Section 28 The Allies (I)
The articles of association of the shareholders' meeting were ready-made, and Deng Ming copied a lot of the rules of the Sichuan Yuanhui, and those gentlemen who had shops under them also vaguely saw that these rules had a lot to do with the power of the shareholders. The Weixian Council, like the Sichuan Council, is a noble house, which is completely composed of people with high local morality, but Deng Ming also taught them the rule that the advantage of general issues can pass guò, and the absolute advantage of two-thirds of important issues can pass guò.
Everyone can accept the advantage, but the two-thirds advantage makes many gentlemen puzzled, feeling that this is somewhat inconsistent with the practice of shareholders' deliberations. Deng Ming also patiently explained that since coming to this world, he has been in a high position, so he feels that he has a deeper understanding of many rules: "General issues, such as levying more soldiers and paying more soldiers, although this will cause contradictions, it may not allow everyone to meet each other, so a simple advantage is enough; However, some strict issues, such as whether to accept the conditions of recruitment, whether to fight against Beijing or declare war on Chengdu, are all issues that may trigger a civil war, and they must be absolutely superior. What is absolute superiority? That is, more than two-thirds of the supporters, that is, twice as many supporters as opponents, twice as many people and financial resources, and under normal circumstances there will be a crushing victory - unless a few send a military genius, but the probability of the emergence of a military genius is twice the advantage. ”
"What the Kook means is that the House is meant to avoid infighting." Xia Juren woke up suddenly.
"That's right. And it can make people clearly understand the balance of power, even everyone in the opposition knows that they are at an absolute disadvantage, and the superior side knows that they have the absolute upper hand, so that once the war starts, one side is full of confidence, and the other side is likely to rebel continuously. It's like the infighting between the three kings in the imperial court six years ago, there is no such a chamber, and the king of Qin is convinced that he is strong and can win, but the result is not like that at all. If there was a vote in the Parliament, and the King of Qin could correctly assess his strength, he might not choose to meet the King of Jin. Deng Ming's example has always been unscrupulous, and after the initial shock, most of the gentry in Weixian are now accustomed to it: "That's why I said that voting is not allowed to be cheating, because this is used to measure the balance of power, in other words, this is the way we fight infighting - not to fight a battle with a knife and a gun, but to vote to estimate victory or defeat." General topics are unlikely to lead to infighting, and simple advantages are sufficient, while dangerous topics that are easy to lead to infighting must have an absolute advantage in order to get through. Moreover, voting fraud is a felony, and the crime is deliberately causing bloody infighting, which will undoubtedly skew everyone's estimation of the consequences of infighting, and greatly increase the likelihood of bloody fighting. ”
In addition to this role, Deng Ming felt that it could also give potential traitors a greater moral burden - the betrayal that had previously been directed at the individual was now a collective betrayal of the gentry group.
Not only is the commander of the army responsible to the Jinxian Council, but this parliament also has the power to appoint and dismiss Weixian officials.
After selling his rules to the gentry of Weixian County in the shortest possible time, Deng Ming immediately asked Gao Yunxuan and others to come to meet the members of the Gentry Council: "Gao Shaoxia, I have seen your boss. ”
The power of the gentry is very strong, especially they control the judicial power of towns and villages outside Sichuan, this is actually a very terrifying force, they are the formulators and maintainers of order, if there is no imperial examination as a useful tool, the imperial power will definitely not be able to trample on the feudal power of the gentry in this way. Now that Deng Ming has drummed out the Jingentry Council, if the imperial examination fails, the power of the wealthy families in the Han and Han dynasties will reappear, and the combat effectiveness of this force is much stronger than that of the barbarian nations. However, Deng Ming also secretly prepared a set of combination punches to deal with - the advantage of aliens is that everything is ready-made; It's just that the Gentry House is still a baby, and now it's a mess, I'm afraid he will be killed on the spot, so he didn't take it out for the time being.
With Deng Ming's support and the cooperation of Gao Yunxuan's troops, the Gentry House easily completed the reorganization of the army, eliminating those tasks that they felt were dangerous from the ranks of the rebels. In order to ensure that the army they spent money on would not be counterattacked, the gentry also sent some clansmen to join the army, most of whom were scholars, and there were several talents.
"Good iron does not hit nails, and good men do not serve as soldiers." After seeing intellectuals join the army, Deng Ming felt even more satisfied, so it was worth it for him to spend some time reorganizing the army under the city of Weixian. Intellectuals can make the army more capable of learning and more likely to obey orders, which is why Deng Ming spared no expense to promote cultural classes in the Sichuan army. Moreover, compared with the green battalion, where the officers were generally illiterate, such an army was also more susceptible to the influence of nationalism: although for the time being, the Shandong gentry were still terrified of the Qing court, but compared with the green battalion officers who could not distinguish between "Lu and fish", Huayi's distinction could undoubtedly make the young scholars feel more pain in their hearts.
The gentry didn't want to break with the Qing court, and Deng Ming didn't force them to do so, so Deng Ming even asked them to change the names of the rebels around Weixian instead of using such a simple name as "Righteous Army", which not only sounded like a grass platform, but also full of the smell of rebels.
"How about helping the Qing Dynasty destroy the Ming Army?" A word popped up in Deng Ming's mind, the movement in his previous life was also from Shandong, and after a slight modification, Deng Ming took it out and discussed it with the Jingentry Council, Gao Yunxuan, Xing Zhisheng and others.
No one picked up, although Deng Ming broadened everyone's horizons again and again, but this time many Jedi even if they used Deng Ming's discipline, this mention was too appalling.
"I don't mind at all, the gentleman is in his heart, doesn't such a name still help you accept Zhao'an?" Deng Ming tried his best to dispel everyone's concerns, he felt that his idea was very good, and after blurting out "Fu Qing to destroy the Ming Army", Deng Ming found that he immediately liked the deep cold humor in the name.
"Does Guogong really want us to accept Zhao'an?" Gao Yunxuan couldn't help but ask, after the trip to Yangzhou, he thought that he would not be surprised by anything again, but he found out again and again that he was very wrong.
"Of course, isn't your master just trying to recruit An?" Deng Ming asked in surprise, and he pointed to the surrounding gentlemen: "Your boss also wants to recruit An, of course you have to accept Zhao'an." However, I have always thought that your master's approach is wrong, the ancients all knew that the 'gold belt of murder and arson', you can't even beat a county seat, why should the Qing court recruit you? If you can even take down Beijing, it will be the turn of the Qing court to cry and shout to recruit you, and will also offer the official positions of governor and governor with both hands. ”
Hearing the position of the governor and governor, several gentlemen involuntarily showed yearning in their eyes, Deng Ming ignored it, and continued to inspire: "The key is to have a hard knife handle!" In this way, others will have to listen to you well, rest assured, as long as you pay, I guarantee a steady stream of instructors and weapons and equipment. ”
Now Deng Ming has basically taken himself out of the chaos in Shandong, if Deng Ming intervenes, no matter how good he does, it is people from other provinces who intervene in Shandong, even if he is embarrassed for the gentry and Jiangyang thieves, then I am afraid that there will be many Shandong people in the nostalgia and say that he is not; As long as there is a robbery, whether it is an impostor or not, whether it is the work of Deng Ming's descendants, most of the people of Shandong will also count the debt on his head. But now it's completely different, whether it's the gentry killing the thief, or the thief robbing Zhuangzi, it has nothing to do with Deng Ming, it is their Shandong people's housework, considering the gentry's public opinion advantage, Deng Ming, who helped the gentry to integrate the army and provide weapons and training, will definitely become an "old friend of the Shandong people".
Now the gentry and knights are indeed worried that the "old friend" will be sad, Gao Yunxuan shouted: "Guogong Bo Yuntian, personally bring troops to Shandong to relieve the siege of our division, as long as Guogong says a word, we will rush to the end with the Tartars." ”
"I won't say such a thing, whether to accept Zhao'an or not is a decision made by your division and the Senate, and I won't use Shandong people as a shield." Deng Mingzheng said solemnly: "Yes, you all know that I came to Shandong to help our army in Jiangnan gain an advantage, but I will not force it, as long as most Shandong people feel that cooperating with me will bring disaster to Shandong, we should get together and disperse." ”
Deng Ming further explained: "As for helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Ming army, it is not a win-win situation to buy arms from me, you get security, and I get friendship." It doesn't matter what the name is, for the Qing court, this is also to give them a step, and all the bosses can say that they are blocked by traitorous ministers, such as the governor of Shandong or the villain around him, so that the heart of serving the country cannot reach the heavens. Of course, the Qing court will not believe it, but when they are unable to suppress you, this is their fig leaf. ”
"What Guogong said is extremely true," another gentleman raised a new question: "But this Fuqing Ming Army was still established with the help of Guogong, how can this be explained?" ”
"I think the Qing court will probably help you explain, but there is a way for good people to do it to the end, so I will help you with this favor." Deng Ming snapped his fingers, and the idea came easily: "This is called 'the strength of the division of the enemy to control the enemy', and it is precisely to help the Qing Dynasty destroy the Ming army and learn from the Ming army in order to better fight the Ming army." ”
On October 23, the first phase of the training of the Fuqing Annihilation Ming Army in Weixian County, Shandong Province was completed, and with the assistance of the Ming Baoguo Gong, the Fuqing Annihilation Ming Army stormed the county seat of Weixian County, which was controlled by the Qing Army, and after blasting the city wall, the Ming Army and the Fuqing Annihilation Ming Army fought side by side (the three walls and the rangers were mainly engaged in the guidance of battlefield communication work), and completely annihilated the Qing Army in the city.
