In the end, Wang Chongrong made up his mind to temporarily let go of Dayu, who had been increasing troops, and then led his troops north to take precautions. He appointed his eldest son Wang Yao as the defensive envoy of Puzhou and stayed in Puban City to defend against the Taiping Army from the other side of Pujin Bridge.

After all, for him, the Hezhong Jiedushi, even if he lost the entire Hezhong Prefecture/Puzhou area, he would only lose the corresponding land population; but he could not accept that he was the foundation of his business, and the Yanchi in Jie County was lost.

Because that also means that he has lost it, and it can be used to win people's hearts and maintain the cohesion of the army; for the Wang family, the Hezhong General, who was abnormally promoted and did not have the title of the imperial court, it would be an absolute disaster and a disaster of overthrow.

Don’t you see the best example, Han Jian, who has inherited three generations of people in Weibo Town. He just suffered a great defeat in Tianping Town when he expanded to Henan. As a result, he was abandoned by the Weibo generals and soldiers, and ended up dead and unable to return.

They can only win without giving up easily, nor can they slightly reduce the rewards and surveillance and suppression of their subordinates; that is, since the Zhenyuan period, which laid the foundation for the separatist power of the feudal states, they have been the leaders of the Fangzhen Martial Arts Group, and they have to face the same problems and common problems.

But no one can change, or rebel against this fait-made pattern. Because the numerous examples from past dynasties have proved that whether it is the prime minister in the court or the famous general who is a striking area, anyone who wants to make a change or tries to do so will probably have already grown several feet tall.

As one of the emerging general families born in the Salt Gang, Wang Chongrong certainly would not commit this great controversy in the world. Therefore, he could only choose to cut his flesh between tigers and wolves to feed one side, and to breathe and turn around.

So Zhou Huaian, who was still on the way to patrol the capital, received news from the envoy sent by King Chongrong of Hezhong, and couldn't help but smile lightly:

"Can he be able to come out again this time? Could it be the old tune of those wealthy children replayed again, right?"

"Including Hezhong Prefecture/Puzhou (now Yongji City, Shanxi Province), Hexi, south of Taiyue Mountain and Emei Ridge, Linjin, Yishi, Yuxiang, Bao, Jie, and Yongle counties,"

Li Shicheng, the chief of external relations, said slightly:

"He is so light and takes these obviously uncontrollable places as bargaining chips?"

Zhou Huaian smiled slightly and said:

"Now our army has opened up the situation in Dayu's crossing east, and the river has always had no choice. If I really want it, wouldn't I send someone to take it myself? Why do I need his generosity? What should I say?"

"This guy also said that if he had to stop the battle, he would like to block Hedong in the pass, and even to conquer the Shatuo Fan Hu who occupied the Northern Capital..."

Li Shicheng quickly said respectfully:

"If it is better, will he have no choice but to join forces with Nashatuhu?"

Zhou Huaian smiled again and made up for the following text.

"The Lord clearly sees thousands of miles! That's it..."

Li Shicheng lowered his eyebrows and said with pleasure:

"Okay, that's just killing two birds with one stone. We'll clean up each other and save our army from fighting all the way..."

Zhou Huaian smiled distractedly:

Nowadays, all walks of life in the pass must be controlled by the Taiping Army, and they can be said to be smooth in all directions; therefore, as long as you wait a moment to accumulate more strength and resources, the advantages will only become more and more obvious in the long run.

So no matter how he acts, he will accumulate enough strength and get over it. Compared to the small strategy and war in Hezhong, Zhou Huaian's attention during this period is actually more about the governance and countermeasures of the rear.

For example, during this period, both the Anti-Rebel Association, the Social Mediation Department, the Enemy Work Department, and even the Internal Security Department have achieved fruitful results and achieved remarkable results; of course, this is not because of their sudden explosion of character or performance efficiency.

It is more of the chain reactions caused by the Taiping Army's pacification of Shu and the entry into Chang'an/Guangzhou. Once again, even though the Taiping Army swept across half of the southern mountains and rivers, some people were still unable to resist on the surface. However, they turned a blind eye to the old dynasty's remnants.

But when the small court of Xichuan was uprooted and the former emperor became a living example of parades and exhibitions, even the most stubborn and decisive people had to admit that the once mighty Tang Dynasty was truly ethane.

In addition, the Taiping Army went north and successfully defeated the last remaining Helong coalition forces of the Tang Dynasty, and after entering the capital of the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years, it represented a huge symbolic meaning and psychological impact. It was impossible for the Taiping Army to unify the world sooner or later, and the last bit of doubts and self-deception was gone.

Therefore, it is reflected in the direct signs and chain reactions in reality; that is, there are many spies and spies from various forces, and even the resulting related persons, who are voluntarily or involuntarily, and are exposed one after another without help.

Because, under this desperate despair and self-deprecation mentality, people with different backgrounds have secretly stood up to the corresponding departments and sold past interpersonal relationships and things to a good price in exchange for the opportunity to survive in the new dynasty.

Therefore, under the scribbling of each other and the many bites, several departments often make a fuss about targeting and arresting the same group at the same time. It turns out that everyone was reported by each other, and jokes and farces such as "One of us is not a traitor" are revealed.

It is inevitable that some not so important relationships, or just that the private position is not firm enough, but there is no substantial action or harmful consequences; therefore, the handling opinions between the Anti-Rebel Association and the Social Mediation Department are actually not unified and require Zhou Huaian's ruling.

In addition, he had just signed a newly released systematic crackdown and disposal plan, as well as a list of exiles. The reason is also very simple. In the relatively long-term rear, such as the two ridges and Hunan, some tricks and other things have emerged.

For example, if you take advantage of the unequal information in a famine, you will hoard goods, want to make huge profits and buy personal contracts on a large scale; or try to collude and win over grassroots personnel to open the door to convenience for their disguised land annexation;

Even the agents who were originally elected were originally elected. In recent years, they planned to re-establish the prototype of a new and powerful household on the grounds of clan association. They sent the Taiping Army to towns and villages to disguise the insults and isolation.

How many years have passed? The new generation has not yet fully grown up, and the members of the Boy Battalion and the Young Army have only grown up for four or five periods. Why did someone forget the Taiping Army's style of conduct and attitude and position so quickly?

In other words, is this another wave of subtle private tests and touches on the ruling foundation and mental bottom line of the Taiping Military regime before the new dynasty is about to be established and completely laid?

Do these people think that their necks are not hard enough and cannot moisten the Taiping Army's big knife, or are they particularly eager to contribute to the banana planting and crocodile breeding industry in the wilderness of the border?

However, the purpose of killing is mainly to deter potential trends and reflect the cost of illegality; but there are still some tendencies but no actual actions, so it is not easy to have an undifferentiated one-size-fits-all approach.

They are mainly emerging regional businessmen groups that benefited a lot during the rise of the Taiping Army; not only are they all have the vision and courage to keep up with the times, or the enterprising spirit of abandoning old things within the corresponding system.

Therefore, after some of them have accumulated enough, they will naturally want to go back to the old path. For example, they want to leave a stable family business by buying a large amount of property (mainly buying land).

However, if they let it go, they will be the prototype and soil of a new group of gentry and powerful people in the future. After playing chess, Zhou Huaian summed up the experiences and gains and losses of later generations, he also made corresponding decisions on the instructions without hesitation.

At present, the Taiping Army regime can give them a chance and choice; either move to Chang'an with all their wealth, as an ordinary wealthy family far away from the familiar countryside, settle down here and live again as a future resident of the capital.

Or personally participate in and invest in the Taiping Army's expansion activities in the foreign lands, so that they can comrades in the land of foreign countries and foreign countries have their own abilities and abilities. In addition to the overall coordination of actions and coordination of interests, the Taiping Army will naturally not do much specific interference.

In fact, as a Taiping Army regime, which was from the peak of the original feudal society, made great strides to the primary industrial system; sooner or later, it would face the saturation of domestic market and demand; it would turn to the expansion and development outside the Chinese civilization circle, and obtain long-term expectations and potential needs for new dumping places and raw materials.

Therefore, these guided domestic civil forces are just pioneers (cannon fodder) and tests for the waters in a sense.

Of course, if you have some effort to buy property, but are unwilling to contribute to China's external development, and are unwilling to come to Xindu to be a wealthy and submissive people; then you must be potential rebels and dissidents who have evil intentions and are planning ill-behaving.
