Chapter 14 The most loving landlord in his life

"Huh, people say that sleeping until you wake up naturally, counting money and counting cramps are the two major pleasures in life, now it's good, the food in the granary I can't count in my life, but I sleep up but my back hurts and my legs cramps, it can be seen that fighting the landlord is really not a pleasure." Happy stretching his waist except for the Inner History Mansion.

In Xuyi City in mid-May, the weather at noon is already very hot, but the joy of strolling through the streets is leisurely, as if you don't feel the hot sun overhead.

Looking at the orderly streets, the smiles on the faces of the occasional passers-by, happy and relieved, the physical fatigue has also dissipated, and the sixteen days of hard work have not been in vain. Thinking of the solid Xuyi City now, it is already a world of difference from the one who just came, and the corners of the happy mouth can't help but show a happy smile, no wonder the landlord has swept the entire Chinese land.

For the ordinary people of Xuyi County, Xuyi Hou Zheng (Gao) is generous and benevolent, loves the people like a son, and is as amiable as a Bodhisattva; For those landlords who are powerful and occupy fertile land, Gao Changgong is tantamount to a bloodsucking devil, greedy and shameless, and especially hateful.

The loss of the land deed originally made those landlords and gentry excited, although they needed to pay some military carriage and horse fees, but in their opinion, it was just a lack of money for the inner history, which was normal, and it was just a drop in the bucket for the wealthy talkers.

When they first met, Gao Changgong's attitude was very gentle, with a smile on his face. However, after a few words of greeting, what shocked and angered everyone was that Gao Changgong did not hide it at all, and finally opened his bloody mouth to them naked, wanting to get back his own things, he needed to take out one-third of the money and grain worth these things in exchange, except for gold and silver, no other coins were taken.

In fact, Gao Changgong's rhetoric was very euphemistic and sincere, "The war is approaching, but Xuyi City is lax in armament, the treasury is empty, and it is difficult to resist Chen's army." Some time ago, the vulgar merchants in the city took the initiative to find me and donated some family funds to help Ben Hou resist the thieves, but that was only a drop in the bucket, far from enough. All of you are noble, and you are both the masters of Xuyi City, and the foundation is here, shouldn't you do more? If Xuyi City is broken, everything will come to naught! ”

What made the landlord most resentful was that Gao Changgong said that the wealthy merchants in the city had come to inquire that they wanted to donate some more money and grain, but there were many members of the family, and they still had to make ends meet.

Gao Changgong said to the landlords that time was pressing, and Xuyi City was really in a difficult situation, and in desperation, he had promised to sell his land and house after three days.

The system of agriculture, industry and commerce, the social system, the guidance of the ruling class, and the division of classes had a great impact on the values of the ancient people. Although countless businessmen have a lot of money and are rich enough to rival the country, they seem to have unlimited scenery, but in fact their status is extremely low, and few people can afford to look down on them, and they are more often the targets of the ruling class's oppression and attack, but they are just a tool to make money, a general commodity.

Therefore, in the old society, whether it was a businessman or an official, the first thing he did when he had spare money was to buy land, earn more money, buy more land, and so on, which caused the feudal society to have serious land annexation, once the living space of the peasants was compressed to the extreme, uprisings and wars would break out.

Landless landlords will lose their luxurious life, and they will lose their admirable and feared status, although they know that Gao Changgong's purpose is to oppress them, they can only obediently do what Gao Changgong wants.

Newton said: Everything has a habitual surname. I'm glad to say that history also has a habitual surname.

On the third day of May, Shiliang City was broken, four days later than the 29th day in history. Although he was happy to come to Shiliang's aid, kicked the wheel of history, saved the eldest grandson Hongluo, who should have died in that war, and did not completely annihilate the 40,000 Qi army, the eldest grandson Hongluo still did not overcome the fate of history and died at the foot of Shiliang City on May 3.

It is said that if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates. The tragedy of Wang Lin and the eldest grandson Hongluo is that they did not meet a god-like opponent, but they had a pig-like boss who was more terrible than their teammates.

On April 26, after a defeat, Wei Pohu was completely frightened, and after joining Wang Lin, he reorganized and contained the army, which was originally 40,000 Qi troops, but now there are only more than 25,000 people left, and there are only 22,000 people left with combat power. Because of Wei Pohu's self-defeating arrogance, more than 10,000 Northern Qi soldiers fell on the battlefield in a short period of time, and their deaths did not have the slightest positive significance.

The imperial court had an order, and Wei Pohu had to help Shiliang City again, but he was afraid of the battle and stationed more than 30 miles away from Shiliang City, not only did not actively cooperate with the Shiliang defenders to flank Chen's army, but was always ready to withdraw and escape, and watched Shiliang City fall into ruins little by little. On May 3, Wang Lin and the eldest grandson Hongluo jointly tied up Wei Pohu and led the army to attack, but it was too late.

Shiliang City was already overwhelmed, and was broken by Chen's army half an hour before Wang Lin arrived. With the city wall as a backing, the Qi army lacked siege weapons, and after the attack was fruitless, Wang Lin could only order the withdrawal of the army.

Wang Lin's failure to attack undoubtedly gave Wei Pohu a reason to play on the topic. Wang Lin has a good reputation in the army, loves soldiers with light money, has a superhuman memory, and he can call out the names of low-ranking officers in the whole army, and is deeply respected and loved by the soldiers. And so the infighting happened.

The more tragic is still to come, as the premier general of the Chen * country, Wu Mingche, a famous Chen general in the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, is extraordinary in courage and strategy, the Qi army first flinched, and then suddenly attacked, which was weird, and he decisively gave the order to pursue. The Chen * army, which was carrying the momentum of a great victory, met the demoralized Qi army, which was in internal strife and unprepared, and the outcome was self-evident.

Wei Pohu took off his armor and fled on horseback, but the poor eldest grandson Hongluo adhered to the duties of a soldier, died on the battlefield, and covered Wang Lin's retreat to Yangping County.

Shiliang City was broken, ** morale was stronger, on May 8, Waliang City was thrown to Chen * army, on May 11, Lujiang City was conquered by Chen Guo Nanqiao County Shou Xu Mao, May 12, North Qi Liyang County could not resist the fierce attack of **, surrendered to Chen, but waited for ** Governor Huang Fayan to slow down the attack and continue to defend. Huang Fayan was furious, stormed Liyang, the city was broken, and the defenders of Liyang were slaughtered. Huang Fayan then led the army to attack Hefei, and Hefei surrendered to Chen. At this point, the first line of defense of the Qi army along the Yangtze River was almost completely dispersed, and the army of Chen's army was pressed on all fronts.

Hundreds of people fled north with their families, and in the May weather, the crops in the fields that should have grown well were deserted and abandoned, and the sorrow was everywhere. It is rumored that Xuyi Hou Zheng Changgong is kind to accepting the homeless, and in just a dozen days, more than 100,000 homeless people have poured into Xuyi County, which has brought huge pressure to the happy father and son, and also made the happy busy without touching the ground.

Fortunately, in the summer, even if there is no house to live in, as long as there is something to eat, the displaced people can live. Young and strong, about 20,000 people went out to select and march into the army. Of the remaining 30,000 men, nearly 1,000 were selected who knew how to carpenter and blacksmith, and except for children under the age of ten, the others, young and old, were happily arranged in groups of ten, some of them were used to open up wasteland and build villages, and some were to repair the city walls and build water conservancy. As for the women and children, they were also arranged, but their work was to raise silkworms and weave cloth.

In his previous life, he was happy to take time travel as the ultimate ideal, and he had "The Secret of Eternal Life" by his side, and his memory was excellent, and it was easy to never forget it. With his guidance, Lu Ping was happy to improve the loom and manufacture the water-powered spinning wheel of the Yuan and Ming dynasties. Xuyi is backed by Huaishui, and the efficiency of weaving cloth with a large water-powered spinning wheel has been increased by dozens of times.

At the same time, Xingxing gathered more than 1,000 craftsmen, led by Lu Ping, began to produce wooden furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties on a large scale, which was sold by Ye Jin's caravan, among which the most exquisite and luxurious furniture was escorted by Gao Fu and presented to Gao Wei, the son of Wu Wu, through Han Changluan, one of the three nobles of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Gao Weitian's surname likes novelty and excitement, seeing that his cousin sent these things thousands of miles away, and Han Changluan, who had received benefits, said good things on the side, that was Longyan Dayue, and his vigilance against Gao Changgong was relaxed, and he also ordered Gao Changgong to reorganize his armaments and block Chen *'s army.

The chair, both in terms of beauty and comfort, is far more than the bed. In addition, the workmanship is fine and the price is high, and the rich dignitaries are all vying to buy it, so as to show the nobility of their status, which can make Gao Xing and Ye Jin happy.

After more than ten days of busyness, the preliminary work finally came to an end, and he was relieved to be happy, thinking that Ming was the appointment with Gao Changgong to take the test, and he wanted to go to the barracks to have a look. In the past ten days, in addition to taking turns to maintain order in the city, he has not abandoned the training of the army in strict accordance with the plan given by Xing.

In the distance, I heard the passionate shouts from the barracks, and I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on my face, and secretly praised in my heart that I would not give up.

Happy quickened his pace, and as soon as he entered the barracks, a stout black shadow stood in front of him, and he was stunned for a moment, and was wondering who was so bold as to dare to stop him, when an angry voice came from his ears.

"I'm glad, you've finally shown up, it's very good, hurry up and compare with General Ben!"

As soon as I heard it, I knew who this person was, and said with a smile: "General Xiao, I haven't seen you for a few days, why is the anger so big, can you still get used to living today?" ”

Xiao Maha snorted and said angrily, "What are you used to? Now I say that this general will defeat you, so that you can go home!" There was a hint of concern in his tone, in addition to anger and anxiety.

Xing Xing frowned, and asked in surprise: "Why is General Xiao so anxious, has he forgotten our agreement?" ”

Xiao Maha interrupted him impatiently and said, "Don't talk nonsense, today I will try to compete no matter what!" Xiao Maha was impetuous, his eyes widened angrily, and he immediately opened his posture.

When the soldiers who were training heard the movement here, they were a little absent-minded in training, and they made mistakes one after another, and they were so angry that they still didn't give up and roared angrily, and punished many people. As the saying goes, curiosity kills cats. Although they had already seen the martial arts of Joy once, they did not know how powerful Joy was, and no soldier wanted his commander to be a straw bag.

Happy smiled and said, "Okay, depending on you." When Xiao Maha heard this, he was about to attack under great joy, and his eyes glared at him happily, and he said, "What's the hurry?" After saying that, Xing Xing walked straight to the point of the stage.

"Stop!"

"See the general!" The soldiers stopped training under the order of not giving up, and wanted to salute happily.

Looking at the more than 1,000 soldiers in the audience with a happy smile, after a month of hard training, their momentum has become much calmer and more refined, and they already have the appearance of a military army.

"Soldiers, brothers, a month ago, I made a bet with Lord Hou here that the soldiers I trained in a month would be better than him. Ming, it's the time of the competition, you say, can we win? Happy yelled loudly.

"Victory, victory!" The sound is rolling, shaking the mountains and shaking the mountains, and the momentum of the rainbow rushes straight to the sky.

When the sound calmed down a bit, as soon as he raised his hand, all the voices disappeared, and he said loudly: "Today, I want to ask you brothers to be a witness, I am happy to compete with General Xiao Maha here, if I lose, then let him return, even if I am unfortunately killed, you must not hinder me in the slightest, if I win, then General Xiao Maha sincerely surrenders to me, and from now on I will break off with Chen Guo!" General Xiao, please! Happy looked at Xiao Maha sincerely and confidently, and made a gesture of please.

"Good!" Xiao Maha didn't say much, took a deep look at his happiness, and strode to Dianjiangtai.

"Beat the drums!" Shang Bu gave up a shout, "Dong Dong Dong", the dull and shocking drum sound of the cowhide drum sounded, the drum beat was dense, the rhythm was strong, igniting the blood in the hearts of the boys, the atmosphere of the war was slowly ignited, and all the soldiers stared intently at the opposite happiness and Xiao Maha on the stage.
