Chapter 988 Confronting Faith with Faith

"Lord Lord values ​​us so much, how can we not do our best to repay us?" Chief of Staff Kelman said solemnly, "It is not impossible to change the wildfire plan, but we cannot change it rashly. We need to figure out whether this is Christine Is it a way to slow down the troops, or does he really want to surrender, and to what extent can he surrender? If they still have illusions and try to retain their territory and army, I suggest that it is better to adopt a policy of massacre, even if it is a high-handed rule, it is worse than leaving this group Security risks."

"Letting them retain part of their wealth and move to a designated location will be the limit of our retreat. Anyone who tries to challenge this limit must be completely eliminated. We need a quiet and stable Huayu Plateau. It is even more urgent to change." Sophie Liya agreed, "As for those revolutionary parties, we must also properly deal with them, and we cannot let them turn their spearheads at us."

"Madam, don't worry about this. Those revolutionary parties rose because of us. Naturally, we have already thought of a way to counter them. They just learned a little bit from our collar badges. In many places, they are still bandits. As for the rogues, as long as the citizens are a little clear-headed, they will be able to discover the damage caused by their actions. Now they have the taste of anger and resentment, and they are losing their popular base. Even if we send troops to suppress them, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. .” Chief of Staff Kelman said confidently.

"Don't be careless. Faith is an invisible weapon that cannot be measured by common sense. Sometimes, even if the person is killed, their belief will still last forever. After all, in their own opinion, they are doing the right thing. Even if their actions have already harmed the interests of countless people." Sophie Liya's attention to the Revolutionary Party is far higher than that of the ruling class of Huayu Plateau.

In addition to the lessons learned from the Holy See of Saint Ether, Sean also had a lot of influence on her.

"Madam's teachings, we keep in mind, we must be careful in dealing with their strategies, after the formulation is completed, we will send it to Madam for review as soon as possible."

"No need." Sophilia waved her hand and refused, "I just came here to tell you about the decision of the military leader. I can't stay here for long. The flooded Donau River is like a giant beast out of control. I have to keep an eye on it. Tighten it to prevent it from causing more damage, I believe that according to your ability, you will be able to handle it well."

"Thank you Madam for your trust. We will never disappoint you and the lord entrusted everyone. We must win the Flower Language Plateau before the new year and present it to the lord and madam as a New Year gift."

"Okay, I look forward to your good news."

No matter how perfect the plan is, it also has its own limitations, and the same is true for the wildfire plan.

The increasingly tense situation in the Yong Ye army forced them to abandon their long-term plans and take care of their short-term plans.

If the entire structure of the Yong Ye army is affected by destruction, so what if we can get a long-term peace and stability in the Huayu Plateau?

Losing it is only a matter of time.

Grand Duke Christine's intention to surrender undoubtedly gave them a good ladder.

However, the leader of the Yongye army did not send anyone to contact Grand Duke Christine, including Viscount Gould rashly.

On the contrary, the Southwest Front Army showed a more aggressive attitude towards the entire Huayu Plateau, and even sent envoys to secretly contact some large-scale revolutionary parties, and sold them some second-hand and outdated weapons and equipment to enhance their combat effectiveness and let them give to the local nobles. Take more pressure.

Their intention to uproot the local nobles on the Huayu Plateau has not only not weakened, but has become stronger.

The only thing that showed a slight change in their plan was that the blockade in the air was loosened slightly, allowing some pigeons and eagles to fly to the Yongye Army with the letter from Viscount Gould, and fell into the hands of those who deserved it.

Under normal circumstances, these local administrators led by the Yongye Army would definitely treat it as a hot potato when they received the letter from Viscount Gould, and hand it over to Ling Anke as soon as possible. Pass the enemy to get black experience.

However, the current situation of many disasters and disasters led by the Yongye Army has made many people's minds more active.

If they can thread the needle and help the territory win the Huayu Plateau in advance, and have a stable granary, everyone will definitely like to see it.

Especially after Sophilia showed a slightly gentle attitude in this regard during the disaster relief process, someone would naturally come to her door to help Grand Duke Christine pass on the intention of surrendering.

Soon Sophilia would send ambiguity through them.

Grand Duke Christine naturally didn't know what the trick was. Sophie Liya was specially invited by the Yongye army leader to sing red faces in order to test their bottom line.

In order to win over this big backer and win a chance of survival for himself and his family, he desperately increased his chips, showed his cards, and took the initiative to sell himself completely.

This is a typical example of selling yourself cheaply and counting the money for others.

The professionalism of the Yong Ye Army's military staff is fully demonstrated in this aspect.

Whether it is the aristocratic lords of the Huayu Plateau or the revolutionary parties, they are all played around by them and move forward according to their strategic intentions.

Paper can't contain fire, especially when Yong Ye's army leader is consciously making it big.

The news that Grand Duke Christine was going to surrender to the leader of the Yong Ye Army quickly spread throughout the Huayu Plateau.

Naturally, another boulder fell into the water, causing countless waves.

There are not a few people who call him a traitor.

There are also many who praise him for making wise choices.

As the leader of the Huayu Plateau, when he showed such a gesture, the local lords who were already in a state of disunity completely lost their airs, and many followed suit. olive branch.

The process of Huayu Plateau's surrender was much faster than expected.

The wildfire led by the Yongye Army on the Huayu Plateau did not burn in vain. Those revolutionary parties who hated them so much made those local lords feel like they were sitting on pins and needles. The Yongye Army leader who was willing to accept their surrender became their last straw.

They haven't rushed to the shore, are they really going to drown in the water?

Abandoning their own territory is the main prerequisite for the Yongye army leader to accept their surrender.

Without this premise, the Yongye military leader would not talk to them at all.

The only thing these local lords can fight for is how much wealth the Eternal Night Army can allow them to retain, so that they can still live a relatively rich and stable life after they arrive at the Eternal Night Army.

Regarding this point, the Yongye military leader will not completely follow their wishes.

Sometimes wealth and influence are directly proportional.

If they were allowed to keep enough wealth, even if they were placed under surveillance inside the Yongye Army, it would still be a bunch of unstable factors.

For this reason, the military staff specially formulated strict standards for accepting surrenders, and roughly set a reserved amount of wealth for them based on their original titles.

In any case, they can live comfortably in the Yong Ye army, but if they want to make any big moves, their wealth alone is not enough.

Although those local lords were full of opinions on this, they had to accept it, because they had no other way to go.

Three months later, Grand Duke Christine announced to the world that he formally surrendered to the Eternal Night Army.

The Bryan family has become the past tense of the Huayu Plateau, and the Yongye Army Leader has become the ruler of the Huayu Plateau.

The local nobles who surrendered with Grand Duke Christine, all with their families, migrated to New Brissand, the capital of the Eternal Night Army.

Those revolutionaries, which originally belonged to the Bryan family's troubles, have become the troubles of the Yongye army leader.

The Yongye army leader gave these revolutionaries two choices.

One is that they can go home after putting down the weapons in their hands. For what they have done in the past, they will not be blamed, and they will be treated as the subjects of the Yongye Army.

The second is that they resisted to the end and were treated as bandits by the Yong Ye army leader and wiped out.

Faced with the path given by the Yong Ye army leader, far more people choose the latter than the former.

The reason why some people join the revolutionary party is either simply because they can't survive, or because of lofty revolutionary ideas.

But they have already tasted the sweetness from this riot and have become vested interests. Naturally, no one wants them to go back to the past.

Wildfires are called wildfires because they are uncontrollable.

It can burn the enemy as well as the person who set the fire.

But those revolutionaries soon discovered that the Yongye Army Leader was not the incompetent local lords of the Huayu Plateau.

The two are not in the same order of magnitude in terms of strength or action. Even if they received the ultimatum from the Yong Ye Army Commander and made corresponding preparations, they still couldn't stand the fierce and energetic bombardment of the Yong Ye Army Commander. Any city can hold out for more than three days in the face of the powerful offensive of the Yong Ye army.

The greatest threat to this kind of revolutionary party is not their powerful military force, but their powerful public opinion offensive.

The Yongye army leader is neighbor to the Holy See of Saint Ether, and has been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and has accumulated a lot of experience in fighting against faith.

The best defense against the erosion of belief is another belief.

The leader of the Yongye army naturally also has his own beliefs.

The belief here does not refer to the belief in Sean or Sophie Liya.

That personal belief is too narrow, more like a sublimated version.

The Yongye Army Leader also has a belief in a broader sense - the collar badge, which is about protecting relatives and protecting the territory.

Many of the so-called revolutionary ideas of the revolutionary parties on the Huayu Plateau were influenced by, or even mutated from, the concept of the collar badges of the Yongye Army Commander.

It is more or less mixed with personal understanding, and even consciously distorted, so that it can serve one's own personal interests.

Those incomplete and distorted concepts are naturally defeated in front of the pure Eternal Night Army's collar badge.

Many people who are in it have a feeling of being deceived and used, and turn their heads against the revolutionary party.

It is secondary to make those revolutionaries wake up. The main purpose of Yongye Army Leader's vigorous promotion of the collar badge is to strengthen the resistance of ordinary Huayu Plateau leaders in this regard.

Only by letting them see something better, they will not be easily bewitched by incomplete and mutated revolutionary ideas.

Without a sufficient mass base, the so-called revolution is also a fire without fuel, and it will naturally go out in a short time.

The situation of the Huayu Plateau finally confirmed the saying that it is easy to occupy but difficult to govern. Even the local nobles of the Huayu Plateau have been moved out of this land one after another by the leaders of the Yong Ye Army.

But the Bryan family has ruled here for so long that something has run its course.

Especially for some old-fashioned people, they will not be able to adapt to the changes brought about by the Yongye Army leader for a while, even if these things are good, they can bring about earth-shaking changes in their lives.

The conquistadors headed by Marshal Tagore also knew that it would not happen overnight to turn the Huayu Plateau into their own back garden. They formulated a comprehensive governance plan.

One of the magic traction railways running through the north and south will be the top priority.

At that time, their control and influence will spread along this railway to both sides, and at the same time, supplies will also enter and exit along this railway, completely binding it with the Yongye Army Leader.

The closer the two parties are connected, the faster they will assimilate to the Huayu Plateau.

The main force of the conquering army led by the Yong Ye army, with the surrender of the noble lords of the Huayu Plateau, the main revolutionary party was wiped out, and while they were retreating one after another, their construction army was continuously pouring in.

The name of this construction army in the Yongye army is probably not under their main battle army.

Fifteen years ago, many of them walked out of the valley where they raised themselves, and rebuilt their new homes with the Andes inland lake as the center.

Ten years ago, they responded to the call of the Yongye army leader, walked out of the Andes Mountains, and went to the impoverished Donau Plain to open up wasteland and build a granary belonging to their own army leader.

Now, many of them, once again responding to the call of the Yong Ye army leader, took up their own farm tools as weapons and joined in the great development of the Huayu Plateau.

If it was the first time, it was completely forced by life.

The second time, it was out of the pursuit of wealth and a new life.

For the third time, many people picked up tools again, with a strong sense of family and country. After all, many of them already had a relatively stable and comfortable life. , The degree of homelessness, homelessness, and career.

This is the benefit of Yong Ye's army leader choosing to hide wealth among the people. The large amount of wealth stored by the people, as well as the diversified lifestyles, make them more able to withstand disasters than before.

Knowing that the great development of the Huayu Plateau will be full of hardships and risks, they still choose to come without hesitation. What is it if it is not the feelings of family and country?

Of course, many of them chose this difficult path because they were attracted by generous material rewards, or because they were optimistic about the future of Huayu Plateau.
