizhou and Yunnan, the policy towards the southwest should be fully transformed into a more radical initiative than reforming the land.

But the Syrian state capital, the Syrian-Malaysian military region, is where it all started and where it is easiest to try out whether new experiences are available.

The military attache is like this.

The same goes for civil servants.

The candidate for governor of Xuzhou recommended by Liu Yu is also the candidate that the emperor thinks is more suitable for the future.

Because India is not the native land of Dashun.

To put it bluntly, how big is the Syrian state capital?Just for this point, to make an exception and promote two people who are likely to be named marquis and prime minister after 30 years of good work?Of course, we have to make a longer-term plan, otherwise, just rename the state capital, and the emperor can change it with a few radical ones, so why use these two young and promising people.

One does the work and the other does the work, but regardless of the work or the past in the future, they have to do things beautifully.

Internally, everyone's evaluation of what the governor of Xuzhou is going to do may be similar to that of the mine supervisor in the previous dynasty.But to go outside, people who dare to act like this are needed.

The curriculum vitae of the prefect of the prefecture of Syria mentioned above can be regarded as the kind of officials who "take off" because of the southward shift of the strategic center of gravity that has emerged from Dashun in the past few years.

The official's surname is Niu and his first name is Congyun.

Niu Congyun's resume can also be regarded as a standard example of Taixing's promotion at the speed of light ten years later.

He first worked as a county magistrate in Changhua County, Taiwan. He reclaimed wasteland, immigrated, and absorbed rice plantations and sugarcane plantations. In other words, Liu Yu’s capital investment in Songjiang Prefecture made him outstanding.

The evaluation of the big plan is done once every three years, and he worked for a total of five years. He passed the evaluation twice, and was promoted to the state shepherd on the other side of Jinghai.

I have not been working as a state herdsman for two years, because of the previous accumulation effect, the cost of immigration has been extremely reduced. In addition, the development of Ezo, capital going north to cook oil, whaling and catching seals, and something happened in North Korea. It makes it more than just a thriving daily life, but the population directly doubles within two years.

Although in fact, it’s not much worse to change someone else. At that point, as long as you follow the general trend and do things that benefit the people, you don’t have to follow the old ways;

It took this Niu Congyun two years to directly cross the hurdle that many officials may not be able to overcome in their lifetime. Congzhou Mu did not go to Beijing to become an official in Beijing. Do things that specifically offend people.

Because at that time, southern Jiangsu was undergoing tax reform, and it was necessary to check the acres of land, and collect land tax according to the tax rate called [-], but it was actually September [-] tax.

The imperial court appointed a lot of people to be the assistants of the Fu Yin on the southern side of Sunan. They were similar to the Tong Zhi in the previous dynasty, but different, more like a special commissioner at the department level, but in name they were the Deputy Tong Zhi of the Fu Yin.

The tax reform process is difficult to describe in one word, but it was finally completed.

He performed brilliantly and dared to offend others, and this time he was promoted directly to the prefect in his early thirties.

In his early 30s, he was promoted to governor, of course he has his own efforts, but it is also closely related to the general environment. Whether he is a county magistrate in Taiwan or a state shepherd in Jinghai, he is in line with the general trend superior.

The emperor wanted Niu Congyun to be the governor of Xuzhou, on the one hand because of his good resume, and on the other hand because he valued his advantages that he had never worked in a "serious" place.

Regardless of whether it is the Taiwan government or Jinghai, the ability to handle affairs is not reflected in the direction that the officials of the internal states and counties are good at, but in whether they can understand the new policy, dare to let it go, and break through the previous shackles.

Moreover, it is either dealing with immigrants, or dealing with Fanyi, and then dealing with local big landlords and local gentry to check the land. In short, these three characteristics are applicable to the Syrian state capital.

Especially the new well salt policy, as well as the barbarians in the south of the Syrian prefecture, really need such a person who dares to cut through the mess.

He and Ma Haochuan are similar "heroes created by the times". Ma Haochuan's success lies in his understanding of the tactics of the new era and the change of the imperial court's strategy in the southwest region. was reused.If Dashun's strategy had not changed, such provocations would have been hidden long ago; or if it wasn't that Liu Yu presided over the military reform's direction of emphasizing rapid changes in formation and battalion tactical units, he made military achievements twice Risk-taking actions may be about to become atypical.

Much of Niu Congyun's success stems from the imperial court's policy of going south and the formation of the Songjiang Prefecture Industrial and Commercial Capital Group.

Much of Ma Haochuan's success stems from the imperial court's military reforms and the foreshadowing of the Southwest by the former Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

They are not Liu Yu's people, they just borrowed some strength from the side, but they are not the ones Liu Yu took the initiative to help up.

This is exactly the younger generation that the emperor likes.
