Hu Sanqi suddenly thought of it, naturally it was to run fast, how could he fall into the hands of the enemy, although I don't know who the person who did it was, but the person who came was definitely a figure from the imperial capital, this is what many people said, although there are also many people who shaved their hair after hearing about the imperial capital, and deceived the people who pretended to be the imperial capital to cheat money, but they were quickly knocked down by the dictatorship's iron fist.

In this era of war and famine, there are not many people who are actually resistant to being a soldier, as long as you can mix a few full meals, even if you join the rebels, it seems that it is not a big deal, and you may be able to kill a rich man with a knife and a shot!

But what Hu Sanqi thought of was revenge!

His own family was born as a landlord, so he can naturally afford to see the play, what to worship the ancestors, do longevity or something, it was impossible for the opera troupe to come to such a small enclosure as his house, but whoever let the soldiers be in chaos, whose life is not easy, so even if he is not old, Hu Sanqi has also seen some dramas, although the content of those chattering singing plays is not understood, although there are many Mary Sues such as talented and beautiful women in the back garden, but there are many Mary Sues such as the Sword and Huansha Ji that describe Lin Chong and King Yue Goujian's revenge stories, killing enemies, The plot of revenge is also known.

Yes, revenge, when you become a soldier, you can find the enemy, kill people and take revenge, although he is ignorant and doesn't know who the enemy is, but when he arrives at the emperor, he will know, when the time comes, he Hu Sanqi can take his subordinates and kill all the officials in the imperial capital to take revenge!

He was anxious to sign up to be a soldier, but the recruiter was also frowning, for the recruiters who obeyed the orders of the imperial capital, the most feared thing was to recruit unqualified soldiers, those who had been bandits and cults before were not counted, and those who were not strong were not good.

frowned and checked this young beggar, but he was quite satisfied, Hu Sanqi had been a beggar for only a few months, his luck was good, and after selling the last bit of good things on his body, he still had some food, and when he was in the wild, he also picked up a lot of wild fruit impacts, so although he was also very thin, it was very normal in this era, and it was still healthy.

It's not good if he is dismissed, but he is not one more, so he asked a few words about Hu Sanqi and included him in the recruitment team.

Hu Sanqi became nervous, for fear of being seen something, of course, his speech was very vague, but he pretended to be stupid about where he came from, claiming to forget.

This is not surprising, in this era, the lowest civilians almost have no name, and they can't remember how old they are, of course, in order to remember their birthday, they creatively invented a way to combine their names with birthdays, and Zhu Chongba is naturally the best among them.

Hu Sanqi's name naturally belongs to this category.

Of course, the following things are very frightened, and when the evening comes, the soup is almost drunk, but many people are also in the category of relatives, after this recruiting ship is full, it is natural to pack everything, but the person in charge ordered everyone to strip naked, except for a few couples, the men are all stripped naked, washed in the water, he provides a piece of soap, and the joint use is not slow to wash.

After all, for overseas colonization, a couple means stable childbirth, North American family-style immigration allows the population to maintain white blood, and South America is all kinds of dicks, leading to the problem of national identity, which is naturally fresh in people's memories, and even taking a bath can go to the cabin to wash in turn.

After that, the clothes issued by everyone are not military uniforms, but very simple suits, men are actually big pants plus vests, very cool, although in the eyes of Mr. Daoist this is not a dress, but a barbarian dress, but it is impossible for them to pay for the poor to buy clothes, and then each person is issued a pair of slippers, and they can get on the boat one by one.

Hu Sanqi also got on the sand boat in anxiety, although the process was thrilling, but at least there was still a place to sit on the boat, and everyone was also given a transparent but unbreakable water cup.

This ship used to seem to be a ship on the Cao Yun, and the owner of the ship also used to transport grain to the imperial court, but now that the imperial capital no longer needs to transport grain, the saved transportation capacity can naturally not be wasted.

It took only one night to enter Hebei from Shandong and reach Tianjin, and the canal at this time was much more depressed than in the past.

In fact, in this era, the reason why landlord families have become landlords is because they have mastered some superficial knowledge, and they can use these things to use and bully peasants.

There were a total of 300 people on this ship, of which about 40 of them had joined the enemies of the imperial capital as soldiers, and the rest were going to the new territory conquered by a certain general, and there were about a dozen women, all husband and wife, and these pairs of men and women were also the best treated, and more than 20 people lived together in a cabin, so they didn't have to crowd with everyone else.

Hu Sanqi and forty people who are ready to join the army are crowded in a cabin, although they can only be crowded, but it is much better than more than 100 people crowded in a cabin, but the smell and sound are not to mention, but there are always people who are excited to talk about how to be favored by the above after becoming a soldier in the future, become a personal soldier, enter a big city, and then the boss ordered the slaughter of the city, he also followed behind into a large family, the boss naturally occupied the lady and young lady of the family, come to a parent-child donkey, sisters eat together, he took those maids next to him......

At night, in the midst of these snoring, spitting and obscenity, Hu Sanqi fell asleep groggily, but he also kept dreaming of his father and mother who he hadn't seen for a long time, and it seemed that there was still a hometown that he had forgotten for a long time, and his past life continued to return until ......

The huge bumpy whistle sounded, waking up many people, Hu Sanqi barely stood up, but when he arrived at the cabin door, because the sailing distance was very close, but overnight, he locked the cabin door directly, which was also afraid that these guys who took the settling-in fee would run away, of course, they were all good.

From the small ventilation hole at the door, the sky outside was bright, Hu Sanqi looked over, but there were many boats!

Those boats were of different styles, all of which belonged to various barges on the canal, but at this time, it could be seen that those boats were basically filled with men about the same size as him, and they were crowded!

There are three or four hundred people on this boat, so how many people will there be on so many boats docking?

Hu Sanqi shuddered in his heart, how many people were beyond his calculation ability, but I am afraid that there are more people than in his hometown county.

In the late Ming Dynasty, all parts of the Central Plains were "overpopulated" and the people were struggling to make a living, and the government's response was to cry poverty and demand relief and tax exemption.

However, after the tax exemption, the compulsory tax collection of those small people may become more severe, because the tax received in this way is completely owned by the official master, which is naturally Meizizi.

As for the handout, hehe.

When 10,000 taels of silver were withdrawn from the state treasury, 3,000 taels were immediately to be drifted away by the household officials according to the "usual practice". After the silver left the household department, the next thing was to pass through the yamen of the military department, and it was also to be slaughtered again. Then it has to go through the deduction of the military preparation road yamen and the general army yamen before it can be sent to the officer in charge of recruitment, and if there are three thousand taels of silver left at this time, it is time to burn high incense.

Then, according to the usual practice, these recruiting officers would deduct about 50 to 70 percent of their salaries to socialize and support their own families...... After such layers of geese plucked their feathers, God knows how many percent of the silver will be really used for recruitment?!

In that case, why should the important ministers take out the money they have worked so hard to embezzle and give it to those lower-level officials for welfare?

In general, the ancient "meat eaters" were really quite "contemptible", and they always seemed to be in some kind of situation where eating a hundred beans was not fishy, even if these insatiable guys knew that the crisis of breaking their family and country was imminent, but they still wouldn't learn any lessons.

It's not stupidity anymore, it's simply stupidity.

In the legend, in the story of Li Zicheng, there is such an "interesting" rumor: at that time, Li Zicheng gathered a peasant army to besiege Luoyang, trying to seize the countless gold, silver, grain and rice hoarded by the Fuwang Mansion in Luoyang City. Although the walls and fortresses of Luoyang are very strong, the defenders have already owed half a year's military salary before the war, and they naturally complained about the Luoyang government and the blessed king Zhu Changxun behind them, and said angrily: "The Luoyang palace is rich in the palace, and the gods spend the world's wealth to fat the king, but let us go to war on an empty stomach and kill the thief, how unfair" The military heart was extremely unstable for a while.

In the face of such a situation, just as the Ming Dynasty ministers wanted the emperor to allocate internal funds as soon as they encountered a lack of money, Luoyang Wenwu was also a dime a dime, and hoped that King Fu would be loyal to the monarch and patriotic, generous, first the prefect of Luoyang and the general army went to King Fu's Mansion to persuade donations, and after failing to do so, he invited Lu Weiqi, the former military secretary who lived in seclusion in Luoyang at that time, to enter the Fu Wang's Mansion many times, and persuaded Zhu Changxun to open the treasury to help the hungry people and reward the soldiers. It's a pity that it is said that King Fu was greedy for money at that time and did not listen to it at all. In the end, the defenders were resentful and hated, and after only one day of fighting, they mutinied, surrendered to Li Zicheng, and Luoyang fell.

After Li Zicheng broke through Luoyang, he caught King Fu who failed to escape, and ordered his subordinates to tie up the 300-pound fat prince, strip it and wash it, and get a few sika deer from the garden of King Fu's mansion to slaughter, and throw it into a big tripod with King Fu to cook it into minced meat, called "Fu Lu Banquet", for the soldiers to share, since then, King Fu Zhu Changxun has become the laughing stock of the literati, as if the fall of Luoyang is his sin.

But the actual situation at that time was not the case, on the eve of the outbreak of the Battle of Luoyang, although King Fu was indeed unwilling to pay at first, but under the repeated persuasion of Lu Weiqi, the former secretary of the military department, he finally donated 30,000 taels of silver. Coupled with the donations of other gentry in Luoyang City, he finally got 50,000 taels of silver and 1,000 stones of grain and rice. When this batch of money and grain was delivered, the officers and soldiers defending the city in Luoyang immediately thundered with joy and their morale was greatly boosted.

But the problem is that even when such soldiers are in danger of fighting, Luoyang Wenwu still did not forget to drift out of money and food, and even deducted more fiercely than usual, 50,000 taels of silver just arrived, Luoyang Branch Patrol Wang Yinchang left 10,000 taels, Wang Shaoyu also deducted 10,000 taels, Luoyang prefect Feng swallowed 8,000 taels, Luoyang Tuiguan Wei took 3,000 taels, and when it was sent to the more than 4,000 officers and soldiers defending the city, the 50,000 taels of silver on the account were only 8,000 taels, and several petty officers conspired to swallow 5,000 taels. In the end, each officer and soldier was only given a few coins of silver.

However, all the officers and soldiers already knew about the fact that the government had raised 50,000 taels of silver before, and they were all waiting for this unprecedented reward. At this time, even if it was already a critical juncture for the rogue soldiers to come to the city, the bosses were still treating themselves so harshly, so under the huge gap that fell together, everyone was naturally angry and full of resentment. Then, because of the uneven distribution of silver among the battalions, the defenders broke out in internal strife on the city wall for the silver, and even killed people with knives. Li Zicheng took the opportunity to wave his division and attack, and the defenders naturally surrendered and fled......

Perhaps, the reason why the blessed king Zhu Changxun refused to pay at the beginning was probably because he knew that with the deadly nature of these dumb officials in Luoyang, even if they were given more silver taels, even if the knife had been put on their necks, they would only use it to fill their own pockets, and they still refused to spend it on the war.

Since ancient times, the relief after natural disasters will always become a feast for the grassroots authorities, which has become an open secret, even the emperor is helpless, knowing that the relief money and food will be stripped layer by layer, to the hands of the disaster victims do not save one, but still continue to allot, otherwise natural disasters will provoke the people's uprising, many times even if more money and food are allocated will also provoke the people's uprising, the so-called prosperity and the end of the world An important difference is that in the prosperous times, even if the disaster relief materials are withheld layer by layer, In the end, the victims were able to get some of it. In the last days, it became the bureaucracy that completely swallowed up all the appropriations and materials, oppressed the people so that they could not survive, and finally provoked a popular uprising and let the emperor hang himself.

When a feudal dynasty was in its prime, the institution generally remained functional, and the level of corruption of officials did not affect the ability of the administration to execute. But by the end of the dynasty, as corruption became more and more serious, the administrative system's ability to enforce had declined. At the end of the period, the whole country will enter a state of anarchy, not to mention the victims, and even the army will have to live by robbing homes and houses, even if the enemy soldiers besiege the city and the blades are up to the neck, the civil officials still do not forget to embezzle and deduct.

Therefore, with the help of such virtuous civil servants, the population naturally had to be forced to seek a way to survive in other places, which also gave Li Xiangqian and others the opportunity to harvest the population.
