Wanli 1592

Chapter 870 So I Can Only Ask Them To Die

On November [-], a month had passed since Chen Lin and Li Wenyuan, the leader of the Xuanwu Battalion, captured the whole of Fujian.

Their soldiers and horses have also expanded from [-] to nearly [-], and all the official forces in Fujian have been wiped out. The Burmese officials who came with the Zhennan Army and the land reform officials are gradually establishing a relatively stable rule here.

But just over a month ago, Fujian was not like this. Chen Lin and Li Wenyuan, who captured the entire territory of Fujian, were dizzy and dizzy because of the successive rebellions of big households. The department's request for help is also powerless and exhausted.

Although they successfully disintegrated the ruling power of the Ming government in Fujian, they later discovered that it was not the small Ming government that was really difficult to deal with, but the real local rulers, those who directly controlled manpower and material resources. The wealthy gentry.

They controlled almost all the land, population and wealth. The three big families that Chen Lin and Li Wenyuan wiped out when they first arrived became the reason for their break with the Zhennan Army. He led his own tenant family Ding to raise troops to rebel, which was called the imperial court's suppression of the rebellion.

Although they are far inferior to the Zhennan Army in terms of combat effectiveness, they are superior in that they have a large number of people. Often in some small counties, their troops cannot beat the regiments of the big gentry, and the cities they occupy have been taken back. The situation in Fujian At stake, the two were helpless.

Chen Lin and Li Wenyuan fell into the vast ocean of the people's war, but it was not the revolutionaries who started the war, but the revolutionaries.

This is somewhat ironic.

This situation was maintained until the land reform team sent by Xiao Ruxun arrived.

The first batch of land reform working groups consisted of two teams, with a total of 100 people. The two leading team leaders were Chen Xiu and Wang Yong. Starting from Zhangzhou Prefecture, the two working groups set off a wave of land reform that stunned Chen Lin and Li Wenyuan.

They had Xiao Ruxun's order in their hands, asking Chen Lin and Li Wenyuan to deploy troops to assist them no matter what, so Li Wenyuan handed over the most elite 1000 people under his command, and they relied on the land reform working group of 100 people and the elite of 1000 people The troops turned Zhangzhou Mansion upside down in a daze.

Seven or eight big families in Zhangzhou Prefecture were destroyed and uprooted for this reason. A few people tried to escape to the sea. When he came back, he brought him back to Zhangzhou and beheaded him to show the public.

Zhangzhou's tenants, poor peasants, and hooligans became agitated. The armed forces of the rich and powerful gentry were easily disintegrated, and they were even hit by a counterattack. In less than ten days, Zhangzhou Mansion was completely controlled by them.

The peasant association was established, and more than [-]% of the peasant households joined. They enthusiastically delivered food and drink to the Zhennan army, and even voluntarily handed in the agricultural tax for this year, which left Chen Lin and Li Wenyuan dumbfounded.

After Zhangzhou Mansion, the land reform work was in full bloom. It happened that the second batch of 150 people from the land reform working group arrived at this time. The meritorious Chen Xiu and Wang Yong became the team leaders and arranged for their men to rush to each state capital, Quanzhou Mansion, and Tingzhou Mansion. , Xinghua Mansion, Fuzhou Mansion, Yanping Mansion, Shaowu Mansion, Funing Mansion...

The brutality of the land reform work stunned the army. After Chen Lin and Li Wenyuan went to the countryside to observe a land reform work in person, they said that they had been strongly impacted. Just fighting.

This is a battlefield in another sense. Perhaps it can be said that this is the real battlefield that can really solve the troubles of the rich and wealthy gentry.

They are just making small noises, they go wherever they get up to suppress the rebellion, the land reform working group is not, the land reform working group makes trouble wherever they go, the big tyrants have not made trouble or have no intention of making trouble at all, they are destroyed by the land reform The working group was uprooted.

Not even begging for mercy.

Because Xiao Ruxun ordered that the situation in Fujian is particularly bad, and they should be treated differently. If these wealthy gentry can kill him, they will never let him live.

After all, when the Japanese pirates were fighting back then, in order to attack the Shanxi merchant faction in power in the central government, the big merchants in Zhejiang and Fujian made a lot of "efforts".

These guys are deeply entrenched, and none of them are easy to provoke. If you don’t uproot them, they will stop the government from doing anything in the future. What the Ming government competes with them is not just the right to rule, but more important Ownership of population and land resources.

What Xiao Ruxun wants is a big government, but these people only allow a small government above them to serve them. Therefore, the contradiction between the two cannot be reconciled and will never end.

So I can only invite them to die!
"Be ruthless! Don't have the kindness of women! These people will not die, and it will be you, me, and all of us who will die in the future! This is a matter of life and death, not a child's play! Put away your conscience, here, there is no need conscience!"

After Chen Xiu and Wang Yong got better and better, they refuted and severely reprimanded the occasional suggestions of letting go of the later land reform workers, pointed out the essence of the problem, and forced the people in the land reform working group to unify their thinking and The front line, commanding the mighty peasants, completely tore the big gentry into pieces.

Chen Xiu and Wang Yong have almost realized what they are doing. This is not simply tying the peasants to the chariot and preventing them from going down. In fact, they are reforming the law.

Compared with them, Xie He, who conducted the land reform command earlier, realized more problems.

This is not just a simple Zhang Ju's official administrative reform, but a more terrifying reform that goes straight to the core of the problem.

Confucianism and Legalism for thousands of years since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

It's just that this reform did not start from ideological debate, but directly entered the innermost part of the core of the problem under the cover of the war of rebellion, and started a revolutionary change from the root. Convincing people, but uprooting, destroying the soil suitable for the survival of Confucianism.

Let them not even have time to react and fight back.

This reform is different from the famous Wang Anshi Reform, Fan Zhongyan Reform and Zhang Juzheng Reform of this dynasty. This is not a compromise reform within the system led by civil officials, but the most thorough and uncompromising reform starting from the root of society. The intensity of its reforms is far inferior to that of Shang Yang's reforms.

The Shang Yang Reform was also very thorough, creating an extremely powerful Daqin government. Although Xiao Ruxun explained to them the Shang Yang Reform, they also discovered in the process of practice that the Shang Yang Reform is much milder than the land reform they carried out up.

Shang Yang's reform didn't kill people at a single disagreement, and Shang Yang's reform didn't kill people and seize land. Similarly, the enemies Shang Yang faced were far less powerful and organized than the enemies Xiao Ruxun faced today.

The purpose of Shang Yang's reform was for war, and what was cultivated was a new military interest group, which was driven by the unified war to create a powerful military interest group, which made the aristocratic power weak and weak, and took the lead in withdrawing from the stage of history.
