Of course, this is not to say that all aristocratic families under the Huai army will be wiped out. This is unrealistic, because no matter what era, there will be different classes.

In the peaceful era of the original world, there are still many masters, not much different from the aristocratic families in history.

The difference between the two sides is that the aristocratic families in the new era are not so overbearing, and they have not blocked all the channels for the lower classes to upgrade their ranks.

One of the most notable characteristics of a healthy and long-lived regime is that people can continuously upgrade their social status, the upper and lower channels are relatively smooth, the old and the new are absorbed, and the cycle is repeated.

The aristocratic families under the rule of Soochow controlled power, and most of the civil servants and military generals in the Soochow Dynasty were from aristocratic families, while the generals from poor families and rural backgrounds were basically known for their bravery, and their identities were thugs.

With strong force, they can have a certain status in Soochow in a short time.

But when they died in battle or illness, the descendants of their descendants immediately declined, and could no longer reach the height of their parents, and they would not be regarded as their own by the well-known families passed down through the scriptures.

This kind of Jiangmen family can only last for two or three generations, while the aristocratic family can last for five or even ten generations.

That’s not to mention, the aristocratic families who can rule the world with the monarch, the servants under their names, the land and forests they annexed, through various means, rarely pay taxes to the government.

They do not pay taxes, and the cost of government ruling the world is slowly transferred to ordinary people. As the land of ordinary people is annexed by these wealthy families, the fate of the dynasty is slowly coming to an end...

It's not that Wang Jing can't tolerate the existence of aristocratic families, but he can't accommodate such aristocratic families who are almost semi-separatist and can even break arms with the monarch.

Among these aristocratic and wealthy families, there must be real famous families who are kind to others, but these are only a minority.

The hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland under their name, the continuous tea hills, and mines, cannot be given by others... The famous and powerful families in history may be good at the beginning, but the second and third generations will Unsatisfied with the family business, he embarked on the road of land annexation and concealing his household registration.

Gao Yan, Cen Wenwen, and even Chen Qingzhi all understood what Wang Jing meant.

Chen Qingzhi, a famous general who had just defected to Huai Army, wandered around the various cities of the Huai Army for a while, and he recognized Wang Jing's political philosophy and the governance effects of the prefectures and counties under the Huai Army's rule.

Under the rule of the Huai army, there are several famous families that have emerged, including the Qiao family of the queen's natal family, the Bu family behind Bu Zhi, and the Lanling Xiao family represented by Xiao Yuanming...

There are also some famous families from various eras, but their status and reputation are far inferior to these three.

Even these three famous families.

When doing business, you have to pay taxes as usual. The only place where you don't have to pay taxes is the juetian bestowed by Wang Jing.Jue Tian has a fixed number, so there is no need to worry about tricks and the like.

"I don't know, Your Majesty, are you going to let that general lead the troops to sweep the city of Soochow?"

Gao Yan asked.

Wang Jing said: "Let General Yuwen and General Zhang Hao lead the troops. Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Hao respectively lead the Chinese army as commanders-in-chief. Each leads [-] elite soldiers to the south. Yuwen Chengdu attacks Kunshan, and Zhang Hao attacks Taicang..."

The Chinese army has a total of 60 soldiers, but part of them are naval divisions, which are used to ensure the retreat of the Chinese army.

There are still 20 soldiers and horses to stay in the Changzhou camp to stabilize the frontal battlefield.

Nearly 20 soldiers and horses can also be distributed.

The strength of the Huai army is very strong, no matter how the troops are divided, there will be spare power.

However, Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Hao are not weak in personal strength, but their ability to lead troops has yet to be verified.We can only give them [-] soldiers and horses first, so as not to cause waste of troops.

For two generals whose strength has reached the ninth rank, these troops are enough.

"It's okay for the king to send [-] troops to the south. I have been worried that Liu Yu will suddenly lead troops eastward. If my guess is true, our army still needs another army to resist the opponent's offensive!"

In Gao Yan's tone, he was a little worried about Liu Yu.

Fortunately, Wang Jing allocated [-] troops and left most of the main force in the Changzhou camp.Not afraid of Liu Yu's sudden attack.

"Liu Yu will definitely send troops!"

Wang Jing glanced at the western sky, and seemed to be able to see Danyang City, which was far away, "If Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi can really watch us annex Soochow, then their vision is not worthy of the people in history. fame!"

"With Xiao Daocheng and Fu Youde stationed in Jiangyin and Wuxi, Liu Yu wants to attack the main force of our army. It's not that easy!"

Gao Yan, Cen Wenwen, and Chen Qingzhi nodded in agreement when they heard the words,

Xie Hui was a little silent when he heard the word Liu Yu.

Wang Jing and all the civil and military officials made no other changes except for the decision to divide the troops.

Wait until noon.

It's the cold wind in winter, and it doesn't look so biting under the sunshine.

A large number of soldiers began to cut wood and quarry rocks, and build siege equipment such as ladders and columbine carts. The Huai Army had many craftsmen, and the equipment was excellent.But siege equipment, except for catapults and crossbows, are basically consumables.

No matter how strong the family background of the Huai army is, they will not make the decision to use cloud carts to transport siege equipment for thousands of miles.

All the siege soldiers and horses are tools for cutting wood and quarrying nearby, and temporarily preparing for the siege.

Follow Wang Jing's instructions.

Before the siege equipment is completed, the main force of the Huai army will not move rashly. With the manpower and material resources of the Huai army, it will take a day or two to build the equipment.

During this period of time, Shi Wansui needs to line up his troops and prepare the order and plan for the siege troops.

The two generals, Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Hao, also had to count their soldiers, and when the siege began, they would lead their troops south.

Everything is being prepared.

Before Changshu went to war, Wuxi and Changzhou had already fallen into the flames of war.

Outside Wuxi.

The sky roared, and the wind and thunder shook.

On the ground, Yang Dayan personally led the cavalry and was rushing towards the army formation ahead. On the opposite side was also a burly man holding a big knife, dressed in brocade clothes, and with a bell around his waist.

Brocade clothes and copper bells!
With such an obvious feature, it is obviously Gan Ning, the general of Soochow.

"Fire arrows!"

Gan Ning personally stood in the front and commanded the battle, his eyes fixed on Yang Dayan who was coming from afar.There was no downfall in momentum.

His strength has also reached the top of the human realm.

With the support of the army formation, the confrontation with Yang Dayan was evenly divided.

Before the Earth Realm generals appeared, the strength gap between the ninth rank generals was not as big as imagined, because even the Heaven Realm generals could only display the strength of the Human Realm at this time.

And Fu Youde, in addition to leaving some soldiers and horses stationed in Wuxi, is leading another elite army and is galloping in the direction of Changzhou.

Because news came from Changzhou.

There was a change in Liu Song's soldiers and horses, and Liu Laozhi showed signs of leading his troops eastward.
