Chapter 2798

All the help provided by the Northern Region to Prince De's Mansion is to save Haihan from unnecessary troubles in the process of changing dynasties.If the cooperation attitude of the Ming court changes, then the Prince De's Mansion, supported by Haihan, may also be promoted from a vassal king to the spokesperson of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course Ming Ting was not a fool, he must have been aware of such a risk, so he tried every means to suppress the Prince De's Mansion, and even used the method of cutting the vassal to make the Prince De's Mansion lose its use value.

However, Chen Yixin has invested a lot of resources in this plan, so he is not willing to give up easily. If the Ming court adopts tough measures, then he will probably instruct De Wangfu to go further and stand on the stage to confront the Ming court.

Of course, if that step is reached, the confrontation between the two countries may lead to tension in the northern region again, and there may even be a risk of military conflict.

Naturally, the executive committee has long been aware of this risk, and Bex continued to ask: "If the conflict escalates, does the northern region have any corresponding plans?"

"You mean another outbreak of war?" Chen Yixin responded: "From what we know, it is unlikely that the Ming court will take the initiative to start a war. The traditional grain-producing areas in Shandong have not had good harvests in the past few years. In Shandong, only Dengzhou is in better condition. There is no money or food, and there is no way to fight a big battle, unless the Ming court finds a way to transfer food from other provinces."

"Shandong Metropolitan Commander Division originally had eighteen guards under its jurisdiction, but now the Weihai Guard, Chengshan Guard, Jinghai Guard, Dasong Guard, Bieshan Guard, Lingshan Guard and other coastal guards located in Denglai have all existed in name only. The Shandong Navy has even canceled its establishment."

"Besides, we have eyeliners all over Shandong. Once there is an army marching across the prefecture and the government, we will definitely receive the news immediately. If the Ming army attacked from land, most likely they would not even be able to enter Dengzhou. He was stopped in Laizhou."

"The security risk we face is mainly the public security issue in the former Ming ruled area. The further inland the area is, the less friendly it is to us. Armed forces must be stationed in order to achieve complete takeover."

Bai Kesi said: "You just have to be prepared for these situations. The most urgent thing is to speed up the process of taking over the Ming court's control area."

Chen Yixin smiled wryly and said, "I want to go fast too, but the place is so big and there are not enough people. Moreover, the social situation in many places is complicated. Both the bureaucrats and the people are still very resistant to the change of dynasty. It's not that we just randomly send a few officials. The handover can be completed smoothly in the past.”

It has been more than a year since Daming asked Haihan to surrender. According to the plan agreed by the two parties, Haihan will gradually complete the acceptance of the territory of Daming in a peaceful manner under the premise of ensuring that the Ming royal family and bureaucrats continue to enjoy the current treatment.

However, the implementation process of the relevant agreements will not be smooth sailing. Even without the obvious military resistance, if Haihan wants to take over such a vast territory, there is still a lot of time-consuming and labor-intensive work to be done.

Regardless of whether it is administrative officials or military forces, the holdings of the northern region are far from reaching the level that can successfully take over the northern territory of Ming Dynasty, and this gap will not be filled in a short time.

In the past year, the Shandong region has only completed the reception of the entire area of ​​Dengzhou and Laizhou, as well as some coastal areas of Qingzhou and Jinan, and the area that has been taken over is even less than one-third of the entire Shandong.

Even so, in the areas that Haihan has taken over, there are still many places that continue to retain the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty intact, but the administrative management power and taxes are collected in written form by the Shandong Chief Envoy. The power was transferred to Hai Han.However, the actual situation is that these regions have not fully implemented Haihan's decree, and some regions even do not recognize the transitional agreement signed by the chief envoy and Haihan.

Chen Yixin counted for Beks with his fingers: "Taking a county as an example, to complete the takeover and bring it under control, at least a management team of 15 to [-] people and a garrison of two to three companies are needed. To carry out the promotion of agricultural planting projects, or mineral development, it is necessary to invest in relevant technical personnel. And with so many people stationed abroad, we have to provide corresponding logistical support, so it is difficult to speed up the progress."

Beks waved his hand and said, "You don't need to list the difficulties you have encountered. I understand all of these. Rules are dead, but people are alive. The executive committee just wants to know if you have a better solution."

Chen Yixin saw that Bai Kesi spoke bluntly, so he stopped complaining immediately, and said in a deep voice: "The fastest way, of course, is to impose military control on the receiving area, and implement it completely in accordance with the standards of military-occupied areas. There is no need to think about it for the time being. For issues such as people's livelihood and development, we only need to send troops to maintain order in the core area and ensure that the area is under our direct rule."

Beks nodded and said, "Isn't that why you suggested expanding the army?"

Chen Yixin said: "With the size of the existing armed forces in the northern region, although self-protection is safe, it is far from achieving the goals set by the executive committee. I think that only after the expansion of the army can the northern region have enough troops to complete the deployment." Sending and stationing missions. In the next few years, we will digest a large area of ​​inland areas, and we must also have enough troops as a security guarantee."

For the executive committee, it is difficult to have a specific implementation standard for the size of the armed forces retained by overseas regions. If the scale of this type of local army is too large, it will not only increase military expenditures, but also make it difficult for the executive committee to control these armed forces far from the center of power.

Bai Kesi did not comment on Chen Yixin's statement, but responded calmly: "You first come up with a specific military expansion plan and report it to the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense. How much will be increased and what kind of support will be provided by the state? How to arrange the training plan, write all the details clearly, and let everyone know what the northern region plans to do and how to do it. As long as it is a reasonable suggestion, the country will definitely support it.”

"The plan has been in the works for a long time. We can't wait for you to come to the north. Some details can only be determined after the interview." Chen Yixin said: "Without the approval of your ordnance department, Lao Bai, then it will be considered as the signing of the executive committee and the Ministry of National Defense." It won't work even if you write words!"

The combat effectiveness of the Haihan Army is based on advanced weapons and equipment. Whether the ordnance system supports it is directly related to the feasibility of the military expansion plan.Chen Yixin was well aware of the stakes involved, so he didn't hide it, so he said it in front of Beks.
