Chapter 1068: The Gravel Flutters (Part 2)
Then, among the defeated soldiers who had already escaped into the camp and were gathered up again, some people were incoherently shouting:
"After losing, all of them were defeated. When the firearms of the peaceful thieves sounded, their comrades fled like a landslide..."
"That's really a collapse! With a sound of light, a whole piece of earth and rocks on the hills fell down; in a blink of an eye, most of the people in the valley were buried."
"Those thieves attacked by the narrow mountain pass, and it didn't work if many people rushed up! They rushed over and over again, and the corpse path had nowhere to settle down..."
"When the Lord was ruthless and led the people to rush over, he heard several loud noises, and together with more than a hundred personal soldiers, they were all released, and they could not even rob the body of the body..."
"Don't fight with the thief army in the mountains again. These thief army are as skilled as monkeys, and are good at fighting in narrow and rugged places. Unpredictable, they are attacked by condescendingly..."
"Often our bows and arrows are difficult to shoot upwards to those people, but they are beaten to death without any cover. Therefore, the bandits dare to block the road with more than a dozen firearms, while our army can only rely on the cards to block them and rush over to death."
"But finally arrived at the open place, the thief army had a huge firearm with a loud sound. Every time they sounded, the human brand was flying everywhere... and even if they hid behind the earth and rocks, they would inevitably be injured."
"I have another kind of arson thing that can burn a large piece as soon as it is thrown out. Even if it is stained with water, it won't work. Then the brothers are blocked and separated! They can only fight for themselves..."
"What should he fight this frustrating battle?"
However, before these people could talk in the camp for a long time, they were taken down by the guards sent by Li Siyuan in the city. They cut down more than a dozen people on the spot to rectify the trend on the grounds of "instrumentalism" and "disturbing the morale of the army".
However, facing the retreating Shi Jingsi himself, Li Siyuan, as the chief marching officer of the South Road, could not be cut off. Because he was not only one of the adopted sons of his brother, but also one of the three surnames of Shatuo, who was the core pillar of the Jin army, and the contemporary chief/governor of the Sage tribe.
——I am the depressed dividing line—
Compared with the battle report training that was in full swing in Hedong, Zhou Huaian, who was in Chang'an City, was in a calm and calm daily life, and was proceeding step by step as usual. Even if news of victory or failure came by chance, he was calm and calm;
Because with the successive surrender of two key forces, Zhuge Shuang and Zhu Laosan in Henan, in Hebei; coupled with the power structure from Hezhong Prefecture to Guandong, it has been unobstructedly connected through Tongguan-Hangu Road, the Taiping Army can already pull out its hands and make every effort to correspond to the situation in Hedong.
According to the information obtained from the front, Li Ya'er, who was regarded as a fateful enemy from Zhu Laosan, is worthy of being the son of luck in history. Even after defeating the border, he still successfully captured the Hedong land as the foundation, but the situation he faces is different from that of another time, space and space.
According to the confession of Li Cunjin (Sun Chongjin), one of the adopted sons who were captured in Puzhou, the small court of Hedong has now organized more than a dozen armies of varying sizes under the name of Hedong Town and Xingying, which is known as a group of 100,000 troops.
In addition, because the three Shatuo tribes lost the Yun, Lan, Wei, Dai and other Yanbei prefectures, which depended on for their residencies, there were tens of thousands to tens of thousands of Daibei tribes moved to Hedong. Therefore, with the power of a corner of Hedong Town, we have to provide additional support for so many foreigners who do not know how to farm and only know how to graz.
Therefore, the Jin army/Hedong army led by the small court in Taiyuan had to attack Shangdang, Hezhong and other places under the push of the situation, to expand their territory and eat and settle down; or in other words, the current Hedong side has the momentum and enthusiasm of hot oil and flowers, but lacks the strength and potential of strategic layout.
Therefore, it is still the same saying that in the long run, time is on the side of the Taiping Army; even if there are occasional setbacks and losses, as long as it can block the head-on offensive from Hedong and prevent him from getting the opportunity to replenish and recuperate, there is a considerable probability that he will continue to weaken while bleeding.
Therefore, for Zhou Huaian, it is as important as the Yingtians and Tunzhuang set up in Guannei Road and the more than 20 prefectures in the capital; it is the gradual development of the three types of primary schools, township schools, and night schools (central Tunzhuang) systems established on this basis.
It can be said that this is even more important than the former. Because the field and village system solves the current economic problems and the resources and manpower required to reorganize and pacify the world; and the multi-level talent training mechanism formed by the township/night school system is the basis for maintaining the good operation of the future regime system.
Don’t underestimate that there are only a few dozen literacy-based calculations in these villages, and the proportion of education in middle and higher education institutions may further narrow or even stop there; however, the overall base of the villages and camps distributed in five roads and twelve roads is a probability and scale that cannot be ignored.
Therefore, it is possible to consider starting from meeting and filling the needs of grassroots staff in rural and towns; as long as these personnel who have received Taiping Army-style propositions and concepts persist in accumulating them in batches year by year, they will eventually achieve a blood transformation process and general trend from bottom to top quantitative change to qualitative change.
But at this time, the corresponding value and influence of those retained personnel under the old system will be further downplayed and eliminated. Or in other words, those with insight will strive to change and adapt under the sense of crisis of being replaced and abandoned, and the initial goal of this education and training system will be achieved.
Under the ideal state, you have your own mature internal talent training system, plus targeted selection, and an education system that absorbs external knowledgeable people; just like the black and white sides of a pair of Yin and Yang fish, as long as you have a suitable operating framework, it will naturally promote corresponding competition and interaction and promote a virtuous cycle.
In addition, as Guanzhong settled, the monetary issuance departments of the corresponding new regime were constructed and improved; and the further integration of the Feiqian/Bill number system with original financial functions such as deposits, withdrawals, exchanges, and loans also entered the main agenda.
Of course, according to Zhou Huaian's preliminary plan, this dual system of currency issuance and financial circulation will be independent of the traditional fiscal and tax system; it is a direct department second only to the branch office and slightly higher than the general government affairs association; but it is also subject to daily supervision and policy guidance by the judges of each branch office.
Through the initially established internal credit system, the currency circulation needs of the government and the private sector will be absorbed and digested; to gradually ease and solve a series of chain reactions and subsequent problems that have inevitably encountered and faced in previous dynasties.
It is mainly manifested in that after the country enters a period of population growth and output explosion after the country enters a period of rest and recuperation, due to the lack of circulating currencies and currency on the market, it is inevitable that in the harvest year, the problem of "low grain damages farmers" is "something to waste" and various currency tightening (money shortage) problems.
The so-called small peasant economic system of men farming and women weaving, and self-sufficiency sounds a bit pastoral and beautiful; but behind it is a very fragile risk resistance and a lack of communication medium for monetizing agricultural products and handmade products, which leads to the lack of production and living materials.
In the past three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, why has it been officially recognized that silk and other expensive goods have been popular for a long time? It is not because of insufficient circulation of copper coins in previous dynasties, and the prosperity of private trade, and the national taxation also requires sufficient real needs to be forced out by various real needs of equivalent items.
However, silk itself is not a matter of storage and wear resistance; coupled with the different texture standards of the wide, long, short and dense origin, this leads to various black holes and disadvantages extended in the process of national tax collection; it has become increasingly levied to the people, and it has also greatly increased administrative costs.
Therefore, the Taiping Army also adopted a two-pronged strategy. On the one hand, it is to absorb the national credit for a paid period, and the potential wealth accumulated by the people and the remaining wealth in the hands of officials, the people and the people; rather than rust and moldy in the house as in the past.
On the other hand, on the basis of increasing the source of copper mineral output, we will cast more new coins with excellent quality and low cost to replace and eliminate all kinds of bad money, light money and old money, as well as various currency circulation spaces on the market.
For example, in addition to batch rolling traditional full-text, five or ten copper coins, gold, silver and treasure coins with higher face value are introduced into circulation as a means of diversion of bulk currency demand.
In this case, even if there are still people who want to raise copper coins as a copper ware that preserves or increases value, the end will be a result that is not worth the money. However, if you want to cast private money for profit, it is difficult to break through the low-cost advantages and various anti-counterfeiting methods of large-scale industrial manufacturing?
After all, in addition to mastering the natural advantages of economic operations from the national level; just talking about the means of collecting seigniorage, who can compare with this era? Has anyone who has mastered the primary industrial production and high-capacity processing system, and has a Taiping Army regime with multiple sources of materials?
In a sense, how long the strength and vitality of a regime can last depends on the corresponding national fiscal operation status and the development of the social and economic system, and whether it can form a mutually matching virtuous cycle.
After all, the prosperity and decline and final collapse of all dynasties have all begun with the corresponding national finances and social and economic problems. As the success or failure of the efforts of improvement and change are repeated, they will eventually lead to uncontrollable corruption.
