696 Chapter 696: Speech

It's a pity that these nobles thought it was Aslan's conspiracy, which made their command communication inconvenient.

It never occurred to him that Aslan's real purpose was to monitor the communication, and now the scope of monitoring is smaller and easier.

The efficiency of the noble council was unprecedentedly fast, but just before noon, all the nobles issued orders for the assembly of all private troops in the general's territory.

The Cleveland Army formed by the big nobles was divided into two divisions, each with 500,000 troops, and they went directly to the provinces of Assian and Buyik. The private armies of the minor nobles were all integrated to train the new army.

It's just that just after the general mobilization of the war was announced, news of the invasion of the United Army came from the province of Buyik, and they took down the area around the Kande Reservoir with lightning speed.

The mountain corps led by Kruse was the first battle, so they performed extremely fiercely, and the troops under the Duke of Kane were defeated steadily.

Today's Commonwealth of Cleveland is completely insane, and the appearance of new troops has greatly reduced the quality requirements of the source of troops. It is no exaggeration to say that the size of the army of the Commonwealth of Cleveland has exceeded tens of millions.

With such militarism, it is no wonder that the people of the entire Commonwealth of Cleveland have become more and more resistant.

The reduction in food production and the withdrawal of a large amount of labor force is a fatal blow to most agricultural-based families.

In the second line of defense of the Anti-Mei defense line, Shani stood in front of a collapsed fortress, where a podium was temporarily set up, and within a hundred meters of it, there was no one outside except the Anbu members.

Gudraf held the sword in one hand and stood behind Shani.

"Today's Cleveland Commonwealth Kingdom is dying. The people don't have enough to eat, don't wear warm clothes, and are still fighting among themselves. Their own people are beating themselves. This is creating opportunities for the surrounding countries..."

Mrs. Sharon and two mentor-level powerhouses stood vigilantly not far away, observing any enemies that might appear at any time.

At the end of the speech, deafening cheers erupted from the entire temporary square.

Many of their soldiers are illiterate, and they may not know much about the righteousness of the country. In their eyes, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the lord, as long as they can feed them and don't need to be hungry.

But at the end, when Emperor Shani called out to overthrow the old aristocratic lords, divide the land, and everyone can be a lord, there was a brief silence at the scene, and finally cheers broke out.

They don't know too much about national righteousness, but when they understand that they can eat enough in the future and become their own masters, they immediately have a clear-cut stand and follow the Marquis of Aslan to the death.

"Your Majesty! Will you really give us the land? You won't just give us the land, but the grain tax will be increased on purpose." Some military officers with some identities raised doubts in their hearts.

Shani was also prepared for this kind of question. He clapped his hands and said, "Good question. It seems that there are still people who understand. This will save me a lot of time to explain."

After Shani finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and a huge magic screen appeared in the square, and a huge photo appeared on it.

"Everyone look at this picture. The people who have been allocated land does not mean that the land is yours. You must cultivate it for five years. During these five years, you must abide by the Merlot Charter and become a qualified Merlot citizen. When you acquire these lands, the Marquis Aslan will issue you a farmland certificate, proving that this piece of land is yours. With this certificate, you can pass it on to your clansmen from generation to generation, and you can also sell it to the city hall..."

Seeing pictures and explaining, simple pictures and explanations made many illiterate soldiers nod while listening.

A veteran of the Duke of Durandal's army said to the recruits next to him: "Third brother! You have a bright mind, you can figure out how much land our family can get, and calculate the taxes that you have to pay in a year according to the tax your majesty said. How much food?"

The recruit nodded, and quickly took out his hands to count.

"The elder brother and second brother who are disabled at home, as well as the mother and sister-in-law, plus our two active soldiers, we can allocate eight acres of land." The recruit said in surprise.

"If the second elder brother had also married a wife and the eldest nephew hadn't died, we would have been able to share two more acres of land now."

When the old soldier heard this, he sighed silently, and said in a low voice, "Everything will be fine, and when I get back, I will marry you and my second brother Zhang Luo."

The recruit said again: "In the first five years, the food tax was four taxes and one, and four taxes and one was a quarter of the grain output. It was much better than those nobles and lords. After five years, it was changed to six taxes and one. "

The veterans also nodded. Although they serve as soldiers for the lord and receive a meager military salary, their real purpose is to enjoy the two taxes and one treatment for food. If there are no strong men in the family who serve as soldiers for the lord, the tax is usually three taxes and two, and they can only barely eat. With enough food, a harvest like this year will basically starve to death, or sell their children and daughters.

"Down with the old nobles and build a new world."

One of the captives, Nei Ying, suddenly raised his hands and shouted loudly.

I soon heard the response from a group of soldiers. Only the officers and professional representatives looked at everything around them in panic. Although they are not nobles, they are also a privileged group. Many high-level professionals also have farmland in their homes. Is it necessary to distribute it uniformly at that time? .

"Military officers and professionals, you don't need to worry. As long as you sincerely follow Marquis Aslan to overthrow the old nobles, your original land still belongs to you. After the verification by the city hall, you will be issued a farmland certificate..."

What Shani said made the officer and the professional feel a little bit relieved.

The speech was an unexpected success, followed by the entry of the United Army and the screening of soldiers.

This time it was Aslan's turn to appear on the stage, and Aslan in armor walked to Shani's original position, showed respect and performed a knight's salute, Shani also returned the salute very tactfully, with a look of affection for a monarch and his ministers.

Aslan stood on the podium with a serious face, and shouted loudly: "The three armies listen to the order: those who have parents at home, go out; those with wives and children, go out; those with only children, go out; those with wives If the father and son are both in the army, the son will go out; if the brother is in the army, the younger brother will go out. Those who go out will receive retirement money and leave the next day."

As soon as this order came out, the whole square boiled instantly, and many soldiers rushed to divide the fields.

Soldiers can be allocated two mu of land, while ordinary people can only get one mu of land.

"Silence!" cried Aslan coldly.

Crashing, the soldiers of the United Army wearing Melo A-type knight armor stomped their feet collectively, and the neat vibration made the whole square tremble slightly.

"Any more rambunctious people will be killed!"

Completely different from Xia Ni's breezy attitude just now, the atmosphere of iron and blood made the sergeants in the square quickly quiet down.
