"No taxes? Isn't it a bit too much? Yang Xuan objected, "So far, our territory is only Chicheng and Ye County, Ye County has been burned to the ground, if Chicheng doesn't collect taxes, then what will our Chicheng army eat?" ”

It is not surprising that some people oppose Qin Wang, "Look at the problem in the long term." First of all, such a benefit is something that the people of Akagi should get, and they exchanged their lives for it, so you don't have an opinion, right? ”

After speaking, Qin Forget glanced around at everyone, and seeing that no one objected, he continued: "The people of Chicheng have been plagued like this, how much can they receive even if they collect taxes?" The top priority now is to get Akagi back to life as soon as possible, and not collecting taxes is the fastest way to do it. Chicheng is located in the north, the land is barren, and it is a place bordering the Khitan and the Central Plains, so it should not rely on agriculture in the first place, but more on commerce. As soon as the tea horse market opens, our income from the tea horse market will be enough to feed our Akagi army. Another point is that I intend to build a solid backing for our Akagi, you think, if we distribute the land to the common people and never collect taxes, then what will they do to us? What to do with our enemies? They will see us as reborn parents, and they will fight our enemies, just like this time. ”

After hearing what Qin Forget said, everyone pondered. Most of these people are from Akagi or the surrounding counties, and they are very familiar with the situation in this area. The soil in the north is poor, and the harvest of an acre of land is only about one stone, and it can't be more, and after never collecting taxes, in fact, the Akagi army didn't lose much, but the benefits were really great.

"The owner is far-sighted, but Yang Xuan is short-sighted." Thinking about it, Yang Xuan said with admiration.

"Okay, if only everyone could figure it out. One last thing, Cadet Scouts. Speaking of this, Qin Forget closed his eyes in pain.

Hearing Qin Forget say this, everyone in the hall fell silent, the loss of the Boy Army this time was indeed too heavy, the loss of teenagers over the age of thirteen was at least half, that thin body was Qin Forget, and it was also the deepest pain for everyone.

"Chen Wangchun, they are no longer suitable to stay in the nursery school, let's make them my personal guard camp. Duan Jiu is the battalion commander, Jin Wu is the head of the sect, and I take it with me to teach it personally. The order went on, and from now on, I, Akagi Erlang, under the age of fourteen, will never be allowed to go to the battlefield, and if it is found, I will behead the conscription supervisor and severely punish the commander-in-chief. ”

"Yes!" Everyone's hearts are awe-inspiring, it seems that this will be the red line in the hearts of the owner in the future, and if you touch it, you will either die or be injured. When I go back, I have to quickly check if any of my soldiers are under fourteen. By the way, those who are over fourteen, but look skinny, should also be driven away together, and the province will be in big trouble in the future.

"Alright, let's go out and get busy, I'm tired." Qin Forget waved his hand, and everyone got up to salute in return, walked out of the door quickly, and ran to their posts.

Qin Wang, who was left in his seat, looked at the empty hall with a lost mind, "Dao Chief, is it really like you said, I'm alive."

Is it a blessing or a curse for the world? ”

Two days later.

The shogun's temple in Akagi has long been transformed into a hall dedicated to the dead soldiers of Akagi, and the low hillside is also named Eiryong Mountain. During this time, soldiers who died in battle were sent here for burial, and it became a sacred place for all Akagi people. Especially those soldiers, they were all proud to be able to enter the Heroic Hall after dying in battle, Qin Forget gave them glory and dignity, and these ordinary soldiers reciprocated their lives.

Today's Yingling Mountain people kill people, on the small mountain, countless new graves have emerged in a few days, one next to the other, neatly arranged, covering half of the hillside, looking from a distance, it is like the mountain is densely filled with steamed buns. It was the ordinary people and regular soldiers of Akagi Prefecture who died in this war, they were buried together, regardless of the army or the people, everyone was from Akagi.

And next to Yingling Mountain, there is also a hill towering, where all the people of Ye County are buried. Because all the people in Yexian County are dead, there is no way to separate them one by one and bury them again, so they can only be buried together, and I also hope that those unjust souls on Huangquan Road can have a companion.

Sixty or seventy thousand people were buried together, and the hill was so tall that it seemed to be shoulder-to-shoulder with Mount Yingling. In front of the mountain, there is a stone tablet as high as five zhang, on which is written, "The tomb of the people of Yexian County", eight blood-red characters, as if it is an indictment of the injustice between heaven and earth.

The front of Yingling Mountain was full of soldiers, the Chicheng soldiers, the Xinzhou Naval Division, and Huang Wushuang's ironclad soldiers, and the three armies were neatly lined up, and they were distinct. Among them, the Akagi soldiers and the Xinzhou sailors wore white scarves around their heads and white robes, and even the flags were white. Although it is not moving, it has its own momentum of mourning and victory. Behind the army, there were the remaining thirty or forty thousand people in Akagi, who were also dressed in heavy filial piety, and there were bursts of heartbreaking cries from the crowd.

The sky was extremely overcast, and the dark clouds as thick as lead pressed down on people's heads, making people breathless. The atmosphere was depressing, and everyone's hearts were like dark clouds, filled with grief and anger.

"The general has arrived!" A high-pitched shout rang out behind the people.

People followed the prestige, only to see Qin Forget walking slowly surrounded by a group of Chicheng generals, he was like everyone else, with a snow-white turban wrapped around his head, and a triple filial piety on his body, reflecting his already pale face, even more bloodless.

"See the general!" The Akagi soldiers and the Xinzhou sailors fell to their knees in unison and shouted loudly.

"See the general!" All the people of Akagi also knelt down with their hands and feet, and shouted in unison with the soldiers.

Qin Wang's nose was slightly sour, what a good person, because of his own mistakes, he caused them such a big disaster, but they didn't blame themselves at all, on the contrary, they still respected themselves as before. In this situation, Qin Forget felt extremely embarrassed and took it

Not great.

"Fathers, Qin Forget is late, Qin Forget is sorry for everyone!" Qin Forget knelt down on his knees in front of the Akagi soldiers and civilians and yelled loudly, his voice trembling, but he still tried his best to endure the tears in his eyes.

"General, you are our reborn parents, and we and the grass people can't kneel down with you." An old man in a sixtieth armor who was very close to Qin Wang saw Qin Wang's appearance, and his body kneeling on the ground was much closer to the ground, and he choked up and said.

"It's all Qin Wang's fault, and the old man doesn't need to persuade him more. This kneeling is the people of the whole city of Kneeling Ye County, kneeling the heroic souls who died in Chicheng, kneeling the relatives who died bravely in battle, and even more kneeling everyone! Qin Forget didn't stand up, his tone was full of self-blame.

"The general is benevolent! The general is benevolent! ”

Hearing Qin Forget say this, the people around him seemed to be moved, and they all cried as if they remembered the tragic situation that day, shouting while crying, "The general is benevolent!" From near to far, soon all the people and soldiers shouted "General benevolence!" "The momentum shook the sky and rushed straight into the sky.

Huang Wushuang stood there abruptly with his people, looking at the scene in front of him, and sighed in his heart. It is definitely not an accident that Qin Wang's achievements are today, just looking at his performance today, whether it is sincere or showmanship, he definitely surpasses most of the superiors in this world. Don't talk about others, just say that Huang Wushuang has served for more than ten years, and the Golden Mountain can't do this. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat, the truth is simple, but people who can really understand this truth are difficult to find in this troubled world. It is reasonable that Qin Forget will be so supported.

He glanced at Huang Qi beside him, "Let's start." ”

"General, do you really want to do this?" Huang Qi looked at him hesitantly, and the exit confirmed.

Huang Wushuang smiled bitterly, "Huang Qi, don't you still understand? This is our vote. ”

"But why do you have to be here in Akagi? We have so many heroic brothers that we can make a new world wherever we go. Huang Qi was still a little unwilling.

Huang Wushuang looked up at the sky, the sky was so vast, but in his eyes it was so narrow, "Ah Qi, since we appeared in Akagi, we have no way out. No one will take us in, and no one will take us as friends. ”

"Why?" Huang Qi asked puzzledly, "We have three thousand iron armor elites, so naturally some people take a fancy to us." ”

Huang Wushuang smiled bitterly again, "Because we betrayed our own family, no matter what the reason is, others will not care, they will only see us betraying our own family." Aqi, a person who would betray even his own family, would not be trusted by other families. Qin Forget is different, he is the only force in this Great Yan Northern Land that is not composed of families, and he is the only one here who can accommodate us, let's go! ”

"Yes!" Huang Qi reluctantly agreed. With a wave of his hand, a thousand ironclad battalions followed him towards the camp.
