226 The Overrated Min Yong
However, the performance of Minyong in Xizhou made Long Letian reveal his old foundation in advance, and the avalanche of Minyong in Xizhou also pushed the Long family army to the front line, resulting in the consumption of the front line of the elite troops of the Long family army!
These veterans are the foundation of Long Letian. One group of dead is less than the other!
Although in addition to Min Yong and Long's army, there were also a group of ordinary officials and yamen runners and ordinary government soldiers in Xizhou, which were non-field troops similar to the original local garrison troops in the Tang Dynasty.
The quality of these soldiers is much better than the temporary recruitment of the people of Xizhou, but the number is not large. In the past, they were mainly responsible for the public security and daily garrison work of Xizhou. Even if Xizhou City is the capital of the entire Xizhou, there are only a few thousand people...
There are not as many elite troops as the Long Family Army headquarters.
The most important thing is that the fighting will of these officials and yamen runners and the soldiers is not much stronger than that of the people in Xizhou.
The slogan of Junta that Richard put out was still very powerful. The reason why the Min Yong of Xizhou was about to collapse was because they didn't know why they fought.
The Ming army sieges opposite came to equalize the fields for the people, why did they fight against each other?
Moreover, because Richard always implemented the Han nationalism, he always adhered to the social status of the Han people as superior to others, and Richard's own pure-bred Han bloodline, he was also his own family in the eyes of the people of Xizhou.
The battle between the Ming army and the Long family was a civil war in the eyes of the lower class, not an invasion of foreign enemies!
This is quite different for ordinary people.
It’s not that the people of this era have awakened nationalism, but because foreign invasions often mean large-scale massacre and enslavement of Han people, but the Han civil war is different. No matter which force wins, they are all tax lambs...
Therefore, except for the brutal foreign invasions - such as the fight between Greenskin and Beasts, the battles of ordinary people are very low.
Not to mention that Richard sent out Juntian, a killing weapon that ordinary people could not refuse, which made the people of the entire Xizhou lean towards Richard!
It is no exaggeration to say that the slogan of the Ming army's mutual fields that had already spread in Xizhou made the Long family, which was already under-founded, lose most of the people's hearts.
The remaining small part was provided by local squire. Richard Juntian's slogan was extremely beneficial to mud legs, but it became an enemy of class opposition to the landlords and squire.
Who would like their own land to be distributed to the lower class?
Whose family’s land is not blown by strong winds, so why do you have to turn from a landlord into an ordinary person by cutting it out with one size fits?
The timid and unwilling to participate in the war all moved away from Xizhou. Most of the landlords and gentry left the landlords and gentry who remained became guests of the Long family. It can be said that the bravery of tens of thousands of people in Xizhou City was closely related to the support of Xizhou landlords and gentry!
Unfortunately, Richard arrived too quickly. If the Long family was given one or two more years and systematic training for Min Yong, it might be a bit difficult to train elite soldiers, but it should be OK to train a regular soldier who can go to the battlefield and fight in an array.
