18th century total war

Chapter 30 Looting
"It's just that the fighting quality of the basic line infantry is too low. Based on morale alone, the casualties in the battle are very high. After this battle, the 3000-strong front-line infantry regiment suddenly dropped to more than 1400!

The death rate is more than half!

However, I got 3 honor points in this battle, which means that I can train another 3000 line infantry, and the number of troops under my command will not decrease but increase.

This is only the force provided to me by the total war system on the surface.

I captured the strategically important city of Vannes, not only got a lot of loot and a dozen cannons, but also got a rich and large city, which solved the threat to me from the province of Morbihan.

I could have looted the entire city and recruited poor peasants as soldiers.

I don’t have to use the brainwashed army of the total war system to fight the war. I can also use an army composed of ordinary people.

By the way, I just didn't seem to see the evaluation of the non-brainwashed army in the total war system evaluation panel. "

Li Wei opened the total war system again, and a happy smile gradually appeared on his face.

Because he discovered that when the total war system evaluates the strength of the enemy and us, it only counts the troops that have been brainwashed by the total war system, and does not count other troops under Li Wei's command!
What does this mean?
It shows that even if Li Wei pulls out an army composed of 0 ordinary people to attack the enemy, in the total war system's assessment of the strength of both the enemy and us, it is still [-] against ***!

Of course, Li Wei only took advantage of the force comparison factor. Other factors will still be calculated according to ordinary people's troops. It is impossible for all factors to be 0.

However, in the evaluation of the strength of both the enemy and the enemy in the total war system, the comparison of military strength accounts for the largest proportion, which is close to half!

However, if you want to maintain a large conventional army, you must have a good government system. With Livy's current attitude of going against the grain and conquering the world for aristocratic privileges, even if he raises an army, morale will be pitifully low...

Moreover, Li Wei can't rest assured of the army trained by ordinary people, because the declaration of human rights is too lethal, and Li Wei might as well use a lot of wealth to find mercenaries.

In the current political environment, for Livy, mercenaries fighting for money are the safest.

Otherwise, how could the Kingdom of France destroy the foundation of the aristocratic fiefdoms of the Kingdom of France just because of a declaration of human rights?
This is what people want!
On the second day after the battle ended, the Black Dragon Legion entered the urban area of ​​Vannes without hindrance.

When the Black Dragon Legion entered the city, the city of Vannes had lost its basic order. Those councilors and capitalists were worried about being retaliated by Li Wei, so they all fled with money. All the defeated officers at all levels also fled. The city police department became An empty shell...

Levi didn't mean to use Vannes as a place of foundation at all. There was no other reason. The task target of the total war system was the city of Rennes!

It was impossible for Livy to leave too many troops here in the city of Vannes. His troops were not large. If he divided his troops and stationed them, how could he create a rebellion in the Constituent Assembly?
Li Wei attacked the city of Vannes mainly because the city of Vannes was relatively close to the territory of the Charles family, and it seemed easy to deal with.

Taking down the city of Vannes can also be regarded as a relief from worries.

However, because of this, the whole city of Vannes has a lot of resentment towards Li Wei. Li Wei's soldiers killed a lot of people in the battle yesterday, so the people don't think about the reason why the swords and guns are blind on the battlefield. Knowing that his relatives and friends died under Li Wei's butcher knife!

This is the most direct hatred, and it cannot be resolved by reasoning.

Therefore, if Livi wanted to suppress the city of Vannes, he would definitely need to leave a lot of troops behind, which would even have an impact on his subsequent army expansion plan.

So, Levi simply stopped doing nothing and carried out an inhumane robbery on the city of Vannes!
In Total War games, Levi often plunders cities in the game. This is his first time plundering a real city.

However, Li Wei discovered that it is not very difficult to plunder a provincial capital city. The armed forces in Vannes City were defeated yesterday. shadow.

Only those who have personally experienced the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield know what a rare moment of happiness it is to be alive.

People cherish their lives!

The targets of Li Wei's looting are mainly the bourgeoisie, that is, the houses of the rich, and the middle class, and he has little interest in the poor bourgeoisie.

What do people with tattered clothes expect to have in their homes?
It is estimated that not even one franc of wealth can be found...

Organized looting began to spread in the urban area of ​​Vannes, and at the same time shocked the entire Morbihan province!
Li Wei's brutal and inhumane image has once again broken through.

And Li Wei also sent people to publicly publicize that the municipal council of Vannes was stubborn and insisted on fighting against him, resulting in the death of more than half of his subordinates. This looting is a warning to those who are ready to resist him!
The reason is reasonable, you resisted me and caused me a loss, so if I win the battle, I will naturally grab you!
The fact that there was no massacre of the city in public was already a gesture of goodwill by Mr. Li Wei.

Of course, if there was a massacre of the city in this era, the pressure of public opinion would be too great, and it would be easy for the whole of France to fight against Li Wei. Li Wei was not that unwise.

What's more, what benefit would massacring the city bring to him?
Now Li Wei is fighting a civil war, not a foreign war, and the massacre of the city is digging its own foundation!

No matter how unhappy he was with the trauma that the white-skinned pig had caused to his motherland in his previous life, Levi did not want to commit an unprofitable massacre.

It took less than a day to capture the city of Vannes, but it took Levi a full 10 days to plunder the city of Vannes!
They also hired a group of civilians in nearby towns and towns to transport the proceeds of the looting.

The city of Vannes had just been robbed, and Li Wei would not be so big-hearted as to hire the citizens of Vannes. What's more, Li Wei had no intention of releasing the prisoners captured in this battle. The citizens of Vannes hated Li Wei so much. Everyone on the street knows it.

In the words of the game, Li Wei's favorability in Vannes is negative...

After a battle, Li Wei gained a lot, and left the city of Vannes without hesitation!
Today's citizens of Vannes, even if there is no police and army to maintain law and order, they have nothing to snatch...

All the shops on the street were looted, the boss disappeared, all the machinery and equipment in the factory were taken away, and all the machinery and equipment that could not be taken away were burned to the ground...

Of course, Levi did not forget to pack up the skilled craftsmen from Vannes City. These are all talents!

The goods and talents that Li Wei looted were enough to upgrade Charles town into a real city in a short period of time!
