When He Decai repeated Jiang Feng's words to Cao Wanchuan, the Marquis of Gushijun, Cao Wanchuan's face suddenly became serious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The reason why Jiang Feng pinned his hopes on this Marquis Yu of the Gushi Army was because this was the only Marquis of Duyu in the entire Gwangju Army who was not surnamed Xu, and it was also the only Marquis of Duyu who was not from a wang family, and he was a military general who fought in the battle between the Gwangju Army and the Shenzhou Army with his own strength.

"You said that you infiltrated Ruluo to find out about the situation of the thief army, why didn't you report it to Lord Thorn Shi?"

"Lord Yuhou, I think you also know the gap between me and Xu Ziming, believe it or not, once the ant thieves return east, our Gwangju will definitely be in trouble. ”

Jiang Feng was too lazy to say much, he believed that Cao Wanchuan should know about those tricks in the Assassin's Mansion, Cao Wanchuan had only been assigned from the command of the Ya Army to the Gushi Army as the Marquis of Yu for a few months.

Cao Wanchuan was silent, and Jiang Feng's words made him feel a great pressure.

In fact, he has long been aware of the danger brought by the rise of the yellow ant thief, but the head of the family is obsessed with the plan to join forces with the Nanyang Liu clan and the Caizhou Yuan clan to annex Shenzhou.

It's just that the situation is so grim now, if it doesn't get it right, it will be a disaster to destroy the family and the clan, and he can't sit idly by.

"What can we do now, is it useful?" Cao Wanchuan's face changed uncertainly, and he asked after a long time.

"I don't know, but I know we're going to end up if we don't do anything, but if we do, maybe there's a glimmer of hope. Jiang Feng's face was not very good.

"A glimmer of hope?" Cao Wanchuan sighed gloomily, "You underestimate those ant thieves too much, fifty years ago, Huang Chao led the ant thieves to take advantage of the chaos, and the Tang Dynasty destroyed the country! If, as you said, the number of ant thieves has reached tens of thousands, what can we do with our small Gushi army?"

"Lord Yuhou, although there are a large number of ant thieves, they are not subordinate, there is no unified leadership, and the combat effectiveness is also very poor, we don't expect to defeat them, we just hope to avoid Gwangju being destroyed by them. ”

Jiang Feng's words were also a little unnatural, as far as he knew, this was the situation of the Ant Army in the past, but now it is different.

"Without unified leadership, how can they develop and grow in Ruluo? Jiang Feng, you don't need to hide anything, we are now grasshoppers tied to a rope, I hope we can take advantage of the time when the thief army has not yet returned east to do something useful. Cao Wanchuan didn't realize the unfinished meaning in Jiang Feng's words, sighed, and said lightly: "Decai, the commander of the middle battalion is vacant, you temporarily act as the commander of the middle battalion, and Jiang Feng will act as the commander of the rear battalion." ”

The chaotic flow of people was bustling, and they were rushing towards the county seat, and Cao Wanchuan and Jiang Feng stood on the city wall, with bitter expressions.

"Lord Yuhou, as soon as this news came out, the people immediately responded in groups. ”

"Erlang, have you ever experienced the Huangchao Rebellion, this was once the hardest hit area of the Huangchao Rebellion, thousands of miles of red land, white bones in the wilderness, fortunately, in the past few decades without war can be regarded as barely recovering, most of the older generation has experienced that disaster, most of their children have also heard the older generation tell about the tragedies of the year, and now they can hear the ant thieves rise again, who of these people dare not believe it?" Cao Wanchuan shook his head, "I don't know if they came to this Gushi City is a curse or a blessing." ”

"Lord Yuhou, if everyone is afraid of ant thieves like tigers, why are there so many followers? When the ant thieves entered Ruluo, there were less than 50,000 people, but when I left Song County, the number of ant thieves was at least 80,000, and they were able to entangle more than 30,000 people in just one or twenty days, what is the reason for this?" Jiang Feng said disapprovingly.

Cao Wanchuan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Most of the thieves are landless vagrants and scoundrels who don't do anything, trying to take advantage of the war to get something for nothing. ”

"Then why are there so many landless displaced people?" Jiang Feng asked after him.

This question is a bit profound, so that Cao Wanchuan can't answer.

Without him, the land would be occupied by the wealthy and noble, and the peasants would have to bear the poll tax, the land rent would not be less, and they would also have to bear the labor force. Jiang Feng asked himself, "Wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows, this is the soil for ant thieves to survive." ”

Cao Wanchuan obviously couldn't understand the truth contained in Jiang Feng's words for a while, and he was stunned for a long time before he said: "Then why didn't Taizong and Xuanzong have such a disaster in their eras?"

"In the era of Taizong and Xuanzong, the two Jin Dynasty and the five chaos brought about by the chaos, resulting in a large decrease in population, the rent regulation can still be implemented, the country can have a large amount of land for granting land, but the population is increasing in the later period, the land is insufficient, and even the mouth of the land has begun to be freely traded, the land is occupied by the wealthy families, and most of the land that can be newly reclaimed lives between the mountains, forests and rivers, the road is not passable, the miasma is rampant, and there is no one to live, who wants to go there? The country has no land to grant, the rent regulation naturally collapses, most of the peasants have become strong tenant farmers, in ordinary years can barely make a living, once in the event of floods and droughts, tenant farmers have no way to make a living, only to become displaced people and then degenerate into bandits, the Huangchao Rebellion will arise because of this. ”

Jiang Feng said casually.

As a graduate of the Department of History, these truths that have long been analyzed and summarized by historians as the most common are naturally nothing new to him, but they are deafening to Cao Wanchuan's ears!

Although Cao Wanchuan knew that Jiang Feng was a figure in the scout team before, he was able to analyze the root cause of the ant thief incident so thoroughly and incisively, instead of passing by as perfunctory as the official Diao people made trouble, how could this not make Cao Wanchuan feel shocked, and his gaze at Jiang Feng changed a lot all of a sudden.

"Erlang, according to what you say, isn't this dead knot always unresolved?" Cao Wanchuan said after thinking for a long time, at this time Cao Wanchuan already had an inexplicable awe of Jiang Feng's profound knowledge.

War is the best solution, because the death caused by war can greatly reduce the population, and the change of victory or defeat can subvert the traditional wealthy families and allow all wealth, including land, to be redistributed, and foreign war can open up territory, get more land to be cultivated, meet people's needs, and allow the new system to continue, and when everything is returned to its original point, everything will happen again, and the cycle will start again. ”

Jiang Feng said that this theory also sounds reasonable, and it seems that the decline and fall of all dynasties is also proving the truth of this principle, as for the development of productive forces, the liberation of the peasants from the land and the transformation of the industrial class, Jiang Feng did not dare to talk nonsense, and it is estimated that no one understands it.
