Power and Empire Chapter 3209: Impact
The vast land full of autumn flowers, full of desolation after the late autumn, the flocks of sheep in the distance are like white clouds, and the sound of celadon-like singing is heard, and a beautiful prairie girl holds her hand Shepherd whip and wide leather robe can hardly conceal the natural precocious and graceful figure of a prairie woman. Riding on a white horse, her red face gives people a natural beauty that is naturally carved. The girl curiously looked at the edge of the hills in the distance. , The black line emerging, far away, thunder rolling, if it was on the prairie before, the first thing the girl had to do was to immediately turn around and run away. This is the sound of horses hoofs of the cavalry moving at high speed, but now, it doesn’t need to be like this. /
Because the entire wilderness has been under the management of the empire, the empire’s management of the wilderness can be described as loose. In fact, when the entire tribe surrendered to the empire, they did not expect such treatment. In the grassland, each tribe needed to hand in a certain amount of cattle and sheep to the royal court every quarter, but in the empire, nothing was required. On the contrary, merchants from the empire brought more good things to the tribe. These commodities Including those that have only been heard before, never seen, or even heard before, it is said that there are special products from the opposite side of the sea thousands of miles away. In just a few months, the heads of the tribe have already begun to enjoy them. There are luxury goods from all over this continent, and the tribes no longer have to worry about a large number of tribes freezing to death in the winter, because the empire has designated areas for each tribe, and even built a large enough for each area. For people’s wooden castles, tribes can exchange cattle and sheep for enough food for the winter. To put it bluntly, as long as the tribes do nothing, the empire will generally not show up.
Regarding the rule of the empire, the various ministries are still very satisfied. The only wording is that the empire strictly prohibits the looting of all ministries, especially for the caravans that come and go. Once they are found to be looted, they are stationed in the Wamu Fortress. The imperial cavalry will be dispatched. It takes less than three days to get news that the tribes that have offended the imperial decree have been annihilated. The grassland tribes that have been annihilated because of this decree have already had four in the previous two months, among which there are still four Including two medium-sized tribes with 2,000 cavalry power, this is not a bad thing for the heads of the tribes, because for them, it is equivalent to four more wooden forts where the tribes can be stationed, and they can be grazing. More pastures for cattle and sheep
The dark shadows in the distance became bigger and bigger, and soon, a row of cold armor reflecting the sun’s rays above the head became clear, and the earth trembled under the footsteps of this rapidly approaching black line, and the line was neatly formed. Like a knife, she dashed over a hundred meters in front of the girl. The girl was very witty and stepped aside, stepped down from the horse respectfully, and lay on the ground.
The adults of the tribe said that as long as they lie on the ground to express their surrender, these sturdy and combative imperial cavalry will not embarrass the herdsmen. For the steppe people, these are the conquerors of the steppe people and the rulers of this land. It is said that the territory of the rule spans two continents, and the supreme emperor has the title of longevity angel. Even the northern court was destroyed by the empire, and the emperor also has the title of King Khan. Ruling the other two powerful grasslands, they are said to have more than 200,000 cavalry. In comparison, the tribes in this wilderness are really inconspicuous, just like ants
Four centuries passed in a row. Is this what happened? The girl was lying on the ground, and her heart was also confused. In one case, the imperial cavalry would not come here, and the combat power of four centuries was enough to deal with a prairie department with a thousand horsemen, and the thing that puzzled the girl the most was, The tribe did not inform that the Emperor ** team will come here recently
"Is there any water? I ran for a day and a night. I drank the water. I was really thirsty." The horseshoe stopped in front of the girl, and a gentle voice asked. The girl raised her head cautiously, and what appeared in her eyes was a look The slightly fat young man jumped off the war horse. Behind the black-haired young man, a dozen imperial cavalry stopped behind. The girl quickly took off the sheepskin water bag on her waist. Although she did not know the identity of the young man, she came from behind. Judging by more than a dozen imperial cavalry, it is at least an officer-level figure.
"Thank you" Fatty took the water bag and smiled at the girl. A guard wanted to come over to test the water, but Fatty's gaze stopped him.
"Are you an imperial nobleman?" I don’t know where the courage came from, the girl asked with a trembling voice. The girl herself didn’t know why she asked this, because the young man in front of her seemed too harmless, if not behind The imperial cavalry followed, and the youth reminded the girl of the tribe’s mention a few days ago
Dear someone, that kind of temperament seems to give people a strange feeling, neither like the rebelliousness of the young people in the grassland, nor the sharp edge of those imperial cavalry, if you really want to use a word to describe , That is no pressure, just those black eyes like a starry sky, which makes people feel like they are sinking in.
"Is it a nobleman? It's so... ahem, this smell is too heavy!" The black-haired young man said disapprovingly, and took a sip from the water bag. The thick smell of sheepskin poured into his nose. For those who are not used to it, it is definitely comparable to torture. Even a black-haired young man makes a dry cough.
"Puff" Seeing the embarrassed look of the black-haired youth, the girl let out a laugh that could not be suppressed, and took out a handful of unknown dried leaves from her chest robe and handed it over. "This is the first lamb since the fall of this year. It’s made of skin, but it’s still not completely deodorized. Even if I don’t dare to drink so much in one sip, I can chew on this dried grass to suppress my nausea."
The young man took the withered grass and put it in his mouth and chewed it. The special fragrance of grass leaves really made the mouth feel better. He looked at the vast scenery around and asked, "There is still How far?"
"Aren’t you from Wamubao?" The prairie girl's pretty face was astonished. Seeing the imperial cavalry, she had already determined that the opponent was an imperial nobleman from Wamubao, but she didn’t expect that the other party was not from Wamubao at all. Mubao, where did that come from?
"I came from the direction of the Imperial Capital of Zhongbia, and the goal is Wamu Fort." The black-haired young man withdrew his gaze from a distance, smiled bitterly and said, "You should be from the grassland department that moved from the northwestern region, so you should have heard It’s only right after the imperial capital of China and Biya."
" They said that Zhongbia Imperial Capital is the most prosperous city on this land, and any grasslander who arrives there will be able to return with a full load. "The girl's eyes were shining, she looked very fascinated, she hesitated for a moment, and looked towards her black hair. Youth "Since you are an imperial nobleman, can I ask you for a favor?"
" As long as it’s not too much, the black-haired young man shrugged his shoulders, half-jokingly turned on the horse
" They said that as long as they have permission from the empire, the tribal caravan can go to the Central Biya area. I want to go to the Central Biya Imperial Capital to take a look, but my tribe is too small, I’m afraid I can’t get it. The permission of the empire" The girl gently twisted her fingers in the belt of her robe, her white jade-like teeth bit on her ruddy lips, and her innocence revealed a charm
"If this is the request, I can agree and tell me your name and tribe" The black-haired young man grinned at the corner of his mouth
"The ram warbler of the Qiran Department!" the girl said with a reddish face
" Ram warbler? Okay, I remember, I will let Wamubao give you caravan permission, and it will only work for you. If your tribe chooses someone else as the leader of the caravan, then only It can be nullified." The black-haired young man murmured in a low voice, smiled at the ram warbler, and turned around with more than a dozen cavalry men.
The tile wooden fort towering over the hills is a large stone-striped building with a length and width of one kilometer, plus two sub-forts extending to both sides. It is condescending and overlooks the entire empire’s wilderness below. Empire Avenue, here is the residence of the Eighth Banner Regiment of the Imperial Wilderness Corps. There are 8,000 imperial cavalry stationed there. As the highest official of the Empire guarding this wilderness, the commander of the Eighth Banner Regiment, Munnar, is like an emperor in this wilderness. , And at this moment, he stood respectfully in front of the open gate of Wamubao, the black-haired young man stopped the horse in front of him, Munnar hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground on one knee, put his right hand on his chest, and shouted respectfully." Your Majesty"
"Get up, you are also an old man from the Guards, so these etiquettes can be avoided!"
Fatty got off the horse and handed the reins in his hand to the guards next to him. The guards are all of Fatty’s direct line, and they are also the backbone of the imperial army. The guards that followed from the Samor era, Now it has become two parts, one is the Emperor’s Guards Corps, the other is the Imperial Central Army, and a part of the Imperial Wilderness Corps is the Eighth Banner of the former Central Army, under the command of Varisian, and Wambu serves as Guarding the control point of Imperial Avenue crossing the wilderness is itself an obstacle to the corridor between the east and west mainland commercial roads. The fat man transferred the main force of the wilderness army to the west road of the emperor of Zhongbia, but the eighth banner group, which was born in the direct line, was alone in the wilderness. It can be seen how much attention is paid to Wamubao
take a rest in Wamubao, the next morning, the fat man will talk about his father
The sheep warbler’s promise tells Munnar, and then continues to move towards the empire
"This time the incident was too much. Many weapons orders that have been placed have been cancelled, and some have been shipped, but have also been unloaded. Even the ones that arrived at the port were returned. , Weapons are not used by ordinary people. Now they are returned, and they have lost their money. Just when I left, many of the weapons merchants in Lisbon have filed for bankruptcy with the Empire! It is said that the weapons workshop in the north Most of them are temporarily closed."
A caravan leader sighed with emotion. Beside him, sat a black-haired young man, accompanied by an **** from the Imperial Army. This man headed towards Lisbon from the north of Gangfei. The leader of the caravan is naturally full of joy. He knows everything about this unknown imperial official. The other party seems to be very interested in this weapon storm, but only talks about the impact of this weapon trade. , Even the leader of the caravan has a sad face
" This incident has dealt a huge blow to the Empire’s arms trade. Although the Empire has made every effort to clarify that the weapons in Eero’s fiasco were not sold to Eero by the Empire, the Prince Eero insisted that they were sold by the Empire. This kind of thing cannot withstand time, because the empire cannot prove it. Many countries that were leaning towards the empire have also begun to lean towards the Eero side. The Eero country is even more for inspiring the fighting spirit of the Eero people. , Yili also determined that the fiasco was caused by the empire selling counterfeit weapons to Eero, not because Eero’s army was ineffective, and the empire should be responsible for Eero’s fiasco"
"The empire was responsible for Eero’s fiasco, are you sure?" Hearing these words from the leader of the caravan, the black-haired youth's eyes narrowed into a line.
"Anyway, Eero has sent someone over. It is said that he was beaten up by the military. The Eero envoy simply sent someone to block the port of Lisbonto and told all those who disembarked how inferior the imperial weapon was. ! Because everyone knows about Eero’s fiasco, many weapons dealers just got off the ship and immediately boarded and left."
The leader of the caravan said that the fat man’s route this time was completely in accordance with the route of the Empire Avenue. The fat man had to personally measure it once. From the Dijing West Road back to the empire, is it true that it only takes one month as the Academy of Engineering said? Another reason is to understand the current impact of the imperial arms trade in this incident. Erot’s fiasco spread to the Imperial West Road in Zhongbia. This period of time was enough to severely damage the imperial arms trade, and I heard from the leaders of the caravan. , It seems even more severe
"Where's Governor Tyre, does he leave it alone?"
The dark-haired young man had a gloomy face, and his nose snorted heavily. Lisboa is the largest trading port in the Empire, and the southwestern area of the Empire, Dahai City, and the troika called the Empire’s commercial center, the fat man made a special mention. Ernarante came to serve as the governor of Lisboa. According to Tirnarante’s style, how could he make the Erotians mess around to such an extent?
The empire has succeeded in its external expansion over the years, and within a few years it has risen like a hurricane, sweeping across the entire north-central part of the Obaro continent, using the bones of millions of people to establish the first high-quality label of the Emperor's weapon continent. Now, because of the fiasco of the Battle of Erot, there is a danger of crumbling. The impact of the Battle of Erot is too bad. The defeat of the elite army of 150,000 Erot has caused the efforts of the entire Erot Empire to be burned, even because This fiasco brought the country to the brink of extinction, and as news broke that the reason for the defeat was inferior imperial weapons, a wave of unsubscribed imperial weapons was immediately set off in the Obaro region.
There are hundreds of thousands of weapons that flow out of the empire every year. It can be said that as long as there is a war empire in the Obaro region, there will be empire weapon merchants active, and the arms trade has become a huge part of the empire’s fiscal revenue. The source, the pillar of the pillar industry, from mining ore to craftsmen in forging workshops, to military transfers, and to trade agents everywhere. The operators involved are probably more than hundreds of thousands. Such a huge industry, Once affected by the fiasco of the Battle of Erot, it will definitely be a huge economic catastrophe for the entire empire. Tirnarante definitely knows how severe the consequences of the empire’s arms trade will be.
"I don’t know very well~IndoMTL.com~ but now the acting governor of Lisbonto is Lord Vihari, not the name of Tyre"
The caravan leader's face was stunned, slap, the caravan leader heard a crisp, cracking voice coming from the hand of the black-haired young man who was holding up a wooden cup and preparing to take a sip of water next to him,
The extremely hard elm wood, said to be as hard as iron, broke between the hands of the black-haired youth. The water stream wetted the hands of the black-haired youth, and the face of the caravan leader changed.
"Sorry, I missed it for a while" The black-haired young man let go, an awkward smile appeared on his face
" It’s okay. It’s just a teacup. It’s not a high-end product. It was just bought at first. "The leader of the caravan glanced over the debris on the table and grinned unnaturally. This is too exaggerated Well, although I know that the strength of soldiers is greater than that of ordinary people, it shouldn’t be so ridiculous. This wooden water cup was originally bought because it is strong enough
The closer to Lisboa, the more obvious the impact on the imperial arms trade was. Through the curtain of the carriage, the fat man’s eyes fell on the side of the road. It was a huge area with rows of closed kiln openings. , Spread out layer by layer. This is supposed to be Lisbon Tor as a busy weapon workshop area. The weapons forged from here are called the city of weapons by the merchants because of their high quality and good toughness. There are only a few black smoke rising, and it is not completely empty. Some workshops still have artisans sitting at the gates, but the gates of the confinement are just like the frustrated expressions of these artisans
