From Wild Mage to Wizard King
Chapter 281 The Great Purge in the Making
Just when the old leader sent someone to deliver Roland's things and slaves, and also planned to transport a batch of alchemy potions to sell to the United Army to make more money.
On the land of the committee, with Roland's order, a new purge was quietly brewing.
Although the War Committee has gained a firm foothold through two months of suppression and stability maintenance.
The land of the committee members has also been divided, more than two-thirds of the land has been assigned to the Central Bank Province, and the rest has been transformed into the Committee Province.
In the Central Bank Province, a large number of cities have been incorporated into the management of the Administrative Department. Under the orderly management of the Administrative Department, the Central Bank Province began to gradually cancel military control and restore normal order.
In the Committee Province, except for the cities that were originally ruled by the Border Region Faction and had a higher degree of stability, which also lifted military control, the remaining cities still maintained strict military control.
In addition, with the integration of all the military forces of the committee, the military department has also successfully completed the reorganization of the army.
At present, the number of subordinate military forces of the War Committee is astonishing.
Roland alone has 200,000 troops under his command, and among the members of the Border District, the minimum number is only 5,000, and the maximum number is more than 30,000.
Adding up the scattered troops, the War Committee can currently mobilize nearly 500,000 troops, but the quality of these 500,000 soldiers is uneven.
Among Roland's 200,000 troops, there are nearly 40,000 recruits who have not yet completed the recruit training, and among the 300,000 troops of the Border District, there are only less than 50,000 who can be regarded as reliable combat forces. The remaining 250,000 troops are half ordinary elite soldiers who have seen blood, and half are recruits who have just been trained for a short time.
Therefore, there are only about 190,000 who can really be called combat forces, and the rest need to be retrained, even the ordinary elite soldiers of the Border District who have seen blood are the same. At least they have to learn some breathing techniques. In Roland's military planning, there is no place for ordinary people in combat soldiers.
Moreover, among these 190,000 soldiers, the soldiers of the Border District cannot fight in teams.
Due to the combat tradition of Donnar, they can only fight alone under the command of the border faction members. Once they are combined and act together, it is easy to cause various conflicts and problems.
When they were rebels, no one cared about these conflicts and problems, but Roland could not accept it, so they also needed to receive retraining later.
In summary, the War Committee has not yet completely completed the administrative and military integration. For the vast territory newly controlled, the control is currently limited to the city, and the vast rural areas are still under the control of the tributary rule.
Moreover, although the rural forces that tried to make trouble or rebel were suppressed by mobilizing military forces, and the rampant banditry of all sizes was eliminated.
However, the vast rural areas only chose to lie dormant under the military pressure of the committee, and did not really accept the rule of the committee.
The local factions and local separatist forces hiding in the rural areas are quietly dormant. Although the rampant banditry is no longer rampant, they have not disappeared completely, but have quietly integrated into the vast rural areas.
They did not accept the rule of the committee and may stab the committee in the back at any time.
In this regard, Roland naturally wanted to strike first.
Therefore, after completing the initial integration and confirming that the United Army would not send troops to the committee, Roland mobilized the army and prepared to carry out a thorough cleansing of the vast rural areas.
As for why Roland did not complete the cleansing of the rural areas before announcing the establishment of the committee.
It was mainly because the local faction was too weak and the civil war ended too quickly. Roland was originally prepared to fight the civil war while also cleansing the rural areas.
Who knew that the local faction did not even dare to fight and collapsed at the first touch. In desperation, they could only control the city first to maintain order.
Although Roland can continue to maintain military control, the blockade of the entire territory is not good for the development of the War Committee. If it wants to develop rapidly, the War Committee still needs to maintain communication with the outside world.
Therefore, Roland quickly announced the formal establishment of the committee to the outside world after completing the basic stability maintenance.
And the result was also within Roland's expectations. Although the United Army had some opinions about the War Committee, this did not hinder normal business activities.
By killing and plundering local factions, the War Committee has accumulated a huge amount of wealth. If these gold and silver treasures are not spent, they will be nothing but waste.
Therefore, after resuming normal business activities, the wealth of the War Committee poured into the United Army and the Chamber of Commerce of Sinnar like water. Correspondingly, a large amount of resources and slaves poured into the War Committee, which accelerated the reconstruction and restoration of the territory.
It was also to speed up the reconstruction and restoration of the territory and gain more time to complete the administrative and military integration that Roland temporarily suspended the pace of the cleansing of the rural areas.
However, as towns in various places were included in the rule, the reconstruction and restoration work in various places had obvious results. After the administrative and military integration of the committee became more and more perfect, Roland also turned his attention to the vast rural areas.
In this world where extraordinary people exist, although the level of development of cities will be slightly higher, the population is still mainly concentrated in the rural areas, because agriculture is the main mode of production at present.
If the War Committee wants to win the war against the Green Tide, then naturally it cannot let go of the population in the rural areas.
Whether it is various large-scale engineering projects in the future, strange machinery factories or the military, a large number of people will be needed to fill them.
The population of the city alone is definitely not enough, so Roland cannot allow the autonomy of the rural areas and let so many laborers still be tied to the countryside.
A large-scale purge of the rural areas is an inevitable result.
Whether it is the local factions that fled to the countryside or various local forces, whether they have thought of resisting the rule of the committee or not, they are all within the scope of Roland's purge.
Whether it is an ordinary feudal landlord, a slave owner, the patriarch of a large family, or a famous rural priest, as long as they have the ability to influence the village, whether they have used this influence or not, whether they are kind or malicious, even if they fully support the rule of the committee, they are all within the scope of Roland's purge.
This large-scale purge that Roland is brewing is destined to be a bloodbath.
Roland wants to take advantage of this large-scale purge to completely smash the tradition of rural gentry autonomy in Donnar for thousands of years, and integrate the vast rural areas into the control of the War Committee.
On the land of the War Committee, only one voice can be left.
