Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It was already early winter, but a winter rain fell in Tianjing City. The pattering rain in the cold north wind made people feel a depressing haze. The thick red clouds had not dispersed for several days, and the rainwater poured on the ground.  , it condenses into ice when it freezes at night, and the bluestone roads in Tianjing City are extremely slippery.

    Opening the window and looking out, the sky was still dark and hazy, and Han Baoying's mood became even more depressed. She had been working in the women's hall these days.  During the Tianjing Incident, many women became helpless. The deaths of many soldiers in the East Palace caused many mothers to lose their sons and many wives to lose their husbands. So the women's houses in the city began to accept and care for them.

    After the King of the West entered Tianjing, he began to implement the reform of Sufu Province. The Holy Treasury will gradually stop distributing money and food in a big pot style within a few months. Eventually, the Holy Treasury will be officially transformed into a national treasury like Sufu Province.  The civil and military officials, soldiers and soldiers in Tianjing City have begun to receive salaries and grains according to their grades, while the common people no longer need to hand over all the grain and money they produce to the Holy Treasury. Those who farm the land pay grain taxes and do business.  Pay business tax. In short, after you have done the work and paid the tax, the rest is yours.

    The King of the West restored the private ownership of Tianjing City. The fields that had been allocated near Tianjing City were still allocated as before. The West Hall did not make any major changes to the land. It only remade the title deeds and distributed them. The private ownership of the land was recognized, but the sale of the distributed land was strictly prohibited.  .

    Many of the families of the soldiers who died in the East Palace incident did not have land. They were soldiers of the East Palace, and many of them relied on the money and food provided by the Holy Treasury. Now that the men who served as soldiers have died, the Holy Treasury will gradually stop distributing money and food, because  These soldiers were formerly soldiers of the East Palace and could not be provided with pensions and pensions according to the regulations on pensions for soldiers killed in battle in the West Palace. The West Palace only took out a sum of money from the holy treasury.  A one-time pension was distributed to tens of thousands of families whose men had died, but the money would still be used up.

    So the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry and the subordinate Civil Affairs Department of Xidian began to arrange the way out for these people. The elderly did their best work under the arrangement of the old and young children's center, the children were going to study in the school opened by Xidian in Tianjing, and the women concentrated there.  Women's Pavilion.

    In the past few days, Han Baoying, Hu Jiumei and other female officials have been at the women's hall.  They have done nothing else these days but register the women in the female officers' ranks. At the same time, the female soldiers in the female battalion must also register and create a register.

    What makes Han Baoying unhappy is that there are rumors that the King of the West will disband the female battalion in Tianjing. In the future, female battalion soldiers will no longer go into battle to kill the enemy. The female battalion soldiers will be divided into the Logistics Department, the Publicity Department, the Emergency Department, etc.  Go to the war department.  She also asked King Xi about it, and King Xi¡¯s answer was simple.  From now on, the West Palace will not let female soldiers go to the battlefield unless all the men in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are dead.

    What a domineering and unreasonable man!  The more Han Baoying thought about it, the more unwilling she became, she couldn't help but grab the bonsai by the window with one hand, and soon all the branches and leaves of the bonsai were pulled out.

    "Fourth girl, the King of the West asked you to come over." A counselor from the West Palace came to send a message, and Han Baoying cursed in a low voice.  But he still dressed up and left the house. What did this man want to do?

    The King of the West did not live in the Heavenly Prince's Mansion. He still lived in the West Prince's Mansion. The Heavenly Prince's Mansion is now only used as a place to discuss government affairs. The King of the West has not officially ascended the throne, so he still lives in the West Prince's Mansion.

    Arriving at the study room of the Xiwang Mansion, the Xiwang was writing furiously.  After hearing the announcement, the counselor said without raising his head: "Baoying, you sit down first, there are only two sentences left to write."

    Han Baoying had a pretty face and was not polite. She sat aside. After Xiao Yungui finished writing, he handed it to the thin book beside him and said: "Send it to the left prime minister immediately, and let the Ministry of Industry organize and implement it immediately. Only the location of the silk reeling factory will be left to the left prime minister."  Think about it again, uh, you don¡¯t need to pass this on. I¡¯ve written it all on it.¡± Bo Shu collected the official document and turned around.

    Xiao Yungui found an official document from the pile of official documents, stepped forward and said to Han Baoying: "This is an official document issued by the Ministry of War on the disbandment of the Tianjing Women's Battalion. After the dissolution, the placement of the female soldiers has been arranged. You  Take it down and follow it, I will ask Hu Jiumei and the other female officers to help you later."

    Han Baoying¡¯s pretty face turned cold.  He stood up with a stern face and said angrily: "Your Highness the King of the West, the female battalion soldiers also fought for the kingdom of heaven through life and death. Are you going to disband it now? Have you seen the petition submitted by our female battalion?  Books? That¡¯s what everyone wants!¡±

    Xiao Yungui touched his nose and frowned: "I have read it. You should read the official document first before talking."

    Han Baoying opened the official document angrily, read it at a glance, and looked at Xiao Yungui in surprise at the end.  Xiao Yungui smiled and said: "I can retain some female soldiers, but they must be voluntarily retained as female soldiers, and they must be literate. The selected qualified female soldiers will be arranged to be retrained at the Shanghai Military Academy.  , after training, they will accept the assessment standards of male soldiers, and only those who pass the test can become female soldiers and reorganize the female army of the Kingdom of Heaven."

      Xiao Yungui smiled sinisterly. He knew that many women in the women's camp actually did not want to be female soldiers for the rest of their lives. Therefore, a large number of people would be removed during the first screening, and then a large number of people would be removed if they were literate.  Then some people will be removed from the training and assessment at the Shanghai Martial Arts Hall. In the end, the remaining female soldiers are barely enough to form an army. Where is the need to form a female army?

    Han Baoying didn't think too much, and a smile finally broke out on her face. She happily stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yungui's hand and said, "Thank you, King Xi, I'll go now." After saying this, she realized that she had actually pulled King Xi's hand.  Dashou, his pretty face turned red immediately, lowered his head and ran away in a hurry.

    Xiao Yungui couldn't help but burst into laughter. Hong Yun'er, who had just entered the room, said strangely: "Why are you laughing? And what's wrong with Baoying? Her face is as red as a monkey's butt." Hong Yun'er followed and said "oh"  , said with some displeasure: "Are you teasing someone else's little girl again?"

    Xiao Yungui smiled bitterly and said: "The conscience of heaven and earth is that your husband-in-law is being teased." After saying that, he sat back at the desk and said: "I have been really busy recently. The Dongwang and the others in Tianjing have wiped out all the industry and commerce. Many people have been molested."  The craftsmen's workshops have become publicly owned and business has languished. It is really difficult to restore Tianjing's economy."

    Hong Yun'er smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, as long as your preferential policies are implemented, the capital in Sufu Province will definitely flow here. Aren't the foreigners also ready to move? In fact, it is not possible to adjust the economy.  It's difficult, as long as there is profit, there will be capital." She paused and said, "On the contrary, the reorganization of the army is difficult, especially the Dongdian soldiers in Jiangxi, which number hundreds of thousands, which is really huge.  .¡±

    Xiao Yungui took out an official document and said: "Yes, it is really a human wave tactic. Everyone is recruited as soldiers. Many soldiers are used as cannon fodder. This is a waste of manpower. The Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Household Affairs have joined forces  Drafted a charter and planned to streamline Jiangxi's Dongdian Army. The old rules were to reorganize on the spot and eliminate the old and weak. Then they were brought back to Shanghai in batches for training, and some were reorganized into Jiangxi's rural corps to guard the local area, while the others went home to farm.  .¡±

    Hong Yun'er sighed softly and said: "Everywhere costs money. The reform of the Holy Treasury here in Tianjing also costs a lot of money and food. Fortunately, Jiangxi has not fully implemented the Holy Treasury. It still counts as paying food as usual.  It¡¯s not a heavy burden.¡±

    Xiao Yungui frowned and said: "No, the civil affairs here in Jiangxi are just as complicated. The gentry and rich are still there, and they still pay for food. It is no different from the Manchu rule. It's just that Jiangxi has been through wars and the population has been depleted. The population and population are temporarily covered up.  Land conflicts, and Jiangxi¡¯s private capital is concentrated in the hands of the gentry, are not conducive to the promotion of the Sufu model. Therefore, within the next year, Jiangxi will still have to carry out land redemption, farmland clearing, reallocation, rent reduction and interest reduction, etc.  It still costs money. But Jiangxi is rich in natural resources, so I think the pressure will be less."

    Hong Yun'er nodded, looked at the documents piled as high as a mountain, and casually read a book and asked, "Are these all forms of persuasion to enter?"

    ????

    Hong Yun'er said with a faint smile: "It seems that our momentum building and public opinion guidance are still very successful. So what do you think?"

    Xiao Yungui touched his nose and stood up and walked a few steps: "Before I entered Tianjing, I always thought about ascending the throne and becoming emperor, but now that I have the conditions, I can't help but think about it again. This is the best time to become emperor."  Is it the right time?"

    Hong Yuner sighed and said, "How do you say this?"

    Xiao Yungui took out a piece of information and handed it over and said, "Have you read the news about the accession of the young emperor Tongzhi to the throne?"

    Hong Yuner nodded.  Didn't accept the information, "You forgot, this information was sent to you by me. Of course I have read it."

    Xiao Yungui said slowly: "There is no problem for me to proclaim the emperor now, but what does it mean to proclaim the emperor? There are no two masters in the sky and the people have no two masters. This means that after I proclaim the emperor, I must launch the Northern Expedition to attack the false emperor Tongzhi.  "

    Hong Yun'er already knew what he was thinking and said: "The Hunan Army in Hunan has not been solved at the moment. The Northern Expedition is very unrealistic. Moreover, you have just entered Tianjing and proclaimed yourself emperor. Are you afraid that the foundation will be unstable?"

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "Yes, we will conquer the nine southern provinces and then go to the north. This is the established strategy. I plan to use one year to completely defeat the Hunan Army. Fujian has been almost integrated, and then we can move to Guangdong. At this time, the British and French  After declaring war with the Qing Dynasty, they were happy to see us occupy Guangdong. After pacifying the Hunan Army, we can occupy Hunan, and then the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. With the nine southern provinces determined, we can launch a large-scale Northern Expedition and conquer the Central Plains in one battle. To  At that time, my foundation must have been solid, and it would be a matter of course for me to become emperor again. In short, I feel that proclaiming emperor now is too hasty, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

    Hong Yuner snorted, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Have you discussed it with the Left Prime Minister?"

    Xiao Yungui nodded slightly and said: "Among the hundreds of civil and military officials, the Prime Minister Zuo did not go up to persuade Jin Biao. He only said that the King of the West is the only one in the Kingdom of Heaven. He does not have the name of the emperor and acts as an emperor. Why bother to correct his name? Fundamentals  Forcibly proclaiming himself emperor when the situation is unstable will only lead to more criticism."

    Hong Yun'er hummed thoughtfully and said, "In that case, let's not call ourselves emperors for the time being."

    Xiao Yungui smiled, took her into his arms and asked in a low voice: "What? Are you a little disappointed that you can't become the queen?"

    Hong Yun'er spat at him and said, "I think Emperor Xiao is disappointed that you can't open a harem again."

    Xiao Yungui burst into laughter, "Someone is jealous." Hong Yun'er broke away angrily and said, "Be serious, it's office hours. It won't be good if someone comes in and sees the book." Xiao Yungui laughed dryly a few times,  Asked: "By the way, why are you here?"

    "You guessed it right. Hong Renfa and Hong Tianguifu defected to Hong Renxuan in Hong Kong. These uncles and nephews are really capable and were able to go to Hong Kong." Hong Yun'er took out Tong Qiangsheng's autograph letter and said: "Tong Qiangsheng  Qiang Sheng wrote to ask how to deal with it.¡±

    Xiao Yungui pondered for a moment and then said: "Bring the people back to Shanghai secretly, including Hong Renxuan. I will meet them when I return to Shanghai later. As long as Hong Tianguifu doesn't show up, there is no threat. It doesn't matter whether I kill him or not."  Regarding the relationship, Hong Renxuan is also a talented person, I have to go and meet him. If I can let Hong Renxuan work under my account, it will eliminate the great doubts of the King of Heaven¡¯s old department."

    Hong Yun'er responded. At this time, a nurse outside the house shouted happily: "The sky is clear." Hong Yun'er opened the window and looked out. Sure enough, the sky was clearing up, and the warm sun shone down, making people feel relaxed and happy.

    "Ah, it's finally sunny. It's always been cloudy these days, and I'm in a bad mood." Hong Yun'er said to herself, then looked back at Xiao Yungui and asked: "Is this a good sign? Let's  One day we will be able to rule the world!"

    Xiao Yungui put down the ink pen in his hand and said with a smile: "It must be possible. Our Dingding Tianjing is the first step towards Dingding the world"
