Comprehensive martial arts begins with the successor of the Seven Swords

Chapter 179 Crossing the River 【Seeking Subscription・Monthly Pass】

Although the general direction of crossing the Yellow River and taking the initiative to attack Luoyang has been determined, who will lead the army has become a problem.

Bad people do not lack those officers who lead the army, and Yuan Tiangang has indeed prepared a lot of talents for Li Xingyun.

But Qi Lin doesn't think they are reliable. Although these bad people are loyal to Li Xingyun, their thinking and abilities are not suitable for the newly formed new army.

In the past period of time, he modified the military discipline of later generations and introduced it to the army, and the response was good.

Those grassroots soldiers who have just come out of the land easily accept this kind of discipline, after all, it is to protect their interests.

But the unscrupulous officers from the old army are always used to talking with whips, and they are always wooden men who want the bottom soldiers to obey their orders completely.

What's more terrible is that he stuck to his own opinion and completely ignored Qi Lin's order to sort out new tactics and training plans.

After several conflicts, Qi Lin had to dismiss all these old officers and promoted a group of more reliable people.

These guys are reliable, loyal, and eager to learn. The only problem is that the training time is too short.

If another general with a bad background is allowed to lead, Qi Lin is very worried that the nature of the army will quickly degenerate into the lifeless look of the old army.

In the end, after everyone discussed it, Qi Lin could only go out.

Li Xingyun will sit in the rear and mobilize resources from various places to ensure continuous logistics.

Zhang Zifan has always been concerned about the intelligence system, he doesn't show up much, and he doesn't have enough prestige to be the commander-in-chief.

So Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan, two people who didn't have much interest in war, directly pushed Qi Lin out.

Qi Lin didn't refuse either, which was exactly what he hoped for.

Also preparing to cross the Yellow River is the Qi State army led by the Empress.

The soldiers brought by the empress were all fed with silver, and thousands of them were combat troops, not the names of civilian laborers.

On the third day after the plan was confirmed, Qi Lin led the two vanguard brigades to avoid Fenglingdu, and launched a river crossing operation from two temporary hidden ferry crossings upstream and downstream.

"Although Li Siyuan is a good ruler, he is still a feudal king after all. He has almost no control over the grassroots!"

Qi Lin stood on the ferry on horseback, looked at the empty opposite bank, and mocked Li Siyuan wantonly.

The empress stood beside her on horseback. She was looking at the new army who was trying to maintain the marching ranks, and she was interested in it.But when she heard Qi Lin mocking Li Siyuan, she felt that she had been stabbed in the heart.

According to Qi Lin's standards, the empress is also a typical feudal monarch, and because of Qi's objective conditions, her grasp of the grassroots is worse than that of Li Siyuan.

If Qi Lin's expression was not different from usual, she would even suspect that the other party was mocking her.

In the past, the empress would never have such an idea, because she was so proud, relying on her own efforts to support the world of Qi country.

But after seeing Qi Lin establish a new organization in the local area, the empress was really hit.

With the schools established by bad people in various places as the core, Qi Lin taught a complete version of the outline of martial arts. In a short period of time, a group of warriors were born among farmers and tenants, and many geniuses were also discovered.

Armed with arms, these poor peasants certainly hoped to improve their lives.

According to Qi Lin's research in various places, these farmers initially wished to own a piece of land of their own, that is, to become new landlords.

If it is the rich and powerful people of later generations, they will not hesitate to share some of their own power, so as to win over those budding geniuses and become their own people.

Because capital always has to increase in value infinitely, it doesn't matter if some leftovers are left cold.

But under the small-scale peasant economy, the growth of wealth is slow. In the eyes of those big landlords, the wealth of the world, that is, the land, is innumerable and cannot be violated.

As far as big landlords are concerned, if you mud-legged people dare to ask for a piece of land today after learning martial arts, I don’t even dare to think about what you dare to do tomorrow!

As a result, these landlords hit hard on those who dared to take the lead, and tortured these mud legs who dared to offend themselves with severe punishments.

At this time, the school will stand up, organize these people who are desperate for the landlords, and compete with the landlords for local control.

In Qi Lin's original world, even if the peasants were organized without the support of advanced industries, it would be difficult for them to be opponents of the landlords who occupied most of the society's resources.

But who made this a martial arts world!
After accepting the ideas taught by Qi Lin and the support of practical resources, those geniuses from peasant backgrounds quickly discovered their talents, and their martial arts level gradually increased.

The dog legs raised by the landlords are not opponents at all.

So a storm of social change quickly swept across the banks of the Yellow River.

Normally, at this time, it is time to stage the stage where the heavenly soldiers arrive and sweep the thieves.

But Li Xingyun, the emperor, has changed his face. Li Siyuan is busy ascending the throne, and the empress is busy resisting the invasion of Mobei.

These landlords could only accept the result with a bitter face.

At least Qi Lin did not kill them all. First, he reduced rents and interest rates, and when most farmers stood up, he followed the trend to promote the process of land distribution.

Even if the land is divided, the landlords who have no blood debts on their bodies can still be allocated the same area of ​​land to maintain their own lives.

Of course, finding such a landlord in this era is even more difficult than finding white cotton in a coal pile.

However, Qi Lin doesn't have much sympathy for landlords, and these bastards show no mercy when they wantonly exploit farmers.

After that, Qi Lin established a mutual aid society with the school as the core, uniting loose peasant collectives to cultivate and reclaim the land that was abandoned due to the war.

Helping each other is one of the instincts of human beings.

Because the human body is not as good as wild beasts in nature, those who can't form a collective organization and fight alone have long been eaten by wild beasts.

It's just that the birth of private ownership allowed a small number of landlords to occupy most of the interests of collective output.

And those farmers at the bottom have paid the most labor, but have not received their own rights and interests, so of course they will not have a good impression of this group.

Peasant uprisings in all dynasties broke out because of this.

Now that Qi Lin has guaranteed the rights and interests of these workers, they are naturally willing to work to protect their own interests, and even go to the battlefield to fight.

The Empress still doesn't understand the logic here, she only sees those subjects who belong to her gather around Qi Lin, and regard this foreign gentleman as herself.

But he was treated as an outsider, so he was naturally deeply frustrated.

"Maybe I should ask Qi Linduo for some ideas on governing the country."

The thought came to the Empress's mind that she was originally forced to ascend the throne, and she had no loyalty to the landlord at all.

Strictly speaking, landlords in this era did not consider themselves landlords, and they had no concept of class at all.

The same is true of the Empress.

"Mr. Qi, the striker has already crossed the river."

Qi Lin nodded and said to the people around him, "Empress, let's go!"

"Everything is under the arrangement of the master." The empress nodded and said.

Qi Lin rode forward and boarded the ship collected by the logistics committee.

"Well, it seems that a pontoon bridge should be built on the Yellow River soon."

After crossing the river, Qi Lin looked at the rushing river and said so.

The Empress couldn't help saying: "I don't think it's worth it, it's too expensive. It will be winter soon, and the Yellow River will freeze."

　Ask for support!
