From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 249: Climbing to Tianshan

The equal land debt-free policy has won the hearts of the people, and the new policy of exchanging military merits for land and even obtaining titles has isolated the people's enthusiasm for joining the army.

The people in the Northwest suddenly discovered that in addition to the imperial examination, which was basically impossible to stand out, they had another way for them to counterattack the wealthy and handsome-to join the army and fight!

Although it seems very difficult to become a nobleman of military merit, it does not seem difficult to exchange military merit for a field of military merit that enjoys a half-tax policy.

The Ming Dynasty just equalized the land without debts instead of equalizing the land with exemptions. The meaning of one word difference to the common people is completely different.

In fact, the total agricultural taxes of the Ming Dynasty after they were divided into acres were not lower than those of the Tang Dynasty, but the peasants under the Tang Dynasty had a heavy burden because they had to pay taxes when they were collected by the court. An extra layer was scraped by the landlord gentry class.

The land rent of the landlord squire is much higher than that of the imperial court, and the land tax of the landlord squire of the densely populated Central Plains is even as high as 80%!

Even if the land yield is high, after paying the royal taxes, the farmers will find it difficult to leave enough rations.

In case the harvest is a little less in one year, or if the family encounters a place to spend money, they can only rely on borrowing to survive.

This is also the reason why ordinary tenants often owe a loan shark. For the landlord gentry class, in addition to land rent, the biggest income is lending. Whether it is lending or collecting rent, it is lying down for the landlord gentry class. Profitable business...

Most of the elites in this society are lying down and making money. It is strange that society can progress...

As for the people at the bottom, they are busy every day for three meals a day... Oh no, two meals a day!

The ordinary people who have eaten the meal but have not had the meal have no time to think about other things. In front of the hungry stomach, any wisdom seems pale and weak...

The social elites, mainly landlords and squires who have time, energy and spare money, lie down to make money, eat, drink, play and enjoy all day long and can dominate the situation. The majority of the people in the lower class are in a state of three states. This is the slow or stagnant progress of feudal society. The root cause of the backlash.

If the central court is not pressured by foreign enemies, even the bureaucracy will become dull and enjoyable, let alone society at that time, even the country will enter a stagnant or regressive state of civilization...

Throughout the ancient history of Richard’s past life, social progress is basically accompanied by the outbreak of wars. Only wars can destroy the vested interests that lie in the money and let the country strive for progress. Those who do not progress are basically swept into history. Garbage dump...

This point also applies to the 21st century. Why are all major countries competing for economic development and rising national strength. Isn't it because the world is not a single country and has the final say, and there is a phenomenon of contention among a hundred schools of thought?

If it really becomes a government in the world, it is estimated that the entire society will not be far from becoming a stagnant pool...

People are inertia, and a national government composed of people naturally also has inertia, but a weak country without diplomacy is still in danger of subjugation, so the government has to work hard to become stronger.

The recruitment and training of recruits in the Northwest is proceeding in an orderly manner. Richard pays special attention to the army building work in the Northwest. Richard intends to replace the previous field army with a newly formed army.

After all, the auxiliary army has shrunk to more than 10,000 people, and the three field regiments have suffered a lot. Many veterans in the field regiment are not young anymore. It's time to retire...

After all, the main body of the field army is the Han soldiers from the Western Regions and veterans with rich combat experience. Now Daming has been established for 7 years. When they joined the army, they were not young veterans. Many of them have reached the middle-aged stage. The average life span is very low...

The most important thing is that the veterans and officers of the field corps have participated in too many battles. Many people have accumulated enough military merit fields in the old military merit field. The fighting enthusiasm is far less than the former, the field corps’ comprehensive combat capabilities. Decline, even Richard can feel it!

Because of the Ming Ting’s military policy and the popular support gained by the equalization of land debts, the Northwest civilians have a high enthusiasm for joining the army. The number of recruits that have been counted now exceeds the total strength of the three field armies during their peak period!

And it can add thousands of people every month!

In this case, Richard is not short of troops.

Richard knows that future wars will no longer be the fighting of a few elite systems. The enemy he will face for some time in the future will be the green skin with no concept of military strength!

Fighting with Green Skin, he naturally can't rely on the army exchanged for Qi Luck Coins, otherwise I am afraid that he will not even be able to collect his capital...

This is also the reason why Richard used all the Qiyun coins to exchange for the Jinyiwei Commander. This undoubtedly made up for the gap in the high-end combat power of Ming Ting, not only greatly improved Richard's personal safety, but also made him have a good Support the force of deterring the martial arts faction.

Thousands of first-rate masters in the Houtian realm are enough to easily encircle several masters of the innate realm. Nowadays, there is no martial arts school in the world that can stand alone!

This is of vital importance to Richard's power to unify the martial arts arena!

Shuye specializes in ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to deal with the martial arts school. The army that exchanges fortune money is not very useful. After all, the famous martial arts faction bases are in dangerous places off the beaten track. Let alone attack, the army can go. It's always a problem there...

Many dangerous places are like martial arts masters, but they are insurmountable natural dangers for ordinary soldiers.

It's like this siege of the Tianshan faction. In addition to stationing an army at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, Richard has nothing to do with ordinary soldiers...

At this time, as the nominal temporary commander Tao Anbang of thousands of Jinyiwei commanders, hundreds of female swordsmen in white are leading the team with the Tianshan child grandmother of Lingjiu Palace, and thousands of thirty-six holes and seventy-two island bosses. The martial arts elites marched towards the nest of the Tianshan Sect.

Richard is not a warrior himself. Even if there is a warrior who can take care of him, he is unwilling to take risks personally. What if the ancestor of the innate realm of the Tianshan faction suddenly goes crazy and drags him to bury him?

Therefore, Tao Anbang, who has the strength of the acquired realm, became the leader of this time.

In terms of status, Tao Anbang was one of the founding heroes of Ming Dynasty, and now the commander of the Third Field Corps is more than enough as a temporary commander.

In terms of personal strength, the martial arts of the world's top masters will not be hindered, and it is enough to represent the Ming court.

Of course, Tao Anbang himself is not satisfied with this arrangement...

Everyone knows that this time they are likely to encounter the Innate Realm Grandmaster, and there is no army to cooperate in the encirclement and suppression!

The Xiantian realm master is not invincible, but it is not difficult to pull a back, and the distinguished Tao Anbang, no matter how you look at it, he feels that the ancestor of the Tianshan School who is about to be destroyed will not let him go...

At this moment, Tao Anbang couldn't help regretting the little moves he made in the Third Army...
