Power and Empire Chapter 3651: Spring storm (2)
In April’s sacred city of the sacred state, the cold wind has completely disappeared from the large wetland of the sacred capital, and the climate has become pleasant. Standing on the streets of the sacred capital, the temperature is just right and not cold. Not hot, the warm spring breeze brought the fragrance of vanilla, and the trees on both sides of the street also began to sprout a lot of green leaves, decorating the city with vitality. With the influx of imperial merchants, the shops on both sides of Shengdu Street also Covered by various advertisements unique to the Empire Store, the colorful long ribbon flags are flying in the wind, and the entire holy capital is embellished like a huge barrier of ten thousand flags. According to the statistics of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, only February and In March and two months, the number of imperial merchants entering the ecclesiastical state has more than five times increased
Be aware that although the empire originally had an alliance with the ecclesiastical state, the ecclesiastical state was quite resistant to commerce, and the Templars were also hostile to the empire. They regarded the imperial merchants as spies that infiltrated the ecclesiastical state. There are actually only 17 chambers of commerce that are allowed to enter the ecclesiastical country, and the scope of the imperial merchants is also restricted by the Temple Army around the Holy Capital. If they want to continue south, they will be considered by the Temple Army. The act of espionage, and with the end of the battle of the Holy Capital, almost all of the southern part of the Holy Capital of the Order suffered various degrees of damage, and then the Temple Army launched the flag of the south, which severely damaged the vitality of the Holy Land. I smashed it harder
As a result, before the Temple Army left the sacred capital area, the Martin Liya remnants who had been deemed unable to fight again succeeded in their counter-kill. Not only did they robbed the last bit of national power that they had finally raised, but even the temple. The army knight commander Hussadu was beheaded by Martin Liya on his way back to the Holy City. The light that the Templar had originally been likely to contend with the empire was extinguished.
The Temple Army took away more than 80% of the materials in the holy capital, but they were all lost and clean. They also caused a total of more than 80,000 casualties. The whole holy capital was full of grief.
Finally, Pope Putamia personally came forward to reorganize the Templar Army. At the same time, he signed a full trade agreement with the Emperor of the Ecclesiastical State to fully open the country’s commercial routes to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. At the cost of exempting all taxes in the year, the imperial chambers of commerce poured into the ecclesiastical country in large numbers. The imperial merchants were already very concerned about opening up the ecclesiastical country’s business lines. Now they finally waited for the opportunity. As the frozen inner sea thaws, The imperial merchant ships came in droves. The religious group members who once closed the country with politics and religion also tasted the sweetness of business prosperity for the first time. These imperial chambers of commerce brought a large number of job opportunities. In order to open up the business route of the religious group, the imperial merchants The position of the route has absorbed a large number of workers from the sect country, and it has solved the biggest question of the sect country, the problem of more than 100,000 refugees working and eating. After the initial run-in, the hearts of the ordinary people in the sect country The connection with the imperial merchants has become even closer.
The sacred capital of the sect of the country, once completely shrouded in a religious atmosphere, is now a prosperous business place. The major chambers of commerce in the empire regard this ancient city as their base camp. Carefully selected locations in the city, began to establish its own headquarters, and moved the key personnel to the holy capital of the sacred state, as the empire in the southern European Baro region, the true center of business and commerce, and the geographical location of the holy capital of the sacred state It can be described as detached and excellent. It is located in the center of a flat land that is more than a hundred miles away. To the west, it is the Fei Ze area where the empire has just established its dominance. To the east, it is the most fertile plain of Southern Europe. To the north of Luo, to the south is the central area of Southern Europe where the imperial merchants dreamed of selling goods
We must know that although the empire’s commerce line has extended from Northern Europe Barrow to southern Europe’s central and southern part of its tentacles, they are only very few chambers of commerce. The so-called scarce resources themselves are wealth. Those few can reach from Southern Europe Barrow. The chambers of commerce in the central region may bring ordinary goods from the central region of southern Europe to the market in the northern European Barrow region. The golden antelope horns on the Martin Liya Prairie have always been regarded by the nobles of the northern European Barrow region. As a symbol of auspiciousness, a pair appears occasionally, and it is priceless. Even the main hall of the former Gaul royal family hangs in the most conspicuous position. It is a pair of golden antelope horns with a length of one and five meters to show Gaul. The royal family is blessed by heaven
There is also a white tree in the southern region, which has been regarded as the most sacred plant species currently known. It is said that people who are about to die can get rid of the fear of death as long as they mouth the leaves of this white tree. , Gradually stop breathing in peace and sleep, without the need to experience the pain before death. In fact, these things are not uncommon in the central part of South Oubaro. Although there are not many golden antelope horns, they are often found in the fortress of Lord Martin Teeth. The white leaves, 100% are some kind of plants with paralyzing effect. They are also used by native mages as props in the local area. However, these things may be dozens of times the price in the imperial Nordic Barrow market. It's so big that even Salton, who was once stationed on the west coast, was tempted by it. He also sent an adventure team to the south to experiment. Unfortunately, because of the unfamiliar terrain and the blockade of the locals, the results were few.
At noon, there were people coming and going on the street, and there were already a lot of pedestrians. As the smoke of war went away, the tragedy that had erupted was just a module in people’s memory, and pedestrians were all free. Enjoy the bright spring sunshine at ease. In order to obtain a loan from the Imperial Bank, Putamia mortgaged almost all the most important arterial roads in the Holy Capital. The Imperial Bank leased both sides of the main road to the major chambers of commerce in the empire. Duomi’s central arterial road has spawned a lot of shops. Most of these shops are operated by the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. In order to quickly open the market, they have adopted a low-price sales strategy.
For a time, the streets were full of colorful flags of Yin Yinyan, all beautiful girls soliciting customers. For the first time, the Empire showed what is prosperous and what is a commercial district, not a festival, in front of the entire South Europa. But it’s even more lively than festivals. The Empire’s project to help rebuild the sect nation is so huge. It is impossible for the empire’s merchants to transport all the materials from the far north of the Inland Sea, so the most direct and convenient way is naturally from the southern Europeans. In addition, the imperial merchants built four large exchanges in the Holy Capital of the Kingdom of the Order, which also attracted countless merchants and nobles from the Southern Oubaro region to the Holy Capital.
An exquisite carriage crossed the street, dribbling to the side of the main road, where there is a hotel. The sky blue high roof and the temple inscriptions engraved on the doorposts make this place look incompatible with the surrounding commercial atmosphere, but it does not affect the existence of this hotel, just like a place suddenly seen in the busy world Quietly, all those who pass by here will have a pious breath in their hearts
And before it became a hotel, it was a temple,
In order to pledge, Putamia even mortgaged the eight unused temples in the holy capital, but none of the church members scolded her. On the contrary, many people were sacrificed by the pope. To be impressed, you must know that one of the eight temples is the residence of His Highness Putamia. In order to exchange food from the empire, Putamia, as the supreme pope, did not hesitate to go and talk to him. The imperial merchants bargained, not only sold the temple, but also sold out all the treasures accumulated in the temple over the years, but because of the efforts of His Highness the Pope, this winter, the huge holy capital, except for a few deaths due to the cold Out of ten, there are few people who starve to death
This is completely unimaginable for the holy capital that is almost empty of supplies. This is a holy relic. God has not given up the state of the Order. In this winter, the people of the Holy City in the holy city really feel the existence of the Pope. I feel what is the holy light
It has a history of forty years. The name of the golden temple on the gate has become a bit bleak in the precipitation of the years. The residence of His Highness the Pope is the presence of palaces in other countries, and the merchants who bought this place maximized the layout inside. The reservation was made. The huge hotel has only 20 rooms open to the outside world, which determines that the business here is indeed very hot, and it even needs to be booked in advance.
At this moment, a very young woman is standing by the window and looking out, her fingers flicking the hanging hair, and in the other hand she is holding a report sent in, wearing a man-style costume. The slender figure, smooth skin, and the pale yellow scarf exposed at the neckline make people think that she is a handsome boy. At this moment, her eyes are on the parked carriage in front of the hotel
"Siglin, how likely do you think the emperor agrees to be returned to our prisoners?"
Sam Tamara's slender and beautiful figure turned around from the window and looked at a middle-aged man who opened the door of the room and walked in. She was the empire who had just been promoted to the S-level Chamber of Commerce in January. The person in charge of the Azure Chamber of Commerce is naturally a person who is qualified to book a room in this special hotel, but if her true identity is exposed, the whole holy capital will be shaken. She is the young master of the Sam tribe, Sam Tamara. , I am afraid that the entire continent would not have thought that the battle between the Empire and Martin Liya for supremacy had just ceased. The army of 500,000 Martin Liya was defeated, and more than 200,000 people died in the Holy Capital as Martin Liya III. The young master of the Sam nationality, one of the big clans, personally went to the holy capital
"It's hard to tell if it's someone else, but the empire doesn't have the usual practice of killing prisoners." The newly promoted mainland star who was leading the remnants of Martin Liya back to Martin Liya sighed slightly. "But if the empire let the Martin Liya people go like this, it would not be possible if they did not pay a sufficient price. Even if the empire and us are already secretly joined together, this relationship is often the least trustworthy. Even if an emperor has our surrender book in his hands, it does not mean that he will unconditionally help us to stabilize the situation. Don’t forget, the current dilemma of Martin Liya was created by the emperor’s hands."
"The price?" Sam Tamara's figure is obviously thinner than before, but she is more charming. It can be seen that in the more than a month since that battle, the pressure of the young leader of the Sam group has been greatly reduced. Great, as the only one of the three tribes, the youngest majesty who has not yet failed, and the candidate for the crown prince after the Sam tribe enters the royal family next year. This period of time is naturally responsible for various domestic dispatches, and more than 200,000 remnants return to the country. Everyone is just like the beggars. Although they are supported by Templar supplies, they just starve to death. In the end, more than 20,000 people fell on the way home. The eight countries in Central China won them again on the Western Front. After visiting two provinces, the reports requesting reinforcements flew like snow flakes. Fortunately, Sam Tamara’s military capabilities were average, but after all, he was also a figure who helped the Azure Chamber of Commerce. The Volunteer Army transferred the newly returned troops to the west to stabilize the situation
But everyone knows that what really determines the future life and death of the Martin Liya Kingdom is actually the emperor who is watching the wind and snow in the holy capital
"What is the price? Two hundred thousand people died in battle, more than 60,000 people were captured, and more than 40,000 people were missing. I lost more than half of the three lords of Martin Liya, and the country was almost collapsed. Is this price not enough? "
"Now the country is in urgent need of these captives. The eight central countries are raging in the west of the kingdom, and there are Otu people in the south. Other surroundings are also eyeing, and there are more or less signs of crossing the border, and the silver fox has to look at the country. The fact that there is a shortage of troops, leaving half of the troops in the Harvey Plateau and planning with the Ikars to attack the Harvey Kingdom is a real joke. Even if the Harvey Kingdom is captured, what will happen if the Empire refuses to release prisoners, then we and the Empire’s The secret covenant is meaningless, because the kingdom of Martin Liya no longer exists. "Sam Tamara's mouth shows a touch of anger. After these two months, it can be seen that a lot has changed.
Originally it was a delicate flower growing in a greenhouse, and the Sam clan let her toss about it, but now, when the burden of the kingdom is reduced, the young maid of the Sam group has already faintly revealed a bit of truth. With the breath of the crown prince, Sieglin sighed slightly in his heart when he saw this scene. The battle of the holy capital, under his desperate mediation, finally brought half of the Martin Liya people back to the kingdom
However, the current situation of the Kingdom of Martin Liya is not as simple as being weakened. The western front has already covered most of the war. The national power of the Kingdom of Martin Liya is rapidly losing, and the refugees from the west to other areas have already Over 1.5 million, the 17 provinces to the west of the kingdom have lost eleven, and the remaining six are still struggling.
It is located in the central part of the core of the kingdom. At present, it is impossible to draw any troops, because the troops of the Holy Capital War almost emptied the core area of Martin Liya. Although the remnants returned to the country, the troops that can really fight are not Halfway through, 100,000 people were transferred to the Western Front, which was barely equal to the 500,000 or so people who had been wildly expanded by the eight central countries. The only one who could mobilize troops back was the 80,000 Martin Forces in the Harvey area, but The Silver Fox did not know what to do, and had firmly grasped the control of the 80,000 Martin Forces in his hands. The Silver Fox completely ignored the requisition of the kingdom, and instead launched an offensive on the Harvey Plateau.
The current Martin Liya Kingdom is like a ship leaking everywhere. Although it will not sink immediately, if it is not blocked, it is really hard to say whether it will last until the Sams come to power next year. And in fact, because of the loss of the main force of the Yier in the Battle of the River, the current royal family of the Yier has been unable to suppress other lord forces. In addition, the commander of the Sam Clan Siglein turned the tide in the late battle of the Holy Capital and saved twenty. Wan Martin’s remnant army, the Sam clan actually took over the royal power ahead of time, but because of the rotation system, the royal clan is still the Y’ir clan, and the Y’i clan also said that as long as the Sam clan can let the empire release prisoners of war After returning, the Yier not only handed over the royal family in advance, but also promised to give up the royal position in six years to the Sam family.
The Sam tribe is already noisy about this matter. Some of the Sam tribe lords said that this is completely the Yier tribe’s conspiracy, and the Yier tribe has an inescapable responsibility for the fiasco of the holy capital. The Mu clan is so powerful that they put forward this vicious condition. It’s not that simple for the empire to release the prisoners. When the negotiation fails, the Yier clan can completely attribute the responsibility of the empire not to release the captives to the Sam clan. You have to know. , The prisoners were not only the Crown Prince Spike of the Yier tribe, but also dozens of lords of the other three tribes. Now because of the failure of the Sam tribe’s negotiation, the prisoners can’t return. The families of these prisoners will definitely make noise to the tribe. At that time, it is clear that the responsibility for defeating the war is the Yier ethnic group, but it is the Sam ethnicity who is scolded.
Other people believe that although it is very unreliable, the opportunity is also great. It can even be said that it is the biggest opportunity for the Sam people in more than a hundred years. If they succeed, the Sam people will be in power for six years. According to the current momentum of the Sam’s quickly surpassing the other two groups, if there is another six years in power, the possibility of the Sam’s ending the three-ethnic rotation system is extremely high. This kind of opportunity may not be once in a century. It is missed. I don’t know when next time
"I think this danger is worth risking" Sam Tamara stood up at the meeting, saying that he still knew about the empire, knew the empire's strategy for prisoners of war, and expressed his willingness to go to the holy capital to discuss this matter in person
At this moment, the eyes of other people are all strange, and they all look at the contemporary patriarch of the Sam tribe and the woman with a big belly next to the patriarch. There are whispered discussions in the conference hall, Sam Tamara As the Young Master of the Sam ethnic group, it is best to be able to go in person, but this time is another matter. This woman's production period will not exceed one month. Once she landed, she might be a powerful competitor for His Royal Highness. , Don’t Her Royal Highness Tamara know ~ IndoMTL.com~ At this moment, she absolutely can’t leave, let alone go to the holy capital, the Cultists hate Martin Liya people, as long as they leak a little bit. The sound of the wind is the result of no more disasters
"His Royal Highness is honorable, how can I do this kind of thing personally, let the subordinate go down"
Siglin stood up with a serious face, and categorically interrupted Sam Tamara to continue speaking. Siglin led the 200,000 remnants to return to the country, with no prestige at the moment, but thought that he had not been alone in the past few days. Sieglin did not immediately reveal the secret appointment with the Imperial Emperor. This kind of thing must never be known to others. It is a pity that the patriarch of the Sam clan was busy seizing power from the Yier clan in advance, so he just let Si Green took a break for a while, but he didn’t mean to meet him at all. So far, the Sam clan patriarch does not know the secret agreement between Sigrilin and the empire, and Sigrilin also faintly noticed something wrong.
"Why don't you two go together" said the chief of the Sam clan to quiet the whole conference hall
