Crossing the otherworld to build the Gundam

Chapter 823
Yelishaud has recently received some news that many towns and villages in the area he currently controls have rebelled. Once many Dion troops appear near any town, they will definitely be blocked and pursued by Tianyi mercenaries.

……

Yelishaud followed many generals and senior officials to a meeting.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, there are reports and records that some towns were captured by the Tianyi mercenary group by using villages and towns as springboards to attack or infiltrate." A Mu Liao reported.

Then another staff member reported: "There is also a record in the report. Once the residents of the villages and towns discovered our army, they informed the Tianyi Mercenary Group of our army's movement and location. When some remote scouts discovered that our army was captured, they were Residents of some villages and towns were beaten, and although the Tianyi mercenaries tried to stop them, the residents of these villages and towns even ignored the obstruction and attacked our captured troops. From their eyes and curses, it seemed that they were very resentful towards us."

"What's even worse is that local residents in some cities are collaborating with residents of these villages and towns, and even providing cover for the Tianyi mercenaries to sneak in, resulting in street fighting in some cities being unable to achieve effective results."

Yelishaud listened to these reports and understood in his heart why such a thing happened and why the residents of the villages and towns within his own country betrayed the country and helped outsiders. These were all caused by his country's policies.

When the country was strong, although ordinary humans were oppressed, at least they could still live and get by, despite the foreign wars initiated by the emperor.

At first, the slaves were used as cannon fodder, and finally it was the turn of ordinary humans to be thrown to the front line. After that, more and more sacrifices were made. Even most of the food and crops produced by farmers in villages and towns were forcibly confiscated by the state.

For these farmers, even three meals a day and enough food and clothing have become their extravagant hope. It’s a shame that the people in these villages and towns don’t resent the country.

Most of the talents under Ye Lishaode understood the cause of the matter, but others either didn't know or were pretending to be confused.

"These damned villagers don't even think about it. It was Dion Empire who gave them a stable life, but they didn't expect that the country was in danger and the enemy invaded. They actually defected to the enemy and betrayed the country. After the country's crisis was explained, these villagers We must not let anyone go, kill as many as there are!" A general stood up and said.

"General Akud, do you know why these people betrayed us?"

"They can't accept His Majesty's new humanism, thinking that the Tianyi Mercenary Group can let them be the masters of their own affairs and not be overwhelmed by our new human beings."

"Do you think the reason is His Majesty the Emperor's New Humanism? If that's the case, then it's impossible for every village and town where the Tianyi Mercenary Group passes to join them to rebel against us. Even if there are ten villages and towns, it's impossible Do you know what the most important reason is for all ten of them to join them?" Yelishaud glared at General Akud.

"Well, the reason may be that they are unhappy and resentful that we recruit young and middle-aged people."

"If this is the case, it is not enough for them to oppose us. When the country is in trouble, everyone has the responsibility to defend the country. Even if His Majesty the Emperor's new humanism is not good for them, at least they will help the country, because no matter what, The land in the countryside belongs to them, and they will also defend their land and fight for the country. They betrayed us and the real reason for opposing us..." Yelishaud reached out and patted the door, and a staff member opened the door. Dragging a tray with two bowls of food and a plate with a slice of bread.

Yelishaud pointed to General Akud, and the staff placed the tray in front of General Akud.

General Akoud looked at the two bowls of food on the tray and the bread on the plate. The one on the left of the two bowls was something sticky that looked like mashed potatoes, and the other was a drink that looked like a white liquid.

General Akud was a little confused, so he looked at Yelishaud.

Ye Lishaode said one word coldly: "eat".

"Yes."

He couldn't take a spoonful of mashed potato and put it into his mouth. As a result, he looked very ugly and vomited it out.

"Bah, bah, why does this mashed potato smell sour?"

"General Akud, please eat another bowl of food and watch."

When General Akud took another sip of white liquid from another bowl and put it into his mouth, he frowned and said, "This is the taste of porridge, but why is there no porridge but all water?"

"Then you eat and look at the bread."

The general of Akud took a bite of the bread and spat it out directly and said, "Why is there still sand in this bread?"

"Humph, you can still eat fresh eggs and ham every morning. Those villagers who you said betrayed the country only eat these, and some villagers can only eat one meal a day, and they still eat these!" Yelishaud said After that, he slammed the table in anger.

Ye Lishaode continued: "These are collected by my own troops from other villages, so that we can know what the villagers eat. We can't even provide the villagers with three meals of food and clothing. How can you still Do you expect them to help the country work hard?"

Faced with Yelishaud's questioning, General Akud lowered his head in shame.

Yelishaud then snapped his fingers, and there were many and countless projection screens behind him.

"Look at the screens behind me. If you think about it, you will understand why these villagers turned their backs on the Tianyi mercenaries."

Many of the projection screens were Tianyi mercenaries who came to the village and not only did not embarrass the villagers, but the Tianyi mercenaries not only gave these villagers food, but even handed over the seeds needed for planting to these villagers.

The tractors, machines, fertilizer spreaders, etc. that farmers need are all handed over to the hands of these farmers by the Tianyi Mercenary Group.

Moreover, there were also some Dion troops captured by the Tianyi mercenaries. The Tianyi mercenaries released these captured Dion troops and allowed them to return to their hometowns.

You can see on the screen that these captured Dion soldiers returned to the village, hugging their families and crying with joy.

These Dion soldiers and their families who were able to return to their families also shook hands and hugged the Tianyi mercenaries to thank them.

These Dion soldiers who have returned to their relatives are no longer soldiers, but farmers in villages and towns. They have disarmed and returned to the fields to become farmers again.

"According to the information obtained, we used to charge 30% of the harvest collected from farmers in our country, while the Tianyi Mercenary Group only charged 10%. Moreover, the Tianyi Mercenary Group did not collect it now, but said that it would only officially collect 10% after three years. Now the first They have not taken any money for three years, but we have forcibly confiscated more than half of their harvest in the past few years." Yelishaud told everyone present.

Everyone present lowered their heads in shame. They all understood that the betrayal of these villagers was caused by them. The villagers had already turned their backs on the Dion Empire.

At that time, the door opened, and another Mu Liao came to Ye Lishaode to report something.

"Who planned and executed this plan?" Yelishaud asked.

After Mu Liao told him, Ye Lishaode nodded and said to himself: "Salamanda, Salamanda, I really loved talents so much that I let you live. I didn't expect you to be alive now." You have become the biggest headache for me, and I really regret that I should not have given you a way out."
