Chapter 534 [Determination of Difficulties (10) Tigers Are Not as Good as Dogs]
"This Reinhardt is really going to give us trouble. β
As soon as she walked through the door, Sophie began to complain, muttering quietly with a different expression on her face: the joy of victory, plus a little bit of relief.
However, hearing this, Green, who was sitting there, laughed at the young chief of staff's consistent performance was too calm and cold, but at this moment, he showed a little bit of the emotions of a girl of her age, which made Green a little uncomfortable.
But official business is official business after all, Green coughed, and then said with a straight face: "You saw the battle report?"
"I saw it halfway through. Sophie yawned a little tiredly: "Reinhardt did a beautiful job, but he did things too well, and the aftermath was a headache." It's no wonder that Sophie looked tired, she was still in Noz, and she got the news of Char's return, and then before she set foot on the return journey, she heard that Char's soldiers were fighting in four ways, and when she ran back to Siltan New City non-stop, she had already received the news of pacification on both sides of the east road, but just like that, she didn't see Char, but heard that Char had run to the west with the people and horses This chief of staff was angry, but it was not good to attack, so he could only start preparations in the new city, gather people, and transfer logistics and administrative officials from all levels, and then ordered a batch of grain and grass to be prepared, and then took people all the way to the westγ
Winning the war is the credit of the generals, but the work of cleaning up the aftermath after the war, how to really eat the territory that has been beaten depends on the civilian officials.
Sophie has not rested these days, fighting wits with Hasting, from north to south, from east to west, all the way, the original round face, it looks like the chin is also a little sharper, but the spirit is good.
Green smiled, then sighed and looked into Sophie's eyes: "Hasting...... No problem?", Sophie nodded: "Let Char have a headache about this, I'm just running errands." But ......", she seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then shook her head: "I think I probably miscalculated, Hastings seems to have some personal relations with our General Char, and they are ............", this did not go on, after all, this topic is a bit taboo and fornicating with the enemy generals" In any case, it is difficult to say too clearly.
"Reinhardt was too hard at what he did. Sophie finally showed a solemn expression and said slowly: "The hand he played in Notting was very bright, but he offended people too deeply. Green understood what Sophie meant.
From a military point of view, Reinhardt was cunning and effective: he used the lives of his prisoners of war to threaten the civilians of the city not to assist the defenders, and the defenders slaughtered the civilians in the city.
No one in this world is a fool, although people hated the defenders of the city at that time, but after thinking about it a little, people with a little brain will understand that this Reinhardt is the culprit.
It was he who forced the civilians and defenders of the city to turn against each other, and he was the one who started the massacre."
Although Nordin was defeated, the civilians were only afraid that they hated the Northern Army in their hearts, and "most of the blood debts of those family members who were killed had to be recorded on the heads of the Northern Army."
This is a lot of headaches for how to deal with the aftermath afterwards, how to calm the people's hearts, and really eat this territory.
"Two things have to be done. Sophie sighed, obviously these thoughts, she had already thought about them on the way here: "The capital city of Nordin should be downgraded According to the administrative pattern of the empire, the Tema military region and the county are at the same level, and the capital of the military region and the county capital are at the same level" However, Nordin's territory is too small, since it has been defeated, it is too wasteful to maintain the administrative shelf of a county here, and there is no need. It is better to relegate Nordin and directly include it in the category of Syrtan County. The capital of Notting was also directly downgraded to an administrative district. β
"Well, what else?", "And ...... Migration of populations. Sophie frowned and said: "Reinhardt has done too ruthlessly, and now the people of Nordin have a hard time getting rid of the hatred in their hearts, and this kind of hatred can't be eliminated by issuing any notice to reassure the people, it is better to do it directly, and move most of the residents of this city out, break up and move to other places, and get them to all parts of Siltan County." As for those prisoners of war...... After the one-year period is over, those who are willing to stay will be paid according to the treatment of the migrant workers recruited, and those who are unwilling to work will go home to farm. Anyway, the next labor we need is very large. And ......", "And so on." Green frowned: "Migratory population...... I mean, just after the war, and the people below are panicking, if you do this, ...... "It's going to be chaotic, it's going to be a little chaotic." But long pain is better than short pain. Sophie's tone was firm: "There is no safer way to eliminate hidden dangers in a short time." We fought too fast, the territory we ate was too big, and we ate so much in one go, I was afraid that we would hold on...... Hmph, if you want to really digest it, you have to use some means. I plan to go to the capital of Notting, and then count the household registration in the city, and compile all the military families of the original Notting Army in another book, and break them up and move to different places, so that if they are scattered, they will not be connected in series, and they will be thrown everywhere, and after a few years, they will be assimilated. As she spoke, she whispered, "Lord Green, you also have to consider the idea of an independent cavalry regiment...... They fought so hard with the Notins, and many people died, if we treat the Notdins too favorably, the people of the Independent Cavalry Regiment are only afraid and unhappy, and if they want to fight the world, they will rely on these generals to serve with their lives. I have one more thought...... There is a lot of land around the capital city of Notting, so it is better to give rewards to the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in this war according to the previous practice. β
"Differentiation and tie-up", "Yes! Differentiation!" Sophie's face was awe-inspiring: "Beckerp Military Region, Bolo Military Region...... Those who surrendered early should be given favors! And the Nordins, whose stubborn resistance and foreign aid have also been brought in, will be severely punished if they oppose us to the end! Let the world understand what kind of fate will happen to those who oppose us to the end! Nordin "is the example we have erected!" Speaking of this, she glanced at Green: "Now is the troubled times, and the troubled times use heavy codes." β
Green is a military general, a military general who has killed countless people, although his temperament is calmer, "but he is definitely not a soft-hearted person." He thought about it for a while, and felt that what Sophie said made sense, so he nodded: "I don't have any opinion, these things belong to the aftermath of civil affairs, you can go and report to Lord Char yourself." β
"Then again...... What about Char?", Sophie sighed, "I still have to report to him about Hasting's affairs, waiting for him to drag the board." β
Sophie finally met Char in Notting's capital.
The capital city of the Nottings was not a big city, and it was not even better than Denzel in Morshire, which was a border town and its walls had been heightened and thickened for military purposes.
And this capital city of Notting, with a population of only 30,000, the only difference is that the streets in the city are more prosperous than ordinary small towns, and the governor's palace in the city is slightly larger and more luxurious.
Char arrived here on the third day after the capture of Notting City, and after the Northern Army occupied the city, Reinhardt did not stay here, and he immediately swept around with his cavalry to "pacify his place in the whole territory of the Notting Military Region as quickly as possible."
And there is another person who also stays here with Char, that is the "Tiger of Notting" Tegel.
This Tegel, from any point of view, can be regarded as a capable guy El Salvador appreciates him is not unreasonable, and he has resisted the strongest independent cavalry regiment of the Northern Army for so many days with the weak army of the Notting Military Region, and his methods are ruthless and decisive, and he is indeed a powerful guy.
Now that Nordin has been pacified, everyone is speculating about what to do with this Tegel.
After the other three military regions were pacified, Char did not have too ruthless means for the governors of the three military regions, they were all tolerant, and he did not embarrass them too much, but just took away the official title "The whole family moved to the new city of Siltan County, and their family property was not confiscated" but allowed them to retain their power in the future, and they are honest today's rich people.
Even the famous "naked governor" did not have a miserable end, and took a family of wives and concubines, old and young, and obediently went to the new city.
But this Tegel ......
Many people are speculating that Char may have taken pity on him, after all, such a person is very capable, and if he is called to use it under his command, it is not bad.
But...... οΌ... In the eyes of many, it seems that the only concern is "... This Tegel is Salvador's son-in-law.
In the long run, El Salvador must be Char's enemy, and as the head of the Red Round Table Alliance, El Salvador will not easily submit to Char.
So, "...
Char didn't think much about it, he temporarily put Tiger back home, and sent troops to guard outside.
But unexpectedly, Tegel quickly helped him solve this problem!
Early the next morning after the "Tiger of Notting" was released home, he took the initiative to ask to see Char!
Moreover, he didn't ask to see him so casually!
Last night, Tegel killed his wife with his own hands, and killed all the people of his wife's clan who lived in his house, the officials and servants, a total of eleven people, with his own hands!
When he came to see Char early the next morning, he even had blood stains on his clothes! When he was taken out of the door by Char's soldiers, he still carried a bloody short knife in his hand!
Char opened the door and walked out, standing on the steps and looking condescendingly at this Notting Tiger.
Tegel immediately withdrew his hand and threw the knife in his hand, fell to his knees on the ground, and paused repeatedly, and when he raised his head, his forehead was already red.
Tegel looked respectful and said loudly: "Lord Char, I am bent on going my own way, acting against the current, and daring to stop my lordship...... The Lord is now in the middle of the day, and no one in the empire can match, and the coming day will definitely be to sweep the north and the south and achieve immortal deeds! I am convinced, and I only hope that the Lord will be merciful and let me make meritorious deeds! My Lord always has to use people, although I am stupid, but I am also willing to serve the Lord as a dog and horse, but", he said in a sincere manner, but Char's expression became more and more cold when he heard this, and he directly interrupted him: "You killed your wife and child last night?"
"Yes, my lord!" Tegel's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "My wife is the daughter of El Salvador, and El Salvador is an enemy of the lord, how can I keep her any longer!
"You killed your wife, killed her with your own hands?" Char interrupted him again, his expression becoming more and more aggressive.
Tegel was swept by Char's eyes, and his heart suddenly panicked.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Char's mouth, and his eyes were full of murderous aura without reservation!
"I originally thought that you were a character, with your ability, you could prepare before the war, and block my army for more than ten days, you can be regarded as a talent, I originally wanted to keep you to work for me, but I didn't expect that your character is so inferior and shameless!"
Tegel was stunned.
"Your wife is the woman who gets along with you day and night! She is the woman who shares the bed with you! You kill her, in order to seek the rich future of your family, when you go under the knife, have you ever thought about your past relationship? ! Kill ...... with a knife", good, ruthless enough!!"
After speaking, Char raised his hand: "Come on, pull out this despicable and shameless thing, and hang it in the city!
His guards immediately rushed up and kicked Tegel to the ground, and then the rope was tied up, and Tegel immediately screamed and shouted: "My lord, I slaughtered my wife clan to draw a small line with the Salvadoran traitors, so that I can serve you loyally in the future!
"Phew!"
Char spat at Tegel's face and scolded angrily: "Bullshit! For the sake of your own rich future, your beloved relatives will be killed! Then Salvador used to take good care of you, appreciated you, and married his daughter to you, and when you were in trouble, he sent troops to help you, but you directly called him a traitor! You have no conscience and shameless to keep you by your side, it's like sleeping with a poisonous snake, you are a fool to be Lao Tzu! Pull it out and hang it!"
Tiger was lifted out in a cry and was soon hanged under the city gates.
When Sophie arrived in the city in a horse-drawn carriage, she saw the corpse hanging from the pole next to the city gate, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, and many pointing fingers.
Sophie immediately asked people to inquire, and learned that it was the old man of Nordin who was hanged, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised, in her opinion, this person who is capable of Mou, it is a good choice to stay and collect it for his own use, but she didn't expect Char to be slaughtered like this.
When she came to the former governor's palace to see Char, before she could say anything else, Sophie asked first, "That Notting Tiger, you killed it?"
"What Notting's Tiger. Char scoffed and said coldly: "That thing is not even as good as a dog." β
