Moreover, it seems that the people in the imperial army are not well fed, because they are sallow and thin. On the contrary, Linlang's patrol team, and even the reserve personnel, are well fed, and they are tall and powerful. Even if they don't need to be harassed, Directly speaking, the other party would probably not be able to defeat Linlang.
Linlang's people were right. The imperial army was indeed not well fed, because the imperial court not only deducted military pay but also deducted grain and grass, so that everyone could not have enough to eat.
Not only was there no food, the weapons, armor, and clothes on hand were all inferior or worn out. Why was this? Because military supplies and oil are abundant, this kind of position is held by people from aristocratic families. The treasury has no money to begin with. The little money allocated to the army is still being used by aristocratic families to gain profits and water, causing the army to become Like this: Ordinary soldiers don't have enough to eat, don't wear warm clothes, and their weapons are still inferior swords that will break with just a slight knock. This is simply... funny. It's strange that such an army can have combat effectiveness. It’s no wonder that many times, the rebels are defeated at the first touch. The people are really hungry and the equipment is not good enough. How can they fight?
That's right, with 100% profit, capitalists can do anything, so it's not surprising that those wealthy families even dare to embezzle things from the army.
They knew that if they were greedy for this kind of thing, the imperial army would be in trouble, and the imperial court would be destroyed in the future, and they would not have any good fruits to eat. However, looking at the benefits in front of them, they could not help but want to be greedy.
Of course, the main reason is that there are always some people who feel that even if the imperial court falls, their property will not be in trouble and they will still be able to live a good life in the new dynasty, so why not be greedy.
They knew that they might be unlucky, but their greed made them more willing to believe in the slim chance that nothing would happen. In the end, the streets of Tianjie trampled all the ministers, and on the day the imperial city was destroyed, all their property was robbed, and many people were killed. killed.
It was obvious that if they didn't do this, because the army was powerful, this kind of thing wouldn't happen, but they did it anyway.
So now, it is normal for Linlang to discover that the imperial army is vulnerable. It is estimated that in the original world, the imperial army is also vulnerable, which will eventually lead to more and more rebels. After all, if the imperial army The army is powerful. Wherever there is an uprising, it can be suppressed immediately, and insurgent armies will not spread everywhere later.
So they harassed them all the way. After the group of people had been frightened enough, they saw Linlang's large group of people near the border of Dongshan Mansion. Each of them had strong soldiers and horses. As soon as they made contact, Linlang and his cavalry launched a charge. After a round of rapid fire, the enemy team fell apart at the first touch. Even if the supervising team used knives from behind to force the soldiers to fight, those soldiers could not be seen. The supervising team no longer dared to supervise the battle and ran away on their own. After all, they would not Run, they will be the ones hurt by Linlang's arrows.
It's normal for these sallow-looking soldiers to run away. The treatment given by the court was so poor. Many of them were captured by the court and forced to come to the battlefield. Naturally, they would run away if they had the chance.
After all, the imperial court treated them like this and asked them to work for the imperial court. What good things could they think of?
What's more, when they came to Nanshan Mansion, they didn't go to war right away. They also stayed in the Nanshan Mansion camp for a while. They heard about the Queen's affairs. They heard that everyone there was divided into land. Farmers do not need to pay taxes, only those with more fields need to pay taxes. During the slack period, they can also build bridges and pave roads for the queen, and they are all paid. It is a wonderful life, so they were moved when they heard it. It was just in time and I couldn't beat them, so I ran away quickly, planning to escape to Dongshan Mansion and live under the female queen. Why fight for the court? They were almost starving to death, and they were forced to die. They were stupid. ah.
I heard that many people in Nanshan Mansion have gone to work under the Queen. Although the prefect is a nice person, he can't retain people despite all his efforts. After all, he can't give tax exemptions to the people. So over there, the Queen It’s tax-free and it’s so attractive, who wouldn’t want to leave?
In the end, there was no other way. The magistrate of Nanshan Prefecture chose some refugees who had just arrived here and didn't know the Queen's situation to settle down, so that Nanshan Prefecture was not turned into an empty mansion.
However, these refugees could not be kept. After hearing about the situation at the Queen's side, the idea of being grateful that there was still a good official here disappeared immediately, and I wanted to leave.
After all, no matter how good an official is, he still has to collect taxes, and there are still a lot of taxes - there is no way, the court imposes a lot of miscellaneous taxes, even if the prefect of Nanshan Prefecture is not that kind of corrupt official, the people can't bear so many taxes, and finally leave.
This naturally made the magistrate of Nanshan Prefecture very angry, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he claimed to be a good official, but he could not control the people and prevent them from leaving.
If he dares to do this, he will probably become a bad official in the hearts of the people, and he might even give a message to the people in Dongshan Prefecture to cooperate inside and outside and sacrifice Nanshan Prefecture.
This is not a lie, but there is really such a movement, and I want to dedicate Nanshan Mansion so that Zhao Linlang can get more benefits.
This is not the idea of ordinary people, but the idea of some gentry. They want to maintain a high status with Linlang. They feel that it is not worthwhile to go and settle down like other people without having a status, so some people want to invest. I wanted to get an official position from Linlang, so I wanted to offer Nanshan Mansion.
They don't know that he already knows, and they are thinking about it every day. The magistrate of Nanshan Prefecture wants to vomit blood, thinking that Zhao Linlang does not give tax exemptions to ordinary people. If you pay a small fee for renting seeds, you won't have to pay taxes. Why are you dissatisfied? You still want to surrender to Dongshan Prefecture. It's simply hateful.
It's okay if the common people vote there. After all, they are not friendly to the common people and impose too many excessive taxes. But for people with a lot of land, as long as they are named under the names of people with meritorious titles, they don't have to pay taxes. This is already good for them. Isn't it hateful that they still want to go to the rebels even if they are not satisfied?
The prefect of Nanshan Prefecture didn't know why things had developed to this point. It was clear that the court could not receive a penny from them because of the tax exemption, but they were still not satisfied and wanted to leave. If the court knew about this, they would probably feel Mad.
Let the gentry of Nanshan Prefecture say it, and they must say it. Under the rule of Nanshan Prefecture, although it is stated that there is no need to pay taxes, there are risks in being affiliated with the names of those with fame, and secondly, the cost of renting seeds. It's not low either. Many people who don't have that much land find out after thinking about it that if they go to Linlang's place, they can pay less, and the land can still be in their own name, so they don't have to worry about being swallowed up by others. Naturally, they want to go to Linlang's place. How can I still want to stay here and be so nervous about putting my land under someone else's name?
