Chapter 358: Considering the Pros and Cons of Difficulty (Part 2)
After suffering from war, there were no traces of the original residents in Xunyang City. The streets were filled with various rebel soldiers, standing or standing, or wandering in groups of three or five; most of the shops along the street were open, but there were messy and messy situations, and only some rebel soldiers were entering and leaving or occupied during the period.
I immediately asked Zhao Zhang a little, and then I realized that he had actually followed the early Taiping Army's male and female battalion system and encircled and managed the remaining scholars and civilians in the city. Well, Zhou Huaian didn't know how to complain at this moment.
It should be noted that the male and female battalion system under the early military organization of the Taiping Army was mainly a temporary solution developed by sacrificing certain efficiency and mobilizing within the calculation time, occupying the human resources in the city and local areas, and sacrificing certain efficiency and mobility.
In this way, when the Taiping Army was invading the attack, men were gathered to provide corresponding labor transfers, while women stayed in the rear cities to receive collective arrangements or assigned work tasks by households in exchange for quantitatively distributed food and food supplies;
In this way, with limited resource investment and management costs, there is not much room for trouble behind people to incite to cause trouble, and young and strong people who provide assistance in the front are also hindered. For the sake of family, they can endure hard and heavy labor and will not easily escape or rebellion.
However, as the resources that the Taiping Army could mobilize gradually increased in the later period, and the personnel of the underlying management successively increased and the refinement of many occupational divisions, the target of this kind of management gradually narrowed to specific occupational expertise and categories.
Therefore, although there are still women's camps now, they are mainly organized in the logistics department. They are specially used to accommodate the families of the new and old rebels, as well as to accommodate widowed women who have been displaced due to war, and even recruit women from some places to work to earn money to subsidize their families through long-term or short-term labor.
However, if you think about it a little, this initially simple system is really suitable for the style of a peasant uprising army like Huang Chao. At least in the later Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, the original Taiping Army was a key factor in the area of Jintian Village, and quickly turned to the south of Jiangnan for a general purpose, and finally made progress in establishing the capital of Nanjing.
In addition, among the current Huang Chao's troops, there are actually other signs of obvious or not obvious imitation from the Taiping Army. For example, the logistics system of the General's Mansion is obviously relatively concentrated and divided and refined. Among them, there are many things that Zhou Huaian created by himself outside the Lingbing and followed the transformation;
Among them are the aftermath camps that specialize in managing craftsmen of all kinds, collect materials and simply build armored equipment, and concentrate on the treatment and treatment of all wounded people.
For example, although they did not copy it directly, the Taiping Army had already clearly defined the team's holy bank system; but they also imitated similar models and principles under the name of the Dushu Commander, and created a so-called "jun replenishment method" that imitated the seizure of all the troops under their command, then redistributed and withdrawn, and adjusted.
Under Zhao Zhang, the right envoy of the General's Office, there is even a member of the Changping Office's Peace Quarantine. The former is obviously the Yu Ze and the practice of regularly holding flea markets by Zhou Huaian at the beginning.
The latter specializes in the internal business of the Rebel Army, which is obviously similar to the supply and marketing systems of the Taiping Army at all levels; but there are much more categories. In addition to the traditional sales of tea, wine, salt, vinegar, sauce, rice, and cloth, it also includes some part-time craftsmen in the service industry; and even effective prostitutes, officials and other professionals, who are specialized in following the army to do flesh and blood business.
Obviously, in the difficult and dangerous environment where the peasant army led by Huang Chao came to the north, it was not unaware of the place to adapt and find shortcuts.
Of course, according to the development trajectory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations, once the upper class began to seek comfort and prosperity and stayed and did not want to make progress, and in the mutual construction and comparison, they would seize the holy database system from top to bottom, and the men and women who used their own strength to break the precious experiences and lessons and examples that were based on development and growth were destroyed; they would inevitably lead to the vicious cycle of declining.
I don’t know how far Huang Chao can go with these things in this misaligned time and space; at least it will not be in the years after entering Chang'an in the future; he clearly has hundreds of thousands of household registrations in the capital, but he is in a dilemma where few people can use it and even the whole city is enemies.
After passing at least six newly built bamboo sheds and colorful buildings, and three deliberately renovated and enhanced decorations, and standing on the city gates full of armored soldiers and patrols, Zhou Huaian finally arrived at the largest garden in the northwest corner of Xunyang City, known as the largest city.
This is also a famous line written by Bai Letian, a famous poet of the previous generation, "Pipa Xing". The owner of the background story, Chen Zhifan, a great tea merchant who is known as "focusing on profit and neglecting separation", has built a garden called "Guangle Park".
It is said that after "Pipa Xing" gradually became popular all over the world, he did not care about the story of his concubine's private handover with him. Instead, he minded the comments on "Xunyang's remote place without music"; and specially renovated and expanded the garden. He also widely placed singers and beautiful music in it, and invited literati and scholars to travel to the mansion, singing and composing lyrics and composers to make a name for themselves, which made him famous. This was why this Guangle Park was once famous.
Before the aconitus gate in the garden, several rows of ceremonial guards, including flags, yak festivals, tarpaulins, spears, axes, melon hammers, etc. were extended far away. There were also strong horses wearing silk and colorful clothes, and the owl guards made of black armor and yellow pine trees. It is said that this is a story that imitates the emperor in Chang'an, with the inside and outside being "dance of horses" intersecting the "track of horses".
There are newly built large sheds on both sides of the door; through the colorful silk curtains, you can see the musicians sitting in vertical rows of squirrels, playing some unknown high-pitched and cheerful tunes.
After seeing Zhou Huaian and his team riding on horseback, they hurriedly stopped the sound of lively silk and bamboos surrounding them, and replaced it with a more heavy, high-profile sound of bells, tripods, gold and stones. It seemed like a illusion that made people suddenly enter a certain Fuhua Palace.
After arriving here, Zhou Huaian shook his companion Xu Yi while dismounting. He also took the order without hesitation, and called on the private soldiers who came to stay in the temporary resting place across the street, surrounding several specially made carriages, sitting down against the guards of the owl guards.
In the water-side hall with clear and transparent sides, surrounded by old and new faces, Zhou Huaian once again met Huang Chao, the commander of the millions of rebels in the country, the general of the sky and the rebel king, and the gravedigger of the last Tang Dynasty.
The old farmer who was thick and thin at the beginning was as thick and simple as a simplicity. He had been worn and replaced by the rich and noble atmosphere of silk and brocade, and looked a little old and thin.
But on the vicissitudes of life, which were obviously overworked, and the vicissitudes of the eyebrow tips and head-up patterns, the eyes revealed were still sharp, sharp and deeper and more severe; while the inadvertent and gentle rotation of the eyes was filled with a kind of impulse that seemed to be able to penetrate the hearts.
Obviously, after this major setback and turning point, he further transformed and matured; and became more and more traditional and powerful demeanor and incomprehensible deep and scheming.
Huang Chao slowly stood up, and in an unquestionable voice, heared in public before the singer was born:
"It's Brother Xu that is here, it's really the blessing of my rebel army's great cause..."
As soon as these words were spoken, a series of low voices in the audience once again became uncontrollable discussions.
After all, as the number of people under his command increased and his power became increasingly deep, the number of old men who could make Huang Wang call him "Brother x" became increasingly rare; but he did not expect that he would fall on this Xu monk who was still late but was already a little bit late.
Then someone suddenly looked at all this sideways, and said calmly as if he was waking up from a dream; has this unknown monk Xu actually jumped over to most people, and even the Huang King had to treat him with courtesy in public?
"King Huang is really too good. Compared with the great achievements of the King Shangxing uprising and uprising the world and making up for the people's equality, I am just starting out."
Zhou Huaian also thought about it several times and responded earnestly and enthusiastically.
"So this time I brought 50,000 stones of rice, grain and 30,000 pieces of cloth and silk. I hope to work together to do my best to serve the rebel army."
Then amid the unknown exclamation and discussion, his eyes looked at the many mature faces present. This time, it was probably the most comprehensive occasion for the generals of the military, subordinates and staff under Huang Chao to gather. I don’t know what kind of existence would be there.
One of the functions and significances of his personal visit this time was not only the main contradiction between Xuanwei and the show of goodwill, but also the opportunity to wield a hoe to dig Huang Chao's corner. After all, now he has both territory and army himself, and he is enough to become one of the candidates for choosing good trees in the usual sense.
According to the previous experiences of Zi Zhou Huaian and the historical records of later generations, Huang Chao's early peasant uprising army was simply the later battle for hegemony of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the soil and seedling beds hidden and dormant by the emperors and generals.
Now it is a relatively suitable opportunity and threshold. If it were earlier, it might be either that the other party lacked understanding of his own side and was disrespectful, or that it would be that the rebels would become enemies, and that they would even lead to the risk of their career failure and failure.
If it is later, it is hard to say how many people are willing to give up the seemingly good momentum of march, or stay or turn to the Taiping Army.
In comparison, this node is more suitable now. Huang Chao's main force just passed the loss of a fierce battle, and most of the people who survived were capable and lucky people. Then it expanded rapidly in a short period of time, and became "large-strong" and "large-strong".
At this time, poaching and pulling away some individuals will appear more hidden and inconspicuous; or not everyone can realize the value of the corresponding person; even if they are noticed and discovered, the rebound and doubts they encounter will not be so obvious, or it is easy for people to fear.
It is obvious that specific identification and winning over talents and talents who may succeed in the future, and even things like Shi En and the other party, should not be used casually.
When Huang Chao heard Zhou Huaian's response, some of the people who were thinking about it or who had tense their bodies around him could not help but breathe a sigh of relief and exchanged a few glances with each other;
Since the other party can lower his posture and posture in person, it also means that under this initial tone, there is room for further negotiation and establishment. Regardless of the changes and development of the situation in the future, at least the benefits and interests can be grasped first.
"Brother Xu is really interested... and thanked him for many children."
