Chapter 158: War and Development

Zhu Ping stood outside the castle and snapped his fingers, letting the scout wear shackles and put them around the necks of all the upper echelons of Lin Zheng Castle, and these elegant gentlemen looked a little panicked at this time.

Lin Zheng's second son struggled to arch the soldiers in front of them down, his eyes were like copper bells, and he said angrily: "Sir Ben has already surrendered, what else do you want from me?" ”

"How?

Admitting defeat should have an attitude of admitting defeat. ”

Zhu Ping responded with a smile, and then the smile on his face slowly faded and became extremely cold.

"I don't care how you nobles treated noble war criminals before, you are now my prisoner, and there is no room for bargaining with me."

Zhu Ping took his eyes away from Lin Zheng's second son, who was very inward-looking, and swept over everyone, like a sharp blade, and everyone he swept past shrunk into cowardly quails.

The killing intent of Hongguoguo was written in capital letters in his eyes!

The soldiers bound the nobles and their stewards with shackles and hemp ropes and took them out of the castle, while the nobles' private soldiers were confiscated of their weapons and crouched under the walls to be left untreated.

After all the war criminals have stood in a row.

Zhu Ping asked some of the soldiers to loot resources, and he stood in front of the war criminals and interrogated: "Who came up with the idea of using civilians as shields to stop the combined army?" ”

Viscount Lin Zheng's eldest and second sons immediately responded:

"This is my father's order!"

"Father did it!"

Zhu Ping didn't think much about it, and said casually: "Lin Zheng did it!" However, he was beaten to ashes by a single shot, and there is no way to fill the people's grievances, so let's randomly choose one of you to take responsibility! ”

Just finished speaking.

These two noble heirs who should have been promoted to viscount turned their words and pointed the finger at the fifth son of Viscount Lin Zheng.

"It was the fifth brother who did it."

"It was his attention that came out and was later adopted by my father."

At this time, not only the heirs of the two viscounts, but also the small nobles such as the housekeeper and the chief of the guard also insisted that they were Lin Zheng's fifth son, for fear that they would become victims.

"Nope! Not me! Viscount Lin Zheng's five sons shook their heads again and again, wanting to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, but because their arms were tied, they fell to the ground.

"Boring Game of Thrones."

Zhu Ping pinched his eyebrows, and motioned with his hand to the soldiers to take Lin Zheng's five sons out alone and detain them aside, as for the rest of the noble war criminals, he also ignored them.

Turn your head to find a quiet place and think about what to do next.

Zhu Ping never failed to step into the gate of Lin Zheng Castle, and the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall...... Mainly because he played too much with his own gunpowder, and everywhere he looked like there was a "potato mine".

Back to the original topic.

Don't look at the biggest nobles now.

In fact, the trouble has just begun, just like doing homework at night, just pulling out the homework, and the trouble and toil are still waiting for you!

……

The nobles in the northeast were very uneasy, although they had not yet had any substantial friction with the combined army, but they were on the opposite side of Zhuping after all.

They don't know if they're going to face sweet talk or a raging storm next.

When these nobles with magical blessed eyes were able to see Lin Zheng Castle waving the white flag, they scolded: "Coward! Lose the face of the nobles! ”

"Lin Zheng's heir is not worthy of being a nobleman!"

"Shameless!"

“……”

It's handsome for no more than three seconds.

One second they were still scolding each other, and the next second they took out the white flags they had sewn overnight, and they shook each one faster than the other.

I'm afraid they will be the last to be liquidated.

However, what made these aristocratic bigwigs even more uneasy was that after Zhu Ping sent people to take all Lin Zheng's children into custody, he ignored them.

Then the dilemma arose for these nobles.

The soldiers of the Coalition Army came here with a dozen noble war criminals, and after intimidating them, they actually hung them here and ignored them.

The nobles were completely unsure of the current situation, some panicked, and some were angry.

The reason why they want to surrender is that they want to get a better treatment after surrendering.

However, Zhu Ping used the shackles of aristocratic war criminals to tell them a truth: preferential treatment? You're thinking about fart!

At this time, how else can they surrender?

But if they don't surrender, what will they fight? How can you beat it!

Kiko, who had been scolding for an afternoon and was about to smoke in his throat, pulled his throat and said, "Do you want to surrender?" Give some sincerity! There is not too little gold and silver treasure, and there are not too many noble ladies, so they can do it for themselves......"

After saying that, he ordered the soldiers, took the noble war criminals, and the group swaggered away.

Let the nobles who seem to have been through strong winds and waves, but in fact have never been out of the castle a few times, shiver in the cold wind.

They really want to shout out loudly, what are they doing, do they want to co-opt them, or do they want the well water of both sides to live in peace without interfering with the river water? What kind of trouble is Zhu Pinghall going to make!

……

What is Zhu Ping doing? Why?

The aristocrats did not understand because their history was too short.

In Zhuping's hometown, people who are familiar with history know one thing very well: it is easy to attack the city and difficult to defend the city.

During the siege, the forces are in a state of resource plundering, and at this time, the distribution of personal resources is very simple, and whoever grabs more will belong to whomever he wants.

It is easy to enter a positive cycle.

However, when the war ended and the resources were almost entirely in the hands of the forces, the problem came to the fore.

When there is no foreign enemy to plunder the money, how is the money distributed, who has more and who has less?

The positive cycle of power development will be broken.

Internal distribution is prone to all kinds of problems, and even directly develop into internal friction.

This is the biggest drawback of the Zhuping United Army, the resource redistribution system is not perfect.

So Zhu Ping decided to "forcefully" slow down the pace of the war.

Forcibly recharge!

This is a "icing on the cake" strategy that the think tank group temporarily came up with after the phone call after Zhu Ping decided to start the war.

Although it has nothing to do with the victory or defeat of the war, it has nothing to do with the situation in the kingdom, but it can greatly delay the internal contradictions that are about to break out in the United Company.

It is even possible to eliminate internal contradictions before they erupt.

can endure hardships together, but cannot share prosperity...... One sentence can explain many issues.

There are currently about 30,000 people in the United Company, including about 10,000 soldiers, which means that most of the adult men in the United Company will be promoted through war.

As a soldier, you can dare to fight and kill on the battlefield, gain military merits, and thus gain a higher status than others.

This is the path to promotion.

If the war is brought to an abrupt end, it is likely that this "positive cycle pathway" will be broken and resources will begin to "involute mode".

If the involution is out of control, then it will be troublesome!

At the same time, the arrival of winter is also taking into account the upcoming "Beast Siege Event" in two or three months, so this positive cycle must not be broken.

Zhu Ping is now forcibly forcing a group of nobles to become enemies, and forcibly making this group of soft bones who want to surrender unable to kneel.

Let the war continue.

It's a problem that the nobles are too strong, and it's also a problem if they're too hard to fight.

The same is true not only for the military, but also for the expansion of the combined plant.

The situation of the United Company has just begun, and if the war ends, it seems to be beautiful, but in fact it is equivalent to pouring cold water on hot oil.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to set up a wave of enemies, temporarily cover up the problem of the imperfection of the superstructure of the joint company, and speed up the construction.

"I hope the remaining nobles don't disappoint me!" Zhu Ping sighed.

The United Company needs war mobilization personnel, and development is needed to compensate for shortcomings.

War and development, both of which need to be grasped in hand.

In this way, a new sky can be pasted into a world that has lost the sky.
