Chapter 346: Rolling Development

After half a year of digestion in Zhejiang and Jiangxi, all of them finally came under the control of the Red Flower Society, Zhejiang's literary style was prosperous, and the feudal stubborn forces were extremely strong. The Red Flower Society first patiently explained, and the staff went out to win the support of the lower classes, and then used the iron fist of the government to smash the heads of the stubborn landlords.

Since these ancestors were able to succumb to the violence of the Manchus, they did not have the courage and ability to resist the violence of the Red Flower Society, but in this way, the reputation of the Red Flower Society in Shilin was ruined. However, Chen Jialuo didn't care, the Red Flower Society he led was not just going to carry out a simple change of dynasty, but a revolution that had not been seen in a thousand years; These so-called Shilin elites should have followed the feudal landlords into the dustbin of history a long time ago.

However, it is not that there are no Confucian people who come to join the Red Flower Society, because of the relationship between Kong Chuanliu, Kong Chuanjin, the head of the Southern Sect of the Kong family in Quzhou, Zhejiang, and his family took refuge, which saved a lot of image for the Red Flower Society in Shilin.

This Kong Chuanjin is a direct descendant of Confucius; In the second year of Song Jingkang, the Jin soldiers destroyed the Song Dynasty. King Kang Zhao crossed to the south, established the Southern Song Dynasty regime, and changed his name to Jianyan. In the second year (1128 AD), Kong Duanyou, the forty-eighth generation of Yan Shenggong in Yangzhou, went to participate in the ceremony.

Kong Duanyou and some Confucian descendants accompanied the southern crossing, carrying the Zigong hand copy of Confucius and the wife of the official, as a holy relic. Later, he was enshrined in the construction of a family temple in Quzhou, Zhejiang, and no longer returned to Qufu, and his descendants were hereditary titles, and they were named Yan Shenggong by the Southern Song Dynasty, which was for Nanzong.

Jin soldiers entered the Central Plains and established the puppet Qi Liu Yu regime. In 1131 A.D., Kong Fan, the nephew of Kong Duanyou, was named the Holy Duke of Yan. When Liu Yu was defeated, Jin Xizong still crowned Kong Fan as the Holy Duke of Yan in 1139 A.D., and was the Northern Sect.

The Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty and unified China, and in the first year of Xianzong (1251 AD), the 52nd generation Sun Kong Zhen of Beizong was named the Holy Duke of Yan.

Because Kong Zhen is the grandson of Kong Yuancuo, but he once remarried with his mother and changed his surname to Li, and then Kong Yuancuo took it back to raise him. was exposed by the Confucian clan, and was dismissed the following year, and the Holy Duke of Xinyan was not appointed, resulting in a vacant title.

Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, visited the Confucian people in the nineteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1282 AD), and planned to establish the Yan Sheng Gong, and ordered Kong Zhu, who was the sixth generation of the Yan Sheng Gong of Nanzong at that time, to go to Beijing to discuss the seal. Kong Zhu said that because the ancestors of this branch have been in Qu for five generations, it is difficult to abandon them.

Therefore, since then, the position of Yan Shenggong has become the exclusive domain of the Northern Sect, while the Southern Sect has become more and more confused, from the above historical narrative. It can be understood that the Southern Sect is actually the authentic descendant of Confucius, but the Northern Sect was recognized by the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty and became nominally officially authentic. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of Kong Chuanjin's visit, of course, this is a beneficial thing for the Red Flower Society, Chen Jialuo not only did not refuse, but also gave Kong Chuanjin great courtesy.

As for the situation in Jiangxi, it is different from Zhejiang, Jiangxi is much more barren than Zhejiang, and the people's customs are more stubborn. There are many bandits; Most of the bandits are located in precipitous places, which is not conducive to the deployment of large armies. Therefore, the Red Flower Society transferred almost seventy percent of the special forces to Jiangxi, and after half a year of suppressing bandits, the bandit trouble in the entire Jiangxi was cleared.

In addition, there is another custom in Jiangxi that Chen Jialuo hates very much, that is, drowning girls, which means that people here usually choose to drown baby girls after giving birth to them; As for the reason, it is because the dowry here in Jiangxi is very heavy, and the poor family has to marry a daughter for at least more than ten taels of silver. Those who are slightly richer will have to pay a hundred taels.

This economic collapse world where you don't have to go into a hotel and order half a pound of beef to throw out a silver ingot, this money is very unbearable for the people, and it is probably similar to the pressure on the family of current college graduates to buy a house in the imperial capital; Therefore, after studying the reasons for this custom, the Red Flower Society strictly banned infant drowning and publicly punished a group of people who disobeyed the wind, and then held a large-scale blind date in Jiangxi.

Both the government and military departments of the Red Flower Society are mostly young people. Now that they have also reached the age of marriage, these young people who work for the official family and have a bright future have quickly attracted the attention of Jiangxi people. And the policy given by the Red Flower Society is not only not to marry, but also to give a small amount of bride price.

At the same time, some textile mills, weaving factories and other factories were gradually completed in Jiangxi, and the operation of these factories required a large number of female workers.

While severely punishing the perpetrators of infant drowning, and gradually changing their perception that raising girls is a money-losing commodity through blind dates, coupled with the recruitment of factories throughout the province, the atmosphere in Jiangxi Province has gradually improved.

At the beginning, the Red Flower Society could win a province in Funing with the strength of a county, a province in Fujian with the strength of a province in Funing, and a province in Fujian to win two provinces.

With the expansion of the territory more than tripled, the human and natural resources under its rule increased exponentially, and the huge market in these three provinces, the industrialization process of the Red Flower Society is once again on the fast track.

Now the Red Flower Society has begun to try to build a railway from Fuzhou to Hangzhou, and the first section of the route from Fuzhou to Fuding has begun to lay sleepers, and the Spaniards and Manchus who came from the previous prisoners of war can be regarded as having a place to use, these people are under the deterrence of leather whips and rifles, digging mountains and bridges, leveling roads, and thinking of the leisurely life in the past, I really want to cry without tears.

The biggest advantage of Zhejiang falling into the hands of the Red Flower Society is that it has the largest textile industry base in the country, plus the tea of Zhejiang and Fujian, and the porcelain of Jiangxi, the Red Flower Society now has a large number of foreign trade products, and there is an endless stream of Indian ships coming and going to China every day, and the merchant ships transport tea and bring back all kinds of industrial raw materials produced in India.

After losing these three provinces, the Qing court not only lost a huge amount of tax revenue, but the prices of silk, cloth, porcelain and tea in other places rose rapidly, and many smuggling gangs were born under the drive of glass, and even many Manchus also devoted themselves to it.

Aligon's death caused a huge shock in the Qing court, which was almost the last mobile force that the court could come up with, and the proposal for regimental training was raised again. (To be continued......)
