Tianhao didn't give him a chance to be impassioned, and unceremoniously interrupted the old man's words: "It's right to have an idea, after all, no one will willingly take the initiative to hand over all the property." But I think you must have something wrong with your brain to dare to say such a rebellious thing at such a time. ”

"I have noble blood in my veins!" The old man said with obvious contempt: "Do you think I will be afraid of death? If it weren't for ......"

Tianhao interrupted again in cold words: "I know, you are kneeling in front of me for your family." ”

The feeling of letting go of everything was so easy that the old man exhaled a long breath in his chest: "I thought you didn't understand anything. ”

"It's you who don't understand." Tianhao's handsome face was full of killing intent: "If you do this, you will implicate many people." ”

The old man was slightly stunned, then narrowed his eyes, frowned, kept his kneeling posture, looked at the young regent sitting at the top for a long time, and asked uncertainly, "...... What are you referring to? ”

"You and your family are going to die." Tianhao's cold voice seemed to come from another world: "Congratulations, it was the words you just said that prompted me to make this decision. ”

He raised his hand, like a sharp spear, and pointed straight at the old man's eyebrows: "You, Ling Chi." Your family will be spared the torture of dying. But including your youngest grandson, they must be beheaded. ”

"You're crazy!" The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and the terrible scene came to mind. The intense sense of fear caused him to lose his mind as soon as he said these three words. Unable to speak, unable to respond as physically as it should, it was like a sudden blow to the back of the head.

“…… You ......" he roared with rage, "You promised to let us go as long as you give us all your possessions." ”

From Black Feather Pass to Jinling City, and then to Flying Eagle City, Tianhao ordered all nobles to be arrested and ordered in a centralized manner. The content is very simple, full of coldness and majesty———— all property must be handed over unconditionally, and there must be no concealment, concealment, or concealment. Once discovered, the entire family was decapitated.

If we want to fundamentally solve the problem of integration between the barbarian tribes in the north, the root of it lies in the treatment of the aristocratic class. In the case of the Eagle Clan, the proportion of nobles among them is actually very low compared to more than a million commoners. They govern the various cities, as well as the vast areas between them, and are the true rulers of the regions under the Eagle King.

Compared to the pig and deer clans, the situation of the eagle clan is more complicated. When he personally led the army south, Tianhao never imagined that the battle of Flying Eagle City would be so difficult. Even with the advantage of weapons that surpassed the entire generational gap, the dragons still paid nearly 5,000 casualties.

Whether it is Black Feather Pass, Jinling City, or the previous battles against the Pig Clan, the Deer Clan, and the Tiger Clan, they have never suffered such heavy losses.

There are many reasons for this result. The most important part of this lies in the Eagle Mountain. Cornered, he opened the warehouse and gave the defending army rich material rewards, which stimulated high morale.

In the final stage of the breaching of the city, the Eagle Clan defenders were truly fearless of death. The treacherous natural terrain of Eagle City, combined with the bows and arrows that the entire group had been trained since their infancy, made this siege extremely difficult. Although it didn't last long, it made Tianhao see the bravery that was deeply soaked in the bones of the northern barbarians. Not everyone in all ethnic groups will willingly accept the change of power, and even the commoners, who are usually oppressed by the aristocracy, will not voluntarily attach themselves to the "liberators" from outside. If we look at it in depth, the root of the solution to this problem lies in education. It will take a large number of witch practitioners (teachers) to completely change the status quo and unleash the overall fixed thinking of the common people.

The Eagle Clan no longer exists, but the next opponents are the Tiger Clan and the Lion Clan.

Training and producing a qualified Witch Walker is far from being as simple as you might think. This takes time and requires professional teachers to transfer knowledge to the set goals. Tianhao once launched a plan for education for all in Rock City, and later found that it was not ordinary to achieve the desired goal. It is still the core problem that cannot be solved in the short term———— there is a serious shortage of witch practitioners who can serve as teachers.

Half a year ago, Pyeongjun's intelligence department made some adjustments to this issue. According to Tianhao's order, the Ministry of Intelligence began to make contact with the middle and lower level of witch practitioners of other tribes to varying degrees, and made them choose to defect to the dragon clan by means of lure.

The work is not going very well. The position of the wizard class is very high, and it is equivalent to the nobility to some extent. In other words, the aristocracy is the largest group that truly controls and produces witch walkers in bulk.

This principle is actually very simple———— there is enough material to train scholars, there is money to study, and only when you have a full stomach can you want to explore more mysteries of this world. Whether it's the era of civilization long since the end of the world, or the reality of restarting under the control of a computer program, this fixed pattern has never changed.

Tianhao was a little reluctant to kill the captured Eagle Clan higher-ups. He knew that leaving these people would cause him varying degrees of trouble. However, in the long run, as long as their property is confiscated and their original interests are forced to become teachers, under the premise of strengthening supervision, their existence can accelerate the improvement of the overall quality of the dragon clan, as well as the effect of cultural guidance and popularization.

Gather all the captured nobles in Flying Eagle City, and set up such a ceremony full of humiliation and a sense of conquest, so that they can voluntarily hand over their property in the name of "respect" in front of everyone, on the one hand, in order to crush them from the psychological and practical level, and on the other hand, to test the bottom line of the nobles. Regardless of the level of anger, as long as they honestly obey the requirements during the worship ceremony, Tianhao will give them a normal life.

As long as you lose your necessities, you have to obey orders if you want to continue your life, and nobility has become a thing of the past. Of course, they will have varying degrees of resistance and even curse the young regent fiercely in their hearts. But it doesn't matter, the police and soldiers will make them understand what it means to be "cruel and must accept reality". Honestly picking up a textbook and going to school every day will wear away anger, make them insensitive, and eventually become an educational machine accustomed to all this.

Promote their own opinions in the course of teaching, and induce students to rebel against His Royal Highness the Regent?

This is unlikely. There are a lot of problems that can be discovered through the daily exams. The Ministry of Intelligence and the newly established Ministry of Education have supervised all schools in the territory of the Dragon Clan, coupled with the long-term persistence of the working group and the political commissar on the general public, and the regular and comprehensive brainwashing, and now the entire common people of the Dragon Clan have a strong admiration for Tianhao.

Only a regent can lead us to happiness.

Think about what kind of life everyone used to live. It was His Royal Highness the Regent who gave us food and clothes.

His Royal Highness the Regent is the savior of all the poor in the world.

This strong and efficient cohesion far surpasses that of any clan king. Even if the aristocratic teacher secretly instills opposition in the students, they will be discovered by the students' parents and the people around them. According to the newly promulgated "Joint Sitting Law", one person was involved in the incident, and the whole family was beheaded.

The expression on Tianhao's face became gloomy because of anger. He stared coldly at the old man kneeling on the ground: "This king did promise to let you go. But that doesn't mean you can blame and talk gibberish on such occasions. ”

The old man's heart sank, and he wanted to change his mind and lower his posture, but Tianhao's previous attitude was extremely tough, and there was no possibility of loosening it from any aspect. When people are old, they will become obsessed with many things, not to mention that their identity is here, the lord of the city, who is pointed at his nose and scolded by a young man who is less than half his age, has to kneel down and beg him for mercy, and take the initiative to worship property...... I can't swallow anything in this breath.

"I ...... I'm not talking nonsense! In the end, it was "personal dignity" that prevailed in the complex entanglement of thinking in the old man's mind. He puffed up his chest again and said sternly: "You are a transgressor. Your throne does not come from inheritance, and you do not have noble royal blood. ”

Tianhao was not angry, he stared at the old man for a while, and smiled faintly.

"Drag it off, Ling Chi." He gave the order directly.

He snapped his fingers, "Next." ”

Killing is an effective deterrent and one of the most effective ways to control people.

The ensuing process of devotion was stable and orderly, and no one dared to stand up and make a disobedient act. The distance between the palace and the square was not too far, and the makeshift execution table could be faintly seen, as well as the people who had been escorted there to accept the fate of the executioner's beheading.

The vast majority of Eagle civilians do not consider so-called "dignity". Their understanding of the change of rulers was far less profound than that of the aristocracy. Although Ying Chongshan gave them some benefits before the city was broken, it was a temporary act after all, and more importantly, it did not have a long-term effect. If you want the low-level commoners to be grateful to the superiors, the occasional small favor will not have an effect. Only by pulling them into a wide circle of interests and empathizing with them can we establish a stable rule around the king.

……

In the evening, the worship ceremony ended.

With a huge dragon flag unfurled on the wooden pole in front of the king's palace, hunting in the wind also means that the eagle clan has completely disappeared, and has since become a part of the dragon clan.

In the oval-shaped makeshift living room of the inner hall of the palace, Yonggang and Fierce Tooth stood silently. They surveyed the room, and the Praetorian Guards standing outside the open door.

Tianhao appeared from the inner hallway and walked directly into the living room. He was not followed by an attendant, indicating a great deal of trust in the two interviewees.

"Sit down! Don't be so inhibited. Tianhao calmly sat down on the chair in the middle. He has a slender build, and a well-fitting dragon uniform makes him look elegant. The thin face looks very capable, and it has a pair of cold eyes.

Yonggang and Fierce Tooth sat down separately opposite Tianhao. They are cautious, even overly careful. This majesty that came from the young regent increased over time. Especially Yonggang, he has watched Tianhao grow step by step since the era of Panshizhai, reaching the height that must be admired now. If it was just from the village leader to the city lord, Yonggang thought that he would never be able to become the patriarch, let alone destroy multiple tribes one after another like Tianhao and integrate the chaotic tribes into a powerful dragon clan.

Worship and reverence do come from the heart.

It's not about age.

"I'll go back to Pointe-Noire tomorrow, and I'll leave the city to you." Tianhao shifted his body, and the metal buttons on his military uniform reflected a dazzling luster: "The Eighth Army Corps is responsible for daily defense work, and the Marine Corps is left half." You don't have to worry about government affairs, I will keep enough people. In addition, the new officials have already set off from Rock City, and it will take two days at most to reach Eagle City. ”

"I have only one request." Tian Hao raised a finger and said solemnly: "Stabilize the situation as soon as possible and eliminate the impact of the war on the civilians of the Eagle Clan." The resumption of production in the shortest possible time, especially next year's spring ploughing, must not be delayed. ”

Yonggang and Fierce Tooth stood up at the same time, and the two of them clasped their fists together and saluted: "Subordinates receive orders." ”

Tianhao was very satisfied with their attitude, and smiled gently: "Don't be so nervous. The situation is much better now than it used to be. The port is under construction and is expected to be completed next month. At that time, the sulfur from Jeju Island will be transported directly and processed at Jinlingseong. As long as the road construction with Flying Eagle City is completed as soon as possible, the logistics supply will become stable. ”

The young fierce tooth was full of energy in his heart. He eagerly asked, "Your Highness, when are we going to do something to the lion people?" ”

Tianhao's eyes wandered, and although his tone was gentle, it was full of warnings: "War is the ultimate means to solve problems, and the key to supporting war lies in national strength." These two things cannot be confused. Especially now, if Eagle City can't restore stability in a short period of time, in this direction, we can only take a defensive position against the Leonin. ”

Fierce teeth lowered his eyes, he was shocked by Tianhao's words, and he didn't know how to speak for a while. Yonggang hurriedly interjected from the side: "Your Highness means not to be so impulsive. Both the Eighth Army and the Marine Corps must take advantage of this time to increase their strength. The lion tribe is very different from the eagle tribe, they have corn and potatoes, which means that they have plenty of food reserves, and we have to think about the problem in many ways. ”

As he spoke, Yonggang asked tentatively: "Your Highness, you just said that "take a defensive position in this direction", and ...... in the direction of Fangs City."

Tianhao smiled again, some things have to be made public sooner or later, there is no need to hide them: "The first and fifth legions are going well, and the Heavenly Maniac has taken Fangs City and captured a large number of supplies that the lion people have stored there. ”

Fierce Tooth and Yonggang had excited expressions on their faces. Yonggang subconsciously asked: "Continue to attack the Broken Gold City?" Or do you want to postpone the next step of military action? ”
