Chapter 179: A Wanderer is a Thief
Kuang Yin, the lord of Hongshan City, reported urgently, Meng Yang's defeated army poured into Hongshan City, took the people's rations, humiliated the people's wives and daughters, on the eve of Hongshan City, several trucks were sent to the front line with grain collection, and now the people have no rations, their wives and daughters are not guaranteed, and they are forced to rebel, dare to ask the king, the people of Hongshan City can be regarded as the people of Burma?
Kuang Yin's article imitates the style of the Han people, and it is extremely lame, but his main purpose is of course not to show his literary brilliance, that is, to hand over the black cauldron of the rebellion of the people of Hongshan City to the defeated army to bear, as long as the people in the court determine this matter, then no one will investigate why those people have no food, and no one will investigate the fact that Kuang Yin collected more food for his own use.
Sure enough, the urgent report arrived at the imperial court, and the python was forced to say nothing, if it continued like this, let this group of deserters flee to other places, and then the people would have to force them to rebel.
So he immediately agreed with his ministers, sent troops to exterminate the deserters, and began to increase taxes, because the surplus of the granary alone could not sustain them until they had finished this battle and fought the next.
On the other hand, Cheng Xiaolian officially played his own banner, Daming cursed the army, cursed the hatred of water, and paid for blood debts and blood.
The news also came back to the royal capital, python Meng only felt that his head was big, this Da Ming curse army did not come sooner or later, but rushed to this time, if two years ago, python Mengzi personally went into battle to pacify them, but now, he is not willing to go out of the royal capital Ava City, he is a brother who killed his brother and stood on his own, it is difficult to guarantee that after going out, a brother's son will emerge in the city, and then his name is not right, there is a Ming army in front, and there is no food in the back, how can this battle be fought?
After Cheng Xiaolian hung out the banner of the Great Ming Curse Army, he was a little worried about the Nguyen Qing court in Ava City and the Burmese soldiers under his command.
But Ruan Qingting's only son has been killed by them, and the glory and wealth have become a thing of the past without inheritance, and he doesn't care whether Cheng Xiaolian is a rebel or a Ming army, as long as he has a mortal enmity with Python.
As for the Burmese soldiers under Cheng Xiaolian, the morale of the army did fluctuate a little, but it soon calmed down, and now the monthly military salary is sent on time, and the amount is three or five times that of before. Even if you don't get the reward, you won't be able to settle the rewards in the future, so it's not bad to stay here.
And the recent victories also made them feel that the elite of the royal capital was not necessarily their opponent, so why couldn't they go to the royal capital to be the elite? As long as General Cheng builds a country in Burma, aren't they all elite?
As for the words that protect the country and protect the king, it's good to shout slogans at ordinary times, but if anyone takes it seriously, it will really be a water in the head.
The king's taxes are getting heavier and heavier year by year, and the country has never said a word to them, no one will think how bad they will be without the country, since this is the case, then why guard, if General Cheng is the king, maybe everyone can live a good life.
In their country, there is no Confucian belief in loyalty and patriotism, some are just Buddhism, most people believe in it, so they are willing to suffer, thinking that it is the sins done in the previous life to pay back in this life, but when a good life is placed in front of them, they will naturally feel that they have done good things in their previous life and can finally develop in this life.
So the turmoil quickly subsided, because they had no reason to rebel, and their families were in the city of Xianli, so their homes were behind them, not in front of them.
When Cheng Xiaolian heard the chaos in Hongshan City, he was also very happy, and immediately ordered the army to rest and recuperate, and began to replenish the supply of troops.
Those recruits can be regarded as having seen the world and can be added to the ranks of veterans, and a new round of recruitment has begun.
When the people of Mengyangcheng heard that Cheng Xiaolian had defeated the elite army sent by the 30,000 kings, they were all amazed, and Tawu strengthened her determination to cooperate with Cheng Xiaolian, and she took out the silver of the city lord's mansion and handed it to Cheng Xiaolian, explaining that the military should be funded.
Taransheng didn't loot much of the people's fat and ointment, but his predecessor left him a rich family foundation, so that he still had a lot of silver left after so many years of not looting, and these things finally fell into the hands of Tawu.
Tawu understands that the silver is only silver in her hands, but handing it over to Cheng Xiaolian is the guarantee for the stability of the mother and son, and in this situation, if Cheng Xiaolian wants to rob his silver, it is not much more difficult than robbing the silver of those big families.
At this time, because the war in the north intensified, Wu Sangui took precautions and began to increase taxes, many Han and Miao people poured into Xianli City from the border, these people must not be able to buy land, otherwise it is impossible to escape, not the process of filial piety and honesty set the rules, no one to be a soldier first divided into three acres of land, with three acres of land, you can feed three people, so many people chose to join the army.
However, the selection system is very strange, first the Nanzhen Prefecture Division selects people, then the Beizhen Prefecture Division and Meng Ke in turn, and finally the recruits. If you don't even accept the recruit recruitment office, then you can only go to the auxiliary soldiers to report, but in that case, one person only has one and a half acres of land, no matter what, it can be regarded as a place to stand, if there is no natural disaster**, one and a half acres of land can barely feed two people, it is certain that you can't eat enough, but in these years, you can survive if you stutter, who still has the luxury of being able to eat?
The news of Ruan Qingting also came, and the python Meng of Ava City had decided to send an army to exterminate the deserters and anti-people, this time sending an army of 10,000 people, but there was plenty of food and grass, although there were grievances in various places, but it would not affect the overall situation.
Cheng Xiaolian also knows that as long as there is a glimmer of life, no one is willing to be anti-people, because once the rebellion has no way out, most of the final outcome is that the head is cut off, and even the descendants of relatives and friends will be affected.
On the third day of Kuang Yin's emergency report, the granary and the city lord's mansion were all declared lost, and Kuang Yin had to hide with his family in disguise to avoid death, but the situation in Hongshan City has been bad to a certain point, no one is in charge, there is no safe place, if you can't grab food, you have to go hungry and even eat human flesh, at this time, no one can care about anything, as long as it is not your acquaintance, you will reach out and grab it.
As for killing and being killed, it is even more commonplace, after killing for a long time, everyone is numb, and even if someone is killed in front of them, they will not scream and scatter and flee, Hongshan City has become a purgatory on earth.
Five days later, the army of the royal capital arrived at Hongshan City, only to find that their former comrades had fallen hopelessly.
Of course, even if it can be saved, no one dares to save it, from the moment the king gives the order, the fate of these deserters has been decided, and there is no other choice but to be killed.
