Just like this, when the family often doesn’t have enough to eat for a few days, the more work they do, the more they can eat. In the beginning of spring, even Sophora elm money is a good thing. I can fool my stomach.
It's just that I still can't eat enough, as if there is always not enough food.
After all, there are taxes and taxes to be paid, as well as land rent. It is normal to not have enough to eat, but it is strange to have enough to eat.
Since the emperor came to the throne, at least there was more food left in the family. Various taxes were reduced and waived, and as long as they worked hard, the family could always have a full meal.
Later, life got better. As a large number of people moved to Xinming Island and Liaodong, the land rent also dropped again and again—from [-]% of the land rent at the beginning to [-]%, then [-]%, and finally dropped altogether. To thirty percent.
The sharp drop in land rent allowed the family to finally have enough food, not only to be able to eat, but also to cut a few taels of meat during the Chinese New Year, and see the meat.
Especially salt, now you can buy enough fine salt for a family to eat for a few pennies, which is far from what the coarse salt used to be able to compare.
Eating too much salt, coupled with the occasional meaty smell, seems to have stronger strength than before, and there is a lot of vigor when doing work.
But there is an old saying that is good, full of warmth and thought of **.
When the stomach is full, people have more thoughts.
When I was not full, I thought about how to fill my stomach, but now I think about how to get some money so that I can marry a wife.
Just in time for Nanzhili to recruit soldiers, Wang Ergou gritted his teeth and joined the army.
It is impossible to go to Liaodong, although many of those guys who went to Liaodong returned home with a lot of money, and there were even a few flamboyant guys who bought a few Silla maidservants to be concubines .
But there are not a few guys who never come back, and if they don't come back, they don't come back, and they don't even have a name.
Compared with the treatment of officers and soldiers who can enter the martyr's shrine to enjoy blood and food after they die in battle, Wang Ergou thinks that he should join the army, even if the salary is still much less than that of the guys who went to Liaodong and made a lot of money, it is the same. After all, joining the army is the emperor people.
Some obsessive Wang Ergou thinks that being the emperor's soldiers, eating the emperor's food, and working for the emperor is a matter of course. What's more, after the emperor ascends the throne, the benefits brought to his family are real and can be felt of.
As for the allegiance to the emperor and the defense of the country that those eggless supervisors said, Wang Ergou only remembered his allegiance to the emperor, and the rest died with the wind.
Wang Ergou, who recovered from being kicked by Chen Biao, shook his head fiercely, and rushed out of the cabin with the other brothers.
I was distracted just now, I can't tell if it was nervousness or fear.
Training in the barracks is one thing, but being on the battlefield is another. Elites on the training ground may not necessarily be heroes on the battlefield.
The killers who came out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood can be called heroes, and they usually have a murderous aura, and they are frightening. Those who have not been on the battlefield can only be called rookies.
It is the same even if the selection criteria refer to the Northern and Southern Imperial Forest Army of the New Army and the Beijing Camp, because most of them are rookies who have never been on the battlefield, and they are far less intimidating than the New Army and the Beijing Camp.
Wang Ergou is such a rookie. The first time he went to the battlefield was the expedition to Luzon. Following the endless shelling just now, Wang Ergou's soul flew out along with the shells.
Wang Ergou felt that he was nervous rather than afraid. After all, he had seen the scene of artillery flying across the training ground, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
However, the unconsciously clenched fingers turned white due to the force, which still revealed the uneasiness of Wang Ergou's entanglement of tension and fear.
In fact, everyone was uneasy, not only Wang Ergou alone, but the entire Southern Yulin Army, except for those veterans who were originally transferred from the Beijing Camp and the New Army, the rest were almost all of the same virtue.
As for those old soldiers who were transferred from the Beijing camp and the new army, after following Emperor Chongzhen's fury at building slaves and conquering Mongolia in the north, they no longer took their lives seriously.
Of course, these killers don't take other people's lives seriously.
Looking at the soldiers around him who looked like recruits in the eyes of the Beijing camp and the new army, they were a little nervous. Liu Wu, the general banner transferred by the new army, smiled and said, "Afraid? Nervous? I tell you, this is all Nonsense,!
Think about the things you have trained, think about the tortures you have suffered, I assure you, on the battlefield, as long as you obey the order, fire when you are told, and the barbarian on the other side will die! "
Wang Ergou touched his head and asked, "How do you know?"
Liu Wu snorted coldly and said: "Back then, I followed His Majesty and personally chopped down five barbarians on the grassland!
At that time, I still used a knife!Now look at the guys in your hands, they are so much stronger than those barbarian firecrackers, you can shoot them to death before they can shoot you, you are afraid of farts! "
Liu Wu reprimanded these rookies who were on the battlefield for the first time carelessly, while walking forward indifferently, without even the slightest intention of paying attention to precautions.
As the saying goes, a raging soldier will pack a raging nest. Seeing the behavior of his own general banner, the rest of the soldiers are also greatly at ease.
Seeing that the distance was almost the same, and it was almost beyond the range of the fleet, Liu Wucai stopped and said: "Be careful, everyone, hurry up and build a position, let the brothers behind go ashore!"
After finishing speaking, he looked for a place that was out of the way, and didn't care about the hard work of those "new recruits" to build the fortifications, but fell asleep instead.
Seeing Liu Wu's appearance, another general banner transferred from the Beijing camp simply followed suit, kicking and cursing the recruits to do coolies, and then also fell asleep.
But the non-worried appearance of the two general flags gave the soldiers of the Southern Imperial Forest Army great confidence—if there was any danger, these two guys would definitely not sleep like a bird!
After roughly building a fortification, or simply building some bunkers, the soldiers on the Fuchuan began to come towards the direction of the fortification in a steady stream.
It was only at this time that the two veterans, Youzi General Banner, got up from the ground and went to report to Master Baihu.
After the Baihusuo, the Qianhusuo landed and continued to build fortifications. It was not until all the soldiers of the guards behind had arrived that they stopped building fortifications.
The continuous artillery fire from the Ming army made Sanchez's heart twitch.
What a fucking prodigal, if all the wars are like the Ming army, even if they have worked so hard to win a large colony, there is still a ball?The benefits obtained are not enough to pay for the shells!
But these have deepened Sanchez's determination to attack the southeast coast of the Ming people - as long as the navy of these Ming barbarians can be destroyed this time, their southeast coast will become a naked beauty!
As for whether those barbarians in the Ming Dynasty will have a second fleet, Sanchez said that this is unlikely.
How many fleets does Spain have in total?A fleet normally only has three or five warships.
And the barbarian navy of the Ming Dynasty in front of us has a total of 24 warships plus a bunch of supply ships. This is already five large-scale fleets!
As long as the army of these barbarians can be killed in Luzon, no matter how terrible their remaining fleet is, it is actually nothing to worry about.
To put it bluntly, people are still fighting in wars, and how many people can there be in 24 warships?What's more, the naval fleets on my side are not the only ones sunk by these barbarians-there are three fleets hiding around Luzon, and the Spanish Navy has five fleets rushing over to support them. The number is no less than the barbarian's naval warships.
What's more, those sharks from East India who would come here when they smelled blood must not let go of such a good opportunity. It's not a day or two for them to covet the southeast coast of Ming Dynasty.
The only question is how much to share with the greedy Judahs of the Dutch East India Company.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Ming Army were still landing continuously, Sanchez let go of these messy thoughts in his mind, and told Acuña who was standing aside and waiting for his order: "Order!"
Acuña lifted his spirits and replied, "Yes!"
Sanchez said: "Order the front-line troops to get ready, as soon as the artillery fire of these barbarians stops, they will immediately take the initiative to attack them!
Order the second line of defense to prepare for artillery fire, cover when the first line of defense soldiers attack, and if the attack fails, do a good job of responding when the first line of defense soldiers retreat! "
Acuña asked: "Your Excellency, is it not good for us to wait for those barbarians to die at the defense line? Their artillery support is very strong!"
Sanchez shook his head and said: "The artillery fire will eventually stop. According to their style of play, after a while, their shells should not be enough. The soldiers on the first line of defense have to do it before they can get a foothold. Disrupt their arrangements when they are stable.
I don't expect them to be able to drive these barbarians back into the sea, but if they can disrupt their arrangements, it is a success! "
PS: Pushing a big boss' book "Escape from Ming Qixing", I agreed yesterday, and then I forgot... I heard that sacrificing a big boss can increase the average subscription?
