Gaomi County, county government lobby.

The magistrate Zheng Daiyuan was still in the middle seat, and the officers were serving in two squads. On both sides of the hall, there were a row of people with rich and luxurious clothes sitting in each other, all of whom were gentry living in Gaomi County. Of course, these people were instigated by Wan Yufu.

Last night, Wan Yufu recruited the main gentry in Gaomi County at home to explain their interests, of course, they coaxed and deceived them, and exaggerated the land reform behavior of time travelers, saying that the time travelers wanted to kill all the landlords, confiscate the family, rob all the landlords of all the landlords, etc., and it was almost like communist and shared their wives.

However, the land reform carried out by time travelers in Jiaozhou County has indeed caused panic among many gentry. Although these gentry lived in Gaomi County and each had its own operations, they could be regarded as small businessmen, but almost everyone had land estates in the countryside and had a large amount of land. In fact, this phenomenon was very common in ancient Chinese society, because since China has implemented a policy of suppressing commerce throughout the years, land was the main means of production. Therefore, after making money, ancient merchants often used not to expand production and operation, but to purchase land in the countryside and become landlords, or at least to earn camps by industrial and commercial enterprises.

They naturally hated the land policy of the time travelers. In addition, Wan Yufu added fire and exaggerated the words, so the panic of these gentry also expanded greatly. So early this morning, they followed Wan Yufu to the county government office and put pressure on the magistrate Zheng Daiyuan, demanding that Zheng Daiyuan immediately order the whole city to mobilize against the attack of overseas Chinese.

Faced with the pressure from the main gentry of the county town, Zheng Daiyuan was very dissatisfied, but he did not dare to go there easily. He said: "Dear elders, what you said is all a fantasy and nothing is true. Although overseas Chinese have some misconduct in the countryside, they have not violated the city and invaded the town, and are still subject to the rules. If overseas Chinese really want to conquer the city and seize the land, they should have taken Jiaozhou first. There has been no mistake in Jiaozhou yet. I am afraid that your statement will be exaggerated."

Wan Yufu said: "The Lord of the Hall, this is the time and that is the time. At that time, the Chinese were in the state where the Chinese first climbed Shandong. Their foothold was not stable and the people were not attached to them. Naturally, they did not dare to act recklessly. Now, overseas Chinese have been in Shandong for more than half a year, and they feel that they are rich, so they have no scruples in their actions. During this period, overseas Chinese acted so domineeringly, seized people's land and wealth, killed their whole family, set up private courts, and established self-punishment, and used small favors to deceive ignorant people.

, It is a ill-gotten act. Now Gaomi County is in danger. If Tang Zun had not made a decision early, it would be too late to regret it when the overseas Chinese army arrived. The creatures and the gentry and people in this city would probably have suffered the murderous actions of overseas Chinese. Tang Zun is the parents of a county, how can he ignore it? What's more, how can there be a complete egg when the nest is destroyed? If the county town is broken, Tang Zun will be spared, so please think twice."

After Wan Yufu finished speaking, other gentry spoke out, expressing their support for Wan Yufu's suggestion. Some people even suggested that they would rather believe that they had it than that they did not have it. They would mobilize the people of the whole city before they could not visit and hold on for a few days. If overseas Chinese do not come to attack Gaomi County, it would not be too late to lift the city defense status.

Zheng Daiyuan glared at Wan Yufu fiercely, and knew very well that these people were fooled by him. Zheng Daiyuan is the head of a county, so he naturally has his own eyes and ears. Last night, he had heard some rumors. It seemed that the alliance formed by Wan Yufu angered overseas Chinese. The two sides fought a war. As a result, the landlord alliance organized by Wan Yufu was defeated by overseas Chinese. It was probably because he could not stay outside the city, so he ran to the county town, so he persuaded himself to mobilize the whole city.

The people defended the city and resisted overseas Chinese, but in fact they wanted to bring the people from a city to protect themselves. Moreover, Zheng Daiyuan had already made up his mind that Gaomi County could not resist overseas Chinese. If overseas Chinese really came to attack Gaomi County, he could only adopt the six strategies of "not fighting, not being in harmony, not defending, not dying, not surrendering, and not leaving", and perhaps he could still protect himself. Wan Yufu and Zheng Daiyuan had already made up their minds and handed him over to overseas Chinese for disposal.

But now Wan Yufu convinced more than 20 gentry in Gaomi County to jointly put pressure on him, which also made Zheng Daiyuan feel a little embarrassed. These people are all local forces, and some are in the prefectures, and even in the province, they have some connections. If they offend them all, even if overseas Chinese don’t come to attack Gaomi County, the county master may not be able to do it for a long time.

At this moment, with a "bang", the gate of the county government was knocked open, and a soldier almost rolled and crawled into the county government government. He didn't care about the full staff and shouted: "Master, Master, the overseas Chinese army is here, here."

Zheng Daiyuan was shocked when he heard this, and the other gentry were also shocked. Wan Yufu was even more scared and pale in his face. He never expected that overseas Chinese would come so quickly, and he regretted it. If he had known this, he would have escaped from Gaomi County immediately and flew away. At least he could save his life, but now he was trapped in Gaomi City.

However, Zheng Daiyuan is the leader of a county after all, and he is more calm than others. He also estimated that overseas Chinese would attack Gaomi County, but he did not expect that it would come so quickly, so he immediately said: "Don't be busy, slowly, the overseas Chinese army has arrived there."

The soldier took a few breaths before saying, "Master, the overseas Chinese army is right in front of the city. They said they would come to the city to capture Wan... Wanshu Office?"

When Wan Yufu heard this, his body trembled and he couldn't help but tremble. He looked at Zheng Daiyuan and said in a trembling voice: "Dang...Dang Zun, you must not let overseas Chinese come to the city..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud "boom" sound outside the yamen, as if it was setting off firecrackers. Then he also heard a few "bangs" sounds like sporadic firecrackers. Everyone in the yamen couldn't help but be beating. Could it be that overseas Chinese have already started to set up cannons to attack the city?

Just when everyone was shocked and confused, two more soldiers ran into the county government office and said angrily: "Master, Master, big master, something is wrong. Overseas Chinese people used cannons to open the city gate and rushed into the city."

At this moment, the gentry suddenly became a mess, and Wan Yufu had collapsed into the seat. Several gentry ran to the table and said, "Dang Zun, Tang Zun, what should I do? You are that idea." Someone burst into tears.

In fact, Zheng Daiyuan was a little helpless at this time. After all, overseas Chinese were no longer at the city, but he had suddenly entered the city. It turned out that Zheng Daiyuan's plan was that after overseas Chinese soldiers came to the city, he should send someone to talk to him about conditions. Even if he entered the city, he would at least ensure that he would not disturb the residents in the city. Even if he was messing around, he would have a limit. However, he did not expect that overseas Chinese would not greet him at all and would do it. He didn't know how overseas Chinese would treat him? He also had his own family, two concubines and a daughter, both of whom were young and young. If the overseas Chinese army came in a mess, wouldn't it be too late? But now it's too late to ask his family to commit suicide.

Just when the county government was in chaos, a dense sound of footsteps came. More than a dozen soldiers in gray-green uniforms, holding a very bright bayonet rifle, broke into the county government, and pointed the black muzzle at the people in the lobby. They shouted, "Don't move, don't move."

Everyone was also shocked. Some of the officers were so clever that they quickly raised their hands to express their surrender.

After a while, one of the soldiers who seemed to be a small leader stepped forward and said, "Where is the magistrate of Gaomi County?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes immediately focused on Zheng Daiyuan. Although Zheng Daiyuan's heart was beating and his hands and legs were weak, they knew that they could not escape at this time. Therefore, Wu Qiang stabilized his emotions, stood up from behind the table, and tried his best to keep his voice steady, saying, "I am the magistrate of Gaomi County, Zheng Daiyuan, I don't know what the Guizhong calls him?"

The soldier looked at Zheng Daiyuan and said, "We are the People's Army, are you the magistrate of Gaomi County? So who are these?"

Zheng Daiyuan looked around and said, "These are all local gentry in Gaomi County. If you have something to discuss with the county, you will enter the county and don't know what you intend to do."

After hearing this, the gentry all breathed a little relieved. Fortunately, Zheng Daiyuan did not say that his group was discussing how to deal with overseas Chinese, otherwise the consequences would be very serious. Some people regretted it at this time and should not have believed Wan Yufu's encouragement and put pressure on the magistrate to deal with overseas Chinese, but now it has become a fish on the anvil.

However, the soldier didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and asked the soldiers to go to the lobby, looked at everyone, and said, "I want to report to our regiment commander, he will decide what to do with you. Now you stay here honestly, don't move around, we can ensure your safety." As he said, he said to the other soldiers, "Look at them all, I'll report to the regiment commander." After that, he turned around and left the county government.

The third regiment that invaded Gaomi County was the third regiment, whose commander was Zhang Mingde. He was originally a company commander of the 6th Navy Team. Now the 15 regiments formed by the People's Army are all led by the original company commander or deputy company commander as the regiment commander.

It turned out that after the two regiments arrived at Menbu Village, the action immediately began, and in the company, the 12 villages where the landlords who participated in the landlord alliance attacked at the same time. Zhang Mingde led the two battalions to collect Gaomi County.
