The large area of ​​Shaoguan city wall collapsed, with purple-black blood stains and charred and damaged traces. However, all the corpses inside and outside have been cleaned up. Lime has been sprinkled on the places where the corpses were once piled up, and thick loess was covered to prevent the breeding of epidemics.

After choosing a relatively clean location in the city, a shed was set up. Every distance, some kids set up a stove to start cooking soup and rice. Packets of grain and fodder were stacked nearby, and they began to prepare for relief to the people.

In a short while, a large number of ragged people gathered in front of the shed. These people were all dressed in a dish and dressed in a shabby manner. They looked like they were no different from beggars... They included the residents of Shaoguan who had difficulty making a living, and even the miserable refugees who had been living nearby in order to evade taxes.

The people with their families were arranged by Wei Jun Generals and Chiefs, and set up a shed near the city to temporarily settle down, forming gathering points of all sizes... waiting for the Wei Jun to start the shed relief, so they came to line up to ask for food.

Although the refugees gathered outside not only had a hard life, they also had no fixed place to live, but Wei general Xu Cun had also ordered his subordinates to inform the people that officials would come in the future to sort out the household registration and number of refugees. For the people of Lingnan who were resettled by the Wei army, the most basic living conditions will be guaranteed.

After the tyrant Liu, who had ruled them, was destroyed and the Yue Kingdom was incorporated into the territory of the Wei Dynasty, the refugees who had to leave their hometowns could return to their hometowns as much as possible. The Wei Dynasty would still provide relief as appropriate until the people who returned home reclaimed wasteland, or restored their own businesses, and maintained their livelihoods with their wives, children, and their elderly and young people.

Looking at the soldiers who were patrolling the swords and guns, the people who came to receive the food were inevitably a little afraid, but in order to fill their stomachs, they watched the chefs holding the spoons there, steaming in the pot, and swallowing saliva. Under the supervision of the Wei soldiers, they lined up peacefully...

Li Tianqu knew that the Southern Han Empire in the official history, that is, the current national conditions of Yue. Since Liu's establishment as emperor, it can be regarded as a strange country... This separatist regime attached great importance to business and realized the disadvantages of the dictatorship of the military in the Tang Dynasty. After all, in the end of the Tang Dynasty, all military generals usurped power and seized the throne, and the following were offenders... So he began to use a large number of scholars to govern prefectures and counties, emphasizing culture over military military officials. In the early days of the founding of the country, local officials were relatively clear.

But then the country began to gradually deviate... Liu? At first, he valued the civil servants of scholars, but in his later years he began to suspect scholars, believing that "most scholars are the descendants." However, eunuchs had no wives, children, old and young, and had no worries, so they would loyally assist the emperor... So he began to use eunuchs in a large manner. Until Liu?'s grandson Liu Yu succeeded to the throne, there were 20,000 eunuchs in the court, even far exceeding the 4,000 people in the most serious period of the Tang Dynasty's eunuchs... The power in the internal and external dynasties was mostly eunuchs, forming a trend of having to castrate themselves first if they wanted to be an official, and even allowed witches to interfere in politics, becoming the "country of witches and officials" among the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

In addition to the absurdity of one being the other, the tyrants of the Southern Han Dynasty in the official history line also have one thing in common, that is, they are levied heavily and the heavy taxes that the people exploited under their rule are extremely heavy.

Just now, Li Tianqu has heard of Liu? He wanted to plunder all the treasures and take them for himself... He built a large-scale construction and the imperial palace he built was called the Yutang Pearl Hall. The specifications are as follows: "Gold is the sun and silver is the ground, and the beads are decorated with silver; there are canals under it, soaked with real pearls; crystal, amber is the sun and moon, and placed on the east and west floors. The jade hall is built with gold and green feathers." Moreover, the large number of palaces and gardens built are all rare birds and beasts, and are like fairylands. Together with the twenty-eight temples corresponding to the twenty-eight constellations of heaven, the exploitation of the people and the money is of course conceivable.

But on the other hand, Liu, who was originally from a wealthy business family, attached great importance to business and trade. Yue Kingdom, which was in charge of the rule, could also be called a business empire. Relying on the geographical conditions of Guangdong and Guangxi, backed by the South China Sea, and developed the economy by maritime trade, the capital Xingwang Mansion was full of thousands of merchants and treasures. In short, as long as you can afford taxes and have the ability to make money, you can still live a prosperous and peaceful life.

This also made Yue a separatist regime with the most serious gap between the rich and the poor. After layer by layer of exploitation, it was of course like mountains pressing on the people at the bottom.

Therefore, according to the tax system of Yue State, each state government has set up special tax collection agencies to set up services. According to historical records, "Where are fish gathering in the rivers and lakes and ponds, they all collect official money, pigs, sheep, geese, deer, fish, fruits, and outdoor towns, and collect 1,70 stagnant copper coins every year."... There are extremely many types of taxes. In short, as long as the people move, the government can ask you for money in a different way.

If you can't survive, you might as well make up your mind to rebel. Liu? He is even more happy to capture a large number of death row prisoners and watch the many tortures he made, such as the throne, the slaughter, the beast bite, etc.... So, although the Yue Kingdom has not yet reached the level of absurdity of sending water troops to plunder sea merchants after Liu Sheng usurped the throne, he even sent a nasty way to kill chickens and get eggs. However, thieves emerged from the mountains and seas, except for the city of the state, the barbarians and bandits are rampant. In order to evade heavy taxes, a large number of people abandoned the land they depend for survival and hid in the deep mountains and ridges...

Li Tianqu was of course very clear that due to Liu's tyranny, the people in the Lingnan region were now exhausted. The Wei army marched south in a large scale, so in addition to the logistics supply of military supplies, they also transported a large amount of food to provide relief to refugees. They also waived the taxes of the former State of Yue, helped refugees for three years, and promised to reduce taxes and sympathize with people's livelihood... So what would the people everywhere think?

...The vanguard of the Wei army heading south from the middle road captured Shaoguan, Shaozhou and continued to move south, and along the way, the people were surrounded by soldiers. The troops were heading to the south, the capital of Zhenyang County, Yingzhou (later located in Yingde City, in the central and northern part of Guangdong Province).

But the Wei army troops appeared in sight, and the panicked defenders on the city were seeing a group of armoured knights unfolding, lifting their horses and spears like a forest, and the sharp blades were rising in the sun... There were also a large number of infantry soldiers who also began to choose suitable locations to set up camps and prepared to launch a fierce attack on Zhenyang City.

The chief general of the Yue army who guarded Zhenyang City had also sent people to the capital to report urgent assistance. After all, if Yingzhou was lost, the Wei army would fight southward, but it would be the territory under the capital Xing Mansion of Yue State... There were a large number of civilians in the city who were forced to repair the city defense, and the Yue State defenders were in panic all day long, so they could only wait for the fierce Wei army outside the city to prepare for the first round of offensive.

However, at night, the general of the Vietnamese army, who was at the gate tower, was paying attention to the movements of the Wei army outside at any time. When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside. When he got up in panic and ran out, he saw a group of civilians who were transporting guards on the city wall suddenly raided out the guys and greeted the soldiers who were unable to react nearby!

"You unruly people dare not rebel!"

The commander of the Vietnamese army was shocked and angry, and subconsciously scolded him sternly. However, he immediately saw more than 20 people rushing towards him with anger. The man in charge was full of anger and cursed with hatred:

"Dou Leilou! Liu? The guy who is not treating us as human beings, why should we still work hard for him? In the past, he had to live with anger, but since the Wei Dynasty had entered the Lingnan territory and promised to exempt three years of taxes, why can't we welcome the Wei army into the city, hoping to get Liu's house to shovel as soon as possible!?"
