Chapter 124
Hearing the words "everything is in power, forcibly conscripted", Chu Heng's heart tightened, and the memories that had been pressed in his heart for many years came to his mind again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
More than 20 years ago, the Hu people invaded most of the northern land, and when he reached the Shangdang, he was only a half-grown teenager, but he had to face the cruel war - after the soldiers on the front line were almost dead, they were forced to red eyes by successive defeats, and the wolf-like officers and soldiers, under the leadership of the officials, rushed into the house, and without saying anything, and ignored the pleading and screaming of the women and children, they took away all the slightly taller children and the gray-haired old people.
No, it's not so much about bringing as it is about grabbing.
The old men and children who were snatched into the barracks were driven to the battlefield without the slightest training, and were only given a sharpened wooden spear. In front is the whistling Hu cavalry and endless arrows, and behind is the closed city wall and the same dense rain of arrows.
Compared with so many teenagers who died in the war, Chu Heng was lucky, because he was smart and clever when he was a child, and he once died begging for Bai Lai to pester a wandering Lang Zhong, and the other party taught him some simple words. After being caught in the barracks, because of extreme fear, when the soldiers wanted to drive him to the pioneer camp, he lied that he had read several books and could speak and write, so that he could be regarded as a cherished talent and sorted out the documents in the rear.
Chu Heng didn't dare to tell anyone that he really knew no more than three hundred words, and even less fifty words that he could write. When he first copied the document, he didn't know half of the words on the document, so he had to trace it carefully, and tried all kinds of ways to learn it desperately.
If in the prime of life, with his clumsy skills, he naturally can't fool for a few days, but when the war comes, who will not be able to get along with a half-grown child? Even if his colleagues guessed his foolishness, they tacitly covered for him and shared some difficult work for him in the early days...... The bones of the teenagers who were taken away with him were difficult to find, but he was the only one who survived. Rao is like this, but he also fell into the problem of regretting his life to the point of being almost sick, unable to hear a slightly louder voice, and unable to see the fire.
Chu Heng himself didn't realize that his attitude towards conscription was always negative. Therefore, hearing Xu Hui's words, Chu Heng hesitated: "If it arouses public anger, it is really ...... the situation General, don't we raise the reward ......?"
"Raise the bounty? Don't say that I don't have so much authority, and I don't have so much land in the party, even if I do, you look up to them too much, right? Chu Heng didn't say it's okay, as soon as he said this, Xu Hui's anger was completely ignited, and even his voice was a little murderous, "I said before that my grandfather was too good to these homeless people, and my grandfather was extremely stubborn in this regard." I advised my grandfather several times, saying that according to the way we collect taxes from the party, we must let the homeless people pay seventy percent of the tax, so that they will not starve to death, but they will not be able to eat enough, so that they will not be able to raise this group of guys too well, and they will not be able to use it when the time comes, and my grandfather will not allow it, and let me kneel in the ancestral hall for three days for the first time......"
The more Chu Heng listened, the more frightened he became, and he really wanted to find something to bury himself and pretend not to exist.
He knew in his heart that Xu Hui was young, experienced few battles, and had a sense of arrogance and superiority, so he would talk to himself a little gaffe after being frustrated again and again. But when she reacts, it's okay if there is room for people, but if not...... I'm going to be out of luck.
Xu Hui did have some gaffes, because the disposition of the displaced people was the most serious of the few differences of opinion between her and Xu Ze.
Xu Hui never understood why Xu Ze tried his best to give the people good treatment, so that they could be fed and clothed, and even the homeless people had such power. In her mind, the people who belong to the county naturally have to be treated well, so that they can swear allegiance to the death, but the people can be ...... To put it mildly, this group of people is a hungry wild dog, which rushes over wherever there is any benefit, scatters and runs away when something happens, and bites mercilessly when forced to hurry.
For this kind of wandering, there is no sense of belonging to Shangdang County, and they may bite them back at any time, so naturally it is impossible to squeeze and exploit them. Xu Hui's opinion was that not only should the displaced people pay high taxes, but they should also be asked to requisition a part of the land rent and material transfer, so as to ensure that they are half-starved and half-fed every day, but they are in a much better state than before their exile. In this way, not only can they get more supplies, but even if the displaced people really have any different intentions, they will not be able to play a role for a while because of their lack of physical strength and lack of sophisticated equipment; Moreover, by doing so, it will not only allow the previously oppressed displaced people to settle down temporarily, but also make it easier to use them for whatever they want in the future.
Xu Hui thought about this strategy for a long time, considered it, deleted and modified it day and night, and after more than a month, Fang confidently suggested to Xu Ze. Only with her special identity can she freely put forward all kinds of opinions to Xu Ze, and she will not be suspicious. Unexpectedly, when Xu Ze heard this, he was furious, and without saying a word, he directly ordered Xu Hui to kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on it.
Xu Hui was extremely stubborn by nature, and he decided that the decision he made was right, so he refused to admit his mistake, so he extended the four-hour punishment to three days. Xu Ze also knew that Xu Hui's suggestion was the most in line with the situation of this era, but he was still the modern person who received equal education in his bones, and he saw the hardships of the people in this era, so he had a strange persistence. In other counties, he can't manage it, and he can't manage it, but in Shangdang County, he did his best to make the people live better.
This is the unique pride and persistence of the traverser, pampered, accustomed to the use of family resources, even if two lives are human, Xu Hui, who has always been superior, can not, let alone understand. The resentment and incomprehension in her heart were suppressed by Xu Ze by force, but they were never erased, especially after encountering this kind of thing, which added a little resentment.
Xu Hui respects Xu Ze very much, and she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with her grandfather's actions, she only thinks that her grandfather is benevolent and even gives preferential treatment to the homeless. The displaced people are accustomed to a comfortable life, but some of them don't know what to do, and they don't know how to get the sky high and the earth is thick. Even the land is leased, but when the party is in danger, even people dare not come out, and they are really white-eyed wolves who can't be raised.
If it is said that before this, she still had some psychological burden on forced conscription, and she was willing to fight for the punishment of her father and ancestors and others, and promised heavy benefits. At the moment, she really didn't feel the slightest guilt, and after calming down a little, she didn't think about it, and opened her mouth to give a series of instructions: "The widow is in charge, or the only son in the family, don't think about it for the time being; A homeless family with two to three sons, the second son is forcibly conscripted into the army, and the offender is beheaded; The sons and the four of them in the family pinched their heads and removed their tails, and one of them came over; The third, fourth and even fifth generations of the family are in the same house, and after making sure that there are people who are old and send them to the end, they will pull all the excess young and strong people over. ”
Chu Heng listened to Xu Hui's order in fear, and was already a little unsure how many people she was going to recruit to go to the battlefield, thinking only that if the displaced people were in chaos, the 1,500 people brought by Xu Hui, as well as the 300 state soldiers in Xiangyuan County, and dozens of government officials would be enough to suppress it. Unexpectedly, Xu Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly ordered: "Among the displaced people, there are both single families and clans. The unruly clans also do as I say; The leader is a little more sleek, or simply an old man, and the young and strong have a clan of 100 people, and they are ordered to get 5 to 10 of the 100 young and strong, and they are not allowed to exceed 10%. ”
Chu Heng was quickly anxious about Xu Hui's order, and at the same time pondered her meaning, and after pondering for a while, he couldn't help but gasp.
People have the psychology of comparison, and when they see that they are better than others, they feel comfortable; When he saw that others were doing better than himself, he was jealous and red-eyed. If Xu Hui is fair and recruits and discriminates equally, everyone will be resentful, and the big clan will take the lead, and the scattered people will be in the front, and it is really possible for them to make trouble. However, Xu Hui played such a trick and completely cut off their back road to rebellion.
If he falls into the territory of others, he can still leave an "unruly" impression on the local county order, and the leader's scheming is naturally not deep, and it is estimated that he is a brute force. It's just that this kind of person is still very gangsteristic, he thinks he is very arrogant and righteous, and he looks down on people who try to have a good relationship with the government, but they don't know that this is the wisdom of survival, and they are fools who don't know how to restrain themselves.
It is conceivable that if this kind of person with a bad brain hears the object that he looks down on on weekdays, he only needs to draw one to ten people out of a hundred people, but at least thirty or more people will be taken away on their side, and the spearhead will be directed at whom. The clans that have been treated preferentially think that the government is showing favor to them, and in order to deal with the contradictions and go further, they must get closer to the government.
The homeless people are a mess of scattered sand, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve things without a leader, Xu Hui's plan can easily avoid future troubles, which is really clever.
Seeing that she had come over so quickly, Chu Heng didn't dare to underestimate her anymore, and cautiously added: "The big homeless people who are used to stirring up trouble have a lot of strength, if they are ......"
Xu Hui looked at Chu Heng, his eyes were cold, like a knife peak, and his tone was full of meaning: "Strength? Very well, conscription requires strong people! I will send troops over to assist the officials and officials in their actions, and if there is a slight resistance, they will be killed! ”
"Send, send troops? They also built small dock forts, and they also made their own bows and arrows......"
"So what?" Xu Hui said coldly, "Grandfather has long stipulated that the homeless people must not use too solid and precious wood to build the dock fort, let alone divert water as a canal. I don't lack this bit of oil! ”
The bloody meaning in Xu Hui's words was too thick, Chu Heng heard this, his whole body trembled unconsciously, and he finally stabilized his breathing, and then made a futile effort: "This, this is really ...... for your reputation"
"Reputation?" Xu Hui smiled casually, full of sarcasm and disdain, "Chu County Order, don't forget, I am a general now, and a general doesn't need a good reputation." (To be continued.) )
