Chapter 549: People's Heart
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Tousa is talking about Mengke, the current Mengke is a priest with the bearman legion, and is the head of the priesthood group, the priest group is different from the legion, although there are not as many people in charge as the legion leader, but the level is the same, and Mengke is also the first priest of the bearman tribe, so it is not okay for the bears not to pay attention to it, but Tousa does not know, the information given by Mengke is carefully selected by Connie and others, in Mengke's mouth, the Mekai Empire has not existed at all, and the werewolves are still resisting stubbornly.
Although this is the case, but what Meng Ke said is at least true, in fact, there is no need for Cook to deliberately do this, because the atmosphere that Cook has created for his subordinates will continue to influence, and some purposeful races will simply explain themselves after a period of integration.
Because Cook has no selfish motives in doing this, and the new order established by Cook, although it is not absolutely fair, just, and equal, but at least in the eyes of the current orcs, this is a country that only has a legend.
For more than 99% of orcs, they can be fed, warmly dressed, have a little spare money, have a comfortable hut, don't have to huddle together in the snowy night, hungry for warmth, don't have to look at the empty food pockets every day and get anxious, don't have to watch the baby scream hungry, but the mother doesn't have the slightest milk, and doesn't have to watch the lively child being frozen to death and starved to death after a night, this is the wish of most orcs.
This kind of good life can only be found by legendary gods, but now the Mekay Empire is like this, here, you don't need to walk on the road because you are a vassal race, and keep giving way, and sometimes you have to crawl on the ground and let the noble lords who are high up pass by.
Here, you don't need to look at anyone's face, and you don't need to pay all kinds of taxes, because the empire collects taxes uniformly, and then the empire uniformly gives the budget of each department for the next year, as well as the appropriation, and any form of overtaxation will be sent to court by the empire.
So when the vast majority of orcs live this kind of life, from the initial surprise, excitement to the last worry, these ordinary orcs just know that their family's life is better, they have money in their hands, their children are stronger, their wives' faces are ruddy, and their mother's illness is also alleviated.
These orcs knew that there was a huge empire to the north of the Mekay Empire, and if that huge empire ruled here again one day, it would be hard for these ordinary orcs who had lived a good life to imagine returning to that cold, dark, hopeless day, it would be an unbearable day to look back on.
So these orcs have to do everything diligently, for the sake of the strength of the Mekai Empire, the child is old, and he goes to war with Lao Tzu, the eldest son is dead, and the younger son is dead, and the younger son is dead, and there is a grandson.
So in this world, the conscription of the Mekai Empire is almost beyond imagination, originally 10,000 soldiers, but there are 100,000 people, and the training of these orcs is also very hard-working, without the slightest complaint, even if they are hard and tired, these orcs will not shout, because these orcs have hope in their hearts.
The hope in the hearts of these orcs is something that these nobles can never imagine, and when the example is set, countless people will follow.
Ordinary civilians in the Orc Empire will think to themselves: "Why do we have to suffer from cold and starvation, while the guys on the other side distribute food, livestock, and clothing!"
Once such a thought takes root in their hearts, then as time goes by, these ordinary orcs who are not the Makay Empire will become more and more resentful of their own empire, resentful of the nobles, and even more resentful of the Makay Empire.
Resentful of the army of the Mekai Empire, why didn't they hurry up, and slowly this kind of sentiment began to ferment and some places began to erupt, killing nobles and overthrowing the rule of the Orc Empire.
What Cook didn't know was that the busiest thing in the Mekay Empire now was Connie's military headquarters, often just arrived at a place, and his heels had not yet stabilized, let alone set up camp, and the white flag immediately flew at the head of the city, and all the military headquarters had to do was to follow the gate of the city that was opened by ordinary people and low-level soldiers, and then rush in and liberate the city.
As soon as the city was liberated, the surrounding towns immediately swarmed with countless people, and these people escorted the nobles and nobles from various places.
And the second busiest is the court, because the court has to screen the good and bad of the nobles, and then give certain criminal laws and punishments.
The third busy thing is logistics, because it is necessary to confiscate and count the assets of the nobles, and to give ordinary orcs a minimum guarantee according to the plan, so Cook has no idea how busy the Mekay Empire is now.
Cook only occasionally got the news: "Today the Minotaur Golden Ring City has surrendered!" Such news, Cook did not know that the territory of a Minotaur was at least twice the size of the largest empire of mankind, and in a few days, the fall of the entire Minotaur territory did not surprise Cook.
Because the rest and recuperation a while ago was basically Cook's preparation, and at the same time let the power of the example spread even more, at that time, Connie and the others also questioned Cook's decision, because at that time, it was the time when the Werewolf Clan's army was broken up, and the troops of the Mekay Empire were winning.
In Connie's opinion, morale was the highest at that time, and it was much easier to fight, but Cook saw it differently, Cook wanted to exchange the least casualties for a greater victory, and now Cook has done it.
When Elder Stronghoof came to Golden Ring City again, the two elders of Stronghoof and Sath couldn't believe that it was Golden Ring City, because there was no trace of battle here, and ordinary orcs were full of excitement, and the tavern was even fuller, except for some patrolling rabbits, Dougs, and bear-man soldiers, the rest did not look like the usual Golden Ring City.
"Good boy, full suit of chain mail!" Elder Sass sighed as he looked at a ten-man patrol walking by.
"You old bear don't know, do you?" said a minotaur who was setting up a stall next to him.
"Don't know what?" said Stronghoof, in a low voice.
"This is just the security team, not the soldiers of the Empire, the soldiers of the Empire are standard equipment, these security teams are just the last troops of the Empire. The minotaur who set up the stall looked at the strong hooves and explained without fear.
"Impossible, the last troops have this equipment?" Sass was the first to disbelieve.
"Damn, it's all nonsense to tell you, you go to the recruiting office in the central square to see, the standard equipment of the soldiers of the empire is a full set of plate armor, a small round shield, a one-handed sword, a dagger, a one-handed crossbow, and a generation of witch medicine, a bag of emergency rations, and the rest are configured differently according to different types of troops, pikemen are equipped with spears, and the shield of the shield hand is a large pure metal shield ...... one person high. The bull head of the stall argued.
"These guys didn't meet any resistance when they entered the city?" Stronghoof finally couldn't help but ask.
"Resist, old man, you have something wrong with your brain, we are looking forward to the army of the Mekay Empire coming soon, don't you know, we just got up that morning, and we heard a shout, it turned out that the Mekay Empire had entered the city, it is said that the army of the Mekay Empire was originally going to camp outside the city last night, but the captain on duty at the east gate had already been ready, and opened the city gate directly, and those who were officials were still sleeping in the bed, and this morning I got up and saw a slip of bare buttocks, the scene was spectacular. The minotaur who set up the stall asked sarcastically.
"Hmph, you traitors, spineless fellows!" Stronghoof cursed loudly.
"Bang! You damn old guy, you are a nobleman when you look at what you are wearing, you nobles know a fart, Lao Tzu used to set up a stall here, not only to be eaten for nothing, taken for nothing, and collect me taxes at most eight times a day, what cleaning tax, land occupation tax and the like, but since the Mekadi team came, Lao Tzu did not pay a single tax, and a few bastards came to eat for nothing, and the patrolling security team first hit the board, and then sent to the coolie camp outside the city for labor reform, Lao Tzu saved money for the first time, not to mention that every day the empire will find a job for ordinary orcs without a job, my neighbor's family is a fifty-year-old man and a child, and there is a minimum guarantee every day, is to receive food and living items for free, I even heard that my neighbor is in the first batch of aid list of the mutual aid association, go, your guy must be a runaway nobleman, come here, catch the noble!" "Zhuanghoof knew that he just complained, and was directly hit to the ground by the minotaur who set up the stall, and Zhuangho almost couldn't believe it, and when Zhuanghoof reacted, he had been pressed to the ground by countless minotaurs.
Stronghoof heard the words of the minotaurs around him, and was extremely affectionate.
"Nobles, where, where, arrest!"
"yes, arrest it, it's these damn vampires, or my little son wouldn't be dead!"
"That's it, grab him and hang him!"
"No, send him to the court, let him be a coolie for the rest of his life!"
"Hey, isn't this Elder Strong Hoof, my good man, this is actually a big fish, guys, grab it, this is the Strong Hoof Elder among our Minotaurs, this holy war is this guy sent someone to pull away the two sheep in my house, damn it!"
As an elder, Strong Hoof is a beast soul warrior himself, but Strong Hoof can't raise the slightest spirit of resistance, because Strong Hoof doesn't know what happened to the people of these tribes, Strong Hoof asked himself that as an elder, he didn't criticize the clansmen, but the raindrop-like fist made Strong Hoof collapse, and his spirit collapsed.
Sass retorted, "Collect your sheep so that you can share the spoils later!"
"Phew, this old bear is not a good thing, let's catch it!" but it was a mouthful of Sass's answer.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the security team is coming!" After a roar, all the orcs got out of the way, and a patrolling team of Mekay Imperial security teams appeared.
"What are you doing?" Strangely, the leader was a rat man, short but wearing a bright armor on his body, with a different momentum.
"They are nobles, and one of them is an elder. The minotaur who set up the stall said.
"Who are you?" To Sas's astonishment, the rat-man actually took out a sheepskin, and then seemed to be writing something.
"Hehe, sir, this is my ID, I am one of the first good residents to get a resident card. The minotaur who set up the stall took out a bronze plaque with some words on it.
"He, he's literate?" Sass grew his mouth, forgetting that he was spitting on his face.
"Silly comparison, there are regulations on the promotion of the chief of the Mekai Empire, like the squad leader of the security team, he must be literate, and the squad leader of the army must be a beast soul warrior who fuses the beast soul!" said a Doug man next to him disdainfully.
Sass didn't get to the ground and asked incredulously, "Literacy?"
"Well, I heard that there are all kinds of training courses within the imperial team, there are literate, military command, etc., and they are free to learn, but I heard that there is an assessment, and once you fail three times, you will be disqualified from learning. Another person explained.
"You heard this from the recruiter!" asked the leader of the nezumi squad with a smile after learning some information about the minotaur who set up the stall, and the two large teeth exposed were particularly shiny.
"Yes, sir!" the few nodded hurriedly.
"Hehe, this bear-man and minotaur, come with us. The nezumi then said to Sath and Stronghoof.
As soon as Sass wanted to resist, the rat man said in a cold voice: "Now the military management implemented in Golden Ring City, once you resist, then I will give an order to kill!"
With the nezumi's words, the rest of the soldiers who had been following behind the nezumi raised their weapons one after another, and to Saas's horror, there were actually several metal crossbows aimed at his vital parts.
"Don't even think about resisting, in the event of a fight, the nearest patrol will arrive within three minutes. The nezumi looked at Sass and then said in a cold voice.
"What's going on!" another voice came.
"Squadron Leader,......。 When the nezumi saw this man, he hurriedly saluted, and then reported it again.
"Hehe, it's really Elder Strong Hoof, Elder Strong Hoof, you'd better follow us obediently, otherwise at least one crime of disturbing the order of society will be enough for you. "This squadron leader is really a minotaur, and he seems to know Elder Stronghoof.
"Are you?" Strixhoof wondered, because the Minotaur only had a few sets of equipment even for himself.
"It doesn't matter who I am, come on, take me!" the squadron leader did not answer Stronghoof's words, and with the Minotaur's roar, two deer men armed with heavy crossbows appeared behind the Minotaur, while a young man in priestly robes stared at Stronghoof and Sass silently.
"Let's go, you're going to be fine. Lina spoke at this point.
When Lina appeared on the street again with Stronghoof and Sas, it was already a few hours later, and Saas asked Lina dissatisfiedly: "We are guests, why do we have to ask for so long?" "Hehe, in the Mekai Empire, every qiē has to come according to the regulations, even if Cook comes in person, it will have to go through so many procedures, in fact, this is mainly because the Golden Ring City has just been won, and there are too many things in various departments, and small things like ours will be put aside first." Lina explained with a smile.
"How is this possible?" exclaimed, Sasse, ignoring the gloomy look on his hoof.
"Hehe, nothing is impossible, in the Mekay Empire, there is no such thing as 'privilege'. Lina said with a smile.
"And if Cook committed a crime?" asked Sass tentatively.
"If the court finds guilty, there is guilt, and Cook once said, 'The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people!'" Lina said meaningfully.
Strong Hoof, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said in a hoarse voice at this time: "I think the Orc Empire is over!"
"Alas!" Saas and Stronghoof had spent an afternoon learning about each other, and finally knew why even the Minotaur himself was eager to be ruled by the Mekay Empire, and the two of them knew the answer to this trip.
