284 Rectification

Hongyangtang's dissenting things are not uncommon in Hongmen, but Li Tianyang is no longer strange, but as the Hongmen system has made mistakes and made up for it again and again, it has gradually improved and made up for it, and there are fewer and fewer such things.

Hong Yangtang's betrayal did not have much impact on He Sanjiang and their implementation of Hongmen's orders, with He Sanjiang and Bai Yushan, the backbone of the peasant army, Hong Yangtang and Da Banya and others, who had already subjugated the law, lost their luster in front of this group of people who were accustomed to seeing life and death parting, and were more indifferent in their hearts.

In mid-May, after stabilizing the mood within the team, He Sanjiang took this team of more than 2,000 elite cavalry to bypass the Daming Guard and go to join Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, who was recruiting troops.

Later, He Sanjiang became a fierce general in the hands of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, who lacked a strong army and few henchmen, and was quite used by him.

However, because of this, Hongmen once again launched a campaign to rectify the atmosphere under its own system.

Speaking of which, the current Hongmen, in addition to Hongtang as an army establishment, in which the rules and ethics are quite strict, so that the soldiers can not be too wanton, the rest of the staff such as government administrators, Qixintang staff, etc., have no shortage of money in their hands, and the welfare benefits are excellent.

Li Tianyang actually realized it a long time ago, but he has been entangled in many trivial matters, but he has no time to free up his hands to clean up this situation.

Until the incident of Hong Yangtang appeared, as an opportunity, Li Tianyang felt that if he continued to be so laissez-faire, it would bring great damage to the construction of their entire team and affect their future development.

In the final analysis, the betrayal of Hongyangtang and their benevolence is still due to the lack of ideological construction of the Hongmen team, because they have been in the outside world for a long time, and it is rare to have the opportunity to go home to continue to consolidate their thoughts and beliefs, which will lead to betrayal again and again.

Of course, it is impossible for a spy soldier like Hong Yangtang who is in an important position to find a chance to return to Dayuan Island, but Hongmen himself also does not have much experience, and he keeps track of the spiritual beliefs of these personnel at any time, so that the other party always remembers their original intentions, which is also Hongmen's own problem.

Even Li Tianyang himself, who has been living in a good place all these years, has gradually lost the beautiful prospects of the year, not to mention those spy fighters who have been in a complex environment such as life and death battles for a long time and have been tempted by various interests.

First of all, under its own system, the Hongmen launched an activity called "Diligence and Thrift", calling on the members of the Hongmen system to restrain their extravagance and waste, and return to the fine tradition of coarse tea and light rice in the past.

Don't look at this small action, it really has to be implemented, but it is quite difficult: the life under the Hongmen system can really crown the entire Ming Dynasty, and the people and staff under the entire Hongmen system have almost no rich and noble families, but in general, everyone is a rich family at home, and all kinds of materials on the island are very rich, so that everyone is gradually accustomed to the enjoyment of life.

Ordinary people, in the past, there was a full meal, a few changes of clothes for a long time is already precious, but now in Hongmen Island, in addition to those newly recruited newcomers who have not yet established a foothold on the island, as long as they have lived on the island for more than three years, there are not four or five small dishes on the table, of which fish and meat are indispensable.

As for the members of the Hongmen system, who have better welfare benefits, they have begun to get used to taking other people's two-wheeled vehicles when they go out, that is, rickshaws during the Republic of China, to reflect their wealth; And the clothes they wore were even more colorful, flowery, and all-encompassing.

From this, we can see the changes in the thinking of Hongmen members, and almost few families still maintain the simple style of those who were in the difficult times.

For this reason, Li Tianyang first passed a tone with Wu Jie, Liu Xiang, Lu Yu and other high-level officials in private, and told Wu Jie and them that he was worried, and after obtaining their approval, he held several conferences in the Hongmen system, not only calling on the members of Hongmen to change their life style, but also promulgating a series of articles of association, conveying a lot of extravagant and wasteful behaviors in black and white, and putting an end to everyone's continued extravagant life.

At the same time, among the people, Chen Yumodu Drama Club has released several new plays in a row, as well as old works such as "The White-Haired Girl" of the older generation, so that the people can reminisce about the bittersweet and bitter at the same time, but also go back and slowly think about the changes that have gradually risen over the years, so that they can self-reflect on their faults.

Compared with the members of the Hongmen system, the extravagance and waste of ordinary people is the most difficult thing to solve, although everyone's wealth comes from the superiority of the Hongmen system, and the benefits obtained in exchange for work and labor are far more earned than other places in the Ming Dynasty.

But in the final analysis, these things are earned through the hard work of the people themselves, Li Tianyang and their system boast of being democratic and open, and even ordinary people talk about Li Tianyang, the de facto leader of Hongmen, and the members of the Hongmen system never greet them too much, so people spend their own money and enjoy their own lives, and it is even more impossible for Hongmen to enforce how people should live.

And in such a big situation, it is really difficult for Hongmen members to want to change.

After all, ordinary people can live a good life, so should these staff members in Hongmen, who were originally more advantageous, really cater to Li Tianyang's will and deliberately make their lives miserable?

Obviously, this is an unrealistic thing, Li Tianyang and they have been implementing various regulations for a long time, but they still can't stop everyone from secretly enjoying and buying all kinds of goods that were originally forbidden, and soon, Li Tianyang knew that the solution to this matter must be something wrong.

"What the hell should I do?"

Li Tianyang has been asking himself.

As the leader, in fact, Li Tianyang's life has not been too extravagant, and the children of the family are now studying in Bengang School, which is no different from the children of ordinary families, and even the best partners of the children are the children of ordinary families in Keelung Town.

In life, her mother Sanniang is a picky eater, but she rarely eats meat, prefers to eat ordinary vegetables and fruits, and several children are growing up, and there must be a few meat dishes for three meals a day, and the biggest difference with ordinary people may be a few more cups of milk from Da'an Town to supplement their protein.

As for dressing, Li Tianyang has never thought that there is no concept of poverty and wealth, everyone dresses exactly the same as ordinary children, and it is rare to wear silk and satin, because Li Tianyang, who has crossed over in later generations, feels that ordinary cotton and linen fabrics are worn on the body, but they are more comfortable and comfortable!!

If no one knew Li Tianyang on the road, I am afraid that no one would think that the person in front of him wearing cheap cotton and linen clothes would be the biggest leader of the entire Hongmen.

There is a lot of influence from Li Tianyang, and in the barracks, the soldiers of the Hongtang barracks system love a cotton and linen clothes, which are simple to take care of, ventilated and breathable, as the raw materials of the army's standard clothing, everyone has long been accustomed to its characteristics, and other things like silk on the ship will feel uncomfortable.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuyan, Gan Dabiao, Dong Haoran and other administrative staff gradually became accustomed to wearing delicate and beautiful clothes such as silk and satin, which could better show their status.

The living standards of the people as a whole under the Hongmen system are all relatively high, and if Li Tianyang insists on suppressing the living enjoyment of ordinary people, I am afraid that if they do not do well, they will cause everyone to resist.

After thinking about it, Li Tianyang couldn't find a good way to solve the sequelae of these things, and he could only channel the spread of these problems in Hongmen through his own practical measures for Hongmen.

First of all, the measures were to limit extravagance and waste in terms of rules and regulations, and at the same time to make everyone's official finances public, they also effectively set the annual budget of each department.

In order to make everyone pay more attention to these charters, Li Tianyang linked these charters and regulations to the future promotions and salary increases of each member, so that they could understand that this matter was related to their own interests.

Transparent finance, will naturally make the extravagance and waste in the system clear at a glance, every year in the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, social entertainment, etc., how to spend, will become a string of clear figures, public to everyone.

Most of the members of the Hongmen are young and vigorous young people, they are not satisfied with their current status, and when the Hongmen's constitution is linked to their future promotion, only if it concerns their own lives, they will abide by and obey these regulations from the bottom of their hearts, instead of disobeying them as before.

During this period, a large number of corrupt elements who were found out by the Hongmen internal guards because of the problems of life style were resolutely implemented by the Hongmen in accordance with the charter, or were directly expelled from the Hongmen system and returned to the ordinary people; Or be imprisoned and become a prisoner.

Hongmen's style of acting is iron-blooded and fast, and finally it still attracted the attention of the people at the bottom, or it is worried, as everyone is attracted and understood by the frequent actions in the Hongmen system, naturally, they also gradually began to restrain their extravagant and wasteful actions.

Of course, Li Tianyang and the others know very well that the phenomenon of the people's extravagance and waste being curbed is just a temporary illusion, and when time passes, they will eventually return to this old road.

But for the Hongmen system, this matter is still gained, at least the extravagance and waste among the members of the Hongmen system, as well as the resulting hedonistic ideas, declining morale and other phenomena, can be regarded as somewhat reined, and the emerging team of Hongmen has returned to their proper trajectory.

The so-called fighting the country is easy to sit on the country, and the same is true for cultivating a team, until now Li Tianyang deeply understands the bitterness and difficulty in this sentence, for this reason, Hongmen in this series of rectification movements, reformulated more than 40 rules and regulations, and punished more than 300 related personnel.

In non-essential positions, all regular members must return to the Hongmen base camp after three to five years of work to carry out ideological education, ethics training, etc., which can be regarded as a long-term and far-reaching work.

Special occupations such as spy warfare centers that travel far away, because of their identity and other relationships, cannot return to Dayuan Island to reorganize their thoughts, but Hongmen has obviously noticed the problem, and the liaison personnel sent out every time can be rotated, and these liaison personnel will baptize their thoughts, understand each other's inner dynamics and changes, and strengthen the connection between them and their relatives at home, which is the complex and necessary work that Hongmen will carry out later.

A rectification movement has been carried out throughout the long time of Chongzhen's twelve years, although on the surface it seems to have little impact on Hongmen, but it has caused a lot of riots and other signs, but from the inside, it is a re-tempering of Hongmen, so that the whole team in these years of expansion and other uneven personnel to refine, to preserve the unity of thought of the whole team, so that the entire team whether in cooperation, or in actual work, the efficiency has been greatly improved.

At the same time that Hongmen was vigorously rectifying, the north of the Ming Dynasty at this moment was once again caught in the flames of war.

In the original history, at the end of last year, the Qing Dynasty should have initiated the trip to enter the Kou, because the previous war in Korea was not smooth, and it has been delayed until now, at the end of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, finally the previous year from the Korean looted from the many population, materials completely digested, their own losses of soldiers after the replenishment, the Qing Dynasty Emperor Huang Taiji ordered, the powerful Jurchen iron cavalry finally brandished their swords again, facing the cold wind towards the Ming Dynasty border army in Liaodong to kill.

The Qing army, which was now almost a year late, was launched at this time, and the losses it could inflict on the Ming Dynasty were actually too different from the original history.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had the collapse of the Jin merchants brought about by a box of account books in Hongmen, which brought tens of millions of taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty's finances, which not only made up for the arrears of the border army soldiers' salaries, but also had the spare strength to make up for the armaments of the border army soldiers.

Later, there were Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and other governors and supervisors spared no effort to suppress the peasant army in the Central Plains, and the peasant armies of all walks of life suffered a heavy blow, and with a series of measures taken by the government to appease the displaced people and refugees, the peasant army uprising movement at this time happened to be at the lowest point and other periods, so that the Ming Dynasty could stretch out its spare strength to intercept the Qing army's entry into the Kou this time.
