The wind was blowing, and the wolf flag was fluttering. Seven thousand guardsmen marched south from the city of Otto, carrying the power to suppress everything. With heavy armored warriors and bronze cannons, the legions could only march thirty miles a day. Shulot used
On the 4th, they arrived at the Crow Family's fiefdom. A thousand Gyeonggi troops had already settled in the Crow Manor and took over all aspects of the fiefdom.
Old Crow Sitley and his clan members knelt down at the gate of the manor to greet His Majesty's flag.
He hurriedly hurried along and finally returned to Crow Manor before the Mexica warriors attacked. After reading the secret message, he slapped the stupid eldest son to the ground and cursed angrily.
"I told you not to be literate! I told you not to be literate! You almost harmed the family, you idiot!"
That night, the Crow Family surrendered to the commander of the Orosh Army, handing over the entire fiefdom, a population of more than 10,000 people, and a secret letter from the Zicao Family. Orosh left a thousand warriors waiting for His Majesty, and continued to lead the army.
The army moved south to support the city of Kuramo.
Shulot stayed at the Crow Manor for a day and met the leader of the Old Crow clan. The king expressed his joy at the old Crow's humble choice. In the entire Zicao County, there are three glorious nobles who control more than 10,000 people. Palm.
The Zicao family and the Zicao family rebelled one after another, and only the Crow family obeyed the order and handed over their territory.
After Xiulote pondered for a long time, he decided to set up the Crow Family as a model. After the Crow Family handed over 200,000 acres of fiefdom, they would re-distribute the 20,000 acres of fiefdom in Guamare State, take over the 20,000 acres of fiefdom reserved for the Zicao Family, and
One thousand dingkou is allowed to be reserved.
The old crow kowtowed repeatedly, bursting into tears with gratitude, and his heart was full of bitter joy. The land entrusted by the kingdom was directly doubled, from 95% reduction to 90% reduction.
"...It's better than the already extinct Lithospermum family and the soon-to-be-extinct Palm family!"
The old crow thought so. In such a world of great strife, it is not easy to survive. The next step is to truly attach to the wings of the kingdom and fly high with the condor...
After dealing with the Crow Family, the 7,000 Guards Army went south again and arrived at Kuramo City three days later. At this time, the rebellion in Kuramo City had been put down, leaving only the blood that had not been washed away. The flag of the Lord God was once again flying in the city.
At the top of the city, patrolling Mexican warriors controlled the entire city. Thousands of rebels were arrested and concentrated in the north of the city for guarding.
After Jaguar Orosh met with the veteran Etalik, they divided the responsibilities between each other. Orosh was stationed in the military camp outside the city, commanded the Gyeonggi Army, and took over all the noble territories in the Kuramo area. Etalik stayed in the city as a god
In the temple pyramid, order in the city was restored.
Wang Qi stayed at the military camp outside the city for a day. Orosh reported the latest progress.
After the Gyeonggi Corps destroyed the Shikso family, they divided into several groups and swept across the north shore of Lake Atoya. Wherever the royal army went, all the southern nobles surrendered and surrendered their land and Dingkou. The Gyeonggi Corps headed east to reach Atoya.
The easternmost boundary of Ke Lake, heading west to join Ezpan's Second Lancer Corps. In just a few days, more than a hundred miles of plains on the north shore of the lake, more than a dozen noble fiefdoms, plus the city of Kuramo... the entire purple
The eastern part of Cao County, with a population of more than 70,000, has been controlled by the Wang Army.
Shulot nodded with satisfaction. He took the artillery all the way south, but had no chance to use it. The rebellion in the east suddenly rose and fell, and as soon as the flames ignited, they were quickly suppressed by the warrior army. He praised Orosh a few words,
He also drank and talked happily with his childhood teacher.
At noon on the second day, the Imperial Guards guarded the king's banner and entered Zicao County, while the artillery battalion stayed outside the city. While the veteran Etalik led the king into the city, he told the story of the rebellion in Kuramo City.
"Are you saying that the two thousand militiamen and thousands of men in the city participated in the rebellion? Were they coerced or voluntary?"
Shulot stopped and stared at the deserted streets along the way. There were only warriors on alert and scattered residents hiding in houses.
"There is coercion, but more of it is voluntary."
Etalik said in a deep voice.
"The Lithospermum family shouted an inspiring slogan, saying that His Highness was assassinated and legions from various places rebelled. They want to restore the faith in the three gods and rebuild the Kingdom of Tarasco. After the restoration is successful, everyone involved will be rewarded!"
Shulot was silent for a while, then he finally spoke.
"There are too many remnants of the old dynasty in Zicao County. After this purge, it should be much better. The kingdom's priests have gone south to take over the recovered noble territories, organize the people into households, and spread the faith of the Lord God. Wait until the old nobles change.
By the time we reach the north of Leman River, the entire Lithospermum County will be under the direct control of the Kingdom. By the autumn harvest next year at the latest, the people's sentiments will be greatly improved!"
"Your Highness has mercy!"
Etalik bowed his head and saluted. Then, he looked solemn and made some suggestions.
"However, Kuramo City has openly rebelled, and the residents of the city must be severely punished. Only by engraving awe into the bones of the people in the south can the spread of faith be more effective with half the effort!"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"In Kuramo City and the Purple Grass Fiefdom, 20,000 people who participated in the rebellion or were related to the rebellion will be sent to the north, demoted to serfs, and awarded military honors to nobles and warriors!"
Etalik looked at the king's thinking expression and said again.
"Your Highness, half of the thousand Mexica warriors were killed in this rebellion! If there is no reverence, there is no kindness. Enwei is a twin. The Curamo people must be severely punished! What's more, according to the new decree,
According to the Kingdom's laws, serfs can get married. If the children of serfs are given to the village community and the government to raise, they will be regarded as civilians. After the serfs work for ten years, they can regain their status as civilians and receive a piece of land to make a living.
.”
Xiuluo nodded. This decree was promulgated by him under the guidance of the sage. The original proposal was that after five years of hard work, serfs could become civilians. As soon as this was said, all the military nobles came to meet His Highness.
, struggling to speak.
The sage also calculated carefully for His Highness that only by working hard for ten years can a serf, in addition to supporting the military nobles, save the wealth for his master to buy another serf. In other words, the military nobles hope that even if they do not participate in production
, and can also maintain the wealth of future generations. Judging from the average life span of this era, most adult serfs will not live beyond ten years.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Military aristocracy is the foundation of the king. Faced with such resistance, he can only temporarily compromise. When agricultural production technology improves and the kingdom becomes richer and stronger, this decree will still be required
Revise again.
Thinking of this, Shulot made a decision.
"Etalik, as you said, 20,000 Kuramo people will be reduced to serfs and sent to the north!"
Then, the king shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Old Etalik! You guard one side of the kingdom and are the manager of Kuramo City. You actually want to punish all the subjects under your rule?"
"Haha! Your Highness, painting with a blank is much easier than tinkering!"
Etalik also smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"In the past two years, I have suffered a lot in the south! You have to bring me some civilians and add some priests. When the priests distribute the houses in the city, the new civilians will naturally be grateful!"
Shulot nodded with a smile and said nothing more. While the two were chatting and laughing, they decided on the fate of twenty thousand rebels. Then, the king climbed onto the pyramid in the center of the city with a solemn expression. He looked at the blood stains that had not yet been cleaned up.
One can imagine the brutality of the battle at that time. The traces of the fighting extended all the way to the top of the pyramid. There, the chief priest of Kuramo, Yi Cui, had been waiting for a long time.
"Praise the Lord God! Greetings to you, Lord Priest of the Divine Enlightenment!"
"Praise the Lord God! Priest Yitri, you fearlessly stood firm in Kuramo City and made achievements for the Lord God. The Lord God will see your piety and grant you grace!"
"Praise to you!"
Yi Cui kowtowed to the ground and suppressed the excitement in his heart. With these words from the king, he could look forward to the future.
Shulot nodded with a smile and shook the other person's hair. Then, he sat down in the temple and asked about the details of the mission in the city.
"...The chief priest of the sect, and the Prepecha warriors in the temple guard who converted to the main god, all fought hard to the end, and no one rebelled or surrendered!"
Yi Cui replied respectfully.
"The common people in Zicao County are not yet devout in their faith, and there are too many believers of false gods. Please also grant your decree to allow Kuramo Diocese to increase the number of temple guards, establish a special search team, and arrest and deal with believers of false gods.
power!"
Hearing this, Shulot raised his brows. Kuramo City had just experienced a rebellion, so it was understandable to increase the number of temple guards. It only had the power to capture and deal with followers of false gods... This was equivalent to religious jurisdiction! Although, gods everywhere
The temple will conduct some religious adjudication to deal with influential believers of the old gods, but the scale is not large, and most of them deal with it passively. Now, Yi Cui, the chief priest in front of him, actually has the courage to propose to him face to face to establish a team of adjudicators!
This is the precursor to the Inquisition...
The king pondered for a long time. He thought about the increasingly urgent time, and the balance in his heart gradually tilted to the left. After a while, the king looked solemn and finally nodded in agreement.
"Can."
"Praise the Lord God! Praise you!"
Excitement appeared on Yi Cui's face. As one of the few chief priests of civilian origin in the alliance, he finally found an opportunity to show off his skills in the southern part of the Lake District!
"Do not execute privately the stubborn believers of false gods determined by the referee."
After thinking for a while, Shulot added.
"Gather them together and send them to the Qinganbat Mine, which is short of manpower. The formed referee team will first operate in the Kuramo area. If they perform well and the faith of the main god is effectively spread, I will consider forming a separate referee bureau with the position of director.
It’s equal to the fourth-level chief priest.”
"Praise you! Praise the Lord God!"
Yi Cui, the third-level priest, heard the hidden meaning and was shocked. This is a real avenue to the sky! The path to priesthood for civilians usually stops at the third level. After that, there are only a handful of fourth-level priests, often the general manager.
One party. And now, he actually got a unique opportunity...
"Master Priest of the Divine Qi Sect, I will definitely sacrifice my life for the glory of the Lord God!"
"Praise the Lord God! He protects you."
Shulot stared at the hummingbird sun in the temple and nodded calmly. He knew the power of the Inquisition and the cruelty of the Inquisition, but he decided to let the beast out of the cage. Because after the assassination, the king's heart finally took the final step.
.
The veteran Etalik was speechless. He vaguely felt that a terrifying power was sprouting. After a while, he reached deep into his arms, took out a stack of documents, and handed it to the king.
"Your Highness, these are the secret messages of the Zicao family, and they are related to many Prepecha generals!"
