Linton is really living a leisurely life these days, because he found that his son Lin Rui is indeed quite funny. Although little Lin Rui spends most of the day eating, drinking and sleeping, the rest of the time is for fun.
Really fun.
It feels like when you go to play with a friend's cat, it will definitely feel better the more you play with it. But if you want to raise it yourself, then you have to feed and urinate, so playing with someone else's cat is of course the most enjoyable.
Now Xiao Lin Rui feels like someone else's cat. Although it is his own, Linton has never raised one. There may be hundreds of people in the entire back hall dedicated to serving Xiao Lin Rui. What?
All the dirty work has been done by someone else.
Not only did Linton not have to put in any effort to raise the child, he even just entertained him and played with him. In the eyes of others, Linton was a good father who was willing to spend time with his children. Linton didn't know that the main world was
Bian was very relaxed about his father's profession, but to be honest, he blushed a little when he said this.
At this time, Linton had not yet gone to the guild. After all, the invitation was a one-time use. He planned to wait until the rebel problem was resolved before going, treating it as a holiday for himself.
As for the time to solve the problem, Linton’s previous clauses all gave one month, which naturally meant that he was prepared to solve the problem within one month. This one month is the fermentation period, and when the time is up, it should be
When conflicts erupt intensively.
By then, the new emperor who had no idea where he came from would probably be tortured to death. Linton really wanted to see how aggrieved the other party was.
Judging from the intelligence that has been returned so far, the impact of these policies is slowly emerging. Linton already knows about the other party's blocking of information in the army, and this is also a normal operation. Blocking information in the army can still be done.
Yes, but how long can this be blocked?
Linton knew that many people had already gone to the north to deliver news. It was probably a matter of time. There should be a large number of deserters soon.
The news from the private sector obviously cannot be blocked. Now tens of thousands of people move from the north to the south every day. Apparently they are all attracted to avoid the war and the second policy.
To be honest, settling these "refugees" from the north has now become a more troublesome task. But the good news is that these people who come here don't have to worry about whether there are any rebels or the like mixed in. Linton is very sure of the other party.
I simply don't dare to do these things.
His first policy is to let the soldiers come back. Do you dare to let them really go back?
So now we just need to send people directly to the pioneer area in the south. As for issues such as the planning of the pioneer area, with so many civil servants here, they will naturally make arrangements for these. The overall situation of the empire is that it has a vast territory and a large population.
Well, Linton actually thinks it would be a good thing to transport some people from the north to the south.
Due to climate problems in the north, the harvest from the same work is not as much as in the south. With fewer people now, concentrating work in the south will naturally improve the overall national strength. Ministers have also discussed the issue of relocation of people before.
, now this problem has been solved.
To be honest, Linton is quite satisfied with the results of the first two so far, but the third one, which he thinks is the most subtle, has not received much feedback so far.
Except for the troubles that can often be heard from people who come to exchange new currency in banks, the rest basically has no big effect.
The rebels there didn't respond much to this at all, and most of the people who migrated from the north said that the reason for coming here was not to exchange new currency, but just for the land.
Obviously, in the main world, land is still more important than money. The people can accept the loss of money, but land is their lifeblood.
This made Linton a little unhappy. He didn't know whether it was because the people here didn't understand financial warfare, or because his thoughts were a bit out of tune with the world.
But even so, Linton still insisted on his coin-spreading action, directly destroying the economic foundation of the north, which should have the effect of a fatal blow. Linton said that he should still be able to pretend this wave, which is ahead of the curve.
What about the strategic plan that lasts hundreds of years?
"What are you secretly having fun with?" Yalan looked at Linton and asked.
"Hmm, um, um, I was thinking about how miserable those rebels would die. Don't worry, once the one-month appointment time comes, these bunch of chickens and dogs will be wiped out in an instant." Linton waved his hand and said.
"Report!" Linton had just finished speaking when a knight from the Royal Guard walked into the room and saluted and said, "An urgent report came from the north. The main force of the rebels has been defeated by our army."
"What?" Linton was stunned.
"Sir Sword Master, the main force of the rebels has been defeated by our army." The royal knight here thought Linton didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again.
"Isn't it...defeated?" Linton asked.
"Yes, the opponent's troops have been completely defeated." The knight nodded again, then took out a volume of documents, "This is the battle report."
Yalan, who was close, took it and looked at it, and was shocked by what was said above.
The battle report was naturally sent by the victorious Third Army, and it also recorded what happened in the past two days. From the time when the First and Second Army divided their troops and marched, Esdeath saw through the opponent's plan, and then chose
Take the initiative and directly attack the opponent's camp at night, and then suddenly appear "reinforcement" troops.
Here, the troops of the Third Army and Gruto's troops joined forces and launched a fierce siege on the troops of the First Army. The troops of the First Army could not hold on anymore, and finally the defense line fell and fell into chaos.
The three armies fought from night to dawn. The final result was that the first legion was beaten to pieces. The entire legion fled in all directions, leaving only corpses on the ground.
Since the number of corpses is quite large, we have not yet calculated the specific situation, but the approximate number of dead should be more than 10,000, and the number of captives is even higher, close to 30,000. Of course, most of the captives are
Baggage and logistics troops.
In this way, there are probably half of the people who escaped, about 50,000 people. But because the 50,000 people escaped scattered, it is probably not easy to gather them again. Even if the opponent gathers a team again, they can find them.
If half of the 50,000 people came, it would be considered good. Not to mention that they are still chasing each other.
Moreover, at this time, all the rations and materials of the First Legion have been captured. Even if the troops are gathered, can the soldiers continue to fight hungry and without weapons and armor?
That's why the knight who reported before used the word "rout". In a normal war, even if such a unit is completely wiped out, it is almost impossible to pull it back up again.
At this time, the battle report sent by Esdeath was on the one hand to inform Yalan of the battle situation, and on the other hand, it was to ask whether they should continue to march directly.
Because the opponent's army has been defeated now, if they want to pull it up again, they will definitely need supplies of food, grass and materials.
The First Legion's food, grass and materials must have been very sufficient before, because the previous empire supported them. The empire now has money, so the army's various materials are very sufficient.
What Esdeath means is that these defeated troops probably want to return to the place where they previously stored supplies. There should be a supply base there that can allow the troops to be integrated again. She wants to take the initiative,
Seize the opponent's station first, so that the opponent can no longer raise a team.
It's just that the order Linton gave her before was to defend the defense line and there was no order to attack, so she anxiously wrote to ask for this permission.
"General Esdeath is really powerful. He actually defeated the rebels in one battle." Yalan here sighed after reading the battle report.
"Hey, can you still steal the limelight like this?" Linton next to him said directly, "No, who made her face A?"
"What are you struggling with again?" Yalan said here.
"This is too unorganized and disciplined. She won the battle with just a casual move. Doesn't it seem that my previous arrangements were redundant? This is stealing my limelight." Linton yelled directly.
"..." Yalan looked at Linton and didn't know what to say.
"No! I can't stand this grievance!" Linton waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and write a letter asking Esdeath to release all the captives and ask them to go back with the captured supplies. Tell them there.
That new emperor, let him prepare well and we can start over."
"Don't get angry suddenly." Yalan said.
"This is not anger. Yalan, we are the orthodox empire of mankind. If we want to fight, we must fight openly. Our army has always been about martial ethics. Look at this guy Esdeath, he actually took advantage of the opponent.
We haven't gained a firm foothold yet, so we just attack at night. We'll cheat, we'll attack by surprise, and we don't care about martial ethics. If this spreads out, how will we convince the public in the future? So listen to me, let the opponent go, and we'll fight again," Linton said.
.
"This reason...isn't it too forced?" Yalan couldn't help but said, "Although I know you like to talk nonsense..."
"It's not that I don't have it! I am a sage who has learned a lot, and I am able to catch and control him seven times. Doesn't this show that we are magnanimous?" Linton said quickly.
"Actually, I think your policy here has had some effect." Yalan said, "Look at the reinforcements that are helping Esdeath. Isn't this proof that your policy has been effective? It's also at a critical time.
They counterattacked and defeated the troops of the First Army..."
"Uh...really?" Linton thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "But the killing move I prepared is the third one, this..."
