Section 46: Squadron

As the two divisions of the Fifth Legion completed the rest and entered the battle on the peninsula, the entire Indochina Peninsula was in a panic. Yada City, the capital of the Principal of Sulawesi, became a paradise for mobs overnight. With the evacuation of the government, army, nobles and wealthy people, Yada City immediately fell into anarchy. The poor urban people who got the opportunity wandered in groups in Yada City, looting everything that could be seized in the city, women, money, treasures, and food. The red-eyed mobs held various weapons and set fire to kill them everywhere. The thick smoke rolled up in the city could be seen clearly even dozens of miles away.

Shanyao's Third Division was still the first to enter the fortification city of Yada City as a pioneer. The mobs immediately became the best targets for Gao Yue's soldiers. Gao Yue's soldiers who entered the city from two directions killed dozens of mob gangs that took the opportunity to plunder the * in one breath. The mob's head hung from the north gate to the south gate. In just one night, Yada City recovered from a chaotic paradise to a quiet and beautiful city, but this quiet beauty was a little desolate. The messy debris and bloodstains on the streets and a ferocious head formed a strange painting scene.

The sound of horse hooves seemed particularly crisp on the streets in Yada City. Mulige frowned and looked at the surroundings. He could clearly see the flashing eyes in the closed doors and windows on both sides of the road. In the empty streets, except for the soldiers guarding every ten meters, there were steel soldiers advancing forward.

"Shan Yao, what good things did he do? Where did the people in the city go? Have they all fled to the south?" Mulige couldn't help but gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly. His voice was so low that only another officer who was riding his horse with him side by side could hear it.

"Haha, Lord Mu, don't blame General Shan Yao too much. This Yada City has never had much contact with the world in our empire, and the nobles and gentry and most of the merchants have fled to the south. Most of the people who are left behind are small vendors, handicraftsmen and urban poor. They don't know much about the empire, so it's not surprising that this phenomenon occurs. As for the heads hanging on this city wall, they must be owned by those mobs who took advantage of the situation. They deserve it. I believe that the citizens in Yada City also hate them to the core, but they don't know us now, so they will behave like this." While looking at the surrounding situation, the old man observed the surrounding houses with interest.

"Brother Wen, you also know that this time we are entering the Peninsula Alliance. We all know the intention of Your Highness. If this makes the people lose all their hearts, I am afraid you and I will not be able to take it." Mulige twitched the corner of his mouth and said hatefully, "Mob riots are inevitable when the regime changes in every city. As a division commander, Shan Yao should have this sensitivity and forward-lookingness. He has to wait until the chaos of the mob is out of control before he can solve the problem with violent suppression. What is the benefit of this? Don't think that I don't know that he intends to slow down into the city, so as to take the opportunity to kill people and relieve fire, and win some honors for his troops."

"Hehe, Lord Mu, I think you have too high requirements for your old subordinates, right? But in my opinion, maybe Shan Yao's method can better win the hearts of the people for us." The old man glanced around and lowered his voice.

"Oh. How do you say this?" Mulige became interested when he heard this.

"Mr. Mu, you may not know much about the countries of the Peninsula Alliance. The ethnic composition here is relatively complex, and each nation cannot have an absolute advantage in the country. This has caused the relationship between the city-states of the Peninsula Alliance and the city-states of the Peninsula Alliance and are full of vigilance. The close relationship is because each nation is distributed in various countries. Due to ethnic and religious reasons, they have a natural psychological intimacy, but only one nation has a certain advantage in each country. This has caused vigilance between the city-states of various countries. They all need to prevent the idea of ​​the nation that is dominant in the other country in their own country. Therefore, this has also led to the fact that the relationship between the nations is not harmonious, but in foreign relations, they have a considerable sense of crisis. After all, the Pasha Kingdom, which they have been swallowing and eroding in the west, made them realize that the way out is to be done without uniting."

After a pause, Winna continued to introduce: "The Principality of Sulawesi is mainly Lai and Wa tribes. There are also considerable Shan tribes. The Wa tribe accounts for the largest population, about 45%, and the Lai tribe accounts for about 30%, and the Shan tribe accounts for about 20%, and the other tribes together account for 15%. In theory, the Principality of Sulawesi should be the most powerful Wa tribe, but on the contrary, since the upper class of the country, including the Grand Duke, has always been the Lai tribe since its founding, and most of the middle and upper nobles are Lai tribes, so in fact, the Principality of Sulawesi has always controlled the power of the state, while the Wa tribe with the largest population has always been in the lower class of the country. This is also the largest politics of the Principality of Sulawesi

On the issue of governance, the relationship between the two tribes has always been inconsistent, but the Lai tribe has always controlled the entire regime and army since its founding, and the Wa tribe has no choice but to do anything about it. This time the Lai tribe's forces collapsed in Yada City. The one who took the opportunity to cause trouble must be the lower Wa mob. Shan Yao was able to take this opportunity to establish his authority with bloody means. On the one hand, he could suppress the Wa tribe who attempted to replace it, on the other hand, Vanading the people's hearts of other ethnic groups that have always belonged to the Lai tribe's faction, and thirdly, he could also tell the Lai tribe that our Western Xinjiang army is equal in dealing with ethnic issues and treats them equally in the face of the law. The most important point is that we can establish a relatively delicate balance among the Sulawesi tribes, which is most beneficial to our next step."

Mulige had to admire the shrewdness and aging of the old fox, Wen Na. Although he was confident that he would never lose to the other party in military affairs, he was ashamed of his own in politics. It should be said that the situation that Wen Na had just imagined was also the scene that His Highness was most willing to see. Being able to use the union between the various ethnic groups to control the entire Sulawesi Principality, which is the method that His Highness admires the most.

Seeing Mulige's smile and nodding repeatedly, Wenna knew that his words had won the other party's approval. He immediately added: "But Lord Mu, there is one thing we need to pay attention to. Although these ethnic groups in the Peninsula Alliance countries have a slack military preparation, they have always respected and admired the strong in terms of national characteristics. Fortunately, they have been admiring the Tang civilization for a long time. But in my opinion, we still need a complete victory or a great victory to show them our powerful force. Only in this way can they truly be convinced."

Nodding thoughtfully, Mulige had already made a decision when talking about military affairs, "Brother Wen said it well. Now the peninsula coalition forces have retreated to the southern city of Kutterdam. And according to the intelligence reality, Medan and Bali have parted ways with the other countries and city-states. This is a good opportunity for us. The four city-states that support the coalition are probably the main ones, especially Moro and East Samoa. They attempt to resist us with a strong city in Kutterdam, but they seem to have forgotten one thing. We can completely get rid of Kutterdam, go south from Medan and Baliya, and directly attack the local areas of several city-states. I want to see how they deal with it."

"Master Mu, they didn't forget this. We want to go south. The best way is naturally to go through Medan. In addition to the northern capital, the other areas in the Duchy of Bali are mostly mountainous. The transportation is inconvenient and the march is difficult. We can only take down Medan to enter several city-states freely. However, there are also strong cities to defend in Medan, and the Medan people also have considerable military strength. They probably hope that the Medan people can successfully drag us on a period of time. When the war in the Central Continent ends, their main army can quickly return to the local land to meet us." Wenna also laughed. He and Mulige knew what the coalition forces were thinking, but will the Pasha people easily truce together in the eastern part of the Peninsula Alliance? Anyone should think of this, but many things cannot be calculated according to common sense.

"Well, Brother Wen, you don't have to defend Shan Yao too much. He can't have such far-reaching political significance. In his eyes, it is probably that he can use bloody means to suppress the people in Yada City so that he can do his best." Mulige's words could not conceal his love for Shan Yao. After all, he was a general who was brought out by himself. Although he was no longer his direct army, Mulige still subconsciously regarded him as his nephew.

"Haha, the Third Division's strict military discipline is a model among Gao Yue's soldiers. How could General Shanyao dare to corrupt the iron rules set by Lord Mu?" Wenna also intended to compliment, and said: "I don't know Lord Mu's next plan•;•;•;•;??"
