Chapter 917: Chairman Ming's Restless Seat (Continued 2)
In the background of the "Planet Suite. Jupiter" hit by a solemn and thick chime bells and cloud boards, a team of young soldiers first stepped into the courtyard holding various flag guns, with a childish but heroic young soldiers on their faces; then they were wearing steel breastplate and shoulder pads, with knee covers, wearing a short gun on their heads, holding long-handed swords, axes, guns, and halberds, and awesome honorary veterans (guard of honor) teams with a strong and powerful aura;
Immediately afterwards were groups of people wearing sky-blue cloth-backed armor (cloth-surface iron armor), big helmets with fur-edged ears and faces, carrying long guns with spikes and ammunition equipment, and straight guards with neat steps. They were lined up with their backs and hands next to them, with their backs standing next to them.
Finally, Mu Haogu, the inner garden envoy who followed closely behind, was humble and obedient, leading a small group of servants holding incense burners, water bottles and wind lamps with humility and obedience. This was undoubtedly the highlight of his first public appearance in his new life. As a palace minister in the previous dynasty, he was turned against him because he failed to surrender the rebels, and he finally had the opportunity to continue to use it in the inner court of the new dynasty; isn't this the greatest blessing?
Just as he said in private about Zhang Chengye, one of the only two eunuchs and brother-in-law in the Great Governor's Office, who had only two remaining eunuchs and brother-in-law, that these people with incomplete limbs are like vines and cocoons born from the big tree of the Tian family. Therefore, after leaving the big tree, they are in a pile of dirty things; only when the big tree becomes more prosperous and prosperous can they climb higher and enjoy more luster and rain.
However, the authority of the internal officials since the Middle Tang Dynasty has been constantly strengthening its own flowers and leaves, and has continuously tightened the lush tree of the Tian family and sucked the bones and marrows. In the end, it can only bring about the end of the big tree withered and destroyed, and the epiphytic vines with it. This is also a personal experience he has drawn after he kept writing memoirs of the old palace and proofreading the daily notes of the past dynasties.
Thinking of this, he shouted with a long tail sound:
"The king is here!"
"Meet the King of Chu..."
"The king has tens of thousands of affair..."
"Good king..."
With the figure that was highly anticipated and expected in the door, all kinds of people in the courtyard bowed down in unison, competing to salute (official body) and worship (white body) and said: The female family members of the inner house led by Cao Hongyao also came forward with the maid, and said with respectful hands and sleeves:
"I welcome you to the king..."
"I have seen the king..."
"I respectfully ask the Lord..."
However, the next moment Cui Wanrong's eyes fell on the woman who bowed her head and followed her closely behind the man; to be honest, she secretly envied these servants who had been following Zhou Huaian for many years. Although the other party had a humble identity and was not justified, it was said that because of the toys and special utensils, it was said that because of the toys and special utensils, she was more relaxed in bed and could get more favors and closeness.
Zhou Huaian, who looked at this scene, was also quite touched. As a modern human nature that was used to the equality of everyone under the banner of socialism, he actually didn't like this kind of pomp and stadium; but most people in this era were very fond of this kind of thing, and he could only make some improvements while admonishing, such as removing those flower heads that have no practical meaning and adding corresponding characteristics to his appearance.
"No need to be polite, get up! I just came over and took a look on a whim."
Then he held Hong Yao'er and smiled at the Yingying and Yanyan who were dressed in colorful clothes in the courtyard and said:
"By the way, see if there are any new works or excellent works... and it is also a good story afterwards, right?"
"Thank you for your kindness, king."
Suddenly someone took the lead in thanking each other:
"No need to thank me, but I want to thank you..."
Zhou Huaian smiled slightly and said:
"You are all good servants and good children in the family, and you are more willing to come out to work for our governor's office; don't you dare to be the first of the times and the role models of women in the world? You must leave a note in history."
"The king has over-reputed it."
"The servant lady is ashamed of being a slap..."
"Grands return to the sea, and the humble concubine is frightened..."
Many women present were filled with tides when they heard this, but they could not hide their joy or their hearts. Zhou Huaian was also moved by what he saw:
After all, as living humans, both men and women naturally have their own positions and demands, and have corresponding personality tendencies and preferences; how to suppress their possible shortcomings and selfishness, fully utilize them, and demonstrate their abilities and excellence. This requires sufficient means of weighing and conditioning among the superiors.
After a few more symbolic encouragement and polite words, he was led to the back hall by Cao Hongyao, and then he left and spoke again:
"The people sent to Chang'an have sent messages. They have visited the Central Palace and have re-connected there..."
"That's fine...it can be seen how my mother is doing now..."
Cao Hongyao couldn't help but clench his fists.
"The central palace is in good spirits, but Huang Wang is watching it tightly, and most of the people around him have been replaced; so we still need to wait for the opportunity..."
Zhou Huaian continued:
"But I'm asking my husband to do my best to do my best. If this hinders the great cause of the governor's office, then you'll be dead."
Cao Hongyao sighed quietly:
"You can't say that! This is not your reason, but for my own consideration."
Zhou Huaian shook his head and said:
"Not to mention the others, you and I are one, and as the elders, Empress Cao has always treated her kindly and favorably; how can she stand by and watch the things in the central palace? Don't listen to the random speculations of those who speak out, and think that the Taiping Army is the most beneficial. Although the Daqi established by King Huang has had many rebellious and absurd actions in recent years, many people are still martyred for it."
After Zhou Huaian finished explaining the matter of getting out again, he sighed slightly. Although there was something soothing between these words, most of the content was sincere.
Now the four servants around him are missing a corner because of the pregnancy of the Skeleton Spirit (Yun Qing), but the remaining three are not idle either. For example, Nie Wushuang, who came to his house first, is responsible for the supervision of the inner guards and personnel training in the back house; while Jin Yaner (Jing Shisanniang) is responsible for the summary and sorting of news from the temples and palaces under the rule of the Taiping Army;
Ye Zhiqing (Yiying), who was once the last generation of Qixiufang, was responsible for intelligence collection and eyeliner management in many places of love and beauty. Although the Taiping Army no longer advocated the use of women as part of the intelligence work method, many notification partners have been developed among the corresponding industry practitioners;
The reason is also very simple. These places are derivatives of the development of ancient society, and they are endless by banning. Among them, people and others have many reasons for their employment, and they may not always force good people to become prostitutes. As the biggest advantage of the regime organization, they can not only provide protection at the legal and order level, but also give corresponding eyeliners and partners to re-arrange a new household registration identity when they want to get good people in the future.
Compared with means such as money, power, and concepts, this alone is enough to cause enough temptation and influence for most poor people who have fallen into chaos for various reasons or are forced to take care of their lowly careers for generations. Therefore, the intelligence network based on the rebuilt Qixiufang was quickly integrated, and even began to select new Qixiu members (in charge).
Therefore, even Pingkang Sanli, far away in Chang'an, has corresponding secretly developed spies and collaborators; the price required is to send some related people to the relatively safe south in advance. Therefore, being able to secretly contact the Central Palace is also the relationship that these secret lines involved in the industry and can be involved.
Before leaving in a hurry, as a disguised support and public statement for this reception, Zhou Huaian also left a poem written by later generations of Wang Anshi:
"It's quite strange that the plum blossoms are unwilling to bloom, but I don't know that I want to wait for spring to come.
The jade face in front of the lamp is covered with fragrance, and the spring appearance is won after the snow.
The poems are written in a clear way, and the red sleeves are full of fun.
If you look at the world and see this, you will only buy peaches and apricot plants."
Then, he returned to the Military Affairs Office as the headquarters of the wartime command. After all, the Battle of Huainan on the Eastern Front has basically ended, but another battle on the Northern Front before and after the beginning of spring has been inevitable.
Although the Taiping Army now has four or ten routes of manpower and material resources, after the Huainan Battle was basically over, the corresponding financial pressure did not decrease, but further expanded the deficit. Because the subsequent reconstruction of the two routes of Huainan, the establishment of the regime organizational structure, the face of the possibility of famine signs after war and plague, a large number of continuous investment is also required to achieve results.
Of course, relatively speaking, there is little problem with fiscal expenditure and allocation. Although as the territory continues to expand and the population is managed, the Taiping Army needs money in all aspects; but because the issuance and redemption of regular and irregular official bonds in recent years is quite good; therefore, it is completely no problem to use the property monopoly share in Huainan for several years as a guarantee, and an additional military bond issuance issuance.
It is just that if we want to convert these financial resources that are paid from the people into corresponding resources, materials and manpower efficiency; at the same time, when the ship is not easy to travel during the dry winter and are blocked by multiple land areas, the reserves of grain and fodder in four or ten prefectures and counties, military supply warehouses and transfer warehouses are mobilized and gathered into designated areas, which requires considerable preparation cycle and time buffering.
Therefore, so far, a 6,000-man advance team has been mobilized from the standby reserve team in Shandong East Road to mobilize and form a first batch of aid and intervention points in the pass. At the same time, it is also for the re-launched military system and war machines to adjust the direction of the Taiping Grand Commander's Office to gain more time and buffer.
