The winding team couldn't see the beginning and the end at a glance. In addition to the peace soldiers in armor and sticks, there were also many ordinary people in gowns or gray cloth quilts.
Those who returned with the army were thousands of medical craftsmen and other professionals from Huainan; several batches had been transported through the Yangtze River before this, and this is the last batch that can be found. Up.
You know, Lianghuai is, after all, the most prosperous and prosperous place today. Compared with other places, there are not many wars and famines. Therefore, the cultural heritage accumulated in the past dynasties is quite rich.
It's just that in the process of siege of the city, most of the rebels only cared about the most intuitive food and supplies and the Ding Zhuang that could be used for the army; other potential values could not be ignored or ignored. This gave the Taiping Army the opportunity to follow behind in the name of helping the battle, and to pick up the leaks casually to enrich the foundation of the rear.
After all, in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, whether there are sufficient numbers and proportions, basic education or skilled practitioners, is a particularly important indicator of whether an emerging power and government are functioning healthily and have sufficient development potential. .
Compared with the vast majority of the agricultural population in this era who can only be used for the most basic and crude labor, they are the easiest to transform into intuitive productivity bonuses, or the existence of short-term results through organization and arrangement.
This is like the latter known as a populous country, under the caste system, slaves, and remnants of feudalism, under the oppression of the caste system, the illiterate labor force occupying the majority of the population; and China, which also claims to be a populous country but compulsively complete nine-year compulsory education from bottom to top The effects that can be exerted in an industrialized society are completely incomparable results.
Of course, Ah San also has the spiritual victory method known as the Pearl Seed Oil, and the bonus to the solidification of the caste class for generations, so he feels good about himself and does not fall behind any civilization on the earth.
Of course, they may not all follow the Taiping Army willingly, but compared to the swords and guns and relatively limited patience in the hands of other rebels; most people still choose to cooperate obediently and accept the reality of leaving their homes and living anew.
In addition to the usual craftsmen, servants, and literate people, the Taiping Army also paid for those women and orphans who were left alone and helpless because of the war. This is a long-term layout that is purely at hand beyond utilitarianism. Still the same reason.
Women can enter factories to participate in collective labor in traditional light industry, and arrange to form a family to raise and raise offspring and multiply the population; this is of great benefit to stabilizing the army’s popularity and enriching the local social structure.
After the orphans grow up through the Taiping Army’s mature training mechanism, they are the natural loyalists and supporters of the Taiping Army, as well as the potential backbone of the military and securities.
Although this has the meaning of compulsory guidance, it is far more humane than the displacement that allows them to fend for themselves on the road, and finally do not know where they starve to death.
During the Taiping Army's campaign in Huainan, it could have continued to collect more existences through various channels; but after this series of things, I was afraid that there were many nights and dreams and they could only be collected.
Perhaps in the future, we can still maintain individual familiar relationships through private channels, but it is impossible to reproduce the convenience of various actions like the full-scale cooperation after the alliance.
You should know that originally the Taiping Army could also use the "three detachments" sent to other rebels to formulate the corresponding "family, gentry, wealthy, official, and subordinate" and other black five types of liquidation lists. Then, using the hands of friendly forces to clean up the support base of these imperial government offices.
Riding on the "Pippi Shrimp II" (the first generation) with his nose ringing from time to time, Zhou Huai'an slowly thought about it while looking at the scenery and scenery along the way. At least on the way back in this Jiangnan area, I have already seen the paddy fields that have been cleared one after another, and a small number of figures who bend and start plowing in them from time to time;
Although the war is still chaotic today, as long as there is a slight calming gap, these humble people like ants and tenacious like weeds are still trying hard to sew food and clothing for the coming year and sweat hard.
At present and it can be determined that after the power of the Taiping Army shrinks and consolidates, it will maintain Xunyang in Jiangzhou, Jiangning and Dantu in Runzhou, these three larger cities along the river as core strongholds, plus During the previous period, the corresponding Tuntian area along the river, which was convenient for receiving support and transportation, was filled; follow-up work and treatment were carried out on this.
Of course, after the wrong period of normal farming. In places where the Taiping Army is developing farmland, in addition to promoting the replacement of melons and vegetables with a short harvest period, it will also try to plant improved rice seeds that are 100-day-maturing from outside the Ling.
The yield of this crop is not high and the taste is not good; the only advantage is that it can grow quickly with basic water, soil, rain and heat, and it is relatively resistant to pests and diseases. Therefore, as long as a simple collective care, you can gain something before the winter.
As an outsider force, the crops that can be harvested quickly have the most intuitive and important role in stabilizing the hearts and minds of the newly-occupied places. The stability of the regime since ancient times is almost intuitively reflected in the results of farming.
At least those gangsters who survived overnight and turned to extinction or transit officers just for the purpose of plundering for a while, do not need and will not consider similar issues.
"Zhou Lang,"
Along with Ying's cry, behind the curtain raised on the carriage beside him, he greeted with a pretty smiling face.
"On the same day, it is hot, thirsty and easy to get tired. This is my hand-made drink for relieving fatigue. I hope that the Lord can use it..."
"Okay, thanks a lot..."
He then boarded the carriage, and Xinshou took it and slowly tasted it, that is, the taste of traditional tea being ground into powder and adding various seasonings.
However, watching the wolfberry and red dates floating in the cup of tea soup, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but feel the strange feeling of relying on the weight of being old; and the waist also felt a little faintly, well, this must be yesterday's painstaking study of physical hygiene. The knowledge is too late.
Does this girl already know something. You must know that although you haven't put her away from the Fa-rectification on the spot, you always treat each other with courtesy. But these few days, Cui Wanting was secretly called over to herself, and she was left behind to show her and even observe each other as a demonstration in person.
However, before he recovered, the girl who squatted on the silk cushion brought out a red lacquer snail food box; after opening it was a few tables of warm and delicate side dishes; braised bamboo shoot tips. , Bai Di Cui Cake, Three Ding Linglong Pills, Shrimp Filled Eggs.
"I heard that Zhou Lang is good at snacks, but the slaves are not good at washing hands and making soup for the king, and they talked about their hearts by offering flowers to Buddha..."
"In that case, you can feed me..."
Zhou Huaian smiled dumbly.
Then he gently pushed aside the case table, and involuntarily took her light body up, and sat sideways on her cross-legged knees. He fed another piece of green cake to her who didn't know Liliu, and then slammed her teeth into the gate, trying her best to stir and taste.
"Menglang favored, and slaves lived up to it..."
The girl who didn't have much strength to resist, squeezed her way with a voice that sounded like a mosquito.
. . . . . .
And in Gaoyou City, where the army headquarters moved, a lobbyist who came forward hastily made that statement in front of Huang Chao.
"Feng Wang, worship Yu Shi Zhongcheng, Xun special enters and grants the land of the three towns? Don't laugh, but I don't know how to be a master inspector compared to my usual mountain king?"
The visitor sneered unceremoniously. .
"Huang Wang really stayed in the south for a long time, and he was slackened by the local scenery in the south of the Yangtze River... even not as good as that... Monk Zhou saw things more clearly... but others have refused the court several times. Fang Yue’s seal is well-founded and determined not to change, just like my family’s mountain king and master inspector are deeply fascinated by it..."
"On the other hand, the king Huang did a great event that shakes the world, but he still misses the name and position given by the court? Now that week, the monk's subordinates are all over the places of Annan, Lingnan, Hunan, and Jingnan, even if there is no court grants Isn’t the status of “and” a real strength of the party..."
"Speaking of arrogant words, if my generation has such a strong and powerful force as the King of Huang, where can we not go where the day is big, where can not be taken as our foundation, and why do we have to follow the plans and calculations of the court to go for life? It hurts both with He Shuo, who has never respected the court..."
"Speaking of the distance is close, this is still the imperial court's arrogance, it is nothing more than to make your ministry spend more time in Huainan, so that you can entangle with the high envoy to do more damage to each other; In this way, even if King Huang understands that he will come to send his troops to the north, it will also give the court more buffer and leeway to deploy troops and wait for it..."
"Not to mention Yu Guijun itself, the Jiangdong, Zhejiang, and Huainan are the rich and prosperous places in the world; if Huang Wang lasts for a few years, hehe; I am afraid that his subordinates will have to give birth to more thoughts and thoughts. Don't think about it. If that time comes, even if there is no precedent for the monk that week, will it still stop more people from setting up their own doors and not looking for wealth..."
"With such various disadvantages declining, will Huang Wang dare to talk about his return to the Central Plains in the future... But it is just a repeat of Pang Xun's story more than ten years ago..."
However, this series of unceremonious words of punishment did not make Huang Chao furious; on the contrary, he waved his hand to invite the craftsman out, and then said to the accompanying secretary Huang Rui:
"Fourth, first control Doulu and the others, don't let them have a chance to walk in the army..." (End of this chapter)
