Chapter 379: Peers
Outside the helmsman of the River Gang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Banner hunting, war horse Xiao Xiao.
Lai San'er and the 1,500 elite soldiers of the White Tiger Hall have been assembled.
In addition, thousands of disciples stationed at the chief helm stood straight along both sides of the road to see them off!
Slaughter!
Although the people who came to watch knew that the Jianghe Gang never disturbed the people, they only dared to watch this mighty army from a distance at this moment!
"Look, the one at the front is the Qin Gang Master!"
"Tsk, it's really a young hero, it's called a mighty one!"
"I heard they're going to fight the thieves. ”
"Gang Master Qin said, I want to level the world for the Ming Dynasty! With him, the world will soon be peaceful, everyone will look at it!"
"It's too peaceful, it's too peaceful! It's all bandits, how can you go on like this." ”
"That is, the emperor has announced that he will be lightly paid. No, the two salaries have been changed to one salary, so let's stop everyone. ”
A month ago, Chongzhen announced the reform of Liao salary and training salary, and now the two salaries have been combined with one salary, and the money that the people should pay is only about 30% of the money in previous years.
For Chongzhen, this will reduce the tax silver by about two million taels a year. However, given that Qin Shuhuai helped him knock out 10 million taels of silver in Jiangnan, he could afford this loss. Moreover, he has already made up his mind, if the money is no longer enough, he will still care about Qin Shuhuai, who will let him come up with the idea of tax cuts?
In fact, Qin Shuhuai had already calculated it for him. In previous years, Chongzhen had to invest about 1 million taels in the trilateral area to settle the surrendered rogues, but he didn't need it in the future.
Because after the rogue descends, it won't be put back again.
After saving this million taels, won't Chongzhen only lose 1 million taels? When the time comes, copying the Donglin Party's house will be enough for him to get back 10 times and 100 times.
For Chongzhen, this money is really nothing now. But for countless ordinary farmers, this is to give them a way to live.
Qin Shuhuai's 10 million taels was equivalent to building a bridge, so that Chongzhen could interrupt the vicious circle of heavy taxation - the peasants were overwhelmed and rebelled - they had no money - they were more heavily taxed - the peasants rebelled more.
The Chinese people have always been good at patience, and as long as they can get by, they will not rebel easily.
The reduction of two salaries alone has given Chongzhen a lot of supporters.
Of course, this reduction of two salaries was still fiercely opposed by the Donglin Party. In the end, Chongzhen promised not to increase the taxes of the rich merchants and gentry in front of the ministers, so that the public discussion was calmed.
Qin Shuhuai came to the helm, and as usual, he didn't say anything grandiose before the expedition, but waved his hand and simply said two words.
"Let's go!"
With his current prestige, as long as he personally leads the troops to the battle, it is the greatest incentive for morale.
In the Jianghe Gang, an iron law has almost been formed, that is, following the Qin Gang leader on the expedition is bound to make meritorious contributions!
That's why everyone is eager to follow the gang leader!
On the war horse, the corners of Lai San'er's mouth were raised high, not hiding his pride at all.
How about it, at the critical moment, the helper still takes our White Tiger Hall out on the expedition, right?
What does this mean? This represents the weight of our White Tiger Hall in the hearts of the helpers!
Other cousins also said that Lao Tzu picked up a big bargain? Hehe, why don't you pick up one if it's so good?
If your eyes are red, your eyes will be red!
When Lao Tzu comes back from the three sides of the great feats, not to mention being famous all over the world, at least half of the martial arts must know me, right?
When the time comes, the scenery will go to marry the spring flowers, and it will be cool!
Che Gong Gong, Ma Xiao Xiao, Warrior Expedition!
A team of more than 1,500 people, all riding high-headed war horses, set off from Tongzhou and went straight to Datong, Shanxi.
The reason why Qin Shuhuai went to Datong first was because Man Gui was there. As the commander-in-chief of Datong, Man Gui has fought against the Liukou many times and has rich combat experience, so it is most appropriate to go to him to inquire about the situation on the three sides. In addition, you can also climb and make friends with him.
After arriving in Datong, he went further south and went straight to Taiyuan Mansion, where the trilateral governor's palace was located.
The team marched quickly, and when they were about to leave Tongzhou, suddenly fifty or sixty horsemen came in front of them.
Qin Shuhuai fixed his eyes and saw that it was Li Jingting.
Li Jingting saw Qin Shuhuai and shouted from afar, "Shaobao, I'm here to see you off!"
Qin Shuhuai ordered the brigade to stop, and said with a smile, "Hehe, Lao Li, you are well-informed enough, did you have a secret agent planted in me?"
Li Jingting said with a smile, "You are my superior, I don't dare to plant a secret agent here even if I eat the bear's heart and leopard guts! Meng Wei told me two days ago, saying that you are going to go on an expedition, so I will have time to see you off." ”
Qin Shuhuai smiled apologetically and said, "Lao Li, I came back in a hurry this time, and there are many things, so I didn't come to you to get together, don't blame me." ”
Qin Shuhuai, Li Jingting, Meng Wei, Meng Hu and others are no longer as simple as the relationship between superiors and subordinates. As the four people who crawled out of the pile of dead people in Jizhen Town, their friendship in private is comparable to that of siblings.
Li Jingting laughed and said, "Where is Shaobao?" We all have a heavy burden on our shoulders, and we are all on duty. By the way, if Shaobao wants to go to the three sides, will he take these horses with him?"
"What's wrong, don't you think it's enough?"
"Hmm...... With the ability to protect less, it is enough. However, since he has gone to the three sides, Shao Bao must have to fight the rogues, right?"
Qin Shuhuai smiled slightly, squinted at Li Jingting and said, "It's possible, and then what?"
"When the two armies are fighting, there is always no need to scout to probe the military situation, right? The brothers of the Jianghe Gang are able to fight well, but when it comes to listening to the eight directions and looking at the six roads, it is not me who blows, and our Jinyiwei's cavalry says second, and no one dares to say first. ”
Qin Shuhuai looked at Li Jingting's serious expression and couldn't help laughing.
This guy is not here to see him off, he wants to go along.
A good Jinyi Wei deputy Qianhu, who can obviously go to be a prestige, but if he wants to go to war, there is no one.
"Lao Li, are your injuries healed?"
"Liso. ”
"It's a long way to go to three sides, can the family arrange it?"
"Don't worry, it's arranged. ”
"Brothers behind you, are you willing to go to the battlefield and fight to the death?"
Li Jingting said lightly, "Shao Bao can ask them in person." ”
As soon as the words fell, all the brocade guards behind him shouted in unison, "The subordinates are willing to die for the emperor!
It seems to have been rehearsed before, otherwise so many words can be said so neatly?
Qin Shuhuai pointed to a few brocade guards behind Li Jingting and said, "Chen Dachong, Wang Cheng, Qi Shen, Li Liancai, Zhang Mao...... And Liuhe, hehe, they're all old people! Why, I didn't kill them in Jizhen last time?"
All the brocade guards laughed in unison.
They didn't expect that Qin Shuhuai would be able to remember their names, and their hearts were warm.
At this time, Qin Shuhuai put away his smile and said with a solemn expression, "Jinyi Wei listens to the order, enter the ranks!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately shouted in unison, "Obey!"
The team moved on.
