In Xianwu, people evolve infinitely starting from the prince

Small flying boats flew out of the Ganjia No. 9 Feitianlou ship like hummingbirds leaving their nests, flying towards the Baishen City below.

There are a large number of small and medium-sized airships in the Qianjia No. 9 Feitianlou ship.

If the Qianjia No. 9 Feitianlou ship is regarded as an aircraft carrier, the airship in the ship is a carrier-based aircraft and is also the main combat tool of the Class A Feitianlou ship. Its combat performance has an important impact on the power of the Class A Feitianlou ship.

After all, in a real war, behemoths like the Qianjia No. 9 Feitianlou ship rarely land once they take off.

Not to mention landing.

Even lowering the flight altitude is rare.

the reason is simple.

The target of a Class A Feitianlou ship is too big. Once it lands or lowers its flight altitude, it will easily be attacked by formations on the ground, spiritual crystal cannons, and even martial arts experts.

Especially martial arts experts can completely tear apart the formation defense of the Class A Feitian Tower Ship, rush into the interior of the Class A Feitian Tower Ship, and destroy the Tower Ship before it can respond.

Of course, the martial arts experts mentioned here refer to the second-level martial arts masters, or the first-level martial arts grand masters. It is impossible for ordinary warriors to break the defense of the Class A Feitian Tower Ship Formation.

…………

The Jinwu Guards led by Guan Yuanshao and the Imperial City Division personnel led by Li Jinzhong landed behind the Tianhai Regiment's camp.

Soon, there were new changes in the Tianhai Corps camp.

Under the supervision of the Jinwu Guards and the Imperial City Division, the conscripts who were originally fed and worshiped by the Tianhai Regiment in the camp were all selected one by one and brought to the camp campus.

Especially those conscripts who were selected into the Pioneer Battalion. After learning that they and others were going to be sent to the battlefield, all of them turned pale and their faces trembled.

They all saw the outcome of the Tianhai Regiment's vanguard battalion's previous attempt to siege the city. With a hundred-man team on the field, it would be good if only three or five of them survived.

Under the attack of a top-grade city protection formation.

Not to mention ordinary warriors, even the little grandmaster of the third level of martial arts, and even the master of the law of the second level of martial arts, have to stay away.

Now Jin Wuwei wants to force them to serve as the vanguard of the Tianhai Regiment, obviously asking them to die.

No one wants to die.

No one wants to be used as cannon fodder by others and die worthless.

Seeing that Jin Wuwei was about to take action, the scene immediately became chaotic, with all kinds of wailing and begging for mercy heard endlessly.

"My lord, my lord, I am willing to truthfully register the land and property, and I am willing to contribute to the imperial court's suppression of bandits."

"Sir, the villain is also willing. The villain is willing to donate half of his family wealth to His Highness Thirteenth. I hope His Highness will be kind and spare the villain's life."

"Sir, please forgive me. I don't dare to hide my property and my husband anymore. When I go back, I will... I will definitely change my past..."

"Your Highness Thirteenth, please spare your life..."

"General, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I'll give you money, I'm willing to give you money..."

"..."

Not everyone is comfortable with death, and not everyone is not afraid of death.

Not to mention that the people recruited this time include not only warriors from big families and sects, but also wealthy businessmen from the county, local landlords and squires, etc.

These people are not as strong-willed as warriors. They are all pampered and greedy for life and fear of death to the extreme.

In addition, there are also playboys from wealthy families.

You let them indulge in pleasure, live in debauchery, molest women from good families, etc. They are absolutely proficient in everything.

They were really allowed to go to the battlefield and were sent to the cannon fodder camp to die. In an instant, they turned into soft bones. They were all paralyzed on the ground with fear, crying bitterly and unable to get up.

Of course, not all conscripts are so spineless. Even though most of the conscripts selected into the vanguard camp were frightened to death and their faces were trembling, they were not like those landlords, squires and dandy boys. Unsightly.

Except.

It seems to be to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

Or maybe it was to let the lower-level soldiers of the Tianhai Regiment see clearly how greedy and fearful these "landlords" and "gentles from aristocratic families" were.

When the Jinwu Guards and the Imperial City Division forced the vanguard battalion to attack the city, not only did all the conscripts watch, but also thousands of soldiers from the Tianhai Regiment watched.

"Are you thinking of changing your ways now?"

"It's too late!"

Li Jinzhong looked at the paralyzed people in the Pioneer Camp and couldn't help but sneer.

He ignored the generals of the Tianhai Navy who looked uncertain beside him, and loudly announced his verdict: "Today, there are eighty-nine families including the Wang family, the Song family, and the Zhang family in Zhaojun, Haizhou, with a total of more than 2,800 hidden fields. Ten thousand acres, a hidden population of 1.27 million, more than 19 times the number of properties and households registered by the court, and most of them were obtained through plunder and robbery, which is a heinous crime. "

"According to the law of the Daqian court, eighty-nine families including the Wang family of Zhaojun, Haizhou, should be sent to the army and sent to the vanguard camp to serve as a warning to others."

Li Jinzhong's voice was not loud, but it continued to reverberate throughout the entire camp, reaching everyone's ears clearly, and immediately caused an uproar among all the lower-level soldiers of the Tianhai Regiment.

More than 28 million acres of fields and more than 1.27 million households.

Such two figures are already beyond the imagination of the soldiers of the Tianhai Marine Corps who came from the lowest level.

After all, most of the lower-level soldiers of the Tianhai Regiment came from poor backgrounds, and their monthly salary was only one tael of silver. Even the half of the silver they received in the end was a sign of mercy from their superiors.

And one acre of good land, even low-grade land, costs about ten taels of silver.

Eighty-nine large families have concealed more than 28 million acres of land. On average, each family has more than 300,000 acres of concealed land, and has a hidden population of more than 14,000 people.

This is undoubtedly beyond the imagination of the lower-level soldiers of the Tianhai Regiment.

Everyone looked at the people in the vanguard camp with disgust. What's more, the conscripts in the following vanguard camps also looked at them completely differently.

the reason is simple.

Because most of the lower-class soldiers of the Tianhai Regiment are lower-class civilians serving in the military, many of them have experienced situations where their family fields were taken away from them.

Rich peasants turned into poor peasants, poor peasants turned into tenants, and tenants turned into slaves. In the end, from generation to generation, their descendants became slaves of the landlords, gentry and aristocratic families, completely losing everything.

Therefore, most of the lower class people are full of disgust and even hatred towards the landlords, gentry, etc.

Now Li Jinzhong's verdict on the seventy-nine families in Zhao County immediately made all the lower-level soldiers of the Tianhai Regiment applaud.

However, after Li Jinzhong read out the charges against everyone in the vanguard camp, he did not stop. Instead, he waved his hand. Suddenly, a group of officers from the Imperial City Division came to the front of the army formation and roughly pushed them into the vanguard camp. .

These days, officers of the Marine Corps are deeply involved with the seventy-nine wealthy families in the Pioneer Camp.

There is a saying: Cut the grass without uprooting it, but it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.

Yang An is not a fool. Since he has decided to use these seventy-nine families as examples, he will definitely not let their people stay in the Tianhai Corps, leaving him with huge hidden dangers.

It is true that he is not afraid of the Tianhai Legion's rebellion.

But he would not let them continue to control the military power of the Tianhai Regiment even though they knew that some generals had problems, and let them bewitch the lower-level officers of the Tianhai Regiment to die.

After all, the lower-level soldiers of the Tianhai Regiment are innocent.

It is impossible for Yang An to kill everyone in the entire regiment and remove a designated imperial regiment just because there is a problem with the middle and high-level generals of the Tianhai Corps.

This is also the reason why Yang An asked Li Jinzhong to pronounce the crimes of the draftees in the front camp in public.

If you don't make this clear.

Maybe there are some people with ulterior motives who will use this matter to induce rebellion among the lower-level soldiers of the Tian Hai Regiment.

"In addition, His Highness the Thirteenth Highness has issued an oral order. From today onwards, whenever a large army attacks the city, the vanguard battalion will fight first. Anyone who dares to escape military orders, resists orders without honor, is too timid to fight, shakes the morale of the army, or disobeys them will be punished directly. The ground is right."

Li Jinzhong said with murderous intent, not caring at all about the ugly faces of the surrounding generals of the Tianhai Regiment.

After Yang An's decree was read out, he looked at Commander Wang Haichao of the Tianhai Regiment with a half-smile, and said with a smile: "Commander Wang, His Highness's decree has been read out, and we can attack the city."

Wang Haichao's expression remained unchanged and he said in a deep voice: "General, I will obey the order!"

After speaking, he called the herald on the side and ordered: "Beat the drum and let the vanguard battalion attack!"

Accompanied by the rumble of drums.

Those conscripts who were sent to the vanguard camp and the officers of the Tianhai Regiment had to walk towards Baishen City in mourning.

Of course, this process is not very smooth.

If one day the law enforcement team of the Marine Corps had not chopped off dozens of heads in succession, these "big men" who were usually pampered and aloof would completely understand the situation.

A law enforcement team also dispatched crossbowmen to use crossbows to force the crowd.

I am afraid that even if this siege lasts until dark, those draftees in the vanguard camp may not be able to reach the formation attack range of Baishen City.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Facing this time's siege by the Tianhai Regiment's vanguard camp, the pirates in Baishen City reacted significantly slower, and even the attack intensity of the city formation was much weaker.

It was as if the water was released intentionally.

So much so that when the vanguard battalion was withdrawn from the battlefield, 700 or 800 people from the 500-person vanguard battalion survived, and the mortality rate was directly reduced from 967% to over 80%. , reduced by more than five times.

"So, there are already powerful people from Haizhou's aristocratic families and martial arts sects appearing in Baishen City?"

On the deck of the Qianjia No. 9 Feitianlou ship, Yang An silently watched the changes in the war below, making some guesses in his mind.

How could the Daqian Dynasty, local aristocratic families, martial arts sects, etc. be able to compete with the imperial court?

It's not just that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the imperial power does not go to the countryside.

What really worries the court are the marriages between aristocratic families and the subordinate relationship between sects and the Holy Land.

The first is the marriage between aristocratic families and aristocratic families.

Through mutual marriages, the top families of the Daqian Dynasty directly established an unbreakable network of relationships with the powerful families in every province, as well as the powerful county officials, landlords and squires.

To put it bluntly.

Almost every aristocratic family at the continental and county level can have certain in-law connections with the Twelve Aristocratic Families.

And every county powerful person can establish a relationship with the Zhoujun family.

Then there are county magnates and local squires and landlords, who can also have certain in-law connections.

In this way, one link after another, one after another, and offerings made layer by layer, finally created the twelve behemoths of the Daqian Twelve Family.

In the same way, the relationship between the Fifteen Holy Lands and the martial arts sects in the world is also the same.

Under each of the Nine Sects and Six Paths, there are several major martial arts sects, and under each major martial arts sect, there are a large number of small and medium-sized sects supporting them.

Finally, under these large and small sects, there are tens of thousands of martial arts gangs and others who continue to submit supplies.

This is how aristocratic families and sects operate.

Big fish eat millet, small fish eat shrimp, and shrimp eat algae.

And whether it is the landlord at the bottom of the aristocratic family system or the gang at the bottom of the sect system, the only people they can suck blood from are the people at the bottom.

Of course, the imperial court is also constantly absorbing the blood of the people at the bottom through its own system.

The only difference is that the imperial court is more or less responsible. It takes on the responsibilities of suppressing bandits, resisting foreign enemies, maintaining order, repairing water conservancy, etc., and occasionally opens warehouses to release grain and provide relief to the people during disaster years.

The really ugly places are those aristocratic families and martial arts sects in the holy places.

In the prosperous times, they tried every means to exploit and exploit the people.

In troubled times, they still find ways to exploit and exploit the people.

The only meaning of their existence seems to be to squeeze out the people at the bottom and not leave a penny to the people, so that the people at the bottom will be their slaves for generations to come.

The level of greed is such that even when capitalists come, they will hide their faces and leave.

Yang An suspected that there were powerful people from the Haizhou family and martial arts sects in Baishen City at this time. This was also judged from the changes in the attack intensity of the pirates and the composition of the aristocratic families and sects.

Aristocratic families are married to each other, and sects are subordinate to each other.

It cannot be said that among the many recruits in the vanguard camp this time, many of them have connections with the top aristocratic families and martial arts sects in Haizhou, and are even familiar with those in Baishen City at this time.

The most important thing is, why did these conscripts in the vanguard camp unanimously disclose to the outside world before, and each one would rather die than admit that there was a hidden field entrance?

They must be connected with each other, thinking that the law does not punish everyone, and Yang An does not dare to do anything to them.

It is even very possible that someone gave them a guarantee, making them feel that they would not die even if they were drafted into the battlefield.

In the end, Yang An didn't talk about martial arts, but he actually played it real.

After pulling them under the pirate city, they were pronounced guilty of concealing their property and population, and the conscripts in the vanguard camp, together with their relatives in the Tianhai Regiment, were sent to the battlefield to be used as cannon fodder.

It can be said that the lack of martial ethics is taken to the extreme.

It is conceivable that once the draftees of the Pioneer Battalion suffered heavy casualties.

The remaining conscripts.

Especially the ordinary landowners and squires who are at the bottom of the aristocratic family system will not be frightened to death. They will inevitably rush to surrender to Yang An. The unbreakable alliance originally formed by the various aristocratic families in Haizhou will also collapse in an instant.

Thinking about it, this is also the reason why the formation attacks in Baishen City suddenly become weak and hesitant.

Yang An believes it.

After this time the vanguard battalion attacked the city.

The remaining draftees will definitely make the right choice as soon as possible.

However, is being late the right choice, or is it still the right choice?

Now I want to surrender.

It's too late!
