Chapter 92: The War of Unification (3)

Just when Shanglu, the most important external city in the Daqing Dynasty, was captured by the army of the Taiping Society with minimal losses.

On the southeast coast of Shenzhou, the Daqing Naval Division, which was stationed in the three ports of Guangfu, Dengzhou, and Hailan, was also directly destroyed by air raids under the absolute air superiority of the Taiping Society.

After Hong Tiangui came to this world, he prepared his family foundation for a whole ten years, and more than 500,000 soldiers from across the sea came over, and after a short repair in the Ryukyus, the soldiers of the Taiping Unification Army were imposing and ready to go, and landed on the Shenzhou continent from these three regions.

These warriors, all of whom were born from the poor lower class of Shenzhou above the ninth floor, may never have imagined that they would return to this hometown of their birth in such an identity, as a liberator and conqueror, when they were deceived and expelled from this ancient land in their early years.

Moreover, since the center of Daqing was almost wiped out by Hong Tiangui, there was almost no decent resistance in the coastal provinces of Daqing.

Without the Yin and Yang Talismans issued by the imperial court, the local government would not have been able to order the local armed forces such as the Green Battalion soldiers and the Braided Warriors to form a unified overall defense line.

In many cases, the Taiping Unification Army had already arrived in the city, and the local county officials, the green battalion generals, and the pigtailed people were arguing endlessly about who would be in charge of the army and who would be in charge of logistics, and once they reported to the imperial center, they would inevitably receive telegrams demanding surrender.

This incomparably chaotic situation lasted for four months.

In the past four months, the vast land of Shenzhou can be said to have changed color, and among the 51 provinces in Daqing, 17 provinces near the sea were almost taken by the Taiping Unification Army in a way of armed demonstration.

Never overestimate the power of a grassroots official who has taken the foolish people as his national policy and has been corrupting a foreign dynasty for three hundred years.

The vast majority of the local officials in Daqing, who were mediocre to the local level, completely relied on the master and the local officials, and the moment they saw the mighty steel army of the Taiping Society, they were frightened and dizzy, and after sending a telegram to the imperial court and receiving their will to surrender, they surrendered directly without thinking about it.

Even if he came back to his senses afterwards and realized that something was wrong, when he turned his head to look at the Taiping army that had already entered the city, he only felt that it was too late.

A small number of officials who had a little brains because of their family background and background surrendered because they did not have the will of the imperial court, and when they judged that they did not have the authority and prestige, they hurriedly took their cronies and domestic servants and fled to the provinces behind the border of Daqing in a panic.

It was precisely because of the decisive escape of these "smart people" that the governors and governors of Daqing in the thirty-four provinces in the rear obtained enough evidence of foreign invasion and the fall of Jingshi.

The ministers who can sit in a province to seal the territory are naturally not idiots, and those treacherous and cunning feudal social elites directly gave up wireless telegraphy, and used some extraordinary folk means to spread the message on the ancient galloping horse, and when the Beijing division fell, a few braided people who were patrolling the inland places were the main monarchs, and reluctantly organized several "Daqing multi-province self-protection alliances" to jointly resist the invasion of the Taiping Society.

At this time, the Taiping Society also suspended the pace of the offensive.

Because the vast land of Shenzhou is really too big, just the small half of Daqing occupied by the Taiping Society, the combined area of the 17 coastal provinces has exceeded 18 million square kilometers, which is nearly twice as large as the Celestial Empire in Hong Tiangui's previous life.

In addition to the relatively developed economy of these coastal provinces and their own large populations, until now, without counting the hidden slaves hidden by the grassroots landlords, the Taiping Society alone has integrated the normal population on the yellow books of the local government and government, and there are more than 260 million people.

With hundreds of thousands of imperial commanders and hundreds of millions, it can be said that the situation faced by the Taiping Society now is almost no different from the situation faced by the braided people after entering the customs.

It's just that Emperor Taizu, who had braided his hair back then, chose to unite with the gentry and landlords of Shenzhou and not to infringe on their interests, so as to obtain the support of the old literati and the old landlords, and ruled this huge and ancient country in accordance with the order.

But now, will the Taiping Society, headed by Hong Tiangui, choose to unite with the gentry and landlords of Shenzhou again?

Of course it is impossible to drop!

"Kyushu is angry and thunderous, and it is sad for all the horses."

"I am vigorous for the heavens, and the mountains and rivers are prosperous!"

Two lines of huge red slogans hang horizontally on the streets of Renjia Town.

Half a month ago, after the Taiping army passed through this ancient town, the Renjia Town Office on this street was changed to the Renjia Town Government of the Taiping Society with the arrival of the young people in the mouths of the eight old people in the town.

At this moment, in the conference room of the town government, these eight young people sat together, they were all wearing Zhongshan suits and the emblem of the Taiping Society pinned to their chests, discussing together how to carry out the orders issued by the Central Committee of the Taiping Association.

"Comrades, have you finished informing the few landlords and gentry in the town?"

Li Huawei, who spoke as the leader, was a squad leader of the Taiping Unification Army a month ago.

It's just that with Hong Tiangui's order, he directly transferred from military to civil affairs, and with a junior high school degree from the Taiping Society in later cultures, he became the mayor of this ancient town.

"Mayor Li Huawei, we have been notified that our Taiping Society will buy their land at 1.5 times higher than the market price!"

A tall and thin young man sitting on Li Huawei's lower left hand looked at the work book in his hand and responded.

Compared to another Celestial Empire plane, the means of land transformation of this space-time Taiping Society are much more peaceful.

Of course, this kind of peaceful style is also based on the good moral character of the parties themselves, if the landlords and gentry in Renjia Town are the kind of people in other areas who do all kinds of evil and oppress their neighbors, then it is needless to say that the soldiers of the Taiping Army directly came to the airship for air raids, and then "complained about the grievances" and "public trials" together.

But because there is a decent and chivalrous Maoshan Taoist priest Lin Jiu in the town, the landlords and gentry in this town understand the truth that there are gods in their heads, so they have always had a bottom line, and their behavior is not as bad as that of the landlords and gentry in other places, and it is not easy for the Taiping Society to directly use extreme measures.

The Peace Society, which had received the colonial heritage of Nagar, was also short of gold and silver, so for this kind of landlord and gentry of good character, the local land reform was done through redemption.

"How did they react?"

"At first, I was a little hesitant, but after Ren Tingting, the head of the Ren family, agreed with our policy, they all agreed."

The words of the tall and thin young man made Mayor Li Huawei nod with satisfaction.

In fact, the Taiping Society did not care how much gold and silver was used to buy land, because the Naga side was already using paper money, and the "gold and silver" thing, at least within the Taiping Society, had withdrawn from the monetary function, and as long as it was not lost in large quantities, it was not a big deal.

And as long as the land is in hand, what to do next is a matter of the Taiping Society's order.

Directly change the attributes of the land and turn it into state-owned land, and then you can divide the land and divide the land to the ordinary poor to win the hearts of the people, and at that time, even if the ideas of revolution and progress have not spread widely for the time being, they can still win the support of the broadest class above Shenzhou.

"How's the town's recruiting order?"

Mayor Li Huawei looked at his right hand, where was the captain of the town's militia team, and he had led soldiers in the Taiping Unification Army.

"Comrade Mayor of the town, after the people were assigned the fields, they were very enthusiastic to join the army."

"All of the 200 places in our town have been filled!"

The militia captain's expression was uplifted, and his words made all the young Taiping comrades in the conference room smile.

Through the internal organs of the Taiping Association and sent to local governments, they all knew that the reason why the Taiping Unification Army had stopped now was because the number of troops was too small.

The more than 500,000 Taiping unification troops occupied 17 provinces and achieved relatively efficient rule in most areas through various means beyond the times, which is already the limit of what can be achieved at the present stage.

Their current recruitment work is related to the process of the next all-out reunification war.

As soon as possible, it is necessary to gather soldiers with qualified physiques and enough materials for the next war, and it is best to launch a further all-out war again at lightning speed before the "self-protection alliance" formed by the old magnates of Daqing is ready, so as to completely liberate the whole Shenzhou······
