Power and Empire Chapter 1879: Shinkyo Turbulence (2)

Reading the alliance scroll three times with the seal of the royal family in his hand, the fat man heard a rush of footsteps outside the tent, the door of the military tent was opened, and two figures walked in. It was the governor of the southern empire. The central general of Statunko Hukoqili, the two salute the fat man at the same time

"Why are you here now? Where did you go?" The fat man raised his head from the table and threw the paper that felt a little tasteless to Hu Keqili, who was a little bit earlier. "Look at this!"

"This is?" Hu Keqi held the scroll in his hand, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, his hands slowly opened, his face was astonished, "Is this the covenant book of Gang Fei?"

"Yes, it is the covenant straw rolls given to us by the Gangfei Empire!" The fat man smiled slightly, got up from his seat, came to a brazier erected in the middle of the military tent, and put his fat hand on it. The top is lightly toasted. Said, "This time the Gangfei people are willing to exchange two provinces close to the border for us to send troops, I am still hesitating whether or not to agree to them!"

"Two provinces, just want us to unite against the Istanbul people? How is this possible!"

Statunko heard the slightly frowning eyebrows, took the scroll from Hukochili, read it carefully, and looked dissatisfied, saying, "To be honest, Your Majesty, I don’t think this military alliance is good for us. Although I have never fought against the Istanians, I have also heard that this is a great empire that is not lost to Gaul. It is strong and will be like a cloud of war. Once caught, it is very likely to offend an enemy for no reason, and the most important thing is , Gang Fei is too stingy, expecting to use two marginal lands that are not of much value, in exchange for forming a military alliance with us. It is true that our Falcon Empire is a barbaric in the Northwest that has never seen the world. Up!"

"Yeah, such a condition is not so much a request for help. It is more like an insult!" Hu Keqili, who has read the content of the terms, expressed his agreement with Statunke.

"Yes, your opinion is the same as mine. In fact, just before, I had arranged for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send people to Gangfei and told them clearly that the conditions are at least four provinces, and one of them must be Gangfei Valencik, the southern commercial center of the empire, otherwise. Don’t grind your mouth here! "The fat man rubbed his hands on the fire, his face smug

"Valensik!"

Hearing the fat man’s name, both Statunko and Hukoqili took a breath of air-conditioning. Your Majesty really dared to speak. This is the rhythm of seizing the opportunity to bite to death. Even Gangfei’s richest area is thinking about it

The Ruda Cape in Congo is the largest province in the south, and it is not only twice the size of the general province. Moreover, it is also the location of the Congolese Empire’s inland sea ports. If it can be included in the Falcon Empire’s territory, the empire will no longer be an outsider entering the inland sea from the inland sea channel, but will directly become a member of the inland sea countries, and the empire will be equal to the inland sea ahead of time. Owning a well-equipped logistics center is of inestimable value to the entire empire’s inland sea strategy

"Your Majesty. Just because I’m afraid I won’t give up Valencik’s so easily." Statunko carefully glanced at the fat man’s face.

"That's not necessarily true"

The fat man's mouth curled slightly, like a profiteer who succeeded in a conspiracy. He smiled and said, "Presumably you have also heard that the army just lost a big ugly in Focordir some time ago. With 200,000 troops. Ambush the enemy's 100,000 troops, and instead of trapping the troops that the Istanbul intruded into Focordil, they were bitten by the opponent in the battle. There were no fewer casualties than the Istanbuls. Now Gang Fei The main force was completely restrained and could not move, while another group of the Istanians got rid of the entanglement of Gangfei, like a viper directly leaping on the bird eggs on the branch, safely ignoring the panic calls of the old birds nearby. If you can’t get support, Gangfei Shinkyo won’t be able to survive this winter! Whether you want Kyoto or a southern port, I believe Gangfei people will figure out clearly "

"Your Majesty still has a unique vision!"

When Statunko heard his eyes lit up, who would have thought that the Istanbulites and the Gangsters fight to the death and the life, and the Falcon Empire might get the most cheap. No wonder your Majesty has invaded the Gangsters some time ago. It’s not as calm and cold as it appears. It turns out that I have dug a hole a long time ago and waited for Gangfei to jump in. At present, I can have the strength to fight the Istanians. Except for the Falcon Empire, there are no other countries in Central Europe that are willing. Bold this head, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it. Right now, Gang Fei is watching the crumbling wall. I don't know how many eyes are watching, waiting to pick up the bargain!

"Then let the Gangfei people cool down first!" Fatty nodded. In the afternoon, Fatty convened all the generals on the Gaul Kyoto front to discuss the deployment of the siege of Gaul Kyoto. At the meeting, there was The general pointed out that "If we want to force Gaul Kyoto to surrender, we must completely cut off its supply line. If we can deploy a force to cross Gaul Kyoto and attack the eastern part of Gaul, then Gaul Kyoto can be regarded as truly forced into desperation." The fat man agreed In view of this, but considering that the troops have just gone through a war and need some time to rectify, the plan to send troops to the east cannot be implemented for the time being

On the fifth day, the situation changed unexpectedly

An urgent letter from the south was delivered to the fat man. Unrest broke out in Gangfei-Xinjing. Some defeated troops who had failed in the front rushed into Gangfei-Xinjing. In the chaos, the arrogant Istanis negotiating messenger Trying to face the defeated army alone, before saying a few words, he was swarmed by the defeated army and hacked to death.

The messenger of the Falcon Empire, Ang Kedo, is the confidant of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lidacus. He noticed that the situation was not good, and hung from the high wall with sheets into the street below to escape the messenger’s foreign affairs. However, the more than 20 Falcon Empire guards who stayed in the Foreign Affairs Hall all died in battle,

Shinkyo Rebellion! It shook the entire Obaro. Although the Gangfei Guards in the city responded quickly and took control of the situation, the death and injury of the two empires of the Istan Empire and the Falcon Empire has become a foregone conclusion.

"Savage Gangster!"

Suddenly and for a long time, the Central European and Baro countries, which have been sitting on the sidelines to watch the fire, suddenly burst into a one-sided condemnation

"We are going to fight against such an untrustworthy country like Gangfei! Why should we retain compassion!"

The emperor of Istanbul was furious and issued seven orders of Istanbul in one day. The army was ordered to launch **** revenge against the occupied area, especially the Eastern Governor Hayela, who held a heavy army. In three days and three slaughtered cities, nearly 400,000 gangsters were inhumane and turned into ghosts under the sword. Numerous corpses were inserted into wooden stakes and erected on both sides of the long road, because the special envoy of Istanbul who died at the hands of the army was his half-brother. Hagg, the upstart Earl of the Istanian Empire, a confidant of the emperor who is about to go to the province of Liur to serve as governor in three months, is different from his brutal and bloodthirsty brother. The image of the slain Earl Hag was honest and courageous, and he was one of the few important military ministers in Istanbul’s army who did not have much hostility towards the Congolese Empire, because his mother was a nobleman of the Congolese Empire. Daughter

Another consequence of the Xinjing Rebellion was that after the former Minister of Military Affairs Rubin Sack spent countless efforts and painstaking efforts, he has always acted like an iron barrel outside the imperial court, and finally split for the first time. Undercurrents are surging, the main battle faction represented by the military Duke Andiya, and the confrontation with the Prince Dunad’s main faction just surfaced, using the Shinkyo Rebellion as a weapon, the Prince Dunad and other main war factions, openly He accused Gangfei of the collapse of the army that caused Gangfei to be extremely passive and unfavorable. It is a farce planned by the important military officials in order to include more power.

The military's accusation of the collapse of the army was entirely a farce directed and performed by the leader of Prince Dunade, given that the chief of the South Gate, the city guard Andrea, was at such a critical moment. He didn't even take command on the city wall, so the final conclusion was that Andrea's negligence caused the collapse of the army. Andrea was sentenced to death. As for why Kyoto, which is stationed with 30,000 soldiers, reacted so slowly after the collapse of the city, whether it was the main peace faction or the main battle faction, they automatically ignored it, because at the moment the collapse entered the city, The forces on both sides are each planning to use this to attack each other

In December, the Istanbul massacres were carried out on the periphery of the new capital of Congo. The special envoy of the Falcon Empire entered the capital of Congo again, bringing new conditions, six provinces, four ports, and fat lions. Wide open his mouth, claiming that the important minister of the empire (a small member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) was almost embarrassed during the Shinkyo Rebellion. This is a humiliation to the "　" nakedness of the Falcon Empire and seriously hurt the profound friendship between the two countries The other emperor died!) So the conditions must be doubled, otherwise, the Falcon Empire does not rule out all actions to claim justice from the Gangfei Empire (take advantage of the fire)

At the same time, when the war in the Congolese region is in full swing, from the court to the civilians, it is full of water and fire. Compared with the southern general area, which was once the focus of the war, it is very quiet. The turbulent winter ocean currents are here. The long natural inward bend seems much quieter, the waves are light and surging, and the layers are white, like snow layers against each other's, the sea looks with a trace of gray and white ice floes in winter, and you can't see it at a glance. The huge waves on the sea that can be often seen are completely invisible at this time. This is a sign of freezing in the cold winter. In fact, in the depths of the ocean, undercurrents are still surging and extremely dangerous.

Since the Falcon Empire became the actual control of the coastal areas in general, it took only a few months to have a large number of immigrants migrating from the northwestern region. The once deserted towns were reclaimed and the coastal areas were constantly visible. The city wall built with stones looks very beautiful from a distance. Under the sun, it looks like a burning sunset that winds along the ridge and the coast. This makes the sailors who pass along the coast call it red. Coast,

The Duke of Phu Tau officially announced in July that the Duchy of Phu Tau was a vassal state of the Falcon Empire. The four coastal counties were directly under the jurisdiction of the Falcon Empire. The original four northern counties were built as free trade ports. The three fertile central counties, with a population of nearly 200,000, reunited the Kyoto area of ​​the Duchy of Phu Tau. The Duke of Phu Tau has been very busy these months. He is busy doing business between the coastal areas and the Congolese and African empires. Playing "Daoye" transports the goods from the coastal areas to Gangfei, and then transports the goods from Gangfei to the coast. With his status as the duke, the merchants also allow him to pay after the goods are sold.

"Really, don't people just know where to stop?" Putting down the detailed report on the Shinkyo Rebellion, Duke Putao sat on the armchair, from the hand of a beautiful young lady with **** and arms. After receiving a glass of red wine, I still don’t forget to make a joke. The leisurely one can’t see the original desolation.

The newly-built Duke’s mansion is far more magnificent and magnificent than the previous Duke of the common set. This guy has grown up. In his Duke’s meeting room, the nobles who sat down are discussing their own family business, caravan trading, The latest batch of goods can be worth the investment, what is the most popular goods in Congo, as for the territory income. Noble power is something that no one wants to mention long ago.

With the increasingly intensified war between the Congolese Empire and the Istanbulites, the status of the general aristocratic business group has soared. The last time the general duke went to the new capital of Congo, he was subjected to more than a dozen giants. Invitation, this was absolutely impossible in the past, who would remember that downcast guy who didn’t even have a country,

But now, it's really normal. The general wealthy family, the Duke of Universal sets is still unwilling to take care of it!

With the rapid development of commerce, the general aristocracy has begun to take the initiative to exchange inland land for funds that can be used to form caravans, and take the initiative to assume the springboard for coastal areas and the inland markets of the Congolese Empire. In other countries, this situation may be embarrassing, and even arouse fierce resistance from the aristocracy, but it is almost universally subjugated. When I was exploited and squeezed by Gangfei, I almost didn't sell the pants. Instead, there was no such extra consideration. Whether it was aristocrat or common people, everyone had only one idea, and that was to make life better and save face. National self-esteem, as early as when Gang Fei fully controlled the general condom, it was cut like a soft knife. The Gang Fei spent countless efforts and energy to soften the general people’s will to resist, but was caught by a falcon. The empire bargained at the bottom,

I have seen the game of iron and blood between real big countries. The ashes of more than a hundred thousand army were wiped out, and the corpses were everywhere. The general duke who dared to slay a knife on himself. I have already given up my original idea of ​​being independent,

Because he finally realized that the general set of sites is too small, and there is still something to do in commerce. Putting it on land is a little girl who is trampled to death by a big country. In this case, the tone will be too much energy. Put it on this piece of land that can't be fixed at all. It's better to expand from the influence. The Falcon Empire can allow the Pudong Principality to continue to exist, and retain about half of the country's land, and it has not interfered with Putu's internal affairs too much. It is already a thankful thing, where can you dare to ask for anything

An attendant of "Lord Duke" came over cautiously and handed him a letter

"Who sent it?" asked the Duke of Putao

"Falcon Empire Admiralty!"

The look of the attendant was a little nervous. Since July, the Falcon Empire’s naval fleet has been gathering in the general seas. It is said that there is a tendency to enter the inland sea. Although it is not an enemy, it is watching those on the sea. Cruising, occasionally a huge battleship with dense black muzzles exposed on the side of the ship’s deck, the Putao people are always shocked. The Putao people consider themselves to be a sea people, but in terms of shipbuilding technology, they compare with the falcon empire. It’s a long way off. Many general workers work in the port and docks, and a small number of people are recruited from the Falcon Navy to become a member of the Falcon Imperial Navy

"Admiralty!" The Duke of Putao shook his hand holding the letter. He opened the letter and read it again, with a look of ecstasy on his face. He read it again with some disbelief, and jumped up from the chair. , Shouted to the attendant, "Go, gather all the merchants immediately, we have distinguished guests!"

In the afternoon, the sun was shining lazily on the port of Varkala, the new capital of the Principality of Pu Tau. The port has been under martial law. Wearing a white breastplate and holding a long-handled axe in hand, the general set of honor guards lined up on the main road of the port. The duke dressed in a blue Hongkou duke’s suit standing at the dock dock, behind more than 30 large and small general aristocrats,

Not far away, a long and narrow Falcon Empire Dragon Tooth-class battleship approached the shore slowly under the eager gaze of everyone. The springboard was lowered, and a tall woman appeared from the battleship deck, slim The long skirt is dragged to the ground, soft and full of nearly 1.8 meters of super slim body, beautifully round and slender, the whole body reveals a mature fragrance, which makes people dare not look directly at it. It is her white skirt. It seems so graceful and elegant, it seems to deliberately suppress his fiery, and become pure and elegant.

"Excuse me, is it Miss Socutus Dailan?" The Duke of Pu Tao hurriedly greeted him. This is the woman with the most power in the business alliance. If the reception is not good, you can casually make Pu Tao overnight. Before the liberation, half of the general business line was in the hands of the business alliance, not to mention the general private goods, which were also specially taken care of by the business alliance.

"My lord Duke! You are..." Socutus Stellen saw the Duke of Putao, smiled crookedly, and looked at the formation of the port, a little surprised, this time it was a secret. OK, this kind of battle is too big! Not far away, a horse-drawn carriage with the Falcon Empire’s Admiralty logo also stopped there. It seemed to be afraid of such a battle, so it didn’t come forward.

"They are all people who have accepted the grace of the lady. This time they are here to welcome the lady!" The Duke of Putao looked a little embarrassed~IndoMTL.com~ I felt that the other party’s attitude was a little wrong, but he didn’t know what was wrong.

"Grace? Haha, I think the Duke made a mistake, I don't want too many people to know this time!" Socutus Delan looked at him with bright eyes,

"So that's it!" The Duke of Putao suddenly realized that he quickly turned around and whispered to the attendants behind him. Soon, the nobles on the dock were dispersed.

The black Admiralty carriage came to Socutus Delan, the door opened, and the Imperial Navy Minister Dusterenkai appeared in it

"Master Dusterenkai!"

The Duke of General Taw was shocked when he saw that the people in the business alliance needed the Secretary of the Navy to come forward in person? Is that rumor true? Behind this woman is the Falcon Emperor

"Miss Socutus Delan! That order..." Dusterenkai asked kindly

"The order is here." Socutus Delan took out two letters, one for Duke Putao, and one for Dustellenkai, with a calm expression, "Congratulations, Lord Duke, soon, your Excellency will be able to say For the king!"
