18th century total war

Chapter 195 French Civil War

The Catalan Legion first announced the crimes of Carlos IV in Madrid, and then announced that Carlos IV's crimes required his people to pay for them.

Then, the soldiers of the Catalan Legion knocked on the door of every house in Madrid in batches and went in to forcibly collect the 'war compensation'.

No matter how rich or poor, they could not escape the looting of the soldiers of the Catalan Legion. Even because the Catalan Legion was established for a short time, the discipline in the army was not very strong. scandal.

Of course, this scandal was not spread by the newspapers, because all the news agencies in Madrid were forcibly closed and controlled, and the whole city fell into mourning.

A few days later, this organized and planned looting began to spread to other towns outside Madrid.

The King of Madrid fled with his troops in the First World War, which had too bad an impact. The Black Dragon Legion conquered the province of Madrid without any effort, and now all of them fell into the hands of the Catalan Legion.

These low-level soldiers in Catalonia did not expect that one day they would be able to step on the heads of the citizens of the capital and do their best.

You must know that the Catalans have always been at the bottom of the discrimination chain in the Kingdom of Spain, and the citizens of the capital of Madrid are at the top of the discrimination chain.

Of course, this chain of discrimination refers to the civilian class.

The Catalan soldiers who were once scorned by the citizens of the capital of Madrid as the rustic old men began to plunder their property and food with impunity, and even dragged the wives and daughters of the citizens of the capital into the house, forcibly...

During this process, as long as the citizens of the capital of Madrid resist a little, they will be shot dead on the spot. When encountering that kind of bad-character Catalan soldiers, they will not even be killed at once, but will be killed with all kinds of unimaginable methods. way, slowly tortured to death!

As for forcing that daughter in front of her father, or that wife in front of her husband, it is even more commonplace. The entire capital of Madrid is full of scenes that are not suitable for children...

This kind of situation will inevitably happen during the execution of the looting order, and only the Black Dragon Legion, which is not a complete human being, can maintain strict military discipline and looting.

Li Wei let the Catalan Legion be responsible for the looting, which actually exacerbated the pain of the people of Madrid. If the Black Dragon Legion did it, at least these soldiers who had no desire would not touch the woman.

The soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion can only kill, but they will not humiliate others.

Of course, Li Wei didn't know about the tragedy that happened in Madrid. He only knew that his political goal had been achieved!
In the future, the people in Spain and even Carlos IV will definitely regard the Catalans as thorns in their eyes. This is bloody ethnic hatred!

Regional hostility was established so easily.

This is very detrimental to the future of the Kingdom of Catalonia, but the king and the cabinet of the Kingdom of Catalonia are all loyalists of Li Wei, and such unfavorable remarks have not been fermented before they are suppressed.

After all, the benefits are right in front of us. This looting not only made the Black Dragon Army a fortune, but the Kingdom of Catalonia also greatly eased the financial pressure in the early days of the founding of the country. Even many officers and generals on the front line saw the benefits of the looting and kept their faces The beginning of the expansion of the looting area.

Spread from the province of Madrid to other occupied northern Spanish municipalities.

And the top management of the Kingdom of Catalonia turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, which intensified this trend of robbery!
Every day, a large number of small carts transporting various foods and supplies return to Barcelona, ​​and then use Barcelona as a transit point to disperse into Catalonia.

The citizens of Barcelona and even the people of the entire Catalonia region are cheering for the king of Aragon.

The people at the bottom don't understand the future prospects at all. The people are short-sighted groups. Even if there are some smart people among them, they will be coerced by the voice of the people. To be alone...

It is not difficult to understand why people are often regarded as ignorant.

Not all people are ignorant, but the minority has to obey the ignorance of the majority.

Even in the 21st century, this kind of phenomenon is not uncommon. For example, if there is a saying on the Internet that something can prevent the crisis of infection, this thing or medicine will be sold out of stock immediately...

Even if the official comes out to clarify, there are still many people who feel that what they are doing is correct!

Even in a civilized society where universal education is compulsory, there will be superstitions such as wifi signals affecting children and the elderly. There are quite a few people who believe it, and they have reached the point where they are against the government!

The ignorance that cannot be avoided even in the 21st century, let alone in the 18th century.

The Aragonese government simply carried out propaganda and described the tragedy in Madrid and other suffering towns as a great victory for the Catalans!

It has to be said that Aragon's propaganda can be regarded as a mistaken addition to the nationalist rhetoric of later generations.

Li Wei's coquettish operation gave the Anti-French Alliance a headache, and the mess left behind could only be dealt with by Carlos IV.

Fortunately, the Black Dragon Legion finally retreated.

Carlos IV, who 'victory' completed the feat of moving the capital, began to send people to various provinces and autonomous regions to contact various armies.

The Black Dragon Legion is gone, everyone should have the confidence to fight back!

Needless to say, the reason given by the Carlos IV government immediately convinced the vast majority of Spanish local dignitaries, the national military forces of the Kingdom of Spain, and finally began to cooperate sincerely, converging towards the strategic location designated by Carlos IV, and preparing to Conquer the Madrid area.

As soon as the Black Dragon Legion withdrew from Spain, the morale of the Spanish army was back to full!
The Catalan army was not taken seriously by the Spanish senior officials at all.

On the Spanish high-level side, the Catalan army is stronger than the bandits.

It takes time to assemble the army and prepare materials. The Spanish Civil War has not yet begun, but the French Civil War has reached a fever pitch!

In a team that was marching towards the front line in the marching army of Ander Province, a blond, blue-eyed, handsome and curious young soldier chatted with the officer beside him about the revolutionary righteousness while walking.

"Sir, can you tell me what liberty, equality, and fraternity really mean?"

"Yo, Daniel, you don't understand the meaning of freedom, equality and fraternity, why are you willing to take the initiative to join the National Salvation Revolutionary Army?"

The second lieutenant was not angry either. The gap between officers and soldiers in the National Salvation Revolutionary Army who also came from civilians was much smaller than in the former Kingdom of France.
