Conquest
Chapter 404: [Legendary Woman]
As an alliance group of many warlords in the empire, the Red Round Conference is naturally connected with one another. The attitude of honor and disgrace and common mouth is at least outward.
In fact, this group has always been united. After all, as an individual Tema military region, as an individual, it is impossible to compete with the ancient Byzantine Empire as an ancient empire, and to compete with the royal family alone. For decades, the royal family has been doing everything possible to try to abolish the Tema military district system and use every means to try to weaken the power of the warlord party. Both sides are in the same situation. Under such circumstances, with external oppression, so red Only in this roundtable group can there be survival. Once there is oppression from the outside, cohesion will be generated inside.
Previously, this organization had always beared most of the pressure from the royal family, and the brains of various military regions were mostly soberly aware of their situation. As a separatist warlord in the Tema military area, if he did not fight against the royal family, it would be a dead end.
There is an episode here. Decades ago, the empire encountered a miracle opportunity. At that time, the empire had begun to realize that the Tema military area had become a tumor parasitic on the body of the empire. After becoming aware of the problem, he set about trying to weaken the warlords. At that time, I encountered a rare opportunity. In the brains of many Tema military regions, there was just such a governor. I didn't know whether it was water in his head, or whether this person was truly unselfish or sincere. With the idea of serving the country, he actually accepted the order of abolition of the Central Empire.
The governor had a male soldier in his hand and had materials and supplies. However, under a decree of abolition in the middle of the empire, he really obediently gave up his land and army, stepped down with his entourage, and ran to Emperor Osiri Ya went.
Such a situation, whether at the time or in the eyes of future generations, was a chance given by God to the resurgence of the Byzantine Empire! Because at that time, the throne of the Seal of God, the Tema military region has not really formed a climate, most of the military district governors may not really be against it, and many people have only saved their prosperity and prosperity, or With the idea of existing status, most people do not have the idea of subverting this empire.
It can be said that if we were to cut Fanfan at that time, seizing this opportunity may not make it possible to achieve a major breakthrough!
As long as the empire can take the right strategy after the surrendering governor obediently leaves office, then maybe there is much to be done ... "
But it turned out that the emperor of the empire was a messy egg!
The imperial emperor not only lacked the wisdom and wisdom, but also lacked the mind and courage to be an emperor. After the devoted governor handed over his army to the capital with his followers, the emperor did something that was criticized and ridiculed by posterity for a long time. In order to show the majesty of his imperial power, he could hardly wait. Ordered the Governor's arrest and detention! Then three days later, the unlucky governor was hanged to the execution ground, and all the entourage who followed the governor into Beijing were also hanged!
The emperor seemed to want to use this naive means to show his majesty, thinking that this would threaten the mischievous military district governors.
As a result of such a stupid act, it is naturally impossible to get the result that the emperor expected
The governors of the military districts that were still erratic in their hearts were still watching, and many warlords who did not have any intentions in their hearts were stimulated by this incident!
If the empire at that time could be kind to the devoted governor, to give high officials and generous honors, and to give sufficient favor, even if it just acted like a signboard ... "Then maybe there are many military governors who are not too ambitious Maybe they will follow suit. After all, not everyone has too much ambition.
For most people, having a glorious wealth is enough to comfort the life.
However, after the news that the surrendered governor and all the accompany members were executed, the whole continent shook!
First of all, the governors of other military regions, those who had swayed and hesitated in their hearts, immediately made a decisive decision and did not surrender!
The end is in sight! The guy who gave up the army and the site was arrested and killed as soon as he arrived! At this time, who would do this kind of thing, wouldn't he be trying to kill himself?
Although not everyone has great ambitions, many people just need to be rich.
But ... "Everyone doesn't want to die!
The absurd actions of the emperor cut off the last illusion of the warlords, and even pushed most warlords to stand on the opposite side of the royal family without hesitation! People who didn't want to be turned back can only turn back!
If not, it means death! So, what's the hesitation?
It was at that time, when the first military region suddenly came forward to publicly declare that: in order to strengthen the military armament, the military region no longer pays taxes to the empire central ...
When the first, the leader, made such a move, other military regions followed suit, and even some places began to expel officials appointed by the empire.
Immediately after the throne of the Seal of God, military regions around the country intercepted fiscal taxes that should have been paid to the empire's central government. Immediately, a more serious situation arose: many military regions began to jointly protect themselves. In several military regions bordering the territory, the Governor and the Governor often started secret negotiations, and then agreed on a covenant to advance together and protect themselves.
Soon, small alliances began to appear on the mainland.
At this time, in the face of such chaos, the dim empire once again made a wrong decision!
If it was said that he had executed the devoted governor before because he wanted to show the majesty of the imperial power, then, at this time, things have reached this point. In the eyes of later scholars, the only thing the emperor could do was correct. The way to do it is: Wrong is wrong!
Now that the situation is out of control, let's just be tough! At that time, the national strength of the empire had not weakened to this point. The royal family still held a considerable number of troops, and its fiscal reserves were much stronger than the central Byzantine Empire.
While at that time, since a tough head was opened, it would be better to fight with great vitality, and while the empire is still powerful, immediately start a counter-insurgency war!
Since tough, it's better to be tough!
If that's the case, even if the empire suffers great vitality afterwards and suffers huge war wounds, but ... at least at the time, the strength of the imperial royal family at that time could still suppress those military regions.
But it turned out ... "No!
The ridiculous emperor was actually frightened after being toughened in the face of the resistance of the military regions below.
Obviously, he was just a soft-skinned guy. When it's time to be soft, it's not soft, but when it's time to be tough, he can't be tough.
Facing the aggressive persecution of the Governors everywhere, the Emperor immediately weakened, he had no courage to start a war, and even adopted the default attitude in the face of the Governors' interception of fiscal taxes ... "Fear of war, Fear the strong enemy!
The attitude of the central government of the empire has increased the confidence of the warlords below.
Since that era, the central empire has declined day by day. Originally, if the central government of the empire had made up its mind to rebel, at least there would be capital to fight the war.
However, after the compromise of the soft egg emperor, military regions around the country intercepted fiscal revenues and openly recruited troops to expand their troops. The central government of the empire lost most of its fiscal revenues, gradually weakening, and gradually formed a weak and strong situation.
After that, when the succeeding emperor wanted to make a difference, for example, a figure such as Emperor Cantos, even if he had the heart and the local warlord to slap his wrist, he was powerless.
It was also after that opportunity that the central government of the empire did not seize the rare opportunity and gave it away in vain.
As a result, the attitudes of local warlords became more and more arrogant. In the end, the small alliances in small places in various places gradually became large alliances. Soon after, the Red Round Table Conference was formally established, and the members of the First World Conference included almost half of the military district governors at the time.
After this organization formed a climate, it became the core group against the royal family.
Over the past decades, the interior of the Red Round Conference has been called unity. At least on major issues, it has maintained a consistent external attitude. The interior can also be regarded as the existence of interoperability. For example, the high-quality iron ore and excellent armor weapons and equipment produced in the Armenian Military Region are only supplied to the member military regions of the Round Table when they are being sold, and they even refuse to sell to the Empire Central!
It is precisely because such a group has shown a sincere and united attitude for decades. This time, when the Corsican Military Region was devastated, the escaped governor's son, Gaia, naturally will Hope for help rests on his allies.
When Rì defeated and defeated the city, Gaia was ambushed by Manninger in the field, and escaped by killing a **** path under the protection of a group of dead soldiers.
At that time, he did not return to the city and the army was defeated. Most of the army was dead. Gaia understood that the city would definitely not be able to keep it. He simply did not return.
And he brought people who originally wanted to escape to the east of the military region to reorganize the soldiers and try again, but Manninger's degree was faster than he expected!
Manninger took the city of Corsica in a rush and captured the Governor Carlos, and immediately ordered his surrender.
Gaia was originally the Governor's second son! Although he has served in the army and has some army loyal to him, he is only a second son after all!
All the time, the eldest son Cardoso is fighting for his inheritance! The eldest son is in power and the second son is in the army. This is a weird phenomenon in the Corsica Military Region.
Although Cardoso died mysteriously on the way to the peace talks (killed by Char ’s ambush, and killed), causing Gaia to remove one of the greatest enemies fighting for inheritance.
But after all, when Cardoso was alive, as the governor's eldest son, he was still supported by many people, although most of the supporters were local officials and a small number of local defense forces.
Gaia's supporters are his direct army and the core elite of the Corsica Military Region.
But the problem is that in the battle with the Odin, the main army loyal to Gaia was the most lost! Gaia was ambushed by Manninger and almost lost all his belongings! After the disintegration of his troops, he took a small number of people to the eastern part of the military district to try to rectify the local strength. Those local officials were not too cold for the second son! They were originally centered on the eldest son Cardoso.
There were even secret rumors that Cardoso's death and the Master Gaia were afraid that they could not get in touch.
Under such circumstances, it is conceivable how much appeal Gaia can have.
The Manninger's soldiers immediately advanced to the east, and soon became like a bamboo shoot, conquering towns in the Corsica Military Region.
Gaia and his subordinates couldn't do anything about it. They could only embark on the road of escape again.
This time, they put their hope for help on their allies.
The Besta Military District, located in the southern part of the Corsica Military Region, borders the Corsica Military Region for approximately three hundred miles.
In addition, the land and population of the Besta Military Region passed the Corsica Military Region, and their strength was stronger than that of the Corsica Military Region. The status of the group in the Red Round Table Conference was also higher than that of the Corsica Military Region.
More importantly, the Besta Military Region is a strong supporter of El Salvador, the speaker of the Red Round, and as a firm ally of the speaker, it will naturally receive great preferential treatment.
The Besta Military Region and the Corsica Military Region border each other, and the relationship has always been good. The Corsica Military Region is a grain-producing region. Every year, the Besta Military Region purchases a lot of food from the Corsica side, so both have always been considered close. Ally relationship.
This time the Corsicans suffered a catastrophic disaster, and in desperation, Gaia naturally chose to flee the Besta Military District.
Moreover, the status of the Besta Military District in the alliance is also quite high. Gaia tries to hope that this time, the alliance will come forward to seek justice for itself. Then, come to the Besta Military District for help, and then with the alliance group Getting connections and asking for help is also the intention in the question.
At the beginning, it went smoothly. After at least escaping all the way to the Besta Military District, Gaia and others were treated well.
It wasn't just Governor Yuri of the Besta Military District who greeted Gaia, but also the beautiful Governor's wife.
On the night when he arrived at the Besta Military District Government, a small banquet was held in the Governor's Palace, but the specifications were not low to surprise Gaia. And the specifications should be in accordance with the etiquette of the Governor. In other words, even though the Corsica military region has actually died and Gaia is just the governor's second son, the etiquette displayed by the Besta people seems to default Gaia as the new Corsican governor. identity of.
This settled Gaia a little.
In the following discussion, the Governor Yuri of the Besta Military Region did not participate in the whole process, but only sat for a while and then left because of an excuse. The protagonist who mainly discussed with Gaia and others became that. Glamourous Governor's Lady.
On this point, Gaia and others felt that it was right.
Because on the mainland, not only inside the red round table, but even among the royal family, a joke: There are two governors in the Besta Military District, one outside governor, one inside governor, one male governor and one female governor. , A true governor and a fake governor. The former refers to His Excellency Governor Yuri, while the latter refers to the Governor's wife.
This governor's wife is a heroine. She is extremely clever and intelligent. I heard that Governor Yuri was overwhelmed by her fascination with death. Everything is obedient to her wife. It is the most famous fear on the mainland. Wife's miscellaneous waste. Governor Yuri's talents in all aspects are considered to be modest, and there is nothing extraordinary about it. It seems that he has not done anything in life, but the only thing that is most proud is to marry back such a person. Wife.
The governor's wife is not only beautiful, but she also has admirable wisdom and brain. With her presence, almost all the strategic strategies in the Besta Military District came out of the governor's wife. !! If it was changed elsewhere, how could a woman be in power to convince those officials below? But the governor's wife is really talented and learns, and the means are amazing. After she married Governor Yuri, in these years, the governance of the Besta Military District has been well established and powerful! Hardly anyone up or down was dissatisfied with her, even the arrogant and mighty soldiers in the army, even the Empress Dowager's wife.
Governor Yuri is rumored to be in poor health. He and the governor's wife are old wives and wives. In recent years, the eyes have been spent, and the ears are said to have some backs. Most of the government affairs and things are thrown to his wife. He himself raises them daily. Flowers and birds make you happy.
The Governor's wife is admirable also: Although she is trusted by her husband and has the power of the military area in his hands, in the Besta military area, at least the wife's foreign relatives did not appear! In other words, the governor's wife never reused her maiden family. Her two brothers are still one of today's civilian officials in a small town in the military region, while the other brother runs his own business. Never intervene in the military affairs of the military region.
By not cultivating foreign power, officials in the military region who had been hostile to the governor's wife were greatly relieved. And from the actions of the governor's wife, piece by piece, these years are almost all measures that are beneficial to the development of the military region. They have not made any profit for themselves or their families. . Some people even think that this "fake governor" is almost the best of all the governors of the Bestar Military Region!
It is also the talent of the Governor ’s wife that makes the Besta Military Region more and more powerful, and will have a pivotal position in the Red Round Table Alliance, becoming a firm ally of Speaker El Salvador. Otherwise, if you are too weak If you want to be an ally of others, others may not see you yet.
Of course, the Governor's wife is not without regrets.
In other words, the entire Besta military district is worried about one thing.
Governor Yuri is over fifty years old, but so far there is no one man, half woman, and no heirs.
Of course, this has also become a trouble for the Governor's wife ... but, in fact, no one will blame her.
Because Governor Yuri was extremely romantic when he was young, he had countless lovers. Unfortunately, none of those lovers can give birth to a child for Governor Yuri.
It can be seen that the responsibility of being unable to raise offspring may have come out of the Governor himself, and it has nothing to do with this beautiful lady.
And this act of the lady also won the hearts of the upper and lower men. In order to pray for the gods to bless him to be able to give birth to an heir to the military region, the governor's wife once went to the church to pray for the blessing of the gods and did a personal visit Among the heaviest prayer rituals for blessings and prayers, she closed herself in the prayer hall of the church, praying and worshiping at night, for seven days and seven nights, and passed out several times during the period, even the clergy in the church last They advised the lady to go to rest, but the governor's wife insisted on completing all the rites of worship.
She was seriously ill afterwards, and her whole body lost a few laps.
Although she still could not give birth to a child later, but no one would blame this respectable woman up and down.
Such a governor's wife who has the actual power of the Besta Military District came forward to talk to Gaia and others, but instead convinced Gaia and others of the sincerity of the Besta Military District. If the old and unregulated Governor Yuri came forward in person However, it has to worry about whether the Besta people are dealing with themselves.
At that talk, the Governor of the beautiful Taobao Women ’s Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao ’s Women ’s Winter Jacket m first comforted the disheartened Gaia with a magnificent temperament ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ and then made no secret His words rebuked the Odins for betrayal, and at the same time vowed that the Besta Military District has never given up the tradition of allies. In the face of the allied friends, the Besta Military District will do its utmost to help.
The Governor's wife did not hesitate to agree to the request made by Gaia and others in the hope that the Besta Military Region would support the Corsica Military Region in the alliance, and said that this was a matter of course.
After that, under the arrangement of the Governor ’s wife, Gaia and others lived in the house of Besta. The Governor ’s wife gave them a house that was comfortable and stylish, and also had a Gaia identity. In addition, many servants were sent to serve, and at the same time, they went to visit Gaia in person almost every day, and there was no lack of relief and encouragement in his words.
She also said that she had asked Governor Yuri to personally write a document and submit it to the alliance group outside the city of Osquilia in the fastest way, and strongly advocated that the alliance must stand up in support of the restoration of the Corsican military region, At the same time tough measures were taken against the Odins.
It seems that everything is moving in the best direction envisioned by Gaia et al.
However, all of a sudden, these things suddenly fell out one by one!
