Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-first
As the saying goes, the basic truth that the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the superstructure affects the economic foundation. The gradual collapse of a dynasty is basically a vicious cycle of deterioration of social economy and the collapse of national finances, which ultimately leads to the more chaos and the more chaos and the more governance it becomes.
Therefore, if the Taiping Army wants to reform the old and innovate in this era, the best choice is to abandon the old system and its derivatives that have been overwhelmed and are corrupted, and to start the foundation and forge a more dynamic social system and regime system.
A new economic system with the "Taiping Tianmu System" and the "Taiping Shengku Outline" as the core and able to cycle well and self-consistently is also an indispensable part of it.
Among them, the right to mint coins composed of a large number of precious metals and the integrated currency circulation and regime credit system derived from the integrated ones are undoubtedly the top priority. After all, although the territory, population and army under the Taiping Army are not yet named as a country, they are better than the reality of the country.
Today, the Taiping Army has completely controlled 39 states in the five jurisdictions of Lingnan, and partially controlled eleven states through the key points of settlement and household replenishment. As for the remaining areas, they are relatively geographically broken, narrow, and weak-populated states and banned states.
Even during the period when the Tang Dynasty was at its most powerful state, these places were controlled by the local Haoke Cave Lords themselves, and there were not many real Han people.
The original intention of establishing an administrative system was mainly to maximize the need to differentiate and oppose it, and it was divided into pieces as governors and county magistrates. Therefore, the largest ones were more than a thousand households, while the few were only hundreds and more than a hundred households.
Therefore, in the historical records of all dynasties, the five-guard land in Lingnan can easily defeat the land of several states and tens of states with limited garrisons; and when they are in chaos, they are always corrupt and the size of several states and tens of states, and then they are pacified by thousands of thousands of government troops.
Especially after the key armed settlements promoted by the Taiping Army now occupy the key traffic rush; the long-standing connections and links between these land, barbarians, mountains and barbarians were separated in disguise; and it was even more impossible to easily form a force.
On the contrary, their daily economic lifeline and people's livelihood of foreign exchanges and trade exchanges were controlled by the Taiping Army. Therefore, in addition to the death and destruction of some of the more stubborn people, the remaining Tumandongxia villages also underwent relatively favorable changes, or were forced to adapt to a new situation.
Among them were the young men and women from the earth and barbarians in the deep mountains who ran out to seek shelter; there were also the enlightened chiefs, heads, and old people in the village who directly drove their slaves and subordinates to work for the Taiping Army, thinking that they would make profits or exchange for corresponding in-kind rewards.
Therefore, Liangling is also the most important grain production area and production area for military and civilian products in the rear of the Taiping Army. However, in addition to mining and commerce, the development potential in other aspects has almost reached the upper limit of land and population. Currently, there are about 2.4 million people on the list.
However, for Zhou Huaian, the Liangling area was too much of the sixty prefectures, and many of them had only one or two or two, and two or three county-level prefectures with a dull household registration; it was a waste and difficult to maintain administration and support officials.
Therefore, this time, after the basic geographical survey and graphic drawing and subsequent road construction were completed in the five-pipe area in the ridge, a corresponding round of mergers and abolishments would be carried out to be relatively streamlined to about twenty or so.
In addition, the Hunan Observation Division, which was occupied a little later, now the actual control of the seven states has reached 940,000 households; and the eight states of the Jingnan Jiedushi who were subsequently controlled, the actual control of the total number of households has reached 980,000;
Connected to this are the two states of Fu and Yu, which belong to Shannan West Road. However, due to the limited population, the local area is narrow and the cost of military maintenance on the front line of Yuzhou is still in a loss state where the input exceeds the output; it can be ignored for the time being.
In addition, there are two major Eyue Observation states in the territory of Eyue, located in the south of the Yangtze River, with a population of nearly 230,000. After some time of purge and rectification, the five prefectures controlled in Jiangxi Road have also become most of the eight prefectures in Jiangxi Observation states, with actual control of more than 760,000 household registrations;
Although the territory adjacent to Jiangdongchi, Run and Xuanzhou has not been directly expanded, it has absorbed a large number of exiles who have escaped due to the war between Jiangdong and Zhejiang, and the population has doubled to about 410,000 people.
In addition, the Dantu here went to Xunyang area and was one of the naval bases that the Taiping Army focused on investing and operating. It had at least five large transport fleets. It also had the sixth battalion of the Fifth Army's naval army to maintain its advantage on the Yangtze River waterway and to curb the tentacles of Huainan Town, Jiangbei, on the other side in disguise.
(According to the Taiping Army system, the chief of the ship is the rank of lieutenant, the 500-year-old ship is the rank of brigade commander, the 100-year-old ship is the rank of brigade commander, the 100-year-old ship is the rank of team commander and team deputy; then it is considered that several warships are organized into regiments/squads and a battalion of naval troops/warship detachments composed of several ships.)
Finally, the household registrations were sorted out by the eight prefectures in Shandong East Road after the newly occupied peace and pacified. Now the registered population under the Taiping Army has reached more than 7.6 million, with nearly 2 million household registrations being compiled.
Therefore, compared with the existing Taiping Eighth Army and the six major garrison defense zones, the proportion of seven or eight households to raise one soldier is almost the same as the number of troops in seven or eight households, of course, they are mainly the frontiers and garrison troops; as for the Jiansheng Army and the patrol team, which are semi-final self-sufficiency sequences, they can be ignored for the time being.
Among these young and strong people, the proportion of the elderly, weak, women and children is about three million, and the young and middle-aged people who can directly mobilize or indirectly provide labor. Among them, one-quarter and one-third are the high-quality population (reserve service) listed in the local villages and villages;
Apart from the seasonal human resources to maintain basic agricultural output and minimize the normal operation of factory mines; the Taiping Army can mobilize posts to supplement front-line losses and provide logistics support, which are about 300,000 to 400,000.
Of course, this is just the most ideal book data; the transportation, communication and transportation costs for collection and mobilization must be determined based on the distribution of specific personnel and the distance, and it takes a long or short time to reach a relatively ideal level.
In addition, among these potential reserves, they are also divided into skilled veterans who can be recruited again, second- and third-tier public security maintenance troops, young and strong people who have received basic military training, ordinary groups with basic collective life and organization, and several other ladder progressive sequences.
Of course, even if you want to mobilize them all, your current inventory equipment will not keep up. The reason is very simple. In order to ensure the transformation of the existing eight military orders, new and old factories from the Jianghan Basin to the Pearl River have been lined up with three shifts all the time.
The armored and military wars seized from Jiangdong, Huainan and other places were previously rebuilt and turned into new agricultural tools. Most of the remaining ones were supported or sold to the rebels in the north after renovation, as an important means of generating revenue to recover resources.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but sigh. His career has developed to this point, but the bigger he does, the more he feels that all kinds of resources are insufficient. In this era, it is much more difficult than a simple ambitious man.
Zhou Huaian felt it but couldn't help but put a little force on his hand, which made the girl who was pregnant and let her let her be so easy to exhale. Only then did he react and show an apology to the beauty.
"Does your husband only be a slave? I don't know where these... these... are so weird and weird."
With a trouser and a trouser dress, Yao Niang, who looks graceful and graceful, also has a delicate face and a gentle smile as her eyes turn, she accepts her fate and complains softly.
Zhou Huaian just smiled but said nothing, and his hands were stroking her with tender voices like a string falling from the plate, and he could no longer speak coherently.
As the saying goes, the fun and elegance of adding fragrance to the red sleeves. However, in addition to the ink that ordinary people imagine, there are actually more other fun places that are not humane. You should know that the upper-class people of this era are no worse than the "city play" in later generations.
For example, as the price of being willing to accept the loss in the recent game in the boudoir, in addition to contributing to the legs that can be enjoyed, on the upper edge of her erect light purple flowered porch patterned chest, there was a roll of spread out new ink papers like a bookshelves.
As Zhou Huaian breathed like Lanzhi in his ears, Wei Wei was shaking, and it seemed that some kind of warm, soft and round body temperature was revealed anytime and anywhere.
Of course, the so-called knee pillows, chest support, leg stand, leather cup and other methods that are close to her body are the limits she can bear at the moment. Although there are other further tricks and means, Zhou Huaian is reluctant to use it on such a quiet and elegant woman who is also aware of the same kind of knowledge and the same.
As the saying goes, big women have the benefits of big women, and little women have the magical uses of little women. Even women who are not big or small have corresponding beauty and mystery.
For example, the extremely light pendant will be like a teased puffer fish at this time, and will try your best to lift your feet like a rabbit kicking your chest; while the sensitive and delicate red medicine will be stubborn and twist and take off like a swimming fish, so that people won't catch it easily.
As for Qingluo, it is like a vine that is named. No matter what kind of request is, it will try hard, and then it will resist and intertwin and make people feel comfortable. When it comes to Yao Niang, it is a plump and tight treatment from head to toe, which is the type that can be played and licked.
At this time, an inappropriate voice sounded outside:
"Grandmaster, 100,000 people from the north came to report that Wuguan was attacked and suffered heavy damage. Shangluo Road was cut off."
——I am the dividing line—
In Guannei Road, the nails and strongholds of the government troops closest to the capital were all in Fengtian City, which was full of bleakness and solemnity. Zheng Ting, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was also silently looking at the abandoned most of the camps outside the city.
Although the thief army's offensive that more than half a year has never been able to push further from his vision, Fengxiang Town, with Fengtian as its core, has also paid a considerable price. The injury and exhaustion of soldiers is the best portrayal of their current situation.
Especially after the beginning of winter, the money and food transferred from Qishan Road became less and less again. Whether it was reinforcements from various northwest roads or local troops, they had accumulated a lot of complaints and dissatisfaction.
In fact, as the threat from the external thief army has temporarily disappeared, disputes and conflicts within the official army have gradually accumulated this winter. However, everyone has not dared to attack due to his prestige and means, and they have only fought for limited distribution of material resources in private.
But how long can this situation last? Even though Zheng Ting, who still holds a large army and bears the expectations of the world, feels more and more exhausted; when he returns to the mansion after patrolling the city walls and returning to his residence, he sees an acquaintance.
Dou Lusheng, the adopted son of Prime Minister Dou Lu, who escaped from Chang'an City, brought him an unexpected news.
