Chapter 149 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

The most desperate thing in war is not the hand-to-hand combat. The most desperate thing is that the enemy can hit you, but you are powerless. In ancient wars, the most important thing is to suppress the impulse of infantry to charge amidst the harassment of archers.

Seeing the comrades next to them being hit by arrows and falling to the ground wailing will cause great psychological pressure in anyone's heart.

Being able to suppress the urge to charge and then launch a charge after the enemy is close, this can be called a strong army in ancient times.

But what those troops faced were only feather arrows, while the defenders in Luolin City faced whistling shells and dense bullets. All the comrades who were hit had their limbs shattered and died suddenly on the spot.

Such a tragic death caused morale to drop to freezing point in the shortest time. The military judge killed several soldiers who disturbed the morale of the army. However, they triggered a mutiny and were killed. In the end, the few remaining soul masters suppressed the army.

Mutiny.

Originally, before the war, the officials and nobles in the court were still considering whether they could take advantage of this opportunity to gain any benefits from King Ren, but now all such thoughts have disappeared.

What benefits can be gained? It's lucky to be alive. Duke Tulip's army is so strong that Luolin City can be defeated in one battle. Once the city is defeated, the families who have been stubbornly resisting will probably be liquidated.

Many people had the idea of ​​​​escape. Duke Tulip did not besiege the city. He could escape as long as he fell down the city wall with a rope from the other side, and he could also convey the situation in the city.

Cheng Ying saw all this scene, and he did not pursue the escaped dignitaries. Spreading the news would also be beneficial to his subsequent strategy.

His current siege method cannot be devised in a short time to defend the city. When his troops are pointed, even if he does not open the city and surrender, his morale will be greatly reduced.

Three days of bombardment, although the target was only the defenders on the city wall, also caused the morale in Luolin city to collapse. Facing the Tulip army that occupied the collapsed city wall, King Luolin unloaded his weapons and surrendered in person.

Cheng Ying wasn't sure whether this was a normal surrender process or whether King Luo Lin had been sidelined and thrown out just to be a scapegoat.

Cheng Ying just accepted the surrender of the Luo Lin Kingdom without expression and ordered him to be placed under house arrest. King Luo Lin breathed a sigh of relief and thought that Cheng Ying did not kill him. He might still have a chance to be a puppet in the future, at least his life could be saved.

, maybe there is still a chance to become the King of Peace.

With Duke Tulip's strength, being a puppet under him may not lead a life any worse than being a king.

But he didn't know that Cheng Ying had already sentenced him to death in his heart. The feudal rulers of the old era had no room to survive under his new system.

Not only will he die, but he will also die in an extremely humiliating way. Countless true and false charges will be placed on him, he will be tried in public, and then he will be judged in the name of the people after criticizing him to pieces.

This is a common method used by the Heaven Party on Earth. Only in this way can the dignity of the rulers of the old era be completely trampled under their feet, and the people of the new era can be built up with confidence and the belief that they are humans, not animals.

What Chengying needs is a group of people who strive for a better life for themselves, not slaves who work passively in factories like animals.

The reason why they are just keeping him under house arrest and giving him good food and drinks like a noble is because Cheng Ying is not yet capable of judging him. It is not a problem to judge a king, nor is it a problem to kill a whole clan.

As long as you have the strength, you can judge anyone, but what really makes people angry is to judge in the name of the people. That is terrible. In the past, mortals like a flock of sheep stood up, took up weapons, and fiercely, in the red molten steel

Stand aside, raise your hammer and steel gun, and fight for your rights.

What a terrible thing this is, which is unacceptable to any beneficiary of the existing system.

Therefore, he wanted to keep this king until when he was ready to fight the world alone, and then in front of the people of the whole country, he would be tried according to the new law agreed upon by the people.

One general's success can lead to thousands of bones being withered, let alone subverting an era. Compared with the resistance of a real weakling, stepping on the blood and bones of his companions, just to bite the upper body, such a tragic failure has now become

So much better.

After capturing Luolin City, the first thing Cheng Ying did was to go out and bring peace to the people. Although not many people believed him, as he said, trust was built little by little.

Cheng Ying was very strict about military discipline. If he said looting was not allowed, it was absolutely not allowed. Some guys who thought this ban was just rhetoric had their heads hung on the city walls.

This scene was also spread. Although it had a negative impact on the morale of Chengying's own army, the soldiers who had long been accustomed to strict military discipline just lamented that this high-voltage line was absolutely untouchable.

They really know about things like high-voltage wires. Although it is direct current, the voltage of the specially-made cancer cell battery is also very high, and there have been accidents of electrocution of people.

On the other hand, as compensation for not being allowed to loot, Cheng Ying asked the army divisions to lead people to ransack the homes of the dignitaries in the city. Those who did not resist were arrested and placed under house arrest. Those who resisted were directly bombarded until they were destroyed.

In addition, Duke Tulip also spread the news about the equal distribution of land. Although the statement that everyone is born equal is shocking, the real benefits of equal distribution of the land of the nobles who have been confiscated suddenly made the people in the city

People's morale has stabilized.

The resistance of those who were foolishly loyal to King Luolin was quickly suppressed. The people were looking forward to the rule of Duke Tulip. Chengying selected some of the politically aware students trained in the former manor and took over the management of Luolin City.

Rule. This will be the focus of his rule for a long time to come.

It is extremely necessary to completely reshuffle the city and replace it with one's own people. It happened that the powerful people in the city were either bombarded or arrested, and the power fell into a vacuum, so they just happened to take over.

However, Cheng Ying knew very well that if he wanted to rule stably, he had to show even more shocking power. Otherwise, there were still a large number of urban foxes and rats in Luolin City. These guys who bullied the weak and feared the strong would not be able to maintain a standing army to watch over them all the time.

We must find a way to frighten this group of people. Cheng Ying has already prepared this method. During the great purge in the city, some nobles clamored for it.

"Duke Tulip! You can't be arrogant for much longer. The royal city is in flames. In the Luolin Kingdom, the eighteen princes will definitely raise their troops to attack. By then, a hundred thousand troops will besiege the city. Even if you have great ability, you will be killed."

At that time, Cheng Ying just ordered the artillery positions to aim and fire, blasting the group of people to pieces, but he paid attention to the eighteen princes in his heart. If he wanted to kill chickens to scare monkeys, then these eighteen princes were undoubtedly the most suitable ones!
