Power and Empire Chapter 1881: Shinkyo Turbulence (4)
In December on the frozen ground, the wind and snow finally covered the entire land of Obaro in the north-central region. The luxurious palace hall with snow drifted all over the sky. In this year, it was full of the turbulence and ruthlessness of the wind and rain. Luo said that the battlefield in the north-central part of the central and northern part of Europe is like a series of stage dramas that dazzled the countries to watch, and at the same time, it is also like an earthquake with the hegemony of the two regions as the core." The central and northern part of Europa is now full of flames. The hegemony of the two major regions began to fight at the same time. The last time this happened was when the Holy Empire, which controlled most of the Obaro region, collapsed.
In the northern battlefield, the Falcon Empire changed its previous passive position after the Battle of Rathdi and turned into an active offensive in an all-round way. First, Wanqi swept the Gaul hinterland and occupied the upper hand in the Gaul Kyoto battle, and then the infantry swarmed with The counter-attack gesture took the northern Gaul and the outside of Kyoto in one fell swoop, and launched a strategic encirclement of Gaul Kyoto from the northwest. By mid-December, the 200,000 troops of Gaul Kyoto had fallen without a fight.
"It's terrible!" The European countries with various speculations about the battle for the hegemony of the North are shocked. The undefeated record of the Falcon Empire emperor Vicia Falcon is the attitude of the European countries. Different, in just two years, the Gaul Empire, which is in the midst of the sky, has been transformed into the current precarious look, replaced by a tremor that everyone feels from the heart. In just two years, the two sides fought more than one million troops. This It is definitely an empire-level contest. When a small country is involved, it will be wiped out immediately. The hegemony of the Gaul empire that has been in the north for three hundred years has fallen, which has become the bitter result of this empire war. There is no longer that. The fool regards the Falcon Empire rising on the northwest coast as a group of barbarians,
"The Star Demon Lord!"
went viral in all areas of Central Europe,
The Falcon Empire led by the legendary county emperor. Just as a falcon looking down on the earth spreads its wings soaring to cover the sky north of Obaro,
This time, no one will still think that the Gaul Empire can continue to persevere. Some countries that had good relations with the Gaul Empire immediately changed their attitudes and turned to the Falcon Empire’s camp, and showed friendship to this newly rising northern power. , Signing a trade treaty and sending ambassadors, the situation in the north is changing rapidly and drastically.
Then the former feuds and grievances between Gangfei and the Istanians in the central battlefield broke out at the same time. The precarious Gangfei empire suffered the cruelest test since the founding of the country. It was also the little emperor of the climate, and the ministers who thought about each other. The mutual accusations between the main battle faction and the main peace faction corresponded to the ambitious emperor of Istanbul showing the dominance of the world in Central Obalo.
In the Kingdom of Palobia, where astrology is prevalent, the 87-year-old Kingdom Master of Astronomy, Luo Aksu, insisted on supporting his old body and slowly walked up to the stargazer and raised his head, his bubbling eyes suddenly saw the sky. The magnificent white starlight drags its long tail across the sky, almost covering the entire sky starlight,
Luo Asuk's expression was dull, his lips trembled, and the northern lips that shook for a long time when he stretched out his fingers to the shooting star and spit out a word, "Moving stars across the sky!" This is a sign that appeared when the current situation changed three hundred years ago! The source of the turbulence is in the north! "On the same day. Astrologers in the Inner Sea of Central Europe continue to say that various unknown stars in the sky have been found in the northern sky. This meteor shower that has been in the inner sea in early December inadvertently shook butterflies in the situation in Obaro. Wings,
Regarding these rumors, someone who was hidden as the source of the turmoil sneered, sitting in the military tent, and received a string of roast lamb from the beautiful apprentice, while looking at the talk and book sent by the Gauls. , The corner of his mouth smiles coldly
"Teacher, I heard some rumors from the South recently, I don't know if I should say it!"
Besukaya wore a green dress and sent a long and full right leg underneath, which made the fat man forget to appreciate her wonderful curves for a while. Holding more than a dozen iron rods in his hand, turning over the fire, the golden lamb squeaked, and the seductive smell of meat filled the military tent, he said carefully
"Rumor?"
The fat man raised his head, his face was stunned, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. "You mean the rumor of the chaotic star, how can you believe it, but it is a meteor shower that can be seen by the naked eye. Some people use it to target us. That's it!" The fat man smiled, bit the lamb skewers into his mouth, and said as he ate, "And I'm sure it must have been instructed by Gang Fei behind his back. I don’t know who’s clumsy, and I don’t know. Time is smoother. If I were to operate this matter, I would definitely not only start a few horoscopes, at least artificially create some abnormalities to be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!"
"The teacher has already heard about it!"
Bezukaya's pink and white face showed a hint of relaxation, "Just inhuman? Are they still asking us for help? Why are they targeting us specifically?" Bezukaya's eyes flashed with a moving look. He was surprised that the fat man said that he wanted to create a few abnormalities. "It turns out that these celestial phenomena can still be used in this way. The teacher's vision is always the most practical and wise. It makes people feel the most wise!"
"Hehe, the Gangfei people ask us for help, but they are also not friendly to us! To put it bluntly, we are enemies. Both we and the Gangfei people know that there must be a war between the two countries!"
The fat man rolled up the peace proposal in his hand, and smiled at the surprised and beautiful apprentice, "Our move to make Putau a country has clearly shown that we are asking for the idea of the South Coast. Non-humans are not stupid. They are overwhelmed by the pressure of the Istanbul. Now, in order to keep Kyoto, they will only accept our terms, but they will definitely stumble, such as the rumor you mentioned, which is obviously An excuse to let the Central European and Romanian countries isolate us! Remember, the relationship between the country and the country is never a separate friendship and hatred. In many cases, you must be able to clearly distinguish your friends!"
"That's it!"
Besukaya stood up, put the grilled lamb skewers on the plate, walked slowly towards the fat man, held a pot of hot water next to the fat man, and put a cloth towel in hot water. "At the Fat Man" teacher, how do you respond to this half of Gaul’s talk? "Bezukaya asked gently." Gaul Kyoto offered to arm the war with 10 million gold coins, and was willing to use the wall rock fort as the boundary to occupy the current empire. All areas of China are allocated to the Empire, and the conditions are very good, but I always feel that something is wrong and I don’t know where it is."
The fat man took up a cloth towel and wiped his hands, and said solemnly, "You are right, the conditions are indeed very good, but for the brutal war for more than two years, we have paid 100,000 casualties. The compensation is far from enough, and the opponent of the northern hegemony has not given up the idea, but is waiting for the opportunity to counterattack appropriately!"
The fat man put down the cloth towel, and the voice paused, staring at the outside of the tent and saying, "For the real enemy, if you want to be completely wiped out, if you want, let him never get a chance to turn over, otherwise one day, this poisonous snake will bite back. Take a bite! Gauls belong to this category. If it weren’t for the fact that there are too many Gauls and the occupied areas also need to be comforted, I wouldn’t even give them a half-talk.
" told the Gauls that if you want to talk about peace, you must hand it over in the Kyoto area, and the nine counties in the east, including Benson, Ellio, and Kadukuli, must also be handed over to us. The fat guy is just talking about the map. In the previous stroke, all three-quarters of Gaul’s area will be entered into, and it will become a large kingdom with all the talents we need, otherwise we will directly defeat the Gaul Kyoto and grab it ourselves!"
The territory of this large kingdom not only contains several small princes in the east, but also contains the four major governing areas of Gaul East. Once Gaul Kyoto really agrees to this condition, not only will it no longer have a chance to compete. The hegemony of the North, and it will be trapped in long-term disputes with the region.
Under the Gaul Kyoto city, the temporary establishment will talk a little bit
Looking at Gaul Tanban, who is on the opposite side of the table, with white sideburns, representing Duke Oren, Deputy Chief of the Military Affairs Department, Bezukaya handed over the revised negotiation paper and said with an expression, "This is what we can promise. You know that your majesty has a bad temper. If it weren’t for worrying about the death of a large number of civilians if you break through Kyoto, your majesty would not agree to negotiations!"
"Civilian death! Does that devil still worry about civilian death? Wherever the Falcon Army passes, there is no grass and corpses everywhere...
. . "A young officer sitting next to the Duke of Oren said angrily, if it hadn't been for seeing the Falcon Empire negotiator Bezukaya as a magnificent beauty, it might be even more ugly to say it,
Besukaya stood up with a plain expression, "If you don’t want to talk, then forget it! In fact, I also think that half of the talk will be unnecessary! What we need, we can get it ourselves!"
This cold beauty is already fifteen years old. She has completely inherited the coldness and slenderness of the cold people. After washing her previous weak image, she has a faint queen-like courage, especially from the fat man, Gaul. The compensation conditions are so simple, it is inevitable that there will be a trace of anger in my heart
"his" The Gaul on the opposite side was stunned. The officer couldn’t say anything with his mouth wide open. No one thought that this beautiful woman who looked like a snow fairy would have such a strong personality. , What does it mean to get it by yourself! It’s too arrogant. Is that the character of the Falcon Empire?
"You robbers..." The officer's body shivered with anger
" Come here, lock up Limmt! "The gray-haired Duke of Oren stood up angrily, looking coldly at the spoiler officer, and the guards dragged the officer out forcibly
"I'm sorry, my lieutenant is a bit reckless, I hope it doesn't bother the talk half!" Duke Oren stretched out his hand to apologize, glanced over the talk half paper, raised his head, stared at him, and asked condensedly. "Excuse me, Sister Xiaoying, abandoning Kyoto, abandoning the nine eastern counties, but also contributing a large number of craftsmen and engineers, what is left in Gaul?
" Gaul still exists at least! And you still have the territory of a kingdom! "Bezukaya has been looking at each other without fear, and said with a serious expression." What you have lost is only your ambition and desire for revenge. Hope is the possibility to rekindle the flames of war!"
"This woman! "Even the Duke of Oren, who has always maintained his demeanor and calmness, has changed his face under such sharp words.
He wanted to bully Bezukaya’s inexperienced shortcomings, as much as possible to reduce the loss of Gaul’s negotiation, money can be thrown away, the occupied land can be thrown away, and even some talents can be given up, as long as it can be saved. Kyoto, to preserve the east that is still intact, Gaul does not have the opportunity to rise again, but the other side can see through the smog he has laid down at a glance, pointing directly to the core of the battle for hegemony in the north. This war can only Ended up with a complete abandonment by one party!
"Is there no other alternative content?" The Duke of Oren's voice trembled with a hint of pleading, and he hoped to make some final efforts.
"This is what my majesty meant, and it is also our ultimatum. If there is no reply before this afternoon, it will be the end of the armistice! Tomorrow we will attack the city with a large force!" Besukaya stood at the table He got up, a trace of sadness flashed on his pretty face, and he saluted the Duke of Oren, and turned around with the personnel of the Falcon Empire, leaving behind a group of Gauls who looked like frost hit the eggplant
"What should I do with this negotiation paper?’
Duke Oren's fingers trembled slightly, feeling that the half-talk book in his hand was as hot as a hot soldering iron. Gaul Kyoto was already unable to fight anymore, but taking such a negotiation book back would be destined to be nailed to the shame of history. Thinking that his name would be recorded in the annals of history like those who are not reputed in history, Duke of Oren's mind is completely blank
"My Lord Duke!" At this moment, an attendant wearing blue satin ran in panic and whispered in the ear of Duke Oren, "Your Majesty is dead!"
"What!" The Duke of Oren heard his eyes wide as a coin. It is no secret that the emperor is critically ill. Even the doctors made it possible that this winter will not be possible, but at this critical moment, anyone can leave, only the emperor. Can't
Now the people of Gaul and Kyoto are in panic, and the emperor’s death will undoubtedly cause great turmoil. He looks at the half-talk that is destined to become the watershed of the Gaul empire, and looks at the imperial wall that is as strong as ever. , Sighed secretly, "Is this God's will?"
In the Gallic Palace, too late to express too much grief seems to have made up a certain determination, Algernon Lelia in a white skirt stepped up the steps
"Sister Lelia!"
Two guards with serious faces, their bodies as straight as swords, stood in front and opened the door in front of her together, giggling, as the door was opened, light was drawn in, and the meeting room was full of Gaul guards. The military officer, seeing Algernon Lelia walk in, all the Janissaries stood up and looked over with hot eyes. Regardless of the public opinion, it was this woman who supported the country! This woman has an impeccable reputation for her loyalty to the emperor. Similarly, the emperor has issued a secret order. If she dies, this woman will be responsible for all the affairs of the Imperial Guard.
"Your Majesty is gone, I hope you will do your best for the emperor!" Algernon Lelia said in a cold tone, standing on the meeting platform, and bends deeply towards the guards present. Salute, say slowly, "Everyone, let’s start! For the future of the empire, for the emperor!"
"Yes! Sister Lelia!" The officers replied neatly, the sound-vibrating conference room rumbled, and the eyes of more than 300 people were bloodshot, and none of them closed their eyes.
The Guards quickly met to lock down the entire city of Kyoto. The streets and alleys were filled with troops to avoid the riots that might be caused by the emperor’s departure. The Guards’ swords were drawn out, and patrols controlled the city. A series of orders followed Under the order, gatherings of more than three persons are prohibited, and banquets and singing are prohibited. . . . . .
. .
There are also some key figures that may affect Kyoto and have strengthened "surveillance." The troops of the Imperial Guard drove into the four major ruling mansions directly in the name of protection, and their swords were drawn! Many nobles in Kyoto have smelled the blood of the blade about to unsheath, and no one thought that the woman would be so harsh when she shot,
"Send someone to take a look, what's going on in front?" For four days, Michelando, one of the consuls in the east, walked out of the bedroom blankly. He heard noises coming from outside and servants running around. The guard disappeared. A thin, cold-looking young officer in the uniform of the Imperial Guard brought a group of soldiers to him
"Is this the Archon Michelangelo?" The young officer saw him~IndoMTL.com~ walked directly,
"Yes, who are you?" Michelangelo felt the other person’s gaze like a cone of ice, and nodded involuntarily
"Come on, catch this traitor!" The officer's mouth was cold, and he waved his hand
"You guys, what do you want to do! I'm the Michelangelo of the four in the East." Michelangelo was swarmed by the soldiers and wanted to struggle. When a soldier raised the hilt, he slammed it on the head and passed out. In the past, the officer walked to the small courtyard outside. Under the long guns of the Imperial Guard, more than thirty guards from Michelangelo who put down their weapons crowded together. Seeing the murderous soldiers around trembling, the officer waved "According to The emperor’s order, Michelangelo was treasonous and rioted, and the crime was extremely heinous. All his entourages were executed!" Suddenly it seemed to blow up the pot, shouting grievances, "My lord, beg you! Wrong! We did nothing! "
"What are you still hesitating, clean up now!"
The officer sternly said, the Janitor pikemen rushed up to the group of entourages and stabbed them. The corpses were spread across the small courtyard, blood flowing out of the door..., the officer looked at this scene with a cold expression, his mouth was light. Mindful of "Your sin is to do nothing when something should be done! Whoever does it first can survive"
At the same time, the fat man waiting for a reply outside Gaul’s Kyoto city also received news of the death of Emperor Gaul, he shuddered and jumped from his seat. The blood is flowing in Kyoto! (To be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team@我若写情书]
