Zhou Xiuying and Fu Shanxiang sent a number of working groups to Zhejiang, and most of these working groups are mainly more than a dozen armed men and a few civil servants, who will infiltrate Zhejiang to carry out "landlord fighting" activities. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But don't look at them, these guys seem to have a relatively small number of people, but they have a lot of strength. For example, they are also equipped with some grenades, these grenades are big killer weapons, this is made of gunpowder imported directly from foreigners, and it is much more powerful than those bombs that are currently common in China.

With these weapons of mass destruction, it is impossible for the roots of the civil armed forces in those villages to be able to resist their activities of fighting landlords. Although those landlords had some guards, they could not defend themselves in the face of such fierce firepower. They concentrated in the nursing home and went directly to the hospital with a grenade. In this way, those guards immediately scattered and fled, and they did not dare to stop it.

Of course, maybe some of the Qing troops in Zhejiang will come to support, but according to the enemy's strategy of advancing and retreating, once the Qing army arrives, they will immediately begin to retreat and not fight hard with the Qing army. But after the Qing army retreated, they returned here again to fight the landlord. This kind of light grenade makes those landlords miserable, and Chen Dingtian doesn't mind killing people, anyway, killing people will be killed, and you can't scruple so many innocent people in the war.

As long as you try to avoid killing innocents and don't take the initiative to hurt innocents, that's fine.

With grenades, a weapon of mass destruction relative to this era, they quickly gained a foothold in this grassroots village. Often a dozen people are in charge of a village, and then the patriarchs of those clan forces are killed. In the end, he became the king of the village in the countryside and burned all those land deeds. As for the people, there is not much strange attitude towards their behavior. But then the people gave them a part of the land and promised that the so-called right to use it for 20 years would be theirs, and the people were quite moved. Twenty years from now, they don't have much of a long-term idea. As for this land in the future, except for the so-called "public grain", there is no need to pay anything else, and there is no need to ask for a share.

Those people also have a day to count, anyway, many of these people have never seen the government, as for these people who occupy the village as kings, they have no way to stop it, anyway, who will rule is not to live, as long as it does not affect their lives.

However, this is also quite apprehensive for many Qing troops, and the more grassroots they are, the more afraid they are.

"Did you hear that? Recently, there have been a lot of traitors coming down here, and they're from Shanghai. They actually occupied the village below and became kings, and they actually divided the land. This group of traitors seems to be different from other traitors, they occupy the village, but they have not come to attack the county seat! When other traitors rebel, don't they all have to attack the county first? A Qing army asked.

And someone else said, "If the traitors attack, then we must not go to war?" So I don't think it's better not to provoke them, let's go and live here, as long as the traitors don't come, then we can enjoy a peaceful day. Now that the world is in chaos, I heard that Changmao has been preparing an army in Hunan that may attack at any time, and once hundreds of thousands of troops are dispatched, Jiangning will not be protected. ”

"Fujian is also in chaos, I heard a distant relative of mine who works in the Ya of Fujian and Zhejiang County say that Fujian has actually been in chaos for a long time, and many county towns have been occupied by the female bandit named Qiu Erniang. However, the female bandit didn't seem to plan to attack the county seat directly, but also occupied the village as the king in the countryside, and did not attack the county seat. ”

A Qing army said disdainfully: "Hmph, hey, I think this looks like these traitors in our Zhejiang, and they are also the same number!" ”

"That's right! How do they seem to be the same number of roads, it seems to be about the same! ”

However, some people still said disdainfully: "Actually, this gang of traitors is also a woman, after all, women have long hair and short knowledge, so they don't come to attack the county seat?" What is there to go to that poor country, if I come directly to attack the county seat, then there is everything. Wouldn't it be nice to even directly sensational one side and shake the momentum? ”

However, it seems that not everyone thinks so, but there is a young general of the Qing army who is a little worried.

"I think, these guys are not in a hurry to attack the county seat, I think I'm afraid they are powerful. You think, if you attack the county seat, then everyone has to come to the rescue, and even we have to resist desperately. But now that they're down there, isn't that just grasping our thoughts? They are below, and we hope that there will be more than less in the city, so we choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. And all the adults in the imperial court also pretended to be deaf and dumb, especially at this time, they didn't want to go out to conquer the enemy. ”

"And for them messing around below, didn't they also choose the method of appeasement? If we attacked, they would go straight away, but after we left, they came back again, and they went straight to the seesaw. But in the end, we still have no way to take them, but those squires have also been slaughtered or captured by those guys, what should we do? ”

"Even, I've heard that they've developed some manpower down there, and there's a tendency to blossom in all directions!"

I have to say that the Qing army is not all fools, even if a government is rotten like a piece of, there will be a few good goods in the nightclub. There are still some people who have the foresight to see this strategy given by Chen Dingtian to surround the city in the countryside below.

This strategy is most suitable for the enemy's strength and our weakness, and it is the most suitable method of rebellion for China's national conditions. It can be said that he has thoroughly understood China's national conditions and the mentality of those bureaucrats. Such a method can directly fight the landlord in the countryside below and disintegrate the other party from the foundation.

However, the vast majority of the Qing army, and even the vast majority of officials, did not see this clearly, and they still believed that the towns were the most important. As long as you don't come to attack the city, there will be no problem with the city as a political benchmark. Cities are political benchmarks, just like if a provincial capital is lost, it is actually a province lost in the eyes of many people. In fact, the loss of a provincial capital is much more important than the loss of other cities. Even if other cities are in their hands, but the provincial capital city is lost, then in the subconscious of most people, it is also the loss of a province.

Therefore, if they attack the county seat or even the capital city, the Qing army will inevitably resist desperately, because they understand this political significance very well. However, if it is done at the grassroots level, it will not only be detrimental to the regular army, but also the officials of the imperial courts in various places will not pay too much attention to these "poor and remote places". Even some court officials will not take the initiative to lift the lid, and even some court officials will reach some tacit understanding with all kinds of you to a certain extent in order to cover the lid and cover the fact that their subordinates are traitors, that is, if you don't take the initiative to attack the county, I won't attack you.

Because if he sends troops to attack, it will not only be very risky, but it will even expose the presence of traitors in your men. In that case, even if you exterminate the other party, then why you appeared as a traitor before, then you can't explain it clearly. Therefore, most of those bureaucrats will not take the initiative to speak out, but may reach a tacit understanding with all kinds of traitors.

"This group of traitors is really unusual, they didn't come to attack the county seat? Looks like I'm going to see what the hell is going on with these traitors? The Qing army general always thought.

This Qing army general directly changed his clothes, dressed like a farmer, and came directly below. He began to see a lot of people preparing for the harvest. At this time, it was actually time for the autumn harvest, and the current war in China had little impact in Zhejiang. Originally, after the autumn harvest, it would be possible to redistribute the grain, and the owner of the land would definitely take 30%.

But now since the people of the Heaven and Earth Society have come, this grain has been distributed by the Heaven and Earth Society to the users of the land. That is, those who are willing to take refuge in the rebel army of the Heaven and Earth Society. Of course, if you are not willing to take refuge, if you are not willing to take the initiative to support military rations or take the initiative to serve in the military, then you will not be able to obtain land in the first batch. Those lands that have not been allocated are still performed in accordance with the past tenancy agreements, and cannot obtain the "right to use" the land. However, the agreements signed with the original landlords were also abolished, and not only the various debts and deeds of sale were also abolished, and the rent of those lands was promised to never exceed 30%. And this is the aspect that does not obtain the right of use, and the right to use only needs to pay one-fifteenth of the tax, and that is fine.

However, if you want to obtain the right to use, you must either serve in the military for at least three years, or you must take the initiative to pay for additional military rations for ten years before you can obtain the right to use the land, but this is also much lower, no more than 10%.

"Ha, ha, ha!"

Many militiamen of the so-called Tiandihui Rebel Army are beginning to train, and basically there are more than 100 militia in every village, but these militias are non-professional and only train every night. As for the soldiers who specialize in service, there are only about five or six per village on average, but now they occupy more than a dozen counties, and now they have no less than a few thousand armed troops at the grassroots level.

"If we calculate it according to less, there are five or six villages in one village, then on average, there are ten villages in one township and ten townships in one county, then they now have about thousands of troops in each county. Thousands of people, if concentrated, it will not necessarily be a problem to conquer a county seat. ”

"But they're still training, training honestly. Although the weapons are inferior to ours, it is entirely necessary that sooner or later it will become a real army. Even if they were allowed to expand like this, even if there were five or six people in a village who specialized in the army, once the villages below were encroached upon by them, how many troops would they have. This is still a special battle, once those amateur soldiers are pulled out, although they dare not say that they will conquer the city, but the momentum is not small. ”

This Qing army always used simple mathematical calculations, and they all calculated a chilling number. Because of this, it is true that those Tiandihui rebel armies and even the Qiu Erniang rebel army in Fujian seem to be in the countryside at present, but if you go down to the grassroots level to make a preliminary investigation, there are five or six professional armed forces and more than 100 amateur armed forces in a village. For the time being, according to the decimal system on average, a township is 50 professional armed and more than 1,000 amateur armed men. If it is a county, it is probably hundreds of professional armed men, almost thousands to ten thousand amateur armed men.

"People who have done some amateur training, even if they can't fight head-on, but help transport some food and grass, are very good people. Without fighting, do some logistical chores, these people can provide a lot of rear chores for the army, so that the army can concentrate on combat. ”

"Once these people are mobilized by these people one by one, the number of people alone is enough to shock the sky. Maybe the weapons are not as good as ours, but what about later? In our Qing court, is there really more army than them? ”

If it is simply measured by the number of regular troops, it may be that the Qing court is much more. However, if this is calculated, a county town "hides" hundreds of professional troops of the enemy, and those non-professional troops are not able to fight, but they can still be in charge of miscellaneous chores. If this is the case, then how many of these traitors' troops are there, once they continue to encroach on the towns and towns and develop more troops, then the number of such troops is simply astronomical.

"Once they are allowed to grow bigger, it will get bigger and bigger like shaking the Lantern Festival, and then don't look at the fact that there are not many troops of these traitors on the surface. But if one of them is killed, their subsequent militia and those people can be replenished immediately. You can replenish the troops at any time, and our army in the Qing Dynasty is counted as one less, so it's terrible. ”

The commander of the Qing army was already aware of the power of this method, and it was very terrible to scatter a large number of troops in the countryside below, and mobilize them when needed.

So don't look at the Qing army on the surface, which is large in number and even very strong in combat. But there were more enemies, but they weren't exposed. At that time, there will be one less Qing army who dies, but those enemies have very deep roots, even if they lose a soldier, they can quickly be drawn out of the follow-up troops, and at least with a little training, they can easily become regular troops.

"Although we have a lot of cities in the Qing Dynasty, if you really count it, at least seventy or eighty percent or even more are rural. If the countryside is occupied, it actually means that seventy or eighty percent of the country's land has been lost, then we are afraid that seventy or eighty percent of the country's land has been lost long ago, and those county towns are just an isolated island. At that time, we will not be able to leave the county, and once we leave the county, we will be hit by all kinds of blows, which is terrible. ”

"No, I'm going back to report to the court!"

The Qing army commander wanted to leave, but was soon surrounded by a group of people.

"Who are you? I just heard that a fresh face came in, who are you? A small non-commissioned officer of the Heaven and Earth Society said.

The petty non-commissioned officer was the "armed captain" of the village and was responsible for managing five or six professional armed men, but he was not responsible for the militia. (To be continued.) )
