The tents made of silk and tung oil were gorgeous but not breathable, and the tents were hot and muggy, but still full of people.
Seeing that he was about to enter Shanxi, Lu Hanqiang decided to hold a meeting and tell all his thoughts openly and honestly to the people around him, including the prince of the prison army.
"Now judging from the news from the intelligence department of the commercial bank, Shaanxi and Shanxi are still in a severe drought, and there is no sign of rain at all recently, and the situation is worse than we imagined."
Lu Hanqiang paced slowly in the middle of the big tent, his steps were heavy and slow, and his eyebrows were no longer the look of indifference to anything on weekdays, such an expression made everyone feel depressed and made Zhang Zihan obsessed.
"According to the news from the Shanxi Intelligence Department of Shaanxi, after the famine, the people have no food to eat, that is.
There is no food to eat, and they all eat people. ” Zhang Zihan covered her small mouth and looked at Lu Hanqiang in horror, but Ruyun looked at everyone inexplicably, because in her little head, she didn't know how terrible it was to eat people.
"Cannibalism is not impossible for those affected by the disaster."
Lu Hanqiang said with a heavy heart.
"It is said that children in the northwest are not allowed to run around, and if they don't watch and run out, they will basically be gone.
Attention, it's not missing, it's gone.
The meaning of missing is to be abducted and sold, and there may be hope for life, and the meaning of being lost is to be eaten.
It is said that at this time, there were human meat markets in some places, and you can know what to do by looking at the name. ” Zihan's exclamation came from the room, like the sound of cloud gritting teeth.
Ignoring the expressions of the two girls, Lu Hanqiang continued to walk step by step, as if he was holding a heavy cart behind him, and was climbing up the mountain, so hard: "As you know, the northwest region has always been relatively short of water and poor, and the magistrates are more greedy, so the people in this place are more miserable.
Life is hard, and the folk customs are naturally strong. ” "What will happen then," the prince asked subconsciously with a trembling voice.
"What to do, cold salad."
The joke wasn't funny at all, so no one laughed at it.
"There is no food in the mouth, but there is a fierce temperament, what to do, then you can only rebel, from the first year of the city of the king of the second voice "rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to die", now appear in Shaanxi Shanxi famous pole leaders are Shen Yikui, Gao Yingxiang, Wang Zuogui, Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, red wolf, little red wolf, light lamp, star in the sky, one-headed tiger, not mud, and so on dozens of people, and there are more than 50,000 people in one share of God alone.
When he said this, Lu Hanqiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably in front of everyone, because at this time, Lu Hanqiang had not heard the name of Li Zicheng, the unbeatable Xiaoqiang, among these people.
Wang Gonggong swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and asked in a low voice: "Isn't there Governor Yang Heyang in Shaanxi who is presiding, doesn't he have any achievements?"
Lu Hanqiang smiled bitterly and took out a stack of information that he had just obtained from the trading bank, and showed it to the prince and the people present: "Yang He, there is more than enough success and more failure, and his policy is fundamentally wrong." ” Yang He supervised the three sides of the division, and treated the surging rogues, and the core of his theory was called pacification, that is, the Lin Theory and Harmony that he had made out with his big mouth.
In his own words, killing people hurts and angers, so if you can save one, you are one, after all, those who participated in the people's uprising were originally peasants, and peasants were all kind.
Once, when the peasant army attacked the county seat, it was repulsed, and several prisoners were captured at that time, and Yang He personally interrogated him, so that he could personally grasp the first-hand materials.
But before he asked, Yang He discovered an extremely strange thing, and he seemed to have seen these few.
I did see it, I saw it during the military parade, which means that these people were actually his subordinates.
This made Yang He very stunned and surprised, but at the same time, he also understood a truth, that is, why the current Liukou has begun to become stronger, and professionals have joined the organization.
The best answer to this question should be a rhetorical question as to why his subordinates joined the peasant army In Chinese history, rebellion has always been passive, in China, the people are the most resilient, no matter how you oppress, but where there is a mouth to eat, or a little lower, even if there is half a mouthful of food to eat without dying, there will be no rebellion, this is related to Confucianism and Taoism that have been circulating in the land of China for 2,000 years, and more powerful Buddhism, these three religions are to persuade people to endure high pressure and be a good sheep.
But since he chose to rebel, then he said that these people don't even have the opportunity to be good sheep, Wang Er is right, instead of sitting and dying, it is better to fight and die, no matter how it is death, then fight, maybe die later, that's all, that's all.
At this time, it was mainly the peasants who participated in the rebellion, and the basic work of the peasants was to cultivate the land, the basic tools, and the hoes.
And what prevented them from participating in this activity was the soldiers of the Ming army, and the basic work of the soldiers was to kill people, the basic tools, and the swords.
Therefore, in most cases at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is unlikely that hundreds of peasant armies will fight against hundreds of Ming armies, according to historical records, in most cases, tens of thousands of peasant armies defeated hundreds of Ming armies, or hundreds of peasant armies, and they can catch more than a dozen yamen.
Or the other way around.
It was thousands of Ming troops chasing tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of peasant troops running all over the mountains.
There is no way, after all, fighting a war is a technical job, and the sages once said that to give weapons to untrained people and let them go to war is to send them to death.
Without training, without weapons, without the art of war, without command, there can be no victory.
But Mr.
Yang He was surprised to find that the situation he faced was completely different.
In the people's army in the northwest, in addition to amateur rebels, there are many professional rebels in the Ming army, and there are many of them.
They were proficient in tactics, cunning in battle, and understood the weaknesses of the Ming army, which were very difficult to deal with, and the number of them increased, and the popular uprising became larger and larger.
In the final analysis, the reason for this situation is that there is no money in two words.
Because Donglin's policy is to reduce taxes from taxes, of course, not to reduce or reduce taxes on peasants, but to reduce or exempt commercial taxes that are closely related to scholars and big families, and to reduce or reduce taxes on a large amount of land in the hands of the gentry families, the imperial court has no money, in addition to no money for disaster relief, there is no money to pay military salaries.
At that time, only the more than 100,000 Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning iron cavalry of the Liaodong Army were borrowed by Chongzhen Dongnuoxi, and the rest of the border troops, including the Beijing camp, had no money to pay silver.
In the northwest region, since it is not the front line, it is naturally even less money, and some people have not received military salaries and food for several years, and they are so poor that it is said that they have even sold their weapons and only want to change their meals.
There is no money for disaster relief, and the common people can only take risks when they endure hardships, and those who are soldiers are even more restless when they have no money to pay.
I don't have money in my pocket, I have a knife in my hand, I can't mix it cold, and I can't rob it t1706231537:
