The husband was guarding the turtle and his hair was burnt due to the soldiers.

The mulberry tree is abandoned and still pays taxes, but the seedlings are still levied after the countryside is deserted.

At the time, pick wild vegetables and roots and cook them, and then chop them up and burn them with leaves.

No matter how deep the mountains are, there should be no way to avoid the levy.

"Shi Shishi" Tang Dynasty: Du Xunhe

——I am the dividing line—

The dirty and greasy ones scattered with salted edamames, boiled peanut shells, and unlimited tea soup that are so light that they don’t know the taste have become the best fun thing for these young scholars who like to talk big and talk about current affairs.

Wei Zhuang, a new intern in the missionary field recruiter who was mixed up among them, was also in a complicated mood and listened to their words and deeds. He never thought that he would have such a day to play such a role.

Only after personally experiencing it, he realized that the Taiping Army today is actually not short of people, and never appointed officials easily, even the lowest-level officials and subordinates. Therefore, it is a luxury to rely on his eloquence and style of speech, or some old literary names, reputations, and reputations, and heavy reputations.

Anyone who wants to make progress must either calm down and accumulate qualifications from the lowest level of practice; or take the third and fourth grade grade exams based on their own skills, and then pass subsequent construction and internships to have the opportunity to get a formal position.

Therefore, some scholars have been disappointed in the fact that they have not been able to make a name for themselves overnight or have made their mark. They are neither willing to calm down and deal with those stupid and stupid mud legs, nor do they want to retake exams and build them over and over again, and they go away one after another without saying goodbye.

Wei Zhuang himself is a relatively rare exception, because some of his works in Beijing in his early years were mentioned in the Grand Commander's place, and then a former friend Han Wei, who already has a small status and status, was guaranteed, so he obtained this internship position.

Since he is an internship position, it means that he does not have a formal salary, but he can receive a certain amount of subsidized physical benefits and a little copper coins. The task is to spend all day with these scholars, listen to their voices and public opinion, and regularly report some hot topics and daily status.

However, compared to Wei Zhuang, who was like a mess here, his other old friend Du Xunhe obviously went further and more radically. He actually signed up to participate in the terrifying anti-rebel meeting, one of the new "Three Detachments" teams.

This is not a good job with a reputation. It is rumored that the hands are covered with blood and even the danger of losing their lives is in danger. Therefore, Wei Zhuang has not advised this old friend to be a little cautious and be more cautious.

However, Du Xunhe, who had always shown a lot of freedom and joy, responded very decisively this time; "It is precisely because of the unheard news in the world that I want to see with my own eyes whether the Taiping Army's actions are always the same as the ones! If we can make a life for the people, will we even kill people like Qin Wu'an?

During the training camp outside Xixiang, Jinzhou, many young soldiers were sweating and receiving new tactics. Most of the standard jackets sewn with cotton and velvet were quickly taken off the side. In the thin snow that was trampled into a muddy area, the tendon flesh that was only made of fine linen clothes was exposed.

Fu Cun, the deputy team leader who was responsible for the training, also held a standard group card in his hand, making a smooth movement of flying up and down, running left and right, front and back gear, which was like playing this ordinary thing out of nowhere.

It is hard to imagine that the small official army sergeant who was determined to fight against thieves and made achievements more than a year ago is now a decent Taiping sergeant. Because of this, he changed his name to Fu Cunshen. The meaning of taking good care of the body is completely separated from the past and freed from it.

Over the past few days, although the overall military volume has not increased much based on the Eighth Army and Sixth Defense Zone of the Taiping Grand Governor's Office, the corresponding investment in addition to military expenditure has increased several times over the years.

For example, with the pacification of the southeastern Jiangxi and the east (dao) of Shan (south) and the prefectures of the Xiajiang River, and the majority of local transformation and cleaning up work entered the final stage, the orders of the first to sixth armies, as the main force of the Taiping Army, have once again become full of people with the return of the organization.

Among them, a large number of subordinate armed forces who have been trained and inspected in the preliminary battle formation were incorporated and renovated into Xintunzhuang in various places (old and weak) in the form of supplementary troops, or (young and young) were sent to the second and third-tier garrison regiments and field protection teams in other places.

However, the biggest investment is the clothing replacement and tactical strengthening of the main force; for example, except for the navy and cavalry in special circumstances, the other six military orders must ensure a armor-wearing rate of more than 60% to 80%, of which at least more than half of the iron armor (scale armor, chain mail, ring armor and even forged steel chest protection).

In addition, because of the accumulation of breeding and animal husbandry in recent years, coupled with the Luokua income from the Taiping Army's war, it can slaughter about 10,000 large livestock for riding purposes every year, and the purchase of free-range private parts ensures that the six armies will achieve at least 30% of the mules and horses and 30% of the infantry will ride.

Then there is the equipment on the firearms. Each army must maintain at least an independent firearm unit (grenadier/grenadier), accounting for about one-tenth of the total military. So in this way, the expenses and investments in various places have increased.

Of course, because most of these troops are scattered in various places, the corresponding dress-up and training work can only be prepared according to the distance and priorities.

Among them, the sequences that are trained and replaced are the most preferred ones, which are neither the reserve/mobile troops stationed in the rear, nor the sequences that are on the front line to prepare for the enemy; but the second-line troops that are regularly rotated from the front line to trim.

Therefore, as a new Taiping Army soldier, the first stage of entering the supplementary camp is to use spears to arrange arrays and marches to respond to the enemy. If anyone fails to perform at this stage, he will be eliminated and returned to his hometown, village, and factory.

Then, based on the specific performance and expertise of the new players, we initially select sword players who can fight in arrays and adapt to small groups of attacks, or crossbow players who can shoot rapidly, diffuse, and accumulate shooting in multiple arrays.

Only at this time can they be called a qualified new Taiping patriarch. Then, on this basis, there are more new advancements and development directions.

For example, those who are good at riding can be incorporated into a horse team and participate in basic training in riding operations; to determine whether they are riding a war horse and becoming a cavalry that charges or a cavalry that rides mules and horses and then fights in an array.

Those who are good at floating water will generally be accepted as priority conditions for the navy to select personnel who can adapt to boat and surface activities for a long time, and then conduct basic training for water fights, landing and attacking, or armed crossing.

Also, soldiers who are low-stature but good at climbing in the mountains and are not afraid of rugged will be incorporated into a few mountain barracks to receive marching and attack training for strengthening obstacle crossing, mountain shuttle training with the help of equipment, and even confrontational exercises with corresponding mountain environments and special equipment.

For those who are strong in body, waist and arms, they can apply to join the training of the fire-drop team and learn simple means of breaking distances to eventually become an admirable grenade, or even a formal grenade, an old grenade, and a grenade.

Now they have another new choice. Those who are flexible and firm will be assigned to new firearms including three-eyed guns to fire short guns to obtain flat shooting and killing capabilities far from bows and crossbows.

As for the members of the team (long-range projection equipment) you want to become, the requirements are even higher. In addition to having enough strength and courage, you also need to have simple numerical calculations and literacy to learn how to observe, aim and map the battle formation.

As advanced crossbows and team leaders, craftsmen must even master simple repair and maintenance methods, and be able to use materials locally to prepare for the battlefield from time to time. Therefore, these differences and divisions in the army are also called "new third level, old third level, and firearms third level", and have become the direction for the new Jin soldiers to strive for.

——I am the dividing line—

At the Hejiangkou, which is at the intersection of northwest Yuzhou and Luzhou, the newly built civil structure military camp along the river bank and the mountain wall, the Kunpeng pattern green flag of the Taiping Army is swaying.

The crowds of people carrying ships along the limited open military gates, winding along the roads, carrying baskets, or carrying ships on the river, have become a unique scenery nowadays. The products they transported are of various types, but the things they loaded back are unified gray and white particles.

The reason is also very simple, because the people in Jiannan Road, both the Dongchuan and Xichuan have been suffering from the day of light food caused by salt shortage. The turmoil in Xiajiang Road earlier led to the cut off salt supply from Chongqing and Wange Prefectures for a long time.

You should know that in this era, compared with Gongjing County, Rongzhou (now Zigong City), which has not yet been developed on a large scale, the Badong area of ​​Sokong'e in Yuzhou was the most important inland salt industry between Bashu and even the Yunnan-Guizhou Central, and the history can even be traced back to the Baguo era thousands of years ago.

Just the Dachang Supervisory (in Wuxi County today), Yong'an Supervisory (in Fengjie County today), Tu Supervisory (in Zhong County today), Yuyang Supervisory (in Changtan Well, Wanzhou District today), Yun'an County Supervisory (in Yunyang County today); there are hundreds of salt wells and salt springs, regardless of the private wells, private pits, and mountain caves that are dug and boiled by the people.

So not long after the Taiping Army and the official army were in a standstill, someone took the initiative to risk crossing the border and throwing it into the country to do the business of buying salt. The next thing became natural.

As a means of generating income by restoring local production and self-improvement and self-reliance, Jiangling quickly approved the newly established local Tunzhuang to rebuild the Yanjing Workshop by passing the newly built wall signal tower along the coast of the Wuzhou Prefecture of Xiajiang. It opened the request for sales to generate income, and sent a working group from the corresponding Shangzhi Bureau with the ship.

Carbonite produced in Yiling County, Xiazhou (Yichang, Hubei), was also shipped by cargo, which was used as a cheap alternative to subsequent mining and salt boiling; after all, the local stewed salt has a long history, and the firewood used is collected from nearby mountains and forests. In the long run, it has caused great damage to vegetation and soil.

In the later Ming and Qing Dynasties, Badong's salt industry was defeated by the decline of Zigong, which had a fire well (natural gas) boiled salt. It was also because the forest belts and forests were severely damaged, and the destruction became farther and farther, and the cost was gradually unsuccessful.

As a nearby tower in Yiling County, not only did it discover carbohydrate mines that could be mined in shallow open-pit areas, but also found graphite pits and silica sand pits that were very large, and even phosphate-rich slab rock formations found during the process of carbohydrate exploration.

This brings a huge benefit. The Taiping Army no longer has to transport struvite from the sea thousands of miles away, but can popularize fatty field powder to more military farms and management areas placed along the inland river. It can even be further processed into matches, base fire and other chemical products.

On a large flat boat that was far away from Luzhou, Lin Shenhe, who was missed, was also darkened by the wind and sun, and his hands and feet were exposed outside his old robes covered with dust, like an authentic traveler traveling between the gorges.

His first task was to investigate the salt production situation in Gongjing County, Rongzhou, and make corresponding production capacity and damage costs assessments. Behind all this, there is the potential need of the Taiping Army for economic infiltration and plunder of Jiannan.
