Chapter four hundred and sixty-eight
Originally, when Cons was governing the five southeastern provinces, he focused on laying the foundation. During the reign of the Shouge, he focused on plundering from the outside. It can be said that not only met the materials he needed, but also weakened the surrounding forces.
Therefore, the five southeastern provinces have a rich foundation. Even if Okor's granary is empty, it will not cause famine. As long as it remains the same, a large amount of food can be received during the autumn harvest, and it will not be difficult to be self-sufficient from now on.
However, when Okore and others saw less and less grain in the warehouse, they were frightened and immediately decided to organize a large army to launch an attack on the outside and grab supplies to meet their needs.
The reason why they made this choice is because they do not have strong government affairs capabilities.
Just imagine, Okor was just the patriarch of a tribe before, and then he was the lord of several villages. Later, he became a landlord and had no experience in governing such a huge territory as five provinces and millions of people with such many people.
And most importantly, the first cabinet, which was originally well-operated, has a large number of officials who have had several years of experience. If they were fully accepted, there would be no problem in the entire five southeastern provinces.
But the problem is that the first pavilion was first pulled away by Xiangwen, then scared away by Bikud, and finally killed by Okor. The rest were all goods that were turned to the wind, and they were just minor officials who recorded some information and conveyed the documents.
Is it okay to ask them to help govern the five southeastern provinces and not cause trouble for you, but I still want to make the government and people harmonious?
Okor's men originally wanted to learn how to be in power, but when they were busy, they found that things were not as fun as expected, and even made them anxious. When they heard that they would form a legion and go to war with the outside world, they immediately threw away the government affairs and ran to become an officer.
For them, it is more enjoyable to cut off the merits with one knife and one gun.
With a large number of people missing their own people to help at the grassroots level, Levin and other civilian officials were as busy as dogs, but they ended up getting half the result with twice the effort. It took more time to form five legions.
Judging from the name, the five legions are a large army of two million people! There are so many forces in the entire empire, but none of them have such huge military power.
However, those external spies who came to spy on the storm because of the storm, found the information and burst into laughter and went back to report directly.
The heads of forces who received the news pointed at the documents and laughed. Such a legion could also be created to show off two or three. It was such a beggar legion!
What can it be called if it is not a beggar's army? More than 90% of soldiers use bamboo guns, 90% of soldiers do not have military uniforms and boots, 90% of soldiers do not have armor, 80% of soldiers have not been trained, and there is a huge lack of remote attack weapons such as bows and arrows.
Not only did the Southeast Army, which had originally had combat power, were dispersed from the five legions, so that they could not gather into elite soldiers, but the only established cavalry division was deprived of its cavalry status due to loyalty and transferred all to be infantry, while those war horses were possessed by new cavalry who had never ridden a horse and stayed in the rear for training.
Anyone with discerning eyes knows that the powerful Southeast Army has completely lost its combat effectiveness by the newly appointed Okor.
The Southeast Army is now just a fat and scary domestic pig. It turns out that its terrifying fangs and tough pig skin have disappeared.
"Kill the fat pig!"
In an instant, the surrounding forces in the five southeastern provinces also had this idea in their minds.
I have long been drooling in the five Southeast provinces. Now I have finally turned wild boars into domestic pigs, so of course I have to seize this great opportunity.
As a result, the forces of these forces began to be mobilized frequently.
The millions of bandits besieging the five southeastern provinces were already beaten to a close and collapse, but they didn't expect that the enemy in front of them would actually destroy their martial arts. Since that's the case, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill in and eat pigs and sheep!
Of course, Okor knew the abnormal movements around him, but he didn't care. Anyway, this battle was to eliminate the threat of liberating slaves, and the more fierce the battle was, the better.
Okor really doesn't believe that there are nearly 300 magical weapons hidden in the five legions that specifically attack the enemy's heads, and he will defeat the battle himself.
And I also specially used some killer moves, which would definitely make the 80-year-old man fight as fiercely as the 18-year-old young man. If he would lose in this way, the sun would come out from the west!
The reason why Dorma was willing to give all three hundred magic weapons to Okor was that after Okor took office, he immediately recognized Dorma's Secretology as the only religion in the five southeastern provinces, and helped Dorma build a church in a very short period of time.
Dorma recited this and distributed three hundred magic weapons to Okor.
Okol, who had obtained command, tested the ability of the magic weapon with great interest, but Okol was stunned and extremely happy.
Okor never thought that the magic weapon and the demon were completely different from two extremes. Although they were not afraid of stabbing the knife and the gun, the demon would be in a mess after being attacked by these attacks, while the magic weapon could automatically recover, and the body would be without any scars.
Of course, pressing them into meat sauce with big stones will certainly not be able to recover.
Moreover, the magic weapon is not afraid of fire burning water and flooding the soil, but this fire burning is just ordinary firewood. Dorma said that if it is soaked in an oil tank, the magic weapon will turn into ashes.
The only weakness of these divine weapons is their heads. Once their heads are cut off, these divine weapons will die completely.
I knew my weakness and cut it with a knife. Although the skin of the divine weapon was very hard, it was not impossible to cut it off. I understood that the divine weapon was not invincible, Okor breathed a sigh of relief in secret.
Faced with the endless mysterious methods of secret education, although Okore is one of the church members, he is also frightened. Now he finds that he is not without the power to fight back against them, and he always feels much better.
So Okor left ten magic weapons as guards, and the others were sent to the army as one of the killer moves to assassinate the enemy's head.
Okor didn't notice at all, and the experiments of magic weapons that he thought were hidden and hidden fell into Dorma's eyes.
Seeing Okol breathing a sigh of relief after finding out that the divine weapon was cut off, Dorma smiled and said to himself: "If Okol knew that these were just the lowest level divine weapons, what kind of expression would there be on his face? I'm really looking forward to it."
It felt that the army was almost reorganized, and Okol was unwilling to let them waste food anymore. After asking all the soldiers to take a sip of the light wine with enough white water, he waved his hands and five legions rushed out of the five southeastern provinces.
The bandit army, which was originally excited, collapsed immediately after being rushed by the guy who was more than twice his own number and was fuller than his own.
In one round, the millions of bandits who had besieged the five Southeast provinces for more than a day were defeated. Of course, Okor was full of ambition and ambitious.
At the same time, those forces that originally despised the beggars' legion took a breath. Oh my God, didn't you say the beggars' legion? Why is the combat power so fierce? It seems that you should act carefully.
The army that was already ready to set off was ordered to be alert by these over-thinking guys, and their morale inevitably declined a lot.
And the five southeastern provinces, like taking aphrodisiac, swept across the ground like a whirlwind, and then excitedly rushed towards these forces.
After fighting with these legions of beggars, these forces understood why millions of bandits were defeated so quickly, because all these Southeast soldiers were crazy!
They rushed over completely regardless of life and death. Such a terrifying battle, if they were not determined enough, they would collapse at once, and they would not even be able to withstand such a charge!
The combat effectiveness of the Southeast Army under Okol's control once again shocked the world. In less than a month, the territory of the five Southeast provinces was doubled by the beggar legions. In other words, in one month, Okol held a million troops and had ten provinces!
Although it seems that Okol accounts for almost one-third of the empire's territory, everyone is not optimistic about Okol.
Because I don’t know what nerve this Okore is, any place occupied by his beggar legion is like being gnawed by locusts. All the substances are either digested on the spot by the beggar legion or continuously transported to the five southeastern provinces.
Judging from this action, Okor wanted to treat the five southeastern provinces as bases and surrounding provinces as plundering places, and had no intention of governing the newly occupied land.
In fact, Okor was wronged.
How could Okore, who wanted to unify the empire, not want to govern the occupied land? But he had no choice, because he did not have so many civilian officials under him. Although he also posted notices to recruit, most of the people who came were at the same level as the Okore people.
Moreover, it is not enough to stabilize the five southeastern provinces, so how can it be sent out?
However, after these problems were troubled, they were thrown aside. Okor happily admired the treasures and beauties from the tribute below.
His current money is so much that he can just use gold coins to pave the way.
Of course, compared with the rich harvest, the losses of the five legions were also heavy. At least 70% of the soldiers were killed in battle. Yes, there were no injuries, all of them were killed in battle, and few officers died in battle, all of them were soldiers.
Okor, who received the report, didn't care at all. When he touched his mouth, the hundreds of thousands of bandits captured and those who were about to become bandits because their homes were destroyed, were immediately pulled out enough young and strong to supplement the gaps of the five legions.
However, these supplementary soldiers had not yet come on the stage. The five legions that were resting in the five newly occupied provinces were immediately defeated by the enemy troops who called their friends to gather their troops to fight back.
When the five major legions ran back to the boundaries of the five southeastern provinces, only officers at all levels were left, and no soldiers were left.
Originally, such a huge casualty was enough to make Okol feel distressed, and even if he didn't make him feel distressed, the pension was enough to make him bankrupt. Unfortunately, Okol waved his hand unconsciously and transferred a group of young and strong people. Besides commending the officers, Okol did not pay a gold coin to those who died in battle.
At this time, it is still impossible to see that Okor is playing the war of attrition that he does not regard people as humans at all, so that would be really an idiot.
The people of the five southeastern provinces immediately panicked, and the strong men who were dragged into the army were also ready to escape, but the tribe-men armed forces built by Okorla were not easy to share. After a crazy slash and slaughter, the commotion was suppressed.
In order to prevent these strong men from causing trouble for themselves, Okor drove these strong men out and robbed them with a sip of light wine.
Looking at his countless money and food, and then looking at the extremely elite tribe armed forces, Okor smiled with satisfaction, but Levin, the ignorant guy, came to pour cold water on him again.
"Lord, I want to ask you not to attract the men to consume them anymore!" Levin said with a panic expression on his face.
Okor raised his brow and wanted to scold him, but thought that Levin had always been his most loyal subordinate, and he couldn't help but slow down and said, "Why do you say that? They have stolen a lot of money and food for us!"
"Now these materials are enough for our five southeastern provinces to live through three to five years without relying on anyone. Why not do great things that can not only strengthen ourselves but also weaken the enemy? You must know that you agreed at the beginning!"
"Lord, I didn't expect the loss to be so huge. Although we plundered so much financial food, we also lost nearly two million people!" Levin said this, his voice trembled a little.
Okor waved his hand disregardedly: "Hi, why am I just two million people? What's the matter? As long as we want, we can form a large army of two million people at any time."
When Levin heard this, his whole body felt cold.
It was so light and there was no fluctuation in the mind and body? When did my lord become so cold-blooded?
That's two million lives, not two million pigs!
Levin knew that after joining the Tantric Buddhism, his lord had a much stronger mentality than before, and he became much more indifferent. He acted more inclined to do whatever he wanted and was determined to make profits. If he directly advised him, he would not only not listen, but he would not end up being good!
So Levin forced himself to suppress his thoughts and said nervously: "But lord, this is two million young and strong! Two million young and strong are gone, and now two million young and strong are coming. These two million young and strong can no longer be consumed like this!"
Okore looked disdainful: "Isn't it just two million young and strong, why bother...uh..."
Okor was just temporarily confused by the easy victory and huge gains. He didn't really know anything. He understood at this moment and asked with a trembling face, "How many young and strong are there in our five southeastern provinces?"
Levin knew that Okol had woken up and immediately said, "Only 200,000 young and strong!"
"Ah! Two hundred thousand? Why is it so small?" Okor was immediately shocked: "There are millions of people in the five southeastern provinces? Even if two million young and strong people were destroyed, one and eight million of them were slaves, and hundreds of thousands of prisoners were behind them. There was no local young and strong person in the five southeastern provinces at all. Why are there only so few?"
Anyone with a little bit of mind understands how important the amount of young people is to the growth or failure of an organization.
Levin was immediately stunned when he heard this. It took him a while to look at Okor with a strange look.
Okor, who was upset by seeing, slammed the table and shouted: "Why are you stunned? Answer me quickly why there are only 200,000 young and strong people in the five southeastern provinces!"
Levin drooled, then shrank and said carefully: "Lord, the millions of people in the five southeastern provinces included that one million and eight hundred thousand slaves, and the Cons era and the First Pavilion era liked to demote prisoners of war to slaves. When Cons started his own business, he had only a small piece of territory, and the subsequent territories were all captured. Therefore, it would be very amazing if there were 200,000 strong men in the real country."
Okor blinked: "You mean that most of the millions of people in the five southeastern provinces were attracted by the losers after the Grand Governor's Office won?"
Levin nodded, his head lowered.
Okor asked again: "Those one million and eight million slaves are actually the strong men among the millions of people?"
Levin nodded again, his head getting lower and lower.
Okor asked: "In other words, I pulled out all the strong men in my household registration, and thought they were burdensome, so I drove them out to die?"
Levin nodded.
Okor said with pale face and eyes blank: "Haha... I actually sent more than two million strong men on the books to die and only 200,000 strong men left, and I was complacent and thought I had gained benefits. Do you think I am very stupid and idiot?"
Levin nodded subconsciously, but immediately woke up and hurriedly raised his head and shook his hand to defend himself: "Lord, no..."
