Propaganda posters were posted on the notice boards in the city and outside the shops in the market. They were all printed long ago and contained text, mainly to promote the abolition of slavery.
It is said that the prairie owner system will be abolished in Richeng and the eastern grasslands. All the grasslands, rivers, lakes, mountains, etc. in the east will be dedicated to the Prince of Heishanbao by the Yangduluo patriarch on behalf of the Yang clan. However, His Highness the Prince A small tax can be given to all herdsmen for grazing, and the pastures will be divided. The minister appointed by the prince to manage the area will sign a contract with the herdsmen.
The grassland land was not taken back to the principality because if it were to be distributed to herders in the future or a new system was established, it would be troublesome to deal with it legally.
Moreover, under the current principality system, state-owned property is relatively illusory, because there is no outstanding collective leadership like in the previous life. Therefore, if the principality is state-owned, the state-owned property will become unknown to whom. No one will cherish these public properties, and the powerful will try their best to Just get benefits from it.
The poster also preached that aspiring herdsmen should register at the recruitment office as soon as possible, form a militia, and receive training in the new system.
These lectures were broadcast repeatedly on long streets and markets with a loudspeaker attached to an armored vehicle.
…
Just like the feudal era, the market place in the city of Kari was specially fenced off. However, at this time, an armored vehicle was parked at the entrance of the market. The loudspeaker was announcing what slavery was and how the principality would be among the eastern grassland tribes. management and so on.
The tribal soldiers who were guarding the entrance disappeared and were replaced by several Japanese soldiers.
There is also a table set up next to the entrance with the words "Recruitment Office" on it to recruit aspiring young people to form the militia led by the principality.
Of course, nowadays, there are so many people watching, and it is very rare for people to actually register their names.
The space inside the armored vehicle was actually very small, but Lu Ming also sat inside to avoid being shot in the dark.
After all, it is very dangerous now. In a minute, the tribal leaders of the Yang clan will completely break up with themselves.
Yamdra seemed to agree to the duchy's condition that the tribal armed forces surrender their weapons, but it was clear that the actual collection of weapons was far away.
However, the tribal leaders would never have thought that they would start to publicize the evils of slavery in the city of Kari. They would also regard the conditions of surrender that Yangdora had verbally promised as an established fact, and publicize that the Prince of Black Mountain Castle had become the lord of the eastern grassland. , and even described a better life for the herdsmen in the future.
It would be normal if the grassland owners of the Lanyuan tribe or the Geri tribe turned their backs on this.
And if they endure it, the rhythm will be completely controlled by their own side, and slowly they will really have to "submit" to the principality according to the conditions set by their own side.
In short, there is no room for maneuver between fighting or actual surrender.
In this No. 10 armored vehicle, there is another person who is not an armed person of the armored vehicle, and that is Oyumiko, who is wearing a snow-white medical uniform. She should have been responsible for giving a speech, but the herdsmen watched from a distance and listened to the loudspeaker. Radio, but no one dared to really get close to ask questions.
"Oh, someone has gone to the recruitment office. Go down and tell him. You are more articulate and can speak better!" Lu Ming noticed from the observation hole that a young man had gone to the recruitment office.
Oyumiko was about to get out of the car when she was suddenly grabbed by Lu Ming, "It's a scam!"
Gunshots rang out outside.
But when the young man got close, he suddenly took out a box cannon and fired at several Japanese soldiers behind the wooden table in the recruitment office.
The crowd that was originally watching the excitement was immediately thrown into chaos.
Several more vigorous figures ran towards the armored vehicle. The one at the front was holding a bundle of cluster grenades, intending to throw them into the armored vehicle to blow it up.
Lu Ming quickly got into the light machine gun position and fired the trigger at the incoming enemy. Several prairie men who rushed over fell to the ground.
With a loud "boom", the cluster bomb exploded in the arms of the leader of the gangsters, causing screams as they approached, and civilians who ran away without time to react were also affected.
"Kill!" A group of men wielding sabers appeared on the long road in front of the market and swept over on horseback.
The heavy machine gunner and loader were also in position, and the muffled sound like a small cannon echoed in the narrow space of the armored vehicle, making Oyumiko dizzy.
At this time, the city was in chaos, with gunshots everywhere.
Outside the city, the sound of killing was loud, and Liao Sanshi's tribe, who had been preparing for an attack, immediately launched a fierce attack.
…
In fact, when Lu Mingbu received Wang Dayong's report on the intercom, he easily broke through Yangdora's Khan Palace.
Lu Ming already had a feeling that the attack on his company was not planned by Yang Duluo.
His company has always been ready for war, but from the fact that the Yangdala Khan Palace was easily breached, it can be seen that its guards responded to this sudden battle in a hurry. If Yangdala and other tribal leaders had carefully deployed The attack launched later should not have been in this state.
It might just be an act of anger by a certain leader, or it might be an attempt by Yamdra's enemies to kill someone with a knife.
But no matter what the truth is, the Battle of Kori will naturally be defined as the betrayal of the grassland leaders such as Yangdala, and then launched a rebellion after surrendering.
Regardless of whether it was the Sharp Knife Company or Liao Sanshi's troops who later invaded the city, they followed the established strategy and launched a fatal blow to the defenders and guards in the city.
By the time the fighting ended in the evening, the city was filled with corpses.
Except for Yangdala's three sons who were captured alive, all the leaders including Yangdala were shot to death, including Yangdala, who also died in the rebellion.
…
Inside the felt bag, Lu Ming looked at the temporary statistics of the results on the table. It was an approximate number, but it was about the same.
More than a thousand enemies were killed.
Basically, in the city of Keri, the superstructure of the Yang clan and the armed forces that maintained it have been completely wiped out.
In fact, the number of herders in the entire Sanyuan Prairie does not exceed one million.
The three major tribes account for 70% of the total population.
Among the three major tribes, the Ma Quanyou tribe is the largest, with a population of about 300,000, and the Keri tribe is similar to the Hongyuan tribe, with a population of about 170,000 to 80,000.
Therefore, although Gericheng can be regarded as the capital of the eastern grassland, its population does not exceed 20,000.
Moreover, although the grassland herdsmen have had the tradition of all-people soldiers since ancient times, after all, we are already in the age of firearms, and weapons and ammunition are limited. The number of Japanese soldiers equipped with standard weapons can be regarded as 5,000 young men, which is already the limit. There were still three thousand soldiers recruited by Ma Quanyou to fight. Most of the rest were in Geri City. They were captured and surrendered before they were killed.
Looking at the list, many important adult members of the prairie owners have been killed.
The surviving third son of Yamdra is weak-tempered and a little stupid, and is only used as a temporary transitional mascot.
Lu Ming sighed in his heart, his hands were stained with blood now, but if he didn't do this, Sanyuan Grassland would still be ruled by these slave owners over and over again, and there would never be any fundamental change.
