After a series of victories from the 61st year of the Han Dynasty to the beginning of the 62nd year of the Han Dynasty, the Han army's offensive gradually became weak, and most of Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan and other places were occupied by the Han army.

Therefore, including the Beijing-Tianjin area, the Han army began to consolidate the results of the war in the occupied areas, vigorously agitated the idea of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty, and encouraged the Han people to join the army, and used the information that the secret service had probed for many years to vigorously purge the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

In order not to excessively irritate the Han gentry class, although Zhao Dutian showed mercy to their subordinates, in order to stabilize the security of the occupied areas, he did not send troops to raid the homes of the Han gentry on a large scale!

However, the Han army treated those Manchu officials mercilessly!

The Manchu Empire adhered to the tradition of combining government and business in China over the ages, and almost every big merchant had the support of court officials behind it, and even many merchants were simply the assets of the officials themselves!

Therefore, every time the Han army captured a city or county, it would forcibly confiscate the assets of Manchu officials!

This approach of the Han army is understandable, the rebels of the past dynasties, those who can succeed will certainly treat the literati preferentially, but there are few preferential treatment for the officials of the previous dynasty, of course, this does not include the officials of the former dynasty who took the initiative to surrender!

It's just that the strength of the Han army is superb, and there is no need to accept the surrender of those fat Manchu officials, just fight all the way!

The overall resources of these Manchu officials may not be as large as those of the Han gentry, but the personal size of the Manchu bureaucrats is definitely much larger than that of the Han gentry in the countryside!

Whether it was land or cash, the Han army was richly rewarded for the raids of Manchu officials!

The soldiers of the Han army only need two taels of silver, and the shops and fields obtained from the stolen homes have naturally become the support of the Han army to form the security forces of the Han New Army!

It is true that the total amount of land and property copied by Manchu officials was far less than that of the entire Han gentry and landlord class, but the size of the new Han army did not need to be too large, as long as it was enough to maintain local law and order!

The primary goal now is to bring down the Manchu Empire, not to carry out land reform!

Zhao Dutian used the easy-to-understand and easy-to-win strategy of dividing the land and dividing the land, and a bunch of flintlock pistols eliminated by the Han Empire, without spending much cost, to pull up a large number of new Han troops in the nature of local security forces, and also to win over the first batch of beneficiaries of the Han policy on the land of China!

This is crucial!

Those Han people are very numb to the loyalty of the Manchu Empire, but it does not mean that the Han army from overseas can get much support from the Han people!

And the soldiers of the Han New Army are recruited from the Han people, and the distribution of land that is very important to the Han people will naturally win the support of the families of the soldiers of the New Army!

At the very least, these Han soldiers and their families who have acquired land will stand on a united front with the Han army in order to protect their land!

In this way, the Han Kingdom gradually began to gain a firm foothold in the land of China!

Of course, the Manchu Empire is not waiting to be killed, after all, Emperor Qianlong is still a clear-headed emperor, and now he has not reached the point of being dizzy, and the bed is still very powerful......

Under the great rejuvenation of Emperor Qianlong, those local squires who were ambitious and wealthy began to respond!

With the wealth accumulated in the family for generations, and the propaganda copy of Emperor Qianlong's holy decree, the prestige of the local squires can go back to their hometowns to bring their tenants, relatives and friends, private school students, students, students, friends, relatives, etc., with the relationship ties of these villagers, the local prestige squires quickly pulled up hundreds of people, as large as thousands of people!

These local squires also know that the enemies they face are not easy to mess with, so those squires with less strength will generally unite a few people to organize group training, or simply take refuge in the big group training and mix up an official position!

Being an ordinary squire is very different from being a member of a regimental training!

In fact, in the Manchu Empire, the landlords' families are basically Confucianists, all of whom have read, in this society where the imperial examination is the royal way, as long as the family has money, they will support their children to study, and study hard for ten years, just for the title of the gold list!

Naturally, the richer the landlords, the more children they trained, and even many gentry opened their own private schools, educating a large number of high-achieving students from poor families linked by the friendship between teachers and students!

In the Manchu era, the relationship between teachers and students was second only to the blood relationship between parents, and if students disrespected their teachers, they would be poked in the backbone by their neighbors to death!

Even a high-ranking person like the emperor would not dare to be disrespectful to his mentor when he was a child!

After many emperors ascended the throne, they would put their teachers in a very high position, and offer them high, not to mention how much power this emperor's teacher had, the word 'emperor teacher' alone could make his compulsion rise several times out of thin air!

Therefore, most of these gentry are naturally local Confucian students, at least it is not a problem to take the test for a show!

Moreover, when this person has culture, his mind is bright, and there is an essential difference between educated and uneducated!

This difference can not be seen in the society of universal education in later generations, no matter how poor people can graduate from primary school, so the common people are basically enlightened in later generations, but in the Manchu Empire, people who have primary school graduation standards in later generations can all be standard readers, and they can also be reluctantly called Confucianism!

These local Confucian scholars were themselves gentry and landlords, and after they became regimental generals, they began to use their connections to recruit soldiers!

Every big landlord and small landlord gentry has its own tenants, and the regimental training is not only based on prestige, but also on how many soldiers you can recruit!

These soldiers are not funded by the imperial court, but recruited the regimental training generals to provide for them!

The Confucian students who act as generals have classmates, teachers and students, relatives and friends with the boss above, and then these generals recruit soldiers through their own relationships, because the recruitment and salary of the soldiers are completely self-raised, the soldiers of these Confucian generals are basically no different from private soldiers, plus they are all gathered through their own connections, it can be said that they naturally have a sense of intimacy, and all of them are comparable to the existence of family members!

The regimental training uses the Confucian three outlines and five constants of etiquette, the hierarchy of respect and inferiority, and the local concept of the same villagers to maintain the officers and soldiers, which can be said to be both glory and loss!
