Chapter 45 6 Contradictions abound

Tulayan will be put back, of course, because of Li Tianhao's order. However, Li Tianhao himself has some objections to this matter, because in his eyes, a military general like Tulayan has broken an arm, so it is better to give him a good time and kill him with a knife. But Wei Song confirmed that it was pointless to kill such a person, and instead of killing him, it was better to put him back in Yaji. With people like Tulayan back in Yaki, what will happen to Prime Minister Usubu? How should Kadir punish this defeated general? Whether Tulayan lives or dies, goes or stays, the entire Yaqui court will be in turmoil, far more valuable than killing him with a single sword.

Wei Song's suggestion was unanimously supported by the do-good men in the Dils army, especially Xenas and Jamo, who sang and cheered for Wei Song in harmony. Although Li Tianhao still felt that this was a bit too vicious, since it was a measure to destroy Yaji, he finally compromised.

In fact, since the capture of the Epsommiton area, Li Tianhao's troubles have not stopped, and he really doesn't want to bother with such a small Tulayan.

The successful capture of Napatis and Epsommiton was certainly a welcome military victory, but trouble ensued.

The first is the question of how to thank the Canor, who have greatly assisted the Dils army. In this battle, the Kanno helped Li Tianhao's surprise forces complete the operation to surround Epsommiton, and in the subsequent Battle of Ked Ike, the Kanno fought valiantly, with more than 1,000 people killed. This is a very significant loss for the Kanno people, who are already small in number. Although this loss did not threaten the hegemony of the Kanno clan among the barbarians, Li Tianhao still had to thank them for their merits. Thank-you gifts became a headache. Because Li Tianhao had promised Bodeka that as long as he gave up the city of Epsommiton, the nobles in the city would be allowed to leave with their property. Combined with the looting of Tulayan as he passed through the area, there was little treasure in the city of Epsommiton. As a result, Elaine, the leader of the Kanno clan, said that they could grab such things as gold and silver treasures by themselves, and she was more looking forward to food support than these things that did not help her tribe grow. This is even more problematic, for the Dils army has exhausted its food reserves in this battle, and if the surplus is given to the Cannorians, the garrison's food supply will be in question, and this year's harvest will have to wait for a long time. Eventually, after consulting with Elaine, an agreement was reached, and the Dils collected the city's treasures and gave them to the Canor. At the same time, the two sides signed a contract, in the future, the Kanno tribe no longer has to enter the area controlled by the Dirs army to plunder, and can directly buy or exchange the required grain at the lowest grain purchase price in Dirs. That's the end of it.

However, there are some hiccups in this matter, that is, Elaine handed over the power of the Canno clan to her younger brother Kidd, and she stayed with her husband Mueller. From this day on, Elaine also became a member of the Diels army, and the joke of Muller's cannibal wife became a joke within the Diers' army from this day on.

Secondly. After the capture of two areas, the question of the ownership of the land became apparent. The land was taken by the Tylesian army and the Palci army, so who should these lands belong to? Since Li Tianhao was nominally the lord of Palci, these lands naturally belonged to Palci in name. However, the political system of the Dils army was completely different from that of Palchi itself. However, Li Tianhao failed to persuade King Airul to change the political system, so what kind of system was implemented in this new land was equivalent to who controlled the land. On this point, even Captain Horondis, who admired Li Tianhao, showed an attitude of not being able to make concessions. Only Hector acted as if he didn't care about himself. In the stalemate of unsuccessful multi-party consultations, Li Tianhao finally put forward a plan.

Based on the two newly acquired lands, slavery was originally practised. Therefore, even if the decree of Palci is applied, there is no essential difference. Therefore, Li Tianhao proposed that the Dils rebels could hand over the seized land to the Palci soldiers who had military merits. But he could not give the fruits of victory to those who sat in Palci, so he decided to divide it. According to the merits of the generals, different areas of land were granted, and the rest of the land belonged to the Dils. The generals will be able to enforce their own laws as they see fit in their own land, and the Dils will enforce their own laws. At the same time, the inhabitants of these two lands were free to choose which lord's decree they belonged to. In this way, if the edict of Palci were more attractive, it was natural that more inhabitants would be happy to accept the edict of the Palci generals, and vice versa. And for the sake of their own interests, these divided lords will naturally come up with measures that can attract the lords more, and in doing so, the lords and lords can benefit. Since neither side can convince the other to implement its own laws, it is better to use these two territories as an experiment to see which system can better win the support of the people.

Since the Palci generals have all benefited, and do not have to share the results with the old Palci nobles, it is possible to gain more fiefs through the military exploits they continue to make in the future, so as to become richer lords than the old nobles, and have both honor and practical benefits, so it is difficult to raise objections again. And Li Tianhao also avoided sharing the gains with Palci and undermined his own political reform process.

Of course, Li Tianhao still took out a fairly large piece of land as the Fengyi of King Airul, and all the wealth produced on this land belonged to the royal family of Parci. Li Tianhao's purpose in doing this was to strengthen the royal power of the Palchi royal family, and at the same time to gain the support of the young generals of Palchi and the new aristocracy, so as to virtually suppress the power of the old aristocracy, and finally pave the way for Palci to promote political reforms.

For Li Tianhao's plan, Hector recognized it very much, as an emerging young Zhuang general, he had made enough merits in this battle to obtain a rich territory, and he didn't have a good impression of the old nobles, of course he accepted it gladly; The veteran Horondis expressed concern about this, although he also obtained a territory that was not inferior to Hector, but he was well versed in the contradictions within the Palci court, and he was still worried that Li Tianhao's actions would touch the interests of the old nobles, and they would definitely slander in front of King Arul, and Li Tianhao, who was leading the troops, could not tell at all, and he was afraid that it would cause trouble after a long time.

Li Tianhao was grateful for Holon Dis's suggestion, and he knew very well that Holon Dis was genuinely worried about himself. Through this battle, Li Tianhao's prestige in the Palchi army was higher, and these personnel who fought with him were rewarded with their own rewards, and the degree of obedience to Li Tianhao was greatly improved. However, in Li Tianhao's view, these are not problems, as long as the Dilce Territory is subordinate to the Palchi State, then these lands are naturally Palci, anyway, the political reform of Palchi is imperative, and the Palch and Dilce Territories who finally complete the reform do not need to divide each other at all, and now even if they are a little uncomfortable, it is inevitable, if the old nobles do not like it, they can go to the front line to make meritorious achievements, and the habit of receiving merit should also be changed.

In the end, Li Tianhao was faced with the problem of religion, and the seriousness of this problem was raised by Brooks, who had just surrendered to the Diers' army. (To be continued......)
