Chapter 1014

The world's attack on the Han Dynasty seems to be a very big event. In fact, it is really a big event, but there will still be an order in which things happen.

Countries first instigated slave riots in order to plunge the Han Empire into internal turmoil.

Subsequently, the overseas territories of the Han Empire were attacked one after another. Some attacked in order to obtain gunpowder, but more attacked while the garrison was not too prepared.

If you want to break out a national war with a country, the first choice is naturally to provoke civil strife in that country. Even if it can not produce subversion, it will inevitably make it difficult for that country to take into account the outside world for a time.

Before dealing with the internal turmoil, it is even more difficult for the country to concentrate all its forces on the outside world.

Perhaps during the period of dealing with internal turmoil, the state will also trigger a greater internal crisis, which is tantamount to external forces trying to win the greatest interests at the slightest cost.

More than two months have passed since the first slave riots in Wuyang county. The slave riots one after another have indeed caused great losses to the Han Empire.

Slaves themselves were the property of the Han Empire. Every death of a slave was tantamount to the loss of part of the property. The slave riots also caused damage to the place, and the ongoing projects were forced to stop.

"In the past two months, according to statistics, more than 300000 slaves were lost, and the property loss was no less than 40000 yuan." Ji Chang looked rather haggard: "it was mainly because the location of the slave riots was either a construction site or a workshop or factory that there was such a high property loss."

It's all riots. Slaves can't destroy anything without destroying it. They can destroy everything they catch, and they won't have any scruples if they can set fire.

In fact, the efficiency of the crackdown by the garrison in various places is not slow. Even the slowest will arrive on the same day. That is, the arrival of the army does not mean that the destruction of slaves will stop, and subsequent wars will cause further damage.

Forty thousand dollars is four hundred thousand gold coins.

In the Han Empire, one thousand five baht coins were exchanged for one silver coin and ten silver coins for one gold coin.

Look at the loss of five baht money. It's not so painful when it's replaced with gold coins.

Liu Yan didn't care about property losses. The total annual taxes of the Han Empire exceeded 3 million gold coins at the lowest and even 7 million gold coins at the highest.

Because of the favorable tax revenue, the tax contribution of business accounts for about 45%, and the tax paid by Xun GUI accounts for about 15%. In addition to 8% of the agricultural tax, there are some miscellaneous taxes.

Liu Yan privately calculated that only the Shaofu's business activities accounted for 60% of the total tax.

The tax of the Han Empire was not one size fits all. There was a high tax on luxury goods, that is, luxury tax.

For example, for the transaction of jadeite, the tax to be paid for each transaction is 400 times that of agricultural tax.

The taxes paid are so many, and the profits that can be generated must be more than the taxes paid. The Han Empire can receive taxes of millions of gold coins every year, so the amount of business must be more than tens of millions of gold coins, but I don't know if it has exceeded 100 million.

For property losses, Liu Yan cares about how long it will take to recover after being damaged. He is actually holding a happy attitude towards the official losses more than the folk losses.

The official loss will also be lost. Private individuals will lose some, which may cut off the livelihood of a family, and even affect dozens, hundreds or more families.

After the loss, it must be rebuilt, and the official reconstruction will inevitably drive the increase of domestic demand. On the premise that there is no need to build more official facilities, the destruction and reconstruction is actually good news for the people.

"What is the attitude of the people towards what happened?" Liu Yan attached great importance to this: "is there a public opinion survey?"

How could Ji Chang ignore this aspect and replied: "sampling the people in Guanzhong did not cause large-scale panic. He was indignant about what happened."

In the past ten years, almost all the Han people have experienced the years when the hooligans were rampant. For them, the unrest this year is actually a small matter, and there is really no psychological panic.

"Your Majesty." Ji Chang felt it necessary to say good news: "before the arrival of the garrison, the people in many places spontaneously participated in the suppression of the slave riots. In some places, the slaves of the riots have been suppressed before the arrival of the army."

The Han Empire has been carrying out "two-season military training". Every summer and winter, all localities will convene young men and women for military training.

In the Han Empire, it was extremely normal for people to hold weapons.

Some foreigners who came to the Han Empire once suspected that they were coming to a large barracks. They wondered why the Han people had at least one dagger, and it was normal to hang a sword or knife around their waist

The types of weapons prohibited by the Han Empire were mainly strong bows and crossbows. On the contrary, people were encouraged to buy melee weapons. The prohibition of armor should be stricter. If people have a pair of armor, it's nothing, but if they have several pairs of armor, it's a crime.

In fact, there are "two seasons of military training" every year. Isn't it self contradictory to prohibit people from holding weapons?

"People..." Liu Yan didn't know whether to be happy or worried. He asked, "are there many casualties?"

In the two months of slave riots, the casualties of the army were less than 1000, and most of them were not serious injuries.

The people who spontaneously participated in the crackdown have weapons, but not everyone has armor. If they have armor, they can't compare with the military. The casualties are more serious than the military. According to statistics, 1017 people were killed in the war and more than 8000 people were slightly injured.

"The war dead are treated as those killed in the national war." Liu Yan was naturally pleased with the blood of the people: "everyone in the Han Dynasty dares to fight. What's the point of attacking the Han Dynasty all over the world."

Ji Chang did not encourage the people to participate in the war without permission. He believed that it was the duty of the army to go to the battlefield. If the people were recruited, there would be nothing. The responsibility of the people who were not recruited was to carry out production in the rear.

There are two sides to everything. It is naturally a good thing for people to participate in the war spontaneously, but if they have better organization, some casualties can be avoided.

"Your Majesty." Ji Chang frowned slightly and said, "the Shangshu order proposed that the whole Han country enter a state of war. I thought it was too early."

The so-called national war does not mean that everyone embarks on the battlefield to fight. It means that a large number of troops have been recruited. At the same time, the production system has also begun to focus on the production of military materials.

Ji Chang, who has been prime minister for several years, knows that if the whole country enters a state of war, what he did in the previous two years will be in vain, and his economic planning will inevitably become deformed.

At present, some production in the Han Empire depends on machinery, but most of the production actually depends on both hands. If mobilization really starts, the number of troops will increase sharply, representing that the youth of the people will decrease.

As long as it is a normal country, it is not the time of last resort. Really, no country will easily change from the normal system to the wartime system.

"At present, the troops in the northwest have moved to the western regions. The same is true of the troops stationed in Guanzhong." Ji Chang is a written order. He should not have interfered in military affairs, but it is really too big for the whole country to turn into the war system: "the Anxi capital guard will have the scale of five standing armies within one month at the latest. If the local can recruit 100000 auxiliary soldiers, there will be no worry."

The anxidu guard house originally had only one standing army, but it had the right to recruit local Han people as auxiliary soldiers.

The last time Li Kuang presided over the war with hunit, only two regular divisions were dispatched. Only 50000 people were recruited, and about 250000 western region servants joined the army.

In Ji Chang's view, in the face of the world's attack on the Han Dynasty, the Han Empire should take a defensive attitude, see which countries do it, and then fight for those countries that don't.

In this way, the Han Empire needs to pay special attention to the northwest and other overseas territories, and the rest is to pay attention to the domestic.

The Han Empire usually maintained 15 standing armies, and a new firearm division was compiled last year.

The current badminton army and the other two standing armies have entered the state of dressing up, but aren't there 13 standing armies that can be used? In particular, the firearm division is at the junjishan Colonel's headquarters not far behind anxidu's guard house.

"Li Kuang Hui governs four standing armies." Liu Yan didn't calculate the auxiliary soldiers temporarily recruited: "including the firearm division transferred from the captain Department of junjishan school."

The establishment of the firearm Division has been reformed. There are no longer five chiefs, but the establishment above "what" is retained. At the same time, new changes have taken place in the staffing. For example, the five five five system is used. For example, five what is a small team, five teams are a squadron, five squadrons are a brigade, five brigades are a regiment, and five regiments are a division.

The establishment of a firearm division is nearly 35000, which is more than that of the two standing armies.

In the future, once the standing army is reorganized into firearm divisions, it will basically be divided into four levels: A, B, C and D.

The class a division is an organization of 35000 people, with four standard rifle regiments, one standard artillery regiment and two baggage brigades.

At the level of division, there are still the designations of army, corps and group army. Three divisions are one army, three armies are one corps, and group army is equivalent to front army.

"Twenty years before Yuanshuo, a big man must have more than six firearm masters!" Knowing what Ji Chang was worried about, Liu Yan smiled and said, "Tai'an, now it's not that I want to be militaristic, but that those countries want to be difficult with big men."

"I dare not." Ji Changcai did not dare to say that Liu Yan was poor and militaristic. If Liu Yan insisted on entering the wartime system, he did not dare to stop it. However, he still had to do his duty as a minister and express his worries: "Your Majesty, the great man now has nearly 13 million children and nearly 6 million young people."

The so-called children are under the age of 12 and teenagers are between the ages of 12 and 18.

It is a national policy to have such an exaggerated number of children and teenagers.

The Han Empire has always encouraged more births and more children. For this reason, an exaggerated amount of finance has been allocated. There are assistance for more than two births and rewards for more than three births. If a family has more than eight births, even the husband will get the first-class title, and the mother will get the title of "great mother".

In fact, it is not so normal for a country to enter the absolute "rejuvenation". Before that, it can continue to start large projects because there are a large number of slaves.

At present, slaves everywhere continue to riot. Even where there is no riot, the project has stopped one after another.

Now that there have been slave riots, the monitoring and control of slaves must be infinitely improved. In the past, more than 100 people could guard 10000 slaves, but at present, 1000 people are needed to take care of 10000 slaves.

It is conceivable that as long as the slave riots have not been completely subsided, or even after they have been completely subsided, the use of slaves everywhere is absolutely cautious. The manpower and finance used in this regard must be increased.

There was a riot among slaves, but the established castration policy did not stop. According to Liu Yan, since some things had happened, they simply carried out what they should do.

In that case, the slave riots will probably not stop one day.

After all, as a man, who is not afraid of his bird being cut?

Before that, I was afraid of death again. Who wouldn't resist if I knew that I was going to be cut into birds?

For a long time, a large number of projects will be shut down and the chaos will continue. This is undoubtedly a great challenge for the Han Empire.

In this situation, if we turn to the wartime system, the stagnation of people's livelihood is inevitable, and even there will be a certain degree of retrogression, which will only lead to the unhealthy expansion of various items related to military industry.

"I understand." Liu Yan thought it was not necessarily a bad thing: "I know what I'm doing."

Today's military industry is also closely linked to people's livelihood, which is not so clear-cut in modern times.

Even though the Han Empire was about to enter the era of firearms, cold weapons still dominated the army, which was nothing more than a huge consumption of pig iron and steel.

In the current society, the lack of pig iron and steel will not have a fatal impact at all.

Once it is a large-scale military expansion, the first benefit will be related to garment making. And this is definitely something that ordinary people can benefit from.

"Tai'an." Liu Yan comforted: "what you need to pay close attention to at present is the discipline of children and teenagers everywhere. As long as you do this well, the big man can't mess up."

The first nursery was established in the seventh year of Yuanshuo.

The first primary school was established in the 11th year of Yuanshuo.

There are now 8727 primary schools, 609 middle schools and 74 high schools in the Han Empire, but there is only one university in Chang'an.

Of course, this number is not enough and needs to be increased again and again.

"I will not immediately turn the country into a wartime system." Liu Yan wants to give Jichang a reassurance: "the big man is forced to get involved in the war this time. He must make the strongest counterattack, but they are not good enough to let the big man fully turn into the wartime system."

Ji Chang was relieved immediately. He said that it was the western region that would really break out a great war. At most, there was another Tianzhu Prefecture guard, which didn't need the whole country to enter the wartime system immediately.
