Power and Empire Chapter 559: The North-South Controversy
559 The North-South Controversy
Hu Tubeien’s net sky is undoubtedly very warm. This city surrounded by mountains has no bitter wind blows, no ice and snow cover,
Under the steaming mist of countless hot springs,
The whole city looks hazy, misty and dang, rainbows across, it looks like a fairyland.
The sky observatory on the top of the mountain faintly displays a pointed roof in this dreamlike mist and rainbow,
Round statues, white marble steles, wide and straight streets, and white paths paved with cobblestones,
No matter who is in the sight, it is definitely an ancient, peaceful, beautiful and warm city.
Early in the morning, the carriage of the Duke of Fenlang of Salander left his house. The carriage travels evenly on the street, and the Duke of Finland, sitting in the carriage, exhales white breath constantly,
He was the lord of the Reid region in the southern part of Salander. Because of the Norman attack, he was forced to abandon his territory and flee to Kyoto for refuge. This time, as one of the lieutenants of the Northern Commander appointed by Kyoto Appointed to serve in the Northern Territory,
The beautiful scenery in front of him made him look with an inexplicable emotion,
This year's Hu Tubeien is particularly cold. He needs to rub his hands and feet constantly to keep warm, so as not to accidentally freeze his hands and feet.
A cold wind blows, but this doesn’t stop his imagination,
This is much like your own Rhett Mountain area. At this moment, it should also be in the wild.
The Duke of Finlan sighed, and couldn't help tightening his leather jacket, but he couldn't help but shiver.
There are no pedestrians in the deserted streets, and many upper bunks are closed, with big characters such as "graduation" written on them.
Apparently the owner is ready to leave Hutubeien.
Now everyone knows that the economic center of the north is the newly emerging Heckling,
I heard that it has become the largest trading port in the north, and there are more than 100 ships that berthed every day.
Just thinking about it makes people feel thrilled, and such a land of gold flowing with féi is in the hands of a little lord named Heck,
I don’t know how much benefit the northern lords have received from this guy, and they are willing to give him the unified management of their fleet.
This is something that cannot be tolerated anyway,
This is a big gold mine. How can it be controlled by these humble guys? It is said that there are some Kyoto adults behind this matter, but what about it?
Could it be that Jeharto-sama still has a strong background?
That is the minister of the Northern Consulate appointed by His Majesty the King, who has full authority over all affairs in the north and the famous generals against the Normans.
In addition to the 2,000 brave and militant Mamunuk knights who came with him, there was also the full authorization of His Majesty King Lagra. As long as necessary, Lord Jeharto can dispose of any opponent at will,
Don’t say that the governor of the North is screaming when he sees this document.
It is the little northern lords who were still screaming, but in front of Lord Jeharto, they dare not take a breath.
If you have to count some resistance, probably only the nv guy named Laiya, who used illness as an excuse to refuse to handle the official documents released by the consul-general
But only with a small Heck collar, I want to fight against the iron hoof of the Mamunuk Legion led by Lord Jehark. That is simply a dream,
Master Jehalk did not touch her, it was entirely in the face of her dead father, but this situation will certainly not last long,
At this moment, the Duke of Fenlang suddenly saw a very simple carriage, turning out of the alley to his side,
The coachman wrapped his face with a veil, and he couldn’t see clearly, but he was so graceful that he could see that he was an nv person,
There is no family emblem on the carriage mén, only a white starlight mark,
That is the carriage of the Star Temple, Duke Fenlang froze for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and through the thin sand of the carriage, one could vaguely see an nv person sitting inside,
"She? Why did you arrive early?"
The graceful and elegant star-like back made the Duke Fenlang's gaze freeze. It was as long as a waterfall, and his elegant and plain clothes made the netsè of the whole city eclipsed.
The **** of the Duke of Fenlang paused, with a hint of unexpected joy. I had heard that she was coming, but I didn’t expect that she would come.
She was referring to the Kingdom’s Starry Sky Sacrifice that presided over the Winter Veil Festival,
This is a hidden trump card. It is said that the toughest attitude right now is Miss Nilai, who is in charge of the affairs of Heck territory.
And this young lady with great power is the favorite nv disciple of the Star Festival. As long as she shows up, even if that Nile complains about the illness, she will have to come and see the teacher in person. At that time, everything will not be a problem.
As we approached the center of the city, people occasionally passed by on the street, walking past silently with her head shrunk quickly, her whole body trembling in the cold wind.
Only a small group of Mamunuk cavalry appeared from time to time. Wearing a bright armor full of accessories, carrying a sharp sword, and looking at everyone on the street with hostile eyes, it seems that they are all Normans.
The Duke of Fenlang saw that simple carriage and slowly stopped in front.
There, a group of Salander city guards escorted a dozen young people who were only about 13 or 4 years old.
The young people were all bowed their heads, and some were still crying in a low voice. They were unwilling to move no matter how the city guard soldiers beat them.
"Damn it, why did she run into such a thing"
The Duke of Finlan cursed secretly and quickly ordered the parking,
It’s a pity that it’s too late. Who doesn’t know that the contemporary starry sky festival is not only the first beauty in the kingdom of Kyoto, but also a pacifist
Sure enough, he heard a faint and crisp voice from inside the carriage in front of him.
"What's the matter? What crime did they commit?"
The leading city guard officer clearly recognized the star temple mark on the carriage. After his face hesitated for a while, he immediately replied, clarifying the whole story.
It turns out that these teenagers were all hunted out from the homes of residents in the city. They must be sent to the army in Kyoto to serve, because they resist military service and hide in Tibet, so they are **** with ropes.
With the successive defeats on the front line, Kyoto’s soldiers are seriously underrepresented.
For this reason, the newly appointed Northern Commander-in-chief, Jehaldo, ordered that all Northern Territories are men under the age of 12-years. Must perform military service,
These teenagers are just thirteen years old, although their parents have proven that they are not yet thirteen years old,
But Master Chief did not hesitate to order them back to the barracks.
Of course, the Duke of Finlan is aware of this decree.
In fact, it was the Duke of Finlan who proposed this method. This method has already been implemented in Kyoto, otherwise it would be impossible for Kyoto to withstand the multiple attacks of the Normans,
"How can Master Chief do this, these are still children"
An nv guy wearing a plain sè light yellow sè long skirt slowly came out of the carriage,
Seeing the seven-star robe inlaid on this nv person, all the Salander soldiers knelt down quickly,
This is a beautiful nv enough to make any man remember,
The slender face of melon seeds, the chin is a bit pointed, the pointed chin, and the straight bridge of the nose show her strong and unyielding style.
The dark and supple long draped over the shoulders, shimmering with enviable luster,
The faint crescent eyebrows, a bit like a crescent moon, are gently raised on both sides, like small butterflies about to fly. Under the crescent eyebrows, there are light blue deep eyes.
Her appearance is like a crescent moon climbing into the night sky, with an indescribable euphemism
She looked sympathetically at the still very childish teenagers~IndoMTL.com~ sighed helplessly, and got back into the carriage.
Although she is the highest-level star sacrifice in the kingdom, she does not have netbsp for military matters; thinking of these innocent teenagers who may not know what real war is like, in the near future, she will accept death. Beckoning,
Her heart can't help but feel tenderness
This is true in Kyoto. In other places, it goes without saying. Maybe those who are only eleven or twelve years old will be forced into the army to fill the vacancies in the army.
As the war became more and more fierce, more and more soldiers were replenished in the rear, and there was even a strange phenomenon that the number of troops was several times higher than before the defeat.
However, who would believe that these forcibly captured teenagers can play what role on the battlefield?
In addition to using their thin body to resist the Norman butcher knife, what else can they do?
Perhaps, only ending the war as soon as possible is the real way out for the Kingdom of Salander.
