Chapter five hundred and seventy-two killed seven at once(1/2)
William was seriously short of manpower and his foundation was too shallow, so the enemy's land could not be occupied. This would only disperse his power.
However, people have lost their land.
You can do it, but you must hold it in your hands.
After several victories, William had many more prisoners, and even aristocratic prisoners with great status.
After they fell into William's hands, they were still clamoring to get the dignity that the nobles should have, so they asked for a hammer, so William sent them to wash the toilet and carry feces.
All prisoners who fall to William must accept labor without exception.
These failed noble prisoners are still unwilling to do such "lowly" work, and they look like they want face and lifelessness.
Do you still have to support them and stay for the New Year if you refuse to work?
William directly dug a big hole, then threw the nobles into the big hole, and then began to throw the soil down, preparing to bury them alive.
At first, these nobles were still fearless and thought that William was just threatening them. They had seen and done too much of this kind of thing. How could William dare to go against the entire aristocratic class alone?
But after the soil covered half of their bodies, the failed nobles found that William was actually playing the game, so they started crying and begging for mercy, saying that they were willing to do some low-key jobs.
As long as a stubborn nobleman is still holding on, he will not compromise.
William's solution was also very simple. Other nobles begged for mercy were taken away, while the noble with backbone and dignity was directly buried with loess.
The loess covered his neck. When he was almost at his mouth, he realized that William was not a joke. The fear of death lingered in his heart. He suddenly became panicked and wanted to beg for mercy.
But it was too late, and William only gave him one chance.
So the other failed nobles watched the scene of the "stubborn" nobles being buried alive, and they all felt a chill in their hearts.
It's strange that when they are above and above determine the fate of others, they won't be so sentimental.
But when they became the ones who were determined by fate, they began to panic, and looked like the untouchables in their mouths, where was the dignity of noble blood?
These captured nobles, in groups of five people, began physical labor under the supervision of supervisors.

William's sudden burst of strength was beyond Prince Ferret's expectations.
After several consecutive defeats, Prince Feret could no longer bear it. He sent an envoy to find Prince Charles. After explaining the pros and cons, the two began to work together to siege William.
For both of them, a weak William may be a good buffer zone between the two princes' territories, but a powerful Hanlai collar is the dagger that is pressed against their waists, which may be dead at any time.
Moreover, William's development was so rapid that they would never believe it without the assistance of their sinister brother.
In fact, this is true.
The Hanlai Corner was built by William himself brick by brick. Liszt is icing on the cake, but it is by no means the cornerstone of the current grand occasion of the Hanlai Corner.
After the strength of the two princes merged, the army suddenly expanded to more than 18,000, surrounded the entire Hanlai clan from all directions and slowly contracted. He wanted to catch a turtle in a jar and catch it all in one go.
But how could William make them happy?
In this world where communication is very backward, communication between the villages depends on shouting. The connection between them is not close enough, how can we surround William's Hanlai's leader tightly?
And this is William's opportunity!
A major feature of the army led by William is that it comes and goes like the wind, and its offensive is like fire, and it always suddenly breaks out, as if it can predict the future.
This is the full use of the magic mirror's ability.
And what is even more insidious is that William only grabbed Prince Ferret's army and launched an attack, while Prince Charles' army did not move at all.
After several battles, Prince Ferete's army's strength has dropped drastically.
His army had been hit by William several times, but now it was the same "treatment", but his brother Prince Charles' army was never attacked.
Under this situation, Prince Ferete's heart became suspicious, suspecting that there was something wrong with it.
Even if everything is just a coincidence, if his strength declines too much, it will have an impact on his status.
Under such thoughts, Prince Ferit began to work hard and even retreated slowly, wanting Prince Charles' army to be in front.
Prince Charles is just a bad temper, but he is definitely not a fool. He is even much more agile in the battlefield than Prince Ferrett.
When Prince Ferrett's army was attacked by William and did not support him in time, Prince Ferrett's behavior was soon known.
Prince Charles was so angry that he roared in the tent, cursing his two younger brothers loudly, and then without discussing, he led his army back for more than ten miles, which was equivalent to withdrawing from the battlefield.
Prince Charles is gone, how dare Prince Ferret face William's army?
He hurriedly took his troops back to his territory, and retreated into his turtle shell like a turtle!
The first territory survival crisis of Hanlai's territory was resolved in this way, so that the late king's envoy did not know what to do!
Mediation?
It seems to be.
Both Prince Charles and Prince Ferret expressed their intention to William through the King's envoy to the truce and redeem the noble soldiers captured by William.
William's answer was simple. It was possible to have a truce and redeem the noble soldiers, but Prince Charles and Prince Ferret fought him with an unjust war, which caused him to suffer unprecedented losses, so he had to lose money.
If there is no compensation, he will and will only choose the territory of a prince for endless harassment and fierce attacks until one of the two sides completely falls.
This threat was simply a rogue, but Prince Charles and Prince Ferrett had no choice but to compromise again.
After some bargaining, the two princes compensated William for a total of 23,000 gold coins.
The aristocratic soldiers, according to their status, ransoms range from one thousand gold coins to fifty gold coins.
Just this item also contributed more than 6,000 gold coins to William.
William heard that when those noble soldiers were redeemed, the first thing they did was to take a bath and enjoy the food.
As for what happened during the prisoner's period, many of them were unwilling to recall it, it was an unbearable history.
The winners are compensated, the nobles have ransoms, and as for those ordinary soldiers, neither Prince Ferret nor Prince Charles, no one is in advance.
In fact, most of these people are said to be soldiers, but in fact they are ordinary people who are forcibly recruited and have average combat effectiveness.
Only a few guys with knight status are the backbone of the army.
These people, either the second son of the nobles, the illegitimate son, or the knights and servants, have long been redeemed together.
Only ordinary people are ignored.
According to the unspoken rules of this world, after the battle between lords is over, ordinary soldiers of this type are often let go because the food they consume is far more than the value they generate.
The two princes originally thought that William would abide by this unspoken rule, but they did not expect that William would not follow the script at all.
The captured ordinary soldiers were not let go, but were demoted to slaves, and then fed for food and accommodation, engaging in the most difficult urban construction work.
This caused the two princes' territory to fall into a "labor shortage" situation after the war.
Yes, after defeating the powerful enemy and receiving a lot of compensation, William put all his gold coins into the construction of the city of New Nisse.
The scale of brick making workshops, cement firing rooms, and farming fields continues to expand.
Pottery workshops, breeding gardens, fertilizer workshops, etc., are springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain and constantly popping up.
With the increase in the flow of people, special buildings such as theaters, libraries, and schools have also been built.
Construction has also begun on the cement pavement and wide sewer in the two-way lane.
Now the entire city of New Nisse is like a large construction site, with construction sites everywhere and dust everywhere.
But this attracted a large number of caravans to trade.
The entire city of New Nisse has become very lively.
For this reason, William also established the Chamber of Commerce in Xinnisai City to deal with various businesses.
Louis, the middle-aged old man, had to take on this important task temporarily!
At this time, the city of Xinnisai, including slaves, had a permanent population of 11,000, and the migrant population was as high as more than 12,000, which had formed a relatively stable pyramid-shaped hierarchical structure.
Among the pyramids, William is undoubtedly the top one.
The second is relatively advanced managers like Louis and David.
Next is the member of the Thunder Wrath who joins the army and gets free people or the member of another army.
During this war, at least a hundred people were reduced. In order to commend their achievements, everyone gained the status of a free citizen.
William's army was full of free people.
The lower status of Hanlai's leader was the old slaves who followed him step by step. Some of them had obtained the status of free people, and only a few were first-class slaves, and they were on the verge of promotion at any time.
The one with the lowest status was the captives in the war, the lowest-level slaves, engaged in the most dangerous and arduous work, and had to undergo brainwashing education every night.
But with the most basic food and clothing guarantee, the upward channel will not be closed to them.
The city of New Nisse is changing with each passing day and can be seen by the naked eye.
The area where William's Lord's Villa is located is expanded again.
The residential and administrative districts were separated, and a new government hall appeared, where Louis and others worked.
The increase in lime production has led to the increase in cement production, allowing William to harden the cement floor of eight main roads in the entire city of New Nisse and other secondary roads.
This behavior completely changed the image of the entire city of New Nisse and also made the caravans coming and going.
