Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 529 All parties prepare for war

After the autumn harvest, it is a gluttonous feast for the landlords, gentry, powerful and bureaucrats, and it is also the beginning of the people's suffering.

In a village in Jiangzhou, tax collectors and landlords were chatting happily. They didn't know what to say, except that they were very happy.

Not long after, a gong-beating gang came with the people. The people were carrying grains one by one. Although they were reluctant to give up, they were still confident.

After all, after paying the grain tax, I will pay some other taxes and give the landlord [-]% of the rent. Let's do the math. I can still keep some to eat with leaves and wild vegetables. Tuanba Tuanba will not starve to death.

Soon, the first villager began to pay grain.

The tax collector opened the tax book and said, "Tu Yuan Gou, my family has three acres of fertile land, and I need to pay five measures of grain!"

Well, the taxes in Daqian are really low, but the official system is broken and the poor land is considered to be good land, so more taxes have to be paid.

The five buckets of grain were really not much, so the villager poured the grain into the bucket with confidence.

Then I discovered that the bucket was not full?

Seeing this, the tax collector couldn't help but frown, "Tu Yuan Gou, the grain you paid is not enough. This is only three dou and five liters. There is still one dou and one liter short of it. Hurry up and make up!"

When Tu Yuan Gou saw this, he sat down on the ground and shouted repeatedly.

"Impossible, impossible. I weighed it at home. This is enough for five measures of food."

Seeing this, the tax collector's expression changed. He went up and kicked Tu Yuan's dog, knocking him to the ground. Then he pressed his neck, pointed to the words on the grain bucket, and said viciously:

"Do you know what this word is? This is an official. You must know that official laws are like furnaces. What, do you mean that the official title is inaccurate?"

"Do you know that this food is to be handed over to the capital? Are you saying that the big bosses are at fault?"

What a tiger-skin coat, not to mention Tu Yuan Dog, even the villagers who wanted to help couldn't help but become angry when they saw this, and were too scared to speak.

If you say that the government's reputation is inaccurate, isn't this an act of rebellion?

It's not that they can't survive, they don't have the guts.

Similarly, Tu Yuan Gou was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split apart, and he cried repeatedly.

"Sir, it's my fault. I'll go home right away and bring the grain to make up for the tax."

Soon, these villagers discovered that the grain tax paid by everyone was not enough, so they had to go home to collect grain and make up for it.

But forget it, the grain you pay still needs to come out of the bucket, and then the tax collector will go up and kick the grain in the bucket flat.

These, these scattered grains are the grains of tax collectors and helpers.

No matter how distressed your people are, what can you do? ?

After collecting the grain, the tax collector settled the account with the landlords and gentry, and then asked the county magistrate for instructions.

"Sir, where will the extra grain harvested today be sold at which grain store?"

With such a commotion, various forces and various places quickly completed the collection of autumn taxes.

Of course, their exploitation of the people was not over. After all, taking food from the people had to be done step by step and slowly.

Then, when there is enough food, it is time for a big war.

The new Jiangnan camp established by Da Qian in Jiangnan has 20 soldiers and horses. Fortunately, these 20 troops have been stationed separately. Otherwise, just being in one place can starve the whole place, so it needs to be huge and Continuous logistics.

Simply, now that the autumn harvest is over, the army has begun to mobilize again. According to the established goals, the counties and counties along the way need to prepare the food and grass needed by the army.

It can be said that the march and mobilization of this army abandoned logistics to a certain extent, or that logistics was delegated to local counties.

In this way, the army has reduced a lot of burdens, can march quickly and fight, and exert its due strength.

Obviously, this is the advantage of local operations, and it is also the reason why the leaders of this army have sufficient capabilities.

This kind of ability does not say how high it is, but it is at least much stronger than many county soldiers in Leizhou.

Just like Leizhou, a large number of strong men must be recruited to fight a war for hundreds of miles, which not only slows down the marching speed, but also makes the army vulnerable.

Of course, that is a kind of business, but Jiangnan Daying cannot do it. After all, there are people watching above?

Therefore, business can only be done in the counties along the way. Although it is a bit more troublesome and the profits are thinner, it is better than safety.

This fighting atmosphere immediately caused Bai Lian and the Han army to become nervous. The movement was too great. Before Daqian's army moved, they began to hoard food, grass and weapons. This meant that Daqian was going to launch a large-scale battle this year.

It stands to reason that with such a serious disaster, everyone should rest and recuperate, but this big group has bucked the trend, which is really depressing.

For a time, the White Lotus Sect also began to hoard supplies to the front line, and the army was mobilized frequently.

In the temple, King Li Tian looked at Yang Shida and Jiang Fenghua and ordered:

"Fenghua, for this expedition, you will incorporate your [-] Dharma Protector troops into Shi Da's team. You must obey Shi Da's orders and study hard, do you understand?"

Jiang Fenghua clasped his fists: "Yes, Master!"

Then King Li Tian said to Yang Shida: "The number of the Dharma Protectors participating this time is as high as 11. This is almost all the available troops we can use. We must not lose this battle!"

Yes, although these 11 Dharma Protectors cannot be said to be the entire strength of the White Lotus Sect, they are the forces they can use to actively attack or defend. If the entire army is annihilated or defeated, then the White Lotus Sect will inevitably be on the defensive, and then Keep getting weaker.

So, this fight is really important.

Yang Shida clasped his fists: "Don't worry, King of Heaven, I have already prepared to defend and wait for the attack this time to tire out my troops."

"Besides, new recruits in the army also need to try their skills. If possible, our holy religion will definitely be able to capture the entire Jiangnan within three to five years!"

King Li Tian stared at Yang Shida, and then laughed.

"Okay, I'll take your auspicious words. If my holy religion can take over Jiangnan, I will make you the king of heaven. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Shida immediately knelt down and worshiped: "Thank you, King of Heaven!"

Similarly, in the Han army's Changsha City, Liu Wu, Lu Shu and others studied and immediately issued orders.

"Order the [-]rd and [-]th Infantry Brigades to station in Lei County and Fengchang County. We must ensure that we control and stabilize the situation as soon as possible, build defense lines, and prevent food from flowing out!"
