007 Prepare to attack

"Brother, I have talked about the leaders we have won in private, but they are unwilling to follow us to the villages outside the Charles territory to attract people. Like those short-sighted people, they only want to seize and destroy the contract documents placed in Levi and obtain their own land."

Anthony reported to his elder brother Polkhahui in anger.

"Oh, this may not be their own intention, but their subordinates. After all, they are the leaders selected by people from the same village. Even if they don't care about the contracts themselves, they will not go against the wishes of most of the people below.

I can understand the situation of those people, and I was like that at the beginning.”

Boercha was not angry or surprised. He asked his younger brother to contact him in private, but just made the final attempt.

Since the last time the rebel leader held a meeting and his proposal was rejected, Polcha knew that there was no essential difference between the peasant uprising army in Charles' territory and the peasant rebel army in his hometown before.

If the town of Charles had not been compromised so far, there would be a regular army of thousands of people in the town, and this huge rebel army with a population of more than 3,000 people would have disbanded long ago.

A foreigner from Boercha could lead such a huge rebel army in a short period of time, and adopted the system of one village leading one village.

When every village recruits people, the rebel farmers who participated in the war in that village will jointly select a leader and act as the leader, while Boercha is responsible for contacting and controlling these leaders.

However, Polkha's leadership status is very unreliable. To put it bluntly, his main role is to take the lead and connect the rebels in various villages, not to say that those leaders are really willing to fight for him!

Now everyone has a common goal, and the authority of Polkha can still be maintained. Once everyone achieves their goals and breaks through the town of Charles, Polkha's fate will not be much better than before.

Even so, many resolutions, Polkha is not a one-man show in the rebel army. Although he has won many people, he has not regarded himself as the leader of Polkha’s subordinates, and Polkha has just held many leaders to discuss major resolutions.

At this time, Polkha had already deeply understood why the regular army and even the noble private army in history were disdainful of the mob formed by farmers.

Even the rebel army formed by farmers struggling to death by starving, the knowledge level restricted the eyes, making most people very dull and difficult to form a joint force.

"Brother, what should we do now?

Go to attack Charles Town?

The leaders below no longer want to delay any longer. The rations carried by their rebel soldiers are about to be eaten up."

The Rebel Army of Polkha did not have stable logistics supplies, and food weapons and other materials were obtained through self-raisal and looting.

The territory of the Charles family was a traditional feudal aristocratic territory. In other words, it was a backward area dominated by agricultural production, with no factories at all, and few handicraft workshops were also concentrated in the town of Charles.

The economic pillars of the Charles family territory mainly rely on the sale and transaction of various agricultural products, while industrial products are purchased from big cities.

This situation can be seen everywhere in the Kingdom of France. The cities are responsible for producing industrial products, and the vast rural areas provide raw materials, agricultural products and cheap labor. In this way, cities are naturally much richer than rural areas. It is not difficult to understand why rural people are despised as the fourth class by urban people...

In this era, class oppression is dozens of times more serious than in later generations!

Later generations have at least freedom and democracy as a guise. Rich people and those in power dare not blatantly trample on the law. They have to do it secretly, and they must manipulate media and public opinion to prevent exposure.

But in today's era, it is reasonable for aristocrats to trample on the streets and curse civilians. Those rich factory owners are exhausted from the laborers in the factory!

Everyone even believes that the death of a nobleman is a big deal, but it is worth celebrating that a civilian can claim compensation if he dies.

In the words of philosophers, people of this era are numb walking dead and people without thoughts.

Only revolution, only outbreaks and killings, can the old forces oppressing the mighty and blessings on the people awaken and make concessions!

Although in the Kingdom of France, capitalist bankers are in the third level like ordinary civilians, the lives of both sides are really a paradise and a hell. Many nobles even want to please those capitalist bankers just to borrow money from them!

Otherwise, how could the bourgeoisie with low social status touch the commanding heights of power?

Money can connect.

The higher the status of aristocrats, in order to maintain the so-called noble demeanor, the more amazing the daily expenses are. There are many noble children who are not good at making money. In the end, in order to maintain demeanor, they can only rely on borrowing money to survive.

At that time, when creditors need it, they will visit them and exchange political rights at the expense of erasing debts. How many nobles can refuse?

Rights belong to the state, but debts belong to oneself!

This is why Louis XVI, who clearly possesses centralized monarchy, was defeated so quickly and thoroughly in the Paris Revolution.

The bourgeoisie's infiltration into the aristocratic class was too powerful. The group of aristocratic groups that claimed to be liberals were to put it bluntly, aristocrats who were dressed in the cloak of capitalists, or feudal aristocrats bound by capital.

They are no longer distinguished from the bourgeoisie. How could they not help the bourgeoisie obtain rights under the bondage of interests?

Of course, Polkha did not understand these truths. He is now in a dilemma and attacks Charles town. Once he wins, he is likely to face a disband crisis again.

If you lose, the outcome will probably be even worse. Li Wei, the nobleman, has a reputation of being cruel and incorruptible!

However, this time, Polkha is no longer a waste of trouble. Once he captures the town of Charles, his reputation will spread further.

Moreover, this time he has attracted a group of friends who are willing to take risks. Even if he disbands, he can still leave a group of people and have his own team to make a fortune.

"Anthony, send people to gather the leaders to discuss the attack on the town of Charles."

Boer looked at Anthony's distant figure and thought to himself:

‘The line infantry regiment founded by Li Wei has a total of 1,000 people. If I win this battle, I can get at least 1,000 muskets. Even if there is a loss in the battle, the inventory in Charles town and the gun workshop will have great gains.

After winning this time, I will have the capital to raise a team of thousands of people!
