Power and Empire Chapter 1614: Inheritance of battle (7)
Hu Keqi force gently pushed open the door of the study, and saw His Majesty Falcon standing in front of the window with his back on his back. The beautiful seascape outside the window was like a huge expanse under the sunshine of early May summer. The emerald-colored emerald, the fleet broke through the white marks, the circling seabirds lingered up and down in the mast group, everything seemed so peaceful, but I don’t know why, Hu Keqili felt the calm of the sunset, like a storm is about to A sign of coming!
A layer of golden afterglow shines on the back of His Majesty Falcon. The light in the dark is like the center of a storm. His Majesty Falcon looks like a back from a hòu, supporting a powerful empire that spans the vast ocean outside the window. The Eagle Empire looks at the world, everything should be for him!
"Your Majesty!" Hu Keqili stood up respectfully, put his right hand on his chest and saluted the fat man,
"Hu Keqili!" The fat man turned from the window with a bit of thought, his eyes looked like a sharp sword at Hu Keqili, who was standing opposite, and said unexpectedly, "I thought it was a gift The deputy chief of the document, I didn’t expect it to be you, but it was just right! Lord Faaborg just sent someone from Gaul Kyoto to send an urgent letter. At the imperial meeting of the Gaul emperor that ended ten days ago, someone suggested it. In view of the current unstable situation in the Northwest, it is necessary to establish a Northwest General!"
"Northwest Commander?" Hu Keqili frowned his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were filled with anger. Is the emperor of the Gaul Empire blind? The entire Northwest is under the influence of our Falcon Empire, and the intention of establishing the Northwest General is too damnable! "
" It’s not a blind man, but surrounded by a group of self-righteous officials, it’s almost the same if you’re not a blind man! "The fat man has a calm face and can't see much emotion, so he said slowly." Although he knows that the opposition has no effect, Fu Lord Fort still expressed strong opposition at the meeting immediately, and threatened to refuse to return to the front line to fight the Slavs, and asked the Emperor of Gaul to reconsider, but the Emperor Gaul rejected the decision of the Imperial Conference, which should come down soon. Fu Master Fort, let us be better prepared!"
"Prepare? Master Fabao means...mouth...to go to war?" Hu Keqili hesitated and asked cautiously
"If it's a war, how big is our chance of winning in your opinion?" The fat man asked eagerly
"With all due respect, Your Majesty, if the Gauls are so ignorant, we might as well directly use force to occupy the entire northwest." Hu Keqili has a calm face. With the arrival of local reinforcements, we have gathered forces on the northwest coast. It has reached 200,000, of which more than 150,000 troops can fight. If the previous accumulation of forces to expand the strategic space is for greater self-protection, then now is the time for us to show our fangs. Now the entire northwest is our power. Even if the scope is positive and the Gaul empire is hard to beat, it is just as powerful as a battle!"
"Showing fangs?" The fat man rolled his eyes to his powerful thugs and grinned slightly. "Our fangs are not so sharp. Although we have taken control of the northwest coast, it does not mean that the entire northwest will stand completely. On our side,
Once war starts, I can guarantee that most of the Northwestern region will not hesitate to separate from our northwest coast. After all, they have been attached to the Gaul Empire for decades, and many generations have been vassals of the Gaul Empire. This kind of identification and the resulting interpersonal relationship context cannot be changed in just one year, especially Denia and Rusend, who have more than one hundred thousand troops, show respect to us on the face of it, in fact, the mainland Isn't it just using their own small calculations, once war starts, we need to disperse more than half of our troops just to deal with these two areas, and the recent expansion of Murphy Obern's Southwest Army in the southwest is not so fast! Speaking of war with Gaul, I’m afraid this Murphy Obune is more anxious than us."
" Murphy Obern will go to war with Gaul...
. . . . ? "Hu Keqili looked stunned
"Do you know? Lord Faaborg’s letter said that at this time the Gaul Congress, the only person who opposed the establishment of the Southwest General, was Murphy Obern!" The fat man did not answer. , On the contrary, there was a cold light in his eyes that is not easy to detect,
"No, according to our relationship with the Southwest, even if it is not hostile, it will never be a friend. It is good if he doesn't support it. How can he still speak for us at the Imperial Conference!" Hu Keqili was surprised. Froze for a moment, saying that he could not imagine it,
The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, walked to the desk, picked up a letter on it, and shook it. "In the beginning, Murphy Obern was in charge of the Southwest to contain us, but now, it’s only a short time. In May, instead of confrontation, the same voice was rarely heard in the southwest and northwest.
seemingly normal on the surface, in fact, the turmoil caused within the Gaul Empire is definitely no less than a small earthquake. Now many eyes must be watching to see how the Gaul Emperor handled this matter. Otherwise, other regions will also follow suit, and the entire Gaul is afraid that a crisis will break out in an instant!
" With the commander of the Northwest, the next one should be the Southwest. Emperor Gaul’s mind is too obvious. Murphy Obern is only worried about his lips and teeth. The next one is his turn. After all, everyone can see. The position of Southwest Commander, a confidant, will never fall on him!"
Hu Keqili showed relief on his face and sighed, "Murphy Obern is a smart man! It’s easy to make icing on the cake, but it’s hard to give charcoal in the snow. With this kind of favor, if necessary, pull us over to Kyoto, indeed More reliable than those nobles"
"Smart! It can also be said to be ambitious"
The fat man put down the letter with a chuckle, and looked out the window. "In this letter, even Lord Faaborg was a little moved by his support. Rarely, he said something to this young man who had taken his position. Good thing, I know that the person in charge of this new Southwest District secretly allows many chambers of commerce in the Southwest District to set up an underground trading field at the exit of the pass. This way, the nearest water tower will get the first month, and we can get our goods at the lowest price invisibly. Then it changed hands at noon and sold it to the hinterland of Gaul at a high price.
"The reason for speaking for us is actually for his own benefit," said the fat man. "He still needs us to attract the attention of Kyoto. This Murphy Oberen just defeated the reputation of Gangfei, Absorbing a large amount of labor force generated by the war, the military strength of the Southwest Army has exceeded 150,000, and its combat power and morale are even more than before! Maybe the Emperor Gaul himself did not expect that Murphy Aub was thrown by himself to prevent disasters. En unexpectedly will be like a fish in the southwest, and his fame is as high as the sky. Now that I want him to give up, it’s no wonder that I don’t want to let go,
And with the buffer of Lord Faaborg, even if we know that he will use our light to develop his influence in the southwest, and even use us to fight the emperor, he will choose to turn a blind eye because of this relationship. Just one eye! "
"This guy doesn’t want to use the southwest to come...
. . . . . "Hu Keqili curled his lips slightly, with an expression that he wanted to say but stopped,
Is independent from the Gaul Empire? It’s hard to tell! There are examples of boldness like our northwestern area before, and Murphy Obune has this kind of thought and it’s normal. "Fat man sits down in his seat, ten Fingers crossed on the belly, eyes flickering, the voice said in a deep voice
" In fact, he should have planned this way from the beginning! The fat man unexpectedly revealed a trace of appreciation. "In name, he lost a bet with us and had to let go of the entire southwestern market, but on the other hand, The bulk of the cargo from our caravans did not fill up the Southwest economy that was hit hard by the Congolese empire’s invasion. You should know that although the Congolese empire’s army withdrew, it also destroyed about half of the southwestern area. In the grain-producing areas, coupled with the instability of people in the enemy-occupied areas, the stock of grain is almost exhausted. If a large amount of grain seeds and cotton and other materials cannot be obtained in time to survive the winter and spring seasons, turmoil will occur throughout the southwestern region.
And if these very scarce materials are purchased from the hinterland of Gaul, the price will be twice to five times higher than the real cost price, and they will be limited in quantity, but if they are purchased from our merchants , Because there is no tax cost, and the road is close, the price is at most one-third higher than the cost price,
" At this point, it’s not that our northwestern southwest has already collapsed from the inside!” The fat man’s voice stopped, and his fingers tapped on the table slowly and said, “For the time being, no matter what Murphy Obern’s calculations are, at least the southwest The district secretly has the thought of confronting Gaul Kyoto, which is a good thing for us. Since I may be a mutually beneficial companion in the future, I really want to meet this Murphy Obern. Some things are open. It’s better than being sneaky now!"
"Would you like to go down and arrange it?" Hu Keqili said cautiously
"No hurry, I heard that this year is the celebration of the first year of Emperor Gaul's throne." The fat man smiled slightly and waved his hand. "It's a pity that there have been too many things recently, otherwise, I wouldn't mind going to Gaul's Kyoto. Now, anyway, I am also in power on the northwest coast of the Gaul Empire, and the Gaul Ministry of Government has sent me an invitation to watch the ceremony. The centuries-old empire still has some memorable details, if you don’t take advantage of the peace. At first glance, I’m afraid I’ll never see it again when I reach the burning city! The celebration of the first year of the throne, don’t become the last light of the empire’s sunset!"
"The afterglow of the empire?" Hu Keqili glanced out the window with a weird look. Under the golden sunset, the long blue coast was dazzling. It is because of the dazzling that few of them seemed untrue. After hesitating for a while, Hu Keqili boldly said, "Your Majesty, there is actually one thing reported by his subordinates this time! The port has captured a Dongting man!"
"Dongting people?" The fat man was a little puzzled. Is it worth the fuss to capture a Dongting?
"Frustrated, it's the Dongting people outside the long wall!" Hu Keqili lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and said in a more serious tone. "Although the port is not sure if what the other party said is true, according to Some sailors from Cogits at the port confirmed that the Dongting man who accidentally came to the hinterland of the empire did not belong to the now known Dongting tribe, and should have come from outside the Long Wall!"
"What tribe is the other party?" The fat man got up from his seat a little excited, and walked back and forth a few steps,
Dongting people have always been my biggest worry. Although there are only 10,000 people this time, no one can guarantee that there will be no more people from Dongting. Can the long wall of defense block the people of Dongting? The horseshoes of China are still an unknown unknown. In history, the Mongols used to ride on the European continent. At that time, there were only 10,000 Mongolian cavalry soldiers. They beat all of Europe in a sea of blood. The feeling of fear made the fat man feel like he was Like a small bird that flies around and builds nests with wood in its mouth every day, always worrying about being blown by an unknown storm and having nothing all night, thinking of seeing the frozen garden riding boat area outside the long wall to drive slaves. In the tragic scene of Lin Li's siege, Fatty absolutely believes that the brutality of the Dongting people is absolutely destructive to a country and nation.
"The other party claims to be Mierbu"
Hu Keqili responded cautiously. As soon as his voice fell, the fat man's footsteps suddenly stopped and his shiny eyes made Hu Keqili speculate.
Is it wrong? Or is this Gedongting person a fake? Then he heard His Majesty Falcon whispered, "It turned out to be the Mier Ministry of the Great Wall Battle. It is really nowhere to be found in the battle of the Great Wall. It takes no effort to get it!" Of course Fatty Mierbe remembers this. The name of all the Slavs who participated in the siege that day gritted their teeth, the cavalry of the Qian Mier's troops scattered before they had real contact in the battle that day. The fat man still remembers this, and originally hoped to catch a few of the Dongting people. , But he didn’t even touch one of the hairs. Afterwards, I learned from the Slavs that these eastern cavalry came from the same tribe, Mi’er.
"Where is the person?" The fat man asked eagerly, finally there is a real "Dongting man". With this person, the Dongting Empire, which has always been under pressure, can finally uncover the mystery. What the Veil People fear most is not knowing. As long as you fully understand any problem, there will be a way to deal with it. The fat guy also wants to find out whether the fake envoy that day said that the Eastern Court Empire will launch the Western Expedition. It's really unreal.
When the fat man saw Brother Mieljin, the ambitious young man in the East Court was lying on the cold ground of the prison and fainted on the ship. He was beaten to death by the guard when he was beaten by the guard at the pier. , Dragged in all the way from the outside, such a toss, even if the body of Mierjin is very strong, he can't stand it. The port has reported layer by layer, it is already the fifth day when he reaches Hu Keqili's hand, wait until the fat man arrives. At that time, Brother Mi'erjin had already lost most of his life, if he didn’t breathe, he might have been thrown out as a corpse
"You have been tortured?" The fat man glared at the prison officer, and the prison officer weakened his legs on the spot and quickly groaned. "No, Mr. Hu Keqili specially confessed that he will not be tortured."
" Then what’s going on?" The fat man looked angry, and the hot air was filled with an unpleasant burnt smell, soldering iron, clamps, and a few clamp sticks that were temporarily found with blood stains. In addition to Ming's tall and strong naked torturer, ordinary people's fart pissed. In front of him, a grim-looking executive hand held a leather whip that had just been drenched in oil in his hand. The white Sensen’s salt water is splashed on it. This kind of leather whip can make the prisoner's skin become fleshy with just one click, and the pain will die alive, the pain will enter the bone marrow, and even the soul will be trembling, and the sting of the salt water will not faint
"This is the last prisoner, that is a murderer who specializes in killing children. We are really not angry, so... "The prison officer looked pale and could not speak clearly
" Forget it, let’s go. "The fat man waved his hand displeased. He was a little anxious just now. Now he can see that there is indeed no torture, otherwise the young clothes won’t be so complete, even a little blood on it. No, my face is a little pale, but there is no such kind of dark blue that was caused by the great pain. The prison officer and the people ran away. The Falcon Empire also has prisons. If there is a prison, there will naturally be these people. In this era, prisons have always been linked to the darkness. As long as the ministry is too much, the fat man will not go deep into it. This kind of thing can’t be managed completely. At most, the prison officer’s boss is found, and it is ruthless. Reprimanded.
In a moment of confusion, the almost unconscious Brother Milkin raised his unkempt head, his eyes finally focused in a trance. He was a fat man dressed in general, lifting his chin with a riding whip, Brother Milkin Smiled bitterly, and said in a weak tone, "Don't look, kill if you want"
Fatty was taken aback unexpectedly~ IndoMTL.com~ He doesn’t understand Dongting language, but this young man dressed up in the grassland pops out of his mouth, which is enough to make him move a little bit. It seems that this guy is still It really came from outside the long wall,
"Hehe, forgot, you don't understand my Dongting language!" The young man looked up again weakly, this time with a sentence or two similar to the pronunciation of Ikadiva Dongting", especially Dongting. The pronunciation of the two words Ting is exactly the same.
Fatty quickly lifted his head with a riding whip, looked at him with a pale face and said, "Are you from Dongting?"
" Is it? "Brother Mierjin rolled his eyes weakly, he was too weak, he didn't sell the face of the fat man, and the corners of his mouth grinned, but in the next moment, brother Mierjin's gaze was frozen in the fat man's grip. Up the left **** with the whip,
The black and bright obsidian ring is like a black star, almost making the eyes of Brother Mieljin burst out,
Anyone from the steppe has heard of the Obsidian King Ring of the Golden Family. This is proof that the glorious empire existed.
Brother Mierjin has never seen the obsidian king ring, but he often hears the elders in the clan mention the country. The magic of the obsidian king ring is that even in a dark environment, the obsidian king ring can One lit up,
It is a gift from the God of the Prairie to the Golden Family who protects the grassland. Only the Golden Family is eligible to wear it.
