Power and Empire Chapter 104: Kyoto Storm (1)
The quarreling nobles in Kyoto divided into two attitudes toward Samor. One is a hostile attitude. According to the logic of the nobles, a lord who did not get permission from the royal family dared to lead the army into the Kyoto area, no matter what the reason. All the reasons are rebellious,
Most of these nobles are people who have a hatred attitude towards Samor. Most of them come from the outlying areas of Kyoto, or lords who have been sealed off, or nobles who have been expropriated freely by Samor on their own or their relatives’ land.
There are also some conservatives born and raised in Kyoto. Their relatives, families, estates, and business are all in Kyoto. They are different from the nouveau riche new aristocrats. Their roots are all over Kledo. They are here. Prosper and thrive, intrigue here,
There are some ancient family histories, even dating back to the Guge dynasty thousands of years ago. They have seen countless powerful forces gently touch the crown of Kyoto, and then be covered by the vast dust of history,
And they still stay here steadily. They know better than anyone else that Kyoto is everything to them. Here they are the oldest and noble family. After leaving Crest, they are nothing, even There is no right to beg for mercy.
The interests of these people are consistent with the interests of the royal family. The strong private army aristocracy did not dare to suppress them too much. It was more of a mutual compromise. Now the private army aristocracy has collapsed, and the Samors are here. These conservatives have begun to move again,
As they did countless times before, the messengers who negotiated with the Samores have set off. Compared with the ambitious private army nobles, the conservatives are more concerned about the changes in their status in Kyoto and the stability of the royal family’s glory. It is the foundation of their centuries-old existence in Kyoto.
Soon, the messenger of the negotiations came back. This is a young man from the Edwardian family. He was originally just a small character sent, but at the moment his name has spread throughout Kyoto, "Edward the Peace"
For the nobles in Kyoto, this young man saved Kyoto from the anger of the Samors and allowed them to stay in Kyoto and enjoy the prosperous life. This is enough to make him famous, a rising star in the noble world. Rising, the limelight overwhelmed all the young aristocrats. He is now the darling of the conservative aristocrats. The marriage invitation of countless families has blocked the door of the Edward family.
At this moment, he is waving the armistice agreement that he has just signed in his hand. The pride on his face is like a hero who has just won the war. This armistice agreement makes the conservatives cheers, and countless beautiful aristocratic girls are standing in the corridor of the banquet hall. , Shouting his name admiringly, throwing flowers in his hands to their heroes,
The conservative leader, the new Secretary of the Interior, Caesar Huaos, took over the armistice agreement signed from him. In the presence of all the conservative aristocrats, spread out this important agreement destined to be recorded in the annals of history, conservative aristocrats I don’t know yet, what they are opening is a "Pandora's Box" that can shake the status of Kyoto
The Samor people first condemned the incursion of the Kyoto noble army, demanding that Kyoto expel these Samor enemies and give some compensation,
Secondly, the Samor people generously expressed their understanding of conservatives and respect for the royal family. They will stop the advancement to Kyoto Kristol, but demand that Kyoto liberalize trade restrictions and cancel all tariffs on merchants in the Samor region. , And set up the Governor’s Mansion of Samor in Kyoto, and leased ten streets in the southern part of Kyoto to Samor indefinitely.
Finally, and most importantly, Samor asked the royal family to grant the Marquis Dustan as the governor of the southern kingdom, with the authority to act on behalf of the royal family in the affairs of the southern kingdom.
The next day, this agreement was placed on the desk of Kingdom Guitar III
"This is a split!" King Guitar III threw the negotiation agreement to the ground angrily, his eyes furious. "Do you want me to agree to such a rebellious request? This is an insult to the royal family!"
"Your Majesty! Please forgive your subordinates for taking the liberty" Interior Secretary Caesar Huaos respectfully bent over and bowed his head to report
"The power of the Samor people is mainly in the south, and the threat to the royal family is not as great as those of the greedy private army nobles. If we don’t agree to their demands, the Samor army will arrive in Kyoto. We don’t have to For those **** private army nobles, bear the anger of the Samors. Since the Samors demand the jurisdiction of the South, then we might as well grant them in the name of the royal family. Since it is a grant, it can naturally be taken back at an appropriate time. It can appease the angry Samor people without damaging the reputation of the royal family, and it can aggravate other southern lords’ dissatisfaction with Samor. And we can take advantage of this favorable time to seize the occupied land in the middle, as long as we have enough The strength of the royal family will surely regain its glory!"
"You mean let’s use an empty southern governor’s hat to let the Samorians fight with the rebellious lords of the south!" Guitar III’s face improved and his fingers tapped on the armrest of the seat. "Since In this way, it is better to give them a bigger fruit, so that the boring lords of the south are also lively! If I divide the southern governor into two parts, Samor will control the upper south, and the Shiva will control the south... "
"Your Majesty said..." Caesar Huaos' face changed slightly, and the conservatives finally signed an agreement with Samer. Caesar Huaos didn't want to be surprised because of His Majesty’s "evil interest" , Hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this may not be right. The Dardanelles of Shivacheze have always been disrespectful to the royal family. The Kyoto-level Cavaliers Tournament was held last time. Make the Samor dissatisfied!"
"Hehe! Disrespect to the royal family!" Guitar III snorted, his tone of blame was obvious
"Do the Samors respect the royal family? They sent troops to occupy the four southern counties, exchanged prisoners of war with the Khergits without authorization, and provided them with food and grass. I solicited the royal family’s opinion that time, and now they are still in Kyoto. You want the royal family to compromise with the rude and rude peasants. That’s how it is decided."
"Go down, I'm tired!" Guitar III's righteous indignation was overwhelmed, his excited face flushed, and his voice grew louder. The spit sprayed on Caesar Huaos' face, and the Minister of Internal Affairs could only grimace.
The revised agreement was sent back to the Samor Barracks. The fat man looked at the revised third article with a noncommittal face, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Hehe, stupid royal family!" This third article was used by the fat man to cover up the first two. , I didn’t pass the idea, but I didn’t expect it to be passed by the royal family, especially the royal family’s stupid way of dividing the south into the upper and lower parts of the rule. The fat man almost laughed out loud
The control of the South relies on strength and the army. In addition to the nominally deformed capital of glory, the Japanese car not only has an extremely poor economic foundation, but its own military strength is insufficient for even a banner regiment. Such a middle lord wants to control The unruly lords who live in the south are simply idiotic dreams. Originally, the fat man was planning to secretly engage in small tricks to intensify the relationship between the Dardanelles and other territories. Now it’s good. This is busy by the self-righteous King of Kyoto. Now, even the fat man sighed in his heart, "This work is beautiful!"
Fatty signed the agreement and put his own thorns badge on it. As compensation, the southern part of Kyoto slipped into Samor’s hands silently. In response to this request,
The conservatives have silently acquiesced, and they are all already occupied~IndoMTL.com~ Can we still count on the Samors to spit out the fat? Everyone is not a fool. This good thing is impossible. It is better to exchange for something useful. Samer promised the conservatives that the conservative land in southern Kyoto will be returned intact, but a certain amount of protection fee must be paid every year.
"My lord, this is the confluence of the Suleta River and the Satsuma River," Caesar Sauron said, pointing to the confluence of a wide river. The two wide rivers are rushing and colliding here, white waves He rushed to the east with a vigorous momentum. "Subordinates believe that this is the best place to build a new city in Kyoto. Not far from the upper reaches is the famous quarry, and the dense forest to the east. The business road to Kyoto is from Passing through here, if we build a new city here, not only can we protect the safety of Kyoto’s commercial roads, but we can also allow goods to be transported to the northern region to board the ship from here, down the river to the northern Kurau region."
"Well, this place is a good choice." The fat man nodded with satisfaction, building a city along the river and roads along the city. This has always been the norm for the fat man to build a city. The fat man is going to build two large buildings in the south of Kyoto, integrating commerce, freight and transportation. The city is controlled by the military. Now the commercial roads in the Kyoto area have been opened. The establishment of a commercial road that leads directly to the north is the fat man’s most recent concern. As long as these two cities are established, Samor’s commercial road can go down the river to the north. , This will greatly increase Samor's sphere of influence.
Control the top to rule the down, and transport troops along the river, which can reach hundreds of miles a day. This method was used when the Qin State destroyed the Chu State.
"How are the construction preparations in Kyoto!" The fat man gathered the construction sketch in his hand and rode on his horse with the help of the guards. "There is the top priority of the whole plan, you send someone to tell Kudalis , I’m going to Kyoto in two days, if something goes wrong, I can’t spare him!"
