Section 4 Roots

Turning his head slightly, Wu Feng asked casually as if he had some feelings: "Oh? Your opinion seems to be a bit compromised, let's hear it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Now the Taiping Sect is actually mainly concentrated in the Heshuo area, although Anyuan is the nest of the Taiping Army, but it has become an island in our hands, it is easy to subvert it, but the adults are not willing to spend more damage. But now Heshuo still seems to be a little imposing, there are still four prefectures on the territory, there are still six or seven million people under control, and the number of troops is still around 400,000, which can also be regarded as the elite of the Taiping army, but there is a very fatal problem here, that is, there have been serious differences within them on the policy of where the Taiping Sect should go, You Daofang has obviously gone mad, indulged in those so-called religious fantasies, and blindly fantasized about being able to establish an ideal heaven in his so-called holy kingdom where the cultivators have their land and everyone can be equal, but this is obviously an ideal thing, there are hundreds of people, all kinds of thingsTo build such a society among all people, such as rich and poor, can only be a castle in the air, and can only regress society, but You Daofang now seems to be unable to see or listen to these different opinions. ”

"But there are also some wise men and wise people in the Taiping Sect, such as Bo Jinchen, Tao Bang and Xu Wenzhe and others, they have found the deviation of the Taiping Sect's policy in this regard, in fact, when the Taiping Holy Kingdom was first established, the kind of thought represented by You Daofang has risen a little, but in that special situation at that time, the great achievements of the Taiping Sect covered up this contradiction, but with the gradual stabilization of the area controlled by the Taiping Sect, these trends of thought have gradually emerged, and in the face of pressure from all sides, the weakness of the Taiping Sect has gradually been exposed. The radical faction represented by Tang Guotai and Yu Yongzhi and the conservative faction of Bo Jinchen, Tao Bang and Xu Wenzhe have become more and more incompatible, and their attitude towards the original middle and upper class gentry in the areas under their control has become the focus of attention, which has a direct impact on the stability of the areas under their control. ”

"In fact, there is an invisible force hidden behind these two factions here, and the strength of this invisible force is not weak, and it can even play a pivotal role, and its representatives are Cheng Dayou and Yu Yongzhi. They are incompatible with the two main forces of the two factions just mentioned in their inner nature, Cheng Dayou from the perspective of the policy he implemented in Jiujiang, should be inclined to the Bo Jinchen faction, but this guy is quite slippery, after occupying Jiujiang, he has a tendency to read, when he saw that the Taiping Sect's power has declined, he has been in some aspects with some of the empire's strength is very close, and some of his methods are to imitate the measures of the adults in the early stage, his ambition is not small, but after all, he has an inextricable connection with the Taiping Sect, even if he wants to get rid of this connection, I am afraid that it is not possible。 As for that Yu Yongzhi, according to what we know, this guy is a loyal supporter of You Daofang on the surface, but this guy inside has changed his nature, and a large amount of civilian wealth collected by him and several of his henchmen in the Heshuo area are secretly stored in Yanjing and Jiangnan respectively, and even our Northwest Bank has an account, this guy has a good vision, and like Cheng Dayou, he sees that the Taiping Holy Kingdom is not long, this is just the direction that the two of them choose differently. ”

"In short, the Taiping Sect no longer has the same concerted efforts as when it was founded, and because the leader who originally maintained them, You Daofang, is gradually losing his leadership charisma, his direction of guidance has deviated greatly from the correct historical process, and there are powerful forces like Kaman and our northwest around the Taiping Holy Kingdom, they no longer have the strength to regain their strength, and it is a matter of time before they are destroyed, of course, this is the opinion of the subordinate family. ”

Ling Huyi combined his views and analysis with the large amount of intelligence information he had as the director of the military intelligence bureau in one breath, and it was reasonable and well-founded, and even Liang Chongxin had to admit that his original subordinate did a really good job in the position of the director of the military intelligence bureau.

"Well, the analysis is good, but Linghu, you can predict again, when will the Taiping Sect disappear completely?" Wu Feng asked with an interesting smile.

Shaking his head, Ling Fox Wing was very cautious about this: " My lord, the rise of the Taiping Sect has its specific historical reasons, especially in the north of the empire, because most of the heroes of the empire were born in the northern counties, after the empire took power, out of the dual needs of buying people's hearts and reducing military power, the early emperors of the empire Yanjing canonized a large number of meritorious heroes and gave land, and most of these meritorious heroes and generals also returned to their original hometowns, so in the northern counties not only there are many meritorious nobles, but also most of the land is concentrated in the hands of these large and small nobles, because the land nobles in the northern counties are conservative and the development of industry and commerce is discriminated against, so the assets of these meritorious nobles are mainly concentrated on land and land incomeIn this cycle, most of their income is invested in continuing to buy land rather than industry and commerce, making land more and more concentrated. ”

However, due to the topography and climate and the fact that they have not paid attention to the construction of farmland infrastructure, the northern counties have always had a situation of relying on the sky for food, and the unstable harvest made these nobles increase their rents even more, and the lower class people longed for a better life because of the hardship of life. The Taiping Sect moved with the times, taking advantage of the continuous famine years in the northern region to continuously develop believers, and had laid a deep foundation in the northern counties of the empire, thus succeeding in one fell swoop, and in recent years, the central and northern regions have been relatively smooth, and ordinary people can still get by, except for some fanatical Taiping believers, many lower-class people are not so fanatical about this aspect, but once they encounter natural disasters [***] The people of the lower classes will not be able to survive, and they will inevitably have a yearning and longing for the teachings preached by the Taiping Sect, and as long as this kind of thinking is instigated by someone with a heart, it will become a wave of peasant uprisings that sweep in. Even though this Taiping Sect may be extinguished by the forces of all sides, this is the surface of the open fire that has been extinguished, and the spark is still hidden, as long as the opportunity is ripe, it may rekindle at any time. Therefore, the collapse of the Taiping Holy Kingdom is inevitable, but it is not an easy task to eradicate the root cause of the chaos brought about by the Taiping Sect, unless the living conditions of the lower classes of the people in the northern counties are fundamentally changed. ”

Ling Foxyi's analysis made Wu Feng and Liang Chongxin nod at the same time, this is not a problem that can be solved in a short period of time, the infrastructure of the northern counties is too poor, and it is completely dependent on the sky to eat, and it is precisely these counties that are the most powerful areas of the land aristocracy, and the cruel oppression makes the peasants in these counties only be able to solve the problem of food and clothing even in normal years, and in the event of a disaster, there will be a large number of bandits and robbers, and if there is a catastrophe, it is even more turbulent, as soon as there is a fuse, it is very likely that the situation when the Taiping Sect rises up, especially now that the various teachings of the Taiping Sect are widely spread among the lower levels of the northern counties。

"The problem of the Taiping Sect is indeed a complex problem, and there is a deep historical background behind it, and in order to resolve the various disasters it has brought about, it is difficult to rely on military crackdowns and suppression alone, and it is necessary to completely eliminate the social roots of its existence in order to truly resolve this evil. Wu Feng said with a deep groan.

"Well, but the civil strife in the Taiping Sect is also imminent, and there is intelligence that Bo Jinchen and Xu Wenzhe have been very close during this time, and I suspect that Bo Jinchen may have any thoughts. When it came to this question, Fox Wing was a little hesitant.

"This may be a big surname, Bo Jinchen is a top-notch figure in the Taiping Sect, and he is also You Daofang's original chief think tank, but now the relationship between the two is not as good as before, and Bo Jinchen is also a figure who is unwilling to let the Taiping Sect decline like this, and Xu Wenzhe also has considerable military strength in the Heshuo area, Bo Jinchen wants to think about things, and can only join forces with Xu Wenzhe to deal with Yu Yongzhi, but You Daofang is not a good person, although he deviates from the normal path in thought, but he is not weak with anyone in terms of power tricks, Bo Jinchen may not be able to succeed if he wants to think about things。 As a close neighbor of the Taiping Army, Liang Chongxin has always been very concerned by many Taiping people, and whether it is the intelligence system of the Military Intelligence Bureau or the Intelligence Bureau, he has to ask for a copy of the information about the Taiping Religion for his own analysis.

"Chongxin, no matter whether Bo Jinchen and Xu Wenzhe join forces to solve You Daofang, the split of the Taiping Sect is already a matter of time, and both sides have considerable military strength, once there is a fire and merger, the Taiping Sect is likely to collapse, and the wolves around will not give up this opportunity, the Kaman people are like this, Situ Jun and Situ Lang may also be waiting for this opportunity, including us, of course. Wu Feng smiled faintly and said, "This is an opportunity, now it's up to who can seize it." ”

"My lord, do you mean to sit back and wait for the Taiping Sect to kill each other, and then wait for the opportunity to send troops?" Ling Fox Yi also nodded.

"Well, now it's up to us when that opportunity will come. Wu Feng nodded and said, "Heshuo is the land of kings, no one will give up this fertile land easily, the Kaman people are like this, Situ Lang and Situ Jun are also like this, of course we can't give up lightly, I hope that some things can happen according to our predetermined plan in the second half of the year." ”

Liang Chongxin and Ling Fox Yi also nodded heavily, "What the adults said is very true. ”

Liang Chongxin, who was a little sensitive, then asked rhetorically, "Are some of the things that the adults said related to the large amount of grain stored in Kansai and Northwest China?"
