"Low-headed, look at my millions of soldiers." Zhao Kuo proudly showed a stack of paper in his hand to his men in Fogang.

Zhu Qingzheng took it to see it, but was stunned. It turned out that it was a blank land deed printed in stacks, but it had already been stamped with the seal of Pingnan Hou.

"Divid the fields?" Zhu Qingzheng said with a cold breath.

"Hmph, what else is there!" Zhao Kuo laughed proudly.

The principle of clearing the countryside is actually very simple in Zhao Kuo's mind: First, kill all the gentry who are organizing or organizing the group training. The land of this group of people is more than 100 acres and has close ties with the government. In the Qing Dynasty, this group of people has a population of only 2 million people; second, share the land of these people to the poor in the same village; third, the middle-aged and rich peasants and overseas "wealthy people" are both out of the matter.

In short, because Ye Mingchen, the mainstay of Confucianism, is in Guangzhou, the Confucianism is extremely powerful and it is necessary to destroy the backlash of Confucianism and differentiate the rural classes in Guangdong.

The civil service bureaus organized by Ye Mingchen are spread all over the countryside of Guangdong. Because Guangdong has always had poor public security, bandits are rampant, and there are constant armed fighting among the villages, and there are a large number of weapons among the people, which has led to strong folk customs and strong combat effectiveness of the militia.

Moreover, if the Taiping Army does not tear apart this fishing net, it is easy to say if it wins, but if it loses, there will be no way out.

Most people in that era didn't know anything at all. They had no knowledge or professional qualities of soldiers. They could be called elite troops when they carried bamboo guns and fought a few battles, but if they failed and started to escape, they would be ordinary people again. This kind of mob-destroying army with no morale retreated to the countryside, and they could only be cleaned up by local militia. In other words, if the battle against Guangdong failed, the army could only retreat to Guangxi, which had a complex terrain. However, if the militia network was not cleaned up in advance, they would probably have no place to run.

This is what happened after the failure of the Heaven and Earth Uprising in 1854.

Here, Zhao Kuo specially brainwashed his ideas throughout the army.

It is necessary for the entire army to maintain the same idea and understand who you are? What do you do? Why do you do this?

This is a way to maintain morale and maintain military discipline, which later generations called ideological work.

First, we must give real benefits to the poor people. This is what he learned from the most advanced organizations in later generations. Naturally, it means that the poor are the ones. The Chinese always have the mentality of taking advantage of them. If you take a stool from the landlord's family, you will probably pretend to lie and not return them, not to mention the land that Chinese farmers value the most. Moreover, this land is in vain, at least the rent for this year is not needed. Of course, the wealth accumulated by the landlord's family over the years was taken away by Zhao Kuo, leaving only bare land that cannot be taken away for the poor. As long as Zhao Kuo is not defeated, the land deed will be valid!

No matter what degree of wealth is redistributed, the class without any kind can always benefit. In this way, the poor at the lowest level, because of this selfish human nature, whether it is honest peasants or bandits, screaming Zhao Kuo's Taiping Army, is very important, because such people are also the main source of military forces of the militia.

Now the Taiping Army killed the militia master and gave them the wealth. No one wanted the men to come back again, and of course they didn't want the Qing Dynasty to come back again and take away the meat they had eaten. It was like a snowball. At the beginning, Zhao Kuo's Taiping Army still wanted to kill the militia himself, but a few months later, wherever Zhao Kuo's army occupied, the poor people themselves fucked the men, and of course most of the men ran away.

No matter how powerful the militia is, it is not a rival to the army.

After knocking out the militia, Zhao Kuo set up a farmer association to replace the militia's mutual security protection. Of course, the farmers' associations are all his people, and they are all locals with the blood of Qing soldiers or masters. The biggest role of this group of people is not to maintain public security and resist the bandits, but to provide the Taiping Army with a large amount of intelligence and spy lineage, so that Zhao Kuo can understand the enemy situation and firmly control the countryside.

Second, God said, we are all fucking created by him, so naturally everyone is equal. So there should be only these people in the world: farmers and merchants who work hard to create wealth, and soldiers who defend them, and they all pray to God.

This was plagiarized by Zhao Kuo from a French emperor, but he was Catholic, saying that there were three kinds of people in the world: "people who prayed to God (Catholic priests, Roman Catholic Church), working farmers and merchants, and knights who protected them."

However, Zhao Kuo was not worried about such a plagiarism. The farmer was a lower-class farmer in Guangdong, while the merchants were referring to the brothers of the Tiandihui. Almost all of these people were urban handicraftsmen. It was up to these two groups of people to take over Guangdong. It would be clear that the knights were replaced by the Taiping Army!

Third, the nationalist slogan "expelling the Tartars and restoring China" was proposed. It promoted the people as slaves of the Qing Dynasty, creating targets, and inciting public anger. However, this trick did not require incitement at all. Any rebel army of the Qing Dynasty, including the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which integrates politics and religion, all proposed the slogan of expelling the Qing Dynasty, because the people hated the darkness under the Qing Dynasty. This slogan was enthusiastically supported by almost everyone in Zhao Kuo's army.

Of course, some people were specifically pointed out to protect them, that is, the "wealthy" class.

These people are working hard overseas, and their families are much richer than locals. Many of them are small and medium-sized landlords. Although Guangdong is not as many people as Fujian, the number is still huge.

"You can't touch a hair for me! And you have to help them collect rent! They are protected by my Marquis of Pingnan!" Zhao Kuo yelled like this and ordered the leaders of his Qingxiang Group.

The reason for this is very simple:

The first point: they are rich. Ma Shi, a foreigner who worked in China's customs at that time, recorded that in 1903, there were 2.5 million Xiamen workers in Manila, Java, and Straits colonies, remitted 10 million US dollars to their hometowns every year. In 1903, the 66,000 people who returned home in that year carried as much as 6 million US dollars. The situation was similar in Qiongzhou (Hainan Island), Beihai (Guangxi), and Shantou (Guangdong). At the beginning of the 20th century, the number of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia was about 4 million, and the annual remittance to their hometowns was about 57 million US dollars.

What is the concept of a tens of millions of dollars a year in 1900? How many Beiyang fleets can you buy? How many kilometers of railways can you build?

In the eyes of Zhao Kuo, the underworld, it was like when he was wandering on his territory one day, he found that several new nightclubs were opened, which could collect protection fees. This group of people who were disdained by the Qing government and repeatedly exploited and plundered were simply gooses laying golden eggs.

"What kind of bad people are just a small kid who is waiting to be slaughtered in nightclubs!" This is Zhao Kuo's evaluation.

Second, if you have a good relationship with this group of people, you can help him go to Southeast Asia if he fails to fight Guangdong and is wanted by the Qing Dynasty and the great powers. Anyway, he will never return to Guangxi. He is not the heroes of later generations. He can fight guerrilla warfare in the valley to win the world. He can't bear this hardship and have no ambition.

The third and most important point is that the "bad people" are not small in power in the mainland, especially in Fujian, which is bounded with Guangdong. The "Little Knife Club" is their organization!

Historically, the Zhangquan area in southern Fujian has always been a very active area for the secret halls of the Tiandihui. On this basis, after the Chinese in Singapore returned to China, they secretly established the "Little Knife Club" in Xiamen, which also belongs to the Tiandihui system. (Author's note: Tiandihui is really awesome.)

According to the report of Chen Qingyong, the censor of Jiangxi Dao, at the end of Daoguang, the people of Longxi, Haicheng and other counties in Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, mostly traded in Sulu (now the Philippines), Xili (Singapore), and Luzon (now the Luzon Island). In that country, they married and had children, and they were brought back. The common sayings were called earth and children. They gathered money in foreign countries and became popular. They used the reason to get together, and then they followed Zhangzhou and even Xiamen to form a small knife meeting, which was also called heaven and earth meeting. Anyone who entered the association needed 693 texts of money, called the root money, and after handing over, they gave a Bagua seal, and two red and white cloth were recorded as a record, with small signs and slogans. Each of them had a small flag on their heads, and blood was a alliance. At first, they sold foreign land to give birth to children, and then they gradually attracted more and more. They walked and spoke in a weird way, and dared to write crazy words, both urban and rural areas.

And in 1853, the Xiaodaohui Uprising occupied Xiamen! Later, the Shanghai Xiaodaohui Uprising!

What a shame!

In fact, there is also an unexpected fourth benefit. Later, Zhao Kuo used it to slap someone in the face, almost saving Zhao Kuo's life.

As soon as Zhao Kuo arrived in Huizhou, he immediately sent a capable general to sneak into Fujian to find Xiaodao Club buddies. He not only wanted to establish contact, but also helped and guided his uprising throughout the process.

"Am I establishing an anti-Qing unified front?" In the Huizhou government office, looking at the Guangdong famous food "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" and "Dragon and Tiger Fight" on the table in front of me, Zhao Kuo sniffed proudly, picked up the chopsticks, but felt proud: "It feels so good to look for people everywhere to light the fire for the filing."

But before he could get off the chopsticks, his subordinates hurriedly reported: "Report to the Marquis, Hong Kong Luo Xiaoquan has arrived and is outside the door."
