Chapter 63: Destroying the Foundation
Before entering the world of legendary continuation, Ren Di measured the combat effectiveness of two armies, and it was often a simple and naΓ―ve method for one soldier of our army to be able to fight several enemy soldiers. But Ren Di entered the world of legendary continuation, and after a year of various wars, he understood how layman this comparison was.
Even soldiers in the information age could not stop a bullet fired in the 19th century. A well-trained army with discipline and organizational strength is based on the ability of non-commissioned officers from the grassroots to the high-level commanders.
Immature, Ren Di's evaluation of his current army is immature. Such an army, which had just been transformed from a peasant into a warrior, had not yet been forged by the flames of war, and was only a blank. The army in the red zone of Dabie Mountain is not a division of a hundred battles. Ren Di couldn't be clearer about the weakness of the army at hand.
These weaknesses cannot be compensated for by an injection of combat ideas. In the same way, Ren Di also understands what kind of army his opponent's army is. The Ming Guards Legion is stationed in the southern capital of Gyeonggi, and all weapons and equipment are looking at the Hai Song Ace Legion, and there are cannon howitzers. And last week, it began to imitate the Haisong army, introducing the aircraft that had just begun to develop into the army. As for the soldiers, they were all taken from the children of good families, and there were brothers in the family who helped to take care of their old parents. The soldiers were trained under the direct supervision of the royal members and were well trained.
For such an enemy army with high salaries and high morale and superior weapons, Ren Diman was full of calculations, if the army on hand went up to fight with them at the battle level, then the eight achievements were to send military merits to the masters of the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty.
If it weren't for this army taking the initiative to press up, Ren Di would definitely not want to fight with the Ming Third Army now. According to Ren Di's plan, the strength will not be twice as strong as others, and the offensive and defensive technology will not climb to a level higher than the enemy, Lao Tzu will be dragging around the place to play tower defense with you, waiting for you to send it in waves.
Well, the Ming generals who have been trained by the modern military of the Hai and Song Dynasty did not engage in any tactics to add fuel as Ren Di thought. Maybe it was Li Ziming in the south that they played too hard, and the Ming army began to be serious about Ren Di's troops close at hand, and as soon as they came up, they mobilized the elite central army to launch an attack on Ren Di.
Just when Nandu mobilized the Third Army and prepared a large amount of supplies, Zhao Weiguo sent an encrypted telegram to Ren Di, asking Ren Di to maintain his vitality as much as possible and contain the enemy army. Always ready to move in. Well, Ren Di's immediate boss is not optimistic about Ren Di either.
The transfer means that the living military force can be preserved, but it also means that the system established by Ren Di in the Dabie Mountains will be completely destroyed under the fires of war. Ren Di is really reluctant to do this. In particular, I swore to these mountain people that after no oppression, I would lead everyone to live better, and this time I ran away when I met the enemy and left the mountain people under the ravages of the enemy army. Ren Di, who has high intelligence, really can't make this decision in this emotional aspect.
According to Sun Tzu's Art of War, there will be five dangers of death, killing and living, capturing and anger, insulting and incorruptible, insulting and loving the people, and annoying. Ren Di now understands that he has committed the last one. As a general, sometimes you have to make cold-blooded trade-offs. But Ren Di really can't do it. A few months ago, in the face of the simple mountain people, they stayed together, ran education, worked and produced together, organized military training together, and told the children sitting in class writing on wooden boards with clay pens about the promise of a better future. Even normal people have to be distracted, not to mention that Ren Di is not normal now.
What kind of army is the Ming army? And what was the will of the Ming Dynasty? At the top of the monarchy, the empire will never tolerate rebellion, because once it is tolerated, it means that the emperor can be challenged, and the foundation of the rule will be shaken. What will happen when the mountain people who are not protected by an army are attacked by such an army, Ren Di can predict what will happen with a pig's brain.
Therefore, in the battle, you must fight with all your might, and take a group of rookie troops under your command to drag a high-level army on the opposite side to a low level of the same level as yourself. Let the opposite side not enjoy the advantage of fighting on the inside line.
The normal walking speed of a normal person is about three to four kilometers per hour, and for an army that is all young men, the normal walking speed is four kilometers, the standard of forced marching, the weight is twenty kilograms, and the speed of seven kilometers per hour can be called forced marching. Fighting a war is a science, and what a soldier cannot do, he must avoid as much as possible, and he must give full play to what he can.
The war that Ren Di is going to fight now is the battle mode that the Nandu group of officers who were born in science and were not seen in books under the influence of the Hai Song Dynasty's idea of the supremacy of firepower and courage.
When the 30,000 troops of the southern capital jumped over the Jiangdong. The land of Huoqiu County ushered in the footsteps of an army of 5,000 people. Twenty kilograms of weight consisted of 4.2 kilograms with a bayonet rifle full weight, five days of dry food with pickle oil and rice. Three white-haired bullets. and a metal box, and other miscellaneous things. Since there is no heavy firepower, with the Dabie Mountain base area as the center, Ren Di's light infantry, which emphasizes high mobility, will cover the entire Huaibei region, eastern Hubei, southern Henan, and the Jianghuai region.
The compound of the Chen family, a large household in Huoqiu County, was blown up by 80 heavy mortars. Built 60 years ago, the fortress-style compound was built with a lot of explosives, and the walls of the mansion were built of thick blue bricks, and the walls collapsed one side after another. A large number of people were stoned to death.
The Chen family seems to have a good reputation in this place, but for the people on the plains, the mountainous area where Ren Di's base is located means poverty, and there are many bandits in the mountains, and this compound is full of villagers who are grateful to the Chen family. When Ren Di's army attacked, the resistance in the fortress was very stubborn, and several front-loading guns were even pushed out of the wall.
In the face of such a thorn, Ren Di was not willing to waste time here at all, the 80 mortar was adjusted at a distance of 500 meters, and the optical sight made of glass was accurately optically measured, and Ren Di was not asked how to get this set of optical equipment. For Ren Di, who has a softening force field, glass crystal processing and polishing are like painting scoops according to the gourd.
After ten minutes of firing, all the high ground on this house, which Ren Di considered a threat, was scrapped one by one by the curve ballistics. The people who were guarding the Chen family were not the army after all, and the battles they participated in were at most fighting with the big families in the neighboring villages to grab water and fight for the division of land boundaries. Two shots are fired in each fight, and then they slash each other. In the face of professional killing, it is not enough to qualify. After the bombing, the house was stormed by the Red Army and the recruited masses.
Of course, after the attack, something happened that gave Ren Di and the officers a headache, that is, the masses who rushed in gave full play to the characteristics of the lumpenproletariat. After entering the mansion, he began to move his hands and feet to the ladies in the mansion.
When the grassroots of the army embarrassed to inform Ren Di of these things, Ren Di's plan to deal with it was very straightforward and simple -- molesting him, and reforming through labor in order to commit serious crimes. Those who have already committed a crime shall be killed. Of course, this is very inauthentic in the eyes of most soldiers whose minds have not yet been converted. There is a kind of appearance that ruthlessly abandons people when they run out.
"You guys, anti-bones, Lao Tzu is selling your life to you, isn't it just trying to be happy."
"Master Jun, I helped you, and I brought you into the Chen family."
All kinds of invective is abused among the detainees. Some soldiers did not even dare to make eye contact with the prisoners.
Ren Di frowned, now the Daming rural problem is the most complicated problem. I have to say that some of these peasants who followed themselves into the mansion were second-rate people in the village who were lazy and idle. This kind of person is excluded from the countryside managed by the Ming squire. The hard-working peasants, relatively speaking, the squires are more general. Because of the comparison, these hard-working peasants did not realize that they were being oppressed. And those peasants who don't have a good impression of the squire, most of them are not close to the squire in blood, or the ancestral property of one acre and three points of land is Jianbin. And a small part of them are lazy and stealing. The consequences of allowing this part of the population to infiltrate the grassroots rule in the red zone and gain a small amount of power are unimaginable.
Ren Di said to Zhang Youhe: "You know what to do in the following work." Jang You-hyuk saluted and said, "Who is our friend and who is our enemy." The purpose of our revolutionary struggle is to throw off the shackles of the common people, not to beat the exploiters and bring another wave of bad guys to power. Stealing, robbing, raping, and killing for personal gain are all bad people. Zhang Youhe glanced at the group of people on the stage who were scolding and scolding, and said with a sneer: "They violated our rules and should be killed." β
Zhang Youhe was able to say this, purely because of Ren Difa's red treasure book. Another brainwashed fool, but Ren Di feels that it is much more comfortable to be with these fools with cute ideals than with the group of crazy people in Miyana. I can sleep peacefully among fools.
Zhang Youhyuk's words, along with the ideological work of the political commissars, quickly stabilized the mood of the army, and some of the original feelings of guilt for betrayal disappeared from the simple-minded soldiers' thoughts. The concept of class was formed in the minds of the soldiers. Anyone who is not of the same class as himself, even if he used to be called a brother, is disguised as a person who has entered our ranks, and he should be killed.
At the public trial meeting, the first to be shot were this wave of dishonest people who broke into the landlord's house. The second is to start criticizing the Chen family. This kind of criticism is a bit like the Red Army is stirring up and planting false accusations. But if it is really the people of the 21st century who are in the position of peasants, they will definitely be unfair: "Why are you born to call us?" Lao Tzu was born to be a long-term worker hired by your family. But for the good peasants who have been oppressed for a long time, this kind of criticism of the great good people who cut the land rent at every turn and start a righteous study seems a bit cruel.
But human beings also have a characteristic, which is to be cheap and not to take advantage of the bastard. From the beginning of the door-to-door distribution of grain from the landlord's house, the burning of usurious IOUs, and even the beginning of the action of dividing the land, the slightest discomfort of the peasants disappeared under the instigation of interests.
Divide the land, burn the usury IOUs, divide the grain, all this is to do one thing, go up and kick the landlord, spit on the landlord. One farmer did not do so, and when the distribution of grain was cancelled, the farmer did not compromise on this step.
The farmers in the countryside do not know what the consequences will be if they do so. When the old system accumulates and passes on the high authority from generation to generation, and is spurned, the authority of the inheritance is no longer authority. If the landlord wanted to re-establish his authority in the villages, he had to re-establish it with the punishment of blood. The countryside under the gentry system has been divided. A century-old family in the countryside, the big landlords were born with a high position, and they were completely trampled on.
Perhaps the means are not just enough, and the peasants, who have been filled with servile thinking by the landlords from generation to generation, cannot understand the justice that Ren Di thinks everyone is equal. Not to mention what is justice?
Ren Di asked himself: "Justice is not a fixed standard at all, but the trend of the progress and development of human society. A society with maids, servants, and masters is replaced by a society in which everyone is equal in personality and serves each other equally, which is justice. Even if the former is praised as a pastoral society, and the latter is contemptuously called a money society, those who dare to let this trend go against the grain are evil. β
The three large landlords in Huoqiu County were quickly defeated within three days, and the peasant association was established. A crude peasant union system was established. The family cooperative contract system replaces the original family business agricultural production model.
Originally, the agricultural production mode of the Ming Dynasty was that the landlord purchased mechanized machinery and implemented agricultural production in the way that the management company paid the peasants' wages. Now it is 10 families who have been allocated land to work together to produce together.
From an economic point of view, it is this kind of agricultural production that is backward. Large-scale corporate agricultural production was re-transformed into a small-scale peasant economy. But sometimes there are things that can't be calculated economically.
In the twenty-first century, agricultural production in the United States is large-scale mechanized agricultural production, unified mechanized arable land, sowing, assembly line production like the entire land of the Great Plains to grow the same crops, and harvest at the same time. It is not a lie that one American can produce the grain produced by a dozen or so Chinese peasants. There are only a handful of people in the whole of America who grow food. From the perspective of the United States, China's agricultural model is undesirable. Too much manpower is consumed.
But from the Chinese's point of view, the Yankees are tyrannical to the good land. It is true that an American farmer produces more grain than a Chinese farmer, but the crops produced on the same land are not as many as those produced in China. In the 21 st century, China, which has less arable land than the United States, has surpassed the United States in terms of total agricultural output, and the aquatic products grown in ponds account for 60 or 70 percent of the world's total. In agriculture, the knowledge of raising fish fry and sending fish ponds and feeding fish bait to prevent diseases is only as profound as that studied in China. This is undoubtedly also labor-intensive.
Hai Song is now more people and less land, their production mode is a plantation type, in the early days of the Hai Song Dynasty several veterans who specialized in agriculture, in the Nanyang production mode. This agricultural model was quickly learned by the Ming gentry.
Now Ren Di is just spreading this knowledge further to every peasant family. Farming for others and farming for oneself are two kinds of working feelings.
In the rural areas of Huoqiu County, the Red Army in the Dabie Mountains only completed the task of tearing apart the rural society, and most of the landlords who lost their land were expelled and exiled. However, the Red Army, which had completed the task of dividing the land, did not obtain a supply of troops in the countryside.
Such a barbaric rural policy is still for the sake of victory in the final analysis. The land reform work was launched at the same time as the Huaibei Campaign was carried out. The actions of the Red Army seemed to have stimulated the Ming Third Army. This army is rapidly moving north.
And Ren Di was also in a land temple, talking with the generals.
Ren Di: "Mushroom tactics, under the conditions that the terrain and the masses are favorable, in view of the enemy's eagerness to seek a decisive battle with our psychology, with small troops to deal with the enemy, exhausted, hungry and trapped the other side, and the main force to wait in concealment, not arrogant or impatient, when the enemy is very tired and isolated, concentrate the main force to annihilate each one. Now the gentry system in the Ming Dynasty is being destroyed by us at a rapid pace. With the Ming Dynasty's weak control at the local level, we gradually gained a mass base. In this war, the forces of both the enemy and the enemy will gradually change. β
