Chapter 615: The Beginning of Take-off (11) The Rabble
In the first year of the outbreak of the "Second Siber War", the Siber army was in a state of collapse, and before the Filipino Argon could make any response, all the territory east of Naro was lost, and the Hers, who had marched into Urdoc, announced that the independent Siber was established, and he wanted to continue to fight for the recognition of the Filipino.
The war was not over, and the military adviser of Rui Ying Mai Qiu explained to everyone that if you want to end the war, you must at least capture Naro, because Naro is holding an extremely important pass, and as long as this pass is still controlled by the Philippine argon, all the territory of Sibo is like a wild boar with a defenseless soft belly.
So Huls gave a mobilization order with great interest, preparing to wait for the autumn harvest before marching out with a large army to capture Naro and protect Sib's territory.
However, with the establishment of Uldoch, the struggle for power between the various forces also came, and the intensity of the struggle for power made Hulse forget for a while that he was at war.
Each faction demanded more titles and official appointments to its own faction, and the members of the old organization also demanded to rule by breaking the territory, but with the exception of Urdoch, almost all the cities were controlled by the "rebellious" Sydneysider aristocracy, who did not say they agreed, and even refused to give up their military power to disband the army, and demanded that Hulse legitimize these armies.
In addition, this group of rebellious nobles seemed to have collectively suffered from amnesia, and for a time forgot the word "tax", so that Urdoch was nominally an all-Siber government, and could barely support the operation of the main city.
Although after the outbreak of the war, a large number of the property of the Sieneks and Sifili were deprived by the "rebel army", but very few of the property that actually entered the city government was divided, and most of the money was divided among the "rebels" in various places.
In fact, only a few months later, Hulse was forced to donate all the property he had been allocated to provide military maintenance and city repair, and under Hulse's leadership, some young nobles with ideals also took the initiative to hand over the wealth they had looted, but most of the nobles could only be described as "iron roosters", and even the "taxes" were not intended to be paid.
There was no choice but to send tax collectors to inform them, but there were very few tax collectors in the city, and the most important reliance on taxation, the atlas, was burned to the ground, and when asked about them, they said that the Siferi had been burned in despair.
Not to mention the other cities, the northernmost city of Love, the total number of Sinikes and Sifili is less than 100, and the aristocratic rebellion is the fastest to end, less than 1 day, and the merchants everywhere are still operating normally that day, burn a fart! But no matter how Hulse asks, these nobles are just a sentence, the atlas has been burned, and it is gone.
If you want someone to do it, do you have to give someone else action funds? But now that all the funds are spent on maintaining the city government and the army of Uldoch, where will the money come from to make the atlas? But if you don't make an atlas, you can't collect taxes, and if you can't collect taxes, how can you make an atlas?
At the end of the road, Hulse could only pull down his face and plead with the members of the "Ruiying faction" of the "Sydney Unification Organization", they controlled the subsidies given to the organization by Ruiying McQiu, but the gang actually said that there was no money, because Uldoch had fallen, and their mission would naturally be completed.
After all, all the departments related to the economy are in the hands of Rui Ying Maiqiu, and even Huls, who is not sensitive to politics, feels terrified.
But this doesn't work, why not? Oh, we have funded you for hundreds of years, diligently helping you do this and that, and now that it is done, you are going to kick us away? Why? Are you so great in immortal epics? Aren't you afraid of the cold of the world?
As a result, Hulse was instigated again, and he knew that if he really did this kind of thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, he would probably be scolded by the troubadours organized by Ruiying Maiqiu for thousands of years.
You don't see that Echoy, who let Franknier forge a hundred years of hegemony, because of the shameless means used, this has been a thousand years and the scolding is not small, but it has also spread across the ocean from the south to the north of the southern Xinjiang continent, Hulse is more timid, and he does not dare to bear such an infamy.
At this time, a group of money lenders who claimed to be Sydney, but Hulse seriously suspected that it was the British, came to the door, smiled and claimed that they had agreed to lend to Siber, but for the loan, you have to mortgage the tariffs, minerals, and the like, right?
So Hulse took the matter to the provisional parliament to discuss it, and as a result, there was a lot of scolding, and countless nobles blushed and loudly rebuked Hulse for betraying the country, but when they wanted them to donate money for the country or at least cooperate with the tax, the birdmen collectively shrank back and remained silent as if this matter had nothing to do with them.
After half a month, Hulse had to stop repairing the city, invest all the money in maintaining the army, and then continue to fight with these nobles in the parliament, and as a result, the first year of the capture of Urdoche passed in the middle of the fight. Uldoch is arguing, and Naro is working overtime to fortify the fortress and strengthen the defenders of the fortress.
In 2237, Hulse finally realized that these self-proclaimed noble birdmen were unwilling to donate money for their country or cooperate with their taxes, and they would be furious whenever they proposed a loan idea, but they kept silent when they asked them to make a suggestion, purely to cause trouble for themselves.
So Hulse didn't quarrel with them anymore, and took the help of the immortal epic to deter him, and forcibly passed a resolution in the parliament to borrow money from Ruiying Maiqiu.
It has been 2 years since the outbreak of the war, except for the first year, which was like a bamboo, and then basically spent in the ramp, the army has become an existing army, weapons need to be updated, grain and grass need to be prepared clearly, and more importantly, the arrears need to be made up - the country has no money, the army must be patient, but now the war is about to start, and if you don't make up the arrears, believe it or not, your subordinates mutinied on the spot to show you.
So Hulse came to his senses again, and he found that a small part of the money he borrowed after mortgaging the tariffs was used to make up for the arrears of the army, and most of them were actually left back to Ruiying Maiqiu, and went to Ruiying Maiqiu to buy their grain, grass and equipment.
Alas, a weak country has no diplomacy, Hulse can only sigh like this, his only expectation is that after peace with the Philippines, he can get rid of this situation through the country's hard work.
After experiencing so many things that are difficult to talk about, Hulse finally led the army to send troops to Naluo, but at this time, Naro had already built an iron wall, had sufficient troops and logistical supplies, and was waiting for Huls's army with its natural geographical advantages.
"Rabble, do you know what a rabble is?" said Naro Defender Pehem to his juniors, shaking his head nervously at the back of the first battle, and the defender waved his hand at the huge army of Huls below the fortress, "Then soon, you will see what a rabble is." ”
"You have been asking me why Bejara allowed this gang of rebels to wreak havoc west of Naro for two years, because only in this way will the rabble nature of this gang of bandits be very obvious, and after we have waited for work, we will purge this group of bandits like the 'First Sib War', and never give up without killing people. ”
The "Battle of Naro" began, and in the first few days Huls's army rushed to the fortress of Naro with high morale, only to be beaten back each time, and slowly the morale of the army that had not yet encountered defeat began to decline.
After saying that, they are not a real army at all, but an army disguised by the private soldiers of a group of large and small warlords, and when the losses come up, the warlords feel sorry for their losses, and they all cower, wanting to let others consume and preserve their strength, but everyone thinks so, and the battle line collapses beyond measure.
If this is not a siege but a field battle, at this time there is a charge on the opposite side, I am afraid that this mighty army will be completely annihilated. However, the defenders would not do this, because Bejara gave the order to grind the spirit of this group of rebels in Nara, so that the counterattack could be carried out later.
Looking at the Naro Fortress that can't be captured alive or dead, Hulse is also anxious, Naro Fortress is not a lonely city, it is only surrounded by the west wall, the north and south city walls are next to the towering mountains, Toutie only attacked from here, as for the east city wall is the big rear, Fei Argon is constantly transporting supplies from here, Naro can't be besieged and killed at all.
Seeing the various warlords who were cowering, Hulse gritted his teeth, and could only move forward bravely and play an exemplary role, which is also the mission of the leader of the "Sydney Unity Organization".
So Hulse gathered an army that obeyed him, and with the spiritual power of an immortal epic, he led the onslaught on the fortified fortress of Naro.
Once, twice, three times......
With the strength of the immortal epic and the combat ability gradually cultivated over the years, Huls destroyed part of the city wall several times, but unfortunately, most of his army could not keep up with Huls's footsteps, resulting in Hulse himself almost being planted in the city and unable to return.
The most infuriating thing is those warlords, every time they say that they want to follow, they are cowardly when it comes to the end, Huls has not punished them, otherwise the whole army will be shaken, you must know that Huls can't actually control every inch of Siber's land, and those lands are still under the control of the families of these warlords.
What made Herls feel even more sad was that with those failed charges, although the walls of Naro were destroyed quite badly, they would soon be rebuilt, and the young nobles who followed Hers's charge fell one after another on the way to the charge, so that there were fewer and fewer of them, and there was no one in ten.
"Can't rush again, Your Majesty!" this is the nobleman who has followed Hulse for several years, and he is now kneeling at Hulse's feet with tears in his eyes, "If we rush again, we will all die!"
Listening to the other party's wail, Hulse also squatted down sadly and patted the other party's shoulder: "Don't rush, don't rush, you also did your best, I know." ”
Standing again, thinking that the young nobles who trusted and respected themselves had fallen one by one on the way to attack, the corners of Huls's eyes turned slightly red, and he looked at the towering fortress in the distance, and could only sigh: "How should this be defeated." ”
