She Is Not a Witch Chapter 184: The Blooming of the Dryas
After a night of fierce fighting, Gu Nuo City, the capital of Longjiao Province, was finally captured.
Brand-new flags fluttered on the city walls and towers, and the streets still had corpses, shell casings, ashes, debris, and burnt marks from last night.
Compared to the lively scenes in the past, the city is now extremely quiet. Some people dare to go out at will, and most shops are not open for business. Pairs and pairs of eyes are hiding behind the doors and in the gaps in the windows to secretly observe the outside.
Around noon, teams holding flags and official documents appeared on the street. They began to put up notices announcing the future governance policy and the philosophy of the 'Dryer Wood' organization.
In the original Governor's Mansion, Lorraine Hill opened the curtain and opened the window to let in the fresh air from outside, and then turned to look at the various documents on the desk in the study.
Many of them came from the center of the empire, that is, the imperial capital Titania, and some came from the surrounding provinces, regarding the latest intelligence announcements.
'Wanted for remnants of the rebel army from Zishan Province, characterized by...' This document describes the recent suppression of uprisings in the middle of the empire. .
'"Annual Armament Supplementary List"'
‘Notice about suspending the hunt for the descendants of the Baskar family, the goal after that will be to appease the local residents...’
'Autumn recruiting plan, and the allocation of places in each province'
Through these documents, Lorraine Hill can also be considered to understand the plans and ideas of some of the upper echelons of the empire.
It seems that the regent also realized that the current foundation is a bit unstable, and he is going to focus on appeasement, and expand the army to enhance the strength of the royal family.
But although the order was issued, the governor and local military officers below did not fully implement it, and most of them were perfunctory. Many newly promoted military aristocrats also took advantage of this to make money and join forces with local officials.
In fact, this is not surprising. The reason why they joined the army was to be rich. Too much resistance.
In the name of exterminating the remnants of the Baska family, many people began to blackmail and blackmail the original lord, or simply ransacked their homes on charges.
It's no wonder that at the end of last year, when Xia Lanluote ascended to the top, many old aristocratic forces followed and came to vassalize, just because they were also full of anger.
While the girl was sitting at the desk and flipping through the books, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." She looked up and saw a non-commissioned officer standing in front of the door.
"Master Jialan, we have cleared out the remaining enemies in the city and counted the number of casualties."
"Yeah." The girl nodded.
"After last night's battle, a total of 3,346 people from our side participated in the battle, of which 508 were injured and 189 were killed. Now the seriously wounded have been settled in the original city barracks for treatment."
"After the battle, a total of more than 1,200 enemy soldiers were killed, about 2,600 were captured, nearly 7,000 guns, 12 artillery pieces, excluding bullets, and more than 300 sets of elite cuirassier equipment were seized."
"The report is complete."
The results of the battle were very good. Most of the casualties were caused by the enemy's cuirassiers. In the late stage of the battle at the city gate last night, the charge of those elite cavalry brought many sacrifices and serious injuries, and they were rushed to the The Lorraine Hill settlement.
Fortunately, it was night, and the strength of those cavalrymen could not be fully utilized. If they were allowed to charge directly to their own army formation, they might cause a lot of casualties.
These elites carefully crafted by the regent do have the strength commensurate with them.
"Where are those captives being held now?" Thinking of these thousands of captives, Lorraine Hill also had a headache, what should he do.
They must not be released at will. Who knows if they will go to other provinces and continue to join the army, but if they are detained for a long time, not to mention food, a large part of manpower will be consumed, and possible riots must be guarded against.
Originally, the number of soldiers on my own side is limited, and if they are divided out, there will be a shortage.
"Most of them were held in prison cells in the original city, and in the vacant training ground. There were watchtowers and musketeers to suppress them. In addition, a small number of extraordinary elites were locked in dungeons, where there were strong facilities for special use. To prevent the transcendent from escaping."
Well, the nobles still left some useful things in the past.
"Where are Mr. Gowarth and Mr. Rubin?"
"Master Guhuasi is currently reprimanding those unruly officers in the dungeon, and Lord Lubin is inspecting the warehouses in the city and counting supplies."
After listening, the girl nodded and put down the document in her hand.
"Have someone seal this study. Don't touch the things inside, and then take me to the place where the wounded are placed."
"Yes, Lord Jialan." The soldier saluted gratefully.
In the 'Fairywood' organization, everyone knows that this girl from the East is very knowledgeable and a very high-level herbalist and healer. As long as the injuries are not fatal on the spot, most of them can be cured.
After leaving the governor's mansion, Lorraine Hill marched towards the barracks under the **** of a group of soldiers.
A small number of pedestrians began to appear on the street, most of them gathered under the announcement documents, some of them saw Lorraine Hill and others passing by, and looked carefully and curiously.
'Who is this girl? Why is she so protected by these people? Is she some noble person? ’
In addition, a small number of people have heard of the ideas of these rebels before, and at the moment they are excitedly standing under the official document, explaining the content and meaning of the document to the villagers and companions. When many people heard that the land will be redistributed according to family members, many people cheered excitedly.
This is something I have never thought about before. It used to be the private property of the nobles. If farmers want to live, they can only help the nobles to farm to survive. If they have their own fields, what a wonderful way it will be matter.
All of a sudden, there were various cheers on the street, and only then did the locals realize what these people wearing white flower badges represented.
That would be a completely different system from the Empire.
————
Looking at the reactions of the passers-by on the street, Lorraine Hill also felt a little joy in her heart. In fact, she had seen such scenes many times in Clancia, but she still felt a sense of fulfillment.
Finally, what you do is proven to be valuable and meaningful, and it is no longer the kind of personal reverie and self-righteousness.
After the whole afternoon and night, Lorraine Hill treated the wounded soldiers in the barracks, and did not return to the resting place until late at night.
"Eat something, sister Jialan." Iyena came in with the cooked porridge and milk, and put them on the table in the girl's bedroom.
"Why are you here?" Lorraine Hill had just taken a shower, her hair was still a little wet, she was wearing a light-colored nightgown, and she was sitting at the desk looking at the report form.
"I came with Miss Geweier, because the news of the victory in the battle was sent back, we set off with everyone."
"Well, it's time to discuss what to do next." The girl blew on the food in front of her, and then thought about her future plans.
Nowadays, there are many members of the 'Dryer Wood' organization, but there are only 5 high-level committee members with real power, namely the two played by Lorraine Hill, plus Geweier, Lubin, and Gowath.
After this victory, the organization should expand its recruitment again, and the former members are also assigned to various towns to preside over the task of innovation.
Statistics materials, establish organizational structure, redistribute land, guide construction and production, and prepare for future battles.
The light-colored flag is embroidered with pure white petals and bright yellow stamens. This is the symbol of the 'Fairywood' organization.
Riders holding such flags travel through the mountains and fields, spreading exciting news to all directions, bringing a new idea or belief.
Starting with Longjiao Province, the surrounding provinces gradually change color on the map, becoming a country with white flower flags flying, like fairy trees blooming on high mountains, blooming piece by piece, changing the composition of the southern border .
In just one summer and autumn, six provinces in the southern region changed their course and became members of this brand new organization.
Under such rapid expansion, the empire's legions often received new orders halfway, and their goals had changed. While waiting for reinforcements, their provinces fell unconsciously.
With the support of the local residents, the members of the 'Dryer Wood' organization are often in control of the traces of the Imperial Legion~IndoMTL.com~ so that they can quickly avoid the truth, defeat the weak point, and quickly liberate.
Under the reform, the peasants who acquired the land also spontaneously supported such an organization, and had a more tenacious will to resist the rule of the empire, which also made the follow-up suppression like a quagmire, difficult to advance.
Such a grand momentum spread rapidly within the empire. At this time, even a few witches who didn't go out knew where Lorraine Hill was, and that was the distinctive organization in the south.
"So, at this time, how does little Lorraine plan to deal with it?"
In the high tower in the forest, Chrissy sat by the chessboard with her legs crossed, turning the pink and white lollipops in her hand, looking at Tides who was concentrating, and opposite her was the silent Si night.
On the black and white chessboard, three black chess pieces symbolizing the witch have already moved. They are gathered together and lined up in a row. On the opposite side is a white witch chess piece standing alone.
"That's why I said, I should have chosen to increase the support before. Even if it is little Luolan, if one is against three, I am afraid that he will lose."
