Xu Tong gave an order, and the revolutionary army mobilized two brigades to attack around Ba County in battalion units, targeting the surrounding villages. After the military victory, they immediately launched land reform and completely eliminated the local landlords.
Moreover, before taking action, Xu Tong was very "intimate" and wrote a leaflet announcing his action and asked his subordinates to project it into Ba County.
Not coming out, right?
Then I will kill you.
Anyway, the literacy rate of the city defense troops in Ba County should be relatively high now, so as long as the leaflets are shown to them, they will definitely understand them and they will be very happy.
Sure enough, when the revolutionary army began to carry out land reform in the surrounding areas and crack down on the powerful landlords, the landlords and powerful landlords in Ba County felt a little pressure.
There is a war here, and the revolutionary army over there is about to destroy the home base. Who can bear this?
Their way of releasing stress is also very simple.
For example, some people who were more family-oriented directly asked Fang Qianxin to open the city gate. They wanted to go back and save their families.
But it is impossible for Fang Qianxin to allow the city gate to be opened. What is the difference between opening the city gate and surrendering directly?
He tried his best to stop them and told them not to open the city gate, otherwise they would be wiped out by the revolutionary army.
"If my family is harmed, I might as well die!"
Obviously these powerful landlords of the Gu family have lost their minds. Fang Qianxin failed to stop them. Seeing that they were about to attack the city gate, he had no choice but to order an attack and kill them.
The first internal fighting broke out in the city.
Not many people in the Gu family lost their minds when the Gu family arrived. Fang Qianxin led his own troops to kill them, which was barely enough to calm down the civil strife. However, the atmosphere in the city has also undergone subtle changes. Not everyone can calm down. Stay angry.
Especially when the revolutionary army sent people to drop leaflets into the city every day to "report" on today's battle situation, the atmosphere in the city became even worse.
Finally, on October 11th of the seventh year of Hongwu, an action against Fang Qianxin broke out in Baxian City.
The powerful men could no longer tolerate Fang Qianxin's behavior.
They angrily scolded Fang Qianxin, saying that Fang Qianxin’s family was not outside the city, but their family and several generations of family property were outside the city. Fang Qianxin had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry, but they wanted to destroy his family!
Of course Fang Qianxin would not think about these powerful landowners. Their dead families had nothing to do with him. He only needed to ensure that the city was not lost. He didn't care about anything else.
This is an irreconcilable conflict between him and the local powerful people.
The two sides launched a final showdown. He was out of strength and his headquarters was defeated by a powerful coalition. Seeing that he could not stop the powerful forces from leaving the city to save people, Fang Qianxin committed suicide in despair.
After he committed suicide, the powerful coalition forces opened the city gate and rushed back to save his family, facing the revolutionary army's blockade.
Of course they could not break through the solid blockade from the revolutionary army.
Xu Tong arranged the musketeers into the front-line army, allowing the musketeers to show their prowess.
Waves of white smoke rose in front of the formation, and bursts of explosions rang in my ears.
The Musketeers were not many in number, but they achieved great results. The powerful coalition forces that charged intensively suffered a large number of casualties under such blows. When the revolutionary army's hand-to-hand combat troops came forward to fight with them, the powerful coalition forces were already beaten and dizzy. .
Soon, the battle was over. The revolutionary army won a complete victory and easily captured the county seat of Ba County. The powerful coalition forces were completely annihilated and were subsequently completely liquidated by the revolutionary army.
A considerable number of the powerful landowners in Chongqing Prefecture came to participate in this battle. After they were all executed by the Ming army, the progress of land reform in Chongqing Prefecture was greatly advanced.
The capture of Baxian County meant that the Chongqing Prefecture's defense had come to an end. Under the command of Xu Tong, the revolutionary army quickly swept through many strategic locations around Baxian for defense, preparing to further invade Luzhou.
In fact, at this point, Xu Tong had already opened the way into the Chengdu Plain.
However, when he was stationed in Chongqing Prefecture to reorganize his troops and prepare to launch a new offensive, he learned that the Chengdu Plain had also been reduced to a pot of porridge.
Through the analysis of the latest intelligence, he found that there were seven more forces on the Chengdu Plain that the Chengdu court could not deal with. Each of them had a certain strength, and the reason why they were in this situation made Xu Tong feel very... surprise.
"I thought that no matter how problematic Zhao Buxi was, he would not force his own army to rebel. But he actually forced his army to rebel. As an emperor, he actually did this. I never thought that he would do it. think."
Xu Tong expressed considerable dissatisfaction with the changes within several peasant rebel armies.
"I thought they could still adhere to some principles, but it changed so quickly. The chairman is right. A simple peasant uprising is really just resistance for the sake of resistance. Without long-term planning and its own strategy, it can easily be usurped by others. How long has it been since we took over the leadership? Each and every one of those leaders has suffered hardships, so why don’t they have such long memories?”
Zhou Qiang, who rushed to Chongqing to join him, was not surprised by this.
"Don't talk about them, hasn't something like this happened within us? When you have a beautiful woman, you don't have to be idealistic. Both of them want to hold the beautiful girl and enjoy themselves, completely forgetting why they are resisting.
How many people did the chairman kill to suppress this evil trend? Because of that incident, it is now possible to stipulate monogamy for members of the Renaissance, and concubines are not allowed. It can be seen that the issue of men and women has always been a very serious issue. The ancients said that it is difficult for heroes to be beautiful, and it is true. "
"Can you be called a hero if you are bewitched by a beautiful woman in just a few words? That is just a hero, not a hero. A hero will never be confused by beauty, and will even actively refuse the temptation of beauty. For example, our chairman Mrs. Zhao has a wife, that’s the real hero!”
Xu Tong said disdainfully: "They stood up for justice, only to be blown away by a woman and forget their original justice and courage. Even after being baptized with blood, they are still like this. That can only mean that they have stopped here! A bunch of insects!" How dare you call yourself a hero?"
Zhou Qiang immediately glanced at Xu Tonggao.
"That's good, then... your boy hasn't married yet, right?"
"Having a wife will only affect the speed of my army!"
Xu Tong laughed and said: "My goal is the same as the chairman's. The day when the revival organization will spread all over the world will be the day when Xu Tong gets married and has children. Before that, I don't plan to get married."
Zhou Qiang, who is now 28 years old, married and has children, feels a little speechless about this.
But looking at Xu Tong's serious expression, he seemed to feel that Xu Tong really planned this.
However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that this was not a big problem.
Xu Tong started the revolution with Su Yonglin at the age of sixteen. He is just twenty-four years old this year. Looking at the country, he is also the youngest person among the military general-level officers and the provincial-level director of the Fuxing Society.
At such a young age, it is not impossible to change his thoughts on marriage and love in the future. It is better to say that he has not met the woman he likes. If he did, he would not believe that Xu Tong could really hold back his impulse.
Just like before Zhou Qiang and his wife met in the refugee wave after the Battle of Xiangfan, he also felt that he would devote his whole life to the revolutionary cause and would never be shaken by other things.
Then it smells really good.
From reporting to entering the bridal chamber, the whole process took less than half a month.
So, these are all small things, very, very small things.
So Zhou Qiang smiled.
"It seems that the fate of the Chengdu court will be over soon, and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period will appear in Sichuan and Shu."
"Then it's better to say goodbye."
Xu Tong thought for a while and said: "I suggest that we tell the Zhongdu about this matter and let the chairman make a decision whether to let the Qilu Corps reorganize and enter Sichuan. With our current strength, it is still a bit difficult to conquer Sichuan and Shu. It's difficult and takes a lot of time.
And with all this time, it is still unknown to what extent these seven forces will torment Sichuan and Shu. We should have never expected that Zhao Buxi could turn a good situation into such a fragmented state, right? "
Zhou Qiang was silent for a while and nodded slowly.
"I really didn't expect that Zhao Buxi could actually force his own army to rebel. I originally thought that the chaos in Sichuan and Shu would be a contest between the imperial army and the rebel army. Now it seems that it is completely a situation of the Warring States Period. Sichuan and Shu are fighting for hegemony. Sure enough, Shu can’t continue to be in chaos.”
