Chapter 518: Violent Storm, Lightning and Thunder, Power Outage
Of the more than 30,000 land and field coalition troops under the city of Nanjing, there are only more than 15,000 left in the camp at this moment. Most of the inside is the Tianhu army, and the Liangshan army is exactly said to be only 5,000 pro-army.
Their numbers were far less than Tian Hujun's, but Tian Hu, who knew Liang Shanjun well, didn't dare to give birth to the slightest idea of not being beautiful. The well-known pro-army left and right battalions, the masters of tens of thousands of Western troops who did not retreat back then, and the world's top strong soldiers. Don't look at the fact that there are only 5,000 people, half of them are left to look after the house, and the other half can easily push them loosely.
Is the first strong army in Liangshan fake?
However, the Liao army in the city didn't know that only Tian Hujun was bluffing outside the city, and even if he knew, Emperor Tianzuo would not really ask the Liao army inside to attack. He bluffed at the south gate, attracting the attention of the enemy troops outside the city, and then retreated and waited for the good news that Yelu had seen.
Lu Qian has been handling official business in the camp from beginning to end, and the land of Hebei is too chaotic, there are many bandits in the local area, the local armed forces are disorderly, and there are many local governors who abandon their official positions and abscond. Zong Ze wrote to him, requesting a pardon for the Hebei rebellion and exempting them from taxation and forced labor for one year.
The latter is normal, Lu Qian has already ordered it, but now it is just a matter of going through the procedure. The Liangshan army has now completely occupied the land of Hebei and the two roads, and this will to reduce taxes and forced labor can be issued.
But what about the former? Lu Qian was about to mutter.
It should be said that the bandits in Hebei are closely related to Zhao Song's policies this year. When Shandong was occupied, Jiangnan changed, and Huainan was the fat meat in the mouth of the Liangshan army, and even Gyeonggi could not be stable. In this way, it can only be exploited by Hebei.
Because Hebei at this time, whether it is commerce, handicrafts or agriculture, is far better than the north and south of Jinghu Lake, and it is a rich land. But no matter how rich Hebei is, the consequence of being oppressed and exploited by the government can only be to bankrupt the masses of the people. Because the corrupt officials all over the officialdom will double the money and grain taxes ordered by the superiors.
The Zhao and Song Dynasty courts received an extra tael of silver, and the people might have to pay three taels or five taels. Being forced to become a thief is also the sin of the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts and those corrupt officials. But this pot can't be carried by Liang Shanjun, right?
Don't think that the honest people who were 'forced to go to Liangshan' are still the honest people who used to be honest, who hasn't experienced a fierce psychological struggle? Those who dare to take risks will not be able to hook up with honest people.
These people are bandits, not to say that there will be two, but cats who have seen blood, how can they not steal fish?
One of the major factors that distinguish veterans from rookies in the military is whether their men see blood. Even if these people were ordinary people earlier, they are now murderers and looters. Even if you put on the people's clothes again and become a common people, the essence of the heart will not change.
How could the term 'battlefield syndrome' come to be born in the future?
You know, war is always painful. In today's era, there is no such thing as a casualty war, even if bandits loot towns and villages, they can be killed by the people who resist, and even the most withdrawn beast has its own companions, joys and sorrows.
It can be said that as long as you go to the "battlefield", pick up a knife, and kill people, you are destined to have countless negative emotions rushing in, such as nervousness, frustration, excitement, anger, sadness, pain, happiness, tiredness, and so on.
Killing people to the point of being accustomed to killing is a terrible thing to see. Imagine those who kill people like a thief in the daily life of ordinary people, will they regard the lives of their neighbors and villagers as equals? These people are time bombs, naturally they can't make a big deal, but they are enough to make Lu Qian unhappy.
"The king, this is ......" Xu Guanzhong read the review and was very puzzled. This Liangshan army rules Hebei, it's like changing the emperor and changing the sky, shouldn't everyone be amnesty for the world? Why is it only allowed for the latter and rejected for the former?
"The Zhao family is harsh to the people, and their generation has become thieves, and their feelings are pitiful, but they kill people and goods, and they have a lot of blood debts, and their sins are unforgivable. It is difficult for those who are accustomed to bandits to obey obediently with just one edict, even if they bow their heads under the general trend, they are only forced to do so. Lu Qian looked at the map of the two roads in Hebei, and said thoughtfully: "I want to teach the military horses to kill a few famous people first, and teach them to know how powerful." In such an edict, this time can be called the bandits to tie their hands to the people. "In a word, it is to kill those bandits to the point of fear first, and then give them life, so that people can be obedient.
These bandits lived happily earlier, and as long as the huge Hebei Province did not touch a few sensitive places, it could be said that life was comfortable. And the people who have been plagued by them in their 'free' days deserve to die in vain?
Of course, he is not Mr. Morality. This is only done to better govern Hebei. Xu Guanzhong agrees very much, the first thing that the court has changed is to give amnesty to the world, and the old Zhao family has given amnesty to the world too many times, and he has formed a subconscious meaning. Listening to Lu Qian's words now, it is even more reasonable.
"Tell Tian Hu to collect his troops. Emperor Tianzuo is a soft egg, and the Liao soldiers will not go out of the city. Commanded, slaughter sheep and slaughter cattle, congratulations today! Lu Qian said to Le He.
Although the news has not yet returned, he is really confident. In order to trap the Liao army, Lu Qian scattered Xiao Wan five steps this time, and he couldn't destroy the Liao army's surprise soldiers, and Hua Rong didn't have to come back to see him.
Then ask someone to summon Ma Zhi, who changed back to his real name, after the battle of Tong Guan's destruction, he has always followed Lu Qian's side, as well as Huang Qianshan, so with Xu Guanzhong and Lu Qian, the four of them are together.
The sound of mahjong is very pleasant, as early as Liangshanbo he invented the mahjong and poker of later generations. There is nothing difficult about it, even if the poker cards are far from being compared with the later generations, but the role of poker is not to look good but to play, right?
Compared with mahjong, which is not small and more valuable, poker is obviously more loved by soldiers. These two games were soon introduced to the folk of Huainan, Shandong. In this Northern Song Dynasty, when the whole people loved Bo Opera, these two things were naturally in line with Bo Opera. Recently, it was popular in Qilu and Jianghuai.
Lu Qian originally liked to play poker, but he didn't feel anything about fighting the landlord, and eighty points was his favorite. And there is a lack of entertainment in the army, so you can't play football every day, and you can't play martial arts every day, right? But between playing mahjong and playing cards, he chose the former. Because he felt that he was a big king and led a few close ministers to play poker together, which was quite embarrassing.
Although playing mahjong in the army is also not a proper job. Compared to playing chess, it seems to be much more forced. But Lu Qian didn't know how to play, but now that he has learned it, he subconsciously doesn't like chess.
But Xu Guanzhong, Ma Zhi, and Huang Qianshan would not underestimate Lu Qian because of this, because Lu Qian is very restrained, and this kind of mahjong is like watching a football game in the army, which is an occasional relaxation.
There are no singers in the Liangshan army, let alone capturing people's girls. This mahjong is relaxation, and several people know better that Lu Qian pulls people to play mahjong when he is in his hands, or when the war is about to be won......
Naturally, they knew about today's fight and looked at each other. It seems that this king is full of confidence.
Lu Qian didn't care about the other three looking at each other, at this time he was alarmed by a series of system prompts. Lu Qian looked intently, and changes were taking place in the system bar!
Experience and glory are all on the rise.
