Chapter 113: Abolition of the Lordship System
After the Battle of Yashan, the next time was a sweep, tens of thousands of Albertan soldiers who fled were captured by the People's Liberation Army, and the southern cities that had surrendered to Kangden were also recovered one by one. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 He also knew that the southern cities would be destroyed regardless of whether they resisted or not, and as the power group in the city, of course they would choose to surrender without a fight, because as long as they chose to resist, Albertan's army would definitely slaughter the city after breaking the city to achieve the purpose of deterring the rest of the city-states.
The encounters between Heisen City and Readingburgh are a good test of Condon's iron-blooded methods, it can be said that Jing Ling indirectly caused the death of the 400,000 soldiers and civilians, so he hesitated to do so, but considering that there were still more than 7 million people in the kingdom, he finally chose to sacrifice these 400,000 people to save 7 million people.
This was a difficult choice, when Patch decided to sacrifice 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Rock Gravel City in order to lure the enemy deeper, he was very angry at that time, so he couldn't understand what Patch said about the king's inhumanity, and now he has experienced first-hand what it means to be a king's inhumanity.
In the prisoner of war camp, Haji looked angrily at the tens of thousands of prisoners of war who were forced to kneel under the sun, and the 10,000 PLA armed with repeaters surrounded them layer by layer, which made most of them show a dilated look of pupils, they had no hope for the future, and at the moment they were more like animals to be slaughtered at the mercy of others.
"Thunder, I beg you to kill these bastards!" Haji pleaded again.
Jing Ling showed an expression that was difficult to choose, although the vast majority of these tens of thousands of prisoners of war had done things that had lost their conscience, but some of them were swept up by the tide of war, most of them were teenagers in their teens and twenties, and they were caught on the battlefield when their worldview was not yet formed, some of them stuck to their bottom line, and some of them became devils in the war.
Yan Ming suggested: "I think that all the officers above the centurion should be killed, so that they will lose the backbone of cohesion and unity, and the rest should be incorporated into labor camps for the development of the empire and to give them a chance to atone for their sins."
Haji waved his hand and said, "No, kill all the officers including the captain and above!" ”
Yan Ming was stunned and said, "If you do this, there won't be many people left after a round of slaughter." ”
"People!?" Haji pointed to a group of prisoners of war and said viciously: "They are not human beings at all, we are slaughtering animals!" ”
The soldiers of the People's Liberation Army were also provoked by Haji's words, and their eyes were full of murderous intent when they looked at the prisoners of war, and when Kang Deng promised Jing Ling to release the tens of thousands of women in the military prostitute camp, no PLA soldier could forget their helpless expression, they were abused and raped in the military prostitute camp. Lewdness and insults, more than half of these women are pregnant with the evil seed of the enemy, if it were not for Jingling's order that they must be tolerated and given the right to live innocent lives, perhaps these pregnant women would choose to commit suicide.
At this moment, everyone realized why Jing Ling wanted to execute the more than 4,000 soldiers who violated military discipline in public, and the pain can only be deeply experienced in themselves, after several brutal battles, the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army understood their reasons for participating in the war, and also understood what honor is faith and faith.
"Great Thunder Emperor, please give these demons the punishment they deserve!"
"Commander Haji is right, these are brutes, we can't treat them as human beings!"
"Kill them and avenge the dead of your compatriots!"
.........
Jing Ling looked at the officers with angry faces speechlessly, and at this moment he was thinking not about how to deal with the prisoners of war, but how to maintain the stability of this new empire, which was a bit contradictory and ironic.
Like all founding emperors, he needed to rack his brains to consolidate his throne in addition to governing the country. In order to eradicate the separatist armed forces, he had to take the executive, the military and the judicial power in his hands, but how did he know who was loyal and who was dissenting?
He couldn't have known that the best solution was to get rid of those powerful ministers who had the ability to rebel, and those who had different intentions but were not able to do so were just clowns who could not threaten his throne for the time being.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but set his eyes on a group of officers, many of whom were military and political figures from the former Blackland Kingdom, and some of them even held high positions in the People's Liberation Army, and they were also able to take charge of themselves in the empire. If they form an organized armed force, then their throne will be seriously threatened, which is what the ancients called internal trouble.
"Thunder, what do you want to do with these prisoners of war?" Yan Ming stepped forward and asked.
Jing Ling was interrupted in his thoughts, he was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he said: "These more than 60,000 people can't be wasted, according to your suggestion, kill the officers above the centurion, and the rest will be incorporated into the First Army of Labor Reform and Ordnance Industry, a total of 60 teams, each regiment has at least 800 people, and then I will decide how these 60 teams will be distributed to various base areas." ”
After speaking, he walked in front of the group of prisoners of war and continued: "You are all war criminals, and we have a righteous reason to execute your lives, but the teachings of the gods and our innate humanity tell us that life is the most precious thing in the world, so we decided to give you a chance to atone for your sins, and use your hands to build this country that has been destroyed by you. ”
His words ignited hope in the hearts of the prisoners of war that they would be released as long as they had collected a hundred troops! This is undoubtedly a big cake that makes the prisoners of war hungry and thirsty, and in order to return home, they will definitely squeeze out all their exploitable value, and this is exactly what Jing Ling wants.
-
After dealing with the issue of prisoners of war, Jing Ling convened a meeting of the senior officers of the whole army, and the first thing to discuss was the issue of the imperial capital, knowing that Yashan City no longer existed, and the empire needed to establish a new political and cultural center.
After discussing for a long time, it was finally decided to take Lingdong City in the center of the land as the temporary imperial capital, and then Jing Ling cut to the point, only to see him look at the officers below with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "Although the strength of our army has been greatly improved, the lax military discipline and uncoordinated command are the most fatal problems, so I decided to reorganize the army." ”
There was a gasp in the audience, and the officers looked at each other, they all realized that a power purge campaign was finally about to begin, and most of them only hoped to be able to relieve power without bloodshed, but there were also a small number of careerists who coveted the throne of Jing Ling, but the greed in their eyes was extremely hidden.
"Ahem...... Jing Ling pretended to cough a few times, and the people below also looked at him appropriately, and the audience was silent for a while.
Seeing this, Yan Ming opened his mouth and said, "How do you plan to reorganize the army?" The reason why he was the first to break the silence was because he had no real power as Jingling's number one staff, so he dared to say what many people didn't dare to say to his face.
Jing Ling glanced at Yan Ming approvingly, and then continued: "Keep the soldiers who have performed well, control the number of troops at 200,000, a total of 20 divisions, and then set up a national strategic command military committee, chaired by me, and the senior generals in the army will also be absorbed, so that the human, material and financial resources of the whole army can be mobilized to the greatest extent, and every combat order can be quickly issued." ”
Yan Ming's body shook, he and Jing Ling glanced at each other, and the latter also nodded at him, at this moment he finally realized how terrifying what his followers had to do, but he still acted as a questioner, "Chairman, you have divided the remaining 200,000 soldiers into twenty divisions, I think the officers present will definitely respond positively to your order, but for the sake of the monarch, rewards and punishments must be clear, so have you considered how to reward and dismiss the meritorious soldiers?" ”
Yan Ming's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, this is the most difficult problem, if it is not good, it will even lead to a bloody coup, after all, everyone likes power, and some people will think of grabbing it if they can't get it, which also leads to all countries in history must face the Great Purge of Power after defeating the enemy.
Jing Ling took a deep breath and said solemnly: "All men are created equal, and the Creator has given them the inalienable rights of Nogan, including the right to life, the right to liberty, and the right to pursue happiness. In order to guarantee these rights, the people established a government among themselves, and the government was formed by the consent of the governed, and the purpose of the government was to serve the people, so I proclaimed the abolition of the evil lordship and the formation of local government by the appointment of officials from the central government. I want you to understand this clearly, another synonym of the state is the people, so anyone who tramples on the rights of the people is trampling on the country! ”
The audience suddenly resounded in an uproar, the establishment of a national strategic command military committee is not a big problem, at most it is an organization that gathers the heads of the army, but the abolition of the lord system is a big problem, which means that these army leaders will not be able to become the hegemon of one side, they will not be able to do whatever they want, and they will also lose their absolute command of the army and the right to rule the region!
