Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 208 Preparing for Peace

Through conversations with members of parliament, Richard finally understood the situation in the city of Prange and even the entire Republic of Cunha. Every city in this country is ruled by a governor appointed by the parliament, even Prange, which is the capital. The Cunya people are used to this kind of government, and rashly implementing the feudal aristocratic rule may cause a big backlash, so Richard thought about it and decided not to change the governor system for the time being, but how to choose the governor is a question. question.

In addition, the Republic of Cunha, like the city-states on the Osa Peninsula, still implements slavery. The civilians in their country are composed of citizens-free people-slaves from top to bottom. Generally speaking, most of the soldiers who join the army are A small number of free citizens without citizenship are citizen soldiers, but when a military mobilization order is issued at a critical juncture, citizens will actively respond, take out their shields and weapons at home, put on armor, and fight to defend the motherland.

This is why after the 5,000 standing army composed of free people was annihilated, the Kunians were able to mobilize nearly 10,000 citizen soldiers and joint reinforcements to fight against Richard.

After the conversation, Richard ordered these congressmen to be imprisoned. Since they are not nobles in status, they are not protected by the noble law, and Richard can dispose of them at will. It seemed that most of them were already mentally prepared. When they were dragged away by the soldiers, only a few of them struggled fearlessly there.

...

In the next few days, Richard focused on appeasing the residents of Prange, helping the homeless residents to rebuild the collapsed buildings, but it did not achieve much effect. After the city wall was breached, Wen Si The brutality of the special soldiers was displayed in the eyes of every resident. Although they didn't break in directly, the massacre of fleeing civilians on the street did not have to be washed away. Damn, another paragraph is missing! , update the latest chapter as soon as possible!

It is really not easy to find someone who is inclined to one's own side in the ruling class of the enemy country, but Richard finally found a suitable candidate. He is the deputy speaker Marek Bacchus who was born in the business class. Because most of the family's property is in the Kingdom of Winster, he maintained a negative attitude towards the war, and he was also one of the first people to propose peace.

For the olive branch offered by Richard, Marek Bacchus only thought about it for a while, and then readily accepted it. He is very smart, and this is his only chance to stand up. If he refuses, he may spend his whole life rotting in prison , or Richard found an excuse to deal with it.

Therefore, under Richard's arrangement, Marek was acquitted and was awarded the post of governor of Plange. At the same time, he also proposed to Richard that the governors of several other cities in Cunha should be arranged as soon as possible, and if possible, several governors would be gathered together to form a new national parliament—only subordinate to the Richard's council.

Richard originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he agreed to Marek's proposal. Whether it is from the game (referring to Crusader Kings 2) or reality, every country needs a cabinet to assist the king. Now that the government of the Republic of Cunha has surrendered and the parliament has been dissolved, a new parliament is needed to assist Richard in ruling the country. nation. Today, I can't watch it and I'm missing a paragraph! Remember for a second, ().

However, the more than 6,000 prisoners of war of the Principality of Lasik were not so lucky. They were still held in a prisoner-of-war camp with a dirty environment, and they would make a decision after the war with the Principality of Lasik was over.

The time for the Rasik prisoners of war to regain their freedom will soon come. After the Kunia Republic was annexed, the Grand Duke Rasik no longer had a reason to insist on the war. In fact, he did not want to continue the war. In this war Here, his army suffered heavy losses. Not only was the first batch of reinforcements annihilated, but the second batch of reinforcements was also hit head-on by the Winsters. War weariness spread throughout the Principality.

He had to immediately send a mission to seek peace with Richard.

...

On July 29, 1112 in the continental calendar, under the escort of the Danish cavalry of the Second Legion, a 20-member mission headed by Jacob, the foreign affairs chief of the Duchy of Lasik, arrived in Prange, the capital of the Cunha region.

As soon as they approached the city of Prange, the members of the mission were shocked by the city wall riddled with holes. They looked at the deep craters, and then at the gaps in the city wall that were still being rebuilt. of saliva.

They had all heard about the terrifying weapons equipped in Richard's army in advance, but they didn't know that this terrifying weapon was so powerful that it could knock down the tall city walls of the capital. If these terrifying siege weapons were to deal with their capital... Thinking of this, everyone shuddered, not daring to think about it any further.

Although the Lasiks have been assimilated by their neighbors, they have broken away from their nomadic identity and built cities and castles, but their city walls are not as tall as their neighbors, but generally low, even except for the capital In other settlements, the city walls are basically made of wood.

Such a city wall may not be able to stop Richard's attack for a day.

While shocked, they were also grateful for their country. Fortunately, Cunha, an ally, stood in front of them, otherwise they would be the ones who died now.

At this moment, the new governor, Marek Bacchus, walked out of the city gate with his entourage, greeted the mission in person, had a cordial conversation with Jacob, the head of foreign affairs of the Duchy of Lasik, and then brought them to the city's Prange Great House.

The Prange House has been converted into the governor's office, and the internal layout has also been greatly changed. Here, Richard will personally negotiate with the mission.
