18th century total war

Chapter 13 The Spirit of the Contract
The First Line Infantry Regiment's search of the entire territory of the Charles family is still going on, but the order in Charles Town has been restored, and the residents of Charles Town, under the propaganda of the First Line Infantry Regiment, walked out of the closed doors one by one .

Afterwards, they saw a large number of corpses being pushed to the square in the center of the town by wheelbarrows one after another, and there were a large number of prisoners of war beside them, under the guard of soldiers from the first-line infantry regiment, who kept piling up some chopped firewood. It seems that a huge cremation bonfire is being built.

Of course, all the hard work was done by captured captives. After rounds of massacres, these riot farmers who surrendered became better-behaved one by one. Whether it was the original leader or ordinary riot farmers, the treatment was the same.

Li Wei didn't send anyone to screen at all, and even the leader Bolcha was not singled out!

This made many leaders hidden among ordinary rioting farmers breathe a sigh of relief, but also felt very confused.

Why didn't this Baron Levi punish their leaders?

Or is Baron Levi waiting to punish him after the fact?

Of course, these leaders and even Bolcha were not worried about their own lives. When they surrendered, they had already received the promise of 'hand down your guns and not kill' given by the officers of the first-line infantry regiment.

Everyone heard it!

If Li Wei went back on his word and killed their leaders, who would dare to surrender to Baron Li Wei in the future?

In this era, the spirit of contract has already appeared in Europe, and countries may treat treaties as farts. Anyway, if there is a war, no one will care about a treaty.

But the binding force of the contract between people is still very strong, because tearing up the contract will damage the reputation of the individual, and the higher the position, the more important it is for the person!
Those with low status will have laws to punish those who break the contract.

In the history of Europe in Li Wei's previous life, why was a certain French dwarf rejected by the entire European upper class?

There are many reasons, but one of them is unruly and lack of contract spirit is definitely the top priority!
Napoleon's diplomacy is so bad, it has a lot to do with his liking to tear up the contract, no one likes a strong monarch who does not abide by the contract!
At that time, the seven anti-French alliances were successfully formed, not because the British's diplomatic means were too strong, but because Napoleon's reputation was too bad!

Of course, Napoleon didn't care about his reputation at that time, so he started wars wantonly. It was not until Napoleon abdicated in Waterloo's disastrous defeat that Europe truly restored peace.

Now Li Wei naturally wouldn't ruin his reputation for some petty gains, especially when he was still very weak.

Napoleon's arrogance was in the period when he was in control of a country. Before that, Napoleon was still willing to abide by the rules.

To put it bluntly, the contract is quite useful to the weak, and only the strong will not care too much about it.

This is like the law is formulated to protect the weak and restrict the strong.

Is it true that kings and nobles need the help of the law to oppress the common people?
Why do later generations have to separate the three powers?
Is it possible that everyone doesn't know the reason why power is more efficient when centralized?
Who doesn't understand that the parliament is a place where a group of people quarrel, which will seriously delay administrative and judicial efficiency, but no one wants to abolish the parliament. To put it bluntly, it is to prevent power from being concentrated.

When power is concentrated, one country has one voice, the power of the country can indeed be fully erupted, and internal strife can be avoided.

However, for most people, it is a disaster, because the hope of the whole country rests on the will of one person, and all people have selfish desires!

It's okay if you meet a wise king, otherwise a foolish king is likely to drag the whole country into the abyss of disaster.

The decline of the Manchu Empire at the beginning was related to the emergence of several mediocre and foolish emperors in a row. Cixi, who finally came to power, was an old hag who did everything for her own enjoyment, and dragged the entire empire to be buried with her.

Of course, Li Wei did not screen out the leaders of the Peasant Rebel Army headed by Bolcha, which is also related to Li Wei's next plan.

It has long been impossible to recruit young adults of the right age to join the army in the territory of the Charles family. Even if Li Wei has a little honor value, the number of people does not reach the upper limit of 1000 for the first training period, and Li Wei will not activate the training camp effect of the total war system.

When the Charles town training camp does not have the training effect of the total war system, it is a very ordinary training camp. It will not brainwash and will not improve the training effect.

Only when the Glory Points are invested, various special abilities will appear in this training camp.

Of course, during the training period, those recruits who are put in must stay in the training camp for a full month before they can.

It's not a month of circles, but real training, according to the infantry drills of the relevant arms in the training camp!
Now that Li Wei has opened the training template for the basic line infantry, he has naturally obtained the training manual for the basic line infantry, just follow the training code.

During the training period, going outside the training camp to practice in the field will not affect the training effect, as long as everyone lives in the training camp.

Of course, the distance from the training camp should not be too far, and the time should not be too long, otherwise the training time limit will be broken. If so, the glory value invested by Li Wei will be abolished, and the brainwashing effect and training effect will become imperfect or even incomplete. Invalid!
Therefore, in the first phase of training, Li Wei used the money stored in the town of Charles for many years to recruit the young and strong from the surrounding villages and towns to join the army at a high price, and then promised a huge profit, and let the guard captain Garth who was sent by Earl Charles at that time Cole Owen served as the commander of the first batch of training recruits.

That is, the current lieutenant colonel of the first line infantry regiment.

Gascoll was originally a crony of the Count sent by Earl Charles to supervise and restrain Levi from messing around in the territory. However, after completing a period of training in the training camp, he became Levi's die-hard loyalist...

Not only Gascoll, the captain of the guard, but all the members of the guard who followed Levi back from Paris to Charles town were put into the first training period, served as officers at all levels, and all became Levi's loyalists!

That's why Li Wei didn't suffer any constraints in the town of Charles, and there was only one Joseph who didn't deal with him.

Li Wei had already known about Joseph's private report to Earl Charles through Gascoll and others, and also asked Gascoll to write a letter to Earl Charles to mislead Earl Charles.

Earl Charles still trusts Gascoll, the old man who has been with him for many years, more than Joseph who has not seen him for many years.
