"What's wrong with Li Siyuan? Can't even hold on to this excessive period of one month?"
Zhou Huaian asked casually: This is Tang Mingzong's tiger and wolf hero after doing it on another time and space line, but he doesn't know how many surprises and surprises he can give himself in this era of demonic reform
"It was someone who pretended to be the messenger of my Taiping Army and wanted to deceive the door and steal the city. But in the end he was seen through by that Li Siyuan, and after a bitter battle, he was destroyed; but it is inevitable that the losses are not small, and they are gradually going to be lost. The situation is out of control."
Li Shicheng showed a wry smile once again:
"Now that Jingxing and Feihuxing have changed hands, under the persuasion of Zhang Wenli, the descendant general of the Shangdang Zhaojun, the four states of Zhao, Ci, Xing, and Ming, which are adjacent to Taihang North Road, have already had local guards who have lost their sincerity to our army. ;"
"It's the other four states of Hebei, Shenzhen, Yi, and Ding located in the hinterland of Hebei. They were still under the leadership of Li Honggui, who claimed to be the capital of soldiers and horses, to fight against Zhenzhou (Zhenzhou). The internal situation here is what Fu Xi called a member of his subordinates who rushed in."
"and so?"
Zhou Huaian continued to ask:
"So according to what it said, within a short period of time, the gates of Zhending Mansion were closed and the inside and outside were lost. Occasionally someone outside the city came close and spied, and they heard the vaguely hissing shouts. At the same time, the bloody numbers inside the canal flowed outside the city. Days are endless."
Li Shicheng concluded:
"The rise and fall are the suffering of the people!"
Zhou Huaian sighed again:
"Li Siyuan may have his own way of taking death, but ordinary people are innocent. Anyway, it is also an important human resource for rebuilding the country and developing productivity in the future. There is no need for too many unprovoked deaths and injuries!"
Then he turned his head to the waiting Yu Chang Mi Bao standing beside him, and the army waiting to join the army:
"The draft was sent to Chai (Ping) Zhonglang, who is presiding over follow-up matters in the Daming Mansion (Weizhou), and asked if he could organize a special teacher to come and find a way to get closer to the Zhending Mansion, to find out the local situation and Waiting for the opportunity..."
"Ask me again Cao Xiang of the Tianping Army and Zhuge Zhongfang of the Heyang Army, can their subordinates still be able to move? If they can, try to contain the enemies of Jizhou and Dingzhou; at least not make them. Leave the defense easily..."
"Also let Ge Congzhou, who is in Daibei, send a troop from Puyinxing into Dingzhou; Xu Yi, who has taken over the territory of Shangdang, also split a troop from Jingxing into Zhenzhou (Zhending Mansion). ) Within the territory; try to obtain a forward stronghold."
After laying out these countermeasures, Zhou Huaian also sighed secretly. With the unification of the world imminent and only a few corners left, the rhythm of the war between us and the enemy has suddenly become more rapid. The strategic deployment of steady and slow progress in the plan is always disrupted by endless accidents and variables.
Fortunately, the foundation accumulated by the previous efforts to recuperate and farm the rioters is still relatively solid and stable. Even with several additional unplanned budgets and additional mobilizations, the general production and construction projects have not been affected. Therefore, the cost of fighting another big battle in a short period of time can still be obtained.
On the other hand, the eleven prefectures in Chengde Town may regain the final decisive place in the Central Plains and the large-scale combat opportunity to lead the world; therefore, whether it is in Hebei or the surrounding Taiping Army The troops and their generals were a little impetuous and radical.
Among the three towns in Hebei, the most powerful and powerful town is undoubtedly Lulong Town; and the most populous and richest town is Weibo Town; but the largest and most resource-rich town is originally located in the eight states. It also annexed Chengde Town of Yi Ding Army and Zhao Yi Army.
Therefore, in a short period of time, a relatively large increase in the fiscal deficit and the cost of misappropriating construction project support are achieved, and the legacy of Chengde Town, including most of the population resources, is relatively well obtained; the relative advantages outweigh the disadvantages. But the premise is that it cannot last too long, otherwise it will affect the progress of other fronts.
After all, there is no shortage of people in the Metropolitan Government House nowadays. There is a lot of talk about the Taiping Army’s use of soldiers and almost no day to fight; especially for the Southwest (Nanzhao), Northwest (Hehuang), and Liaodong (Silla). , Has clearly belonged to the continuous investment in external warfare, and there have been voices of doubt.
After all, due to the limitations of their own vision, most people in this era can see the reality of the unification of the world and the urgent need for rest and rejuvenation and strength; and they feel that the corresponding conquest can be put in the future, a few years or It is more than ten years of preparation and planning; there is no need to act in such a hurry or rush to make contributions.
Naturally, there is no concept of a limited strategic window under the premise of being a cross-era traveler familiar with the historical trend. It’s just that Zhou Huaian’s authority and confidence accumulated by the continuous victories and construction results since Zhou Huai’an has set up troops has made people not dare to openly question and refute the corresponding strategic vision and long-term layout.
However, this is not a good thing for a well-functioning political organization. Everything has a bottom line and scale that is too low; once it exceeds, it becomes the inertia and dependence of blind faith; this is undoubtedly for the development of the future regime. It is to plant a huge hidden danger; because knowing history and having a long-term perspective does not mean that you will not make mistakes.
As long as it is a human being, it is impossible to be flawless or never to be missed. As the supreme leader at the national level, whether it is in specific matters or policies, the results of being implemented and amplified by levels of execution after making mistakes are also particularly impressive and disastrous.
As the supreme leader in charge of everything, Zhou Huaian today needs to focus on and be responsible, mainly in the six major areas of military, intelligence and diplomacy, personnel/supervision, finance and missions. As for other aspects, it is also randomly selected and questioned, or judged and directed to specific problems.
After all, he can't ensure that his children and grandchildren will also be able to handle affairs in a high-efficiency way, taking into account both quality and quantity. After all, the modern traverser is just an example. The later Ming Taizu Daddy Pig was full of workaholics and control desires. The various moths that evolved in the subsequent dynasties are the best examples and lessons.
On the contrary, this kind of regime structure evolved from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, which reversely restrained and restricted the extension of the reckless monarchy in the classical feudal era. At the same time, it more or less ensured a relatively stable centralization and imperial power as the core of the ruling structure. ; As long as it is supplemented and maintained according to the changes in form and the expected future development direction.
Therefore, even if some of the offspring are slack in politics; but as long as there is no more monopolistic power like Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, with the country's large human and material resources and the circulation and elimination mechanism of normal talent selection, most of the problems have their own problems. Go to the bottom of the limit, and not break down step by step to the point where it is really hard to deal with the final result.
Therefore, in the future framework of the new dynasty that Zhou Huai'an anticipates, the power to bear the brunt of the operation of the state power in the future will be further refined to the thirteen branches and the heads of various directly affiliated departments, and they will form a special governing coalition. Meetings (Political Affairs Hall) to discuss and decide on the daily matters of the operation of the country.
The thirteen division chiefs were directly promoted and followed the six previous systems called Shangshu and Shilang. The chiefs of the departments directly under Bitong’s Nine Temples and Five Supervisors were the chief and deputy chiefs; among them, one person was selected to coordinate and preside over the meeting. Several deputies guarding the ruling coalition are called the Prime Minister's Affairs Minister and Deputy Minister; Bitong Zhongshumen ordered and the servants to shoot.
Therefore, the emperor attending the ruling joint meeting usually only finalizes the approved resolutions based on the pre-reviewed joint meeting issues, or makes a ruling on the disputes in it, or makes decisions on major issues involved in emergencies. Rough instructions will do.
However, while the emperor can leave the ruling council’s decision without issue or reject it for reconsideration; as the Prime Minister’s Minister and the deputy ministers themselves have reached an agreement, the emperor’s instructions and decisions regarding the content of the ruling conference are also the same. Possess the cheap right to refuse to return to the eunuch; in order to re-communication and weigh.
In addition to the ruling joint meeting, there is the inner court meeting convened by the supreme leader himself; that is, it directly accepts the six major areas of military, intelligence and diplomacy, personnel/supervision, finance and mission, and their corresponding responsible persons. Special report or a joint meeting convened according to the specific situation.
However, as a kind of preferential treatment and privilege, a few designated political leaders, including the prime minister, can also attend joint meetings convened directly by the emperor. In order to decide on the matters of cooperation and coordination in the ruling coalition, such as launching wars abroad or local counter-insurgency, and implementing border policies such as land reform and repatriation.
In this way, a structure of checks and balances that overlap with each other and are relatively independent has been formed in the inner court meeting and the foreign ruling meeting;
At the moment, as an example of special preferential treatment with qualifications for observers, there are only three candidates; for example, the chief military Ziyi Yang, who has just moved from the post of ambassador for the aftermath of the Sanchuan Bingxiajiang Road in Jiannan, to Luoyang to report on his duties. Shi Gu. There is also Luo Yin, the director of missions, and Fan Chuo, the chief judge of the civil servants and the left Senator.
Then, as the national armed forces, the army, while being basically decoupled from the government system, also followed the basic framework under the Taiping Metropolitan Government:
That is, wartime command and theater garrison (discussing generals, dismissing normal generals, defense officers), daily affairs management (all military generals, left and right generals, and generals), personnel and finance (Yuhousi and military Department of Planning), Discipline and Supervision (Defensive Division and Picket Division of the Military Division), equipment and logistics supplies (Department of Materials and Administration and Management Division) are relatively separated.
