Alas, promoted to become rich, these officials who only think about looting the people's fat and ointment are the moths in the land of China. Looking at the report sent by the Military Intelligence Department, Fang Nan sighed with emotion.

The latest report sent by the military intelligence department says that in the past two months, the Ming court has continued to recruit soldiers, and it is estimated that the current Ming court strength has exceeded one million, but there are a lot of new recruits, and with the training method of the Ming army, it will take at least more than a year to have some combat effectiveness.

But because of this conscription, various problems occurred under the rule of the Ming court.

Things such as not giving recruits settling-in allowances, directly arresting strong men, and releasing people if they were given money belonged to the normal operation of the Ming court's local governments, and the officials tried every means to collect money from recruitment.

After that, some local officials even came up with various names to raise taxes, the main name was thieves in the south, and everyone had to pay the tax on thieves.

The taxes of the Ming court are quite average, and there is no problem for the common people to have a few acres of land at home to eat, but the local government often raises taxes privately, so it is already relatively difficult for the people to live, and now the local government has to raise taxes, and many ordinary people can hardly bear it.

If there is no money to pay taxes, the official will come and get people, and only after paying taxes can he bring people home.

In the face of this situation, some ordinary people tried to scrape together money to pay taxes, but there were still many ordinary people who could not get together the money, and there were only two things they could do, one was to flee to the mountains, and the other was to rebel.

According to the investigation of the Military Intelligence Department, almost since the second quarter of this year, the number of rebellions under the rule of the Ming Dynasty has increased greatly, and some of the rebels who were originally hidden saw the success of the People's Army and wanted to come out again to occupy the land as king, but more often than not, a small group of ordinary people could not bear the oppression of the government and rebelled.

But whether it was the previous rebels who continued to rebel, or a small group of ordinary people rebelled, the vast majority of them failed, or were directly killed, or fled to the mountains, and only a few succeeded in occupying a city, and were soon exterminated or driven away by a large group of Ming troops.

At this time, it was not a good idea to rebel under the rule of the Ming court, although the main opponent of the Ming court was the people's army, and a large number of Ming troops were assembled in Guangxi, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian, but the Ming court still recruited troops in various places, and there were still many Ming troops in various places.

The worst is Guangxi, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian, where a large number of Ming troops have gathered and dared to rebel, and they may not last for a day.

According to the training method of the Ming army, only after bloody battles can the combat effectiveness be rapidly improved, and ordinary training can only be trained for more than one year to have combat effectiveness.

The strength of the People's Army is very strong, and Li Chengliang does not want to go to war with the People's Army now, these rebels who are making trouble have become Li Chengliang's best choice, and Li Chengliang is very happy to see the appearance of rebels in various places.

The officials forced the people to rebel, and the next moment there were officials and soldiers to encircle and suppress them, and in the end, the combat effectiveness of the officials and troops increased, the officials became rich, but the people died.

For the changes under the rule of the Ming Court, Fang Nan can't control so much, this is already a relatively good result, if the Ming Court is gone, the land of China will be completely chaotic, and the thieves from all walks of life will fight each other for the king, and the number of casualties will be more than ten times that of the current one, and the vitality of the land of China will be greatly damaged, and even the Tatars will not be able to resist it.

It is not that there are no good officials in the Ming court who love the people like children, but the number is too small, they speak out in the court, and even suggest that the Ming court learn from the people's army and distribute the land to the common people to win the hearts of the people.

But most of the ministers did not support it, and these ministers also had a lot of land in their families, and for their own interests, they were naturally unwilling to give the land to the common people for nothing.

Zhu Yijun is not a faint king, but very smart, he understands some things, and also understands that some things cannot be done, once he orders the land to be distributed to the people, many ministers in the court will come out to oppose it, and even force him to resign.

The appearance of the People's Army made Zhu Yijun want to understand some things and want to do some things, but Zhu Yijun will not do these things for the time being, and it is imperative to exterminate the People's Army.

In fact, at this time, in order to exterminate the people's army, some problems had already arisen in the Ming court, not only because of the rebellion of the people and thieves in some places, but also because of the Ming court's finances.

In the first ten years of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng made efforts, and now the Ming court belongs to the strongest time, the treasury is full, and there is no problem in maintaining an army of one million troops.

The key is that hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out by the People's Army, and the Ming Court quickly recruited and expanded the army to one million, and now the number of troops has exceeded one million.

Give the Ming court five years and ten years to slowly expand the army, and the situation of the Ming court can bear it, but in the face of the great enemy of the people's army, the Ming court can only expand the army with all its might, and almost after the expansion is over, it will launch an attack like the people's army, if it continues to wait, the Ming court itself will collapse.

Now the Ming court is ready to raise taxes.

The chaos in the Ming ruling area is frequent, and the people's army ruling area is harmonious and tranquil, this completely different situation is only known to a few people, Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin belong to this small number of people, and their glass mirror business has been done in the Ming ruling area, and they have also learned about some changes in the Ming ruling area.

On this day, Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin sat together and talked about the changes in the Ming ruling area.

"There are frequent thieves on the Ming side, and the convoy transporting the glass mirror is unlucky, and there are several thieves and robberies along the way, but fortunately, there are enough guards to kill the thieves, it's too chaotic." Liang Xin said with emotion that the situation was chaotic, and even business was unstable.

Listening to Liang Xin's words, Xia Jingshan replied with a smile: "Look at the people living and working in peace and contentment on our side, but Daming is in chaos, I feel that Daming is going to die, fortunately, we are the first to join the People's Army, we can sit here, it is the best thing, there are already so many people (magnates) who have died, I don't know how many people will die next, we just sit and watch the play now." ”

"Yes, it's good to sit and watch the show, there used to be too many business things, and doing business here in the People's Army is too simple, and there are no troubles at all." Jiang Ci also spoke, Xia Jingshan and Liang Xin both nodded slightly, but the three of them had a similar idea in their hearts.

It is simple to do business under the rule of the People's Army, but they want to return to the Ming rule, and the untouched people have turned over one by one, and they dare to look directly at them when they see them, and they also judge their heads, if they are in the Ming Dynasty, they will directly take the guards to go up and beat them.

It's a pity that they can't go back, if the People's Army is wiped out by the Ming Army, even if they take out all their wealth, it will be difficult for them to survive, and they can only continue to live under the rule of the People's Army in accordance with the rules of the People's Army, so they don't have to worry about their lives.
