Chapter VIII The Mutation of the Province of Flanders
Well, in Normandy, where the Norman Empire had been ruled for a long time, the emotions of the crowd were quite stable. The recognition of the empire was also high. So when we landed in Normandy and swept the mobs in this county, General Fal did not feel anything was wrong. Everything went smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, the Brittany region, which had also ruled for a long time, was once a territory of the Kingdom of Britain. However, it had been included in Flanders by the Norman Emperor for a period of time. It was also crushing and fighting, beating a group of mobs to cry and crying. At this time, the general had already found something was wrong. Indeed, people did not seem to be too grateful for the "save" of the Norman Empire. Of course, there was no malice.
After re-establishing the order and transporting a large amount of food, seeds and other daily necessities through shipping, the people of Brittany also agreed with the continued rule of the Norman Empire. No trouble occurred.
The real problem was in the Ile-de-France county. This county, which occupies almost half of the Flanders, including the two cities of Paris and Orleans, not only did the mob resist more intensely, but the original residents did not cooperate with the Norman Empire's occupation work very well.
Here, Emperor Norman's new lackey encountered a real war. He encountered nearly 50,000 soldiers, two or three times the number of his army. Moreover, these people had barely had a certain organization and equipment, which was better than the mob he had encountered before.
However, the mob was a mob after all. The final result of this war still ended with the victory of the Norman Empire crushing. General Farr used the Nordic Wolf skill to increase the ability of his army. Then he resisted several assaults by the mob with a new army, as well as strong crossbows and longbows and artillery. He also killed a large number of enemy troops. When the mob's morale was low and his physical strength was almost exhausted, the Norman Knights on the flank launched a charge.
Under the cover of large artillery, the knights were in a state of power and destroyed the opponent's flanks in one fell swoop. General Far ordered the entire army to attack and defeat the enemies in one fell swoop. Then the Hussars on both wings were dispatched, slashing the defeated soldiers and captives. After half a day of battle, the mob armed forces were wiped out. The remaining scattered mobs fled into the forest, which was no longer a concern.
After the war, General Far discovered something wrong and soon realized that this "wrong" was something that His Majesty the Emperor asked him to "invest" before leaving - he found something among the mob that should not be said to be "mob". It was a group of troops equipped with ordinary continental countries today that did not include Norman standard equipment, heavy chain armor, steel helmets, door shields and spears.
Previously, this army was hidden as a trump card of mob armed forces. However, before it could be used, these mobs were defeated and fell. Then, the so-called "elites" of these people were swept away together, and then they were captured by the Norman Hussars and no one ran away.
Looking at these equipment, the equipment that was sprayed with Aquitaine's emblems were not removed. General Nafar was not a fool, so he naturally understood what was going on--
"It's really just a little kid. Do you really think you can change your fate?" General Fal snorted coldly. As usual, he found out the sick people, killed them, burn them, or saved a process, and simply burned them to death. He demoted the healthy mobs to slaves and sent them to Siberia on a ship to mine...
After finishing the trophy, General Farr ordered the troops to enter Paris. He decided to rest in the capital of the former French Kingdom, and used some military supplies - expensive white bread, vegetables and bacon to reward the army, celebrate victory and boost morale.
During the march, the general took the time to write a letter to his emperor, writing out everything that happened along the way, and then sent it out through Norman spies in the situation of the pigeon letter.
"This matter seems to be very obvious. The Duke of Aquitaine incited and even armed the mob. Combined with the recent spread, he wanted to marry Princess Mary of Burgundy, and he probably wanted to take the entire French region into his pocket. It's easy to make up."
General Fal rode his horse, closed his eyes, and slowly headed towards London. At the same time, he thought in his heart. As cruel as his lord, the general not only did not worry at all after learning about this, but became excited on the contrary - because it meant more wars, and more wars mean more murders. As long as he killed people, he would feel happy.
Being burned, hacked, smashed, stabbed, crushed, squeezed, broken... Thinking of these things, I feel very happy... Haha... Hahahahahahaha...
Just when the general was trying to laugh nervously, he heard the army ahead in an uproar, as if something had happened.
"What's going on?" the general opened his eyes, frowned, and asked. Soon, a vanguard scout from the vanguard came over to report:
"General! Our forwards arrived at the outskirts of Paris! But those damn Parisians have betrayed the Empire. They refused us to enter the city. They claimed that they had nothing to do with the Empire! Some bold and arrogant people in the city claimed that they were free city-states and did not accept the jurisdiction of the Norman Empire!"
"What?!" Hearing this news, the general was a little surprised - this is really a big deal. Are these Parisians crazy?! It really seems to be what His Majesty the Emperor said before...
Before the general left, Egil had summoned him alone and gave him a face-to-face opportunity. Many of these things were already thought of by General Farr. Of course, some unexpected things were - such as this. Before, the general did not believe that someone would be so stupid to betray the Empire and the Emperor.
However, Egil said this: "If you encounter a rebellion - I do not refer to those mobs, but places that mobs cannot reach, those cities that originally belonged to the empire - it is naturally the best if nothing happens, but if something happens, don't forgive me. I want you to use the blood and corpses of 100,000 people to prove that some things in this world cannot be violated!" (..)
