Chapter 182: The respective tasks of the 3 dukes
After verbally explaining what the two dukes had to do during the attack on the Michar Empire by the army that the sun never sets, Sun Lin asked the two of them to take 5,000 well-equipped and experienced soldiers each with 5,000 well-armed swordsmen and giant shield crossbowmen plus 20 generals to lead the guards out of Wilcot Castle and march towards the territory of the two dukes, of course, this is just the vanguard, just to let the two of them quickly collect the two dukedoms killed in this ambush. Behind this total of 10,000 people, there are also 90,000 elite troops stationed at Fort Wilcot, ready to attack at any time.
Although the two dukes knew that these 5,000 people were nominally to assist them in seizing the territory of the two Dukes of Mishal who died in battle, in fact, it was also an existence to deter them, as long as their crooked thoughts were discovered by those people of the Sunset Empire Intelligence Network who were hiding beside them, it was estimated that these 5,000 people would eradicate themselves and all the high-ranking members of the clan as soon as possible, and then let a puppet replace them. Although it is a bit alarmist, when the two Dukes of Mishar saw three Mishaals who looked almost the same as themselves and the Duke of Wilcot in the fortress of Wilcott, the little ninety-nine in the hearts of the two Dukes of Mishal immediately disappeared, and they also knew at that time that the Duke of Wilcott would pose in front of them a posture of coexisting and retreating with the empire on which the sun never sets, because after reaching their status and age, surviving and enjoying themselves is what they are pursuing.
The tasks given to the two dukes by Sun Lin were different from those of the Duke of Wilcot, but in essence, they were both for the purpose of better co-opting the Mishals. Although in a nation like Mishaal, which has a crazy elite in his bones and will often let go, the best way to conquer them is to kill them, and kill them until there is a shadow on the sun for generations, but on the other hand, Sun Lin is afraid that this may cause a positive effect (in fact, 99% will cause), and finally Sun Lin decided to kill the Michar people when they found that they had no way to live, and used a special way to make them feel that they had a way to live, and this way is to join the great embrace of the empire on which the sun never sets. And this requires a few people to bear the infamy of most of the Mishals to make the head bird (the legendary Michael), and these people have a certain status in the hearts of the Mishals, so that people can wonder whether this practice is true or false, and the first choice of such people is the 5 Dukes who have fought against the Emperor of Mishal for many years.
The task given to Duke Wilcot by Sun Lin was relatively simple, but it was extremely financially draining. Because Wilcot had repeatedly tried to smuggle axe weapons in the Northwest Continent except for the Warsaw Alliance during his tenure as the ruler of Wilcott's fortress and his position as duke, he had a certain reputation in Michal for his secret passage with the former Lancer Empire and the Mars Empire, and until now some Lancester merchants who have returned to the Sunset Empire have secretly maintained this intermittent connection with the duke. If Cort was called the "Snow Plains Cunning Fox" by others, then Duke Wilcot was the "Snow Mountain Black Merchant", and Purple Rose, who was the honorary president of the Northwest Continent Coastal Area Chamber of Commerce, also recommended this person to Sun Lin, and told Sun Lin that if he wanted to play weapon smuggling in the Northwest Continent, this Snow Mountain Black Merchant was his biggest obstacle.
After learning about these circumstances, Sun Lin asked Duke Wilcot to completely control all the smuggling merchants and trade routes in the Mishal Empire before the Sunset Army included the last inch of the Michar Empire into the Sunset Empire, and then attack the trade industry of the Michar Empire. In other words, Sun Lin was ready to conquer the Mishals by force, and at the same time, he used trade to let the Mishals know that when they were wiped out and couldn't even afford a bucket of rice and a piece of cloth, they would have a good life only by joining the empire on which the sun never set. Of course, this practice is extremely financially expensive, and thanks to Sun Lin's agreement that the Empire's commercial guild will give Wilkot support to a certain extent, if Wilkot is allowed to do it himself, he will be declared bankrupt in less than one month.
Compared with Duke Wilcot's trade crackdown policy, the tasks of Cort and Crickett were bloodier and more difficult. They have only one task, before the start of the offensive in early August of the Sunset Army, they will subdue the territories of the two Dukes of Michar who died in battle, and let these 4 territories become the transit point of the Sunset Army when the Sun Never Sets Army, Sun Lin wants the two dukes to promise that when their army enters and receives these 4 territories, there will be no bloody suppression and no burning and looting, but Sun Lin also asked the two dukes to do it, when their troops receive it, there will be absolutely no negative voices, so that the Misharid people in these territories can wait and see.
It is very simple to let the civilians wait and see, because Sun Lin will promote the policy of benefiting the people in these territories, and the requirements of the civilians are not high, only food, shelter and clothing, and life is better than before. But the nobles in these territories are different, they will not hand over the rights in their hands, and even for this reason, these nobles will incite rebellion, so the two dukes have to do it verbally is very simple, that is, to get rid of the nobles in these 4 territories, but this process must be very bloody, because some of these nobles also involve the relatives of the two dukes, and the two dukes must make a choice between family affection and interests. Of course, there is no need to be careful about how to get rid of the two dukes of the aristocratic class, because Sun Lin asked them to complete the task at the same time, provided them with military support on the open side and intelligence network support on the dark side, all they had to do was decide how many people they had to kill to complete Sun Lin's task.
After watching the two dukes leave with 10,000 soldiers who never set sun, Sun Lin left the window and came to the battle command room again, this time Andrelt and Leo were already standing quietly in the room waiting for Sun Lin to speak.
"Okay, without further ado, let's get straight to the point! I have already planted the wedge, and when the offensive begins in August, Andert you will go and harvest it yourself, the battlefield of Mishaal is yours, I can't interfere too much, otherwise you won't be able to explain in front of your father-in-law. Sun Lin said with a smile
"Ahh This crown is ......... At the mention of Thebes, Andert was frightened at first, but then after thinking of something, the young general's face with a scarred face turned red again.
"It seems that you are destined to be eaten to death by Niss in the future, okay, I won't gossip, back to the topic, now I'll briefly explain the deployment of the August offensive................"
