On the day of the alliance of the princes of the Eighteenth Road, when Xiao Lan launched the Taiping Army uprising, the 200,000 Taiping troops swept across the land of Qingzhou like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. ^Basket/Color/Book/Bar,. LanｓeshuBa.ｃOm

Although the Taiping Army had strict military orders, at the time of the uprising, it was still inevitable that there were still many soldiers who violated the military regulations.

It is not allowed to disturb the people, it is not allowed to kill innocents, for ordinary people, this is simply an army that has never been seen before, as for those rich officials and even the family of gate lords, the Taiping army is a nightmare for them.

In the area occupied by the Taiping army, Xiao Lan did not hesitate to implement the policy of fighting local tyrants and dividing land, those corrupt officials and gentry bullies who committed many unrighteous acts, their hands were stained with the blood of the people, and they squeezed the blood and sweat of the people, and there was no reason not to strip them and kill them.

In just a few days, the name of Pingtian Generalissimo Xiao Lan is already known to everyone in Qingzhou. In the hearts of the people, he is a hero who saves the needy, and in the eyes of the official family, he is a devil butcher who kills people without blinking, and many wealthy families have begun to organize people and horses to prepare to counterattack the Taiping army.

However, Xiao Lan had already prepared for this, and before the full-scale uprising, he had already ordered that the rebel armies everywhere should concentrate elite troops to carry out devastating blows against the official army of Qingzhou and the private soldiers of the wealthy clans, and destroy the enemy's living forces.

As for Xiao Lan's words, the Taiping army strictly abided by them, so as soon as the uprising was launched, the Taiping army launched several major battles against the official army, defeating the main force of the Qingzhou official army, so that when the official army reacted and wanted to counterattack, they could no longer muster the strength to counterattack, so they could only shrink their forces and hold on in various cities.

After the bloody experience of the uprising, the Taiping Army's combat strength increased greatly, coupled with Xiao Lan's command, Leling County, Le'an County, Chengyang County, Pingyuan County, Jinan Kingdom, Beihai County, and Donglai County were completely captured one after another, and only the state capital Qi County was still resisting. Zhou Cang Liaohua led 20,000 troops, and he attacked for several days!

When Xiao Lan heard this, he personally led 30,000 troops while arranging for people to count the land population of Qingzhou. Straight to Qi County, when it was, tens of thousands of troops surrounded the city of Qi County, Xiao Lan broke the city gate with a blow of carving dragon gold seal, and the city was down. Since then, the entire territory of Qingzhou has fallen into the hands of the Taiping Army.

After taking possession of Qingzhou, Xiao Lan did not rush to expand, but stepped up the governance of Qingzhou, and the scholars entrenched in various parts of Qingzhou became the primary target for him to eliminate.

It is said that this scholar class sprouted in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is also one of the important reasons for the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The nobles possessed strong economic power and held policy privileges, and were the pillars on which imperial power was built and consolidated. This comes from the great power of the scholars. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the scholars were economically "connected to the Fang country", and "thousands of slaves and maids were attached to thousands of schemes". In other words, the nobles held a large amount of land, and the people of the land had to listen to them.

In politics, it is even more "tired of classics", "tired of the princess", and even Yuan Shao, a prominent family of "four generations and three dukes", and enjoys the privilege of being exempted from servitude in fact.

These powers reached their peak in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, after the Eastern Han officials came to power. The nobles who hold the authority are more likely to seek the welfare of their own families. A large number of people's lands were annexed by them. They don't have to pay taxes, the land is theirs. Naturally, the imperial court ran out of money. They were even more ruthless than the imperial court, completely ignoring the law, and killing and plundering the people of the land at will, which caused many peasant uprisings.

The scholar system is the most prominent political feature throughout the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, and it is also a manifestation of the darkness of the political law of the Western Jin Dynasty. Because the scholars sucked blood on a large scale, they were rich enough to rival the country but selfish. As a result, the imperial court had no money and grain to build national defense. Naturally, the Wuhu Chaos began.

The heyday of the Shi clan can be said to be the dark period of China, and there was no strong performance at the national level.

This clan of scholars is not good for the ruler in every way. However, the rulers were born from the nobles, and their interests were intertwined, making it impossible for them to attack the nobles.

But Xiao Lan is different, he comes from the origin world, the ideology and theory of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" is mature, and secondly, he is not inextricably linked with the Shi clan, as the leader of a peasant rebel army, he is very clear about his position, the people of the world are his foundation, and the Shi clan gate lord is undoubtedly his enemy.

He does not have the background of the fourth and third princes, nor does he have the background of the gate valve family, as a thief, he can get zero help in the Shi clan gate valve, so only by implementing the liberation policy, standing on the opposite side of the Shi clan gate valve, returning the land to the people, and winning the support of the people, can he gain the power that other princes cannot obtain on the road to hegemony in the future.

The strength of the people is absolutely beyond imagination, at least, in Xiao Lan's cognition, he clearly knows that all the changes of dynasty in history started with the peasants, and the Yellow Turban Uprising in the Three Kingdoms era was only because there was no correct leadership, if not, it was enough to destroy the Eastern Han Dynasty.

He personally issued a decree to count the population of Qingzhou, confiscate the land of the scholars, and distribute it to the landless or landless peasants to cultivate, and at the same time give the scholars what they should have gotten and let them cultivate by themselves.

With the support of Brilliant No. 1 intelligence, he clearly stipulated the principles and methods of confiscation, expropriation and distribution of land, at the beginning, the people would still be skeptical, but with the gradual implementation of the policy, the people got the land deed, obtained tangible benefits, they have responded, and it was in full swing for a while.

Xiao Lan knew very well the reasons for his success, firstly, after several years of wreak havoc in the Yellow Turbans, the number of scholars in Qingzhou had greatly decreased, secondly, the Taiping Army had more than 200,000 troops as the backing, and thirdly, with the detailed statistics and calculations of the Brilliant No. 1, the reform movement naturally proceeded very smoothly.

With the gradual implementation of the policy, the people were naturally very enthusiastic about Xiao Lan, and for a while, Xiao Lan won the hearts of the people in the entire Qingzhou, but at the same time, the scholars in Qingzhou were full of resentment.

The Tian family, the largest scholar clan in Qingzhou, lives in Licheng County, their family, almost controls eighty percent of the land in Licheng County, and is the actual controller of Licheng County.

Due to the rampant Yellow Turbans, coupled with the killing of Xiao Lan when he captured Qingzhou, and the land reform that was being implemented, there are not many remnants of the scholars, only less than thirty, but don't underestimate these thirty families, they have mastered half of the land in Qingzhou.

Moreover, not only that, but each of them had private soldiers, as few as hundreds of people, as many as several thousand, such as the Tian family, the convener of this gathering, who had more than 6,000 private soldiers.

These soldiers came from tenants who had cultivated their land for generations, were required to serve as a conscription of the noble clan, and were forcibly enlisted when needed.

"The damned Taiping Army's idea of wanting to attack our lands is undoubtedly forcing us to a dead end!"

"Yes, how can the land of the ancestors be easily given away, I can see that the so-called Taiping Army is the previous Yellow Turban Thief!"

Well, the fact is that the Taiping Army under Xiao Lan was originally a reappearance of the Yellow Turban Army, but Xiao Lan is much taller than Zhang Jiaolai, whether it is advanced ideological rule or regular military preparation, it will bring earth-shaking changes to this era.

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Tian Xin, the head of the Tian family, immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Okay, since you all have understood the current situation, please go back and gather the family soldiers immediately, since we were able to resist the invasion of the Yellow Turban Thieves back then, we can naturally resist the Taiping Thieves now!" ”

"No!" The major clans returned to their families one after another, gathered their family soldiers, and went to Licheng County to gather, and in just a few days, no less than 40,000 or 50,000 troops gathered in this county.

When Xiao Lan got the news, he couldn't help but be surprised, when he captured Qingzhou, the number of regular officers and soldiers he encountered was only this number, I have to say that the power of the Shi clan gate lord is really amazing!

However, Xiao Lan did not have the slightest fear, and immediately ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses, with Zhou Cang and Liao Hua as generals, and personally came to Licheng County......... To be continued. ~Search the basket color * book bar, you can read the following chapters in full
