However, Kaiyuan Bo, who shouted to kill him, did not take any substantial action next.

He even seemed to have forgotten that the court had been established in the south, and shouted the slogan of the Northern Expedition, and quickly began to deploy defenses along the Huai River.

Well, the Northern Expedition is also fake.

The gentry in Jiangnan had a fart interest in the Northern Expedition.

They just don’t want to pay taxes and food to the capital, and four million is enough for them to betray Wanli.

But they were not interested in saving the gentry from the north in danger!

Therefore, the Hongguang court quickly appointed Chen Jian, the Censor of Cao Jiangdu of Huguang, as the military affairs of Jiangbei, to replace Chu Jinghui, who was beaten and injured, and to station in Yangzhou to take charge of Jiangbei defense. At the same time, Li Rimao, the Yanzhou military bureau who went south, was the governor of Fengyang, and the troops stationed in Fengyang, to take charge of defense west of Hongze Lake. In the past, Xu Chengwei, the governor of Huai'an, was the governor of Huai'an.

Then, the admiral Wang Hongqi, the Nanjing Grand Collegiate, and Zhu Wenda, the deputy general of Jiangxi, were respectively deployed along the Huaihei General, Fengyang.

The one behind is from the Qi family army.

The one in front should be Yu Dayou's old subordinate, who is from Zhangzhou.

Wu Weizhong and Qi Jin, who were originally following Xing Jie, abandoned their troops and headed south...

They were originally appointed by the cabinet masters to Xing Jie, and then recruited new troops to train and prepare to deal with Yang Feng.

Good plan.

But the gentry in Jiangnan didn’t give them time!

The Qi family army is not so easy to train. It’s useless for a few months in total!

Wu Weizhong is from Yiwu and Qi Jin is from Dingyuan, Fengyang. What else can they do if they don’t go south?

However, they were still entrusted by Hongguang to train the new army in Nanjing. The gentry of Jiangnan was also willing to go out and prepare to train the 100,000 Qi family army. Therefore, a large number of Yiwu veterans were re-enlisted and trained soldiers as backbones. The soldiers were recruiting mountain miners and miners nearby to burn charcoal. It was nothing more than silver. The gentry of Jiangnan was not short of silver. Suzhou casually found a bigger rich man, and it was estimated that he could support the 100,000 Qi family army alone for at least half a year.

rich!

That's really rich.

A wealthy businessman in Wuxi City can produce one million taels!

The Qian family collected 900,000 stones a year in the highest rent collection record in Suzhou!

Xuge’s hometown is 400,000 acres!

Although he took a look and asked Hai Rui to cause trouble, there might not be so many of the Xu family at this time.

Just a group of such guys, raising a 100,000 Qi family army is just like playing, so Yang Dashui gave them enough time to raise the 100,000 Qi family army, and then just have sex for free.

Tianjin.

"This is the life that people live!"

Yang Feng looked at the dining table in front of him with satisfaction.

At the dining table was a family of five, standing there looking at him crampedly.

Kaiyuan Bo suddenly ran to the village, then casually found this family and raided their dining tables.

Because the wheat harvest just passed, and the family was a military household and had already divided the fields before, the table was luxurious, with rice porridge in the bowl, and even a fish meal. In addition, there was a plate of green vegetables and pickles. Although the green vegetables were not covered with oil, this was still good.

"Can you eat this every day?"

Yang Feng asked.

"When I go back to Dashuai, I'm lucky. It's the first time that the young man has lived such a good life. Although he doesn't dare to eat like this every day, he can still eat like this after the new wheat these days."

The owner of the household said excitedly.

"That's not enough. We must strive to eat like this every day."

Yang Feng said.

"The young man is saving money to buy cows. With cows, he can grow them with a few pieces of wasteland. At that time, he can eat like this every day!"

"Yes, save money, buy cows, open up the land, save money, buy cows, and open up the land!"

"Uh, I have to have more babies. If the general has a military service, the younger ones can repay the general's kindness!"

...

This is the simple ideal!

Zhu Yuanzhang’s ideal!

The ideal society of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was so simple and unpretentious.

Yang Feng walked out of this thatched hut with emotion. As the villagers who had gathered outside watched, they looked at the harvested wheat fields in front of them, and even some early harvested wheat fields, newly planted beans and other grains had grown...

"It's a pity that you can't grow rice here. It would be great if you could grow rice!"

Li Wuyi next to him said regretfully.

At this time, Hu Huaide and others had been transferred to the capital city to train the Beijing camp there. Tianjin retained the army of Qi family under his command, and in addition, they were responsible for the training of 10,000 soldiers. Their responsibilities were coastal defense and also to protect the canal transportation, but they were mainly trained. Many soldiers had even brought their families from the south. After all, they were also a group of poor people at the bottom of the society in Yiwu. Most of them had no land. In the past, they either worked as miners or tenants for landlords.

How could anyone who really has a house and a field come out to join the army and work hard for one or two halves a month?

Now there is everything here, why not bring all your family?

"Just wait until the river is dug through!"

Yang Feng said.

Because the canal transportation has shrunk significantly, most of the boatmen are idle, so Yang Feng organized the river to dig and dig the river, and then they are willing to leave the land on the spot after the dig.

This river of reduction is crucial. It can wash away at least 400,000 mu of saline-alkali land in Tianjin and then turn it into rice fields.

Moreover, under these saline-alkali lands are humus accumulated over countless years.

"That's a great day!"

Li Wuyi said with longing.

"Can rice be grown in Jiangnan, can ordinary people live a good life?"

Yang Feng said.

"The Grand Marshal was joking. Even if he could grow rice, he was the landlord. The rest would have to be given to the government. In the end, he would be fine if he could leave 30% of it."

"What if there is no landlord?"

"Of course it's a good day. The yield per mu in Jiangnan is much higher than that here. One season of millet is just two stones. What's two stones in Jiangnan? At most, it's a middle field, and even middle and lower. The upper field is four stones, and it's not rare to produce more than five stones per mu. What's more, there are two seasons in Jiangnan. There are wheat or rapeseed in winter. In addition, one acre of land produces four stones a year. The tax on the court really doesn't have much. One acre of land is three dou, silver, corvee labor, and fire consumption are all converted into four dou.

Not to mention the civil land, it is the official land and heavy taxes in Suzhou. In fact, it is only four or five dou, plus the others, six or seven dou is the best.

No one cares about this.

It is said that the court has heavy taxes because no one dares to say that the landlords have high rents.

If you scold the court for heavy taxes, the court might be able to reduce it. If you scold the landlord for high rents, you will raise it again next year. If you don’t want to, just plant it. Some people are waiting in line. The land in the south of the Yangtze River is narrow and there are many people, so there is no shortage of farming.

There are really no landlords, those who farm like these military households today, that would be a really good day!"

Li Wuyi said excitedly.

"So why not?"

Yang Feng said.

Li Wuyi looked at him in shock.

"You are a wise man and know that I have a purpose in doing this. Then I will tell you my purpose now. My purpose is to prevent the Ming Dynasty from having any big landlords, or all farmers can eat with their own fields like these people. Taizu used various means to search the family homes and not clean up the Jiangnan family. He turned the land of these aristocratic families into official fields and distributed them to the tenants to farm, so that they could pay the tax you said that was worth a lot of taxes.

But later generations destroyed his hard work, and those aristocratic families rekindled.

The tenants were punished twice again.

My purpose is only one, to reorganize Emperor Taizu Gao’s efforts, so that all the wealthy families in Jiangnan who had tens of millions of acres or even hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land would spit out their land.

fair!

All I want is fairness.

The nobles exploited military households and accumulated millions of households. I asked them to spit out the silver. The royal family, the vassal kings, and the people's land were invaded. I asked them to return it to the people. These wealthy families used various means to merge the land of the people. I also wanted them to hand over all of them, and then let the Ming ploughers have their own land, instead of the farmer who was hungry to support those who were not stuck in mud.

That's what I'm going to do.

For this purpose, I can hold the emperor hostage, I can kill ministers, and I can put out dozens of clamping sticks and pinch those rich families in them one by one. I will do the same. So now I want to ask you, and you, are you willing to go to Jiangnan with me and stuff all the wealthy and noble families into clamping sticks, and let them hand over their 10,000 acres of fertile land, so that those farmers who should have lived a good life?

Of course, Taizu also copied their gold and silver, and I will take you to copy their gold and silver, so you don’t have to worry about no reward.”

Yang Feng said to the officers around him.

"willing!"

"willing!"

...

Everyone shouted excitedly.

Of course, it is not just for the sake of achieving that fairness, but the important thing is to search the house!

"It's great, but before that, we have to do one more thing. The people in the south have already appointed your Deputy General Wu, and there are also Qi Jin and Zhu Wenda, who are training new troops. They have also recruited a large number of your past companions from Yiwu. If our army goes south, we will inevitably fight with them. These are all our brothers and fight side by side in the past. I don't want you to be fraternal and fraternal, so we must find a way to avoid fighting.

They should be like you, and they are willing to do what I said, right?"

Yang Feng said.

"Brothers are all from hardships, and joining the army is just exchanging their lives for money to support their families. If there is such a good day, who would have come out to do such a life with his head on it?

Of course they are willing to do these.

Even if it’s not for anything else, it’s necessary for future generations to be exploited by the landlord.”

Li Wuyi said without hesitation.

"Then, I need some brothers to go south to join Deputy General Wu and Qi Jin and others, and then mix into their new army and tell those brothers from the past to let them know my purpose. When my army goes south, they will turn against each other. Then I will take them with us and carry the sticks to Jiangnan."
