Power and Empire Chapter 3015: Dream Painting Jiangshan (9)
At the beginning of October, the cold wind whistled against the glass, making a rustling sound
In an office with a huge map of the Empire’s territory hung on the wall of 21, the fiery red bonfire exudes a distressing warmth. Outside the window, you can see countless white snow flakes in the sky, spreading the long downstairs outside the window. The road was paved in white, and on both sides of the long road were three-meter rows of imperial guards in red cloaks.
The cold wind entrapped snowflakes, and it fell layer by layer on the black armor of these imperial guards. Under the slightly bloated armor, there was a thick bulging cotton coat, although the temperature was already minus five or six degrees. But for the emperor team that has been equipped with cotton-padded clothes on a large scale, the impact that can be caused is minimal, except that the face under the iron helmet looks a little pale, but its posture appears to be more upright as a sword
Because the guards on guard know that the last room on the fourth floor 30 meters to the left of the long road is the office of Emperor Falcon. In other words, if the emperor looks through the window, The first thing I saw was the long road and them standing on both sides of the long road
The temperature in the wilderness area drops much faster than in other parts of the empire. It is almost comparable to those outside the long wall in the north. It’s only October, and the real winter has entered, while in the northwestern part of the empire, it’s going to be Snow will not be seen until the end of October, and the mild climate in Central Europe will not be seen until mid-November. Putting down the report that was just received in his hand, the fat man took a deep breath and stood up and glanced at the beginning of the window. The falling snow said to the guard standing guard at the door, "Let Li Yuehua come here!"
"Yes, your majesty" the respectful voice of the guards came from the door
"The clothes made in this way are not good-looking, but as you said, they are warm enough"
In the wind and snow, a black carriage slowly drove into the mansion. Inside the carriage, Princess Mingyue in a thick dark green palace dress adjusted her clothes. Although she looked a little bloated, she could hardly conceal her peerless elegance. , Said to a beautiful woman with black hair draped over her shoulders who is reading documents and sitting across from her.
"Who would have thought that just stuffing some sundries into my clothes would be able to protect against the cold. What is the use of just giving me a person? There are still tens of thousands of Chinese and Byanese who follow me in the camp in the cold. In the wind to keep warm, you can bear to look at them so pitiful? Anyway, for the sake of being from China and Biya, why would you have to get me tens of thousands of catties." "A few million catties, I Your Majesty, you really dare to say this. Knowing the few kilograms given to you is already making me very dangerous. If it weren't for your majesty to see you last time in a thin gauze palace dress, it would be so cold. Shaking, and deliberately pretending to be a bit immortal in front of your majesty, and gave me the right to use some cotton, so I won’t care about you. "The beauty of China and Bahia raised her head like a cold moon. Looks, with an astonishing color, put down the files in hand with an aura and amusement
"It turns out that it is called cotton. It looks white like snowflakes on the outside. It has no weight in the hand. Who knows it is such a warm thing."
Princess Mingyue’s eyes were unusually bright, she didn’t have the slightest anger, but a small smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She didn’t expect the Empire to have such a good thing. It only takes a few catties to make the clothes warm, even when standing in the wind and snow. I don’t feel any cold in the middle, thinking of the previous winter, even as a princess, I can only live in the brazier in the room without leaving my hands. If you want to go out, you must put on more than a dozen layers of tulle and thick sand. Such clothes, layer by layer, if it’s still not warm enough, you still need to put on those expensive mink and other exterior decorations. Where can there be such ease in front of me, and this is what makes Princess Mingyue the most heart-warming. Something, I don’t know how many people from China and Biya can be saved from dying in the severe winter cold
"If you want cotton, you must go to your Majesty, because cotton is an important strategic material in the empire, and it is rarely sold externally." Li Yuehua said dismissively. If it was not your Majesty’s will, I I dare not give it to you"
'Can cotton still be a strategic material? Just kidding, it’s not just a material for knitting clothes. "Princess Mingyue’s pretty nose is straight, obviously she doesn’t believe it. Since the battle of the Imperial Wilderness, 100,000 cavalry in the northwest has been forced down, and I don’t know how many slaughter I see every day. People from the northwestern steppes of Central Bialand were escorted to the wilderness by the imperial army to build roads. Princess Mingyue’s mood was not so good. The powerful strength that the empire showed in the battle of the wilderness once again made this princess of China What is the power of a great power?
This kind of inexplicable and unclear thing, but it does exist. A grassland butcher like Yeluguda, facing hundreds of thousands of Central and Biya Army, even dared to arrogantly break through Linhang under the protection of the army in one fell swoop. However, in a small collision in the wilderness of the empire, I was frightened and ran for hundreds of miles, and was intercepted and killed by the southwest dragon family on the road.
The gap between the two comparisons has become unbelievable.
"Believe it or not!" Li Yuehua knew this was difficult to explain, but her face darkened by Princess Mingyue, she gritted her teeth, her chest suddenly fluctuated twice, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly and said, "You know, in Ouba Luo has a proverb: "The wind of winter is the horn of the Falcon Empire. Don't expect to fight the Falcon Empire in winter. That is a stupid decision! "
"What does this mean?" Princess Mingyue was stunned.
"In other words, the ability of the Imperial Army team to fight in winter is enough to make any enemy desperate!"
Li Yuehua's tone became more solemn, looking at the slightly surprised Princess Mingyue’s pretty face, and sighed, "Winter is not suitable for large corps operations. Believe this, even those who don’t understand military should know something. In the cold winter, logistical supplies are difficult, and no matter how powerful the fighters are, they can’t stand against the destruction of the severe cold environment for a long time. After all, people are flesh and blood. The cold wind and snow hit the body, wearing steel armor that is about to freeze to the skin. Even if it is 10% of the combat power, it is good to be able to achieve five or six achievements. Therefore, in the history of Oubaro, there are only a handful of wars that broke out during the winter season, and they often ended with the defeat of the attacker."
"It is true, even if you are a prairie, you will not come to harass and plunder in winter"
Princess Mingyue nodded in agreement, her beautiful big eyes rose up, revealing a trace of memory, like a lazy cat, she seemed to think of something, but her fingers were tightly clasped together. The season when the prairie army is looting northward is the autumn and winter season. What they saw along the way has become a nightmare that I don’t want to think of in this life
"But this conclusion is invalid for the empire. These bloated and ugly cotton clothes, although the workmanship is rougher, are all the best cotton from the northwestern cotton-producing area of the empire. These are the best. Cotton fields are forbidden to foreign trade. They are the exclusive industries of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They are organized by the Imperial Ministry of Supervision, the most notorious institution under the Imperial Emperor. They have strict regulations on the weight, quality, and thickness of cotton clothes. It is found that there are cutting corners. The situation will inevitably be investigated thoroughly. As a result, officers who lose their official posts and lives will be found every year. Among them, the highest position is even a flag commander of a regional garrison. The charge is merely negligence, resulting in hundreds of established troops. With the loss of cotton clothing, the empire is the one that can use cotton as an important strategic material.
"After all, in this era, most of the clothes are still thin woven linen, and those with money and status prefer silk from Central and Bahia. Although these weaving materials are good-looking and convenient, they don’t provide much protection from the cold. Effective, and cotton is only produced in the northwest of the empire. It was not valued by the Obaro region before. It is precisely because of the resources like cotton in hand that the Imperial Army can perform well in the cold winter. "Ability" Li Yuehua glanced at Princess Mingyue, seeming to think that in the cold winter, the children of the royal family such as Princess Mingyue used to be the same. They were dressed in silk, cold and hot, and court ladies waited on them, as pure as snow falling in front of them. Beautiful,
Where did you think that in just a few years, everything became like this. The capital of Zhongbia was pierced twice, the emperor fled to the sea, and the life and death of the emperor were unknown. Millions of civilians of Zhongbia were displaced and rustled in the cold wind. Trembling, weeping painfully under the horseshoes of the prairie people, even myself, has experienced life and death several times
"Oh? It's because of cotton?" Princess Mingyue blinked her eyes and seemed to have an epiphany. She didn't expect that Li Yuehua would give herself something like this. Speaking of which, she really had some strategic materials. The meaning of
"Yes, it's because the empire has control of cotton." Li Yuehua nodded, looked at the Imperial Guards standing on both sides of the long road outside the carriage, and said coldly, "The outside world thinks that the emperor can claim to be undefeated. , As long as it is a 100-smelting steel armor forged with the highest military skill in the empire, its weight is only slightly heavier than ordinary armor, but its protection is almost at the level of heavy armor, and the weapon in hand is also sharp to the limit, and it has been improved many times. The imperial crossbow is equipped with long-range killing weapon, heavy ballista and Thor. It hasn't really slashed at close range, but the blow of the imperial long-range weapon is enough to bring down more than half of the opponent's combat power. The emperor team will pounce like wolves and tigers, and it will be no disadvantage, but a few people will think that this unremarkable cotton is the root of the emperor team’s rampage in winter!"
"In the cold wind and snow, other armies are very difficult to move. They can’t stand the cold before they fight. Only the Imperial Army can use the sleigh carriage to move in quickly. The opposing armies have the most one day. Marching for twenty or thirty miles, but the emperor’s army can run hundreds of miles on the snowy field. This alone is enough to seize the initiative in the entire war." Li Yuehua looked cold, and when it came to military matters, The look on his face has changed a bit more murderous meaning, and the tone has a bit more sadness
"The war between the empire and Gaul for the hegemony in the north eventually spurred the Gaul-Kyoto battle that overthrew the Gaul empire, in the snowy winter that no one was optimistic about."
"At that time, everyone thought that the emperor would be defeated by the severe cold in Gaul. Gaul is already north, and the coldest winter temperature can reach more than 20 degrees below zero. Gaul people have always been in the north. The winter bear is famous for his ability to withstand cold, but it was in the proud winter battlefield of the Gauls. His Majesty personally commanded hundreds of thousands of imperial troops against the wind and snow, and madly assaulted thousands of miles with tens of thousands of horse-drawn sledges. Under the gaze of everyone’s disbelief, they forcefully defeated the Gaul Northern Army’s obstacles, and forced down 200,000 Gaul Kyoto garrisons at Fireplace, which eventually led to the death of the Gaul emperor, and Kyoto from the inside by the Gaul nobles. We opened the door by ourselves"
"The entire Gaul Empire fell downwind, and in just a few months it became an inland province of the empire"
"The Gaul mentioned by my sister is not the Gaul Empire that has confronted China and Biya for hundreds of years? And your Majesty Falcon personally took the risk and really led the army to attack Gaul Kyoto? Is it better than Was the war that the empire was wrong in the first place even more shocking?” Upon hearing Li Yuehua’s battle for the rise of the empire, Princess Mingyue’s eyes became straight, and her rosy and seductive lips were half-opened. She was shocked to the extreme in her heart. What she knew about the rise of the Falcon Empire was limited after all. One was a language problem, and the other was that no one would generally mention this to her. In the feeling of Princess Mingyue, The Falcon Empire seemed to appear in the direction of the Western Continent all at once, and what impressed her was also the war in the Ao Nacuo area!
It turns out that this is how Gaul ended. China and Biya have always introduced the Gaul Empire as the largest power in the Western Continent. Otherwise, how can they be qualified to be the enemy of China and Biya, even if deep down? Gong’s Princess Mingyue also knew that in the west of Zhongbia, there was an extremely powerful Gaul Empire with a vast territory and millions of soldiers, like a giant bear that made the entire Western Continent tremble, but this is Gaul. , Turned out to be flattened by the empire in a winter! If Li Yuehua didn't say this kind of thing, who would dare to believe it!
Looking at Princess Mingyue's inexplicable surprise, Li Yuehua couldn't help but chuckle. "It's indeed the Gaul Empire, but it's nothing. As for your Majesty's personal adventure, hehe"
Li Yuehua grinned, and her voice paused, "What did Hona do wrong? The princess only knows that your majesty is incomparable, but you also know that in Oubaro, your majesty is not only called the **** of war, but also called the **** of murder. , The battle for the expansion of the empire, the total number of enemies killed is probably three or four million.
"Similarly in the winter of the previous year, on the frozen plateau where the cold wind can turn people into popsicles, the Hungarian Kingdom in Central Europe rose fiercely, and half a million Hungarian cavalry crossed Central Europe. Unstoppable, it was your Majesty that defeated the Hungarian army and killed 400,000 Hungarians. The first war **** of Hungarian Hungarian army Bai Suradi had to bow and surrender to the empire. He was called a war dog under the empire. , Feishan Kingdom’s spear immediately defeated the old enemy Istan Empire, and the morale of the empire was like a rainbow to compete with the empire for control of Central Europe. The result was a miraculous defeat by His Majesty’s military forces overnight, reversing and killing dozens of miles, and finally together with the king. More than 300 high-ranking aristocrats were beheaded and killed"
"I dare not say anything else. Who has seen the huge Jingguan made up of 300,000 heads? It still stands on the plateau so far, no one dares to look directly at it! The entire Central Europe has gathered for more than a hundred years. The powerful rising power that only existed was cut off by His Majesty. The **** imperial sword~IndoMTL.com~The 300,000 people who were frozen in the wind and snow into a pile of meat, compared with these, are just a mere grassland. Press the wrong battle, what's the deal!"
"Then this time the Yelü family’s 100,000 troops rushed into Yanzhou in winter, if the empire sent troops to intercept and kill, wouldn’t it..." Princess Mingyue’s eyes were bright like moonlight, and she suddenly said, "From the wilderness to the northwest, and then to Yanzhou. State, which is a journey of hundreds of miles"
"Impossible, the Yelu Qiyeguang has already come, and an agreement has been reached with the empire. Otherwise, do you think that without your majesty’s approval, the Yelu family dare to attack Yanzhou? Even at the beginning, your majesty deliberately let the king go south to Yanzhou, I'm afraid there is already a plan to encourage Yelu's family to attack Yanzhou!"
Li Yuehua shook her head with regret, picked up the documents on the table, and sorted it out. She knew what Princess Mingyue was thinking, she was really naive. The empire is an empire, and China and Biya are China and Biya, and there is no benefit. How could your Majesty do it? If Princess Mingyue has been unable to figure out the dividing line in the middle, then nothing can be done. The carriage stopped in front of the four-story building in front, and an imperial guard officer was already waiting on the steps. , Saw the carriage stopped, quickly walked down the steps, and opened the car door "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time" (to be continued.)
