Chapter 0150 Wealth is moving
When studying historical events, the original time and space often pay attention to their political significance, revolution, or so on, but mature theories have long proved that politics is the concentrated expression of the economy, and the root of all political activities, propositions, and organizations lies in the economy and economic interests. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The antagonism of the info class is, to put it bluntly, an irreconcilable economic interest.
Politics, on the other hand, is nothing more than a means to safeguard economic interests. If a political position or power does not bring economic benefits to oneself or one's own group, then such status or power is the existence of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.
Shandong Zhili boxers were organized on a large scale, on the surface it was a villager self-protection organization, but the organizers had the goal of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming", and later with the change of the situation, the purpose of the boxers organization changed from "anti-Qing and Mingming" to "supporting the Qing and destroying the foreign", which shows that although its political proposition is clear, it is not clear, to put it bluntly, they themselves do not know what they want to do.
However, no social organization is a god, and it must eat the fireworks of the world. You have to organize the nearby villagers, you must have a certain attraction to the villagers, the people of the Dragon Country are the most realistic, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter eagles, and no one does empty talk. Of course, the revolutionary nature of the extreme poverty class is very firm, but in order to organize the extreme poverty class, the first thing to solve is to eat three meals a day, if they follow you hungry, they can still fool around for three or two days, and after a long time they will be completely revealed.
So, where does the financial source of the boxer organization come from? The simplest expression is "eating big" or "apportionment". Eating a large household is to go to a large household to fight the autumn breeze, and apportionment is to give money and food according to the household, not to give? The consequences of not giving are severe.
Therefore, in an area where boxers are in trouble, if there is a cargo team on a certain road, and there is no other boxer organization similar to trust, then your cargo team may be smashed and burned as "foreign goods".
Speaking of which, this boxer organization is roughly the same as the bandits, except that most of the bandits occupy the mountains, while the boxers organize the villages.
But on the whole, unless there is a special force behind them, the economic situation of most boxing organizations is quite bad. After all, the Jianghu organizations of the Dragon Kingdom have the habit of "drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat in a big piece", even if they have a lot of money in their hands, they can't stand up to a few days.
In this context, one day, Laiwu was occupied by the Mengyin bandits, and the boxers organization was dispersed, which made the boxers organization in the border area of Yimeng District very unhappy, Nima, this is not a posture for me to live!
However, they can only be unhappy, or secretly scold a few times, they really want to run into the area occupied by the Mengshan army to make trouble, they don't have the courage, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court have been wiped out by the Mengshan army, and I have a big fist organization, but I may not dare to confront the hundreds of thousands of imperial army of the imperial court.
Therefore, the organization of the Boxer Fist is generally very ignorant, and it even believes that God is "invulnerable" as proof; But in some small links, they have the cunning and intelligence of the traditional farmers of the Dragon Kingdom.
Perhaps, they are invulnerable, but in the face of bright bayonets, they are still weak-hearted. Because when they practice on their own, they may be fine with a knife, but when it comes to stabbing with a knife, they generally don't dare.
If the boxers get along with Mengshan Jun according to this mentality, maybe everyone will be safe in a year or two.
But I don't know when, a large number of white rice, white flour and a large number of foreign goods began to appear in the Boshan area, the kind of foreign fire that ignites at a stroke, it only costs two pennies a box, Nima is not too cheap, okay. Although these foreign goods and foreign goods are opposed by the boxing organization, who can withstand the temptation of white rice and white noodles, plus these rice and foreign goods, there are "road guides" issued by the brother boxing organization, the boxers in the world are one family, you can't rob your family's things, if you want to rob, go and rob the foreigners.
At about this time, a news began to circulate among the boxers, saying that these foreign goods and foreign goods all came from the villages in Laiwu, and, in addition to these things, in the villages in Laiwu, each village has an average of 10 foreign guns, that thing, although I can't use the big fists, but I can sell them, each gun can be sold for at least 50 taels of silver, if you grab 10 foreign guns at one time, it is equivalent to getting 500 taels of silver, which is for the boxers organization, I'm afraid I can solve the expenses for a considerable period of time.
Wealth moves people's hearts, and this is the case. And because of the big victory, how could Xu Lie notice the evil intentions from the boxers or from the peasant organizations.
Of course, rumors are just rumors, if you start to act on this, then these boxers are too bad, for the ancient military strategy of the Dragon Kingdom, these boxing circles are responsible for military divisions, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, a hundred battles will not be defeated.
Therefore, before they act, they have to send someone to find out the news.
On this issue, Xu Lie made another mistake, and even since Xu Lie crossed over, he has been very blind and confident, and he has hardly taken any action on how to prevent people with ulterior motives from engaging in intelligence in the occupied area. Even after Wang Qinian was activated, Xu Lie did not have any special restrictions on others entering the control area, but they were not allowed to carry weapons into the control area. Even some people who are obviously engaged in intelligence investigations, Xu Lie also let them go.
Xu Lie's idea was to show the best side of the area under his control, the people had something to do, food, clothing, and children to school, so as to attract more people to join Xu Lie's team. Because of this, Xu Lie almost allowed people to come and go at will.
Because of this, Xu Lie's requirements for Wang Qinian in the early stage were to poach talents from all over the country, especially Jiangnan, and to infiltrate all aspects of Shandong, Zhili and the imperial court.
Perhaps, although Xu Lie is a special soldier and has been born and died on the battlefield for a long time, he is a peacetime person after all, and he despises the complexity of society and class in the late Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, the people sent by the boxing circle, in the way of visiting relatives, quickly inquired about the situation of the three nearest villages. Each village has set up a militia team, there is a Mengshan army in charge of training, and each village also has a material warehouse, and the contents of the material warehouse are estimated to be white flour, ammunition and the like. In Gaocun Town, more than ten miles away, it is said that Meng Shanjun opened a large shopping mall, the size of three stores, all kinds of foreign goods and foreign goods, it is said that there is a large warehouse in the shopping mall, and the materials in the warehouse are piled up.
