A loud roar of "waste" exploded on the resplendent Jinluan Palace. A violent rage filled the hall. The old ministers below the main hall were silent and sat on the chairs in the main hall without saying a word. After Shi Tianming was kicked down the steps by Yongcheng, he got up with a blue nose and swollen face to maintain a half-kneeling posture, and lowered his head deeply.

Yongcheng said irritably: "I trust him so much and hand over the most elite troops to him, Sun Ze can't be forgiven for dying ten thousand times." At this time, a sturdy sixty-year-old man stood up from his chair and said, "Your Majesty, now, we need to contain the rebels in Huaibei, whose current range of activities has crossed the Huai River and appeared in northern Jiangsu at the same time. If it is not contained, with the combat effectiveness shown by these rebels, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Yongcheng said angrily: "What about the troops, you haven't solved the bandits in the south yet." Ma Aiqing, what you said is easy. Ma Xiang said: "Raise taxes, conscription." After Ma Xiang spit out these two words, a minister suddenly said: "The budget cannot be passed by the parliament." Ma Xiang said: "The empire is already in danger, please Your Majesty personally take charge of the military and activate the wartime system." ”

Someone next to him immediately said: "The ignorant and foolish people in the mountains are coerced, and they are suffering from ringworm and scabies." At this time, Yongcheng said coldly: "My sister, is it still a problem of ringworm and scabies to die at the hands of this gang of bandits?"

Suddenly, the military officials at the political table stood up in unison. "The country has reached the most dangerous time, and the empire should activate the wartime mechanism. ”

As an imperial officer, of course, he wanted to make a meritorious deed, and he asked the parliament for military expenses and ammunition without limits. However, the gentry and parliamentarians who managed the country's finances were very reluctant to cede power, and once the wartime system was activated, the imperial government had sole control over the finances and military power. When the power of the monarch swells, it will inevitably squeeze the power of the gentry.

The civil officials secretly cursed: "These Qiu Ba have climaxed. However, at this time, a female official like a secretary hurriedly sent a telegram to Yongcheng, and Yongcheng glanced at it and slapped the telegram on the conference table.

The telegram read: "There have been 100,000 troops of red bandits in Guiyang, well-equipped with a large number of rapid-fire weapons and various types of artillery, and the whole territory of Guizhou has fallen." "It can be seen from the map that after the entire territory of Guizhou Province was taken by the Red Republican Army, the Republican Army that was originally suppressed by the Ming Army in Sichuan, Hunan and Jiangxi regions is no longer a lone army pressed and beaten by the official army. One-third of the Ming Dynasty is no longer under the Sun and Moon.

And Daming had to fight on two fronts, because the base that Ren Di filmed in western Anhui was equivalent to directly shooting Nandu in the face. As for Zhao Weiguo's descendant army, the combat effectiveness can be described as explosive, almost a year of farming, Zhao Weiguo's factory developed step by step according to industrial standards, and quickly evolved the original colonial era base into an industrial base in the steam age. Plenty of bullet production lines, plenty of heavy artillery. This is already the level of firepower during the First World War. The local forces of the Ming army in Guizhou Province were simply unable to resist.

Zhao Weiguo's recruited soldiers and the soldiers recruited from their own position formed a powerful fighting force. Similarly, land reform was carried out. The powerful Zhao Weiguo did not consult with the local gentry at all. Directly confiscate the property, and then criticize the fight. Simple, direct, violent. Zhao Weiguo is not short of industrial talents, and he has evolved the Steam Age Technology Base many times in his previous missions. He has been preparing for this task of being promoted to lieutenant colonel for a long time. As for the talents of the old class in this plane, he can not be prepared at all to be directly selected from the bottom population after liberation, and then cultivated bit by bit.

The camera cuts, and in a room, Republican Army officers wearing camouflage uniforms and steel helmets occupy the council hall of the Guiyang Consultative Bureau, and the old men who used to be lively in the past watched this upheaval in horror at this time. Surrounded by guards and soldiers, Zhao Weiguo walked in.

"It's you," the lord in the council looked at Zhao Weiguo with a surprised and resentful expression as if he saw his beloved concubine eloping with the housekeeper. Zhao Weiguo, a big sum, came to Guiyang to set up an industry, and he was almost regarded as a fat sheep by the local lord in the past year.

In the words of the local lords, "I'm a local, and I have a hundred ways to make your factory untenable." "The position of the foreman needs to hire locals, and the price of mining is that the township lords under the banner of safeguarding local interests force Zhao Weiguo to hire the people they set for transportation. And raise wages, of course, part of the increase is siphoned off by the organizers. Even the ore was forcibly extorted.

Zhao Weiguo gave in for the first time, but later these landlords found that it seemed that this outsider was easy to bully, so they made trouble for Zhao Weiguo one after another. At first, it was at the instigation of outsiders to attack Zhao Weiguo, but later it was pure greed.

Zhao Weiguo looked at the people in the hall and smiled. The meaning of this smile is that I will spit out if I eat mine, and I will give me back what I have taken. At this time, a young man in a tunic forcibly stood up calmly. This young man's name is Zhao He, and he is also a local gentleman, but he studied abroad with Haisong and graduated from Haisong Wharton Business School. That is, he took Hai Song's capital requirements to inject into Zhao Weiguo's factory base.

Zhao He pushed his glasses to restrain his fear, and said in a gentle tone: "Your Excellency is also a famous local gentleman, why do you need to take this path." Zhao Weiguo said: "Why? For the money! ”

Zhao Weiguo's vernacular answer made these gentlemen speechless. You're a little too cheesy. Zhao He smiled awkwardly and said, "Are you joking?" Zhao Weiguo said with a sneer: "I didn't laugh. Lao Tzu earns money next to the steel stove every day, holding a wrench and working hard to debug the machine, while you can sit at home and enjoy the maid's service, drinking tea and coffee. Money, I feel very unbalanced. Your money doesn't come from the right place. ”

At this time, a chubby parliamentarian with a goatee clenched his fists and said, "Mr. Zhao, I have offended a lot before. Zhao Weiguo said: "You have offended not only me, but all those who work with hammers and sickles, and in the end wealth is provided to you." It's time to smash the world. ”

Zhao Weiguo pulled out the long sword at his waist, the blade shimmered, pointed at the people in the council steadily, and said, "Moths, the time has come to judge you. ”

"You crazy person surnamed Zhao, you think that you will win even if you do this, you thief, sooner or later the empire will break your body into ten thousand pieces" The incessant curse sounded in the council.

One by one, the parliamentarians who neglected to exercise were tied up like chickens, and they were beaten with a bloody face by the butt of a gun if they were not honest. It is ironic that a large square outside the parliament, which symbolizes the cooking, which used to be the place where the parliamentarians gave speeches, is now a high platform, and the platform for public hearings is raised high. A large number of workers and peasants, the untouchables in the eyes of the council lords, gathered under the stage and watched them being put on the judgment seat in the eyes of the once glorious and infinite.

The judge, who wore the party emblem with a sickle and a hammer, read out one by how these landlords enjoyed happiness at home without working to obtain property, how they used usury to force the common people to die, and how they organized gangsters to cut off the peasants' products in the countryside and sell them to the cities at high prices.

It is tolerable that the scissors are poor and fall into the state finances, and what cannot be tolerated is the misuse of state property by civil servants. The Ming Dynasty had a tradition of resisting taxes and rebelling against mine supervisors. But scissors are poor, and there are private factories that fall into their pockets and then pass them on from generation to generation, but it is rare for these literate people to publicize it.

For the first time, the peasants in the audience knew that they had suffered a loss. Anger is stirred up. Anger is contagious, and as the fear of the untouchables of yesteryear fades into their eyes, the councillors find themselves horrified to find themselves as if they only today know the people they once despised in the past.

Zhao He, a well-dressed young man, shouted loudly to Zhao Weiguo: "I have the nationality of Hai Song, you can't treat me like this." Zhao Weiguo saw that this had been a damn comprador for a year, and pouted and said, "Hey, we have no diplomatic relations with Hai Song." If you break the law, you will be punished. ”

The spectacular scene of criticism began.

The camera cuts to Huaibei. Judging from the current situation, land reform is already an irreversible tide. Why was the party# country pushed to the treasure island in the first place. Ren Di has heard such a statement: "This is because the Chinese have deeply wanted to get it without hard work, and the inferior nature has promoted this crazy robbery of the people at the bottom of the country, and the regression of civilization has been sad and sad." ”

Well, Ren Di is now with Tu Baozi, trying to understand the thoughts of Tu Baozi. There is a reason to refute this claim. The desire to rob and support the peasant revolution was not convincing at all. Ren Di's troops are now recruiting a large number of Huaibei peasants into the army, and if there is a desire to rob, among the three major # disciplines of the army, it is impossible to implement it without taking a stitch and a thread.

The peasant revolution was born out of fear. The literati who said that the peasants robbed did not understand at all what virtue the army they supported was. During the Huaibei Campaign, the local peasants did not stand on Ren Di's side at first, but how did the 50,000 militia organize when they finally attacked Fuyang? They are all imperial troops, and they have been forced out by bringing military disasters to the local areas.

The first time the Huaibei base area passed the army, the peasants would be on Ren Di's side, but what about the second and third times? The empire continued to send troops to make the locals suffer from the soldiers? Peasants with very simple ideas would wonder if it was really wrong for them to rebel.

The weapons and equipment could not be compared with the Imperial Army, and the Red Republican Army, which only relied on the intelligence superiority of the local peasants and logistical support to support the great victory, could not actually protect the local people. Therefore, in order for Huaibei to no longer become a battlefield, then it is necessary to expand the battlefield, carry out land reform in other places, and then wait for the imperial army and the homecoming regiment to come and force the people from other places to the republican army.

For the sake of power, Ren Di had to expand the land reform. In order to support the people who have already chosen to support themselves, the Republican Army must let the battlefield be carried out in a place that has not yet chosen itself, so after the establishment of the base area, as long as the enemy comes to encircle and suppress it, then the expansion of the base area must snowball and gradually grow. Putting aside the general principles of the party constitution, we should think from the perspective of pure interests and the attention of the peasants. The red regime was at this time in a constant struggle with the Ming Dynasty. It's a revolution. With the complete extinction of one side's economic system as the end point, there is absolutely no situation in which the river is divided and ruled by the river.

Therefore, after the Huaibei Campaign, the northern Anhui base area began to expand the field army to 40,000, with a total of four divisions, one of which crossed the Huai River and began to fight local tyrants and divide the land. And northern Jiangsu was gradually dyed red. Ren Di's troops were still aimed at the connection between the bones and muscles of the behemoth of the Ming Empire - the local gentry.

Ren Di's doing so greatly shocked and frightened the high-level ruling forces of the Ming Dynasty in the Southern Capital, which was close at hand. The situation of erosion in the southwest of the empire seems to be put aside, and the threat of frantic expansion in the northern Anhui base area is close at hand, which makes the old men of the Southern Capital Council feel like they are in their throats.

The empire quickly passed the war bill, and the expansion of the Ming Empire began.
