Chapter 315 Three shortcomings
"But what if you add all the refugees in the city of Radiance?" asked the Duke with a smile.
"This ......", the nobles in the room were skeptical of his claim. "After all, there are about a million civilians in the Holy Radiance City, and if you can mobilize all of them, even if everyone spits on them, they can flood the Holy Domain. ”
"It's just unlikely, isn't it? Even those refugees in the Sanctuary have planted a large number of people in us, and it took a lot of effort to provoke them. One of the nobles questioned directly.
"Yes, and there are many devout believers among these civilians, and there is no way they can do anything to attack the Sanctuary. ”
"Impossible? There is nothing impossible in this world. The Duke of Mortier then asked a question to the nobles present, "Ladies and gentlemen, what is the concept of a million people, and what power do they have? ”
"What if all these people gather together to start a riot? Even if they don't have weapons, they can tear down the walls of this Holy Radiance City with their fists alone. But why is it that from ancient times to the present day, there have been no examples of civilians who have rebelled and succeeded in doing so? ”
"Of course, it's because of the power of the elements, what's the use of having too many people. A warrior who can use the elements on the battlefield can defeat hundreds of people, and if they form a military formation, no matter how many ordinary people decide, they can't defeat them. Not to mention the magical magic, although the mages are weak now, the power of magic should not be underestimated, as long as there are elements, these untouchables can't make any big waves. One of the nobles said with a slight disdain.
"Exactly, exactly. As the saying goes, a dog jumps over a wall when he's in a hurry, and a rabbit bites when he's in a hurry, and these untouchables are now dying, so why don't they dare to resist?
"Why are they so scared? One word, kill!", the Duke of Mortier said the word, and the temperature in the whole room seemed to freeze.
"Only when we kill them in fear, kill them in fear, and kill them so that they carve fear into their bones, will they be as docile as lambs, and will they bow down to us and dare not have any resistance." ”
It is precisely because of this that all dynasties have always killed the riots of these untouchables without mercy. Especially the current Violet royal family, it is even more ruthless to the extreme, two years ago, two years ago, in some places in the realm of Shenghui, there were mobs attacking the local nobles and looting the grain depot. When His Majesty heard this, he raised a large army and killed all those untouchables, leaving no one alive. At that time, the blood flowed like a river, the corpses were all over the field, and there were no chickens and dogs left within a thousand miles, and the tragic situation was like hell, and you must have heard of this rumor. ”
"That's right, those dogs are going to kill them fiercely, or they'll have their tails in the sky, and they won't even pay attention to us. The nobles nodded their heads repeatedly, obviously disdainful of the mud-legged men, and untouched by the rumored massacre.
"Therefore they did not dare to make trouble in the city, but they dared to sprinkle in the holy area. Why? Just because the Holy Church has not done anything to them! These untouchables have become bold. A sneer curled at the corner of Duke Mortier's mouth.
"Don't you be curious? The food we eat is grown by these untouchables, and the raw materials of the cloth they use are also the silkworms they grow and wear, and the silkworms they need to wear are also raised by them, and the furs they use in the winter are also hunted by them. Although everyone looks down on these mud legs, there is one thing that has to be admitted: this country, without them, would never have been able to do it at that time. ”
Because of this, what is their daily life like, and what kind of people are they? I have studied it in detail because of curiosity. The Duke of Mortier spoke as if he were a scholar.
"In my opinion, although they are numerous, they generally have three shortcomings, which is the basis of my plan this time. The Duke of Mortier held out three fingers.
"The first point is that Li Lingzhi is dizzy. The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit. It is especially manifested in them, for the sake of profit, they are servile, shameless, and do everything. If the interests are damaged, it is common for blood relatives to turn their faces and draw knives against each other, and even better, they often covet interests that do not belong to them, and go to the soup to fight for it, and exhaust themselves. ”
"For example, this holy religion carries out disaster relief, and the food used for relief is originally from the holy religion, and the holy religion gives alms out of kindness, and it is blameless if it is not taken out. But these untouchables did not think so, they pleaded bitterly at the end of the road, hoping that the Holy Church would be kind, and as soon as they heard that the Holy Religion had hidden some food, they immediately turned their faces and denied people, and took the food that had not been taken out for relief as their own belongings, and burned and looted for it, without any scruples. ”
"The second point is to bully the weak and fear the hard. They are the most greedy for life and afraid of death, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, when the royal family sent a large army to suppress, in the face of the bright sword, they surrendered immediately, even if there are more people, they immediately collapsed, there is no fighting spirit, ten out of ten people, it would be good to have one or two percent of the resistance. Most of the remaining eight adults are wise to protect themselves and stay away, while the rest of them shamelessly betray their former relatives and friends, stepping on their blood and bones for profit, and are proud of it. ”
But if they were treated well by the Holy Church, these people immediately changed their faces and became a matter of course. When they smash and destroy churches, they may be mentally frightened at first, but when they find that the Holy Church not only does not punish them, but retreats at every turn, these untouchables will gain an inch and become arrogant. They treat kindness as weakness and retreat as fear. Hehe, until he hit the wall and his head was bleeding, he would cry and cry for his mother, and kneel down and beg for mercy. ”
"It's called no tears without seeing the coffin. ”
The third point is ignorance. Listening to the wind is the wind, listening to the rain is the rain, and there is no opinion of one's own. As soon as they are provoked and clamoured, they will be fooled, like puppets that have been raised. If there are more than a dozen people who persuade them, they will keep it in mind, thousands of people will clamorate, they will respond loudly, and tens of thousands of people will publicize it, and they will devote themselves to it and get carried away. There is no thinking of one's own, no judgment of one's own, and there is no opinion at all. ”
