All day, Shouyang County was so calm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But just when the people who had set up a stall for a day and walked around for a day were about to go home, there was a drastic change in Shouyang County.

An army appeared here without warning and occupied the entire county town of Shouyang.

Without even giving these people and traders much time to think, the entire county town was lost.

At this moment, the whole county is even more panicked, and those people whose homes are outside the city don't know what to do.

At the same time, I secretly blamed myself in my heart, why didn't I leave earlier?

Looking at the current scene, I'm afraid it's not so easy to leave the county, right?

The people are afraid of soldiers, this is a 'custom' that has existed since ancient times, although the Qing government has strict control in this regard, but after all, the mountain here is high and the emperor is far away, unless it is the arrival of the imperial Shi Qin, otherwise, what will the following people do?

A group of patrolling soldiers walked through the streets, their eyes that could kill people kept sweeping over them, and those people who had never seen the world were even more frightened and retreated.

Some of the young children even howled and cried because they were frightened by this huge formation.

"Hurry home in the city, the whole city curfew starts tonight until the next hour of tomorrow, no one is allowed to leave home, if there is a search by officers and soldiers, you must fully cooperate, if there is resistance, there will be no mercy! At one hour tomorrow, every household in the city must send one person to the West Market, and the Han army will announce the new precepts.

People who live outside the city can go to the nearest city gate and wait to leave the city. On the street, a soldier shouted loudly, and soon, this sound spread throughout Shouyang County.

At this time, it has reached four o'clock in the unitary hour, and it is only half an hour before the curfew time, but fortunately, Shouyang County is not too big, and it is still possible to rush back if you go home in half an hour, and the pace is still a little farther away.

And as this sound spread, the people who were originally stunned and didn't dare to move also moved.

At first, there were only a few, but after seeing that the patrolling soldiers did not stop them, the rest of the people left the street in fear, and hurried along the side of the road in the direction of their homes.

And more people rushed in the direction of the four city gates.

Who can live in the county town and still buy things outside until this time? At this time, most of the people on the streets were people from outside the city.

Although the Han army did not prevent these people from leaving Shouyang County, they also arranged a company of troops at each of the four city gates, and all the people who left the city needed to be searched and checked.

And the name of the Han army, this is also the first time that it has been introduced to the county seat of Shouyang, and the people here don't know whose army the Han army is?

"They're not rebels, are they? Otherwise, how could they attack the county seat? One of the people whispered, and several people around him agreed.

In these years, if they are official soldiers, then they still need to attack the county seat? Didn't Chen Wei, the commander of Shouyang County, still have to go out of the city for three miles to welcome the arrival of the army?

"Well, how is that good?" An old man said depressedly.

The rebels did not have any effect on them at all, and even the rebels did not massacre the people after the siege, they only killed the officials.

After all, the people are the foundation of the city, once the people are killed, what is the use of this empty city?

But they can't explain it to the court? From the rebels, just to survive?

Maybe for the people, this is just a last resort, but for the imperial court, it is unavoidable.

And once one day, after the arrival of the imperial army, these rebels have lost the battle, if nothing else, the official army will slaughter the city.

Wasn't that the rebellion in the South decades ago? Those big cities are better, and the officials and soldiers don't dare to go too far, but they pity some small counties with sparse populations. The imperial court did not use the people there to establish authority.

And the Han army announced that they would promulgate the new law tomorrow, although they were forced to accept it, but once they accepted it, it was equivalent to accepting the rebels, and they would be punished as rebels.

"In my opinion, it's better to run away, although it's a little bitter now, but you can always save your life, right?"

"I'll tell you, your news is too backward, aren't you? I haven't even heard of the Han army? A middle-aged man who looked like a businessman joined the circle and said with a disdainful expression.

"This gentleman, have you ever heard of the name of the Han Army?" Everyone asked.

"Of course I've heard of it, and I've not only heard of it, but I've also made a deal with the Han Army. You all know about Gengzi Nian, right? Do you know who defeated the foreigners back then? The merchant asked, seeing that everyone shook their heads in confusion, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, they would definitely ask, isn't it defeated? How did this win?

"It was the Han army, the Han army was small at the beginning, but it made the foreigners suffer a lot, and even took Kyoto back from the hands of the foreigners, and the thousands of foreign soldiers stationed in Kyoto were also annihilated. Last year, Shengjing fought a war with Japan, have you heard? The merchant continued.

"I've heard of this, but then it didn't follow, and I don't know if I won or lost."

"Of course, if we win, there is no follow-up, doesn't this mean that foreigners don't have the confidence to ask us for benefits again? And not only that, I even heard that the Han army directly removed the Japanese reparations from the Gengzi indemnity. At this, the merchant paused slightly, looked around from side to side, and when he saw that there was no one, he said vigilantly:

"Fellow villagers, I advise you, don't think about resisting the Han army, the Han army is not those Qing troops, and they won't do anything to bully the people. In addition, I would like to remind you that after hearing about it, it is good to treat it as if it never happened, and do not spread it. The merchant's words attracted the attention of the people for a week, and when they saw the merchant's solemn face, as if he was going to say something big, the people around him also nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the merchant continued to speak: "This current court has long existed in name only, and this major event in the world is all the final say of the Han army. You have never been to Zhili, Gyeonggi, Shengjing, Henan, Shandong and other places under the jurisdiction of the Han army, to be honest, the life of the people there is called the real life, much better than ours here. ”

"This ...... How is this possible? Could it be that the Han army didn't collect a penny of taxes from them? "A group of people was a little unconvinced.

If you want to say which point is the best in the Qing Dynasty, then even the people have to give a thumbs up, that is, in the Qing Dynasty, the people did not need to pay taxes.

Before the Qing Dynasty, the people of every dynasty had to pay taxes.

The word tax is so bad that many people mistakenly think that it is a general term for taxes for the people, but in fact they are two different types of taxes.

There is no tax much, but this money is what every citizen needs to pay, and this money will not flow into the treasury, but into the royal private treasury, this money for the royal daily expenses, such as building a palace, the emperor wants to reward the minister on a whim, these are all spent from the royal small treasury.

In the Qing Dynasty, although the people were no longer taxed, the Zongren Mansion was still a small treasury of the Qing court. So where does this money come from? Very simply, all the taxes paid by the Manchurians in the country were partly handed over to the military department and partly to the Zongren government.

As for the ordinary Han people, they only need to pay taxes, and this tax has to flow into the treasury.

Although the Qing court's policy was very good, and it seemed that the amount of taxes collected was reduced, in fact, the amount of money that should have been collected was not less than a dime. But the people don't care about this, they just know that there are fewer items to pay, and that's enough.

And this move is also a crucial step for the Qing court to stabilize the world.

"Of course not, the tax cannot be less, but the Han army is engaged in large-scale development there, and almost half of the families can find work, and the wages are not low. It is estimated that the people in the few places under the jurisdiction of the Han army have already paid almost the taxes assessed by the imperial court. The merchant shook his head and walked away from the crowd.

He is just a passing businessman, he doesn't have much worry about the Han army's siege, anyway, he knows very well that as long as he cooperates and does not resist, the Han army will not move him.

And those businessmen who knew the policies of the Han army well, they were much calmer than those ordinary people at this time.

Even, many businessmen hope that the Han army can unify the world, after all, in the jurisdiction of the Han army, their business can compete normally, and there will be no situation where the other party competes but is suppressed by the government.

For this alone, the Han army won the approval of almost all the merchants who did business in the Han army's jurisdiction.

In the Yanei of Shouyang County, Wu Yang appeared here with his guards.

For the complete occupation of the strategic place of Shouyang in less than an hour, Wu Yang is still very satisfied.

However, Wu Yang didn't plan to stay here, he just came to see the situation, and then he would leave the city and return to the barracks. The officers of the Han army have never left their soldiers to enjoy the happiness alone, and there has never been such a case.

Looking at Chen Wei, the arrested Shouyang County Commander, Wu Yang was also a little disgusted for a while, and copied out more than 200,000 taels of silver, as well as a lot of gold and silver jewelry, a small county order, where did he get so much money if he didn't embezzle?

Therefore, Wu Yang's decision was to conduct a public trial of Chen Wei, and then directly cut the matter.

'Boom! Boom! Boom! ’

Before Wu Yang officially pronounced the death sentence on Chen Wei, the drum of grievances outside the county government rang out. For this kind of drumming, almost all Chinese people are no strangers, and Wu Yang also heard that this is the sound of the drum.

secretly said in his heart, does anyone want to find Han Jun to avenge his grievances at this time? But it's not bad, it just gave Wu Yang a chance to lay the butcher's knife.

"Report to the army commander, there is a woman outside the county government who said that she has grievances to state!" A soldier ran in from the gate of the county government and reported.

ps: The third watch has arrived, all kinds of requests! Is there a wood to keep me? If you have it, hurry up.,It's estimated that I won't be able to support it later.。。。 (To be continued.) )
