Zhang Shuheng asked: "Duke Chu, after all, this place is different from Jiangnan. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Even if we attack the gentry and powerful here and divide the land to the peasants. But what should we do after we leave? Those gentry will definitely not be willing to be separated by the peasants, and they will still kill them with people. Our Jinyiwei will not be stationed in Guangdong for a long time." Wang Quan also said worriedly: "Brother, we cannot set up military households in Guangdong again. If our power expands too much, it will probably arouse suspicion of the court. At that time, we will have to rebel if we do not rebel."

"I think of another way, there will definitely be a way to deal with it." Li Guodong replied.

It is too early to rebel now. The Ming Dynasty, which only half of the country, has not yet been resolved, and the internal and external troubles of Chongzhen have not been resolved. We must abandon the orthodox Chongzhen and become king. Then not only the gentry in the world will oppose it. It is estimated that even the Donglin Party in Jiangnan and the Maritime Merchant Group in Fujian will oppose it.

At present, Li Guodong used the orthodox banner of Chongzhen to defeat the tyrants and divide the land on Guangdong land in the name of clearing rebellion. He labeled all the landlords and gentry as if they were denied the rebellion, and then divided their land.

In Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and other places, the local tyrants were killed, but Emperor Chongzhen agreed that Li Zicheng had captured the capital, and Chongzhen's wife almost died. Even Chongzhen himself had already made plans to die for the king. If it weren't for Zhang Shuheng, if it weren't for Li Guodong, Chongzhen would have died long ago. Therefore, Chongzhen followed the roots and hated those gentry to the core.

Although according to the Ming Dynasty, the emperor and scholars ruled the world together, those scholars only care about their own wealth and even ignored the lives of the emperor, which made Chongzhen very disappointed with them.

Chongzhen still could not eliminate all the gentry in the world, but he could use the Jinyiwei to charge some of the gentry and then deprive them of their property reasonably and legally. For example, on the way to the south, Chongzhen took charge of many gentry for the crime of tyrants and went all the way. After the Qing army entered the pass, Chongzhen once again took charge of the crime of tyrants.

This time, the gentry of Guangdong and Huguang supported King Gui ascended the throne, which gave Chongzhen an excuse to plot against rebellion. He was able to wave his butcher knives at a large number of gentry, first cut off the heads of a group of people, then confiscate their property, convert the fields into public fields, and then distribute them to farmers.

But what Zhang Shuheng said was indeed a problem. The Huai Army carried out a land revolution and divided the land of the landlords and gentry. As a result, the Huai Army went north to take the captives. As soon as Li Guodong and the others left, the landlords and gentry returned home groups and brought them back, and they even changed the accounts. At that time, the unlucky people would be the people who were unlucky.

After some careful consideration, Li Guodong finally came up with a way to deal with the return group: "We can help the farmers who have obtained the land form militias and build forts. If the return group dares to come back, just hit them!"

"But can we defeat the gentry's servants by organizing those peasants?" Wang Quan asked worriedly.

"Recruiting shanty townspeople, recruiting a group of shanty townspeople from the mountainous areas. We train those shanty townspeople, then organize them into militias, and work with the local people to protect their land." Li Guodong replied.

Those shanty towns in the mountainous areas are refugees who do not have household registration. They have no household registration and are homeless. They hide deeply in the mountainous areas and live in their own sheds. In the Zhongzhen Camp adapted from the trespassing army, many soldiers are the original shanty townsmen.

"General Li, let me leave the matter of recruiting hangren people to your Zhongzhen Camp." Li Guodong said to Li Guo.

"Please rest assured that Duke Chu, I will definitely do this!" Li Guo patted his chest and promised to do it.

Although it is not impossible for Li Guodong to recruit gang people, it will be difficult. Those gang people live in the southern mountainous areas. They have been living in the late Yuan Dynasty to the present for more than 300 years. They are regarded as a treachery by the government, but they can survive in places that cannot be controlled by the Ming Dynasty for so long, which means that the officers and soldiers cannot find them at all. Therefore, if the Huai Army came forward to find gang people, I am afraid that as soon as the army enters the mountain, those people will not know where they will go long ago.

Zhongzhen Camp is different. Li Zicheng was defeated many times, and he hid in the mountains, then recruited the gangs to join the army, and then came out of the mountains. Zhongzhen Camp's familiarity with the gangs was like his own family.

In the original time and space, after the failure of the Southern Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty, Zhongzhen Camp was the last group of people who insisted on fighting against the Qing Dynasty on the road, and they relied on the support of the shanty townsmen.

About 1,000 soldiers from Zhongzhen Camp, led by Li Guo, went to the mountainous areas to recruit hangren. Another group of soldiers from Zhongzhen Camp stayed in Longchuan and were ready to deal with the landlords and gentry returning home groups that counterattacked Longchuan.

Speaking of hatred for those tax-free landlords and gentry, the soldiers of the Zhongzhen Camp are the most bitter and hatred. Most of them are from poor peasants and have suffered from the scourge of the landlords and gentry. If they hadn't survived, why would they have rebelled at the risk of beheading? Now in the face of national justice, they have chosen to cooperate with the former enemy, the Ming Dynasty.

Two days later, Li Guodong personally led two thousand Huai Army soldiers to fight toward Shangmakeng. Zhang Shuheng followed the Huai Army with the 500 Jinyiwei, and the rest of the factory guards were temporarily staying in the city. To deal with a small village, there was no need to dispatch so many factory guards.

After two hours of march, two thousand officers and soldiers and five hundred Jinyiwei arrived at Shangmakeng.

"The officers and soldiers are here!"

"There are also Jinyiwei! Those eagle claw grandsons who are well-raised by dog ​​girls!"

"The court hawk is here!"

"Run!"

When the Huai Army entered the village, the people's reaction was better. But when the Jinyiwei came, the people seemed to have seen the Japanese enter the village. For a moment, the small village was full of chaos. The old man sighed, the young man dared not speak out, the woman screamed, and the child cried.

In fact, the gentry who are really afraid of the Jinyiwei should be those gentry. The Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei has never done anything to harm the people. I thought that the birth of the Jinyiwei was not originally intended to deal with ordinary people. The Jinyiwei mainly dealt with court officials, and also worked part-time in intelligence work. In fact, the Jinyiwei is equivalent to the combination of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the National Security Bureau, the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Anti-Corruption Bureau in later generations.

Even if the Jinyiwei in the capital learns from time to time to collect store protection fees, it is not a disaster to the people. Among the shops in the capital, most of the backend owners of the shops are court officials, and they don’t even pay taxes. The Jinyiwei comes to collect some money and provides support for his brothers. Is it wrong to have it?

More than 100 people from Li Guodong's Huai Army brought Jinyiwei into the village. The other brothers quickly formed formations outside the village and surrounded the small village, so that even a fly could not fly out of it.

After the Wubai Jinyiwei rushed into the village, he immediately surrounded the largest yard in the village.

In this small village, the people's houses are almost all thatched huts with a brick wall. There are few brick and tile houses. But in the middle of the village, there is a three-in-one courtyard with white walls on all sides and a two-meter-high gate on the front. The gate is painted with vermilion paint, and there are two stone lions outside. You can tell at a glance that it is a wealthy courtyard.

Needless to say, the thatched hut is a house for ordinary farmers; those brick and tile houses are houses for some small landlords, rich peasants and wealthy middle peasants. As for this courtyard, it is the patriarch here. Since it is the patriarch, it is almost certain that he is a famous and famous village master.

The Jinyiwei has already investigated it clearly. The person living here is a juren, who is also a respected clan leader in the village.

"Open the door!" An officer from the Jinyiwei's hundred households walked forward, grabbed the copper buckle, and slapped the door hard.
Chapter completed!
