Chapter 444: Leisurely Scroll (Continued.)
In addition to the Taiping soldiers in armor and holding staffs, there were also many ordinary people in coats or gray cloth quilts.
These returned with the army were thousands of medical craftsmen and other professionals of all kinds from Huainan; Several batches have been transported through the Yangtze River water before, and this is the last batch that can be collected.
You must know that after all, Lianghuai is like today's first-class prosperity and wealth. Compared with other places, there are few wars and famines, so the heritage accumulated by various humanities in the past dynasties is still quite rich.
It's just that most of the rebels only care about the most intuitive grain, grass and goods and Ding Zhuang who can fill the army in the process of conquering the city; The potential value of other aspects can be ignored and discarded. This gave the Taiping army the opportunity to follow behind in the name of helping the war and casually pick up leaks to enrich the foundation of the rear.
After all, in ancient and modern times, whether or not there is a sufficient number and proportion of practitioners who have received basic education or have some skills is a particularly important indicator of whether an emerging power and government is operating healthily and has sufficient development potential.
Compared with the vast majority of the agricultural population in this era, who can only be used for the most basic crude benzene labor, they are the easiest to convert into intuitive productivity bonuses, or through organizational arrangements to achieve results in the short term.
This is like Ah San, who was known as a populous country in later generations, and under the oppression of the caste system and slaves and feudal remnants, he occupied the majority of the illiterate labor force of the population; Compared with China, which also claims to be a populous country but has forced the completion of nine-year compulsory education from the bottom up, the effectiveness that can be played in an industrialized society is completely incomparable.
Of course, Ah San also has the spiritual victory method known as pearl seed oil, and the bonus of the solidification of the caste class for generations, so he does not fall behind any civilization on earth in terms of feeling good about himself.
Of course, they may not all be willing to follow the Taiping army, but compared to the swords and guns and rather limited patience in the hands of those other rebels; The vast majority of people will still choose to cooperate obediently and accept the reality of leaving their homes to live again.
In addition to the usual craftsmen, slaves, and literate people, the Taiping army also paid to recruit women and orphans who were left alone by the war, which was a long-term plan that was purely utilitarian for the time being. Again, that's the truth.
Women were allowed to enter factories to participate in collective labor in traditional light industry, and arrange for families to be formed to produce offspring and reproduce the population; It is of great benefit to stabilizing the morale of the armed forces and enriching the social structure of the localities.
And after the orphans grow up through the mature training mechanism introduced by the Taiping Army, they are the natural diehards and supporters of the Taiping Army, as well as the potential backbone of the army and securities.
Although this has the implication of coercive guidance, it is much more humane than letting them fend for themselves and be displaced on the way, and finally die of starvation and disease in an unknown corner.
During the Taiping army's conquest of Huainan, it could have continued to collect more existence through various channels; But after this series of events, I am afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, and I can only accept it.
In the future, it may be possible to maintain contact with individual relatives through private channels, but it is impossible to reproduce the cooperation and convenience that will be spread out in a comprehensive way after the alliance.
You must know that the Taiping Army could also use the "three detachments" sent in other rebel armies to formulate the corresponding liquidation list of the five categories of black such as "families, gentry, wealthy families, eunuchs, and officials". Then, with the help of friendly forces, these local support bases of the imperial government will be cleared.
Riding on the "Pi Phi Shrimp II" (the first generation) that snorted from time to time, Zhou Huai'an slowly recalled while looking at the scenery and scenery along the way. At least on the way back from the south of the Yangtze River, I have seen the paddy fields that have been cleared one after another, and a small number of figures who have begun to cultivate in them from time to time;
Although the war is still raging now, as long as there is a little calming down, these small people, who are as humble as ants and tenacious as weeds, still strive to provide food and clothing for the coming year, and work hard to shed hard sweat.
At present, and it can be determined, that after the strength of the Taiping army is reduced and consolidated, it will maintain the three larger cities along the river in Jiangdong, namely Xunyang in Jiangzhou and Jiangning and Dantu in Runzhou, as the core strongholds, plus the corresponding tuntian areas along the river that are convenient for support and transportation during the period. Follow-up work and governance on this.
Of course, after the wrong period of normal farming. In addition to promoting the substitution of melons and vegetables with a short harvest period, the Taiping Army will also try to plant improved rice varieties from outside the mountains for 100 days.
This crop does not yield well and does not taste good; The only advantage is that with basic water, soil, rain and heat, it can grow quickly, and it is relatively resistant to pests and diseases. Therefore, with a simple group care, you can reap the rewards before the onset of winter.
And as an outsider force, the appearance of crops that can be harvested quickly also plays the most intuitive and important role in stabilizing the hearts of the newly occupied local people. Since ancient times, the stability of the regime has been almost intuitively reflected in the results of farming.
At least those rogue bandits who survive overnight and whirl up and whirlwind, or the officers and soldiers who just want to plunder for a while, do not need to consider similar problems.
"Zhou Lang,"
With the voice of the warbler, behind the curtain lifted on the carriage next to it, a small face with a pretty smile came to greet him.
"It's hot and thirsty that day, this is my hand-blended drink to relieve fatigue, and I hope Lang Jun will use it."
"Okay, thank you."
He boarded the carriage instead, and took it and slowly savored the taste of traditional tea powder and various seasonings.
It's just that, looking at the wolfberries and red dates floating in the cup of tea, Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but have a strange feeling of relying on himself as he got old; And the waist also has a faint feeling, well, this must be because it was too late to study physiological and health knowledge yesterday.
Does this girl already know something? You must know that although you haven't put her out of the Dharma on the spot; And always treat each other with courtesy. But in the past few days, Cui Wanting was secretly called over in private, and my fair lady was left to show up, and even observed each other as a demonstration.
However, before he could come to his senses, the girl who was squatting on the silk mat brought out another red lacquered luodian food box; When opened, there are several delicate side dishes that are still warm; Braised bamboo shoots in oil, 100 stacks of green cakes, three Ding Linglong pills, shrimp stuffed eggs.
"I have heard that Zhou Lang is good at using snacks, and the slaves are not good at washing their hands and making soup for you, and they are talking about flowers and offering Buddhas."
"In that case, then you can feed me."
Zhou Huaian smiled dumbly.
Then he gently opened the table, and grabbed her light body without saying anything, and sat sideways on his cross-legged knees. fed her a piece of green cake for the unknown one, and then clasped her teeth at the blushing delicate face, stirring and tasting it as much as she could.
"Menglang favors him, and the slave does not live up to it."
The girl, who didn't have much strength to resist, squeezed in a voice as thin as a mosquito.
。。。。。。
And in Gaoyou City, which was caused by the relocation of the military government's main formation, a lobbyist who came rashly also made that statement in front of Huang Chao.
"Feng Wang, worship Yu Shi Zhongcheng, Xun Tejin, grant the land of the three towns? Don't laugh, but I don't know how to be the master of the school compared to my family Changshan King? ”
The person who came unceremoniously let out a sneer.
"King Huang has really stayed in the south for a long time, and he has been relieved of the local customs in the south of the Yangtze River. It's not even as good as that. Monk Zhou saw things more clearly. Others have rejected the seal of Fang Yue of the imperial court several times, and they are reasonable and determined not to change, just like my family Changshan King and the school inspector Taifu are also deeply fascinated. ”
"It's that what the Yellow King did was obviously a major event that shook the world, but he still remembered the name and position falsely awarded by the imperial court; Now that Zhou's monks are all over the land of Annam, Lingnan, Hunan, and Jingnan, even if there is no name given by the imperial court, isn't it a real strength? ”
"To put it mildly, if my generation has such a strong and strong force as the Yellow King, then where can the world be so big, where can it not be taken as the foundation, and why should it be according to the planning and calculation of the imperial court, and he Shuo, who has never respected the imperial court, will be defeated."
"Speaking of the long way and the near, this is still a plan by the imperial court to delay the army, which is nothing more than to make your ministry spend some time in Huainan, so that you can entangle with the high-ranking envoy and hurt each other more; In this way, even if the Yellow King understands that he will come over and wave his troops to the north in the future, it will also give the imperial court more buffer and leeway to dispatch troops to wait for the battle, isn't it. ”
"Not to mention the noble army itself, the two Zhejiangs and Huainan in Jiangdong are all rich places in the world; If the Yellow King is more than a year long, hehe; I'm afraid that my subordinates will have more thoughts and other thoughts. If it is at that time, even if there is no precedent of the monk of that week, will it still stop more people from standing on their own feet and not looking for wealth and nobility? ”
"Under such disadvantages, will the Yellow King dare to re-enter the Central Plains in the future? It's just a repetition of Pang Xun's story more than ten years ago. ”
However, this series of unceremonious words did not make Huang Chao angry; On the contrary, it was undeniable to wave his hand and ask the craftsman to go out, and then said to Huang Rui, the accompanying secretary:
"Fourth, first control Doulu and the others, don't give them a chance to walk in the army."
