Power and Empire Chapter 2908: Mad Blood (19)
Under the blue blue sky, there was a burst of smoke and dust from the main road in the distance, and the nobles of Istanbul who gathered in front of the Kyoto gate of Istanbul suddenly became a commotion
"Come, come, everyone cheers up"
The ceremonial officer in a gorgeous uniform kept order in the crowd. The nobles of Istanbul turned red and their eyes glowed. They stretched their necks and looked at the place where the smoke and dust were rising. The killer came, hunting The emperor eagle is here. Although the emperor is very familiar with the emperor, the emperor’s portrait is hung in the main hall of the royal hall as the overlord monarch, but he has actually seen the emperor of the falcon. I heard that the one standing at the front of the crowd, even if the former Istan Empire's second highness Prince Charlotte, who has been made a duke by the empire, has never seen the true face of the Falcon Emperor! I did not expect that the Emperor of the Falcon Empire would suddenly visit the Kyoto area of Istanbul at this moment.
The empire’s declaration of war on the Kingdom of Aden, in the eyes of others, means that the empire has found an opportunity to intervene in the Cornelia regional war and is ready to take a share in this war, but for Prince Charlotte of Istanbul In other words, the first reaction to this news was to drink two large barrels of wine happily on the spot, and didn't wake up until two days after being drunk!
"The opportunity is finally here!"
Prince Charlotte’s heart was screaming. As the prince of Istanbul, he almost ascended to the throne of the emperor. During this year, he watched how the Falcon Empire defeated the Southern Allied Forces and watched Iraq. The Stan region was incorporated into the territory under the force of the empire, and finally had to remove the emperor’s title by himself. It was because Prince Charlotte believed that the empire’s control in the Istanbul region would not last long. An area occupied by force did not last for ten or twenty years. The purge is absolutely impossible to completely control. What's more, the Istanbul region is so vast and the resistance army one after another, even the 200,000 imperial army is not the same as it is to be exhausted. Of course, Prince Charlotte will not tell the empire, there are already several. The head of a resistance army visited him secretly and even pledged allegiance to himself. About half of the leaders of the resistance army had received their own support, weapons, financial resources, and even secret letters to local officials. The empire believed that only Relying on force is enough to wipe out the authority established by the Istan royal family for more than a hundred years. That would be a big mistake!
There is no eternally strong empire, nor a general that will always win, even the Falcon Emperor, the God of War emperor!
Prince Charlotte believes that he will not wait too long. The nature of the empire lies in a hungry eagle that can never be fed. As long as he can see it, he will want to occupy it, such an aggression. How could an adult country stop the pace of external expansion? Sure enough, it took less than a year to recover. The situation in the Istanbul region only improved slightly, and the empire began a new strategic deployment of troops again. Charlotte The prince doesn’t care whether the empire is fighting the Adenites or the Erotites. What he needs is for this war machine to operate fully and efficiently. As long as the empire empties its forces in the Istanbul region, he can give a shout. , And bring back the Istan Empire again!
Under the oncoming mountain wind blowing, Duke Charlotte's eyes narrowed involuntarily. On the distant horizon, the imperial cavalry wearing black armor felt like a flowing line and felt the lines pressed over, the blue sky, The red cloak behind the imperial cavalry spreads in the distance like a line of fire in the wind, rapidly expanding, and finally a huge golden falcon king appears in everyone’s sight. The kind of hegemony that fills the retina makes All the Istanians held their breath at once. It is said that the Falcon Emperor was a black-haired young man. He started his army as a small lord of a region. In ten years, he took down the most powerful and broadest in the history of Obaro. A huge empire! Prince Charlotte will never forget. Just over half a year ago, the Falcon Emperor fought from Central Europe to Feshan, and finally launched a hegemonic battle with the 700,000 coalition forces of the southern countries in the Istanbul region. Within six months, a total of millions of enemies were wiped out. In terms of military command ability, this emperor is definitely the number one deserves his name.
Under the sun, one person and one horse came out of the mountain-like cavalry group, black hair fluttering in the wind,
"Welcome your majesty!" The Istan nobles knelt down, Prince Charlotte straightened his collar and knelt at the forefront. The three hundred and fifty Istan nobles behind him knelt down, their voices vibrating around. Open, in front of this king, everyone’s breathing is a bit short, no one dared to raise their heads, and they all wished to slam their heads on the ground,
"Get up all!" His eyes swept across the nobles of Istanbul, and the fat man raised his hand. For these people, there is really no need to show precautions. Those who can still stay in Istanbul now have been After the **** people have been wiped out, the elite army officers of the empire have been killed in large-scale battles in the Feshan area. How can the Istan-Kyoto area, which is dominated by civilian ministers, support the idea of contending with the empire? With the end of the North-South War, Istanbul Kyoto took the initiative to change the empire into a duchy, and took the initiative to abolish the emperor’s title and become a vassal state of the Falcon Empire. Of course, the empire would not refuse such a request, and the fat man knew very well. Stan Kyoto’s move is enough to prove that the royal family has no power to control the political affairs of Kyoto
Because this was not made by the arrogant Istan royal family at all, but by the ministers of Istanbul and Kyoto. Anyway, it was the Istan royal family who received the greatest loss. How much impact does it have? The order of the new king has never been transmitted to the Kyoto area. The 700,000 coalition forces in the south have been collapsed by the empire. What a mere Istan Kyoto! The drunken gold fans are still drunk gold fans. The aristocratic class of Istanbul who fled from all over the place are gathered on this land less than a hundred miles away, leading to this style of luxury enjoyment in the oppressive atmosphere of subjugation. What's more, the Istan Empire is already yesterday, and the people kneeling here are afraid that most of them have automatically forgotten the dignity of the Istan Empire at the time!
Or, except for one person, in the inconspicuous position at the end of the crowd, a thin old man was just half-kneeling, causing the fat man’s gaze to pause slightly. The veteran Moses looked older than half a year ago. His clothes looked a little shabby. As a survivor returned by the empire, he would naturally not be seen by others, but his bones were still stiff, or he felt the cold gaze from the emperor. Moses' body trembled slightly. I lower my head, but I still don’t kneel down completely
The hand of the Imperial Guard has touched the hilt of the knife. Those who disregard the authority of the Empire should be killed, but the fat man put his hand to stop it. Under the pursuit of Feishan's army, this former Istan still desperately died. The only remaining veteran of the times should be respected. As a soldier, Moses has done what a soldier should do! As for the fate of this country, the elderly can no longer decide! The tricks played by Istanbul in the past six months have long been in the eyes of the Ministry of Supervision of the Empire, funding the resistance, secretly colluding with some resistance forces, and even secretly met with several regional governors. The royal family was completely wiped out, completely because the Istan royal family cannot be eliminated. After all, it is an empire that has been established for more than a hundred years. The authority of the royal family has long been infiltrated into the bones of the Istanbul people. The eradication of the royal family will have a very negative impact on the empire's control of the Istanbul region, but it is natural to allow this malignant tumor to continue to grow!
"Xia Luoqing, the report of the Empire's war on the Kingdom of Aden, Qing should have received it!"
The fat man's eyes fell on the former second prince of the Istan Empire, Charlotte, who was kneeling in front of the war horse. The hundreds of thousands of Istanis looted by the Kingdom of Aden during the North-South War are looking forward to the rescue of the empire. As the prince of Istanbul, shouldn’t Charlotte say something?"
"The empire was able to declare war on Aden for the sake of the Istanbulites, and the subordinates are extremely happy. I am willing to fund 100,000 military expenditures for this war to reward all the soldiers of the empire who fought." Charlotte twitched her brows slightly, and she cursed inwardly. The Falcon Emperor is simply blackmailing. Your Falcon Empire is coveting Cornelia’s interests to start a war against the Adenites. Why do you want to catch my Istanian name, but you still have to show an extremely excited look on your face? He was so grateful that he threw himself in front of the Falcon Emperor’s hoof and cried bitterly!
"One hundred thousand military expenses! For the current Xia Luoqing, this is indeed a big deal! But how did I hear that the banquet held by Xia Luoqing a few days ago cost up to thirty thousand gold coins. Is it our empire? The **** battle of the soldiers is just the value of Xia Luoqing’s several banquets?" The fat man had a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he decided that the emperor would come in person, and you would pay 100,000 military expenses and want to send it away. This is a beggar.
For the current wealth of Istanbul’s capital, the Ministry of Supervision of the Empire has not looked at it for a day or two. Although the Istan royal family has been taken prisoner by the empire, as a century-old empire, it has a profound foundation. It is quite amazing. According to the estimation of the Ministry of Supervision, the current wealth of the Istanian royal family is still in the tens of millions, and a considerable part of this money has already flowed to the resistance forces in Istanbul, otherwise Varisian will not be wiped out. The resistance army of more than 100,000 is no longer in the scope of a small rebellion. The original still needs to be cleared. If the wealth line of the Istan royal family is not completely cut off, the resistance in the Istan region will not be completely quelled!
"This.~~щww~suimеng~lā..."
Hearing the words of the Falcon Emperor, Prince Charlotte suddenly felt a little confused. Although the wealth of the Istan royal family was amazing, it has actually been greatly reduced, especially the financial support for several large resistance forces in secret. It makes the Istan royal family feel pressured. These expended financial resources always need a subterfuge and excuse, otherwise the secret agent of the empire stationed in Istanbul, Kyoto will detect it, so the Istan royal family thought of holding a banquet. The scale and consumption of banquets have always been difficult to count, and the banquets between the nobles are quite frequent. One small banquet for three days and one big banquet for five days are really common. The use of banquets to cover up the expenditure of financial resources, obviously only cost Five or six thousand, it is claimed to have used two to three thousand, is there really someone to check it out specifically! Even if the empire senses something and checks it along the line, there is a fake banquet consumption account book, what can the empire find out! Prince Charlotte did not expect that such a foolproof practice would turn into a stone and hit his feet!
"Too much, I believe Charlotte will also be unbearable. Just one million military expenses. I believe the Istan royal family will not be so stingy!"
The fat man looked at Prince Charlotte, who looked like earth, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his tone suddenly became colder. "Xia Luoqing was also a person who has experienced war. I don’t need me to explain the importance of military expenditures. Like fire, the army will enter the battlefield at any time. I don’t want to miss the battle due to military delays. Moreover, the empire’s battle is entirely to rescue the Istanbulites. I believe that Shaoqing will do it himself. Three days later, Luoyang hills. , I hope Xia Luoqing will not let me down!"
"Yes, I understand!" Prince Charlotte almost gritted his teeth and agreed. There is no other way. The imperial emperor's presence is enough. The murderous imperial guard cavalry spread out on this line, there are seven or eight thousand without ten thousand. Thousand~IndoMTL.com~Charlot doesn’t doubt that once he refuses, the emperor will directly order the cavalry to go in and find it by himself. At that time, it will definitely be a catastrophe for the Istan royal family, and once the Falcon emperor is aware of the realness of the royal family Financial resources, it’s even worse,
In the entire eastern part of Obaro, the most nervous people are not the Adenites who were inexplicably declared war by the Falcon Empire, but Istanbul, which has been downgraded to a principality. Although the Falcon Empire complied with the agreement, it did not The Istan royal family rushed to exterminate them and preserved the integrity of Istan’s Kyoto,
But this year, for His Royal Highness the Second Prince who is in the former Istanbul Kyoto, it can be said that he is holding his fingers and counting the days with fear. Every move of the empire in the Istanbul region has been set off within the scope of the former Istanbul Kyoto. A panic,
No one is a fool. The Falcon Empire promised to retain the Istan royal family's purpose, nothing more than to stabilize the needs of the Istanbul region. As time goes by, the Empire’s control over the Istanbul region has stabilized, and the value of the Istan royal family It seems to be worthwhile
At this time, the Istan royal family is only the title of the duke, and its rule is only fifty to sixty miles around Kyoto. The number of troops retained is only the standard of a small duchy, three thousand infantry, and three thousand archers. Compared with the nearly ten thousand elite cavalry brought by the emperor, this kind of force is nothing like nothing! (To be continued.)
