Chapter 1133 Sir, I have a... (First update, please subscribe)

"War has broken out!"

It was not until the end of September that news from the cities reached the remote areas.

But this war is different from past coups. This time, it is a foreign invasion.

In fact, the war in the big cities lasted only a few days, but after the surrender of cities such as Lima, the war continued.

From September last year until now, the whole of Peru is still in a state of war.

The local military leaders, as in the past, mobilized the militia, brought mule-drawn muzzle-loading guns, set up their command posts in the town schools, and declared martial law after 6 p.m. The church priests were also there to encourage the people to resist the "foreign invaders."

"With what weapon?"

asked the Indian sharecropper in the church.

"With their weapons,"

The leaders replied.

A few days later, troops in green uniforms arrived outside the town, and then the sound of gunfire and artillery filled the sky. The leaders' resistance was broken and many people died on the battlefield.

When the firing squad fired shots in the square, a Ming officer was appointed as the local military and political chief. The captured resistance fighters barely had time to say goodbye to their wives before being taken captive, leaving their wives and children to their fate.

Then what?

People were surprised to find that these imperial soldiers in green uniforms were not a group of vicious people. They would not smash ordinary people's heads with gun butts, nor would they break into women's homes and rape them.

"We have a new master."

In the center of town, Aureliano heard people say that because the officer had moved into the old manor, according to past tradition, he would become the new master.

But soon, Aureliano saw the notice posted by the army.

"What! The land will be distributed to everyone?"

Like everyone else, Aureliano was stunned by the news. People gathered in front of the notice, they couldn’t believe what they saw, literate and illiterate people gathered there, and even the brave ones took the initiative to talk to the soldiers.

"Sir, sir, is this true?"

asked Aureliano, knowing that this man named Ma Chengli could speak Spanish.

"Yes, all the land belongs to the state, the land of the big landowners will be distributed to you, and all the tenants will get a piece of land."

"What about those who have only a small amount of land?"

“They will also get some land.”

"Is this true?"

"The Imperial Government keeps its word. Once the land survey is completed, redistribution will be made based on the amount of land."

"But how can the lord allow it?"

"The master is dead."

"But there are other masters."

"There are no more masters, and the imperial army guarantees the safety of you and your family. Under the rule of the empire, there will be no more masters to oppress you."

People finally understood that the foreign invaders in front of them, wearing high leather boots and carrying rifles on their shoulders, were completely different from the rioters or soldiers in the past. They might speak a different language, but they were generous and kind.

"All the land belongs to the people!"

“Leliano, can you believe this? Are they crazy? How could they give us the land? No Peruvian president has ever treated the Peruvians like this!”

Carol said from the side.

"This is not madness, this is not madness..."

Aureliano said.

“This is the Empire. I’ve heard it, I’ve heard it. I heard it when I was in the city. In the Great Ming Empire, everyone owns land. There are no masters and no tenants. Don’t talk about Peru anymore. From now on, I am Aureliano—I am an Imperial. A citizen of the Great Ming Empire!”

Everything that happened next was like a dream and beyond people's imagination. All the land in the town - whether it was land that once belonged to the lord or land that belonged to the church, was confiscated according to the law and then redistributed - more than half of it was distributed to tenants, and those who owned small pieces of land were also given a piece of land.

“All landless people should and must have a piece of land of their own!”

"He who tills the land shall have his own land, and he who lives in the house shall have his own house!"

In this remote town, such posters were posted everywhere, and Aureliano spontaneously became a propagandist - he posted posters everywhere and told people in the town.

"Gentlemen, now that the Empire has arrived, we can all get a piece of land of our own!"

"The Empire will give us the master's land!"

Overnight, those mixed-race people and Indians who had been tenant farmers for generations got their own land, and many of them instantly became loyal supporters of imperial rule.

Of course, those who participated in the distribution of land were not only the local tenant farmers, but also the soldiers stationed here. They were also allocated land, even several times more than the tenant farmers. No one thought there was anything wrong with this. After all, in the past, after a coup, the army came, and no matter whether they were Liberal Party, Conservative Party or any other party, they would surprisingly unanimously carry out large-scale murders, eliminating the officials, masters and their families of the old government, especially their boys, in one fell swoop, thus completely eradicating the roots. Sometimes their wives and daughters were also among them.

Then, the new master would swagger into the manor with bullet holes and tell everyone that he was the new master here. But now? The imperial soldiers told them that there would be no more masters from now on. Not only that, they also benefited from the rule of the empire. Each of their families was allocated land.

In this case, how could they not become supporters of imperial rule? Leiliano even took the initiative to ask Chief Ma Chengli.

"My Lord, are you married?"

"I have a sister, she is very pretty, and I will bring her to town tomorrow, if you like."

The reason why Reliano wanted to marry his sister to an imperial soldier was not only because they lived in the master's mansion, nor because they were allocated more land, but because these guys were not like the master's thugs, who were a bunch of guys who only knew how to beat their wives when they were drunk.

If my sister marries him, she will definitely be very happy.

Of course, he, Reiliano, is a relative of the imperial soldier, so from now on, no one will dare to bully him.

"Pimp... Pimp..."

Some people said this because of Aureliano's behavior, their voices were very low, because it was better not to make such jokes. Of course, some people's eyes lit up because of Aureliano's behavior, and they brought their daughters and sisters to the vicinity of the military camp...

What is the will of the people?

It’s actually that simple. This is what the people want. In the past, women would avoid soldiers as much as possible, but what about now?

One by one, they actively throw themselves into the arms of others, and if the other party refuses to embrace them, they may even feel sad. Why is this so?

The world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit.

In fact, most people are like this, they just seek benefits and avoid harm. It's just that it's more naked now.

After all, marrying an imperial soldier means wealth, status, and a happy life.
