Chapter 376: Worms
Li Zhi said: "These gentry and bureaucrats, seeing the world in flames and the displacement of the people, have no desire to save the country. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info delves into his own small profits every day, lest he not be able to dig into the corners of the country, lest he not be able to eat the blood and sweat of the poor. ”
"If the imperial court has no pay to train the army, if the peasants are crushed by taxes and all the thieves are invaded by the thieves, can these gentry maintain the arrogant and lascivious life they live today? I am afraid that all these gentry will be killed by thieves and have their homes raided. If the imperial court could not collect taxes, and the state affairs corrupted the Manchu Qing Dynasty, wouldn't these gentry still have to pay land taxes to the Manchu Qing Dynasty? ”
"But these rats would rather collapse the country than let the profits come out and let the Ming Dynasty recover a little blood."
"Benbo did something for the country, and asked these gentry to pay a little land endowment, and these gentry did their best to fight each other with death. They keep saying that this world is ruled by them and the Son of Heaven, but they don't care at all about eating this world. ”
"We fought in the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, helping Daming to fight for a peaceful environment, but it became a fertile ground for these parasites. They want to intensify their efforts in this peaceful environment and wipe out the Ming Dynasty. ”
"There has never been such a class in the world that enjoys such great benefits and holds such great power, but yet bears such small responsibilities and makes such small contributions."
"There has never been such a group in the world, seeing that the building to which they are attached is about to collapse, but still disregarding the demolition of beams and pillars and digging the foot of the wall."
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Xing, Zheng Kaicheng, Li Laosi and others were all indignant. Zhong Feng slapped the table and said loudly: "Uncle, we fought with them!" ”
Li Zhi nodded and said, "None of these rats can be left." I want the gentry of the world to understand that those who dare to stand in front of Ben Bo are all looking for death! ”

Jiang Chong, the company commander of the Tiger Division, stood in the barracks of the barracks and looked at the Fanjiazhuang soldiers in the barracks with ignorant expressions.
These soldiers are uncle's soldiers. It was the uncle who earned the silver from looms and pieces of soap to feed these elite soldiers. Without the uncle, these soldiers would not have today's superior life, they would not be the soldiers of Fanjiazhuang who everyone admires, and they would only be poor farmers who eat chaff and drink scarce in the fields.
Without an uncle, there would be no tiger master.
Jiang Chong is now a company commander, and he already has the rank of a thousand households. No matter where you go, others must respectfully call yourself Jiang Qianhu. Some peasants, hearing their official ranks, even wanted to kneel down to themselves.
Jiang Chong married a wife and lived in a luxurious villa, living a life that everyone envied. This life was given by the uncle.
Jiang Chong did not allow anyone to provoke his uncle and provoke his own good life.
Looking at the two hundred soldiers standing, sitting, and squatting in the barracks, Jiang Chong said loudly: "Do you know why I summoned you to this barracks today? ”
The soldiers looked at each other for a while, all at a loss. They didn't get Han Jinxin's information, so how did they know about things outside Tianjin? Tianjin is under the control of Li Zhi, and no one dares to do anything to the products of the Li family. The turmoil in Beijing, Jiangnan, Shandong, and all over the country smashing the Li family's products has just begun, and the news has not yet reached Tianjin.
Jiang Chong said loudly: "Outside Tianjin, the gentry have begun to smash the products of the uncle's industry, saying that they want the uncle to have a piece of soap and a piece of fine cloth that cannot be sold!" ”
Hearing Jiang Chong's words, the soldiers were stunned one by one, and then they all had angry expressions.
The soldiers all knew that the uncle had begun to collect the gentry and commercial taxes in Tianjin these days, and forced the chief officials from all over Tianjin to hang up their seals. The gentry of Tianjin seemed to have exploded, and had organized several assassinations of their uncle.
Unexpectedly, the account books and documents of the uncle's collection of commercial taxes had not yet been clarified, and the gentry outside Tianjin had already united and started to take action against the uncle's property.
The soldiers were all from poor backgrounds, and when they heard that the gentry were collectively dealing with their uncle, they were filled with righteous indignation.
The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Division had good military discipline, and although they all had angry faces, when they listened to the company commander's words, none of them talked about it privately.
Jiang Chong looked at his soldiers, nodded, and said, "Uncle organized the Tiger Ben Division and spent all the income, what is it for?" ”
"Is it for your own glory and wealth? No! Uncle is not extravagant, he is in such a high position, and sometimes he even wears cotton clothes. Uncle raises tiger masters, and he pays for it all by himself! ”
"What is the purpose of the uncle giving high salaries to the workers, the low rent to the peasants, and the generous monthly money to the soldiers, so that more and more people can live a good life?"
Jiang Chong said: "We followed our uncle to fight in the south and the north, fought with the Tartars, fought with the thieves, cut down trees and built camps in the cold Qingshan Pass, and were pierced into our hands by wooden thorns again and again. What is the purpose of traveling sixty miles a day in the muddy Shu, chasing Zhang Xianzhong, and walking exhausted? ”
"Is it just for the monthly money of three or seven cents a month?"
"At that time, we did not have any armor on us, but we were shooting at each other with the Tartar archers outside the city of Fanjiazhuang. At that time, we only had a bayonet in our hands, but we fought to the death against the three-layer heavy armor of the Tartar white armor. ”
"At that time, when we heard the news of Lu Duchen's death, we rushed towards the army of 30,000 Tartars, forgetting about life and death."
"Those soldiers who were killed by Tartar bows and arrows, those who were killed by the horses of the white-armored soldiers, when they died in battle, were they only thinking about silver?"
"No, when those soldiers died in battle, what they thought was to work with their uncle to save this Daming! Save the suffering people of the world! ”
"Uncle's monthly money is just a reason for those heroes who died in battle to come forward!"
Listening to Jiang Chong's words, the soldiers thought of those robes who died in battle, and their eyes gradually moistened.
"We saved the Ming Dynasty, and we saved countless people. In today's Ming Dynasty, the Tartars did not dare to enter the customs easily, and the thieves were also killed. We used the blood of the Tiger Master to make the Ming Dynasty peaceful! We give the people a bright future. ”
"But the gentry are not grateful to us in the slightest. They hide behind us and suck the blood and sweat of the people in a reckless manner. If we don't let them suck blood, they fight with us. They cut off the raw materials of the uncle's industry and smashed the uncle's products! ”
"Are we killing blood in the sea of corpses and blood, just to give these gentry more space to absorb the flesh and blood of the world?"
"Do we throw our heads and spill our blood just so that these worms can be powerful on our heads?"
Jiang Chong's face became redder the more he spoke, and he shouted loudly: "Can we let these insects ruin the blood and sweat of our uncle?" ”
The soldiers shouted: "Can't! ”
Jiang Chong asked, "What should we do?" ”
The soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill! ”
