Chapter 527: Blessed General

"If you want to cooperate inside and outside, you have to let this girl's father know. How are you going to communicate with the castle master in the yard?" Shan Yaodong asked, this is indeed a problem.

"General, I can use the people in my fort to climb over the wall and sneak onto the city wall. With so many people in the fort, it is impossible for the officers and soldiers to notice me." At this time, Lei Zhen stood up and said.

Shan Yaodong thought for a moment and thought he could give it a try. It wouldn't waste much time anyway.

"Xiaohu, you come and lead the team. I will give you five teams of fifty people. You have to seize the courtyard and hold it there." Shan Yaodong said to Wang Xiaohu. Zhou Rulong was relatively weak, so it was obviously Xiaohu's job to lead the troops.

More suitable.

"Yes, captain." Wang Xiaohu gave a military salute.

"Miss Lan, you come to lead the team. I hope what you said is true. If your Lan family can cooperate with us to take Yantian Fort, then not only will you have no fault, but you will also have merit, and you don't have to worry about your family property. I

The Chinese protect private property from infringement," Shan Yaodong said.

However, he did not say that the Chinese would never be lenient to those gentry and landlords who harmed the local area and ransacked their homes.

Several young people acted very efficiently.

Before coming out, Dong Liang had already told Shan Yaodong that he should give a few young people more opportunities to experience and not protect them too much.

In Dong Liang's view, it would be difficult for these young people to grow up without undergoing the baptism of danger. He would not cultivate a bunch of flowers in the greenhouse.

Lu Shouweng on the top of the city was also curiously observing the bandits outside the city. These people suddenly stopped moving, which cannot be said to be motionless. The other party was digging a trench forward, and the trench was not dug straight towards the city wall.

, but approached the city wall in a serpentine shape. Could it be that the opponent was not planning to blow down the wall and change his tactics?

Shan Yaodong did this, on the one hand, to confuse the Qing army on the fort wall, and on the other hand, it was indeed to prepare for the upcoming attack. The young men on the fort wall alone were no match for the Qing army.

In the end, the escort is still needed to resolve the battle.

Dong Liang was on the school grounds of Funing Fucheng at this time, and squatting in front of him were all surrendered soldiers of the Qing army.

There were a large number of people watching around the school grounds, surrounded by guard soldiers carrying rifles.

"Everyone, Dong Liang is a son of Fujian Province. I believe everyone knows how I came to be a bodyguard. A year ago, I was an ordinary scholar and just wanted to study in peace. But the foreigners colluded with the government and abducted people in the coastal areas.

Young and strong, they want to transport us thousands of miles away to be their slaves."

"In the end, we relied on our own hands to defeat the foreign slave traders and robbed the big ship. At that time, I was thinking, why can't we Chinese even be peaceful and hardworking people? This government has collected so much tax from us.

, shouldn’t we protect our own people?”

"But what did they do? They only cared about the common people. When the foreigners came, they either surrendered or ran away without a trace. The foreigners couldn't make money, so they sold opium to us. They not only poisoned the people, but also made money.

Making huge profits, but the court turned a blind eye."

"No one feels the bullying of foreigners more deeply than the people of Fujian Province."

Dong Liang's speech was not as formal as those of the officials, and the prisoners of the Qing army below and the people around him heard clearly.

When Dong Liang talked about the bullying of foreigners, the people below were gnashing their teeth. How many fishermen and boatmen had lost their livelihoods because of foreigners, and how many families had been destroyed by foreigners' smoke.

Qin Lizheng was originally a merchant ship owner. His family owned two ships, and he was considered a small maritime trader. But since Kaifu opened for trade ten years ago, his business has plummeted, and all the work at sea has been robbed by foreign merchant ships.

Sorry, they couldn't even get some soup.

In the end, Qin Lizheng had no choice but to sell two ships and wanted to do some other business, but his business with foreigners was monopolized by a few big compradors.

They joined forces with foreigners to suppress the prices of tea and raw silk, and even the interests of ordinary tea farmers became worse and worse.

By now, the Qin family has completely fallen into decline. In order to support a large family, the house where the Qin family originally lived has been sold, and now they are crowded into a small house.

The tall, handsome young man on the stage is said to be the head of state of the Chinese nation.

Qin Lizheng knew that the title "head of state" means "big boss", the largest official in the Chinese ethnic group.

It's really amazing, you are so young, and what others say is true.

"Down with the foreigners!"

"Down with the foreigners!"

I don't know who shouted something, and then the people around him started shouting, and then the prisoners also followed suit.

Dong Liang waited for these people to stop and continued. He felt that everyone's emotions were almost brewing now.

"There are scholars, farmers, businessmen, and soldiers among you."

"Let me first ask you scholars, how many people do you think are still able to get ahead after studying under the Manchu rule? The Mr. Wang next to me used to be a master in the Governor's Yamen. He knows very well that in Fujian officialdom,

Most of the official positions were

The imperial court took it out and sold it, and it was difficult for scholars to get real jobs even if they were admitted to the imperial examination. Everyone who studied hard for ten years could only get one candidate, while those who were rich could become county magistrates even if they didn't study for a day.

Even being a prefect. Is this fair?"

Several scholars in green shirts in the crowd suddenly looked angry. At this time, the situation of redundant officials in the Qing Dynasty was already quite serious. This situation would occur in the later stages of any dynasty.

But just like that, the Manchu and Qing court actually came up with the idea of ​​donating official positions. This was openly selling official positions. Everyone went to work for profit, and those who really studied had no way out.

If Hong Xiucai had not failed in many trials, he would not necessarily have embarked on the path of rebellion.

"We, the Chinese, are a meritocracy. We have opened the imperial examination on Dongfan Island and hired hundreds of officials at one time. As an official in our Chinese, as long as you serve the people, you will have a path to promotion. The selection of officials is complete.

Passing the exam will not matter your origin or connections. I can guarantee that I, the Chinese, will never sell out a single official position. Moreover, I, the Chinese, have created more official positions to give scholars the opportunity to perform."

Dong Liang's words were very tempting. After he finished speaking, some scholars in Fucheng had already begun to feel excited.

"I think most of the people standing here are farmers, including these surrendered soldiers. I think most of them were originally farmers. So for us farmers, the most important thing is to have land to farm."

"But look at it, how many people still own their own land, and how many of them can rely on that little land to support their families?"

Many people lowered their heads, most of whom were poor.

"Some people should know that the Chinese practice a land equalization system. Farming is everyone's most basic right and the most basic source of livelihood. This land was left to us by our ancestors. All Chinese people should have the right to farm.

."

"Some landowners have said that the land belongs to me, why should I hand it over? I won't say how some people got their land. I, the Chinese, will not let everyone suffer, as long as the family is legal from generation to generation.

The accumulated land will be compensated according to the price, or replaced with forests, mineral deposits, and tea gardens of corresponding value. We try our best to ensure that no one suffers a loss. But this land must be divided. This is to ensure that most people

interests."

"Of course, our Fujian Province has a small land and a large population, and the land is not divided enough. So this is the matter of our Chinese government and our escort army. The value of the escort army is first to protect everyone's life and property, and secondly to occupy more places.

There is a lot of land for everyone to cultivate. We are short of cultivated land here.

But there is a lot of abandoned land in the world. There should be people around you who have gone to Nanyang. If you ask them, you will know that the land in Nanyang is fertile and has three crops a year, but many places are controlled by foreigners and indigenous people. Don't worry, I will protect you.

The military will help everyone occupy the land and distribute it to everyone."

As soon as these words came out, the scene was directly pushed to a climax. Some people in the crowd were already raising their arms and shouting: "Long live the Chinese people!" "Long live the Guards!"

I don’t know if the child care was arranged in advance or if the people took it upon themselves to do so.
