18. Aftermath southeast

The Great Powers had long been familiar with China's civil war, but the Great War in the Southeast, triggered by the assassination of Fujian Overseer Li Houji and several Fujian bigwigs, really shocked China and foreign countries.

The almost full-scale rebellion in several provinces in East China has made people talk about a change of color, and this rebellion by the forces of the landlord feudal clique and the garrison of the East China Army have waged a fierce bloody battle, causing countless casualties and countless counties and cities in rivers of blood. What is especially unbelievable to the whole world is that the loyalty of the East China Army, almost all the garrison troops and police did not hesitate to choose to suppress the rebellion, and there was no success in counterinsurgency, and all the main officers were all killed in battle, without compromise and without surrender.

For a time, all countries remembered the military parade at Zhonghua Gate last year, the intimidating army with iron discipline, the neat array like machinery, the shining bayonets all appeared in front of them, and the thunderous footsteps beat like a war drum on the hearts of everyone who saw the parade. The first impression of those who have seen this unit is that it is powerful, and then the feeling is fear.

Countries have long guessed that the East China Army is very strong, because if such a terrible army can be built, then we can imagine the East China Army. But the shock given to them by the East China Army is far beyond the imagination of the great powers, it is helpless for a unit to have soldiers bought, but all the main officers can stick to their posts at the most dangerous time until they die in battle, how shocking is that? They can't understand what makes them give their lives without hesitation, ideals? Mission? Or is it some kind of spirit of faith?

Sacrificing one's life to die is a simple four words, but it is extremely difficult to do, and there is only one sentence -- the only death that is difficult through the ages. If it's one person, several people, it's not surprising, it may be that the situation does not allow retreat; Even if one of the officers of the East China Army escaped, it was not so shocking and frightening, after all, there were still people who couldn't bear the pressure; But the fact that all of them died in battle is really chilling.

The countries have already guessed that the East China Army will surely sweep through the provinces. In fact, as they expected, the East China Army occupied the entire territory of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian, and even the Yang Sen Department of the Sichuan Army, which had been ordered to enter Hubei for reinforcements, only half of it was gone, and it was frightened back.

Then, the two divisions of Li Huangshan's division of the Second Army of the East China Army advanced into Guangdong without hesitation, and the soldiers were invincible.

When Li Bufan returned to Nanjing, a month had passed. Nanjing is the only city that has not been affected, because Nanjing is heavily stationed, not only a regiment of garrison troops, but also a Rong guard division, Nanjing's wealthy families will not kill themselves, of course, there is a certain amount of chaos, but it was quickly suppressed.

However, the streets of Nanjing have been deserted a lot, after this chaos, almost everyone is in danger, who knows if this southeast king will be angry and kill red eyes, and look at them to vent their anger? Who can not be annoyed and embarrassed when such a riot happens in their own lair?

The next day, the East China political axe ordered the construction of the martyrs' shrine in Nanjing Yuhuatai to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in this war. At the same time, martyrs' shrines have also been established in various counties and cities, and the fallen soldiers in each county and city can be cremated and their ashes enshrined here.

At the same time, the pension quota was also issued, and all those who were killed or injured in combat units, garrison units, and police officers were given pensions according to the standard of servicemen, and all irregular servicemen were given five acres of land to their families. Of course, the punishment is also severe, and those who escape from the battlefield or do not participate in the judgment under various excuses will be dismissed and never hired.

"Five acres of land, and five hundred oceans of pension, Zhang Laohan's family has since made it. What is a son afraid of when he dies? There are three in his family. ”

"Liu Lao Er is also happy, he broke a hand, he was originally from the garrison, but now he has five acres of land and three hundred oceans, and he can live with peace of mind."

"I knew that I would be a soldier in this way, even if I died, the whole family would have a good life."

People all over East China have a lot of discussions, some envious and some jealous. You must know that the soldiers before were all genuine poor soldiers, in this troubled era, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't open the pot at home, who would be a soldier, the warlord might die one day, and the handsome man would finish playing, and the pension would naturally be beaten. But now that the East China Army has smashed down the pension, it has made countless people red-eyed, and the dead and wounded this time are tens of thousands, and the pension alone will cost tens of millions, but the sliding political axe has not blinked, and it has been sent. And it was in front of everyone's eyes to move out of the box according to the list and order the ocean in person, and send a lot of them.

"Recruited, Li Dashuai has expanded the army and recruited!" I don't know who screamed, and for a while, there was a disarray, and countless young men rushed over, especially those who had brothers in the family, and they were even more anxious to squeeze forward.

The full payment of pensions, the high salaries of the soldiers, and the repayment of land property even if the garrison and police officers died in battle, greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the poor people to join the army.

"How? Top dog. Wu Di looked at the screen video called up in the base car, and said triumphantly, "As long as you have money?" Are you afraid that you won't be able to find soldiers? ”

Li Bufan frowned and said, "It's just an army of 800,000, which is too much." ”

Wu Di's eyes widened and said, "That's more." You must know that after taking Liangguang, then you will be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the nine provinces, and there will be less than 100,000 people in one province, is this called a lot? Don't forget, the foreign devils are not going to wait for you to grow stronger to abolish unequal treaties, I guess now they will have to ask you about your attitude towards those treaties, and if you don't obey, they will deal with you. If you don't have the strength, what do you do to fight others? 800,000 is too little for me. I think we have to prepare at least a million reserves. ”

Li Bufan rolled his eyes and said, "Are you going to put a regiment in each county?" ”

Wu Di smiled bitterly: "My boss, why don't you open your head?" Who said that the reserve force has to be a garrison force? We can also set up a production and construction corps and organize them to repair infrastructure construction in various places, such as roads, bridges, railways, hydropower stations, schools and hospitals, etc., which is much cheaper than finding workers. The most important thing is that it can be trained in peacetime, and it can be used as a reserve to supplement the troops in case of war. By the way, this time we have to raid the houses on a large scale, confiscate the fields of those big landlords, and then we have to find someone to plant. ”

Li Bufan shook his head and said: "The land still has to be rented to the people in the name of the political axe, otherwise so many people have no fields and no work to do, how can they live?" I think we should just leave some land to grow enough food for the troops. ”

Wu Di smiled and said, "Boss, I have no opinion on renting it to the people." But if you want to work on food, you are not as good as a traverser. I'm not afraid to tell you, I won't talk about it in our time, let's just say that in the 21st world, countries have established grain reserves in all provinces, and this is for disaster prevention. Moreover, in the initial stage, it can also play a role in stabilizing prices with grain prices, which is a magic weapon to ensure the stability of the country, especially since our country has such a population and is short of food, which will cause big trouble. However, some landlords and grain merchants will make it difficult for the country to make money, so how can the people live during the disaster? The most important thing is that those landlords have imperfect methods of grain storage, which will rot and deteriorate, causing huge waste, and if they sell such grain in a black heart, it may cause a plague. ”

Li Bufan nodded and said: "You are a traverser, naturally there is a good way for the future generations, you take an idea, I can pass it when I see it." My biggest headache now is this riot, how do you say it will end? Almost ninety percent of large and medium-sized landlords participated, and ninety percent of wealthy families also participated, all over the four provinces (plus Fujian), but the first offender was tens of thousands, and if you want to add your family, there must be hundreds of thousands, and you can't kill them all, right? ”

Wu Di smiled dryly: "Hey, what should I do?" Small things, this problem is left to solve. ”

Li Bufan looked at Wu Di with a very puzzled expression, obviously a little distrustful, don't look at this guy as a traverser, but he is very rough.

Wu Di exclaimed with great dissatisfaction: "What kind of eyes are you? ”

"Distrustful eyes."

“”

Soon, the garrison units and police departments in various localities wrote letters threatening to severely punish the rebels, but they clamored for the destruction of their homes and houses, and some even demanded the extermination of the three ethnic groups, causing an uproar. All the wealthy families and families who participated in the rebellion were full of despair and panic.

Fortunately, soon Li Bufan, the political axe of East China, sent a message saying: It is too strict and does not agree.

However, many comrades-in-arms and colleagues of the commanders and police officers of the garrison units in various localities died in this disaster, and although they also took a step back, they resolutely demanded that people must kill the first evil, and all family property and land must be confiscated. The reason is why these wealthy landlords can gather people to rebel and rebel? It was because they used their land to coerce a large number of tenant farmers, because they had the money to buy weapons and hire nurses. If we do not completely eradicate this root cause and teach them a profound lesson, we will fight again in the future.

Li Bufan knew that these were all directed by Wu Di, and said puzzledly: "What do you want to do?" ”

Wu Di smiled dryly: "This is called a bitch and a torii should be erected." You see, the first thing was to raid the house and destroy the house, scaring those wealthy families half to death. If you come forward to veto, it is equivalent to being a good person, and it is not excluded that there are scumbags in these wealthy families who are not grateful, but the vast majority of people have escaped death, and their opinion of you has changed a little. Then, kill the head of the evil, I think these wealthy landlords are psychologically prepared, their patriarch or something is ready to die, but the property is confiscated, how can they survive? Isn't that going to kill them? ”

Li Bufan said puzzledly: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Wu Di smiled and said, "Of course, you continue to be a good person." It is necessary to kill the evildoers, and land confiscation is the root of their rebellion. Then, you can declare your personal property sacrosanct and not confiscate other property, but you have caused so many deaths and injuries that they must be compensated for, and they must pay for the damage caused. ”

Li Bufan said with a smile: "Dare to be kind to me, this pension to the army has become a generous gesture to others." ”

"That's, but you can't generalize."

"Huh?"
