They have to unite and work with the government to suppress those landlords with bad consciences, so that those coveted lands can truly be divided into their own hands.

What's more, there is extra land to be taken, which is a great deal no matter how you think about it.

Having made up their minds, the villagers took action.

First, people were sent to the county town to read the notice, and then to several neighboring villages to notify other villagers.

Most of the people in the neighboring villages are related, so of course they believe what their relatives and friends say.

Soon, the scattered villagers formed a network, waiting for the government to give a call, and then they would pounce like tigers on the landlords and powerful forces who were also ready to take action.

Not only were the villagers looking forward to dividing the land, they were also eager for the next battle.

The same was true for the soldiers who had just surrendered to the Lord Du'e.

Because the gods have already ordered that after the land is divided, all those who are thirty-five years old or above can retire and go home.

Many veterans hope to gain more military merits and share more spoils before retiring.

After all, the God had already issued a military order long ago that if any resistance was encountered, 30% of the proceeds from the confiscation of property could be distributed among the soldiers according to their military merits.

How much money that would be!

Sharing the spoils is something that not only the veterans are looking forward to, but also the other soldiers who do not have to retire.

In the past, wars were terrible, with many casualties and injuries.

But now, there are so many treasures waiting for them to take and divide, it is worth risking their lives.

Moreover, this time they were fighting not for power and profit, but to seize land from the landlords and gentry for countless people who came from poor backgrounds like them.

This will not only enable countless poor people to live a good life from now on, but also fight for themselves.

After they retire from the army, they will be allocated land like ordinary people.

Before retiring from the army, their families were also among the ordinary people who were allocated land.

In short, in the twelve prefectures ruled by Chen Qingzhu, both the military and civilians were eager to fight.

On the third day after the decree was issued, the distribution of land officially began.

Of course, not all counties in the twelve prefectures carried out this operation simultaneously.

Instead, start from where there are garrisons.

First, after leaving 30% of the troops for defense, the remaining 70% of the troops directly charged into the city and began to confiscate the properties of the wealthy families in the city who had not paid their taxes on time.

After getting the account books, the clerks in the government office who were responsible for dividing the land would make the calculations, while the army would continue to the county town and town to search the houses.

After the house search is completed, the land will be distributed to each household according to the amount of land recorded in the account books of these wealthy households, and will be registered and filed on the spot.

After finishing one, proceed to another.

Of course, this process is not easy, nor will it be smooth sailing.

Sometimes, before entering the city, they would encounter resistance from the servants and thugs of the wealthy families, and they would have to fight a tough battle before they could enter the city to search their homes.

Fortunately, they had the help of militiamen from various villages. After all, they were regular troops and had eaten greasy meals for a month or two. Their discipline and combat awareness were far superior to those thugs and servants.

In a head-on battle with this mob, Chen Qingzhu's army won quite easily.

But sometimes, after finally breaking into the city, the families of the wealthy families had already fled with their property and account books.

It will be much more troublesome to measure the land afterwards.

What was even more tragic was that they were ambushed by regular troops from Zhongdu Fengyang on the road.

That’s right, many regular troops in Zhongdu Fengyang disguised themselves as merchants and sneaked into Chen Qingzhu’s territory, colluding with local landlords with the intention of ambush and annihilating her army.

When regular army fights against regular army, and the enemy's number far exceeds ours, Chen Qingzhu's army is bound to suffer losses.

Fortunately, she was prepared for this.

Before setting off, each thousand households held a positioning symbol she made that could help them locate their positions.
