In addition to prisoners, the issue of refugees must also be properly resolved.

During the counter-offensive, a large number of refugees had already moved to Dawn City through the two planned migration routes, but the number of people in the refugee resettlement area did not decrease much.

There are two reasons. One is that refugees who arrived later have added in, and the other is that some people have various worries and are unwilling to go to Dawn City to start a new life.

For this situation, Owen came up with two measures.

The first is to continue the implementation of the relocation plan and send refugees who are willing to go to Dawn City.

The second is to add a new migration route from Roar City to Bibo County, and actively guide refugees who do not want to go to Dawn City to participate in the reconstruction of Bibo County.

These two measures will last until this year's autumn harvest. Before then, relief rations will be distributed as usual.

The purpose of giving a clear deadline is to urge refugees who have no other way out to make a choice as soon as possible, whether to go to Dawn City or Bibo County.

At the same time, it can also prevent a very small number of refugees from getting used to using relief rations and wanting to remain in the temporary resettlement area.

Considering that most of the refugees were illiterate and the effect of the announcement was not good, the People's Army still preached these two measures to them before distributing relief rations.

The relocation plan and food relief in Bibo County also last until the autumn harvest.

The refugees involved in the reconstruction work will then be paid on a work-for-work basis, allowing them to use the money they earn to buy food.

Compared with repelling the demihuman alliance, post-war disposal is more important.

If not handled properly, these homeless refugees will always be a burden and hidden danger.

At noon on the third day, several of the rebel nobles with higher titles were brought to the square, their crimes were read out in public, and then they were executed.

Other rebel nobles were taken to open fields and shot.

We must not be lenient in dealing with this bold group of vested interests. If we let them go, they will inevitably become obstacles on the road to reform.

Only by clearing away all the conservative resistance forces can reforms and new systems be established in the southern border unimpeded.

The following afternoon, Irving released the indictment of the second princess, Trieste Wells, and asked the city hall to send many civilian personnel to read the above contents to the public.

The edict of guilt pointed out at the beginning that the root cause of the outbreak of the rebellion in the southern region was Trieste, not the demihuman alliance.

Then, looking back at the defense history of the Great Border Wall in the past, the demihuman race in the wilderness launched countless attacks on the Great Border Wall, but all were repelled by the garrison, successfully protecting the southern border from intrusion.

But the defense failed this year.

Looking for the reason, it is that the so-called "Moonlight Queen" transferred too many garrison troops from the Great Wall on the border for her own selfish purposes, which greatly reduced the Great Wall's ability to defend against enemies, which gave the demi-human alliance an opportunity.

At the end of the article, Owen strongly condemned Trieste for the people of the South for being selfish, arrogant, disregarding the safety of the people, abandoning the people and running away after the outbreak of the chaos in the South, and inaction, etc.

The purpose of issuing this criminal edict is to allow the people of the South to shift the focus of their anger from the demihuman race to Trieste.

This is Owen's idea of ​​reducing or resolving people's hatred of the subhuman race - to divert conflicts and lead external conflicts to internal conflicts.

After all, Owen still wants to realize his vision of peaceful coexistence between humans and demi-human races, and he cannot let the people of the South continue to hate the demi-human race because of the chaos in the south.

Now, we can only let time slowly heal the wounds caused by the demihuman race to the people of the Southern Territory.

Irving also asked the church to vigorously promote the concept of racial equality during this period. Although he did not know how many people it would affect, this must be done.

Once the agents unify the barbaric areas and bring them under the rule of the Dawn Kingdom, the demi-humans can jointly send representatives to apologize to the people in the south.

Then Irving would mediate, prompting both parties to put aside their past hatred and move forward together.

There is no way, it is too easy to create hatred, but it is extremely troublesome to eliminate hatred.

If the hatred between the two parties can be resolved smoothly, this incident will definitely leave a mark in history and become one of Owen's great deeds.

A few days later, Clive took his apprentices south to Roar City, took over Owen's work, and took the trouble to form a new city hall.

Owen, on the other hand, led the fleet and set off for Junhui City.

Before leaving, he left a wireless phone for easy communication.

In addition, there is a group of People's Army soldiers left to garrison Roar City. In addition to cooperating with Clive, they are also responsible for training new recruits and police.

On the Weishui River, the battleship King sailed at the forefront, and the water waves it cut kept swinging to both sides of the river bank.

Owen stood on the deck, looking at the river in front of him, but his mind was thinking about the unification of the kingdom.

At present, most of the Eastern Territory and the entire Southern Territory, as well as the royal capital Junhui City, are in his hands, and he has begun to promote reforms.

But the northern and western territories, as well as Linshui City and Jinweicheng, have not yet been captured.

Knowing that Owen planned to take back the territory and establish a new system, it was unlikely that these nobles would choose to obey honestly, so the people's army had to be sent to conquer them by force.

But here's the problem. After defeating the Asian Alliance, in order to prevent foreign enemies from invading again, the People's Army must be stationed at the Great Wall on the border.

In the southern border, especially Bibo County, the People's Army is also needed to maintain local order.

At this time, many soldiers were sent out, and there were not many troops left that could be mobilized. The process of unifying the kingdom could only be postponed for a while.

In order to expand the number of troops, Owen has issued orders to the city halls of many places and issued recruitment orders in Dawn City, Dongsheng Fortress, Junhui City, Lion's Roar City and other places, and the number of people recruited is more than ever before.

In addition, the People's Army has absorbed all knights, patrols and other personnel under the old system who are willing to join.

As long as they receive complete military training, they should be able to integrate into the large collective of the People's Army.

This time, Owen's ambitions are not small. He plans to expand the People's Army to ten thousand people and build it into the strongest army in the mainland.

On the other side, the People's Army finally brought the Asian Union prisoners to the prisoner camp behind the Great Wall on the border.

The two waves of prisoners met and both sides were very excited to see their former comrades.

"Ata! You're actually still alive!" A green orc opened his eyes in disbelief, "I clearly saw you being hit by a human bullet."

"It missed the vital point, just shot through the shoulder, and was saved by humans from behind."

The green beast named Atta showed the scar on his left shoulder, and then said: "It's you, Ake, why are you here?"

"Oh - stop talking." Ake shook his head helplessly, "We lost the last battle. I lost my troops and was captured by humans."

"Attention all prisoners, please look towards me."

At this moment, a captain of the People's Army stood on a strong wooden barrel and shouted loudly to the prisoners.

Surrounded by soldiers with guns, the prisoners had no choice but to obey and turned their heads to look over.

After confirming that all the prisoners looked over, the captain slowly said: "From today on, this prisoner camp will be your new residence, and your every move will be under the strict supervision of our People's Army. Do not try to escape.

, or make excessive attacks, otherwise you will be punished, and in serious cases, you may even be hit by bullets."

As soon as they heard the bullets, those demihumans who had suffered gunshot wounds could not help but shrink their necks. They already had psychological shadows.

"What are we doing here?" one of the prisoners asked.

"Good question."

The captain replied: "You have only two tasks here. One is to repair the damaged Great Wall with us, and the other is to use this prison camp as your new home and carry out various construction activities. You must do it as soon as possible.

Until we are self-sufficient, we, the People’s Army, cannot permanently supply you with daily necessities, do you understand?”

As soon as these words came out, the prisoners below looked at each other. Are they building their homes here? What are humans doing?

"Um, can we never go back?" One prisoner asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

"Go back? Where?"

"Our original home."

"Oh -" a faint smile appeared on the captain's face, "I can tell you that it is impossible to let you go back now, but I can't say for sure in the future. If someone behaves well, he might be able to regain his freedom.

.”

This rhetoric was taught to the captain by Owen, with the purpose of giving the prisoners a glimmer of hope and giving them the motivation to work hard.

Well, when all the demi-human races in the wild areas accept the rule of the Dawn Kingdom, these captives will naturally be free and return to their tribes to see their relatives.
