Chapter 65: Coming to Tong'an Town Again

Wen Han paused and laughed at himself: "I don't want to win your sympathy or anything else by saying this today, but to tell you that there are many things in this world that we can't control, and the world is like this, if you want to live, you must learn to bear it." Compared to me, you are luckier than me, at least you know who your enemy is now, but I don't even know my enemy now, and I don't know who to call for revenge. ”

Qin Zhen suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about changing this way of the world? ”

Wen Han sighed: "Why haven't you thought about it, when I was very young, I often heard my father shout that the world is unfair, the court is unfair, and I want to work hard to change this unfair world over the years, not only me, Wang Shengxiaowei, Guo Duwei, these people who have a conscience and do not want to go along with the same stream are fighting in their own way, but it is too difficult, our personal strength is too small compared to this invisible world rule, and it can't make waves at allI've often wondered all these years what the point of these things I'm sticking to? ”

Qin Zhen's eyes were firm: "The more difficult the road ahead, the more our generation should forge ahead!" ”

Wen Han was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "If you have a firm mind, I am indeed inferior to you!" ”

Qin Zhen didn't speak again, Wen Han also tacitly didn't say anything, two smart people talked, just point to the end, everything still depends on their actual actions in the future.

Qin Zhen's injury recovered well, and after half a month, Qin Zhen was able to carry out some simple activities, and it was at this time that Guo Wei announced the appointment of the captain of Weizhou Zhichong Mansion.

Zhao Feilong was officially appointed from the acting lieutenant of the Leopard Tao Regiment to the lieutenant.

Qin Zhen was appointed captain of the Flying Eagle Regiment.

And Guo Wei gave Qin Zhen a lot of autonomy, not only allowed Qin Zhen to recruit troops independently in Weizhou, but also gave Qin Zhen the right to appoint his officers, and also tilted the Flying Eagle Regiment of Qin Town in terms of materials, and directly allocated a hundred war horses and cavalry armaments to the Flying Eagle Regiment of Qin Town, and a complete set of infantry weapons and armor were also allocated, but a large part of the armor was captured from the party, although it was a little nondescript mixed with the Han soldiers' armor, but after all, it was also regarded as having a full set of equipment. Guo Wei also gave Qin Zhen the food and salary materials according to the share of the full number of 200 people, without any deduction, although Qin Zhen is still a bare-bones captain, Qin Zhen knows that the materials in Weizhou Zhichong Mansion are not rich now, and it can even be said to be very barren, which makes Qin Zhen very grateful.

At the beginning, the sergeants who fought side by side with Qin Zhen from Tong'an Town all expressed their willingness to follow Qin Zhen, some of these people were originally cavalry under the command of the Leopard Tao Regiment, Guo Wei considered the identity of Qin Zhen outsiders, so he divided half into the Flying Eagle Regiment, and the other half was still under the construction of the Leopard Tao Regiment for the formation of the Leopard Tao Regiment cavalry.

Zhao Feihu also returned to the Leopard Tao Regiment, if according to Zhao Feihu's original intention, he didn't want to go back, and Qinzhen Meng Xuan and others fought side by side made him feel very happy, especially he admired Meng Xuan is now a five-body thrower, but Zhao Feilong is now taking over the Leopard Tao Regiment, Wen Han is gone, his subordinates are in urgent need of experienced and capable officers, as the saying goes, "Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers!" "Zhao Feihu can only go to the Leopard Tao Group to help his brother.

After everything was arranged, Qin Zhen took the people of the Flying Eagle Regiment to the outside of the city to pay tribute to Wang Sheng, Tang Tianhe and other sacrificed Weizhou Zhichongfu soldiers, they were all buried on the mountainside of a mountain in the northwest of Weizhou, it is said that the feng shui here is good, suitable for burial, the tomb bag is densely arranged on the mountainside, there is a wooden sign in front of each tomb bag, writing the name of the resting person below, in front of all the tomb bags, there is a stone tablet, which reads "Weizhou heroes rest here, here to commemorate!" Guo Wei stood up. ”

Life is also the same robe, death is the same hole!

Standing here, you can see Weizhou City very clearly, maybe another reason why Guo Wei buried them here is to let them always be able to see Weizhou that they protect with their lives.

After paying tribute to these martyrs, Xue Yuan and the others said goodbye and returned to their hometowns, and Qin Zhen also asked Guo Wei to resign, and took dozens of people from the Flying Eagle Regiment under his command to prepare to enter Tong'an Town.

From Weizhou City to Tong'an Town, on the seventy-mile road, Qin Zhen looked at it and was full of devastation, desolation and desolation.

Coming to Tong'an Town again, although the city wall is still so dilapidated and mottled, there are still many traces of burning in the city, but it has begun to be filled with the smell of fireworks, and a large number of people who have returned from Weizhou have begun to take root and live around Tong'an Town, which makes Qin Zhen sigh a little, the vitality of the people is fragile, and it is also tenacious.

For the arrival of Qin Zhen and others, the people of Tong'an Town did not pay much attention, what to do and what to do, Qin Zhen took everyone to the Chinese military tent in the barracks, looking at the empty room, the familiar high table and the desk, Qin Zhen was full of emotions.

Although there are too many things to do, but they are only dozens of people now, there is no way to spread out, so as soon as they arrived in Tong'an Town, Qin Zhen divided these subordinates who came with him into two groups, one wave is regarded as the official sergeant of the Flying Eagle Regiment, headed by Meng Xuan, and its members are mainly those who fought with Qin Zhen from Tong'an Town, and the other wave is temporarily listed as a logistics support team, headed by Han Wenzhi, Chaochuan Wu and the auxiliary soldiers led by him, Han Ruoyun, as well as Ma Shun, Ma Rui, Yan Yue and others are all included in the logistics support team.

Qin Zhen stood next to the high table in the barracks and said to everyone: "I am very grateful to everyone for their trust in me, to be able to follow me to Tong'an Town, I hope that through our joint efforts in Tong'an Town, Tong'an Town, this dilapidated silk artery, will be restored to its former prosperity." Now I will talk about my preliminary thoughts, from now on, all the wasteland belonging to Tong'an Town will be owned by the Flying Eagle Regiment of Zhichong Prefecture in Weizhou, as long as the farmers who come to Tong'an Town to open up the wasteland will be protected by the Flying Eagle Regiment, all the pioneers in Tong'an Town will be exempted from all taxes in the first year, and from the second year onwards, the tax per mu will be levied according to the number of acres of cultivated land, with a tax rate of ten taxes and one tax per year, and all farmers in Tong'an Town will no longer be subject to any other taxes except the tax per acre, and if one person in the family joins the army, the whole family can be exempted from taxes for five years. I don't know what everyone's opinion is? ”

Everyone didn't have much feeling about what Qin Zhen said about reproducing the prosperity of Tong'an Town in the past, it was just an official cliché, but Ma Xuan, Chen Luosheng, Yang Xiaoqi and others, who had been in the same Bulzhi Racecourse with Qin Zhen for three years, were all brightened in their eyes, they knew that what Qin Zhen said was not an official cliché, and these in Tong'an Town were just a corner of the ideal seeds in their hearts, and Qin Zhen was taking them to slowly approach their ideals and hopes in such a way, although now these seem to be far away from their ideals and hopes.

More people are concerned about what Qin Zhen said later, although people such as Han Wenzhi, Meng Xuan, Wen Han and others already knew that Qin Zhen wanted to change the current land annexation problem, but they didn't expect Qin Zhen to be so strong as soon as he came up.

After thinking for a while, Han Wenzhi said: "Isn't it too radical for us to directly return the wasteland of the Li and Wang families to the Flying Eagle Regiment, I am worried that it will cause a backlash from the Li and Wang families, I think we can slowly change it in a more gentle way." There is also the exemption from taxes for a year, and we have no income, how can we raise soldiers? Moreover, only one per mu tax of ten taxes will be levied, and there is no way to meet the tax target set by Weizhou City. ”

Qin Zhen said slowly: "I also understand that such radicalism can easily cause a backlash from those families, but we don't have time to change these in a more gentle way, every year there are an unknown number of people who die due to war, hunger, injury and disease, as well as the invasion and looting of the party, Weizhou can't afford to wait, and the people of Weizhou can't afford to wait." Since it touches the interests of those landlord families, whether it is radical or moderate, I think this contradiction is irreconcilable, in this case, why can't we be more radical? ”

Qin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Let's talk about the issue of taxation, although I haven't calculated it carefully, but I have roughly estimated that if all the wasteland in Tong'an Town is now turned into grain fields, our tax revenue in Tong'an Town alone will be almost close to the entire Weizhou, and now a large number of people have lost their land, but the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are rampant, in addition to making the already poor and unbearable people even more overwhelmed, and those big landlord families have benefited, the government has not received more money, grain and materials, and everyone has also seen the current situation in Weizhou, Although we will face a lot of difficulties in the short term, when the people are relieved, our Flying Eagle Regiment and even Weizhou Zhichong Mansion will definitely go to a big level. ”

"I agree with Captain Qin's decision!" A clear voice sounded, but I didn't expect that the first person to speak out in support of Qin Zhen was Han Ruoyun.

In the face of Meng Xuan and Wen Han, Han Ruoyun did not have any stage fright: "Emperor Taizong once said, 'Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat.'" 'As far as we in Tong'an Town are concerned, the people of our Flying Eagle Regiment are boats, and the people of Tong'an are water, and now the water in Tong'an Town is almost dry, even if our boat is strong and luxurious, how long can our boat travel? I think this decision of Captain Qin is very wise, he is equivalent to introducing living water into the big lake of Tong'an Town, and when the water reaches a certain height, it can support our boat to sail away. ”

Not only Qin Zhen was stunned, but all the people at the scene were stunned, and everyone didn't expect that Han Ruoyun, a female streamer, would have such knowledge.

Although Qin Zhen knew that Han Ruoyun had misinterpreted the meaning of the phrase 'water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat', the meaning of Han Ruoyun's distorted interpretation turned out to be incomparably consistent here, and Qin Zhen didn't explain it for a long time, making Han Ruoyun's sentence simple and clear.
