Power and Empire Chapter 3603: The strongest weapon
If anyone fell from the throne cheered by the people the most quickly and became a spokesperson who was scolded by everyone, then it must be Nabopan, the current Privy Officer of the Church of the Kingdom of the Order, this The Privy Officer was once the most trusted civilian official of Pope Putamia, a humble and clear-headed politician, and even the savior of the people, the defender of the temple, the few who disappeared in Pope Putamia In the month, the privy officer in charge of the holy capital soon turned from a benevolent sage in the eyes of the people to a traitor in just a few weeks, in the streets of the holy capital, even in Gettya. The purpose is in bars and restaurants, where complaints about this Secret Officer can be heard everywhere.
At this moment, Nabopan is sitting quietly in a bar near the accommodation area on the outskirts of Getayam, listening leisurely to the curses and resentments of the people next to him. This is a fairly standard bar, built by imperial merchants. It is a two-story spacious room. The slab in the middle of the second floor has been completely dug out to become a patio where you can see everything below. The tables and chairs are all It is made of the best gangue ebony, it looks quite calm and dignified, and there is a magnificent and elegant taste in it. The huge crystal chandelier and the rich milky fragrance in the air are not what ordinary people can. Enjoy it. All of this proves that this place belongs to where rich people can come.
There is a step on the west side of the ground floor. There is the stage for the performance. At the moment, there is only one waiter playing quiet music. But the melodious sound of music obviously couldn't calm the mood of the guests who were in annoyance and anger. In fact, for the imperial merchants during this period, it is impossible to have any music to calm them down
In the holy capital, the major chambers of commerce are wailing
The collaboration of Pope Putamia and the two women of the Imperial Bank Socutus Delan gave these domineering Imperial Chambers of commerce a heavy blow. Pope Putamia named the important items of the temple stolen. , Strongly ordered a thorough investigation of the material loss in the Holy Capital, and then blocked all the materials of the 17 imperial chambers of commerce involved, and the six chambers of commerce with smuggling background
Facing the soldiers who broke through the door, even the major chambers of commerce that had previously shouted to protest were dumbfounded. At this moment, the major chambers of commerce realized that they had fallen into a trap, because these broke the doors of their chambers of commerce. Soldiers’ armors are inlaid with white thorns, facing the emperor’s guards, resistance is treason! Every major chamber of commerce has a large number of mercenaries, who dares to do it!
At this time, if the major chambers of commerce do not know that it is the emperor who really wants to clean them up, the heads of these chambers of commerce are all idiots
"The imperial guards must be mobilized with an emperor's warrant and verification by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Even if Putamia has an emperor's warrant, it must be verified by the Ministry of Military Affairs. It is impossible to mobilize the imperial guards quickly. And during this period of time, it was enough for us to easily mobilize the power in our hands to make this stubborn pope succumb.” Looking at the sword gleaming in the cold rain, the Imperial Guard took away the business leaders like a fierce one, and all the chambers of commerce realized they were wrong. It’s too ridiculous, everyone is deceived by this statement,
Putamia brought the Imperial Guards back to the Holy Capital. Naturally, there was a warrant from His Majesty the Emperor. The verification by the Ministry of Military Affairs may take time for others, but for another woman, she signed the five directly. The military department transfer order of less than a hundred people was a privilege granted by the emperor, and that woman was Socutus Delan of the Imperial Bank.
At this time, many chambers of commerce remember the past that they have forgotten.
That was still a matter of Socutus Delan as the thirteen deacons of the Empire Business Alliance. Faced with Socutus Delan’s restraint on the major business deacons, naturally powerful business deacons opposed it. The result of several times is that a total of four business families that were behemoths in the eyes of other businessmen collapsed. Seventeen first-class businessmen in various industries either disappeared, or urgently dumped all industries for refuge. Behind Socutus Delan Standing with the imperial military, even to a certain extent, Socutus Delan could directly sign the military order of the Ministry of Military Affairs. This has been the default of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Empire. In this way, five hundred imperial guards raided that night. The major chambers of commerce in Shengdu,
The major chambers of commerce that fled hurriedly were also arrested the next day. The news brought back also made the merchants of the entire holy capital lose the confidence to continue protesting. Just when the imperial guards in the city moved their hands, the saints Outside the capital, Socutus Delan's 20,000 private army of the Imperial Bank generals the waters surrounding the major city gates of the holy capital! The combination of the two women is enough to control any loss of control that erupts in the Holy Capital. Even if the major chambers of commerce have their own armed mercenaries, it is impossible to fight against the 20,000 troops outside the city!
"The Seventeenth Defensive Banner Regiment stationed at fifty miles northeast of the holy capital was so indifferent to the holy capital. As an imperial soldier, it was really hateful!" Suddenly, a wine glass flew out and the goal was exactly that. The musician playing. The musician's skill is called vigorous. He dodges the hidden weapon that was thrown in time, hula la, a sound of glass crashing and breaking, followed by repeated voices of apology.
"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, this brother of mine is in a bad mood, and I will pay for all the losses." A middle-aged man sitting next to the perpetrator was dressed quite decently, as if Said the gentleman. With that, he took out a handful of imperial gold and gently placed it on the counter. The owner of the bar smiled, swept the gold coin into the drawer, and then slowly said, "Mr. Boone, this can’t blame your brother. Who would have thought that such a change would happen in Sanctuary, especially that? A privy officer, how much benefit has been gained from us!
"Who said no, why would we meet such a hypocrite? Why can't good people have peace and longevity? Why can traitors be prosperous?" An old man on the table on the left also said angrily.
"Aren't we the ones who bribed that guy? All of this is our own bitter wine, and now we have to taste it." The perpetrator, who was obviously a little drunk, said.
"My brother, this thing can only be said to be because that guy knows how to act. He has deduced hypocrisy and deception to a state of proficiency. When Putamia disappeared, our major chambers of commerce believed that it was even normal. Damia has returned and is already unable to fight us, but who would have thought that Socutus Delan would participate." The businessman sitting next to the perpetrator had an ugly expression on his face, even when it came to Pope Putamia. Well, if it’s Socutus Delan, he is a figure who can make the imperial business community tremble with a slight frown. The original commercial war against Southern Europe was defeated by Socutus Delan alone. The large chambers of commerce in Southern Europe joined forces to ruin thousands of small businessmen in Southern Eero, which was no less tragic than a million-level war
But the big guy who caused the accident, obviously didn’t take it at all. "Aren’t the Imperial soldiers come out to uphold justice? We are regular businessmen in the empire!"
After a while, one of the pair of young scholars sitting by the window, Nonodi said, "The law does not blame the public, and it is not a single chamber of commerce involved, and the empire has promised not to Intervention in the Holy Capital, so everyone swallowed the reassurance, but no one had thought that this order that everyone thought was a protection, at this moment has become the biggest weakness that the major chambers of commerce can only stare at. Even if the Chamber of Commerce has the power to resist, it would not dare to make any changes in the Holy Capital. It is ironic to say!
"I want to convene all the imperial chambers of commerce to protest against the sacred capital incident. If the sacred capital does not release our people and compensate us for our losses, the major chambers of commerce will completely cut off the supply of the sacred capital. I don’t believe it. Damia will not surrender?" The big man said more and more excited. He swept away and knocked all the wine glasses on the table to the ground. A series of glass breaking sounds sounded, accompanied by flying bubbles, bursts of strong. The scent of alcohol drifted away in all directions.
"Stupid, it was your majesty’s guards who arrested the people, the private army of Socutus Delan controlled the holy capital, and the name was Pope Putamia. As for the military, the empire has long He promised that he would not send troops to interfere in the holy capital, not to mention, this may not be the emperor's order." A middle-aged businessman with a gloomy face sighed and immediately made everyone in the bar speechless. No matter it was the gentleman next to him, the old man in the corner, or the group of businessmen gathered in the distance, no one stood up to refute. Obviously these words hit their key points. They were indeed in the sect during this time. The country’s troubles are too fierce. Although some people have expressed their concerns, everyone still maintains a fluke mentality in their hearts
Looking at the broken glass, everyone was speechless. At this moment, silence became their only choice.
In this situation, the Nabopan sitting on the second floor sighed secretly that everything was under the emperor's control. As the emperor expected, when the major chambers of commerce were under the pressure of the Holy Capital, the first thing they thought of was resistance, but soon it was the split of their internal self. This is the nature of the merchants, facing a powerful force that cannot be confronted. At that time, the first thing that came to my mind was self-protection, such as commercial covenants, which had long been thrown away.
I thought that the huge amount of gold coins and countless unknown expensive treasures these large chambers of commerce sent to bribe themselves were secretly sent to the Southern Intelligence Department of the Empire, and then fell into the emperor’s pocket. Nabo plate carried it by hand. He lifted the light gray spectacles on the bridge of his nose and his eyes were cold and indifferent. He is not a greedy person. In fact, being able to be entrusted by Putamia to manage the Holy Capital is enough to show his character
In fact, regardless of whether the major chambers of commerce have been the emperor’s **** from the beginning, the Pope Putamia gave up the holy capital and infiltrated the southern part of Eero to find his death. Naturally, the emperor could not sit and watch the holy capital lose control. The official himself was summoned by the emperor. The first sentence the emperor saw when he saw him was "Do you want to preserve the holy capital? At least before Putamia returns, so that the holy capital will not be wiped off the map by those imperial merchants?" If you refuse to cooperate with the imperial merchants, they will choose to bypass the holy capital. Without the material support of the imperial merchants, the holy capital will become a dead city within a month! "It can be said that almost overnight, Bopan seems to have become another person, like the series of reversal decrees issued under the inducement of the imperial merchants, almost instantly, breaking his character for many years
The auction of the mining rights of the eight provinces in the south of the ecclesiastical country may not make the people of the ecclesiastical country hate and revil him, but the betrayal of all foreign trade rights makes the ecclesiastical country’s secret The commander lost all his goodwill, and it also made the insightful people in the holy capital heartbroken, because it meant that the economic lifeline of the holy capital would be completely controlled by the imperial merchants.
But the most hated by the public is the commercial protection regulations issued. The ecclesiastical countries have always opposed business in the past. Now it is turned over. The domestic strongly supports businessmen, including the privilege of foreign investment businessmen. The protection greatly touched the rights and interests of the people of the religious group, and it also laid the legal support for the empire's major chambers of commerce to be rampant. Because of this, the voice of opposition rang from all directions overnight. Many people even preached that they would kill themselves as a traitor
I have protected the holy capital, but I can’t protect the entire state of the Order!
Looking at the impassioned man downstairs, looking at the silent, remorseful people who drank silently, Nabo curled his mouth slightly, because he knew very well that all of this was It was just part of the promise that the emperor gave himself "Within half a year, I will return you a clean sanctuary"
The change of the holy capital is an unstoppable situation
The religious regiment country has gone through a catastrophe, waiting to be revived, and urgently needs a large amount of funds. Even if it does not have its own, the regions of the religious regiment country that have lost control will choose to cooperate with well-funded imperial merchants, and there is no need to deliberately manipulate it. The thoughts of others. In fact, selfishness, greed, and endless desires exist in everyone's heart. As long as they gently point the direction, almost everyone will rush toward the huge benefits without hesitation. Go, if the holy capital plays an obstructive role here, as the emperor said, not only will the provinces and capitals of the sect state immediately abandon the holy capital, but also the imperial merchants will completely bypass the holy capital and change the holy capital. Become a dead city!
drank the wine glass in his hand, Nabo arranged his collar, pressed a cup of imperial gold on the table, stood up and walked down the stairs, holding a black cloth package in his right hand. Outside the door of the tavern, Nabo squinted his eyes, his gaze fell on the towering Gataiam mountain in the distance. It is said that the biggest secret of the temple is also the biggest secret of the temple as a direct line of the holy city~IndoMTL.com~ It is said that the most powerful weapon of the **** in the holy city is in his hands at this moment. Although it is only a blueprint, since the founding of the State of the Order, I don’t know how many people have died for this blueprint. The royal family dispatched countless masters for this drawing, and they all returned in the end, not because they didn’t grab it, but because even the temple itself was lost
can't find the temple by themselves, and it is even more impossible for others to find it! I have to admit that forgetting is the best protection
Maybe the three major forces never dreamed that this pair of blueprints would now fall into the hands of an unknown person like him.
takes charge of the holy capital, and naturally has the right to enter the former forbidden area of the holy capital. You can't find this even in Nabopan. There are countless rumors about the strongest weapon in the sect. There are various opinions. At the beginning, Martin Liya rushed to the holy capital with menacing popularity. It is said to a large extent that he also rushed to the strongest weapon, but when Nabopan opened the warehouse door and stood there, Nabopan did not believe that such an important drawing was quiet Lying quietly among thousands of drawings of various colors in the warehouse, there is no special mark, no special content, just as an ordinary map stored there, if there is no god's eye sent by the empire as a distinguish The tool, the pale white brilliance of God’s Eye flows to this map like water. The Getaiyama Mountains on the map are distorted and deformed in the brilliance, and finally a new Getaiyama Mountain appears on the map.
Nabo was stunned as he watched the last ray of brilliance absorbed by the map, only to believe that the map of Getai Mountain, which looked like a sword breaking through the sky, was the rumored "strongest weapon"
