From Soldier To Emperor - Chapter 405
Waves of cavalry collided together, and then separated after a tragic fight.
After the hedge of thousands of cavalry was over, Fu Xuan looked back and almost cried…
There are only about 3,000 people left in the army of more than 8,000 soldiers!
More than half of the casualties!
The cuirassiers on the opposite side obviously do not have the advantage of military strength and the advantage of charging with a gun, and there are more than a thousand people left!
Obviously, the two sides in the melee combat, the back Wei Jun Jingqi suffered a loss again!
Fu Xuan can’t figure out why his own side has so many advantages, and the hedging not only failed to defeat the opponent, but on the contrary, the loss was even greater?
Can that kind of close charge really bring such a big advantage?
However, what made Fu Xuan even more angry was that there were only more than a thousand cuirassiers on the opposite side who took the initiative to attack again!
More than 3,000 back Wei Jun Jingqi attacked on his side!
Are they not taking themselves seriously or asking for death?
However, no matter what the purpose of the opponent is, Fu Xuan is unwilling to have a close confrontation with the opponent. The lance used by Wei Jun Jingqi was abolished in the previous battle. After all, the lance is a disposable item, hedging. If you hit the enemy cavalry in the middle, you must let go, otherwise the huge reaction force will easily fracture the rider.
This is the reason why Lancers are difficult to train. The time to let go is the instinct cultivated through thousands of tempers, and you can’t stab people early, and you can follow them later…
Now only melee weapons such as iron bones and sabers are left behind for the melee weapons of the Weijun Jingqi. Without the advantage of the lance, it is equivalent to pulling the melee and cuirassiers to the same level.
Even though a saber can knock the cavalry wearing a breastplate into the air under a horse-riding charge, causing them to vomit blood and die, it is not as superior as a lance.
The most important thing is that Fu Xuan’s heart was left with the lingering style of the Cuirassiers before!
Even if the Wei Jun Jingqi is indifferent to life and death, he is still a living human being. He naturally has a longing for life, which is fundamentally different from Richard’s systematic soldiers.
Richard’s system soldiers were born to fight and die on the battlefield, so naturally they are fearless!
Therefore, facing the attack of the Cuirassiers, Fu Xuan ran away…
took more than 3,000 soldiers back and ran away!
As for the task of breaking through the blockade of the Ming army, Fu Xuan has long been forgotten. If even these 3,000 fine knights are lost, the Yue family army will become really blind and deaf in this battle. The Ming army can say where to fight. , Yue Jiajun can only rely on the inside defense to be exhausted!
Unilateral battlefield cover is a terrible thing, even for the defender.
So Fu Xuan wants to take the 3000-back Wei Jun Jingqi back!
The cavalry is so precious to the Yue family army, who is the lack of horses in the Southern Song Dynasty?
But the Cuirassiers are not willing to let them go. They are just the first step as a decoy. If the other party is not willing to fight to the end, the Cuirassiers will chase the cuirassiers and force them into the already prepared sets!
Beiwei Jun Jingqi is also a heavy armored cavalry, so the speed is not much faster than the Cuirassier. The two sides chased and fled, and gradually moved away from the original battlefield. Both sides did not care about the weapons and equipment and the severely wounded left on the battlefield!
As a result, the severely wounded on the battlefield watched as he bleeds too much and died…
Of course, the lightly wounded have already gone with the army.
But when this battle is over, the Ming army will send people here to clean up the battlefield.
The area where the Ming and Song armies fought has been emptied long ago, and ordinary people who are bold enough would not stay here, otherwise, even if they escaped the battle zone by chance, they would be caught by the Ming army and become a strong civilian.
If not, where did the Mingjun civilians come from?
These hard-working people do not have any wages, they only have basic food.
Therefore, most civilians are unwilling to act as civilians, but the imperial government suppresses them, and the private households **** on the land can’t run, unless they don’t want to run their own acres…
This is the superiority of the feudal system to the ruling class, because most people are tied to the land, and people can’t run off the land, and land is the main source of people’s livelihood. In the end, they can only obey the instructions of the court.
Military service is difficult to avoid.
However, those mobile vendors are not included in this list, and it is difficult for the imperial government to effectively supervise mobile vendors. This is also the reason why feudal dynasties tend to emphasize agriculture and suppress business.
Attaching importance to agriculture and restraining business is not the so-called backward system and the ruling class’s brains, but for their more stable rule of the general public.
In addition to focusing on agriculture and restraining business, there are also the benefits of delaying the excessive concentration of social wealth and widening the gap between the rich and the poor. The rulers of the court will not care whether the people’s life is hard or not, but the excessive gap between the rich and the poor in society leads to the concentration of limited living resources In the hands of a few people, most people can’t eat enough!
This is the source of the turmoil!
So there was no feudal dynasty that did not emphasize agriculture and business!
In the farming era, farmers are the majority, and the throne of the emperor is to feed the stomachs of most farmers, while merchants are a minority, or a minority who has little strength to fight back. The court’s knife naturally cuts how it wants to.
Therefore, the social status of merchants in feudal society is very low. If it is not necessary for the flow of goods, the court will even completely ban merchants!
And because the merchants earn the price difference, they will not create the means of production, no matter how many merchants are killed, they will not affect the grain output (this is the case in feudal society), so the people are very repulsive to merchants.
Of course ~www.mtlnovel.com~ There is also human hatred of wealth here. After all, whoever sees those big businessmen making so much money without farming and working, it is strange that they can balance in their hearts!
Therefore, if businessmen want to keep their family business, they must move closer to the government. Bribery is the most basic thing. Even many businessmen have to share dividends with the officials, and most of the profits they make are used to support the corrupt officials!
This is the collusion between officials and businessmen that was popular in the feudal dynasty. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, this phenomenon became more serious due to the gentry class’s policy of not paying taxes. Merchants simply put their business under the name of the Juren Master to avoid business tax!
Although the money to honor officials and gentry is much more than that of merchant taxes, the emperor of Beijing City, Lao Tzu, cannot control the merchants, and the local officials can kill the merchants one by one!
Merchants are also suffering. They just spend money to eliminate disasters. Gradually, merchants become vassals of the gentry class. They have no autonomy at all. They just work for the gentry class…
Therefore, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, except for a few armed businessmen, the real wealthy were those gentry and bureaucrats who did not do business. They lived the days of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and one man and many women because there were a large number of businessmen and farms below. Feeding this gang of non-productive country assholes!
