Power and Empire Chapter 3211: Fight back
After carefully inquiring with the head of the Imperial Supervision Division, Isa, I roughly figured out the situation of Lisboa. The fat man stopped walking back and forth, and his iron-blue expression was slightly relieved, and Isa continued to say "Til Although the Governor was seriously injured, his life is not serious. It is said that he is only left with a disability on his right foot. It can be seen that the people who attacked the Governor of Tyre are obviously unwilling to make things worse!"
With a weird look on Aisa’s face, he carefully glanced at the emperor, and saw that the emperor did not say anything, and said, "Listoto is almost one of the strongholds of empire commerce, among which there are as many as 30,000 or 40,000 merchants. Before the attack, the Governor of Tyre just announced the restriction of the privileges of some large merchants. The reason for the attack should be this. After the assassination, the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs responded quickly and took this opportunity to rectify the powerful merchants in Lisbon."
"Rectify? The fat man twisted his eyebrows, as if thinking of something, he asked again, "How many people have died?" "
"The subordinates **** it. Although they are under full control, there is still a situation of dead people. For the investigation, torture was used, but they were not dead. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, three large businessmen involved in the assassination were detained. Hundreds of protesting businessmen gathered outside the Ministry of Supervision. In addition, they had to take into account that Lisboa also represents the face of the empire. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was also specifically requested by the Ministry of Supervision. It is better not to cause deaths, but in the end it was There was something like this "Isa can only bite the bullet, take a deep breath, touch the ground, and eagerly replied
" Three people, how did they die?" A slightly angry voice pierced the eardrums, and Aisa could feel the emperor’s footsteps stop in front of him, and the beads of sweat filled his forehead uncontrollably. , Waded along the thin cheeks to the ground,
"They committed suicide in the prison of the Ministry of Supervision"
Isa can hear the sound of her throat swallowing saliva nervously. Under the emperor’s eyes, Isa feels that one of her hearts is about to jump out nervously. Everyone knows how important the emperor Lisboa is. , Here is the source of one-third of the empire’s finances and taxes, radiating the commercial center of the entire inland sea area. At the beginning, for this golden port, the emperor even brazenly declared war on the Congolese Empire during its prosperous period. Now three big merchants have died at once. , You can imagine the impact on Lisboa
"Three people, that's right, I'll just say, how can Lisboa suddenly break out of such a thing!" The fat man's face was blue, his eyes were bright and afraid of people, and he would kneel on his foot. Isa kicked a somersault in front, and yelled angrily, "The face of the Supervision Department, I've ruined you!"
" is the fault of his subordinates. It is too late to say anything, please punish your majesty! "Aisa turned over from the ground and heard the emperor's curse, and he was ashamed.
"Do you know where you are wrong? "Fatty has red eyes
" The subordinate shouldn't let the three people commit suicide, because the subordinate was too negligent... "Before I finished speaking, I felt a huge impact on the back again. , The whole person threw heavily on the ground, and the choking ground dust hit the face
" Is the head on top of your neck? When did I say that it was related to the three suicidal idiots. , When did the prisons of the Ministry of Supervision become a vegetable market that can come and go freely! Why are there only three instead of thirty, one, three hundred... The Supervision Department arrested so many people, In the end, only three died. They were neither tortured nor executed. They turned out to be suicide, suicide, what kind of world is this, suicide in the prison of the Ministry of Supervision, you let the face of the Imperial Supervision Department face there. Release!"
Fatty’s nose incited, the Imperial Supervision Department is directly under his own authority. In Fatty’s heart, that is the existence of the Ming Dynasty’s two factories, the killing knife in the hands of the emperor, the loyal dog to defend the king’s power, and only recognize the emperor. Regardless of right or wrong, when necessary, the emperor will be blamed. When does the notorious Ministry of Supervision need to take public opinion into consideration?
Is that still the Ministry of Supervision?
The fat man said angrily, "An imperial governor was assassinated and the Supervision Department arrested so many people. In the end, only three died and committed suicide. This is no shame, this is the whole thing. Lisboa slapped the face of the empire fiercely, and Duoze was attacked by the Feishan people.
Death, I used a full 300,000 heads of Feshan’s army, and the entire Feshan Kingdom’s high-ranking nobles and generals were buried for him. Since then, there has been no assassination of imperial officials for war purposes. This time The Governor of Lisboa was assassinated, and the Ministry of Supervision used three suicides to close the case. If it is not for your **** battle for the empire and your loyalty to the empire, I will immediately order you to be executed. People like you are the empire. The shame of the Ministry of Supervision! "
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are confused!"
Aisha had a somewhat aggrieved face, but he was already full of shame and shame
The emperor is furious. What is the death of the three merchants? There are so many merchants in the empire, and the business resources are so abundant. The dead merchants will soon have new ones. There are too few dead. I made the imperial inspectorate's notoriety shame. Fortunately, Isa was a soldier, and he was thick-skinned, so he was not kicked to death. Otherwise, he would become the first branch of the imperial inspectorate to be kicked to death by the emperor. People up
After ten minutes, the fat man was able to suppress the anger in his heart, his eyes swept over Isa who was kneeling in front of him, and he mumbled and said, "Do you know why Lisboa suddenly broke out of such a large-scale imperial weapon fraud? Your Supervision Department is the biggest reason. The nature of the businessmen is to expel the most profit. In the case of Governor Tyre's assassination, the Supervision Department has been so weak. It is natural to seize this opportunity and make a fortune. , It can be regarded as revenge for the imperial arrest of Lisboa businessmen. The ordnance fraud broke out, and the price of ordnance will inevitably be suppressed. They only need to buy at low prices, and then wait until the limelight is over, and sell at high prices, as long as they are slightly manipulated. They can easily earn the huge price difference, anyway, because of the defeat of the Eero side, they urgently need a large number of ordnance supplements, and the weapons they hoarded will not worry about selling!"
"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" Hearing the emperor's words, Aisa was stunned. He did not expect that the ordnance fraud would have a direct relationship with his Supervision Department.
Fatty looked at the starry sky outside the window. "Listo is the headquarters of the Imperial merchants and the headquarters of the Imperial Business Alliance. The strength of the merchants can be imagined. According to his understanding of the imperial merchants, he can basically be sure of this. The incident was a revenge by the Lisboa businessman against the empire. At the top of the empire, there are not many people who know the identity of Tirnarante. Although the Lisboa administrative officer airborne in Lisboa, he once attracted attention from all parties. After all, the value that a regional administrative officer can pay attention to is limited. With the passage of time, it is generally understood that the Governor of Tyre may only be from the background of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
After Tirnarante touched the interests of some big businessmen, these big businessmen took the risk of assassination to force Tirnarante to leave, the intervention of the Imperial Supervision Department, or make the big businessmen of Lisbonto nervous For a moment, but then the anticlimax of the Ministry of Supervision made the big business people think that weakness is to be deceived, and Eero insisted that inferior weapons came from the empire, which is not completely impossible! Such a large transaction, the arms trade of hundreds of thousands of armies, even in Lisbon, is the sum of trade for one year. In the face of such huge interests, there are not a few people who take risks, especially in the governor’s office which is unable to control and the Ministry of Supervision is weak. Under the circumstances that can be bullied"
"According to the decree of the Empire’s arms trade, any arms transactions must be reviewed by the Supervision Department. From now on, except for this seal, all other arms transactions will not be issued. Also, you can go to the Admiralty and ask They enlisted ten battleships. Tomorrow morning, I’m going to Huacheng Port." The fat man walked to the desk, opened the drawer and took out a seal from the inside and gave it to Isa. There was also an enlistment order for the Admiralty.
Aisha lowered his head, took the seal with both hands, took a look, his pupils couldn’t help but squeeze, for the emperor’s meticulous arrangement, admiration of the five bodies, this turned out to be the private seal of the Duke of Putu, so you can The outside world explained why other arms trades were rejected, and only the Duke’s Mansion was allowed to be released. After all, the nominal monarch of Lisboa was the Grand Duke of General, and the empire was only managed as the sovereign state, and the Duke’s Mansion was in charge. Even the Ministry of Supervision is not good at interfering when buying and selling weapons in one’s own territory
"Do it now"
Fatty waved his hand slightly tiredly. This seal was originally handed over to the Empire by the Duke of General Set in good faith. Fatty gave this seal to the Imperial Bank for safekeeping, which is actually an industry of the Empire Bank. , Isa turned away from the office, and went directly to the Imperial Navy Rees overnight
The port of Bento,
"Master Isa, how come you have time to come over?"
Chekov, the commander of the squadron stationed in the fleet, was called out in the middle of the night, with a face of unhappy, but in the face of the notoriety of the Ministry of Supervision, he could only shy face, smile on his face, and beat the drum in his heart. Time hasn't touched the law, hasn't it? After learning that Isa was here to mobilize naval warships, he said with embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Master Isa should know that the movement of more than ten naval warships must be ordered by the Navy Department, even if I am the commander of the squadron, I did not mobilize. The power of a fleet of this size"
" There is no order from the Admiralty, only this "Isa took out the enlistment order given by the emperor from his pocket
"Without the Admiralty’s order book, I really can’t call the shots without authorization, and I also ask Master Aisa to be considerate! "Chekov originally wanted to see Aisa’s slumped expression so that it could be deflated by the officials of the Ministry of Supervision. This is absolutely Can make him blow it for several years, take the order from Aisa with a smile on his face, glance over, and almost jump up in shock.
" Is this okay? "Aisa has a cold face, and there is a bruise on the face that was beaten by the emperor
"Of course, there is no problem!"
Chekov returned the order book with both hands, his face was extremely serious. Although I don’t know what the Supervision Department wants these ten warships to do, it is definitely not a simple matter to be able to come up with the emperor’s transfer order. I am checking the transfer. After the order, Chekov was very fascinated and did not ask anything, and directly handed over the command of the ten Dragon Tooth battleships to Isa.
Facing the morning sun, the triangular front end of the Dragon Tooth battleship splits the white mist around the sea like a sharp knife. The turbulent water splashed and rolled back. Ten Imperial Dragon Tooth battleships appeared in the shape of a product. In the open sea of Huacheng port, the fat man is wearing a black emperor uniform standing on the bow of the Dragon Tooth battleship,
The climate in Lisbon in October is dry and pleasant, with a hint of chill in the oncoming breeze. The cold winter from the north has not yet come, and the southern part of the country has always been milder by other regions. Such a mild temperature environment has created an overly lazy folk style on this land. The ships in the port ahead are all the ships of the Putao sea squadron, which are essentially the old-fashioned navy of Putu. At the request of the Duke Putu, Fatty The request of the Duke of Putao to rebuild the naval fleet of Putao was granted, and Huacheng Port was used as the headquarters of the squadron. At this moment, more than 30 old-style sailing warships are stopped in the port, floating up and down with the impact of the waves. , The sea waves washed up on the beach of Huacheng Port, like gold lines under the sunlight, white seagulls made a clear sound and fell on the mast of the Dragon Tooth battleship, and saw ten imperial Dragon Tooth. The battleship came in through the waves, and there was a clanging sound in the direction of the port
"I said that even if you have three sons, you can't beat me, so according to the agreement, your squadron must accept 600 Strandt sailors to work for you, and you must pay the wages equally.'
In an exquisite and beautiful villa in Huacheng Harbor, a huge domed room constructed entirely of white marble, an old man calmly dropped the chess piece in his hand, opposite him, wearing a thick patterned robe The face of the Duke of Putao was flushed. After more than ten seconds, the Duke of Putao looked at the old man on the opposite side and couldn't help saying, "Your Excellency Bappura, at any rate, you are also a well-known figure of the military god. Is it too embarrassing for the local fleet to recommend the Strand Mariner to do this?"
"Are you embarrassed? For your own country, even if you lie on the ground and let people step on it, it is a kind of pride. I didn't know who said this sentence at the beginning." The corners of Bappura's old mouth gave a slight disdain. ,
"My situation is completely different from your Excellency." The Duke of Buddhism looked embarrassed. In that situation, what hope could he give back? Who would have thought that the Empire would help himself to get Buddhism back, and he would destroy it in one fell swoop. The strong enemy Gangfei Empire,
"If there is a ray of possibility, I don’t want to act like this. "Bappura smiles bitterly." The Strand Sea State is annexed by the Empire~IndoMTL.com~ The Strands who live by the sea are used to living on the sea. It seems quite embarrassing. When the Strand Sea State was strong, it used the entire Inland Sea as its own back garden, and basically offended all the countries in the Inland Sea area. Now it is disbanded and the livelihood of tens of thousands of sailors is just one. The problem is that the original navy sailors can be adapted by the imperial navy, while the civilian sailors are rejected by the fleets of various countries
Now the entire Inland Sea area is refusing to hire Strands. If you still can’t find a job, this winter, I’m afraid the Strands will freeze to death and starve many people to death, Strands. The country was annexed by the empire, but the Strands still need to continue to live, right? Because there is no terrestrial territory, they have no other way to live except by the sea. Seeing that Putao was occupied by Gang Fei at the beginning, only Strant sent people to rescue. Please also ask Lord Duke to help Strant people."
"My lord, the Imperial Navy has just docked at the port!" A Duke attendant pushed open the door and came in
"The imperial navy is here, why don’t I know anything about it?" The Duke of Putao looked surprised. The main force of the imperial navy is in the inland waters. Now there is only one squadron stationed in Lisbon, the commander of the squadron. The officer is not familiar with himself
" The other party didn’t disembark, but they brought me this. "The attendant handed over a letter, and the Duke of Putao took a look and almost made a sound. Oh my god, isn’t he still in Central Bahrain? Why, how come I came to Huacheng Port at once, and contacted the roaring imperial weapon counterfeiting farce in Lisbon at the moment, the Duke of Pu Tao couldn't help shaking his hand holding the letter. This is the rhythm of the **** storm!
