Macro, regulation.
These words always seem a bit lofty, but for the emperor, they are an essential skill.
When you are an emperor, you must not always focus on the small things, but you are calculating.
To be an emperor, you should take a long-term view.
The day-to-day government affairs of the Dahua Empire, Zhang Chao has now basically been completely handed over to the cabinet.
There is a Hanlin Academy looking at the cabinet, but in fact, there is no need to worry about what problems go wrong with the cabinet.
Zhang Chao is the kind of person who advocates hard work and likes management.
Dahua's cabinet and Hanlin Academy all use people and handle things very reliably, which allows Zhang Chao to let go with confidence.
Ma Zhou, Fang Xuanling, Yu Suiliang, and Cen Wenwen have become more and more calm.
They can always understand the emperor's intentions very well, and can understand his intentions, and can reach a tacit understanding with him very well, and the cooperation between the monarchs and ministers of Daxing has always been very good.
In the early days.
Zhang Chao sat on the dragon chair on top of the Danqi, and Wei Zheng, the president of the Senate, came out to report the proposed militia bill in the upper house.
The morning dawn is open every day, but the time has been arranged in the morning, and it is no longer the past to rush to the morning before dawn.
Every day when he sleeps until dawn, Zhang Chao can still spend half an hour exercising, then take a bath, read the newspaper while having breakfast, and then leisurely go to court.
This was the best time of his day.
Wei Zheng's report was also very concise, legislation was a matter within the purview of their parliament, especially since this matter itself was the emperor's intention, and he was only reporting on the progress now.
For example, the House of Lords has already set up a legislative committee, which experts, scholars, and military representatives have been invited, and which senior senators have been arranged.
Everything was very well organized, Zhang Chao nodded as he listened.
After Wang Chengen's death, the eunuchs in the inner chamber have been replaced, and the new eunuch is not a eunuch, but a civil official, and the eunuchs in the palace are served by the young eunuchs of the inner service province.
This young eunuch has also been in the palace for many years, but his position in the past was not high, but his qualifications are quite sufficient, especially his ability to do things is good, and this person has no bad deeds.
Zhang Chao made an exception to use him as a young eunuch and became the new head of the palace.
This eunuch named Li Chaoen is very duty-bound.
Standing next to him, he saw that there was less tea in front of Zhang Chao, and he came over to fill it up.
Zhang Chao took a sip and said to Wei Zheng, who had already finished reporting, "Before the end of the year, I hope the draft can be taken out." ” "The ministers will do it as soon as possible."
"Hmm."
Zhang Chao nodded, put down the teacup, and thought for a while before saying, "The parliament will take a moment, gather more people, and draft another colonial bill." ” Dafa now implements full-scale overseas colonization and relaxes the conditions for colonization.
Give those companies who are willing to expand overseas, and let them colonize.
However, colonization involves all aspects, and the imperial court also needs to have a special bill in this regard to guide it.
"Okay."
Wei Zheng had long been accustomed to the various requests that the emperor always made suddenly, and although the emperor sometimes inadvertently made some important requests, these requests were not made randomly.
On the contrary, these requests are always timely.
The routine morning pilgrimage is over, and today's morning pilgrimage is still controlled within half an hour.
Li Chaoen shouted in a long tone to retreat from the court, and hundreds of officials saluted.
Zhang Chao got up and said to Li Chaoen, "I will invite the privy envoy, the secretary of the military department, and the marshal of the three yas to come to the imperial study to discuss the matter." ” Li Chaoen nodded without hesitation.
This is also where Zhang Chao is very satisfied with Li Chaoen, he doesn't have much ambition, and he won't care too much about things that shouldn't be taken care of.
The Imperial Study.
Zhang Chao changed into a light dragon robe, and as soon as he sat down, Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang, Li Xiuning, and Guo Xiaoke came over.
"Don't be polite, everyone, this is not a court.
I have summoned you because I have something to consult with you about the army. ” Dahua claims to have a standing army of 600,000 and has three major offices: the Northern Yamen, the Southern Yamen and the Navy Yamen.
However, in fact, the Dahua army has been expanding, mainly the navy.
Originally, the four major fleets of the navy had 80,000 troops.
But now there are far more than 80,000, and Dahua's navy has gone farther and farther, not only stationing fleets in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, but even Xiaohai, that is, the sea outside the Heilongjiang River, and even the North Pacific Ocean to patrol.
In the Indian Ocean, in the Pacific Ocean, in the Red Sea, in the Persian Gulf, in the Mediterranean, and even in the Caspian Sea, which the Tang Dynasty called the West Sea, there are fleets, and there are also sailors in Qinghai Lake, Lake Baikal and other places.
And the fleets that accompany them are often equipped with a large number of land forces.
Under Dahua's overseas strategy, more and more troops are being deployed outside the mainland.

"I'm going to adjust Dahua's army deployment.
It is proposed to change the southern, northern, and naval forces into three commands: the army, navy, and marines.
The original Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces is planned to be changed into eight theater commands.
In addition to the five theaters in the Central Plains, three theaters were set up: the Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and the Mediterranean. ” The readjustment of the military is also aimed at better adapting to the new situation and making the command structure of the entire military more fluid.
After the establishment of the War Department, the North and South Ya were subordinated to the Army Headquarters, and the North Ya still had the Emperor's Sixth Army and the Emperor's Guards and the Fourth Army, and still retained the establishment of 10 armies and 200,000 troops, responsible for guarding the five capitals.
The establishment of 320,000 people of the 16th Army of the Southern Ya remained unchanged, and the garrison was still in the Central Plains under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.
In addition, the number of the Navy will be expanded, and a new Marine Corps Command will be established.
The navy originally had four fleets, and Zhang Chao planned to increase the number to 12 fleets, from the Heilongjiang Fleet to the Korean Fleet, to the Yellow Sea Fleet, and then to the East China Sea Fleet, the South China Sea Fleet, the Pacific Fleet, the Indian Ocean Fleet, the Persian Gulf Fleet, the Red Sea Fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet, the Caspian Sea Fleet, and the Atlantic Fleet.
Twelve fleets, the size of a single fleet is not as large as in the past, 10,000 people each.
The individual fleet was only half the size of the past, but the entire navy as a whole increased by 40,000 people.
In addition, the newly established Marine Corps will also be stationed overseas in Dahua.
These marines were mainly paired with the navy and were stationed in various overseas colonies, or overseas territorial port forts in Dahua.
The Marine Corps is composed of 12 divisions, each with 10,000 men, for a total of 120,000 men.
Therefore, if Dahua completes this round of expansion, Dahua will have 520,000 troops, 120,000 navy, and 120,000 marines, with a total strength of 760,000.
The addition of 160,000 troops is actually about 100,000 more than the existing army.
Qin Qiong and the others listened carefully to the emperor's speech, and asked, "Will it be too much to expand the original base by 160,000 all of a sudden, and now the imperial court supports these 600,000 standing troops, and the annual military expenditure is more than 100 million, accounting for more than sixty percent of Dahua's financial revenue."
If there are so many more troops, I am afraid that military spending will increase a lot, especially the navy and marines, who are mainly stationed overseas, and this expenditure will only be even higher. ” In the traditional army, cavalry is more expensive than infantry, but in fact, the army is far less expensive than the navy.
A battleship in the navy can move hundreds of thousands or even millions, which is not comparable to the army.
Even if the cost of building ships is declining now, the navy has basically completed the equipment of ships, and the new 40,000 people can be added, which is equivalent to adding half of the new ships at once, and this cost is even higher.
"I also consider the issue of military spending.
The navy now has 80,000 men and has more than a dozen first-class warships and nearly 100 second-class warships, which we have invested heavily in equipping.
After I am, I don't need to build too many new ships for the time being, and directly assign these existing main warships to twelve fleets, and match them, in fact, the ships are enough. ” In the past, there were actually 16 sub-fleets in the era of the four major fleets, so more warships were built, and now they have been changed to 12 fleets, but on the contrary, each fleet is larger than in the past, so the fleet can have more ships.
The change from the Fourth Fleet to the Twelfth Fleet is also to allow each fleet to have greater autonomy and to avoid having to report to each fleet one level in case of trouble, so as not to delay the opportunity.
In fact, Dahua's warships, it can be said that through naval battles, they have long proved that they are far superior to other countries for several generations, so there is no need to build too many new ships, and they can also have enough deterrence.
The 12 fleets, with 12 divisions of marines, allow Dahua's military forces to be deployed to various places, and it is also the guarantee of Dahua's navigation strategy.
Whether it is maritime trade or overseas colonization, with these overseas military forces, they can give greater security.
"The minister also supports the deployment of troops overseas, but is it appropriate to reduce the number of garrisons in the Central Plains?"
He is now the secretary of the military department, responsible for the military and political system, as the youngest famous general in the military today, he supports the military to go out, but now Dahua is opening up to the outside world, and the Central Plains is very safe.
If the Central Plains retains a strong standing army of 520,000, he thinks it will be a bit wasteful.
In particular, the imperial court is now going to introduce a militia bill, and in the future, the imperial court will have a hundred divisions of militia and a million militiamen, the vast majority of which are all over the Central Plains.
The new militia will be more elite, more trained, better ordnance, etc.
With such a strong militia, there is no need to keep so many Central Plains standing troops.
"This is also a problem that Dingfang said, the Central Plains retains 520,000 troops from the north and south, which does seem to be a lot.
If we only talk about military needs, the Central Plains can actually cut half of its troops, after all, only we are going out to fight others, and others are not capable of hitting us at all. ” Speaking of this, Zhang Chao paused, "However, some things can't be purely from a military point of view, we also have to consider other aspects." ” The other aspects that Zhang Chao said are not just from a military point of view, but from a political point of view.
If the Central Plains reduces its troops, there will be a situation in which the country will be strong from the outside.
In history, when the Kaiyuan Dynasty was prosperous, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji implemented such a deployment, and there were ten powerful feudal towns in the frontier with elite border troops.
But in the Central Plains, there was an empty army. t1706231537:
