Chapter 487: There is no regret medicine in the world
Liu Xian actually has no ill feelings towards North Korea at the moment. Although in his previous life, South Korea was so disgusting and ridiculous to him. But at this time, North Korea made him hateful.
It's a very complicated affair. Seeing that the 'No. 1 country in the universe' in his previous life must be crawling at his feet like a dog, and emotionally he must have a loyalty far higher than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Liu Xian was very happy in his heart.
It's like a very Q method of spiritual victory. Aren't you awesome? Confucius is your country, the first great country in the universe, 'I'm going to go to outer space to see, what else belongs to our Smecta!! ’
What now?
It's a pug that pleases Lao Tzu. I'm annoyed, I can slaughter you and eat dog meat at any time! This heart is very comfortable and comfortable. Although the DPRK has not yet fallen to its knees at its feet!
But Mr. Liu has no worries about North Korea. In his mind, North Korea is a harmless waste scumbag, and there is no threat to even one-tenth of the little devils. Liu Xian has always seen the current situation of Little Japan in his heart, and the Restoration government in Tokyo is not convinced!
It's just that the top priority at the moment is to solve the Manchu Qing first. As for Little Japan, the bricks they had prepared for them had already been prepared. It's just that it's not the time to have a seizure yet!
……
Just when the Qin army marched across the sea to the north, the Qin troops on land were not slow to attack the city and plunder the land. Qi Dalin has led his troops + into Puyang, Henan, and the next target is Handan, which is directly under him. At the same time, the troops in Shandong are also rapidly sweeping towards the northwest of Shandong.
Wangtian Town is a small town outside Kaifeng.
A group of Qin soldiers had just passed outside the town, and Wangtian Town, which was originally quiet like a ghost town, quickly became lively.
The landlord of the town, the Wang family.
Wang Jin reprimanded her mother-in-law with a reprimanded face, "I told you." The Qin army is strictly disciplined, and the one in Nanjing will be the true dragon son who will sit in the world in the future. You mother-in-law just muttering bad things......"
The old ideas in Wang Jin's head are still deep-rooted. The army came from outside the town, and as the landlord of the town, he had to entertain him. At the very least, they should send some grain, rice, pigs, and sheep to the army, and prepare a portion of silver. Gift out of the country! In order to live in peace, the army should not disturb the people, plunder, or even kill people, commit adultery, or commit adultery.
However, his wife regarded the Qin army as a Qing army, and only let the subordinates show their heads, so as not to be detained by the soldiers, and the Wang family would have to bleed for a while. There are lessons to be learned from the past.
In the past two years, the weather has not been good, and there has been chaos, and the Wang family is not as spacious as before. It had already hurt his vitality a moment ago. If you do it again this time, the Wang family will fall in the middle of the road.
In fact, Wang Jin was also beating a drum in his heart at that time, and he shrank his head when he was stopped by his wife.
As a result, the Qin army was strictly disciplined, not to mention disturbing the people and plundering, even the rewards sent by Wangtian Town were not taken at all. Only a few old people in the town praised him as Wang Shi, and Wang Jin immediately straightened his chest and trained his wife. In fact, I felt that I had lost money in my heart, and I let my subordinates come out and lose face.
Wang didn't care about her husband's reprimand at all. After decades of living, she knows what kind of temper her husband is. It seems to be angry now, but in fact there is nothing at all. The Wang family has a small business, and she is not willing to take a little risk.
"Sir. Sir, it's not good......"
The housekeeper of the Wang family sprinted into the courtyard at this time.
Wang Jin, who was still moving his mouth, and his wife were shocked at the same time, "Is it ......?"
"The soldiers are back?" Wang asked first.
"Nope. No. The butler gasped and replied.
The Wang couple immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But as the butler said next, the hearts of the two rose again. Wait until the butler finishes speaking. Wang Jin's face turned red, and his body trembled as if he was swinging. "This. Isn't this robbing the rich and giving to the poor? ”
"What you say is true?" Wang's voice was also trembling.
"It's true, Li Xiucai read it in person in the village. The land rent of the tenant shall not exceed 50%, and the agricultural tax shall be 20 tax for the gateway of less than 100 acres, 1 tax for 15 between 100 mu and 1,000 mu, and 10 tax for more than 1,000 mu. ”
"The heaven-damned Qin army, the heaven-damned Qin army, this is ripping my flesh...... Ah......" Squatting on the chair, Wang opened his throat and scolded with a crying voice.
"Shut up, you mother-in-law, you want to kill the whole family." Wang Jin was still shaking, but when he heard his wife's words, he quickly rushed forward and covered Wang's mouth......
Liu Xian did not force restrictions on land annexation, he did not want China to become the same as in his previous life - 70 percent, 80 or even 90 percent of the country's agricultural population [before development], one after another 'small peasant economy'!
Liu also hopes that in a hundred years from now, farmers will become the high-income group in China. So he doesn't restrict land annexation. Because Liu Xian's eyes are on Central Asia and the South Seas, there are countless fertile soil waiting for the Chinese people to cultivate. In this way, why should China restrict land annexation?
What he wants to see is that ten or twenty years later, farms of different sizes will appear on the land of China.
So for the landlord, he just cut the meat, not the roots.
Think of it as the sacrifice of agriculture for industry.
He did not need to use the land to tie up many peasants, and the landless peasants would become an indispensable part of China's industrialization process. Moreover, another reason for Liu Xian to introduce this policy was to disintegrate the local clan forces.
If there is more than 1,000 acres of land, the agricultural tax is one-tenth, which is more than twice the minimum amount. Liu Xian did not think that many small landlords could endure such a big loss, and they would definitely disperse the land under the names of the children of the whole family. In this way, the foundation of the clan is destroyed.
Many of China's landlord families are inseparable. Even if the family is separated, the partial house that is divided can only get a small amount of property. After all, no matter how big the belongings are, if they are divided into two times at a time, and if they are all large pieces of chopped meat, they will also become countless small rich peasant classes. In this way, the foundation of the family does not exist.
Now Liu Xian is forcing the small landlord class to collapse. The main component of the clans in rural China was the small landlord class. Those families who really own thousands of acres of fertile land, or even more, are already gentry families.
But it is easy to divide the benefits of this thing, but it will be very difficult to get together again in the future. No one will spit out the fat that gets in their mouth! In the land law officially promulgated by the Qin army last year, the legal text clearly stipulates that the land in whose name is considered to belong to whoever owns it, and it belongs to the regular private property protected by the national law.
With this pole inserted, it can almost disintegrate the clan power in the countryside.
What Liu Xian wanted to establish was a strong government, and it was absolutely impossible for the Ming and Qing dynasties to allow the local clan power to expand without going to the countryside, and it was harmful to the development of the social structure of Great Qin.
In Wangtian Town, it didn't take long for the Qin Army Township Government to be stationed. When the government went to the countryside, it even stretched its hand into the village level, and the collision between the power of the government and the traditional clan power gave birth to many joys and sorrows. But it is also a portrayal of China's townships and towns in the next ten years or even longer. But that's all for later.
After a few days of sailing, the Qin army had gathered on the Bohai Sea. Caofeidian is the place where the Qin army is stationed, and the water depth of the front edge of Diantou here reaches 20~30 meters for about one mile, which is the natural deep-water port site in Bohai Bay. It is 120 kilometers away from Tianjin and 80 kilometers away from Tangshan. Although it is still just a series of small fishing villages, and there is no grandeur of the later development zone at all, it is really suitable as a foothold for the Qin army.
The arrival of countless ships and the arrival of groups of soldiers made the entire Caofeidian shrouded in fear. Most of the people here make a living from fishing, and the biggest problem every day is how to make a little more money, and they don't know what the family and country are doing. For them, the biggest thing in the world is to make money to fill their stomachs.
In such a place, tens of thousands of horses landed at once, and the horror can be imagined.
"Your Majesty, this is the defense layout of the multi-army in Jinmen. Compared with the Huai Army's explanation, the Dagu Fort and the Beitang Fort have not changed much. Mainly became a land defense.
Duolonga personally sat in Tianjin and gathered more than 50,000 troops from multiple armies and the Eight Banners New Army. And behind Tianjin, there are also a lot of 30,000 reinforcements. ”
Liu Xian had not yet disembarked from the ship, and the spy of the Tianjin Station of the Military Intelligence Department, who had been waiting in Caofeidian, came to the ship by himself with the defense map of Tianjin. Liu Xian listened quietly to the spy with his ears, and compared with what he saw on the virtual map, there were almost no mistakes in the defense map obtained by Tianjin Station. Even if there is an error, the map is not accurate, and the distance of three and a half miles becomes three miles and three or four. Military fortifications such as fortifications and trenches and pillboxes are not bad at all.
The people at Tianjin Station are also very sure. When the spy was asked by Liu Xian whether it was reliable and accurate, he directly vouched for his own head.
Liu Xian also got an urgent report from Zhangjiakou Station, just when the Qin army was raising supplies and troops, mobilizing and leasing merchant ships, and preparing to attack across the sea, Inner Mongolia was also forming a troop force, and one of the cavalry teams had been transferred to Beijing by order of the Qing court.
Now there is a tense atmosphere in the entire Jinjing area.
……
"Boom, boom—"
The cannons roared, the bullets fell and screamed again and again, and several steamers of the Dagu saliva division who came out to reconnoiter had either raised white flags or floated on the water as coffins. The Qin army also dispatched gunboats, but professional gunboats dealt with the Qing army, which were converted from cargo ships and steamships, and they absolutely had an overwhelming force advantage in the artillery battle.
Several warships pounced directly on the sea off the Dagukou Fort.
The warship did not fire, and the battery did not fire.
Duolonga held up the binoculars and looked at the battleship with red flags flying on the sea, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. A small person who bowed his head to himself back then is still an unshakable behemoth.
Pity. I didn't see that this was a traitor who devoured the master, and I didn't dare to cut it off with one sword, and I didn't have today's disaster! (To be continued......) R1292
