From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 99 Cannot betray one’s class

Although what Gongsun Kangan said was unacceptable, Yin Liren knew that what he said about Du Teniang was the truth!

It is precisely because the situation in Gaoxiang County is so severe that Yin Li will spend precious time ‘talking’ with a county magistrate who is about to end.

Yin Liren hopes to get some useful ‘inspiration’ from Gongsun Kang’an. Gongsun Kang’an has also been in the position of county magistrate for several years, and perhaps he can find something useful.

If Yin Liren knew that the current Gongsun Kangan only wanted Gaoxiang County to surrender, he would definitely hold the teacup on the opponent’s forehead!

Gongsun Kang’an is finished, don’t care about the broken jar, but Yin Liren has a great future!

This time Gongsun’s family made such a big mistake. Yin Liren, as a senior county chief in Gaoxiang County, is also a member of the Anguo Government’s Jiedu Envoy, and may be able to further become Gaoxiang County’s magistrate and turn Gaoxiang County into Anguo Jiedu. What’s in the bag.

Yin Liren is not a daydream, this kind of thing really has a lot of room for manipulation, it is impossible for the Gongsun family who has made such a big mistake to not spit out some benefits.

After all, Gongsun Kangan has offended the entire gentry class in Gaoxiang County. Even if they dare not anger the Gongsun family, they will not support the Gongsun family to continue to serve as county magistrates!

Now that the An Guo government is independent, without imperial repression, the local gentry class still has a lot of power to speak.

Even if it is a temperate envoy, he dare not offend the entire gentry class.

In fact, the independence of the Anguo government’s Jiedu Envoy from the Tang Dynasty has a lot to do with the cooperation and support of the local gentry. If the local gentry class opposes the Anguo government’s Jiedu ambassador, it is absolutely sufficient to collectively fight against the rebellion. An Guofu Jiedushi had a pot of…

The Tang Dynasty ruled the world by relying on the feudal bureaucracy, and secondly, relying on the support of local wealthy families.

“The fact that Richard made the Semu people in Dashi Town into slavery indiscriminately, we can publicize it in Gaoxiang County, and stimulate the will of the conscripted Semu militiamen to fight with the enemy. Relying on the city defense of Gaoxiang County, we may not necessarily Can’t wait for the army of Anguo Mansion to arrive.”

Yin Liren frowned and said his “strategy”.

He didn’t know this strategy in his heart, so he wanted to hear Gongsun Kangan’s comment.

Gongsun Kangan smiled and replied: “Master Yin, your idea is good, but you haven’t asked the Semu people in Gaoxiang County if they agree.

If there was no expedition before, perhaps the Semu people in Gaoxiang County might be fooled by our propaganda, but now…

Excuse me, has the golden hair of the soldiers of the Servants of Wansemu gone down? ”

Yin Liren was a little frustrated after hearing this: “Why don’t we have so much money, just the pension of the county soldiers and the military expenses for the two expeditions have almost emptied the county government treasury, and there is still money to pay to the families of the tens of thousands of Semu people who died in action. money……”

“Isn’t that enough?

The Semu people are second-class people here, and they are a bit more free than slaves. They also died for our war of more than 10,000 young people. It is not bad that the Semu people do not resent us. They still count on them. Do you work hard for the government?

It’s not good to say that the government’s approach to Semu people is not much worse than that of Richard. Since all of them are sent to death as cannon fodder and enslaved, why do Semu people use their lives to guard Gaoxiang County?

Although the Semu people are dull, they are not so stupid yet. ”

Yin Liren’s expression became more embarrassed when he heard Gongsun Kang’an’s reasons. He naturally knew how disgusting the Semu people’s residence in the city was. During the two campaigns, nearly fifteen Semu people were defeated, although there were quite a few of them. Bandits and gangsters were recruited, but most of the Semu servants who went out for the second expansion were recruited from the Semu people’s households in the city and the village under the rule of Gaoxiang County!

Although Gaoxiang County controls more population than Dashi Town, the lives of the Semu people who have been involved in these two rounds of rebellion are enough to arouse the overall resentment of the Semu people.

In peacetime, the government naturally does not care about the people’s sentiments of the Semu people. Anyway, they are often used as cannon fodder in the fight against the green skin. But now the Semu people’s renunciation makes Gaoxiang County look after the city without any hope…

Of course, Yin Liren is not incapable of raising the morale of the Semu people. Compared with the government, the Semu people undoubtedly hate and fear Richard’s behavior even more.

As long as Yin Liren shows enough’tolerance’ towards Semu people, it is not impossible to win the hearts of the people.

For example, raising the ethnic level of the Semu people to the same status as that of the Han people, that is, enjoying the same legal and tax benefits as the Han people, and then distributing land to the Semu tenants. After this set, Gaoxiang County can definitely harvest Semu. Blockbuster support from people’s households!

However, Yin Liren and Gaoxiang County officials must not do that!

Because doing so will offend the Han class in Gaoxiang County!

Once the Semu people are divided into fields, and their social status is improved Government Minutes will become the enemies of Han Chinese gentry and ordinary Han people who are perverted!

‘S fields belong to the gentry class of Han Chinese, and the promotion of social status makes Han people feel unbalanced and feel that they have been betrayed.

Without the support of the Han class, the cohesion of the government in Gaoxiang County will basically be zero. Even if the Semu people take the initiative to help defend the city, they will not be able to win. The Semu people are already weak in combat power. It’s strange to win!

After all, Richard is not an ordinary bandit!

As a result, the Semu people, who occupy the majority of the population, cannot rely on them, and the promotion of the status of the Semu people will betray their own class. The main force of the Han army in Gaoxiang County will be wiped out. The morale of the remaining government officials and the patrol camp in Dashu Town is sluggish. There is no belief in defeating Richard’s rebels…

How do you look at it, Yin Liren feels that Gaoxiang County will not be able to stop it for a day as long as Richard is approaching the city!

After a round of chatting with Gongsun Kangan, Yin Liren became even more desperate…

Seeing Yin Liren’s hesitant look, Gongsun Kang’an once again added his fire: “With the city defense of Gaoxiang County, we naturally have the strength to fight, but once the battle is defeated, with Richard’s cruel temperament, I am afraid that the resisting personnel will be attacked. Clean it all away. You know what he did in Dashi Town. Richard is not a benevolent master. When his enemy is ready to be killed, the soldier below may forgive him, but you I am a leader in Gaoxiang County, do you think Richard will let it go?

Anyway, I won’t be able to resist in the city by then. When Richard is approaching the city, if you resolutely resist, even if I am alone, I will flee the dead place of Gaoxiang County! ”

Yin Liren was stunned when he heard that, Gongsun Kangan was right. If he surrendered, he might save his life. If he resisted, he would definitely die if he broke through the city!
