"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 845
When the Dongjiang Province was in chaos due to the melee of various forces, the Jiangbei Province under the control of the Qinghe Army presented another scene of prosperity.
Under the leadership of Chen Ziang, the Qinghe Army has grown into the most powerful rebel army. The Qinghe Army has a weak foundation, but it rose rapidly. They occupied a large area in a short period of time and became a powerful group that all forces dare not underestimate.
Under the governance of the officials appointed by Chen Ziang, these areas occupied by the Qinghe Army actively implemented the New Deal, and have quickly recovered from the war, bursting out with vigor and vitality.
In particular, the economy and trade of Jiangbei Province has developed rapidly, and Yunxi Mansion has become an important business center.
War horses and furs from the north, cloth, grain, and salt from the south, and mountain products from the west can all be found here.
Groups of caravans poured in from all directions, and a large number of refugees who were displaced by the war also poured into Jiangbei Province.
Although other provinces were devastated due to the chaotic conquest by various forces, Chen Zi'ang's Jiangbei province rose up amidst the chaos of war, became a refuge for everyone, and became extremely prosperous.
With the increase in strength, Chen Ziang is also making bigger plans, and the formation of the Rebel Army Alliance is one of his handwriting.
He wanted to integrate the rebel armies in various provinces to form a third powerful force independent of the imperial court and the rebel army.
It's just that the history of the various rebel armies is different. Some are composed of bandits and bandits, some are secretly supported by rich and powerful families, and some are raised by refugees who can't survive.
It can be said that it is quite difficult to integrate the complex insurgents into a single rope.
Fortunately, Chen Ziang was not afraid of difficulties. After repeated negotiations and communication, they reached an agreement with the rebels in the 23 provinces in late October and decided to form a formal alliance of rebels.
The strength of the rebel army in the twenty-three provinces was nearly two million, and they were divided into tens of thousands of numbers.
In addition to the rebel armies in the twenty-three provinces, there are also rebel armies in some provinces who are either far away and unwilling to form an alliance, or are self-sustaining and powerful, and disdain to form an alliance.
Therefore, in the end, Chen Ziang and the others were able to promote the rebel army teams of the alliance, which were all distributed in the 23 provinces of the Far Eastern Dynasty.
According to the final negotiation results, the rebel armies in these 23 provinces will be integrated into 23 legions.
The leader of the rebel army awarded the officers of all levels of the newly formed legion according to the number of troops they belonged to.
Some leaders of the rebel army with strong strength served as the head of the banner, the head of the corps, the head of the army, the representative of the command department and the heads of various departments.
However, some leaders of the weaker rebel army served as generals of hundreds of people, generals of thousands of people, and banner battalion commanders.
The headquarters of the Rebel Army Alliance is composed of a representative elected by each legion, a total of 23 representatives and a commander-in-chief, who has the final veto power.
Because the Qinghe Army occupies most of Jiangbei Province, Jiangnan Province and Yunshan Province, it has three representatives in the command headquarters,
At the same time, Chen Ziang also spent a lot of effort, bribed and threatened, and elected the old commander Chen Ru as the supreme commander of the rebel army.
In late October, the inaugural meeting of the Rebel Army Alliance was officially held in the capital of the Jiangbei Province of the Far East Dynasty.
The leaders of the rebel army from all provinces rushed to Jiangbei Province one after another. In addition to the guards and horses they carried, a large number of people poured into the capital of Jiangbei Province.
The restaurants in the city are overcrowded, so that the villages and towns in the suburbs are full of people, making the provincial capital hustle and bustle, as if it is a festival.
And those merchants in the prefectures and counties of the Jiangbei Province were also moved after hearing the news, not to mention the small merchants and hawkers, they all went to make money one after another.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, the leaders of the rebel army naturally had a lot of money.
Facing the dazzling array of commodities, they also spent a lot of money, but they made those merchants and vendors earn a lot of money.
The venue for the founding of the Rebel Army Alliance was located in the east of the provincial capital, which was originally the base of the Qinghe Army camp.
As the Qinghe Army successively occupied the entire territory of Jiangbei Province, the army camps were also moved to the border area, so this place was left vacant.
After the barracks has been refurbished, it has been built into a stepped venue that can accommodate 100,000 people.
?This is Wu Zhenrui, the richest man in Jiangbei province, according to Chen Zi.?? It was built with blueprints designed by myself, which is the only case in the Far Eastern Dynasty.
"Marshal, this is all built according to your drawings, and it can accommodate 100,000 people."
Chen Ziang personally inspected this venue before the meeting, and the richest man Wu Zhenrui was also personally accompanying him.
The former son of a squire's property has spread all over the provinces under the rule of the Qinghe Army, and there are as many as 50,000 to 60,000 people who work for him, and he has become an existence that people look up to.
But Wu Zhenrui knew that Chen Ziang and the Qinghe Army gave him all of this. He could put on airs in front of others, but in front of Chen Ziang, he was still humble and respectful.
"Not bad, it's almost the same as what I designed."
Seeing this spacious and magnificent stepped venue, Chen Ziang couldn't help but nodded.
Although Wu Zhenrui was born as a squire, he did not have some of the bad habits of squires. He was not only humble and polite, but also never violated Chen Ziang's orders, and had a strong ability to implement them.
One side of the stepped venue is a high platform, and the other three sides are steps. The advantage of this venue is that everyone has a wide view.
This time, Chen Ziang spent a lot of money to let Wu Zhenrui build such a large venue. In addition to the needs of the rebel alliance this time, it can still be used for large-scale events in the future.
"Marshal, this cement is really a good thing. After being shaped, it is comparable to a solid rock. It is not afraid of wind, sun, rain or rain. Now the venue is built with cement, and it is estimated that it can be passed down to future generations."
Wu Zhenrui couldn't help but praise Chen Ziang when he saw Chen Ziang touching the concrete steps on which the venue was built.
When Chen Ziang asked him to do this, Wu Zhenrui didn't believe that there was such a thing in the world.
It wasn't until he made the cement according to what Chen Ziang said that he realized that he was ignorant, so he admired Chen Ziang even more.
"Although this thing is hard, it is too exaggerated to pass it on to future generations. It also has a limited number of years." Chen Ziang said with a smile.
"I gave you this cement formula. You have to increase the output for me as soon as possible. We will use this in all our new houses in the future."
Chen Ziang almost broke his head trying to recall the cement formula, and after countless trials, he managed to get the cement out.
For this era, cement is simply a fetish, and there are simply too many places where it can be used.
If cement is used to build city walls and houses, the firmness and service life will be greatly improved.
"Marshal, you mean to use cement to build houses?"
Wu Zhenrui was also taken aback when he heard Chen Ziang's words.
"Yes." Chen Ziang nodded.
"Marshal, where do you want to build it, I will repair it for you when I get back."
Thinking of the cement being so strong after it solidified, Wu Zhenrui also thought it was a good idea to repair the house, and immediately expressed his intention to repair it for Chen Ziang.
"This is not for me to repair, but to repair the house later and sell it to make money."
"Think about it, the houses built with this thing are durable and much better than thatched houses. We must vigorously promote houses made of cement bricks in the future, and many people will definitely buy them."
Chen Ziang knew very well in his heart that there would definitely be a lot of wealthy merchants under his rule in the future, and those who made great achievements would also have money to spend.
If they come up with villas built of masonry and cement in the future, they will definitely be willing to buy them, and if they get some other novelties, their money will have a place to go.
The general sentence is to invigorate the economy so that their money can flow into the economic field, instead of buying land in large quantities in the traditional way, forming landlords one by one, leaving the people without land to cultivate. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
