18th century total war

Chapter 228
boom!
Under the brute force of the infantry guards, the wooden door panels of the 18th-century houses were overwhelmed and fell to the ground. The infantry guards who broke through the door did not mean to apologize at all. They looked cold and shouted to the people in the house: " All the people in the house came out and went to the central square to watch the hanging of the revolutionary party.

If you don't come out, you will be dealt with as a revolutionary party! "

After the Guards infantryman finished shouting, he waited a few seconds and shouted again.

Afterwards, an old man and two and a half-year-old children timidly got out. The infantry guards outside did not make things difficult for them, but broke in very violently.

The old man wanted to stop him, but was blocked horizontally by a bayonet-mounted flintlock.

"Old lady, we are carrying out official duties and arresting the revolutionary party in Marseille. According to the confession of the members of the revolutionary committee in Marseille, more than [-]% of the adult males in this city have participated in the fighting.

But don't worry, as long as you don't interfere with our official duties, you and your children can be guaranteed personal safety, otherwise..."

The infantry guard who blocked the old man's way looked at the two and a half older children who were hiding behind the old man with a murderous look on his face.

The infantryman guarding the gate thought that his warning would make the old man give up trying, but unexpectedly, the old man became even crazier and reached out to grab the barrel of the gun that blocked her.

"Do not!

You can't do this!
My son is just an ordinary worker, he didn't fight, don't..."

With a bang, the old man was knocked to the ground by a left hook from the infantry guards, and then pointed his gun at the old lady who fell on the ground, and warned for the last time:

"If you continue to obstruct official duties, not only will you die, but the two children beside you will also be executed according to law!

We are only arresting war criminals, and all those who fight against the great black dragon army should be punished as they should.

But don't worry, we won't kill people indiscriminately, as long as he doesn't resist, we are only responsible for sending your son to a labor camp. "

After hearing the last sentence, the old lady with bleeding from the corner of her mouth finally gave up struggling, embraced her child, and slowly stood up with the support of the two children.

This old lady looks very old, but in fact she is only in her 50s!

Soon, there were begging sounds in the room, and a man in his early 30s and a rough-looking middle-aged woman were dragged out by the infantrymen who entered the house.

"Don't hurt my wife, I am willing to go with you, I am willing to bear the mistakes I have made, and I am willing to accept the labor reform of the labor agency..."

The man in his early thirties who was picked out knelt down in front of the infantry guards with a plop, protecting his wife behind him, and begged while crying.

Fortunately, this man's attitude was more 'sincere', and the infantry guards did not embarrass him, arresting a young laborer was far more valuable than arresting an unattractive 'old woman' who was the mother of two children.

The middle-aged man was led to the temporary gathering place by a guard infantry, and the other guard infantry continued to walk towards the next house, while the middle-aged woman who was left hugged the old man and cried.

"Nalita!

Take good care of my mother, and I will definitely come back alive! "

The man in his early 30s who was taken away looked at his family for the last time before leaving, shouted hoarsely, and was pushed hard by the infantrymen.

The infantry guards need to hurry up to do the task!
When the old man saw the infantrymen walking away, the sadness in his eyes suddenly turned into deep hatred.

"Damn Levi's rebels, God will definitely punish you. Thunder from heaven will kill the devil Levi!"

"Mother, do we still have to go to the downtown square?"

After hearing this sentence, the old man sighed helplessly, stood up, led his daughter-in-law and two children, and walked towards the central square in a staggering step.

She dared not go.

Even if her husband and two sons died at the hands of the Black Dragon Legion, and the last son had just been taken away, in order to survive, she could only choose to submit.

The streets were full of old, weak, women, children, and children who had just been kicked out of their homes. All the young men in Marseille, whether they had participated in the battle or not, were forcibly taken away by the infantry guards.

The reason is very simple. In this battle to capture Marseilles, the Black Dragon Legion lost more than 1200 guard infantry, which was regarded by Karl as a shame!

Because the city of Marseille that he led to attack, the so-called [-] defenders, most of them are militia-level armed forces and paramilitary armed forces, and these people alone would cause such 'huge' casualties to themselves.

Even in the eyes of the outside world, the Black Dragon Legion, with more than 2 troops, attacked a city of Marseilles with 200 soldiers who were united to defend their hometown. They could end the battle in one day and one night, and only lost more than [-] people. The glorious history of France, but in Karl's eyes, this is still a disgrace to the Black Dragon Legion.

There is only one reason, the one standing in front of the Black Dragon Legion is not a regular army!

As long as it is not a regular army, no matter how many people there are, they should be scum that can be easily defeated by Karl.

Karl was annoyed by the revolutionary will of the defenders in Marseille or the increase in combat effectiveness brought about by the bloody feud, so there was this city-wide arrest operation.

A family of four who had just lost their husband and son instinctively stayed away from the infantry guard standing at the door when they passed by a residential house.

However, before they could leave, an angry roar suddenly came from the room.

"You Li Wei's lackey butchers, I will fight with you!"

Bang, bang!

After three gunshots, the roar stopped abruptly. Not long after, a bloody corpse of a young man from Marseilles was dragged out, and the infantry guards escorted out three children and a disheveled woman.

A total of four people, one girl and three children, were pinned down in the corner of the street by the Guards Infantrymen who were equal in number to them. One of the Guards Infantrymen shouted loudly to the people passing by:
"Revolutionary rebels who do not want to surrender, all arrested immediate family members will be shot on the spot!"

As soon as the words fell, the four infantrymen pointed their guns at the woman and three children in the corner, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

One of the children was not hit critically, and the infantry guards stepped forward and aimed a bayonet at his heart...

The bloody scene left passers-by and neighbors stunned.

Many parents quickly covered their children's eyes, but the eyes of the covered children were full of numbness and fear.

They seem to have become accustomed to such a brutal war environment and terrifying foreign troops.

This typical case immediately made people in the surrounding houses dare not make the slightest resistance, and obediently handed over the adult men in the family, while other old and weak women and children followed the flow of people to the central square designated by the infantry guards.

A battle to defend the city of Marseilles has caused the population of Marseilles to drop sharply. Some died in the battle and some fled. There are not many people left.

However, the infantry guards did not insist on visiting the hanging in the central square, and many citizens of Marseilles who went out turned back and were not stopped or made things difficult by the infantry guards.

The infantry guards are just performing their missions, and they don't care about things other than their missions.

Among them, one thing makes the citizens of Marseille feel incredible.

When the infantry guards entered the houses to search, they saw those young and beautiful Maasai girls, and they did not act extraordinarily at all.

In the eyes of the infantry guards, a young girl in her twenties and eight years is treated exactly like an old lady...

This made the citizens of Marseilles feel relieved.

It was the only good news they got.

However, a small group of people in Marseilles not only were not captured by the infantry guards as adult males, but were given preferential treatment and formed a new temporary city government of Marseilles.

The vast majority of this small group of people are intellectuals and capitalist celebrities in Marseille and the surrounding towns.

Those who have a good reputation in Marseille, as long as they have not invested in the arms of the Revolutionary Committee and are willing to join the Li Wei regime, will receive preferential treatment and help Karl restore the production and commerce of Marseille and surrounding towns.

As the second largest city in France, Marseille is also a crucial large port city. It is naturally impossible for Li Wei to allow Marseille to accept military control for a long time.

The Black Dragon Legion's level of fighting is top-notch, but the level of management is basically only killing...

Therefore, the refuge of these so-called Marseille celebrities has extremely important transitional significance for the Li Wei regime.

As a matter of course, the relatives and friends of this small group of people have also been protected by the Black Dragon Legion.

The real sufferers in Marseille are actually the revolutionaries in Marseille and the families of ordinary citizens who were coerced by the revolutionaries.

This time, the battle of Marseilles reached a rare level of victory in Li Wei's total war system campaign evaluation. Li Wei got 5 glory points and 1 building point.

This "complete victory" evaluation is not a combination of multiple related battles, but a single battle evaluation of the offensive and defensive battle of Marseille.

For Li Wei, it is relatively rare for a single battle to reach the level of 'complete victory'.

Under the continuous sitting system of the infantry guards, the last blood and courage of the residents of Marseilles who were broken into their houses evaporated.

The armed citizens of Marseilles who escaped and did not die on the battlefield were relatively timid people, so they naturally would not bring their whole family to fight the Black Dragon Army.

Even after many families in Marseille saw the brutal methods of the Black Dragon Army, the adult males in the family took the initiative to say goodbye to their families and came out. Sometimes two infantry guards could escort dozens of adult male citizens of Marseille to the custody point .

If the infantry guards encountered an unoccupied house, they would break through the door and loot the valuables inside.

In the eyes of the citizens of Marseille, this is the normal behavior of foreign invaders.

However, what the citizens of Marseilles don't know is that the infantry guards won't put a single copper coin in their pockets, and all of them will be handed over as reserve military expenses for the Black Dragon Army.

The houses that have been looted will be sealed by the infantry guards, which means that the property is already owned by the government, and will be distributed to the soldiers of the garrison as a reward, or simply sold to return the funds.

Of course, those who tried to resist were killed and their properties were confiscated in the same way.

There is no need to go through any legal channels, and any real estate that is unoccupied at this time will be included in government property.

Even if the original owner came back, it would be difficult to get it back through legal channels, unless it was a celebrity or a real rich person who would have the opportunity to get his property back from the government.

The premise is that they pay the due price.

The reason for this is that Karl believes that those who left the city after the Battle of Marseille, if they are not outsiders, must be revolutionary rebels, and the confiscation of the fixed property of the revolutionary rebellion is justified!

Although many Marseille citizens returned to their homes and did not go to the central square to watch the hanging of members of the Marseille Revolutionary Committee, the central square of Marseille was still surrounded by a large number of old, weak, women and children.

At a glance, there are densely packed human heads.

Of course, Karl had already made security preparations. The execution platform was full of infantry guards holding bayonets and flintlock guns, and there were layers of infantry guards on the periphery, as well as infantry guards on mobile patrols.

The most important thing is that almost all the citizens of Marseille who came to watch are old, weak, women and children. How big a wave can these people make?
The purpose of this public hanging was to kill the revolutionary arrogance of Marseille. As the second largest revolutionary city recognized in France, Karl hoped to use this opportunity to thoroughly dig out the roots of the revolutionary masses in Marseille.

As for the prisoners who were about to be tortured on the gallows, they were all members of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee of Marseille who were caught while escaping, or they wanted to die with the Black Dragon Legion, but their fighting skills were not strong enough. An enemy was not killed but was captured alive. ...

Although the members of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee of Marseille may not all be rich, they are all well-known figures in Marseille, also known as politicians.

Since the Marseille Municipal Revolutionary Committee has not been established for a long time, many of the politicians in the Marseille Municipal Revolutionary Committee are relatively pure, and they have not been contaminated by politicians playing right and wrong. They are intellectuals who are truly revolutionary!

When Marseille was about to fall, nearly one-third of the members of the Marseille Municipal Revolutionary Committee were willing to take up arms to resist, which is the best proof.

When a leader sitting in an office is willing to take up arms and go to the front line to fight against the enemy, any stain on him is enough to erase!
It's a pity that most of the arrested Marseille Municipal Revolutionary Committee members were caught on the way to escape...

The only way through the ages is to die.

Prisoners wearing face-covering hoods were led to the gallows with their hands tied behind their backs. When the hoods were pulled off, the onlookers below burst into exclamations.

Because the open mouths of these prisoners are full of broken tongues!
