The Ming army besieging not many troops, but it was able to squeeze tens of thousands of Kurds into the center of the town.

The Kurds organized several powerful breakouts, each time exceeding five hundred people.

But these 500 people, as soon as they show their heads, they become targets for sniper rifles and MG43s.

Luckily gathered together, rushed to the street guys, and saw another tank head-on.

The 25-millimeter rapid-fire gun, when fired continuously, was simply devastating.

When the tanks stopped firing, the ground of the entire street was littered with shattered corpses.

As people were squeezed into the center of the town, the density of people began to increase.

The Ming army began to use howitzers to strike, and 120 mm howitzer shells fell, and broken bricks and rubble flew with flesh and blood.

A single shell can kill dozens, if not hundreds, of people.

No matter how firm people's faith is, those who are shocked to death when they see the mutilated corpses will no longer be so firm.

The battle lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon, and the Kurds finally could not bear it anymore.

Two bearded old men walked out with white flags, after a short negotiation. The Kurds came out in line, willing to be captured by the Ming.

"If the battle is carried out at night, the Ming army will definitely withdraw again. Hold the trench position! Stuarten swore by it.

"Give up the captured positions? Then retreat to the starting position, Stuarten, you're all right.

As long as you have a normal brain, you won't do that. ”

"What he said is true, the Ming army will do this. They won't let the army stay in the dark!

After withdrawing, the Kurds will at best restore their original positions.

Wait until tomorrow, and today's attack will be repeated again.

Anyway, the casualties of the Ming army were so small, and the Kurds had nothing to do. What if you do it again?

Moreover, every offense. The Kurds will suffer huge casualties, and after a few tug-of-wars, it is estimated that there are no Kurds left in the town.

The Kurds are a pile of meat in front of the Ming army. ”

Hulk looked helplessly at the Kurds who were coming out of Tikrit, these people had made the right choice.

Although the Ming army was cruel when attacking, it was still tolerant after the enemy laid down his arms.

At least, the Ming army rarely massacred civilians.

Unless, when the Ming army attacked, it paid a huge price.

Or, the people on the other side are all soldiers. Men, women, and children will attack the Ming people.

The Ming people seem to have had a pre-plan in advance, and the people who came out of Tikrit. According to men, women and children, it is divided into several large pieces.

Adult men, all forced by gun, squatting in the trenches.

There they had no food or drink, and could only squat helplessly.

Not too far away, Ming soldiers distributed food and water to the elderly, children and women.

The food is Daming's bread, one per person. There is not enough to eat, and there is not much.

The Swiss officer corps, walking inside a prisoner of war camp.

By the light of the torches and the moonlight, the defeated faces of the prisoners of war could be seen.

The women covered their whole bodies with black robes. The child was held in their arms, and the old man looked up at the sky, his eyes desperate and desolate.

"We have seen the tactics of today, and we will use them in Mosul in the future. The Ming army managed this method of warfare, which was called squeezing tactics. ”

Hulk said to the officers beside him as he walked.

"But we don't have tanks, we don't have an air force. Even more without sniper rifles these weapons! Stuarten said helplessly.

All the Swiss officers were helpless. The equipment that Da Ming has, they don't have at all.

It's like the weapons used by the Ming army today, and the Swiss army has almost nothing.

"The Ming army will support them with a batch of infantry artillery, I have seen it. It is man-made in Germany, small in size and light in weight.

Definitely better than a sniper rifle!

As for tanks and planes, we will ask the Ming army for help and try to get the Ming army to provide them.

Lads, we are about to face Mosul. The base camp of the Kurds, can they make a contribution?

It is up to you that the will of God may come upon the land of the heathen. ”

"General Hulk, when are we going to let the Ming people also become religious." A somewhat short officer, muttering in a low voice.

Hulk was stunned for a moment, but smiled helplessly and didn't speak.

How so?

It would be nice if the Ming people did not force them to give up their faith!

In the eyes of the Swiss or Europeans as a whole, the Ming people are a very strange group of people.

They do not believe in God or in the existence of God. What do they believe in?

It seems that I haven't heard of any gods that the Ming people believe in.

This is simply an incredible thing for Europeans. But for the Ming people, it is very normal.

Who wouldn't believe that there is a God in this world?

"God, how many divisions does he have? What we need is the excellent knowledge of mathematics, geometry, medicine, aesthetics, etc., who are rare in their God. ”

When Li Xiao saw the church in Xizhimen, he was angry.

With a cold face, he looked at Yin Sunxing of Shuntian Mansion who was accompanying him!

Sun Xing knew that things were not good, but after all, this was under the rule of Shuntian Mansion Yin, and he couldn't hide from it no matter what.

"This is the construction of Mr. John Tang, and he also reported to the first and second assistants."

Daddy Sun Yuanhua, the first assistant, is actually very wretched. Everyone knows that it is the second assistant Li Hao who has the final say in the imperial court, not the first assistant Sun Yuanhua.

Sun Yuanhua is also very good at being a person, as the first assistant, he goes out to investigate and inspect all day long, and runs around the local area.

And the places he goes to are all places with large projects.

It's like the Yangtze River Bridge in the Three Towns of Wuhan and the Yangtze River Bridge in Jiangyin.

The Sichuan-Shaanxi Railway from Hanzhong to Chengdu and the port project of Huating.

Anyway, Sun Yuanhua has 365 days a year, and most of the time is running from one construction site to another.

Sometimes, even sleep on the airship to rest.

Everyone thinks that Sun Yuanhua, the first assistant, is more like the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Li Xiao frowned, he knew that Sun Xing was picking himself and his father out.

Without Li Hao's nod, no one dared to let Westerners open churches at will.

If you think about it, when Li Hao was on Changxing Island, he studied with Tang Ruowang for several years.

At that time, Li Hao liked to listen to John Tang's stories.

Now that I think about it, those stories weren't all stories from the Bible.

John Tang found Li Hao and wanted to build a church on a piece of land, which was simply a simple matter.

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, if Li Hao became a Christian, then the matter would be a big deal.

"Find an excuse and tear down the church. and those who were priests were also driven away. Drive them to their own country!

In the land of the Ming Dynasty, especially in the capital of Gyeonggi, it is better to have fewer foreigners. Li Xiao commanded viciously.

"No!"

Sun Xing hurriedly agreed. It doesn't matter what method is used. It is important that the church disappear as soon as possible.

Li Xiao hasn't been to Beijing for a long time, or he hasn't been to the old capital for a long time.

Since the development of Tongzhou, Tongzhou has slowly become the new political center of the Ming Dynasty.

The Marshal's Mansion is here, the Shoufu Mansion is here, and the Second Auxiliary Mansion is also here. Not to mention, the best hospital in Daming, the Army General Hospital, is also here.

And, here are the best universities in Da Ming.

Yenching University!

The railway station in the capital is in Tongzhou, and the airship landing field in the capital is also in Tongzhou. The first dedicated airport in Beijing is also under construction in Daxing, which is close to Tongzhou.

Not to mention, as long as there are people with heads and faces in the court, all of them live in Tongzhou.

The whole of Tongzhou is full of newly paved asphalt roads.

The jeep ran on it, and it didn't bump at all. Especially when the rain is clear, the weeping willows by the river are even more beautiful.

The so-called old city refers to the place within the nine gates of the capital city wall.

Many places are alleys, and there are a large number of miscellaneous courtyards. The people who live in it are even more mixed.

Stealing chickens and touching dogs, beating stuffy sticks and white wolves, such things as abounding.

The people in charge of law and order in these places have a terrible headache.

And as long as it rains, the inside of the alley is often muddy, and if the terrain is low-lying, it is even more unbearable.

You know, people in the old city use dry toilets.

In low-lying areas, flooding flooded aqua privies. Sometimes, the water on the road is more than half a meter deep.

A lot of children are splashing in the feces.

Over the years, the old city of Beijing has been gradually electrified. Privately pulling wires abounds.

Fires occur almost every month because of the ignition of electrical wiring.

The shantytown near the flyover was caused by a fire caused by a short circuit in the power lines. Hundreds of bungalows were burned directly, and the death toll reached dozens.

Now the dignitaries and nobles basically do not live within the nine gates.

Although it is only separated by a city wall, Tongzhou and Jiumen are simply two worlds.

Because too many people want to move to Tongzhou, it directly leads to soaring housing prices in Shunyi and Daxing, which are also outside the city.

The fifth master is in Daxing, and there are many development projects.

Today, Li Xiao saw Sun Xing's report that he wanted to demolish part of the shantytowns in the city and rebuild the buildings, so he became interested in going to the city to see.

"The buildings within the walls of the capital, I don't want to move if I think I can.

Shantytowns still need to be renovated, but they must be planned and renovated in batches and sections.

There is also the problem of the circuit, and the power supply bureau needs to have a plan.

If you look at it now, there are wires all over the street. The sky was like a spider's web, and there were wires everywhere.

Look over there, the wires are dangling. Once it is blown off by the wind, it will kill people if it is not done well. ”

"No!" Sun Xing hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Also, don't just think about the land transfer fee. In a lively and prosperous place, you can open more shops.

Only by getting the business up is the way to go in the long run.

Collect the money of those who are bitter and muddy, then you can collect a few children. If you want to collect it, you will collect the money of those businessmen and rich people.

Such a person takes one, and he can take a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand of the poor.

Think about it, and use today's land to earn food for your children and grandchildren. Of course, Li Xiao knew the motive of Sun Xing's report.

That's the land transfer fee!

The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. This is what the Han people have said since ancient times!

It's just that with the change of dynasty. The landlord surnamed Liu became a landlord surnamed Li, and the landlord surnamed Li was followed by a landlord surnamed Zhao.

The Ming Dynasty is still nominally surnamed Zhu, and the world is the world surnamed Zhu, and the land is also the land surnamed Zhu.

If you want to live on this earth, you have to pay taxes.

Sun Xing is a chicken thief, perhaps inspired by the flyover fire.

This guy actually thought about selling the land to a merchant to build a house.

Miscellaneous courtyards and courtyard houses, no matter what the courtyard, are all bungalow areas.

Demolish the people in these bungalow areas and build a five- or six-story house.

That would free up a lot of land, and building a house on that land would surely make a lot of money.

As a result, real estate has become a good business.

Now, it's not just businessmen who are hungry for this business. Even the government is playing with the idea of real estate.

Since these plots belong to the imperial court, they are simply sold.

The sale is not a full sale, but a seventy-year property right. Seventy years later, if Lao Tzu sees that you are unhappy, he can drive you away.

In fact, this kind of buying is not much different from renting, and may even be more expensive.

But there is no way, the official family is determined like this.

Besides, who can live in a house for seventy years?

Many people did not live to be 70 years old. Not to mention, living in one house for seventy years.

People live for 70 years, this is not just talk.

Li Xiao has seen the population statistics of Gyeonggi:

The average life expectancy of people in Gyeonggi is only 38 years.

Of course, this also has something to do with the extremely high infant mortality rate.

Seventy years, many people will not live to be seventy years old in their lifetime.

"No!" Sun Xing made a promise again.

I had to admire the vision of the big handsome, and I immediately found a long-term meal ticket for the treasury of Gyeonggi.

"Now, we're going to collect the land transfer money.

In this way, we can still raise the price of land after collecting the money. And you also have money in Shuntianfu, and you can invest the money in things like building roads and sorting out transmission lines.

When the buildings in these forty-nine cities are almost built, the imperial court will collect real estate taxes at that time.

As long as you have a house in the capital, you have to pay taxes.

In this way, the local government has a stable source of income.

This back and forth can be regarded as stabilizing housing prices. Everyone can live in a new house, a good house.

The most important thing is that there is a lot of revenue in the treasury.

If you have done a good job in Shuntianfu, we will spread your experience to the whole country. Strive to get up in the big city now!

In my opinion, Huating is good. Quanzhou is also OK!

Xiamen and Gulangyu are also good!

Anyway, no matter what, the court wants to see real money. In recent years, the imperial court has been fighting, and spending money is the same as running water.

It's time to think about how to open up sources and reduce expenditure. Li Xiao sat in the jeep and saw the Daming Gate in front of him. Li Xiao still ordered to stop!

"No! What the big marshal said is that you can't eat the food of your children and grandchildren today, and what will your children and grandchildren do after today? ”
