Macro, regulation.

These words always seem a bit arrogant, but for the emperor, this is an indispensable skill. When an emperor, you must never always focus on the small things but be petty. As an emperor, you should look at the long-term.

Zhang Chao has basically handed over the daily government affairs of the Great Hua Empire to the cabinet. With the Hanlin Academy looking at the cabinet, there is no need to worry about any problems with the cabinet.

Zhang Chao is the kind of person who advocates hard work and likes management.

Dahua's cabinet and Hanlin Academy are all well-used, and their work is very reliable, which makes Zhang Chao let go with confidence. Ma Zhou, Fang Xuanling, Ju Suiliang, Cen Wenben and others are becoming more and more calm.

They can always understand the emperor's intentions well, understand his intentions, and reach a tacit understanding with him well, and the cooperation between the monarch and ministers of Daxing has always been very good.

During the morning court.

Zhang Chao sat on the dragon throne above the Danban, and Senate Speaker Wei Zheng took the lead and reported to the Supreme Court for the proposal of a militia bill.

The morning court is open every day, but the time is already arranged in the morning. It is no longer the past when the morning court is in the morning. Every day, when sleeping until dawn, Zhang Chao can spend half an hour to exercise, take a shower, and read the newspaper while having breakfast, and then go to court leisurely.

This is the best time for him to be in the day.

Wei Zheng's report was also very concise. Legislation was the responsibility of their House of Commons, especially since the matter itself was the emperor's intention, he was just reporting on the progress now.

For example, the Upper House has begun to establish a legislative committee, which experts, scholars, military representatives have been invited, and senior senators have been arranged.

Everything was in order, Zhang Chao nodded while listening.

After Wang Chengen's death, the eunuch had changed his eunuch. The new eunuch was not a eunuch, but a civil servant, while the eunuch in the palace was the junior supervisor of the eunuch.

This young jailer has been in the palace for many years, but his position was not high in the past, but he had sufficient qualifications, especially his ability to do business, so he has no bad record.

Zhang Chao used him out of order, served as the post of Shaoguan, and became the new chief of the palace. This eunuch named Li Chaoen was very responsible.

Standing next to him, he looked at the less tea in front of Zhang Chao, and came over to fill it up.

Zhang Chao took a sip and said to Wei Zheng who had already reported it, "Before the end of the year, I hope the draft can be taken out."

"I will do it as soon as possible."

"Yes." Zhang Chao nodded, put down the teacup, and thought for a while before saying, "Parliament will take time to summon people and draw up another colonial bill."

Dafa is now promoting comprehensive overseas colonization and relaxing the conditions for colonization. Give companies that are willing to explore overseas and let them colonize.

However, colonization involves all aspects, and the court also needs to have a special bill in this regard to guide it.

"OK."

Wei Zheng was already used to the various requests that the emperor always made suddenly. Although the emperor sometimes made some important requests inadvertently, these requests were not random.

Instead, these requirements are always timely.

The routine morning court ended, and today's morning court was still controlled within half an hour.

Lee Chaoen dragged his long tone and shouted to retreat to the court, and all the officials saluted.

Zhang Chao stood up and said to Li Chaoen, "I'll ask the Privy Councilor, Minister of War, and General of the Three Yas to come to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters."

Lee Chaoen nodded without hesitation.

This is also what Zhang Chao is very satisfied with Li Chaoen. He doesn’t have much ambitions and won’t care too much about things he shouldn’t care about.

Imperial study room.

Zhang Chao changed into a light dragon robe and just sat down. Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang, Li Xiuning, and Guo Xiaoke came over.

"Don't be polite and polite, everyone, this is not in the court. I'm summoning you to consult with you some things about the army."

Dahua claims to have 600,000 permanent troops, including three major yamen, Northern Yamen, Southern Yamen and Naval Yamen. However, in fact, Dahua's army has been expanding, mainly the navy.

Originally, the four major naval fleets had 80,000 troops. But now it is far more than 80,000. Dahua's navy has gone further and further away. Not only are it stationed fleets in the East China Sea, the South China Sea, but it is even the Xiaohai, the sea outside Heilongjiang, and even the North Pacific.

There are fleets in the Indian Ocean, in the Pacific Ocean, in the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Mediterranean Sea, and even in the Caspian Sea called the West Sea in the Tang Dynasty. There are also naval troops in Qinghai Lake, Lake Baikal and other places.

And along with these fleets, they are often equipped with a large number of land troops.

Under Dahua's current overseas strategy, more and more troops have been deployed outside the country.

"I am going to adjust the military deployment of Dahua. I plan to change the three commands of the South, North and Navy to the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The original Five Army Governor's Office is to change it to eight theater commands. In addition to the five theaters in the Central Plains, three theaters of the Pacific, Indian Ocean and Mediterranean will be established."

Adjusting the military is also to better adapt to the new situation and make the entire military command system smoother.

After the establishment of the Army Department, the North and South Yamen was renamed the Army Command. The North Yamen still had the Sixth Army of Emperor Guards and the Fourth Army of Emperor Guards. The ten troops were still under the jurisdiction of 200,000, and were responsible for garrisoning the Five Capitals. The number of units of the 16th Army of the South Yamen remained unchanged, and the garrison was still in various parts of the Central Plains under the jurisdiction of the court.

In addition, the number of naval forces will be expanded, and a new Marine Corps Command will be established.

The navy originally had four fleets, and Zhang Chao planned to add to twelve fleets, from the Heilongjiang fleet to the North Korean fleet, then to the Yellow Sea fleet, then 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.

There are twelve fleets, the size of a single fleet is not as large as before, each fleet of ten thousand people. A single fleet is only half the size of the past, but the entire navy has generally increased by 40,000 people.

In addition, the newly established Marine Corps will also dispatch troops overseas in Dahua. These Marine Corps are mainly partners with the Navy, mainly stationed in various overseas colonies, or overseas leading port fortresses in Dahua.

The Marine Corps has twelve divisions, each with 10,000 people, totaling 120,000 people.

Therefore, if Dahua completes this round of expansion, Dahua will have 520,000 troops, 120,000 navy, 120,000 Marines, and a total force of 760,000.

The increase of 160,000 troops is actually about 100,000 more than the existing troops.

Qin Qiong and others listened carefully to the emperor and asked, "Will there be too much expansion of 160,000 yuan on the original basis? Now the imperial court supports the 600,000 standing army, and the annual military expenditure exceeds 100 million yuan, accounting for more than 60% of Dahua's financial revenue. If so many troops are added, I am afraid that the military expenditure will increase a lot, especially the navy and the Marine Corps. They are mainly stationed overseas, so this expenditure is probably higher."

In traditional armies, cavalry spends more than infantry, but in fact the army is much less than the navy. A navy battleship can operate hundreds of thousands or millions of tillions, which is not comparable to that of the army.

Even though the cost of shipbuilding is declining now, the navy has basically completed ship equipment, and the addition of 40,000 new people is equivalent to adding half of the new ships at once, which is even higher.

"I have also considered the issue of military expenditure. The Navy now has 80,000 troops, with more than a dozen first-class warships and nearly a hundred second-class warships. This was something we had to equip. In the future, I don't have to build too many new ships for the time being. I will directly allocate the existing main warships to twelve fleets. If you match them, the ships are actually enough."

In the past four major fleets, there were actually sixteen squadrons, so more warships were built, and now they have been changed to twelve fleets. However, each fleet is larger than in the past, so there are more ships in the fleet.

Changing the fourth fleet into the twelfth fleet is also to give each fleet greater autonomy and avoid reporting one fleet at a time when encountering problems, so as not to delay the opportunity.

In fact, Dahua's warships have long proved that through naval battles, they have far surpassed other countries for several generations. Therefore, there is no need to build too many new ships, and they can also have enough deterrence.

The twelve fleets, accompanied by the Marine Corps of twelve divisions, allow Dahua’s military forces to be deployed everywhere, which is also the guarantee of Dahua’s maritime strategy.

Whether it is maritime trade or overseas colonization, with these overseas military forces, they can provide greater guarantees.

"I also support the deployment of overseas troops, but should I appropriately reduce the number of troops garrisons in the Central Plains? Is it a little too much for the Central Plains to maintain the 520,000 troops in the North and South China?" Su Dingfang asked.

He is now the Minister of War, responsible for the military and political system. As the youngest general of the military, he supports the military to go abroad, but now Dahua is developing abroad, and the Central Plains is very safe. If the Central Plains retain a strong standing military of 520,000, he thinks it is a waste.

Especially since the court is now going to issue a militia bill, the court will have 100 divisions of militias, with millions of militias, most of which are in various parts of the Central Plains.

The new militia will be more elite, more training, better ordnance, etc.

With such a strong militia, there is no need to retain so many standing troops in the Central Plains.

"What Dingfang said is also a problem. The Central Plains retained 520,000 troops from the North and South Yamen, which does seem to be a bit too much. If we only look at military needs, the Central Plains can actually reduce half of the troops. After all, now we are the only ones who go out to attack others, and others have no ability to attack us Zhongyuan."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chao paused, "But, some things cannot be just from a military perspective, we have to consider them from other aspects."

The other aspects Zhang Chao mentioned are actually not just a military perspective, but a political perspective. If the Central Plains reduce their troops, a situation will appear within the virtual world, and then the outside will be strong and the inside will be strong.
