Chapter 977: The First of a Hundred Battles (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Bell, bell...... , the tattered gong made a piercing sound under the blow.

Loud voices echo through the town, breaking the town's unique tranquility.

"Bell, folks, come out quickly. Bells. The old and the troops are all good people. ”

"Come out quickly. Bells. They don't grab food. ”

"The chief said, bell, they don't rob the girl. ”

β€œ...............”

But not surprisingly, although the mayor had pulled his throat and struck a gong twice around the town, his shouting had no effect.

Families still keep their doors closed.

And although the door had not changed, all the soldiers could feel that the door was closed tighter.

And from the crack in the door, in the window, you can vaguely see the vigilant and frightened gaze of Chapter 977 The First of a Hundred Battles (Asking for a Monthly Pass).

This made all the officers and men of the Lao He unit feel extremely uncomfortable. It's as if someone is pricking them in the back with a needle.

After a circle around the town, the mayor walked back alone.

He bitterly looked at the old face, as if he was owed more than eight million yuan, and stood helplessly in front of Archbishop Sandos, bowed again and again, and said: "My lord, this villain really can't call them." ”

Archbishop Sandos patted the old mayor on the shoulder, smiled brightly, showed two rows of bright and smooth teeth, and said, "Old fellow, do you think that my uncle and I are Kaizi, and my money is so easy to take, master?"

As he spoke, he threw a look to the side.

The guard next to him immediately pulled out half of the long sword with a "poof", and the bright sword body reflected the firelight and shook it in front of the old man's eyes. With a fierce and vicious look, he glared at him viciously.

No matter what skin it wears, a wolf will always be a wolf.

In the same way, no matter what clothes they wear, the ruffians will always be ruffians, and these pups don't have many good things.

Not to mention killing someone, even if a few people come up and beat him half to death, it is also a simple thing.

The old mayor was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he almost fell to the ground Chapter 977 Before the Hundred Battles (asking for a monthly ticket), the sophistication that was originally as good as a dried orange peel instantly turned white.

Archbishop Sandos sneered, and couldn't stop scolding in his heart: These cheap bones~!

After the autumn harvest every year, in order to collect the "eleventh tax" stipulated by the Holy See, his old man did not stop running to the countryside. I often deal with those town mayors, township mayors and so on.

I am quite experienced in grassroots work, and I know very well what the virtues of these grassroots petty bureaucrats are.

Eat and take cards, and be proficient in everything.

One is more treacherous and slippery than the other.

If you respect him for a foot, he wants a zhang~!

Give a little favor, and they will think you are weak and deceitful, and kick your nose in the face.

Do everything you can to knock something out of your hand as well.

If you scare and scare them, or beat them with a whip, or cut off two dogs' heads, they are absolutely obedient and honest, and one runs faster than the other.

To deal with these cheap bones, you have to pay equal attention to grace and power~!

With a sad face, the old mayor bowed to His Excellency the Archbishop and pleaded, "Your Excellency, Your Lordship, you will be angry for the time being.

Listen to me. Here's the thing.

More than a year ago, our Hafs was occupied by the Maple Leaf Danlin people, and at that time, our town was miserable, and the villagers were afraid. ”

Archbishop Sandos was furious.

He glared, his eyebrows almost stood up, and he scolded, "Nonsense." The Maple Leaf Danlin Coalition Army is a mighty army, a civilized army, and wherever it goes, it has not committed any crimes in the local autumn."

Speaking of this, he saw that the soldiers around him were all grinning, and even the old mayor who had been stabbed by the knife in the neck was also disdainful.

Archbishop Sandos, as a middle and high-level manager of the Holy See, has obtained a professional babe of the fourth or sixth degree. Usually I don't lie to people, but at this time, I also feel that there is really no way to say this nonsense.

He coughed lightly, and hurriedly changed his words: "Well, at least there is no offense with the local Pingming people. ”

The Maple Leaf Danlin coalition army raided the Almohad nobles, and that was an interesting story that spread throughout the continent.

Especially Lord Lorraine.

He had a great reputation in this regard, and the nobles of the shaved Almohads screamed like fat pigs to the slaughter. I was miserable.

In private, some people affectionately call the lord "Luo Papi,". It can be seen from this that his means are powerful.

Of course, it cannot be said that the coalition forces did nothing in Almohd Dyu.

Archbishop Sandos barely rounded his nose, and he was also sweating profusely from a tired end.

He took a breath, and then continued: "Don't think that I don't know, my lord, how could the Feng army be a scourge to the people when the military discipline was strict?"

Keep your mouth in check, don't talk nonsense when you shouldn't.

If you talk nonsense again, be careful that I sue you for slander~!

Let you go to the Inquisition and drink *coffee~!"

In the Maple Leaf Danlin Coalition Army back then, many people are in the current peacekeeping force. Not to mention Lord Lorraine, or even the current Pope Shilme Lì Yaxià, but they all participated in person.

This old guy dares to speak ill of the Maple Leaf Danlin Alliance, that is, to speak ill of His Majesty the Pope, to speak ill of the Pope, that is, to speak ill of the God of Light, to speak ill of the God of Light, that is to blaspheme.

Blasphemy, that's heresy~!

Different... Heresy, that is, there is nothing to say.

The Holy See, which represents brilliance and justice, has to hold the compassion of curing the sick and saving people, taking the world as its own responsibility, and rolling up its sleeves to tie the dog cub to the cross, and then set up dry wood to purify his ** and soul with the blazing fire.

The old mayor immediately shuddered.

Everyone knows that the Inquisition, a place worse than hell. Those who go in can't get out. What the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in which it is all appetizers.

He waved his hand again and again, a layer of white sweat appeared on his head, and he said eagerly!" I'm not talking about the Maple Leaf Danlin people, I... I'm talking about our own people, our own people. ”

"Your own people?" said Archbishop Sandos.

"Alas," the old mayor hung his head and let out a long sigh, and said, "After the army of Maple Leaf Danlin left, we were full of bandits here, they killed people and set fires, extorted money, and did all kinds of evil, and the villagers were deeply affected.

Within two days of this peaceful day, you came again, and the villagers were frightened by the disaster. ”

Archbishop Sandos patted him on the shoulder and said, "You go and call everyone out, we are old and troops." Our task is to maintain world peace and put down rebellions. However, it seems that everyone has a little misunderstanding about us, so let's clarify it.

We, the old and the army, we will not harm the common people, and we will not let Hadu harm the common people again.

Archbishop Sandos waved his hand to the soldiers behind him and said, "You guys, come with the mayor." Whoever doesn't want to, let me bring him out. ”

Listening to the voice of Archbishop Sandos squeezing out between his teeth, the soldiers immediately understood.

They regained the feeling they had when they were tyrannical in the countryside, and immediately laughed, picked up the mayor and went down the street to call people.

Seeing the wolf-like soldiers behind them, especially when the weapons on their bodies collided, there was a sound of Kara Kara, and the mayor of the town had a dead expression, so he had to accept his fate and knock on their door from house to house.

The mayor of the town limply patted the door knocker of the resident's house.

The officer behind him glared at him dissatisfied, and shouted, "Why don't you have enough to eat?"

Brothers knock on my door. ”

Several soldiers stepped forward and banged the door.

This is also because Archbishop Sandos has an order to be polite, they are not here to clear the countryside, but to maintain peace.

To put aside their usual temper, a few big feet have already kicked the gate and knocked it down.

The mayor of the town cried with a sad face, and pleaded outside the door: "Old De, come out, the military masters really don't rob food." I promise. ”

The people in the house did not open the door for a long time, and the soldiers simply blocked the door and did not leave, and kept beating hard, and the two doors were smashed.

After shooting for a few minutes, the people in the door saw that they had no intention of leaving, and finally cautiously opened the door, opened a palm-wide gap, and looked at a few people outside the door with a suspicious gaze.

The old mayor smiled and said, "Old De, go to the middle of the town, the generals are here to engage in goodwill activities. ”

The resident inside hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave now." ”

When they came out, they carefully closed the door again, and while peeking at the soldiers in front of them, they found the lock and locked the door. Then he slowly walked towards the middle of the town.

Slowly, there were more and more people, and there seemed to be no danger, and many residents spontaneously walked out of their homes and went to the middle of the town to see the excitement without shouting.

Soon, there were almost a thousand people gathered in the middle of the town.

Archbishop Sandos cleared his throat and raised his voice in a professional voice that he had cultivated so hard: "Folks, the people of Almohad. We are soldiers of the peacekeeping force. We are here to maintain world peace, eradicate the traitors of Amor and Haddou, and to maintain the peace and contentment of the people, and to create a stable and prosperous Almohd. ”

As soon as Archbishop Sandos's voice fell, the mayor applauded vigorously.

However, the old mayor was the only one in the crowd who was applauding desperately, and the old mayor had seen a little bit of the market and knew that the leader would applaud after speaking.

But everyone else stood silently, and the scene instantly looked extremely embarrassing.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers under the Fourth Army reacted quickly and immediately shouted, "Okay, that's right~!"

Then he clapped his hands vigorously, so as not to embarrass Archbishop Sandos.

But just as everyone was clapping, a childish voice in the crowd suddenly shouted: "General Hadou is a good person, you are the aggressor, woo"

It seems that he was immediately covered by someone else.

The mayor looked back at the crowd nervously, and said with a flattering smile: "General, 1 child is talking nonsense, don't be like him." ”

Then he looked back at the crowd and shouted: "Whose hairy child, still not sleeping, take it back and bring it back~!"

Archbishop Sandos frowned and thought for a moment, and said categorically: "No~!"

Then he pointed to the middle of the crowd and said, "You let him speak." ”

The crowd instantly dispersed into an open space, revealing two people in the middle, one big and one small, and the adults were pulling the children hard to go back.

With a wave of his hand, Archbishop Sandos rushed into the crowd and stopped the two men. Then Archbishop Sandos walked up to the child, habitually touched his pocket, and when he pulled out the pocket, it was empty, and then he remembered that he had not gone to the countryside to condole.

Archbishop Sandos clapped his hands, bent down to stand in front of the child, showed a most kind smile, and said: "1 Little friend, what you just said is very good, can you tell your uncle again?"

The child pointed at Archbishop Sandos and said loudly: "You can't deceive me, the book says that you are all invaders, and we are all bad because of you."

The queen is also a bad person, she brought foreigners in twice to beat us, she is a traitor~!

General Haddou will kill you all, and then we'll be fine. ”

It was a loud voice, but it resounded throughout the town.

The old mayor had a shocked expression on his face, and secretly said in his heart: It's over~!

At this time, Archbishop Sandos turned his head and glanced coldly at the mayor, and the old mayor subconsciously touched his neck, as if his neck would be neatly broken from the middle in the next second.

"What does the book say?" Archbishop Sandos frowned, reached out and touched his wallet, but regretfully found that there were only gold coins in it, and painfully took out a gold coin from it, stuffed it into the child's hand, and said, "Take it to buy candy." Sue Uncle SΓΉ, which book says it?"

Don't look at the child's age, the gold and silver can be recognized clearly, when he saw that there was a bright yellow coin in his hand, he smiled and showed his teeth, he knew that this small round coin was enough for him to buy delicious things in the town.

The child clutched the gold coin tightly, and the hand holding the money was also behind his back, for fear that the uncle would ask him to go back again, and kept the wall next to him, and said, "What is said in that book is still read to us by the mayor of the town." ”

Archbishop Sandos stood up, snatched the torches from the soldiers beside him, and went straight to the wall where the child fingered.

As soon as the fire shone brightly, Archbishop Sandos saw a large piece of paper pasted on the white wall, and the paper was densely written in large letters.

After carefully looking at it three times, Archbishop Sandos sneered and muttered, "I guessed so." ”

The content of the newspaper is generally to count the crimes of the Maple Leaf Danlin Army and the peacekeeping forces, as well as the charges of Queen Isabella for colluding with foreign forces to interfere in the country's affairs.

The current state of the Almohads is attributed to the emperor's mediocrity, the queen's treachery, the greed of the courtiers, and the misdeeds of foreign intervention forces, only Amor and General Haddou are magnificent, and the south is thriving under his leadership.

The newspaper concluded by appealing that only the path of General Haddou was the path of light, the path of victory, and the only way out for Almohad.

The people of the whole country are waiting to open the door to welcome Haddou, who will not pay for food when he comes.

Archbishop Sandos immediately recognized the severity of this matter, and thought that Bishop Sandos knew very well in his heart that what was written on this big-character poster was seven parts true and three points false, which was extremely confusing.

The real thing is that the Almohads have gotten to this point because the emperor is mediocre, the officials are greedy and lawless, and the nobles are extremely poor and extravagant, resulting in the common people's taxes becoming heavier and heavier, and the annual harvest is not even enough to pay taxes, and they are also blackmailed by the grassroots officials.

And Empress Isabella did cooperate with the Maple Leaf Danlin Coalition Army, and the peacekeepers also sent troops to Almohads at the request of Queen Isabella.

The common people see these things in their eyes and understand very well in their hearts, the common people don't care about the emperor above their heads, whether the surname is Neodos or the surname Haddou, as long as the emperor can let them eat well and dress warmly.

This emperor can't do it, change his surname to "Hadu, come, maybe we can live a good and happy life from now on."

And Haddou has done a lot for ordinary people because of his big plans. Many Almohads have a good impression of Haddou.

Archbishop Sandos also knew in his heart that Haddou's popularity among the people was very good, and that the people's support was very important at such times.

If the common people are convinced that it is better to choose Haddou, then the peacekeepers are likely to fall into the sea of people's war.

Political struggles, public opinion support, and public opinion cannot be violated by these things, Archbishop Sandos is really clear.

A child dares to say in front of him that they are invaders, and no one cares about the big-character posters on the wall, which shows that this kind of argument has a very good market among the people.

He may not be able to fight, but it is his profession to engage in this, and Archbishop Sandos deduced in an instant the possible consequences of strictness.

But in the most critical place, this big-character poster is secretly changing concepts, fabricating and slandering. And he is extremely proficient in playing.

The peacekeepers are here to fight the Amor and Haddou, not the Almohads people. Although now it seems inevitable that there will be a war with the people of the southern provinces of Almohad.

And the driving force behind today's situation is Amor, Haddou himself.

Because of the heavy blow to the Almohad nobility, the coalition of Maple Leaf Danlin, especially Lord Lorraine, and Queen Isabella's reforms were also very successful.

But these things happened between the palace and the palace, and it was impossible for the common people to understand the things within the high-level, they could only see what they could see, and make judgments based on this, in their opinion, Hadu became the emperor, maybe it was really better than the current emperor.

Archbishop Sandos pointed to the newspaper on the wall and said, "Someone, take it down for me." ”

A few relatives hurriedly went up, hurriedly trying to rip the newspaper off the wall.

But it had been on for so long that it had been tightly attached to the wall, and the soldier had only pulled down a few strips of shredded paper when he tore it carefully.

The soldiers looked at Archbishop Sandos in embarrassment and said, "My lord, this can't be done. ”

Archbishop Sandos looked at it with a frown and said, "Stupid, knock down the whole wall for me." ”

"Obey" The soldiers responded happily, and rolled up their sleeves and prepared to start smashing the wall.

The old mayor was in a hurry, ran to the wall, waved his arm to stop the soldiers, and said loudly: "Wait, wait, wait, wait." Don't smash don't smash. ”

This wall is the old mayor's own home.

The soldiers also knew what was pasted on the wall, seeing that this old guy even dared to defend this kind of ** words, the soldiers took out their weapons and shook them, and said with a cruel smile: "Get out of the way, do you want to die~!"

The old mayor himself clinged to the wall, desperately protecting his property, and shouted: "My lord, do you want the paper on the wall? I still have it, I still have it~!"

Archbishop Sandos waved his hand and asked his subordinates to put away their weapons, and said impatiently, "Go and get it for me." ”

"Yes, yes," said the old mayor, who spread his legs and ran back to the yard at a speed not befitting his age, and after a few breaths, he ran back panting with a thick stack of papers. (To be continued!!
