You know, the Taiping Eight Army plus the six defense zones total more than 100,000 people. However, after sharing in Shannan, Jingnan, Hunan, Liangling, Annan, Jiangxi, and Jiangdong, it is still a bit thin.
For example, the armed forces in the defense zone itself are mainly based on garrisoning and defense, and there is no enduring ability without cross-border active offensive; the dissatisfied seventh and eighth armies need to be stationed in the hinterland of Annan and Lingdong in turn as a mobile force in response.
The Fifth Army was a navy army, and its forces were scattered in the Yangtze River, Xiangshui and Hanshui rivers; most of the Third Army was stationed in Tanzhou to suppress and maintain the situation in Hunan provinces; the Sixth Army was in Hongzhou, Jiangxi and Jiangdong Xuan-She cleaned up local anti-insurgency remnants, and at the same time prevented intrusions from the Liangzhe and Fujian regions.
Therefore, the fifteen state boundaries between Shannan Dong Dao and Jing Nan Dao are now suppressed and controlled by the first, second, and fourth military orders under the Dudu Mansion.
Among them, the First Army was used to defend and sit in the key areas between Jinghu Lake, mainly the industrial belts along the Yangtze River, represented by Xiangzhou and Jingzhou, and to ensure smooth access to Shangluo Road.
Most of the Second Army, dominated by cavalry, is placed between Jiangling and Xiangyang, as a general reserve team. The Fourth Army is responsible for suppressing the southern coast of the Yangtze River and monitoring the Huainan area in the north of the Yangtze River, and a small part of it Support the operation of the Gorge River.
It can be said that in addition to the navy that is steadily expanding, the Metropolitan Government really does not have much energy at the moment to invest in these two lines. Even the peace operation in Jinzhou has also embezzled Wuguan in Shangzhou. The garrison force was achieved.
Moreover, just to effectively control the five states of the Gorge River and to ensure the removal of the corresponding places and the transformation of Zhangtian households, some of the forces of the Third Army and the Fourth Army have been occupied.
Once the Ankang Basin where Yangzhou is located is defeated, it will also require the maintenance and suppression of at least half of the army to resist and resist the military pressure from Shanxi Town, which is adjacent to the Hanzhong Plain. This will further drain and vacate the already few reserve forces of the Taiping Army.
You must know that it didn't take long for those who were mobilized before to be repatriated and disbanded and resettled. If they are mobilized again to expand the army, it will affect the whole body and affect a series of follow-up production plans and construction project arrangements.
On the other hand, it is the Liangling area in the rear area, especially the Lingdong states in the Pearl River Basin. With the continuous adjustment of wars over the years, the reserves and private surpluses under the sacred treasury system in various places have fallen to a very dangerous level. To the point.
Therefore, according to the deduction and judgment of the Coordination Division, if it is not controlled and adjusted, I am afraid that even if you have money, you will not be able to buy food, which will naturally cause serious inflation and many related social problems.
Another factor that cannot be ignored is that the low-intensity, high-frequency continuous execution of tasks by the various task forces continuing to travel to and from various places has made most of the personnel tired and slack.
Although there are still a lot of bonuses in mental energy and material incentives, various detailed problems, errors, and probability of deviation have inevitably accumulated, and it is almost impossible to ignore and sit back and watch.
Just like the secret investigation conducted by Yang Shigu, most of the phenomena and problems in the original report have been verified; on the one hand, the root cause is the continuous expansion of the "three teams" in response to needs, resulting in a general quality of members. Decline; on the other hand, it is also due to the tense task and the mentality of eagerness to achieve success.
Furthermore, the counterattack in Shannan has been calmed down once again; the remaining problems are mainly those scattered around the Nanyang Basin and the "Shanhe Children" in the Dengxiang prefectures, which are mentioned in the book. The "mountain shed" of the Tang Dynasty almost all the time.
They are hunting people in the southwest of the east capital of Tang Dynasty and the deep mountains and old forests of Guo, Deng, Xiang and other states, plus the associations of people in exile in the past dynasties. They migrated in spring and autumn to live in the mountains and rivers and rivers in the spring and autumn. Because most of the huts are built on trees, they are named for avoiding beasts, snakes and insects, and they are commonly called mountain sheds.
"New Tang Book. Volume 162. "Lv Yuanying Biography": "East and southwest through Deng and Guo, the rivers and valleys are wide and deep, there are many elk, people are shooting hunting but not agriculture, migration is impermanent, and all are fierce and vigorous, and the slogan is "mountain shed."
Together with the "Jiang Pirate Family" who is also a fisherman and a thief around Daze in Yunmeng, it is also called the "two great sufferings" between Jingxiang.
However, as the Taiping Army entered Hunan and Daxing waterway transportation, and fully developed navy to clean up the various waterways; in fact, the existence of these "jiang pirates" has been greatly compressed.
Therefore, these villages that also thieves and bandits either fled to Yunmeng Daze and lived in a lingering panic, or they were organized and transformed into villages and villages, and even became a supplementary source for navy and fishery production teams. On the contrary, these "mountain sheds" that are rampant around the Nanyang Basin in the north are somewhat troublesome and tricky.
Because almost all of them are communities and associations linked by large and small clans, to hug groups to keep warm and to compete for the safari boundaries of mountains, forests and waters, and even go out in groups to copy past business travels, and to rob local goods and women. .
Quite a few "Cossacks" (prairie robbers) settlements similar to the classical Chinese version. Although they have been governed and surrendered by the guards of the dynasty, they have been forbidden and have always been troubled. Therefore, some guards have tried to lure and incorporate for profit they.
Therefore, during the Yuanhe period, Lu Yuanying stayed in the eastern capital and recruited the people of the mountain shed, the children of the famous mountains and rivers, to guard the palace. In the twelfth year of Yuanhe (817), Li Zhuanping Huaixi, his subordinates also had children from mountains and rivers. However, the troubled times and famines and man-made disasters since the Mid-Tang Dynasty have always kept the young people who went to the mountains as pirates in the past.
(Old, weak, sick and disabled starved to death at home, or walked among the gully)
Even at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there are still active mountain sheds from Jianghan to Xiangzhou, and because of the continuous chaos, they have the potential to do great things, especially the purge carried out by the Taiping Army in Shannan East Road Jiedushi through the rebellion. And clean-up operations; of course, it destroyed the old order held by the gentry in Kita rampant village.
However, many of the destroyed tycoons, the remnants of the big family, and the leftovers of the dead were allowed to flee to the mountains to join with them; and then to confuse and instigate the tribes, and the liquidation tycoons promoted by the Taiping Army on the flat ground, organized and managed the civilian households, and promoted the village And other behaviors, conduct see-saw harassment and confrontation.
For example, intimidation and looting, massacres of local poor people, attacking and destroying villages where the "three detachments" of the Taiping Army have worked, as well as various temporary strongholds and checkpoints.
Therefore, in the Third Army and the Sixth Army, the mountain people from Fujian during the war and the children of the mines in Guiyang Jian between Lianzhou and Chenzhou were regrouped and armed to form a corresponding ranger. The short-footed mules and horses and simple firearms that are convenient for trekking through the mountains will carry out corresponding countermeasures and clearance operations.
The candidates who took the initiative to invite Ying to preside over the controversy were Min Xie, who was born in Yuzhang, Hongzhou, Jiangxi, and his deputy Deng Chuna from Shaozhou. The reason is also very simple. Min Xie was born in the local "Jiang Pirate Family" who was nominated in Yuzhang, and Deng Chuna was born in the local Shan Peng branch in Shaozhou.
Therefore, it is necessary for the Taiping Army to shrink and consolidate some of the overly prominent fronts and faces of the enemy. Firstly, rectify and sort out internal problems before they can re-form a joint force before going out. However, these two fronts do not mean shrinking. Those that can shrink also need additional fresh forces as the coping force and the aftermath.
For example, the Xiajiang Road is easier to handle. Although the front line is very long, it also has the convenience of the Yangtze River water transport. As long as the logistical support is carried out in accordance with the terrain, it is fine to consolidate and deploy on the spot; however, it is temporarily impossible to continue to interfere and participate. The situation in Jiannan Sanchuan has evolved.
Jinzhou and Xiangzhou are both plains in the Nanyang Basin of Yimapingchuan, and the distance of transportation and transportation is much shorter; however, they are also more vulnerable to threats and invasions in Yangzhou, which is separated by the neighboring mountains.
Therefore, subsequent additional strike forces are indispensable, and even repeated battles are required to seize and occupy sufficient strategic buffer zones as a prerequisite for long-term stalemate and confrontation.
Zhou Huaian thought for a while, then took out a document prepared in advance and looked at it. This is a document written by Li Can, the former chief executive officer of the Guizhou Administration. It is also a carrot to be caught in front of the donkey. It is a hope for the old dynasty generals who have undergone transformation after the captives to continue to cooperate.
Although it is impossible to expect to be able to make people change and re-behave like a new social merit in later generations, but somehow the remnants of the old system can be used for the largest waste, and some potential maintenance costs can be reduced.
For example, Li Cuan, the manager of the Guangxi Administration who surrendered to the Taiping Army in Annan, was born as a frontier general who conquered Nanban for many years. His own methods, vision, and experience are quite good, so Shang Rang was once blocked. The leader of the Rebels was unable to advance under the Dunbing Guizhou city.
If it is not the general trend, the soldiers and horses gathered under him will eventually be mutiny because of lack of money and food, lack of supplies and supplements. I am afraid that the rebels headed by Huang Chao will not be so easy to cross the north. After this, his heart seemed to dissipate and his family took refuge in Annan.
Finally, after the ups and downs in the Annan Incident, the Taiping Army finally surrendered in order to protect the family and relatives. Therefore, although he is already old and takes special care of his family, it is also an obvious weakness that can be controlled;
Therefore, his current main job is to compile military books and memoirs about the gains and losses of his life experience. By the way, he occasionally teaches the active members of the general officer's crash course to talk about and introduce the military system related to the imperial court, as well as common tactics and styles.
Now that he has always shown cooperation in learning and reformation, and his attitude of close and positive performance, he can be given a further appointment and formally obtain a position of teaching and consultant nature.
"General Governor, the first issue of Taiping Society has come out..."
Jianmei Xingmu described Yingting's book history, Lu Yan, and walked in to report in a low voice.
"Oh.."
Zhou Huaian was slightly surprised that Luo Yin was so efficient when he first started to host the work, and he has already produced some works. Then I glanced at the first article of the journal, and it was the opening volume of "The Essentials of Taiping Ching Ling":
"Unification and symbiosis, growing all things as wealth, the desire for wealth, the desire for symbiosis and evil, the symbiosis of evil, the symbiosis of treacherous cunning, the symbiosis of evil, and the chaos and the failure, the failure and the incessant failure, can not be restored, and the reason is returned. Contrary to the original, so the name bears..."
And this "Tai Ping Qing Ling Shu", also known as "Tai Ping Jing". According to legend, the first Daoist classics of Eastern Han Dynasty, awarded to Alchemist Yuji by the gods, had a lofty status in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also the fundamental scripture believed in Taipingdao at the end of Han Dynasty.
Among them, the most famous event related to it was the Taipingdao leader Zhang Jiao brothers. Based on the healing techniques of Fushui and incantations, the preaching spread all over the world, and finally started the Yellow Turban uprising of the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, the "Tai Ping Jing" was also regarded as a prophecy to convey the destiny, and was banned in the past.
(The sky is dead, the yellow sky is standing, and the age is in Jiazi, the world is prosperous.)
Despite this, the "Tai Ping Jing" was still passed down. During the development of Taoism from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, together with "Lao Zi Xiang'er Note", "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Qi" and "Qian Er Bai Guan Yi", it constituted the early Taoist name. "Three holes and four supplements" classics the foundation.
And this "Taiping Qing Lingshu" is based on the early Taoist thought of "the harmony of man and nature"; it outlines an ideal social picture based on the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, and proposes a set of "do nothing but do nothing" rule; and the so-called "Taiping" "It means yin and yang are harmonious, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the society is fair and selfless.
Therefore, the cultivating skills of the cultivators of the Taoism are put forward; the concept of good and evil retribution of property sharing and self-reliance is put forward, and it is pointed out that only people who believe in the correction of the Tao can break away from disasters and become immortals; it also reflects the simplicity of egalitarian and equal ideal People-oriented thinking.
It also emphasizes that governing the body is the foundation of governing the country, and studying the methods of governing the body can eliminate the disasters of all things in the world, and then repair the methods of governing the country to eliminate disasters and bring peace. This concept of "government of the body and the country" also advocates appointing talents, reducing penalties, listening to public opinion, opposing exploitation, and providing multiple relief concepts.
Therefore, after Luo Yin’s re-interpretation and exposition, he has faintly echoed the corresponding policies such as the “Outline of Taiping Fields,” “Taiping Sacred Treasury System,” “Taiping Policy”, “Qingping Outline”, and “Military Exercise Program”. Reflected in harmony, it appears that the history has a long and long history and is full of force.
Therefore, Zhou Huai'an looked at it all at once, and only felt that if he was enlightened and suddenly enlightened, he had become unclear and violent, and he had risen to all kinds of lofty heights. Even the inconsistencies and deviations are well explained here.
After all, it has been nearly a thousand years since the book was written. It is enough to make the world change beyond recognition, and later generations will change with the times and make more additions, supplements, and repairs.
Compared with Gao Wu Jianling’s first issue, the second one attached to it is "Encouraging the World to Learn to Learn", which is more straightforward in the text; it is basically a concise and concise example. The folks let their young children come out. Various benefits of workmanship/study. (End of this chapter)
