Power and Empire Chapter 106: The Storm of Kyoto (3)
"Rebelled, rebelled!" The city guard who was kicked to the ground by the Duke Jones, climbed up in mud, as the famous "skinscracker" in the city guard, he had suffered such a loss there, and his face was unsatisfactory. He cursed at the Grand Duke Jones, "I don't care what **** duke you are. This is the capital, not where you hillbilly aristocrats are playing power. Here I am the master." Then he shouted to the surrounding "Come on! There are people here!" His Majesty the King who dared to despise the wise and martial arts. "Where did the arrogant old man Jones have seen such a poppy, his face flushed immediately, and his whole body trembled.
Soon, a group of city guards who came to hear the news surrounded the Grand Duke Jones with a carriage, and the city guard patted the dust on his body and pointed to the trembling Grand Duke Jones and said, "Is there any That's the bad old man who insulted His Majesty the King. He should be imprisoned in Hudi Prison and let the big rats in the prison eat his meat every day! "Hudi Prison is a severe sentence prison outside of Kyoto, and all the prisoners are right. The royal family is a criminal who commits a great rebellion. It only sees people coming in all the year round, and no one is seen. It is rumored outside that there are large groups of mice biting people while people are asleep every night.
"Master, you have been in a big disaster this time!" The young nobleman who was riding with Duke Jones in the car, looked at the chilling spear around him, his face turned pale, and he complained, "These city guards It turned out that they were all famous poppi rogues in the capital. Taking advantage of the Kujit invasion, the soldiers were in short supply. They used the money to buy a city guard, and gave them a small amount of money on weekdays. If they really enter the Hudi prison, this Things are troublesome, there is a special place to detain felons, and they didn’t come out alive when they went in!"
"Shit! I want to look at the face of a small town guard!" The fierce Duke Jones doesn't care about this. After all, he is a ruthless character who has crawled out of the mountain of blood. The knight sword in his hand is A flash of light was drawn in front of him, and he put on a desperate posture in front of him, "I'm not afraid of the Kujites, and I'm afraid of a few city guards. If you have a seed, come up, I just feel itchy!" /
"Captain Tatudi, this dead old man talks the most nonsense! Don't listen to his nonsense, or take him down early." The city guard hurriedly urged behind the soldiers, "According to the decree of the kingdom, you should send him off. Go to Hudi Prison!"
"Wait! Don't do it yet, you said you are Duke Yuyehua?" The captain of the city guard felt that something was wrong, looked up and down the old man, waved his hand to stop the subordinates who were about to rush up, as a participant After the warriors who fought for the defense of Kyoto, the captain of the city guard had heard of Duke Yuyehua’s name. Although the old man in front of him was thin and thin, his sturdy and courageous spirit was very strong. It was definitely rolled by the corpse mountain in a sea of blood. Character.
"You said you are Lord Duke, do you have any credentials?" The captain of the city guard cautiously asked. As a real warrior, Tatudi didn't want to be the running dog of these "skinned" city guards
"Certificate!" The stubborn old man was stunned. The family crest representing the status of the Duke of Jones was confiscated as a trophy by the Kurgits. Although it was returned later, the 13 precious gems inlaid on it were stripped. Exquisite, there is only one pitted copper ring, if I take out this tattered, and say that it is the identity of the Duke, the big teeth will not be wiped out!
Grand Duke Jones was silent for a while, making the surrounding atmosphere even colder, and the captain of the city guard Tatudi said with a cold face, "Since there is no proof, please ask the Duke to come with us to the city defense department. I believe everything will be clear. !"
"I'm really Duke Yu Yehua!!!" The stubborn old man had to explain a few more words, and suddenly heard a silly voice behind him. This familiar voice almost didn't scare the soul of Duke Jones. , A fat figure emerged from behind the city guard’s encirclement and shouted while pushing away the city guard
"Oh, isn't this the boss of Jones? Why don't you say hello to the branch when you come to Kyoto! You see, this is not causing trouble, right? Running fast is not necessarily correct"
The fat man walked in with a grin, waving a Kyoto Pass issued by the business alliance, and bends down to the captain of the city guard very politely: "Please don’t be offended by this lord, this boss Jones is our business alliance’s invitation. The guests of Kyoto, because they are not familiar with the rules of Kyoto, make everyone laugh." The fat man took out a bag of gold coins from his pocket, "This is a little bit of heart, I will invite you to drink together in the evening!"
"Samo's business alliance?" Tatudi's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Now the elders in Kyoto are listening to the Satsuma, not to mention the City Guard, even the Ministry of Military Affairs does not dare to take care of the Satsuma, people. Tens of thousands of elites were stationed in the outskirts of Kyoto. The private armies of nobles who were known as elites were driven away like ducks by the Satsuma. It is better not to be troublesome for a small character like yourself. Maybe sometime, the Satsuma will become. The master of Kyoto.
"Since I’m a member of the business alliance, forget about it! But don’t pretend to be a nobleman anymore. If this matter is discovered by other city guards, it will inevitably cause trouble." Tatudi smiled and took the money bag. I thought about it secretly, judging from the weight, there are hundreds of them, and I thought to myself, "No wonder it is said that the Satsuma merchants are the richest people in the kingdom. With this boldness, it is enough for those petty ghosts in Kyoto to be ashamed. Up!"
"I didn't expect to meet an adult here, it seems we are indeed very destined!" Seeing the captain of the city guard leaving with the city guards, Duke Jones turned his head in embarrassment, but saw the fat man dressed as a businessman. "Why do you dress like this? Where are you going?"
"Hehe, wherever you go, I will go wherever you go! You promised me to give me the most precious treasure of the Jones family! This time I finally met, you'd better give it to me, lest you You know the pain that I worry about day and night, and can’t sleep, you know, I don’t like to worry about people all the time. The first few are dead, but you are still alive."
The fat man put his hand on the shoulder of the Grand Duke Jones boldly, his face smiled like a pair of old friends who hadn’t seen him for many years, and the stubborn old man shivered with anger in his tone, knowing that this time is inevitable. , With a bleak expression
"My lord is really joking. Now my lord is in the kingdom, and even the king of Zuowei and Dueric have been defeated by you. The name of the first lord of Wichia is very famous! Believe it! It won’t be long before even the royal family has to look at your face. A big man like you can still see things from our small place there!"
"Hey! You know this too!" The fat man looked at the Grand Duke Jones in surprise. This old man even explained his intention to enter Beijing this time. I really don’t know whether he saw his own thoughts or guessed. The insight of this old liar is not so sharp
"Hehe, nonsense, don’t be offended!" The Grand Duke Jones saw the surprised look of the fat man, and he couldn't help but hesitated. It is not impossible to establish a new dynasty! It seems that I have to make a decision early. This is an opportunity that God has given to the Jones family! If you don't grasp it, you will be punished by God!"
"The family bought a temporary mansion in Kyoto in the past years. If the adults don't dislike it, please go to me!" The shrewd and experienced Duke Jones changed his words, his expression on his face could melt the ice with enthusiasm. How can I get a relationship with Fatty? This is a potential stock with unlimited potential. There are not many opportunities like this.
"And the treasure of our family is in the mansion. If adults really want it, then only in the mansion can you truly appreciate the beauty of the treasure!"
"Well? Only in the mansion can you appreciate the beauty of the treasure?" The fat man's face was slightly taken aback. He didn't know what the old man Jones was selling. He was silent for a while, nodded and accepted it. Anyway, the Governor's Mansion is still being built. It’s not bad to stay at the old liar’s house for the time being! With the old liar's familiarity with the nobles in Kyoto, he can make up for this knowledge, so as not to spread it out like an idiot every time.
The fat man waved his hand to the coachman dressed as a guard. "You send the goods to the Governor's Mansion first, and do what I ordered, and I will contact you soon." Then, the fat man got on Duke Jones's. The carriage, the merchants of the business alliance with the fat man, proved that the carriage of the Duke Jones entered the Kyoto Kristol without hindrance.
"This is Kyoto? Why don’t you even have an open shop?" The fat man looked at the scene outside the carriage window with erratic eyes. This is the first time for the fat man to come to Kyoto, but the outside scene is really not good, I don’t know if it is. Because it was too early, or for other reasons, there were only a few sparsely scattered pedestrians on the streets outside, and most shops were closed. There were quite a few soldiers patrolling back and forth, and there was no sight of Kyoto at all. Is it a shop in a city that just ended the war and harassment~IndoMTL.com~? Ha ha, a shop with no goods, who would dare to open the door? "The young nobleman with the car sat opposite the fat man, and saw the surprised look of the fat man, his face sighed with irritation." Since the Kujit siege, all the shops in the city All were robbed by the refugees, the merchants ran away, and the nobles smuggled a large amount of food and sold it to refugees at high prices. At the most expensive time, a bucket of rice could be exchanged for ten refugees to the front line to block the Kujites, and finally all the money flowed After entering the pockets of the nobles, the refugees either died in the hands of the Kujites or became the lowest-level mercenaries of the noble army."
"Mercenary?" The fat man remembered the "cannon fodder" troops that used to consume enemy combat supplies and were extremely poorly disciplined and weak in combat effectiveness during the Battle of Toda Fortress. At that time, he was still wondering that such troops could also fight? It turned out that all of them were expropriated refugees in the city.
"Yes, there were more than 600,000 people in Crest, but now there are only more than 300,000 left, and half of the people are left. Now Satsuma has occupied the southern part of Kyoto, and many citizens have gone there to do business. Go, how can it not look empty!"
"Three hundred thousand!" Hearing this incredible number, the fat man was also frightened. Hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder troops used their own flesh and blood to block the Kujit’s iron hooves, how it feels a bit like the Soviet Union back then To defend the taste of Moscow, it is said that the Soviet soldiers who were on the battlefield at that time were pushed to the forefront with five bullets. If they wanted a gun, they went to the front line to pick it up!
In front is a dense firepower net constructed by German heavy machine guns. The bullet hits the person who can’t lift his head. Behind him is the Soviet machine gun. Whoever dares to retreat and shoot on the spot, as soon as the charge is sounded, he has to get up and charge, not the same. Click on you, what is called cannon fodder, this is it.
