Chapter 878: Old Fox
Under Qian Xiao's words, these people were all stunned.
They clenched the cloth bags in their hands one by one, could it be that this adult of the Yangzhou army wanted to regret it and not let them take away the food.
"I said it a long time ago, these officials are not well-intentioned!"
"Are you going to get together and kill us?" Panicked voices rang out.
"Folks, you have misunderstood, misunderstood!" Qian Xiao explained over there.
"Folks, our Yangzhou army is true to its word, and it is impossible to take back the grain sent out, but folks, we don't want these grains and grass, but some people want it! Huang Jian, Jiang Hua, these two people who are in turmoil, we haven't been able to eliminate them yet, if our Yangzhou army leaves! This can't help the villagers, so I hope that the villagers will hide the grain and grass in your own home! Don't get robbed again! Qian Xiao shouted loudly over there.
"What? Are you leaving? When the people over there heard Qian Xiao's tone, they wanted to leave Yunnan.
"General Qian is leaving?" Gao Yu over there was also stunned, and was about to step forward to question, but he joined the Yangzhou Army because Qian Xiao promised to help him kill Huang Jian. But he was stopped by his subordinate Qian Xiao's personal guards, "Senior General, we just took Yunnan City, how can we leave like this!" ”
"Huh?" Gao Yu looked at this guard suspiciously.
"Vice Admiral Gao will know if you look at it!"
"General, you can't go, what should we do if you leave!"
"yes, what are we going to do when you're gone! That Huang Jian and Jiang Hua can come back at any time. If they come back, we won't be alive again! ”
In the square, the noise rang out again.
There are those who are frightened. is afraid that Huang Jian and Jiang Hua will fight back, and there are also complains about why the Yangzhou army was not able to directly eliminate Jiang Hua and Huang Jian.
But to sum it up, it is a sentence, these ordinary people do not want the Yangzhou army to leave.
"The people's hearts are available!" In another building that had been cleaned up, Jia Xu was watching Qian Xiao's performance in the square.
Zhang Jin stood aside and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Yes, although our army defeated Huang Jian and Jiang Hua, we don't have enough troops to annihilate them. So I can only say sorry to the folks! In a few days, we'll be leaving! Qian Xiao had a bitter expression.
"No troops?"
"After our army defeated Zhao Wei and defeated Jiang Hua and Huang Jian. There are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the army, and it is difficult to resist the attack of Huang Jian and Jiang Hua, not to mention the generation in Jianning. There are also Zhao Wei's remnants and Zhao Liang's soldiers and horses! Qian Xiao said to everyone.
Because of Huang Jian and Jiang Hua's iniquity. So these people in Yunnan have long hated Zhao Wei and Zhao Liang together.
The upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked.
"General, don't go! No one, we have! ”
"Yes, there is no one, we have ah, we have no money, we have no food, but we have a life. If the general does not dislike it. I'll follow the general, and I'll die with you! A well-dressed man cried out.
"General, we will follow you too!" The common people are echoing each other.
"General. My son is eighteen years old, let him follow the general! ”
"General, our husband is twenty years old, please accept it too!"
These ordinary people are really afraid, they are afraid that Jiang Hua and Huang Jian will come back again, they finally got the hope of life, and they don't want to lose him like this again.
Jia Xu's grain and grass successfully made these people feel at ease with the Yangzhou army.
"Mr. Wenhe, what a talent!" In the house, Zhang Jin couldn't help but sigh.
The praying mantis caught the cicada and the yellow finch behind, and after Jia Xu used Jiang Hua and Huang Jian as gunmen, he defeated the two of them at once and seized their gains.
Those grains, grasses and gold, Jia Xu could have directly recruited troops and horses.
But those soldiers and horses don't recognize much of the Yangzhou army.
Because the common people had nothing to eat and wanted to eat a mouthful of food, they joined the Yangzhou Army, so this can be regarded as a negative substitution.
And now it's different, the same batch of grain and grass is used, and these grains and grass are delivered to the hands of the people for free.
These ordinary people have a hope of survival, and in order to prevent this hope from being destroyed by Huang Jian and Jiang Hua's comeback, they must be protected.
One is a passive soldier, and the other is an active soldier, which is simply a world of difference.
Jia Xu didn't say anything, just smiled indifferently.
"Don't worry, don't worry! Folks, if the folks are willing to join our Yangzhou army, we naturally welcome them, and we will not let the folks send their sons and husbands to the battlefield in vain! Look! ”
Saying that, Qian Xiao asked his subordinates behind him to bring up a few large boxes.
All the people looked at Qian Xiao and didn't know what Qian Xiao was doing.
"Open them!" Qian Xiao took out stacks of papers from the box.
"That, that is the title deed?" Someone leaned close to the sharp eye, and seemed to be able to see it at a glance.
"Brother Chen, are you mistaken?" Someone said in disbelief.
If this Brother Chen was not sure just now, but now that he was so provoked, he immediately determined, "It won't be wrong, that is the title deed!" I also read our title deed a few months ago! ”
This Brother Chen was a little bitter when he talked about this past.
The title deed of their family belonged to their family only a few months ago, but later, because his mother was sick, in order to see a doctor, he borrowed a little money like those scholars.
Originally, there were only a few hundred texts, but then it changed more and more, and in the end, I had to take the title deed to pay off the debt.
"That's right, these are title deeds!" Qian Xiao confirmed what Brother Chen said.
What did this general do with the title deed? The crowd became more and more confused.
"Folks, as long as you join the Yangzhou Army, then these land deeds are the settlement fee given to the villagers by my Yangzhou Army!" Qian Xiao shouted to the people below.
"Every family, five acres of fertile land!" Qian Xiao said his chips.
"Wow" The whole scene was boiling. This soldier can not only protect Yunnan, but also get fertile land.
Now not only can this winter pass, but we may be able to live next year and the year after.
"I'm going to be a soldier!"
"Count me in!"
"I'll do it too!"
"Don't be in a hurry. Don't worry, if you want to join my Yangzhou army, you should go over there to register! Qian Xiao was also prepared, and there were recruiters with desks, and more than a dozen people on the side worked together.
"This general, are those title deeds really given?" Someone still hesitated.
"So this little brother, do you really want to join my Yangzhou army?" Qian Xiao asked rhetorically.
"Yes!" The inquiring man nodded. He had originally planned to go to eat military rations.
"What's your name!? Where are the people! Qian Xiao continued to ask.
"My name is Li Ergou! Lijia Village's! ”
"Okay, sign up!" Qian Xiao asked the people over there to register.
"Come on. Take this and wait over there! As he spoke, Qian Xiao stuffed a few pieces of paper into Li Ergou's hand.
"Title deed, really title deed!" Li Ergou picked it up, only to find that it was really a document of the title deed.
"Li Ergou, as long as you fill in your name on this blank title deed, the five acres of fertile land outside the city will be yours!" Qian Xiao said to Li Ergou.
"Me. I. I'm illiterate! The people who asked the question said honestly.
"Someone. Help Li Ergou write his name! As he spoke, someone came up over there to help Li Ergou write his name on the blank title deed.
"I, I also have land? I also have land! Li Ergou said that he hadn't reacted yet.
"Li Ergou, but I said ugly things in front, join my Yangzhou army, only if you are qualified, you will be accepted, and the five acres of fertile land are really yours, if you can't pass, we will not accept all the five acres of fertile land. Leave two acres of land for your rations! Qian Xiao said.
Jia Xu had already discussed two acres of land, which was enough for one person to eat without starving.
"I'm going to get in!" This Li Ergou said firmly.
"The general. That's a lot of taxes! Some people asked, if these lands were given to them, the tax would be as high as eighty or ninety percent, what would be the difference between it and no land.
That's just how they rent.
"I believe that the head of Yangzhou should have known about the tax in Yangzhou, and all land is taxed by 30%!" Qian Xiao continued to preach.
Now everyone couldn't sit still.
"I'm going to be a soldier, I'm going to be a soldier!" One by one, they scrambled for fear of being weaker than others.
Is this still a good iron and not a nail, and a good man is not a soldier? It's just the other way around. When Yangzhou soldiers and horses, if it is completed, it is five acres of land, if not, it is also one acre of fertile land.
"Slow, slow!" Qian Xiao wiped the sweat from his face and continued to speak.
"We also have requirements for the Yangzhou army to accept people!" Qian Xiao said to everyone.
Male, between 16 and 30, disabled do not be, literacy is preferred.
In this way, soon, almost half of the fertile land in Yunnan City in Qian Xiao's hands was given away.
The number of people has reached more than 40,000. And it's still growing, if it weren't for the fact that the sky has already darkened, and people in many places around Yunnan don't know about it, they don't know how many people there are.
……
Qian Xiao dragged his tired body to see Jia Xu.
"Mr. Wenhe, there are too many of them, are we no longer recruiting?!" Qian Xiao asked Jia Xu over there. Because Jia Xu said before that he would only recruit 30,000 troops, I was afraid that Liu Zhang in Chengdu would worry too much.
"Why don't you recruit it?!" Jia Xu said secretly: "I said that I only need 30,000 soldiers and horses!" ”
No matter how many people were recruited, only 30,000 troops were finally formed.
Wouldn't it be nice to have more choices for these extra people?
"But what land?!" Qian Xiao is a little painful, because as long as he is recruited, even if he doesn't want you in the end, he will still give you two acres of land.
"These lands were originally for those people!" Jia Xu said with a smile.
In Yangzhou, Liu Mang, the king of the Han Dynasty, implemented a conscription system.
As long as people go to Yangzhou, they will count the fields according to the head, as long as you open up the wasteland, the land that is cleared is all yours.
Over there, it's all three acres per head.
Now Jia Xu is only two acres, and because of the topography of Yunnan, there is not much fertile land.
In the past, Jia Xu was also distressed like Qian Xiao, because those fields were all spent in vain.
But after that, Jia Xu won't.
Because he knew that this land was over there, and he couldn't take it with him.
Instead of being wasted, it is better to give it to the common people to cultivate, and it can also collect taxes.
What's more, with these lands, will the people give up these land deeds easily?
If someone wants to rob the common people now, then their only end is to provoke a popular uprising.
Also because of the gift of land, I believe that the people of Yunnan are no longer afraid of those barbarian armies, on the contrary, they may be able to live in harmony.
From the beginning, Jia Xu was an invader, and now he has become a soldier and horse welcomed by the people of Yunnan.
"I see!" Qian Xiao nodded and left.
The reorganization of the 30,000-strong army was in full swing.
……
"Jia Xu destroyed Zhao Wei?!" In Yangzhou Shouchun, Liu Mang was also a little dumbfounded looking at the information in front of him, he asked Jia Xu to send troops to Yunnan, but he didn't want to kill Zhao Wei.
Because he also knew that although Wuxi now belonged to him, Liu Mang.
But Liu Mang knew better that Wuxi had little potential for war.
Not to mention that the current Huzi has not completely unified Wuxi, so Huzi can only take some soldiers and horses with Yunnan, and the rest have to guard the tribe.
Similarly, no matter how strong Jia Xu's ability is, he can't fight ten opponents with one enemy, not to mention that this Zhao Wei is not a soft persimmon, and it is more difficult to deal with than Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang.
Liu Mang sent Jia Xu to the Wuxi Barbarians, his original intention was not to entrust Jia Xu with a heavy responsibility, but that Liu Mang was in a bad mood and wanted to take revenge on this old fox.
When the time comes, Liu Mang will also transfer this old fox back from Wuxi, and Yun has been repositioned.
But he never thought that Jia Xu would kill Zhao Wei and rely on his army of 3,000 barbarians?
Liu Mang couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it, he still knew that although this old fox Jia Xu was a little hateful, he still didn't dare to cheat on this.
Liu Mang continued to look at the letter, which was what Jia Xu had done after entering Yunnan.
From how he used the 3,000 army to move the tiger away from the mountain, and then how to surround the point to send reinforcements, as well as Qian Xiao and others who were surrendered, they all showed the ability of this old fox.
"An old fox is an old fox!" Looking at the letter, Liu Mang couldn't help but scold.
Why, because he has been with Jia Xu for a long time, Liu Mang knows Jia Xu's nature, and he Liu Mang is eighty percent similar, and in one word it is lazy. Able to sit and never stand.
If it was an ordinary old fox, how could he write the story of the war in Yunnan so carefully, I am afraid that it would only be a letter, on which a few big characters Zhao Wei died.
Killed Zhao Wei and the like alive.
And now that Jia Xu is so detailed, he has a kind of mocking meaning, telling Liu Mang that I am a talent, and I have the ability, so quickly transfer me from Wuxi. (To be continued......)
