I understand that controlling the pay of staff from a single point, i.e, bursars office will make corruption harder but how would exposure to higher authority lessen corruption?
So to summarize, it was practiced in northern China and there are sources of it. Also the information that i received might be skewed in some way or the other. Also the north-south divide also played a role. Can one of the reasons be because the north was closer to the nomadic horsemen with bows...
I just wanted to know if people supported this during the time period? I have heard women practiced archery but the people were very conservative especially the Ming and Qing dynasty period so I was quite surprised when Xian allowed archery for the women.
I'm still trying to understand the fact that a foreign company governs a province. How does the central government view them? Did the cadre just find a Chinese man to be a governor in name? How are the people in their territory view them?
How are the cadre finding that many people to fill up the ranks of their organisations? I mean western educated Chinese don't grow on trees during those era. How well educated are their Chinese officers? Also how are they dealing with the landlords? If I remember correctly in every mainland...
So how will Xian be treated? Is he treated like a fellow warlord or that guy who knows where to get things and provides you for a reasonable price?
Also will he reunite China? Also wondering what the kuomintang think of him as well as the other players like Japan, Britain,France,etc.
Pax just wanted to ask how his American comrades and especially his father think of him having two women with him? What do they think? Do they have the 20th century mentality or are they open minded?
Will Xian be asking for German modernization after the war? Cause I think that the machines as well as the technicians will be dirt cheap cause they lost the war, he could also ask for German instructors as well as some General staff officers. Those soldiers got nothing to do but cause trouble...
The more i read the more I think of"Arasaka" from Cyberpunk. A corporation that is it's own country. Will Allen"s Cadre become a Mega corporation or a country?
I beleive there was that Japanese(or Far East) familia. The one that helped Hestia. His name was Takemikazuchi. Although a gigolo he seems like a nice guy. He could try that familia. And if he asks about the MC's secret i believe he can keep it.
Thanks for the info. I just can't imagine that the emperor would tolerate that. I mean soldiers not under the control of the central government means high chance of civil war. I mean did the government allowed that? Also militia under the command of the gentries isn't this a recipe for disaster...
Thanks for the info. And apologies for my too many questions, it's not necessary to answer them right away so take your time.
Also the Cultivation part, in the Wikipedia page the Chinese people thought Gordon could harness Qi because he seemed invincible and impervious to bullets. Which I kid...
Also what are his soldiers salaries?
And what is the dividends received by the shareholders?
Also did the Qing gave him the power to legally create a judiciary as well as a civi service? I can't just imagine it.
Will the Chinese people under him respect his rule or his government?
(My...
What are the Chinese opinions of him? You said northern China looked to him like Charles Gordon, so a liberator? Or one of those Chinese cultivators of Qi in those crappy(no offense) Chinese novels.
