The next day.
The sky was still dark.
The people of Haiying hurried out.
East, West, North, South, the four city gates were extremely crowded.
A huge notice was posted on the city wall, and there were people who could read explaining.
"The sect has lost."
"General, we really won."
The surrounding commoners could not believe it and were extremely shocked.
A literate youth cried out in shock,"The grain stored in the Wu Castle of the Main Sect is like the sea, and there are more than a million gold and silver. They are actually so rich."”
"Really?"
Instantly, countless discussions broke out.
"The notice clearly states that the Red Cliff Army has already escorted these supplies back and placed them at the recruitment site!" the young man said angrily.”
"The sect of the Assassins Organization."
"You only know how to exploit us!"
An old man holding a wooden staff roared.
The young man continued," The notice also states that once the Red Cliff Army annihilates the sect, we will be given land. Each household will be allocated according to the number of people. Moreover, it will be 50 per household. The third tax will also be spread out in the fields. There will be no additional fees.”
"Hiss."
Instantly, the surroundings fell silent.
A month ago, when collecting taxes, they heard that they were going to distribute land to the people.
However, if the Liu Clan was not destroyed, where would they get the land to give to the poor commoners?
Now that the main division's Wu Castle had been breached, the Red Cliff Army was really going to give them the land. It was simply like the sun and the moon changing their faces.
"Brat."
"What else did the notice say?"
The old man knocked on the ground with his wooden staff and asked.
The young man's expression turned fearful as he said," The Sect's defeated army has already retreated towards Nan Chang. The new prefect might send troops to help the Sect annihilate the Red Cliff Army. So, now that we're joining the army to support General Wang, every soldier will be exempted from the Ding tax and receive one mu of fertile land. There will also be an annual salary of three hundred coins. If we die in battle, we will receive an additional mu of fertile land.”
"New prefect."
"To annihilate the Red Cliff Army?"
"Then we won't be able to get a share of the land.”
"Not only that, the sect department will exploit us even more.”
For a moment, the surrounding commoners were shocked and furious. New prefect, exterminate, exploit, each word was like a blade piercing into their flesh.
"Join the army."
"Join the army."
"Join the Red Cliff Army."
"We want to divide the land and not be exploited.”
The people were furious. Their souls were burning, and their flesh was boiling.
The roar made the city walls tremble, and the burning will drove countless young men to the recruitment area.
If the sky was dark, then the Red Cliff Army would be the only light that could break through the haze. The Liu Clan's main force, Governor Zhu Hao, would be destroyed in the war.
I could have endured the darkness;
If I had never seen the light!
This sentence was the description of the people of Haihun.
In the past, he had been exploited, had no hope, and was reduced to a walking corpse.
Now, he had seen the army of justice and the possibility of dividing the land.
The new prefect Zhu Hao actually wanted to help the Liu Clan destroy the Red Cliff Army. It was as if he had taken away the hope of these suffering commoners.
When princes are angry, the world is in mourning.
In that case, the anger of an ordinary person today would end with a sword.
The crowd gathered.
Anger pierced through the clouds.
The anger of an ordinary person gathered into a sea, becoming a spark that swept across the earth.
At the recruitment site, carts of rations, rolls of silk, and mountains of gold and silver made the young men's blood boil.
After being exploited by the sect for so many years, this suppression was completely released.
The tables were arranged in rows.
The dozen or so literate scribes were about to fall asleep.
Qiao Rui saw the young and strong men gathered and instantly woke up.
"I want to join the army."
A muscular man said in a low voice.
"I also want to join the army."
"Join the army."
"Exterminate the sect!"
Countless young men gathered at the recruitment area and shouted.
"Line up."
"One by one."
Qiao Rui looked excited. She shouted," Line up and record your military status. After that, collect your weapons and pay. You must record your military status. This is proof of your future distribution of land."”
"Alright."
"Line up."
In an instant, the young men lined up.
For a moment, the sleepy scribe began to write rapidly.
From early morning to noon, until sunset, their wrists were swollen.
Household registration, population, age, all of them were recorded on a white silk that was several feet long. In the end, they would be compiled into bamboo slips and stored in the treasury.
Three days.
Only then did the vast momentum of joining the army come to an end.
After the reorganization, the 6,000 new soldiers had the aura of a fierce army.
At the Qiao Clan Estate.
Zhou Jin and Zhao Yi came again.
Qiao Rui rushed over and said,""My lord has already stationed troops on Feihong Mountain, and the remnants of the sect have been brought into the city by Zhu Hao.”
"Oh?"
Their eyes lit up.
Qiao Rui said firmly," There are only a few days left until the 8th of September. General Zhao will immediately lead the new army to support us. General Zhou will assist me in calculating the household registration and land property of the surrounding towns. When Nanchang is breached, the Lord will definitely fulfill his promise and distribute the land property to the people!”
"Here."
Zhao Yi turned around and walked towards the military camp.
Zhou Jin took a deep breath and said,"I hope the lord can take down Nanchang!"”
"Yes."
"The power of the people cannot be stopped."
Qiao Rui was uncharacteristically more confident than the two generals.
