Chapter 279: His Majesty the Emperor who is stubborn and self-serving
The wheel of history is rolling forward, no one can stop it, standing at the height of history, many people, especially those who have status or pretentiousness, will disdain some things in history, thinking that if they stand in their position, they will definitely do better than them, and it will be easier to become famous, even if they can't drive this giant chariot and become a high-ranking coachman, at least they can become an indispensable screw on the car, but after actual verification, they found out painfullyIt turns out that he is just an ordinary person, just an ordinary person, the most ordinary screw, like everyone else, even just a little dust that has been sprinkled on the world.
The emperor of the Bauhinia Empire, in history is known for his heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper, his mind is very broad, like the vast blue sky, but his ability is really limited, at the beginning of the second barbarian war, he thinks he is an unborn military genius, he does not believe in any of his generals at all, the past does not forget the division of the future, the defeat experience of the first barbarian war is vivid, it was because of the general in charge of the command that there was a problem, generous words, so it led to the final war defeat, so that the Bauhinia Empire's conquest action was anticlimactic, and the end was silent, becoming a big laughing stock.
Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor does not believe in those generals at all, thinking that they can only be a specific executor at most, and the real decision-maker can only be himself, and other people, whether in terms of talent, IQ or military literacy, are inferior to him as an emperor.
This time, in order to conquer the Gur tribe, His Majesty the Emperor sent a total of four legions, nearly 50,000 people, a huge scale, and some people objected at that time, because the entire Gur tribe was almost 100,000 people, but excluding those old, weak, sick and disabled women and children, there were less than 20,000 people who could participate in the battle, and they were not a rope, but scattered in many places in the province of Chalmers, and each time they could gather to fight with the troops of the Bauhinia Empire, at most, no more than 3,000 people......
Three thousand! There were only three thousand people.
And they are all indigenous people with little professional training and no good weapons. In order to clean them up, the empire actually had to send a large army of 50,000 people. Oh my God, this is not 5,000 people, but 50,000 people, as the saying goes, 10,000 people, boundless, 50,000 people spread on the ground, it is a large area that cannot be seen at a glance. With so many people, what about the problem of food? How do I get provisions? How to supply weapons? How to arrange logistics? And military spending in wartime, and ...... There are so many problems that can't be solved with a single tap on the head.
At that time, some people expressed their opposition and earnestly stated the crux of these problems, but His Majesty the Emperor did not listen at all, because according to his ideas, his Bauhinia Empire was vast and had a large population, so could it not be supported by 50,000 people? Moreover, according to the idea of His Majesty the Emperor, his tactics against the Gur people need to be supported by so many people, and if there are fewer people, then what a fart? The grass must be cut to the roots, and all the pickled and pickled miscellaneous pieces of the Gur must be cut clean this time.
The massive army, like a forest of swords and guns, advanced like a tide, like a heavy chariot, crushed the little ants of the Gur tribe to death...... Regardless of gender, old and young, chickens and dogs are not left, this is what His Majesty the Emperor thinks.
In other words, the Gur people are also their own people, can His Majesty the Emperor really do it? Hey, don't really say it, His Majesty the Emperor can really do it, firstly, because he has not succeeded to the throne for too long, he is young and vigorous, and he is easy to be emotionally impulsive, and the second point is because in his heart, his people are only those ordinary people of the same race in the Bauhinia Empire, those Gur people...... Hehe, after all, they are alien races, not my race, their hearts must be different, and they must be completely eliminated in order to be completely at ease. And the third point is that because of these scum of the Gur people, they are really too much trouble.
At that time, forced by His Majesty the Emperor's Long Wei, the vast majority of the ministers who had originally expressed their opposition chose to compromise. For them, being able to express their opposition is already fulfilling their duty as courtiers, after all, the one who can really make decisions is His Majesty the Emperor sitting on the dragon chair, in other words, this Bauhinia Empire is the emperor's, it is its own, but in the final analysis, it is also the emperor's. It's their family, he is willing to toss and take risks, why bother to please that? Once you offend the emperor, you won't have any good fruit to eat.
The vast majority of ministers think so, but after all, not all, the dragon gives birth to nine sons of all kinds of differences, there are always a few who are not afraid of dead heads, there were a few ministers at that time, under the emperor's dragon power refused to give in, tears and bitter persuasion, the reason said that a big car, even if it is a piece of iron, put it on the chest is covered with heat. But His Majesty's heart is harder than steel, and no one can change what he decides, and at the beginning, he just said it, and if he didn't agree, he just didn't agree, but these ministers didn't give up, and His Majesty the Emperor was so annoyed that in the end, in his anger, he actually sent the minister who took the lead to the guillotine, and the rest of the ministers who followed the trend were also thrown into prison.
This time, no one dared to speak anymore, everyone already knew deeply that His Majesty the Emperor who was stubborn and self-serving killed people without blinking, and if they continued to argue, no one dared to guarantee that they would not be the next unlucky person to be guillotined.
As the saying goes, a big war is coming, cut the general first - unlucky!
Removing some superstitious factors, this statement is not unreasonable.
About half a month later, the army set out and marched towards the northwestern province of Chalmers. Compared with the high morale in the early days of the First Barbarian War, this time, almost all the soldiers were surrounded by a very low mood.
Can you win?
Can we beat the barbarians of the Gur?
The morale of the army, which is unprecedentedly low.
Moreover, because the dispatch time is too short and the relationship is not too smooth, there are often situations where the army is out of food, firewood, lack of clothing, lack of tents, and nowhere to rest, and in this way, the already low morale is on the verge of collapse. (To be continued.) )
