Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

They can't even get sawdust to eat. Do you really want to see people starve to death here? Such an undignified way to die..."

The Gaul Emperor thought more deeply than anyone else on the battlefield. The situation in the city had now reached a point where it could not be delayed.

There is really no need to cling to so-called dignity.

The will of Gaul will not completely disappear because of the destruction of the country. As long as people are still alive, the future will have infinite possibilities.

The leader of Utopia is also a hero, how could he let his guard down like that?

The other party must have made all the necessary preparations and is not afraid of the so-called ambush at all.

With Utopia's almost weird recovery ability, even if an ambush is made, it is not certain that it can be killed. Once it fails, only death will await this city.

So the Gaul emperor made a crazy move. Early the next morning, he drove all the high-speed warships out of the city and gave them to Utopia to show his submission.

Huang Cao was overjoyed and took in all the scrap metal, while making his attitude clear to all the residents in the city.

Anyway, these high-speed warships have been damaged by our side, so it is better to rebuild them.

Dozens of ministers sat on the throne and knelt on one knee, expressing their determination to live and die with Gaul.

In fact, when the war just started, there were still more than fifty high-ranking ministers in the city of Lingones.

Later, seeing that the situation was irreversible, one day, these fence-sitters walked out of the besieged Lingongs with their families and wanted to surrender to Master Huang.

However, Huang Cao beheaded all these nobles without any bones and displayed their heads to the public, and shot their bodies into the city with huge crossbows.

This practice won the admiration of many Lingones residents and was at least very consistent with the Gallic spirit of chivalry.

"It seems that this emperor is not incompetent, but he has some problems with his decision-making on major issues."

The Gallic emperor's surrender was very well written. He frankly admitted his failure and prayed that the utopia would treat its people well.

The winner takes all, there is nothing much to say.

At the same time, he was willing to transfer his throne to the leader of Utopia and give it a normal succession process, which at least on the surface was completely in line with Gaul's procedural justice.

Emperor of Gaul: Anyway, as long as it is not passed on to the Victorians, everything will be fine.

"Pass on my order, enter the city in seven days!"

The Gaul Emperor also received the document from Mr. Huang responding to the surrender that evening.

"I have received your surrender letter, but I want a loyal Gaul, not a country that only knows how to drag its feet. I believe that you, who are considered wise and brave by ordinary people, should know what to do."

If anything unusual happens when we enter the city, I will let you know what true cruelty is.

This is a threat, but also a guarantee of utopia.

As long as Gaul doesn't do anything stupid, Huangcao is willing to give this magnificent empire a decent exit.

Chapter 245 The Gaul capital surrenders!

Seven days passed in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, the day came when the Gallic emperor opened the city gates.

On this day all the residents gathered at the city gates, ready to face the defeat of their country.

This day was also the last time the Gaul flag was raised, after which it was replaced with the flag of Utopia.

Corsica and all her subjects knelt on one knee, ready to welcome their new king.

Everyone was hungry, but no one dared to look up.

Almost a few minutes after the capital's gate was opened, Huang Cao, wearing golden armor, sat on a huge mobility machine, looking very majestic.

The rich warriors next to them were wearing armor and holding weapons, and were equally brave.

Destroying a city, seizing a country, and competing for the world, this is the romance of many men.

But at the same time, the city is facing a crisis, a crisis called hunger.

The Gaul emperor did not play any tricks, but instead put the fate of the entire city in Huang Cao's hands.

How much courage does this take?

If Huangcao had displayed Victoria's inhuman spirit, the country of Gaul would have had to regard Corsica as the pillar of shame in the history of the entire country.

It’s a pity that Huang Cao is not a Victorian, and he can’t do what Victoria did. If he really wanted to do it, he would have done it long ago. How could he make the emperor surrender?

It’s more like a two-way rush than a surrender.

Because the Gallic emperor believed that the leader of the utopia was willing to take care of his people, rather than completely divide the benefits.

As expected, after Huang Cao took over the crown, scepter and orb representing the power of the entire Gaul from Corsica, he officially dispatched his soldiers to various parts of the city to maintain basic social order.

At the same time, the King of Gaul also made his guards and administrative team completely obey Utopia, and disarmed all weapons, even the cooking knives were not retained.

After doing all this, the emperor Lingone from Gaul completely surrendered to Utopia.

Then the King of Gaul once again handed a letter to Huang Cao on the throne in front of everyone.

The letter contained a letter from the Gallic emperor to all Gallic citizens, announcing the end of the Corsican dynasty.

"I will not kill the king of another country, but you must pledge your loyalty to me and become my subject."

In front of all the residents of Lingongs, Huangcao ordered his abundance warriors to bring in cartloads of bread from the logistics warehouse.

The hungry residents couldn't help swallowing when they saw the delicious bread.

But without the emperor... no, now it should be said that Huang Cao's order, they dared not take a single step forward.

"Line up in order of appearance, distribute bread according to population, and kill those who loot."

In front of everyone, Huang Cao slammed the scepter representing the power of the Gaul Emperor on the ground. The sound was very loud and majestic.

The soldiers of abundance at the back acted very quickly, quickly forming hundreds of teams to distribute bread, but they did not point their weapons at the hungry Gallic citizens.

Perhaps he was extremely hungry, or perhaps he was moved by his kindness and righteousness.

All the residents present stood in hundreds of queues in a very orderly manner and received bread in the order they came in.

They are really hungry.

Ever since the Gallic emperor was driven back to the capital, Utopia has been banning Lingones for a month.

Although the residents in the city have been starving during this period, they have not starved to death. Until now, they are at the critical point of starvation and running out of food and ammunition.

If I had come one day later, perhaps the situation now would be completely different from yesterday.

The hatred of people starving to death will gradually spread and cause a lot of trouble for the subsequent management of Utopia.

The way to be a sage within and a king without is contained therein. At the same time, Corsica has done very good ideological work on its own people, and they fully recognize the legitimacy of the utopia in governing their country, so no violence occurred during the food distribution process.

Seeing that his people finally ate the hot bread they wished for, the last trace of worry in the Gallic emperor's heart disappeared without a trace.

Then the next thing to consider is how to save your life.

It would be good to survive, but the chances of survival are almost zero in the current situation.

Corsica knew how popular he was among the people of Gaul, a result of his long reign.

Although he could probably leave behind a good reputation as the last king with backbone after his death, what would happen to his descendants?

It’s not that Corsica looks down on its descendants, but in the current situation, we can no longer rely on the wisdom of future generations. If we are not careful, the entire family may be executed.

He was forced all the way by the rich warriors to the palace where he used to live. As soon as he entered the door, a large number of princesses and ministers who had been waiting for a long time knelt on the ground.

"Welcome the new king!"

When kneeling, the princess and the ministers did not even look at the current Gallic emperor. Only a few loyal ministers stayed by Corsica's side.

The princess showed her figure completely to Huang Cao, as if she was seducing the newly appointed King of Gaul and trying to maintain her wealth and glory in this way.

The same goes for the male and female ministers who have absolutely no moral integrity. They would like to use all the good words in the world to praise the yellow grass.

"This is your princess and minister. They don't look that great. So, where's your queen?"

"Your Majesty, they are merely old parasites. If you are willing to listen to the dying words of a king who lost his country... my suggestion is to behead all of them. This will greatly ease the pressure on your future administration."

"As for my queen... she probably doesn't want to see me groveling, so she's saving a last shred of dignity for me..."

Corsica had long been dissatisfied with these princesses and ministers, but matters between nobles were inherently conflicts of interest.

In order to prevent these families from hindering him, he had no choice but to keep these parasites in the capital and provide them with good food and drink.

But now it’s different. It’s still unknown whether I can see the sun tomorrow, so I might as well just confront them all.

Don’t you want to be a fence-sitter? Then I’ll take you all away in one go!

"Your Majesty, do not listen to this sinner. If it weren't for his stubborn resistance, we would have already opened the city gates to welcome the royal army!"

A very charming princess wanted to get close to him, hoping to take this opportunity to win Huang Cao's heart.

But unfortunately, no matter how beautiful it is, it can't compare to the old cat.

Before his lord could say anything, the Fengcuo warriors nearby had already tied up all the ministers.

As warriors of abundance who have been with Huang Cao for almost a hundred years, they know their master's character very well.

The master hates treacherous ministers and fence-sitters the most.

But the tied-up princess and ministers did not feel fear. They thought it was just a formality.

The emperors come and go, but the aristocratic families remain. If they kill us all, who will maintain the basic operation of this country?

In the end, they still have to turn to us for help to continue to maintain their prosperity and wealth...

"I think everyone must feel that Gaul can't function without you."

Huang Cao directly saw through their little thoughts, and then step by step, he, wearing golden armor, walked up to the throne that the Gaul emperor once sat on.

Then, without any hesitation, he used the sword in his hand to split the seat in half.

"From today on, this country no longer has an emperor. Now please call me Mr. President!"

The feudal system is the most inefficient system in the world, and the aristocracy built on bloodlines is too pedantic.

Gaul can have its current international status purely due to the hard work of generations of wise kings, because the country has not undergone a bourgeois revolution until now.

Until the defeat, all the country's social resources revolved around the royal family.

It would be fine if there was a wise ruler, but once there was a foolish ruler, the country would immediately fall into an irretrievable situation.

This is also one of the drawbacks of the feudal system.

Huang Cao cannot let these treacherous ministers slow down his plan to govern Gaul.

These termites must be eliminated. Are they kept just to show off one's extravagance?

The paradise of comfort created by false and malicious flattery is like a bubble in the water and meaningless to him.

"And...Corsica, who said I was going to guillotine you? You are worth much more than your own life."

Chapter 246: How can we build a good country with this bunch of insects?!

"You are right. These parasites are indeed detrimental to the country's development and will also hinder my administrative plans."

Huang Cao clapped his hands and asked his men to carry his desk in and placed it directly on top of the throne. Then he sat down very casually.

At the same time, he held the sword and glanced at the people who were tied up below, his eyes full of cruelty.

When these treacherous ministers heard that they were about to be beheaded, they immediately panicked and fell to the ground, begging for mercy frantically.

"Mr. Huang, please don't listen to this criminal's lies. We can definitely help you manage this country and even provide more tax revenue than before. Please give us a chance!"

"The higher taxes you speak of are nothing more than the exploitation of the people's labor. They have no technological content. I'd rather ask Tou Haisi to lead the reconstruction of Gaul than to count on you."

"Take all these hundred or so people out and chop them off. They're just wasting our hard-earned bread. My new policy doesn't need these parasites."

"From today on, this palace will be the presidential residence, and I need to choose a secretary to help me handle basic affairs in Gaul. Corsica, are you willing to help me rebuild this country?"

Corsica was also stunned when he heard Mr. Huang’s invitation.

“Mr. Huang, although I have a deep understanding of your kindness, are you sure?”

This was really too surprising. Although there had been precedents of not killing kings of other countries both inside and outside Gaul, the fate of the defeated was always imprisonment, and it was impossible for them to have access to any power again.

"I understand the principle of not employing those you doubt, and trusting those you employ. So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I will use a special method to control your thinking. As a result, you and your descendants will lose your freedom, and even the freedom of thought."

"But you can still build the country you love. Your love for Gaul is the first reason why I value you."

"Of course, you have to change your image and experience the country with a different face and voice."
