Chapter 91: How can you establish a great success if you don’t make a big mistake?

The gentry class, a turbulent beast, has already developed a mindset and puts its own interests above the national interests and national interests. As long as they do not touch their vested interests, they will not care who belongs to the world.

It is this concept that overrides the interests of the country and the nation that made the entire gentry class fall into the arms of the Qing Dynasty almost without reservation, because the Ming Dynasty could no longer give them anything.

Simply put, it’s just a sentence: having milk is a mother.

The mother of the Ming Dynasty had no breasts anymore, so the grandsons immediately turned against each other and searched the guy and stabbed her in the heart.

"We are not able to protect ourselves now. How can we take care of the interests of the gentry? Without interests, they will be like-minded with us?" Li Si looked at Yang Tinglin with a blushing face, knowing that this old scholar was experiencing a drastic ideological struggle in his heart, and he did not give him a chance to understand: "In order to strengthen himself, he must seize all the materials that may be used by foreign enemies. This is a national war and cannot tolerate any warmth."

"But...but..." Yang Tinglin also knew the seriousness of the situation at the moment. After understanding Li Si's words, he always felt something was wrong. It seemed that the truths Li Si was completely specious, but he couldn't tell what was wrong: "But the world cannot be separated from gentry..."

"Haha, it is indeed difficult to leave the gentry. It is because of this that in the past thirty years, they have not been afraid of the rebellion of the world, they are not afraid of foreign thieves, and they are not afraid of changing powers, because no one can leave them, because no matter who sits in the ranks, they are the most useful." Li Si showed a blow-off from Buddhism: "We can no longer bring out anything to the gentry, can we still expect them to be loyal? Only by destroying a great destruction can we establish a great foundation. We can smash the inherent gentry system and establish a brand new gentry system that is loyal to us."

Establish a gentry class that is completely dependent on the army to the death and can support the army to the death.

The new gentry class will be tied to the chariots of the army to die. If the forces of the army to die fade, they will return to their original form and transform from gentry into poor people again.

If you keep being poor, you may be able to bear it. Once you become a gentry, will there be a poor man willing to return to the past? This is the case with many people in the world. If you have never had it, that would be fine. Once you have obtained it, you will never want to give up again and will do your best to keep it.

Most of the world's wealth is gathered in the hands of gentry. To develop the army to die, it must touch their interests. Both sides are a natural hostile relationship and there is no room for maneuver.

In this era, the role of gentry was indeed very great. But Li Si could no longer come up with anything tempting to feed the gentry class and make them loyal. The only way was to uproot the fat and oily gentry class and then create a brand new gentry system.

The new gentry naturally had to be selected from the families of the army who went to the death, and then all kinds of people who came close to the army who went to the death.

As a new class, in order to protect their vested interests, they must do their best to safeguard the interests of the dead.

Because the army to die is the guarantee of their interests, once the army to die is defeated, they will return to "before liberation".

To create a brand new gentry system that benefits the army bound to the death, Li Si was not just talking about it, but doing it in a real way, and ignored whether the prince agreed.

This time, it was no longer robbery and kidnapping, but more directly used force to destroy the gentry and wealthy families.

It really corresponds to the saying: If you want to inflict a crime, there is no reason to worry about it.

None of the gentry's butts are clean. If you really want to find them, there are many charges without searching. There are even ridiculous charges such as "seizing people's land", "announcement of land" and even ridiculous charges such as "competing for profit with the people".

The gentry and land mainly do not "compete with the people for profit", so how can they survive?

In fact, at this time, it is no longer so important to be charged, or even whether there is a crime. The core of the problem is that Li Si wants to bring down the gentry, the thousand-year-old giant tree.

Based on the principle of "it is better to kill the wrong person than to let go", all the big players were controlled and interrogated one by one.

The army that goes to the death lacks enough patience for those arrogant and domineering big families who think they have some power. The most direct way is to use a rope to solve the problem.

In just a few days, more than forty people were hung on the top of the city.

These old men who have experienced the glory in the past will be frightened to pee their pants when they are wrapped around their necks by ropes. If they kick them down, they will die if they can’t struggle for a few times.

Even those landlords who were frightened and obedient, after several days of interrogation, there were many people who went home without being a human or a ghost.

Because the army to die had already found out their property and confiscated their land deeds, the property left by generations was taken away by the army to die.

This is simply pushing people to death.

Many people cannot stand such a blow and embark on the road of committing suicide. Occasionally, a brave man came out and took a knife to find the army to fight to the death, but in the end there was another hanging corpse on the top of the city.

Those who survived were all cowardly people who had no courage to commit suicide, nor did they have the courage to find the troops who went to the death. These people had no power and background, and at most they were just landlords. They could only endure the plunder of the troops who went to the death.

This group of people received better treatment and could be assigned to 40 acres of good land afterwards, and they were still the smallest landlord. (The dividing line between landlords and self-cultivated farmers was 20 acres)

Such bloody thundering method cleaned up the gentry and wealthy families in Shucheng in the blink of an eye, which was so fast that it was stunned and at a loss.

In just over twenty days, Li Si swept away all the gentry forces and took over countless materials and land. Except for a small number of local forces that were used to appease the local forces close to the death, he immediately distributed the copper coins.

Although these piles of materials, silver and money have been distributed to the villagers, everyone knows that these are necessary materials for the death army to fight. As long as they go to the death army to fight, they will definitely have to be taken out.

The fields that can be divided are real no matter what, and these fields are dead objects that no one can take away.

In the battle of Shucheng, he was preparing to say that no battle occurred, and the army went to Shucheng to die. Everyone was just clamoring for a while before the war, and did not put in much effort. Suddenly, they turned from mud legs to landlords with land. This huge benefit made many people unable to believe it.

But the land deeds in my hand are truly true and can’t be true anymore. These villagers who migrated from the north have been poor farmers and tenants for generations. Having a piece of farming and only land is a dream for many lifetimes. Suddenly, this dream came true.

When the beautiful general suddenly came, many people were still pinching their thighs. The more they felt hurt, the more they were happy. This was not dreaming, it was true.

When the army went to the dead to allocate land, they were as generous as ever. Those who had military achievements were based on six hectares of fat fields, and increased according to the number of military achievements. For every three more beheads, there were six hectares of fertile fields...

It turns out that the Tartars' head is so precious!

In the general environment at that time, for almost everyone, land was much more precious than gold, silver and fine, and was the foundation for survival.

Most of the veterans in the army who went to the death have brilliant military achievements, which directly led to the fact that the land of fertile fields and fat creams is mostly concentrated on the veterans of the army who went to the death.

The first group of people who joined the army to die, especially those of the military, became landlords overnight, which made their desire to serve Li Si unprecedentedly:

"My son, we have more than ten hectares of fat land in our family. From the generation of your great-grandfather's great-grandfather, our family has been a tenant, and now we are the landlords. Today I specially reported the good news to my ancestors..."

"Dad, don't worry about our family's affairs. Just fight well. The third family next door has more land than ours. We will strive to surpass the third family next year..."

"The land in Shucheng has only been available for several lifetimes. If Shucheng cannot be saved, it will not be saved. The ancestors and ancestors have dreamed of me and said that you would sell your money and die when you fight. If you throw the land away, you won't let you enter the ancestral grave."

The villagers' almost religious fanatical desire for the fields made the morale of the soldiers who died burst into pieces.

After all, the army to die is an outsider. If you want to gain a foothold in Shucheng and to protect the fields you have allocated, you must fight against all enemies who dare to invade.

Judging from the morale of the veterans who went to the death, whether it was Huang Degong or Green Degong, if he dared to come and take away these newly obtained land, it would be even more unforgivable than digging the ancestral tomb. He would definitely fight with his life.

Those who were not assigned to the fields had their envious eyes falling off. The wives at home were chatting endlessly, driving men to fight.

But now there is no war to fight, which makes these angry men want to catch anyone and fight a battle now so that they can make a war with each other.

Morale is unprecedented.
