Chapter Seventy-Three: Surrender
However, Svein's words reminded Allen.
If you show too much kindness and proximity to the people, it is inevitable that ordinary civilians will come directly to you for help if they encounter any grievances or things that cannot be resolved.
Or stop yourself halfway to avenge yourself, or go to the gate of the lord's mansion to block yourself, if there are many such things, it is indeed a bit unusual.
And the fundamental reason for this situation is not actually his own benevolence and proximity to the people, but because in the Burning Sun Kingdom and even in the four countries of the Eastern Continent, there is no legal institution that provides services to civilians.
The laws of the kingdom, which protected the interests of the nobles and the commoners, did not have any guarantees before the law.
Civilians are not completely devoid of human rights, but when their interests are violated, they have nowhere to complain.
The only legal department in the kingdom was the Court of Nobles, which, as the name suggests, was dedicated to defending the interests of the nobility.
In fact, the only chance for commoners to enter the court of the nobility was when they were tried for violating the laws of the kingdom.
As for the infringement of the interests of the commoners and want to appeal? I'm sorry, but the noble court doesn't have time to pay attention to the affairs of the commoners!
Alan decided to wait for time in the future, to call the high-level officials of the territory together, discuss the formulation of the laws of the territory, and then establish a special judicial department, and if anything happens to the residents of the territory in the future, there will be a place to complain.
The laws of Huaxia Collar can't just serve the nobles!
In fact, if it weren't for the fear of causing a joint attack on all the aristocratic forces in the continent, Allen would have wanted to directly abolish the aristocracy.
However, Alan only dared to think about it, not to mention his small Huaxia Lord, even if the Burning Sun Kingdom dared to announce the abolition of the aristocracy now, the result would only be that the entire kingdom would be wiped out in a short period of time.
"My lord, the barracks have arrived. ”
Galen's resolute voice interrupted Alan's thoughts.
Alan looked up, and sure enough, the barracks were already in front of him.
The barracks was poorly built, which shows that the Folkestone family did not pay much attention to the soldiers.
"Let's go meet the surrenderers first. Alan said.
The soldiers were said to be detained, but in fact they were only confiscated with weapons and confined to an area where they could not move freely.
In terms of food and lodging, they ate the same food as the soldiers of Huaxia Ling, lived in the same barracks of the barracks, and did not receive any unfair treatment.
When Alan arrived at the camp where the troops were deployed, ten vanguard knights were standing guard outside the camp.
It is enough to take care of more than a hundred low-ranking soldiers without weapons, and ten vanguard knights.
"Your Lord!"
Seeing Alan coming, the ten vanguard knights saluted.
Alan nodded towards the vanguard knights: "Inform all the surrendered troops, assemble outside the camp, I want to meet them." ”
"Yes!"
The vanguard knight received the order and entered the territory to inform the surrendered troops.
Soon, the soldiers were notified and all walked out of the barracks and gathered in the open space outside the barracks.
These soldiers were automatically divided into two groups, one group was the more than 100 first-order soldiers, and the other group was the guard team of more than 30 people.
"I am the lord of the Huaxia Domain, Alan Senlan. ”
Galen descended towards them.
These soldiers knew a lot more than ordinary people, and they had heard of Alan Senlan's name.
"A few days ago, Lord Folkestone led people to attack our Huaxia Territory, and among them was a reinforcement wearing blue armor, I believe you have all seen it. ”
The soldiers nodded subconsciously, they had naturally seen those blue-armored soldiers, and they were impressed, because those blue-armored soldiers were all very arrogant.
"But you may not know that those blue-armored soldiers come from a group that calls itself the Blue Shirts, and this Blue Shirts, hehe, they are attacking the territory of the kingdom, in other words, they are a rebel force within the kingdom. ”
"Lord Folkestone has defected to the Blue Shirts, this is an act of betrayal of the kingdom, and you, as soldiers of Folkestone, have nothing to do with this. ”
When the soldiers heard Allen's words, they immediately rioted.
If it is really as Allen said, their behavior can be regarded as rebellion, the death penalty is cheap, and maybe it will even affect the family!
For a while, all the soldiers were in a commotion, they felt that they had been wronged! They were just ordinary soldiers, how could they know that the lord had actually taken refuge in the thieves!
"But since you are only deceived by the Folkestones, I can bypass you this time and not report your crimes to the Kingdom. ”
Hearing Allen's words, the hearts of the soldiers who had been hanging high just now finally relaxed. At the same time, most of the soldiers are extremely grateful to Allen in their hearts, this Lord Allen, is really a good person!
Eren didn't punish them, and for these soldiers, it was tantamount to giving them a chance to regenerate.
The chief guard of the Lord's Mansion standing in the crowd had a gleam in his eyes.
"Now I will let you go back, you can think about it when you return home, whether to continue to stay in the army and become a soldier of our Huaxia Territory. Or leave the army and become a civilian from now on. ”
"After going back and thinking about it, those who are willing to stay in the army should report directly to the barracks. If you want to leave the army, you should do a good job in the family farm, and don't cause trouble in the territory. ”
"Before leaving, all of you must register your identity information, if I find out that any of you are doing evil in the territory in the future, I will add the crime of rebellion today and count it with you!"
Allen said this to give these soldiers some deterrence. After all, these soldiers are all warriors, stronger than ordinary people, and if they choose to be evil after leaving the army, it will be difficult for ordinary civilians to resist. And with Allen's words today, if they want to be evil, they have to think clearly about whether they will be caught by Allen, and count them as old accounts for rebellion.
"Svein, you have a few soldiers in charge of registering the information of these surrenders, and then let them go. ”
"Obey, lord!"
Svein commanded.
Alan left the matter to Svein and got up to leave. He believed that most of these soldiers would choose to return to the army after returning home and hearing about the treatment of the subordinates of the Chinese army.
Alan was about to leave, but was stopped by a voice.
"Lord Alan, please stay!"
Alan stopped, only to see a middle-aged man walk out of the crowd and walk towards him.
Galen stepped forward and stood in front of Allen, Galen knew this person, the chief of the guard of the Lord's Mansion Guard of Lord Folkestone, a fifth-level warrior.
Seeing that Galen was wary of himself, the chief guard stopped and stood not far from Allen.
"Looking for me?" Alan asked.
The head of the guard nodded: "There is indeed something, but it is inconvenient to talk about it here." ”
"This person is the chief of guard of the Lord's Mansion of Folkestone, a fifth-level warrior. Galen whispered to Eren who he was.
Alan nodded: "Since it's inconvenient to talk here, then you can come with me." ”
Alan took Galen and the chief of the guard to a vacant barracks.
"What's the matter, can you say it now?"
Alan asked the chief of the guard.
The chief guard turned his head to look at Galen, meaning that he wanted Galen to leave.
"Just say something, in Huaxia Ling, there is nothing that Galen needs to avoid. ”
Hearing Allen's words, a trace of unwillingness flashed in the eyes of the chief guard, but he knew that it was impossible to send Galen away.
"Lord Allen, I suppose you haven't found the Folkestone Collar vault yet, have you?"
The chief guard asked Allen.
