Chapter 439: If you want to fight outside, rule inside first

Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass

When Yang Fuqing and Chen Chengying walked into the Western-style building where Yang Xiuqing lived, it was dusky outside, and there was wind and sand. Now that spring has begun, if it is in the south, it should be the season when the spring rain will continue. In Beijing, it is still windy and sandy, almost wrapping the entire city in a dusk.

Most of the people in the Heavenly Army are vulgar people, such as Yang Fuqing and Chen Chengying, who can understand some words and can do some government affairs, are already talented. Therefore, both of them were left in Beijing by Yang Xiuqing and did not go out to lead the troops.

"When the king of the east saw the move, is it to abolish the men's camp and the women's camp?"

The two of them bowed to Yang Xiuqing, and then Chen Chengying asked first. The system of men's and women's battalions was intended to be a temporary measure to facilitate marching and combat, and was not to be implemented permanently, otherwise there would be no successor to the revolution of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Now that Beijing has been obtained, in the eyes of the ordinary generals of the Heavenly Kingdom, it is a great success, so the call for the abolition of the male and female camps is very high, and Yang God does not dare to disobey the will of the people, and not long ago issued the edict of the East King, deciding to abolish the camp system. However, Hong Xiuquan took the opportunity to take Yang Xiuqing's army and asked the soldiers under the East King to go to Luoyang to reunite with their families. It turned out that when Yang Xiuqing sent troops to the Northern Expedition, the family members of the generals did not accompany him, and they were still stranded in Luoyang and Xiangyang, and now they have become a bargaining chip in Hong Xiuquan's hands. If the Dongdian army will go to Xiangluo, I am afraid that it will be absorbed by the Heavenly King immediately.

Yang Xiuqing groaned: "It is not necessary to bring his wife from Xiangluo in the very male and female camps...... There is a shortage of food in Zhilu and Henan, and even hundreds of thousands of people may have problems with food and clothing. It is better to choose a marriage match from among the disaster victims, and when the north of the Huai River is completely pacified in the future, the king will take everyone to Luoyang Province to receive people in person. ”

Chen Chengying said: "But the will of the Heavenly Father? ”

Yang Xiuqing nodded: "It is the will of Heavenly Father." A wife can be chosen for a military general according to the size of the official position. Unmarried girls or younger widows were selected from among the victims. Let the brothers have a home. ”

"Your Majesty's Order."

By the Father's will. Again, they knelt and prostrate. Then Yang Fuqing took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands: "His Royal Highness the East King, I just received a letter from the Protector of Heaven, the Cao Gang leader has agreed to take refuge in the Heavenly Kingdom, and hundreds of thousands of Cao Gang disciples are all used by my Heavenly Kingdom." ”

"Oh, that's great." Yang Xiuqing's face did not show any joy, he had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time. Naturally, I know what kind of goods the Dao Cao Gang is. "Go and reply to the Hou Tianhou, let the Cao Gang make some small movements from time to time, disturb the security of the Southern Dynasty, and then let the Cao Gang disciples go to Miao Peilin to be a soldier. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to Zhu Ming's movements and report from time to time. ”

"Your Majesty's Order." Yang Fuqing said.

Yang Xiuqing asked Chen Chengying again: "Have all the wasted land around Beijing been measured?" Have the victims ever formed into a battalion? ”

Chen Chengying said: "The land around the Jingshi is recorded in the Shuntian Mansion Yamen of the Qing Demon, which is quite careful, and it can be distributed without measuring again. More than 1 million families have been sheltered, and 80 armies can be formed. ”

"80 Army...... It seems to be a little more. Yang Xiuqing frowned. 80 corps needs 80 army commanders, 400 division commanders, and 2,000 brigade commanders. 10,000 pawns, 40,000 two horses. There are still 200,000 Wu Commanders under the two Simas. Moreover, there are subordinate officials above the commander of the army, and the officials of the heavenly kingdom in these 80 armies alone must have exceeded 300,000! More than all the officials of Zhu Ming and the Manchu Qing combined! Not to mention how much it costs to be an official, even if you don't want one, there are not so many cadres available in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! You can't send all the old brothers brought out from Guangxi and Hunan to be officials, right? Without these old brothers, can the Taiping Army still fight?

"Let's make eight armies...... Where ten families produce a holy soldier. Yang Xiuqing thought about it for a while and made some adjustments to the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System". These eight new armies and the subsequent armies are all reserve armies, and all the armies formed before the Huaxian War are all regular armies, and the regular army is supplied by the holy treasury and does not need to work on the farmland. ”

Dongwang paused again: "After the implementation of the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" around Beijing, it will still need to be implemented in Zhili and Lubei...... All land needs to be redistributed, and all the people need to be organized into regiments and battalions, and those who enter must be the people, and those who leave must be the army. ”

Speaking of this, he stood up abruptly and waved his big hand: "After the people of Zhili and Lubei are used by me, this king will personally raise the army to go south, sweep away Zhu Ming, and unify the country!" ”

……

At this time, in the Southern Dynasty, it was already the beginning of April of the 2nd year of liberation. Luo Bingzhang, the new chief college student, came to Jiangnan from Hubei in mid-February to take up his post, and after more than a month of busyness, the preliminary examination of the Jiangnan imperial examination has been completed. Now in Yingtian City, there are Confucian students from Liangjiang and three provinces, all of whom are here to participate in the re-examination, and as long as they pass, they will be the sesame mung bean officials of the Ming Dynasty. But it is not enough to have sesame officials, dozens of prefectures in Liangjiang and three provinces, more than 200 counties, and a court in Nuoda, I don't know how many black yarn hats need to be worn by people. Naturally, these officials cannot be produced by the technology of "ladder promotion", and can only be elected first.

Therefore, Zhu Jishi's temporary palace and Zuo Zongtang's cabinet office and Luo Bingzhang's bachelor's mansion are full of people these days, and all day long, celebrities and scholars from all over the world come and go, all want to find an official hat for themselves.

Although it is so noisy and noisy every day, Zhu Jishi is very energetic, and he meets guests, holds meetings, writes letters, and issues edicts in the temporary palace all day long. It seems that it is time to recover Guangdong and establish a country for the first time.

At this time, he was smiling and listening to Su Yuniang talking to him about meeting Pan Yuanxiang, the leader of the Cao Gang in Hangzhou.

"Monk Pan (Pan Yuanxiang's nickname, a popular nickname behind the back on the rivers and lakes, Zhu Jishi's nickname is Zhu Guizi) is old, but he is in his sixties, he is deaf and dazzled, and several apprentices are presiding over the situation. I heard that I was the princess, and I asked a few apprentices to support me and kowtow, calling me a thousand years old...... The apprentices also knelt down and slammed their heads together. Monk Pan cried out loud, and said to me: Niang Niang Chitose, hundreds of thousands of people in our Cao Gang are our own people, just asking for a peaceful birthday, and now Cao Yun is cut off, the big guy has no income, and the bitterness is going to die, Niang Niang must pity us and pity us, and enjoy food. I vaguely agreed, and Monk Pan also asked people to take a few calligraphy and paintings to give me, and there was a check for 100,000 yuan from HSBC. This Cao gang has helped this day, to be honest, it is really pitiful...... It seems that we misunderstood the Cao Gang before, and they didn't have that much thought at all. ”

Su Yuniang is the temperament of a gangster, righteous, enough friends, and eats soft rather than hard. Monk Pan cried, begged for gifts, and Yu Niang's heart naturally softened. The grudge of the Qinghong Gang is an old account of one or two hundred years, and she and Monk Pan don't know each other at all, so how can there be any grudges?

Zhu Jishi listened to her with a smile, but put away his smile again, shook his head and sighed: "Yu Niang, after all, we are all mixed in the rivers and lakes, red flowers, green leaves, and white lotus roots, the truth that the three sects are originally one family naturally knows the Tao." Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of people of the Green Gang are also lonely people, how can there be any reason to watch them starve to death? ”

He paused for a moment and asked again: "Have you told Monk Pan about letting the children of the Qinggang emigrate to Borneo and Manchuria?" ”

Su Yuniang said with a smile: "I have said it, I have said it, Monk Pan has already responded with his mouth, saying that he will persuade the disciples and grandchildren below as soon as possible, but they are used to helping their children to be comfortable, and they still want to be able to get through Cao Yun as soon as possible." ”

The corners of Zhu Jishi's mouth hooked, revealing a vague smile, Monk Pan pretended to be good, but he did not confess the visit of the envoy of the Northern Dynasty. In Su Yuniang's opinion, this may be the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, but now that the three kingdoms are competing, where can we talk about righteousness? This Monk Pan seems to have some big thoughts.

However, there is no need to break it at the moment, and you can wait and see what happens. The disciples of the Cao Gang are not rebels like the Heaven and Earth Society and the White Lotus Sect. For more than 100 years, they have been engaged in transportation in An'an, how much rebellion can they have? Even if they don't have food and clothing, most of them will develop into the path of the underworld. I am afraid that there will be no one in a hundred who will really rebel. Now you can look at the Northern Dynasty while combing the south of the Yangtze River, and see how Yang Xiuqing plays his cards. (To be continued......)
