Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 3058 Desperate Counterattack 32
Therefore, seeing that no one troubled An Ran, the Southern Dynasty began to prepare for the battle, and they were ready to fight when An Ran wanted to fight them.

From the beginning to the end, no one mentioned counterattacking the north, because they couldn't even beat the Xihu people, so how could they have the courage to fight An Ran.

They guessed right, An Ran would indeed use troops against the south, on the contrary, it would put troops against Xihu later.

The reason why we deal with Jiangnan first is not because we want to settle down first, but because we are afraid that Empress Dowager Liu will be too old, and if she dies, she will not be able to avenge her.

However, there is a big river in the south, so if you want to use troops, you still need to have a well-planned plan, otherwise it doesn't mean you can't fight, but the soldiers will definitely lose a lot of people, and of course she doesn't want to kill too many people.

Also, she doesn't want to turn upside down in the south and make the people in the south suffer, so she still has to find a way to see if she can tear down the southern court like the north, without bloodshed.

For An Ran, this is not a difficult task. You must know that those people in the north have relatives and friends who have fled to the south. An Ran let some people secretly sneak into Jiangnan, and then told these relatives and friends in Jiangnan about the beauty of the north.

Many people came to the north with their relatives and friends because they missed their homeland and heard that it was better there.

And when these people came to the north, they would secretly tell the new friends they met in the south about the good things about the north.

This kind of spread, coupled with An Ran's propaganda, brought many people from the south of the Yangtze River who couldn't make it through to the north, causing the population of the south to drop sharply.

——This is one of Enron's methods. First, lure most of the people from the south to the north, and then even if there is a fight, fewer people will die.

Those who did not leave were those who had a good life and were from Jiangnan. They did not want to leave their homeland to make a living far away, so they did not leave.

But these people will leave at any time, because it is very simple, the population of the lower class in the south has dropped sharply, but the dignitaries of the imperial court still need to be served, what if there are no lower class people to serve them?Very simple, the previous middle-class people will fall into the new bottom-class people to support the upper-class people.

It is also easy for middle-level people to fall into bottom-level people.

No, people at the bottom fled in large numbers, and the tax revenue of the court was less and not enough. In order to maintain the operation of the court, and high-level squandering, naturally, taxes had to be increased.

In this way, some people who were able to live a good life will naturally have a bad life after the tax increase.

Seeing more and more taxes in the south, more and more corrupt bureaucrats, and hearing people say that the north is good, so some people continue to flee.

In the beginning, the Southern Dynasty didn’t find out that the people underneath fled, because everyone left secretly. After all, if they ran to the North, they would be discovered. They are leaving openly, and they are all leaving secretly.

Fortunately, An Ran arranged for someone to pick them up, so they left very smoothly.

Because they were taken away secretly, the Southern Dynasty court didn’t notice that they were missing at first. Of course, the main reason is that the Southern Dynasty court came to Jiangnan for a short time, did not take root, and did not understand the local situation, especially the locals in the south did not know how many people came People from the north, so many people sneaked back now, and the locals in the south would naturally not find out.

Later, the local people in the south who could not survive left their hometowns and went to the north, and the people in the south who hadn't left would not tell the above, so as not to keep sitting in the court and hurt themselves.

Because the foundation of the Southern Dynasty was unstable, they did not understand the changes below at all.

It wasn't until the tax revenue became less and less enough that the Southern Dynasty realized that something was wrong.

At this time, many people in the south had already fled. Even if they found out, it was too late, because most of the people at the bottom, and those who fell from the middle to the bottom, ran away to the north. It used to be much less.

Seeing such a situation, the court of the Southern Dynasty couldn't help panicking, and hastily promulgated the "Law of Escaping Persons", forbidding people to leave.

They also know that there are too few people, and they will not be able to survive without Tang Anran calling.

And the more this is the case, the more people want to escape, because there are fewer people in the south, and taxes have increased. After all, there are fewer people, but there are still so many dignitaries from the north. To support so many people, it is equally shared among the people below. The burden of the common people who are officials will naturally be heavy, and the burden will become heavier, and the life will become worse. Who doesn't want to escape.

Many people even began to regret, thinking that they should not miss their homeland before, and felt that their income was not bad, and they couldn't bear to leave. Now that they are better, life is worse, and it is harder to escape than before. They really shouldn't stay.

Although it was difficult to leave because of the "Law of Escaping Persons", many people still found a way to leave seeing the situation in the Southern Dynasty. The Southern Dynasty court couldn't control it. There was no way. However, for local snakes, the relatives and friends of the locals here are intertwined. If they really want to leave, there must be someone covering them up, and they won't let the people above know.

How can officials from the north know how many people have run away in the countryside like this, and sometimes they don't know what happened until all the people in a certain village below have run away.

Seeing that even the "Law of Escaping Persons" could not control the people who wanted to leave, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was naturally anxious, and immediately sent a large army to garrison the riverside to prevent people from escaping from the south of the Yangtze River.

Their thinking is very "simple": I can't beat Tang Anran on the opposite side, can I still not deal with you small people? !
By the way, the army is stored by the river, and it can also prevent the other side from attacking, but I didn't find it here.

Needless to say, this method is really useful. After all, ordinary people dare not fight against the imperial army. Seeing that the riverside is full of people from the imperial court, the speed of population fleeing quickly slowed down.

This kind of phenomenon naturally satisfied the high-level officials of the Southern Dynasty. After all, people were going to run away, so who would they rule?Who to collect taxes from?
But they never thought that where there is oppression, there will be resistance, and human nature is like this, the more you stop, the more people want to run away, once you are caught and killed, it will bring hatred.

Coupled with the increase in taxes, the common people's hatred of the high-level officials in the Southern Dynasties became even deeper.

So soon, because the South couldn't bear the tyranny of the Southern Dynasties, an uprising broke out.

An Ran, who has been paying attention to the situation here, sees that the people in the south are revolting. If she doesn't act, she will be stupid. After all, if she doesn't act and follows the people in the south, the people may not be able to defeat the army of the Southern Dynasty. Don't be killed. A lot of people.

Even if the combat effectiveness will become stronger and stronger in the future, it will definitely not work at the beginning.

And she naturally didn't want to see many people die in the south, so she immediately issued a statement, saying that she wanted to do justice for the sky and crusade against the tyrant.

With the support of the north, the southern rebels who were a little afraid that they would not be able to defeat the imperial court became more courageous.
