For Li Xiao, a time-traveler, who has more successful and advanced experience in later generations, the current results of the rebels are just the same to him, and even feel childish.
This is actually true. According to his investigation, the problems within the rebels are actually quite big. The first one to bear the brunt is the problem of food. There are one to two million people, and they are basically young and middle-aged people. How much do they have to do in a day?
Although they can be robbed from the landlords, they don't open cash machines. They can get as much money as they want. Although the old landlords in the countryside have a lot of money, they don't actually have much wealth or food in their hands.
.
After all, Russian society is a pyramid. The top landlords and rich people at the top occupy 70 to 80 percent of social resources, and the remaining 20 percent belongs to the rich and wealthy at the waist.
Most of Russia's wealth, including food, was actually in the hands of the tsar and the powerful, and these things were concentrated in big cities.
In other words, at most only a small half is scattered in other cities and countryside. With the attrition of the war in Ukraine and the uncontrolled and unplanned waste and consumption of the rebels, there is not much left of this small half.
This also resulted in the fact that the logistics situation of the rebels was not much better than that of Dmitri, and even tended to gradually worsen. After all, the gold and silver in the hands of the rebels were difficult to turn into materials, but Dmitri was different.
As long as you have money, you can shop everywhere.
As this situation goes up and down, life for the rebels may become increasingly difficult.
This is still the most obvious problem of food. The most fatal problem for the rebels is not this problem. The most fatal problem for the rebels is the organizational problem.
In short, to describe them as "Grass Team" would be considered too high. The entire rebel army can be said to be numerous in Shantou, and there are too many chaotic forces.
But this is normal. After all, uprisings have broken out in so many places, and naturally there are many leaders.
In fact, having too many people is not a big problem. The problem is that everyone is doing their own thing and no one wants to obey anyone.
Of course, this is more normal. Who doesn’t want to be the boss? He finally put his head on his belt and rebelled and raised an army. Everyone has one head and two hands and feet. Why should they listen to your orders if they all have guns?
Because you are handsome?
It can be said that the internal strife of the rebels is actually very serious. In order to seize territory, their own people even fight with their own people. After all, although everyone is a rebel, you are from Kharkiv and I am from Donetsk. How can you
Why extend your hand to my territory?
To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for the many conflicts within the rebels, the rebels would have swept through Ukraine and headed towards Moscow or St. Petersburg long ago with Ulanov’s methods.
The internal friction caused by the organizational structure of the rebels has led to a third problem, which is that although they, who were born as mud-legged serfs, overthrew the landlords and their wealth with a breath of bad breath, they really had no foresight.
Have you ever thought about what to do after the rebellion?
In other words, they did not have a revolutionary program, or they did not have a clear purpose. The rebellion was just forced to do something for a short time, and in the end, it succeeded but got lost.
I have never thought about how to deal with the encirclement and suppression by the government troops, nor how to manage the territory. I really just want to grab wherever I go, and if there is nothing to grab, I will disband first.
The rebels without a goal are actually very confused and have no idea where to go next. They only rely on instinct to take action. To put it bluntly, they are like a swarm of locusts, constantly gnawing on the land of Ukraine. If it were not for Kiev, there would be
A large number of Russian troops began to fight among themselves and kill their own people.
These problems determine that this uprising is destined to fail. For Dmitry and Li Xiao, how to put down this rebellion at the minimum cost is the key issue.
To put it bluntly, this rebellion does not require special efforts by the Russian army to suppress it. As long as Ukraine can be isolated during the winter, the rebel army will be able to kill itself. But the problem is that if this is done, Ukraine will be destroyed.
It takes twenty years to recover.
This was not the result Dmitri and Li Xiao wanted, so they advocated putting out the uprising as soon as possible to minimize losses.
But the situation at the moment is very delicate. Although the rebels have many internal problems, they have not yet exploded. The Russian army has been unable to concentrate enough power to annihilate them in one fell swoop, and the situation has fallen into a stalemate.
The most important thing is to see how to break the deadlock. According to Dmitri's plan, he is going to accumulate a wave of troops to seize the opportunity and recapture Chernihiv in one fell swoop. It is best to annihilate a large number of the rebels' effective forces.
But who would have thought that before he could launch an attack, the rebels came over first. Although the rebels' attack was crushed by his artillery in minutes, he was also keenly aware of a problem. Why did the rebels suddenly attack?
What about taking the initiative to cause trouble for him?
Some people ask what is the problem? Which country's peasant uprisings are not running around everywhere, and if they don't take the initiative to fight you, why don't you wait until you have accumulated enough strength to fight them?
That's right and wrong. The reason why peasant uprisings are spreading like wildfires is that, in addition to the fact that the peasants cannot bear the oppression and can only resist to survive, a very important reason is that the government troops will try to suppress the bandits no matter how incompetent they are. In many cases, the rebels
They were all forced to run and had to move.
This is not the case in Ukraine. Before Dmitry arrived in Ukraine, the rebels in Chernihiv were actually very lazy and basically too lazy to move. They seemed to be very satisfied with the current situation.
He even watched Dmitri sleeping on the side of the bed, watching Dmitri accumulate strength bit by bit.
At that time, they were too lazy to pay attention to them and acted as if they were indifferent. You must know that when Dmitry first arrived in Ukraine, he had the least amount of troops and faced the most difficulties. If he wanted to defeat or even eliminate Dmitri, that would be the most difficult thing.
Good opportunity.
There are no such stupid people in the world. If you don’t fight someone when they are weak, but when they become stronger, you go to provoke them. Isn’t this a convulsion?
Both Dmitry and Li Xiao believed that the sudden attack by the rebels was very abnormal. It was probably because they were short of food or supplies!
How do the rebels solve the problem of not having enough to eat? It is certainly impossible to farm the land and wait for next year's harvest, right? The simplest and most direct way is to continue to rob the land as usual!
It is conceivable that the cities in the hinterland of Ukraine that are occupied by the rebels may not be robbed, so the rebels in Chernihiv can only take desperate measures to rob Dmitry, which means that the rebels are likely to have a large-scale attack in the future.
