Power and Empire Chapter 2561: Imperial Wind (36)

The hilly area of ​​southern Istan ushered in the largest snow since the beginning of winter, as if white covering the world in front of you, the cold wind roared with large patches of snowflakes hitting the face, and the horse's hoof fell to a horse's ankle. Keng, under such heavy snow, a middle-aged Istanian nobleman whose body was almost covered by wind and snow and turned into a snowman, the stubble that was carefully maintained in the past was frozen into ice, and he glanced lamentingly at the front, and it seemed that there was no end. In the snowy field of China, the body is almost completely lying on the horseback, and both feet are tightly tied to the war horse with leggings. There is only one purpose of this, that is, even if the person faints, he still won’t get on the horseback. Falling down, the only thought in the middle-aged Istanbul aristocrat was to keep moving forward, "How far is it from Gangwa?" This middle-aged Istanbul aristocrat stood up and cheered up,

"My lord, we should be in the Allen Hills in the south, about a hundred miles away from Gangwa!" A cavalry guard who is familiar with the terrain glanced around, glanced at the heavy snow on the top of his head, and exhaled a thick white Angrily said, "If the snow stops tonight, you should be able to reach Gangwa tomorrow. If the snow doesn't stop, it's hard to say!"

"How many days have we been out?"

"Eleven days!"

"Go ahead!" The middle-aged nobleman took a deep breath and rubbed off the ice and snow from the stubble with his hands, revealing the face of a determined middle-aged man, with a refined temperament, but pale Many, if anyone sees it now, they will never believe that this nobleman, who is almost like a tramp, will be the governor of Sarum in the Kabul province in northern Istanbul, known as the Pearl of Istanbul.

A dozen cavalry guarded by the Marquis of Sarum, and the whole queue marched southward in a single line. Even though everyone was tired and wanted to die, his face was cold with snow condensed and his eyes were red like rabbits. , There is still no one to stop the horses hoof heading south, but they can’t run fast anymore. It is completely driven by the horse’s instinct towards the front,

Their target is Gangwa in the south. ▉▋E▋小▊Said Wangom▉Gangwa is a major city in southern Istanbul, and is also the location of the current headquarters of the Falcon Emperor ** in the Istanbul regional army. At this time, it has been a month since the North-South War, and it has crushed six countries and seven. An imperial army of one hundred thousand coalition forces. Not only has it shocked the entire south, but it has also completely made the governors of the Istan region subjugate their ministers.

Imperial General Varisian, who has already practiced in Feishan, is once again ordered to rectify the Istanbul region. Varisian is well aware of the nature of the governors of these regions. With the absence of the central government, many people have become accustomed to the wait-and-see mentality. They clearly don’t have much capital in their hands and are still holding bargaining calculations. The governors of Istanbul in the south are pretty good. , The governors all rolled their tails one by one. In the final stage of the North-South war, the governors of the South expressed their sincerity. "≤"≤novel "≤net, www.　.≤ also took out all the troops in his hand, whether it was a regular army or a miscellaneous army, altogether 50,000 or 60,000 people, and fiercely fled south to the south. The coalition forces fought several blocking battles and suffered heavy casualties. Now even if there are some left in their hands, it is no longer a concern. What worries Varisian is the governors of northern Istanbul.

During the North-South War. The North did not make any effort, and later saw that the wind was not in the right direction, and hurriedly joined the empire. Now the war is over. The governors in the north returned to a wait-and-see posture again, thinking that the Falcon Empire wanted to swallow Istanbul in one bite, and why they had to adopt a gentle strategy to win over the hearts of the people. In this way, everyone can go back to the spring breeze of the Falcon Empire, no matter how good they are. Of gaining a capital to enter the body. The north is not a border military town, and has not been regarded as a military barrier by the Istanian Empire. Therefore, the prosperity of the northern region is worse than that of the south, but the military is not as powerful as the south. The south has been fighting against the south for a long time, and the mountainous and hilly areas cannot last long. The place where recuperation was carried out, most of the soldiers from the Istan Empire era were transferred from the southern region.

After the early rebellion and the ravages of the Six Nations Allied Forces, the population economy in the South has also fallen to its lowest level in 30 years. On the contrary, the North has not been ravaged by the rebellion and the Six Nations Allied Forces. The population cities remain intact. The empire has entered the Istanbul region. It’s not an easy task to reorganize the governors in the north in a succinct name

Considering that the reorganization of the north will encounter resistance, Varisian also reported to the fat man after accepting the order. In the case of the north, the integration of gentle means may not be effective, and the use of strong military means is afraid that it will be good. A northern part of Istanbul was destroyed, and the fat man responded to Varysian’s suffering

"The empire will order all governors of the provinces of Istanbul to report to Gangwa, the headquarters of the emperor within a certain period of time. Those who fail to meet the deadline will be dismissed immediately!" This opinion stunned Varisian. What kind of opinion?

The report transmitted from the Imperial Admiralty made it difficult for Varisian, who was thinking about how to rectify the governor of Istanbul. Don’t regard himself as the highest military commander of the empire in Istanbul, holding hundreds of thousands of troops in the empire. Condescendingly, no one dared to raise their heads in the entire south, but when it came time to mobilize the army, without the order of His Majesty Falcon, these hundreds of thousands of troops could not be mobilized at all. The Erot Empire went to war on Aden, and Varysian instinctively followed I smelled an opportunity inside, but the order from His Majesty Falcon was "watch the changes, without an order, absolutely can't send troops without authorization!"

This is totally inconsistent with Your Majesty Falcon. In the past, you must take a bite to see the benefits. Where is the "change" in your Majesty Falcon's order?

Varisian can only hold back his eagerness, fix his gaze on the Cornelia battlefield, watch the 300,000 troops of the Erot Empire pounce on the Cornelia area, and watch the Aden Army rescue wildly. A three-hundred-li-long Cornelia corridor. The two armies’ combined forces were nearly half a million strangled together. They were almost turned into a **** corridor. In the end, the Eero talents had a difficult battle in a month later, Aden People are unwilling to evacuate

Varisian can understand that the goal of the Erot Army is not Cornelia, who is lonely, but the main force of the hundreds of thousands of frontiers rescued by Aden.

If the purpose of attacking Cornelia is the purpose of the Eero Army, it will not even take half a month to take Cornelia, and the Eero Army’s offensive has been very fast from the beginning, which can be said to be unexpected and unprepared. The model is definitely a long-planned operation. One hundred thousand rebels marched in, and then the troops under the banner of crusade entered, linking this link, but as soon as the Aden people were dispatched, the situation immediately changed. The 100,000 rebels clearly changed. Can quickly hit Cornelia in one breath, but deliberately slowed down the process. E Xiao ▊ ▉ said ▉ ▌ the Eero army that cut behind the net █ instead spread out the front line of the army, with their canine teeth staggered. It was obviously a trick of weaving a net to hunt, and finally a fatal blow to the logistics line. If it weren’t for the Aden’s frontier army to run fast, hundreds of thousands of people would be wiped out by the Erot Army

"This report is immediately forwarded to Your Majesty!"

Varisian folds the report in his hand with a serious expression and hands it to the adjutant who comes in. The Governors of Istanbul who have come to report have reached seven or eight. This is the time. Only then did Varisian feel the stubbornness of His Majesty Falcon’s hand. The north is difficult to govern because these governors are there. That is their territory. Now they are transferred from their original areas. What they want to do is not The meaning of empire,

Set the meeting point to Gangwa in the south. The governors in the south are better. The distance is three or four days, and the distance is seven or eight days. It’s always possible to get there, but the governors in the north are complaining. From the north to the south of Istanbul, even if it’s the fastest horse, it’s eleven or two days’ journey, and it’s a dozen days of bumps on the horse’s back. , Even if it is a strong man made of steel, his **** has to be broken into several pieces,

What's more, the northern part of Istanbul is the core area of ​​the Istanian Empire, and the proportion of civilian officials serving as governors is much higher than that in the south. It is conceivable that a group of civil servants, who were engulfed in the wind and snow, went south and arrived at Gangwa. I am afraid that they also lost most of their lives. In the ice and snow, the cold half-dead, just want to get to the place as soon as possible, what bargaining calculations, what kind of audacity, I don't know where I left it. The so-called deadline is actually a warning to the governors of the north. As long as it is not out of date, the empire can naturally have a legitimate reason to remove the north governors who are not under control

The fat man who received an urgent report from Varisian has no intention of intervening in the war between the Eero Empire and the Adenites. The Empire is not a savior, and the waters of the Eero-Adenite war are too muddy, Eero The empire is planning to go deep into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Aden. Why didn't the people of Aden intend to lure the Erot Army to go deeper, otherwise the withdrawal of the hundreds of thousands of frontier troops would be so timely. The two countries have been fighting each other for a hundred years. Who doesn't know who? If the Kingdom of Aden were destroyed so easily, then the Kingdom of Aden would have been destroyed many times, but Emperor Eero was a little too confident and eager, otherwise there might not be some clues.

Fatty is now fully arranging the affairs of the Imperial Bank. After all, military expansion is limited, and the attitude that affects it. After the First World War, hundreds of thousands of troops were mobilized and consumed, and the reconstruction of the area was destroyed. Economic expansion is better,

The southern powers are now overwhelmed. The rapid expansion of the power of these small and medium-sized countries has also touched the sense of crisis in the surrounding countries. You expand the army, I also expand the army, you buy weapons, I also buy weapons, it is invisibly caused The military competition in the entire region, some poor countries, in order not to be crushed by this competition, have begun to sell royal jewelry in private,

There are more and more content signed by the Imperial Bank. Most of the loaned money flows back to the empire from military expenditures for the purchase of weapons. By March, the empire’s trade in arms exports to the South has tripled. With the precedent of the Paput Kingdom, the Imperial Bank has now signed contracts with seven small and medium-sized countries on the southern coast of Obaro, and has taken over a hundred-year mortgage of nine coastal ports, and more than a dozen mines and mines. All kinds of regional resources can be said to have opened up in the south. This is much stronger than the previous effort to get a Kailuo port from the hands of the Eero.

Imperial Bank’s expansion in the inner region of the empire is also very fast. Ever since the Empire Bank became famous at the business alliance headquarters meeting, it showed a strong background, and then the governor of the southwestern region of the empire’s most prosperous province, Salon, It also expressed the welcome for the Imperial Bank branch to enter the southwestern district,

In April, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Imperial Kyoto loaned 60 million yuan to the Imperial Bank for construction in various places. At this time, the reputation of the Imperial Bank has been completely established in the empire

Different from the business alliance’s main business, the Imperial Bank’s main business is loans and deposits. In particular, the Imperial Bank has introduced a measure that merchants can receive interest after deposits reach a certain amount, which can be described as a shock in the entire empire. In the past, merchants needed to pay a storage fee to save money in the business alliance, but the Empire has interest to take, which is almost unheard of. Although the interest is negligible, the only savings in storage costs are not small. Numbers, as for the credibility of the Imperial Bank, it is guaranteed by the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs and confirmed by the Southwestern Region of the Empire. Even the imperial chief executive Crolitsat is backed by the imperial business queen Socutus Delan personally controls it. What else could be wrong? With the rapid rise of the Imperial Bank, the commercial nature of the business alliance has become more prominent. The loan function that originally belonged to the business alliance has been replaced by the Imperial Bank, which holds 80 million business alliance gold tickets.

When the warm thump in the face in the early summer of May, the Imperial Bank has completely become a part of the empire’s economy. Deposits and loans are not limited to the south and the empire, but those in the northwestern part of the Obaro have surrendered to the empire. Kingdom also began to lend to the Imperial Bank,

The purpose of the loans of these kingdoms is not to purchase weapons and expand their armaments, but to purchase merchant ships to form caravans, build domestic road facilities, and the development of the empire’s commerce industry, so that these submissive kingdoms begin to consciously rely on the empire. In this economic core circle, there was a rare period of peace in the empire. The main empires stationed in the Istanbul region began to withdraw from their respective stations in April, leaving only the 200,000 army garrison of Varisian. After the area was reorganized, it was re-planned by the empire into seven southern provinces of Istanbul and four northern provinces of Istanbul. Although the positions of the governors were retained, the jurisdiction of each region was taken over by administrative officials sent by the empire.

"Your Majesty, after the Eero Army captured the Philo Oasis of the Kingdom of Aden~IndoMTL.com~, it was counterattacked by the Aden Army. More than half of the battle was damaged. Emperor Eero was seriously injured and was retreating in a hurry!"

In July, in the office of the Red Palace of the Imperial Kyoto, the fat man drinking cold water finally waited for the result of the battle between the Eero Empire and the Kingdom of Aden. Although the Eero Army had a certain advantage in the early stage, he took it all at once. The four oases on the periphery of the Kingdom of Aden were still unacceptable. It was even more foolish to try to compete with the Aden people in the desert area. As a result, the two desert heavy regiments were transferred back by the Aden people from South Central Pia. Slapped hard,

The emperor Eero, who likes to calculate, is said to be slashed on the arm by the Aden Camel Cavalry. According to reason, this is not a fatal wound. The problem is that it is in the middle of the desert. Encountered sandstorms, wound infections, and now the entire Eero country is in chaos. This situation is like when the emperor of Istanbul died in battle, and all the domestic forces wanted kingship.

What’s even more chaotic than in Eero is that the entire south is completely out of control.

The medium-strength Kingdom of Conson first declared war on the small kingdom of Ambia. The Kingdom of Paput sent troops again and captured the Nanan Phu area in one breath. The Kingdom of Fazer sent a special envoy to request peace with the Empire and was willing to cede a port as compensation. In the face of such chaos, I couldn't bear it, and the chaos in the south broke out completely. . . . . . (To be continued.)
