Tang Dynasty

Chapter 82: In the city

Views:

In the courtyard of the back house of Xunzhou Governor's Mansion,

Zhou Huaian slowly served Xiaoqi and enjoyed the afternoon snack: roast duck with plums specially cooked by a local chef in Xunzhou.

It is to use local aged prunes and sliced ginger to cook the local black feather duck specialties; the roasted and crispy duck meat, even the skin slips into the duck oil soup with swollen plums with a light poke , It tastes sweet and sour, tender and fresh but not greasy.

The complementary dim sum is the local Chazai cake, which is steamed with oil rolled from camellia seeds, stone honey, and rice noodles to form a cake, which has a unique fragrance. The sweet and sour duck soup is more refreshing.

In the corridors and halls in front of him, Liao Yuan and Yuan Jing, as assistants, are also leading a group of hard-working papers and managers, immersed in piles of papers and books, making statistics. Various gains and losses before and after the state city.

From time to time, it turned into a simple diagram and presented it to him to read one or two in a low voice. Although all this is still very simple and rough, it also represents the embryonic form of a certain system and system.

For example, Wang Pan didn’t know what recruiting methods he used when he came down the road. At most, his subordinates gathered more than 6,000 people, which is almost four or five times the number of people at the time of departure. It was only after days of offensive consumption and follow-up that they came and rushed. With the supplement, he slowly retreated to more than 4,000, and among them there were more than 1,000 slightly or severely wounded waiting to be dealt with.

Therefore, with so many people eating and chewing, the food and grass that was originally brought out for half a month was also consumed quickly; at least a few days before Zhou Huai'an came to meet, they had almost begun to implement the minimum supply quota. . If there is no follow-up supplement of this batch of timely rains, it is very likely that soldiers will flee and personnel will be lost due to the interruption.

However, the harvest after the fight was exceptionally surprising, because these guards of the city and the soil regiments had already raided the surrounding areas and concentrated their food, livestock, and property in the state city. A dozen warehouses were piled up.

Coupled with the great donations of officials, wealthy businessmen, and big households in the city, as well as heavy allocations to the homes of various houses; all kinds of food, grass, cloth, clothing, armored carts and horses that have not had time to be set on fire can be said to have everything you need. After a rough calculation, Zhaojiazhai is also ten times and twenty times the start.

With relatively sufficient resources and manpower, some plans and ideas that originally existed on paper or that have yielded initial results can continue to be implemented and expanded; for example, under the request of Wang Pan, who knows the essence of food, the original experimental The semaphore team needs to be expanded from thirty-five to one hundred and twenty to meet the requirements of the hundreds of teams today.

Then there is the reorganization of the existing personnel. After merging the 3,000 people brought by Zhou Huai'an, the number of people who have expanded again needs to be further selected and screened, to eliminate the surplus of the old, the weak and the sick, and to select the strong to enrich each branch. , By the way, reduce unnecessary wastage and waste;

The rebels’ system is a product of divisions and judges, but they have similarities and differences in accordance with the situation and the quality of the site;

There are almost ten people in one fire, each with a fire chief and five mates; each team has between 30 and 50 people, and there are three members in charge of team leader, team deputy, and flag head; three to five The team is a brigade, with five brigade commanders, brigades deputy, and five personnel; two brigades to three brigades are a regiment, and the officers are captains, deputy captains, and a fireman; two regiments to five regiments are one. The battalion has a large, medium and small third class, the larger is the official general, the lieutenant is the lieutenant, and the smaller is the deputy.

Basically, for each level of battalion, regiment, brigade, brigade, and fire, only the basic food and clothing supplies for the corresponding head are set, and other things must be raised and seized by themselves. It is now necessary to reunify under a fixed establishment, which has achieved a better order and prohibition effect; especially because of the reason for the expansion of the army and the dismantling of the rudimentary small gangs formed by the township party and relatives. Of course, this can only be done. Do things that cannot be said.

Use the captured horses to expand the size of the horse brigade and guards, and expand the organization of the mule and horse brigade and vehicles; build more armor and equipment on the spot to achieve at least about 80% of the weaponry and equipment rate, and about 40% of the armor Rate; the more sophisticated teams must change to seized leather armor or inlaid armor, and the bosses must have a large cloak and one-piece robe. . .

Furthermore, once there is relatively sufficient food, the porridge must be opened outside the city gate. On the one hand, it is to buy people's hearts and on the other hand, it also recruits suitable staff. This also requires Zhou Huaian to distract and screen and select. .

Demands of this kind vary in all cases, and people are required to raise and arrange the corresponding schedule. Then Zhou Huaian found that he was a little embarrassed; as the saying goes, the pits he dug had to be filled by himself, and the Haikou he had boasted had to end by himself.

The so-called is that both hands must be grasped and both hands must be hard; if you want to do well, you must first sharpen your tools.

He first sought out from Wang Pan, expropriated all the manpower and resources in a small area, without interference, and the right to cheap; then he picked out about fifty from the rear team, and after dinner, he talked about the ancient and prosecuted himself. At the meeting, the performance was the most bitter and deep, and the most resolute and simple in doing things in peacetime, but also not afraid of bloody and dirty hands.

First, delineate the site and arrange the corresponding furnishings and equipment, and allocate enough servants for renovation and construction; then, according to the figure, send people to control and close the house, and the gatehouses of the wealthy people in the city will enter and exit, and they will be temporarily confined at home Only the most basic drinking water is allowed in and out;

Next, just as the great man in the later generations said, "If there is no investigation, there is no right to speak", so he specially organized two teams for private affairs;

A city census team consisting of more than 20 young people under Xiaoqi’s staff, walked to the streets and alleys to inquire about news; on the one hand, it was to understand the layout and belonging of most of the industries in the city, and on the other hand it was in the name of looking for relatives and friends. Asking for news on the side of wells and ditches where women gather, mainly about the reputation and reputation of some famous people in the city.

The other is composed of soldiers who are relatively honest and sincere in appearance and are easy to get close to. Their task is to conduct random inspections of the people at the bottom when the porridge is served, at the cost of an extra bowl of porridge and water. In exchange for their sources of information about the big families in the city and the old officials.

The information collected from this, although there are many misunderstandings and exaggerations, but with sufficient probability of repeated comparisons of many samples, they can still be cross-formed. These cities have big names, wealthy families, or other wealthy people. The basic distribution and the context of social relations.

Then, it is the question of the next step.

In a sense, as a means of systematic robbery and extortion, it appeared early in the history of human evolution; from the experience and lessons of later generations, it can also be made into things full of artistic and cultural traditions. ; And the direct open flame to break into the door with a staff, wantonly beating, looting, looting and intimidating the other party to surrender their wealth is undoubtedly the lowest and most inefficient and cost-effective approach.

As for the highest-end masters among them, they are undoubtedly the powers of Europe and the United States in later generations. They rely on the dividends of the third world countries and enjoy the benefits of centuries of colonial era and primitive industrial accumulation. They can still rely on supporting puppet regimes and compradors. Agents come, continue to suck blood and fleece on the economic lifeline of the country under the banner of exporting and protecting democracy and freedom;

Even frantically, in the name of justice and axiom, create disputes and hotspots in the surrounding areas to force their allied countries {brothers} to pay for the maintenance costs of the garrison and share the war military expenses, or simply provide regular supplies in the name of arms procurement. Pay protection fees.

All the above methods and methods are all aimed at achieving the ultimate goal of a more concealed and stable long-term robbery and extortion under the fig leaf and disguise of universal values; moreover, there are many unscrupulous literati and well-known people who have been bought and brainwashed. , For their robber logic and black history or something, all kinds of grease and powder and advocacy and whitewashing.

This is the highest achievement of Robber Logic.

Of course, Zhou Huai'an has not been able to achieve this level and height yet, even the country he is in for later generations is far from reaching it; however, he can retreat and find some successful examples based on historical experience and lessons. . That is, Li Zicheng entered Beijing and tortured the wealthy businessmen of the city's princes and ministers. After making a facelift, they brought it to life in a shortened version.

At least in terms of torture and the imagination of interrogation methods, these mud-legged rebels obviously have no way to compare with Zhou Huaian, a modern man who is in the form of a dragon and a Ye Gonghao; you must know that for some malicious interest, he even watched the spread in the Tang Dynasty. The famous "Luo Weaving Sutra" that came down.

As for the goat’s heart, the head with sticks, and the teppanyaki are all pediatrics, such as "ants on the tree", "fish-flavored pork shreds", and "gong sauteed chicken" which use the human body as the material, they are practical and effective. It neither threatens or harms lives, but also achieves the greatest persecution effect.

Even if the interrogation is finished, the undead object can still be used in the next step. The previous work in Zhaojiazhai is not outdated; now with the larger stage of Zhoucheng, there is no doubt that more practice can be obtained. And play.

For example, as an online military history house, he also once read the "Report on Land Reform Issues" and used it as a dry product to fight those who are clearly the descendants of the poor and lower middle peasants of Miao Zheng and Hong, but he always counts the ancestors and forgets the codes. The delusion of his own ancestors was a landlord exploiting class and born as young masters;

Relying on the persecution of the poor to smash the bones and kill the family to maintain the decent and disease-free "shen yin" petty bourgeoisie, but constantly defends that all these are Internet parasites, women's rights tables, public knowledge, and fruit fans of the ancestors who have worked hard to get rich.
