And in the city of Guangfu where the climate is still cool,
In the large workshop, which has expanded again to occupy almost one area, a new batch of accelerated students’ graduation ceremony was once again ushered in the faint and uneven sound of oaths and slogans; and this group is mainly Concentrate on the two subjects of financial accounting and newly-added official affairs.
Although they are just a few months to half a year's crash course students, they still include some in-service members who have obtained the qualifications for retraining in the school. However, it is still the current left-behind divisions, Zhucao, and the various departments and institutes under their jurisdiction as sought-after objects; because their applicability and scope of use as low-level clerks are much broader than imagined.
Therefore, the current Academy of Finance and Accounting and its branch of the Academy of Civil Affairs are among the many departments and local staff of the six Cao Cao in the Cantonese government, second only to the existence of the agricultural official training system. However, as another great news came back recently, a new after show was added to their graduation ceremony.
It is to pick up the newly made drawing boards and nameplates of various colors, and form a line with the students who are still training but temporarily on vacation, and go to the streets and lanes in the city of Guangfu to represent the Taiping Army’s victory again. The momentary celebrations and parades along the street boasting success.
And on the top terrace of the largest building in the workshop, the library building, I watched the students who spontaneously gathered on the street and followed them, holding various flags and plaques, singing loudly, reading something, and like The confluence of rivers generally continues to join the parade and celebrations throughout the city, making the atmosphere more intense.
"The officials of the court have been defeated again... They are already the third man who lost his teacher Yubi..."
Pi Rixiu, who was living in disguised seclusion/house arrest, also sighed at his friend Lu Guimeng who had come to visit him:
"Is it really so unbearable today? Then Liu Jurong is also a well-known Sushou commander in the North. Is it possible that the candidate appointed by the Chang'an New Commission for crusade is not so fair..."
Although he made this kind of exclamation in his mouth, Pi Rixiu's heart was already flat. In fact, after seeing the deeds of these peaceful thieves, he was no longer particularly surprised by the failure of the officers and soldiers, or that he did not have any special expectations.
After all, as a member of the grass thief who had worked hard to gather the grass thief's heart to the court, he had witnessed with his own eyes how this imaginary leader had never made a single defeat since the beginning of the tide. No matter it was the local army regiments that were against him, all kinds of officers and soldiers, or even the former friendly forces, they have never been pleased.
From Lingdong to Lingxi, from Lingxi to Annan, and then from Annan to Hunan, the imperial court's various guards, large and small, have already captured or beheaded the double ten; He knows that in the courtyard near this library, there are several special prisoners who are close to the court or who once held their positions. Now, driven by various factors, they are being forced to serve as Taiping military in disguise. It's hard work in the industry.
"This is simply the way of farming and warfare in the ancient pre-Qin and Han dynasties, the whole country, the people, the army, and the officials in the history books..."
Compared to the faint unwillingness that still exists in his complicated mentality, Lu Guimeng, who seems to have accepted his fate, showed much more open-mindedness and accommodativeness.
"Being good at farming to get an official, accounting for the performance of the staff, advocating the cultivation of goods as an income, using craftsmanship as a convenience... Just a clear sentence is awarded to advocate the beheading of the army, breaking the enemy, and granting land seals. The rank of military meritorious service is now..."
"It's a pity that he is too harsh on scholars, tycoons, big clans, and outsiders... After all, it's a pity for people..."
Pi Rixiu continued to sigh.
"It's not conducive to a long-term eclectic path..."
"So what? It's just the origin of the Faer of the two Han dynasties. Since the ages of Han Gao, Wenjing, and Emperor Wu, there is no way to suppress the powerful and restrain the big family and the aristocratic family..."
Lu Guimeng, who seemed to have cultivated a bit of spirit, was disapproving.
"The competent officials at the time, wasn't that one who was known to have broken the family and was stained with the blood of the great family? As for the destruction of the ban on the rituals and the promotion of education, it has been allowed since ancient times. Fang De Gouquan and the state's decree can be prospered..."
"Nowadays, it is nothing more than the rise and fall, and the principle of resolving chaos. It has reached an unchanging state, which is not enough to survive.... Even if there are some radicals and urgency, it is contrary to morality. It's reasonable..."
"It can be said that "The Second Chapter of Mencius" has a saying: if you enter, you will not be able to help you, and if you go out, you will be invincible. The country will die. Isn't it because of the current situation... At least this gentleman can treat the people of Li, and drive them. There will be no more hungry, death, and road trips in Xingye."
"Isn't it more than my heart to study farming and produce, but from the beginning to the end can not change people outside of my body, but the deceased body that has been convicted and jailed is more than a thousand times better..."
Speaking of this, Lu Guimeng said quite solemnly.
"So now I have made a certain decision, and since then I have accepted the requisition as deputy Liu Sicang Cao Zuo, co-director of the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Farming. Years, what to do for this hungry and distressed world;"
"If we can continue to supplement and compile these "Tai Ping Nong Yao" and "Tian Dian", and continue this knowledge that can benefit future generations, then it will be more worthwhile. Instead of relying on those who are not full and warm. , The poetry and essays that cannot settle down, to promote some vague reputation..."
Hearing this, Pi Rixiu did not have a face full of stunned and surprised, but he did not know what kind of encounters and experiences, and actually made this old man who has always been thinking about the people’s livelihood and wanted to learn from agriculture. Friends, such a change and determination have actually taken place.
"On the contrary, you need to open your eyes more to see the general changes and trends in this world."
However, Lu Guimeng turned into a bitter and sincerely persuaded him:
"Since you and I can't escape your reputation as a thief, do you still have room to expect to be alone in this world..."
"Don't you like to see with your own eyes what the Taiping army is in the chaotic world where the thieves are swarming, and can rely on this constantly supplementing and compiling "Holy Kudhidu" and "Heavenly Land System", step by step to go against the current. The point is..."
"Perhaps what Brother Lu Wang said is righteous..."
When I think of the faces I saw in the exile farm, they were obviously stuck in the hardships of life but under a certain hope, the faces that did not lose their smiles; Pi Rixiu could not help but feel deeply moved in his heart, and a little discouraged. Slumped.
"I'm a little stubborn."
. . . . . .
The aftermath of the Jingmen battle in Jiangling City was to dilute and cover up another major news related to the rebels. That's right, after a period of brewing and dissemination, the results of the Shinju War finally spread to the city of Gangneung, which caused a variety of responses and linkages.
The old members of the rebel army and the elderly, including Zhu Cun, Cao Shixiong, Wang Chongba, Gao Jichang, Zhang Juyan, and Guo Yan who have joined the Taiping Army now, are unavoidably a little complicated and react differently. But when they came to Zhou Huaian, headed by Zhu Cun and Cao Shixiong, they got an unexpected answer when they planned to ask for ideas and instructions.
"This is a great thing. Why should we ignore and downplay the handling? It is even more inadvisable to block news..."
Zhou Huaian said to them indifferently.
"Isn't this a great thing in the common cause of our rebels seeking life for the people and for all living beings? It not only dampened the arrogance and momentum of the imperial court and official dogs, but also greatly increased our prestige and ambition to join the rebel army? .. It can also inspire the toiled people in the world, and continue to fight against the gods..."
"Even if there are differences and misunderstandings in the past, but in overthrowing the oppression and exploitation of the imperial court, the government, and the big family, and recreating a Qingping world where everyone can live on their own strength, in the general basic direction, are we not in agreement with the outside world? Stance..."
"What's more, King Huang also has the old support for me. Even if there are similarities and differences in the course of action, and eventually parting ways, they are not all part of each other, but I still dare not forget the basic principles of cold lips, cold teeth and mutual help..."
"Even if you are in danger in the future, if you have the opportunity, you still have to find a way to reach out and wait for the opportunity to pull up more or less; I know you have some past experiences and feel uneasy. But for me personally, even if others can do it in the future. I'm not benevolent, but I can't ignore love and justice."
"It can be said that it is public and private, and there is no need to treat and deal with it differently... Therefore, not only do we have to send people to congratulate, but also to celebrate in the local area..."
"I will follow the teachings of the leader..."
The presence was suddenly filled with emotions and emotional echoes
"But I waited for Meng Langhe to worry too much..."
"Brother Zhu will take care of this matter. Whether it is money or labor, you can just greet you if you need it...
Then Zhou Huaian added.
"Be sure to make this good news in the shortest possible time, so that the Rebels can reach everyone knows..."
"Brother Cao will take a trip on my behalf, and send the newly seized ordnance, 30,000 pallets of grain and grass and 20,000 felt blankets to Huang Wang's current authority as a congratulatory ceremony...
"See if you understand, have you heard clearly, this is the basic aura and mind for wanting to do great things into great deeds." .
After turning around, Zhu Cunnai sighed loudly to the others
"Is there anything to say now? Does anyone want to envy the benefits and interests of King Huang? ... Hesitating and vacillating is the big taboo of being a subordinate..."
"If you can't settle down and clarify your position and attitude to this point, it's really better to ask for it early; so as not to harm and implicate other aspiring people..."
Of course, let's ignore the reactions and linkages afterwards; the internal information and reasons during this period are not purely Zhou Huai'an's temporary attitudes and talks.
The more real situation is that when I heard that Huang Chao's main formation suddenly turned defeat into victory under Xinzhou City from the adversity of being beaten by the Huainan army; Zhou Huaian was simply lucky and helpless with mixed feelings. Obviously, he had been driven by him all the way before, and the wheel of history was at this key node, and it was crushed back on the track he was familiar with.
This Huang Chao is the son of temporary luck with the burden of the gravedigger in the late Tang Dynasty and the historical mission of opening a new chapter in the Five Dynasties; indeed, he is not so easily defeated and destroyed. However, although the whole process was tortuous and the result was unexpected, the overall trend and direction are still relatively beneficial to Zhou Huai'an and the Taiping forces.
For this reason, he doesn't mind ordering the investment of limited resources for this purpose and conduct corresponding publicity and celebration activities. Of course, to grasp the corresponding tone, it is to act as a potential ally on the same level as the Rebel camp, and to carry out corresponding activities from the standpoint of supporting assistance; it can also be regarded as further cutting and clearing the past affiliation. .
Because according to Zhou Huaian’s limited vague memory, after Huang Chao has passed a major difficulty and bottleneck period in this rise, he will once again usher in a new round of volunteer career and a huge outbreak of the corresponding life;
At least before he completely fought in Chang'an and scared Tang Tianzi out of Xichuan, there was no decent force that could or was willing to become his hindrance and resistance. This also includes the famous general known as the last of the late Tang Dynasty, known as the "Tiannan Dingzhu" and "Half of the Kingdom", but in his later years he was stunned and stunned because of his old age, and he was eventually exposed to Huainan by his subordinates' rebellion. The knotty makes high pian.
And in the near future, before he leads his army across the Yangtze River and the Huai River northward, he will not accidentally sweep and clean it up directly or indirectly, and the imperial army and government at all levels in the vast southeast area will strive to maintain the ruling order.
As a result, those who have been subject to the righteous status of the imperial court, various local forces and ambitious generations of monsters, ghosts and snakes, have untied their shackles and restrictions to come out to fight, attack, and invade each other, and finally decide a group that can step on. The momentary heroes, emperors, generals and heroes on the big stage of the subsequent era will come.
However, this is also the greatest opportunity and a fleeting window of time that Zhou Huai'an and the Taiping forces can grasp right now. Compared to a spine of Beigou and the death of those towns who are still loyal to the imperial court, is there a soft persimmon that is better than cleaning up and taking over the mess left by a pile of yellow nests.
Therefore, you can be more calm and generous, showing the basic attitude of showing goodwill and seeking common ground while reserving differences with Huang Chao's main formation; it can also avoid this in case this day can't think about it or is instigated by his brain convulsed subordinates, and abandon the northward strategy. To stay in the south to compete with the Taiping Army for the general trend, it really makes people Teddy Huskies.
However, as if the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind was not stopping, there was news of an even bigger surprise the next day, but the court sent an envoy again. (End of this chapter)
