Chapter 113: The Weapon of Politics
When knives and swords can't solve the problem, then the next thing to consider is a soft knife that kills people without seeing blood.
Politics.
Countless generals and heroes who have conquered the battlefield have not died under the sword of the enemy, but have died in the dirty, dirty, and bottomless whirlpool of politics.
Han Weiqiang's biggest weakness is that his foundation is unstable, as mentioned earlier, he was born in the world of horseback riding and slashing, and he was born as a commoner in the setting, although he quickly ascended to the throne with his ability, but in the Swadia Kingdom, he has no aristocratic status and will be discriminated against by the ruling class.
The nobles and the commoners are like the difference between a man and a dog, a tiger and a sheep.
At least in the eyes of the traditional aristocracy, it is.
The reason why Han Weiqiang was able to become the temporary city lord and acting military commander of Fort Repole was entirely because of the fact that the soldiers were in the city and the situation forced him to appoint him on the spot, although this was excusable, but it was by no means the result that the nobles wanted to see.
Even if dogs want to sit in the human position, how can people really allow dogs to sit on an equal footing with them?
After King Haraus himself issued the appointment, almost everyone in the government and the opposition voiced opposition, similar to "insult to the royal family", "commoners should not be gullible", "challenge the authority of the aristocracy", "subvert tradition" and a series of objections began to spread from all corners of the court, and especially the old and traditional nobles of Swadia represented by Harungos even wrote to request the revocation of the appointment of Han.
But King Haraus ignored all the voices of his opponents, and at his insistence, the appointment reached Han Weiqiang in time.
All in all, it's just a stopgap measure.
However, since Han Weiqiang's dog has killed Lord Terg, boosted the morale of the Swadian army, thwarted the Nord's spirit, forced them to retreat 10 miles and set up camp, and has played his role as a dog caretaker, then next, it is time to consider putting the nobles on the throne and let the dog step down at the same time.
So, the question is: how to get Han Weiqiang to step down?
The politics of the aristocracy was generally sinful, filthy, and unscrupulous, but it was necessary to put a cloak of hypocrisy on it, and usually when the spearhead of political (harmonious) struggle was directed at a single person, they needed a high-sounding reason, just as the Kugit Khanate had set fire to the outskirts of their own village when it waged a war of aggression against the kingdom of Swadia. And for Han Weiqiang to step down from the pinnacle of power, he also needs an excuse that can hide from the ignorant lower-class people.
In fact, this seems to be a very simple matter, and if you want to add sin, why not? But in fact, although Han Weiqiang has many black spots, but his style of action can be described as leaky, he has risen all the way, completely relying on his own strategy and bravery, giving people the impression of complete integrity and might, won the support of the lower class people and lower soldiers, and even King Harlaus praised him.
If there is no black history and people who can't grasp the handle, what kind of excuse can they use to completely knock them into the bottomless abyss?
Answer: Fictional handle.
"Lord Iyaya, don't you think there are too many doubts in these two battles?"
Looking at Su Hao's meaningful eyes, Yi Aya thought for a while and said, "What's the doubt?" ”
"In these two battles, in the first battle, the Count of Degrana was killed, and at the same time, the Degrana family, which was originally very prosperous behind him, did not have a single male survive, and then, Han ascended to the throne, and at the same time, in the second battle, they won this battle, Han at least stabilized the military morale inside Fort Repalet, and the military forces that were loyal to the Earl of Degrana also fell to him because of this battle... If you want to say that there is no greasy in this, I will never believe it. ”
It dawned on Iaya at this time: "You mean, Han used our hands to get rid of Dai Lana and his family, and at the same time, he stepped on the corpse of Count Dai Lana to ascend to the throne, becoming the biggest beneficiary of this battle?" ”
Su Hao nodded and said, "Nine times out of ten, it's like this... Although we have no evidence, all the reasoning is so logical and natural. We only need to send a few small works to spread a message about this kind of unfavorable Han in Parabun, the capital of the Svadian king, and then those rotten and traditional Swadian nobles will naturally clean up this Han for us. ”
"At the same time, we have to keep an eye on Fort Repolet, if Han really has ambitions, then he may not be so willing to step down, then the appointment of a new lord and a new commander will conflict with Han's ambitions, and the interior of the seemingly impregnable Fort Repolet will also be interspersed and flawed... And then, it's time for us to make a comeback. ”
If the criticism of weapons cannot solve the problem, should we use the weapon of criticism to solve the problem?
Yiaya only then understood, he once again met Su Hao, a young man, under the seemingly gentle and peaceful appearance, there is actually an extremely dark and complex heart hidden, especially his grasp of people's hearts, it is really to the peak of the realm.
If... If he concentrates on officialdom and politics, then he will be a qualified politician, and if he is not right-minded, he will be the dirtiest, most terrible politician.
"Okay." Yiaya looked at Su Hao with a complicated gaze mixed with appreciation and other emotions, and then nodded, "Just do as you say." ”
……
That night, dozens of eloquent Nords dressed as travelers and pilgrims rode fast horses to the two largest cities in the hinterland of the kingdom of Swadia: Parabun and Suno.
……
On the city wall, looking at the Nord army that had withdrawn from the camp and northeast, the Swadia army raised its hands and shouted Han Weiqiang's name loudly:
"Han! Han! Han! ”
They not only worship Han now, but also are grateful to Han, the bad situation is obvious to all, the Count of Dai Lanna was killed, the difference between the enemy and our forces was three times, and the soldiers were in the city, this situation was almost impossible to save, but under the leadership of Han Weiqiang, the sound attacked the west, killed the enemy Chieftain Terge, and annihilated countless enemies, and even forced the enemy to withdraw from the camp and flee, which... This is no longer something that ordinary human beings can do, and it can be described as a miracle.
Therefore, everyone, whether it is the Swadia Army, who was originally impressed by Han Weiqiang's personal charm, or the Swadia Army, who was biased towards the former Earl of Degrana, is now convinced by Han Weiqiang without exception.
Han Weiqiang shouted loudly: "Victory does not belong to me alone, but to you and everyone!" ”
He then took out the sword that had been seized from Lord Terg and shouted, "Look, this is Terg's sword!" It was you, born and dead, who were not afraid of arrows and stones, and helped me to rush into the enemy camp to have such a great victory! Now, I hang him on the top of the tower, and we, to let the Nords know that the borders of the Svadia kingdom are by no means invaded by a group of barbarians! ”
Shouting slogans is already Han Weiqiang's usual method, but supplemented by the victory in military operations, it is not just a simple slogan, but a stimulant that can boost the confidence of officers and accelerate the secretion of adrenal hormones by lower-level soldiers!
Watching the sword of Lord Terg slowly hang on the top of the tower of Fort Repolete, Han Weiqiang also understood that the position of Fort Repole, the temporary city lord and acting military commander, was basically sitting firmly.
Flowers, applause, the support of the soldiers, the stunning and even admiring gazes of the girls in the city... Come in a continuous stream.
Han Weiqiang was bathed in the joy of everyone, but he did not have the slightest joy in his heart.
The other party's response makes people feel very suspicious.
Because Su Hao gave him the feeling that he was not a person who gave up so easily, if the Nord army temporarily withdrew 10 miles, then the other party must be thinking of other means to deal with him. Although he has secured the two positions of temporary city lord and military acting commander, the discordant words "temporary" and "generation" actually represent the instability of the position... Although he had the full support of the soldiers and the common people, the upper classes could remove them from the throne of power with a single order.
If Su Hao wants to stab the invisible soft knife twice in his back, then how should he deal with it?
Xu Huiqian, everything can only depend on you.
