Black Iron Crown

Chapter 38 Cleansing

In short, Reiner is quite satisfied with the harvest this time. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand The Wealth of Nations.

Satisfied, he put away The Wealth of Nations and began to read other books, but to Reiner's regret, these books did not trigger another buff for him like The Wealth of Nations, most of them were knight novels or poetic history That is epic.

Reiner browsed casually for a while, and Sir Wallas knocked on the door of Baron Robbean's study.

"Lord Baron, the soldiers have assembled. All the prisoners are being held in the dungeon of Goerburg, guarded by two soldiers. We can free up our hands. They are very excited!"

Reiner nodded, and then said: "Very well, what we need to do next is to clean up the squires of the Gwen family and the branches of the Gwen family. All factors that are not conducive to my rule must be cleaned up. Divide into three groups, I will take one, you will take one, and Sir Codd will lead one, you must restrain the soldiers and prevent them from acting recklessly in each village!"

"Yes, my lord, the soldiers are ready! I will restrain them!"

"Well, you have to remember that I can allow them to do this in Goerborg, but if they still behave like this in the villages below, I have to punish them. What I want is for the residents of Goerborg to My ruler is convinced and supports me, they can't continue to burn, kill and loot!"

"You have to tell Sir Cord what I said, so that he can understand what I mean!"

"Yes, my lord, I'll tell you right now!"

After Sir Wallas left, Reiner glanced at Baron Robbean's study room, and after making sure that he hadn't missed anything, he walked out of the room and walked towards the castle hall.

At this time, the castle has completely fallen into the control of Leiner, and basically all of Baron Robian's men were taken out by him to attack Fort Morland. Soldiers hacked and killed or captured.

Leiner walked into the hall, and saw nearly sixty soldiers neatly standing in a small square formation in the hall. Although it was not absolutely neat, it at least looked like an army.

"Soldiers! Now I want you to clean up the remnants and supporters of the Gwen family for me. You have to clear them in every village. After clearing them, you will get 30% of the spoils!"

"But I have to say one thing, except for the remnants of the Gwen family, I will never allow you to do what you did in Gorburg again. They will be your fellow countrymen and my subjects in the future. If I find out Whoever did this, you will have eighty lashes waiting for you! Do you understand?"

"Yes my lord!"

the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Very good, let's go! Go find your spoils! Get rid of all the Gwen family members, and set off now!"

In this way, twenty archers were left stationed in the castle, and the melee infantry and knights of the Merland family divided into three groups and began to sweep the subordinate villages of Goerburg.

There are a total of 18 villages under the jurisdiction of Gorburg, which can be divided evenly. Each team is responsible for six villages. It is estimated that the cleaning can be completed within three to four days. By then, Lena will be able to completely control Gorburg. .

At this time, Lena was riding on the back of the war horse sent to him by the system, walking slowly on these country roads in Goerburg. The residents of these 18 villages did not gather in Goerburg. Fort Merland stood on top of it, and there were not many Kladers who went to Fort Gol to plunder, so Baron Lobean didn't move the residents to the castle.

Relocating to the castle was a last resort for the lords of the northern border. Thousands of people in a baronial land all entered the castle that was only designed to accommodate hundreds of people to escape.

Not only people have to come in, but their valuables and food have to hide in the castle, which will cause the whole castle to become very crowded.

Baron Lobean was unwilling to live with these people for a whole winter, so he chose to let the residents stay in his village.

If this were not the case, it would be really not easy for Reiner to break through Goerburg. If there were thousands more people in this castle, there would be at least seven or eight hundred adult males. Dozens of Morland German troops can defeat it.

Not gathering the residents in the castle gave Leiner the opportunity to send troops to separate and clear the remaining forces of the opponent.

"Lord Baron, Hongguo Village is just one kilometer ahead!" A scarlet griffin knight said to Reiner, looking at the map in his hand.

Behind him were more than a dozen soldiers, as well as two Scarlet Griffon Knights and three Merland Knights. This kind of force was not weak, even if it was enough to slaughter the entire village, it was just to clean up a few of the Gwen family. The remnants are simply more than enough.

Under the snow cover, the country roads no longer exist, and they are all buried under the snow. Only when the sun regains the upper hand in spring, and the snow melts, can they continue to perform their responsibilities.

The speed of the snow march was extremely difficult and slow, and they walked for nearly an hour for less than one kilometer.

"Oh my God, run! Get out of here!" When they arrived near Hongguo Village, some villagers who were looking for food in the snow around the village found them, shouting and fleeing.

For people in this era, the army is more terrifying than robbers, and the army of the lord to which they belong is much better, but once they encounter other lords and are in a hostile state, the end will be miserable.

To use a saying from the previous Celestial Dynasty, that is, bandits are like a comb and soldiers are like a grate. They are much more powerful than robbers in killing people and robbing things.

"Lord Baron, should we end them here and prevent them from tipping off to the village?" A Moreland knight asked beside Reiner, and it was obvious that they didn't take the lives of these low-level serfs seriously. On, you can deprive at will.

But Reiner didn't think so. He still valued these serfs, not only because of the world view formed by the education he received in his previous life, but he also knew that the most important thing for a lord is not the army or wealth, but the population he can control And food, these two things are what a lord really needs to develop and pay attention to.

"No, we don't need to care about them. Even if the villagers plan to resist us, don't be afraid. You can defeat them with a single charge, let alone they don't have that kind of guts!" Reiner waved his hand and said firmly.

After the knight listened to Reiner's words, he nodded his head to show that he understood. He didn't know if he really understood what Reiner meant, but he was forced to succumb to Reiner's identity.
