This time, Liu Qinglin's heart also has a bottom, don't look at the large number of the Eight Banners garrison, the fierce situation, but it is just a group of rabble, there are no rules and tactics, and there is no morale, so it is not as good as the Boxers, at least the Boxers are not afraid of death. Therefore, after the retreat of the Eight Banners garrison, Liu Qinglin immediately ordered to launch a fire attack on the positions of the Eight Banners garrison.

This People's Army is only equipped with rifles, not even machine guns, so it is far inferior to the Eight Banners Garrison in terms of firepower, but through the battle just now, the People's Army has basically figured out the distribution of the positions of the Eight Banners Garrison, and the firepower of the Eight Banners Garrison is scattered, and there is no accuracy, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Therefore, the People's Army concentrated its firepower and continuously attacked the positions of the Eight Banners garrison, and sure enough, the Eight Banners garrison could not raise its head, and many casualties were inflicted.

Seeing this, Wen Rui did not dare to hold on any longer, so he hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and retreated 3 or 4 miles, away from the range of the rifles of the People's Army, before stopping. And it was in this day's battle that the Eight Banners garrison lost nearly 100 people and nearly 100 wounded, and Wen Rui knew that the overseas Chinese army was really not easy to mess with.

The next day, the people's armies from other places also rushed back one after another, but at this time, Liu Qinglin was not in a hurry to join forces, but planned to make a bigger operation, so he immediately ordered the troops that returned to support to be stationed near Qiangou Zhuang Huan in a company, and when all the troops arrived, they would encircle and attack at a time, and completely defeat the Eight Banners garrison in one fell swoop.

However, before the People's Army could prepare for a joint attack, the Eight Banners garrison took the initiative to withdraw. It turned out that on this day's battle, the Eight Banners garrison finally understood the combat effectiveness of the People's Army, and most of the soldiers were unwilling to fight anymore, after all, the vast majority of people were originally ordinary people, and they came together only for the three coins of silver given by Wen Rui, and the promised property of overseas Chinese can be used at will, of course, there are also many people who have already done a good job after beating overseas Chinese, and then make a big profit in the nearby villages.

But after the fight, I realized that overseas Chinese were not easy to deal with, not to mention that they couldn't grab it, and if they really fought hard, they wouldn't even be able to save their lives. Besides, the overseas Chinese did not rob their own Shitian, so why should they play with their lives? As a result, many soldiers clamored and demanded that Wen Rui withdraw his troops, and insisted on not attacking Qiangouzhuang again.

In the face of the wavering of the army's heart, Wen Rui had no choice, so he had to comply with the wishes of the soldiers and withdraw the army back to the city.

Liu Qinglin really didn't expect that the Eight Banners garrison would be so anticlimactic, and he would withdraw after touching a nail, and his plan to encircle him also failed, but Liu Qinglin was not willing to let the Eight Banners garrison run away like this, so he immediately ordered all troops to pursue the Eight Banners garrison. As a result, the People's Army chased after it fiercely, and sure enough, it caught up with the Eight Banners garrison, and then covered up for a while, and immediately defeated the Eight Banners garrison, and only captured more than 300 people. But after all, it was not able to block and annihilate the garrison of the Eight Banners.

However, despite the repulsion of the Eight Banners garrison, the Land Reform Committee did not dare to be careless, and what should be done if the Eight Banners garrison came back again? Although it is said that the Eight Banners garrison has no combat effectiveness, after all, it is a large number of people, and of course the People's Army is not afraid of joining forces, but if it is still scattered as before, it will be difficult to preserve it, but the work of land reform in various localities must not be stopped, otherwise all the work done in front of it will be wasted.

In the end, it was decided that the land reform work would continue as usual, but the People's Army should strengthen the vigilance of the nearby areas, and the land reform teams would not stay overnight in the villages, and they must rush back to Qiangouzhuang before the evening, and as soon as there was a disturbance, they would evacuate as soon as possible, but some villages that were too far away to rush back that day could only suspend the land reform work.

Despite this, the land reform work has also had a great impact, and various rumors have circulated in the nearby villages, saying that the imperial court has sent troops to exterminate the overseas Chinese, so they have no longer grown, and the land they have robbed will be recovered, and those who have accepted the land allocated by the overseas Chinese will be punished by the imperial court, etc., and the land reform is being carried out, and the people in the villages who have completed the land reform are panicking, not only afraid that the land they have just been allocated will be lost, but also afraid that they will be implicated in a lawsuit.

Although the agrarian reform groups have resumed their work and have repeatedly claimed that the Baqi garrison has been defeated by the People's Army, they still cannot relieve the scruples in the hearts of the villagers, because after all, the agrarian reform groups used to live in various villages, but now they come late and leave early, so who can dare to believe what the agrarian reform groups say? Some villagers have refused to accept the land allocated to them, and a few timid villagers even want to return the land allocated to them. Moreover, some of the former landlords also became emboldened, and although they did not dare to openly resist, they were quite unkind to the land reform group between their words, and even some threatening words appeared. In those villages where land reform has been suspended, the situation is even worse.

Liu Chengping couldn't help but worry that the land reform in Qingzhou would not be able to be carried out in this way, but now he has no good way, and it is already very risky to let the land reform teams resume their work, if they are still allowed to stay in the villages for the night, if something really happens, he will not be able to bear this responsibility. Only by waiting for the Qingdao support troops to arrive as soon as possible and completely relieving the worries of the Eight Banners garrison can the villages regain their confidence in the land reform team. It wasn't until Luo Yue led the troops into Qiangou Village that Liu Chengping breathed a sigh of relief.

After understanding these situations, Luo Yue also calmed down a lot, and it seemed that the situation in Qingzhou was not so bad that it was there. As long as he defeats the Eight Banners garrison in Qingzhou, he can completely reverse the situation in Qingzhou, so Luo Yue asked about Qingzhou City and the situation in Mancheng, but Liu Chengping didn't know about it, and at this moment, two people found Qiangou Zhuang, who turned out to be the outside personnel of the Ministry of Security in Qingzhou City.

Although the East China Government does not yet have complete control over the entire territory of Shandong, the Ministry of Security has already taken the lead and has set up bases in all major cities of Shandong and arranged personnel to try to understand the affairs of various localities as soon as possible. Therefore, as soon as there was an accident in Qingzhou, the Ministry of Security immediately contacted the outside personnel in Qingzhou and asked them to fully cooperate with the actions of the People's Army.

Luo Yue immediately met with these two people, and asked about the current situation of the Eight Banners garrison, and the two of them also inquired about the ins and outs of this incident in Qingzhou at this time, of course, they could not know that this was the result of Feng Ruqi's instigation, but the interests of the Manchurians were the most fundamental reason for the land change. And the two also told Luo Yue an important news, now that Qingzhou City is in chaos, the Eight Banners garrison is wantonly robbing and plundering in Qingzhou City.

It turned out that when the army withdrew, it was pursued by the People's Army, and although the Eight Banners garrison escaped, the losses also exceeded 1,000 people. And the soldiers also have a lot of complaints about Wen Rui, blaming Wen Rui for not messing with overseas Chinese, and causing trouble to lose troops and dismantle generals. And Wen Rui was also quite worried at this time, although it was said that the solution was to make the matter bigger, only to see the loss of nearly a thousand Manchurians, the imperial court must no longer stand idly by, it must meddle in the affairs of Shandong and curb overseas Chinese. However, it also aroused the resentment of the soldiers, and if they went back to the city like this, they would definitely not be able to give an explanation, even the families of the dead soldiers would not let them go, so they had to find a way to resolve the resentment of the soldiers.

Wen Rui knew that it was very simple to resolve the grievances of the soldiers, that is, to let the soldiers find a place to loot on a large scale, so that each soldier could make a fortune, and after he went back, he could also compensate the families of the dead soldiers, so that he could deal with the past, and the only place that could let the 3 and 4000 Eight Banners garrison loot was Qingzhou City. And Wen Ruidao has no scruples about this, because he is a garrison of the Eight Banners, and looting a place is not a big deal in this era.

So as soon as Wen Rui told the soldiers his idea, he immediately won the unanimous approval of the soldiers, so Wen Rui immediately led the men and horses to Qingzhou City. Wen Rui personally opened the city gate, and then led the soldiers into Qingzhou City, and the Eight Banners garrison immediately dispersed into various squads and looted everywhere in Qingzhou City.

Although Qingzhou is not a big city like Jinan, but after all, it is a state-level city, and there are many shops, trades, and trading houses in the city, and this time it is all bad. Therefore, many residents of Qingzhou City died in the rebellion.

Originally, Wen Rui just wanted to grab a handful and leave, but once the army was released, it was not easy to collect Longlong, and the soldiers also knew that there were not many such opportunities, so it was a little more to grab a little more, and some people even planned to quit their errands when they went back after finishing this vote, and they could live a small business or something. There were also soldiers who robbed a lot of gold and silver and property, and then robbed people, and harmed many women.

And Feng Ruqi, the prefect of Qingzhou, has been paying attention to the movements of the Eight Banners garrison, knowing that they have suffered a big loss from the overseas Chinese, and there is still some schadenfreude in his heart, finally giving these Manchus a lesson, and the overseas Chinese may not be able to get rid of it this time, and the imperial court will definitely come forward to take care of the overseas Chinese and let them restrain themselves. Knowing that the garrison of the Eight Banners competed to grab Qingzhou City, Feng Ruqi couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and at the same time regretted it in his heart, he knew that this was the case, and he shouldn't have instigated Wen Rui to provoke overseas Chinese, but they couldn't beat the overseas Chinese, but they used Qingzhou City to vent their anger, which really lifted a stone and shot themselves in the foot.

However, Wen Rui was a little measured, and it was not a big deal to grab the people, but he couldn't move the local officials, so he also tried his best to restrain the soldiers and try to stay away from the prefect's yamen, so that Feng Ruqi could be spared.
