Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 326
Jing Yi, Lu Tingjie and Lin Zhuocheng discussed the countermeasures, and then Lu Tingjie sent people to spread the news, and Jing Yi and Lin Zhuocheng would also send people to spread the news.

After Lu Tingjie and Jing Yi discussed the next plan, they didn't feel so uneasy, and just acted according to the plan.

He also knows the strength of Yuanling County's troops now, and he also knows how strong the recruits are under Jing Yi's training.

Lu Tingjie remembered what General Lin said about Jing Yi once led the frontier troops in Jin to resist Xiyan, and even beheaded Xiyan's general Liang Wei.The gentle and delicate little girl he used to remember is now a general who can command thousands of troops.

It's no wonder that Jing Yi, facing the soldiers in the barracks in the breeze, convinced the recruits to train one by one.That's because they know how powerful Jing Yi is.

After Lu Tingjie went back, he arranged for people to spread the news, saying that the court would raise taxes.It is said that the officials in Fucheng are envious of the wealth of Yuanling County, and they want to levy additional taxes for their own enjoyment.

The people who had a bumper harvest this year were happy that they would not be hungry this year, but suddenly they heard that the officials above wanted to increase their taxes, and the taxes were very heavy.This made the people immersed in the joy of the harvest fall into panic.

Farmers in many villages are weighing whether they have enough food to pay taxes, and whether they still have food for their families.

"Oh, this is simply not letting us people live. We finally met a good official like Lu County Magistrate who never exploited us people, but the court didn't care about our lives. This is finally a little bit hopeful, but we can't live anymore gone."

"Yeah, we have just settled down. This year, with the help of County Magistrate Lu and Mr. Liu, we have had a bumper harvest. We don't have to go hungry. The imperial court came to exploit us again. I heard that Magistrate Lu interceded for us, but the higher-ups If you don’t agree, this tax must be levied.”

The common people complained, and under the guidance of caring people, the panic in the hearts of the people gradually turned into anger.Especially those victims who fled famine and resettled in Yuanling County, they were frightened of hunger, and they didn't want to go hungry any more, and they didn't want to sell their children or daughters anymore.

They finally settled down and harvested a good harvest, but the officials did not let them live and wanted to exploit them.

Lin Zhuocheng also specially gave the recruits a holiday to let them go home to visit their families, and the soldiers also learned from their families that the imperial court was going to raise taxes.

When Jing Yi was training the recruits, she also paid attention to everyone's talk about the court's tax increase. She saw that most of the soldiers were complaining and angry, and said in a timely manner: "These court officials are corrupt, and the tax increases are not fixed. It is said that the emperor built luxurious palaces regardless of the famines in various places, often held various banquets, enjoyed and squandered to the fullest, and did not care about the lives of the people at all.

With such a corrupt court official and such a fatuous emperor, he doesn't know when he will be a leader. "

A team leader said: "Coach Liu, are we going to be exploited like this? My family planted the seeds you gave us this year and got a good harvest. My parents and my brother and sister-in-law all said that we don't have to go hungry this year. Wouldn’t it make us hungry again if we raise taxes?”

A little soldier next to him said in a naive manner: "Yes, my parents brought my younger brother and younger sister to finally have hope. With the tax increase, the food collected is useless. I grow food myself but can't eat it." Stomach is full. The imperial court’s exploitation layer by layer has made us really have no way out. What does such an imperial court want it to do.”

Xiao Bing's mouth was immediately covered by the person next to him, "Say nonsense, be careful not to be listened to by caring people and cause trouble for the family."

Another soldier said: "So what if you don't cause trouble? You still can't live."

Jing Yi said: "That's right, if we blindly submit, then our family members will be unable to survive in the end. It's better to ignore the orders from above than not to survive. If the above really send people to suppress us, we Don't be afraid, can't we defend our homeland after training for so long?"

Jing Yi's words were echoed by many soldiers, and they were also people who had endured hardships and starvation.

"Coach Liu, you are right. Aren't we training so hard to defend our homeland? Now that the imperial court has disregarded our life and death, what should we do to protect it, why not just reverse it. Otherwise, it will be death sooner or later. Otherwise, there is still hope for survival.”

"Yes, let's train hard and learn more skills. At that time, if the imperial court sends troops to attack us, we will not be afraid. At worst, we will die. We will defend our homeland by ourselves."

Everyone responded strongly, which was also the result of Jing Yi's usual ideological education.

Jing Yi said: "You don't need to worry, I have already discussed it with Lu County Magistrate, our Yuanling County doesn't listen to those officials who give orders, the common people are finally safe, and we can't let others destroy what we finally got. Happy life.

Why do we serve as soldiers, to defend our home and country, but it also depends on whether this country is worth our defense.Now that the officials are corrupt and the emperor is fatuous, many places can't stand the imperial court's oppression and exploitation.

So what if we are suppressed by the imperial court?If you don't face a dead end, if you face it, you will have great hope to survive.From now on, let's train our troops more frequently. Let's not say that one is equal to ten. If one person can deal with several, then we will not be afraid.

Moreover, our Yuanling County will continue to expand our recruitment and expand our military strength. As long as we have our own army, we will not be afraid of anyone. "

After Jing Yi mobilized the recruits to train even harder, Jing Yi also improved the food for the soldiers who increased their training, so that the soldiers in the barracks could keep up with their nutrition.

They can eat enough every day, and there is meat to eat. The soldiers feel that the soldiers they serve are very happy.

After the publicity of Jing Yi, Lin Zhuocheng and others, more people signed up to serve in the army.

Jing Yi also took over the training of the newly recruited soldiers.

Yuanling County was not only recruiting troops, but also began to expand its territory. Lu Tingjie had already sent people to persuade the magistrate of Lin County to join Yuanling County and resist the imperial court's oppression.

In order not to make it unreasonable to raise taxes in Yuanling County, Meizhou prefect Xue Wanhe issued official documents to other counties to raise taxes.Although it is not as much as Yuanling County, other counties are not as rich as Yuanling County, and it is even more difficult to collect taxes.

The county magistrates of several counties were so embarrassed by the official letter that their hair turned gray.This year is not good. Not only does the court not provide relief to the people, but it also tries to exploit and squeeze the people. Isn't this clearly going to force the people to rebel against the government?Are there still few forced rebels in Yi Kingdom?
