In a secret manor more than ten miles away from Liaozhong Town, dozens of landlords and gentry were sitting in the lobby with sad faces, without saying a word. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As time passed, one of the young landlords couldn't help but complain......

"Liaodong Army, the Li family's extermination case must be a play directed and acted by the Liaodong Army......"

"They want to kill chickens and monkeys, and use dozens of lives of the Li family to warn us that if we go against the Liaodong Army behind our backs, we will be the second Li family ......"

"My Wang family has worked hard for several lifetimes to get to where we are today, and we must not take risks...... Therefore, my Wang family withdrew, and from now on, we will do whatever the Liaodong Army says......"

"My Zhang family also quit...... Our Zhang family is in a single lineage, but we don't want to be ruined because we offend the Liaodong Army......"

Soon, three or four timid landlords came forward to withdraw from the alliance.

At this moment, the old man sitting at the head of the lobby finally reacted, and after slamming his clenched fist on the table next to him, he scolded loudly: "Shut up the old man......"

"Quit, do you think, can you quit now......

"You have all seen the notice of the Liaodong Army, in the entire territory of Liaozhong, each ordinary person is divided into five acres of fertile land, and the tax is still two percent lower than that of the imperial court. So, do you think that from now on, there will be people who will farm for you? ”

"No one will farm for you, what will you eat in the future, how will you live......"

After the old man finished speaking, the few landlords and gentry who were still shouting to quit just now fell silent......

At this time, one of the landlords couldn't help but ask: "Old man Wang, you have been a county magistrate and have more knowledge than us, you say, what should we do next...... You can't fight against the Liaodong Army......"

"The Liaodong Army is an army that even Lao Maozi can defeat...... And we, although there are many family members and thugs, have no combat effectiveness at all...... really faced the Liaodong Army, maybe he didn't even have the courage to fight. ”

"We really don't have the ability to confront the Liaodong Army head-on......" Regarding the facts, the old man did not object, and said with a serious face.

Just when everyone slowly showed gloomy expressions because of these words, the old man's words suddenly changed, and he continued: "We really don't have the strength to confront the Liaodong Army...... However, there are people who have the strength to do this......"

"For us...... Once the Liaodong Army allocates land to those untouchables, then we will be cornered by the Liaodong Army. Therefore, we must drive the Liaodong Army out of Liaozhong before the Liaodong Army divides the fields, otherwise, we will be completely defeated, and there is no possibility of turning defeat into victory......"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible......" As soon as the old man's words were finished, a man stood up and retorted.

"There are so many soldiers and horses in the Liaodong Army, not only with rifles, but also with machine guns...... Even the imperial court did not have a dozen artillery pieces. With such a strong strength, how could we possibly drive them out of Liaozhong......"

"Also, as soon as the notice of the Liaodong Army's division of fields came out, many untouchables in Liaozhong believed it, and their hearts were on the side of the Liaodong Army. In this way, it will be even more difficult to drive them out of Liaozhong......"

At this time, the old man on the throne spoke again: "We have no way to do it, it doesn't mean that others can't ......"

"In Liaozhong, we hate the Liaodong Army...... However, in the entire territory of Liaodong, there are people who hate the Liaodong Army more than us, and if we invite them to come out, we can not only drive the Liaodong Army out of Liaozhong, but also let them all die here......"

"Russians...... Old man Wang, you're talking about Russians......" One of the scholars, almost subconsciously exclaimed.

Master Li did not deny it, and replied with a serious face: "Yes, it's the Russians......"

"The old man is not talented, and the commander of the Lushun Land Defense Lieutenant General Kondelachko has a certain connection, as long as we offer a starting price, Lieutenant General Kondelachnko will definitely send troops into Liaozhong to destroy the Liaodong Army ......"

Speaking of this, a sneer suddenly flashed on Master Li's face, and he said mockingly to everyone.

"Of course, some people may wonder that the Russians have been defeated at the hands of the Liaodong Army more than once. Even if the Russian army is invited, the Russians may not be able to defeat the Liaodong army......"

"If the Russians can't defeat the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army will definitely retaliate against us......"

After Master Li finished speaking, he could clearly feel that many landlords and gentry had an expression of approval on their faces.

What's more, the faces of some landlords and gentry have turned pale because of fear......

At this moment, a young man who was a little bolder suddenly stood up and asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it, old man...... As far as I know, the Liaodong Army has already defeated the Russian army more than once......"

"The Liaodong Army is now armed with rifles, heavy machine guns, and even artillery...... All snatched from the Russian army. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of pairs of eyes in the lobby seemed to have been discussed, and at the same time focused their eyes on Master Li.

Without letting everyone wait too long, Master Li spoke again: "Of course not...... This time, as long as everyone is willing...... The old man promised that the Liaodong Army would die without a place to be buried......"

"As for the reason, it's very simple......"

"This time the Russian army is fighting against the Liaodong Army, and because of our help, it will definitely go very smoothly......"

"There are two things that the old man asks everyone to do......

"First, raise silver, grain and grass as the military expenses of the Russian army, and the old man will personally go to Lushun and say that the commander of Lushun land defense will send troops to Liaozhong to eliminate the Liaodong ......Army."

"Second, after the Russian army enters Liaozhong, everyone must help the Russian army as much as possible and lead the way for them...... I believe that with everyone's help, the Russian army that entered Liaozhong will definitely get twice the result with half the effort when fighting against the Liaodong Army......."
