According to Andrew's order, Lieutenant Colonel Shade led a brigade of military police to confiscate all the food of the profiteers and collectively executed them in the name of espionage and conspiracy to resist the Republic. The location was still by the inner city wall. However, the refugees outside the city of Laroche followed the agreement reached between General Andrew and Father Benier, and under the arrangement of both sides, they began to migrate into the city in an organized and step-by-step manner. A total of more than 20,000 refugees moved quite smoothly. These were hungry refugees who could not resist the substantial temptation from food and residence. In addition, the angels placed by Father Benier among them also played a great comforting role.

In accordance with the decree just passed by the National Convention, Andrew issued a policy of national reconciliation to them, announcing that the National Convention, which represents the highest power of the Republic, allowed citizens of the Vendai area to retain their freedom of religious belief, and promised that everyone would return to their homes after the rebellion, and the Republic government would contribute funds to help. Although refugees, who were once rural peasants, still had various doubts about the Republic's government and the mountain generals in front of them, the elders recommended among the refugees still signed the government's peace agreement on behalf of the villagers of each village, opposed the rebels headed by Houster and collectively swore allegiance to the Republic.

The peace treaty is just a high-sounding thing in writing. Andrew is not sure of how much it is, and he will not believe it. In order to make the Catholic farmers regard themselves as their amiable "parent officials", Andrew and the angels of Father Benier also co-directed a series of "fars".

The day after Andrew arrived in Laroche, the supreme leader of Vandy County attended the Mass held by the priests in the oldest and most magnificent Gothic Cathedral in the city. The cathedral was well preserved, and all kinds of decorations and doors and windows were still the same. The priests guided the devout religious people to clean up the night of the city. General Andrew, who was dressed in military uniform and solemn, also lit a candle begging for God's love under the guidance of the messenger of God. He joined more than 500 people in the audience to recite the so-called praises to God loudly in the church with a pious expression, but in a hurry, there was only a young choir missing.

The ceremony lasted for more than three hours, and the priest who presided over the ceremony once again made a disgusting high theory. After describing God's mercy, he enthusiastically praised General Andrew as a believer of God, a savior of Vandy, and a protector of the people... These words made all the followers who knew the inside story of the Mountain General feel extremely ashamed, but Andrew himself was content with his expression, and his expression was unconcealed and accepted it with peace of mind. In the subsequent speech, General Andrew promised all the believers in the name of the Republic that the policy of national reconciliation and freedom of religious belief implemented by the government of the French Republic, and Andrew himself spared no effort to complete this mission.

When returning to the headquarters, Andrew "experienced" a strange thing on the way. A patient fainted just in time. On the general's path, everyone watched. The "kind" Andrew jumped off his horse and asked about the whole process. Only then did he realize that the patient lying on the ground in front of him was suffocated because of a lump in his throat. He was in danger. This abscess smelled foul, extremely ugly, and may be contagious, and must be removed immediately. Hearing this situation Andrew put his mouth on the abscess without hesitation and sucked the pus. He sucked his mouth all over and vomited it and then sucked it.

He sucked the blood and pus dry and saved the patient. At that time, he was wearing a uniform of the general of the Republic. Someone told him: "This patient had joined the rebels and killed many republic soldiers. He should be sent to the guillotine." Andrew replied: "I only know that he is a patient, a citizen of the republic who has been separated from the rebels." This action and this sentence, under the powerful exaggeration of the "heartfelt man", made General Andrew's image become taller in the hearts of all refugees, and he has become a messenger of God, and he went to the suffering of Wangdai to rescue them.

But the general's guards felt a little strange. Seeing General Andrew busy rinsing his mouth all night, cleaning his gums with something like a brush, and shouting loudly in his mouth, cursing the foreign language that no one could understand. Of course, what they didn't understand was Commander Andrew's beautiful national swearing. The cursed Father Benier had come up with such a bad idea. If it weren't for the good effect of stabilizing people's hearts, General Andrew would have risen up to demolish all the churches in the city.

For the local farmers who believe in God, there was a series of superficial tolerance and substantial deception, but Andrew was filled with extreme guilt and deep apology to the soldiers of the Vandai Legion.

The complete division of General Rossinoer's headquarters was 16,000, which was ordered to mobilize from the northern front to the Vandai area in April 1793 to quell the increasingly spreading rebellion. After the establishment of the Vandai Legion, he mobilized about six thousand other troops from all over the place, with a total of more than 23,000 (including the Pyrenees dispatched 3,000 troops, but the local self-defense army was not included). However, after nearly a year of cruel battles, less than half of the people survived to this day, and they were the backbone forces that General Andrew could rely on.

They were professional soldiers of this era, well-trained, well-equipped, brave in combat, and experienced countless hard battles, including victory and failure, but the soldiers never surrendered or rebelled. In the battle where General Rosinol was killed, thousands of them were not panicked and faced a sudden attack of rebels several times their own. No one asked for a breakthrough, and no one asked for surrender. They just accompanied their commanders to die bravely in the battlefield when the enemy was too many and we were too few and we were out of ammunition and food.

Andrew has always maintained a guilty attitude towards them. Although he did not personally participate in the conspiracy to frame General Rosinor, as he did not report it, he was condemned countless times with conscience. It was this conscience despise that led Andrew to hate the shameless officers who abandoned his soldiers and fled privately, rather than just killing a warning to him.

Although there were less than 10,000 Republican troops, to be precise, 9,556 soldiers and 26 subordinate officers. Fortunately, Andrew was not injured among all the left-behind soldiers, and they were veterans who had been through the battlefield and could fight with guns at any time. The previous seriously injured either died in the massacre in the field hospital or later transferred to other cities.

According to the advice of Adjutant Dawu, all 10,000 troops were reorganized into a Standard Division, including two subordinate brigades, one of the personal guard cavalry regiment and one of the direct artillery regiment. The commander-in-chief of the division was still the commander of General Andrew. His two brigade commanders were Lieutenant Colonel Dawu and Major Neck, with the number of personnel of each brigade of about 3,800. While serving as the military judge, Xia De also served as the commander of the cavalry regiment, including Andrew's own guard cavalry regiment and later selected more than 400 soldiers who knew how to ride, totaling 836 people, because of the lack of horses.

Many people are still quasi-cavalry standing on the ground; all artillery, regardless of their caliber, belong to the artillery regiment, currently only 12 artillery, but there are nearly 400 gunners and more than 600 guards, totaling more than 1,000 people. This is after Ravashi inspected the ordnance, which is the general that he can repair the other 22 cannons for the legion, and there is no need to worry about ammunition. The armory has reserved a large amount of saltpeter and other fire materials. After hearing the good news, Andrew happily appointed himself as the commander of the artillery regiment.

Other regiments, companies, and platoon-level officers were appointed by their superior officers, and Andrew also asked the soldiers to elect the squad leader themselves. Andrew was not worried about the regular army that lacked a large number of middle and senior officers. He vigorously promoted the subordinate officers, but had no military achievements. In addition to Major Neck, who led his troops to stay in the city, Andrew could not promote their ranks according to military orders. So this kind of strange phenomenon occurred throughout the entire legion, a warrant officer became the battalion commander of the infantry battalion, and a sergeant could lead a company.

With the arrival of General Andrew, the Wandai Division regained its vitality. Shooting deserters, rewarding soldiers, reorganizing troops, and promoting officers made all the soldiers full of confident smiles, busy all the time, ready to welcome the upcoming fierce battle at any time.

The soldiers' passion was high, but in Andrew's heart was not very happy. He was alone in the corridor admiring the rare treasures preserved in the church, with exquisite gold and silver religious instruments, various paintings, heraldry, carvings, etc. from the medieval periods reflecting religious themes.

The rebellion and suppression in the Vonde area on the front line were extremely crazy, and both sides were merciless and would never forgive their enemies. But in terms of the problem of handling churches, the Catholic rebels of course would not despise the church, and the Republicans would not learn from the Paris Commune to demolish God's temples. Both the Republican army and the rebels did not attack citizens or rebels hiding in the church. This was the only place where the two groups of hostile forces, who could reach a tacit understanding. But after Huster became the leader of the Vonde rebels, the situation changed. The church could no longer provide shelter for anyone. What was even more outrageous is that the rebels began to destroy and plunder the products of the church, which was God's private property, which was one of the fundamental reasons for the internal division of the rebels.
