rise of empire total war

Chapter 527 The New Year

After the republican army outside the city was wiped out, the remnants of the remnants of the army guarding the warehouses in the city finally chose to lay down their weapons and surrender to the compatriots outside. However, the Governor of Colman was not What a soft-hearted man, he directly demoted all the surrendered soldiers into slaves and confiscated all their property.

The so-called confiscation, to put it bluntly, is to bribe the Holy Roman Empire army who came to help. In order to consolidate his position, Governor Coulman bribed Commander-in-Chief Trond with a lot of money. The latter did not refuse and directly took the huge sum of money. Of course He would not keep it for himself. He took part of the huge sum of money and distributed it to each soldier of the expeditionary force, and the rest was going to be handed over to Richard after returning home after the war.

After two days of repairs in the Colman Territory, Trond led the army to advance to the Jacques Territory. The Jacques Territory is the colonial colony with the second-lowest number of immigrants after the Harus Territory. Seriously, according to the information available in Trond, the city of Jacques has split into two factions. The faction loyal to the Republic and the faction determined to change the flag are attacking each other, causing serious internal friction. The people decided to stop the civil war for the time being and repel the invading native tribes first.

Although the two sides were able to unite to fight against foreign enemies, the incoming indigenous army this time came with a fierce force, surrounding the city three levels inside and three outside, and attacking the city day and night, with a vague attitude that they would not give up until the city was breached.

At the same time, the Republic Army from the Zantaro Colonial Territory has entered the Jacques Territory and is heading towards the city where the Governor's Palace is located. The new parliament has now lost three colonial territories and cannot lose this last colonial territory that can be fought for. , so the parliamentary army took the risk to go to support.

After hearing the news, Trond immediately understood the idea of ​​the new parliament. His rationality told him that he should arrive before the parliamentary army took control of Jacques City, but the army was in this unfamiliar place. There is a guide to lead the way, but it still takes a week or two to reach the destination.

I believe that by the time his army reaches the city of Jacquet, the blue wolf-head flag of the Republic of Ansmara must have been raised there.

……

While Trond and his expeditionary force were on an expedition on the continent of Zane, two months later, in January of the new year, far away in the city of Vienna on the other side of the ocean, Richard finally received an autograph from Trond. Written battle report.

At this time, Richard was already 38 years old in a sense. Time has left indelible marks on his body. Several fine wrinkles appeared on his face, and there were also wrinkles on his long, lush golden hair. Got some gray hair.Although 38 years old is still in full swing, Richard still longs to be young. After all, no one in this world wishes to grow old.

His Stephanie has also passed the 42-year-old mark this year. Although the once glamorous cousin still has the same face, but careful observation can still notice the unavoidable aging on her face. Even so, the relationship of nearly 20 years of love makes the Richard always puts her first in his heart.

Cough, far away.

From the outbreak of the war to the present, according to the content written by Trond in the battle report, the expedition to Zane Continent has been smooth sailing. Except for the difficult rhinos and war elephants encountered at the beginning, those war scum Indigenous warriors simply couldn't pose a threat to the Holy Roman Empire army that had won many battles.

Because the battle report was written in early November, Richard had no idea what happened between November and January. The only thing he knew was that Trond was On the way to the Yaqt Colonial Territory.

Although he can understand the slow speed of information transmission in the Middle Ages, Richard still wants to complain. It takes almost two months to come from Zane continent, and four months to go back and forth. If there is any emergency military situation, he must inform Richard, by the time the news reaches the city of Vienna, the matter may have been resolved long ago.

When he thinks of this, Richard will have the idea of ​​setting up a governor-general in Zane Continent to rule over all colonial territories. It is unrealistic and unrealistic for him to remotely control the affairs of Zane Continent from Wadasia Peninsula. This led to mistakes in decision-making, so after he came up with this idea several times, he decided to wait for the remaining forces of the Ansmara Republic to be completely wiped out, then take all the colonial territories they left under his command and reorganize a large of the governor-general, appoint a capable noble whom he trusts as governor.

Of course, when you are a governor of a colony far away from the mainland, it is easy for separatism and independence to happen. This is definitely impossible when the empire is prosperous and strong. However, after the empire's national power declines, it is very likely that there will be a Turkish emperor who is unsatisfied with the status quo. Let the colonies hanging overseas establish independent countries.

Richard doesn't intend to think about these things. He just needs to ensure that there will be no rebellion during his tenure. Because his son inherited a powerful empire, as long as he is not too weak, he will not be able to quickly His family property has been wiped out, so at least within three generations, it will not be weakened. As for things after three generations, who cares?
……

The war against the remaining forces of the Ansmara Republic progressed very quickly. Trond and his expeditionary force wasted a lot of time on marching. Until the day Richard received the battle report he wrote, the Holy Roman Empire The expeditionary force has already brought the Yakot Colonial Territory and the Zantaro Colonial Territory into its sphere of influence, and has also wiped out the new parliament of the Republic of Ansmara. All the members were killed by the line of infantry that rushed in after the city fell in mid-December. After arresting them, Trond once again showed his butcher characteristics and pulled all the MPs outside the Governor's Palace and shot them in turn.

The four colonial territories were conquered by the expeditionary forces, and the indigenous tribes in their territory were also severely warned by Trond, and they did not dare to provoke them. , he announced to all the native tribes in his territory that trade would continue and that the imperial army would not initiate war unless provoked.

Trond's personal announcement made all the tribes breathe a sigh of relief. Compared with the Ansmara Republic, which has been at war with them, the newly arrived Holy Roman Empire is obviously more difficult to provoke. If mutually beneficial trade can be carried out, They are willing to live a peaceful life.

However, the aboriginal tribes of Harlus were not crossed off from Trond's massacre list. After occupying Zantaro, he wrote a battle report to Richard, and then led the army to attack Harlus. Because he did not conceal it deliberately, the indigenous tribes in Harus Territory quickly got the news.

How should I put it? It's quite bald.Harus led each tribe to think so.
