The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 270
Within three days, Jiang's army's squad swept all the villages around Liaoyang.

In the beginning, few Manchus were willing to voluntarily surrender. In the end, the teams of Jiang’s army hung strings of human heads with pigtails of money on Matou Mountain. They went to the villages and threw these human heads in front of them first. , the speed of the village's attachment suddenly accelerated a lot.

Of course, there are also some small troubles.Some Manchu or Mongolian minor nobles or larger landowners did not live in villages like ordinary Manchus, but in small earthen cities surrounded by walls.

Of course, the height and thickness of these small earthen cities cannot be compared with Liaoyang City, but they also have certain defensive capabilities. For cavalry, it is indeed impossible to directly break through on horseback.

Moreover, these small nobles generally have dozens or hundreds of private soldiers under their command, so it is a little troublesome to deal with them.

After they received the news that other villages had been trampled by Jiang's army, they all hid in the earthen city, organized the Han slaves to hold weapons, and guarded the city under the leadership of private soldiers.

Those who went to the countryside were all cavalry, and there was nothing they could do for the time being.Finally, after the initial stalemate, some of the cavalry left to monitor them, while others continued to bypass these earthen cities and continue to clear other villages.

When the news came up, Jiang Chuan directly ordered the cavalry to go to the countryside with the ballista and trebuchets of the engineering battalion.

Although the range and power of the trebuchet and the ballista are not as good as the red cannon, they are still easy to deal with these earthen cities.

Under the violent blows of ballistas and catapults, the earth-rammed walls of Tucheng quickly collapsed, and then the cavalry rushed in.

After the cavalry of the Jiang family army rushed in, there was a massacre. All the men with weapons they met were cut down with a knife, and all the children who were higher than the wheels were also killed. Only some young women and children were left He was held as a prisoner.

The remaining earth cities were also destroyed after the addition of trebuchets and ballistas, and the end was the same.

After all these earthen cities were breached, no one in the remaining villages dared to resist looking at the strings of human heads hanging on the high poles.

It even happened that the Han slaves in a village staged a riot, took the initiative to capture and kill the Manchu slave owners in the village, and brought their heads to Jiang's army.

After thoroughly cleaning up these Manchu slave owners, Jiang Chuan carried out the second step of completely conquering these villages: dividing the fields.

Liu Ji sent a small official from the Department of Civil Affairs to take soldiers to each village to measure the land. After measuring all the land, they made a record and registered them one by one, and then allocated [-] mu of land to all the Han people according to their heads. And issued a land deed to them, stamped with the seal of the government.

The enthusiasm of the Han people assigned to the land was activated at once, and it was only then that they really felt the benefits of Marquis Wu'an's rule of this land.

Jiang Chuan then sent someone to announce that all the farmers allocated to the land only need to pay [-]% of the land tax in the first year, and only pay [-]% to the government every year from the second year onwards, and the rest is all their own.

Moreover, the government provided seeds and cattle for free.

This great good news made these Han people who used to work to death but could only live in a state of starvation surprised and delighted. They all felt that there was a pie in the sky, and they couldn't believe it.

It wasn't until the government sent people to help them plow the spring with oxen and seeds that they knew that the government kept what it said.

Later, after they heard about the fact that Marquis Wu'an, who now occupies Liaoyang City, established a tree in Liaoyang last year, they became more convinced that they were not dreaming.

As soon as these two policies to benefit the people came out, these oppressed Han people really came back to life, tears of hope appeared in the eyes that were originally only sackcloth in pain, and this time they began to feel like human beings. Losing the hope and motivation to live, he supported Jiang Chuan from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan also asked people to bring food from Liaoyang City to help these Han farmers who had just been liberated and reborn, so that they could spend this lean time.

These policies and practices made these Han people deeply feel that the Marquis of Wu'an is really sincere to them, so they all fell to their knees in the fields and knelt down in the fields, facing Liaoyang from afar, and thanked the Marquis of Wu'an for his life. Grace.

Seeing that these Han people really supported him, Jiang Chuan implemented the third step at this time.

He first gathered the captured Manchu slave owners, asked them to accuse them of crimes, and guided these Han people to come forward to accuse these Manchu slave owners of oppressing and harming them, and finally made more Han people feel emotional. The sympathy for the Tartars further intensified and fermented.

Many even cried bitterly at this kind of complaint meeting, thinking of their relatives and friends who were tortured and killed by these Tartars, they were even more furious. There was even a case where a Tartar slave owner was beaten to death by the Han people in public, and there was no body left. .

Regarding these things, Jiang Chuan also had expectations, so he asked the people below to let the people vent, and try not to interfere.

Under Jiang Chuan's intentional connivance, many Tartar slave owners who surrendered were beaten to death by the oppressed Han people. Among them, a guy who committed a lot of crimes was directly bitten to death by the people. Not even a relatively complete corpse could be assembled.

After complaining, the small officials of the Civil Affairs Department sent to various villages guide the people who gave them their new life now and the good life in the future, so that the people can finally understand that it was given to them by Wu'an Hou Jiangchuan, so we must Know how to be grateful and be loyal to Marquis Wu'an.

And the best way to be loyal to Marquis Wu'an is to protect your current land and property, don't let the tartars take it from your hands, work hard in the future, and pay the grain and tax on time and according to the amount.

Through the deliberate guidance of these small officials, these enslaved Han people have a deeper understanding that their original suffering was caused by the brutal Tartars, and that the good life today is won by Marquis Wu'an with tens of thousands of soldiers fighting bloody battles for them. Therefore, the support for Jiang Chuan and the determination to defend his new life were even more aroused in his heart.

Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Chuan took advantage of the situation and asked the Han people in each village to form a field protection team. He organized able-bodied male villagers to join them and armed them with old weapons from the Qing army's arsenal in Liaoyang. A scale of 100 people is formed, and each village's field protection team has two captains and deputy captains.

The captain was appointed by a soldier from the Jiang Family Army, and the vice-captain was chosen by the common people themselves.

All the people who joined the field protection team can pay half of the annual land tax compared to others.
