Power and Empire Chapter 1214: Jing Ye’s gaze

　　 Outskirts of Paravin

　　 The cold last quarter moon hung on the tree head in front of the window, and the quiet light of silvery white shone in from the window, and it also shone on the white snow on the outer wall of the window. The ice and snow pattern hanging on the window glass was like a piece The floral handkerchief of the city embroidered with silver silk, changing colors in the moonlight, faintly gleaming, the shops on the streets of the town quickly quieted down after dark, the shops were closed, and the iron bars were drawn. There are almost no people in the street. A group of black cavalry quietly entered a dilapidated manor at the entrance of the town in the middle of the night.

　　 "My deputy, I am afraid that your manor has not been inhabited for more than ten years!"

　　 The fat man looked up and looked at the dilapidated villa in front of him. Rubbing his somewhat frozen hands, while joking with Prais next to him, he jumped off the horse and handed the reins of the horse to the guards behind him. The dust on his face was cold and flushed. ,

　　"This is actually the ancestral property of my family. Because I live in Palavin City all the year round, I have no spare money to repair this place. Your Majesty laughed!" Prais followed with a slightly awkward face. "It's better Let your subordinates find a better house in the town. It is really rude to come here to receive your Majesty!"

　　 "I think it's good here. As a soldier, I don't have to pay too much attention to it!" The fat man pushed open the rusty door and walked into the villa full of mildew inadvertently. The guards in front had already ordered Set up the candle in the room,

　　yīn In the dim light, almost cracked walls can be seen everywhere, after hundreds of years of rain and wind. The wooden doors and windows are rotten, the bricks are still solid, the yard is padded with large gray stones, and a large green moss has grown on the wall, which looks like a black spot from a distance. The horse was pulled to the stable behind by the guards, and the lobby and the rooms on the second floor were quickly cleared out.

　　 The fat man’s bedroom is the last one on the second floor, which can facilitate the prevention of emergencies and assassinations, if there are really unscrupulous people. In addition to flying in through the window, he has to pass through at least three levels. Ten guards guard the stairs leading to the second floor, another ten guards stand in the corridor leading to the second floor room, and finally there are 4 guards. The experienced captain of the guard guards the door of the room and a small bedroom outside the room.

　　 It was dead at night, but the fat man couldn't sleep a bit. He was hesitant to hold the list left by Multichoice in his hand. It was on this list. Some people's names were crossed over, and finally painted in black. It seems to have been denied, and it seems to be an unconscious scribbling. In choosing these candidates, the fat man is cautious and cautious,

　　Dorok was calm, but there was nothing to do. The fat man left Crolitsat in Aaron to take care of these affairs, allowing him to accumulate prestige and connections in Dorok, and to become the master of Doro. Gram prepares. Bosha Huali’s performance in Aaron was very successful, but what made the mainland sensational was that at the end of the performance, Aaron’s city guard also announced its dissolution, and the Dorok era was over.

　　 The citizens of Aaron who heard the news were silent, and did not know who was the first to stand up. Then everyone slowly stood up, and involuntarily began to sing the song "zì that the Aaron people used to be proud of.

　　yóu’s son"

　　 low and thick voice, with a historical melody. Like a circling note shining above Aaron’s firmament, on a tall building 500 meters away from the city square where the performance was performed,

　　 The fat man looked at all this coldly, the night wind blew his black hair, like a demon **** looking down at the vast living beings below, behind him, dozens of Falcon generals face each other. Serious and murderous, one hundred thousand Falcons have separately controlled Aaron's four gates, and 30,000 Kujit cavalry lined up outside the gates. No matter what happens, as long as an order is issued, the army will forcefully march into the city. All riots or resistance are crushed and crushed,

　　Finally, to the fat man’s expectation, Aaron didn’t happen that night. After singing zì

The Aaron people of 　　yóu’s son went home after the performance. There was no assembly, no incitement, not even a slogan. Only the once passionate singing seemed to be echoing in the fat man’s ears, and the fat man curled up deeply. In the brown wood bench, I got into deep consideration,

　　 Ikadiva is basically calm, but because of its excessive pursuit of military supremacy, in the country’s internal affairs, it almost completely adopts a military-political integrated management method. Reports from the south show that as the population gathers and With the emergence of a large number of emerging coastal cities, citizens are increasingly demanding urban management. Not only do they require the navy to ensure its safety, but it also strongly requires the navy to expand new trade routes and wealth

　　 In the inland areas, such as the three northern counties and the once prosperous land centers of Palavin, the government management and economic system construction have not been able to closely keep up with the semi-commercial and semi-official institutional structure of the business alliance. It can be an advantageous means for gathering supplies in a short period of time during wars, but in a peaceful era, it will undoubtedly form an absolute monopoly of interests and become a tool for large merchants to grab wealth

　　 is like the merchant turmoil that once occurred in Ruimir, which proves that the dislocation and ineffective supervision of certain links between business alliances are becoming the biggest hidden danger within the empire. The emergence of this hidden danger is, in the final analysis, a problem of talents.

　　Ikadiva has a small population, and after five hundred years of war and politicization, it is still inherently family-style. For this, fat people feel the most in some areas.

　　The power of the Presbyterian Church must be obeyed even by the Patriarch, not to mention the influence that the empire can exert on it. In the long run, these families are not equivalent to dú

　　lì outside of the management of the empire? This is absolutely forbidden by fat people, and what makes fat people most dissatisfied with is the entire continent of Ikadiva, except for the Paravin Academy and the single military academy owned by a few countries in Kyoto, almost even a decent school. No,

　　Knowledge and knowledge are still passed on in a simple way of dictation, which has counterbalanced the development of the imperial technology. Five years ago, he defeated the Kugits who invaded south by relying on crossbow arrows. Five years later, his army used it. Yes, it’s basically a crossbow arrow. Even if it’s something like Thor, it’s just a certain correction in terms of caliber and course. The reason is simple. There are too few talents that can come in handy in this regard, and there is no school. , The number of craftsmen seriously restricts the development of the military industry

　　 is like the list I see now. The supreme controller of his own empire can only rely on a dry list to choose the talents he needs. Those who can really manage the place can use the talent dilemma that can be imagined.

　　 But this is the status quo. Under the deformed military-political integration system, there are almost no local officials who can be directly appointed in the control area of ​​the empire. Basically, they are maintained by retired officers selected from the army. The empire is loyal and can meticulously execute the orders given above, but when it comes to effective management, it is nonsense. The area they can really manage may be the center of the town. As for the villages and farms near those towns, they are still basically empty. Manage status

　　 In addition to the issue of local and military talents, the expansion of army military academies and the regularization of the navy are also imminent, especially the navy, which is the arm of the empire extending beyond the mainland, and the current imperial navy is divided into private seas. The raiding fleet and the defense fleet in the inner sea,

　　With the continuous growth of the Navy and the increase in its troops, more and more talented commanders are needed. However, the Navy is not a service that can be achieved overnight, nor is it like the Army, which can be put on the battlefield and exercised. What can be achieved is that the requirements of naval officers are higher than those of army officers. In the vast seas, it is not only by bravery that they can win, but they must also have the acumen that ordinary people can hardly reach, and the great ambition of the ocean itself, such talents. Even if you choose from hundreds of thousands of armies, it is extremely rare.

　　 This is also the place where the fat man is worried. Hulun’s departure gave him a jǐng bell,

　　 The empire’s coastal defense is not assured on outsiders. Fatty intends to expand the enrollment of the Naval Academy in the chūn season, and the army will also carry out new integrations. But what makes Fatty think that if it can be another on the mainland It is also a good choice to set up an organization at one end to understand and recruit relevant talents from other continents, but where should this branch be established?

　　 The fat man frowned slightly in thought. At this time, he didn’t know that hundreds of years later, there would be such an article about "The Wings of Ambition" in an article titled "History of the Europa continent". Record

　　 Ikadiva’s last place of resistance, Aaron finally lowered his head, which had been so high for hundreds of years, to the Vicia Falcon~ IndoMTL.com~ Although this did not exceed most people’s expectations, It also caused a slight wave of fluctuations in the continent of Ikadiva. Dorok’s surrender represented the troubled times of the turmoil of the continent of Ikadiva for five hundred years. Finally, a terminator was drawn,

　　Although this short five-year unity war was so **** and cruel, it caused nearly 1.5 million soldiers and civilians casualties, but whether it was the Kujites in the north or the Swadian People and the rude people in the south are all in the melting pot of this turmoil, once again as if standing under a battle flag five hundred years ago, gathered in an ever-unfavorable war knife

　　 At this moment, what appeared in front of everyone was a population spanning more than 2,000 miles, with a population of 10 million, with 110,000 regular army, 70,000 light and heavy cavalry, 50,000 navy, and hundreds of vassal tribes from the southwest. From the top of the snow-capped mountains to the vast grasslands in the north, from the frozen sea to the mighty kingdom of Atami in the south,

　　When the dawn of dawn rises from the eastern horizon, it also illuminates the embryonic form of a powerful empire. Its open black wings are slowly shrouded in the northwest waters of the main continent, Obaro.

　　The continent of Obaro, which is in war, obviously didn’t notice much of this little guy with covetous eyes. The 10-meter wind and waves swelling in the far Northwest Sea blocked most people’s sight.

　　 The two most powerful empires on the continent are still vying for the heart of the continental boundary

　　ìSu Mande and fight,

　　 Everyone didn’t realize that on the opposite side of the Northwest Sea, there was an extremely sharp and deep gaze that crossed the boundary between sea and space, and was looking at the subject of Obalo with interest. The continental pattern was destined to be This changed! ----Excerpt from "The Sixth Volume of Obaro Continental History" by Ruikang
