From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 139: Massacre threat

After all, the military alliance between Richard and Lu Yang was formed, but they were both very tacitly undisclosed, and communicated with each other in a secret letter.

Lu Yang didn't dare to make it public, because he didn't want the Tufan Kingdom and the two victorious guards to discover his intention to resolutely resist, otherwise the Shule Army would be besieged by the army.

With the morale of the army in Shule Army Town, if it is besieged, it is likely to collapse from within!

No matter how good a military town is, people need to be defended. If the soldiers don't have the heart to fight, and the officers don't have the belief in victory, they just want to surrender and save their lives. How can this battle be fought?

After the Battle of Qiuci, even the low-level soldiers now know the huge power gap between the two sides. It would be futile to continue to resist. If it were not for the support of the Han nationality, Lu Yang would even be assassinated by the surrenders below!

Because of this, even if Richard took the initiative to preach, Lu Yang would deny it!

After all, Richard was just a small warlord who only occupied the land of the two provinces. His political voice was too low and he had not been taken seriously in the Western Regions. The Tufan Kingdom did not even send anyone to persuade Richard to surrender.

Because Richard uprooted the Zhaowu family who had taken refuge in the Tufan Kingdom and was listed as unpopular by the Tubo people...

In Anguo and Shi Guofu, Richard's name may be as thunderous. From the serfs of the Semu people to the landlords and gentry of the Han people, they can only look up to King Daming. But in the eyes of the big bosses who really hold power in the Western Regions, Richard is just taking advantage of it. The grassroots warlords who emerged in the chaotic period are nothing more.

As for the reason why Richard didn't publicize the alliance with Lu Yang, his next goal is to defend the Kang Guo Mansion, which has an empty garrison!

In early June of the first year of the King of Ming Dynasty, Richard led three field regiments and direct subordinate system soldiers, a total of 10,000 troops, and encumbered a large group of civilians composed of Wansemu serfs, and drove to Kangguo Mansion!

The first year of the King of Daming was the reign title established by the queen under Richard’s organizational system. Since he has established himself as the king, he naturally cannot continue to use the reign title of the Tang Dynasty. Like other forces, the Tufan Kingdom also changed the reign title, Anlushan The forces of the Tang Dynasty also no longer use the Datang Reign.

It was the beginning of spring when Richard became independent, so he did not formally prepare his army until June.

The main force of tens of thousands, the rate of iron armor is more than half, and there are tens of thousands of **** serfs, young and strong. A total of more than 20,000 people entered the Kangguo Mansion, which frightened the remaining officials of the Kangguo Mansion.

Because of the Battle of Qiuci, Kangguo’s Datang field troops and dental soldiers have long been drawn out. Even the patrol team of the Fubing and county soldiers that can be played in the Kangguo has been drawn by more than 60%. Today, only Kangguo’s mansion is left. The guards of the government with less than four digits, including the officials and government officials, are only worth over a thousand.

What kind of merchandise are the remaining temporary conscripts of the Servant Army of the Secret Eyes? The officials of the Kingdom of Kang are like Mingjing. As long as the tens of thousands of troops are set up outside the city, these Secret Eyes will not collapse on the spot, even if they do not collapse on the spot...

The morale of Semu people fighting for the Han people has always been low, and even the elimination of the green skin requires the Han people to supervise the team to watch, let alone fighting with humans?

After the army arrived, Richard ordered the Semumen servants who accompanied the army to build siege equipment, while sending people to shoot into the Kangguofu city to persuade him to surrender.

The conditions given by Richard are very simple: surrender and surrender. Both officials and local gentry can keep their lives and their wealth, and except for a few important official posts, most officials' positions will not change.

Anyway, Richard did not have many civil servants to replace the bureaucratic system of Kang Guofu. If the Kang Guofu officials knew the current affairs, Richard wouldn't mind letting them continue to work for himself.

Of course, if you are stubborn and ineffective, the day the city breaks is the time to massacre the city!

Richard believes that his army has entered the territory of Kangguo Mansion for so long, that the bureaucrats of Kangguo Mansion will not be so stupid that they don't even send people to investigate their basic information.

The capture of Dashi Town, the brutal suppression of the Semu riots, and the subsequent series of wars are nothing secretive. As long as people are sent to the State Palace of Shi to collect information, it is easy to obtain.

It is difficult to keep the news of this kind of large-scale war secret, and Richard did not intend to keep his actions secret. If the hegemony monarch is too benevolent, it is not easy to conquer the world. Why did the Mongols in history fight under the leadership of Genghis Khan’s descendants? All over Eurasia?

It’s not because the Mongols are known for their brutality, all the cities that resisted were slaughtered, and finally scared the ordinary cities to surrender one by one...

It is useless to be full of benevolence and righteousness in a war. Only absolute strength can make the enemy fear and conquer.

What's more, Richard's treatment of surrendered officials is indeed good. The middle and low-level officials Richard has hardly changed. Although the high-ranking officials in front of them have lost their positions, they have not left the officialdom. They just changed their positions and are more powerful than before. It's lower.

In addition to the drastic changes in the military power of Richard, most of the reforms of the administrative system remained at the cabinet level, with little changes in the middle and low levels.

The reason is simple. Richard feels that Datang’s grassroots administrative system is sufficient for the current situation, and he does not have too many officials to replace the administrative civil service system.

Therefore, as long as the bureaucrats of Kang Guofu surrender, Richard can immediately take over the order system of Kang Guofu intact, and only need to airborne a few leaders to reform the patrol house and control Kang Guofu.

If Kang Guofu insists on resisting, Richard can only fulfill his promise to kill chickens and monkeys, and bloodbath the Kang Guofu city on the day of breaking the city, so that his enemies will face up to the name of King Daming!

In this era, there will be no moral pressure to slaughter the city. Even the self-proclaimed orthodox Tang Dynasty slaughtered the city during the expedition, but it was erased from the record by the historian~www.wuxiaspot.com~The country that perished is natural. Will not be qualified to record history...

Richard also has the same thinking. As long as he eliminates his opponent, will the future records in the annals of history not be determined by himself?

As long as the massacre was thorough and clean enough, and the traces were erased in the annals of history, later generations would never know what happened.

Communication in this era is so backward, the dissemination of news has been lagging behind, and human manipulation is still very easy.

The bureaucrats in Kangguo Mansion quickly got Richard's persuasion letter to surrender the ‘original’. They naturally heard about the brutality of the self-reliant King of the Ming Dynasty, but most of them were policies aimed at the Semu people.

For example, on the battlefield ordering the Han army under his command to slaughter the Sermu servants indiscriminately...

Although it is for the effect of supervising the battle, the act of slaughtering and collapsing **** by the whole team is still rare in the Western Regions...

Obviously, Richard's personality is completely unrelated to his positive image. This kind of person's threat of massacre is definitely not alarmist!
