Chapter 470

Su Lun's eyes fell on a figure in the corner of the hall. The man nodded slightly at Su Lun. He is the governor of the royal guards appointed by Su Lun. After system strengthening, the ability of these royal guards is much better than their counterparts in the Ming Dynasty.

Many other places say that now a large number of spies are installed in the noble families and even many businessmen's homes in the whole city of San ferto, and their identities are also different, from housekeeper, coachman, guard, maid and so on.

Since his accession to the throne, Su Lun has been cracking down on these nobles step by step. Although on the surface, Su Lun has flattened all the prickles, and the rest are honest, in fact, he doesn't think these nobles will keep their own. There is a saying that blocking people's money is like killing their parents. Su Lun is not just a matter of money, Even power has been suppressed for the most part.

These nobles are just forced by Su Lun's fierce power. They all behave like honest people and animals are harmless. In fact, as long as Su Lun shows his weak side, these nobles will immediately become tigers that eat people and don't spit bones. Suellen was well aware of the cruelty of these people, so he never relaxed his surveillance of these people.

Although he was not familiar with political struggle, he had seen so many TV dramas in his previous life, and there were many lessons from the past. The most famous example was Emperor Chongzhen, who was fooled and lame. He directly abandoned the royal guards and cut off his ears and eyes. As a result, he had to hang the southeast branch on the coal mountain.

During this time, after a large amount of intelligence collection and summary by the royal guards, Su Lun found that the reason why the southern rebels had the courage to attack Su Lun was because of a private transaction between these nobles in the north and those nobles in the south.

Their purpose is very simple, that is, to transfer all the elite troops near the city of San ferto to to fight the southern rebels, and then these nobles who have been accumulating strength carry out back stabbing and counter attack.

Although it's risky, there's no chance if you don't do it again. With sulun attacking the nobility, wooing the civilians, distributing cultivated land and unifying the tax system, the life of the bottom people is getting better and better. Over time, the civilians who get benefits will support sulun more and more. It's more and more difficult to overthrow him, and this is done on the premise of damaging their interests, Suellen was surprised that these nobles could endure such a long time to retaliate.

These nobles have long lost the grace of their ancestors. For such a major event of rebellion, strict confidentiality is the first priority, but what about them? These nobles just secretly held meetings and discussions and covered them up with noble dances. They thought they had avoided Su Lun's eyes and ears, but they didn't know that all these things had long fallen into the eyes of the royal guards who paid close attention to these people.

There is no doubt that the matters discussed by these people that day were sorted out and sent to Su Lun's study in the evening. As for the southern nobles, the royal guards are not well staffed, so they can't collect too confidential information.

Su Lun has been looking for opportunities to weaken the strength of those nobles, but he hasn't had a good excuse all the time. Now these nobles finally take the initiative. He didn't put these things out before the incident, but pushed the boat along the water to help them.

As the leading actor and director of the play, Su Lun is still very happy to cooperate with the acting, but his appearance fee is a little expensive.

After hearing that Su Lun decided to take the army out in person, many nobles in the hall flashed a surprised look in their eyes. Their original intention was just to destroy Su Lun's army. Unexpectedly, Su Lun went in person this time. In this case, it would be solved together. As for the loss, they only looked at the southern nobles.

The army recruited by San ferto city was taken away by Su Lun, and the soldiers he brought from the north city of the town were also taken away. Only 6000 people were left to guard the city, and the defense of the whole royal city became empty. Of course, when Su Lun decided, some officials objected that this would create the emptiness of the Royal City, and more nobles should be convened to form an aristocratic army.

But this proposal was directly rejected by him. If the city of San filto is not empty, how can we let those people do things and bury them all? The stage has been set up for you. Now I'll send you supporting actors to start.

There are many things that the army needs to do when it goes to the north city of qianzhen. When the army is small, a team of hundreds of people can go to battle soon. Now there is a large army of 25000 people in San ferto city. In addition, the number of civilian men and 50000 troops is no less than that of the regular army. The daily consumption is only a large number.

By the time of the official expedition, it was already a month later, and 50000 troops marched to the south of the kingdom of Florence.

The army went all the way south. About half a month later, sulun entered the territory of the southern aristocrats, and the war officially began at this moment.

"Your majesty!"

Kent came forward and saluted: "these southern rebels have never had the intention to fight a decisive battle with us. They just keep fighting and fighting back. It seems that they have been tempting our army to go deep!"

At this time, Su Lun naturally wouldn't hide from his opponent, nodded and said, "I know these people are really luring the enemy in depth!"

"But what they didn't expect was that it was not a fat sheep that lured them, but a giant dragon!"

"Your Majesty, if we continue to go deeper, the logistics supplies of these 50000 troops will not keep up." Kent said reluctantly, "those rebels have strong walls and clear fields. We haven't raised a grain here in the south, and the grain in the cities they abandoned has been transported away... Or we..."

Su Lun understood what he meant, that is, he directly plundered the civilians in the city. Those civilians still had some food in their hands, but once he did so, in the end, even if he defeated the southern rebels, he would only get thousands of miles of ruins.

So he's just trying so hard to get a dilapidated territory? Suellen doesn't want a devastated Florentine kingdom. What he wanted was a rich south.

Su Lun said solemnly, "don't loot! Don't worry about logistics. Someone will deliver it soon!"

"Yes, your majesty!" Kent immediately stood up straight and said when he saw Suellen's stern expression.

Su Lun nodded with satisfaction: "do you think these southern rebels will hold up like this? Hey, it's easy to say. How much damage does it need to cause? Do you think those rebels can bear it?"

Looking at the other generals in the camp, Su Lun smiled and explained: "These southern provinces have developed businesses and often rely on commerce. Do you think those caravans dare to do business when we start a war like this? In addition, the strong walls and clear fields, the food, bridges, water wells and even the trees close to the city will be destroyed, and the villages will migrate. This kind of destruction is enough to hurt them."

For those greedy nobles, the short-term loss of profits is acceptable, but it is for the sake of rich profits. However, once too much capital is invested, these short-sighted nobles will not accept it, so the southern rebels won't last long.

Many generals around them immediately cast admiring eyes and continuously flattered, and the nobles who took refuge in sulun began to boast shamelessly.

"Your Majesty is brilliant and powerful. There is no match in the world. The rebellion of a petty thief will be destroyed at the flick of his finger!"

"Your Majesty is indeed your majesty. We can't compare with ordinary people. We can see through the reality of those traitors at a glance!"

Su Lun shook his head. "It's just that I observed more carefully. It's no big deal!" although he said so, he felt really good to be praised.

So, it's easy to be a king for a long time. Only a good man like sulun who can see his true heart can remain unmoved.

......

Sulun, the southern rebel seducer, kept going south. Sulun pretended that he didn't find anything and cooperated very well. He even deliberately assigned some soldiers to take over the city and deliberately weakened his strength. When it was two thousand miles away from San ferto, those people in the King City finally couldn't help but start fighting.

After entering the southern territory, a baggage team transporting grain and grass was attacked by Southern rebel cavalry on the way. The baggage team was the hands of those aristocrats. Naturally, it dispersed in a mass. What can be taken away and what can not be taken away will be burned.

Naturally, the news of the destruction of logistics was transmitted back at the first time, and then the King City would organize a new batch of materials to transport them. However, a batch of logistics materials had just been transported at this time, and the new logistics materials were still in preparation and could not be dispatched in a short time.

There have been problems in a series of things, such as the collection of civilian husbands, the collection of vehicles, the collection of grain and grass, and so on. Those left behind nobles began to prevaricate with each other and look for various reasons to delay time. Although Phyllis has handled the government affairs for a period of time, she also has a headache in the face of the cooperation of these old foxes. If there is enough time, she can deal with them one by one, but now The situation was urgent and she was not given time to deal with it.

As the minister who stayed to assist Phyllis, Rex immediately realized that there were not many things. As an old fox who had been an official for 30 years, he was naturally familiar with this trick. In the past, there were only one or two links at most. There was no such problem in every link.

"Your Majesty, it's the cooperation of those nobles!" Rex found Felix for the first time.

"Your Majesty is out now. If there are logistics problems, the consequences will be unimaginable at that time!"

Phyllis frowned. "Sir Rex, do you have any good ideas?"

"There's a way, but the time is too urgent. It's likely to miss..."

"Don't care so much first, solve it quickly..."

"Your Majesty, the royal guards want to see you." just then, a bodyguard hurried over and said.
