Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 185: Surrender? What surrender?

Although there were many nobles like Dian who thought that the Gray-Collar Army was here to pick up the bride, most of the nobles soon discovered that something was wrong. After all, it was obvious that the Gray-Collar Army was here to fight.

Not only did White prepare for battle, he also used artillery very cautiously to clear the way, almost treating the Tongshan Territory as a powerful enemy.

Many of the members of the Third Army were former knights of the Lars family. They had followed White to resist Doug's army in Winterhold, which was one of the reasons why Dean felt that Lena could rebel.

After listening to Colin's explanation of how the Lord of Copper Mountain slandered Reina, the knights who led the team were furious. Even those soldiers who had nothing to do with the Lars family were furious when they heard their mistress being scolded. You have to know that Reina is not just a simple mistress, she also holds a military position.

The Gray and White Collars did not care about the idea of ​​the king humiliating their subjects and the ministers dying, but these soldiers knew who was good to them and who was not, and based on the simple idea of ​​revenge, they were determined to flatten the Tongshan Collars.

There are many soldiers and officers in the army who have been awarded medals by Reina.

The Tongshan leader, whose towns had been captured, immediately realized that the enemy had ill intentions, and while organizing resistance, he shouted that he had surrendered.

"Surrender? What surrender?"

White looked at the envoy sent from Tongshan Territory with confusion.

"Didn't we send people to surrender to your governor? We also planned to marry the woman of the Ambrose family to your governor. Don't you know?"

The Lord of Tongshan must have been furious, and the envoy he sent was also a nobleman of considerable stature.

White did not answer, but Colin on the side answered:

"Are you sure that wasn't a provocation?"

Colin picked his ears and put his feet on the negotiation table.

"How is this possible? It must be you, the people of the Lars family, who deceived the superiors and subordinates and caused the Governor to misunderstand."

"Misunderstand?"

Colin pulled out a few thin books from his pocket.

"You wrote these, didn't you?"

The nobles who came to negotiate broke out in cold sweat, because Colin took out not only those thin books, but also the confessions of those booksellers.

"I didn't expect that there are so many people in the North who are not convinced by their brother-in-law. But now it's good. Thanks to you, I have some unexpected gains this time."

This incident involved not only the Tongshan Territory, but also many territories that had been conquered and not governed for long. Those nobles and wealthy businessmen were secretly thinking about gathering their strength and launching a big one at the critical moment to reshuffle the situation and return it to its former state.

It's just that Tongshanling's decision this time was somewhat tempting. After all, these people had never considered the track of marrying off their daughters before, so they chose to join. After all, they were just helping to print some things, and it would be done secretly and no one could find out.

What's more, these people had already printed the ballads that cursed the governor before, and the magnanimous governor didn't care at all, which gave these nobles an illusion.

Like Lars before him, Lind is unable to control the nobles under his command.

But thanks to the powerful grassroots household registration and taxation system of Gray Collar, Colin quickly locked on to these remnants through the tax invoices. Based on this clue, and in cooperation with Lucanus, he pulled out all these nobles.

The noble who came to negotiate wanted to argue, but was kicked out by Colin.

"roll!"

After the noble envoy left, Colin called one of his followers and asked, "Have you investigated it clearly?"

"We have investigated thoroughly, sir. This person's family tree has been fully compiled."

Colin nodded and said, "General White, keep fighting. Thank you for your help."

"Don't dare."

White saluted, shook his cloak, and went to reorganize the army.

This negotiation almost cut off all the thoughts of the nobles of Tongshan Territory. These nobles still couldn't understand why Linde got angry just after scolding Lena, even though they had been scolding him for so long without any problem.

Although the nobles were cursing that the Lars family must have deceived their superiors and blocked the news without authorization, the nobles who knew a little about Gray Collar knew that Reina was more of a figurehead in the army, and the one who truly controlled the army was Lind himself.

This is also the reason why these nobles were not worried at the beginning that Lise would not be able to defeat Reina, who had the support of the army and the Lars family.

However, the development of things seemed to be different from what these nobles expected. The nobles of Tongshan Territory unexpectedly found Lind's sore spot, but this did not seem to be a good thing.

Many weapons and equipment that the Gray Territory’s army had never seen before when attacking other territories began to attack Tongshan Territory. In just two days, the outer towns of Tongshan Territory were completely defeated.

However, surrender was not the end, but the beginning of a nightmare. It was not the gray-collar army that dealt with these nobles, but the people brought by Colin.

Except for the children who could not remember, almost all the members of the family were captured by Colin. Originally, Colin wanted to kill them directly, but the bard handed Colin the charges of these nobles before the execution.

Fair execution is what Lind has always emphasized. No matter how angry one is, this procedure must be carried out.

Although Colin felt that it was unnecessary, given his brother-in-law's current status, he could kill anyone he wanted.

But out of respect for his brother-in-law, Colin took over the charges and tried the nobles according to the procedures.

It is impossible for the nobles of this era to have clean butts. The only difference is between being more anthropomorphic and completely perverted.

In order to avoid any mistakes, Colin personally read out the charges against these nobles on the stage. The main charge was of course slandering and defaming his sister, but there were also many dirty things these nobles had done.

Although the people in the audience did not understand which noble was being slandered, they applauded when they heard the other crimes of these nobles. Especially when these nobles were killed, it seemed that the emotions that had been vented for a long time burst out, and they even began to kneel down to worship Colin in the audience.

To be honest, when Colin received the charges against these nobles, he thought that they were nothing serious. Although these nobles were indeed not very human, the biggest crime was still that they slandered his sister.

But when he saw the people in the audience kneeling down to him, the usually dissolute Colin suddenly felt a chill and shame.

What I have done in the past is not much more humane than these nobles.

Only at this moment did Colin realize that the reason he could stand in this position to judge these nobles was probably because his brother-in-law did not want to make his sister sad.

Colin finally understood what Lind had said at that time. He was an inspector of gray and white collar workers, not someone's lackey.

My brother-in-law wants to change himself from his old ideas and bad habits.

Because of the wide range of involvement, the trial lasted for a long time, and even Colin became numb from killing people. The next step was to deal with the assets and land distribution of these nobles.

After all, White had already gone to capture a town, so these tasks could only be completed by Colin. Fortunately, Lind had realized this situation early and arranged some officials to assist Colin in his entourage.

Although Colin did not personally divide the land, he quickly found out the assets of all the local serf tenants through some of his own dandy tricks.

But the ordinary people didn't know. They only knew that Colin not only killed those noble lords, but also gave them land. So they were very respectful to Colin. Some serfs who had regained their freedom even knelt down and wanted to kiss Colin's boots.

"No kneeling!"

Seeing these people kneeling down to him, Colin felt ashamed and angry, and felt that he could not bear it. Colin was no longer the playboy he used to be, and could no longer accept these people's kneeling down with peace of mind.

Hearing this, the serfs looked at Colin with some fear, not knowing whether to stand up or continue kneeling.

These serfs and civilians just thought it was some new etiquette, and began to look at Colin with some fear.

After dividing the land of another family, the little girl in the arms of the woman of that family suddenly took out a beet leaf and said, "Brother, this is for you."

The woman hurriedly grabbed the girl's hand and was about to kneel down, but seemed to remember Colin's previous words that she was not allowed to kneel, and she bowed awkwardly in her place.

Colin took the leaf handed to him by the little girl and started chewing it.

"Thank you."

It was the first time that Colin knew that the vegetable leaves on the roadside were also sweet.
