Can you live forever

Chapter 241

How about Mordenyong, no one cares anymore.

This is not a question of winners and losers, but a question of the general trend of the times. Qiu Luan can't stay in Annan for too long. They attacked Annan originally to support Nanyang.

The army continued south.

Zhu Wan continued to raid the entire territory of Annan after breaking through Tsinghua Mansion. Qiu Luan ordered people to search for ships in Xin'an Mansion and prepared to go down the Mekong River in order to control Chenla. preparation.

Jiajing only said that he would support Nanyang, but Qiu Luan had already started to make preparations to block Nanyang.

This is not whimsical.

Although the logistics of the expedition are very stressful, it is still necessary to fight like this.The Xu family is not a local chicken like Annan. The key to this battle lies in the military capabilities of both sides.

They have percussion guns, the same level of artillery.

The Xu family's firearms are backward, but they have the command of the sea. From a strategic point of view, the Xu family has taken the initiative. If they don't want to be led by the nose by the Xu family, they must attack the enemy and save them.

If you add a letter full of thorns, more than [-]% of the entire East-West trade will be cut off.

However, if the Xu family wanted to open up the route and eliminate the Ming army, they had to go ashore to fight. At that time, it was time to compete.

Thang Long City.

The main force of the Ming army is still here, Qiu Luan found Li Weining, explained to him the importance of logistics supplies, and asked Li Weining again if he could stabilize Annan and ensure logistics supplies.

Li Weining didn't answer directly, but took Qiu Luan to a nearby village.

At this time, a complaint meeting is being held.

This village is called Hujia Village, not because the villagers are all surnamed Hu, but because this village belongs to Mr. Hu. The annexation of land in Ming Dynasty is like that, let alone Annan, it will only be more serious.

It can even be said that Annan has not fully entered the gentry society, and there are still aristocratic families and five generations of warlords left in it.

The situation is more complicated, and the life of the people is getting more and more difficult.

In the Ming Dynasty, after several generations of accumulation, as long as they can afford full-time study, there is still the way of the imperial examination, and they can jump the dragon's gate. Although all the systems in the Later Li Dynasty imitated the Ming Dynasty, education was still in a state of monopoly, which was more similar to the Manchu Dynasty.

It belongs to the state where the literacy rate is less than 1%, and the imperial examinations are monopolized by landlords.

This is actually the biggest difference between Ming and Qing imperial examinations.

In the Ming Dynasty, common people could still study and take the imperial examination, especially in the affluent areas in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Yan Song and Zhang Juzheng. Dad is a genius.

In the Qing Dynasty, these two could not afford the imperial examination at all.

Annan is like this. Hujia Village is where Mr. Hu's family lived on rent, studied, took the imperial examination and became an official. They treated the tenants in the village almost like feudal serfs.

It is conceivable how miserable their past days were.

Once the grievances of the past were poured out, it was so turbulent, and people were crying. At this time, Li Weining asked someone to bring Mr. Hu out. After the public trial, Mr. Hu was directly torn apart by the angry people.

At this time, Li Weining stood up again and told them that the door of the Hu family had been opened, and asked them to get back their belongings.

The ordinary people, who were docile and dare not resist in the slightest, rushed into the Hu family's compound frantically.

Look at these.

Qiu Luan frowned and said, "Even if we want to distribute things and exchange them for money, wouldn't it be good to distribute them evenly to the people? This kind of miscellaneous robbing and burning, not to mention the loss, is the distribution not even?"

Li Weining said with a smile: "What I want is not to be average, but to let them vent."

"They are too bitter."

"To marry a wife, you have to send it to Hu's family first, let Master Hu bridal chamber, and the daughter in the family must be sent to Hu's family as a maid when she grows up. If she is beaten to death, not only will she not be compensated, but Master Hu will also ask them for debts."

"To seek medical advice, one has to kneel at Hu's house for a day and a night, begging the master for mercy."

"How many people are so poor that they can't even afford clothes?"

"The hatred in their hearts cannot be filled with money. They have to vent it. After venting, they can come back to their senses and know that today is different from the past, and they are human."

"Give them food, give them land, and give them tax exemption."

"When they have everything and their own home, they will desperately protect their achievements, and they will absolutely support the rule of Ming Dynasty."

Qiu Luan nodded, and said: "This can indeed stabilize the place, but those landlord forces are not made of mud."

"There is no way for our army to stay in Annan for a long time to help you wipe out local forces. What you have done will soon lead to strong backlash."

"The Xu family and Nanjing will not sit idly by."

"They will continue to resist the equalization of land and taxation, and even counterattack you, trying to block logistics and make us lose in the war."

"What I need is a countermeasure that can guarantee logistics."

"It's not about how you share the land."

Li Weining smiled and said: "The countermeasure is here, General."

"Thousands of people in Annan are protecting their homes. It is written in the guidance book of the national teacher that this is the subjective initiative of people. Don't worry, those landlords and hostile forces can't make things happen."

"We're going to have hundreds of thousands of ... militias very soon."

"In two months at most, Annan will be completely stable. As for the supply line, even if you use a cart, the people of Annan will send you to Mancijia."

Qiu Luan nodded slowly, he always felt something was wrong.

After chatting with Li Weining for a while, he prepared to go back to the city to deploy the military, got up on his horse, and when he passed the village entrance, he heard the group of soldiers who helped Li Weining control the village gather and chat.

Someone said: "The landlord is really killed and the land is divided. I heard that the tax will be exempted for three years."

Another person said: "Didn't our Daming be exempted from land tax forever? It's better than this, isn't it?"

The man said: "What's the use of exempting the land tax? How many acres of land can my family have? Isn't the squire in the village the final say? They will not have a master from now on."

"The imperial court can divide the land from the local tyrants in Annan, when will the Ming Dynasty be able to do the same?"

"Master Huang in our hometown is also a master of bone-sucking marrow."

A soldier said: "I'm afraid it can't be done? We are a large army entering Annan, and we are the ones who have the final say, so we can do this. The Ming court has the final say."

A soldier who hadn't spoken could bear it no longer. He said, "Fuck!"

"Yeah, fuck it!"

"His grandma, why don't we just kill him when we go back?"

"Hey, be careful, that's a rebellion and wants to punish the Nine Clans."

"Fucking Zhu Jiu Clan, I heard that Mr. Shu said that it is written in the law of the Ming Dynasty that we ordinary people rebel and don't implicate our family members."

"That's what you say, but the official will not do this."

"Hey, as I said, after we finish this battle and receive the reward, the whole family will move to Annan. After all, we are the benefactors of the people of Annan, so they won't refuse to welcome us, right?"

"Yo, that's a good idea."

"It's hard to leave the homeland, alas..."
