The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

According to the rules of the Arab Empire, when conscription is carried out, the village must recruit all the people. If there is no one, there must be a legitimate reason.

Now, not only are there no young people on the list in the village, even the elderly, the weak, the sick and the young are gone. It is obvious that all the people in the village have fled. If this is the case, then there is nothing to say. We must execute the highest order of the Arab Empire and burn down the entire village. If you run away at this time, you are no longer legal citizens of the empire. When you go back, you will be fugitives of the government, and you will no longer have to keep your houses.

"Don't be soft-hearted. After we leave here, someone will come to check. If they see that we didn't burn the village, then the blame will be ours. You don't want us to get into trouble, do you?"

Looking at the hesitant Sambik, Raf really didn't know what to say. Your father was also a decisive and ruthless man on the battlefield, otherwise he would not have made such great contributions. You are really unworthy of being your father's son. You still hesitate for a long time about such a thing. In the future, when we follow you to the battlefield, those of us may be the ones who suffer the most.

Sambik hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and ordered his men to start working. Even if he didn't want to burn down the village, the laws of the empire were here. If you don't want to punish these people, then you will become the one who is punished.

"Why has our country become like this? It doesn't matter what we do abroad, after all, it has nothing to do with us. This is our own village. Look at the houses in this village. It took a long time to build them, and now they are burned down. When they come back, all their life savings will be gone, and they can only become bandits in the desert."

There was one more thing that Sambik didn't say, which was that once you become a bandit, there is no turning back in this life. You will have to deal with the imperial army for the rest of your life. Including your descendants, you can only live in the desert. The common people are afraid of these desert bandits, but it does not mean that the bandits in the desert have an easy life.

When Sambik was still in the army, he was once ordered to encircle and suppress a group of desert bandits. Those people lived a life that was almost like hell. Apart from having food to eat, they had to face sandstorms in the desert every day, as well as various natural disasters. If the sandstorm was too severe, they might even be buried alive. In short, if there was a way out, I believe no one would be willing to go in and become a bandit.

Of course, there is no way around this. After all, your whole family has been burned to death, and the land allocated to you is certainly gone. In the records of the entire court, you are already a dead man. What else can you do except become a bandit?

If there are too many bandits in a country, it will not be a good thing for the entire country. The speed of population mobility will decrease, and all kinds of production will stop. The country itself is facing the trauma of war, and with a large number of people becoming bandits, it will be hard to know how the country will live.

"Put away your compassion. We can't care about so many things now. After we burn this place, we have to hurry back to report. If I'm not mistaken, we will have a lot of tasks next. There are really a lot of conscriptions this time. Marshal Sukhguman is scared."

When saying the last sentence, Raf almost put his mouth close to Sambik's ear. In broad daylight, saying that his marshal was afraid was not a trivial matter. If the relationship between the two was not strong enough, he would never dare to say it. If someone reported it, then one of his arms would be chopped off on the spot. The punishment in the Arab Empire was very severe, and it was also very harsh on its own people.

Many people in the army had great trust in Marshal Sukhguman. This guy led the Arab army in battles across the country and won various victories. As long as he fought a war, he would basically win.

But the situation is completely different now. The Tang army is also invincible. When the two sides clash, we should see who is the real trump card. Although the Arab Empire keeps proclaiming that we have won, anyone with a brain understands that even the young and middle-aged men around the capital are being recruited. Is this a sign of victory?
After the entire Anton Governor's Office was lost, it was already a heavy blow to the Arab Empire. Unfortunately, no one took it seriously at that time, and the lost troops were not front-line troops, so the high-level officials of the Arab Empire did not care about that. By the time you started to care about it, the Tang Dynasty army was different from the original one. This is also an important reason why you continued to fail.

When the whole village was on fire, it was already noon. Other people came over from the rear, thinking that something had happened here. But when they saw the whole village on fire, they realized that everyone in the village had run away. They hurriedly asked Sambik to call his men back, as they had other things to do in the afternoon. They couldn't waste the whole day on a deserted village. We don't have that much time to waste now.

Looking at the houses with black smoke in the distance, Sambik didn't know what to say. When he was on an expedition in the army, he also burned down many houses, but they were all enemy houses, and even some civilians were staying in the houses, so they were directly set on fire. But now it's our own civilians' houses that are being burned down. Our own army is burning down our own civilians' houses. What's going on? He didn't know what others thought, but Sambik himself couldn't get over it.

The mission in the afternoon was simple, which was to capture someone in another village. According to the information that Sambik had learned, they might have to go to seven or eight villages in the next five days, so they had to act quickly.

If you are slow, the people in the village may escape, and then our mission will not be completed. Don't think that burning the village is the end of the matter. The most important thing now is to catch the people back. If you can't catch them back, then everyone will be punished. As for what kind of punishment, it depends on your superior's mood.
