"What a clear conscience!" Su Sanniang suddenly raised her eyebrows, snatched Wang Feng's words, and said angrily: "I am Su Sanniang, the commander of the Fourth Army of the Democratic Alliance, and Lord Zhou is angry that your brothers, wives and children have been poisoned by the Taiping Army, so let me ask you, how many people in the Taiping Army have been poisoned by the Qing Court?" There are also women, children and the elderly, and the lives of your family are fateful, but are they not lives? If you ask the Taiping army for their lives, who should they ask for? ”

Zhou Shengbo simply let it go and smiled coldly: "If you don't have troops to rebel, how can the court send troops to encircle and suppress it?" In the battle array, accidental injuries are always inevitable, and the root cause of everything lies in the fact that you rebelled against the court first. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that our army didn't allow the abuse of prisoners, the old lady would have slashed you with one knife now!" Su Sanniang almost drew a knife and slashed at Zhou Shengbo, but it was only thanks to Wang Feng to stop it, so she forced the killing intent and said: "In 1853, Jiang Zhongyuan, who was then the envoy of Hubei, said to Xianfeng: Yuekou is cruel and unspeakable, and then chooses fat and eats, and the poor have no time to search, or pretend to tie the hearts of the people, pay more for the city, and the soldiers will seize the traitor~~ dirt, and the poor households will not be spared.

Jiang Zhongyuan should still have some sense of justice, but he was an official of the Qing court, and he did not dare to expose the criminal acts of the Qing army more directly, but we carefully analyzed, and these sentences made it very clear that the misery of the Taiping army was nothing more than choosing fat and devouring it, but it was the landlords who oppressed the people who attacked the old wealth, and not only did not seek the poor, but helped them. Robbing people's property, raping ~~ defiling women, doing all kinds of evil!

In addition, Zeng Guofan said: To make the Cantonese bandits go to a land without people, like fish to walk in a land without water, and live in a land without farming. What does it mean to be a mountain without a tree? The first is to carry out massacres. Turning Jiangnan into a no-man's land, the Taiping army lost the support of the people. The second is to implement the scorched earth policy, turning the fertile land of fish and rice into a land of uncultivated land without farming, so that the Taiping army has no place to eat, and its core is to deplete the population and slaughter the south of the Yangtze River!

He said so, and he did so, in the face of the attack of the Taiping army, wherever he could not hold on. They slaughtered and burned and plundered, and when the place controlled by the Taiping army was captured by them, they appeared as a victor and slaughtered innocent people.

When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not die due to civil strife, the Taiping army in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River fought bravely. Zeng Guofan advocated animal revenge to boost morale.

For example, in the battles of Xingguo and Daye, all the captives obtained were gouged out of Ling Chi, and the captives obtained outside Jiujiang City were beheaded, under the example of Zeng Guofan's bestiality. The cruelty of the Hunan army is unprecedented, and your own people in the Qing court say that the Hunan army kills the people for righteousness. Once the city was recovered by the Hunan army, it was used as a name for searching and arresting bandits. The unscrupulous show is anointed with the blade, taking advantage of the situation to abduct and burn. When the city is broken, all things will be destroyed.

There is also a saying among the people: it is said that the people and thieves are united, the people do not hate the thieves but hate the soldiers, the thieves are like combs, and the soldiers are like grates, that is to say, our Taiping army is like a comb, only robbing the rich and the poor, not the poor households, and the officers and soldiers of the Qing court do not care about the rich and poor, and rob them all.

After returning to China, a British soldier published a letter of repentance in the newspaper, in which he described a scene of the Qing army's massacre of prisoners, to the effect that these prisoners included men and women, old and young, from newborn babies to 80-year-old waddling old men, from pregnant women to girls between 10 and 18 years old.

The Qing army handed over these women and girls to a group of hooligans ~~ rape, and then dragged them back to be executed, some young girls, the executioner turned them on their backs to the sky, tore off their clothes, and then cut them straight to the chest with a knife.

These executioners did the caesarean section, and they were able to do it without injuring the five organs, and they reached into the chest and pulled out a steaming heart, and the victims, staring straight into the eyes, saw them doing such a cruel thing, and many nursing babies were also taken from their mothers' arms. Many of the able-bodied male captives were not only disemboweled, but also tortured, and the executioners cut off pieces of their flesh, sometimes into their mouths, sometimes at the noisy spectators.

Zhou Shengbo, is this what you call a miscarriage? According to the crimes you have committed, it is not an exaggeration to kill them a hundred times, but the commander-in-chief does not care about you, and is willing to erase everything from the past and start from scratch, what is this for? Isn't it just to end the civil war as soon as possible and build a strong China with one heart and one mind?

As for you, you are concerned about the gains and losses of your family, and if everyone is as calculating as you, then at least half of the soldiers in our Democratic Alliance army will die due to cannibalism! ”

Zhou Shengbo's arrogance was obviously beaten, indeed, you killed other people's wives, children and mothers, and others also killed his wives and children, this is a bad debt, you have your reasons, so who should the innocent who died in your hands cry out to you?

Su Sanniang was unforgiving, her phoenix eyes swept away, and she said: "The Qing court taxes are heavy, the officials are brutal and harsh, and the people are forced to live, what will he do if he doesn't rebel?" Is it only the people who die in vain and do not resist that you are praised? And where did the hundreds of thousands of twisted troops that you Huai Army recruited come from? Aren't they all Huaibei farmers who have been driven to a dead end?

Zhou Shengbo, your ability to reverse black and white is not small, I don't lie to you, just when the commander-in-chief saw you coming, he said with a smile: Liu Mingchuan, Zhang Shusheng and Zhou Shengbo all have their own talents, and they can be the head of any army or any province for politics, and it is even possible to serve in the central ministries and commissions after a few years of training.

It can be seen that the commander-in-chief still cherishes you very much, and is very happy that you are here to vote, otherwise why would he use all means to break the military spirit of the Huai army? I don't like to say a word, if our army launches a strong attack, I'm afraid the battle will end before the Spring Festival, even if you have Tongbai Mountain as a support, it can't change the result, it's nothing more than a matter of paying a little more price.

But the commander-in-chief didn't do this, he just didn't want to kill and wound too much, and it would be difficult for everyone to meet in the future, and you didn't understand the commander-in-chief's kindness, stubbornness, it's too disappointing! ”

Among Liu Mingchuan, Zhang Shusheng and Zhou Shengbo, Liu Mingchuan's family background is slightly worse, and he is deeply touched by Su Sanniang's accusation, he sold illicit salt in his early years, and was almost killed by the official army several times, and he was also killed by the Taiping Army to Su Wan, so that he could devote himself to the regimental training in time to whitewash the past.

Thinking of the days of licking blood a few years ago, Liu Mingchuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Zhang Shusheng and Zhou Shengbo's backgrounds are similar, they both belong to large families, although there is no personal pain in what Su Sanniang said, but he is sure that it is the truth, recalling all the things he has done in the past, his face also shows a trace of shame.

Zhou Shengbo, as the person who was directly targeted, also fell into contemplation, he asked himself again and again, is the Taiping Army really doing all kinds of evil, is the official army necessarily just, and is the destruction of the family a retribution from God?

"Humph!" Su Sanniang suddenly snorted coldly: "Oh~~ I almost forgot, your Zhou family has 10,000 acres of fertile land, an annual rent of about 20,000 stone of rice, and a pawnshop, which is considered a solid family, so naturally I can't understand the despair of ordinary people running around for a mouthful of rice porridge."

However, I must remind you that we at the NLD and its government will not allow anyone to get something for nothing, and strictly restrict living on rent, that is, you can rent out your property in the city for rental income, but except for the government, it is illegal for private individuals to rent out land, that is, we can protect the legal property rights to the land only if the land is managed by the owners themselves.

For those who fail to meet the requirements, according to our usual practice, the land is confiscated and distributed to the tenant farmers, and the landlord's entire family is exterminated.

Now you have two choices, the first is to run the land by yourself like the big landowners in southern Jiangsu, remember, it is to operate, not to let go, pay the wages to the employees on a monthly basis, the employees have no personal dependence with the employer, and they can choose to renew the contract or leave when the contract expires, and at the same time they must not beat and abuse the employees for no reason, even if the employees have petty theft or infringement of the interests of the owner, the master family must not exercise lynching, but should be handed over to the local police department for processing.

Secondly, if you find the terms too restrictive to accept, you can sell the land to the government at market price. ”

Farmers and landlords are both big landowners, the only difference between the two is to live by collecting rent or run their own business, for farmers, Wang Feng never suppressed, he only suppressed the landlords, and there are many support measures for farmers.

Because if agriculture wants to develop, it must take the road of large-scale agriculture and industrialization; from this point of view, farmers are more suited to the requirements of the times than from fields to households, but excessive concentration of land is the source of all evils in China's history, and the Chinese have the traditional idea that cultivators have their own fields, so Wang Feng must divide the land, and the agricultural stock manufacturing he engaged in later is a remedy for dividing the fields to households; in fact, every agricultural company can be regarded as a farmer.

The history of the United States has long proven that the farmer does not hinder the development of the productive forces, and it is only the landlord who lags behind the times.

And in the Hunan army and the Huai army, the battalion officers are all local landlords, these people are not good people, they also bully men and women, how to deal with them, Wang Feng is racking his brains, do a one-size-fits-all, kill them all, can only force the Hunan and Huai Second Army to fight to the death, let it go and contrary to the principles of governance of the Democratic Alliance, after consulting with Wang Youling and others, in the end, for the battalion officers and above Qing army generals whether they are hired or not, they will be given these two choices, and if they are not hired, they will be given an additional severance pay of 100 silver dollars.

Those who choose the former will have the government come forward to help them transform from landlords to farmers, that is, to manage their own land like Suzhou Sifu, and those who choose the latter are better to do, just give money directly.

The policy of the Democratic League is open, and Zhou Shengbo also understands that in fact, when he can't help himself, he is more inclined to the first plan in his heart, after all, under the influence of traditional concepts, the land is still his own, but he has to be subject to some constraints.

can just be counted by Su Sanniang, he was embarrassed to speak, so he simply shut up. (To be continued......)
