Power and Empire Chapter 2506: Thunderstorm (26)
"Although I am a descendant of slaves, I am a scholar. I need a scholar’s living environment. The masters still value the capable slaves of descendants. My master gave me books and asked me to "Teach those noble children" Luandribia saw the fat man's slightly frowning brows, and out of fear of the occupier, he quickly explained that his face hesitated
" And there are so many slaves, which is not something we can manage. Sometimes, I will also teach my students to treat their slaves better."
"Okay, let’s go down first. This is the end of the meeting tonight. Someone will send some books in the past tomorrow. You only need to translate them into Fei Ze text. The salary will definitely satisfy you!" A little disappointed, the fat man shook his hand, and he could see that the Luande Libyan scholar had become a slave to the master's side. Just as Dusterenkai was surprised, the Fazer noble who escaped was only three or four. Thousands of people, and there are seventy to eighty thousand slaves who fled with the master of slaves. I am afraid that many of the slaves who escaped are like the old man in front of them. Generations of people obey a family. Consciously regard himself as a slave who is on the side of the master.
"Of course, I will do my best!"
Luandria turned and left, sweating profusely. For him, the experience just now was as terrible as surviving from the mouth of a beast. Which young imperial general does not seem to be as rumored by the outside world. It’s brutal, but if you look at the imperial army patrolling the streets, you know that the young general may only need to express his dissatisfaction with a little bit, and he might immediately disappear from the world!
Looking at the back of Luandribia, who had fled in a panic, disappeared at the door, the fat man stretched his waist, and roughly looked at the layout of the area. It should be the bedroom of a Fazer nobleman, with carved mermaid decorations. The golden bed has white four-corner curtains hung on it. The four corners are dragged with golden twisted ropes. Below the twisted ropes are satin-like tassels. The four bookshelves are filled with books, although the text on them is not I know, but I can see that the original owner of this bedroom should be someone like a scholar,
came to the window and opened the window, a huge black city appeared in front of the fat man
"How is the south like?"
Fatty’s eyes flickered with a hint of confusion. He looked at the water droplets that usually hit the window sill and said to himself that the southern part of Oubaro is still a strange land to the empire whose main forces are in the north. At present, the empire is only in contact with countries close to the inner sea, and that is only less than one-third of the entire southern European Baro
In the early morning of the next day, the Imperial Admiralty Dusterenkai appeared in the study. The emperor handed him a drafted document. "I know that the Imperial Admiralty has a similar department, but the main collection is Information about the sea area. Now the empire needs more information, not only about the sea area, but also for the entire region. I believe you can find the talents in this area!"
Dusterenkai glanced over the document drafted by the emperor himself. The content on it made him take a breath, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, for those who provide information, not only rewards, but also Is it a bit wrong to give the middle and lower-level military posts? It should be enough to give them money to buy information. Although those businessmen go further south in pursuit of greater interests, they have an understanding of the region. It is only obtained through local trade. If you can reach a few places and you can become an imperial soldier, what is the value of the soldier's **** battle?"
"The duty of the empire’s soldiers is to expand, and those who provide information are also contributing to the expansion of the empire. In this respect, I don’t think there is any difference! Remuneration, how could it be possible for people to go to life!" The fat man stood up with a serious expression, went to the window and looked at the rainy and foggy land outside, and said condensedly, "Southern Europe is a more expansive area. If the empire wants to truly understand the south, language and culture are a big problem. Just like an empire notice, it needs to find a professional translator. How can it be done? A large number of empire notice documents, if you directly use the imperial language I am afraid that 99% of southerners will not understand it, and many documents in the South, especially the information about Guan and the more southern areas, are worthless if they cannot be converted into the lingua franca of the empire. 'S waste paper
The territory of the empire is getting bigger and bigger, covering more and more regions and ethnic groups. It’s better in the north-central part of Obaro. At least the regional culture is integrated, while the southern part is the culture developed by the inland sea. They are totally two different things. In this regard, the empire has almost no understanding."
The fat man's voice paused, and continued, "Even the imperial caravan did not continue to the south after arriving at Feize. The information that can be brought back is very small, and it has expanded several times in just a few years. For the powerful empire of China, the need for information is very urgent, but the information is mainly oriented towards business. Except for the kind of real scholars, who would spend a lot of money to collect information from merchants in various regions? Even if there is, merchants. There are various kinds of content, and some are even like horrible and strange rumors, things that cannot be verified at all. Even if someone collects them, they will not be made public, completely losing the role that information should have."
" Therefore, the empire must first break this barrier from itself. If the empire wants to embrace the world, it must need greater information, from what it knows and what it does not know. The empire needs to know the entire Obaro continent, and even what is possible. Unknown mainland information to promote the business circle of the empire and the expansion of the cultural circle to a larger scope. "The fat man looked at the ground outside the window with a grim expression, with a heavy and slow tone." From now on, the empire will not only give a certain amount to these adventurers. Their money, as well as higher status and honor, only in this way, they will explore for the empire and bring back more unknown information."
"Then what level of military service can these people reach? Does the navy need to set up a new fleet to accommodate these people? My subordinates think that it is better for them not to join the combat troops at first, after all, they are not the real navy. Soldiers, self-interference in naval operations is prone to problems.” Seeing that the emperor’s heart is determined, Dustellenkai knows that there is no point in persuading. The emperor is the main focus of empire expansion. In fact, it is necessary to understand the importance of information. , The imperial navy has the most say, so Dusterenkai agreed with the emperor’s ideas,
The expansion process of the Imperial Navy is actually the process of capturing information. In the naval fleet confrontation, whoever has more information has a greater chance of winning. The changing seas, climate, and terrain will change the fleet. The turning point of destiny, but as the imperial business line gradually reached its limit, the new regional information that the imperial navy could obtain has become less and less. After all, the area that the merchant fleet can reach is so far away. With sufficient protection, even the most bold captain dare not pass.
"From the sailor level, to the captain level, the admiral level, the highest can be awarded to the naval squadron commander level"
The fat man glanced at the corner of his mouth and turned back from the window. "As for the fleet, don’t forget, there is a private fleet in the empire, so let’s set it up there, so that even if it has a rank and status, it’s not for the real The navy fleet does not have command, so you can rest assured"
"Yes, subordinates understand!"
Du Stellenkai nodded. It seems that what his Majesty has granted is only honor and status. As long as it does not involve military command, it does not matter how many honorary positions, but think about this once the document is issued by the Admiralty. Go out, I'm afraid the entire empire will be shaken,
Able to become an imperial soldier by discovering new areas and information, without gaining huge wealth and an admirable officer status. No matter how demanding the conditions are, there will be tens of thousands of people. They are eager for it, because the most indispensable thing in the empire is the soldiers who have been eliminated in the previous conquest wars. Their number is at least one million. After the empire has occupied these areas, the original army will be disbanded, although these soldiers are occupied by the empire. Most of the defeats are mixed life, but it is undeniable that there are still many outstanding fighters in it
These people have been fighting all year round. They have been accustomed to swords and saw life and death. It is not an easy task to grab a cultivator at once, so many people have chosen to become a member of the Empire’s commercial mercenaries. The number of empire’s commercial mercenaries has always been feared by the southern European and Baro region. There are nearly half a million people. This is already the total strength of a large southern country. Southern countries often use this to criticize the imperial military. The empire It is like a super monster, like a huge black cloud covering the south. The wings of this ferocious northern raptor may make the southern countries feel the pressure of the army to suppress the city
"In this way, across the entire empire era, it was hailed as the cradle of heroes by later generations. The most important paramilitary organization of the empire came on the stage of history. The empire privateer fleet, although the empire privateer fleet was once granted to the empire by the emperor The Navy, but as the Imperial Navy gradually became the overlord of the sea, the title of the Privateer Fleet was automatically cancelled by the Navy. However, in the five-year year of the Empire’s calendar, the Privateer Fleet was reorganized by the Admiralty and was very luxuriously equipped. A large number of establishments and personnel, with the approval of the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs, the commander of the Imperial Private Fleet and the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy are the same person."
" The Imperial Privateer Fleet consists of four privateer squadrons, with more than 70 combat ships and more than 3,000 personnel. They are supported by four military ports in the Feize region. The actual situation is that the private fleet is privately owned by the Imperial Navy. At the inauguration ceremony of the plundering fleet, there were only four solitary dragon-tooth warships replaced from the Imperial Navy. At the ceremony, less than ten people attended the ceremony. The name was signed on the document. Such a shabby opening cannot conceal the three-hundred-year magnificent history of the privateer fleet. "The Falcon Empire Naval Expansion History" Vol. 1, Page 7.
Du Strunké left with the emperor’s signed document, and got on the carriage parked outside the villa. When driving to the door, he suddenly saw a guard cavalry ride by the carriage from outside. Du Strenkai's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Although the opponent is an emperor's guard, in the absence of an emergency, it is not possible to ignore a heavy military minister at will. The opponent should wait for his carriage to get out before coming in. That's it. At that time, he heard the sound of the cavalry jumping off the horse at the entrance of the villa stairs. A captain of the guard stopped the cavalry and asked in a low voice.
"Our people died. The patrol team found the bodies of two guards on the street this morning. Because the guards were involved, the patrol did not dare to conceal it. This is a document reported to your Majesty... "
"You’re not mistaken, it’s really ours who died." The captain of the guard heard that it was the guard who was dead, his expression suddenly became very solemn, his voice with suppressed anger
"I went to see the corpse. It was indeed ours, Dani and Ukwa. Near them, there were more than a dozen Fazernu corpses, all shot to death by arrows! "The guard cavalry looked a little bit painful. Although the emperor's guard did not fear death, dying on the battlefield and dying on the street are completely different things,
" are those slaves from last night"
The head of the guard changed his face and seemed to think of something. Last night, he met the Fazer slaves. He called Dani and Ukva to take them to the barracks, those slaves. Li said that someone was chasing them, so he ran to the carriage to seek shelter. In the dark, even the imperial guards with good skills could not escape the cold arrow in the dark
"Asshole, the other party dared to attack the Imperial Guards!"
The captain of the guard gritted his teeth bitterly, he hesitated and said, "The other party should have been panicked after discovering that the Imperial soldiers had been killed. There were more than 20 slaves last night, and there were only a dozen corpses. Those slaves should still be alive. Find those slaves so that you can know who did it! Report this to your majesty immediately. To find these slaves, you need the help of the local garrison."
In the room, the fat man is putting an imperial notice in front of Luandribia "Look at it"
"Yes, my lord"
Luandribia cautiously accepted the announcement, his eyes swept over, and she was stunned. The lingua franca of the Empire comes from Nordic Baro. As a polymath, Luandribia reads a lot. The literature and books are all in Nordic Baro, so translation conversion is not a difficult thing. What shocked him was the content of this announcement. His voice trembled, and he hesitated to ask, "My lord, the empire really wants to give all the slaves. Freedom? Land and production tools need to be given~IndoMTL.com~ Yes, after the announcement, there will be no more slaves in the entire West Coast area, only the empire’s freedom."
The fat man casually picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. There will be no more slaves in the entire coastal area. This is simply unimaginable for Luandribia, who has been two generations. Luandribia had such a reaction, which was also expected by the fat man.
"You are a good person, adult"
Luandribia looked extremely excited, even if she had already escaped from slavery, this announcement was extremely lethal to Luandribia, and this adult was going to give it All the slaves are free to give them tools and land. If others say, Luandribia is definitely not so excited, and occasionally some slaves will be given to slaves by the master. Some slaves have no part in themselves, just like Luandribia, but there has never been a person who can give millions of slaves a part in one person at once, that is, I dare not dream. I thought about it, and now, this notice is just in front of me in black and white
"Good guy? You are not the first to say that, but you should be considered the most sincere one. If there is no problem, I will turn this statement into Fazer's words. "Fat man put down his water glass and tell Luandribia I waved my hand. At this moment, a report came in from outside, and then the sound of a broken water glass came from the room.
" Luandribia, let go of work first, and go to a place with me! "The fat man appeared at the door with a pale face and fearful of people, and Luandribia at the back was paler [to be continued] []
