Chapter 047: The pig’s trotters have to be chopped off before they can be cooked.

Olberg is the matter.

The five thousand men and horses of the Eastern Crusade naturally began to evacuate the Sun Moon Marsh, but they came to be stationed for a week, and they did not even have too many armed conflicts with the enemy, and they were victorious.

And——

Shangguan is still a very generous person, in just one week of business trips, almost everyone has received a business trip compensation bounty of more than 300-500 gold coins on average, almost everyone left with a happy expression on their faces, this time the business trip almost earned almost a year’s salary.

“If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse graze first.”

“Money is a thing that, after all, is more valuable when it is circulated.”

Today’s top echelons of the empire are like monopolizing collections, accumulating a large amount of wealth and constantly squeezing the lower labor force, without giving corresponding salaries and benefits.

Headed by Minister Ernest, a vicious circle of terror was almost formed.

Step by step, it squeezes the living space of all the lower classes, but if a country lacks the voice of the lower classes, and the upper classes are greedy for pleasure, the country really has no value for existence.

Just like the Draco in One Piece’s worldview, they do not produce, pretend to be goddesses, arrogant, and wanton, but there are official institutions to protect their atrocities, which can be said to be quite disgusting.

The same is true of Ernest’s henchmen today, Cao Cao held the Son of Heaven to order the princes in the late Han Dynasty, and Ernest is now also the emperor who occupies the little emperor, and his enemy is an anti-thief, and in today’s environment, it seems that it is reasonable to breed such a rebel force as the revolutionary army.

But –

In the end, it is not the state that is broken, but the huge parasite that lives on the big tree of the state.

Earnest and his henchmen.

Other rebel forces, in fact, do not have so many real righteous names, but it is the local forces that cannot control them, so that such rebel forces have emerged one after another.

Qin lost his deer, and the world chased it together.

Mo said that in the ancient days of the Celestial Empire, even in the ancient society of Liben, when the imperial regime began to decline, there would be a general who created the shogunate system and took the actual control of the world.

From the Kamakura shogunate to the Tokugawa shogunate, the successive generations of shogunates were also the Genji, Ashikaga, and Tokugawa clans who were the main families who lost control of the local area, and only then did reactionary armed forces rise.

Switching to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Chongzhen Emperor was not a complete comatose monarch, although he was rigid and self-serving, but at least diligent in imperial politics, and the expenditure was extremely economical, but even so, it finally ushered in the end of the last emperor, and drew a termination spell for the Ming Dynasty himself.

But after counting the situation of the end of many dynasties, in fact, like the empire, it is still strong in the whole country, and the military strength is still the absolute ranking No.1 of the surrounding countries, and there are almost no second dynasties except for the Han Dynasty.

What was the reason for the demise of the Han Dynasty?

Undoubtedly, it was because the imperial power did not go to the countryside and completely lost its control over the local power.

But in fact, the empire is not, there are not many lost cities in the entire territory of the empire, there are more than half a million troops in the country, which can be called ten to one, and the military ability of the empire is not difficult to recruit these rebel forces.

Merely.

Ernest did not want that, if the local army sent out without permission, many rebel forces were just bandit groups composed of poor peasant households, and they could not earn much oil and water after the eight crusades, and over time, there were not many large-scale rebel forces in the empire, but the small rebel forces were dense.

So-

What is the reason for the formation of these small insurgent forces?

“Can’t live.”

Mailard gave a very flat answer, she is a killer, and she doesn’t care about things like people’s livelihood, but… Even so, she knew the actual reasons for the chaos in the empire today.

“Local decrees were issued by the imperial capital, but the decrees were not issued directly by the emperor, and most of the decrees of the empire are now forced by Ernest.”

“On the surface, there will be many flaws in the law for his henchmen to get into the loopholes of these decrees and constantly squeeze the people at the bottom.”

“In the decree of the Minister Ernest, there are legal provisions that state that the atonement money can offset the crime, and many wealthy chambers of commerce try to suppress their actual crimes to the extent that they can use the atonement money to justify the crime, and then pay part of the ransom in exchange for innocence.”

“Ernest, henchman officials, vassal businessmen, formed the food chain that squeezed those guys… If you do not escape the places that the decrees of the empire can influence, you will always be as oppressed… At this point, instead of dying tragically after being squeezed by those guys to no value, it is better to organize and rob the wealth of those merchants… Not only can they take revenge, but they can also live a more privileged life than before with hard work. ”

“However, after looting became a habit, it really didn’t matter whether he was Ernest’s henchman or not.”

The so-called righteous thieves, at the beginning, can still adhere to the idea of only robbing those merchants who are evil, but when the number gradually expands, different voices will appear, after all, it has become a group that does not produce, and when there is no way back, the bandits who will abide by their morality can only be said to be very few.

“Righteous thief.”

Lu Qiao showed a little ridicule, even in the Water Margin, a work that extremely beautifies the rebel crowd, the quality of the bandits who gathered in Liangshan is uneven, among them, Li Kui’s evil men are the mainstay, almost killing people without blinking, moving to take people’s lives, if they are adults, Lu Qiao has a word in his impression, Wu Yong forced Zhu Tong to go up Liangshan, instigating Li Kui to mutilate the son of the prefect of Cangzhou protected by Zhu Tong, a young boy who was only five or six years old.

The so-called righteous thief, in the final analysis, is just hanging a chastity archway.

“In this world, there is no need for such righteous thieves, let alone merchants and officials who force civilians to become righteous thieves.”

“Can you do it? boss——”

Maillard smiled playfully, she didn’t care what the country would become, her wish was just to keep Olberg and enjoy the good life with the girls she liked.

But, even so, she doesn’t mind watching a good show.

“Minister Ernest is the real umbrella for these guys.”

“…… As long as he sat in that position in the imperial capital for a day, this phenomenon would never stop. ”

“You’re wrong, Maillard.”

Greeting Maillard with a little sneering, Lu Qiao’s expression was very calm.

“The biggest problem of the empire today is that the imperial power does not go to the countryside-”

“But for Ernest, it’s the same thing, it’s just that his henchmen have a stake in his interests and spread his power to the lower levels.”

“Well, the other way around…”

“Chopping off Ernest’s outstretched hand means… Ernest was also locked up in the iron cage of the imperial capital. ”

“Then, wait until the day I go to the imperial capital-”

“He’s just a pig who is being slaughtered.”

He looked at the information taken out of Olberg’s intelligence database, and picked out a piece of information about the changes in the southern ethnic minorities, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his eyes flashed with cold.

“And now, you gave us the opportunity to chop off his trotters.”

“Next, it’s our round.”
