    After listening to Qian Jiang's words, Xiao Yungui nodded and said, "Mr. Qian is interested. Download free e-books." He read on. Below are the twelve strategies for reviving the king suggested by Qian Jiang.

    I saw it read: "I have thoroughly observed the general trend, carefully reviewed the opportunities, and taken into account what I can see. I have drawn up ten strategies to rejuvenate the king, and I will choose and implement them. 1. The current general trend of China, Yanjing is like the leader, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are like confidants  , Sichuan, Shaanxi, Fujian and Guangdong are like hands and feet. If the hands and feet are cut off, the person can still live. If you take the south of the Yangtze River and follow the vertebrae and its heart, once you enter Shandong from the Jianghuai River, you will take Beijing and cut off its head; when Beijing is established, why worry that Sichuan and Shaanxi will not accept it?  ." Xiao Yungui nodded secretly at this point. When the Taiping Army was deciding its strategy, Luo Dayou had the same suggestion. However, Xiao Yungui knew that the Northern Expedition of the Taiping Army was not successful in history, so he did not agree with carrying out the Jiangnan and Northern Expeditions at the same time.  Looking at the actions of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties at this time, it is still difficult for the Taiping Army to securely take the south of the Yangtze River. Just like this time when attacking Shanghai, there is no force to restrain the north, so the Manchu and Qing reinforcements from the north can calmly move south, but it is indeed not done properly.  At this time, Xiao Yungui began to reconsider going north to Jianghuai to contain the Qing troops.

    "2. The problem in our country is that the finances are insufficient and the tariff cannot be set up suddenly. At the beginning of the decision, we should briefly discuss increasing the tax in the shopping mall and let it be protected. For every two levies in trade, one cent is called a cent gold.  The money is very small, and the businessmen and the people are protected by it, so why not follow it. And if I accumulate a small amount, it will become a huge amount of money, but it is better to be restrained and not to abuse the people." Xiao Yungui laughed when he saw this, money  Jiang was once again promoting his policy of paying more money to the Taiping Army.

    "3. Since Daoguang of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, transportation and commerce in various countries have greatly improved. Prosperous commerce is the foundation of a rich country, and being rich can make it strong. It is advisable to establish treaties and trade with other countries. Send envoys to each other to protect their own shopping malls. With China's vast territory and rich resources,  If it can be gradually promoted, within thirty years, we can be richest in the world." Xiao Yungui also praised this very much. Qianjiang did have a broad vision and could see the importance of foreign trade.

    "Four. Since our army is in financial trouble, we should adhere to the law. Our country has not yet traded with other countries, so we can restrict the import of silver coins from various countries. That is to say, the Qing Dynasty silver coins are not allowed to be used in the designated areas. This will be inconvenient for the merchants and people, and then I can  Cast silver and exchange it with merchants. Exchange other silver and cast my silver. I can make it expediently with 50% or 60% silver drums. All silver, no matter how high or low, just wants to circulate up and down, and it can be used. The rich people think that I don't need to clear the silver, they will  In exchange, you can mint from 10 million to 20 million. If you wear paper currency, you can get 30 million immediately." This article refers to currency reform, and Xiao Yungui thinks it is very interesting.  But reforming the currency system is not that simple and requires long-term planning.

    "5. In the future, the general trend of the world will inevitably focus on sea power. If China is determined in the future, it will still build its capital in Jiangnan. According to the dangers of the rivers, prepare a fleet of boats to breathe in all provinces. With support from all sides, there will be no defense.  Yu." Seeing this, Xiao Yungui nodded secretly. For more than a hundred years since the Opium War, China's sea power has been plaguing this ancient country, and even in later generations it was troubled by the so-called island chain.  It greatly restricted the country's rights and interests, and after Wu Song's war of words.  Developing his own navy has become a link that Xiao Yungui attaches great importance to.

    "6. Since the outbreak of war in our country, the war has not ended, and there is no time to repair the system. Now it is appropriate to open a new subject to recruit scholars and select more literary talents, so that each can contribute his or her strengths, adapt to the situation, and formulate the national system to be adopted." Article 6  It was to persuade the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to open up subjects to recruit scholars and select talents to govern the country. This is true, but Qianjiang is still limited to the ancient imperial examination system. Xiao Yungui thinks that selecting talents is necessary, but the feudal system of recruiting scholars through stereotyped writing is  The imperial examination system must be modified.  However, detailed regulations still need to be drawn up on how to make changes, and Xiao Yungui is not sure to what extent the changes are appropriate.

    "7. The Manchus and Qing Dynasties have been defeated in consecutive battles. In the future, they are afraid of using the power of outsiders to harm the Han people in order to protect their own power. Since they have entered into treaties with various countries to trade, they should treat foreigners in China favorably, to show that the world is one family, and to prevent the  He is treacherous." 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. It was already very powerful.

    "8. Even though our army has won a series of battles, we may still be prepared for exhaustion. Now that our army has exhausted two million, we should train it and divide it into five squads. After Jiangnan is determined, use two squads for the northern expedition, use one squad to go to Fujian and Zhejiang, and leave two squads behind.  Station in Sanjiang and replace them in turns to prevent the troops from being exhausted in order to fight for a long time." Seeing this, Xiao Yungui burst into laughter. Qianjiang still didn't know much about the Taiping Army. The two million soldiers seemed to be boasted by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom themselves. The West Hall had at most  There are more than 100,000 combatable soldiers, and the number in Tianjing is almost the same. Counting the soldiers from Wuchang, Jiujiang, Changsha and other places, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has 500,000 soldiers and horses at full strength. Qianjiang must have thought that those who followed the army  Family members and the people who are being held hostage are also soldiers.  If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had two million soldiers, there would be no need to divide them into several squads and just push them directly to Beijing.  However, Qianjiang's idea of ??dividing the troops and fighting in turns can still be adopted. Xiao Yungui also plans to reorganize the troops. While reorganizing, there will still be troops outside to fight against the Manchus. It seems that after the reorganization begins, the troops of the West Palace will be divided into several squads.  , take turns fighting and training, so as to meet combat needs.

    "Nine, ?The country has a lot of fertile land, which has been abandoned for a long time. It is better to treat the wasteland as public property. In ancient times, the army was integrated into the farmers, or it was the method of garrisoning. If the army is trained on time, the army will be solid and the source of pay will not be exhausted.  "Tuntian seems to be of little interest. Prime Minister Cao of the Three Kingdoms has done it a long time ago. However, it is true that Qianjiang said that there are many abandoned lands in the sacred land. When the war broke out, many fields were abandoned. Reclaiming wasteland as public property is a way out.  .

    "10. Although China has a large number of people, women are fully used. It is appropriate to open more schools for women, or to set up women's departments and female officials to show encouragement. Get rid of the foot-binding trend, and promote the spirit of men. If both men and women are useful, the country will want to  You can't do it if you don't force it." Xiao Yungui found this very strange. It seems that Qian Jiang is not as stubborn as those rotten scholars. He actually proposed to encourage the opening of women's schools and use female officers. If Hong Yun'er read this  , this four-eyed girl will be extremely happy.  Xiao Yungui came from a later generation and did not find it strange to promote equality between men and women. Moreover, there have always been female soldiers in the Taiping Army. They did no less than male soldiers and their role was no weaker than that of male soldiers. This is what distinguished the Taiping Army from the Manchus.  One of the important signs.

    "11. Mineral resources come from geographical advantages, but China is the most prosperous. Except for the copper mines in Sichuan and Yunnan, there is no mining in Manchuria. I should issue an order to all the countries to mine in order to take advantage of the geographical advantages. The national tax has increased, and the people's wealth has increased day by day.  However, if we want to develop mining, it will be of great benefit to all countries to establish railways to facilitate transportation and to promote business. The above opinions are only rough and will depend on other factors. The Qing Dynasty used cruelty, I used kindness, and the Qing Dynasty only used it  I am a member of the clan and I will fight for the disadvantages of great unity and equality. This is the only way to prosper the king. May the king pay attention!" After reading this article, Xiao Yungui was surprised. The Qianjiang River can actually see mining and railway construction.  For such a long-term plan, we must know that railways only began to be built in Western countries at the beginning of the 19th century. France, the United States, Britain and other countries are still vigorously building railways in their own countries. For China, railways are basically a new thing, and they don¡¯t know the cost.  How did Jiang learn about this?

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

    Qian Jiang replied: "In the past, when I negotiated with foreigners in Guangzhou for a long time, I heard from foreign merchants and saw their pictures. The railway is made of steel, and there is a Western iron ox machine on it as a means of transportation. This iron ox  It is said that if you don't drink or drink, you can travel thousands of miles in a day without rest" Qian Jiang thought that Xiao Yungui didn't know what a railway was, and he had never seen it, but he heard a foreign businessman in Guangzhou boast about it, so he talked about it in detail.

    Xiao Yungui raised his hand and interrupted: "Well, I know about this railway." At this point, he paused and asked strangely: "You said before that there were twelve strategies, why did it end at the eleventh strategy?  "

    Qian Jiang coughed lightly, looked at Li Xuanji who was waiting on the side and said: "King Xi, this twelfth policy is of great importance. Can you please explain it in detail separately?"

    Xiao Yungui said "oh" and looked at Li Xuanji. This guy was having bad ideas about Xuanji's sister. In order to please him, he said: "It doesn't matter. The people around me are all confidants, but it doesn't matter."

    Qian Jiang groaned, thinking to himself that the beautiful woman next to King Xi was the concubine of King Xi. No wonder King Xi didn't avoid it, and then whispered: "This twelfth policy was originally written for the King of Heaven to see, but I  Since King Wen Tian entered Changsha, he has been living in seclusion. Most of the military and political affairs are in charge of the East King and the West King. The West King fought all the way from Guangxi to Jinling and has great military power, so this time the advice is dedicated to the West King.  The Twelve Strategies are useful for the King of Heaven, but are unfavorable for the King of the West, so they were omitted when I copied them."

    Xiao Yungui frowned and said, "Tell me, what is the twelfth strategy?"

    Qian Jiang said slowly: "The twelfth policy in the original manuscript is that the system of hundreds of officials should be divided into levels. Since the king of heaven has granted each king a title, it can no longer be changed. The authority should be separated according to official positions to focus on military and political affairs. Let the kings and princes and below  The advisors and brave generals are free from restraint and can perform their duties. Sincerely speaking, no matter how high the talent is, even the princes of various countries cannot occupy high positions and hold great power. Since I am seeking refuge with the King of the West this time, this article must be changed.  "

    Xiao Yungui was slightly shocked when he heard this. The Qianjiang River was clearly suggesting that the Heavenly King reduce the power of each king and distribute the power of each king to his subordinates to advise and brave generals to prevent a few kings from becoming dominant.

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

    Qian Jiang whispered: "The King of the West is a man of understanding. In the Kingdom of Heaven, the two people above the King of the West do not seem to be the masters of the Ming Dynasty. I recently heard that when Tianjing was under the rule of the King of the West, the government was harmonious and the people were happy and peaceful.  The three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism were harmonious. However, after the change of ownership in Tianjing, there was a great trend of rejection, and the people were miserable. It was not the sign of a wise ruler to act in reverse before the country was firmly established. The king of heaven lived in seclusion, ignored political affairs, and had great power in military and political affairs.  Sooner or later, the Kingdom of Heaven will be replaced by a master. The King of the West is now sitting in the sacred land of Soochow, with more than 200,000 soldiers at his disposal. Doesn't he have any intention of replacing him?"

    Xiao Yungui's expression changed, he slapped the case and shouted angrily: "You Qianjiang, how dare you talk nonsense here, come here! Pull him outGo and chop it for me!  "Several West Hall guards poured in outside the tent, crossed the Qianjiang River and left. To be continued.
