Power and Empire Chapter 2493: Thunderstorm (13)
There is no area like Nan'an Phu Kingdom with mountains everywhere, without a complete flat land. Some people say that this was the time when the gods opened up the earth. The creation **** became sleepy after working continuously. He accidentally changed the Nan'anfu area into what it is now. From the Feize plateau to the south, he began to enter here. Mountainous area
The so-called rolling hills are running for hundreds of miles, that is, the terrain like Nan'anfu,
Because the entire area is mountainous, it is extremely difficult to build roads, and it can even be said to be a luxury. People living here are already accustomed to the special geography of winding mountain roads surrounded by mountains. In the environment, you can clearly see the location of the target with the naked eye, but it takes several hours or even a day to walk. I climbed over a mountain, and there was another mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, there are only mountains and mountains, it seems that forever *pig*pig*island*small* said ww.huzu has no end.
The capital of the kingdom, Las Vesuvius, is located in this rolling hills. The Las Vesuvius in the mountains at the end of autumn has begun to become chilly in this season, all kinds of winter in the city. The leaves of the coniferous forest were picked up by the wind and covered the road, spreading the whole city. The two intersecting roads that uplift along the mountain road have also been turned into a dry golden color.
Maybe it’s because the city has just been affected by the Paputans' war, and the roads are still exceptionally deserted. The streets are very empty, without the slightest shadow of people, only the dead branches and garbage everywhere, and the night breeze. Blowing over, bringing a humid and rotten breath
At the beginning, the Paputs invaded the Nanan Phu area. Although there was some damage, the Paputs, who had the idea of occupying their own territory, still showed great restraint, but then 200,000 troops of Fezer swarmed in. , But it is the small Nananfu area of tens of square kilometers, which suddenly became a flesh-and-blood battlefield with a total force of nearly 400,000 people.
The combined number of soldiers on both sides is even more than the population of Nan'an Phu District. Under such circumstances, there has been a chaotic war. In the end, the weak foundation of the Nananfu area was completely destroyed. Before the war, although the Nananfu area was poor, the total population was still more than 100,000. It had four small and medium-sized cities, and King Dulas Vesu was hailed as a "treasure in the mountains." Distribution center for ore trading,
In the southern vassal kingdom of Fezer, the wealth of Nan'an Phu is second to none, otherwise the Paputans would not be unwilling to wait for a moment, and they are so eager to include this land of wealth. in.
It is a pity that the war between the two sides destroyed everything. Except for the capital, Las Vesu, the other three cities have become ruins. The remaining population of the entire Nanan Phu area is less than 50,000. There is basically no light in the houses on both sides of the street. There was a little candlelight in between,
Most areas of the entire city are black, and it looks like it's emanating from hell. It's extraordinarily gloomy and weird. The whole city was lifeless, trembling in the cold wind
Quiet street. , A black carriage drove quickly from the other side of the street, and the whip raised by the carriage driver smashed the night wind. The wheels turned at a high speed, the dead branches and leaves were rolled up and blown away, like water waves, and the black carriage quickly ran over the desolate and calm street. Drive to the front of the Nan'an Phu Kingdom Palace before stopping.
The carriage has just stabilised, and the carriage door opened. A tall middle-aged nobleman hurriedly got out of the car and trot all the way into the iron gate in front of the palace.
Although it is the seat of the royal family, due to the meager financial resources and weak status of the Nan'an Phu Kingdom, and the reconstruction after destruction, it has completely become the government hall for handling daily government affairs. The broken wind lights on both sides of the road in the middle of the night. The night wind illuminates the extended road with a faint white light, faintly illuminating the direction of the tall middle-aged man towards the palace courtyard, and almost no one notices him.
A young waiter who was waiting there was already standing there waiting, seeing the middle-aged nobleman appearing, opened the small door next to him, revealing a other courtyard at the door "Is the one resting?" Middle-aged The noble asked in a low voice, "No." The young attendant replied respectfully. This middle-aged nobleman is no one else, but the prime minister of the Nan'an Phu Kingdom. The man who was still faceless under the soldiers, showed an anxious look that appeared," Fortunately, he caught up." Starbe wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly walked into the inner courtyard. It is very deserted, with dead branches and leaves everywhere, and I don’t know how long it has not been cleaned. If it hadn’t been known in advance, no one would have thought that there was a mysterious guest living in this courtyard. This is the residence of Princess Lunsha Nan'an Phu Kingdom needs reconstruction funds, and the Imperial Bank is willing to provide the funds. This transaction was carried out in secret. As a vassal of the Faze Kingdom, Nan An Phu Kingdom is very clear that once Faze people know that they are so close to the Empire. The connection will be a catastrophe immediately, so everything is very careful,
For this reason, Princess Lunsha lived in the other courtyard personally, and the food inside was personally responsible for the food and drink inside. She also claimed that this is the home for princess Lunsha. The princess likes to be quiet and doesn't like being disturbed. Therefore, apart from a few high-ranking officials in the kingdom, no one would have thought that in the residence of the princess, there was actually a man reading a report by candlelight alone. Princess Rensha in a sky blue dress was completely like a man at the moment. The servant girl, opened the window to let the night wind blow in, and heard the rush of footsteps from the direction of the corridor, Princess Rensha's pretty eyebrows couldn't help but frowned. "What's the situation? It's not that I didn't get my approval, it's not allowed. Has anyone entered here? A cold voice came from the end of the corridor, "His Royal Highness, don't get me wrong, the situation is too urgent, you can only offend His Highness's orders! "
The Prime Minister of the Kingdom Stabe saw the pretty figure appearing in the corridor ahead, and quickly stopped and bowed her head respectfully. Princess Rensha lived with a man as a princess. If it were in normal times, it would have been early There was an uproar, but now it’s completely different,
The entire royal capital is almost empty, and there are less than 20,000 people. There is still a man hidden in the carriage of Princess Rensha returning home. No one knows, and the identity of the entire man makes the upper echelon of the entire kingdom even more so. I vaguely hope that something will happen. Since the rise of Paput, the Imperial Bank has spread throughout the south. This super commercial consortium has far surpassed the small country Nanan Fu in terms of wealth and influence. If it is really possible to get the relationship through Princess Rensha, not only will the reconstruction of Nan'an Fu be not a problem, but it may even get a golden development period
The war of conquest of a big country, the rule of survival of a small country and a small country. For women from the royal family, while enjoying the luxurious life of the royal family, they are also ready to sacrifice for the needs of the kingdom at any time. Princess Lunsha can As a woman, secretly heading north to the Falcon Empire to seek a glimmer of hope for reconstruction in Nan Anfu is already an admirable act. Now I have invited an important person to Nan’an Fu. If we don’t seize the opportunity now, Nan’an Fu will regret it for at least a hundred years. Therefore, His Majesty the King personally ordered everything to be done in accordance with Princess Lunsha’s requirements. To a certain extent, it is equivalent to confirming the identity of Princess Rensha as the successor of the kingdom, and all this is to increase the weight of Princess Rensha. Because compared to this distinguished guest, the status of a princess in a small country is really too humble. If the whole Nananfu stays behind this distinguished guest, then everything is worth it!
"What is the emergency?"
Princess Rensha's face was slightly relaxed. The prime minister, Star, has served the kingdom for twenty years and is the confidant of his father. When the Paput army came under the capital city, the nobles in the city dispersed. They ran to Fei Ze, but the prime minister stayed with all his strength, and it was also the prime minister and the Paput's negotiation. Las Vesu was saved from the war, and finally it was perfectly preserved. This prime minister is worthy of trust.
"Just got the news that the Fazerites were slaughtering the southern nobles in King Fazer’s capital." Kingdom Prime Minister Spabe said with a gloomy expression." In the name of rebellion, the Fazerites brought together 267 Southern aristocrats. Execution, all the properties of the southern aristocrats were confiscated! This is only to be seen. In fact, many of the aristocrats in our country who fled from Las Vessu to Fazer were killed, but they did not announce it to the public. But I know that there are more similar situations in other countries, and there is news that the Fazers are mobilizing troops to move south, and it seems that it is more than just killing people."
"You mean that the Fazer might go south?" Princess Rensha's face changed. Although Starbe didn't say that, but now that he has blatantly declared a rebellion, he is now mobilizing troops, not wanting to go south. ! If the war spreads to the south and Nananfu, the reconstruction that has just started will undoubtedly be destroyed again
"You can say that! In fact, it may be worse than the general southward"
The Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Star, has a sad face. Whoever finds that the hope he just got will soon be destroyed, his face looks similar to him. He is not a rich man in Nan'an. Few people know that, in fact, he used to be An aristocrat near the coast, the country was destroyed because of Faze’s war of conquest, and when he wandered to the Nan'an Fu area, he was already very desolate. It was because of his talents that he walked to the position of prime minister step by step. Everyone saw Nan'an. Rich is just a small country, which is similar to the control of a medium-sized city, but in Starbe’s eyes, this country has devoted his life to becoming prosperous from a deserted land, but it has declined in the war, and now it is ushered in again. Opportunities for development, the dark clouds of war come again, one can imagine how frustrating the blow to him will be
"According to reliable sources, many of the southern aristocrats who were killed were royal families, and the properties that were confiscated. Add up to three or four million. You can imagine that those who suffered losses How will the Kingdom of the Kingdom react? Nan'anfu is the only way to go from the south to the north. The population is only 50,000. The military strength can barely make up to 5,000 or 6,000 even if it is the sky. Although the Fei Ze people are now in tight military strength, they are 50,000 or 60,000. Yes, if the South is united, the forces will be roughly the same. Both sides will take our Nanan Fu as the primary goal at the first time. We may be torn into pieces by this turbulence at any time like the remnants of the hurricane. Fragments"
"The biggest headache is that when something like this breaks out, are we on the side of the Fazers or on the south? The time is so short, if we can't stand immediately, both sides will treat us as enemies! "Star's accompanying voice paused, and said a little bit coldly," You mean we are about to face war again, and there is no way to avoid it. Isn't there a little bit of opportunity?"
Princess Lunsha's lips trembled slightly, and the tragic scene after the previous war flashed in her mind. She couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart. The Fei Ze people went south, Nan'an the rich and the first, and the southern vassal kingdoms wanted to go north, Nan'an and the rich were still the first to bear the brunt, Nan'an Fu is like a sandwich in the middle. If you don’t express it quickly, you may be attacked by both sides. The problem is that no matter which side, Nan’an Fu can’t stop it now
Star hesitated for a while, raised his head and looked at the house behind Princess Lensa, his eyes flickered and said, "If there is a way, it can only be done by relying on the power of that person. After all, it's just us. Nan Anfu, neither for Feize people nor for the South will have the slightest weight~IndoMTL.com~ But that person is different. As long as he is willing to help us, even if he just releases some news, at least the South will not. We are too hostile. After all, if the South wants to start a war against Fazer, they must join forces with the Eight Central Countries. Everyone knows who is behind the Central Eight Kingdoms! We just don’t know how much influence the Princess has on that one. Power?" "Also... OK!" Princess Lunsha's pretty white face showed a slight redness that was not easily noticeable, and her voice trembled slightly,
"Then please come to your Royal Highness!" Star Companion showed a touch of joy on his face, and said quickly, what a sophisticated character he is, and his eyes are naturally venomous. Judging from the current look of Princess Rensha, between the two I am afraid that there is a certain amount of contact. The so-called men chasing women in the mountains and women chasing the men in the gauze. Although Princess Lunsha’s appearance is not the rumored beauty, she has a lot of beauty, and she has a home. The country was promoted as the successor to the status of the prince daughter,
Such a distinguished woman, like a woman who is as delicate and delicate, stays by her side all day, even the steel is softened, not to mention that Sir Duhan is not like the kind of hardworking and desireless person. , Although the Nan'an Phu Kingdom is only a small country, it is also a country. It is a country that can hold beautiful people and get a country as a dowry. If a man is not tempted, it is all fake!
"I will do my best!" Princess Lunsha gritted her teeth, leaving a mark on her lips with her white jade teeth. She received the report from Star's companion and turned to the room at the end of the corridor. Continued.)
