After listening to Qian Jiang's words, Xiao Yungui nodded and said, "Mr. Qian has a heart." "Then I looked down, and the following are the twelve strategies for rejuvenating the king suggested by Qian Jiang.

I saw that it was written: "I hereby look at the general trend, try to judge the opportunity, and I would like to manage what I can see, and formulate two out of ten policies for the rejuvenation of the king, and choose to implement them." First, the general trend of today's China, Yanjing is like the head, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are like henchmen, and Sichuan, Shaanxi, Fujian and Guangdong are like siblings. If their hands and feet are cut off, they can still live. If you take the south of the Yangtze River and follow its belly, once you enter Shandong from Jianghuai, you will take Beijing to cut off its head; When Beijing is established, why worry about Sichuan and Shaanxi. Xiao Yungui nodded secretly, when the Taiping Army made a policy before, Luo Outline also had the same suggestion, but Xiao Yungui knew that the Northern Expedition of the Taiping Army in history was not successful, so he did not agree with taking Jiangnan and the Northern Expedition at the same time. At this time, looking at the actions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is still a little difficult for the Taiping Army to take Jiangnan safely, just like this time to attack Shanghai, there is no force in the north to contain it, and the Manchu reinforcements from the north can calmly go south, which is indeed not appropriate. At this time, Xiao Yungui began to reconsider the matter of going north to Jianghuai to contain the Qing soldiers.

"Second, China's new construction suffers from insufficient finances and failed to set tariffs. At the beginning of the decision, the mall will discuss the addition of a draw and let it be protected. In commerce, one centime is levied every two cents, which is called centigold, and the merchants are very little, and the businessmen have its protection, so why not obey. And I have accumulated a lot of money, that is, a huge amount of money, but it is advisable to be modest, not to extort and harsh the people. Seeing this, Xiao Yungui laughed, and Qian Jiang was promoting his strategy to the Taiping Army again.

"Third, since the Manchu Qing Daoguang, the transportation and commerce of various countries have made great progress. Business prosperity is the foundation of a rich country, and being rich is being strong. It is advisable to establish treaties and trade with other countries, and send envoys to each other to protect their own shopping malls. With China's vast land and abundant resources, if it can be gradually promoted, within 30 years, it can become rich in the world. Xiao Yungui also praised this one. Qianjiang does have a wide vision and can see the importance of foreign trade.

"Fourth, since our army is a financial problem, it should pay attention to the law. At present, China has not yet traded with other countries, and it is possible to restrict the import of silver dollars from various countries. That is, the designated place is not allowed to use the silver dollar of the Qing Dynasty. In this way, the merchants will find it inconvenient, and then I can cast silver with the merchants, and I will make silver for silver. I can be expedient in five or six silver drum casting. All silver, regardless of its height, is only to be circulated up and down, and it is all allowed. The rich man thinks that I don't need to clear the money, but I will come and exchange it. You can cast from 10 million to 20 million. Clip the banknote, then 30 million can be immediately. This article mentions currency reform, Xiao Yungui feels very thoughtful, but reforming the currency system is not so simple, and it needs to be considered in the long run.

"Fifth, the general trend of the world in the future. We must focus on sea power. In the future, if China is settled, it should still build the capital Jiangnan. According to the danger of the river. Sheng Bei Boat Division. You can breathe in all provinces, and respond on all sides, so that there is no risk of defending. Seeing this, Xiao Yungui nodded secretly, since the Opium War, China has been plagued by sea power for more than 100 years, and even in later generations, it has been plagued by the so-called island chain. greatly constrained the rights and interests of the country, and after the war of words in Wusong, the development of his own sailor has become a link that Xiao Yungui attaches great importance to.

"6. Since the beginning of the war in our country, the war has not ended. There is no time to repair the system. Now it is advisable to open a branch to take scholars, increase the selection of literary talents, so that each dedicates its strengths, according to the situation, and to adopt the national system to be adopted" Article 6 is to persuade the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to open a science and take scholars, and select talents to govern the country, which is true, but Qianjiang is still limited to the ancient imperial examination system, Xiao Yungui feels that it is necessary to select talents, but the feudal imperial examination system of opening eight shares to take scholars must be modified. But how to revise it, it is still necessary to draw up a detailed charter, and Xiao Yungui is not sure to what extent it is appropriate.

"Seventh, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was defeated in even wars, and in the future, I am afraid that I will use the power of outsiders to kill the Han people as a plan to protect my position. In the past, since it had established treaties and trade with other countries, it was necessary to give preferential treatment to foreigners in China, so as to show that the world was one family, and to stop the treacherous plots. Seeing this, Xiao Yungui had to admire Qian Jiang's long-term vision, he could see that the Manchu Qing Dynasty would definitely collude with foreigners to encircle and suppress the Taiping Army in the future.

"Eighth, although our army has won a series of battles, I am afraid that we will not be tired. Now there are 2 million soldiers, and it is appropriate to train them, and they are divided into five classes. After the Jiangnan was determined, two classes were used for the Northern Expedition, one class was sent to Fujian and Zhejiang, and two classes were left to garrison Sanjiang, which were replaced in turn, so as to avoid fatigue of troops as a long-term war plan. Seeing this, Xiao Yungui was a little dumbfounded, Qian Jiang still didn't know much about the Taiping Army, two million soldiers seemed to be boasted by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself, and the West Hall had more than 100,000 soldiers at most, and Tianjing was about the same number, counting the soldiers in Wuchang, Jiujiang, Changsha and other places, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had 500,000 soldiers and horses, and Qian Jiang must have thought that the families and people who accompanied the army were also soldiers. If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had two million soldiers, then it would be necessary to divide it into several shifts and directly push it to Beijing. However, Qianjiang's idea of dividing troops and fighting in turns can still be adopted, Xiao Yungui also plans to reorganize the troops and horses, and at the same time of the reorganization, there will still be soldiers and horses outside to fight with the Manchus.

"Nine, China's anointed land, abandoned by a lot, it is advisable to ask for wasteland for public property, the ancient army in agriculture, or for the method of tuntian, training on time, then the army is solid, that is, the source of pay is endless." There seems to be nothing new in Tuntian, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng of the Three Kingdoms has done it a long time ago, but it is the truth that Qianjiang said that there are many places and abandonments, and when the war comes, many fields are deserted, and it is a way out to reclaim wasteland for public property.

"10. Although there are many Chinese, women are completely useless. It is advisable to increase the number of female schools or set up female officers in female departments as a sign of encouragement. Exhaust the wind of foot binding, and enter the breath of whiskers. If both men and women are useful, then the desire of the country is not strong. This article makes Xiao Yungui feel very fresh, it seems that Qianjiang is not as stubborn as those rotten Confucians, he actually proposed to encourage the opening of women's schools and the use of female officials, if Hong Yun'er reads this article, this four-eyed girl will be very happy. Xiao Yungui came from later generations, and he did not find it strange to advocate equality between men and women, and there have always been female soldiers in the Taiping Army, and they did no less than male soldiers, and their role was not weaker than that of male soldiers, which was also one of the important symbols that distinguished the Taiping Army from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"11. The source of minerals is geographically advantageous, but China is the most prosperous. Manchuria has not been mined except for the Sichuan-Yunnan copper mine. It is advisable for me to issue a decree that all the land should be mined in order to reap the benefits of the land. The national curriculum has increased, and the people's wealth has been advancing day by day. However, if you want to develop mines, when all countries create railways, so as to facilitate transshipment, and for the sake of business, it is a great benefit. See the above tube, only its roughness, depending on the external camera. The Manchus were cruel, I was merciful, the Manchus were private, and I was equal to Datong, and I was the opposite. The way to rejuvenate the king is all about it. May the king take heed! You must know that the railway was only built in Western countries at the beginning of the 19th century, and France, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries are still vigorously building railways in their own countries, for China, railways are basically a new thing, and I don't know where Qianjiang came from.

Xiao Yungui laughed and asked, "Where did you know about the railway mentioned in this manuscript?" ”

Qian Jiang replied: "In the past, when I negotiated with foreigners in Guangzhou, I heard from foreign merchants, and I have also seen its paintings, the railway is paved with steel, and there is a Western iron bull machine on it as a means of transportation, this iron bull is said to not drink or drink, but you can travel thousands of miles a day without rest...... Qian Jiang thought that Xiao Yungui did not know what the railway was, and he had never seen it, but he heard the foreign merchants in Guangzhou boast, so he talked about it in detail.

Xiao Yungui raised his hand and interrupted: "Well, this railway king knows. Speaking of this, he paused and asked strangely: "You said earlier that there are twelve strategies, why is it over here when you get to the eleventh strategy?" ”

Qian Jiang coughed lightly, looked at Li Xuanji who was waiting on the side, and said, "King Xi, this twelfth strategy is very important, can you talk about it separately by retreating?" ”

Xiao Yungui sighed, looked at Li Xuanji, this guy was playing with Xuanji's sister's bad idea, in order to show flattery, he said: "It's okay, the people around this king are confidants, but it's okay to say it." ”

Qian Jiang sighed, and secretly thought that the beautiful woman next to the West King was the concubine of the West King, no wonder the West King did not avoid it, and said in a low voice at the moment: "The twelfth policy was originally written for the King of Heaven, but since the King of Heaven entered Changsha, he lived in a simple place, and the military and political affairs were mostly managed by the East King and the West King, and the West King was all the way from Guangxi to Jinling, and the soldiers were powerful, so this time the advice was dedicated to the West King, and the twelfth strategy was useful to the King of Heaven, but it was unfavorable to the King of the West, so it was removed when transcribing. ”

Xiao Yungui frowned and said, "Let's hear it, what is the twelfth strategy?" ”

Qian Jiang said slowly: "The twelfth policy of the original manuscript is that the system of hundred officials should be divided into grades. Since the kings of heaven have been crowned kings, they cannot be changed. When the authority is separated from the official position, the military and the government are emphasized. so that the princes and the following ministers and brave generals can be exerted without restraint. It is true that everything is not valuable, even the princes of all countries cannot hold high positions and hold great power. Since this time I am in the West King, this article will be changed. ”

Xiao Yungui was slightly startled when he heard this, Qian Jiang's suggestion was clearly that the Heavenly King cut the power of the kings and dispersed the power of the kings to the ministers and brave generals below, so as to prevent a few kings from dominating.

"What do you mean, sir?" Xiao Yungui squinted his eyes and smiled, he became more and more interested in Qianjiang.

Qian Jiang said in a low voice: "The king of the west is a person who understands, in the kingdom of heaven, the two above the king of the west do not seem to be the lords, when I heard that Tianjing was under the rule of the king of the west, the government was harmonious, the people were happy, and the peace could be in harmony with the three families of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but after the change of hands in Tianjing, there was a great wind of rejection, and the people were miserable. The king of heaven lives in a simple place, ignores political affairs, and the power of military and political affairs is sidelined, and sooner or later there will be a new lord in the kingdom of heaven. ”

Xiao Yungui's face changed, and he shouted angrily: "Okay, you Qianjiang, dare to talk nonsense here, come here!" Pull him out and cut me down! Several West Hall guards poured in outside the tent, set up Qianjiang and left. (To be continued......)
