Chapter 152: Comrade Yang Xiuqing
Changsha, Hunan, independent cold autumn Xiangjiang River to the north, orange island head, ten thousand mountains and red leaves, the forest is dyed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Hundreds of Battles......
("The above is so familiar, where is it?") The author wondered. )
That's right, this is still Changsha, but it is seventy-three years earlier than Changsha in the poem of that famous great man. However, it is still late autumn, and the red leaves are still everywhere on time, and it is still near the head of Orange Island, and it is also a hundred boats competing for the stream. But this competition is not as beautiful as the one in the poet. On the contrary, there was an air of slaughter, and the sailors on those ships were obviously not ordinary sailors, they were all sailors who had undergone rigorous training.
"After the training of the Heavenly Naval Army, the commander of the Heavenly Naval Army, Luo Xuan, please ask His Royal Highness the Eastern King to watch the troops!" Luo Xuan shouted.
Yang Xiuqing, the eastern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, took Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, Wei Changhui, the king of the north, and several important people around him, such as Hong Xuanjiao, the royal sister of the Heavenly King, and Su Sanniang, a famous female general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, participated in the review of the naval army. As for the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, he has been hollowed out by Yang Xiuqing, and his real power has become smaller and smaller. However, everyone also acquiesced to this result, because Yang Xiuqing is very good in military and political talent, and now he is completely dependent on him.
As for Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, he has already died in battle, and he has not even left a descendant. And for some reason, Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, who should have been killed in battle, actually survived. This time they conquered Changsha, stayed in Changsha for more than a year, and finally trained a relatively strong naval army.
The completion of this naval training means that the previous plan can be carried out, which is to go down the Yangtze River from the waterway, directly attack Jiangning, seize the important city of Jiangning, and establish a southern regime that can be qualified to confront the northern regime.
After inspecting the navy, Dongwang thought that he was very satisfied, and this more than 100,000 navy army made the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom almost the most powerful naval force in China. Although it is still inferior to the sea ships of foreigners, in China, more than 100,000 sailors can almost walk sideways in China's rivers, lakes and seas.
"Five days later, the entire navy was dispatched down the Yangtze River, and it was necessary to conquer Jiangning before it snowed! Conquer Jiangning and establish our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, shouted.
"Obey the decree of the East King 9,000 years old!" More than 100,000 sailors shouted like a tsunami.
(That's right, Yang Xiuqing is 9,000 years old, Tianwang Hong Xiuquan is long live, Dongwang is 9,000 years old, and the following is gradually decreasing!) )
Yang Xiuqing returned to Dongwang Xingyuan in Changsha, and then immediately began to prepare for the office. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's war machine was already in operation, ready to attack at any time, but Yang Xiuqing did not have that in mind.
"King Dong, news has come from Fujian, and the troops that Lin Huai originally controlled have broken away from self-reliance. When Lin Huai came to report on his work, they had already broken away from self-reliance and supported a woman named Qiu Erniang. However, this Qiu Erniang is not simple, she actually swept Fujian within half a year, and this time she recovered Fujian. At present, Zhejiang has fallen into the hands of the Heaven and Earth Society, and Fujian has fallen into the hands of Qiu Erniang. But what is surprising is that the control of these two provinces is all women! This time it's really interesting, the woman actually became a prince! Someone reported.
Su Sanniang immediately asked unceremoniously: "Look down on women?" Do you have a knack for comparing your hands with me? “
That guy is embarrassed, who doesn't know that there are many female generals in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The most famous female generals in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are Hong Xuanjiao and Su Sanniang. Hong Xuanjiao is the leader of the women's battalion, the leader of the female cultists, and the royal sister of the Heavenly King, the Queen of the West. However, Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, has died in battle, but his name has been decided. Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not explicitly order widows to have the obligation to observe festivals, but after hundreds of years of habit, no one who has subconsciously persuaded Hong Xuanjiao to remarry, after all, as long as the name is decided, it is Xiao Chaogui's woman, even if there is no round house.
And the other female general, that is, Su Sanniang. Su Sanniang is not a simple person, she just got married more than ten years ago, her husband was killed, she borrowed thousands of people from the Tiandihui of Liangguang to take revenge, and was finally wanted by the Manchu government. Later, Su Sanniang spread between Guangdong and Guangxi, and even later participated in the Jintiancun Uprising, and was one of the meritorious veterans of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The real power of Hong Xuanjiao and Su Sanniang ranked at least in the top 20 in the early days of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Su Sanniang's martial arts are very powerful, even a brave general on the battlefield, and most of the men in the Taiping Army can't beat this Su Sanniang.
However, Yang Xiuqing said: "Okay, don't say more." I already know everything about Fujian. Let's leave him alone for the time being, but I'm not most concerned about conquering Jiangning right now. I don't think it's a problem to conquer Jiangning, I've already received the news. Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, had already begun to support his troops, and even he seemed to have smelled the smell, and had begun to loot all kinds of wealth and grain in Jiangsu, and then he was ready to retreat to Jiangxi at any time. It doesn't take too hard for us to conquer Jiangsu. So I won't worry about anything after conquering Jiangning, but what I'm worried about is what we should do after we establish the Kingdom of Heaven? ”
Yang Xiuqing did not hide it and said: "At first, I wanted to get involved in a heavenly land system, but then I found out that there are actually many people who have similar ideas to us!" You look at this book, it's called "On Protracted War", and it's actually a coincidence that I got this book. At that time, I sent someone to investigate the rebellion of Qiu Erniang, a subordinate of Lin Huai in Fujian, and did something big, I sent someone to investigate. I managed to get in touch with someone who still had a good impression of my heavenly kingdom, and he gave it to the person I sent. ”
"I read this book and I was really shocked! There is still someone who thinks the same way as us, and he actually thinks that the land should be shared by the whole country. This is similar to the system of acres after the sky rubbing the sky that I made at that time. However, he believes that the road ahead is to still move towards a method called complete public ownership, where everyone produces together, shares wealth, and enjoys it together, and will gradually think about the transition to complete public ownership. ”
"I've seen that this is similar to our Sacred Treasury system. Therefore, I think that this Chen Dingtian is actually a person with us all the way, and I thought of it. ”
There was a lot of discussion among the people present, and they didn't expect that there were people who thought the same as them. He actually agreed with complete public ownership, and there was a similar system of Tianchao Tianmu. It was strange to them that others agreed with this one so much.
However, Yang Xiuqing actually has a lot of good feelings about Cheng Dingtian, because when he broke through in Yong'an, Yang Xiuqing once used Chen Dingtian's famous words in the old man's travels "The revolution is innocent and the rebellion is justified" as an excuse to boost morale, and the result suddenly had a miraculous effect.
Now I actually see that Chen Dingtian and his thoughts are very similar, which makes Yang Xiuqing feel a little like seeing a confidant! originally had a good impression, but coupled with such a similar concept of governance and social philosophy, Yang Xiuqing felt quite like this Chen Dingtian wanted to meet.
"Although he didn't talk much about the land in this "On Protracted War", it was a profound inspiration to me. He said that it would not be possible to completely implement public ownership in a short period of time, because there are still very serious remnants of private ownership. In addition, if the land is hastily shared, then the people's enthusiasm for planting will not increase, but will suppress the people's enthusiasm for planting. ”
He gave a few examples, and I was inspired. Although he was in favor of gradually moving towards public ownership in the future, he could not be in a hurry, and our original system of the Holy Treasury was obviously too hasty, obviously too eager to establish our ideal kingdom of heaven, so it neglected many things. ”
"Although Chen Dingtian's "On Protracted War" does not have many words, it has inspired me deeply. I would very much like to have more of what he has written soon. However, I have already planned to change it, and after recovering the land, I will adopt a strategy similar to that of Fujian and Zhejiang, rather than inheriting it from generation to generation. ”
"Also, with regard to the system of the Holy Treasury, it is not appropriate to pay all the money to the Holy Treasury. The method of paying the sacred treasury that we have laid down is too crude, so I plan to clarify it in the future. In the future, 20% will be paid to the Holy Treasury, and the rest can be disposed of by himself. While retaining a certain degree of private property, major estates, such as land, and other important lifelines, are jointly owned, that is, they belong to the Holy Treasury. For other day-to-day activities, you can keep part of your private property. ”
Since Yang Xiuqing got this Chen Dingtian's "On Protracted War", he immediately began to study it in depth. This is a treasure trove, and although there are not many aspects of the land system in it, it is clearly a very important thing. Let Yang Xiuqing know that the Tianwi Hou Tian Mu system and the holy treasury system that he designated obviously have a lot of shortcomings. In particular, Yang Xiuqing did not take into account that private ownership could not be fully entered into public ownership, which would cause many problems.
Even, Yang Xiuqing didn't realize that he had also read decay and degeneration in his original history. Yang Xiuqing himself was also corrupted and degenerated in his original history, becoming a powerful and greedy person, and he had long thrown that past ideal to the Pacific Ocean.
However, at present, he got this "On Protracted War" in time, and even further knew the various deficiencies in his own system, which also allowed him to carry out a lot of work reforms in a timely manner. In particular, the land system of the past will be modeled after Chen Dingtian's method of granting the tenure of the contract in Zhejiang and Fujian, rather than granting it to the people all the time. And on the premise that the main means of production remain under public ownership, partial private ownership is allowed.
As for the holy treasury system, it is only to pay 20% of the wealth, not to pay all of it in the past. In this way, the existence of some private ownership is preserved, which is conducive to future excesses. In the future, the Heavenly Treasury will not be responsible for the daily food and clothing of the people, but only for major social security expenditures and military and other defense expenditures.
In this way, Yang Xiuqing felt that there were still people who had the same ideas as herself, and they still had the same ideas about the improvement of the social system as herself, which made Yang Xiuqing feel a little "I am not alone".
"Obey the decree of the East King 9,000 years old!"
Everyone obeyed the order together, because everyone was afraid of Yang Xiuqing, a powerful minister. Yang Xiuqing has become more and more powerful these days, so that everyone does not dare to object. Anyway, everyone doesn't have much faith in this so-called worship of God. At their level, can they not know what kind of this worship of God will be? Isn't it just to fool the people at the bottom, if it weren't forced by life, where would they rebel.
In fact, the proportion of true followers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not high. Most of them are mainly Hunanese. This soldier, who was mainly from Hunan, did not have many people who were religious. Those real believers have either been promoted or died in battle, and there are hardly a few real believers at the grassroots level. Even if there are a few so-called baptismal believers, they are just a false believer, not a true believer.
They don't believe in this so-called holy treasury! In fact, they are also very dissatisfied with this holy treasury, because if they want to hand over all their wealth, it is obviously difficult for them to make a direct transition as a person who has enjoyed private ownership for a long time. Yang Xiuqing's decision to abolish this system of paying all the sacred treasury and changing it to payment practice is not unacceptable, and he retains most of his wealth. As for the functions of the so-called holy treasury system, they have also changed, and they will not continue to be responsible for daily food and clothing, but will be responsible for big things.
Yang Xiuqing's idea is actually an abolition that is in line with everyone's ideas, and everyone naturally wants to support it. As for that Chen Dingtian, everyone began to inquire in their hearts, what kind of immortal is this Chen Dingtian, who can "guess" Dongwang's 9,000-year-old idea so much, this is not simple. Everyone is not stupid, they must know very well that in the future, this Chen Dingtian will definitely become the most important guest secretary of the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing, even if he is not a guest secretary, at least he is an important friend in governing the country.
Yang Xiuqing took this "On Protracted War" and whispered: "I didn't expect that someone actually had the same very similar idea as me, although there were some differences in the specific details, I advocated rapid change, and he advocated gradual change." But our ultimate goal is the same, to build a world of great harmony. In that way, we are all 'comrades' with the same aspirations! Now, I really want to meet your 'comrade' as soon as possible, so that you know that there is another 'comrade' in this world who thinks the same way as you. ”
"Order, all the books written by Chen Dingtian should be collected for me as soon as possible!" Yang Xiuqing said.
(Don't think crooked, pig's feet don't stir the base!) (To be continued.) )
