Chapter 727: The Korean Campaign (9)

After nearly a month of deliberation and active preparations, the Korean Theater Command of the Far Eastern Army issued an announcement to various parts of the DPRK. The second round of the Strike Hard Operation was launched in the hope that the vast number of people in the DPRK who had been persecuted in the past would boldly report and expose it, and even if the bureaucrats and elites did things that hurt nature and reason, the Far East Army would also make decisions for them.

This announcement by the theater command immediately set off stormy waves in various parts of the DPRK. This time, even the poorest people at the bottom of North Korea can see that the sky in North Korea may be about to change.

They ran around to tell each other, and many of the persecuted poor people gathered in the liberation committees of various parts of North Korea, but most of them did not immediately report and expose them. They are still here silently watching.

But the common people of North Korea in this era do not know what Tuo is. Some people in the Far East, who had been arranged in advance, bravely came out one after another and boldly reported and exposed. When the crowd of onlookers heard that the person who was exposed turned out to be many local officials and prominent gentry and landlords, they were all dumbfounded.

They don't have the courage to report them at all, these big people who are high up in the eyes of the North Korean people are god-like existences, and the people at the bottom have an innate fear of them.

However, the liberation committees at all levels really sent militia escorts to arrest these old men who were usually high-minded. Of course, when the arrest was made, there were many Far Eastern officers and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, and if it weren't for this, the militiamen of the escort team really didn't dare to touch them.

Far Eastern companies also make arrest targets based on the information provided by the intelligence services after careful reconnaissance. Therefore, the first batch of people arrested were at least people who were extremely angry with the people, and it was easy to sort out their crimes.

The elites and bureaucrats, gentry and landlords and other upper ruling strata have annexed large tracts of land in the country without having to work at all. Live a life of luxury every day, and you don't have to pay a single tax. Many people are still in the village, bullying others and intensifying the exploitation of the people at the bottom.

At the time of the public trial, a large number of ordinary Koreans arranged by the Far East stepped onto the rostrum. State their guilt and come up with a lot of hard evidence to expose their crimes. Many low-level North Korean people who had been persecuted by them were also infected by others and came to power to bitterly denounce their crimes, making these local officials and prominent gentry and landlords who committed the most heinous crimes become street rats that everyone shouts and beats.

With the final verdict of the public trial meeting, the emotions of the North Korean people who participated in the public trial meeting have been mobilized. People stared at bloodshot eyes and screamed loudly.

"Kill him...... Kill him......"

Huge roar. It could be heard clearly from a distance, and the voice was filled with endless grief and indignation. A violent aura of devastating devastation spread throughout North Korea.

With the execution of a group of officials and gentry landlords who were extremely angry by the local liberation committee, the whole of Korea suddenly boiled, and countless people at the bottom of the Korean people lined up to the local liberation committee to boldly report and expose them, and the militia guards were arresting people everywhere every day. All were captured by the militia of the convoy.

Every time someone is arrested, the convoy militia is followed by a large number of angry civilians. Many bureaucrats and gentry, who had great influence in the local area, originally wanted to resist, but when they saw the dense Korean people and the Far Eastern Army with loaded guns, they could only be captured with their hands tied and did not dare to resist in the slightest.

Because there are so many people who have been arrested. There was no time for a public trial, it was basically a simple investigation and evidence collection, and then a large number of people were gathered to carry out a collective execution. However, as more and more people were arrested, in the end, even the most basic investigation and evidence collection were omitted, and a group of people were simply executed if they were caught. The execution grounds of the liberation committees in various parts of the DPRK are full of corpses every day, and even the sky is filled with a layer of blood.

Although many of them are extremely evil, the vast majority of them are not guilty to death, and many are even innocent. But who cares, anyway, the Far Eastern Company doesn't care, and all this that the company has painstakingly planned in North Korea is not exactly what they want to see.

The whole of North Korea has really changed, and now not only the militia of the escort force wear red turbans, but even the ordinary people at the bottom also have one in their hands, and as far as the eye can see, there is a dazzling red everywhere, like a surging sea of blood rolling and boiling.

The Far East Korean working group did not participate in it, but only drew up various plans for the liberation committees in various places, and all the work was handed over to the liberation committees in various places, and they were also given great powers.

For every person who was arrested, their family members were also taken to concentration camps by the militia of the escort and kept under strict guard. The task of the Far Eastern Army was to confiscate their property, sort out the grain, cloth, gold and silver and other materials from various places, and then pack them and transport them back to Liaodong.

Although the Far Eastern Army did nothing to the local civilians after entering Korea, the first thing it did after occupying major cities was to carry out wartime military control, control all official warehouses and shops, and all the materials were confiscated by the Far Eastern Army, and these materials were all transported away.

The Far Eastern Army, having occupied Korea, did not take action against the gentry and bureaucracy throughout Korea, but took a resigned attitude towards them. The attitude of the Far Eastern Army also relieved the gentry and bureaucracy throughout Korea.

Because they were afraid of the obscenity of the Far Eastern Army, they all chose to forbear for the time being, and secretly connected with each other, waiting for the next move of the Far East. In fact, they were not worried, although the Far East destroyed the Li dynasty, but if they wanted to govern Korea, they could not do without the help of these gentry and bureaucrats. In their eyes, North Korea is just a son of heaven and a courtier, and the Far East Company is also of Chinese blood after all, and they are not unacceptable.

But what happened next was incomprehensible to many of North Korea's elites. The Far East has always ignored them, but mingled with those mud-legged people every day, yelling and shouting at rallies every day, making them look like a bunch of psychopaths. But they didn't take it very seriously, they just thought that the Far East was pretending, as long as it wanted to pinch them.

This group of scholars was also waiting to see the jokes of the Far East, what a bunch of mud-legged people could do, and in the end the Far East still had to beg them in disgrace, and Corporal Lixian had to look at the thatched house three times and invite them, the Korean elite, to go out of the mountain.

But what happened next surprised them. With the second crackdown carried out by the Korean working group in the Far East, a large number of gentry and bureaucrats with unclean butts were arrested and executed by some liberation committee organized by the mud-legged people. Only then did they know that the Far East's intention was to wipe them out completely.

But now it was too late, the Far East Company had already won over the poor masses at the bottom of the Korean army, and without their support, the traditional ruling class of the gentry and bureaucracy was instantly isolated, and they were now powerless even if they wanted to. The whole of Korea has turned into a world of extreme madness, and they know that the end has come for the gentry class, who have ruled Korea for many years. (To be continued......)
