Compared with the farce outside the city gates; in the Daxingshan Temple in Chang'an City. A new batch of officials who are about to take office in various places in Guannei Road, Zhou Huaian is also under the attention of the people at the thousand-member meeting; the first political opening in Guannei, titled "The History of Rise and Fall" Lessons:
"The collapse of all dynasties and dynasties all started from the economic crisis of system corruption and financial exhaustion; the powerful people in the upper ranks were extravagant, while the small people became more and more troubled, and the officials and officials gathered more and more surnames..."
"The result is the most obvious symptom, but the country and the court can't spend more money and spare energy to deal with natural disasters and man-made disasters; therefore, every time the central government levies more, it is the local gathering and exploitation of ten times and dozens of times. ..."
"Popular grievances are rampant to seek survival, and they have to labor the court's money and food soldiers to suppress and eliminate them; however, the sword can kill the flesh of the hungry, but it can't kill the endless natural and man-made disasters."
"So, on the one hand, the country's financial resources are declining and there is no levy, and on the other, the local surnames are taking advantage of the situation and becoming bigger and bigger. The world will naturally move toward the end of the world."
"Therefore, this is also the biggest test of our Taiping Army before the new wave is about to be established. How to avoid the repeated mistakes of these generations, and make Guozuo go further through the generations and catch up with the ancient three generations. rule?"
"After all, the world's reproductive life is endless and the land is full of power, and even the crowds are hungry and fighting in the wild. This is the reason for involution, and it is also the cause and effect of the cycle of chaos in the world..."
"Many people in the world do what they want, and they want to look forward to the land for their children and grandchildren. It is hard to fill in their desires. This is what people want; and the flow of thousands of people is endless. It is not for Yao's joy or sorrow.
"Does it mean that politicians should be good at regulating yin and yang, so that the principles of nature and human desires complement each other's development, rather than becoming a way of internal friction between survival and death, or filling in the roots and signs of the onset of man-made disasters?..."
"The specific manifestation is to promote production and industry within the country, exhaust the rationale for the management of equipment, and strive to improve the efficiency and output in the world to meet the increasing domestic demand; it is the way to live and work in peace and contentment."
"Externally, it is forging ahead. With the country's remaining power in the Pacific year, we can levy the gains from outside the world to make up for the gaps in the world; this is the long-term way of the cycle of the cause."
"Therefore, the politicians always emphasize that the gentleman is ashamed of his words, that is, he is biased and easily divorced from reality and world conditions; otherwise he will not become a dull and corrupt philosopher who is deceived by people; he is a generation of ulterior motives with ulterior motives..."
"Therefore, not only should not be ashamed to speak up, but also understand more about the interests they seek. Embezzlement and perverting the law are for self-interest, and benefiting the people's livelihood is the benefit of justice..."
"Not for the benefit of one family and one family, but for the benefit of the whole world, for the benefit of all beings and all people, as a basic code of conduct,"
"Han Wu Yingming I, in the end, he still couldn't escape to sin against himself? Because what he did in his later years has deviated from the common interests of the whole world of family and country."
"Xingshi mobilized the crowd to expedition to Outland, and the gains were only a few horses that were used to promote martial arts and decorate the appearance of the heavenly family. Naturally, they can't escape the name behind such great achievements and poor soldiers; this is selfish desire..."
"But if you open up a business route for this purpose and travel far to the outside world for the benefit of mutual exchange, you will naturally have Zhang Qian's name for the Western Regions to survive; or Chen Tang, Ban Chao's presence outside the territory, for the sake of the stability of the frontier. Take it for justice. ."
Speaking of this, Zhou Huai'an once again scanned a circle of people with different expressions, and finally concluded:
"The Taiping Army has walked to the bottom of the present day, only to verify and explain one result. Since the Han Dynasty, the gentry and clansmen should have swept into the dust of history long ago. Now that it can be taken seriously, isn’t there any teaching? Are "classes" and "only talents"?"
"As the sons of man, what is the ability to be proud of your former family and surname? Isn't the real ability to create a generation of achievements with your own hands, and let the family and surname of future generations be proud of you?"
As a result, the turbulent sentiment that erupted on the spot and the echoes that almost overturned the huge zenith were like a tidal wave; the chief officials and subordinates of the Taiping Army Metropolitan Governor's Office who were listening to it inevitably revealed many subtleties and complexities. Emoji come.
Most people still think that this is a matter of course or a matter of course; the establishment of the new dynasty system and the composition of the civil and military officials are not based on the bones and remains of these prominent old dynasties
But there are also people who express "slightly embarrassing" or "helpless" emotions; because they themselves are directly or indirectly from the old dynasty system, or have been involved in characters. But it will stop there at best.
After all, this is for those people who have taken a certain sense of advancement and opportunities in the new dynasty system; it is also a disguised cut off from more similar backgrounds and continue to become their competitors and threats in the new dynasty system. Opportunity.
Although this declaration was basically publicly sentenced, including the death penalty of the five surnames and Qiwang who had been deeply involved with Li Tang, and many aristocratic families in their official careers; but in the case of Wei today, the family members who are already struggling are also Just to cover the last handful of grave soil.
After all, with the determination and strength possessed by the Taiping Army regime today, it is sufficient to eradicate any opposition and resistance in the world; even in the Han Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the highest morale of the noble family may not be able to stop it.
There are also worries and speculations. This declaration may represent that after the establishment of the new dynasty, the king’s certain kind of determination is called forge ahead, and the determination to wipe out the nine sides of the barbarian; saying that having to listen to it may be the trend of military violence. And determined to have the intention of seeing and making comments.
At the same time, in Anyi City, which is hundreds of miles away from Chang'an, at the junction of Puzhou and Jiangzhou, Wang Chongrong, who was able to lead his soldiers to return home with Starry Night, unexpectedly received a bad news:
The battle lines that have been maintained since Qinzhou (now Qinyuan, Shanxi) and Fenzhou (now Fenyang, Shanxi) have completely collapsed a few days ago.
Wang Shouyu, a veteran general in the river and the Fenzhou defense envoy of his clan, and Li Qun, the Xizhou soldiers and horse envoys of Wang Chongrong who have experienced many battles; the 20,000 troops who resisted each other and set up a stronghold in the city; In front of the Hedong/Shatuo army, he could not resist for long.
Soon there was a Shatuo army bypassing Shizhou in the east of Taiyuan Mansion, and with the cooperation of the local people, it crossed the dangerous pass and barrier of Shilou Mountain, broke into the back of Xizhou and robbed Yonghe, Daning, and Pu counties; and Attacked the Liangtai hub at the rear of Yindiguan in Jinju.
As a result, under the sway of the enemy’s unsuccessful people on the back road; Li Qun, a soldier and horse envoy of Xizhou who led troops from Shihuiguan all the way to Jiexiu City of Fenzhou, suddenly attacked and captured the local Fen. The state defense made Wang Shouyu surrendered the Hedong/Shatuo army on the spot.
The gate to the north of Hezhong Town was opened, and the Hedong/Shatuo army was in the Fenshui River Basin, and they went all the way to the Linfen city under the rule of Jinzhou and besieged them; they divided their troops to attack Cizhou, Jiangzhou, and Qinzhou. .
In a blink of an eye, the huge Hedong Township was already mostly occupied, and only the incomplete Hezhong Mansion itself was left.
But what makes people feel even worse is that the Changxing Confucian Branch, who was in charge of suppressing and sitting in Jiangzhou, suddenly requisitioned/looted all the inventory of salt and wealth that had not been sold this year when passing by the big salt pond in Xie County. .
As a result, what Wang Chongrong now has to face is the empty warehouses in Anyi and Xiexian, the tributaries of Changxing Confucian who are temporarily missing; and the 15,000 soldiers who are waiting to be fed or waiting to be rewarded. (End of this chapter)
