BXBX NOVEL Chapter 822: support
Yelishod attended a meeting with numerous generals and dignitaries.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, according to reports, some towns were captured by the Tianyi mercenary regiment using villages and towns as springboards to attack or infiltrate." A Mu Liao reported.
Then another staff member reported: "There are also records in the report. Once the residents of the villages and towns found our army, they even informed the Tianyi mercenary group of our army\'s movement location. When some long-range scouts discovered that our army was captured, they were attacked. The residents of some villages and towns beat up, although the Tianyi mercenaries stopped them, but the residents of these villages and towns even ignored the obstruction and attacked our captured army, judging from their eyes and cursing voices, it seems that they are very resentful towards us."
"What\'s worse is that the local residents of some cities are also cooperating with the residents of these villages and towns, and even used cover to let those Tianyi mercenaries infiltrate. As a result, the street fighting in some cities cannot achieve effective results."
Listening to these reports, Yelisaud understood why such things happened, and why the residents of villages and towns within the country\'s territory would betray the country so much and help outsiders. These were all caused by the policies of the country.
When the country is strong, although ordinary human beings are oppressed, at least they can still live, and the days can go on. The emperor launched a foreign war.
In the beginning, the slaves were used as cannon fodder, and in the end it was the turn of ordinary humans to be thrown to the front line. Afterwards, more and more sacrifices were made, and even most of the food and crops produced by farmers in villages and towns were forcibly confiscated by the state.
Even three meals and clothing for these farmers have become their extravagant hopes. It would be a ghost if the people in these villages and towns did not resent the country.
Most of the talents in Yelisaud\'s hands understood the cause of the incident, but others either didn\'t know it, or pretended to be a fool.
"These damned villagers don\'t even think about it. It was Dion Empire who gave them a stable life, but they didn\'t expect that the country was in danger and the enemy invaded. They actually defected to the enemy and betrayed the country. After the country\'s crisis was explained, these villagers Absolutely not one can be spared, kill as many as there are!" A general stood up and said.
"General Akud, do you know why these people betrayed us?"
"They can\'t accept His Majesty\'s new humanism, thinking that the Tianyi Mercenary Group can let them be the masters of their own affairs and not be overwhelmed by our new human beings."
"Do you think it\'s because of His Majesty\'s new humanism? If that\'s the case, it\'s impossible for every village and town where the Tianyi mercenary group passed by to join them to fight against us. Even if there are ten villages and towns, it\'s impossible." Do you know the most important reason for all ten to join them?" Yelisaud glared at General Akud.
"Well, the reason may also be that they are unhappy and resent us for expropriating young, young and middle-aged people."
"If this is the case, it is not enough for them to oppose us. The country is in trouble, and everyone is responsible for defending the country. Even if His Majesty\'s new humanism is not good for them, at least they will help the country, because no matter what, The land in the countryside is theirs, and they will defend their land and fight for the country, they betrayed us, against our real cause..." Yelisaud reached out and patted, the door opened, and a staff dragged holding a tray with two bowls of food and a plate with a slice of bread.
Elishad pointed to General Akud, and the staff put the tray in front of General Akud.
General Akud looked at the two bowls of food on the tray and the bread on the plate. On the left of the two bowls of food was something that looked like mashed potatoes from Sticky Lake, and the other was a drink that looked like white liquid.
General Akud was a little confused, so he looked at Elishad.
Yelishod said one word coldly: "Eat".
"yes."
He had to take a spoonful of mashed potato and ate it into his mouth. As a result, his face was so ugly that he vomited it out.
"Bah, bah, why does this mashed potato have a sour smell?"
"General Akud, you can eat another bowl of food."
When General Akud took a mouthful of white liquid into another bowl with a spoon and put it into his mouth, he frowned and said, "This tastes like porridge, but why is it full of water instead of porridge?"
"Then eat and look at the bread."
Akud\'s general took a bite of the bread and spat it out, saying, "Why is there sand in this bread?"

"Huh, you can still eat fresh eggs and ham every morning. Those villagers who you said betrayed the country eat these, and some villagers can only eat one meal a day, and they still eat these!" Yelishaud said After finishing, he slapped the table angrily.
Yelishaud went on to say: "These are collected by my own troops in other villages, so that we can know what the villagers eat. We can\'t even make the villagers eat three meals a day. How about you?" Do you expect them to help the country work hard?"
Facing Yelishod\'s questioning, General Akud lowered his head in shame.
Yelishod then snapped his fingers, and there were countless projection screens behind him.
"Look at the screens behind Ben Gong, and you will understand why these villagers turned their backs on us to the Tianyi mercenaries."
Many of the projection screens were Tianyi mercenaries who came to the village and not only did not embarrass the villagers, the Tianyi mercenaries not only gave these villagers food, but even handed over the seeds needed for planting to these villagers.
The Tianyi mercenary group handed over the tractors, machines, fertilizer spreaders, etc. needed by the farmers to these farmers.
Moreover, there were some Dion troops captured by Tianyi mercenaries, and the Tianyi mercenaries released these captured Dion troops and let them return to their hometown.
On the screen, these captured Dion soldiers can be seen returning to the village, embracing their families and weeping with joy.
These Dion soldiers who were able to return to their families and their families also shook hands and hugged the Tianyi mercenaries to thank them.
These Dion soldiers who have returned to their relatives are no longer soldiers, but farmers in villages and towns. They disarm and return to the fields to become farmers.
"The information I got is that in the past, we collected 30% of the harvest from our country and farmers, and the Tianyi Mercenary Group only needed 10%. Moreover, the Tianyi Mercenary Group did not collect it now, but said that it would officially collect 10% after three years. Now the first They didn’t take any money for three years, but we, for several years, forcibly expropriated more than half of their harvest.” Yelishaud told everyone present.
All the people present bowed their heads in shame. They all understood that the betrayal of these villagers was caused by them, and the villagers already had their hearts against Dion Empire.
When the gate opened, another Mu Liao came to Yelisaud to report something.
"Who planned and executed this plan?" Ellisaud asked.
After Mu Liao informed, Yeli Shaode nodded after hearing this, and said to himself: "Salamanda, Salamanda, I really loved talent back then, so I let you live. I didn\'t expect you to be dead now. Becoming the most troublesome person for this palace, this palace really regrets not giving you a way out."
