077 Persuasion
"Krysztov, you have been living in Zhytomyr before, what is the population of this city?"
Hong Tiancheng finally got out of his corrupt sedan chair carried by 32 people, stood on the high ground outside Zhytomyr in a red cloak and was fully armed, and asked Krysztov beside him.
"My lord, the population of Zhytomyr was not large, but recently it has been ...... because of the war Therefore, a large number of rural people poured into the towns in order to escape the military disaster, and the city of Zhytomyr increased a large number of floating population, which is why I was able to pull out tens of thousands of troops before. β
When Krysztof said the word 'war', he couldn't help but look up at Hong Tiancheng covertly, Zhytomyr City can gather a large number of people, and Hong Tiancheng's Taiping army has definitely contributed to the rape and plundering of villages and towns......
"After I pulled out tens of thousands of troops, the population of Zhytomyr City is probably more than 10,000 left, and the influx of a large number of floating populations makes it difficult to count the population.
Half of Krysztof's tens of thousands of troops came from the civilian class, and the foreign population provided a lot of help to Krysztoff's original crusading army......
After hearing this, Hong Tiancheng asked with a surprised expression: "Isn't Zhytomyr a military town in confrontation with Kyiv?" It should also be the capital of this area, how can it have a population of 10,000? β
Krysztof looked stunned, thought for a while and replied: "My lord, the city with a population of more than 10,000 is already a big city in the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, after all, most of the residents in the city are handicrafts and shop helpers, coolies, etc., the farmers who occupy the majority are scattered in the vast rural areas, forming settlements and villages and towns, as well as small towns, the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania is located in the Great Plain of Eastern Europe, the land is fertile, so the population is very scattered, and the urban population is far less than that of Western and Central European countries.
If it weren't for the Cossack uprising led by Khmelnitsky, which contributed to the city of Kiev, Zhytomyr would have gathered a lot of troops, and its permanent population would not have reached even 10,000. β
"Well, I see...... Zhytomyr has a population of only 10,000, and most of the previous main forces have been taken away by you, and your brother has also been scared away by us, so the city must be very empty at this time.
Krysztov, are you sure to convince the people of Zhytomyr to reduce the number of soldiers? β
Hong Tiancheng looked at Krysztof with deep meaning.
"This ......" Krysztov saw Hong Tiancheng's eyes, and immediately said categorically: "Lord Shenzi is worthy of being the lord of benevolence and righteousness, and his subordinates are willing to go to Zhytomyr City in person, and persuade the people stationed in the city with my little face in the past, my elder brother General StanisΕaw Koniecpolsky has taken away all his henchmen, and now Zhytomyr City is only a small person in the past, and he has been controlled by me, and the certainty of persuasion is still great, but ......"
"Krysztov, as long as you can let my Taiping army enter the city without losing a single soldier, you can mention the conditions!" Hong Tiancheng smiled magnanimously.
"Miko-sama, my subordinates are worried that the people in Zhytomyr will be treated unfairly after the surrender of Kaesong, so I beg your lord to maintain the original order in the city after entering the castle."
Krysztof replied in a deep voice, normally speaking, the invaders would open their minds to those who took the initiative to open the city and surrender, and there were few examples of deliberate retaliation, but Krysztof suspected that the summoning ceremony of the Taiping army might require a ritual similar to a blood sacrifice, so he wanted to test Hong Tiancheng's mind.
If the expansion of the Taiping Army really needs to be achieved by slaughtering human beings, Krysztof will naturally not hang himself on the big tree of the Taiping Army anymore, summoning the army is very awesome, but if he stands on the opposite side of all mankind and slaughters all the way, sooner or later he will become the public enemy of mankind.
Even if the Taiping Army wins by luck in the end, there is no population and empty land, there is no difference between human society and destruction, and naturally there will be no hope for the future, Krysztof is willing to follow Hong Tiancheng, not to destroy the world, but to achieve a career, so that he can leave a name in history and glorify his ancestors!
Destroying the world is such a thing, except for the kind of people whose hearts are extremely twisted, no ruler will do it.
Conquest is to give oneself the right to oppress others, if you kill them all, who will the ruler oppress, who will drive him to provide for his own luxurious life?
Slaughtering cities and exterminating ethnic groups is just for the sake of victory and competition for the living space of the nation, and it is never for the sake of killing!
Of course, Hong Tiancheng, who is greedy for enjoyment, has never thought of destroying the world, he does all this to be a leisurely emperor, when he has nothing to do, he has an uncovered meeting or something to cultivate his sentiments, and when he has something, he beats children or something to show his military strength......
Everyone was killed, Hong Tiancheng was the first to jump out to oppose it, and he still counted on squeezing the sweat of the white slave to satisfy his selfish desires!
Of course, the most important thing is that Hong Tiancheng, the figure of a white beauty, has always been longing for......
The premise must be a beautiful woman!!
After Hong Tiancheng heard Krysztov's plea, an inexplicable brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he replied with a flat face: "It's natural that you don't commit any offense in autumn, but the management of Zhytomyr City can't continue to be handed over to outsiders, and as a conqueror, no one can take away what I should take!" β
"That's natural, please rest assured, the people in Zhytomyr are very aware of their situation, the Taiping army is already in front of them, and the people in the city who know the times still occupy the majority." While Krysztof breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, a hint of flattery naturally appeared on his face.
"Well, Krysztof you can get ready and go, I hope to get good news from you before it gets dark today."
"Yes, my lord, it is my pleasure to serve you!"
After Krysztof left, Hong Tiancheng once again confirmed to the Total War System in his mind: "Is it true that the peaceful occupation of Zhytomyr City will not lose the value of crime?" β
[Of course, Zhytomyr is a capital-level city, and the rules for counting sin points will naturally change accordingly, whether it is captured or peacefully occupied, the rewards of reputation and lottery opportunities will not change, and the gain of sin points is equal to adultery and plunder.
The capital city is different from ordinary towns and villages, it has relatively complete living facilities, can obtain basic self-sufficiency by controlling the surrounding area, and if the host wants to get more sin points, there is also an option, completely raze Zhytomyr to the ground, leaving not a single living person and no building left! γ
