Gao Jun's speech was indeed very extreme. After suffering a blow, the Shangcun suffered a great loss. Although the other villages did not suffer any losses, they were also frightened. Many people felt very scared at this time. Therefore, they also felt some complaints about the time travelers, believing that it was the disaster that the time travelers suffered. There were even a few villagers, who were villagers whose family members died. They blamed all this on land reform and felt that they should not divide the landlords' land. Of course, this is also because the landlords in Menbu Village had relatively light exploitation of farmers and the land conflict was not sharp.

However, Gao Jun cleverly transferred all the hatred to the landlord alliance. In fact, most villagers were very satisfied after being assigned to the land; after all, the villagers who died were a minority, and the villagers who obtained the land naturally did not want to give up the land, and naturally developed hatred for the landlord alliance that opposed the landlords' alliance against the land reform. After all, this battle was won. Therefore, the villagers still have confidence in the time travelers, and the time travelers have nothing to blame for the treatment of the victims, which also moved many villagers and their dissatisfaction quickly calmed down.

After calming down the villagers' emotions, Gao Jun also breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Wang Sheng and Liu Qinglin also took the prisoners back to the village. In fact, Wang Sheng was not idle last night. He interrogated more than a dozen prisoners in succession before he could basically clarify the whole incident.

The things reported by Yuan Wanlin and the two brothers of Wanyuan were basically correct. The attack on Menbu Village last night was indeed related to a landlord alliance organized by Wan Yufu. There were 16 landlords participating in this alliance, from 13 different villages around, only 3 of which were from areas under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou County, 2 from Jimo County, and the remaining 11 were from villages belonging to Gaomi County.

It turned out that after the time traveler implemented land reform in Menbu Village, it immediately caused great tension among the surrounding landlords. This is of course easy to understand, because land is the most important means of production in this era and the main wealth basis of most landlords. Once the land is taken away, it means that the landlords have lost the main source of income, which is of course difficult for the landlords to accept. Wan Yufu was originally the main gentry of Gaomi County. He was not only a landlord, but also managed the land tax collection of the entire Gaomi County. Therefore, the land reform of the time travel group naturally completely cut off all Wan Yufu's wealth.

Wan Yufu was naturally unwilling to let go. After all, he had great connections on both sides of the official and private sectors. He could not fight against overseas Chinese by himself, so he led the landlords and squire in the entire Gaomi County to work hard. Therefore, after the time traveler deployed the [Outline of the Land Reform System], he immediately took the lead and organized a landlord alliance. Some people contributed their people, and they had the money to contribute to the time traveler. They fought against the land reform together, and opposed land reform, and they did receive the response from many landlords.

Of course, most landlords did not join the alliance organized by Wan Yufu on impulse. Although most people had no contact with time travelers, they still had some hearing about the brilliant achievements and great martial arts established by overseas Chinese. Therefore, no one can be sure of the chance of winning against overseas Chinese. After all, if you hand over the land, you can at least save the life of your family. At least you can be an ordinary farmer and at least survive. If you fight against overseas Chinese, you will lose your family and destroy your family.

However, Wan Yufu still has a layer of official cloak, and his brother-in-law Sun Zhongkui served in the Beiyang New Army in Jinan Prefecture, serving as a battalion commander, with more than 50 people under his command. And relying on this relationship, Wan Yufu also brought his youngest son Wan Shen into the Beiyang New Army, and now Sun Zhongkui's subordinates serve as a captain. Therefore, Wan Yufu also promised the landlords that he could obtain the support of Yuan Shikai and mobilize the Beiyang New Army to fight against overseas Chinese.

Of course, retired officials like Liu Zongze could see that Wan Yufu was pulling a big banner, but ordinary landlords could not see it, so their confidence in Wan Yufu was not much less. Moreover, in the [Outline of the Land Reform System], there is also content to crack down on bully landlords, and most landlords have some things to use their power and wealth to bully ordinary farmers, which is not uncommon to kill people. And when time travelers were promoting land reform around Menbu Village, they also suppressed several landlord bullies, local tyrants and evil gentry, which were more angry. This time it really became a big panic. Many landlords were estimating whether they were enough for landlord bullies and local tyrants.

Wan Yufu also seized this point and made great efforts to promote and lobby other landlords. Even if they hand over the land, they might not be able to save their lives. Therefore, it is better to fight for the death of overseas Chinese and might even be able to die. In addition, Wan Yufu also said that he could not only invite the new Beiyang army, but also come forward to contact bandits and bandits to fight overseas Chinese, as long as he pays money.

Many landlords thought that Wan Yufu's statement was reasonable, and Wan Yufu had contact with some bandits, bandits, and robbers, and it was no secret in Gaomi County. So they joined the alliance and organized village tyrants in their village and contributed money. Although many landlords did not join the alliance organized by Wan Yufu because of their concerns, they also donated a lot of money to the alliance. Wan Yufu did not force it, and refused to accept all the money first. In this way, they collected nearly 80,000 taels of silver in total.

At the same time, Wan Yufu was also actively engaged in activities. He first spent more than 30,000 taels of silver and contacted 6 bandit forces, dispatching more than 17oo people to deal with overseas Chinese. Originally, Wan Yufu planned to let these bandits take turns to harass Menbu Village. First, he tried the reaction of overseas Chinese, and second, he put some pressure on overseas Chinese. If he could cause serious harm to overseas Chinese, it would be great.

However, the escape of Wan Lin, Wan Yuan and others disrupted Wan Yufu's plan because it might attract the attention of overseas Chinese, which was to attract overseas Chinese to actively send troops to attack the landlord alliance. So Wan Yufu changed the plan and decided to launch a full-scale attack on Menbu Village. In addition to the bandit forces, the villages also organized more than 12 oo of the village soldiers, the servants of the landlords and the thugs formed more than 3 oo of the team. Sun Zhongkui also personally led more than 3 oo of the Beiyang New Army to assist in the war, including three artillery pieces. For this, more than 30,000 taels of silver were spent, making the total force of the attack on Menbu Village reach more than 35 oo.

Previously, Wan Yufu also learned about the situation in Menbu Village. He knew that there were only 5 and 60 people in the People's Army stationed, and the Land Reform Command was located in Shangcun. So Wan Yufu divided the bandits into two groups and attacked the left and right villages respectively to attract and restrain the troops of the People's Army. Moreover, Wan Yufu also promised that once the village was broken, he could plunder with the bandits, and all the things captured were obtained by the bandits. The Beiyang Army, the servants, and the villages gathered together to attack Shangcun, and used three artillery guns to bomb the defense line of Shangcun, and then used the Beiyang Army and the servants as the main force to attack the village. In order to inspire everyone to fight bravely, Wan Yufu might also give a heavy reward, killing an overseas Chinese and rewarding 30 taels of silver; killing the subordinates of overseas Chinese, rewarding 15 taels of silver; killing a villager in Menbu Village also rewarding 3 taels of silver.

It should be said that the Landlord Alliance has an absolute advantage in military strength and has considerable advantages in tactical arrangements. If the time traveler is really caught off guard, the chance of success is still high. However, because the time traveler learned about the landlord Alliance from Wanlin and Wanyuan brothers, he made preparations for war in advance. Moreover, the arrival of the fire support company also greatly increased the strength of the People's Army. In addition, there are two ace killing weapons, helicopters and warriors. As a result, the landlord Alliance's full attack kicked the steel plate with one kick, not only was he defeated, but other achievements were not only lacking, except for the three artillery guns that caused certain damage to Menbu Village.

After hearing the result of Wang Sheng's interrogation, Liu Qinglin and Gao Jun were also very surprised. They did not expect that the background of the establishment of the landlord alliance was really complicated. Gao Jun said: "Wan Yufu is really capable. He can organize at least a dozen landlords and raise an army of more than 3,000 people to attack us. This is not something that ordinary landlords can do."

Liu Qinglin also nodded and said, "And judging from the combat plan formulated by the landlord alliance this time, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. At least they must have a certain amount of military knowledge. If this is Wan Yufu's real ability, then this person is indeed worthy of our attention. However, from what we understand, there seems to be nothing special about Wan Yufu."

Gao Jun nodded and said, "We know too little about Wan Yufu's situation, and maybe there are things we don't know. It seems that we need to strengthen the collection of more information on this aspect."

Wang Shengdao: "I really don't have to pay much attention to Wan Yufu. No matter how strong his ability is, he is just an ordinary landlord. He has limited resources to master. He just needs to take advantage of both white and black. He relies on spending money to manage the situation. But this is not special, so it is unlikely that it will pose any threat to us. I really think that the Beiyang New Army will also participate in this attack, which should attract our attention. If it is not handled well, it may lead to a conflict between us and Yuan Shikai."

Gao Jun said: "This time the Beiyang New Army's participation in the war should be the personal behavior of some officers in the Beiyang New Army. It is probably a bit too serious when the conflict between us and Yuan Shikai."

Wang Shengrong shook his head and said, "I don't think so. What is the positioning of Yuan Shikai in the history of the old time and space? We don't comment on it, but he is definitely the most capable person at this time. The Beiyang New Army was the capital of Yuan Shikai's founding. Therefore, when Yuan Shikai first established the Beiyang New Army, he had very strict requirements on military discipline and absolutely required orders to enforce orders. A battalion-level officer could pull out hundreds of Beiyang New Army soldiers and three artillery to assist in the war of a militia armed force composed of more than a dozen landlords. Do you believe this is just a personal act?"

Liu Qinglin said: "Do you think there is a conspiracy?"
