Chapter 523
Outside the camp, the people came all over the mountains and fields, gathered at the Liang army camp, and finally stopped outside the cordon set up by the Liang army.
This shocked Liang Jun outside the city, and the Zuo Jun on the city wall was also shocked.
"What are these ordinary people coming here for?" The left army on the top of the city hurried to the city wall and pointed at the people outside the city, feeling confused.
Generally speaking, as long as people encounter war, they hide far away, so why are there still people coming to the side?
"Look, they are also carrying chickens and ducks and driving pigs!"
"Damn it, no! They drove the pig into Liang Camp!"
For a moment, the left army on the top of the city suddenly became silent and they all realized that these people were here to reward Liang's army.
At this time, the chief officer couldn't help but gritted his teeth when he saw this scene, "These unlucky people are so unlucky! I'm going to take a chicken and duck, and I'm going to die. Now I'm actually driving the pigs and sheep to Liang Camp! I'm so angry!"
The left army in the city couldn't help but scold, but they were very scared inside.
Originally, the Zuo Army felt that although the Liang army was victorious, they were fighting in the territory of the Zuo Army. The Liang army was unpopular and they were alone and could not last long.
Now it seems that they are alone and surrounded by the Liang army and the people.
In an instant, the soldiers on the city wall cursed a few words and then became dejected.
At this time, Gao Huan, who received the news, hurriedly put on his clothes and got up.
He heard that the people from all over the countryside were carrying chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and with their own rice, came to reward the army, which surprised Gao Huan for a time and even felt that it was a fraud.
After all, the last time he came, the gentry and people in Jiangnan did not treat him like this. They were afraid of it like a tiger and regarded the Liang army as a beast.
Gao Huan took 20 million taels from Jiangnan, and I don’t know how many people secretly scolded him.
When Gao Huan heard that the people came to reward the army, he did not wear armor, but instead put on a dragon robe and a winged crown, and came out of the tent.
When he arrived at the camp gate, Gao Huan looked up and couldn't help but be shocked. Looking around, there were dense figures of people, afraid that the people in the suburbs of Nanjing had arrived.
Gao Huan couldn't help but feel surprised when he looked at so many people. Even when he was in Henan, he didn't have such treatment.
The Liang soldiers in the camp were also shocked by the scene.
"It seems that the difference in the military discipline of the Zuo Army exceeds my expectations!" Gao Huan couldn't help but sigh.
Gao Huan is good to the people of Henan, but the people of Henan don’t reward him with chickens and ducks like this.
Now the people of Jiangnan are so enthusiastic that they are simply eating pots of water to welcome the king's army. This only means that the Left Army has caused them a disaster.
I am afraid of comparison in everything. Liang Jun actually did not do much in Jiangnan, nor did he distribute land to the people in Jiangnan. He just had strict military discipline and gave money to eat and did not harass the people.
This is just the basic quality of an ordinary army, but compared with the Left Army, the Liang army became a benevolent and righteous army.
Since 200,000 left army occupied Jiangnan, the people in Jiangnan have been bullied by the left army.
Gao Huan's Liang army attacked the gentry and the thought of clearing the land of Zhangzhang, paying taxes together with officials and gentry, and the lives of ordinary people were not damaged because the Liang army occupied the south of the Yangtze River.
After the Left Army occupied Jiangnan, the soldiers were unrestrained and often plundered the people and occupied farmland. For most of the year, almost every family was robbed by the Left Army.
This made the people of Jiangnan hate the Left Army. When they heard that the Liang army had fought back, they were encouraged by the National Security Department and rushed to the Liang army camp to reward the army. By the way, they saw if there was anything to help.
For a moment, outside the Liang army camp, there were thunderous cheers and the people were gongs and drums, expressing their love for the Liang army.
At this time, Gao Huan saw a group of fellow villagers coming over, representing the many people, and immediately ordered his subordinates, "Be cheered up, be careful of your appearance, and don't embarrass Daliang!"
The generals quickly sorted out their clothes and armor, straightened their helmets, and pressed the hilt of the knife majestic. The Liang soldiers in the camp also stood with long spears in their hands, erecting their proud little chests.
Seeing such a commoner and seeing the reward of the army, the pride of the Liang soldiers arose.
At this time, dozens of fellow villagers came up to salute Gao Huan, "Caomin and others pay homage to Your Highness!"
Gao Huan quickly helped the person in charge up, and asked everyone to stand up, posing as a kind gesture, "Everyone is exempted from gifts!" He grabbed the old man in charge of the old man in charge and asked kindly, "What do you call this father-in-law?"
Before, Gao Huan occupied Jiangnan and did not dare to forcibly annex Jiangnan or rashly promote reforms. It was because Jiangnan's right to speak was not in his hands, and ordinary people followed the gentry and did not stand on his side.
This time, the gentry in Jiangnan led Zuo Town over, which harmed himself and the people. At the same time, it also made the people no longer trust the big people, so it gave Gao Huan a chance to win people's hearts.
If ordinary people can return to their hearts this time, the future rule of Liang State in Jiangnan will be as solid as a god.
Seeing Gao Huan personally support him, the villagers smiled and their voices were gentle and nice. They couldn't help but sigh that King Liang had no airs and was not as the men said, a rude and unreasonable, savage and domineering warrior.
"The young man's surname is Chen. Today I bring some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep to reward the army. I hope your highness can drive away the left thieves and vent our anger for us."
"Your Highness, the left thieves are hateful! They raped, burned, killed, and plundered people's wealth, and did everything they could do."
Someone started with the beginning, and many fellow villagers complained about Zuo Zhen’s crimes indignation.
Gao Huan and others talked for a while before waved their hands to suppress them, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, fellow villagers, the left thieves will do everything evil and abuse our people. I will definitely make the decision for everyone and avenge everyone."
After hearing this, the people immediately felt a sense of joy, "Your Highness is wise!"
Gao Huan looked at the pigs and sheep that the people came, and then said with tears in his eyes: "It's my fault that I did not protect the people and let you suffer the ravages of the left army. How could I ask everyone's pigs and sheep? I also asked my father-in-law to let the villagers rush back. I took it back. It's my duty to protect the country and the people. I can't ask for things from the people anymore!"
Many people were moved and anxious when they heard this.
What a good army, what a good King of Liang! There are rumors about artificial King of Liang, and it is really a dog who is eating his conscience.
For so many years, the people who have met the soldiers are eager to plunder the people's homes, but they have never seen the army that they don't want to come to their doors.
The fellow villager named Chen hurriedly said, "This is not possible! This is the little intention of the grass-roots people. Only after the soldiers eat it can they fight the left thief!"
Many villagers agreed and insisted on giving pigs and sheep to the brave and fearless Liang soldiers.
Seeing this, Gao Huan had to make concessions, raised his hand and pressed it down, and let everyone say quietly: "Okay! I took the things on behalf of the soldiers, but I can't take them in vain. I have to give them money. If you don't want money, I won't take them!"
The fellow villager named Chen cried first, and said with tears: "Your Highness is really the Holy Lord! OK! The people of the grass collect money. However, the soldiers attacked the city and wanted to fill the soil and prepare equipment. Please ask your Highness to ask us for help!"
Gao Huan did not refuse this proposal. He was worried that the army was slow to make equipment. Now there were so many people helping us. Not only were the equipment made quickly, but the left army in the city saw so many people helping us, and he was afraid that his morale would be disintegrating. He knew who was the lonely army.
"Okay!" Gao Huan praised, "Since that's the case, it's time for the villagers."
The fellow villager named Chen hurriedly conveyed Gao Huan's words to the tens of thousands of people who came.
When the people learned that Gao Huan wanted to give them money, they were all moved.
When they learned that Liang Jun asked them to help with the work, everyone was enthusiastic, rolled up their sleeves and worked hard with sweat.
At the end of Nanjing, Zuo Liangyu climbed to the top of the city and saw more than 100,000 more people in the Liang army camp outside the city, all of whom came to support the Liang army to attack him.
Seeing the people's enthusiastic preparation equipment, ladders, siege towers, and rising from the ground in the Liang camp, Zuo Liangyu felt as if she was dead.
Is this the king just attracting the people to hold grudges?
Seeing the people outside the city, in order to drive away the Zuo Army and help Liang Army build equipment, Zuo Liangyu was frightened and dared not stay in the city.
Because the people in the city were most affected by the Left Army.
That night, Zuo Liangyu's condition worsened. He took a group of confidants to board the Zheng army's ship on the river and commanded Nanjing remotely.
