Power and Empire Chapter 3230: The madness of the empire (4)
In the evening, a black carriage drove on the street. Because of the attempted assassination of the imperial princess a few days ago, there was no complete martial law on the entire road, and the cavalry patrolling increased significantly. These wearing black armor The cavalry rides on a mighty armored horse. One side of the horse is a Wu-shaped cavalry shield inlaid with the imperial falcon coat of arms. The pits on it show the atmosphere of despair. Another interview style of the horse is full of lethality. Imperial Cavalry Crossbow
This kind of crossbow is very different from the small assault crossbow equipped by the Imperial Guard Cavalry. It is already the length of an adult’s arm. The crossbow string above must be pulled apart in advance and suspended next to the cavalry crossbow. There are only three crossbow arrows in the quiver. This popular type of cavalry crossbow is mainly equipped in the battle sequence of the Empire’s non-central army
This cavalry crossbow discards the flexibility of the cavalry assault crossbow, but it strengthens the lethality of the one-time wǔqì
Under normal combat, this cavalry crossbow can be fired only once. It is very rare that all three crossbow arrows are shot out. However, the target is changed from the opposing heavy armored infantry to the spear formation used to resist the impact of the cavalry. , Even just a single crossbow shot is enough to cause tearing destructive power, and the imperial commander who can come up with such a simple and effective method to directly destroy the tactical spear is exactly the tile known as the imperial fox Lithian
, a famous imperial general who is known for his assault skills, has long discovered that the imperial crossbow is launched at a distance of 30 meters. The strong penetrating power of the crossbow can directly penetrate the most lethal row or two of the opposing gun infantry. , And then presented this idea to the imperial emperor. With the approval of the imperial emperor, the Varisian Army was the first to be equipped with this improved imperial combat force
For the Feshan people, these imperial cavalry with the imperial falcon emblem and a red spear engraved on their shields are the incarnations of the gods of death. They wanted Feshan to rise and defeat the old enemy of the Istan Empire. The 300,000 troops, like a beast, look at Central Europe, which has just been hit hard by the Hungarian Rebellion. It only needs to drive the army westward and cross the border of the Bavarian Mess with Hungary. Central Europe is the situation where the wind is falling. , But the 300,000 Feshan elites who are in the midst of the sky, under the leadership of the old King Feshan, the lord of ambition, occupy the Bavarian terraces with snow and ice overnight,
The 300,000 army was ambushed by the Empire, and it was covered and killed by this cavalry all the way, collapsed for dozens of miles, and finally did not escape the fate of being strangulated by the whole army, and then the empire's famous general Varisian destroyed the capital of Feshan all the way. The invincible posture also completely shattered the Fei Shan people's backbone. Only a year has passed. The original tragedy is still in the Fei Shan people’s memory. Now the imperial cavalry has once again moved into the Fei Shan hinterland, and it will be violent and cruel. On the one hand, it was displayed in front of all the Fashan people. Just ten days ago, the administrative officer of Badia City in Fashan Province was attacked and seriously injured. Then the Feshan nobles in Badia City announced that Fashan had re-established and supported the former fee. King Shan’s princess Atalina is the new Lord of Feshan
Feishan people's evasive gazes along the road, no matter what kind of psychology they have, at this moment under the empire's powerful force, they are cautious not to show the slightest expression
When Fei Shan was so strong, he was defeated overnight by the empire. Now Fei Shan is not only economically dying, but also the lack of a large number of men has caused Fei Shan’s domestic work to be done by women, which is almost a comprehensive decadence. The atmosphere has made Fei Shan no longer have the thought of contending with the empire. Instead of showing much support for the restoration of Badya City, he believes that the arbitrary actions of these Fei Shan nobles have attracted brutality. The emperor regiment, so that the life that has finally calmed down is disrupted again, there will be **** conflicts, no one can say, but even if there are full of doubts and worries, they can only be deeply buried. In my heart, I would never dare to talk about it after a meal. The shining cìdāo of the empire could kill people at any time.
With the light of the wind lamp in the carriage, the fat man lowered his head and read the secret letter sent from the city of Badia. The incident of the attack on the imperial princess by the former Queen Feshan’s Atalina had been spread. The little-known in the Shan era, and even the forgotten Royal Highness, set off a huge wave in the Fei Shan nobility. Fei Shan's death was too fast at the beginning, not only because of the elite and exhausted relationship, but also Fei Shan's internal nobles were completely headless. , Under the strong crush of the empire's famous general Valisian, he was so confused and annexed by the empire. Now the emergence of this prince and daughter really made Feishan unwilling.
The nobles seem to have found an opportunity to restore the glory and privileges of the old days. In just a few days, there are more than one hundred Feshan nobles gathered in the city of Badia. There are various names and families. The coat of arms, which was newly erected in the small city of Badia, seems to have met in one night, and the perished Feshan Kingdom regained its glory
Of course this is not the case
Among more than one hundred nobles, at least ten of them are "Fei Shanren" inserted by the Imperial Intelligence Department. Ten families are personnel sent by Feshan and the Governor’s Office of the Istan Region. These families have been here for more than a year. Here, they have all been fully incorporated by Varisian. Many other families are holding a speculative mentality, and they really still have the heart to restore the country. I am afraid that it will only die for more than a dozen.
The most prestigious and prestigious person is Grace, the former Finance Minister of the Feshan Kingdom. The Finance Minister has been in charge of the finance of the Feshan Kingdom for 30 years. Although he is not very clever in financial management, he It was able to help the old King Feishan accumulate such a wealth, knowing that he still has some ability, and the letter of surrender written by the minister of Grace was placed on the fat man’s table three days ago, indicating that as long as the empire is When the army arrived in Badia, it immediately cooperated with the imperial army to launch a ruthless suppression of the rebellion. At the same time, Lord Grace also reported in his letter that the former Feshan Military Secretary Card, who was pushed as the new Feshan Marshal, had conspired many times. The act of rejuvenation, the last assassination of the imperial princess must be related to it,
For the emperor, this is a very ironic thing. The assassination of Princess Feshan is a masterpiece of the Ministry of Intelligence. Maybe the Princess Feshan who has been hiding in Tibet for more than a year could not even think of it. , The patriotic marquis who gave him a place to hide is actually a member of the Imperial Intelligence Department. After gaining trust and giving appropriate information at the appropriate time, everything will come naturally, and Gross’s secret letter will be readily available. Tucked into the drawer, you can see another letter to vote for honesty. The signature on it is the undersecretary of military affairs Card mentioned by Grace. The letter also mentions Grace plotting a rebellion.
This is a game of chess, and the chess pieces that fall on it have always been in the hands of the imperial emperor
" I just wanted to drop a bait in Badia, gather all the Feshan nobles who resent the empire, and give them a chance to fight the empire. Even if they fail, there will be no regrets. Thinking that it would be such a farce. "The fat man is also a little speechless. These Feshan nobles are fighting for power and gain. It has only been a few days after Badya announced the independence and restoration of the country. He has already fought for leadership and is incapable of fighting for leadership. As a nominal leader The queen Atalina was obviously unable to suppress these Feshan nobles, which had to make the fat opponents feel a headache. The Badya rebellion was just the smoke thrown out by the empire's deployment of troops to suppress it. It seems that I am afraid now. Before the imperial army was transferred in, the interior of Badya City would collapse on its own. The fat man would never let the smoke dissipate in advance, so the fat man could only order the imperial governor Varisian to be unwell and let the rebellious The Thirty Thousand Empire Army temporarily stopped approaching
The carriage crossed the city square. It was supposed to be very lively here, but in the depression of the whole area, there were only a few people on the square, and most of the shops on the street were closed. Some of the alleys could be seen in ragged clothes. Refugees, if you say the most prosperous place in the city, it is the red light district in the city, the noble women who went bankrupt in the war, the girls who wandered in the war, the women who sold themselves because of lack of food, when Feishan's men died, most of them were left. It’s a woman, and the biggest capital a woman can rely on is her body. The frustrated Feishan economy, but the red light district is exceptionally prosperous,
Fei Shan, as an important north-south transportation route, originally had considerable commercial geographic advantages. However, Fei Shan has always maintained a conservative strategy for hundreds of years, sometimes wandering between the East and the West, so Fei Shan’s domestic Feshan’s commerce is quite withered. There is no tradition of doing business, coupled with the serious lack of male labor force, Feshan area seems to be synonymous with poverty under the imperial rule, and in the eyes of the European countries, Feshan’s poverty has more Meaning
This is a land that has received a curse. The Emperor Falcon, who must report to him, undoubtedly angered Feishan for the assassination of his important minister, Duoze.
The result of the incident called "The Wrath of the King" is that the death of 300,000 Feshan people is not counted, and millions of Feshan people will suffer from poverty and hunger, killing Feshan. What a cruel punishment it is to bring hundreds of thousands of Feshan women down to the man of the country,
What a ruthless king did. The empire, which has always made money in a good way, obviously deliberately forgot Fei Shan, a land that made the emperor angry. This can not help but aggravate the rumors that the Falcon Empire is a cruel monarch. Fatty is too lazy to explain such rumors, his reputation is bad enough, and he doesn’t care much about one, but after a long time, it seems to become true
The whole empire seems to have acquiesced to the fact that the emperor punishes Fei Shan
The emperor fought in the Central and Biatian region for more than a year, and Princess Maomanaqing, who was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was unable to ascertain the true meaning of the emperor. For Feshan, the land that caused the emperor’s anger, she was helpless, even Both the Commercial Alliance and the Imperial Bank kept their distance from the Feshan area, and as the emperor’s confidant, Varisian, he leaned his direct energy and financial resources in the Istanbul area.
Compared with the poor Feshan Mountains, the fertile Istanbul Plain is obviously more worthy of his. This famous perfumer once believed that it has investment value. With limited funds, invest in the most reasonable place, even if Even the emperor can’t accuse Varisian’s actions for being wrong. Moreover, under the control of Varisian, the Istanbul region has gradually got rid of the aftermath of the war.
More new fields have been cultivated under the empire’s latest farming and irrigation technology. The commercial recovery has reached the level of the original Istan Empire, and the completion of the latest two large ports is like two A huge funnel network gathers the commercial resources of the entire Great Plains towards the port. The background of the once powerful Istanbul Empire can show its brilliance with a little guidance
The fat man retracted his gaze with some fascination, and once again swept over the report he had just closed. Fei Shan in front of him was indeed full of decadence and run-down, completely unlike the prosperous business style under the rule of the empire, even the port in front of him. In the city, there are not a single merchant ship calling at the port. The initiator of all this is the document sent from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Fei Shan’s current situation is very bad. I don’t say anything else, because the business is underdeveloped. At that time, he experienced a large-scale locust plague. This year, Feishan’s grain harvest was only less than one-third of the previous year. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Empire has reduced or exempted the agricultural tax in Feishan area, it is afraid that a large number of starvation will also occur this winter. Human events
Maybe I really put my anger on Fei Shan because of Duoze's business. Fatty's eyes lit up coldly, his emotions that he couldn't tell, let alone the empire that tried to figure out the emperor's mind. Up and down, it’s no wonder that the imperial princess Tulit Collin knew that she was surprised when she was in Fei Shan,
"It's over, isn't it? Just because of your anger, millions of people are going to fend for themselves. Even the emperor can't be so willful." The fat man sighed boredly~IndoMTL.com~ Regardless of the fee How **** Shan at the beginning, now the Fei Shan noble class has paid the price, and millions of Fei Shan people have also endured the suffering. Since they are already under the empire, then they should be treated equally according to the province of the empire. In the fat man’s mind Can not help flashing those two votes of honesty, there is not only surrender, but surrender! Fei Shan can't handle it anymore!
The carriage drove into a gorgeous courtyard with gilt gates. Standing at the door, an imperial red cape guard captain respectfully pulled the car door and put his hand on his chest to salute, and whispered, "Your Majesty, Order The national envoy is inside this building. Everything around has been searched, and no abnormalities have been found."
"Fortunately," the fat man got out of the carriage and nodded, and stepped up the steps in front of him under the respected gaze of the Imperial Guards
At the top of the steps, a stunning woman with a white veil on her face is standing there. The gold hazel on her upper body shakes with her body, undulating like golden waves, and the wine tied behind her head The long red ponytail, with the golden bow tied on it, swayed in the wind, spinning around her like a big golden butterfly.
"It is an honor to see Your Majesty Falcon" The corner of the woman's mouth showed a smile like spring breeze
"What should I call Your Excellency? Pudamia, or His Highness the Pope?" The fat man's mouth curled slightly, and the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of him made him feel a little bit of resistance, not to mention that the corners of his mouth were smiling. , And the look in his eyes is extremely cold, like a condescending mansion looking at mortals. Is it true that you have been a pope for a long time, and you really think you are a god?
