Power and Empire Chapter 1620: Inheritance of Battle (4)

Capital of the Gaul Empire,

A celebration of the new emperor’s 27-year-old birth is being intensively prepared. The fog of the morning is still filling the streets, and the city guard riding a black carriage is already holding a three-meter-long one. Iron forks hung strips of colored ribbons on the canopy of the roadside trees. The shops on both sides of the street were hung with brand-new lanterns. The antique brass base was polished brightly with a rag.

A horse-drawn carriage with a family crest appeared in the morning mist, and the wheels were crushed on the flat boulevards, which made many cities busy dressing up the city. Hearing the sound of the wheels, the guards turned their heads and looked at the door of the car. On the family crest of the Julius family, many people’s eyes flashed with an imperceptible surprise

Julius Fortress came back this time to participate in the celebration of the birth of His Majesty the Emperor ten days later. Because it was the first year of the new emperor’s reign, it was very grand. It was still in the fall of this year. The Ministry of Government Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs arranged the manpower and material resources as soon as possible to increase the progress of the restoration of the old palace, but the report submitted did not get the approval of the new emperor.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has rewritten a report and increased its financial investment by one-third. I thought it would be able to win the favor of the new emperor, but after half a month, it is still falling apart, and time is approaching. , Don’t look at the time, but there are still a few months, but the scope of this celebration is huge. The entire dìdū has a population of over one hundred and fifty miles, and there are as many as 73 palaces and mansions. There are 31 hunting palaces, 11 palaces to cultivate and appreciate the scenery, and the others are palaces inside the palace.

All these must be refurbished on the day of the celebration, the walls must be painted, the potholes in the streets must be filled, and even the trees must be decorated with colorful decorations, and they are responsible for this kind of chores. It is the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The time has been delayed until November of this year. The Ministry of Internal Affairs finally got the answer through a certain relationship

It is not that the emperor did not approve, but that the emperor has long been angrily throwing the report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs into the trash can,

"How can such a lifeless palace represent the imposing power of the new emperor? For hundreds of years, the empire needs a palace of kings that is more magnificent and magnificent than all previous palaces in order to show the majesty of the Gaul Empire" New The meaning of the emperor. Finally, it came from the mouth of the attendant

"His Majesty needs a sign that can represent himself, not just a statue of a lifeless new emperor, but a huge landscape that can be celebrated by future generations after thousands of years, in order to show the power of the empire. There are a lot of things, the Ministry of Internal Affairs should provide a plan to build a huge palace. The name of this new palace even set the name of "Boalami Palace", Boalami's God of War in Gaul mythology, in the name of God of War The new palace named. You should know the inner thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor! "The people who came to convey the message smiled mysteriously

The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly realized that they quickly rebuilt a report that the old palace was outdated and requested the construction of the new palace.

On the second day after the report was submitted, it was approved by His Majesty the New Emperor. The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to delay and immediately organized manpower and material resources. However, due to the vastness of the project and the high requirements, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been exhausted. This palace has been six months since the beginning of November, and only one-third of the palace has just been completed. There are too many reasons for this. For the Gaul Empire, both the year and this year have been revealed. There were bad signs. First of all, the defeat of the Gaul Empire against Seattle in the Central and Biya area caused the loss of more than 100,000 of the empire’s Eastern Army Corps. It marked the complete failure of the empire’s centuries-old eastward expansion policy. The turmoil began. The new emperor gave up the eastward strategy of the empire for hundreds of years, and instead shifted the empire’s military policy to the west.

Then there was the turmoil in the northwest of the empire. Although the scope of the turmoil did not affect the interior of the empire, the turmoil set off within the empire can be described by an invisible earthquake.

The struggle between Alger’s and Julius’s is only superficial. Everyone can see that this time is actually the result of the emperor’s work behind the scenes. Come on, if the emperor is openly targeting the northwest, or even It won’t shake all the forces in the empire in this way,

But the emperor’s overly biased attitude, and the direct revocation of Julius Voor’s Slavic consul, coupled with the sensitive identity of Alger’s farmhouse, are undoubtedly like being in the balance with a heavy pressure on one side. Palm, the other side picks up a few chips. The Julius family is over. The dignitaries in Kyoto think that the Julius family is not dead this time, and will face the situation of being suppressed to the end. The magic is here. Here, the sudden emergence of the northwest coast made this farce self-directed and acted by the emperor's majesty, suddenly a sense of comedy turned around.

The carriage of Fort Julius Fowl passed by the road beside the new palace, and its eyes swept across the huge palace in the stone wall to the outline of the sky. Fort Julius Fell’s eyes were fixed on it unconsciously. It is undeniable. , Even if you see this huge building across the ring wall, you can feel the kind of intimidation coming from this huge red roof palace,

He has already heard that because the construction of the new palace will be completed in the future, and the old palace is under repair, the number of people in the recent Imperial Council has been greatly reduced.

What used to be decided after group discussion and debate has become a private discussion between His Majesty the Emperor and several core ministers. In the past, His Majesty the Emperor would take the initiative to solicit the opinions of the ministers, but now, at some point. , Ignored the various suggestions of various ministries and gave orders directly

"The battle ahead is tense, but the rear is full of singing and dancing, really...'

The God of Juliers Fort, who has just returned to Kyoto, solemnly lowered the curtain of the car, and didn’t want to look at it anymore. The carriage was dark without the light, and Juliers Fort was deeply tired, so he arrived. After fighting the front lines of the Slavs, I discovered that the situation has become so severe. Although the Slavs are becoming stronger and stronger, they even have a tendency to oppress the entire northern part of the empire. According to the latest intelligence, in the north where the Slavs are raging, some equipment is rudimentary. The Slavs are taking up garrison duties in the occupied areas,

This is not good news. The emergence of these guards means that the Slavs no longer make a profit and leave like in previous years, but have a long-term garrison plan.

But the Ministry of Military Affairs refused to provide reinforcements, nor could it offer effective measures to stop it. This made Julius Faubourg also bewildered. He came from an elevated position. Although nominally the title of commander-in-chief against the Slavs, the troops under his command were all doing their own things. The army moved northward to 80,000. In the army, there are less than 15,000 troops under the control of Julius Fort. This is because these troops have a good relationship with the Julius family.

At three o'clock in the morning, when Julius Fort slept the most, a group of guard cavalry in the armor of the royal family came to the house of the Julius family. "Open the door, we are the guards of His Majesty the Emperor!" A guard completed officer slapped the iron gate with heavy slaps, and the door officer was awakened in confusion,

"I have something to look for Lord Julius Faubourg!" The guard officer walked in imposingly, with a hint of respect. Regardless of the emperor's wish, the guard officer knew very well that if it wasn't for the emperor to withdraw without authorization Without Julius Faubourg, the Slavic ruler, there will be no such troublesome situation in the north of the empire. In the face of a family that has guarded the border for the empire for decades, and the recent injustice that this family has encountered, the wind of the entire dìdū has been turned. The situation and status of the first-line elites similar to the Julius family are absent. few. No one dares, one day, His Majesty the Emperor will not treat himself like the Julius family. This invisible alliance of rabbits and foxes will give the Julius family a lot of secret supporters. Otherwise, Julius Faubourg will become a real polished general.

"What is it that requires labor?" Julius Faubourg came to the living room wearing only a thick fur, and the guard officer saluted him. "Your Majesty the Emperor has just decided to invite Master Faaborg to participate in the imperial meeting held in the palace this morning.

"Let me participate in the Imperial Conference!" Julius Faubourg looked at the order book in confusion, his face became very weird

It is not surprising that His Majesty the Emperor knows that he has returned. As the Gaul Empire, which has been standing in the northern lands for more than three hundred years, naturally has its own intelligence network. Leaving the barracks, you are already under the eyes of the emperor. Even in the barracks, your every move will be reported to the emperor every day. Otherwise, how could the emperor fall asleep!

"Well, I'll follow you when I wear a few clothes" Julius Fort, and then go to my room to look for clothes

"I miss it!"

Julius Faubourg picked up the clothes on the hanger and couldn't help thinking of the period of time spent on the northwest coast. Although it is also facing a crisis, at least there is zìyóu and will not be monitored. There is also this wonderful son-in-law of Fatty, who can always bring shocking surprises at critical moments. You don’t need to be trembling and tiring every day like now. Even if you want to find someone for a word, you will feel the gaze of being watched. From the barracks to the mansion, the emperor’s eyes are everywhere. Even if he knows it, these people are very bold, because they know that they can’t do anything about it.

Fort Juliers Fort walked up to the carriage waiting at the door. The guards officer led 20 royal guard cavalry to guard the two wings. The carriage rolled on the stone road with a rhythmic creaking sound

The road in the early morning is still very dark, and stars can be seen in the sky. The starlight shines on the guard cavalry armor outside the carriage. Two curved battle flags like huge wings are placed on the northern part of the guard cavalry armor. The metal piece full of white sè is like the wings of the **** of war Boalami, which makes the guard cavalry look more majestic. The iron piece swaying in the wind is like a starlight shining

"Hehe, the iron wings are facing the wind!

Julius Fever retracted his gaze and grinned slightly. When he was on the front line, he listened. His Majesty has just redesigned the guard armor, requesting that the guard cavalry look more in line with the empire’s first cavalry. , I don’t know which flattering guy who designed this so-called "Iron Wing Windward" guard armor. It looks really good-looking. In addition, most of the young guard cavalry are children of Kyoto. They look good and fit. The upper iron-wing windward armor, one by one, is just like the reincarnation of the God of War, just to cater to the emperor’s exaggerated taste,

The emperor’s celebration is imminent, and the reports sent back from the front-line generals have also begun to sing praises to the emperor. The emperor is war. It seems that the army is under the command of the emperor. The Slavs who fought were broken, and millions of corpses were destroyed. The Slavs had already been defeated in the battle report. The Slavs were fleeing. The Slavs had lost their helmets and their armors. The Slavs had reached the situation where they saw the imperial team and fled. Things like that are almost full of articles, and the only one still reporting truthfully here is Julius Faubourg. Anyway, it’s a polished shot, and Julius Faubourg doesn’t matter.

Julius Fort took a deep breath and sighed. Although the war ahead had improved, it was also because the Slavs were busy consolidating the occupied area and temporarily stopped the offensive. And not because of the emperor’s counterattack. His Majesty is really arrogant behind closed doors. Don’t you know that the extra wings on this body are like 20 kilograms of weight in vain. Wearing such armor, in addition to looking better, There is no fart, but to inlay the extra wings. The bolts under the arms were buckled, which greatly restricted the flexibility of the cavalry to wield weapons.

In recent times, the Slavs have been tossing too much. Julius Faubourg received reports that refugees from the north began to appear on the outskirts of dìdū, with a number of approximately seven to eighty thousand people, according to the quality of those officials. I'm afraid I won't report it! Just as he thought about it, the carriage stopped and the palace of Gaul arrived.

Fort Julius Fold came down from the carriage, the cold moon was high in the sky, and the sky of Moss was covered with gleaming stars.

Looking up, Julius Faubourg’s eyes containing countless thoughts once again set on this huge building that has condensed the luck of the empire for three hundred years. The glory, glory, and pride of the Gaul Empire once again The whole world turned into a dark reflection under the sky full of stars. I don’t know why, Julius Faubourg suddenly remembered the fat man on the northwest coast.

They are also two ambitious young people, one sinks into the deep palace of the empire, accustomed to being deceived and rejoicing, unwilling to face the growing cracks in the empire, and acting as a "God of War". An arrogant dream, another expansion in the barren land of the northwest, seemingly calm, but capable of overturning the world, the gap between the two has surpassed the gap in talent, the Gaul Empire at this moment , Just like the gloom before the heavy rain and storm, will the prosperous town with tens of millions of people be like the sky full of stars, and will eventually disappear without a trace as the sun rises,

Before arriving at the meeting place of the Imperial Conference, Julius Faubourg had already seen a dozen or so imperial ministers standing in the corridor of the palace in the east and west. Seeing him walking by, they were rare. Looking at it neatly, the voice of the words also stopped. That kind of feeling seemed to really look at the silence of a clown when he stepped on the stage. The first thing that caught your eyes was the newly promoted Minister of State, Duke Miles, the potbellied man. The bald nobleman is standing on the right side in front of the meeting gate. Among the dozens of other ministers, they are all popular close to him.

And the two people whispering on his left side, one is Dispin, the undersecretary of finance, who is thin and slender. This shy guy is like a hawker in a vegetable market, his eyes glow when he sees anything advantageous. Another one turned out to be Popitov, who is the treasurer of the palace.

The whole of Kyoto knows that he shares the same hobby with the small and thin finance minister, that is, raising beautiful slaves,

It is said that their favorite is the 2 to 1 posture. When they talked very happily, they occasionally made a low laugh with obscene laughter. I knew that these two guys were probably just from A beautiful slave was called up, and she looked quite jīng god, as long as a man understands this kind of unusual excitement

"Master Fabao! The next official is Murphy Obern from the southwestern district." A handsome young military attache with purple hair and handsome appearance stepped forward to say hello. His straight posture brought a compelling momentum. , Although both of them are in charge of the Southwest District, it is the first time that they have actually met.

"Master Murphy Obune, I didn't expect you to come back too!"

Julius Faubourg looked surprised, and suddenly felt that this prince meeting was not easy. Murphy Obune became famous in the eastern battlefield, and after being transferred to the southwest, he also defeated the Congolese and Fei empires in a row. , Has completely withdrawn from the border of the southwest area, and Murphy O'Born, a famous general in the east, has a reputation in the Southwest Army. For this young man who is capable and can deliberately maintain neutrality, Julier Sforberg has a good impression and can refuse the temptation to marry the Algernon family, known as the royal family. This willpower and determination not to swim in this muddy water are very admirable.

For the Southwest vs. Northwest gambling game, Julius Faubourg also listened to him. In front of him, it doesn’t matter who wins and who wins. The important thing is that both sides exercise restraint, use the least price, and use justice. The knightly way solves the long-standing contradiction between the Southwest and the Northwest~IndoMTL.com~ Regardless of whether you win or lose, it is worthy of respect,

On the surface, it seems that the northwest coast has taken a lot of advantage, but Julius Faubourg, who is in the empire system, confirms that the winner of this bet is actually Murphy Obern.

A gambling game not only blocked the challenge from Kyoto, but also resolved the threat from the northwest.

In the shortest period of time, I sat firmly in the position of the person in charge of the Southwest District without any worries,

Three birds with one stone, who dares to lose the Southwest!

"I don’t know if Master Faaborg listened!" Murphy Obern stopped in front of Julius Fauber, ignoring the eyes of everyone from all directions, and said, "His Majesty will be at the Imperial Conference. Discuss the issue of the candidate for the Northwest Chief!"

"What..."The face of Julius Faubourg changed a bit, and even his body swayed slightly, deceiving people too much! No wonder those guys have such weird eyes!

I want to write about expanding to the Slavic region (now Russia), but everyone seems to be unhappy, so I decided to continue to attack Gaul (to be continued...)
