A large amount of silver flowed into China. The country gave three million taels of silver a year to China (including silver, gold and copper mines), while Hong Maofan gave more, at least 15 million taels of silver a year. The year is more than 20 million taels of silver, as well as silver from the trade of Asan, Ottoman Turkey, and Arabs.

The Southeast Mansion, which is in charge of maritime trade, has really made a lot of money, while China has benefited from all walks of life.

Why did Yan Changwu behave like mischief on the mainland, and his enemies are nearly tens of millions, but there is no uprising?

The deep reason is that he has guaranteed the maritime trade route, silver is flowing into China, and no one will have trouble with silver!

In other words, Yan Changwu used foreign silver to maintain his rule.

With a severe trade deficit, foreigners are reluctant to give so much silver to the Chinese, but their manufacturing and productivity are not the Chinese rivals at all!

The Chinese are the most diligent nation in the world, and they have high IQs. Um, they really don't give other people a way to survive.

In the past, present and future, the productivity was amazing, and foreign countries were haunted. Is there only one China in the world?

Of course, foreigners have also fumbled. For example, the red hair fan used Yapian, the Arabs trafficked "Katergrass" and other crooked ways, and tried to balance trade, they all had a bloodshed.

Caterpillar, also called Yemeni tea, contains stimulants and is easily addictive.

Others don't know those games. The boss of the Southeast House Yan Changwu doesn't know the origin of the "Sick Man of East Asia"? !

He promptly ordered that all participants who import such things harmful to health, no matter who they are, will be sentenced to ten years, twenty years, and thirty years of hard labor, depending on the seriousness of the circumstances. The sentence will increase from ten to ten years. The lowest level is For ten years, the highest grade is lifeless and beheading. This law applies to all parts of China.

At the same time, a vigorous anti-drug campaign was launched among the people, so that the foreigners' money-making plan was suddenly aborted.

But what a foreigner gave to Bai Yin...Chen Zhongji was unsteady. He walked around the house and instructed Zhou Xingrui: "You can do a statistic and count the total number of ships, numbers, and artillery of Westerners in the Indian Ocean. And the number of new ships."

So Zhou Xingrui worked for three more days. On the fourth day, he reported from Huihui: "The number of ships of Westerners in the Indian Ocean has increased over the years, and the tonnage, artillery, and number of people have increased. In addition, they have built shipyards in India. .

"Their ships are mainly Portuguese, Dutch, and British ships. There are more than 300 ships in the Indian Ocean throughout the year. Among them, there are more than 50 double-deck ships. We don’t have their previous statistics. But according to those Indians, Western ships have indeed come more and bigger than before!"

"Their shipyards are located in three locations in India, and the ships they produce are all double-deck gun-deck, and there are more than ten each year!"

"The number of people has increased much more than before..." Zhou Xingrui came together: "There are two hundred Dutch ships, but they are generally single-deck merchant ships. It is worth noting that more and more Dutch ships have come in recent years. , Getting bigger and bigger, while British ships are bigger..."

It has to be said that the intelligence agencies of the Southeast Prefecture have done a lot of work. As the focus of monitoring, foreign ships have been rigorously investigated. Zhou Xingrui's report was even completed on the basis of the reports of the intelligence agency.

"The situation is very obvious, and the chances of Hong Mao Fan going to war with us are extremely high!"

Chen Zhongji came to the conclusion: "The Sino-foreign war is inevitable. It seems that the British and the Dutch join forces to attack our Southeast Mansion!"

He reported to the housewife Yang Ying'er. Yang Ying'er was a traditional woman who was deeply influenced by Yan Changwu's thoughts. What she thought was what would happen to her husband when such a thing happened?

The answer is "prepare for war!"

The preparation plan was launched that year, and it is ready!

The General Staff Headquarters of the Southeast Government is not eating for nothing. They are responsible for commanding operations during wartime, making plans one by one in their leisure time, organizing exercises and confrontations.

Including responding to the threat of Baipi, countering riots, dealing with dissatisfied Chinese minors, pirates, etc.

Among them, the threat of the white skin is the key point, because they are the ancestors of sailing warships, and they have enough ability to threaten the sea routes of the Southeast.

Anticipating the possibility of a large-scale attack, the General Staff made the following preparation plans.

1. Shipbuilding!

There is no reason to say that it is our warships that deal with enemy warships. The speed is doubled as the original plan for shipbuilding. That is to say, it is planned to build four battleships this year, but it will increase to eight battleships.

Two, artillery!

The casting of artillery is also doubled as planned.

3. Preparation of personnel and materials.

Increase the training intensity of the reserve and the scope of the recruitment, accumulate gunpowder, artillery, muskets and shipbuilding materials, check warehouse supplies, and be prepared for trouble, all according to the usual double backup.

4. Inspect existing ships, and require all fleets and defenders to strengthen their training intensity and prepare for battle.

Fifth, check the waterway, do a good job of hydrological data, and hand it over to the captains for more training.

Sixth, conduct investigations in various places to remove unstable factors. This is a major aspect and is aimed at all forces. On the small side, it is to catch spies, internally guard against, and externally catch criminals who want to spy on the military.

...

In the past few days, Chen Zhongji has convened small meetings to prompt the cabinet and various ministries to work, and the army has been held tightly by him. After officers at all levels held meetings, they hurried to implement them in the army.

The Southeast Army has been reorganized, and its establishment is as follows:

1. The garrison forces of the major islands:

It is under the command of the Governor’s Mansion on the major islands, including Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Bali and New Guinea. It has a garrison force including one army division (more than 10,000 people, B Class division), marine brigade (more than 3,000 people), naval cruise ship detachment fleet, a total of six units.

Among them, each detachment fleet has 15 six-tier cruise ships. According to naval regulations, during peacetime, each warship has a standard training, duty, and rest period of 18 months, and each takes 1/3 of the time. Therefore, under normal circumstances, warships are on duty or take on combat missions, one-third of them conduct maritime training, and another one-third of them rest in the port or enter the factory for maintenance.

Of course, the period of training, rest and maintenance, and maintenance will be shortened during wartime, and the number of warships capable of performing combat missions will be increased by about 50% to double that of normal. When necessary, all warships will be put into combat.

This is an operation that can only be done after a big business, otherwise you will only have a few battleships, one-third of which are used for patrols, and there is no sail shadow on the big sea.

There is not enough power to patrol the sea, so don't blame others for thinking too much.

Moreover, if the wooden warship is used continuously, and if it is not maintained, the seabed will soon become overgrown with things and move at the speed of a tortoise, or if the ship maggot erodes the bottom of the ship, it will lose a lot of money.

Then again, there are still few warships. For example, the warships that conduct sea training are actually on duty, and they must participate in handling bad situations. At the same time, warships still need to be trained when they are on duty, but the focus is different.

For the use of the complete troops on the major islands, complete procedures are required. One is the military order of the General Staff. Second, in emergency situations, the governor, the central commissioner stationed on each island, and the military commander will sign the military order at the same time to mobilize the army. ~lightnovelpub.net~ The military order of the General Staff is the first priority.

However, the use of the army is still troublesome and is not conducive to emergency handling. Therefore, armed police are formed. They are not as equipped as the army, but the procedures for transfer are relatively simple. Training is under the command of the army and the use is under the governor.

2. Army units directly under the Southeast Government.

Class A divisions, each with 13,000 to 5,000 people, are equipped with the best equipment and have the strongest firepower. They have 6-pound and 12-pound heavy marching guns (the second-class division has fewer guns) and rear-mounted flintlocks ( The second-level division is not equipped with this kind of gun), there are six such divisions;

3. The Marine Corps.

There are six marine brigades, each with more than 3,000 men.

4. Reserve forces.

This is the largest army. All the physically viable males from sixteen to sixty years old are reserved.

6. Naval combat forces.

The essence of the Southeast Army's army is the core unit.
