Chapter 688 Chapter 16.14 The tide in the empire
On October 10th, the security forces in the northern part of the empire had been dragged down by the "bandit army" in this campaign to suppress the bandits.

The large tractor vehicles of these farmers were supposed to be a booster when attacking, but because there was no marching column and no protection from the scouts on both sides, it became the biggest burden.

Enma concluded after the war: "The more advanced weapons, the more they need personnel quality and discipline system. Otherwise, advanced weapons will not only have no combat effectiveness bonus, but will be cumbersome."

In fact, "training" on this plane is not a problem. Some "charm-type" arcane techniques have been developed to this day, and they can directly instill combat experience.These farmers are underestimating the enemy, but it can actually be repaired, but what they can't remedy is their chain of command.

Rather than saying that the Nongqing Army is a bandit army, they are more like a bandit army. Multiple "mountains" are jointly commanded. Even if the empire sends military advisors, they will not be able to integrate together.

Chaotic command directly led to tactical chaos.

The farmer attacked aggressively two weeks ago, but was bombarded halfway. After three days of stagnation, he received bad news: the village behind him was demolished by the troublemakers.

On the messy field ridges at the front line, those servants who ran out of the Zhuangzi had no sense of secrecy at all, and ran to the manor owner (teachers) with tears and boogers, crying, "Wife and child in the hands of the bandits".This made the soldiers panic.stay uncertain.

In the end, the troops were divided into two groups. Well, the group of people who went home was regarded as one group, but in this group of people, they were divided into multiple groups immediately, and each went back to each house to find its own mother.

Three days from October 10nd to 2th.

The Imperial Jing'an Army returned to the rescue route, and on the command sand table of the Nongqing Army, it was determined to give priority to annihilating them.

Even if these farm owners were "rescued", they did not reach a unified agreement.The tractor team was scattered, each team had a maximum of 300 people, and they were still drawn into a long team. Those agricultural machines dragged ammunition and luggage, and as the core of the army, they were not protected.After all, these farm owners did not graduate from the Imperial Military Academy, and they did not establish a security network.Stubbornly let the agricultural machine swagger forward.

Of course, the landlord's armed forces are not capable of establishing such a cover. Only the inner circle can execute the combat team centered on the landlord, and the outer circle is all in the posture of Zhu Bajie patrolling the mountain.

'Lord' (Enma's pseudonym) made a posture of dividing and gradually annihilating.

The battle began in multiple stages, and in each stage, the Qingnong Army mobilized "agricultural mortar vehicles".

"Rapid fire" again and again severely damaged the "Imperial Jing'an Army" queue.

And the troops deployed by the Nongqing Army at the front began to intersperse with light machine guns.Block the enemy's escape direction.

In fact, the tactic of blocking the "fleeing" was unsuccessful. After the armored vehicles of the landowners encountered artillery fire, the landowners' army fled in all directions like a swarm of rats. One said.

This scene made En Ma sigh when writing the battle report: "People are really harder to catch than pigs."

...The Northland is a relatively backward place in the empire, with backward industrial economy, backward culture and education...

These captured prisoners still received "regularized queue discipline training" in the Qingnong Army prisoner camp.

These captives were escorted to the occupied town, sang together (these are not songs from the main world, Wei Keng deliberately hides his information from the main world), lined up for food, learned to walk neatly, and then discussed their own life stories together.

As for the commanders of the "Imperial Jing'an Army", that is, those stubborn farmers, they were detained separately for a few days, and after some education, they were dressed in gray cloth clothes, pressed to the ground, and handed over to the captives. We apologize.

Landlords, how do you let go of your pride and bow your head to the captives? ——But since these manor owners can force the looted women into submission.The teaching team wielding iron fists can use the same means to force them to accept their fate.

"Mind reading" is a good method for interrogation. It directly breaks through the people around the farm owners and makes them confess. When the interrogation team understands all the activities of these farm owners, they will use a strong psychological offensive to break through.

For the oppressed, there has never been a more shocking gentleman wearing a tall hat, carrying a sign, nodding and bowing, and apologizing to them.This is no less than a "psych bomb" arcane.

When the critique begins.Enma looked at the sudden change of the "concept" in the arena and the scene of the collapse in the ether world. Enma let out a sigh of relief: "The higher the authority, the greater the shock caused by the collapse," and then he couldn't help but look up.

Wei Keng: The highest authority in this world is none other than those gods. Before the almost eternal concept of information, they store their self-awareness in the concept.Perhaps one day, I will also form a concept, and then face collapse.

At this point, Wei Keng suddenly paused (sensing the trembling of the industrial godhead), shook his head and denied: "I shouldn't be obsessed with this, no matter how huge and magnificent the concept of 'forming a concept in this world' is, it cannot represent the highest and highest level of life. the widest.

...full life, where there is new birth, there is death...

The phenomenon of life is that "wisdom" takes the initiative to "make a difference" in the cycle of continuous rise and fall in nature

The existence of "life" proves that metabolism is completed in a complex, comprehensive and orderly system.

Compared with ordinary people promoting history, gods occupy too much weight in all proportions in multiple planes.Therefore, the pursuit of 'God' as the highest, itself hinders life. )
Life lasts forever, but any state of life has a beginning and an end.Even one day, a certain consciousness of mine reaches a god-like mode at this stage.But still have a choice.

I will chase after the shining, and face it calmly. The self who carries the mission will take a curtain call after completing the mission. "

En Ma took a look at the farm owners (the descendants of the knights) who were embarrassed by the group's criticism, and whispered: "I will choose my exit method instead of lingering on my last breath. It is so embarrassing."

……

After finishing the "back to rescue" road, the peasants and youth army will eliminate the stubborn and "closer" road to the base area.

The Peasants and Youth Army have already passed the interrogation of the prisoners in the early stage, and found out the "weight" of Feigute, the division seat that resisted all opinions to "attack".As for the rest of the information, it is almost the same,
The headquarters even sought out revolutionary class brothers in persuasion and education, and arranged for a few people to "report" to Feigut, and secretly let go of the tractor's fuel.

October 10th.The morning fog in the northern land was hazy, and the birds did not take this opportunity to forage, because the continuous gunshots and black smoke from the engine brought noise that destroyed nature.

The northern uprising, the decisive battle against the "Imperial Jing'an Army First Corps" approaching the base area started at 9:33 in the morning.

The number of armored vehicles of the Nongqing Army reached [-]. These vehicles were only [-] to [-] tons, and they were only the size of a large truck. The armor was assembled from pieces of ductile iron, not serious armor. This is a [-]mm caliber firearm, considered a cannon on Earth).

The imperial Jing'an army that wiped out the "return defense mission" before was a defeat battle. The farmers among the farmers who were called to fight with weapons saw that the situation was not good and slipped away.

This makes the heavy equipment discarded by the farm owners on the battlefield basically intact, so that the engineers of the Nongqing Army can repair it and put it into use immediately.

Really echoed "No guns, no shells, the enemy made them for us."

Feigute was unlucky. His army was the last to be annihilated. It was facing the Nongqing army who had accumulated combat experience. Its full of "military talents" could not be used like "gray fertilizer volatilization".

And because the other farm owners' troops fled too quickly in the early stage, the commanders of the peasant and youth army learned a lot of wisdom, and after calculating their combat power, they chose to encircle and kill.

The agricultural and youth troops of more than 900 people surrounded them. After preparing for artillery fire from all directions, they carried out interspersed operations combining infantry and tanks.According to regular combat, the armored forces should be used as sharp knives, but the scale of this siege was too small, and the Landlord Army was too "dough", and they did not hide their headquarters.and also
Therefore, the serious battle of the Nongqing Army is actually not so formal.

When the armored vehicle of the Nongqing Army rushed over with sandbags hanging on the ceramic steel plate, it truly reflected the invulnerability of the tank. They broke up, and of course they were hit with rifle butts by the peasants and youth troops who followed behind, and they raised their hands to surrender.

Fat Gut shrank behind the armored wheel, waving his pistol, and cursed: "Hold it, hold it up for me."

Just as he was dancing, Fei Mo fell to his knees, but it wasn't him who knelt. Fagut turned his head, and the black muzzle of the gun was aimed at his forehead.

"Hand up your guns and don't kill me!" Hong Zhong's voice yelled at the group of cowards huddled behind the tires,

With a slap, Fei Mo immediately threw the gun, knelt down, and echoed: "Yes, yes, don't kill the gun, the hero spares his life." Fat Gute stared at this guy, and cursed secretly: "Damn, this It's Lao Tzu's lines. '

But as the bayonet rushed in front of them, they both pissed at the same time

...a corpse that is rotting all over, wouldn't know that a small piece of his back was charred...

The civil unrest in the northern part of Sky Empire came to an end in late October,

Forty-five towns were breached by "lords" led by local forces said to be called "Iron Stars", after the landowners in these towns were paraded through the streets.Beginning to announce the acceptance of imperial rule, of course it is only an announcement that in each town, the Nongqing Army has arranged an education group.

Except for a few diehards such as Feigute, as many as 2300 captives were all "released after criticism and education."

The teaching group poured into these prisoners: "The Jing'an Army is the bandits, who plundered illegally", and each of them gave them two silver coins as travel expenses.Boy, that's more than what the landowners paid them.

After these captives ran back, they laughed at those who ran first for not having such luck.

On the side of the Northern Farmers and Youth Army, the concept of "blazing iron star" was condensed in the atmosphere of victory.

In the northern campaign, the emerging forces used military means to take down a series of large towns, but in the follow-up political and economic aspects, they gave the local strength a heavy blow, which was far stronger than this military shock.

The base areas of the Nongqing Army also simply extended to these villages and began to recruit personnel. It is still a temporary compromise on the city. Among the people who came to talk with the city, they declared that they would still provide sufficient food, but in terms of conscription, due to escape There are too many black households, so I have to slow down.

How did big households resist conscription in the past?With food supply as a threat, how can the peasant and youth army come now? As for the empire, is it to accept the qualified status, or is it ready to encircle and suppress?

Enma dug the "pit" and spread the "camouflage net" to invite him sincerely.

The battle in October 3428 of the Fire Emblem Calendar was silent throughout the entire empire.Interested people in some big cities have noticed that the uprising in the north is a bit unusual, but since these villages did not resist the food supply, they will ignore it for the time being. The empire now has no extra troops to suppress it.

Yet among dissidents in the Empire, not much was known about the war.

As a "postman", Enma is certainly a system that connects the empire's opposition to communicate with each other, but he didn't take this victory as an achievement too much.

Wei Keng explained: "For these upper-level revolutionaries, they are staring at the line of reform in the city center. So even if they talk about the results, they will not care about it, and this propaganda is of no benefit. The entire imperial opposition is currently still I don’t have much experience in struggle. At this time, exposing the rural and rural base areas will only be used by them as a bargaining chip for the city to seize power.”

Wei Keng: Only when the chips are pushed up at the most critical moment can the greatest effect be achieved.And when is the most critical time?When the balance of power between the two sides is broken.On the counterweights at both ends of the balance, the last weight has the greatest say.

...Farming is the last word...

After November, the northern farmland territory is hurrying to carry out agricultural production. One hundred tractors have been integrated to form a special joint farming team, and harvest all the way from north to south and from east to west. (The climate in the north east of the empire is one week faster than in the southwest)
The model of this agricultural and rural joint company has the efficiency of dispatching agricultural machinery and utilizing labor force.It far exceeds the model of the "Noble Junker" farm in the Sky Empire.

The old rural forces of the Agricultural Youth Association, such as Feigute and other old landlords, are still reforming.

It's tough and skillful remodeling, but not rough-and-tumble crackdowns that take land and divide it evenly.

Because directly robbing land would cause a lot of uneasiness, because there are still many middle peasants and rich peasants who own land, and even serfs want to own land.Breaking the concept directly will make everyone at a loss.

The land confiscated in the land policy of the YCA is limited to barren land and hills.These unused land resources in the barren hills have not been effectively used in the name of the old landlords, and others are not allowed to use them.

It is often the farmer who erects an inscription and defines the entire mountain as a family property. Any untouchable who enters the mountain will be severely whipped or killed.

"This behavior of occupying land," Enma described: "It's like in a university in the 21st century, some people occupy a row of seats with a book."

However, the action of publicizing and redistributing these "land seized by a small number of people" did not encounter any resistance.The villagers applauded.

As for those lands that show signs of cultivation within three years, there is no change in property rights.

However, it is not up to the old forces in the countryside to decide what to plant on these lands.

…Wei Keng: “The village tyrants in the new era do not rely on dominating the land to raise dog legs, but rely on monopolizing communication between urban and rural areas,”…

"The collapse of the old ruling (being) system is that the cost of occupying land is too high, and the new capital is to control the channel exchange." This is a summary of a financial expert 600 years ago in Wanlun Continent.

It was a hot theory discussed among reformers in prisons.And now, on the blackboards in the rural countryside in the north, they are used as teaching materials.And started practicing.

In the sky empire, the rural youth faction headed by Enma shuttled through the big cities. Now the capital that controls the rural villages does not lie in the "land production materials", but in the control of the sales channels of agricultural and sideline products.

Under the capital system, it is to compete for the control of "capital".

The main point of the competition between the YYCA and the landlord groups is not the land property rights. For an "industrialized" group like the YYCA, what it needs to do now is to control all the channels of transportation to the city.And controlling the "channel" will have the ability to cut the cake in "industrialization".

Commercial channels in areas where urban and rural areas are combined, this is the channel for the first generation of village tyrants to get rich at the stage of the opening up of the East in modern times.Wei Keng has ready-made social information in the Shenzhou plane.

Enma: "I have a mature system, bloodless, to attack landlord forces."

...City people have more routines than country people. …

Feigu Te wandered around in the prison, and now he is much more honest than before. When he saw the trainer of the reform camp, he began to nod and bow, and started to study with a pen at all times.Because he wants to go out as soon as possible.

Feigu Te: "I firmly follow the policies of the Farmers' Association, let me go to the west and I will not go to the east!"

Why did this resister suddenly turn into an activist?Because his family came to see him and did "ideological work" for him.Start persuading him to make a good transformation!
cough cough cough.

Because the family situation of these farmers has changed.

After the war, when all the families were eager to come to the Nongqing Army to redeem their masters, the Nongqinghui did not ask them for money, but started to do their work instead.

CYCA: Now the old farm owners are undergoing transformation. We will not confiscate your family’s property rights, but now the legal person of the farm’s property rights must be replaced. All legal heirs of your family, come to us to register, and we will help you distribute it first.

In short, the land is still distributed, but it is not directly distributed to the tenants, but to those who have not "broken the law" in their family.What, still want to resist?Those who resist, have no place, eh?
Soon, the members of these farmers' families changed from rescuing the family owners to encircling them, and the peasants and youths divided the land.

"Whether the Patriarch will come back or not, let's postpone it first. Who will be the next master of this family, this has to be discussed first!" This is the original conflict within all big families. Now the Nongqing Army is detaining their Patriarch, directly intensifying their conflict up.

Although this vigorous activity of determining "family property" is the "division of land" within the family of these farmers, Enma has proposed a "policy spirit": we must decide on rural and rural activities according to local conditions, and try to make them as small as possible. Everyone gets involved.

Subdivision?How to divide?
It is difficult for honest officials to decide on housework, so these working groups who entered the rural villages began to hold meetings at the entrance of the village to count the population of the entire rural rural area, and let the farmers' tenants vote to decide on the distribution of land.

Rural and rural working groups are not responsible for distribution, but for maintaining order and public voting.At the same time, heirs are strictly prohibited from threatening voters.

As a result, the sons and nephews of the farmers in these places were all turned into benevolent people and began to seek support from every family.

So Feigute was in a hurry in the reform camp, and his sons couldn't compete with his nephew.And after this allocation is completed, even if the empire calls back, this allocation is a foregone conclusion.

...Worse than confiscating property is that one's wealth is divided among those who do not like one's own...

Wei Keng: This trick is learned from the group of people who engaged in demolition in modern times.

As long as there are as many people involved in real estate property rights as possible, it will be possible to mobilize one faction and fight another faction.Narrator: In the ancient industrial era, many nail households had demolition agreements. They were imprisoned after conflicts were involved, and then their relatives, whom they found somewhere, signed the agreement on their behalf.

Although the YYCA did not confiscate assets directly, it took the initiative in this kind of land distribution. Now the family heirs of the land-divided rural and rural farmers are extremely cooperative with the YYCA's various canal construction and food policies.

For example: in a company, one party holds 50.00% of the shares, and the other party holds 40.00% of the shares. This is 50.00%. At this time, the shares are suddenly expanded and [-]% of the shares are given up to new entrants. At this time, who has the final say?Xiaosan's decision counts, because at this time, whoever sided with the [-]% equity will win.

How could these wealthy landowners in the countryside do it well? They are young people who have seen the world in the city.

The Agricultural Youth Association has made three attacks, five cuts and two cuts, and the means of production of agricultural land have actually gained control without bloodshed.

On the side of the majority group of "tenants", Qingnong Group has opened a large number of small workshops and factories.These labor-intensive industries just need population.Straw processing, fish pond care, clothing manufacturing.

In the year 3229 of the Huowen calendar, in June, the first batch of food was delivered to the city as promised.There was even 6% more, which was used to make up for the mistake of "unsuccessful conscription work", and it was nothing at this time.

...To limit the disadvantages of "capital", we must understand "capital"...

Back to the point of view, after the uprising of the Northern Youth Farmers Association.In December 3228 of the Fireweave calendar, at the gate of the prison in York City, Greve walked out of the metal gate wearing a gray formal suit and a hat.

As far as the empire is concerned, if this kind of political alien is locked up for too long, it will attract attention instead. If it is not locked up for a long time, after being thrown out, its popularity will naturally drop.At that time, let the military police keep an eye on it and conduct irregular searches on its daily letters.

But the empire never expected that in a series of big cities such as York City, there would be a guy with such a hand and eye as a "postman". Greve's influence on the revolutionaries in the entire empire in prison not only did not decline, but Instead, he wrote three books a year and gradually became a thought leader.

As for the gendarmes?Oh, the gendarmes are now drinking tea and living at home with "cube sugar", "chocolate", "dried meat" and "dried beans".Well, it's like going to work every day, hammering my chest and shouting "loyal to the empire".

At the gate of the prison, Enma drove over with a battery car.

Greve looked at such a very young man in front of him, and he was very puzzled. After Wei Keng introduced himself, he took out a letter written by Greve himself in prison, and wrote a line of his own to confirm the handwriting.Greve said with emotion: "Comrade postman, you are really too young."

Greve always thought that Wei Keng was a middle-aged man.Of course, seeing En Ma in person, he was still not sure if this was a "postman", and if so?He had a hunch that this young man would be the key to stirring up the tide in the next big change in the empire.

...In the sky of York City, there are still thick clouds, but the sun behind the clouds can be vaguely seen...

Enma drove Greve to the place of residence, which was his place of residence before his arrest, and it has been cleaned up now. Wei Keng took out an envelope with a stack of banknotes, which contained his living expenses.

En Ma: "The arrangement is a bit crude, and the empire's eyeliners are watching closely."

Greve opened the window and looked around. Wei Keng raised his hand and marked several observation points in front of him, all of which were observation points for military police.

Greve looked at Wei Keng's mysterious move and seemed to understand something.

Enma: "I have made friends with these imperial gendarmes (buying them). Your every move, senior, is monitored by the empire. If you plan to communicate with other comrades, you must be careful, and be careful,"

Enma knocked on the phone line and pointed to the bug inside: "It's a power outage right now, and the next door still can't be turned on. There will be a call in 10 to [-] minutes. They will always pay attention to the content of your call."

Enma: "By the way, I will arrange some irrelevant people to give you coal, water, and food delivery, pretending to be one of your social networks, as for you to contact other comrades."

En Ma paused, and took out a form, which showed the communication patterns of other urban revolutionary organizations. Wei Keng said, "You can read it once and burn it."
