Chapter 282: Tossing and Turning (Part 2)

"After the Duke entered Lianzhou, he also decided to Chenzhou; he eliminated the powerful, eliminated the accumulated problems, helped the poor, and promoted production; the local government was able to achieve great governance...

Mountain people and miners all think that they are kind and kind, and those who join the enemy will gain more and more talents.

After more than a year, because the officials in which they are located are very capable, they hear the appearance of the ridge...

Even though he has experienced many hardships, he is especially among the states."

"Old Records of Nanling".

.........

When Zhou Huaian set out to leave Guiyang City, the last batch of armed squads loaded with supplies and equipment had been dispatched to a relatively remote place. As the saying goes, military conquest is the beginning, but economic means are the follow-up.

Under the new order established by the Taiping Army regime, most of the miners and mountain villages directly organized outside the management no longer had to go through layers of pressing by the shed chiefs, supervisors, mine owners and others in the name of clans and townsmen. Instead, through the connection function of the new road, they can trade directly with the convoys sent by the Taiping Army regularly.

In addition to the ore quota given in accordance with the agreed proportion, the other income is handled by small groups in their own villages and villages, which can be said to be a realistic result of more mining and less mining; the leader of the group was elected once a year after the rebels notarized and presided over the next year. The election of those who occupy the majority is considered a primitive democratic autonomy.

In this way, the rebels who have mastered the main logistics and foreign material channels should play a seemingly fair arbitration role based on a suitable pricing and material supply category; and regularly deal with some breeding problems and group conflicts, and carry out gradual influence and transformation work.

Although it is also a means of exploitation, the method derived from capitalism is more hidden and more relaxed than the model in traditional feudal society; their situation is also a rare progress and improvement.

As Zhou Huaian's trial, it was a local food from Lianzhou. For example, pickled sour radish, garlic sprouts, beef and mutton, and cooked rice balls and glutinous rice cakes with rice paste. Others include sour sausage, pickled wax cabbage hearts, bean soaked beef hooves, etc., which are quite unique; it has added a little more energy bars in his vision.

On the way back, Zhou Huaian also received several other important news.

First of all, in Qingyuan County, the upper reaches of the Pearl River, the finished products of the first vehicle and ship have been manufactured, but an accident occurred during trial voyage in the small river waters and rushed directly to the shore and ran aground. The specific losses are still being evaluated; however, Zhou Huaian has approved more specifications of manufacturing projects.

It mainly tests of sizes and specifications for the relatively rich and abundant water systems in Lingnan and different river depths of different river channels to make full use of the relatively developed water transport resources in the local area.

The newly established exchange called "Sihaihao" in Guangzhou has been open for some time. It mainly valuates and exchanges various foreign goods, gold, silver and copper coins, and stores early financial services. It is also the only designated exchange with foreign exchanges in Guangzhou. At the same time, it also has branches for collection and redeem in cities at the county level of foreign provinces, using the Imperial Army's post system for exchange and adjustment.

Just based on the original search and confiscation of many residences and cabinets, a little transformation can come in handy. It can be said that except for the specific staff, other things can be integrated ready-made.

Therefore, in accordance with his requirements and the preliminary financial accounting system, the first month's "Balance Sheet", "Income Statement" and "Cash Statement" compiled have been sent to him through quick horses.

Then, after the joint efforts of shipping and the Maritime Trade Association, a group of local merchant forces in Lingnan began to lose sincerity to the rebel forces represented by the left-behind department; even under the rule of the rebel army, the newly established Feiqian Federations also began to try to operate under a simple internal negotiation mechanism.

......

Outside Jiangling City, the sun hidden among the clouds on the gray and white river surface was as graceful as red iron juice, which made the surrounding clouds and river surfaces turn into bloody patches.

Liu Jurong, the governor of Shannan, who was covered in black and shimmering black and purple robe, also stood on the river bank and looked at the city thoughtfully, with smoke and fire in the distance. The red, black, white, blue and purple flags under the city, which belonged to the official military camps, fluttered in the wind among the undulating and tortuous hills, appearing and disappearing from time to time, and looked very spectacular.

The offense and defense around this city has entered the seventh day; and the small groups of thieves attracted by it are also constantly in a row, and the government troops on the periphery are constantly clashing and fighting all day long.

Outside Jiangling City, there are many hills, hills and forests, which make people unable to see the real situation of the outer battle formation. Only the tips of the flags of both sides flash in the sun. The officers and soldiers and thieves' flags are mixed from time to time. The sound of war drums and shouts came from the battlefield, shocking the earth and the hearts of the observers.

But he was still holding a whisk in his hand at this moment, which seemed a little out of place with the murderous atmosphere of armor and soldiers around him. However, this was a little legacy and longing left by Xuanyuan Ji, a famous Taoist priest who was known as "Mr. Luofu" in his early years. According to the customs that are familiar with his relatives and others, as long as he has important thoughts, he will involuntarily pluck the whisk one by one.

"I'm afraid the Military Supervisory Academy is not easy to explain."

One of them would be worried and asked for instructions again.

"Why don't I know the thoughts of the Military Supervisory Academy? Don't I want to come to the city to offer victory as soon as possible to serve the Holy Lord?"

Liu Jurong's big hand swung hard and said decisively.

"But the thieves in the city are especially fighting for trapped beasts. It's not that easy to defeat Jiangling. It's better to wipe out more thieves who come to help, and then make plans after all their wings."

The Military Supervisory Academy was Qianyuan. After the Jianzhong Incident, in order to strengthen the control and constraints of the world's military horses, the State Administration of China gradually expanded its special mission in the office of the military commander who was assigned by the outsiders and internal officials. As the saying goes, Dezong said: "I will achieve my loyalty to the minions."

Therefore, the Military Supervision Academy or the Military Supervision Academy is also under the scepter of the same vassal commander. There are also deputy envoys, judges, envoys and small envoys, and they have corresponding elite troops as direct guards; they use "surveillance and rewards, report on violations and amnesty", and even checks and balances and curbs the arrogant vassal commander, so that he cannot obtain authority alone. Or when there are changes and changes in the vassal states, they will promptly interfere and rectify the chaos, and even temporarily replace their authority to be a transition.

However, after the evolution of the past dynasties, the military supervisors and military supervisors have also evolved into a powerful group of uneven quality. Among them are both weak and weak people who have become the lords of the vassal states and the decorations, and strong people who become strong even if they have to bow their heads and surrender. For example, among the many nobles, Yang Fuguang, one of the Yang brothers who is known as the "two sheep of the big inner world", is a model of Weifu's self-dedication.

Because he was an official in his family, he was an exception who could both manage the army and use troops. Therefore, in the military town where he supervised the army, he drove away and ordered without any daring to neglect; there were even many people who called themselves the disciples and walked under him and treated them with their sons and nephews;

The one assigned to the Shandong East Road Jiedushi Yang Quanxin was Yang Fuguang's junior. Therefore, Liu Jurong had to rely on his strength to communicate and eliminate the system in the court, but also to be afraid and tolerant of his interference in military affairs.

Of course, this explanation from the Military Supervision Academy was just an obvious reason. He has accumulated a lot of complaints and resentment in his heart over the past six months, and he no longer worked as hard as before when fighting.

You should know that Cao Quanyue, the Jiangxi recruitment envoy who was standing side by side with him, had never listened to his lenient advice and pursued the thieves to the south. As a result, after crossing the river, the court suddenly ordered Duan Yanmo to be the recruitment envoy. Cao Quanyue was furious when he heard the news and stopped pursuing troops to return it. He also received news that the court intended to transfer him back to the court to others on the grounds of remarking his achievements. The uneven rewards of the court were hard to describe, and it was also the first reason why he was unwilling to sell his strength.

In addition, although Liu Jurong was the governor of Shandong Dongdao, his subordinates had not only united by the unity of various states, guarding the troops, local Tutuan Town soldiers, and two or three guest troops who relied on the imperial court to provide boundary food for assistance. As the Zhongyi Army (in and outside soldiers) directly led by his camp, he had almost 5,000 posts. He believed that since he was appointed as the commander of the Qiqiao Town, he personally brought out these more than 5,000 soldiers. If there were any major casualties, he would not have the capital to obtain merits and rewards from the court.

There is a third reason why he refused to work hard because the court owed too much. So far, Shandong has a wide jurisdiction but many places are in ruins. Except for the Zhongyi Army under his command, which can still maintain basic support, the remaining officers and soldiers of various units have been owed wages for several months to six months, and can only rely on plundering and persuading donations to the place to maintain it for a while. Therefore, he knew very well that even if he wanted to work hard, these subordinates and subordinates might not be willing to work hard.

As the saying goes, the right time, place, and people are incompatible. Why did he do anything to go against the trend? Therefore, even the Yellow thief's military power has almost destroyed most of the positions of recruiting envoys in Jiangxi, while Cao Quanzhi still led his troops to Jiangbei and remained unmoved; and the Taining general Duan Yanmo had not come to take office for a long time, which is a good example of this strange situation of mutual control and fear.

His willingness to lead his army south to attack Jiangling to restrain the eastward advance of most of the thieves swept across the Jianghuai River was already a sincere explanation and response to the court; but most of his generals who were eager to attack did not understand. If all the thieves in front of him were really wiped out or drove them away elsewhere, then why should he continue to make contributions and consolidate his power?

Therefore, whether Huang Ni trapped Mianzhou and Hanyang, conquered Ezhou and Jiangxia, broke Huangzhou and Jiangzhou, and advanced Hongzhou and Raozhou. The more he attacked, the more he was in Baoshan and prospered Hunan, the more obvious and important the contributions of Jiangxi became.

But he was waiting for the battle results of several generals on the periphery, and suddenly he saw the dusty letter and cavalry sending a latest wooden letter. Then Liu Jurong couldn't help but be surprised, because the lacquer and stamp on it were from the Huainan Jiedushi and the southern camp recruitment, the Jianghuai Transportation Envoy, and was also the official document presented by Gao Pian, who had just given the title of title.

If it was the instructions and strategies from the prime ministers of the court, he might still have reservations and disapproval; but this old sworn brother who was in charge of the powerful soldiers and the wealthy areas in the southeast was an existence he had to treat and maintain good relations with very carefully;

Then, he sighed heavily and glared at his eyes, and ordered loudly, "Call Zhou, Dong and the other two will fight hard. If you don't go to the top of the city, just come and see you!"

After issuing this strict order, he also knew that it was not easy to seize the city well from the thief, and he had to lead the soldiers to attack fiercely, so he shouted again: "Wine comes!...beat the drum! line up!"

The two personal soldiers brought the jar of wine that had been prepared, poured a large bowl for him, and brought a whole steaming leg of cooked lamb. Amid the deafening sound of the war drums, Liu Jurong tilted his head to look at his yamen soldiers and the soldiers in the yamen, quickly lined up in the dust, drinking and eating meat.

After drinking five bowls of wine, he ate most of the whole lamb leg. The elite soldiers gathered in the camp had already lined up in line with bright armor and waited for the departure. He threw down the lamb leg, threw away his cloak, pulled out his long sword, and said, "Go on the horse!" A large group of personal soldiers and generals followed him on horseback, carrying thousands of cavalrymen with sparkling armor and flag-raising clouds and infantrymen with sharp swords and guns that were several times bright and sharp swords and guns toward the Jiangling Formation.

On the top of the city, a tall, thin, and blood-stained rebel general on the top of the city was also looking at the signs and carts under the city, and regrouped to bring about a huge trend of the government army. It was Cao Shixiong, who was called "Cao Lion" because of his straight and straight hair. Because he had not had a good rest for two days, his two large eye sockets collapsed deeper than in recent days, and his nose bridge and eyebrow bones also appeared higher.

However, it was the several attacks launched by Liu Jurong, the governor of Shandong East Road, which were more fierce and fierce. Once, he even fought at Jiangling City and was forced to retreat by the hasty naval army. After several repeated incidents, his rebel army suffered a considerable loss and his morale gradually declined.

Now, as the general and military leader of his journey, the veteran rebel general Wang Chongyin was also seriously injured by the cannons fired by the government army. Therefore, the important task of leading the rebel army in the city to stick to his body. Therefore, when the army advancing east had no response, and only some other rebel troops who came spontaneously to support but were defeated by the government army, he was more focused on Guangzhou's response and countermeasures.
