On the Moor, the Genoese concentrated their captured boats and blocked the river to prevent the rebels in the city from escaping from the waterway.

On the other three sides, except for one in the north, the other two sides were surrounded. The Civil Defence forces set up a saffolding outside the city, while the remaining rebels inside the city were terrified.

That night, a group of rebels took advantage of the darkness to flee from the north, and in the darkness the CDF gave up the pursuit with only a few platoons of guns fired.

At daybreak, CDF soldiers saw civilians poking their heads out of the city, and the few remaining rebels in the city had run out.

Because the city gate was tightly blocked by the rebels with masonry, the rebels fled last night and left the city with ropes. Therefore, it took more than an hour for the Civil Defense Army to open the city gate and enter the city.

The city is only a moderately large city, but it has strong walls. If the rebels are large enough to hold on to the city, Sean really doesn't want to gnaw on this hard bone.

Guarded by Nelson and the others, Sean was mixed in with the cavalry company, and if there was still a rebel gunman hiding in the city, he didn't want to be a conspicuous target.

Since the founding of the Civil Defense Force to design military uniforms, except for the dress, the uniforms of officers and soldiers are not too different, and only when they get to the front can they distinguish the difference between classes in terms of rank, because the experience of the previous blood in the north has taught Sean that this is extremely important.

As the Supreme Commander, Sean would never stand in the first row unless necessary, and that was the duty of the company commanders.

One of the commanders of the 21st Infantry Division, in which he once served, became a target for enemy hunters because he wore a gorgeous military uniform and was too far forward to observe. This division commander only served as a division commander for a total of seven days, and the vast majority of the soldiers of the 21st Infantry Division did not even know that they had such a division commander.

There were many corpses hanging from the trees on both sides of the street, and the stench was emanating. And in the ditch on the side of the road, many people died, mostly young men, with their hands tied and bullet holes on their bodies, looking like the tragedy that had just happened a few days ago.

And the dung of all kinds of people and animals is everywhere, and walking on the street is equivalent to stepping on a dung pit.

It's a miracle that there was no plague in the city.

When the Civil Defense Army entered the city, it immediately took control of all strategic points in the city, especially the gates out of the city, and did not allow them to enter or leave.

Sean orders Roland Hill and his men to disperse among the inhabitants to learn what it was like when the rebels took Moore City.

In the town hall, the building was empty, and there were various documents scattered on the floor, and Ensign Woodley was cleaning them up with a few staff officers, hoping to find some useful information.

The rebels fled in such a hurry that they were not even able to take with them the large quantities of food they had gathered.

Sean ordered food to be brought to the streets, and all residents who were willing to come out and clean up the garbage could get food for free.

The residents, who had been struggling for two months, finally got out of their houses.

Roland Hill reported that in the past two months, the city of 100,000 inhabitants has lost almost a third of its population, mostly at the hands of the rebels, with the exception of a few who fled.

In the name of borrowing, the rebels went around collecting food, in fact using violent means to obtain food from the population. Many rebel leaders took the opportunity to extort the wealthy, and if their demands were not met, they often hung themselves from trees under various pretexts.

It only took half a day for all the dead bodies on the street to disappear. The streets were much cleaner, but Sean was still not satisfied, and ordered lime to be sprinkled everywhere to prevent the plague from happening.

It was only after the inhabitants who participated in the labor that they really realized that they had been given a new lease of life.

Sean let his men rest in Moore City for a few days, as he requested, with hot baths and soft and warm beds.

The Moors were careful to deal with the Civil Defence officers and soldiers, and they were truly relieved when they found that the Southerners were well-disciplined and innocent.

The largest family in the city is the René family, which controls the entire city, including officials like the mayor.

Sean has already learned a lot about this family, and it is said that before the rebels attacked the city, the René family got the news in advance and decisively left overnight.

It is true that the nobility, although they had no duty to maintain local order, and most of the time did not have such power, but they enjoyed all kinds of privileges, and thus enjoyed prosperity and wealth, and when they fled without informing the citizens, they were bound to be disgraced by the citizens.

As for the slain Jared René, who was only a side branch of the René family, how he got mixed up with the rebels is a little puzzling. It wasn't enough to bring down the René family.

But Sean's complaint will still be, and he wrote a long letter, which was addressed directly to the crown prince. In the letter, he described the tragic situation of Moore in great detail, described the losses of the Genoese Civil Guard, and almost overturned if it were not for the lives of the whole army, implying between the lines that the position of the René family was very suspicious.

In any case, the crown prince, who has never met before, will plant a thorn in his heart and will definitely remember the René family, because there is Lieutenant Frank, the "overseer", who automatically endorses Sean.

When the rebels were defeated and fled, a group of "judges" and various "secretaries" and "advisers" sprang up in the city, all of which were directly related to the system of buying and selling positions.

When the rebels occupied Moore City, they became fat sheep in the eyes of the rebels, and they suffered heavy losses, not to mention their families, and many even lost their lives.

When the Civil Defense liberated the city, the dormant privileged people came out, and they all asked to see Sean, hoping to get a better position or special care in the city that was seeing order restored.

For example, some people want some compensation because most of the food and other supplies that Sean distributes to civilians come from their shops and warehouses. Some people asked for tax cuts for the next three years, but this request was really the wrong one, and Sean did not live here permanently.

Before meeting with the privileged, Sean publicly executed a group of rebels, all of whom were angry locals for the tiger, and the corpses were hung up in the streets again.

The meeting took place at City Hall, and the privileged people who had come to meet Sean couldn't help but feel apprehensive when they looked at the corpse outside.

Sean's tone was very unkind:

"Gentlemen, I sympathize with you for the tragedies that have been repeated in the past two months, the loss of life's assets, the loss of loved ones, the loss of their own lives, and the Moors have tasted all of them.

Now we, the Civil Defence of Genoa, by order of the Crown Prince, have regained the city of Moore, and the city is back under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Decree, which is a royal glory and a gift to the Lord.

But I'm not the Mayor, I'm not the Chancellor, I'm not the Prime Minister, and I don't have the right to compensate you.

As a commander, I have an urgent need to do now, and although the rebels have failed and fled, the city is still inhabited by rebels, who may be just a civilian, a peddler, a merchant, or even someone in a high position. These people provided intelligence to the rebels, helped the rebels persecute the citizens, provided them with money and supplies, and the rebels made the subjects of the empire suffer for every gold coin and bullet they get.

It's unacceptable, I need to sift through these lurkers, write down their names, and shoot them! You're all celebrities, I hope you can give me clues, and of course, I want those who stay in the city to keep to themselves. ”

The privileged were blinded at once, they were able to survive at the hands of the rebels, so to speak, forbearance, and in the face of losing their money or their lives, they wisely chose to keep the latter.

Although this was forced, everyone was more or less cooperating with the rebels to loot the entire city and kill the citizens. For example, what the rebels like to do most is to catch a celebrity, in addition to forcing the person to hand over the money, is to ask him to make a list of rich friends, and then the rebels will arrest people according to the list.

In the two months that the rebels have taken possession of Moore, this has happened countless times: if you ever hate someone, report to the rebels any property that may be hidden in that person's name, even if it is a false accusation.

Sean threatens to do so, when in fact he doesn't really want to do it, but succeeds in scaring everyone away.

So after meeting with the privileged people, Sean suddenly received a large amount of "help" money as a Moorish thank you to the Genoese Civil Protection for the liberation of Moorish City.

Sean handed one of the checks to Lieutenant Frank, not too much, only two thousand louis.

Under his special gaze, Frank pursed his lips and reluctantly accepted the check.

"If I don't take it, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this door. Frank joked unhappily.

He was not afraid of Sean, but he was very unhappy with the privileged people who had just left in embarrassment, these people were crying poor when they came, and some even deliberately dressed in tatters and pretended to be pitiful, but under Sean's intimidation, he took out a large sum of money in a blink of an eye, and he was very unbearable.

"Daniel, how many?" Sean asked his herald.

"Commander, 200,000 in total!" Daniel replied excitedly after counting the checks, "the Moors are really rich, they have all been looted by the rebels, and they can still take out such a large sum of money." ”

"No, it's only a small fraction of the riches, and if the tax collectors had worked a little harder, the finances of the empire would not have been so bleak. Actually, I regret that today's meeting should have avoided Lieutenant Frank. Sean said regretfully, "The check for 200,000 yuan will be handed over to the lieutenant and asked him to forward it to the crown prince." ”

Lieutenant Frank was surprised, and if Sean had left the money in the CDF, or even stuffed it into his own pocket, he could have pretended not to see it, because it was a normal operation. The faces of the rich people stung him deeply.

Sean is very good, because the crown prince is now a poor ghost.

Daniel said with a look of regret:

"All of them?"

"Haha, Daniel, don't feel sorry, the rebels have looted at least 2 million from the rich. Take a long-term view, rest assured, starting tonight, more people will send us money, and I am going to set up a military insurance fund that will benefit all our officers and soldiers. ”

Frank said: "Commander, I have to admit that you are a real nobleman!"

"Lieutenant, please tell Your Highness that we Genoese are extremely loyal to the royal family and the Empire!"
