(Today is the National Day, I wish all book friends a happy National Day, have a good time, now is the double monthly pass period, ask for a monthly pass!) Twenty Month Pass Plus Update! )

Li Zixiao obviously thought of this a long time ago, and his first plan was just the first fire, in order to ignite the hatred of those tenant young men against the Zhou family.

And the second fire he will point to is to dispel the worries of these people, so that they have the courage and motivation to do it to the Zhou family.

"I know that there are also people on this wall who don't want to be in the same league as the Zhou family, maybe you have listened to the rumors of the Zhou family, they must have said that I Li is evil and murderous!

But in fact, my White Dragon Army has never attacked the poor, Lao Tzu only robbed a big family like the Zhou family that is rich and unkind, you can rest assured, even if we attack Zhouzhuang, I Li promise that I will never hurt your wife and children.

Even when the time comes, I, Li, will redistribute the land that the Zhou family has taken by Hao, and I promise that I will only charge 30% of all the land rent, and I will never break my promise.

Maybe you don't believe me, but someone can prove that I'm telling the truth or not. Wei Hong, bring everyone over. ”

Li Zixiao's words immediately caused the whispers of those young people in Liucun on the wall of Zhoujiazhuang, and they all looked towards the outside of the village.

I saw that after Wei Hong received Li Zixiao's order, he quickly brought out a large number of people from behind the camp, not to mention dozens of them.

Some of these people are dressed in tatters, and they look like homeless people, and some of them have very shabby clothes, but they are much neater and do not look like homeless people.

These people seemed to be in good spirits, and the tattered homeless people still had vegetables on their faces, but the dozen or so people in neat old clothes were very energetic, and their faces were full of smiles.

These people are the flames that Li Zixiao prepared for the Zhou family to light the second fire, so some of them are indeed homeless, and the other part is a villager from Linjiabao.

"These people can prove whether what I said is true, and whether our White Dragon Army has persecuted you poor people."

Li Zixiao shouted loudly at the young men of Liucun who were probing their brains on the village wall.

The backless people and the villagers of Linjiabao also looked trembling at this time, looking at the confrontation between the White Dragon Army and the opposite Zhoujiazhuang wall, which made them tremble.

However, none of them escaped, because Li Zixiao had already told them what he wanted them to do beforehand, and promised them that if they completed it well, they could also give each person five taels of silver and a bag of grain.

Just for such a generous reward, they are willing to take the risk before going into battle, and they are not worried about the White Dragon Army's dishonesty, they are not the kind of villagers in Liucun, they are deliberately deceived by the Zhou family, and they don't know much about the White Dragon Army.

They knew that the White Dragon Army and their poor people had always bought and sold fairly and kept their promises, and even the craftsmen they invited back to the cottage from the surrounding villages paid silver or grain.

A middle-aged woman with a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, whose clothes were dirty, was the first to stand up boldly at this time, standing under the protection of two sword and shield soldiers, approaching Zhouzhuang.

"Hey, all the big brothers in the village, everyone is a poor person, why do you want to help these landlords and old fortunes fight the White Dragon Army, Li Da is not like the evil bandits you met before, they are righteous bandits.

It was Li Da's family who set up a porridge shed outside the mountain pass to give porridge, and it was the little woman's family that saved me and my only remaining son, the little woman's family is from Huaiqing Mansion, and last year the western thief army fled to us, frightening our family to flee.

My family of five begged all the way, and in order to fill our stomachs, we didn't know how many times we ate the bark, and when we passed by Guide House, my man fell ill, and my three children were also hungry.

It's a pity that the court didn't care about us, and didn't even let us enter the city, so we knelt outside the city and begged those big men to open a warehouse and release grain to save my children.

But they would just stand on the high wall and look at us with a playful smile, and would not give us a grain of food, and finally my man died of illness, and two of my three poor children died.

Just as I was about to take my last son to commit suicide by jumping into the river and not suffering this sin in the world, someone told us that there was a righteous bandit in the south.

I'm dead, I'm dead, but I really feel sorry for my poor child, he's only twelve years old, and I'm willing to suffer for my child, no matter how much suffering I have.

So we dragged our tired bodies here, I didn't expect that there was really a righteous bandit soup porridge, although it was only gruel, but it saved my child's life!

Although I am a woman, I also understand the truth that the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated, but it is a pity that Li Da's subordinates do not accept women, otherwise I will definitely join the White Dragon Army.

But it doesn't matter, I can't be a soldier for Li Dangjia, but my son can, and now my son is a disciple of Li Dangjia, learning skills from Li Dangjia, and not worrying about food and clothing, I never dreamed of this day. ”

Li Zixiao looked at such a middle-aged woman crying bitterly and crying while telling her sad experience, which easily resonated with the young people in Willow Village in the village wall.

Li Zixiao looked at this middle-aged woman with great satisfaction, these people were not randomly pulled out by him from the homeless people, he was carefully selected.

"Yes, those big brothers in the village, don't help the abuse anymore, Master Li will not hurt your ......"

"Hey, the old and young masters of Zhuangshang Liu Village, do you still know me, it's me, Mudunzi!" At this time, a strong young man of seventeen or eighteen years old burst out from behind a group of sword and shield soldiers, shouting at the wall.

"Hey, that's not a small wooden dun, it's all grown so big, he seems to have been married to Lao Deng Village for several years with Widow Zhang." Someone in the village knew this young man.

This young man used to be a child of Liucun, but unfortunately his father died early, and later his mother remarried to Lao Deng Village near Linjiabao, and he followed his mother over.

"Hey, Mu Dunzi, don't you know me, I'm a big baby!"

"And me, dead wooden pier, I still remember when we were children when we went to dig a bird's nest, you fell from a tree and smashed on me, almost killing me."

"Haha, remember, I remember. Big baby, two bald people, little birds, you are good now, but you don't have a daughter-in-law.

My mother has already told me a family affair, and I will get married in a few months, and you will have to drink the wedding wine at that time.

My uncle is still strong, I really want to go back to see you.

Why are you still helping Zhou to peel the skin, they are still less harmful to our village, my mother told me that my father was tired of working for the Zhou family.

Since I was a child, I have watched my mother get up early every day to work in the field and come back late at night, but all the food planted was finally taken away by Zhou Papi, and my mother and I had to starve every winter.

If it weren't for my uncles and uncles to help me and my mother, I'm afraid I would have starved to death long ago. ”

As he spoke, the young man named Mu Dunzi was already crying, but he didn't forget to continue to say loudly: "Uncles and uncles, old and young masters of Liucun, let's not work hard for Zhou, it's not worth it!"

Also, Li Dangjia is really benevolent and righteous, and it is really good for us poor people, you all know that I and my mother are now living in Lao Deng Village.

Originally, our entire Lao Deng Village was tenants of the Lin family, and the rent they charged was less than that of Zhou Papi, but there were also fifty or sixty percent.

But last winter, Li Da led people to lay down the Lin family fort, killed the old bastard, not only gave each family a bag of grain, but also promised to distribute the land produced by the Lin family to us in the spring today.

According to the number of people, each family can divide ten acres of land, but now our family has divided a full fifty acres of land, and Li Da's family promised to only charge us thirty percent of the land rent, and the rest can be bought with silver.

They may not know, who outside now doesn't know that the White Dragon Army of Li Da's family is the most benevolent and righteous, they never bullied our poor people, and you are still deceived by Zhou Papi.

I am also the master of our willow, you say that I can lie to you, what I say is the truth!

When my family grows grain in the 50 acres of land in the spring of this year, after the autumn harvest, I, my father, my mother, and my newly added brothers and sisters will no longer have to starve.

What are you still helping Zhou to do now, Li Da has something to say, after the capture of Zhouzhuang, they will also distribute land to you like us, and only collect 30% of the land rent every year!

In the future, we will no longer have to worry about being beaten to death if we can't pay the land rent every year, and we don't have to worry about our wives and children starving all day long.

Now you are still willing to continue to help the abuse, and help Zhou Papi fight against Li Da's master! ”

The words of this young man named Mu Dunzi quickly caused a huge sensation in Liu Cun Qingzhuang on the Zhuang Wall, and the news brought by Mu Dunzi exploded among these people like a thunderbolt.

You know, what the farmers care about most in these years is, of course, the land, which is their lifeblood in their eyes!

At this time, when these people heard that Li Zixiao would distribute land to the peasants there in Mudunzi after breaking through Linjiabao, and they only charged three percent of the land rent, their eyes were red.

This time, it wasn't because of hatred, but because they were too excited, and they really didn't doubt what Mu Dunzi said, after all, Mu Dunzi was also a child of their Liu Village.

And what this wooden dun said is indeed right, at this time, Li Zixiao did send Qian Guangyuan to deal with the land distribution issue between the cottage and Linjiabao.

Otherwise, how could Qian Guangyuan be absent from such a major event as attacking Zhouzhuang, he was too busy now.

Originally, after Li Zixiao broke through Lin Jiabao last winter and swept away all the money and grain in Lin Jiabao, he planned to distribute the Lin family's original land to the surrounding farmers.

But it was winter at that time, and it was not the most cost-effective time to divide the land, after all, it was not such a simple job, he needed to measure the land, distribute it according to the population, the village, and so on.

In addition, at that time, Li Zixiao was not quite sure about his future development direction and policies, so he just publicized it to the villagers there, and then the matter was shelved.

However, after the beginning of spring, especially after Li Zixiao defeated the officers and soldiers of the Suiyang Guard Station who came to encircle and suppress them last time, he formulated a strategic policy to take root in Yongcheng County and open up his own base area in the future.

Li Zixiao set the policy of land distribution as the first policy for them to win the hearts of the people in the future, and it was also the first policy for accumulating strength, and sent Qian Guangyuan to take full charge of this matter.

Li Zixiao is well aware of the impact this policy will have on Chinese society.

Think about the later generations of Chinese Mao Zu was not able to complete the great cause of reunification by virtue of the 'land revolution/life' and won the support of all the peasants in China!

It's just that Li Zixiao is also ready to embark on this road, although in this way, he may become the object of resistance and resistance of all the landlords and gentry in China in the future.

But it doesn't matter, Li Zixiao doesn't care, as long as he has more soldiers and more guns, and he is afraid of those landlords and squires, they will resist, and they all happen to be cleaned up together, and he is short of money.

He still hopes to continue to suck blood from these landlords, feed his men, and gain the hearts and minds of the people through his land policy.

At this time, there was no shortage of peasants in China at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he trained a strong army under his command, and he could complete the dream in his heart.

Of course, all of this is a huge plan made in Li Zixiao's heart, and at this time he started the first step of his huge plan.

At this time, Zhou Dahu on the village wall couldn't sit still anymore after hearing the words of the wooden pier below.

Originally, he had long wanted to stop the farce of the people below, but he was worried about arousing the resistance of the young people in Liucun on the village wall, so he simply ignored it.

Taking advantage of this time, he secretly sent someone to inform his father that he would quietly control the families of these young people in Liucun in Zhouzhuang in the back.

At that time, they will not be afraid that these mud-legged people will turn against the water, and in Zhou Dahu's opinion, as long as Li Zixiao's White Dragon Army does not take the initiative to attack, they can still rely on the crying and mouths of a few old and weak women and children to capture their fort in Zhouzhuang.

Therefore, Zhou Dahu was also happy to see Li Zixiao doing these small actions outside the village.

But now, he was genuinely scared.

Especially when Mu Dunzi said that Li Zixiao would distribute land to those mud legs, and only collect three percent of the land rent, he obviously felt the red eyes and rapid breathing of those young people in Liucun not far away.

Zhou Dahu looked at the wooden pier who was shouting under the village wall, and his hands couldn't help but tremble when he was angry, and scolded loudly: "You dog, it's just nonsense."

Where are there any righteous bandits, they are simply a group of robbers and thieves, let you speak for these evil bandits, obviously also accept a gang, let Lao Tzu die.

Saying that, Zhou Dahu snatched a bow from a subordinate next to him, pulled out a big arrow, buckled it on the string, and struggled to open the bow, aiming at the wooden pier under the village wall, and released an arrow.

Originally, Li Zixiao let these homeless people and villagers stand in places that were outside the range of Zhou Zhuang's arrows, and ordinary hunting bows could not shoot them at all, and at the same time, he also let a team of sword and shield soldiers protect them.

But this Zhou Dahu can be regarded as a person with little ability, his arm strength exceeds that of ordinary people, and he uses a strong bow used in the army that he purchased privately.

He shot an arrow from a distance, only to see that the eagle arrow flew out like a meteor, and actually shot at the wooden pier outside the village.
