Power and Empire Chapter 699: Demonstration (1)

The carriage passed by Paravin Central Avenue, and the buildings and trees on both sides of the street were projected on the second prince's somewhat hazy face from time to time, revealing a series of black and white lights and shadows.

Turning his head, the second prince Harraskes turned his attention to a delicate-looking young nobleman on the opposite side. "Bukdaqing, I am satisfied with the work performance of the recent reorganization of Kyoto. Under Qing's effective measures, In cleaning up the daring words of the civilians and investigating the spies of the rebels outside the city (both Swadians call each other rebels), especially the arrest of 7 rebellious academic leaders at one time last night, it can be described as an outstanding achievement. Sir, you have worked hard."

The young nobleman on the opposite side owed his body politely, and said with a shallow smile, "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is too complimented. These are all in the name of the heroic entrustment of His Highness. Those insurgent officials are simply uncomfortable trying to hit the stone with a pebble It’s just a matter of your ability. Everything under your subordinates is just doing your own duties. The main achievements are still owed to His Royal Highness and several capable colleagues.

Especially the leader of the banner of Posalas recommended by His Highness. Last night, he took the risk and fought the leaders of the scum on the front line. He is our warrior."

"Oh, I heard that Qing's subordinates are also..." the second prince asked hesitantly in his voice

"Unfortunately, compared with the injured Bosalas banner leader, my unskilled subordinate is too embarrassing..."The young nobleman shook his head with shame. "I have ordered The whole city is searched, and these rebels must be wiped out, and there must not be a missing target."

"Your Excellency, you are too modest. Your achievements are obvious to all. Since the adoption of your mute strategy, the atmosphere in Kyoto has improved too much. The second prince picked the curtain of the carriage and said

"Looking at the awe of passers-by, I know that Kyoto is recovering the majesty in people’s hearts. It’s been a long time since I saw it." The second prince seemed quite emotional, and didn’t know if it was true or false. In this regard, the two princes have been trained for perfection

"This is where His Royal Highness's prestige comes from... The subordinates just took up a little light..." The young nobleman said respectfully, his delicate face full of sincerity,

If the name Berkda hadn’t come from the mouth of the second prince, no one would have believed that this handsome and somewhat hazy young man was the one who raised the flag in the south and gathered in just one month. In the era of 80,000 troops, now he is also the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Military Affairs, and the Minister of City Guards with three important positions. Its limelight in Kyoto can be described as the same.

The second prince Harouskes flipped through the report in his hand and frowned.

"But what I am puzzled is...In just ten days, your city guard system has cracked more than 8,000 cases of treason and surrendered to the enemy, and captured more than 48,000 criminals... Is this number exaggerated?" /

"The subordinates are incompetent and can't catch all the rebels who don't know how to be grateful. It is really the kindness of the crown prince, and the ministers are terrified. But please check with the crown prince of the country, the subordinates are indeed doing their best." Deliberately put on a look of panic, the young man solemnly said with regret

"The subordinates will go back and immediately order the garrisons and city guards of the four gates in the city to attack the rebels with greater force and severe measures."

"This..." The second prince opened his eyes wide, as if choked, his eyes were fixed on the young nobleman in front of him. After staying in Kyoto for a long time, he really never thought of encountering such a shameless person. Guy,

To treat the irony as a compliment, do you really treat me as a fool?" The second prince has the feeling of playing the piano to a cow,

"Cough cough"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, the second prince coughed twice to alleviate the embarrassment, and continued, ""Bukdaqing, you have misunderstood. I mean, forty thousand people were arrested in just ten days. Is it too much? Is this too cruel? If we continue to capture it in this way, the entire population of Kyoto will not last for two months."

"His Royal Highness, it is absolutely impossible to have such an idea"

The young nobleman opened his eyes and knelt in front of the second prince very excited, with an angry face saying, "The 200,000 rebels outside the city are always staring at the head of His Highness.

At this moment, as long as you hesitate a little bit, your Highness will be swallowed by the 200,000 rebels. If you go back then, it will be too late. Your Highness also knows that those academic teachers and students and the university of Kyoto Some little nobles have always been in contact with the rebels outside the city. Their number is more than 40,000? Now, they are just getting the punishment they deserve. "

"But I know that Hedrich, who manages the royal archives, is also on the list of rebellious leaders." The second prince said unwillingly. Is it too ridiculous to be rebellious"

"Your Majesty, are you talking about the old archives manager?" The young nobleman looked confused and said in silence for a while. When His Highness needs to establish the Crown Prince the most, he is indifferent because of his greed and fear of death, and he secretly has correspondence with certain rebels. This is an unforgivable act of treason. If the rebellion is not punished, who will be loyal to his Highness? "

The second prince's face turned red and white, and he was speechless for a long while. Then he asked, "The deputy commander of the city guard, the commander of the Keli Daren Banner. You suddenly dismissed him. There is no possibility for him to cooperate with the rebellion."

"His Royal Highness, Keli Daren, as the deputy commander of the city guard, pushed back and forth when executing the order last night. If when the rebels outside the city attacked, he would be greedy for life and fear of death, leading his subordinates to abandon the city. Fleeing... My subordinates remember that at the time when defending the city was the most critical last time, His Highness had issued Military Order No. 271. Before the military order, if any retreat was treated as a fleeing in battle, Keli Dan’s behavior had already constituted a fleeing in battle. .

"But his previous exploits..."

"His Majesty, merits and demerits cannot be offset. Otherwise, everyone would dare to commit crimes and be brazen, and the king's prestige will be gone." The young aristocrat has a serious face and a righteous look

"This..." His Royal Highness was once again speechless. Of course he knew Military Order No. 271, and he would never take a step back. It was issued last time in order to push the cannon fodder troops formed by refugees onto the city wall, which was later called the Decisive Death Order.

When the crusaders outside the city broke through the line of defense and rushed straight towards Palavin, out of despair or madness, the second prince issued this order over the burning city,

The second prince stood on the city’s head and personally wielded a sword to supervise the battle. "We cannot tolerate cowardly behavior and cannot give it any room to survive. Those who do not obey orders and discipline are traitors and must be merciless. Wiped out,

This is the most extreme and horrible method. The second prince used the lives of hundreds of thousands of refugees in Paravin to organize a second line of defense and form one after another new regiments.

Both deserters and trapped prisoners, even the death row prisoners were all given weapons, so that they could plug the gaps in the front.

Many new troops were sent up before the roster was ready. Countless young soldiers died in the battlements of Palavin without even leaving their names. Thinking of the tragic scene, the second prince himself still has lingering fears.

The second prince was silent, and the atmosphere in the carriage seemed a bit cold

The young aristocrat’s gaze flickered, and he might also feel that he was somewhat ruthless, and quickly added, "His Royal Highness, as law enforcers, we can only enforce the law impartially and act in accordance with the law. Of course, your Highness, you can also show favor outside the law. It’s your privilege to issue an amnesty to Collidane."

The second prince squinted his eyes slightly, a little aggravated his tone, and said lightly, "Then, thank you Bok Daqing."

"Don't dare to be, it's an honor to serve your majesty. The officer will go back and give orders." The young nobleman stood up, both of them stopped talking, staring at the scenery passing by the window.

The second prince’s thoughts rolled over, and he thought to himself, "Fairly enforce the law? This guy really underestimated him. The previous stupidity was simply a pretense. Take this Military Order No. 271 as an example, even if all generals are required I was arrested, I’m afraid it’s okay,-those who obey you live, those who oppose you die, do you really treat me like a fool? Not for the sake of your tens of thousands of army, you are a rude fellow. Just beheaded"

At a door, the carriage stopped. The Swadian officer in the uniform of the Guardian Knight stepped forward and opened the door to the carriage, and said with a smile to the two of them, "His Royal Highness, Lord Berkda, and Princess Harodian has a guest. Please give me two more Please wait in the lobby first."

"Oh, Haroldian has a guest?"

The second prince's face was dumbfounded~IndoMTL.com~ subconsciously glanced at the young nobleman next to him, and said in a reproachful tone, "Bukdaqing, you didn't mean that the princess has been unwell all this time," See you no one?"

"This... is indeed the case." The young nobleman's face was embarrassed when asked, and his delicate face covered this chilling coldness."

"How do you protect the princess?" the young nobleman scolded and asked, don't you know that the whole city is catching rebels now? I also gave the order to absolutely protect the safety of the princess. If something goes wrong, you will all go to the funeral

"My lord, it really has nothing to do with us." The guard knight knelt down with horror, and replied with a cry in his voice, "This time, this is the envoy of the Falcon Dynasty." I heard he was here to discuss It’s about the welcoming of the family, so the princess gave us a special case and couldn’t stop us. Now people are in the outer court of the house where the princess lives"

"Why are the envoys of the Falcon Dynasty at this time..."

The young nobleman seemed to think of something, his complexion changed drastically, and there was even a hint of panic between his cold and delicate eyebrows, and he asked, "How long have people been here? How many people have been here?"

"Only one person, all the other entourages have returned," the Swadian Guard Knight replied
