Chapter 593 Set off to the ocean

In February of the 24th year of Huaxia, the snow outside Nan'an City began to melt, and the people had begun to prepare to leave the city and start their busy year.

There are few monsters in the Nanyue Mountains now, and Hua Mo only needs to lead the major legions to advance slowly and transform the terrain. To speed up the improvement of Huaxia's national strength, exploring overseas is the only way, because Huaxia has not been at war in recent years, and the number of wild beasts has decreased sharply. The pavilions and post stations have spread to many places north of the Yangtze River, and the Military Affairs Council has begun to reduce the number of troops.

The seven elite legions are tentatively set at 10,000 each, and the standing army of each county should be reduced to less than 10,000. The standing army of the county will be completely abolished, and the number of garrisons will be maintained at 1% of the city population.

The annual militia training is reduced to two weeks, so that Huaxia's military expenditure will be reduced by more than 70%, and they are also facing a large number of unemployed people.

The core members of the Hua family discussed and hoped that the army layoffs would be carried out slowly, but Hua Kai directly vetoed it.

Over the years, the county town pavilions have been able to eliminate all wild beasts in the jurisdiction area, and the defense system of Huaxia is already sufficient. Leaving so many people can only slow down the development of Huaxia. His main task thirteen must be completed. This cannot go on.

It is estimated that the number of troops to be laid off will reach about 1.1 million, and Hua Kai has already thought of a way to resettle all of them.

All those below the Tempering Body Realm will be resettled in the area south of the Yangtze River to open up farmland. The State Council can provide immigration support of 50 mu of good land for each soldier and 10 mu of good land for their family.

If they don't want to, they can receive a large allowance, and they can find other ways out. There are about 450,000 people in this part.

Those above the Kaiyuan Realm and below the Qi Training Realm can set up police stations in various urban areas to be responsible for urban security. This requires the State Council to preside over it. About 40,000 people can be resettled here.

In addition, new pavilions need to be built south of the Yangtze River. All the pavilions built before need to increase the number of defense personnel. After this cold weather is over, all the pavilion personnel must spend the winter outside the city, so that the village chiefs far away from the city can also be retained. This is a huge project, which requires about 500,000 people.

The remaining 100,000 people are the elites of the seven legions who have retired. Hua Kai plans to send them all to Ryukyu Island to develop Ryukyu Island and prepare for the future exploration of Lushun Islands of China.

Because the country is getting bigger and bigger, it is not as easy to manage as Gaoliu County at the beginning, so Hua Kai must try to let the five major courtyards continue to delegate power, summarize the best way, and let more capable people display their talents.

Lian Po came to Weiyang Palace, where Hua Kai was waiting for him. Lian Po's injury has been completely recovered after a winter, and he has also mastered the [Will of Fire]. The will has improved his physical fitness and strength by two points. Now he is already at the 6th level of the Golden Core Realm!

This White Tiger Killing Star Divine Power is really powerful, but it needs endless high-level elixir support. Handing a document to Hua Kai, Lian Po told Hua Kai about the layoffs in the Military Affairs Council this year.

"Layoffs do not mean cutting everything. The seven legions still have to exist as the pillars of China. We have decentralized the combat power to the Hetings and the City Police Stations. The management of each city has become the focus. The five major courts play a role of assistance, supervision and summary.

The entire Dongtu Shenzhou has an area of ​​more than 20 million square kilometers, with more than 100 cities, thousands of castles and pavilions, and there will be more in the future. The role of the country is not to control but to guide. We must move closer to this in the future.

Moreover, the country is also a power institution, used to maintain social order, protect social order, and let the entire country meet the interests of the majority." Hua Kai looked at the plan that Lian Po gave him, put it down and said to him.

Lian Po's approach is very simple. Since it has entered a peaceful era, the Military Affairs Council will hand over all rights to each county and let each county set its own resettlement plan. He did so in Zhao before.

Hua Kai's decentralization of the five major departments is not just letting them go. The five major departments and the royal family are still the two largest power departments in the country. They must fully control the development and changes of the entire country. Although they are about to enter a peaceful period, each academy must coordinate and manage all affairs of the entire country.

"Your Majesty, since we have already retired, it is no longer meaningful for the Military Affairs Academy to keep too many departments. As long as we leave the main generals, we can quickly raise a powerful army when needed. Otherwise, it will only increase the budget and consume the national economy." Lian Po said.

Most people in the entire continent may think so. There are many people in the major departments of the Military Affairs Academy. There are more than 20 departments such as the Equipment Department, Strategy Department, Military Intelligence Department, Logistics Department, Transportation Department, Four Types of Corps Management Department, Militia Management Department, Supervision Department, Military Merit Department, Statistics Department, etc. There is nothing they can do without war.

"Then do you think the Military Academy should continue?" Hua Kai asked.

"This..." Lian Po couldn't answer when he heard this. These departments are gone. Where will the students of the Military Academy go after graduation?

"The strategic direction of Huaxia will inevitably shift in the future, but I am not without enemies. The monsters on land have not been completely eliminated, and there are even more monsters in the sea. There are 9 recorded large states in the world. We still have many places to explore in the future, and there are too many enemies to face.

The Military Affairs Council should establish a strong military region according to demand, which mainly cultivates necessary talents for various departments. For example, the ocean is our biggest enemy now. Can the Military Affairs Council establish a force for maritime operations?

The five major departments of Huaxia can only move forward, not stop, and not go back. After you go down, call the whole army to discuss the following, how should the Military Affairs Council go in the future." Hua Kai said dissatisfiedly.

"It's my problem, I know what to do! I will definitely make the Military Affairs Council stronger and stronger, and be able to deal with any enemy when the country needs it." Lian Po said.

Hua Kai nodded, and when Lian Po left Chu Shang (the name of the King of Chu) to find Hua Kai, he told him that the preparations for going to Ryukyu Island were ready, and he was waiting for Hua Kai to set off.

The next day, Hua Kai rode [Di Lu Ma] and came to the city on the southernmost coast with Urentuya. This bay city was named Haitan City by Hua Kai. This city was built only ten miles away from the coast of the mainland. There were no big waves between the straits all year round, and no large sea beasts appeared, so it was very safe here.

There are many islands in the Haitan City area, and there are a lot of bird droppings here. In recent years, the bird droppings of Haitan City have become famous in China. The bird droppings here are most useful for cultivating spiritual fields.

On the island, Hua Kai saw that the houses here all had thick roofs, and the foundations of many houses were built very firmly. In addition, everyone built a basement underground in the house to avoid possible bird attacks.

There was not many boats stopping at a newly built dock, but there was a large shipyard next to it. Large ships over 30 meters long were being built there, and China's shipbuilding technology was also rapidly improving.

On February 24, the strong winds on the Ryukyu Strait were getting smaller and smaller. The wind season was about to pass, and more and more people began to come to Haitan City. Hua Kai released the [Tower Ship], and teams of soldiers began to take small boats from the dock to the tower ship. Today they were going to Ryukyu Island.

For this overseas expedition, Huaxia had been preparing for a long time. After killing the Golden Bull Monster, Hua Kai gave up the monster clearing of the Nanyue Mountains and handed everything over to Hua Mo, Lian Po and his fifth uncle Hua Zichen. They would continue the work of transforming the Nanyue Mountains.

Therefore, in addition to the [Undead Legion], there were also 27,000 elite soldiers retired from the Legion, hundreds of horses, some cattle and sheep, and thousands of craftsmen who went to Ryukyu Island with Hua Kai. It can be said that they were powerful.

Hua Kai waited for everyone to board the [Tower Ship] and drove towards the other side of the strait. The waves of more than ten meters high were not a threat to the tower ship that was more than 300 meters long and 30 meters high. Hua Kai could feel that there were sea beasts in the sea that were constantly attacking the bottom of the [Tower Ship], but these ordinary sea beasts did not pose any threat to the [Tower Ship].

In less than two hours, the [Tower Ship] arrived at the coast of Ryukyu Island. Hua Kai saw that Lingdu City had become much larger than four years ago. Countless ships were docked at the coast, and many shops in Lingdu City were doing a booming business. Seeing the [Tower Ship] coming, the two foundation-building realm people in charge of Lingdu City came to the coast with thousands of soldiers to greet them.

Five years ago, Hua Kai built Lingdu City here. When he left, he left 2,000 elite soldiers. When he came here again four years ago, he saw that everyone was living a comfortable life. Many people from Ryukyu Island had joined Lingdu City.

The population of Lingdu City is now over 10,000. It can only be regarded as a small city in the Central Plains, but it is the first city with a population of over 10,000 on Ryukyu Island.

Hua Kai saw that all the soldiers in the tower ship had boarded the boat, and his mission was completed.

After collecting the [Tower Ship], Hua Kai rode [Di Lu Ma] and came to Lingdu City side by side with Urentuya. Seeing the barracks that had been built here and the large area of ​​Chinese-style buildings, he affirmed the achievements of the two responsible persons in the past five years.

In the past few years, there have been few monsters on Ryukyu Island. Two thousand elite soldiers of Huaxia have been clearing out wild beasts on the entire Ryukyu Island for the past five years. The lives of the people here are much better than five years ago. Hua Kai saw many children under the age of four running freely on the streets in Lingdu City. Ryukyu Island is no longer the same as before.

Bai Chaosheng knew that Hua Kai had come again, and he led the important members of the Hundred Families to visit together. Seeing that more than 20,000 elite soldiers of Huaxia were going to stay on Ryukyu Island, Bai Chaosheng knew that Hua Kai's target must be Java, and the two thousand elite soldiers were enough to deal with the small Ryukyu Island.

Hua Kai asked everyone to establish the Administrative Council, Military Council, Collegial Council, and Maritime Council in Lingdu City. This was the beginning of the transformation of the Ryukyu Island system and the inclusion of Ryukyu Island into the territory of Huaxia.
