Chapter 803 Uninhabited Saibei at Dusk (continued)
Just like most sons of luck in the times, Yang Huayuan's life is full of the meaning of "don't bully the young and poor" and "thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi".
For example, it is very common to want both parents to die in this chaotic era, or to have only one of the whole family dies and go out to exile or become bandits. Moreover, when he started his family, he also followed others to risk his life to sell salt; it was different from Huang Chao's family, who had been rich for generations and could support scholars. His family was a generation of tenant farmers who were in danger of the court in Luzhou.
Therefore, even after Dongpu, a salt-trafficking business with a head tied to his belt, could not continue, he participated in the rural peasant riot between the Mianlian and Jianghuai. As a result, when he was defeated, the governor Zheng Qi untied his rope because of his strange appearance and changed it to a military force to guard the border.
This also became an important opportunity for his transformation in his life. Because he was born with great strength and good at running, he made a message to the officials. Through this experience of guarding the border, he not only changed from a son of a farmer who could not read a big word to a small leader who was familiar with writing, but also was able to meet and gather the first followers named "Thirty-six Township Party" among his comrades.
After returning home after the expiration, he did not hesitate to cut off the military officers who wanted to be sent to him to guard the border again. He gathered his troops to drive away the governor Lang Youfu to occupy Luzhou (now Hefei City, Anhui Province), claiming to be the commander of the Eighth Camps; he also bribed heavily to seek recognition from the Huainan Jieya; he began to make a fortune under the banner of the Huainan Jieya.
If he followed the trajectory of another time and space, he would continue to advance to Jiangdong after taking advantage of the chaos, defeating a series of internal and external enemies including Sun Ru and Liu Hanhong, defending the people and broadening the heroes and heroes, and gradually annexing the foundation of the Jianghuai River that spans the north and south of the Yangtze River. In the end, he followed the Central Plains court and became the strongest predecessor and origin of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the south of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Therefore, from another perspective, he is also a standard template for the ultimate achievement of emperors and generals in historical allusions. The evaluation from another historical line is also good. The first is to care for the people, the second is to be good at ease with soldiers, and the third is to be determined by a strong personality and fight repeatedly. He has no special talent in using troops, but he is indomitable and can always drag down the enemy.
Because he is good at judging the situation, he put down his figure and got to know the forces of all parties when he was weak, and win over and unite all the forces that he can use for himself; he can also seize the opportunity to make a big fortune after growing up, and even take ruthless measures to eliminate dissidents at critical moments, killing his subordinates and allies who have followed him for many years.
However, the Taiping Army regime created by Zhou Huaian in this time and space will no longer give him the opportunity to rise. However, unlike the bandit group like Liu Hanhong, which has a strong local thief color, Yang Xingmin's traditional heroic success template is not enough to rely on military strikes alone, and it also needs to cut off the foundation it depends on to cut off the foundation it depends on.
The subsequent "Three Detachments" and the trainees were prepared for this? As another destiny enemy and lifelong opponent who had first defeated him by his weak and strong many times, the first generation "King of Wu Yue" who defeated him by the weak and strong was arranged to preside over the situation in Jiangbei Hailing City, which was also to offset and prevent his potential halo of the son of luck, and the many variables and accidents arising from this.
As for the main force that Zhu Cun led the river to sweep east, it was instead the final means of insurance. As the saying goes, it is to despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the basic principles of tactical attention.
If the situation changes in the future or new situations need to be needed, the Jiangxi region and the Jiangdong Third Route, which was fully mobilized, can also reorganize and mobilize about 30,000 new forces (supplementary battalions) under the framework of Jiangling's dispatched officers' corps and old soldiers in a short time. However, the corresponding costs and costs will be increased several times.
Zhou Huaian was thinking about it so much when he saw a rush of Yu Hou sending him an urgent message. When he saw it, he smiled and said to his left and right:
"This Yang Hanzi didn't come enough last time, so this time he sent someone to ask for peace. He claimed that he would like to change his flag to be subordinate to the Grand Governor's Office and hand over the corresponding start of the war to offend the culprit?"
"What's the matter with him?"
Yang Shigu, who was handling the documents next to him, couldn't help but ask:
"Of course, I'm just sitting there and watching him get Yangzhou. I'm willing to hand over half of Shu, He, Lu and Yangzhou cities after this!"
Zhou Huaian smiled lightly:
"This guy is planning a good deal... Are these terms mostly false and untrue verbal benefits?"
Yang Shigu suddenly expressed his strange expression and sighed: The so-called three prefectures in Jiangbei is there. Could it be that he would not have taken it if the Taiping Army did not allow the Taiping Army to take it? As for half of the seizure of Yangzhou City, it would be a false head for anyone to say casually. But if he gained the status of the Taiping Army Grand Commander's Office because of this, he would have made great achievements.
"That's true, so compared to the delay I made last time, I'm afraid this time will be a new round of temptations; I probably want to find out the attention and importance of our Grand Governor's Office for this war..."
Zhou Huaian said little by little, but then he casually glanced at the last list of messengers and couldn't help laughing again.
It was Xu Wen, the righteous ancestor of Southern Tang. Is this another son of luck delivered to the door? Or is it that the Taiping Army is now in its infancy, and these heroes and heroes who have not yet emerged have to appear in advance?
Although this person, who was not as good as his adopted son, Xu Zhigao (Li Bian), was also a heroic figure in the world. Although Yang Xingmin was still alive and had no name and no military achievements, Yang Xingmin seized the opportunity to support the merits and power, and was also skillful and decisive, he quickly cut off all the old relatives and Yang family members in the same year.
Therefore, although he never became king, he firmly grasped the military and political power of the Yangwu power in Huainan as the prime minister during his lifetime, and was regarded as the founder of the Southern Tang regime. In terms of historical evaluation, he was a legendary figure who was good at forbearance, had a lot of cunning and pattern, and was better at governing than using troops.
However, he should still be in the dormant period, and even his adopted son Li Sheng had not had time to store it; so he was casually sent by Yang Xingmin as an envoy. Then Zhou Huaian made a decision and said:
"Give this messenger Xu Wen an extra courtesy, and then stay here as a witness in front of the army, and let the others go back to report the message..."
"This may damage the reputation of the Grand Commander..."
Luo Yin on the other side, instead hesitating, put down the signing brush and advised:
"Then let the first one Laozi Tianer go back, and stay here as a contact person for exchange... After all, it's the other side who has made a comeback, right?"
Zhou Huaian said without hesitation: Since the suspected son of luck who came to the door, would he still keep it for the other party to increase the bargaining chips?
Subsequently, a document submitted from the business department in the government affairs department step by step, and was jointly approved by the head Wang Qinian and the Jinghu Yingtian envoy Lu Fang, once again surprised Zhou Huaian and circulated to others.
"What do they want to do? Do they actively donate to support the army?"
Compared with the previous strategy of making all military merchants earn a lot of money, and then making another profit by redeeming them as the maturity, the Huainan War, which aims to be limited intervention and counterattack, has not issued more corresponding short-term military bonds and medium- and long-term camps and land and property official bonds.
However, under the rule of the Taiping Army, those who have already tasted the sweetness of the Taiping Army's attack, and some of the local backgrounds such as Lingdong, Annan, Jinghu and Jiangxi, were really unable to sit still and took the initiative to write a letter to express their willingness to do their best for the Taiping Army's cause. They also prepared a batch of valuable money, grain and materials for this, as the initial start-up of strategy and development of Huainan.
"Who is Wang Jiuhu, who is the top of the investment? He actually donated silver silk worth 200,000 yuan?"
Then Luo Yin also asked in a whisper:
Later, Lu Yan, Shushi, sent corresponding copywriting from the Social Mediation Department and introduced it to everyone on the spot:
"This Wang Dajia was born in the Wang family of Dingzhou, commonly known as Wang Jiuhu. He lived in the west city of Chang'an in his previous generation and became rich outside Jiashe. This time, he moved to Shannan (Hongdao) with the scholars and people in the pass, and bought more than a dozen places along the Danshui coast, becoming the leader among fellow merchants..."
"Even Wang Poxian and Haroha, the merchants in the pass who were originally from our army, were willing to surrender; and the Fengyi Federation, which was originally affiliated with, dispersed, and re-established the Xinyi Federation, which was headed by him..."
Wang Jiuhu, and Zhou Huaian suddenly remembered such a name; wasn’t this the Silk Road special program on CCTV that specifically introduced the legend of merchants in the Tang Dynasty. After the official army repelled Huang Chao and recovered Chang'an at the end of the Tang Dynasty, he took the lead in collecting 300,000 yuan to assist in the repair of the damaged Zhuque Gate to welcome Emperor Xizong of Tang to return to the court, and was able to spread the great merchants in later generations?
It is said that after the rebuilt Anguo Temple ordered by Emperor Xizong of Tang to be basically intact, he personally lowered the carriage and set up a fasting party. He deducted the new bell ten times and gave 10,000 guan. At the same time, he ordered the ministers to take their own intentions and said, "If anyone can give 1,000 guan, he will hit a hammer." As a result, the emperor's fasting party was about to end, Wang Jiuhu went in half drunk and went up the bell tower and hit a hundred times in a row, so that the western market in Chang'an would continuously transport 100,000 guan to Anguo Temple, creating a temporary legend.
However, in this time and space, he was unable to wait until Emperor Xizong of Tang returned to Beijing to flatter, so he was intercepted by many accidents and ran to the territory of the Taiping Army to make a living. You must know that it is not an easy thing to be able to get along with the rebels and the official army, and to protect their wealth alone, let alone transfer them safely and intactly south.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian nodded slightly and determined the other party's sex.
"We can attract a visit later... Although there is no need for this generation to donate money to support the army for the time being, other aspects can still be useful."
After all, in the social structure advocated by the Taiping Army, the power of merchants can certainly be used and utilized, but it must not be led by them as a corresponding interest orientation; at least under the order dominated by the Taiping Army, this is something that you should not even think about.
