The legendary bourgeois revolution has actually happened!

From Tianjin City to the establishment of the Youzhou Republican Government, to the defeat of hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops, seized thousands of fertile land in western Liaodong, and formally established a republic. At that time, this process seemed to be an incident of warlords' rebellion and separatist tycoons.

Perhaps it marked the complete failure of Zhao Ji's re-use of the Wuchen route, and perhaps some people might think that the Zhou Kingdom established by Wu Haogu was strange inside and outside.

He could have been the emperor, but he had just set up a republic. Moreover, this country was still "samurai and tyrant merchants to share the world". Not only did he not have an emperor, but he also had no traditional Confucian scholars and officials. The whole country was a fatherless country without a ruler...

However, such a country without a father or a king is managed in a very meticulous manner. The country has not yet been opened, and a lot of things have been formulated, such as the Constitution, Civil Law, Criminal Law, Official Law (specially regulating government behavior and the appointment and removal of officials), the Citizen Law, the Parliament Law, etc.

These laws were discussed by the elders of Youzhou and great scholars from all over the country, and then carefully formulated by law experts in the Yuntai Bachelor's School.

Moreover, these laws did not come out of thin air, but had fifteen years of republic practice, and also summarized the gains and losses of the rule of law in the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years. The first generation of professors at Yuntai Academy of Law School were all from Kaifeng’s great lawyers, probably one of the people who know the most about the legal system of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the laws of these republics are not only rigorous and meticulous, but also relatively easy to enforce.

If you manage carefully, there are pros and cons. I won’t talk about the advantages and disadvantages, but the disadvantages are that you can easily follow the path of small countries and few people. With the governance methods of the Zhou State, a middle-class country with thousands of miles of land and millions of households may be able to manage well.

However, if it is to be promoted to the whole world, the management cost is too high, and the local governments have too much power, which can easily lead to local separatism.

Therefore, Wu Haowen, Yang Shi, Hou Zhongliang and others regarded the detailed and detailed management of Zhou State as a manifestation of no ambition.

Maybe Wu Haogu wanted to build a small country that was more peaceful and did not want to seize the Song Dynasty.

The autumn wind is bleak, and people are on the journey.

Wu Haogu rode a Tianjin horse on the way to Yan land west. In front of him, there were hundreds of four-wheeled carriages and scholars on horseback, veterans and followers, who were the cavalry of the brigade.

His trip to Liaodong has finally ended and he is now on his way back to Yandi.

There were tens of thousands of people who accompanied him, including Wu Haogu's family, and there were also veterans who gathered in Liaoyang Prefecture, the great Confucians of the Southern Dynasty who followed Wu Haogu back to Yan land, of course, there were Wu Haowen who had become princes, the officers and soldiers of the newly established First Republic Cavalry Division, and a team of yellow-headed Jurchen mercenaries.

The name of the First Cavalry Division of the Zhou Kingdom sounds very modern. In fact, in the "Book of Zhou", there are military organization names such as army, division, and brigade.

So when the Youzhou Republic Army was reorganized into the Zhou Republic Army, Wu Haogu simply introduced the organizational units of the army, division and brigade. However, he did not set up a regiment below the brigade, but directly it was a battalion. The following camp was a team, the following team was a platoon, and what was the following brigade?

The army is not a permanent unit, but the name of the command organization on the battlefield.

In addition, the organization of cavalry and infantry is also different. The cavalry does not have a brigade-level organization. The battalion is below the division, and there are six battalions below the cavalry division. Five of them are combat battalions and one is command battalion.

The command battalion has 1,000 personnel (each half of the main soldiers and half of the auxiliary soldiers), including guards, baggage teams, scout teams, command teams, artillery teams and other units.

The combat battalion is large, with more than 1,800 people! There are also five teams, four cavalry teams and one command team below.

The cavalry team has a 400-person team, and they are also the chief and half of the auxiliary team. The command team has only 200 people, and half of them are auxiliary soldiers.

There are four platoons under the cavalry team, each of which is fifty cavalry and fifty auxiliary cavalry, which just forms a wall-type assault unit.

The cavalry unit's battalions, teams and scheduling are so large that it is not only related to the optimal wall assault formation size, but also to the number of auxiliary soldiers. Because the cavalry that forms a cavalry division (there are three in total) are armored cavalry, they must be assigned to auxiliary soldiers in a one-to-one ratio before they can fight.

Therefore, a row of fifty cavalry must be matched with fifty auxiliary cavalry, and the size of the troops will become larger.

It is also for this reason that after researching the General Army Command and the Military Office took down the brigades under the Cavalry Division and turned into the 1st Division with a total of 10,000 people in full.

Of course, this method of marshalling the 1st Division and the Sixth Battalion is also suitable for the current battlefield needs.

Because the armored cavalry's fighting style is simple, it is to attack in a line, so a division headquarters is enough to command five combat battalions. Moreover, they either fight major battles based on divisions or dismantle them into battalions and are classified as infantry divisions. In most cases, a cavalry division will be transferred to the cavalry battalion. If a cavalry brigade is set up, there will be an embarrassing situation where one brigade is in charge of one battalion or even no subordinate combat units, so there will be no brigades.

Compared with cavalry, infantry has been replaced by baggage troops because the auxiliary troops have been abolished (the organization is a regular soldier and can also undertake combat tasks), so the army organization is smaller.

Basically, there are two brigades in the first division, four battalions in one brigade, four battalions in one battalion, and four teams in one battalion, plus baggage, engineers, artillery, and cavalry.

A standard infantry team consists of 4 40-man infantry platoons, and a battalion has 4 infantry teams and 1 command team, all of which are 160-man organization, including one command platoon and three baggage platoons. The total force of the first battalion is 800 people.

In addition to 4 infantry battalions, an infantry brigade usually has a baggage battalion, a command team, a cavalry platoon, and an engineer team, with about 4,400 people.

At the level of the division, in addition to two infantry brigades, there will also be a battalion of baggage, engineers, artillery, and cavalry, and a command team (200 personnel organization), with a total of 13,200 people.

According to the plan, after the reorganization is completed, the Republican Army will have 18 divisions, including 16 infantry divisions and 2 cavalry divisions. With all the full units, the field force can reach more than 231,200 people.

It's unprecedentedly powerful!

In addition to the field forces of the 18th Division, the Zhou army will also have a navy with a population of more than 20,000, as well as the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Military Control Commission, the Military Academy Directorate and other agencies, and there will also be 20 provincial defense commanders. The total number is as high as 270,000!

Moreover, this does not include Ma Zhi's "Border Mansion Army" and Guo Yaoshi's "Every-winning Army", as well as the yellow-headed mercenaries composed of the Jurchens of the Hosu Pavilion.

Such a huge army is certainly impossible to be full at any time. Therefore, the army of Zhou State adopted a combination of standing officers, mansion soldiers, and knights serving.

The 18 divisions are always in place, but there are only 4 and a half divisions (half cavalry divisions) in total.

If the Zhou State's military mobilization system can perform normally in the future, it will be almost close to the military mobilization capabilities of modern capitalist military powers!

With such military mobilization capabilities, I think that when Genghis Khan rises to the grassland, he will be hit by the Zhou army and he will be bleeding from the head when he is in the grassland.

A country that can establish and maintain a modern military mobilization system cannot be a feudal or feudal bureaucratic country, but can only be a capitalist country that has passed the threshold of capitalism!

Wu Haogu, who was on the way west, knew that what he had just completed was a bourgeois revolution!

Although the feudal remnants maintained by the Zhou State were still very much similar to the aristocratic system.

But there is no doubt that the economic foundation of Zhou State was capitalist industry and commerce, semi-capitalist and semi-feudal agriculture.

And the one who occupies a leading position in this country is undoubtedly the bourgeoisie in Tianjin.

Wu Haogu himself is the leader of the Tianjin bourgeoisie, and the capital of the country is also located in the bourgeoisie base camp of Tianjin.

As the fundamental law of the country, the Constitution is undoubtedly a protection of the interests of the bourgeoisie.

Even the "Six-level citizenship system" with a strong feudal meaning is quite beneficial to the bourgeoisie.

Merchants can maintain and improve their rank by paying taxes and donations, and bourgeois intellectuals can become citizens and obtain public office by studying. The navy, which is one with the bourgeoisie, has obtained citizenship like the army.

Therefore, among the hundreds of thousands of citizens of the Zhou State, the number of bourgeoisie was also very large. Even the soldiers and knights who depended on the land, the way they operated the land was more similar to capitalist farms. They operated the land for money, not for a self-sufficient small farm home.

In addition, a capitalist financial system is also in the process of gradual improvement.

After Wu Haogu returned to Tianjin, he convened a political consultation meeting between the Senate and all walks of life, and announced the establishment of the Zhou State. After the new Zhou State Senate was elected, the Bank Law will be the first law to be passed.

Tianjin Bank will be split into Republic Bank and Tianjin Bank. The former will become a central bank with the right to mint the latter, and the latter will become a pure commercial bank.

Gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins will replace copper coins and silk, and become the legal currency of the Zhou Dynasty.

With Republican Bank as the core, a financial system that can turn "dead money" into "living money" will also be fully formed.

Moreover, since most of the land in Zhou State belongs to the government soldiers and knight farms that cannot be bought and sold, commercial capital cannot rely on hoarding land to preserve its value. They can only continue to invest in rapid growth of industrial and commercial activities.

Compared with the size of Zhou, markets or colonies such as the Song Dynasty, Japan, Goryeo, Daliao, Dajin, Annan, and Nanyang were already huge enough. They were enough to allow the Zhou Dynasty to completely cross the threshold of capitalism economically and even reach the level on the eve of the first industrial revolution...
