Chapter 319 Inspiration
Manchester men were pushed out of the house, and everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts.
When several people who tried to resist were shot over and over again, people were pushed to the church square in the city with unarmed fear.
On the way, some of them were taken by soldiers to put out the fire; some were taken by soldiers to save people.
The crowd was managed and evacuated in an orderly manner to ensure that at the same time, there were only two or three hundred people in the square in front of the church gate.
The soldiers holding muskets, waist knives and spears around the square were flags, and the dark faces after the fight made people feel heartfelt fear.
Everyone was worried in their hearts whether these soldiers would suddenly kill them.
More than 50 trillion cells are combined, some become the brain, some become the heart, and some are hands, feet, skin and bone tissue. When they are a whole and each performs their own duties, they can form a greater person.
But the same more than 50 trillion cells are not a whole, just a piece of unconscious meat that can't be done.
The long wait made the crowd riot, and they were worried and afraid of what they would happen in Manchester - it was so abnormal.
What era and where is this?
Dante's "Divine Comedy" hopes to promote moral governance as the basic principle, and Martin Luther's "Ninety-Five Program" refutes the mistakes of the Holy See with academic debate as the starting point... People all hope that the attention of the vision will return to people themselves, but this is just to the rulers, where is the matter of the people.
In this era of epidemics, climate turns colder, food harvests fail, and wars frequently, plundering is like a celebration banquet after the army wins, which is the norm.
Not to mention the lower-level and poorer European overseas island barbarians, even in the Ming and Spain, the two wealthy and powerful countries, soldiers who often owed wages, would still regard plunder as normal.
Human beings have always been cruel. Cruelty lies in treating all things in the world and in treating human beings themselves.
Humans are kind only because kindness is good for people.
A more rigorous organization and stricter military laws will help the troops have higher combat effectiveness and win at a lower cost.
But if you want to get such a result, you need to give soldiers higher treatment.
If you give up plunder, you can only have a higher form of plunder.
Who doesn't want to be more morally noble? But morality is not worth mentioning than survival unless the need for survival has been met.
Even if the pirates have endless money to spend, they will despise other pirates, and may even wear new clothes and build a arch for themselves as the biggest pirate.
Now, after breaking through the city, this army has no sense of plunder, and only acts to pursue people. Even if they see wealth in the house, they are not moved, and now they have caught everyone here - this does not make the people feel at ease, but instead makes them even more nervous.
Do they... want to massacre the city?
With this fear, the crowd stirred in silence was not calm until the sentries led by Meng Xin came in line. Everyone stared at these fully armed newcomers with panic, watching them put down their swords and guns and moved them...the table?
The table didn't seem to be used to kill people.
Two people sat in front of a table. When Meng Xin waved his hand, the soldiers pushed the young and strong people forward.
"It seems that you have served as a soldier for nobles before. Don't serve as a soldier for them. Go home and live a good life."
"Come on, tell me what you call me, how many people in my family, where the house is."
One by one, the peasant soldiers who were fighting a lot a day ago, were so arrogant that they didn't dare to come out. Under the sentry translation, they registered the relevant information according to the requirements of the Ming army and obtained the first household registration of their own.
Some people have already started a family, and when they mention their children, they carefully register their children's situation. Ming Jun, who registered, said that they would prepare a school for their children.
Finally, after the registration was over, I handed them a few sheets of paper stamped with official seals and asked them to pack them up. It was recommended that they make a wooden box after going back and take their household registration with them at any time. When they encountered a Ming army check, they could prove that they were people in Manchester.
The papers were square, with several indentations on them, and printed ink marks on the back, with the words Makinoyan and the logo of the Oriental Military Palace.
Muyeyan's cigarette box is the only paper that Liu Ruguo and even Ying Ming can provide to this land on a large scale.
In order to raise these papers, the cigarettes that Ying Ming recently provided to Liu Ruguo were sent to soldiers, and they were all scattered cigarettes.
A group of terrifying people were sent to the church square, and after completing the registration, they all returned home as if they had survived the disaster, from morning to night.
By the next day, the people who had not completed the registration were once again called out for registration as before, but it became much more orderly than the first day.
The people who are not in their turn do not have to be called elsewhere, they just need to wait at home. When the time comes, men on the whole street line up to go to the church square, and people feel much more at ease.
They heard that those who had registered were fine, but they could not leave their home for the time being.
By the third day, some people were already saying that among the people who completed the registration on the first day, some were assigned to land by the government, and some were organized to go out of the city to receive a batch of farm tools made in mountainous areas. Those farm tools seemed to be sent to them in the future.
At the same time, the government's tax standards also spread among the crowds with the news of land distribution. Each household will be divided into different numbers of land according to the number of people, and several households will be divided into a shared pasture land.
In the past, people who had land had more land were allocated by the government than before; people who had no land would have more land.
English soldiers in the Ming army said that this was because the land of the church and the nobles were confiscated. Without the nobles and the church, they could have owned so much land.
The government taxes the land on very low, but they are required to keep farming. If anyone's land is abandoned, it will be taken back and distributed to others by the government.
Everything is developing in a good direction, but for Ming soldiers, the matters that need to be handled are very complicated... The registration of people's household registration seems to be endless.
On the first day, they only registered more than 400 households.
The next day, the troops changed the registration rules according to local conditions to improve efficiency, and more than 600 households were registered.
According to Manchester's scale, this work should be completed by the third day.
However, I didn’t expect that more than 600 households were registered on the third day.
On the fourth day, not only did the people who had begun to hide in the city run to the church square to request registration, but even the people who had previously fled outside the city ran back to request registration.
Uesugi Keikaku didn't know how the news spread. His troops deployed in the north could then catch hundreds of people trying to run to the south every day.
This registration lasted until the seventh day, and the land in Manchester could no longer be distributed to the people, and the city even attracted the surrounding towns.
Soon, exciting news came from the west. Because of what happened in Manchester, the people of Liverpool were armed under the leadership of a businessman, arrested the nobles in the city, and asked Manchester for help, hoping that the Ming army could mobilize artillery to eliminate the nobles trapped in the castle.
