Power and Empire Chapter 3111: The madness of Aden (4)
In the new Beijing of Central Bahia, the evening sun sprinkled on the high spires and tops of the four corner towers of the church, as if printing and dyeing a layer of gold on the whole world. A team of Aden warriors wearing traditional black robes stood Before the steps, a few pigeons flew over the open space on the sanctuary and circled a big circle, and then flew back and landed on the exquisite sculptures in front of the sanctuary, the water-drenching fountain, the roof is the star and moon of Aden, and the setting sun The lattice glass passing through the roof fell on the wall obliquely below the room and turned into a colorful pattern. The entire sanctuary seemed to be immersed in a plane different from the mundane world, and time passed slowly.
The elder of Aden, Aeglen’s gaze wandered over a picture of landscape on the wall, with a bit of emotion in his gaze,
"Grand Elder, Prime Minister Yu Fenglong is here!" A servant in a white robe walked in and reported to Aglen
"Today's court meeting ended so early? Come here, please collect this carefully." Agleon's deep gaze flashed with a hint of surprise, and he waved his hand to the servants standing on both sides. There were four servants immediately. I came up and moved the landscape map carefully until I saw the servants put this precious landscape map in a safe place. Then Elder Aglan looked back, turned and walked out of the room, so that Elder Aglan could do the same. The important things are certainly not ordinary things, but in fact, this landscape map has indeed been treated as ordinary things for decades, so that when Elder Aglan got this thing, he couldn’t believe his eyes.
This is the map of mountains, rivers and rivers drawn by Qi Xia, a traveler during the heyday of the China-Biyadh empire. The whole picture is 3, 3 meters long and is stacked from mountains and rivers in Yanzhou. Trails, waterfalls in the mountains that stretch across the mountains in the south, cities, gates, walkways and rivers, all appear on the map one by one, as if they have brought thousands of miles of geographical mountains and rivers into the empire of China. In a picture scroll, Qi Xia fell ill after finishing the painting. Later, according to his last wish, he dedicated the painting to the government of Central and Bahia. For the next 50 years, this painting has been selected. The Emperor Biya hid in a warehouse, mixed with a large number of useless books,
After the imperial capital was broken, the gold, silver and jewellery were looted by the steppe people, except that they had no interest in these incomprehensible collections, but were sold as ordinary court paintings to Aden merchants who bought slaves. After the Aden merchant bought it, it was transferred to Yagren, and Yagren then spent a full five years to send people to accurately inspect the landscapes and rivers marked on the paintings, and remarked them. The facts proved that this The pictures listed on the painting are absolutely true, and finally this painting became the base map of the map of China and Bahia that was passed back to Aden.
Such an important thing was exchanged for just three copper coins. Tell me who believed it, and now, Agleon wants to make one more transaction with Zhongbia Chaotang
In the main hall of the temple, Yu Fenglong, the prime minister of Central Asia, seemed to be gently blowing the tea leaves floating in the cup in front of him, but his eyes were with a bit of unconcealable heat, and he swept over the so-called big merchant of Aden in front of him. In the living room of Aglan, he sighed inwardly. As expected, the rich merchants in Aden are as rumored, they are rich,
Don’t say anything else, just say that the living room is more than 30 meters long and wide, and the ground is completely padded with top-notch, breaking-smooth Bovin marble. Just one hand is enough to make him the Zhongbian The prime minister’s inner feelings are secretly speechless
China cannot produce marbles, that is to say, all these marbles come from the fleet from the Gulf of Aden by sea. The cost of such a trip is enough to make people feel palpitating.
Because of the gorgeous pattern and smoothness of marble, it has always been regarded as the top building material by the people of Central and Biyadh. Its price is already sky-high, and it is still unquestionable. For hundreds of years, it has been regarded as A symbol of status. After all, the weight and volume of marble are too large. Although it is lucrative, the quantity that a ship can transport is so much. It is far less cost-effective than transporting various special products with light weight. Therefore, even if it is expensive, Aden Merchants are still reluctant to transport and sell, because the quantity is more precious, even if it is a prime minister like Yu Fenglong, its magnificent mansion can definitely be ranked in the top three among the Shinkyo Minister.
But what makes Yu Fenglong most proud of is the study room which is only a dozen square meters.
Because only the study room of more than a dozen square meters was paved with four pieces of marble side by side, a full one-meter square marble, this is the contribution of a second-grade family in the place, and it was originally intended to be used to welcome the emperor’s return. But in the end, Yu Fenglong used it in his study. At this moment, Yu Fenglong really wants to let those ministers who say that the people of Aden are ambitious and that loans to Zhongbia are bad intentions and are not enough to trust, take a look at them. According to the financial resources of the people of Aden, what else is there in Zhongbia? It is worthy of the coveted by the wealthy Aden businessmen of these rich and enemy countries
"The Prime Minister came so quickly, did the court discussions have a result?" Yu Fenglong heard footsteps coming from outside the hall, and quickly withdrew his eyes, and saw Aglan in a white robe walk in The door, immediately as if seeing a group of big gold coins walking on its own, stood up and arched his hands towards Aglan
"The Grand Elder Agleon is really amazing. It was only from time to know the result." Yu Fenglong said with a smile on his mouth, "After court discussion, my Majesty, the Emperor of Bia, agrees that your country is in Liuchenggang’s request for the construction of a church, and regarding Liuchenggang, we have also issued an official document requesting its full assistance in the construction of your church"
"I knew that I was right. Your Majesty is indeed a holy monarch with an inclusive mind."
Aglen put his right hand on his chest and bowed respectfully, with a deliberate expression of excitement on his face, which made people not think it was fake. He turned his head and said to a servant behind him, "Put this The good news tells others that we can build a sanctuary in Liuchenggang. This good news must be known to all the people of the gods."
"Yes, the great elder" the servant nodded excitedly, turned around, and soon, outside the hall, there were cheering voices from other Adenites,
"Since the court has agreed to the request of the elder, then the elder has agreed to the court, when will he prepare..." Yu Fenglong pouted his lips before hesitating, these people in Aden really didn't. Zhiqu, now that I have agreed, I should show some real sincerity
"The Prime Minister can rest assured that five million gold will be delivered within a month, and there will never be one less gold coin." Agleon said sincerely, but Yu Fenglong did not appear to be what Yaglen said. Very satisfied, but a little annoyed, stood up and waved his hand to Aglen. "Five million gold will be delivered within a month, of course, no problem. Other than that? Did Elder Aglan forget something? ?"
"The Prime Minister is really anxious. How could I forget the agreement? This time, without the support of the Prime Minister, we would never succeed. There are many people with mixed eyes during the day, and the one hundred thousand gold belongs to Your Excellency. I'll return to the house tonight" Yaglen said with a smile on the corner of his mouth
"Okay, okay, I'll be waiting at home"
Yu Fenglong stood up with an open eyebrow and said goodbye to Agleen, dressed in a red-purple prime minister's robe, walked out of the hall, watching Yu Fenglong's back gradually fade away, and Agleen's old face showed a touch of coldness. At this time, as the prime minister, he is only thinking about his own personal gain. Such a country deserves it if it is dead! What I did was just following the guidance of the gods
"Elder, is the one hundred thousand gold really going to be sent at night..." The servant who had just sent the order returned with a hesitant expression on his face
"Hehe, what do you think?" A grin appeared on the corner of Aglan's old mouth. Since the Zhongbia court has agreed, then the value of Yu Fenglong, the prime minister, is no longer there. What qualifications are there to take it? This one hundred thousand gold, as for Yufenglong will retaliate, this is no longer important, because the financial erosion of China and Bahrain has determined everything,
Before making this request, he already had a full understanding of the finances of the Zhongbian court. The Zhongbian treasury has completely bottomed out. Although the empire has relaxed its front-line encirclement of Deyang, The demand for food sent back by the 100,000 troops of Central and Bahia has also caused the entire Central and Bahia court to be overwhelmed. They have no idea what to do
The army of 100,000 is 100,000 screaming mouths. They want to eat, get paid, and want to win bounties. Every pen, every item, is an astronomical figure. Now even if the entire treasury is turned over Come here, I’m afraid that even one Chengdu won’t be reached. What’s more, this great victory in Deyang, the Zhongbian army, which has always been known for being weak, actually stood on the front line of Deyang, and survived the strong edge of the imperial army southward, and finally forced the imperial army to return. The retreat to the river, the great victory in Deyang, and the shock of the people’s sentiments, made the reputation of the Chinese soldiers even more popular. It is even popular in the world that China and Biyadh have been reborn during the war for several years, and they have been able to compete with the world’s number one military. The power of the country is confronted without falling into the wind. This is the result of the return of the holy monarch. It can be regarded as the emperor of China and Bia.
As for Deyang, the various requests for rewards from various names, like a small hill, were pressed on the desks of the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The thirty accounts temporarily mobilized from the treasury were also calculated around the clock. Rewarding money, the result is that only the first half of the rewards for military officers is already a limit of millions of gold, and the officials of the Ministry of the Interior have not dared to calculate it anymore
There is no money, and the treasury can starve the mice to death if there is no space,
What about an empty treasury? Without sufficient rewards, what should the army do if there is noisy, not to mention, before the war, in order to motivate the army, the leaders of the courts of all sides drove out the Deyang front line as long as they can resist the imperial army’s attack and win as long as they win. The double bounty was given to barely motivate the morale of the army in combat.
At that time, the courts agreed that even if the 100,000 Central Biya Army faced the imperial army going south, even if it was finally able to win, it would definitely be a tragic victory. If only 20,000 or 30,000 survived, it would be the sky. Even if it is a double bounty, five or six hundred thousand will be passed away, but I did not expect that the imperial army would have abandoned Deyang. Although the Deyang front line was damaged by the war, there were only a few thousand people, which is far from the original prediction. It’s huge. Nearly one hundred thousand troops need rewards. With such a huge amount, the ministers of the court are all blue. They can’t be rewarded because they can’t be rewarded. The double reward mentioned in the beginning is even more worthy of a word at this moment. Don't mention it
In this case, I drew a super bun of 5 million gold and smashed it down. It was a weird thing that the Central and Bahia court would refuse. Since Yu Fenglong, the imperial prime minister, he couldn’t wait to visit the door six times in a row. It can be seen that China and Biyadh believe that agreeing to build churches in six port cities is definitely a huge advantage
Actually, how did these stupid Chinese and Belarus know that there is already a large army in Aden, and the landing point is set at six port cities
In order to minimize the resistance of the six ports, this time it was to build the temple in name. In fact, the workers sent to build were all genuine Aden warriors. There were three to four thousand people in total. These Aden warriors will be here. After receiving the signal~IndoMTL.com~ The six ports were thoroughly controlled as soon as possible. The six ports in Central and Biyahia have so many troops, which are basically in accordance with the configuration of the six hundred and one government, and the combat power is still low. The city guards only need three hundred Aden warriors to completely control the port, opening the door to victory in advance for the landing of the army. As long as Liucheng Alley falls into the hands of the Aden Landing Army, Aden’s war of conquest against China and Biyah is equal to half the victory.
"The time, at most, is half a month. Even if the prime minister of China and Biyah wants to do anything, what is the use! As the prime minister, Yu Fenglong knows better than anyone else. These five million gold is the life-saving straw for the entire Zhongbia! Even if he wants to retaliate against us, he will have to wait for the five million gold to get his hands."
Aglen gave a dry cough, his eyes that had been muddy, suddenly became clear, and he turned and walked into a courtyard behind the hall
In the neat marble courtyard outside the corridor, several Aden officers wearing chain armor stood solemnly on both sides and saw Agleun kneeling on the ground neatly on one knee.
On the Guangping in the middle of the courtyard, hundreds of heavily armed warriors of Aden are straight, not looking squint, and the atmosphere of silence diffuses, which is enough to prove that these hundreds of warriors of Aden are all warriors who have been fighting for a long time. If this is in Aden, then someone will recognize these murderous Aden warriors, they are the famous temple warriors directly under the Aden Red Dragon Temple. These temple guards are all orphans and slaves of the Red Dragon Temple. Adopted in China, and trained as a samurai since childhood, there is no doubt about the loyalty to the Red Dragon Temple,
Stopping in front of Guangping in the quiet courtyard where the leaves can be heard, Aglan glanced over these firm and young faces, and there was more complexity in his vaguely excited eyes, and he lifted up. Hand, and said condensedly, "My children, are you ready?"
