Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 648 Postwar Arrangements

  The report of "Paris Saint-Germain" reminded Li Fushou, he called Li Sixian, deputy director of the palace secretariat, and ordered;

"You ask the court attaché’s office to summarize the situation of Ballarat and the southern war, and report it quickly. You will also inform the wartime emergency committee to make a summary of the previous year, summarize the relevant situation as soon as possible, and get a feel for the used assets. Clearly, with regard to the disbanding of the fourth period of enlistment and the implementation of the compulsory military service system from 1891, the relevant evaluations, credits, rewards, etc. of the corps in the later period can be carried out. Arrange the writing of these related matters, every time A convention will be formed at the beginning of the year and the end of the year..."

Li Fushou paced back and forth, talking about wherever he thought of, talking endlessly for more than ten minutes. Deputy Director Li Sixian wrote the record of Dragon and Snake, for fear of missing the key order, even talking. It's too late to say.

   "Oh... by the way, let Duan Qirui report on the war in the south and the aftermath."

   "I would like to follow your Majesty's orders. Do you have anything else to do?"

"No, let's do this for the time being. Your secretariat summarizes the opinions on the administrative adjustment plan, and discusses it as soon as possible, and strives to finalize it in the past two months. There are also merits and awards, and the matter of knighthood, according to me. The proposed framework comes out with a proper solution. Many people are already impatient and keep turning in front of my eyes."

  "The ministers and other officials will follow your majesty's will, and you must proceed as soon as possible."

  Nowadays, whether it is the Secretariat or the Emergency War Committee, there is too much work every day. At the beginning of the kingdom, the original nine divisions system is no longer in order and urgently needs to be upgraded and reset. This is the current top priority.

  Secondly, as the Civil War draws to a close, the issue of knighthood will also be brought up on the agenda. Many people are watching it eagerly. Don’t let the meritorious ministers feel cold!

  Li Fushou accepted the title of "King of Qin", he is the lord of a country, and his full name will be;

His Majesty the King of Oceanic Kingdoms, Monarchs of Borneo, Somalia and Mozambique, Guardians of Overseas Chinese Interests, King Qin, Duke of Shangri-La, Earl of Queensland, Lords of the Sulawesi Trust, Lords of Hawaii and Saipan, Protectors of the Kingdom of Lanfang .

Although the Manchu and Fusang kingdoms have not yet formally expressed their positions, the Ocean Kingdom has been widely recognized by the European and American international communities. The kingship rule is legal and orthodox. King Li Fushou has the right to grant noble titles on a large scale, so this matter has been brought up. The agenda.

  According to Li Fushou’s entrusted aristocracy framework, there are ten earls, thirty-six viscounts, and 108 barons. As for the barons and knights, they are not included in the aristocratic confession of the kingdom’s first establishment.

Many anxious people have begun to search for famous names to design exclusive noble badges. They only wait for the title to be awarded, and then go to the Royal Noble House Subordinate Badge Committee to apply for filing. After passing, they can put exclusive noble badges on family houses, carriages, cars, and clothing. Highlight the extraordinary status.

  It is understandable that all people have a utilitarian heart.

Not long after Li Sixian, deputy director of the Secretariat, left, the new royal attendant and military attache, Colonel Duan Qirui, came with the information in his hand. After waiting for a while outside the Xianju Hall, he followed the royal secretary into the Xianju Hall, affectionately and respectfully. Bow down and salute; "Your Majesty is auspicious, and the attendant military attache Duan Qirui, see Your Majesty."

   "Oh, Qi Rui is here, let's sit next to him for a while." Li Fushou looked up, casually ordered, and then continued to correct the documents in his hand.

   "Thank you for your seat."

Duan Qirui found a brocade stool on the side and sat down carefully. He only made 1/3 of his butt. His upper body was straight like a green pine, and he leaned forward slightly. If you don’t know how this posture is, then look at Primary School One. Grade students will know.

   more than 10 minutes later

  Li Fushou dropped the pen in his hand and pinched his eyebrows and said;

"Your Majesty has every opportunity to create a dream paradise for overseas Chinese in Australia. This is an immortal achievement. Chinese people in Australia and overseas territories are blessed. I admire the five inner nations, but the ministers and others have the heart but are unable to share in the event. I am truly ashamed. ."

   "Qi Rui was too modest to say this, but your brothers performed well in this North-South battle, which really won my heart."

   "Your Majesty's lesson, Qi Rui is not too modest, but from the heart and feels weak." Duan Qirui respectfully said with a serious face;

  "Before entering the palace as an attendant and military attache, the minister believed that he was remarkable in military command, and he had outperformed many bureaucrats in the same period.

However, what you see and hear after entering the palace are major international and domestic events, which are related to the trend of the world, involving politics, economy, military, finance, people's livelihood, law, education, colonial construction and many other things. There are often documents in English, French, and German. , 9 out of 10 things don’t understand.

Qi Rui realized that he was a frog at the bottom of the well, and his arrogant behavior in the past was truly generous.

   Your Majesty sits at the center and points to the situation, bringing together the destiny of tens of thousands of people, and he is the most important weapon in the country.

  The ministers sincerely admire it, and the mountains will stand up!

  Every sentence and every word that Qi Rui said is from the bottom of his heart. I only wish to keep the tail forever and do some trivial things for my Chinese compatriots. This life is enough! "

   After finishing speaking, Duan Qirui stood up and fell to the ground with a respectful gesture.

It’s comfortable to get along with smart people. Li Fushou accepted his admiration frankly, and said with a gentle expression from the corner of his eyes; Teacher German, you can see that you are motivated, which is very good.

  You have worked by my side for a few years, and if you have more exposure to macro affairs, you will have a broader perspective and perspective on the problem, and you will not limit the gains and losses of one city or one place.

If you have the opportunity in the future, go to European and American countries to take a look, take a field trip to modern warfare, and think deeply about the relationship between social development and war. Don’t limit your vision to the military field, but pay more attention to people’s livelihood and socio-economic development. To make progress. "

  "The disciple has been taught, he will definitely take the entrustment of his majesty as the motto of life, and practice it personally." Duan Qirui respectfully squatted on the ground. This is the gift of apprenticeship, and he will be a disciple in the future.

Li Fushou didn't mean to refuse. In fact, the secretaries who walked out from him can be counted as students. Although they have no teacher and student status, they can all be regarded as Li Fushou personally. Political elites cultivated.

  It's like natural top-quality ingredients, and a little stew is delicious.

  Li Fushou's control over the army is particularly deep, because the grassroots officers of the Young Eagle School have full control of the army, so his influence can penetrate into the company and platoon officers and even ordinary soldiers. This is the lofty prestige unique to the founding king.

  This time, the establishment of the Royal Attaché’s Office is an important measure for in-depth training of high-ranking military officers, and it is also one of the necessary measures for comprehensive control of the military.

  The first important task received by the Attaché’s Office is to prepare for the full rotation of senior officers in the entire army and formulate a regular rotation system.

  For example, Major General Fritz, the commander of the Shangri-La division, has served in the division for nearly 10 years. In this rotation of senior officers, he will be transferred to the Whampoa Infantry Academy to serve as the vice-principal.

There are also four veteran cavalry divisions of dragons, tigers, leopards, and wolves, as well as combat units such as the Kalimantan First Division, Second Division, and the African Expeditionary Regiment. Officers above the regiment must be rotated and transferred, or enter the Army Staff Headquarters, or enter Huangpu Infantry Academy, or transfer to a new unit, while enriching the job experience, weaken the personal influence on the unit.

  The "soldier for the future" is not feasible in the Ocean Kingdom. All officers and soldiers of the army can only be loyal to the kingdom and loyal to His Majesty the King.

  Beginning in 1891, the Ocean Kingdom changed from a recruiting system to a national conscript system. With the exception of professional officers and sergeants, all ordinary soldiers were recruited under the compulsory system. The service period was three years, and they were automatically retired after the service period.

  Simply explain a few words

  Li Fushou drew back to the topic and asked, "What happened to the fighting in the south, please report it specifically?"

   Before coming, Duan Qirui did a lot of homework, and all the content is in his heart, so there is no need to open the folder in his hand and speak smoothly;

  "Return to your Majesty’s words;

  The Southern War and the follow-up arrangements are divided into four major areas. The first major area is the New South Wales (including Sydney) war and subsequent security operations.

  The second largest area is the war in Victoria (including Melbourne, excluding Ballarat) and subsequent security operations.

  The third block is the ongoing Ballarat strangulation.

  The fourth block is the overall arrangement for the entry of comprehensive military control in the southern states after the war.

Now I report on the first major post-war issue. After the **** battle in Sydney, the Emergency Wartime Committee conducted a detailed social survey of New South Wales (the area south of Beilun City) and found that there are 177,300 white people in the area. Among them, young women accounted for 70%, children accounted for 20%, and adult men accounted for 10%.

The A Corps cooperated with the security operations carried out by the local authorities after the war and repeatedly sorted out the state of New South Wales. There were more than 1,700 white farmers, mine owners, and plantation owners suspected of supporting the rebellion in various ways and occupying the population of this category. 92% are expected to receive a fair trial of justice, and related work is in-depth.

The situation in New South Wales is preliminarily determined. The A Corps has 27,900 disabled soldiers retired in advance, and the merits and rewards are placed in New South Wales. Um... It is planned to provide each disabled soldier with a white woman to take care of his life. This is premised on voluntariness.

  This can not only solve the problem of the follow-up life of white young women, on the other hand, it is also a reward for meritorious soldiers and proper placement of future lives.

Because there were many seizures in the subsequent security operations, each disabled soldier is expected to receive 27 pounds 17 shillings in cash compensation, plus the service period military salary and combat subsidies, the average per capita can reach the level of 41 pounds 3 shillings 7 pence. The meritorious field can reach an average of 26.3 acres, which is enough to maintain a medium-scale plantation or small-scale ranch.

Besides

Huitong Bank and Shangri-La Bank also provide preferential loans for retired disabled soldiers. The per capita amount is between 30 and 50 pounds. They are mainly used to help purchase production materials, build houses, and purchase herds and fields to ensure disabled soldiers. Life after retirement.

  In terms of the land purchase policy, the Emergency Wartime Committee also gave a preferential policy. Disabled soldiers can purchase no more than 20 acres of land at a preferential price, and the excess is calculated at market value.

The other soldiers of the A Corps are currently in service, and it is expected that they will not encounter a large-scale reversion within two years. Their merit evaluation will follow the soldiers’ personal files. After retirement, the main distribution destination is also in the southern state. Some of the officers and soldiers are about 140,000, mainly arranged in the territory of New South Wales.

At present, the law and order in New South Wales is stable, the society is calm, the work of retiring disabled and demobilized soldiers is carried out smoothly, and the people are calm. The southern extension of the coastal railway project is accelerating. It is only 44 kilometers away from the border of Victoria. It is expected to be four It will be repaired after a month.

As the state of New South Wales that has suffered more trauma after the war, it implements full military control according to the instructions of His Majesty. It is strictly forbidden for ordinary residents to cross the Beilun front line, and for immigrants to enter the state at will. Subsequent immigration work will proceed in an orderly manner according to the instructions of Shangfeng. It is preferred to be loyal The Chinese immigrant group in the Kingdom to create a long-lasting social environment in the southern state. "

  As for the post-war arrangements in New South Wales, Li Fushou was generally satisfied. Basically, he implemented it in full according to the deployment, and the effect was quite good.

The 27,900 disabled soldiers of the A Corps cannot continue to serve. These soldiers who have experienced **** battles are loyal fighters. They are given generous conditions to be placed in the territory of New South Wales, which can create a large number of small and medium landlords who are committed to supporting the rule of the kingdom. The pillar group of social stability.

  Whether it is a rancher or a plantation owner, they are conservative in their thinking for their own interests, and they are staunch supporters of the kingdom's rule. The benefits are self-evident.

New South Wales has experienced several large-scale blood wars in less than half a year. The size of the white population has dropped from over 600,000 to 177,300. The white men are almost dead, and most of the rest are young. Women, being alone is really awe-inspiring!

  For ordinary people, war is undoubtedly a huge tragedy.

  For example, why so many people died in the war, whether there was indiscriminate killing or targeted... ahem, no one can tell this stuff, and there is no idle time to investigate it, since peace is there, let's live it!

  The whites in New South Wales have died. The vast pastures and towns are basically empty, which is very conducive to the placement of disabled soldiers. There is no resistance to the implementation of the resettlement work, and everything goes smoothly.

  As the Chinese who survived the war, they will undoubtedly spend all their money on buying land, and they will definitely use the preferential policies. Even if they don’t do this, the policy propaganda will encourage them to do so.

  This is derived from the infinite love of the land deep in the hearts of the Chinese, and it will not weaken half a point wherever they go.
