Zhang Chen is doing reform, and Huang Taiji is also doing reform.

It’s just that the two have different reform methods.

If Zhang Chen remembers correctly, the fourth year of Chongzhen, that is, the fifth year of Huang Taiji's succession, Huang Taiji began to establish six ministries at the suggestion of Han Chen Ningwan.

In the past, the Eight Kings discussed politics within Jiannu, and the power was basically jointly led by the eight major belles, and they were managed by the "monthly" method.

Huang Taiji could directly manage his yellow flag. He also had the power to make decisions in major decisions, but he could not touch other Beile's people.

What administrative power, financial power, and military power are basically scattered.

Nurhaci was a reckless man who liked to engage in massacres. The trick he left behind could barely maintain the operation of a small regime in Liaodong.

Huang Taiji, who was very ambitious, focused on the system of the Central Plains dynasty, wanted to complete the centralization and take over the administrative power, financial and tax power, military power, judicial power, etc.

In this way, you will touch all Beller.

It happened that the Ji Si change was promoted by Huang Taiji, and at the beginning, Daishan and others opposed it.

With the success of the Jisi Change, Huang Taiji's status increased greatly. Dai Shan and others went from being dissatisfied with everything before to being speechless now.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Zhang Chen began a series of reforms within the Ming Dynasty to provide disaster relief in Shaanxi, while Huang Taiji began to weaken Beile's power in this year.

For example, punish Amin for the crime of massacre of the city, weaken Daishan's threat for the crime of unfavorable war, and suppress Duoduo.

After the establishment of the six ministries, they supported Dorgon and Jirgalang, two loyal to him.

By this year, the six divisions of Huang Taiji have basically been formed and stabilized.

In terms of the troops, the original Beile and the lord began to be controlled by the original Beile and lord, and gradually moved to the Ministry of War, who reported directly to Huang Taiji.

This is to gradually capture the power of recruiting troops, the power of transferring troops and the power of commanding troops into his own hands.

Not only that, Huang Taiji also proposed in Liaodong that "the key to governing the country is to calm the people first."

The people here are the Han people.

During the Nurhaci era, Nurhaci liked to carry out massacres, Liaodong was actually slavery, and the Han people were slaves to the Manchus.

In the Battle of Guangning alone, Nurhaci slaughtered more than 100,000 Han people in western Liaoning. In the Battle of Ningyuan, he slaughtered tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on Juehua Island in order to vent his anger.

These measures have greatly intensified the ethnic conflicts in Liaodong.

After Huang Taiji took office, he attached great importance to the Han people and began to support and win over the Han people. Although the core power was still controlled by Jiannu himself.

Not only that, Huang Taiji also swept over the surrendered Mongolian tribes and forced Mongolia to surrender by means of military suppression and pacification.

Just imagine, under this situation, Huang Taiji's prestige and power increased greatly, and then he would naturally be like a fish in water when he carried out military operations against the Ming Dynasty.

Just the mobilization ability of the military source has been greatly improved, and Huang Taiji himself has a stronger voice.

This is also one of the reasons why Jiannu was able to easily defeat the Ming army in the Battle of Daling River.

Zhang Chen summarized some things on rice paper:

The first stage: the stage of sticking to the border defense, and seeking stability is greater than anything else.

The second stage: In the reform stage, both parties are restructuring, it depends on who will change faster, more successful and more thoroughly.

In a sense, Huang Taiji's restructuring is much less difficult than Zhang Chen.

In the Ming Dynasty, the two capitals and thirteen provinces were too big, the bureaucrats, landlords and nobles were too big, and to completely reorganize, they had to rebuild and recreate the world.

The third stage: the accumulation stage, that is, the stage of multi-party layout and strategic siege of Jianshu.

For example, win over Mongolia in the south of the desert, stabilize Dalinghe City, the Navy recovered Lushun, and the Chongzhen Pi Island Front.

This is to launch the infantry, cavalry, navy, and three parties to lengthen the front line, and take the advantages of the strong resources of the Ming Dynasty as a way to make Huang Taiji fight on multiple fronts and finally collapse.

Zhang Chen’s main treatment of Huang Taiji was in these three stages.

And now it is still in the first stage, and border stability is greater than anything else.

Then the question is.

Since there are so many battles to fight this year, it will definitely require a lot of expenses.

In addition to the previous house searches, the house searches for the New Year, and the taxes on last year on the way, the total amount is only 10 million taels.

And how much does it cost to fight this year?

It's very simple to count.

First of all, how long this battle will take, which is related to the continuous investment of resources and manpower.

Take a possible intermediate value: one year.

Second, food and grass.

Before the soldiers moved, food and grass came first.

The Liaodong regular army now has more than 130,000, with 55,345 people inside and 78,340 people outside the pass.

The passes here include the Shanhaiguan Guards, Tianjin Wei, and Denglai, which are all under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Supervisor.

The main part outside the pass is the western Liaoning Corridor.

130,000 people, how much food and grass should be needed a year?

Even if a person eats 2 kilograms a day, he will cost 260,000 kilograms a day and 94.9 million kilograms a year, which is calculated based on 100 million kilograms.

Including the loss on the road, add 20 million jin, a total of 120 million jin, which is 1 million jin.

Yuan Chonghuan engaged in military farming outside the pass, which was equivalent to half of it. Chongzhen paid 500,000 shi, which was a total of 750,000 taels (about 490 million yuan) according to the price of grain during the war.

This is just the food rations of Guanning Army, the majority of which are pensions and bounties.

According to the 50% casualty rate outside the pass, 40,000 people died in Guanning Army. According to the latest rules of the Privy Council, each ordinary soldier will be given a pension of 100 taels, and the total pension will be 4 million taels.

If you win the battle, you will have a bounty, at least 2 million taels.

In addition, if Dalinghe City is destroyed in the war, it will be rebuilt, 300,000 taels will be needed?

Weapon wear does not count for the time being, because it has been invested.

After this, at least 7.05 million taels will be prepared.

This is the least, because once the war time is extended, various unpredictable factors will occur.

And this is just from Guanning Army.

What about the food transportation costs of the civilians?

What about 30,000 Beijing Guards?

The number of people who went to the Beijing Guards this time was half of that of the Guanning Army, and the half was converted first of all 3.5 million taels.

But it is definitely more than 3.5 million taels, because cannons, muskets, heavy armor, horses, spears, these are all brand new equipment.

So it counts to 4.5 million taels.

A total of at least 12 million taels must be prepared.

If we have to prepare for a year of tug-of-war and support Wan Danweizheng, it may be possible that Chongzhen will be defeated 20 million taels (at least 13 billion yuan) in this battle.

Chongzhen now has a total of 10 million taels in his account, which includes all the operating expenses of the court.

So, whether it is managing a company or managing a country, what is the most important thing?

Finance is the first priority!

Any strategic deployment depends on the financial bill.

People who do not read financial statements are not qualified to discuss strategies.

Now, Zhang Chen’s financial situation is obviously not enough to support him in the Battle of Dalinghe this year.

So, next he has an important task: scout the house!

Whose home should I copy?

Of course, it is the royal prince!

There is no way, I was forced too!
Chapter completed!
