Douluo: Build the strongest empire, I am invincible

Chapter 79 The treatment of soldiers in the Star Luo Empire

When they arrived at the door of their house on a certain street, a young man held a very rough long sword in his hand and said to his mother.

"Mom, I'm going to join the army. When I become an official soldier, we can live a good life."

"Can't you go?"

"But joining the army this year will give you very good benefits. Our family's land tax can be reduced by 50%. If there are no more people like me, mother, you will be able to have enough to eat. And if I am really injured or killed in the battle, . The state provides a preferential subsidy of five gold soul coins, and our house can be replaced. Mother, you don’t have to worry, you will get caught in the rain on rainy days."

"Okay, then you must be careful. Don't fight and fight fiercely in the army. It's enough to come back safely."

"Don't worry, mother, I understand."

Immediately afterwards, soldiers from various places were transported to one place and trained uniformly.

"Defending the home and the country is everyone's responsibility."

"Fighting against rebels is everyone's responsibility."

"Now joining the army can reduce your tax burden by 50%, and those who are literate can also receive two more Gintama coins every month."

"Do you want to become a general? Do you want to have glory and wealth? Join our Pingping Army, kill the rebels, gain military exploits, and enjoy the glory and wealth."

"Do you want me to be a big shot like a border guard general and join our border guards to guard the border and protect our country? Everyone has a responsibility."

Various military camps have their own recruitment slogans, and they are shouting crazily.

Seeing the good treatment of the Star Luo Empire on the sky, many people gradually understood why the Star Luo Empire could have nearly 900 million troops.

The treatment of ordinary soldiers is already quite good in the entire Douluo Continent. No wonder they can have such a large army.

No wonder the king of the Star Luo Empire always thinks about making money.

To cultivate such a large army, the money and pensions required every year are astronomical.

"Indeed, compared to the Tiandou Empire, the Silla Empire has a 50% reduction in taxes, a 20% increase in military rewards, and post-war pensions. It is also quite rich. There are actually five gold soul coins, which is enough for a family. Three mouths have been used for half a year.”

“Is this where the draft is going to be broadcast?”

"Hahaha, did you see it? Our Star Luo Empire army is invincible wherever we go."

"Yes, the military treatment of the Star Luo Empire is indeed quite good. No wonder they can recruit so many troops, and there are so many young men willing to serve in the military."

"No, you call this good treatment?"

"What the hell? Isn't the treatment for joining the army in the Star Luo Empire not good?"

"Haha, maybe it's good enough for us, but have you forgotten that the Sun and Moon Empire is rich? Maybe their military pay or other treatment will be better."

"When you say that, that's true. Who calls people rich?"

The two people in the sky were discussing sourly.

Boss Bai looked at the discussion between the two and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something else, but there were so many things he could say that he didn't know where to start.

Forget it, let's keep watching.

The Star Luo Empire's military treatment is indeed relatively good.

Moreover, the real corruption in the Star Luo Empire is only at the core level. Some generals and petty officials are still very good.

Many serving officials and generals.Occasionally, they would come down to observe the sentiments of the people. This action also made the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire solidify their military morale.

This move can also shorten the distance between each other, move the people very much, and further consolidate the country's rule.

If not, the number of rebels in the Star Luo Empire would only be much larger.

The only pity is that the king of the Star Luo Empire doesn't do anything serious and only knows how to prepare for the reproduction of future generations.

But he couldn't bear the awesomeness of his generals, so he helped him maintain the safety of the entire dynasty.

They will even try to solve some people's livelihood problems as much as possible.

Many people don't want to rebel, they just don't want to involve the officials in office.

After all, although the king is very corrupt, these officials in office still treat them very well.

Therefore, there are also many people who responded to the conscription.

This also resulted in the number of Star Luo Empire's troops hovering around 600 million.

You must know that there were not many rebels at that time, and the reason why there was such a large army was also because.The border between the Silla Empire and the Tiandou Empire is very narrow and requires a large number of troops to guard it.

And because the overall strength of the generals is not good, there is no titled Douluo sitting in the south like the Tiandou Empire, so many pirates will harass them from time to time.

This also leads to the fact that the safety of the seaside can only be maintained through the number of troops.

Of course, there are not only commoners in these videos, but also nobles, or gilded children sent by wealthy businessmen.

They just want to fight in a few battles safely, and then they can retire smoothly after gaining a few merits and a small title.

Then I can get some money every month and go home to inherit my father's title.

Moreover, it is easy for such people to occupy high positions. The key is that there are many of them.

This also makes the promotion path for many ordinary soldiers very difficult.

With the same military merit, it is often the sons of wealthy businessmen or nobles who are more likely to advance.

But no one found anything wrong with this scene.

Even when it was played to this point, there was not a single comment about this issue in the barrage.

They were also the source of preparation for these armies.

"The military industry system of the Star Luo Empire is indeed quite good. It would be even better if the Tiandou Empire could learn from it. Moreover, their welfare benefits are so good. If the Tiandou Empire implements it in this way, it would be great. It can gain more support from the people.”

"Indeed, I have seen many nobles and forces raise private armed forces, but with such good treatment, the Star Luo Empire can indeed be ranked among the top three."

"If it hadn't been for a coup a few years ago that put those treacherous ministers in power, otherwise, the current Star Luo Empire would not have experienced civil strife."

"Haha. In the previous video, it wasn't just the ministers who had problems, right? The king of the Star Luo Empire was also to blame for this so-called turmoil."

"Indeed, the traitor is in power. Not only does he not clean up the court and bring peace to the people, but he also colludes with those people to plunder the people's hard-earned money."

"Didn't the previous video play it very clearly? I have to say that the Star Luo Empire has not yet been destroyed, and it cannot do without those loyal ministers and good generals."

"Perhaps the king of the Star Luo Empire is not as corrupt as we think, or he has other hidden agendas."

Many people passed through the previous video.I have seen a lot of things, and everyone has their own conjectures.

Nowadays, the prime minister of the Star Luo Empire is named Xu. The Xu and Dai surnames are both families that have been inherited from the Star Luo Empire for thousands of years. The two families have always been fighting openly and secretly.

A coup a few years ago brought a new emperor to the throne of the current Star Luo Empire, but the power fell into the hands of the prime minister.Ever since he ascended the throne, His Highness the Crown Prince, who had always had a good reputation, suddenly became immersed in wine and sex.

Over the past few years, this has caused the prime minister to slowly relax his vigilance towards Dai Lumao.

As long as he contributes enough money every month, practices some palaces, and puts some beauties into the palace, he will never care about national affairs, and all matters will be left to him, the prime minister, to handle.

He didn't even care when his son ran away from home.

Under this video, there are also many people with rich life experience, and they also guessed another possibility.

The first video only showed the corruption at the top of the Star Luo Empire, but as for everything that had happened before, it was never shown.

Just countless images of soldiers rebelling were played.

Now, this video mainly reflects the question: Where did the soldiers come from?

Nowadays, the main enemies of the Star Luo Empire are the Tiandou Empire in the north and the pirates in the south.

But the southernmost cities have gradually begun to resist.

The number of rebels is as high as 10,000+.

Most of these people evolved from farmers.

"We want food, why do you charge such a high food tax? And what about the customs tax? Why have you never collected it before?"

"To keep us safe, you must also keep us fed."

"What's going on with the officials in the capital? Why are we the only people in the south having to pay customs duties? It's not fair and we have to protest."

"Come on, they are high-ranking officials, why do they care about the lives of us civilians?

"Since we are not allowed to live, then we will rebel! Prince and General Xiang Ning has the guts!"

"You find that among the people who are not rebelling, it seems that there are a few people who are deliberately inciting people to rebel. Sure enough, it is all a conspiracy."

Many sharp-eyed people saw the situation clearly in an instant.

These people who could not afford to eat became soldiers and continued to expand the scale of the war.

Many people died in the war.

Immediately afterwards, more people who could not afford to eat came one after another to fill the number of rebels.

Even the more you kill, the bigger it becomes.

The cities in the south were in misery. Not only did they have to face attacks from pirates, but they also had to face attacks from their compatriots. However, the military expenditures provided by the upper class became less and less, so they could not help but levy military expenditures from the people.

But the already poor people couldn't afford much money at all.

When they can no longer afford to eat, they will become rebels.

When the King of the Star Luo Empire heard the news, he didn't care how many soldiers died. He only cared about how many gold soul coins he could receive in a month.

Seeing the king being so careless, many soldiers who were originally passionate about serving the country gradually cooled down.

But there are still many people who believe in their king.

After the soldiers on the front line died, more soldiers came to fill their vacant positions, and these soldiers entered the war again.

However, as the number of casualties increased, the number of rebels became larger and larger, while the number of their troops became smaller and smaller.

In just a few months, the casualties on both sides exceeded 100 million.

As the casualties mount, so do all sorts of things.

When these generals looked at their king again, they found that their king was still singing and dancing there, not caring about world affairs at all.

Even the funds allocated by the state are getting less and less.

Without money, they can hardly move forward.

Many soldiers saw that they could no longer get military pay and became deserters.

As for the remaining group of people, someone finally had a small idea in his mind, and he extended his hand to the pension.

He is just a small officer, he doesn't have much military pay, and now his military pay is even less.

He still has a family to raise, but how can he afford so much money?
The military pay in front of them was given to the families of the deceased. Anyway, they didn't know the news of their loved ones dying in the war, so they just used the money for themselves.

Gradually, this phenomenon spread from ten to ten.

As a result, the junior officers in the entire military camp gradually stopped thinking about the soldiers and instead sought personal gain for themselves first.

This has resulted in many family members not even receiving a word of comfort, let alone pensions.

Someone else seized this opportunity and took the opportunity to incite the emotions of these low-level soldiers.

This also caused the troops that originally belonged to the Star Luo Empire to defect and become rebels.

"It is undeniable. The real soldiers of the Star Luo Empire are indeed very passionate, but these soldiers have not received special training, and their loyalty to the Star Luo Empire is not even as high as money."

"This is already quite good. Dai Lumao has never consulted on the training of new recruits in these years. The current political environment over there is like this. Although they have a long history, they don't have much due to frequent wars. resources and money.

It's not even close to being wealthy, not to mention that there are countless forces secretly wreaking havoc. Being able to gradually erode the current rebels is the limit of what they can do. "

"Rebel No. [-]: Your Majesty, is it true that you were blinded?"

"Could it be that our resistance was the result of someone with evil intentions?"

"Who is it? He actually mobilized our soldiers to attack our compatriots."

"We were once the people, and the people are innocent. No matter what, we can no longer continue to wage war."

"Chu Qiao: I think you can negotiate with the regular army. Don't worry anymore. Someone will incite people to rebel in the future."

"Rebel No. [-]: Your Majesty, the King of the Sun and Moon Empire, what do you mean?"

"Chu Qiao: The leader of the organization that instigated the war between you two has already mined in our Sun and Moon Empire."

"What, is this true?"

"Who is he? He is so vicious."

"It's a pirate at sea, and their leader is a titled Douluo. Their purpose should be to encroach on the territory around you and further encroach on the entire Star Luo Empire."

"That said, I seem to have an impression. In this way, it can explain why every time we have a battle with the regular army, the pirates always take the opportunity to plunder."
