Power and Empire Chapter 2531: Boom (11)
"Are we rejected?"
The empire’s reply book made all the Fezer nobles who were waiting for the empire to let go of the news on the west coast were stunned, feeling like a basin of ice water poured down their heads
"Why, one million gold coins, is that greedy emperor still not satisfied?"
"Yes, one million gold coins, but we need to let go of the border and let us take refuge on the west coast temporarily. The price is already very high"
The nobles all talked about it. They all thought that they could get one million yellow gold coins without any effort. For the Hokuriku nobles who overwhelmed all their wealth and the future and hoped to rise in this battle for royal power. , This one million is just sitting naked and sharing the spoils,
Some people are also saying that it seems that the news is true. We have all been sold to the Fazer Royal Family by the Falcon Empire"
"Such words, don’t talk nonsense, don’t you think it’s not messy enough now." A great Northland nobleman who was only slightly worse than Grand Duke Gengdi, glanced left and right, solemnly with a hoarse low. The voice said from the side
"I think this is very possible! Originally, the royal family had prepared to send someone to come for secret talks. As long as we are willing to give up most of the territory, the royal family can consider letting us live." Duke Geng Di's eyes flickered, always godly A sharp light flashed in his eyes. His words made the surrounding nobles suddenly stop.
"Master Gengdi, you mean, you have sent someone to negotiate with the royal family?"
"What do you mean by doing this?" A young and energetic nobleman stood up from the crowd and asked angrily. There was also a deep discussion inside the nobleman. Many noblemen knew it for the first time. What the senior noble army does is the trump card of the two negotiations,
"Anyway, it’s all about talking, talking about one family and talking about two families. It’s really impossible to say that there is something wrong. If there is, it’s just about being unable to let go of face." Duke Geng Di calmly put his hand on As the proverb says, we can’t say that all eggs are put in one basket. After all, we Hokuriku and the royal family do not have endless power struggles like the military. For the royal family, we want to take control of the north as soon as possible. As far as Lu is concerned, it is not good to kill the nobles. Our nobles in Northland have been entrenched in the north of Fazer for more than a hundred years, and they are intertwined. Once they really have to fight desperately, it will not be easy for the Fazer royal family to start a war between the north and the south. Not to mention the fact that the Falcon Empire is eyeing on the west coast"
Hearing Duke Geng Di’s words, the nobles’ expressions were stunned. Yes, it seems to be true. The royal family wants to eliminate the military because of the expansion of the military. The crisis has reached the royal power, but the Northland nobles are different. They It is the ally most valued by the royal family. Ten years ago, he took the pressure from the military and supported the current king’s ascension. The two sides have worked closely together. There is no need to pay the price of one party’s demise.
"I think Duke Geng Di's words are not unreasonable. The royal family wants to go south. This may not be an opportunity for us to let everyone go back alive!" A person with a status similar to Geng Di The leader also stood up, and his face didn't show too much unexpected expression. Is it possible that there will only be Geng Di's family in secret conversations with the royal family? The Northland nobles and the royal family have been together for more than a hundred years, supporting each other and uniting against the military. How can the connection between them be cleared by just one sentence? It's just this kind of thing that Geng Di said, and those The nobles who secretly negotiated with the royal family all pretended to be deaf and dumb.
"If you really can go back alive, it is okay to make a little sacrifice." As soon as I heard that I could go back, the nobles' complexion suddenly became much better. The most feared thing is the psychology of luck. The nobles think that the royal family wants after all It’s just the land of Hokuriku, not their fate,
What the **** was going on in the Nurem tragedy, the nobles have long recalled, that is a trap that the king has arranged for a long time, because of the Nurem massacre, the aristocratic army and the military parted ways, and finally triggered a reaction. The royal alliance split, and at the same time, half of the military power was urged to fall under the control of the royal family. The military strength was greatly weakened. With this opportunity, the royal family reversed the whole situation without a single soldier. The original inferior force was changed in one fell swoop. Become a superior force, and also received the full support of the previously vacillating royal capital and nobles. It can be described as a fame and fortune. It is already about to be like the cold water of the royal prestige. This time it has become hot and hot. It is not a noble army, the royal family. How can I get such a benefit! But this kind of black pot has to be pressed on the head of the noble army. Is this fair?
"Negotiating with the empire was originally just a backup method, so don’t worry about it!"
Duke Gengdi’s thick voice reached every nobleman’s ears, and continued, “His Majesty, in order to unify the royal power, pretended to be grandson for ten years, and finally found an opportunity to uproot the army in one fell swoop, and now strangle the southern vassals. The army must also hope to be able to go south as quickly as possible, and completely occupy several vassal kingdoms in the south with absolute military advantage, and achieve the biggest gains in the southern region by Faze in more than a hundred years. Now wait a day and let the south go more. One point of difficulty, in the face of this national fortune that affects the entire Faze, where is there any heart to disperse the forces to kill us! So the current situation is just a means of gaining more bargaining chips in the negotiation, I believe Everything will come to fruition soon, you don’t have to worry so much!"
"Master Geng Di is right, Wang Jun is eager to go south, how can he have leisure to destroy us!"
The nobles settled down one by one and comforted each other, but few people noticed the flash of mercy in the eyes of the heads of the noble army
Wang Jun will not kill all the Hokuriku nobles, because that would be a waste of time, but he will never allow the Hokuriku nobility to go back intact like this. What needs to be repaired will definitely be repaired. Such a good opportunity. , How could the royal family let it go! The Northland nobles looted such a huge wealth in the royal capital area, I am afraid that the king has long been designated as the military budget for the army to go south. The king and the army have been fighting for so long, even if they have some savings. , Also used seven or eighty eight, more than one hundred thousand army went south, or in the winter when everything was gone, the army food and materials needed to be prepared in advance, the royal family did not get money from the noble army, where to get the money , Without money, everything is empty talk!
For several great nobles in Hokuriku, they have a close relationship with the royal family, and some have been married to the royal family. It is a normal ivy that has been entrenched in Hokuriku for a hundred years. Even if the royal family wants to move, they have to weigh the consequences.
The battle for royal power has ended, and the royal family has achieved a complete victory. What is needed now is to realize the royal power control over the entire Fazer in the shortest time. These great nobles only have to give up part of their interests, be loyal to the royal family, and recognize the royal power to the north. Lu’s rule, and then spending military expenditures to support the Wang Jun’s Southern Expedition, everything can be discussed, and the alliance of interests is itself the bond between the royal family and the great aristocracy.
But other small and medium nobles are hard to say
The nobles in the royal capital area were seriously damaged in this catastrophe. In order to calm the anger of these royal nobles, the royal family also needs to find a vent. These insignificant middle and small nobles are undoubtedly, of course, this point, the great nobles. We already understand the tacit understanding in our hearts, who would say it stupidly, now they are overwhelmed, who still has the heart to care about the life and death of these small and medium-sized nobles! In this acquiescence, the great aristocrats and the royal family are negotiating closely,
The eastern part of the Fazer Kingdom, the Blue Moon Mountains, the gray sky is covered with winter rain, and the weather is as cold as a layer of hoarfrost. The Fazer Royal Family is directly under the Fourth Army of the Legion, and is moving on the road, the Fourth Legion. Chang Rally Ake looked at the marching queue with great satisfaction, and wiped out the 100,000 elites of the military and the southern vassals, making the royal army directly reborn as if they were reborn. They were originally wearing old armor, but now they have been replaced with excellent iron armor. The weapon in his hand is also flickering, the sound of footsteps in a neat line, the shaking of the ground and the splashing of water, the majestic army in front of us is marching towards the eastward city of Zeni,
冇zeni City was the boundary between the royal family and the military. The 16,000 troops of the 4th Army of Ralliac are the troops sent by the royal family to the east to completely resolve the remnants of the border guards. The royal family It is believed that the first and second armies directly under Ferretli have been destroyed, and the main force of the military has disappeared. The tens of thousands of people left behind are like duckweed without roots. As long as the royal family appropriately expresses its acceptance, these tens of thousands of border guards It will be put under the royal account. For the sake of safety, the royal family still dispatched the fourth army of Raleigh Ake to perform this task. If the preaching fails, it will directly suppress it by force.
Although the number is only 16,000, but they have just won the Royal Capital War, the morale of the army is very high, and the weapons and equipment are excellent, and the royal family believes that they are not inferior to the special case of Ferrie. The royal family’s righteous aspirations, no nobles along the way dared to resist, there are tens of thousands of leftovers of the border guards, and a pile of scattered sand is not an obedient submission
One of the local marquis personally opened the way for the king’s army. As the governor of the province, this marquis looked like he was afraid of dead ghosts. When the military was strong, he did not hesitate to join the military camp. Prepared rations and supplies for the military. Now that Wang Jun has won a big victory, he immediately arrested those nobles who had joined the military camp and gave Rali Aksai a bribe of hundreds of thousands, although he was a bit uncomfortable with the provincial governor. But for the sake of money, Ralliac still praised the governor of the province as a staunch supporter of the royal family in his report.
"My lord, the city of Zeni is in front of you. The lord of the city is a viscount. Although you are a little poorer, you can't spend any money to honor you, but the viscountess is quite charming. It’s cold, my lord. Along the way, it’s good to have a personal bed warmer.” The governor of the province said to Lalíak with a face full of flattery and bright eyes. He originally thought that the military would win. He didn’t expect the military to lose so thoroughly in a blink of an eye. Punishments from the royal family may come at any time, and the governor is in panic all day long. He finally relied on a general of the royal legion, naturally like a drowning man who caught a life-saving straw.
"Your Excellency is bothered, but the bed warmer will be spared. The military situation is urgent, so I won't stay in Ceny!" Lalíak waved his hand coldly. Although he was more greedy for money, he was a direct army of the royal family. The general of, can perform this task which is valued by His Majesty, he still has some restraint in itself. A woman in a small remote town is only a woman who can see there well. It is better to finish the matter early and return to the royal capital. What kind of woman Can't get it! Those nobles curled up in the royal capital, in order to climb to the upper ranks of the direct army, but they took everything!
"My Lord is really my Fei Ze's military model", the governor said with emotion. At this moment, a cavalry passed by the infantry marching line, seeming to feel something. Rally Ak also raised his head and glanced across the front. The eyebrows were slightly frowned together, and a large shadow appeared on the horizon in front of the white rain.
"Attention!" The officer of the marching team cautiously raised his hand,
"What's the situation before?" Raleigh Ake asked loudly.
"My lord, an unknown number of cavalry was found in front", the scout cavalry said breathlessly
"Cavalry?" Lalíak's face changed. Where did the cavalry come from, but a thunderous sound on the opposite side proved the report of the scout cavalry. The large black cloud was expanding rapidly, and the ground was light. The vibration of the earth, the edge of the earth under the black clouds, a dazzling cold light of the weapon is reflected in the eyelids of Rally Ake,
"Oh my god, it's really a cavalry!" The governor with a fat pig-like face made a horrible cry next to him, his body trembled, and he had a convulsion.
"It's a waste!" Rally Ake curled his lips in disdain, saying that, in fact, Rally Ake's face was not good-looking. Seeing a giant steel cavalry formation, it broke the white. The rain comes out~IndoMTL.com~ Lines of majestic horses, the knights on them are wearing heavy armor, and in their hands are a cavalry spear like a barbed wall, crushed by blackness
"This is the cavalry of the border guards!" Seeing clearly the banner of the Frontier Guards of Fazer was swept up in the wind ahead, the pupils of Raleigh Ake shrank unconsciously, and the hand holding the horse whip made a gurgling sound. , This is the so-called border guards in a scattered sand?
"Woo" just when he was stunned, the sound of the trombone on the opposite side had torn the sky above his head, the dignified cold metal photosensitive, the lance lifted up neatly, and that With the mud splashed by thousands of horseshoes, the frontier guard cavalry began to move forward neatly. The long white ribbon of the helmet is like a cloud of high-speed moving. The speed is so fast that every blink of an eye is close to a point. The cavalry lances lined up neatly, You can see the white air from the horse’s nostrils
"Attention, array!"
Directly under the Fourth Army is completely chaotic. It is not easy for the thin marching queue to become a thick battlefield. The cavalry strikes so fast, as if a dazzling light belt is pressing fast in the direction of the Fourth Army. , The ground broke apart with the horseshoe, the soldiers of the Fourth Army have already begun to throw down their weapons and flee backwards. The officers shouted and stopped them, "No run! Whoever runs will kill whoever runs." But they can't stop the escape. momentum!
"Kill!" The neatly rushing lance, like a river of light turned up in a white rain curtain, the horses hoof rumbling, the earth trembling, flooded like a hurricane from the escaped soldiers, and brought them up to the sky. Under the horseshoe, a puff of blood exploded like fog,
