Chapter 380: Promoting Unification

After the Spring Festival, Irving is preparing to launch the second round of spring offensive to continue to promote the unification of the Morning Light Kingdom.

Last year, after quelling the southern rebellion, he had to temporarily stop the process of unifying the kingdom.

This time, Irving had sufficient troops in his hand and was fully capable of siege all the remaining noble forces.

After military expansion and training, the total number of people's troops stationed in various places has exceeded 10,000.

In contrast, the size of the army that went to the expedition at the beginning of last year seemed a bit pale.

Sure enough, if you want to carry out a reform that touches the interests of conservative forces, Irving must ensure that he has strong enough strength to crush all opposition forces.

Only in this way can the reform proceed smoothly.

Otherwise, Irving would have long been drowned under the wave of resistance from conservative forces and ended up with a tragic ending of death without a burial place.

Since he has absolute strength, Irving naturally does not need to take the stubborn and conservative nobles seriously.

He directly ordered Junhui City Hall to issue a king's order to the outside world through the wireless phone, telling all the nobles in the Kingdom of Chenguang who had not yet surrendered-

From now on, all the lands in the kingdom were owned by King Irving Eisen Wells alone, and the aristocratic feudal system was officially abolished.

Those who are willing to take the initiative to hand over their territory and give up their noble privileges can find a position in the established new city hall, or participate in the construction of a factory, and find another way out.

Those who disobey the king's orders are regarded as rebellion and will cause a strong blow to the People's Army.

There is no doubt that this kingly order was a letter of declaration of war issued by Irving to the conservative forces of the kingdom.

After preparing for the expedition, a fleet larger than last time set off from the military dock in Dawn City and began the journey of unifying the kingdom.

In addition to the brave People's Army, there are also a group of city hall officials who participated in this expedition. Most of them served for more than half a year, and their work abilities are worthy of recognition.

The reason for bringing these officials was that Irving was preparing to let them take over the attacked cities, quickly form a new town hall, and restore and maintain urban order in the shortest time to reduce the losses caused to the people by the chaos after the war.

The fleet soon arrived at Dongsheng Fortress, where they took a break and received a People's Army unit to expand the size of the expedition.

After all the crew got on the ship, the entire fleet turned around and drove westward. The first city to be recovered was Linshui City.

The person in charge of the city is Earl Monster, formerly Earl David.

I heard that during the battle for the throne, Earl David supported the eldest prince Legovis Wells, but unexpectedly, the third prince White Wells won in the end.

Before White came to deal with the nobles of Linshui City, Monster, who was still viscount at the time, joined forces with most of the nobles to collectively reverse the situation and arrested all the nobles, including Earl David, and handed them over to White for disposal.

It is also true that Monster successfully gained White's trust, promoted the title of Earl, and took over Linshui City.

From this incident, we can see that Count Monster is a man who is quite good at surrendering to the winners.

At that time last year, Irving led the People's Army to successfully capture the city of Wangdu Junhui. The first nobleman to write a letter to surrender to him was Earl Monster.

Afterwards, all kinds of things happened, and Irving did not return or accept the allegiance of Earl Monster, and wanted to continue to observe.

Once the king's order was issued this time, the nobles who had not yet surrendered showed extremely strong resistance, after all, it touched their interests.

Before, Irving had not officially issued a royal order, and many nobles still had fantasies that the king would not attack them. Now this fantasy is completely shattered.

The vast majority of nobles were unwilling to hand over their territory or give up their noble privileges, and were ready to unite to disobey the king's orders.

Only Count Monster wrote another letter, proving that he was always loyal to the king and was willing to do things according to the king's orders.

It seems that he made a correct judgment on the strength Irving has.

After weighing the pros and cons, I felt that my life was more important than territory and noble privileges, so I chose to continue to surrender.

A few days later, the huge fleet arrived in Linshui City, but four ships did not slow down and continued to sail westward.

It was a fleet led by Viscount Javies. They would go straight to Junhui City, meet with the army there, and then deal with the nobles of the Jin Acropolis who disobeyed the king's order.

The People's Army, which was collected and trained in other cities, received the king's instructions in advance through the wireless phone, and quickly went to Junhui City, gathered outside the city, and waited for a reunion.

The King warship docked at the dock in Linshuicheng. When the soldiers controlled the dock, Owen walked down from the battleship.

Seeing this, Earl Monster, who was waiting on the shore, quickly led a group of nobles behind him to greet the king.

Earl Monster, who was in the front row of the team, smiled flatteringly and bowed: "Dear King, welcome to Linshui City."

"Welcome to His Majesty the King."

The nobles behind also bowed and bowed.

After scanning the group of nobles in front of him, Owen spoke, "You should know what I am going to do this time, right?"

"Of course I know, your majesty." Earl Monster raised his head, "I have convinced the nobles of the territory around Linshui City. They and I are willing to obey the king's orders and give your own territory to you."

"Oh? All convinced?"

Irving glanced at the nobles behind Earl Monster, and the number seemed to be a little smaller.

"this……"

After reaching out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, Earl Monster continued: "Actually, there was no convincing all of them. Some nobles learned that I wanted to obey the king's order and thought that Linshui City was unreliable. They took their families and property to join the Earl Joy in the Golden Acropolis overnight. Since everyone had run away, I decided to take back their territory and hand it over to you."

"So that's it." Owen nodded clearly.

Then, he smiled and said with great satisfaction: "Very good, you make the right decision, and I will give you some compensation based on the previous practice."

Speaking of this, Irving noticed that although many nobles acted very restrained, there was still a little uneasiness on their faces.

It seems that they just surrendered to Irving's force and did not really surrender.

It is not embarrassing to obey powerful forces. As the saying goes, those who know the times are heroes, isn’t it?

The reason why these nobles were uneasy was not only the loss of territory and noble privileges, but also the changes brought about by reform.

Although my life was saved, I could never enjoy a comfortable aristocratic life in the future.
