Fan Buji from Chongqing was also stationed in the Shizhu area. This was a place with good resources nearby. The reserves of lime, quartzite, lead and silver, coal, and natural gas were 20 billion tons, 137 million tons, 1.076 million tons, 161 million tons, and 15.5 billion cubic meters respectively.
If Lu Yao wanted to build the road, he had to take this place. The lime resources here were too rich. In addition, Lu Yao had officially taken down Chongqing before the end of the year. Even Tan Xiu and Liu Zian had given it to him. Therefore, Fan Buji came here and happened to be stuck at the junction between Liu Zian and Tan Xiu.
In the nearby Sichuan region, Le Jin had completed his reception work and set foot on the Tibetan Ganzi Aba region. This was his stage. Since the order had been given, he had to complete it. He was the only force in Sichuan other than Xu Zhan. Even the garrison of Qishan had been drawn out to the urban areas around Chengdu, so he had to complete his mission in this plateau.
After pacifying the local area, the railway could be built. After the railway was built, factories could be built, and the local area could prosper. They could also look out at Tibet, Qinghai, and Gansu provinces. It could be considered a strategic location, so he came.
Xue Wujia was in a much more difficult situation. He had to be in charge of the Yunnan-Guizhou region and also the Shaanxi and Gansu regions, so the progress was the slowest. However, he also had one person under him, Wang Meng, a brave and intelligent general. The two of them divided the work. Xue Wujia was in charge of Yunnan-Guizhou, and Wang Meng was in charge of the Shaanxi and Gansu regions.
The Shaanxi-Gansu region had a population of nearly 20 million. Lu Yao only wanted to guard the passage into Sichuan, and it was also for the strategic layout, so Wang Meng's mission was much simpler.
Xue Wujia's mission was really important. The main reason for expanding to Yungui region was for Guangxi. When the war broke out in the future, they could quickly open up Guangxi and threaten the Indo-China Peninsula. It was also an important strategic decision.
When everyone began to exert their strength, it became like this. Red flags swept across the southwest, and revolutions were everywhere!
Of course, it was not the time for them to make their move yet. They were only active in the countryside. Even so, the various capitals received distress signals like snowflakes. They were too vulnerable.
The Governors of Yunnan and Guizhou, Shaanxi and Gansu, and Sichuan all received distress signals. I have to mention the Governors of the Qing Dynasty. There were nine Governors in the Qing Dynasty: Zhidi Governor, Liangjiang Governor, Sichuan Governor, Fujian and Zhejiang Governor, Yunnan and Guizhou Governor, Huguang Governor, Guangdong and Guangxi Governor, Three Eastern Provinces Governor, and Shaanxi and Gansu Governor.
Zhili and the two rivers were the most important, Huguang and Guangdong were second, and Yungui and Shaanxi and Gansu were the worst.
Other than the Sichuan Governor Kui Jun who sent troops to suppress the Chongqing area, Yun Gui and the Shaanxi and Gansu Governors only treated these people as bandits and obviously did not attract much attention.
Even Kui Jun didn't send many people, because there were only two Green Banners in the entire Sichuan area. The Eight Banners Army in Chengdu could not be counted on.
The Green Camp in the second lot only had about 15000 people, and there were more than 3000 people from Lu Yao, so the troops he could command were not many. In addition to the commander's suppression and his own empty sound, the entire Green Camp in the second lot only had about 8000 people, not more than 12000 people, so he only had about 4000 people.
This time, he had mobilized the 2nd Battalion to Chongqing. After all, this was half of his military strength, so the commotion was still very big. Naturally, he would send troops to calm down the unstable factors in the area. He would naturally need silver taels. Are you colluding with the bandits?
At this time, they still didn't know that the Junshe Party was a revolutionary party. They only thought that there were bandits. In addition, Lu Yao had vigorously opened factories and built roads. The Sichuan area gradually became prosperous. Everyone was rich. Why didn't Kuijun cut the sheep?
Initially, they did not have an excuse, but now they really did. Even Lu Yao himself donated 50,000 taels of silver to fund the Green Camp to fight against his own troops. The other merchants did not dare to do so!
After all, Kuijun had even brought up the dung tax. The magistrate of Chengdu, Ah Lin, suggested, When farmers enter the city to carry manure, they will collect manure tax, a few wen per load, and hundreds of wen per month. Therefore, he used this method to accumulate wealth. It could be seen how greedy and shameless he was.
After this round of plundering, they earned 280,000 taels of silver. Therefore, the Green Camp army marched toward the Chongqing area in a mighty manner. They did not know that their actions were all watched by their so-called " bandits."
Fan Buji had been in Shizhu County for more than a month. He had instilled the idea of splitting the land among the local tycoons. The entire Shizhu County was under his control. It should be known that Lu Yao had been in this space-time for more than half a year. He had already sent spies to the surrounding areas to draw maps and spy on the military, economy, and people's livelihood. He had a deep understanding of Ba Shu.
Speaking of which, the land annexation situation in Ba Shu was also serious. There were a total of 60 million people, but the people were farming for the landlord to make a living. Every year, 60% of the rent and the tax from the county government were still insufficient for a year. As far as one could see, they were all malnourished people.
Fan Buji had obtained the distribution map of the landowners and citizens of Shizhu County long ago. He had a deeper understanding of the entire Shizhu County than the county government. They only cared about collecting money and did not care about the lives of the civilians.
Therefore, when Fan Buji arrived with a regiment, he immediately gave the order to start settling the accounts of all the major families in Shizhu County, officially opening the curtains for the land reform.
Fan Buji's determination to reform the land was because he had the technology and equipment, the soldiers and guns, and his current definition in the court was that of a bandit and a rebel. Anyway, his reputation was not good. As long as the people agreed, he did not care about this or that.
October 28th, at the Li family's mansion in the east of Shizhu County. Old Master Li's ancestor was a scholar. From then on, he began to work in the county government. Through the accumulation of several generations, he occupied one-third of the land in Shizhu County. Only the Liu family could compete with them. There were also some other small landowners, but they could be ignored.
Old Mr. Li looked at the people in the courtyard and angrily knocked his walking stick." If he wants our land, we'll give it to him. What are you thinking? Our ancestral business! Are you going to destroy it in my hands? What? How can I face my ancestors in the future?”
