Power and Empire Chapter 715: The decision of the South (3)
715 Southern Decision (3)
Bao Zi’s heartfelt thanks: I voted for 2 monthly tickets for my bookmates; 73132740 voted for 1 monthly ticket;
In the evening in the plains and villages, it is exactly 10 minutes from the setting sun. The dense plains forests are shrouded in golden silence, looking at the mountains covered with sunset clouds in the distance,
Fatty rides a horse across a stone bridge. This is a recessed land leading to the three northern counties. The terrain is not high, but it is the only way to the three northern counties.
Through the woodland in front of you, you can see from a distance the newly built small villages are vaguely distributed among the clusters of woodland, and a silver-broadband-like river extends from the end of the earth,
The pale white smoke lingers in the villages, the air is filled with the fragrance of straw, the shepherds driving the herds home, the merchants passing by with loads of goods, and the creaking carriages are behind the children chasing strums, Cuckoo The bird is in the woods by the river, screaming with a dumb voice, dragging the sound, and thumping towards the distance
Under the golden sunset, the large and small lakes on the plain are like pearls shining with golden light, undulating white waterfowls, ridges shining with golden luster, all the way to the one shining by the sun Until the forest covers the distant mountains,
Make everything look so beautiful, the white waves are rolling on the river, the turbulent water hits the piers of the stone bridge, and the rushing sound comes from time to time
The stone bridge is very simple, but from the railings of the stone bridge, the characteristic bridge drum of the millennium dynasty hundreds of years ago can be seen vaguely, like a small castle shape, with a half-arc fan protruding from the side of the bridge
There are many such antique buildings in the area close to the Paravin Plain. All of them indicate that this was once the center of the mainland and the imperial capital of a thousand-year dynasty, but the wind and rain of the years have already submerged the original prosperity, only this solitary. The stone bridge still stands silently
"Your Majesty, the town ahead is Langu Dika. It's getting late. Let's rest there before leaving." Turit Colleen on the horse pointed to the small town in the distance and said
"Well, it's time to take a good rest." The fat man smiled. He was used to seeing the tragic war in the Paravin Plain, and suddenly saw such a paradise-like scene, which made the fat man feel all the hardships of these three months. It’s all worth it. The death of King Dongting Khan finally brought this tragic war to an end.
The Falcon Dynasty once again proved the strength of the new overlord in this war that defeated the Dongting people and went south to the iron hoof. The impossible Dongting 100,000 army was instantly wiped out by the ashes, letting the Vekya Falcon this continent. The prestige of the first general once again climbed to the peak, but the fat man did not feel anything worthy of excitement and joy. Instead, there was a burst of indifferent sadness in his heart
War is always a terrible double-edged sword. Looking at the tragic situation in the north of Swadian, the fat man is grateful that the place of this war is not Wichia,
The brutality of the Dongting people is inherited from the national style of the Kujites
Direct, extinct and cruel killings are often the best means to deter the enemy and weaken the opponent’s strength. The population growth is slow, and it is difficult to quickly supplement it.
The densely populated northern Swadian region was brutally destroyed in this catastrophe,
The most prosperous area on the mainland is now completely dead. According to Berrant Bonnie’s statistics, before the war, the eight counties in the north of Swadian had a population of about 6.7 million. According to statistics, there are less than 700,000 people, and 80% of the towns along the way have been destroyed by fire.
This battle seems to have gained a lot of benefits from the Falcon Dynasty. Not only did the three northern counties with abundant resources be acquired, but also the 8 northern counties of Swadian in one fell swoop. This is enough to make the Falcon Dynasty worthy of its name. Became the largest country on the Ikadiva continent,
But in fact, there is only the fat man. Under the glory, there are all kinds of terrible whirlpools that devour the kingdom’s finances. For this battle, the Falcon Dynasty spent a lot of money. Nearly 100,000 troops were stationed for 3 months for a long time, and the expenses were spent every day. With more than 100,000 gold coins, the compensation for the war dead and injured also spent a huge amount of 3 million,
The resettlement of 2 million displaced Swadian refugees and the economic revitalization plan of the three northern counties, the nomadic land of the West Kujit moved south, the stability and food relief of the occupied area,
"Money, it's all money." Every time I think of this, the fat man feels heartbroken. The Treasury of the Falcon Dynasty is now in a state of making ends meet,
The business tax collected on a quarterly basis has not yet been collected, and the national treasury has only a foundation of less than 10 million. If it is better in peacetime, but at this moment of throwing money around, it seems a bit dangerous.
Especially the millions of Swadian refugees who have just settled in the three northern counties and the Amela region, if they are not handled properly, they will erupt into an unmanageable mess like the southern Swadian.
Thinking about the millions of refugees who rioted, Fatty feels scalp numb. The entire Falcon dynasty has just exceeded 10 million people. One-tenth of the riots are still such a concentrated outbreak. The disaster of extinction, its impact will destroy the economy and construction work that has just recovered,
Every day, the fat man must carefully inspect the resettlement areas. Every day, the fat man is tired to death, but it is difficult to sleep peacefully. Whether it is with eyes open or closed, it is always difficult to stop in his mind.
Even if there is the special massage technique of the witch Turrit Collin, it can only be a little refreshment. This is too much mental pressure. The fat person must temporarily pull out, otherwise, this depressive feeling will make you depressed. If you talk about relaxation, the three northern counties are naturally not the beautiful scenery. Just check the construction process of the three northern counties
Entering the town, several guards and cavalry accompanying them quickly found a hotel where the location was not enough, and handed the reins of the horse to the guards, and the fat man walked into the hotel,
This is a two-story building shrouded in gloomy twilight, with a rusty red tin roof and dark windows. In front of the gate is a dilapidated little cherry orchard.
There is a crude wood fence around it, it looks dark,
Under the window stood a row of drowsy sunflowers, drooping their heavy heads,
On the left side of the house, a small windmill rattles, this is a very common ornament in Northern County, in order to use that sound to scare off uninvited guests like hares
The layout of the hotel is still not good. The red bonfire is burning in the wall hall on the side of the lobby, and there is a hot soup with scent and scent on it. For long-distance travelers, it is even more impressive than this. Feeling comfortable, this kind of flavor flavored with bone soup is enough to make people mouth-watering
But this sense of tranquility did not last long,
"Catch them"
A fierce noise came from outside the door, and then two figures rushed in eagerly from outside the door, and the huge impact directly knocked out the two crumbling iron doors,
A middle-aged man covered in blood puts a cover behind him, with a long sword in his hand pointing at a dozen people who rushed in from outside the door,
Bright red blood dripped to the ground along the knight sword in his hand. He had a **** wound on his right foot and arm, and his pale face was full of hideous before death.
Like a beast forced into the Jedi, exhausting all its strength to make the final roar
"Well, will it be her?"
The fat man stared at the man behind the middle-aged man and snorted in surprise,
He was the one who was protected by the middle-aged man behind him. It was Tirnuris who met on the mountain road a month ago.
It’s just that at this moment, the first beauty of the Tyre family, known as the red rose of the volcano, looks quite embarrassed. Not to mention the disheveled hair, even the always red dress has been replaced with a very simple robe. The low-end kind, which also caused the fat man to not recognize her first
"Tirnarante, it's useless for you to run. The second prince has issued a chase order, even if you run to Vickia, it's useless." The cries of the encirclement made Fatty's eyebrows jump. ,
"Tirnarante"
Fatty's eyes lit up quickly, like two swords, falling on the blood-covered man in front,
This is an absolutely handsome man, with a jet-black warlord covering his shiny brown forehead, two slender eyebrows, a pair of white eyes with blue and melancholy. The eyes are deep and gentle. There is a kind of expression in his eyes. The sharp light is the person's thoughts and words and deeds, and they are the crystallization of wisdom and thinking
"Tsk Tsk" the fat man sighed with emotion. No wonder this guy is so popular wherever he goes. This good looks is really deceiving. Who would have thought that this handsome guy was actually a top-notch guy. Conspirator
"Your Majesty, it's the wanted criminal in Tirnarante" The guard squadron leader looked at the fat man hesitantly, his hand already holding the hilt of the saber,
Tirnarante is only 7.8 meters away from Fatty. As long as Fatty gives a hint, this guard squadron commander will stab Tirnarante in the back.
"Why are you looking at me?" The fat man snorted dissatisfiedly, and whispered, "I can't save people yet.
"Save...Save people?" The guard squadron's face was stunned. What does your Majesty mean? Isn't Tirnarante always what your Majesty wants to be fast afterwards?
After the fat man whispered: He is dead, don't live, the squadron leader suddenly realized that he took a few of his men and walked slowly to a dozen encirclements
"You guys want to do it." An encirclement who found something was wrong turned his head. He looked at the captain of the guard squadron and several of his men.
"Don't do it, just thinking..." With a wicked smile, the guard squadron captain said faintly. The moment the voice stopped, the sword in his hand was out of its sheath, like a sharp stern. Lightning flashes across the opponent’s throat
"Pouch" a big human head flew up in the air, and a bright red pillar of blood spewed from the headless corpse that was still standing, like a red fountain
"Killing" the other guards all started, and the knives were as bright as snow. These elite fighters who killed people were like cutting vegetables, almost effortlessly like a dozen encirclements hacking to the ground,
The screams of screaming and killing immediately filled the hotel, and the screams appeared to be particularly sorrowful one after another, because they were attacked from behind the encirclement~IndoMTL.com~ Suddenly, the Falcon Guards shot very sharply, not only 3 people were on the spot. After being beheaded, dozens of other people were also opened. The corpses were lying on the ground, blood mixed with internal organs all over the floor. The hotel owner and others dared to hide in a corner shivering.
"Thank you"
Things happened too quickly. The middle-aged man surrounded at this time only realized that these people were here to help him, although it was difficult for him to stand even because of his injuries and blood loss.
But he still insisted on holding the tabletop with his hands, staggering towards the fat man,
The face of Tirnuris hiding behind Tirnarante, just wanted to salute to express her gratitude,
But when the eyes meet the fat man smiling at the corner of his mouth, the look on his face is absolutely wonderful, with surprise, confusion, hesitation, panic, shame, and even a hint of anger
"I'm old, don't say hello?" The fat man sat down with Tirnarante in his hand and winked at Tirnuris, who was horrified.
