Chapter 66: Four Attitudes
Inside the council chamber, Alan and Village Chief Jill were relatively silent.
In the end, Allen was the first to break the peace.
"Village Chief Gil, you have also seen the situation in the Nice City area now, only by expanding can our Huaxia Territory have the strength to protect itself. β
"I don't think Chief Jill wants something like the Folkestone invasion to happen again, right?"
The village chief of Jill sighed: "I have no objection to the expansion of the territory, old man, attacking the territory occupied by the Blue Shirts, I am even more in favor of it, but the lord can't attack other people's territory for no reason." β
"If the lord of this territory is in the fish and meat country, then we will attack this territory and treat the residents well, which can be regarded as a good thing for the residents of this territory. β
"But if the inhabitants of this territory are living and working in peace and contentment, and the lord is dedicated to the people, then how is our attack on this territory different from the Folkestone Territory's attack on our Huaxia Territory?"
"My lord, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself!"
The words of the village chief of Jill made Alan fall into deep thought.
As the village chief of Jill said, if the inhabitants of a certain territory live and work in peace and contentment, and he sends troops to attack the territory for no reason, in the eyes of these inhabitants, it is an invasion, and the Huaxia Leader will play the role of an outright aggressor.
Even if you can make these residents live a better life, you can't change the fact that you are invaders.
After that, Alan and the village chief Jill talked a lot.
Alan discovers that not only has he failed to convince the chief of the village, but he has also been persuaded by the chief of the village.
"This matter will be discussed later, and Village Chief Jill should go back and rest too!"
In the end, Alan had no choice but to flee.
If it really doesn't work, let's take the territory occupied by the Blue Shirts first, and then find other ways to solve it!
After the chief of the village of Jill leaves, the Gale Hawk, who went to pursue Charlize and Eric, flew back to the territory in the night.
The Gale Eagle did not stop Charlize and the others, and they fled.
This situation was expected by Allen, after all, Charlize's strength was not weak, and if he wanted to escape, it would be difficult to keep him with the strength of the Gale Eagle.
Early the next morning, Alan gathered everyone again to the lord's mansion for a meeting. After thinking all night last night, in terms of the attitude towards attacking other territories, Alan finally thought of a compromise solution.
Allen divided the territories outside the Huaxia Territory into four categories, and treated them with four attitudes.
The first category, the territories occupied by the Blue Shirts.
There is nothing to say about this kind of territory, if the Huaxia Territory has the strength to capture it, Allen will not hesitate to send troops to capture it. Of all the territories to be attacked, the territories occupied by the Blue Shirts are the first.
The second category is villages and towns without lords.
These villages and towns without lords are theoretically under the responsibility of the city lord's office, but under normal circumstances, the city lord's office will only send people to these villages and towns to collect taxes at regular times, unless it is a large town, otherwise the city lord's office will not send troops to station in these villages and towns.
Even in large towns, the City Lord's Mansion will only send a small number of soldiers to garrison.
For these villages and towns, Alan can take over in the name of the kingdom, and now that the war is in chaos, I believe that these villages and towns are willing to protect their safety, and they will not refuse the takeover of Huaxia Ling.
The third category is those who have lords, but the lords are unpopular with the people.
For this kind of territory, Alan plans to send people to secretly contact a few highly respected people among the residents of these territories, and ask them to come forward to ask Huaxia to take action and expel the evil lord.
At that time, the Huaxia Consulate can send troops under the banner of expelling "the evil lord who eats the people and cares about people's lives", which will not only be famous, but will not arouse the hostility of the residents of the territory.
The fourth category is the territory where there are lords, and the lords are also very popular with the people. Although there should not be many such territories in the area of Nice City, the dispute between Svein and the village chief of Gil is mainly over this kind of territory.
Through last night's conversation with the village chief of Jill, Alan already knew that the village chief of Jill was opposed to attacking other territories for no reason, and loyalty to the Sun Kingdom was one thing, but the bigger reason was that he didn't want Alan to be a villain who invaded other territories for no reason.
In fact, Alan doesn't want to be this kind of evil person in his heart, whether he is hypocritical or naΓ―ve, he really hates this kind of behavior in his heart.
And this idea stems from the moral concepts he formed in modern society before he crossed over. This kind of morality has not been distorted by traveling to another world, although this kind of moral concept may be somewhat incompatible with this world.
Many people think that after a modern person travels to another world, he should be decisive and do whatever he wants.
If you encounter someone who provokes you, you should be so decisive.
I am a traverser, so I don't care about the ideas of these natives.
If you encounter a territory weaker than yourself, you will naturally have to be ruthless, how can you have the kindness of a woman?
But Allen will tell these people that this is not the case.
After crossing over, the mind may be assimilated to a certain extent by the other world, but the moral concepts formed over the past few decades will not be easily changed.
In dealing with people and things, it is inevitable that they will demand themselves with the moral norms of modern people, and they will not become reckless and do whatever they want because they have crossed into another world and have strength.
For this fourth type of territory, Alan decided to take a soft approach.
It does not directly invade these territories, but continuously improves the material and cultural life of the Chinese Territory itself, so that the Chinese Territory has an attractive atmosphere.
Let people go to these territories from time to time to implicitly publicize how good the Huaxia Territory is, so that the residents of these territories have a longing for the Huaxia Territory.
Then send envoys to promise glory and wealth to the lords of the territory, and let them merge the territory into the Huaxia territory. If these lords really think about the residents of the territory, they will definitely agree to the conditions of the Huaxia Territory and merge the territory into the Huaxia Territory when the territory is surrounded by Huaxia territory.
Alan brought up the idea at the meeting, and it was unanimously endorsed by the top brass of the territory.
The village chief of Jill did not raise any objections, and acquiesced in the proposal.
At this point, the top level of the territory has finally reached an agreement on foreign policy.
The light infantry had not yet been trained, and the plan to counterattack the Fawkestone could only wait a few more days. Fortunately, it is not without things to do in these days, because the spring harvest season has arrived.
If there's any good news about this and the Folkestone War, it's that the territory's farmland hasn't been damaged too much.
A small amount of farmland was trampled by Foxstone's soldiers, but the losses were small.
So in the next few days, the entire Huaxia Collar was busy for the spring harvest, and even the soldiers of the Guardian Army and the Guardian Army Reserve Army joined the ranks of the spring harvest.
These soldiers were originally selected from the inhabitants of the territory, and they grew up doing farm work since they were children, and now they have cultivated their fighting spirit, and their strength is much greater than before, and their work is even more efficient.
And the harvest of the spring harvest surprised all the inhabitants of the territory.
On the same land, this year's harvest is more than 30% more than in previous years!
If it's just more than one and a half percent, it can still be explained by a good year, but more than three percent is simply impossible.
Just when the residents of Huaxia Territory felt incredible, someone finally thought of the dragon statue on the central square of the territory.
When the dragon statue fell from the sky, the lord said that the dragon statue can protect the territory from natural disasters, and it can greatly increase the food production in the territory!
Now that I think about it, since the dragon statue appeared in the territory, the territory has really been smooth and rainy, and there have been no natural disasters. At the beginning of the year, it rained heavily, and many nearby villages and towns were flooded, but there was nothing wrong with Huaxia Ling.
Now that the grain harvest in the territory has suddenly increased by three percent, I'm afraid that only the explanation of the divine dragon's blessing can make sense!
Gradually, everyone believed that this was the credit of the dragon statue, and for a while, the number of residents who went to the central square to pay homage to the dragon statue increased greatly.
Many residents were originally skeptical of the dragon statue, but now in the face of hard facts, they can't help but believe it.
Grain is the most fundamental and important thing for ordinary residents, and after this spring harvest, almost all the residents in the territory have begun to believe in the dragon devoutly.
The status of the divine dragon in their hearts has even begun to be equal to that of the great sun god.
After all, the sun god never performed any miracles!
In this atmosphere, Alan heard the prompt sound of the system, and the dragon statue was upgraded!
