Li Liguo issued documents everywhere, calling on the people of all ethnic groups to revolt to overthrow Catherine II. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Over time, many poor peasants and Cossacks from the surrounding areas came to Li Liguo, and when these people saw the powerful rebel army led by the leader of Stalin, they were immediately full of confidence in victory!

Li Liguo did not hide his intention at all, and directly put his tens of thousands of troops on the surface, showing strong strength and self-confidence, and greatly encouraging the determination of the people everywhere to revolt!

Li Liguo, on the other hand, gathered the people who were willing to take refuge in the poor, and at the same time advanced towards the nearest important military town of the Russian Empire, the town of Yayik (Uralsk)!

There is a great shortage of artillery in Li Liguo, and there is a large population, in the Russian Empire, the aristocracy is a minority, and a large population means a large number of serfs and commoners, all of whom Li Liguo can fight for in the uprising!

There are too few people who have defected to him now, and there is no one to even form an infantry regiment, and even if Li Liguo wants to organize them into an army, he will not have weapons for them!

Fortunately, through the previous castle, Li Liguo's men and horses captured a lot of food, plus what they carried, eating was not a problem!

When Li Liguo's army came to Yayik Town, the defenders in the town were already on guard, they had ready-made fortifications, and dozens of artillery pieces to defend them, but there were a little few people......

When the defenders of the Russian Empire in the town of Yayik saw the overwhelming cavalry units and thousands of line infantry in phalanx, their confidence in resistance was greatly shaken!

At the same time, the poor people in Yayik Town saw that the rebel army was so powerful, and they also began to secretly communicate with Li Liguo's men.

Li Liguo asked the army to surround Yayike Town, and then sent envoys to persuade the Yayike Town City Defense Army, which had few defenders, Li Liguo's conditions were very tolerant, as long as they surrendered, he could not even rob the big landlords and nobles in the town, those reactionary rich people only need to take out a small amount of ransom money, of course, those serfs in their hands are bound to be liberated!

In doing so, those big landlords and nobles will naturally bleed profusely, and the serfs are their personal property!

If they were all free, it would be much greater than the loss of money!

However, if they don't surrender, the rebel army will inevitably raise the butcher's knife after breaking the city!

There are nearly 40,000 people on the other side!

Even if it's a pile of people, Yayik Town can't stop it!

Moreover, those upper-class people in Yayik Town have already felt the actions of the poor people below, if they really fight, it will definitely be a situation of internal and external troubles!

As long as the rebel army on the opposite side is willing to fight for losses and attack, Yayik Town will never be able to hold it!

After a day and a night of discussion, the upper echelons of Yayk finally overpowered their loyalty to the Empress of the Russian Empire, and in fact, their distress over the loss of wealth......

The town of Yayik raised the white flag, and those wealthy upper-class people watched Li Liguo's army enter the town and seal up the artillery and other warehouses.

To the reassurance of the upper echelons of Yayk Town, the leader of the rebel army named Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin kept his promise, and did not ask for money at all, except for a large amount of food and grass for them!

Li Liguo is not those toiling people, one by one when he sees these noble lords who have oppressed them, he can't wait to pull them all out and click, and those treasures in the noble lord's house, the rebel soldiers from poor people have never seen in their lives, they will naturally grab their eyes......

The power of the people at the bottom is very great, but this era is not the 20th century, and intellectuals are still hidden among the people.

In this era, not to mention knowledgeable, basically as long as you are not illiterate, almost all of them are rich!

The commoners and serfs at the bottom are completely a bunch of illiterate mud legs!

These barefoot mud-legged people who are not afraid of wearing shoes may be able to fight with ease, but if these mud-legged people are allowed to manage the place, it is better to let the former corrupt officials continue to act as agents!

Rich people are a group that can burst out with great power in any era, so Li Liguo does not want to completely push the entire aristocratic class and the big landlord class into opposition to himself, and the entire group of rich people in the Russian Empire.

Li Liguo wanted to set up an image of a rational leader of the uprising at the beginning, and these nobles who surrendered in Yayik Town were Li Liguo's example of showing his benevolent side to the outside world, and he wanted to tell the nobles and big landowners in the Russian Empire that he was not the brainless mud legs of the previous peasant uprisings, who robbed the rich when he met them, and killed the nobles when he saw them, as long as he was willing to obey him and contribute the most basic loyalty, he would generously spare these noble-born people!

Not all the nobles and large landowners supported Catherine II!

In layman's terms, between the two options of loyalty and survival when their lives are threatened, how many nobles can choose to remain loyal to Catherine II?

Unless these nobles and big landowners are cornered by the rebels, and if they are caught, they will be sentenced to death!

This is also a common problem of peasant uprisings in the past, the wanton massacre of the upper classes!

Whether in the East or in the West, peasant uprisings rarely come to fruition, and a large part of the reason is that the vast majority of peasant rebels have completely pushed the rich class to the opposite of death!

The occupation of Yayk not only allowed Li Liguo's army to obtain much-needed artillery and food and grass supplements, but also set the tone for Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin's image of sanity and benevolence!

With the fermentation of time, it is believed that the nobles and large landowners in other parts of the Russian Empire will understand that Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin is not an absolute enemy, and it is negotiable!

This image of Li Liguo rising up was of little use when he was weak, and no nobleman or big landowner would turn to the loser, however, once Li Liguo really rose to become an existence that could not be ignored, his initial benevolence would become his greatest guarantee to replace the Russian Empress Catherine II!

The empire, after all, will still be in the hands of a few, this is a trend of this era, the people at the bottom only have the will to resist, but there is no real thought and 'routine' to guide, even if the uprising is successful, the peasant uprising that will not govern the country will quickly collapse!

It was not until the rise of the French Revolution that the power of the people really awakened!

After more than ten days of combing, the town of Yaik has truly become the first stronghold of the rebel army! (To be continued.) )
