Chapter 163: Chapter 3 of the Covenant
Since Lan Xian'er was willing to share the pacification and governance work of the Luojia River Plain, Xige was much more relaxed, and he, the marshal of the unified army, simply left it alone, personally led the army, and according to the plan, marched towards the two fortresses of Ovara and Giscol, leaving only more than 20,000 wounded and disabled troops stationed in the base camp of Abokra City, and the local army of the Luojia River Plain, which had not been at war for a long time, would not pose a threat to them at all, and what he was worried about was the counterattack of the Arad coalition army.
On the fifth day after Higg's departure, all the delegations from the eighteen cities of the Luojia River Plain invited by Blue Fairy arrived in Abokra City, and the representatives of each city were forced to come under pressure from the soldiers in the city, and did not dare not participate in Lan Fairy's invitation. With a delegation of six to 10 people per delegation, the scale of such an invitation is indeed extremely large.
Lan Xian'er did not directly take these representatives to the conference room of the Interior Hall in Aboqura City, but directly had people take them to the barracks and to the stands of the school's military field.
The representatives of the cities trembled, not knowing what this seemingly beautiful and gentle woman was going to do to them.
"My lords, some of you are city lords, some are council representatives, and some are representatives of the local squire, and I am glad that you can come. I invite you to this exchange meeting today to explain the misunderstanding and enhance understanding! I know that everyone is very dissatisfied with the Fifth Army's entry into the Luojia River Plain, and I hate the sergeants for looting supplies everywhere, forcibly buying and selling, and even openly robbing and wanting this kind of thing, and I am just like you! Before Marshal Higg set out on the expedition, he gave me full authority to act as the agent for the internal affairs of the Luojia River Plain, and asked me to do my best to pacify everyone. The first location of today's meeting is set here, and I want to show you a good show! ”
Seeing everyone looking at each other, they were puzzled, and they didn't know what kind of medicine this woman was selling in her gourd.
Lan Xian'er shouted loudly, "Bring everyone up!" ”
I saw that the three surrounding military camps lined up at the same time, and a column of soldiers and officers with colorful ties came out, everyone's mouth was stuffed with cloth, and on both sides were heavily guarded guards.
Lan Xian'er said loudly: "These people are all extremely evil, some of them are soldiers, some are officers, and there is even a thousand commanders, a total of 1,160 people, they set murder, murder and arson, loot the city and countryside, and even Jianyin women, I dare not guarantee that there are any of these people you know, and I also know that it is not only these people who do bad things, far more than these, but at present I can only investigate so many people, I promise you, I will continue to investigate, and will not be tolerated!" ”
"I know that officer, he ......" one of the deputies stood up and shouted, but seeing that there was no movement around him, he sat back down!
"Everyone, it's okay!" Lan Xian'er said with a smile, "These people all have military merits and have made great contributions to the Fifth Legion, you can ask people to take off their clothes at will, and see which one of them does not have a few scars and wounds!" But credit to merit, sin or sin, these people have violated military regulations, it is a capital crime! Military rules are ruthless, but I can't be ruthless, I will remember their merits, and I will treat their families well, but they must pay with their lives for their actions! ”
"Madame, are you really going to put these people to death?" One delegate asked, confused.
Lan Xian'er smiled: "What, don't you believe it? If you want, you can stand up, I let you do it yourself, pick the ones you know, and I let you vent your anger yourself! But I have said first, although they are extremely evil, but after all, they are soldiers of my Fifth Legion, soldiers with military merits, you can kill them, you must not beat and insult them! ”
More than a hundred representatives look at me, I look at you, and in the end, no one wants to stand up.
"If you suspect that I am using someone else's impostor, then I would like to ask you to imprison the sentence yourself!" Lan Xian'er said, "Bring the people in the first row forward and tear open the seal!" ”
More than 40 people who were torn off the seals gasped and coughed!
Lan Xian'er asked sharply, "What do you have to say?" ”
"Madam, we have nothing to say, please don't embarrass our family!"
"I beg Madame to let us make meritorious deeds!"
"Madam, please enjoy a bowl of wine and drink!"
……
"Okay, there is no bad seed, dare to act!" Lan Xian'er said, "Don't worry, what you have done is not as guilty as your family!" Come on, serve wine! ”
More than 40 soldiers brought wine bowls and put them to the mouths of more than 40 death row prisoners, who bit the wine bowl and drank it all in spite of the cold and biting bone.
"Slash!" Blue Fairy shouted loudly.
The executioner, who had been waiting behind the death row inmate, raised his knife and fell, and as blood splashed, more than 40 heads fell on the snow-white field of the school military field.
Most of the surrounding soldiers, including the death row inmates, were in tears, but more than a dozen of the more than 100 delegates who were watching the execution couldn't help but run to the stands and vomited.
"What do you have to say?" As the bodies of the first batch of death row inmates were cleaned up, and the second batch of death row inmates were brought up, Lan Xian'er then asked.
……
The same answer, the same drinking to kill the head, and constantly repeating such questioning actions, is as simple as eating and drinking!
But just after killing more than a dozen platoons, less than half of the time, the hundred delegates had already left, and they said goodbye to Lan Xian'er and went to the conference room of the internal affairs hall to wait.
Lan Xian'er insisted on presiding over the last batch, and the snow on the school military field had been melted by the hot blood, and the steaming blood slowly flowed around.
Lan Xian'er numbly looked at the corpses draped in white cloth on the edge of the school military field, sighed, and said, "Buried according to the specifications of martyrs, double the pension!" ”
"Yes, ma'am!" The equally numb guard replied with a shudder.
……
Lan Xian'er, who had cleaned up her bloody gas, changed her clothes, and came to the internal affairs hall of Abocra City, where more than a hundred representatives were already waiting in the conference room, and until Lan Xian'er arrived, the entire conference room hall was talking in a chaotic manner.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Lan Xian'er smiled awkwardly and said, "Originally, a noon banquet was arranged for everyone, but presumably everyone couldn't eat it." Actually, I'm the same, but I'm throwing up a little later than you! ”
The scene burst into laughter, and one of the representatives laughed: "Madame is really a heroine among women, don't let me have eyebrows!" With such a big scene, we are really scared! ”
Lan Xian'er pressed her hands, stopped everyone's noise, and said, "Since we don't eat anymore, then let's get straight to the point!" ”
Everyone sat down quietly, and Lan Xian'er continued: "Everyone knows that the entire Alasia Empire is now in a civil war, and what happened in the Luojia River Plain ten days ago is happening everywhere! I want to ask you, what reason does the Luojia River Plain have to be alone? If you have been to various places in the past few years, you know what is happening everywhere in the empire? I just want to tell you that the Luojia River Plain should be glad that it was our Fifth Legion that was the first to enter here, and I dare to guarantee that if other legions or bandits broke through the defenses and entered here, you think about it, who can stop what happened ten days ago? Before the marshal sets out on the expedition, you must let me handle this matter for everyone, I don't know if you can still accept my handling like this! ”
"Madam, don't talk about what happened ten days ago, or what do you really want to get in the Luojia River Plain?" One delegate asked pointedly.
Lan Xian'er smiled: "Is the Luojia River Plain the territory of Emperor Alasia?" Are the more than 20 million inhabitants of the Luojia River Plain the subjects of the empire? Is my Fifth Legion the army of the Emperor of Erathia? The relationship between the military and the people, Her Majesty has already issued a clause, and we don't need anything more from the Luojia River Plain! ”
"Madame said that we, the Luojia River Plain, are alone in the civil war of the Empire!" One of the delegates stood up and said, "But madam, do you know that since the civil war, the taxes on the Rhoda River Plain and even in Magaland Province have risen year after year, and now they are more than three times the pre-war taxes, and in addition to this, there are also labor service, military service, and donations under various names, how can the Loga River Plain be said to be alone?" ”
"It was done by the traitor Aradd, and it has nothing to do with Her Majesty the Queen or the Fifth Legion, and now that the Roga River Plain has been restored, it is back under Her Majesty's rule! Her Majesty is now at peace and can't take care of this place, so my Fifth Legion will temporarily take over here on Her Majesty's behalf! ”
"Madam, if you have anything to say, just say it!" One representative said, "There's no need to waste everyone's time around the bend like this!" ”
Lan Xian'er smiled: "Since everyone still can't believe us, then I'll make three chapters with you here!" ”
"Chapter 3?"
Lan Xian'er said loudly: "First, how to govern the Luojiahe Plain is all decided by the people of Luojiahe, and our Fifth Legion will only cooperate and will not interfere!" All officials and institutions will follow the current system, and we will never replace any of your officials, reduce or increase any of them; The second and fifth legions have increased their supplies at this end, and no soldier will come to you to ask for any additional supplies, and the taxes for the next year will be paid at half of the taxes of this year, and the eleven cities harassed by the fifth legions, no matter what kind of damage they may suffer, will have their taxes halved again in two years, that is, they will have to pay only a quarter of this year's taxes in two years; Thirdly, in addition to the existing military status, the Fifth Army Corps will definitely not recruit troops from the Luojia River Plain, of course, we also welcome those who volunteer to join the army, but the 180,000 local troops with the existing military registration must accept the reorganization of the Fifth Army Corps, still govern the localities, and do not directly participate in the civil war of the empire, of course, those who are willing to join the regular army, we are also welcome! ”
"Ma'am, are you telling the truth?" Many delegates stood up in surprise and asked.
Lan Xian'er said with a smile: "I can only say that if the Luojia River Plain is still within the military jurisdiction of my Fifth Legion, I can promise these three points, but the Luojia River Plain is the territory of Her Majesty the Queen after all, if Your Majesty takes back the governance of the Luojia River Plain one day, then the three chapters of the law will naturally be invalidated!" ”
"How can Madame guarantee the validity of the three chapters of this covenant?" One of the delegates asked, "If the Fifth Army only said this to temporarily appease the people, and then to do something else, we would be helpless!" ”
Lan Xian'er said with a smile: "Since it is an agreement, of course there needs to be supervision, tomorrow I will inform the whole army of the content of the three chapters of the covenant, and engrave stone tablets in front of the internal affairs hall and the barracks in Abokra City, there is no joke in the army, if the Fifth Army violates the agreement, how can we govern the army?" ”
"Yes, ma'am, we accept your agreement!"
"We accept it too!"
……
"However, I still have a word first!" Lan Xian'er turned her face and said, "If all the adults here violate the three chapters of the covenant, or the people under their rule make trouble, then it's no wonder that my Fifth Legion sent troops to take people!" ”
