Chapter 145: Embracing Fujian on the Left and Zhejiang on the Right (I)

"Husband, Sister Erniang has sent news, she said that he annihilated the personal army led by Wang Yide, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and completely defeated the personal army of Wang Yide, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, at the cost of five killed and fourteen wounded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWang Yide's own troops have all surrendered. Among them, we selected some people to be incorporated into the army of Erniang's sister in Fujian. The others who were unwilling to join, we gave two taels of silver to let them leave according to the advice. ”

As a result, 4,000 of them were willing to stay, and another 1,000 were sent away. Actually, husband, I think why is it necessary? In fact, we directly forcibly co-opted, isn't this also completely okay? Anyway, these Qing troops don't have any ideas that are very loyal to the Manchu court, we can directly incorporate them, isn't that okay? ”

Chen Dingtian explained: "Actually, I wanted to do this at first, but then I thought we should not be reluctant. After all, the twisted melon is not sweet, and since they are unwilling to join, then we are not reluctant. Because if we force these strong men in, then on the surface we are outnumbered and powerful. But if they are not consciously voluntary, I am afraid that they will not contribute to the palace. So just let them choose for themselves and not forcibly co-opt them. And giving them two taels of silver is actually not too much, if we can let these people disperse, it can improve our reputation. ”

"You must know that most of these rebels will be demonized by these imperial courts. For example, he will say that he will kill people when he sees them, and even what is green-faced and fanged. Deliberately demonizing to discredit them, and by publicizing that our men will be killed when they are captured, so that their soldiers will fight desperately. As for the fact that we gave two taels of silver to go back, so that after they, the former Qing army, went back, it would be tantamount to destroying this so-called rumor. After these captives go back, they will also consciously or unconsciously help us to publicize, and our benefits are huge. In this way, we can easily break the will of the Qing army to resist, let them know that we are not going to kill everything, and even if we are not willing to join, we will not force it. Even two taels of silver were issued, which was not too little, almost a month's military salary. ”

"But these money will not be lost, because they alone will lead and influence many people around them and change others' impression of us. It can even make those confused Qing troops take the initiative to surrender. Especially now that we have just killed the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the Qing army in Fujian and Zhejiang will be confused as if they have no backbone. At this time, their impression of our rebel army has been improved, and they will all have a good impression, and there will be many people who have a good impression of us. ”

Of course, Chen Dingtian knows that if he wants to change his image, of course he must know how to advertise, and advertising naturally has to be willing to invest costs. As a copyist, he also serves as a translator, and he is also responsible for translating many foreign classic advertising words. Advertising words are simple and simple, but difficult to say. If you translate the words one by one, it will definitely not work, and the translation of this thing must be adjusted according to the language and customs of the other party's country. Therefore, he has also undertaken a lot of work in translating advertising words, and he naturally knows that this advertisement costs money.

Knowing how to propagandize is also a knowledge, and if you do a good job of propagating a soldier who surrenders without a fight, you can even turn enemies into friends. This old tactic of the year, this is also very useful. Whatever the way, if you can win the war, that's a good way.

"In this case, the Manchu governor of Fujian and Zhejiang was killed, and this is the time when we can defeat the enemy. Take advantage of this time, I want to be able to embrace Fujian on the left and Zhejiang on the right, and live a happy life! Chen Dingtian said.

Fu Shanxiang's face was a little red, Chen Dingtian actually didn't forget to tease here at this time. What is the left embracing Fujian and the right embracing Zhejiang, isn't it actually deliberate? Tiandihui is in charge of Zhejiang Raiders, while Qiu Erniang is in charge of Fujian. Among them, the abbreviation of Zhejiang is Zhejiang, and the abbreviation of Fujian is Fujian.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the scum of the literary world, and the dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth!" Fu Shanxiang thought speechlessly.

Under Chen Dingtian's arrangement and coordination, the Heaven and Earth Society began to launch a strategy against Zhejiang. But in fact, this Zhejiang strategy is not difficult, because many villages in Zhejiang have a lot of working groups of heaven and earth associations, and Zhejiang has the natural advantage of being close to Shanghai at home, and you can get a lot of trained civil servants to be sent to be responsible for forming a working group, and then launch the "fight landlord" activity. Most of the civil servants in these working groups are poor literati from Nanqing in the past, and many of them don't even have a reputation for showing off their talents.

But Chen Dingtian doesn't care, as long as he values literacy, as for those who show off their talents, this "degree" and "degree" are not recognized by Chen Dingtian! On the contrary, he didn't need much fame, and even he gave priority to recruiting those Yamen scribes who were subordinate to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The status of these Yamen scribes in the Manchu Qing Dynasty belonged to the category of "untouchables", and such people were discriminated against in the Manchus, not only did they have no future for development, but were even oppressed by the officials.

However, they have very rich grassroots work experience, and Chen Dingtian attaches great importance to this kind of person. Although they have no fame, they are more useful than any fame, and these people have a wealth of grassroots work experience. Chen Dingtian likes to absorb this kind of people the most, and after entering the concession to exercise for a few months and broaden his horizons, he once again asked them to form a working group and return to the grassroots level to fight the landlords.

Such scribes had a very low status, had no land, and were even discriminated against, but they would not oppose public ownership of land. Coupled with Chen Dingtian's promise, the ceiling between officials was opened for them, and ordinary scribes were also qualified to be promoted to officials. They are even allowed to continue to work for a generation, and one person can work directly after they retire. However, the third generation does not have this qualification.

Although Chen Dingtian has many conditions, the many conditions represent sincerity to a certain extent, and it means that he sincerely recruits them, not the kind of people who casually boast about Haikou in order to cope. So this gave these scribes a "hope", and this pen was important for any monetary wealth. With the identity of getting rid of the untouchables, there is the hope of becoming a master, and there is the hope of long-term development.

Here in Chen Dingtian, they can no longer be pariahs, but "civil servants" that everyone envies. They may still be inferior in status to officials, but they are qualified to be promoted to officials, and no one dares to look at them with colored eyes from then on. Here in Chen Dingtian, they can be regarded as living with dignity. On the contrary, here in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they worked the hardest, their income was meager, and they were even looked down upon.

In order to make a living, they sometimes have to be greedy. However, Chen Dingtian promised that he would not be to blame for the past, but he must stop it in the future. This condition is also acceptable, and if they have hope in the future, they will naturally not dare to do bad things casually. On the contrary, if for the sake of this money, you will lose the qualifications of your descendants and cut off your future future, then you will lose money.

"Hurry up and open the city, we have come to accept the city?" Someone shouted outside the door with a loudspeaker.

The Qing army in the city should have been waiting for this day for a long time. They just hoped that these heaven and earth rebels would come and accept the city as soon as possible, because they wanted to get a division of land and land. Of course, some people still hope to continue to be officials, and these Qing troops have no hope on the side of the Manchus. News from other provinces could not reach Zhejiang, so these Qing troops were in fear every day amid rumors. Now they just hope that the two of them can take over the city as soon as possible, and then let them devote themselves to the arms of the Heaven and Earth Society rebel army as soon as possible, so that they can get a better development prospect.

Anyway, they don't see any hope on the Manchu side, and even think that the Manchus are about to end, so they all hope to go to the Heaven and Earth Society as soon as possible, so as to avoid being silent with the broken ship of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Lord Zhixian, please hand over the seal letter!" The scribe inside the yamen said to the magistrate.

That magistrate's face was like ashes, he didn't expect this day to come so quickly. In fact, these prefects and county prefects have long known that most of the scribes around them have actually betrayed them, and most of these officials understand it. Of course, they knew how much attraction Chen Dingtian's preferential treatment policy had to these scribes. But he was not reconciled, these magistrates were all from the two rankings, and the arrogance they had cultivated for many years was disdainful of those scribes. But now that these people have betrayed the court, they are very angry.

Before, these county magistrates thought that they could continue to get by, how they hoped that this was just an outside thief who would never come to attack the county seat, and he was still a big man in the county. Although he knew that many of his scribes had already secretly communicated with the rebel army of the Heaven and Earth Society outside, he simply did not see it, and even hoped that he would simply not let them go, and that these thieves would be able to understand him and not come to attack the county seat, and everyone would get by together and pass like this.

But in fact, he found that he was just deceiving himself. These thieves are not so kind, they just handed over this county seat to him temporarily, but sooner or later they will come and take it back. Now is the day to take it back, so he has to show a bitter smile. Such a result is really going to be troublesome.

"My lord, please hand over the seal, I don't think they will embarrass you. They said that as long as you hand over the seal, they promised not to hurt you. They can give you twenty taels of silver, which is ten times the amount of an ordinary soldier. Of course, you can't take all the riches in the treasury. Also, in addition to some of your own reasonable wealth, those huge fortunes of unknown origin, please stay. ”

Of course, the magistrate understood what "huge wealth of unknown origin" meant, and this meaning was actually not telling him that you should not take away the wealth that came from corruption. But now people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!

"That's it, inform my family, let's go!" Zhixian said.

This receiving process is still relatively friendly. Because the scribes in those county offices were promised, as long as they were not particularly angry with the people, they could continue to be employed. In the past, they can not blame them for those things in the past, and give them all kinds of preferential treatment in the future. Including breaking the ceiling between officials so that they can be promoted, or even further gradually promoted. Your own next generation can take the top class, and before the top class, other children can go to the civil service exam.

Such a good day, they have never thought of in the past. They all supported this Heaven and Earth Society rebel army, so they chose.

When the magistrate left, he found that the person responsible for maintaining law and order was actually his own Qing army, and the other party did not send a few literati, so those Qing soldiers nodded and invited them in. A few literati directly took over this so-called county seat. You must know that there are more than 100 garrisons in this county, and more than 100 garrisons actually nodded at a literati.

These few literati came to take over one county seat after another, making these Manchu counties who had just been driven away also look sad. None of the scribes in the entire county government, the fast catchers, and even the Green Camp Qing Army, continued to be optimistic about this Manchu court, and all of them gave up the Manchu court and chose to take refuge in the arms of the thieves.

Isn't this the legendary legend? In fact, this magistrate is not without some hope that he can continue to be retained, and he doesn't mind giving this heaven and earth his life. Anyway, it is not impossible to give life to anyone, and it is not impossible to abandon the Qing Dynasty. However, the people obviously didn't look down on him, and they sent another county official. These people are all civil servants who were born as low-level scribes and have been trained for a few days in the Ministry of Industry Bureau of that concession, and then went down to the township to serve as the leader of the working group.

Therefore, this magistrate can only make way for the "descendants" cultivated by others, after all, where is the passive refuge who takes the initiative to take refuge, and the people who have experienced their own cultivation are closer? There is no shortage of talents, so there is no need to retain you, a corrupt official, and you are also a second minister.

"Da Qingguo, eat jujube pills!" The magistrate smiled bitterly, left with his family on his back, and then ...... There is no then.
