Chapter 654: Punishment (I)
When Lomin signed the instrument of surrender in the presence of many nobles and several priests, the last of Vytautas's worries were finally dispelled.
If Luo Ming still wants to violate the negotiated conditions and initiate it, his credibility and reputation will fall to the bottom.
Moreover, the pastor who has become a Witness and his church power will never allow him to use them in this way.
Next, it's time to officially enter the surrender link.
The earth at dusk was full of torches, which were lit as soon as it was dark.
At this moment, from the Beran camp, the soldiers walked out one by one, put their weapons and armor in their designated places, and then walked to the open space one hundred and fifty meters away, where their temporary settlement was located.
In the temporary settlement, Luo Ming's men were distributing food - all the food in the Belan military camp was to be left in place, and Luo Ming would take over after that.
There is only wheat porridge that is not too thick, which is enough for the stomach, but if you only eat it, you will not have enough strength to fight.
Of course, Luo Ming's move did not really intend to confiscate all of their weapons and armor, although so many weapons and armor did make him salivate, but he still held back, and did not break his promise for this benefit.
These weapons and armor were to be loaded uniformly, the bow was to be wound, the barrel of the gun was to be separated from the spear head, and then the Berans were to take it away—Login would also send someone to escort it, and it was also an overseer.
Of course, in order to keep so many weapons, Vytautas took out his private money to pay an extra ransom.
The royal family and the central government of the Belan Federation do not have strong control over the local area, and they are much worse than the Duchy of Lothar, and private fights are frequent.
Vytautas returned with these soldiers and weapons and armor, presumably to find a few neighbors to fight and swallow them up in chaos to strengthen his own strength, so he paid the ransom very happily.
In this surrender, the Berans themselves were treated kindly, but for the servants and the Belt, the situation was different.
That's when the consensus reached by Lomin and Vytautas came into play.
Some time ago, Vytautas forcibly moved the families of the servant army to this vicinity.
Of course, this is equivalent to hostages, so that they have no way to escape, but at this moment these "hostages" have changed hands and fall under Luo Ming's control.
The morale of the servant army was almost instantly reduced to zero, and no one of them was willing to fight after hearing that they would not be treated excessively after surrendering.
Even if their lords and nobles came out to scold, few people dared to move.
And Luo Ming sent cavalry to supervise the side, these nobles couldn't run if they wanted to, seeing that the "Belan Taijun" had surrendered, and his subordinates refused to fight, they had to surrender.
After all, the servants were civilians, and they were coerced by their lords to fight.
No one planned to punish them much, or even if they were punished, a group of poor ghosts couldn't squeeze a few taels of oil, and Luo Ming directly gave up this little profit.
But these nobles who defected to the enemy were different, they clearly chose to defect to the enemy's camp of their own will.
Princess Victoria also pointed out in her speech some time ago that these traitors should be severely punished, and with her words as a guarantee, now from Luo Ming down to any minor nobleman who has the right to participate in the meeting, can't wait to slaughter them fiercely.
