Chapter 91: Qingzhou Rebellion (4)
This made Liu Qinglin feel at ease. Although the number of troops garrisons in the Eight Banners was large and fierce, they were just a group of mobs. They had no rules and tactics and had no morale and morale, and they were not as good as the Boxer Regiment. At least the Boxer Regiment was not afraid of death. Therefore, after the Eight Banners garrisons retreated, Liu Qinglin immediately ordered a fire strike on the positions of the Eight Banners garrisons.
This People's Army is only equipped with rifles and does not even have machine guns, so it is far less powerful than the Eight Banners garrison. However, through the battle just now, the People's Army has basically figured out the distribution position of the Eight Banners garrison positions. Moreover, the firepower of the Eight Banners garrison is dispersed and there is no accurate head, which is not afraid. So the People's Army concentrated its firepower and continuously attacked the Eight Banners garrison positions, which indeed made the Eight Banners garrison unable to raise their heads, and many casualties were killed and killed.
Seeing this, Wenrui did not dare to hold on any longer, so he quickly ordered the withdrawal of his troops. He retreated 3 or 4 miles away from the People's Army's rifle range and stopped. It was during this day's battle that nearly 100 people were killed and nearly 100 others were injured. Wenrui realized that the overseas Chinese army was indeed not easy to mess with.
The next day, the people's army from other places rushed back one after another, but at this time Liu Qinglin was not anxious to join forces, but planned to take a bigger action. So he immediately ordered the troops returning to the rescue to station near Qiangou Zhuanghuan in the company. After all the troops arrived, they would join forces to attack and completely defeat the Eight Banners garrison in one fell swoop.
However, before the People's Army was ready for the joint attack, the Eight Banners garrison took the initiative to withdraw. It turned out that in the battle of this day, the Eight Banners garrison finally understood the combat effectiveness of the People's Army, and most of the soldiers were unwilling to fight again. After all, most of the people were civilians, and they followed them to take only the three cents of silver given by Wenrui and the promised property of overseas Chinese. Of course, many people had already made a fortune in the nearby villages after fighting the overseas Chinese.
But after fighting, I realized that overseas Chinese were not easy to deal with. Not to mention that they could not rob them, if they really fought hard, they would not even be able to save their lives. Besides, overseas Chinese were not robbing them, so why should they have to fight to the death? So many soldiers started to clamor and demanded that Wenrui withdraw his troops and insisted on not attacking Qiangou Village anymore.
Faced with the wavering of the morale of the army, Wenrui had no choice but to follow the wishes of the soldiers and withdraw his troops back to the city. As for what to do next, is it a big deal that the court must take charge of it.
Liu Qinglin did not expect that the Eight Banners garrison would be like this, and they withdrew their troops after a siege. His plan to siege was also gone. However, Liu Qinglin was not willing to let the Eight Banners garrison run away like this, so he immediately ordered all troops to pursue the Eight Banners garrison. As a result, the People's Army chased them fiercely, and indeed caught the Eight Banners garrison. After that, he killed them and defeated the Eight Banners garrison. He captured more than 300 prisoners. But after all, he failed to block the encirclement and annihilate the Eight Banners garrison.
However, despite repelling the Eight Banners garrison, the Land Reform Commission did not dare to be careless. What if the Eight Banners garrison came back? Although the Eight Banners garrison had no combat effectiveness, they were crowded after all, so the People's Army was not afraid of joining forces with one another. However, if it was still scattered like before, it would be difficult to preserve it. However, the land reform work in various places could not be stopped, otherwise all the previous work would be abolished.
Finally, everyone decided that the land reform work would still proceed as usual, but the People's Army had to strengthen the vigilance in nearby areas. Moreover, the land reform teams did not spend the night in each village. They had to rush back to Qiangou Village before night, and they would evacuate quickly once there was a turbulence. However, some villages that were too far away and could not return to the day could only suspend the land reform work. After all, the land reform team, because it is the safety of time travelers, is the first priority.
Despite this, the land reform work has also had a great impact. Various rumors have spread in nearby villages, saying that the court has already sent troops to wipe out overseas Chinese, so they cannot grow up, and the land they robbed will be taken back, and those who have accepted the land allocated by overseas Chinese will be punished by the court, etc., which has also caused land reform to be implemented. The villagers who have completed land reform are panic, not only are they afraid that the land they have just obtained will be lost again, but they are also afraid that they will be implicated and sued.
Although the land reform teams have resumed their work and repeatedly claimed that the Eight Banners garrisons have been defeated by the People's Army, the villagers still cannot relieve the concerns in their hearts. After all, the land reform teams used to live in various villages, but now they only come late and leave early. Who can still believe what the land reform team said? Some villagers have refused to accept the land they distributed, and a few timid villagers even wanted to return the land they distributed. Moreover, some original landlords have become bolder. Although they dare not resist blatantly, they are quite rude to the land reform team in their words, and even some intimidating words appear. The situation in those villages that have suspended the land reform has been even worse.
Liu Chengping couldn't help but worry and could not continue to implement land reform in Qingzhou, but now he has no good idea. It would be very risky to restore work among land reform groups. If they were allowed to stay in various villages for the night, if something really happened, he would not be able to bear this responsibility. He could only wait for the support troops from Qingdao to arrive as soon as possible and completely relieve the worries of the Eight Banners garrison, so that each village could restore confidence in the land reform group. It was not until Luo Yue led the troops to Qiangou Village that Liu Chengping was relieved.
After understanding these situations, Luo Yue also calmed down a lot. It seemed that the situation in Qingzhou was not bad. As long as he defeated the Eight Banners garrison in Qingzhou, the situation in Qingzhou could be completely reversed. So Luo Yue asked about Qingzhou City and the situation in the city, but Liu Chengping was not clear about this. At this moment, two people found Qiangou Village, which turned out to be outside personnel located in Qingzhou City by the Ministry of Security.
Although the East China government does not fully control the entire Shandong area, the Ministry of Security has taken the lead and has set up strongholds in major cities in Shandong to arrange personnel to understand the affairs of various places as soon as possible. Therefore, when something happened in Qingzhou, the Ministry of Security immediately contacted the outside personnel in Qingzhou to let them cooperate with the People's Army's actions.
Luo Yue immediately met these two people and asked about the current situation of the Eight Banners garrison. At this time, the two of them also asked about the instinct of this incident in Qingzhou. Of course, they could not know that this was the result of Feng Ruzhi's instigation, but the land reform of the interests of the Manchus was the most fundamental reason. Moreover, the two also told Luo Yue an important news that Qingzhou City is in chaos now, and the Eight Banners garrison is robbing and plundering in Qingzhou City.
It turned out that when the troops were withdrawn, they were pursued by the People's Army. Although the Eight Banners garrison escaped, the losses exceeded 1,000 people. The soldiers also complained about Wenrui, blaming Wenrui for not provoking overseas Chinese, which made people lose their troops and generals now. Wenrui was also quite worried at this time. Although Guojie made the matter a big deal, only looking at the loss of nearly 1,000 people, the court could not stand by and watch. It must interfere in Shandong affairs and curb overseas Chinese. However, it also aroused the resentment of the soldiers. It would definitely not be explained if they went back to the city like this. Even the families of the fallen soldiers would not let them go. Therefore, they had to find a way to resolve the resentment of the soldiers.
Wenrui knew that it was very simple to resolve the resentment of the soldiers, which was to let the soldiers find a place to loot, so that every soldier could make a fortune, and after he went back, he could also pay the families of the fallen soldiers so that he could deal with it. The only place where the 3,4000 Eight Banners garrisons robbed was Qingzhou City. And Wenrui had no scruples about this, because he was the Eight Banners garrison, and looting a place was not a big deal in this era.
So Wenrui immediately won the unanimous agreement of the soldiers when he talked about his ideas to the soldiers. Therefore, Wenrui immediately led his troops straight to Qingzhou City. Wenrui personally called to open the city gate and then led the soldiers into Qingzhou City. The Eight Banners garrison immediately dispersed into various teams and looted everywhere in Qingzhou City.
Although Qingzhou is not a big city like Jinan, it is a prefecture-level city after all. There are many shops, transactions, and business stores in the city, but it is all bad. The Eight Banners soldiers broke into the shops and robbed them in the shops. However, the boss stopped him slightly. The light was a punch and kick, and the worst was a sword and gun, and he could not even save his life. Therefore, many residents in Qingzhou City died in the chaos.
Originally, Wen Rui just wanted to steal one and leave, but once the army was released, it was not easy to collect the roster. Moreover, the soldiers also knew that there were not many opportunities like this, so it was only a little more to grab. Some people even planned to quit their job after finishing this ticket, and they would do a small business and live a life. There were also soldiers who snatched a lot of gold, silver and wealth, and then snatched people, which harmed many women.
Feng Ruyi, the governor of Qingzhou, has been paying attention to the movements of the Eight Banners garrisons. He knew that they had suffered a great loss from overseas Chinese, and he was still a little gloating. He finally taught these people a lesson. Overseas Chinese may not be able to do anything about this time. The court must come forward to take care of overseas Chinese and let them restrain themselves. When Feng Ruyi knew that the Eight Banners garrisons were snatching Qingzhou City, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and at the same time he regretted that he had known this, he wouldn't have asked Su Wenrui to be provoked by overseas Chinese. As a result, they could not beat overseas Chinese, but they used Qingzhou City to vent their anger. He really shot himself in the foot.
