Chapter 240———— Dominate the World
Chapter 240———— Dominate the World
Time flies, and a year later, the countries of the Calradia continent are already full of holes, natural disasters continue to occur in various places, and people's income is almost not enough to make ends meet, but the people who are in urgent need of recuperation have not been pitied by their monarchs and nobles, and more and more people are forced by taxes and conscriptions to take risks, they either flee, or fall into the grass, and make a living by plundering the caravans of the nobles and the country, and the more daring ones gather in the mountains and forests, gather a group of people, and then smash and rob the granaries and treasury of some rich merchants or nobles, Successful people use this as capital, and more hungry people come to meet each other, and over and over again, many of the growing teams even openly fight against the Empire!
The king and the nobles were furious at this, and they couldn't understand for a moment why these inferior people, who had been submissive for thousands of years, had learned to resist, and the only solution they had to negotiate was repression, brutal suppression!
The rebel armies in various places have been extinguished, and there is not one out of ten, and the Calradia continent has calmed down for the time being, but this is only the calm before the storm!
Because there were too many troops in the uprising, the major empires used a lot of manpower and material resources to temporarily calm them, a lot of money was invested in the war, and a large number of soldiers died on the battlefield!
The rebellion was quelled, but the king and the nobles were obviously not very satisfied, the money bags that had been bulging seemed to have dried up a lot, and there were fewer slaves and soldiers around them, and they were accustomed to a life of luxury and erosion, so they naturally could not bear it, and they thought of the culprits who caused this situation, so more taxes and levies fell on the heads of the people again!
People are left with only three options, either die, rebel, or accept the call!
Accepting the conscription of the nobles seemed to be a good choice, but except for a few, many more chose to refuse, and people did not have a good opinion of the nobles who had put them in such a situation.
People chose to resist again, and the continent of Calradia, which had been quiet for three months, rekindled the flames of war, and the wolf smoke continued everywhere, because it was filled with a large number of barely trained recruits, and the combat effectiveness of the aristocratic army had seriously declined, on the contrary, the morale of the rebel army had been high, because after seeing the tragic end of the previous rebels, the people who participated in the rebellion understood that there was no third choice or victory, or death.
Cities are constantly being breached, noble armies are constantly being wiped out in formations, and the rebel armies are fighting with the nobles for a while!
But after a long time, the nobles gained the upper hand again, and the reason was simple: a hundred-legged worm, dead but not stiff!
It's like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy and a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties competing to work, the young boy is full of energy, he can leave the forty or fifty-year-old middle-aged man behind, but he has not gone through the accumulated exercise, he has no long strength, and he will be tired after a long time, while the middle-aged man who has been exercising for many years can work slowly and leisurely for a day without stopping!
The rebel army is like a newborn calf, rushing and colliding, beating the aristocratic army without the power to fight back, but after a long time, they can't hold on, in the end, they are just a group of civilians who have no choice but to resist because they have no way to live, what can they do? It won't work to rely on robbery for all logistics, and it's naturally okay to grab it, but what if you can't grab it? You can't fight hungry.
This is an unavoidable problem, almost all the resistance forces have been defeated by this problem one after another, without logistics, there is no way to fight!
The nobles are not afraid, they have several generations or even dozens of generations of accumulated wealth, and in the moment of life and death, no one will hide their secrets!
The leaders of the rebels were almost desperate, but at this moment, aid fell from the sky, and a large amount of military pay and food were sent to them, and there was only one condition, to merge with them and continue the rebellion against the nobles and monarchs!
As the leaders learned, they were aided by the leader of the Ringing Horse Alliance in the area of Fort Sagecher, Karl, a legendary man who was the vanguard of the rebel army from the earth-shattering uprising of Salander many years ago!
The leaders agreed to his request, and after accepting the salary, they led their troops to be reorganized, whether they wanted it or not, they had to do it, and who made it impossible for them to make a new come!
Of course, it is more free to form an army, but you also have to consider whether the hungry soldiers under your command agree, those simple soldiers, their desire is only to eat well, defeat the nobles, and then go home and live a good life!
Karl mastered a considerable number of soldiers at once, and with the help of his deputy, a knight named Timmy, the various units of the reorganized rebel army advanced and retreated freely, and cooperated with each other properly, and the armies of the nobles who were beaten at once collapsed!
There were also a few dissenting rebel generals, who, after accepting Karl's money and food, refused to be reorganized, and Karl didn't give them any chance to explain, and directly mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress them first!
Carl hates this the most, hates itchy!
Half a year later, after a brave battle, the rebel alliance liberated the entire territory of Kujit, and the Saiga Khan was captured alive by Karlseng and then placed under house arrest in Achmor!
At the same time, Zhang Wu led his troops to revolt in the Gobi City, announcing his independence from the rule of the Swadia Empire, under his command, almost all the men in the hundreds of miles of fiefdom became generals, and the Swadia queen Aisona angrily sent troops to conscript, but the untrained aristocratic army was defeated in front of Zhang Wu's army, and a large number of soldiers took the initiative to put down their swords and surrender! The following year, the whole territory of Svadia was liberated, and Queen Asona fled, and her whereabouts are unknown!
In the same year that Svadia was liberated, Salander also broke out a large-scale peasant uprising, the leader was a man named Fox, who was also a high-ranking general who participated in the uprising many years ago, and now he has a large number of desert bandits riding desert horses, these people come and go like the wind, constantly attacking the noble army of Salander, Zhang Wu of Swadia and Karl of Kugit almost simultaneously sent a large army into Salander to aid Fox, at the end of the year, almost all of Salander fell, the new sultan, The son of the old Sultan Hakim, seeing that he was powerless to resist, surrendered in Sharez Kaecheng, and Zhang Wu treated him favorably, so far, the whole territory of Salander was liberated, and the army of the three-way uprising and one place were all under the leadership of Zhang Wu, and half of the Karadia continent fell into his hands.
The following year, the Nord Kingdom, which had an old enmity with Zhang Wu, organized a large army to attack the former Swadia region occupied by Zhang Wu, but the infiltrated force was discovered just after crossing the border, because a white horse with a baggage cart in the logistics had run to a large camp of the nearby rebels at night!
The horse was a white lame horse, and the barracks he had run into was under the jurisdiction of Ellene, the commander of the Second Army of the Rebel Army!
There was no suspense, the Nord Kingdom, whose elite troops were completely annihilated, was unable to withstand the fierce attack of the rebels, and surrendered half a year later, the king was placed under house arrest, and a number of nobles were demoted to commoners!
When conquering Sagoth City, two killers known as the Raptor Brothers wanted to break through, and were arrested by the captain of the special operations team, Kressie, and reported to Zhang Wu after finding out their identities.
At the end of the same year, Zhang Wu established the country, known as the Dacheng Empire in history, and everyone supported Zhang Wu as the emperor, called Wucheng King, and set the capital Sunuo!
In the spring of the following year, King Wucheng sent two armies, one led by Fatis to march into the Rhodoc Empire, and the other led by Ellen to expedition against the Vecchian Empire!
Alleyne won a series of battles in Vekia and it took a year to liberate it!
Fatis encountered some setbacks in Rhodok, after Zhang Wu mobilized a large army, with Bandak as the commander, the second army marched into Rhodok, and half a year later broke through the last main city of Rhodok, King Rhodoc committed suicide, and Rhodok was liberated!
At this point, the continent of Calradia, which has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, has been unified by Zhang Wu!
After pacifying the restoration forces of the remnants of the aristocracy in various places, Zhang Wu decisively overrode public opinion and issued an order to retire and return to the people, and nearly semi-regular troops retreated to the second line and became reserves! Receiving military training during the slack time, and working in the fields during the spring planting and autumn harvest, originally according to the Fatis they meant, how to maintain a large number of troops to ensure the peace of the country, but Zhang Wu disagreed, he meant that the people take food as the sky, and the people can only live a good life when they are full, and only sufficient labor force can ensure the food and clothing of the people.
It turned out that Zhang Wu's decision was very correct, and in the years that followed, there was not a single rebellion in the Dacheng Empire!
In fact, the people are easily satisfied, no matter who is in charge, as long as they can live and work in peace and contentment, it is already very good.
