Chapter 437: The Rebel's Revenge
There are only two ways for the revival group to solve its own supply, external purchase and internal purchase. If the problem of supply is not solved, the 150,000 troops of the revival regiment will only be left with 350,000 by next year.
If you want to buy grain from neighboring countries, the gold and silver in the hands of the revival group are sufficient, but the grain in the neighboring countries is not supplied in sufficient quantities, and it is still possible to buy rations for tens of thousands of people at a large price, but the revival group is not a small organization of tens of thousands of people, it is a small country that radiates half of the northern plains, and there is not much difference between the rations of tens of thousands of people.
It is a good idea to buy rice from Southeast Asia, corn and wheat from the Americas, as long as the price is full, there should be no problem in buying the rations of the whole of India for a year or two.
Yang Meng's policy of exchanging smoke for grain is also a good thing for the revival group, the colonies of the great powers, the Americas represented by Millican, and the plantations there in the past two years have been slowly focusing on grain production.
However, there is a lot of grain overseas, and England, the world's largest naval power, can it allow this grain to reach India smoothly? The answer is obvious, no!
The way of purchasing grain from outside is limited by congenital conditions, and buying one or two boats or hundreds of tons of grain by land is also a drop in the bucket for the revival regiment.
Affected by Yang Meng's grain policy, not only Southeast Asia and the Americas, but also the East India Company is also a kind of India's land. There are only three cash crops. Tobacco, cotton, and grain. For the East India Company, the profits were about the same, and those suitable for growing tobacco were planted with tobacco soil, and those suitable for growing cotton were planted with cotton, and the rest were all grain plantations.
The Mughal royal family in India existed in name only, and the princes, nobles and landlords in various places were the main forces that seized India. They formed an extremely complex network of relations with the Viceroy of India and the East India Company, complying, confronting, and compromising.
The northern plains of India are the center of British rule, and Delhi is located in the northern plains, and the revival groups frequently occupy some rich areas of the northern plains, which has also caused dissatisfaction and panic among many people.
England is, of course, the most dissatisfied and feared. Needless to say, the princes and nobles of India fought to the death with the revival regiment of the landlords. Similar to the regimental training of the Qing Dynasty, the army that really belonged to the princes and nobles had not yet participated in this war.
The internal purchase of food, it is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, the revival group must at least cross the three major forces in order to purchase food smoothly, the English Governor's Palace, the East India Company, and the princes and nobles of India.
For England, the revival group is their mortal enemy, India is revived, so what else is there in England? The huge income of the Indian colonies is only one of them, and the abundant supply of troops is also indispensable for the island nation of England.
Grain was also extremely important to the East India Company, as grain and tobacco were the goods that the East India Company exchanged for tobacco, and grain and tobacco were worth more than cash and silver in barter.
Selling grain to the revival group, if it makes money, it is easy to say, but if there is no food, use cash and silver to buy cloud smoke, this in and out, the revival group will definitely not be able to pay sky-high prices, the East India Company will lose money, accounting for the majority, it is not profitable, this grain trade will not be done.
Most importantly, the name of the East India Company also has a prefix, that is, the British, supporting the rebels of their own government, which is obviously not in the interests of the East India Company.
For the princes and nobles of India, the revival group is not a good thing, the revival of India is the business of these princes and nobles, your revival group jumps out, if it is really revived in the future, whose credit is it?
It is impossible to let the revival group give the credit to these princes and nobles.
Another important point is that what this revival group does, how did it start, the group of people in the revival group, to put it bluntly, is a group of thugs, thugs who robbed the landlords and nobles, look at the history of the revival group in the past few months, it is the blood of the landlords and nobles in India, let the princes and nobles of India cooperate with the revival group, and sell them food, unless the brains of this group of people are also pumped, otherwise individuals will not do this.
The way of outsourcing is a dead end, and the way of purchasing internally is similar, the revival regiment wants to maintain the supply of 150,000 troops, and maintain the supply of tens of millions of people on its own territory, except for armed looting, it seems that there is no other way to go.
The news of the revival group reached Yang Meng's hands, looking at the more than a dozen leaders of the revival group, and the analysis of the current situation, Yang Meng couldn't help laughing, these stupid calves really take the revival of India as their own responsibility, it seems that these fools still haven't let the world come back!
"There's a for saying that! Just rob him of the shit! ”
What is the responsibility of the revival group, how can it not be clear that Yang Meng built this thing himself? Is the Revival really reviving India? It's hard to say this explicitly, but the task of the revival group now is to intensify the contradictions in India on all fronts and plunge India into an extremely chaotic situation.
Buying grain, that is, the current Yunnan, is also in addition to exchanging clouds and smoke, that is, grabbing in the provinces of the Qing Dynasty and buying it in India? What are you kidding, with this spare money, the revival group might as well go to their side to buy arms.
That's what Yang Meng said, and the reply was also like this, Wei Huozi is now the supreme leader of the revival group, and the founders of the more than a dozen revival groups, in Wei Huozi's opinion, are the servants of the Yang family.
The revival group has robbed it, Yang Meng is not idle, the old arms accumulated by the Yang family should also be replaced, the flintlock pistol is outdated, firing rifled guns, the Yang family has also stored too much, the old-fashioned smoothbore gun is not much use, rather than returning to the furnace, it is better to hand it over to the Indian people and contribute to their national independence, after all, the Yang family's brown shell smoothbore guns account for the vast majority, and the Yang family's brown shell silk. Most of them are also Indian.
These are the things that condense the blood and sweat of Indians. It's better to leave it to them. In this way, the significance of the chronology is not small.
Now that the revival regiment is not in a sustained battle, Yang Meng also let the army of the revival regiment avoid big cities like Delhi, and now they are engaged in these big cities, although the chances of victory are not small. But the loss is even greater, instead of the ink around these big cities, it is better to rob the small towns and villages first, the landlords and nobles in these places, although they do not have much wealth in their hands, but they have a lot of them!
Moreover, small cities and villages and towns are also places where a large number of poor people gather, and the people of India are much more miserable than the people of the Qing Dynasty, and they not only have to be oppressed by the landlords and nobles. The Viceroy of India, the East India Company, exploited them everywhere.
Don't say anything else. Let's just talk about the famine in India! Is there no food in India? Of course not! It was the East India Company, which took most of the grain cheaply, which was the same as the status quo of the Qing Dynasty, not that there was no food, but that the food was not for the common people to eat.
Where there is exploitation, there is resistance, and the revival regiment took the route of being close to the people, and the well-dressed and dignified revival regiment soon made a name for itself in the plains of northern India.
From the deserted place to the rich land, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Indian Kuha Luha is the largest number of people, the so-called barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, once this barrel of fire. The medicine is ignited, and the power is quite terrifying.
Overnight, perhaps for dozens of nights, the northern plains of India sprang up countless rebel groups in the name of the Renaissance Group, whose ideas may be different from those of the Renaissance Group, but their methods of doing things are exactly the same, that is, looting.
Once the suppressed grievances are released, disaster will follow, these rebels are different from the revival group, the revival group will only find big landlords and big nobles, and these Indian people, regardless of these, as long as you are richer than me, you are the target.
Landlords, aristocrats, big families, and wealthy families were the targets of these people, and of course, the big and small merchants of England did not let go, from villages to towns, from towns to cities, these people, with their retaliatory plundering methods, ruined the reputation of the revival group in one fell swoop.
Massacre, rape. Lewd. The abduction and the ubiquity of the northern part of India, followed by the rise of vigilante groups that resisted the Baath Movement, are somewhat outrageous in the actions of these poor Indians.
When the army of the revival regiment arrives in these places, the organization of the poor people will not merge with the revival regiment, and after tasting the sweetness, it is the most terrifying time for these people.
"Put it on!"
Yang Meng's instructions on this matter are only three words, since it is to stimulate contradictions, it is necessary to do it in the big way, these mobs are the best targets for Yang Meng.
The people of India have also been suppressed for too long, whether it is the princes and nobles or the armed landlords, they are not very strong.
Because under the banner of the revival group, these people never clashed with the revival group, but frequently did business with the revival group, these mob organizations, at first, they also regarded gold, silver and grain as extremely important, but with the expansion of the scale of looting, whether it was gold, silver or food, it became a burden to them.
These people who resist the power of the force, but also the more they fight, the more chicken thieves, slowly they also realize the importance of weapons, these people fight an ordinary landlord, may pay thousands of casualties, meet a little resistance of the nobles, these people will be defeated at every turn, fighting a town killed and injured tens of thousands, it is not uncommon.
However, with their possessive appetite for food, gold and silver, and their hatred of the rich, these rebel groups, like the Renaissance Regiment, also became more and more powerful the more they fought.
The thirst for force has become a good reason for the Renaissance Group to blackmail these rebel groups, that is, blackmail! A bundle of sabers, tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, tens of thousands of catties of grain, and dozens of broken guns were the harvest of more than ten days of looting by these organizations.
The people of the revival group are also very generous, a few people with a hundred and ten sabers and dozens of broken guns, they can do business with these resistance organizations. Deliver the goods first, pay later, and the revival group has designated the location, and the rebel groups will send the food, gold and silver to the corresponding places.
The food belongs to the Fuxing Group, the gold and silver belong to Yang Meng, and the Fuxing Group has not encountered an organization that dares to attack them, but such a resistance organization, as long as it is played once, it will usher in the massacre of the Fuxing Group next.
Don't the common people kill the common people? The Renaissance Group gave these resistance groups a very clear answer, for the sake of 100 sabers and dozens of broken guns, the people of the Renaissance Group could slaughter a resistance group with tens of thousands of people, and other resistance groups around this organization would also follow suit.
Ten times or dozens of times the amount of money is the means of collecting the arrears of the revival group, and if the owner is not satisfied, the revival group will find the surrounding resistance organizations to collect this fee, reason? What kind of reasonable way is this?
The mob was cruel, and the revival group was even more cruel, and in a short period of time, the rebel groups in the northern plains learned how to do things, and they were honest with the revival group, and they did not dare to lack a penny of money that should be paid.
At the same time, they are also learning the cruelty of the revival group, and after being scraped clean by the revival group, these people will turn around and loot the landlords and nobles of India and the large and small merchants of England even more cruelly.
With Wei Huozi in India, stealing graves and digging graves has also become a shortcut for resistance organizations in various places to change weapons, and the violent people have no rationality at all. (To be continued......)
