Chapter 26: The Final Battle (1)

The completion of the term of office is not only a replacement of the old with the new, but also a change of power.

In order to balance the power of the various parties, sometimes the position of provincial governor must be changed on a large scale. It is very likely that those who were originally promoted from below will not be able to continue to serve as provincial governors in their own localities, but will have to take up the position of provincial governor elsewhere. If you are lucky, you will naturally be transferred from the second- and third-tier provinces to the prosperous first-tier provinces; But there are also those who are unlucky, from the vice governor of the first-tier province to the third-tier province as the governor, giving people a sense of rising and falling.

For example, Yang He, who served as the governor of Shandong Province, was not forced to retire due to the change of office, but he had to be transferred from Shandong to Naturalized (formerly Indonesian) Province to serve as governor. In this way, the land under its jurisdiction and its own status seem to have improved a lot, but the difference between one is Shandong, a second-tier province, and the other is Southeast Asia, which is remote and far away from the mainland, and the difference between them is still very obvious.

However, many people can see that Yang He's position as governor is of a pension nature, and he will retire in five years, and it is difficult to be eligible to be promoted to a national-level leader. And like him, he did not retire after the change, but the actual power was reduced, and there were many people, most of whom came from the original territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, even if the state arranges so, they have nothing to complain about, you must know that the speaker of the National Assembly has retired, they have been in office for two or three consecutive terms under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and they are enough to retire according to their age, but they have only been incorporated into the republic, and they can't just retire like this, otherwise it will only seem that the republic treats people coldly. Giving them another term of office is already excessive, and it would be unreasonable to want to serve in a rich place.

Arriving in different places means dealing with different customs, local conditions, and other problems, so it takes a process of adaptation. In this process, there will be all kinds of small problems, and these small problems basically revolve around money.

These issues will eventually be reported to the local finance bureau, minor issues will be dealt with by the local finance bureau, and medium and major problems will be reported. After the Ministry of Finance receives these reported problems, they will discuss and deal with the medium issues, but the major issues have to be reported to the Congress, so that the Congress can discuss and approve them.

For example, if someone wants to build a dam of the Three Gorges level, there are many problems involved, and it needs to be discussed and resolved by Congress. After all, it involves not only financial issues, but also many livelihood issues; Second, the amount involved is too large, and the Ministry of Finance has no right to make decisions directly, otherwise the Ministry of Finance will spend a lot of money, and the state will not operate? Deficit finances are not a good thing, and excessive sales of government bonds are even more undesirable, let alone that no one has helped pay for them.

But then again, even if someone helps pay for it, it's useless, and I don't set up an institution like the Federal Reserve to separate the currency from gold, silver and copper, and then say that the depreciation will depreciate, and the appreciation will appreciate the appreciation, and use the exchange rate of the currency to rob other countries of money.

The outstanding economy and abundant treasury of the Republic have brought great benefits to this re-election, and at least the construction that has been judged to be feasible has been carried out to the best extent, and the local economy and people's livelihood will achieve higher progress in a short period of time. These guys who have just been promoted, in order to be recognized by their subordinates, they are very hard at studying and planning, and at most they are suffering from those low-level small civil servants.

The officers are also seizing the time to run in with their new subordinates. In fact, on the whole, the construction of the army has been completed, and a large number of military schools have been established so that every officer, even a platoon commander, can receive the best military education. With the help of the political commissar, even if the brigade commander, division commander, or even the army commander at the higher level finds a change, the overall combat effectiveness will not decline significantly.

On top of that, all officers have more or less the same knowledge, so it wasn't too difficult to adapt to the new subordinates.

Thanks to this group of conscientious and sacrificial soldiers, they held the pass, so that the Dashun Imperial Army, which wanted to take advantage of the change of office several times, finally returned with a feather, and even partially expanded the territory of a county.

The intact mechanism is actually very good, if Zhang Hongbin unifies the world with hegemony from the beginning, then it is difficult to guarantee that the place can be like an iron bucket.

Since ancient times, kings have used domineering, and as a result, they will soon find a breakthrough by the famous generals under the command of the other party, and then the war situation has to drag on for a few years.

If Zhang Hongbin hadn't come, the peasant uprisings that had begun in the first year of Chongzhen would have sparked like a prairie fire and spread all over the country. The war lasted for 17 years, and at least seventy percent of the people in the entire land of China died in the war. In the end, even if Dashun was established, the number of people under his command was limited, and most of the troops were old and weak, women and children, otherwise they were unqualified soldiers, and they were defeated by the Manchu Qing and Wu Sangui coalition forces in a stone, which opened the prelude to the Manchu Qing Dynasty entering the customs and fighting for hegemony in the world.

Before this, the population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was too small, not to mention the people of the Ming Dynasty, even if they themselves, they only planned to be a robber to grow themselves, no matter how many times they knocked on the pass, no matter how many times the soldiers came to the city of Beijing, they were only robbers, and they did not have the intention of seizing the Ming Dynasty. In their eyes, Da Ming at that time was still too strong.

But seventeen years after Chongzhen, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was exhausted by the civil war, and there was a lack of strength to resist the Manchus everywhere. Under such circumstances, the Manchu Qing Dynasty saw the hope of unifying the country, and the familiar scenes of the past Wuhu chaos reappeared in the land of China.

So, what about now?

The Manchu Qing Dynasty has fallen, and the population of the whole country has increased by 100,000 compared with the first year of Chongzhen. This is still the result of the constant war. According to the results of the census, the original population of Shaanxi fell to 15% of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and then increased to 300% of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and the population of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Sichuan grew very fast.

The country has not become dilapidated because of the war, on the contrary, a country has been constantly reforming under the stimulus, constantly improving its national strength, and constantly building. It can be seen from this year's financial report that this year's fiscal revenue is actually more than 50 times the income of the Ming Dynasty in the seventh year of the Apocalypse.

Unifying China in the course of construction and unifying China in the course of avoiding civil war is what Zhang Hongbin proposed.

The most important thing is that this method can deal with the influence of the family on the country at the first time, constantly weakening, and differentiating the role and influence of the family in the end. How did Zhang Hongbin's ten-year turmoil in that time and space come about, in fact, the old bureaucracy and the old family began to appeal and resist for their own interests, and then there was that turmoil, and the result was that the family was almost wiped out, and a group of red families were supported.

When the interests of the emerging family are linked to the interests of the country, even if there is no way to eliminate the influence of the family on the country, their identity will be told to them, and things cannot be too much. After all, the interests of them and the country have been combined, and sharing will do two harms, and cooperation will benefit both sides, and no one can do without anyone. In this way, the rule of the state was consolidated.

Zhang Hongbin did not have this trouble, the problems of the family have been solved, the people have been civilized, and under the guidance of public opinion, they have begun to alienate the family. The Maison has lost the influence of public opinion in society and the monopoly of knowledge, and they can either transform or disappear. The difference is that this disappearance will not bring too much chaos to the country, nor will there be too strong sequelae.

Three months is the time it takes for the newly appointed officials to quickly adapt to the work of government affairs.

From a hard-working learner, he has changed back to pointing out the country in the office, and his subordinates have also recognized this leader and silently completed the leader's instructions.

The National Assembly has also adapted to the work, Mo Dye has begun to fulfill his duties as speaker, and the country is developing steadily, and keen reporters have even found that after the change, the overall strength of the country, whether in the soft power of people's livelihood education or the hard power of military weapons, has been greatly improved.

So one day, the newspaper asked: "The country has become strong enough to directly crush the Dashun Empire, and Li Zicheng's Dashun Empire still has the situation that the people's will has not yet been gathered. When will we be able to make this ancient and magical land have only one voice? ”

These two questions not only attracted everyone's attention, but the newspaper also ushered in a large number of comments and related articles. In the next few days, various mentions and related content about how to dominate the country became one of the most popular topics nowadays.

It's just that no one knows that from the very beginning, the newspaper was deliberately guided by the state to ask such questions.

After all, newspapers are the throat of the state, and naturally they cannot be allowed to escape from their own control.

The initial goal has been achieved, which not only makes the people look forward to the country's domination of the world, but also attracts Li Zicheng's attention. Their people may constantly guard the border areas, for fear that Zhang Hongbin will send people to kill him from all directions and take away his country in one go.

On this basis, the army has indeed carried out a series of transfers.

The number of warships cruising in the East China Sea began to increase, and they also approached various coastal ports many times; The soldiers on the border began to assemble, and Cheng Dù, who had been trained, was promoted. Supplies from all over the country seem to be mobilizing and starting to be delivered to second-tier cities on the border.

This qiē gives people an idea, that is: the republic seems to be about to fight a decisive battle!
