Chapter 8 1 Chaotic Situation

It was early summer.

Of course, there is no concept of summer in Yaki, as the climate is hot and dry throughout the year. The so-called early summer season in Yaqui is called the dry season, which means that the grain is ripe and the harvest must be intensified, otherwise the Namra River will soon overflow and flood all arable land in the vicinity.

There is no need to worry about the eastern part of the Tiers, because the Namra does not pass through it at all, and the crop yield here is much lower than in the rest of the Yaqui, and even less than in the western part of the Tiersberg. However, it is precisely because of this that after entering the waterless season, the slave owner Jacob in the western part of the Dils Mountain is too busy harvesting this year to crusade against the bandit alliance entrenched in the east.

In a major battle at the beginning of this year, the 10,000 crusaders sent by Jacob were all wiped out. As a result, the leader of the Bandit Alliance, Chail, became famous, and the small bandits and fugitive slaves who had not joined the alliance came to defect, and the alliance army also took advantage of the victory to capture some small cities, further increasing its momentum and expanding its sphere of influence. The entire eastern part of the Tirs Mountains was now almost entirely under the hands of the Allies, with the exception of the area around the fortress of Vera, where Chidel was stationed.

The headquarters of the Alliance Army is located in the city of Essras, and the official residence that originally belonged to Viscount White Muolos is now divided into several pieces, and the cadres of the Alliance Army live in it. One of the small courtyards in the southwest became Li Tianhao's private residence.

The owner of the courtyard, Li Tianhao, is now 19 years old, with ordinary appearance, slightly curly black hair, and light wheat-colored skin, which is not eye-catching at first glance. The only thing that can be called special about him is that his left eye is black and his right eye is dark blue. However, among the cadres of the Union Army, he was recognized as a military commander.

Since the formation of the Alliance, all the victories of the Alliance have been the result of this man's plan. In several major battles, the credit for obtaining the head of the enemy's main general was established by his subordinate - Double-Sword Muller, and Muller became the most prestigious brave general in the alliance army, while the master Li Tianhao himself served by Muller did not achieve any dazzling martial arts on the battlefield. This was not a question of his own prowess, but rather the result of his deliberate concessions: too high a martial denominator would cause unnecessary concern to the Alliance Leader Zaire, so he deliberately made Muller the first general, and the reputation for defeating the Yaqui Raiders was left to the Alliance Leader Zaire himself. Of course, Chail was very satisfied with this, but the cadres of the Alliance Army knew very well who brought these victories, and Li Tianhao was recognized by the cadres of the Alliance Army, and even Drum, who had always been worried about the establishment of the Alliance, had to admit his command ability.

At this moment, Li Tianhao is leaning on the window and looking at the scenery outside, Bai Muolus has always spared no effort in the construction of his home, and it is not too much to say that this is the most beautiful mansion in the Dils Mountains. However, the beautiful scenery in front of him did not alleviate the gloomy fog on Li Tianhao's face. He has been upset by a lot of things lately.

First of all, there is the issue of the correct name of the Union Army, originally Li Tianhao intended to change the name of the Alliance Army to the Dirse Liberation Army, which means an army designed for the liberation of slaves, but practical problems quickly aborted this idea. After conquering several cities, Li Tianhao freed all the slaves and made them freedmen. In the beginning, this had a very good effect, and the vengeful slaves actively participated in the elimination of the slave owners, but when the flames of revenge cooled, the freed slaves did not understand how much difference the so-called freedom was from their previous lives, except that they would no longer be whipped by their masters. Accustomed to following orders, they have no idea what to do in the face of freedom, and they don't know what to do next.

Li Tianhao once advocated that the land be distributed to these freemen for cultivation. As a result, without the whipping of their masters, these free slaves were simply not willing to toil hard, and most of them chose to sell their land and then squander it with the money. As a result, land prices plummeted, and the urban environment was turned into a miasma, forcing the Coalition to reclaim the land again. As a result, the slaves, who had spent almost the same amount of money and had nothing to do, lost their source of livelihood and asked to join the army. But how can a man who does not grow food afford an army that grows ever larger? There were even many slaves who had become freemen who demanded to be sold into slavery again. In the end, the Alliance had no choice but to take in these slaves, arrange them with jobs, and pay them accordingly, because the harvest was approaching, and if they missed it, the Union's food supply for the year would become a disaster.

As a result, the Tier Confederation became the largest slave owner in the entire East. Although the slaves were given a better living environment, remuneration and some relatively free space than before, this was far from Li Tianhao's original intention. Therefore, Li Shi did not have the face to propose the title of the Alliance Army as the People's Liberation Army, and finally the Alliance Army was named the Dilsshan Righteous Army.

Li Tianhao was ashamed of his lack of thinking, and at the same time he was thinking hard about countermeasures. However, although he was very good at commanding his subordinates and commanding battles since he was a child, the subordinates he came into contact with were all free sailors, and their way of thinking was completely different from that of the slaves who had been enslaved for many years. Li Tianhao had no idea what to do with these slaves, they were obedient and cowardly, and they never thought about resisting or fighting for their independence.

Li Tianhao deeply felt his powerlessness, but at the moment, he really couldn't think of a better way, so he could only temporarily put aside some of his thoughts and pursue a temporary stable situation.

In addition to this, he also had to deal with a heavy daily business: the disposition of Yaki prisoners of war in the previous war, the movement of Jacob in the west, the inability to strengthen the fortress of Vera in the south, the reorganization and replenishment of new soldiers, the completion of training and equipment, and the investigation of internal Yaki spies, etc., there were so many things that were so sinister. After a few busy months, things finally got back on track, and Li Tianhao's pressure was relieved.

Just as Li Tianhao was enjoying this rare sunshine and leisure time, the third worry came to his door.

"Boss, boss, boss, boss!" The unconscious troublemaker trotted all the way into the yard and shouted excitedly, "I just won Lord Woolley!" ”

Li Tianhao looked at the panting troublemaker in front of him, who was only seven years younger than himself. Alam had been the most idle man in the entire rebel army in recent months, and no one would entrust affairs to a twelve-year-old. Li Tianhao originally wanted him to take advantage of this time to learn some culture, but soon found that no one could teach him at all, and the active Alam was not at all something that ordinary teachers could handle. So Alam, who had nothing to do, became a complete scourge, and every day in addition to finding someone to practice martial arts is to find someone to practice. Tatar also suffered minor injuries that interfered with his daily business, and the other leaders were almost invariably defeated by him, and the amount of work delayed was too many to count on the fingers of ten men.

But then again, Alam's swordsmanship has improved a lot during this time, and he has been able to fight with Woolley for dozens of rounds to remain undefeated, and today he was lucky to win Woolley, so he came back proudly to show off to Li Tianhao. Li Tianhao rubbed his swollen head, thinking about how to calm the young swordsman's enthusiasm. Because he was already well aware that by the time Alam went further, the only people who could practice as his opponent would be Mueller and himself, and by that time the situation would have made his brain swell just by the imagination.
