Then, among the defeated soldiers who had fled into the camp under the city and gathered up again, some people hurriedly yelled this incoherently:
"We are defeated, we are all defeated. When the firearms of those peaceful thieves rang, their fellow robes fled like a landslide..."
"That was really a landslide! With a sound out of thin air, the entire mountain top fell down; in a blink of an eye, most of the people in the valley were buried."
"Those thief army attacked narrowly on the mountain pass. It doesn't matter how many people rushed up! After rushing again and again, the corpses had nowhere to stay..."
"When the lord was ruthless, he personally led people to rush over, but he heard a few loud noises, and they were all released along with more than a hundred soldiers, and even the body could not be snatched back..."
"Don't fight with thieves in the mountains anymore. These thieves are as good at climbing as monkeys, and they are good at fighting and fighting in narrow and rugged places; they are condescending and attacked if they are unprepared..."
"It is often difficult for our bows and arrows to shoot upside down to the other generation. Instead, we were killed and injured a lot without any cover; therefore, thieves dare to block the road with more than a dozen firearms, and our army can only rely on it. The players blocked and rushed to their deaths..."
"But when I finally reached the open place, the thief army has a thunderous firearm. Every time it sounds, it is a human card with broken flesh and blood flying... and even if it hides behind the earth and rocks, it is unavoidable to be injured... "
"There is another kind of arson in his generation. Once thrown out, you can burn a large piece of it. Even if water is splashed on it, it doesn't work. Then the brothers are blocked and separated! They can only do their own things. war..."
"How the hell should you fight this stubborn battle!"
However, these people have not been able to continue talking in the camp for long, and they have been taken down by the guards sent by Li Siyuan in the city. They also cut down more than a dozen people on the spot on the grounds of "monstering horror" and "causing troubles in the army." .
But in the face of Shi Jingsi himself who had returned from defeat, Li Siyuan, the general manager of the South Road March, couldn't cut it off. Because, he is not only one of the adopted sons named brothers, but also one of the three surnames of Shatuo, the core pillar of the Jin army, and the contemporary chief/captain of the Sager tribe.
—I am the dividing line of suffocation —
In contrast to the raging battle report training in Hedong, Zhou Huaian, who was in Chang'an City on Guannei Road, was in a calm and indifferent daily life, and proceeded step by step in his usual schedule. Even if news of a victory or a loss comes through by chance, he will deal with it calmly;
Because with the two key forces of Zhuge Shuang and Zhu Laosan in Henan and Hebei, the two key forces have taken refuge in succession; coupled with the pattern of influence from the Hezhong government to the Kanto area, they have been unimpeded through the Tongguan-Hangu Road, and the Taiping Army has You can pull out your hand to deal with the situation in Hedong with all your strength.
And according to the news captured from the front, the Li Yaer, who is regarded as the destined enemy with Lao San Zhu, is indeed the son of luck in history, even after defeating the frontier fortress, he still succeeded in attacking the land of Hedong. As the foundation, but the situation facing it is far different from another time and space.
According to the confession of Li Cunjin (Sun Chongjin), one of the adopted sons who went deep into Puzhou and was captured, the current Hedong court under the name of Jianxing Camp in Hedong Town has already compiled more than a dozen military orders of various sizes. Known as an army of one hundred thousand.
In addition, because of the loss of the Yanbei prefectures such as Yun, Lan, Wei, and Dai, which the three tribes of Shatuo depended on for their lives, the Daibei tribe moved to the land of Hedong between tens of thousands and tens of thousands. So now, with the power of Hedong Town, it is necessary to provide extra support for so many foreigners who don't know how to cultivate crops but only graze.
Therefore, the Jin army/Hedong army headed by the small court of Taiyuan had to attack Shangdang and Hezhong areas under the impetus of the situation, thinking of expanding their territory and eating and sheltering; in other words, the Hedong area is now empty. Fanreyou Fresh Flower's momentum and heart, however, lack the long-term strength and stamina in the strategic layout.
Therefore, it is still the same sentence. From a long-term perspective, time is on the side of the Taiping Army; even if there are occasional setbacks and losses, as long as he can block the offensive from Hedong, and he cannot get the opportunity to supplement and recuperate. Then there is a considerable probability that it will continue to weaken in the constant bleeding.
Therefore, for Zhou Huai'an at the moment, it is as important as the campsites and villages set up in Guannei Road and more than 20 prefectures in Gyeonggi; it is the three types of enrollment and rural education established on this basis. , The night school (central village) system is gradually rolled out.
It can be said that this is even more important than the former. Because the Yingtian Suo-tunzhuang system solves the immediate economic problems and the resources and manpower needed to reorganize and stabilize the world; the multi-level talent training mechanism formed by the rural school/night school system is to maintain the good functioning of the future political system The foundation lies.
Don’t underestimate these villages. There may be only a few dozen literate people in these villages, and the proportion of education in middle and higher schools may be further reduced, or even stop there; but there are tens of thousands in five roads and twelve roads. The overall cardinal numbers of the villages and camps of the plan are added together, which is a probability and scale that people cannot ignore.
Therefore, at present, we can consider meeting and filling the needs of the grassroots staff in the villages and towns. Those who have received the Taiping military-style ideas and ideas, as long as they are accumulated year by year in batches, will eventually reach a rationale. The transfusion process from bottom-up quantitative change to qualitative change is dictated by the general trend.
But at this time, the corresponding value and influence of those traditional literati and those retained under the old system will be further diluted and eliminated. In other words, people of insight will work hard to change and adapt under the sense of crisis of being replaced and abandoned, and then the initial goal of this education and training system will be achieved.
In the most ideal state, it has its own mature internal talent training system with three perspectives, plus an education system that selects and absorbs external knowledgeable people; it is like a pair of black and white sides of a yin and yang fish, as long as it operates properly. Within the framework, it will naturally lead to a virtuous circle of corresponding competition and interaction and promotion.
In addition, as the Guanzhong settled down, the corresponding new regime’s currency issuance department was constructed and perfected; and the further integration of the Feiqian/ticket number system with primitive financial functions such as deposit and withdrawal, exchange, lending, etc., has also entered the main agenda.
Of course, according to Zhou Huai'an's preliminary plan, this dual system of currency issuance and financial circulation will be independent of the traditional fiscal and taxation system; it will be a department directly under the branch and slightly higher than that of Zhu Cao; but It is also subject to daily supervision and policy guidance by the Government Affairs Federation composed of judges from various branches.
Through the initial establishment of the internal credit system, the government and private currency circulation needs are absorbed and digested; a series of chain reactions and follow-up problems that have been inevitably encountered and faced in all dynasties and dynasties are gradually eased and resolved.
The main manifestation is that after the country enters a period of population growth and output bursts after the country enters a rest period, due to the lack of circulating currency and substitute currency on the market, it is inevitable that "the low price will hurt the farmers" in the harvest year, and various currency tightening ( Money shortage) problem.
The so-called self-sufficient and self-sufficient small-scale peasant economic system of men’s farming and women’s weaving sounds a bit of idyllic beauty; but behind it is the rather fragile risk resistance ability and the lack of communication media for the realization of agricultural products and handmade products. A last resort product of lack of production and living materials.
In the nearly three hundred years of Tang I, why has it been officially recognized that silk and other insignificant things have been officially recognized as a substitute currency that can be popular? It is not because of the insufficient circulation of copper coins in the past, and the flourishing of private commerce, and the actual needs of the state to levy taxes that require enough equivalent objects.
But silk itself is not something that is resistant to storage and wear; coupled with the different quality standards of the wide, long, short and dense production area, this has led to various black holes and ills that have been extended in the process of national tax collection; it has become more severe. The apportionment to the people also greatly increased administrative costs.
Therefore, the Taiping Army also adopted a two-pronged strategy here. On the one hand, it is to absorb the potential wealth deposited by the private sector and the remaining wealth in the hands of the government and the people with the national credit paid for it; instead of being piled up in the home to grow rust and mold like in the past.
On the other hand, on the basis of increasing the development of copper mine output sources, more new money with excellent quality and low cost should be cast. To replace and eliminate all kinds of bad money, light money and old money in the market, as well as the circulation space of various generation currencies.
For example, in addition to rolling out the traditional Zouwen, Dangwu and Dangten copper coins in batches, large and small gold and silver coins with higher face value are introduced into circulation as a means of diverting the demand for bulk currency.
In this case, even if there are people who want the copper money to be used as a value-preserving or value-added copperware, it can only be the result of the loss outweigh the gain. And if you want to forge private money for profit, it is difficult to break through the low-cost advantages of large-scale industrial manufacturing and a variety of anti-counterfeiting methods
After all, compared to grasping the natural advantages of economic operation at the national level; just talking about the means of collecting seigniorage, who can compare to this era, has mastered the primary industrial production and high-capacity processing system, and What about the Taiping Army regime, which has multiple sources of materials
In a sense, how long a regime can maintain its strength and vitality also depends on whether the corresponding state of the country's financial operations and the development of the social and economic system can form a virtuous circle that matches each other.
After all, the transition from prosperity to decline and the final collapse of the past dynasties are all around the corresponding national financial and accompanying social and economic problems as the beginning, and in the success and failure of the efforts of reforms and reforms, step by step, they eventually become uncontrollable. The corrupt results.
Therefore, Zhou Huaian, who has a solid home team's experience and lessons and can refer to the successful final shift, since he can properly lay a good foundation at the beginning, why should he let him continue on the crooked and wrong path of history? (End of this chapter)
