"Dead ......
Dead man!
”I don't know who made the exclamation, and there was a burst of chaos in the surrounding unrelated crowd, and some nobles hurriedly turned around and ran towards the door, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong.But before he could step out of the door, a group of armed soldiers rushed in from the outside, quickly controlling all the entrances and exits of the hall, and forbidding the people here to leave."
Father, are you alright?"
Dryden hurriedly ran to his father's side and carefully lifted him up from the ground."
It's fine."
With the help of his son, Count Claude stood up, still looking at Count Reargan, who had been shot in front of him."
It's just that I'm scared a lot, and my heart can't stand it a little.""
Don't panic, everyone!"
Owen began to clean up the chaotic scene, suppressing the nobles who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape."
As long as you don't act aggressively, my soldiers won't shoot at you.Also, I have one more important thing to announce, and until then, no one is allowed to leave. ”Under the aim of the soldiers' guns, several nobles could only give up their flight, and retreated into the crowd with a cower.Then, Owen turned his gaze to the group of rebellious nobles and issued a stern warning."
Don't try to do anything strange, or you'll end up like Count Reargan.""
Take them all down."
He again gave orders to the knights.With the experience of the past, the rebel nobles now do not even dare to beg for mercy, for fear that they will be shot on the spot if they make the new king unhappy.In this way, the group of sinners was restrained by the knight and all taken to the dungeon, and two of them, when they learned that they were going to die, fainted in fright, and had to be carried away.The body of Count Reargan was still lying on the ground, and it looked quite an eyesore, so Owen instructed the two soldiers to drag the body out."
Alright, the rebels have been taken away, and I now have a decision to announce to you."
Looking around the entire hall, Owen said slowly, "From today onwards, the entire land of the South will be owned by the Morning Light King, that is, I alone, and will never be divided again.You are allowed to retain the title of nobility as an honor, but no longer enjoy privileges, and all must obey the express provisions of the New Kingdom Law. ”As soon as the words fell, Claude father and son immediately stroked their chests and saluted, responding."
We, the Claude family, are willing to fully cooperate with Your Majesty to promote reform and establish a new system in Lion's Roar City."
The other nobles looked at each other, of course they were very resistant to this decision, but what had just happened made them very jealous and did not dare to talk nonsense.After a while, a nobleman mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Majesty, the southern border is so big, I am afraid that you will not be able to manage it alone, you need to divide the land to the nobles to manage, in order to better maintain the existence of the kingdom, this has always been done in the past." ”"It used to be like this, but now it's not needed."
Before Owen could say anything, Dryden Crowder hurriedly stood up and hurriedly replied: "A well-functioning city hall can govern the whole territory, and a unified management plan can better develop and utilize the resources in the territory, Dawn City and Dongsheng Fortress are the best examples, you can see for yourself." ”After a pause, he added, "I know that none of you want to lose your territory, but I want to tell you that the loss of fiefdoms and titles does not mean that you have nothing.Under the wave of reform, if you actively participate in it, you will reap even more abundant benefits than before. ”"Oh?"
Owen was a little appreciative of Dryden, "You know a lot." ”"Don't dare, Your Majesty."
Dryden turned around and stroked his chest again."
I've only visited the Eastrise Fortress and Dawn City, so I just know a thing or two.On the contrary, it is Your Majesty, who has created new systems and invented all kinds of epoch-making new things, that is truly a person of great wisdom, and I admire you very much, and I would like to follow you forever. ”Owen felt a little embarrassed that he hadn't come up with a lot of things that he hadn't come up with or invented."
Hmm."
Clearing his throat, Owen turned his head to look at the nobles present."
This is the king's order, and you have no right to refuse.I understand your confusion about reform, but this is a process that must be experienced, and Auroville has completed a series of reforms to achieve its prosperity today. ”"Your Majesty."
Another nobleman cautiously asked, "Can you guarantee that we will get more wealth than before?"
”"It's up to you, and I'm not going to make that promise."
Owen said clearly, "However, I will send someone over and teach you how to benefit from the reforms." ”During the KPA counter-offensive against the Asians, Clive should have established a new town hall in Junhui City, and then he will continue to trouble him to lead his apprentices south to establish the same management system in Lionroar City and Bibo County.It would be more difficult to build a new town hall in Bibo County than it would be in Lionroar, as there would be no nobles to help with it.Also, planning for reconstruction can be very hard.Owen also gave the nobles a task, which was to move the population to the big cities as much as possible.This is not only to facilitate the implementation of policies, but also to the need for industrialization, and large factories need workers to operate.Of course, considering that the wheat seeds have already been planted in various places, the migration can only be postponed until after the autumn harvest, which can be regarded as a transition period.As for how to feed such a large population?
Naturally, it was to promote scientific farming methods, to build high-standard farmland, and to provide high-yield wheat seeds from Dawn City.Soon after the celebration feast, the People's Army stationed outside the city took action again, arresting the families of the rebellious nobles and confiscating their property.At this point, the resistance forces in the south were basically eliminated.The next day, Owen sent someone to deal with the joint capture of the Asians, in line with the practice on the Bibo County side.In the dungeon where the subhuman race is imprisoned.Several soldiers went to a cell, opened the door, and the lead soldier urged the prisoners inside: "Come out for me." ”"Are you going to execute us?"
One of the sand lizards couldn't help but tremble, and said in fear: "Don't, don't kill me, my wife was pregnant before I went out to fight, and I haven't even seen my own child." ”After saying that, he began to cry to himself."
Hmph."
The leading soldier snorted coldly, "It turns out that you are also afraid of death, and you also have relatives, I thought you were all butchers who could only kill." ”"Woo, of course."
The sand lizard said while crying, "Woo woo woo-" "Then you still kill so many people in the south, and the humans you kill have no relatives?"
Have you ever thought about how many people have lost loved ones because of you?
”Under the repeated questioning of the leading soldiers, the Shaxi clan lowered his head in shame, but was still choking."
Forget it."
Another soldier patted the shoulder of the leading soldier, then turned to the prisoners inside and said, "Our People's Army is a well-disciplined army, and the torture and killing of prisoners is expressly forbidden by His Majesty, so you can rest assured." ”Hearing this, the captives were slightly relieved.After that, the soldiers took all the captives in the dungeon to the docks and told them to hurry aboard the cement steamboat.Before getting on the boat, one of the demon snake tribes asked uneasily, "Where are you taking us?"
”"The Great Wall of the Border."
The leading soldier replied, "Go up quickly, and there you will make up for your mistakes." ”This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
