"The people of Thienufang City greeted the king's master, and they ordered the city to be washed, and the husband Ding Zhuang was killed and bloodshed."

"Old Tang Book · Huang Chao Biography"

—I am the dividing line —

Amid the faint roar of shelling, these frenzied and ferocious rebellious soldiers suddenly dispersed like frightened birds. It was like a rising tide that suddenly collapsed and vented, leaving only a corpse and wounded left behind by pushing and trampling each other. But Wang Shenchao, who was sweaty and tight, fell to the ground like a sudden loss of strength, but he felt like he was fished out of the water.

"Brother, are you okay..."

After a while, in the continuous rumbling roar from far and near, Wang Yanfu's cousin who rushed over to support the team quickly helped him and said:

"Mother, it's rare for Lao Tzu to be hard-hearted, but he almost died... What is the next rule?"

Wang Shenchao, who tried his best but couldn't stand up, panted tremblingly.

"Don't worry, the chief governor has already returned to the city to clean up the situation..."

Wang Yanfu immediately said a bigger piece of good news.

At the same time, in the opposite direction, Zhao Ziri, who saw the situation out of control and felt bad, took the last bit of effort to push away from the flow of people and leave.

They just ran against the crowd in this way. I don’t know how long before they sat down like dead dogs on the edge of a ditch and bridge where life is becoming more and more sparse, and let Zhao Ziri mutter to himself:

"How can this be? Isn't it possible that these peaces have not premeditated, and they want to join me in the last match;"

"This matter can't be so easy, you have to look for the masters to explain it well when you look back, so you can taste the anger of everyone!"

However, behind the perspective that he hadn't noticed, the remnants of the soldiers who had survived the catastrophe showed strange expressions in some kind of staring eye contact.

When he said a good deal on his own, he didn't get the imaginary response and echo. Instead, suddenly a heavy object was severely bridged on the back of his head, smashing him secretly, turning his eyes around and standing again. Can't help

When he tried to struggle, he was caught from behind and held his hands and feet together, pushed into the deep ditch beside the bridge, and plunged into the splash of the big canopy, his ears still whispered. A few words at the last minute:

"It's all the fault of this scourge,"

"At this moment, do you want to involve others again..."

"Bury this guy and it's a hundred..."

—I am the dividing line of regression —

"Why did this thing still happen, or how could I ignore such a catastrophe."

"Could it be that the smooth wind after the victory made people feel paralyzed?"

"Is it overestimating Huang Chao's control over his subordinates, or underestimating the determination of these great soldiers to retaliate without authorization? Or is it the degree of frenzy of some people?"

Zhou Huaian, who was riding into the Guangxia Gate in the carriage, was also thinking about the pros and cons in his head.

Obviously, I have given enough influence and change to the Great Qi forces after entering Chang'an, and also personally contributed to help the other party defeat the official army, avoiding the danger of breaking Changan’s backward road; how can it be after the development and evolution of seven turns and eight bends? How to avoid such a tragedy of crippling the common people

And along with this change, there was another post on his lap that was picked up in the city, and it read:

"Since I drove to the west, Guiluo was deep in the pit and mud.

The emperor's title was fully honoured as Yuan and mother, and the prefects became scholars and wives.

The hand plow turned over the wat, but the flesh-eating vermilion lip ate the chrysanthemum.

Nanshan is still in harmony with the sky, except that it is generally not peaceful. "

Author of "Chengtianmen Poetry Post": Jiming. If the impression in Zhou Huaian’s memory is correct, this poem has also led to the execution of more than four thousand scholars and scholars in Chang’an.

However, time and space have obviously been greatly changed, why would such a handful of satirical poems reappear in Chang'an City under the action of some invisible correction force, accompanied by the indiscriminate killing of Huang Chao's subordinates.

It's just that this time I appeared in the Taiping Army's turf, and the chai Ping, who was left behind by Zhou Huai'an, would not be so stupid as to be indiscriminate, so he first pulled out all kinds of scholars who could write poetry to kill one Bo such a stupid thing.

To know the Huang Chao on another historical line, but in Chang'an with enemies on all sides for at least several years, it is like a routine of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime blocked by the Qing army's north-south camp near the city of Nanjing.

Under such circumstances, the scholars and literati who were stranded in the capital were brutally killed. Is this not fast enough for fear of losing the hearts of the people and corrupting the voice of the people? We must know that the scholars who can go to Beijing to rush exams and study basically represent the essence of the intellectual class of this era.

Not to mention the various social relationships and family ties involved in them, which almost pushed the scholars and students who mastered knowledge and academic inheritance in the whole society to the opposite of the same hatred and enemy.

It's just that in this time and space, most of the scholars and the like in Chang'an City had been diverted (trafficed) in disguised form by various channels to the south and received resettlement and transformation, so there was not much soil for incitement at all.

In addition, the Taiping Army has always emphasized (indoctrination) education system and ideological construction, even if there is such a ridiculous and inciting thing, it will not provoke enough soldiers of the Taiping Army to join the killing in Chang'an City. go with.

Of course, compared to this unexpected situation, there were actually two good news that had just been delivered on the way back, which was not surprisingly good, and he somewhat adjusted his bad mood.

The first is within the territory controlled by the Southern Taiping Army, which has been built in sections for a long time from Guizhou in Lingnan to Jingzhou in Jingnan, and then to Shangzhou in the mountain (south) east (dao); and from Jingzhou to Zhejiang. Jiangning in the east, turning to Yuezhou in western Zhejiang, and two main roads, one horizontal and one vertical, which span east-west and north-south directions, and the corresponding connection, widening and renovation projects have been basically completed.

And successfully realized most of the hardened clay gravel pavement. Although the part located in Jiangdong started late, the engineering volume and geological structure are the simplest. Most of the difficulty and progress obstacles of the project are mainly concentrated between Hunan and Lingnan, where a large amount of gunpowder is needed to open mountains and rocks. It can be said that since the day when the Taiping Army left the mountain, it has been continuously proceeding.

During the period, it was not that no one kept making suggestions and suggestions. Since there are many water canal systems, including Lingqu and Xiangshui, which can be used as channels for communication, why bother to repeat the construction and repair of land channels? However, the whole process was persisted by Zhou Huai'an, even in the difficult period when the Taiping Army was relatively scarce, even if some factories had already reduced production and never really stopped work.

Because, with the continuous northward movement of the political center and economic base of the Taiping Army, in order to maintain the control over the basic disk of the Lingwai and the smooth flow of government orders and execution, land access that is not affected by seasonal fluctuations is also an inevitable prerequisite. . And these ancients simply couldn't understand the influence of the new Chinese regime in later generations on the persistent pursuit of national infrastructure projects.

Of course, in this era, the most suitable one is still this kind of hardened mud glue gravel pavement. Especially in the absence of a large amount of asphalt sources, and the only cement production capacity is in short supply in the internal digestion of industrial production; the ancient sandstone is used as a binder to glue the screened gravel and spread on the rammed earth pebble roadbed. The hardened pavement made is undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice.

The specific equipment and processes that need to be invested are also relatively simple, as long as sufficient manpower and guidance of system process specifications are sufficient. It is more suitable for ancient societies where manpower is low, technology is backward, and there is no large-scale equipment available; and this kind of road itself is not bad. Some road branches in later generations have even been used during World War II, and medium and light tanks can still pass. Armored and mechanized troops.

The only drawback is that in rainy seasons and areas, special personnel are required to carry out relatively frequent and regular maintenance to ensure basic practical performance. But in this classical era with low labor costs, it is not a problem at all, because the cost of maintaining the maintenance team according to specific road sections is far from the economic circulation value created after the corresponding roads are connected, and the benefits of invisible productivity gains are comparable. .

Needless to say, the areas along the route can only be produced and sold by themselves, but in the mature season they can only be eaten and cannot be used up. They can only be rotten in the ground, and will be able to extend through the roads to the wild and small markets. In this way, it joins the economic cycle of local agricultural and sideline products, and directly or indirectly creates more added value.

The other good news is that the trial production of steam engines transferred from Lingnan to Jingzhou has achieved phased breakthroughs and results. It is probably the steam-powered equipment of the No. 1 engine, which has been able to maintain continuous operation performance for at least 20 to 30 days after repeated fire experiments. With this successful template, the next step of mass production is no longer on paper.

Although many of the key constructions need to be polished and calibrated manually, which leads to high costs; in addition, due to the limited strength of materials such as body shock absorption and sealing gaskets, further improvements and reductions are needed to install on the water wheel. Cars are used as the driving force for continuous navigation; however, they are used for forging and stamping in factories with relatively fixed sites and bases, mining, transportation and pumping, hoisting and excavation of water conservancy projects, but they still have a wide range of adaptability.

In this way, more labor and skilled workers can be freed up to be deployed and invested in other fields of production. Why is the classical agricultural society prone to the involution effect after population expansion? It is because there is a huge population base but there is no way to transform it into the corresponding social productivity, and even the development driving force for the progress of the social form.

In fact, after entering an industrialized society, even the most advanced industrialized society, it will face a long-term shortage of labor and shortage of manpower; this is why the "sheep cannibalism" movement that drives farmers out of the land has also emerged to break the feudal territory economy. Many modern events such as the closed cycle of the French Revolution. . .

It even traded slaves from Africa to fill up the raw material capacity of the plantations, used legal and economic means to send local women and children into the factories, wishing to work 24 hours a day without interruption, and advocated the intention of distorting labor to make people happy, declaring no Ken 996 is a lot of demon moths who are sorry for the blessing of capital.

Zhou Huaian, who got out of the carriage, came to the top of the tower while recollecting and thinking about it. A group of left-behind generals led by Chai Ping also rushed forward to report loudly:

"Enlighten to the Governor, the indiscriminate killings in the city have spread to Fengyifang near Pingmen in Xiyan, to Changlefang at Mingmen in Dongchun..."

"Therefore, the various patrols we arranged in the periphery of the central and southern cities have already actively intervened or were forced to be involved in corresponding events.

"According to the left-behind positions and corresponding plans, a number of mobile strike teams have been organized to support and respond..." (End of this chapter)
