0302 The Tiger of the Meng Family(2/2)
Meng Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "The rebellion in Nanzhong first took advantage of the danger of the Han Dynasty, and then deceived the barbarians to cause chaos. It was not the right way to do it. How can peace be long-term? Besides, what about Yong Kai and others?
If you send troops to Soochow and achieve success, how can you put your hope in others?"
"Now Soochow is on good terms with the Han. On the other hand, Yongkai can't even conquer Yongchang, which is isolated outside the territory of the Han. All the armies in the south and central..."
"Well, they are rebels from all walks of life, and they are fighting on their own, each is unconvinced, and each has selfish motives. Judging from this, nothing will happen."
"The villain followed them. I thought they were sincerely thinking about the barbarians, but now it turns out that as the governor said, everyone is doing it for their own power and wealth. The villain is ashamed of them, so they don't want to be associated with them.
"
Speaking of this, Meng Yan's face showed a look of horror again, as if he remembered something.
"These days, even though the army of the King of Han Dynasty has not yet arrived, the countless militia groups alone have already made the Yi people panic. I thought that the Yi people were not afraid of death, but I did not expect that the people in the militia groups were even more...
It’s more than achievable.”
"They are hard to guard against, and they attack every village day and night. Now if the rebels don't have hundreds of troops, they wouldn't dare to walk alone. The rumors about them in Nanzhong have reached the point where they can stop children from crying.
.”
"The power of the Han Dynasty has reached this point! If one day we wait for the Han Dynasty to reorganize its troops, I am afraid that the various rebels in the south and central areas will be crushed like powder. How can a villain let the people of the tribe go to waste?
life?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Li Hui, but also Wang Ping, who was silent, looked a little strange.
When did such strange thing as the militia become the power of the Han Dynasty?
Especially Li Hui's face twitched.
Whose family was the first militia group in Nanzhong?
It seems to belong to your own family, right?
There is no way, the Li family has to cultivate wasteland in Hanzhong!
One of my sons and a nephew have been in Hanzhong for so long, and they know how to fool around with a certain country bumpkin all day long, and they have to worry about their own fields in Hanzhong from such a distance.
Unfilial, very unfilial!
To be honest, although militia groups are said to be formed by private individuals, in fact, every militia group formed by a family or several groups must be registered with the court.
The militia will sell you as much dry military rations as there are in the militia, and even half a dollar will not sell you more. So if you want to conceal the number of people, you will have to have someone specially escort the rations and follow you southward, just like the imperial court sending troops.
If you really want to do this, then what’s the point of hiding the number of people?
Besides, even if someone wants to do this, does he dare? Do he really think that he is a regular soldier of the imperial court? If the bandits were suppressed on the way, it would be fine, but if one person is convicted of rebellion and the whole family is killed, it will be fun.
.
So this involved a problem, that is, the number of people in each family would be recorded in a small book by the court.
If you are open-minded, you are naturally not afraid. After signing up, you will immediately buy dry food according to the number of people, and then rush south to find laborers, well, find laborers.
But those who have ulterior motives, or whose party exceeds the number of people, must carefully consider how many people to report.
It will definitely not work if you overpay, the prime minister will have to settle the score. If you underpay and there are not enough manpower, you will let the tribe go south to kill the barbarians?
It's okay to report only part of it, but if you suddenly have some more parts that have not been registered with the court, how will you explain it?
Therefore, the militia's move seems to be for the benefit of the powerful families, so that they can find labor, um, labor on their own.
But as one of the three major governors of the Han Dynasty, how could Li Hui not see what was hidden in this?
The Prime Minister's move is so high!
However, Li Hui only sighed occasionally. Anyway, as a die-hard loyalist who devoted himself to the Prime Minister, his own tribe was within the scope allowed by the imperial court.
As for whether others are unruly, it's not your turn to worry about.
Li Hui also understood what the militia did in Nanzhong.
Hanzhong is short of manpower, and every family with land in Hanzhong is going crazy.
Naturally, the things that crazy people do cannot be understood by ordinary people.
A labor of one hundred yuan!
Therefore, they are not afraid of death and attack day and night. This is the raging enthusiasm in the hearts of the people of the militia!
These days, death is the most normal thing. It is either death in battle or starvation. Who can lie down in bed and die of old age after eating the food of carrying a knife?
After going south a few times, not to mention the rewards I received, even if I could find enough labor for my master's family and reclaim the land in Hanzhong, and my master's family would be reborn, would I have to worry about the rest of my life for those who are dependent on my master's family?
?
So most of the militia groups going south are crazy.
