Of course, this does not mean that all wealthy families under the Huai Army will be eliminated. This is unrealistic, because no matter what era, there will be different classes.
In the peaceful era of the Origin World, there were still many noble people, who were not much different from the aristocratic families in history.
The difference between the two sides is that the aristocratic families in the new era are not so overbearing and do not block all channels for lower-class people to improve their class.
One of the most significant features of a healthy and long-lived regime is that it allows people to continuously improve their social status, with relatively smooth upward and downward channels, to learn from the past and incorporate the new, and to continue the cycle.
The aristocratic families under the rule of Soochow controlled power. Most of the civil and military generals in the Soochow Dynasty came from aristocratic families. The generals from poor families and rural backgrounds were basically known for their bravery, and their status was as thugs.
With their powerful force, they were able to gain a certain status in Soochow in a short period of time.
But when they died in battle or died of illness, their descendants would immediately decline in their families, and they would never be able to reach the heights of their parents, and they would not be regarded as one of their own by the famous family who passed down the scriptures.
This kind of general family can only last for two or three generations, but the aristocratic family can last for five or even ten generations.
This is not to mention the wealthy families who can rule the world together with the monarch, the servants and servants in their names, and the annexed lands and forests. Through various means, they rarely pay taxes to the government.
They did not pay taxes, and the cost of the government's rule of the world was slowly transferred to ordinary people. As the land of ordinary people was annexed by these wealthy families, the national destiny of the dynasty slowly came to an end...
It's not that Wang Jing can't accommodate the existence of famous families, but it's that he can't accommodate such a wealthy family that is almost semi-separated and can even compete with the monarch.
Among these wealthy families, there must be some truly famous families who are kind to others, but they are only a minority.
The hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland, continuous tea mountains, and mines under their names cannot be given to them by others... The famous wealthy families in history may have been good at the beginning, but the second and third generations will... Not satisfied with the family fortune, he embarked on the path of land annexation and hiding his household registration.
Gao Xi, Cen Wenwen, and even Chen Qingzhi all understood what Wang Jing meant.
Chen Qingzhi, a famous general who had just defected to the Huai Army, had been wandering around the cities of the Huai Army for a while, and he very much recognized Wang Jing's political philosophy and the governance effects of the counties under the Huai Army.
Under the rule of the Huai Army, several famous families emerged, including the Qiao family of the queen's mother's family, the Bu family behind Bu Zhao, the Lanling Xiao family represented by Xiao Yuanming...
There are also some famous families from various eras, but their status and reputation are far inferior to these three.
Even these three famous families.
When doing business, you have to pay taxes as usual. The only place where you don't have to pay taxes is the land given by Wang Jing. Juetian has a fixed number, so there is no need to worry about trickery and other means.
"I don't know, Your Majesty, are you going to let that general lead the troops to sweep the Soochow City?"
Gao Xi asked.
Wang Jing said: "Let General Yuwen and General Zhang Hao lead the troops. Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Hao will respectively take the position of commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, and each will lead 50,000 elite troops to go south. Yuwen Chengdu will attack Kunshan, and Zhang Hao will attack Taicang..."
The Chinese army has a total of 600,000 soldiers, but some of them are naval troops to ensure the Chinese army's retreat.
There are still 200,000 troops and horses to stay in the Changzhou camp to stabilize the frontal battlefield.
Nearly 200,000 troops can still be divided.
The Huai army has a very strong force, and no matter how it is divided, there is always room for strength.
However, Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Hao are not weak in personal strength, but their ability to lead troops has yet to be tested. We can only give them 50,000 troops each first to avoid wasting troops.
For two generals whose strength has reached the ninth level, these troops are enough.
"It's okay that the king divided one hundred thousand troops to go south. I have been worried that Liu Yu would suddenly lead his troops eastward. If my guess is true, our army will still need another army to resist the opponent's offensive!"
In Gao Xi's tone, he was a little worried about Liu Yu.
Fortunately, Wang Jing allocated 100,000 troops and left most of the main force in the Changzhou camp. Not afraid of Liu Yu's sudden attack.
"Liu Yu will definitely send troops!"
Wang Jing glanced at the western sky, and seemed to be able to see Danyang City far away. "If Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi can really watch us annex Soochow, then their vision is not worthy of their place in history." reputation!"
"With Xiao Daocheng and Fu Youde stationed in Jiangyin and Wuxi, it will not be easy for Liu Yu to attack the main force of our army!"
Gao Xi, Cen Wenwen and Chen Qingzhi nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Xie Hui was a little silent when he heard the two words Liu Yu.
Wang Jing and the civil and military officials made no other changes except for the decision to divide their troops.
Wait until noon.
The cold wind in winter does not seem so biting under the sunshine.
A large number of soldiers began to cut wood and quarry stone, and build ladders, columbuses and other siege equipment. The Huai army had many craftsmen and their equipment was very sophisticated. But siege equipment, except for catapults and city-breaking crossbows, are basically consumables.
No matter how wealthy the Huai army was, they would not make the decision to transport siege equipment all the way across the country in cloud chariots.
All the siege troops and horses were cutting wood and quarrying nearby rocks to temporarily prepare tools for siege.
Follow Wang Jing's instructions.
The main force of the Huai Army will not move rashly until the siege equipment is completed. With the Huai Army's manpower and material resources, it will take a day or two to build the equipment.
During this period of time, Shi Wansui needed to arrange his troops and prepare the order and plan for the siege.
The two generals, Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Hao, also had to count their soldiers and lead their troops southward when the siege began.
Everything is in preparation.
Before the war started in Changshu, Wuxi and Changzhou were already caught in the flames of war.
Outside Wuxi.
The sky roared and the wind and thunder shook.
On the ground, Yang Dayan personally led the cavalry and was charging towards the military formation in front. On the opposite side, there was also a burly man holding a broadsword, wearing brocade clothes, and a bell tied around his waist.
Brocade clothes and copper bells!
With such obvious characteristics, he is obviously Gan Ning, the general of Soochow.
"Fire the arrow!"
Gan Ning personally stood in the front, commanding on the spot, staring closely at Yang Dayan, who was approaching from a distance. No lag in momentum at all.
His strength has also reached the top of the human realm.
With the support of the military formation, he and Yang Dayan were evenly matched.
Before the Earth Realm generals appeared, the strength gap between the ninth level generals was not as big as imagined, because even the Heaven Realm generals could only display the strength of the Human Realm at this time.
As for Fu Youde, in addition to leaving some troops stationed in Wuxi, he was leading another elite force towards Changzhou.
Because news came from Changzhou.
There were changes in Liu Song's troops and horses, and Liu Laozhi showed signs of leading his troops eastward.
