Chapter 507: Righteous Robbery
The 15,000 people originally brought with him were attacked by more than 10,000 people, but they also killed and injured as many as half of the six or seven thousand people, which really made Soros afraid.
If there had been more defenders in Kaiyan City, or if they had received the news and prepared for defense, then I am afraid that this attack would have ended in failure.
But fortunately, Soros also sighed, fortunately, Lady Luck is on his side.
Eliminate the garrison soldiers, and the rest is much easier to say. As for the civilians in the city, they honestly still have a sense of belonging to the Lannisters, because old Tywin is very good to these people.
Don't look at that old thing to kill the soldiers and civilians of other families, but he is quite generous to the civilians in his own city, and this time the southern unified tax increase has not been added to these people, it is enough to see that Tywin attaches great importance to the people of his city.
In fact, this is also how it should be, except for the Frey family's various exploitation of the civilians in their own territory, the others are good to their own people. Because letting the common people have a good impression of you and a sense of belonging is the basis for long-term rule.
And it was easier to do so when conscripting, in fact, if the Lannisters had already taken precautions, they would have been able to recruit some people from among the civilians to defend the city voluntarily, at least a few thousand.
Although these militias are not strong in combat, they are enough to stop Soros, a thousand and a half recruits. Therefore, luck is also an indispensable part of this success.
Of course, now that the soldiers have been wiped out, the remaining civilians will not be able to resist even if they want to, because without the guidance of professionals, the militia will not know how to act. If you just pick up the guy and fight, then there is no other use than sending him to death.
Soros is well aware of this, so he immediately imprisoned a group of bachelors and staff officers after capturing the city, preventing these capable people from coming into contact with civilians. In addition, the flagless army will not intrude and harm civilians in the first place, so the reaction of these civilians is not particularly large.
However, it is worth mentioning that Lannister Harbor, not far from Castle Rock City, immediately organized a part of the soldiers there to defend after learning of the fall of the city, which is astonishingly fast, and this can also reflect the superb combat quality of the Lannister soldiers.
It's just a pity that Reims Port, as a cargo port, has no city protection at all, and there are less than a hundred guards in total. So Soros directly ordered a thousand people to attack, and it didn't take half an hour to successfully destroy the resistance and capture the port.
The Lannisters used to be the richest family on the mainland, and this port has made a lot of contributions.
With a daily throughput of several tons, the port travels back and forth between the Free City-States and Westeros, earning a high price difference, and that's what the Lannisters do.
Now that the port has been taken by Soros, he naturally didn't think about making a deal or anything. To be honest, he's just having a good time taking this city, and if old Tywin wants to save him, he'll have to run away immediately. Otherwise, as soon as the army besieges the city and the civilians inside rebel, he will only have a dead end.
Therefore, with the idea of making a fortune, Soros immediately ordered to get all the inventory in the city onto the ship, and then drive the boat to Twin River City!
That's right, like Kaiyan City, Twin River City is also a seaside city. Although there was no port, it was enough to unload all the goods on the beach and let the soldiers move back to the city.
As for the safety of the road, there is a risk of being robbed by Greyjoy's group of Pirates called Iron People, but don't forget, it's all Lannister ships that go out!
The Iron Isles usually rob small families, but when they see Lannister's ships, they generally retreat. First, it may not be possible to rob it, after all, there must be a lot of soldiers on board. Second, the Lannisters have debts that must be repaid, and it is very worthless to annoy the strongest family in the mainland for some goods.
Therefore, the Lannister's ships have been unimpeded at sea all these years, and there will be no surprises this time. Ten thousand steps back, even if there is an accident, then Soros would rather burn all the goods and remain in the sea than leave it to the Lannisters.
The soldiers put boxes of goods from Kaiyan City on the cart and transported them to the port, and they were all excited. After all, this kind of open-minded robbery is still more exciting, and everyone is still standing on the position of justice, and there is no psychological burden.
If this were to be changed to another family, it was very likely that the property of the civilians would be directly robbed. But Soros didn't, he just ordered to move to the Lannister family's house, and the other civilians didn't move.
And even so, it took only a full hour to move the most valuable things for a whole hour. Among them, there are more than four million golden dragons alone, and there are countless other valuable objects, which should be said to be Lannister, and the things in this mansion are estimated to be much more than the vault of the Iron Throne.
When the move was almost over, Soros ordered a part of the soldiers who specialized in driving ships to return to Twin River City with their goods, and it is conceivable how much development the Flagless Family will get when they get this massive amount of golden dragons, and the Lannisters will be miserable.
Even if Tywin takes the city back in the future, he will see that his house is empty, and if he has a heart attack, he will probably have to be angry enough to have a seizure.
And this is also Soros's own idea, Li Lingyi's original words at the beginning were just "If you can take Kaiyan City, consume the life of this city as much as possible." ”
Although he didn't know what the life of the city was, Soros also knew that if he could take all these belongings away, he must have stolen some of the life of old Tywin. As for this city, to be honest, he also thought about the harshest burning of the city, but it was better to think about it.
After all, the Flagless Family has been taking the people-friendly route since its establishment, and although the burning of the city can deplete the value of the city to the greatest extent, the damage caused to civilians is too great, which is completely different from the Flagless Family's concept of human-text.
At this time, as the cargo ships left the port, Soros also showed a relieved smile, he wanted to take away not only the goods, but these ships would naturally not be sent back, a total of dozens of them, just to make up for the huge disadvantage of the flagless family - no sailors.
When he got back, he suggested that Ivey build his own port......
Soros thought to himself, and his beautiful vision for the future made him feel better.
As for the civilians in the city, they did not react much to the goods that were being transported. After all, their own property was not passive, and they were relieved that the flagless army did not harass civilians in the slightest after entering the city.
