For Lin Haifeng, it was as if the war was really over. Lin Haifeng seemed to have forgotten the Qing army in Jiading and Baoshan City, and was concentrating on the local affairs of Shanghai.

The Shanghai Special Military Control Commission was established, and he personally served as director of the Military Control Commission. In his plan to report to Tianjing, the old city of Shanghai County was redivided into four urban districts, east, west, north and south, and the seven counties and one hall in the surrounding areas, namely Baoshan, Qingpu, Jiading, Nanhui, Songjiang, Fengxian, Chongming, and Chuansha, were all changed into districts, plus the newly built alien districts, all of which were under the jurisdiction of the new Shanghai.

At the same time as allocating administrative guidance officials from various districts, the Navy Management Committee organized a large number of work teams to go deep into the villages and begin a vigorous land reform in accordance with the "Outline of the Land Law" promulgated by the Celestial Empire. Village and township peasant associations have been established one after another, and the former mud-footed poles have now become the "officials" of the district government.

The peasants got up, the peasants turned over, and the local tyrants and inferior gentry naturally did not have a good life. After the bitter meetings again and again, there were always batches of local tyrants and gentry who were enemies of the Celestial Empire or who were very angry with the people were ruthlessly suppressed, and the many peasants who had long lost their fields finally had a piece of land of their own.

The antagonism of classes will eventually result in mutual annihilation. Lin Haifeng deeply knows that in today's world, classes are not artificially demarcated, they are the products of thousands of years of society. One can say that people are divided into several classes, noble and lowly, but no one says "propertied class" and "proletariat".

Jiangnan is rich, but the land monopoly for many years has long left a large number of peasants without land to cultivate, and land has accumulated in the hands of a small number of big landlords. The implementation of the "Outline of the Land Law" has not only won the support and welcome of the vast number of poor peasants, but has also made those small and medium-sized landlords who have been oppressed by the big and wealthy families angry with bad breath.

Since it is a struggle, it is cruel, and there is even a suspicion of expansion. In some localities, there have already been excesses against some landlords whose crimes are not very serious, and whenever someone takes the lead in shouting and beating them at the rally, the landlords on the earthen platforms will be violently beaten, beaten badly, and even killed.

Lin Haifeng began to educate guidance officials at all levels not to instigate the expansion of the struggle, and he also put forward demands to governments at all levels and the peasant cooperatives not to expand the struggle. However, he turned a blind eye to this tendency that occurred one after another. Who can be blamed for this? For thousands of years, poor peasants who have faced the loess with their backs to the sky, lived at the bottom of society, and were never treated as human beings, finally had the right to speak, how could they not vent? "The peasant brothers have just come to some realization, and it is inevitable that the means will be a little more intense. Hehe, everyone should guide correctly. For a few days, it became almost his mantra.

No one knows what he really thinks in his heart, because no one has his kind of understanding of society. Lin Haifeng has always held a belief that when dealing with class enemies, he must be as cruel and ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and not give them any chance to counterattack. Even characters such as Ma Xiaobraid written by Haoran in "Sunny Day" should not be left. When it should be ruthless, it should be ruthless, and the spontaneous and voluntary behavior of the peasants, who can say more? It's better than doing some special cleanup later. As for the united front, it's a matter of time and time.

Only the Qing officers and soldiers who were sitting in the cities of Jiading and Baoshan knew that no one would forget them at all. With the progress of land reform, groups of poor people joined the ranks of besieging the city, especially the people near Jiading and Baoshan, who were even more enthusiastic. They didn't want the Qing army to stay here any longer, and they now knew that only by getting rid of these scum could they get their fair share of the land like other places, and they could live a quiet life.

The officers and soldiers in the two cities seemed to be shackled around their necks by a huge chain, and they tightened more and more.

Huang Zaixing now not only has to undertake the daily work of the headquarters of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, but also is responsible for the overall command and coordination of the Jiading and Baoshan fronts. If it weren't for Ji Wenyuan, the head of the logistics department, who arrived in Shanghai, I am afraid that he would have more burden on his shoulders.

Twenty days passed in a flash, and nearly 100,000 heavenly troops and peasant troops from the four townships, as well as the people who came spontaneously, had already surrounded the two cities. Under the huge political offensive and psychological pressure, many Qing troops in the two cities began to flee from the city one after another and surrender to the heavenly army.

According to the information available from all quarters, the Qing troops in the two cities that are really capable of fighting are now less than 6,000 at full capacity, and their food and ammunition are becoming increasingly insufficient, and their morale is low. On the other hand, the Heavenly Army, after resting on the spot, is not only strong and strong, but also has high morale. Huang Zaixing has long been determined to take down these two isolated islands floating in the land of the Celestial Empire, so as to create a stable environment for the development of the Shanghai area. Unexpectedly, after several inquiries, His Royal Highness King An's reply turned out to be not in a hurry, wait and see.

Huang Zaixing was at a loss.

He didn't understand, in the face of such a powerful opponent at the beginning, King An dared to use fierce tactics such as luring, splitting, and boldly outflanking, until he rushed to the concession and took down the enemy's head organ in one fell swoop, and now he has such a big advantage, why did His Highness calm down?

What's more, in the direction of Hangzhou, although Lin Fengxiang won the victory in the West Lake Water Battle and severely damaged the Manchurian Eight Banners, because the Celestial Army only formed a half-wall encirclement of Hangzhou from north to south, reinforcements from all over the Qing army were able to pour into the city one after another. Attacking the fortification is obviously not good for the Celestial Army, for this reason, Lin Fengxiang has turned to the defense, and without the reinforcement of more new forces, it will be difficult to take Hangzhou as much as possible.

After consulting with Zeng Shuiyuan, Li Xianchi and other front-line commanders, Huang Zaixing decided to ask King An again to launch a general attack on Jiading and Baoshan.

Lin Haifeng is very busy, he not only has to formulate and guide the specific implementation of various policies, but also plan for the overall development of Shanghai in the future. Fortunately, he has an excellent assistant, that is Liu Lichuan. This man, who was born as a peasant in Xiangshan (now Zhongshan City) in Guangdong, not only practiced martial arts since he was a child, but also practiced good skills, but also could speak English. Because he used to be a broker in a shopping mall and a clerk in a silk tea shop, and he knew a little about medicine, worked as a herbalist, and specialized in orthopedic miscellaneous diseases, he not only had a high prestige among the toiling masses, but also was handy for Shanghai's economic recovery. This relieved Lin Haifeng of a lot of pressure, and gave him more time and energy to think about ideological things, as well as military strategy.

From the beginning of Zhenjiang, Lin Haifeng has gradually implemented his propaganda strategy. Although the Celestial Army and the localities have retained the previous practice of "reasoning" once a week, what they really talk about is what has been cut off from the end of the original Heavenly Rules, that is, the simple doctrines he compiled. With the development of the form, the simple doctrine of the growing Eastern Crusade Army became more and more unsuitable. The army cannot be without ideas, and an army without ideas cannot become a division of steel.

In this regard, Liu Lichuan's Shanghai power has given great help. Liu Lichuan's forces were originally the products of the Heaven and Earth Society, and they were not the same as the beliefs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Since most of them are from Guangdong and Fujian, they have an unforgettable hatred for foreigners, and when they say it to God, they are naturally not very cold. So, on the pretext of unifying his thoughts, Lin Haifeng once again adopted the method of stealing beams and changing pillars to recite crooked scriptures.

"In a certain sense, there is a rationality in opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. However, it has lost its relevance at the moment. The Ming Dynasty has long been a history that the common people have forgotten, and relying on this slogan cannot inspire the will of the majority of the people. What's more, do we still want to restore the Zhu family world in the Ming Dynasty? This is contrary to the teachings of the Heavenly King. So, he said this to Liu Lichuan and other Shanghai generals......
