Both Zhang Mu and Wu Sidao were very clear about one thing.
The Qing army definitely did not dare to delay for too long.
Even if he wanted to drag it out, the Imperial Court would not let him.
At the very least, they had to launch a probing attack.
The task given to him by the imperial court was to exterminate the Ma bandits and capture the leader of the bandits, Zhang Mazi.
Even if Alan Tai took the opportunity to take a hundred million points, no one in the imperial court would say anything. However, the problem now was that the emperor's son was dead, and he was still f * cking amassing money. He was in no hurry to exterminate the bandits. He was simply tired of living.
Therefore, no matter what, Alan Tai had to enter the mountain to eliminate the bandits.
Zhang Mu did not stay idle at all. He wrote down the experiences of those who came to seek refuge with him. They used to be small and medium-sized landlords, but now they were absolutely destitute.
It was specially publicized for the common people to hear.
This was the Qing army.
Not only did he have to eat empty salaries and drink the blood of soldiers, but he also took the opportunity to embezzle. Even if he was a small landlord, wouldn't he still occupy his family property?
Promotion was still very important.
Moreover, he had to tell them the truth in a simple and understandable way.
Emancipating the mind was easier said than done.
However, in reality, it was a process with a long way to go.
Zhang Mu seized the opportunity to start promoting.
In short, when some ideas began to take root in the hearts of the people, the world would undergo earth-shaking changes.
Zhang Mu directly threw the military mission to Liu Yongjiang.
Now that the central government had made the strategic mission, Zhang Mu was ready to train his generals and train his own military officers.
One was Liu Yongjiang, one was Su Chenglin (Su Dagang), and the other was Liu Moshan (Liu Dalong), as well as the military officers selected from the lower-ranking officers.
Zhang Mu believed in one principle.
Talents were nurtured.
It was not that there were no talented people, but there were very few of them. Therefore, the cultivation of talents was also put on the agenda by Zhang Mu.
"During this period of time, I got some grain seeds from Hu Jian. I'm also preparing to promote them on a large scale after spring next year!”
After the military meeting ended, Zhang Mu took out sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn and placed them in front of Wu Sidao, Jiang City, and Chen Luo."These things are called sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes. The yield per mu is extremely high. My plan is to promote them on a large scale in Longgang area next spring. This way, we can increase our food production!”
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn would only be promoted on a large scale during the Qianlong period.
This was also the foundation of a country with a large population.
Without enough food, it was impossible to feed so many people.
Good things still needed to be promoted.
Most importantly, he needed to slowly establish a scientific view of development.
Sweet potatoes were only the first step.
There were also fertilizers, hybrid rice, and so on.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mu felt that he had a long way to go.
"However, don't force it. At present, we don't have many seeds in our hands. We can slowly promote them. Also, we have to let the people see the harvest. As long as they see it, I believe they will be very happy to plant these crops!”
Zhang Mu smiled and continued," In addition, we should encourage the cultivation of the land. We should record how to cultivate the land and how to increase the yield. I mean, we should compile books, make statistics, and sum up our experience. We should not only know that this can increase the yield of the crops, but also know why it can increase the yield of the crops. We must know the reason and the reason!!”
Wu Sidao felt that he was very knowledgeable, but he could not see through Zhang Mu.
This person's way of thinking was very strange.
However, Zhang Mu's authority was right here. Whatever he said was true. Perhaps they didn't understand it at first, but it would take time for them to slowly understand these principles.
……
……
The Qing soldiers began to move.
Just as Zhang Mu and Wu Sidao had predicted, even though they were extorting small and medium-sized landowners, farmers with land could make a lot of money.
Although they had the courage to collect money by paying fees, they were very bold.
However, they still had to do what they had to do.
Otherwise, Kang Mazi would have to deal with him first.
He still had to exterminate the bandits, and he had to produce results quickly.
The Crown Prince in the capital could not wait any longer. Huang Silang in Yongxin County could not wait either. They were also eager for the imperial court to quickly take down Zhang Mu. Alan Tai definitely could not take this land. He would have to divide it up with the big landowners.
In short, for all sorts of reasons.
Alan Tai still moved.
However, at this time, the civilians of the five counties of Longgang had been cleared by Zhang Mu in advance. There was not a single grain left for the Qing army.
However, this was not a good sign for Zhang Mu.
Right now, the territory was not big, and the people could still clear the border. However, when his territory was big enough and the population was large enough, this route would definitely not work. He had to have the ability to fight the Qing army head-on.
Along the way, Alan Tai was getting deeper and deeper into Longgang.
What annoyed Alan Tai was that his opponents seemed to know that he was coming, but they didn't want to fight him head-on. Until now, they hadn't met the main force of the bandits.
This place was like a no man's land.
I don't believe it!"”
"Where can these bandits hide?" Alan Tai said coldly.!”
"Hehe, Sir, I think these must be bandits. After seeing our Qing Dynasty's incomparable bravery, how would they dare to fight?”The one who spoke was Fei Yanggu, Alan Tai's deputy general. During this period of time, he had made a lot of money with Alan Tai. Now, he was naturally loyal to Alan Tai.
"Sir, it's best to be careful!" Another deputy general, Zhao Fuzhou, said,""If we continue to go deeper into the mountains, if the bandits attack us now, we will suffer heavy losses!”
"What did you say?" Alan Tai said coldly," The Ma Bandits will definitely fall apart when the Great Qing Heavenly Army arrives. How can they compete with the Great Qing Heavenly Army?"”
Alan Tai didn't give Zhao Fuzhou a good look. Of course, he didn't give Zhao Fuzhou a single cent.
Zhao Fuzhou was a Han Chinese, not a member of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. He had no right to share the money.
Alan Tai was from the Green Camp in Jinling, and Zhao Fuzhou was from the Green Camp in Yangzhou. Naturally, there were conflicts between the two sides.
Zhao Fuzhou looked at Alan Tai, and his heart was burning with anger. If he could, he really wanted to cut Alan Tai into pieces.
Fei Yanggu whispered into Arantai's ear, and Arantai laughed."Zhao Fuzhou, what you said makes sense. Since that's the case, you can take your Yangzhou Green Camp to the front. I'll hold the rear for you!”
