    Under the powerful grassroots political organizations, relying on a high-speed and effective mobilization system, and relying on the accumulation of popular military training over the years, twenty mobilization brigades were quickly established.  Moreover, it was combined with the existing security brigade and appeared on the road system leading to Guangdong and Guangxi from various places in South and Central China under the designation of security brigade.  All this was completed in just a few dozen days!  These situations have amazed and shocked the mainland businessmen doing business in various parts of South China.  "Although we have all known for a long time that the rule of Duke Liang was governed by Qin law. From the Duke's palace to ordinary people, there were officials to manage, and every move was governed by laws. However, we never thought that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses,  It was completed overnight? " "That's not a big deal! Look at those soldiers in Yi La, who are not smiling when they are walking on the road? They are also happy when they see them off, as if they are not going to war.  It's like marrying a bride! It's like what Du Gongbu said in his poem when we were studying: "The mother-in-law and the wife are leaving each other, and the dust is gone. They hold their clothes and stop the road and cry, and the cry goes up to the sky."  The reporter asked the passerby, but the passerby said, "They are completely different!" Alas, I heard my parents, wives and children tell me that we must fight well and come back with meritorious service to make our family's life better!  What Tai Shigong said is that if you don't win the title, you will not return? Is it really like the Qin Dynasty? "Everyone, tell me, with such a background, such strength, and this battle, do you have any doubts?"  " "Liang Guogong's troops are well-prepared, have sharp weapons, and have millions of soldiers in reserve like servants and white-armored soldiers. Naturally, there is no problem. However, I heard that he still wants to support an army.  A member of the Ming Dynasty is the emperor. This kind of thing is undoubtedly detrimental to the morale of the army. " "Although we are merchants and civilians, under the rule of this country, as long as you pay your taxes in full and on time, no one will discriminate against you!  You! In the future, we might as well sign a letter together and ask the Duke to take pity on the common people in the world, so that he can regain his position as soon as possible, so as to calm the people of the world!" Naturally, the discussions of the merchants in the business house will not affect them!  The march of troops on the road.  They continued to follow the march plan promulgated by the staff office, followed the planned route, and came north with full morale.  There are as many as 200,000 troops.  There are also a large number of weapons, baggage, artillery and vehicles accompanying them. Naturally, they cannot be transported by sea, let alone march along the narrow paths.  Fortunately, Li Shouhan was never a student at Harvard University, so he naturally did not believe in self-governance by the people.  Since the establishment of the infrastructure, Li Shouhan has been continuously strengthening the road system and establishing a strict management system.  At the same time, a road construction engineering team was specially formed that some people criticized as outdated, and they constantly challenged the rainforests, rivers, mountains and canyons. Finally, after more than 20 years of hard work, they successfully surpassed the Qin people in history and built  The new straight road project can be called a miracle in Central and South China.  This, or rather this new straight road project, has the northernmost section reaching Shaoguan and Xianxia Ridge, and the outposts extend deep into southern Jiangxi.  Then, it went south along Fujian and Guangdong, connecting the villages and towns in various prefectures, cities, counties, and towns with roads.  In Meizhou, in the Pearl River Delta, in Leizhou, in Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and in Guilin, a dense network of roads has been woven, and bridges have been built across mountains and rivers, or pontoons have been built at ferries.  The original port terminals along the coast have been greatly expanded to facilitate the berthing of large ships.  The new straight road project refers to the road classification system of modern China, which is mainly divided into three levels: national highways, provincial highways, and rural roads. All national highways and most provincial highways are built by professional road construction teams.  Because he was afraid that his neighbor¡¯s seniors would ask for the copyright, and considering the characteristics of the times, Li Shouhan did not dare to use the name Railway Corps. However, the specific work of the engineering team was the same as that of the Railway Corps.  Although Nanzhong does not have the vast territory, changeable climate, and complex engineering of New China, the challenges it faces are similar.  That is, we must use the shortest possible time to open up the connection between major resource producing areas and industrial zones. At the same time, we must also consider the smooth flow of private logistics to promote economic development.  Historically, the railway soldiers dug through the Qinling Mountains in the north, went south to Chengdu-Kunming, passed through Bashu in the west, and passed through Xiangcheng in the middle. Until now, every time travelers pass the Chengdu-Kunming line, they are still shocked by the persistence and achievements of the railway soldiers.  However, some people are just able to throw away jade as dirt. When this illustrious army has not yet completed the diversion from Luan to Tianjin, what awaits them is not a celebration, but an order to disband.  Every time Li Shouhan looked back on this period of history, he always felt pain in his heart. He was determined to treat these heroes who fought in the mountains and valleys favorably, and he would not let Yu Gong shed tears after he finished his sweat.  Fortunately, since Li Shouhan had this idea, the following naturally did not dare to mess around.  Therefore, although the engineering force has always been known for its difficult conditions and high casualty rate, the generous food, salary, and good retirement security still attract the best young people to join.  Apart from anything else, a company directly under the Li family's direct administration would be enough to recruit young people from Nanjing Middle School.?The head is drilled into it.  Of course, Li Shouhan would not reveal this. He would always thank the engineering troops for their integrity and hard work from time to time, and then silently increase their salary, and then increase it a little more.  Even those official slaves who serve in the Ruan family's road construction company can be released from their status as official slaves in advance and become free as long as they perform well or perform meritorious services.  Moreover, Li Shouhan inherited a fine tradition. If there are official slaves in the family, then, whether you are a combat force, a sailor on a merchant ship, or a worker on a road construction team, as long as you have made meritorious service, you can use your military merit to  The service period of a loved one can be offset, or even the status of a free person can be restored directly.  Perhaps because of his low academic qualifications, Li Shouhan was never used to scolding others for being lazy while lowering their salary even further.  After the opening of national highways and major provincial highways, a rural road project that tested the regime's control ability was placed in front of Li Shouhan.  In this regard, Li Shouhan adopted the principle of encouraging road construction through multiple channels through grassroots political power. To put it simply, no matter you are a landlord, a factory owner, a large merchant, or a temple abbot or a Catholic, as long as you can come up with money and food,  If you build roads that meet government standards, the government will provide you with industrial subsidies, tax cuts, or business introductions.  At the same time, for the rural roads that have been built, the responsibility for the rural roads will be divided into sections, and the grassroots cadres will be responsible for the maintenance of the rural roads.  To put it bluntly, it is to copy the rural road management system after the founding of the People's Republic of China. This system is naturally not advanced in China today, but at that time, it was absolutely groundbreaking.  Generally speaking, there is no road in the first place, that is, after more people walk on it, a road is formed.  Since no one is cultivating it, why do we need to maintain it?  Occasionally, there would be one or two people who built bridges, repaired roads, and did daily maintenance. They were either regarded as good people who had great merit in the village, or they were strange people.  Platoon Leader Li's memoirs said that Bie Tingfang, the leader of the militia group in western Henan, had similar regulations. In order to meet the needs of the Anti-Japanese War, farmers in the area must repair the road after rain and clear the snow after snow.  Make sure the roads are clear.  Platoon Leader Li praised this, and by the way, he also complained, why are so many Central Army generals and senior government officials inferior to a militia leader?  ¡°Of course, these road maintenance expenses have a source, and the grassroots officials in the townships will not be left to figure out their own solutions. Li Shouhan cannot do that kind of thing that requires horses to run away and not eat grass.  He had promulgated road-related regulations as early as the Ha Tinh period. All registered vehicles and vessels, in addition to being requisitioned for public service, must pay road maintenance fees and road tolls.  That kind of good thing, where merchants transport goods to make profits, but let the people along the way perform labor to repair the roads, may be possible in the Central Plains, but it is unthinkable in the South.  There are hundreds of thousands of national, provincial and rural roads, as well as bridges on countless rivers, pontoons built at ferries, and permanent ferries, which provide a good hardware foundation for the rapid maneuvering of hundreds of thousands of troops.  With these smooth roads, we can ensure that the troops can complete the abnormal speed from formation to march to Guangdong and Guangxi within forty days.  Of course, these are not solely dependent on hardware.  The formulation and implementation of various systems and plans are the guarantee of victory.  Not to mention anything else, let¡¯s just talk about the formulation of the march plan. In the history of our country, there has always been a saying that soldiers have passed through a certain place. There is even a rule that if a large army passes through a certain place, then there is a rule that no army will be arranged to pass through this place within three years.  .  Why?  It is because the passage of large groups of troops and horses will cause great harassment to local life.  The system of the Ming Dynasty court is even more excessive. It clearly stipulates that I will only distribute food to you if the army has been on my three-thirds of an acre of land for more than three days.  During these three days, you should first eat the wind, drink the dew, and cultivate your qi!  However, you cannot stop fighting, or even defeat the war.  Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for impeaching you with my brilliant pen!  The march plan avoids this.  The plan formulated by the staff office is also copied to the official office.  The two departments jointly wrote a document, which generally means that a certain unit, with regiments as units, has as many personnel, horses, and vehicles as it passes through a certain place in a certain province on a certain day of a certain month and year, and orders a division to prepare food and firewood for the department.  Some beans, vegetables and other items.  Relevant expenses should be recorded and confirmed with the signature and seal of the official of the ministry, and the write-off will be organized in a unified manner in the future.  This way, it not only avoids road congestion and obstruction, which affects local traffic, but also allows passing troops not to worry about food. After marching for dozens of miles, they can have a hot and delicious meal.  At the same time, you can also carry some vegetables and meat to the campsite ahead.  This situation only occurs in old base areas.  During the Battle of Qingfengdian, the North China Army flew 240 miles day and night, from Xushui in the north of Baoding to the Fangshunqiao combat area in Ding County.  The people in the old base area in central Hebei have set up food and water stations every fifty meters on both sides of the dozens of miles of road. They boil water to cook porridge, steam buns and bake flatbreads day and night.  The women not only carried baskets and dustpans to the soldiers' hands, but also stuffed them into their pockets and tore them into strips.Roast chicken, hard-boiled eggs, pancakes, sweet potatoes, steamed buns, peanuts, jujubes, persimmons, walnuts, and the porridge at the right temperature were cooked in a large vat so that his soldiers could eat it all the way.  "On the contrary, the well-equipped national troops can only march dozens of miles a day relying on American-made ten-wheel trucks. Not to mention eating, they can't even drink a sip of clean water.  The reason is also very simple. Without a complete grassroots organization and political power, people have lost their hearts. No matter how good the weapons are, they are just trophies prepared for others.  In addition to the fact that the army crossing the border is no longer a nuisance to the people and a disaster to the village, it is even said that the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep raised by the villagers themselves, the fish in the pond, the vegetables in the vegetable fields, and the fruits on the trees are often destroyed.  The passing troops spent money to improve the food for the brothers.  There are many things that amazed the officials of the former Ming Dynasty system in Guangdong and Guangxi, headed by Jiang Yihong and Huang Xigun. ?????????????????????????????????????? away out] originally thought that if the country had a major expedition, all kinds of resentment among the people would inevitably boil, because all matters such as food requisition, dispatch of missionaries, laborers, requisition of cars and ships, etc. would all be placed on the heads of the people.  When they first saw the mobilization order, marching plan and other orders issued by the official office, their first reaction was to be shocked!  In the first phase, 15 brigades and 200,000 people were mobilized to go north. In addition to the vehicles, mules and horses accompanying the army, the number of civilians, vehicles and ships that needed to be mobilized was a huge number.  Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the consumption of wages and various military supplies. Just the food problem for these 200,000 people heading north along the way is a huge sum.  What's more, the superiors also assigned quotas for grain, grass and beans to be sent north.  "Today, there are no less than 100,000 troops and horses in Songjiang Prefecture, in southern Gansu, and in Ningbo, not counting the navy. They have to be transported and consumed by the eldest son of Shandong. This, this  . This, roughly speaking, must feed at least four to five million people a month! Such a huge consumption is to waste the accumulation of the Lord over the past few decades!" Although Jiang Yihong, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi,  It has been several years since he joined the Southern Guangdong Army, but his way of thinking still cannot break out of the traditional scholar's thinking pattern.  He made a rough estimate and found that the rations for four to five million people were calculated based on the minimum standard of one stone of grain per soldier per month. At least 600,000 stone of grain would have to be sent north to be stored for the army.  (The extra 100,000 shi is the cost of transportation along the way and the need for backup.) What's more, the food standards of the southern Guangdong army also include oil, salt, meat, vegetables, etc.  Compared with him, Huang Xigun, who was recently transferred from the chief envoy of Guangxi to the governor of Guangdong, was also shocked by this number, but after all, he was much younger, and his thoughts and consciousness were much faster than Jiang Yihong.  "Sir, I don't think it will necessarily shake the foundation of the country. Although my lord always seems to do things that are unbelievable, the results are often unexpected." "Alas! Zong Lin," Jiang Yihong called Huang Xigun's name, "don't talk about it now.  The only places where our Ming Dynasty could compete with the Tatars were in Guangdong and Guangxi, Fujian and half of Yunnan and Nanzhong under the rule of the Lord. If the late emperor was still alive during the Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty would still be able to fight.  , now most of the country has fallen into the hands of the Tatars and has become a land of evil. You and I are both scholars and are familiar with historical events. If we go to war in such a big way, let alone the Chongzhen Dynasty, it will be the country's national strength when it was first established.  The powerful Hongwu, Yongle and Xuande dynasties were also filled with resentment. You must know that Chengzu mobilized civilians and mobilized soldiers and horses in Shandong several times. What was the result?  In the Tang Dynasty, Sai'er's Bailian sect rebelled, and dozens of groups including Bin Hong, Dong Yangao, Ding Gugang, Liu Xin, Liu Jun, Wang Xuan, Hao Yunzhong, Bai Bai'er, Gao Yang'er, Wang Zhu'er, Yang San, etc.  The rebels swept through nine prefectures and counties including Qingzhou, Laizhou, Juzhou, Jiaozhou, Anqiu, Shouguang, Zhucheng, and Jimo, and the whole of Shandong was shaken. Two members of the imperial court lost thousands of troops to her.  The disaster lasted for dozens of days, but the whereabouts of the chief culprit Tang Saier were unknown. Chengzu was furious and had the chief envoy of Shandong, the counselor, the envoy to the inspection, the deputy envoy to the inspection, and the chief minister of Shandong on the charge of "allowing the thieves to cause chaos without speaking out."  In order to track down Tang Sai'er's whereabouts and worry that she might become a nun or mix with female Taoist priests, they ordered the arrest of female nuns in the capital and Shandong twice between March and May of the same year.  and female Taoist priests, and later arrested tens of thousands of nuns and female Taoist priests across the country, and escorted them to the capital for examination. Thousands of monks died before and after. " "Sir, how can you compare Cheng Zu with the Lord? Since the battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di has been in trouble many times.  Being frustrated in Shandong means that he hates the people of Shandong deeply. Not to mention that he himself was almost killed in Shandong several times, and all his direct troops were lost in Shandong, which can be regarded as a hatred as deep as the sea.  In addition to recruiting civilians in the previous expeditions into the desert, he moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing and overhauled the palace to provide for it.He supported the officials and troops in the capital, organized the transfer of grain from the south to the north, built canals, dug rivers, and recruited a large number of civilians, especially Shandong people.  During the Yongle period, floods and droughts occurred continuously in Shandong.  The people survived by eating tree bark and grass roots, but they still "continuously labored and expropriated." How could the people not rebel?  How to reason with Chengzu without using swords and guns in his hands?  !  " After staying in the Southern Guangdong Army for a long time, Huang Xigun no longer paid too much attention to Zhu Di and other emperors of the Zhu Ming Dynasty. Not only did he call him by his name, but he also lacked the meaning of being respectful in his words. He directly  The source of the chaos in Shandong is linked to the revenge mentality in Zhu Di¡¯s heart: ¡°My lord, it is also a state-owned enterprise, and it is also recruiting a large number of civilians.  The national highways and provincial highways in Guangdong and Guangxi that you have completed in your hands seem to be no less than the excavation and dredging of canals, right?  Has it caused public dissatisfaction?  ¡± Huang Xigun was half telling the truth, and half was trying to flatter his boss.
