"Law," "discipline," and "ideals," Wei Ze thought that these three issues might be resolved in three or four days, but as a result, a week later, there were still some people among the national delegates of the Liberation Party who did not understand it. These people who don't understand it are basically unclear about the understanding of "punishment", or these people confuse power with punishment.

Power is my final say. To be punished is to be caught. This problem, which was not fully solved in the 21st century, was found to be a big problem in the 19th century. And if many people adhere to the simple concept of "I am working for the governor", they will do a good job in many things. But these people clearly lack the sense of the modern state, they really can't understand the rights and duties, let alone the idea that we are all part of the state.

In the face of such a thorny problem, Weeser can only admit that the existing national concept is not fully understood by everyone. Then there is only one thing left to do, that is, to send competent comrades to work, and those who are not competent to stay in the party school cadre school for training.

This movement of personnel throughout the liberated areas began at the beginning of 1864 and lasted until July 1864. The secretaries of the party committees of various provinces have been transferred to the Central Party School to study in all those who are unclear in their ideas and responsibilities.

After the party committee secretaries of the provinces, prefectures, and counties arrived at the localities, they had to start a large-scale study work. Weeser ordered that if anyone could not accept the idea of abiding by the law, they would be removed from the party. If I feel that I am not able to accept the discipline of the organization, I can take early retirement.

Judging from the reports from various localities, seeing that the Central Committee of the Restoration Party was going to come in earnest, purging the party and persuading them to retreat, the whole atmosphere was completely new. It is still very early before the reunification of the world, and if you quit the Liberation Party now, not only will your personal future be gone, but the pension that may be increased will also be lost. When it comes to their own interests, everyone's choice is unprecedentedly unanimous. That's "stick to it."

Of course, this is not something that can be persisted in if you want to. As soon as the anti-corruption, anti-waste, and anti-bureaucracy anti-anti movement began, many problems of corruption and degeneration of party members and cadres in various localities were exposed, and many cadres were suddenly dismissed. And when these party members of the Liberation Party saw that their comrades-in-arms were unlucky, they took the landlords, gentry, and scholars of the old era to get angry. Within the Liberation Party and the government, there was a major purge of these people. Members from ill-born backgrounds were affected across the board, and at least in Weeser's view, there were signs of a radical rupture between the new government and the old era.

Of course, there were also many "bad-born" people among the early cadres in the party, and there were many criticisms and objections from these people. However, Weser was not too upset about this. This is not the period of New China in the face of huge external pressure, all capable people have to find ways to win over to the banner. Are there international students among the people of the old era? No! Are there new ideas in the people of the old era? No! Are the people of the old era willing to liberate all of China with the Liberation Army? No! Since they didn't take the initiative to break with the old era, Wei Ze really didn't see the need to pull these people into the new era.

Throughout 1864, whether it was the landlords of Lianghu and Huainan, or some literati who were angry and "defected to the imperial court" because they were rejected by the Guangfu Party, they brought the news to the Manchu Qing that "Wei Dog was perverse, and the people were displaced, looking forward to the restoration of the land by Wang Shi".

The Manchu court, which was supposed to be happy, showed no sign of being happy about it.

Thanks to Zeng Guofan, there were no Jiangxi people among the people who went to the north to "defect to the imperial court". In the tug-of-war between the Taiping army and Zeng Guofan in Jiangxi, Zeng Guofan's Hunan army looted at every turn, wantonly "driving the people as the forerunner" to attack the city. Jiangxi's population was already small, and after being slaughtered by the Hunan army for millions of people, the land reform did not encounter any problems. The old cousins of Jiangxi felt that they would rather accept the land reform than go to the Manchu court, to which Zeng Guo belonged to the domain.

Of course, the displeasure of the Manchu court was not due to Jiangxi's alienation from the court. Not to mention the news that the Liberation Army was heading north at this time. At this time, the Liberation Army had no plan to go north at all. In addition to internal rectification, the main forces of the Liberation Army are moving south.

After an agreement with the French in 1863, the Liberation Army had no nominal enemies in Southeast Asia. Not worried about the war, the Liberation Army sent a fleet south to Borneo. The total number of personnel in this fleet is more than 4,000 people. After this army landed in Borneo on steam-sail-powered ships with a tonnage of more than 5,000 tons, the entire Republic of Lan Phong shook.

The Dutch had always been eyeing the Republic of Lanfang, which occupied all of Borneo, and in order to protect themselves, the Republic of Lanfang had pledged to serve the Manchu government. After the First and Third Great Smoke Wars, the Manchus completely knelt down to the foreigners, and the French also violently invaded Vietnam. The Dutch began to stir again.

The great military strength displayed by the Liberation Army was exactly what the Republic of Lan Fang needed, and they soon reached an agreement with the Republic of China, and the Republic of Lan Fang was changed to Lan Fang Province, officially becoming part of the Republic of China.

Originally, most of the Chinese here were engaged in gold panning and other industries, and after becoming part of China, the new government planned for Lanfang's side. The tropics are blessed with extreme rainfall, barren land, and a population of less than one million in the vast province of Lan Fong. Since the land here is not valuable, there is no resistance to land reform at all. Lanfang Province gives priority to the development of rubber plantations, palm plantations, spices as the core of cash crops, including grain, industrial products and other products, which are exported from the mainland to Lanfang.

In August 1864, a detachment set out from Fujian and attacked Taiwan across the sea. By October, the Manchu government in Taiwan had formally surrendered.

The new government's full-scale expansion at sea led to a large amount of budget being invested in shipping-related industries, plus internal consolidation, so that the offensive on the north has come to a complete standstill.

However, the Manchus in the north did not get a respite, and their internal problems intensified.

Weeser had read a "wild history" about the Manchu era. It is said that there was an envoy who impeached someone who was promoted very quickly, and thought that there was something wrong with this person. Others told him that this person's quick promotion was due to the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The envoy said, "I have never heard of any birds in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

This Ye Shi Weiser is seen as a complete joke, but it also shows that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement actually had little impact on northern China. The situation is completely different now. South of the Huai River by Chen Bing of the Guangfu Army, after the Yellow River was diverted, a large area of the "Yellow River Ancient Road" appeared between the Huai River and the Yellow River. Naturally, the water here is not completely dry, and large swamps and wetlands have become uninhabitable. When the Yellow River was not diverted to the north, there were still large rivers in the way. This area is now also an area where people can move freely. Such a geographical change made the Twist Army start to get more and more fierce here.

The idea of the Twist Army was not to oppose the Qing Dynasty, but to establish an autonomous region of local power that did not pay taxes in the Huaibei area. Therefore, the Twist Army not only fought with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also repeatedly broke out conflicts with the Liberation Army. The battles between the Twist Army and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were won repeatedly, and the battle with the Guangfu Army was naturally defeated in every battle. In the end, the Twist Army was also very acquainted with each other, no longer looking south, but concentrating on attacking the Manchu forces in the north.

Now that more than 100,000 people in the Jiangnan battalion have been wiped out, the three armies of the Huai Army, the Hunan Army, and the Chu Army have taken up the important task of "border defense." The Huai army was in the west, the Hunan army was in the center, and the Chu army was in the east, and Jiang Zhongyuan, Zeng Guofan, and Zuo Zongtang, three famous people in history, had to fight with the Twist Army.

The Manchu Qing mainly relied on the transportation of water from the south of the Yangtze River to support the north, and now that the Huai River has become the front line, the Manchu Qing cannot but use Henan, Hebei, and Shandong to support the Huai River defense line. To make matters worse for the Manchus, Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom went north with the support of the Liberation Army, and they went all the way to Shaanxi via Henan. The Shaanxi Green Battalion has always been good at fighting, but the number of these green battalions is limited, and where is the opponent of the Taiping army of more than 200,000. After the acupuncture method blew up the walls of Xi'an, the Shaanxi Green Camp fought a bloody battle with the Taiping army that broke into the city, and finally tens of thousands of Manchus in Xi'an were slaughtered. The Taiping army attacked the city in the northwest, and the entire northwest also fell into an erosive situation.

After the land reform in the liberated areas, the Guangfu Army, under the order of Wei Ze, mobilized a large amount of manpower to start building agricultural water conservancy projects. The Manchus had no such idea, let alone such ability. Although the Liberation Party may not understand or accept the concept of "building together with the people" put forward by Wei Ze. But after Wei Ze gave the order, the liberated areas finally took action. In the view of the Manchus, the people were saved to support the imperial court. At present, the court is in difficulty, and the people naturally need to provide money and food for the court by frugality. Under such squeezing

If the south is a place where people will not starve to death as long as there is land, then Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other regions may not be able to survive if they have land in the era of large-scale water conservancy construction. The oppression of the Manchu court directly led to the resistance of the local people, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who once watched as the lord of the world, was on fire everywhere at this time, and even without the Northern Expedition of the Liberation Army, the entire north was about to enter the point where the people rose up and overthrew it.

Therefore, the number of these "loyal ministers and righteous men" who came to serve the Manchu Qing Dynasty was less than 100,000, but there were always 50,000 or 60,000. In the eyes of the Manchus, it is not yet known whether these people can provide assistance, but they will eat and drink. Now that the bannermen with hardcore crops are still in arrears, where can the imperial court still have the energy to care about these gentry?

The burden of solving the problem fell on Jiang Zhongyuan, Zeng Guofan, and Zuo Zongtang. The imperial court ordered that all those who went north should be brought under the command of these three people. Had to continue north. The Huai army, the Hunan army, and the Chu army were feudal armies, and the three adults gathered together to try to find a solution. R1058
