Chapter 876: Anti-War
Through the mouth of the official.
The news of Vega's preparation for the use of troops against the West has initially spread.
On the territory of the Old Kingdom, in the war-torn city of Gasili, most of the civilians complained about this.
"War, when is it a head. ”
"Alas, our king is a warlike king, and I am afraid that our generation will not enjoy peace. ”
"My son died in the last war. ”
"As soon as this war comes, taxes and prices will increase again. ”
"That damn king of the defeated army!"
"If we oppose war together, will he dare to start a war without permission?"
“......”
In the entire city of Gasili, from top to bottom, the voice of anti-war is very high, their sense of belonging to the Jialan Empire is not strong, the last war has just ended, and this will start another war, of course they complain.
This situation did not arise only on the territory of the Old Kingdom.
The same is true of the Nuolan Empire, which has just been incorporated into the Jialan Kingdom, because the political style of the Nuolan Empire has always been relatively democratic, and there are even many demonstrations within the territory of the original empire.
There are obviously some people who are interested in guiding them.
And these people are not one or two, obviously one slap can't be counted.
In fact, these well-intentioned people don't really want to set off an uprising, oppose Vega's rule, or even overthrow the entire Jialan Empire, they also understand that compared to Vega, they are not even as good as dust, and the probability of overthrowing the Jialan Empire is almost equal to zero.
So why fan the flames?
No matter in any era, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
Although they can't get the world, they just need to take advantage of this dissatisfaction and pull up a vote of righteous indignation. When the time comes, find a few excuses, play these civilians who are carried away by anger, make a lot of money and then run away with the money, and you can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, which can be described as a white wolf with empty gloves.
Pull a hundred people, each cheat a gold coin, and they will have ten years without worry.
If you pull in 1,000 people, 10,000 people, the person at the head can immediately get rich overnight.
What's more, how can they be merciful as just putting a gold coin on each person, as the so-called starve the cowardly, support the bold, and don't ruin the pit of these civilians, I'm afraid they won't give up.
Wait until the day of the East Window incident.
As speculators, they have long since retreated, and the last unlucky ones are of course the civilians who are carried away by anger.
It can be said that there are countless people who take advantage of this social contradiction.
When these people exert their strength at the same time, even Vega, who is sitting on the throne, has to look sideways.
Of course, where there are opponents, there are supporters.
There is such a magical place that even speculators dare not set foot in it.
It turned out that the civilians of the Holy Dynasty had become the strong backing of Vega, and the entire territory of the Old Dynasty, regardless of men, women, and children, all supported this war, if it weren't for the fact that the Jialan Empire no longer recruited soldiers, I was afraid that they would be eager to let all the men join the army.
The reason is very simple.
The people of this land have always believed that the Jialan Empire is a holy dynasty, and as long as Vega's surname Saint Laurent remains unchanged for a day, then they will always support Vega. Coupled with their unique first-class citizenship, this also makes them the group of people who have the most sense of belonging to the Jialan Empire.
Even if there is no reason for it.
As long as Vega wants to fight, then they support the war. If someone in this land speaks ill of Vega and tries to lead the crowd against Vega's orders, they will probably be beaten to death by the enraged civilians right now.
This is not alarmist, but it happens.
The land of the old dynasty, the soil for the survival of no speculators.
For a long time, it has also been regarded as a forbidden place for those speculators and people with intentions to never set foot in.
This is also the reason why there was absolutely no opposition in the territory of the old dynasty.
To be honest, at first Vega didn't want to pay attention to the stirring up of some well-intentioned people, he was already the lord of the East, who else dared to disobey his orders? But then he found that things seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the anti-war cries were getting louder and louder.
In addition to the territory of the old dynasty.
In the end, it turned out that the whole East seemed to be against him to continue the war.
If it were to be replaced by the original imperial government, I am afraid that we would have already compromised with society and would not continue the war.
If you don't suppress these well-intentioned people, let the situation continue to deteriorate, and when the war really breaks out, these bewildered civilians will become a laggard, and it is not the first time that the original imperial government has suffered this kind of loss.
A large part of the people who aggravated the social contradictions this time came from the Old Kingdom and the former empire. They are very good at how to use contradictions to win over the people's hearts, and then obtain benefits, and then get out of the way.
But this time they were looking for the wrong person.
The government of the old kingdom of the former empire has collapsed with a bang, and it is the Jialan Kingdom that now rules the east.
Trying to guide public opinion in front of Vega and exacerbate the contradictions?
It's always been his old job.
In front of him, with what he does best, scratch his head here. Does this mean that he has been put on the side by the Principality of Baya, and his prestige is no longer there, and everyone wants to come up and bully him?
"No matter what your purpose is, if you disobey my will, I will not let any of them go. ”
A hint of murder flashed in Vega's eyes, and he called Qi Lisi: "In seven days, I will take action to resolve the domestic conflicts caused by this war, and then all these people will show their original form." If you don't have enough manpower, you can always ask the army for assistance. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
Hearing this, Qi Lisi replied solemnly.
As the head of the intelligence organization, she can be said to hate these rats hiding in the shadows, and if Vega has a way to make them show their original form, even if they don't need Vega's orders, she will crush their bones and scatter ashes.
Therefore, in the next few days, Vega began to deal with the internal conflicts caused by the war.
But the way he shot was a little different, and at the same time confusing everyone.
Because Vega did not personally lead the army into the people, digging out illegal organizations one by one, nor did he send intelligence personnel to go behind enemy lines, but sat firmly in the palace, as if pie would fall from the sky if he sat there, and all contradictions would be resolved automatically.
No, it's not that nothing has been done.
Over the past few days, everyone has seen that Vega has sent a total of three letters to the Western Principality of Baya.
But is this necessary to settle domestic contradictions?
No matter how you look at it, there is no necessary connection, and what is the deep meaning of this strange act of Vega?
