Power and Empire Chapter 1789: The ambition of Central and Bahia (1)
[Dream has set sail] The sailing management team is eagerly recruiting new members! !
In the early morning, an attendant tremblingly pushed open the bedroom door, and lit a candlestick that was already full of tears with a candle. The dim yellow light awakened Hasen Rambo who was sleeping on the desk.
"My lord, there is an urgent order. The messenger of the order is waiting in the front hall, please come and meet me quickly." The attendant cautiously said to him
"emergency order"
Hasen Rambo tilted his aching neck, stretched his numb limbs, hurriedly put on his coat and rushed to the front hall. Before arriving, I saw a blazing fire that filled the entire hall. A group of emperor's guards in double-wing armor stood at the entrance of the hall, looking at him with a vigilant look
"The Emperor’s Guards? Didn’t it mean that the investigators had half a month to arrive? Why did they arrive early!"
Hasen Rambo’s tried-and-tested eyebrows furrowed slightly, and an unknown premonition rose in his heart. Walking into the hall, a tall and burly guard army commander had already waited and saw him walking up to meet him quickly. He lowered his helmet and bowed to salute. "Is this Lord Hasen Rambo? Hello, this is Eric, the captain of the seventh squadron of the Guards. I'm sorry to bother you."
"You are Eric!" Hasen Rambo paused his gaze, he turned out to be someone he knew, nodded and said, "I met you, last time I was from Kyoto to exchange Julius family for Julia Xiaoren Among sister's people, one is Philip from the Intelligence Department, and the other is you!"
" I didn’t expect Master Hasen Rimbaud to remember the small "Jersey Guard Eric laughed,
" It’s okay, I don’t want to prove myself. This is a letter from Algernon Julia Xiaoren, "Eric took a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Hasen Rambo, who was confused." Adults, please look at them. I believe that adults also know that Kyoto is thoroughly investigating the crimes of trafficking in military supplies. This time, I deliberately advanced the itinerary in order to eliminate the worms that sell military supplies as soon as possible. I also ask adults to help!"
"Help!" Hasen Rambo's heart trembled, and after receiving the secret letter, his face became ugly, and he suddenly became silent and silent
The situation is worse than he expected. This time, the Janissary Army took the initiative directly, indicating that the woman had made up his mind. In order to avoid accidents during the escort, the Janitor had the right to immediately catch the target. Executions do not require even the most basic review. Such a cruel woman, as long as there is a charge that does not need to be investigated, those who are dissatisfied with it will be cleaned up. As for the trafficking of military assets, it is in such a chaotic situation. It’s not just casually that the tens of thousands of troops on the Western Front were left behind for 2 months. The soldiers were hungry only to dig wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. Who would pursue such a crime! ,
"Master Hasen Rambo!" The commander of the Guards, Eric, saw Hasen Rambo fall silent, and his face suddenly became gloomy
" Ahem, the culprit of the reselling of military assets, isn’t it already in Kyoto?" Hasen Rambo coughed dryly, after a long period of wind and waves, he hadn’t seen any scenes, his face solemnly said, "Checked some time ago. It's very clear that it was the businessmen in the Northwest who were behind and confiscated the property of so many Northwesterners. The **** smell has drifted for more than a month, and now they are arresting people again. What the **** Sister Julia Xiaozhen is doing!"
" Please pay attention to your words, Lord Hasen Rambo! "Eric snorted very dissatisfied, and several guards immediately surrounded him with murderous vibes, seeing that the posture meant a direct action. A fiercely rushing guard held the sword directly, with killing intent flashing in his eyes
Feeling the cold in the atmosphere, Hasen Rambo's face is slightly cold, and he said bluntly
"Why? Do you still want to do something here? This is the headquarters of the Sixth Army. Three squadrons of the Sixth Army are stationed outside! As long as there is a little accident here, they will rush in and tear you up. Broken, in their eyes there is no majesty of the Janissaries!"
"Master Hasen Rambo, don't get me wrong! Young people are not sensible!"
Eric's face changed, only to realize that he was in Hasen Rambo's base camp, and he quickly lost a smile. He glared at the Janitor. He was Algernon Julia’s confidant. The Kyoto Incident was caused by him. The Ministry of Military Affairs was severely weakened in this incident, and the military power fell to Algernon Julia. In his hands, his status has risen accordingly. Although nominally he is still only the captain of the Imperial Guard, his supervision power is even higher than that of ordinary generals. For Hasen Rambo, the deceased imperial chief A general, he was so polite because of the fact that the other party had helped to redeem Algernon Julia,
According to the previous plan, if the other party has any objections to this matter, he does not mind immediately arresting Hasen Rambo, and he believes that Hasen Rambo, as the main commander of the Western Front Army, is responsible for the sale of military assets. There is an unshirkable responsibility. It is too easy to compile a crime, but I did not expect Hasen Rambo to be the kind of hard and soft.
took a deep breath, Eric suppressed his unwillingness, and said, "You don’t know the truth of the elimination of evil, right? A broken tree just shoveling away the dead branches is useless. You must get rid of the roots!"
The young guards had their nostrils in the sky, and said in an arrogant and cold voice, "And Sister Xiaoran had already received a secret report when she was in Kyoto. In the area where Lord Hasen Rambo was stationed, it is said that a large number of soldiers fled! Adults! Rather than worry about the moths, it’s better to pay more attention to this! If this situation continues to expand, I don’t know how many people will be left by Lord Hasen Rambo when the Northern Army arrives! Don’t let those guys in the Northern Army watch. A joke, if Sister Xiaoying asked me to bring it, I will bring it"
Eric finished speaking, haha, and left arrogantly with a group of guards. Just stepping out of the door of Hasen Rambo’s residence, Eric's face suddenly turned gloomy, his eyes gleaming. Silky cold air,
The Guards officer who was drawing the sword next to him asked curiously, "My lord, according to the plan, we will just get the old guy who got in the way, and we will be beaten like dogs by the Falcon Empire. What's the score of a famous general in front of us, as long as he is on the western front, we will have difficulty in arresting people. Even if he has three squadrons under his command, I don't believe that I have captured him, and the troops below dare to move!" /
"What do you know! Sister Xiaoyu said that Hasen Rambo is a tiger, cautious by nature, and has a perception that is different from ordinary people. Don't take it lightly if you don't have full confidence!" Eric looked at the top of his head. In the black sky, he said solemnly, "Don’t compare Hasen Rambo with the other generals. You can know how powerful he is just by seeing him repeatedly escape from the clutches of the Vickia Falcon’s destruction of the enemy. The falcon’s claws will always Not to be frustrated, this proverb that makes everyone feel frowned, is completely useless on this quiet and dynamic guy. The Eighth Army that was attacking at the same time in the early stage of the Battle of Rusty was strapped to the bones of the Falcons. Swallow it, but his Sixth Legion stubbornly held the Falcons’ offensive throughout the winter,
At the end of the Battle of Rusty, when the eastern and central lines fell completely, he stood on the western line for 18 days. Finally, in the encirclement and chase of the Falcons, he still fleeing and encircling the enclosure with tens of thousands of troops. At this moment, all the Gaul generals were trembling to see the Falcon flag. Only he dared to go up to the wind with a dozen guards and guards who insisted on patrolling the sideline once a day. To be fair, if Gao Lu's generals can be like him, the empire will not become what it is today in just two years! "
"Then why are you deliberately targeting him?" The Guards officer heard more and more doubts, why should such a famous general be treated like this?
"Appreciation is appreciation. The Battle of Rusty has shown that Hasen Rambo can't stop the Falcons!" Eric sighed. "The 110,000 troops of the Northern Army's westward march are about to arrive. The troops need A commander in chief, in terms of qualifications and fame, as well as the experience of fighting with the Falcons, Hasen Rambo is the best candidate. This is what Xiaojun does not want to see. The Northern Army is the last elite of the empire. If you can, Sister Xiaoying hopes to send a most trusted person to command! That's why it is necessary to severely suppress Hasen Rambo, and finally let him give up this idea directly!"
In the autumn harvest season in August, the golden wheat waves have turned into wheat stalks piled several meters high in the fields, and the smell of cooking smoke is wafting in the wind,
With a trace of obscurity and helplessness, Xu Lidong, the special envoy of the Central and Biyarian Empire, looked at the scene outside the carriage, the half-falling sunset shining on the river in front, and the stones and the water surface were glowing golden. After entering the Falcon Empire’s control area from the Gaul border, Xu Lidong showed special attention to everything outside the car window.
This is the first contact between the Central and Biyarian Empire and another powerful empire, the Falcon Empire. It seems that the Rusty area, which was rumored to have caused the Gauls to lose their troops, has basically returned to normal. Although the road is still a bit bumpy, it is already a very lush place compared with the large ruins on the border of the battle. An ordinary scene, but Xu Dongli feels a lot,
August was supposed to be a harvest season. In my homeland of Central and Biyaa, the barrenness of the fields became more and more serious due to the war. A large number of strong laborers were forced to join the army and were constantly consumed on the battlefield. Even with the real population foundation of the China-Biyadh empire, the shortage of human resources began to appear. Of course, the most important thing is that the most densely populated northern region of the Central-Byanian Empire, under the iron hooves of the nomadic Dongting people, the population has been reduced by 50%, and the large fertile land has become a no-man’s land where bones are left. There are only weeds as tall as people grow in the fields. As soon as the wind blows over, there is a sloshing sound that makes the whole body shake,
Dongting people do not have a tradition of managing population. In their eyes, people in the occupied areas are wastes of food, except for becoming slaves, and wastes have no value left.
should all be killed. The most valuable thing is to turn the blood-infested land into the most fertile pasture. This is the most direct idea of the Dongting nobles. They took the cavalry around to slaughter Zhongbi Yaren, turn the fertile fields into wasteland, and the cities of cities into dead areas, string the heads of the dead and hang them on the city gates. A string of skeletons make a trembling whine when the wind blows. Whine,
The brutal Dongting people firmly believe that what they are doing is the eternal life call. They are pursuing the eternal life’s will. There are corpses all over the country, and the city is ruined and homes are destroyed. One-tenth of the population of Central and Bahia just disappeared.
The once powerful empire was crushed by the rolling horseshoes from the grassland, and was overwhelmed by the scimitars of the grassland people. The northern part fell in a large area. The most anxious thing for the Chinese Empire is the large northern area. The iron ore of the East Court also fell into the hands of the East Court. In the past, the equipment of the East Court Cavalry was mainly leather armor. Nowadays, iron armor is becoming more and more popular. With enough iron for forging arrow clusters, the East Court Cavalry’s arrows are simply not needed. Money generally falls. In the past, the East Court cavalry had no more than 20 arrow clusters in the quiver. After shooting, they would draw their swords and charge. But now, one quiver is full of stuff, and the back is dragged by a carriage. With bundles of spare arrows, when you start a battle, you just shoot! Shoot! Shoot! , The infantry of the China-Biyah Empire could not bear such tactics, and they were all about to become phobic. This year, the report submitted by the forging officer also made the emperor of the China-Biyah empire panic.
Now it’s the turn of the Central Bian Empire to lack iron. There are not many iron ore in the southern part of the Central Bian Empire. Soldiers on the front line will face a miserable situation with no arrows to shoot and no armor to cover,
Thinking about fighting against the prairie cavalry, there is no arrow cluster available, no iron armor to block, it is simply the fate of being slaughtered,
Since there is no one in China, the Central-Byanian Empire put the idea on the Gauls. Everyone has been fighting for so many years. The Gaul’s extremely poorly motivated whole body heavy armored infantry regiment has always been used by the Central-Byanian Empire. The object of ridicule, but now, it is beginning to make the people of Central and Biyarian feel jealous. How much iron is needed for the iron bumps of that legion by legion!
"My lord, will the Falcon Empire really agree to our deal?"
Gong Sunliang, the deputy ambassador, sat on the opposite side of Xu Dongli and asked uneasyly. He looked out the window of the carriage with some flustered eyes. They were originally ordered to go to Gaul to negotiate the arms trade, but they were in Kyoto in Gaul. It took two months to discover that the whole of Kyoto is about to become a big foundry. The speed of 20,000 sets of infantry armor every month is not unbelievable. However, in the face of a huge gap, the number of weapons is even more than one's own. I can’t take care of it, it’s impossible to supply China and Biya for a short time,
"This is not a solution!"
Together, the two people with important tasks continue to go west. I heard that it is because of the rise of a terrible opponent in the west of Gaul that the talents of Gaul have fallen into such a tragic situation. More than a dozen subordinates spent more than a month traversing the entire Gaul. Along the way, they heard rumors about how cruel Falcon Junrui was. Both of them wanted to turn around and go back several times, but they thought of disasters. Difficult people from China and Biyah thought of the imperial warriors who needed armor and weapons to resist the invasion of the steppes. The two bit their heads and continued to the west. On a clear afternoon, the mission passed Gaul with a desperate heart. The control area of the Falcon Empire entered the control area of the Falcon Empire. The Falcon Empire cavalry patrolling along the way thought that the opponent was a caravan, so they let it go without too much embarrassment.
Seeing the so-called brutality, it is the peacefulness of the harvest in various places. Some lands can be seen in the intensive cultivation of fields, which are not at all the sparse wheat that grows out of the ground by grabbing a few seeds at random. Pete, when passing a river, the eyes of the two suddenly became inseparable from the driving window.
A giant roulette-like thing several meters directly on the edge of the river attracted their attention. The water hit the disk, and bursts of white splashes appeared. The roulette was rotated by the impact of the water. With the water card, you can easily pour the lower river water into the waterways, and the river water follows the stone-stacked waterways into the high fields.
" is such an incredible thing! "As one of the foundry officials, Xu Dongli's eyes were almost swayed by the water channels. He irrigated the fields without using any manpower. In this way, his perception of the Falcon Empire was upside down. This was still in the battlefield area. I don’t know what other areas would look like. Three days later, the mission entered the prosperous southwest area, and a team appeared on the side of the mission. Guarding black armored cavalry, these cavalry are all caged in black armor, although it is a little darker, but they have a gloomy luster~IndoMTL.com~The above cavalry looks sturdy and murderous. Teng Teng, at first glance, is a real elite unit. Although I have known from the Gauls that these cavalry with black armor all over, they are actually the extremely noble Central Army of the Falcon Empire.
The weapon is not the ordinary and common large and heavy bow and arrow spears, but a bow archer called a crossbow, with an arc-shaped long sword slung at the waist, and a cavalry spear hung on the side of the horse. It is these strange-looking weapons that make the Falcon Army powerful.
According to the Gauls, the crossbows behind these Falcon cavalry can shoot through targets 200 meters away, and the arc-shaped long sword on the waist can cut through the strongest armor.
There is also a huge crossbow that is as big as a bed frame, which can shoot up to 500 meters, and a weapon that can be like a thunderbolt. That is the real big killer. Just the sound can do it. Scared the recruits who were on the battlefield for the first time
Previously, Xu Dongli thought it was the Gauls' exaggeration to the enemy in order to cover up their failure.
But when I saw a fat Chinese man in black armor, he rode a horse and raised a crossbow shooting equipment with his hands, and with one arrow he nailed a big wild boar that sprang out of the roadside forest to the ground. , Xu Dongli's gaze was so bright that he couldn't do without that crossbow anymore, his saliva was about to come down, it was simply an artifact to deal with the prairie cavalry!
