Chapter 275: The First Barbarian War
The Governor, named Gore, was a nobleman of very good origin, and even had a little kinship with the royal family. When he was in the imperial capital, he was very famous, he was a famous bard poet, and he was handsome, and played the harp with one hand, he was the most perfect lover in the hearts of many women, every time he published a new collection of poems, it would be a big hit, and when he himself appeared in public, it would cause countless women to scream, he was a nobleman, and he was a star among the nobles.
But such a person has become a nightmare for the province of Chalmers, and even for the entire Bauhinia Empire.
Because, he is proficient in literature and music, but he is full of flowers and elegant kung fu, for politics and military affairs, he is ignorant of politics, is a piece of paper, not good at all, but because of his long reputation, he is very conceited, thinking that he knows everything and knows everything, so it is inevitable to be rigid and self-employed when he starts to do things, and the disaster is in his fatal shortcomings.
He is the most polite person, the most unaccustomed to those rough people who don't understand etiquette, and for barbarians like the Gur tribe, he looks down on them even more in his heart, thinking that they are a bunch of garbage, a group of dirty bastards, people like them are not worthy of living in the land of the Bauhinia Empire at all, they should all be driven to the deep mountains and old forests to live with wild beasts, and it is best for them to fend for themselves, or send them all to the mines to do coolies, anyway, they can do anything, They just can't let them live in the province of Chalmers and breathe the same air as a noble person like themselves, this and this...... It's infuriating.
Take a look, take a look...... Look at what they look like!
This time, His Majesty the Emperor returned to heaven and gave Governor Gore the best excuse for those bastards of the Gur tribe to be so presumptuous. Laughing, laughing, this is disrespect for the royal family, contempt for the government, and naked rebellion!
The big hats were buttoned up one after another, and some strong words were excessive, but at this juncture, no one really could say anything wrong, after all, those Gur people did do a little rude...... Of course, this is by the standards of these officials of the Bauhinia Empire. And the Gur people don't think so at all.
After much intense discussion, quarrelling, deliberation and study, Governor Gore decided that such a situation could not continue. It must be addressed immediately and effectively and completely.
At that time, on the issue of what to do with the Gur people. There are three main arguments. The first is to follow the old calendar of the original governor of Gulabash. Ignore them, they can do whatever they like, as long as there is no overly obvious rebellion, don't care, don't bother to deal with them.
The second way is to directly send a large number of soldiers and horses to carry out a comprehensive military conscription. Use the most direct and positive violence to suppress them, whether it is extermination or something, for the life and death of these barbarians. Governor Gore didn't care at all, as long as he could make his place peaceful.
And the third kind is a suggestion put forward by a staff member, that is, the decapitation operation, according to him, these barbarians come out to make trouble, mainly those who are the leaders of the restless life, as for the other foolish people, they are all brought up by them, as the so-called chief evil person must be done, the coercion does not ask, as long as those leaders are put together, supplemented by the suppression of officers and soldiers and cultural education, the matter can be completely solved, you know, the first method is too soft, Governor Gore does not want to make himself the same as Governor Gulabash, And the second kind of killing is too big, and sending troops and horses to fight, it needs to be approved by the top, and it also consumes a lot of time, money and manpower, too tired, too hard, and too dangerous, try not to use it if you can, and only this third method is the best, saving time and effort, as long as you get rid of a few leaders, hehe...... That's all done.
So the governor of Gorr naturally chose the third suggestion of this staff, and he drew up a detailed plan, and after the ten days of His Majesty's mourning, he set up a banquet, saying that for the sake of national harmony and friendship from generation to generation, as the governor of the province of Chalmers, he would come to the east and invite the heads of the thirteen branches of the Gur tribe to dinner.
Although he was very dismissive of Governor Gore, he was a nobleman of the Bauhinia Empire after all, the governor of Chalmers Province, a person with status, and a person like him had basic credit, so the leaders of the Gur tribe did not suspect anything, so they took their cronies to the banquet.
But what awaited them was not a feast, but ...... Bright swords and axes. Needless to say, the thirteen chiefs, as well as the servants and men they had brought, were all tied up with ropes, and then, after a brief inquiry, they were all pulled out into the courtyard outside, and their heads were cut off.
Not a single living mouth remained.
Then, the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time began to control the settlement area of the Gur people, honestly, under residential surveillance, and if they were not honest, they were directly suppressed by force, and for a time the Gur people were in a state of turmoil, and they couldn't raise their heads.
Governor Gore felt that this matter had been settled so completely, that the Gur people would no longer be able to make trouble without the leadership of those leaders, and that the province of Chalmers would henceforth be a clean and peaceful world of great goodness, and under his rule, it would be as it was.
He thought very beautifully, ideally, and poetically, but everything he had was based on the suffering of the Gur people, where the head man was everything, the god in his heart, the guiding light of progress, and now, all the head people were killed, and this act aroused the resentment of all the Gur people.
Because the leaders were deceived by Governor Gore for food, and thus were brutally killed, and Governor Gore was a nobleman and official of the Bauhinia Empire, so they directed all their anger at the Bauhinia Empire, and in their mouths, Governor Gore became a big liar and a cruel executioner, and then made up many vicious words and small jokes to ridicule.
The Gur people, who had been masters of scolding, were now angry and angry, and their language was sharper and more ferocious than ever, and the kind of invectives that were comparable to curses, one after another, and wave after wave, and finally one day these words reached the ears of the governor of Gore himself.
It has long been said that Governor Gore is a famous poet in the imperial capital, he thinks that language is wonderful, should be a symbol of beauty, he never thought that there is such a vicious abuse and such maddening language in this world, so Governor Gore was angry, he issued a strict order, everyone is not allowed to continue to spread these poisonous things, once found, severely punished, and the people who make up these vicious jokes are even more guilty of three degrees, there are a few Gur people who are easy to find with names and surnames, was directly accused of slandering imperial officials, and was pulled out and beaten to death.
As the old saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance.
Although the Gur people are a little savage, but they are also living flesh and blood and emotional people, when the oppression oppresses them out of breath, some people climb to a high place and raise their arms, and immediately respond to countless people, the Gur people rely on the advantage of numbers and the tactics of sudden attacks, those who are responsible for guarding them, monitoring their residence, all the Bauhinia Empire soldiers who are responsible for guarding them, monitoring their residence, and then send a small force to attack the nearest guard to their residence, killing a Bauhinia Empire official with a noble title inside.
Now, the basket can be poked wide. In the Bauhinia Empire, you have not killed a hundred commoners, but it is not as great as killing the lowest of the minor nobles.
Aristocrats are the dignity of the Bauhinia Empire, and they are also His Majesty the Emperor's greatest reliance and bottom line, if in their own territory, even the lives of nobles cannot be guaranteed, what is the use of this royal family, and what is the use of the empire?
So, half a month later, with the approval of His Majesty the Emperor at that time, the soldiers of the entire two legions of the Bauhinia Empire left for Chalmers Province, and the first barbarian war began...... (To be continued......)
