Chapter 768: A refugee without braids, but a good citizen with braids
In fact, Jia Liu hates formalism the most.
But that was before he became an official.
It was only when he became an official and a senior official that he realized that if the country wanted to develop, it would be inseparable from formalism.
Because one of the biggest advantages of formalism is to let officials do a good job of superficial articles, and if officials refuse to even do superficial articles, it will be a real disaster for the people.
Formalism also has the advantage that it can effectively form a routine in a short period of time, which is convenient for latecomers to learn and follow.
If Jia Liu wants to govern the country, he cannot do without the bureaucracy.
How can the bureaucracy always follow in his footsteps and do things according to his instructions?
This requires formalism.
The logic is as simple as that.
For example, if Jia Liu wants to run an industry and engage in trade, then the officials below will definitely spare no effort to drill in these two directions.
Because that's what determines whether they can go one step further or not.
As for whether they understand it or not, it doesn't matter if they understand it or not.
The important thing is that the top likes.
To put it more simply, if an official in the government wants to go to the county for inspection, then the county will arrange for someone to greet the merchants along the street two days in advance, saying that you will get your door clean.
As far as the merchants are concerned, they are willing to cooperate, after all, everyone wants to live a clean and comfortable business environment.
During these two days, the county will also arrange special personnel to work as scavengers in the streets and alleys to ensure that there is no garbage in the market.
So, is this formalism good or bad?
The answer is really hard to say.
Before he became the general king, Jia Liu must have scolded this phenomenon, but after he really became a senior leader, he felt that there was a certain reason for the existence of this phenomenon.
In fact, just as the height at which a person stands determines the scenery that a person can see.
Of course, Jia Liu knew that if formalism was allowed to spread and develop, the harm would be even more serious than that of bureaucracy.
The problem is that he simply doesn't have a strong, truly progressive cadre force to implement his ideas.
The so-called Communist Association is essentially a collection of corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
Pointing to the fact that it is easy for the CCP to usurp the Qing Dynasty, and pointing to the CCP to develop China into a great power and let the people live a good life, then it is really a high opinion of the CCP.
It is a mixture of fish and dragons, and the mud and sand are all used to describe the common progress will be very appropriate.
But Jia Liu still has to rely on the existing civil service system to do things, and rely on the Communist Association to realize the plan in his mind.
Then, this formalism is necessary to exist.
Because formalism has one of the most important roots - leadership preference.
For this reason, Jia Liu can only let himself become the existence he once scolded.
It is also a form of political wisdom.
In order to make tomorrow better, he can only endure the pain and be strict with himself.
"The sun came out to climb the hill, climbed to the top of the mountain and wanted to sing, the song floated to my sister, and my sister laughed when she heard it."
At the edge of the pool where Li Taibai was bathing, Jia Liu couldn't help but chant a few words, and was so shocked that the accompanying civil and military were impressed, and praised the prince for not only being both civil and military, but also wise and brave, and really an immortal hero.
Many people's eyes have changed when they look at the prince.
There is a sincerity in the exaggeration.
"If it weren't for knowing that you were filming the king's ass, the king would have almost thought that he could beat Li Taibai."
Jia Liu is very self-aware, and his writing is categorically impossible to compare with Li Bai and Du Fu, but he can still compare with the four devils.
The quantity is not as good, and the quality is definitely not lagging behind.
Just this four-word poem just now, the level is also an eye-catcher.
He took out a hard-boiled egg from his pocket and touched it on the stone, and the shell fell to the ground in his hand, but just as he was about to put the egg in his mouth, the egg fell to the ground and rolled down the steps several feet away.
Of course, this is not the bridge designed by Jia Liu, but it is really a miss.
However, to everyone's surprise, the prince jumped to the egg with his hands and feet like a rabbit, picked it up and blew the mud on it, and bit it down without mind.
"Lord Wang!"
The accompanying civil and military officers looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they all called the prince a little confused.
"If it's dirty, wipe it off, it's not that you can't eat it, what's the matter if you throw it away?.What we eat and drink now is the people's fat and people's ointment, and it's all the blood and sweat of the people. Therefore, there must be no waste, waste is a crime against the people! β
After speaking, Jia Liu turned his head and asked Lai Xiucai, deputy head of the "Daqing Daily" reporting team who accompanied the army, if he had written it down, and only after receiving a positive answer did he swallow the egg in one gulp.
As a result, I almost choked, and I poured a few mouthfuls of Moutai to get the egg into my stomach.
I saw a boulder on the left that I could climb high and look into the distance, so I couldn't help but come up with interest and try to climb up.
As a result, he didn't go up after climbing a few times, but he was tired and panting, and he patted his somewhat protruding stomach angrily, alerting himself to no longer eat and drink from the sea, big fish and meat, otherwise he might become the first emperor in history to die because of the three highs.
And with the current physique, if something really happens, it will be difficult to go up the mountain to fight guerrillas.
Don't end up running down the mountain to steal the chickens of the villagers and call them to catch them in the deep mountains and old forests, then you will lose your face.
In the end, Baozhu asked the two of them to build a ladder for the prince to climb up.
"It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance!"
Standing on the boulder and letting the cold wind blow his mood, Jia Liu felt that his whole person and nature were one, the scenery in front of him was so beautiful, the white clouds in the sky were so white, and the earth under his feet was so solid.
It was as if everything in the Great Qing Dynasty was in his heart, as if the future of the world was in his hands.
After a long time, he asked the people below: "Where is Zhong Xiangcheng located?" β
Baozhu hurriedly looked at the map, took a compass pen and stroked it, asked the two guides accompanying him, and then pointed in a direction and affirmed: "Lord Wang, this direction!" β
"Oh?"
Jia Liu bent down to take the clairvoyant mirror handed by the pillar under the stone, and half-squatted on the ground to look seriously in the direction of Zhong Xiang.
It's just that I can't see anything except the snow in front of me.
But this did not affect him in the slightest to continue to squat there and look seriously into the distance, changing his posture from time to time, with a solemn look.
Ding Qingda was surprised, and couldn't help but weakly ask the prince what he saw below.
Jia Liu's face was deep: "What I see is hope, the hope of victory!" β
"Oh?"
Ding Qing and the others looked in the direction of Zhong Xiangcheng, but they couldn't see anything.
"If you can see it, what else do you want this king to do?"
Jia Liu calculated that the time should be almost up, so he put down the clairvoyant mirror and jumped off the boulder, and as soon as he landed, the good news came-Zhong Xiang Yizhi.
"Look, that's the hope that this king speaks of!"
Jia Liuda was overjoyed, not only because he won Zhongxiangcheng, but also because he received nearly 10,000 elite soldiers, thus opening the road to victory in Wuchang.
At that moment, he ordered the Lu Bo honor guard to march towards Zhong Xiangcheng, and ordered the left wing governor, the second cousin Urshi Balan, to lead the white flag guards to take over Zhong Xiangcheng first.
When I arrived at the bottom of the city, I saw that the city gate was open, and the Xinghan military flag that was originally fluttering on the city was replaced by the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty.
Wang Daji, Gu Si and the other generals of the Xinghan army went out of the city together, kneeling to welcome the arrival of the general Fuyuan of the Qing Dynasty and Prince Heshuorui.
These people descended more simply, and had already shaved off the long hair that had been left behind, and all had bare heads and a braid hanging from the back.
Jia Liuzai frowned on the horse and didn't say anything.
Soon, the thief in the box was presented with the head of Qiu Ba.
Jia Liu didn't open it, only asked Ji Yun about the details of Qiu Ba's death, and then sighed: "I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." β
After a moment of silence, he instructed: "Stitch the head of Qiu Ba to the corpse, wrap it in a good yellow silk, bury it, find a piece of ground with better feng shui outside the city to bury, and erect a tombstone for Qiu Ba." β
Hearing this, all the generals kneeling were a little uneasy, and they didn't know what Prince Rui meant.
Jia Liu didn't say anything more, and motioned left and right to follow him into the city.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, his second cousin Urshi Balan came to say that many people in the city had cut their braids, and cutting their braids according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty was tantamount to rebellion, so he asked his cousin if he had dealt with the people in the city according to the law.
"Thou shalt not slaughter the city!"
Ji Yun was shocked when he heard this, because in this case, the people in Zhongxiang City would probably not be one out of ten.
"No braids are refugees, braids are good people, they are all people of the Qing Dynasty, and they must not be killed indiscriminately."
Jia Liuzi would not agree to the second cousin's killing, first, the people would suffer from the sword and neck; Second, Zhong Xiang's slaughter of the city will inevitably make other cities resist stubbornly, which is not conducive to recovery.
After all, the early Qing Dynasty was able to win the Han people's country, relying on the slaughter of the city, so that the surrendered Ming army not only had high morale, but also became more and more loyal.
Although Zhongxiang City has been successfully recovered now, it does not rely on real skills, but on the rebellion against the defenders, and the morale of the army has not been significantly improved, so it is necessary to slaughter the city in Zhongxiang, at least so that those cities that have returned to the thief army dare not refuse to defend behind closed doors.
Jia Liu still did not agree with the second cousin's suggestion, but fortunately, the Minister of the Interior, Niu Lunbao, and Hubei, who rushed to appease Zheng Dajin, also insisted that he would never agree to the slaughter of the city.
After entering the city, Jia Liu came to the Zhizhou Yamen and asked Wang Daji and the others if Qiu Ba was killed here, and after receiving a positive answer, his face was a little gloomy, and he looked at the blood stains on the ground that had not been completely wiped off.
Just when the generals were nervous, they heard the hearty laughter of Prince Daqingrui, and then with an order, one by one the silver boxes were carried in.
30,000 taels of silver.
Jia Liu did not break his promise and fully fulfilled his promise.
Wang Daji was awarded the registered general soldier, Gu Sitong was the registered deputy general, and the third army of the original Xinghan Army was transferred to the Hubei Green Battalion.
and issued a general royal decree to the Quartet, in the future, all those who take the initiative to surrender, officers and soldiers will be rewarded; Whoever fights and surrenders without being defeated will not accept it.
He also asked all localities to widely post billboards to appease the people and gentry in the areas controlled by the thief army, saying that the Qing soldiers would not commit any crimes until the autumn, and they would never punish the people because of their braids.
He also asked Wang Daji and other generals to mobilize the central subordinates of the army to write letters to relatives and friends who knew each other, asking them to take the initiative to return, and even if they did not return, they should take the initiative to disperse and return to their hometowns.
The imperial court will never settle accounts after the fall.
In the face of such a large-scale political offensive, a large number of soldiers of the Xinghan Army came to vote, and at one time as many as a dozen prefectures and counties collectively changed banners to welcome the Qing Heavenly Soldiers, which instantly shook the foundation of the Xinghan Army's rule in Hubei.
After hearing about Prince Rui's moves, Chen Huizu, the governor of Huguang, who had surrendered to the Xinghan army before, couldn't help but say to the left and right attachΓ©s: "If you don't kill Prince Rui, I'm afraid we won't have a place to be buried." β
