The war horse gradually accelerated, and bursts of hot wind blew on his face.
The command knife in his hand was slashing, and with the speed of the horse, he could easily tear open the human flesh.
The war horses passed by like the wind, and Li Guangyuan enjoyed the pleasure of chasing death and the north, and the wantonness of the blood-stained sword.
"kill!"
The entire battlefield was filled with shouts of killing from the Liberation Army.
Charge, keep charging, chasing the defeated enemy army!
Gradually, more and more Pampanga natives chose to kneel down and surrender.
Use your obedience in exchange for the chance of survival!
…
On August 19, 1661, in the early morning, the sun shone on the earth.
Zhu Hongyu finally received the good news from Li Guangyuan.
He first faced the Pampanga indigenous army in the wild and was severely defeated. Then, after gathering prisoners of war, he led his troops to defeat four Pampanga tribes.
Prisoners of war were captured before and after, and countless supplies were seized!
This time when I came back with the news of success, I wanted Zhu Hongyu to send troops to respond.
Because he has captured too many prisoners of war now, and with less than a thousand troops on hand, he is somewhat unable to control the situation.
Zhu Hongyu made a prompt decision and sent 500 reinforcements to Li Guangyuan.
…
Early morning is the coolest time every day in Manila!
The golden sunshine spreads on the streets, and the beautiful morning light shines on the earth.
The cool sea breeze blew in, taking away the heat.
In Luzon City, Liu's breakfast shop was filled with people early in the morning.
The owner of the store, Liu, was cooking in full swing, his wife and daughter were greeting the customers enthusiastically, and his son was sitting behind the counter settling accounts.
This is a typical family-style shop!
From the cook to the waiter, everyone is a family.
"Old Liu, bring me a drawer of steamed buns and a bowl of tofu. I want something salty."
A regular customer wandered into the store and said.
"But hurry up, I have to go to the military government to report today!"
Lao Liu quickly responded.
"Okay, Mr. Jia, wait a moment, Lao Liu, I'll serve it to you right now!"
A regular customer named Jia Fuzi sat at his usual seat, and a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman next to him asked.
"Master Jia has passed the imperial examination of the military government. Can he become an official of the military government?"
Jia Fuzi stroked the goatee on his chest and said.
"That's natural. I have been studying the Four Books and Five Classics since I was a child, and how to take the imperial examination. Now that I can show my talents, how can I fail?"
The businessman spoke.
"I heard that the imperial examination run by the military government did not test the Four Books and Five Classics, but instead tested policy theory, arithmetic and herdsmen's strategies. Is this true or false?"
Old Liu put the hot steamed buns and tofu buns on the table, then showed an interested expression on his face and asked.
"Yes, Mr. Jia, tell us neighbors."
Old Liu had a bold idea. He hoped that one day his son could become an official instead of continuing to work as a merchant and chef.
Jia Fuzi picked up the hot breakfast food, took a bite, and then spoke.
"It's true. The military government is currently in urgent need of practical talents. What we are conducting now is not a formal imperial examination, but an examination to recruit officials."
"Although it is impossible to select great talents for running the world without examining the sage articles of the Four Books and Five Classics, it is still possible to select some small officials and officials who are urgently needed to govern the local area. This also has its merits."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Old Liu Tou said to Jia Fuzi.
"Thank you Master Jia for clarifying everyone's doubts. Today's breakfast is a treat for me!"
Jia Fuzi shook his head and said.
"It's a no-brainer. The governor is extremely strict in his rule. He hates corruption to the core of his bones when it comes to harming the people and bullying good people."
"Today is the day when I officially take office as an official. If I try to eat the Overlord's meal on my first day, I'm afraid that the Jin Yiwei will come to invite me to drink tea tonight."
Lao Liu then spoke.
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
"The house of this shop used to be owned by a red-haired man. The old man paid more than half of the profit every month as rent."
"Often after working hard for a year, I can't save much money even if I work hard from dawn to dusk, so I end up working for Hong Mao!"
"Now that the military government has come, so has Qingtian. A few days ago, the officials of the military government said that since I have been renting this house and doing business for many years, as long as I continue to pay the rent for five more years, then
This house is mine."
"The rent the military government wants is only half a silver dollar per month, which is much less than the rent that damn Hongmao wants."
“This is a day I’m looking forward to!”
"After I save a few years of money, I can find a wife for my son!"
"The officials of the military government are all good people, they are all Lord Qingtian!"
"It's just a breakfast, I can afford it!"
Everyone talked about the good news of the Liberation Army.
"Yes, the bully red-haired landowner has been caught, and my family doesn't have to pay back the loan sharks we borrowed at high interest rates. The land we have rented for several years will be mine from now on as long as we pay the grain every year."
"Moreover, I heard that the military government is going to demolish all the red-haired churches and build academies so that all the children can read and learn. If any family doesn't let their children go to school, the head of the family will be slapped with a blackboard.
!”
"..."
Jia Fuzi stroked his beard and said.
"What does this mean? The military government is really good to the soldiers!"
"I read the military government's recruitment policy yesterday. If you join the army, you will be divided into fields."
"When a top soldier completes recruit training, he will have fifty acres of mature farmland. After five years of service in the army, these fifty acres of farmland will be yours."
"If a disabled soldier is discharged from the army, the military government will provide an additional 20 acres of pension, and will also give priority to disabled soldiers to serve as local grassroots officials."
"If he died in battle, the military government's pension to the families of the fallen soldiers would be an additional fifty acres. Adding it all up, it would be one hundred acres."
"If this hundred acres of land were in the Central Plains, it would be considered a first-class wealthy family, and they could afford to support their children in studying and taking the imperial examinations."
"If a family can have a successful candidate, it will be considered a scholarly family!"
"No wonder the Liberation Army is so powerful!"
"One life can be exchanged for a hundred acres of fertile land. Who has seen such a good thing and not be moved? I can't help but be moved!"
"With such generous compensation for those who died in battle, most of the soldiers of the Liberation Army went to the battlefield. Naturally, no one was afraid of death and everyone dared to fight for the lead."
"This is just for military service. In addition, the big soldiers also receive military pay. Once a month, it is 100% pure silver."
"After retiring from the army, the military government will also be responsible for resettlement and use retired soldiers to serve as local officials."
"Coupled with good food, adequate training and armaments, this Liberation Army will naturally be the best in the world!"
"If I weren't really old, the Liberation Army wouldn't want my old bones. Haha, I would also like to go to the battlefield to serve the country!"
Old Liu on the side asked.
"Master Jia, are you really treated so well as a soldier for the military government?"
Old Liu had another bold idea. Originally, he wanted his son to take the imperial examination and become an official.
