Chapter 1550: Unstoppable Rebellion

"The military genius brought Zizhi Tongjian to a different world ()" Find the latest chapter!

A large number of rebels once again appeared in the "original Frankish Empire", and the number of rebels this time was greater than before - this was the latest military report sent to Pendragon.

After learning that a large number of rebels had once again appeared in the east of the empire, Ilsa no longer bothered about Enli's affairs, and quickly sent troops into the "former territory of the Frankish Empire" to quell the rebellion.

According to intelligence, the number and expansion speed of the rebels appearing this time are extremely alarming.

When the letter of request for help from the bureaucrats in the "former Frank Empire" reached Pendragon, rebellions had broken out in four places within the "former Frank Empire", and the total size of the rebel armies in these four places had exceeded Hundreds of thousands, expanding in all directions at the speed of locusts passing through the border.

After the first rebellion broke out in the "former Frankish Empire" and was put down by Enli, Ilsa deployed the 5th Army and the 7th Army of the Knights of Gabriel in the "formerly Frankish Empire" ” to prevent another rebellion in the land.

However, it is impossible for this small number of troops to quell this new rebellion.

Send new troops to the "former territory of the Frankish Empire" - there is no other way.

Ilsa quickly issued a transfer order to the Gabriel Knights closest to the "former Frankish Empire" and mobilized four armies of the Gabriel Knights into the "former Frankish Empire" to launch counter-insurgency operations.

At the same time, the National Imperial Seal Knights in the central government were also ordered to be ready to attack at any time and prepare to fight in the east again.

The 4th Army of the Knights of Gabriel, which entered the "former territory of the Frankish Empire" to conduct counter-insurgency operations, had a very smooth battle at the beginning.

Although the number of rebels was large, due to backward equipment and insufficient training, they were unable to fight back against the Knights of the Britannia Empire.

The counter-rebel forces used a crushing attitude to put down each rebel army one by one - that was how it started.

This smooth war situation only lasted for a while.

The rebels can't stop fighting no matter how hard they fight.

No matter how much you pour out the fire of rebellion, it will never be extinguished.

Just as a new rebel army was put down, a new rebel army appeared in front or behind.

The civilians on this land seemed not to be afraid of death, and they took up weapons one after another to resist the Britannian army.

The rebels fought more and more, and the counter-rebels became more and more tired.

No matter how hard the battle is fought, one rebel army is put down, and more rebels emerge. No matter who it is, they will definitely feel exhausted physically and mentally when faced with such a situation...

Sure enough - the counter-rebel army, which could no longer bear this kind of fatigue, was defeated in a field battle by a coalition of rebels from all walks of life.

Although this defeat did not cause the counter-rebels to suffer too many casualties.

But the impact of this defeat was extremely far-reaching.

Because this was the first time that the Britannian army was defeated by the rebel army.

After this battle, the morale of the rebel army rose sharply. Many civilians were inspired by this victory and joined the rebel army.

For a time, rebellion burned throughout half of the "original Frankish Empire".

After the news of the "defeat of the counter-rebel army" reached Pendragon, Ilsa was so stunned by the bad news that she could not speak for a long time...

…

…

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, General Staff, Conference Room.

In the conference room, the staff headed by Su Cheng gathered together.

The person sitting at the head of the long table is none other than their Majesty Ilsa.

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely heavy.

The reason is that the expression on Ilsa sitting in the main seat is too scary...

Ilsa pursed her lips tightly and had a sullen face.

His face was so dark that it looked as if ink would drip out at any moment...

His whole body exudes an aura that makes people feel "it's better to stay away from her".

It is precisely because of Ilsa,

The atmosphere in the entire conference room became very heavy.

Su Cheng and the other staff members all kept their mouths shut, looking at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.

No one dared to speak out before Ilsa spoke up.

After an unknown amount of time, Ilsa said in a deep voice:

"I called you here today...for no other reason than to ask you one thing - what should we do to put down the rebellion in the east?"

When she said this sentence, Ilsa's tone was extremely calm, and it felt like she was asking an ordinary question.

It's a pity that the question she asked was not a small one at all.

After she finished speaking, all the staff members in the conference room looked at each other.

In the end, it was Su Cheng who took the lead and sighed softly, and then said softly:

"Your Majesty... I think... if you want to quell the war in the east, force alone is not enough..."

"We must address the root causes of the rebels' continued emergence."

"If we don't solve the problem at its source and just send troops to fight against the rebels, no matter how long the fight lasts, it will be impossible to successfully put down the rebellion in the east. The rebels will only fight more and more..."

"So...Captain Cheng." Ilsa said still expressionlessly, "What do you think we should do to put down the rebellion from its roots?"

"Let the lives of the common people in the "former Frank Empire" become happy. "

Su Cheng replied without thinking.

"Your Majesty, these days, I have carefully read every report from the East."

"Most of those who are determined to rebel against our country are basically poor people who can no longer make a living."

"They choose to take up arms to rebel against our country because they are desperate."

"So - as long as we give them a way to survive, they will not make such radical moves again."

"From now on, lower the tax rate of that land and send a large number of officials to appease the people. Over time..."

Before Su Cheng finished speaking, Ilsa interrupted him:

"I don't have so much time to slow down now. Slowly appease them! If we follow your method, I'm afraid it will take a few years for that land to return to peace! "

"Your Majesty..." Su Cheng said patiently, "This method does take a long time, but it is the best method we can use at present."

"...Okay." Ilsa raised her hand with a tired face and rubbed her eyebrows, "Let's do this... I just thought of a method last night. This method can quell the rebellion in the east at a fairly fast speed. You can help me consult and see if my method is feasible. "

Hearing Ilsa's words, Su Cheng raised his eyebrows.

All the staff in the field, including Su Cheng, were interested in Ilsa's words.

Everyone focused their attention on Ilsa and was ready to listen attentively.

Ilsa put down her hand rubbing her eyebrows.

Then--

"We directly killed only half of the people in the "former Frankish Empire". What do you think?"

Said in a calm tone without any emotional color.
