For any ruler, the basis of their rule has never been the masses in a broad sense, but the "elites" who represent the masses. To put it bluntly, they are - nobles, officials, scholars, and landlords. As for the masses... who takes it?
Did they take it seriously?
Most of the time, the so-called masses are just bargaining chips between the so-called "elites" and the rulers. For example, the gentry in the late Ming Dynasty is the best example.
In order for the rulers to realize their role, of course they will create conditions.
The "elites" smoking cigars and pipes were silent there. As estate owners, they had a very hard time in the past year. After they established the Land Reform Committee, at the beginning, all the landowners
They are all worried that the government will take action against their land.
But in the end, it was a false alarm. Although they did not take any action against the land, the government issued corresponding laws and regulations to lease state-owned land to ordinary people who did not have land on preferential terms.
This is the characteristic of Argentina - in the past hundreds of years, thousands of immigrants came with the hope of owning land, but when they arrived they found that almost all the land had been monopolized by large estate owners, and they could only rely on the estates.
They lived as tenant farmers. In response to the situation where ordinary farmers had little land and a large amount of land was concentrated in the hands of a few large landowners, they began to implement land reform in various provinces and leased state-owned land to ordinary farmers. Faced with the government's preferential conditions, many manors
The tenant farmers there left the manor one after another and became "tenant farmers" of the state. The reason why they were willing to work the land for the state was because the rent collected by the state was lower. As a result, many tenant farmers left the master's manor.
Landowners in various provinces are extremely resistant to this kind of reform that not only leads to the loss of their tenant farmers, but also prevents the expansion of their land. However, they are unable to resist the violent machine of Nanhua, so they have been silent and waiting.
Chance.
Now that the place names have changed and people's hearts are in turmoil, they see an opportunity, an opportunity to join the new regime and win the favor of the ruler. Of course, all they need is to sell some...well, it should be said that it is just to help the government solve its problems.
"Gentlemen, now is our chance, a chance to regain everything we have lost."
Yes, they lost everything.
Some of them are high-ranking officials, some are military officers, and some are members of parliament, but now, they are just ordinary landlords!
This is simply intolerable.
Now, it's time to take it all back!
…
"The snake has come out of its hole! Ji Gao, this is human nature. People, especially when they are in adversity, are easily deceived by some falsehoods, even if they know that such falsehoods are unreliable. Even if
Even knowing that there is little hope, they will seize this illusory opportunity and want to win everything back through an adventure. Of course, sometimes, this may be possible, but most of the time, this kind of opportunity is simply not possible.
Traps exist, possibly even fatal ones, just like now."
Through the window, Zhu Xianhai looked at the people on the road. Now there are more and more Chinese residents in Yingtian. With the entry of government agencies and enterprises, hundreds of thousands of Chinese residents have poured into the city. They have already
This has changed to a certain extent.
Looking at the people walking leisurely in the square, Zhu Xianhai smiled slightly.
"We have prepared a trap for them. The question now is how many people we can trap!"
"Your Majesty, if you want to impose a crime, why don't you say anything?"
Zuo Zongtang said straightforwardly.
"Now that we have made up our minds to use this incident to fundamentally solve some problems, let's get rid of them. It's no big deal!"
Unjustly accused!
That's an old tradition, right? There are two official characters in the name. What is the yamen for? The bright mirror hanging high in the hall was actually reserved for the creation of Dou E.
If the government doesn't create some Dou E and doesn't let those foreigners experience what it means to be a powerful official, will it be worthy of the name of the government?
This kind of thing should always be enjoyed and experienced by them!
"really……"
Zhu Xianhai nodded slightly and said seriously.
"Our biggest enemy is not Britain. Our biggest enemy is within us. We have only one goal now - to turn this land into the Promised Land of China. If there is God in the world, then this land is ours.
According to the contract signed with him, this land belongs to us. No one can take it away from us. If they want to take it away... then let them die!"
His gaze extended to the distance through the window, Zhu Xianhai's tone was cold, without even the slightest emotion.
"Now, they have two choices, either integrate with us and become a member of China, or..."
Zhu Xianhai did not continue. There are some things that do not need to be said, and everyone understands them. The superiors do not need to stain their hands with blood, others will naturally do it for them.
…
"Are you ready?"
In the stable, Forrest Gan looked at the servants who were getting ready to set off.
"Yes, sir, everything is ready!"
Babu grinned.
"If everything goes well, I will be there in about an hour. Sir, are you sure the target will pass by there today?"
He was not at all worried about what he was about to do. After all, as the most loyal servant of his master, it was normal to do those things.
And the master did not treat him badly and gave him a large sum of money. With that money, he could make his wife and children live a very happy life.
"Yes,"
Forrest Gan nodded and then said.
"When you get there, follow our original plan."
"I know, sir!"
As in the past, Babu always had a smile on his face, he was cheerful and looked very friendly. No matter how you looked at it, he did not look like a ruthless person, but in fact everyone in the manor knew that,
Never mess with Babu.
Because he was never merciless when it came to beating people. No one would doubt that he, who was born as a Gaucho, must have killed someone when he was wandering on the grassland. And there were more than one.
"Sir, you must take care of yourself."
When Babu left, he looked back at his husband and said.
"Ah, you too!"
When Babu left the manor on horseback, Mendoza, who had been sitting in the carriage, looked at Babu who was leaving and said.
"Forrest, are you sure this plan can succeed?"
In his opinion, it seems a little difficult for this plan to succeed. It's just two people. Can they accomplish that big thing?
"Whether this plan succeeds or fails, it has no impact on our plans. All we need is to let them understand that there are still many people in this land who are not satisfied with their rule. If they want to rule from this
The neighboring lands must rely on us."
Looking at Fores, Mendoza asked.
"Then what?"
"Then, everyone can live happily on this continent!"
When he said these words, Forrest's eyes were cast into the distance, as if he was really full of expectations for the future.
"What, everyone? Live happily?"
Menrosa burst out laughing, as if he had heard a very funny joke, which was indeed a joke to him.
It is simply ridiculous that everyone can live happily.
Then he turned his head and looked at Forrest and said.
"Maybe, maybe, but the most important thing is that our happy life can continue."
"I hope..."
Menrosa shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said.
"Hopefully, I hope your goal can be achieved soon, my friend."
