Some people may say, how can this be robbing Peter to pay Paul? Our army is newly established, shipped in from the major colonies, so it can be considered a newly established army.
But those with common sense would tell them that while your newly established army is true, the question is, have you asked the people who support you? Are they willing to serve in your army? If they are unwilling, then you cannot continue, which is the biggest frustration. Therefore, in such a situation, local public security is also very worrying.
Take the Nile River for example. Originally, there weren't many rebels. Although some people there wanted independence, they were suppressed by the Arab army and had no choice but to give in. But in this situation, if we can't take care of them, what will be the result? When those people choose to rebel, we don't even have the ability to suppress them.
So in this situation, they all had to endure it. If they didn't, the final outcome would be hard to predict. Once someone rose up in rebellion, it would be a disaster for the entire Arab Empire.
In fact, half a month ago, there were disturbances around the royal capital. The nephews and nieces of those people were captured by the army. They were all people who had made contributions to the empire. The caliph had promised that he would not let their children go to the battlefield again and would let them live a good life around the royal capital.
However, the current imperial court didn't care about this at all and still dragged their children to the battlefield. This can be said to have no credibility at all, but what can these people do? They still have to choose to listen honestly.
In the magnificent palace of the Arab Empire, the Caliph was also at a loss. He didn't know how to control the situation. Although he wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible, in the past one or two years, he also knew that impatience would not solve any problem.
Take the current Sukhguman for example. He wants to replace this guy, but after you replace him, will there be a better replacement? Others have won victories in other places, but have not achieved any results in the war with the Tang Dynasty. Although Sukhguman has not won any victories, he can at least stabilize the war in the north.
The Caliph felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled the last time the Tang army was only five hundred miles away. It was a thought he didn't want to recall. If it were someone else, how would we resist if the Tang army came quickly? Would we have to move the capital south?
This is impossible. When the word "supervision" appeared in his mind, he shook his head vigorously. If the capital was moved now, it would be a very terrible thing.
When a country is strong, it is reasonable to place the capital anywhere, and everyone can basically understand it. But when a country is on the decline, the entire political situation must not have any form of turmoil. If turmoil occurs, you may not be able to resolve it.
Take the current Arab Empire for example. Rebels have appeared in the north. It only takes a few letters to turn an official of the Arab Empire into an official of the Tang Dynasty. There is not much difficulty in the process. Ates has been appointed as the general. This is like a model set up. If you can't suppress him and behead him, it means that your Arab Empire court is incompetent.
"Has that bastard Atez's family not been found yet? How do you normally do things? You tell me every day that everything is under control, and now I'm just asking you to arrest a few people, and you can't even catch them. It seems like I've been merciful for too long, and you've forgotten how I used to do things."
The Caliph stared at the ministers in front of him. They were all officials similar to those in the Imperial City Office. Normally, the Caliph was told that the families of officials from other places were in the royal city and they could not escape at all. As long as we wanted to catch them, it would be a matter of a word.
It is precisely because of these people's promises that the Caliph has nothing to worry about. There is also nothing to worry about those officials in the north. As long as these people dare to make judgments, their entire families will be beheaded. He has been the Caliph for so many years, and he has never seen anyone who does not care about his family. Even those who have no conscience will still care about their families deep down in their hearts.
But now there's a rebel. I told you guys to arrest and kill people, but you come back and tell me that Atez's family has all fled. Is that something a normal person would say? How do you actually carry out your work? If you don't have the ability, you shouldn't be so confident.
After hearing what the Caliph said, these people knelt in front of him trembling, and they really didn't know how to explain this matter. They also wanted to capture Atez's family members, and now they wanted to tear those people into pieces, but there were some things they couldn't do. According to the latest news they received, Atez's family members were taken away some time ago.
At that time, Atez was of no use at all and did not show any signs of betraying us. He was just a minor local official in the north, and his family members left here were not that important. His son followed him to form an army in the north, so no one thought about this matter.
Now that this incident has happened, they are being held accountable. They don't know what to say. In their impression, if a similar incident occurs, they can only kneel here and keep silent. As for how the Caliph punishes them, they can only leave it to fate.
These people know the Caliph very well. If you shout loudly to defend yourself, your life will definitely be over, but if you don't say much, you still have a chance. Of course, in this case, if you feel it is wrong, then some things are your own business.
Many people are unwilling to beg for mercy, not because they don’t want to, but because they dare not.
