Chapter Ninety-Three: The Reformed Governor
Of course, there is no doubt that the two generals are in a mood for the country and the people, but I don't think the work of the two of you is very conflicting. General Nonnor can send men to collect maps of the vicinity, while Alan ...... The governor can also trace the map of the past first, and then have a reference when the official Northern Expedition comes. β
Although the generals ostensibly discussed the same thing, one thing everyone knew was that before the emperor recovered from his illness, only the Sward knight in charge of the Order was the final speaker.
Right now, Sword himself stood up and sludge, and everyone couldn't sweep his face. Although General Nonnuo was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, considering that he was the only "southerner" among the four people present, he temporarily restrained those emotions a little, and after a long snort, he said
"Now that the Grand Master has made up his mind, I can only carry it out. β
Well, General Nong Nuo is such a temper that even if he listens to Don't spare his opinion, he will not say a good word.
As for Alan, his governor's ass was not yet secure, so he naturally had no opinion on Ward's orders. Although Ward's final decision was vaguely biased in favor of Nongnuo, Alan still smiled knowingly.
"The criminal Alan should do his best to make more contributions to the Empire's Northern Expedition. β
The attitude of the two rao made Sword very satisfied, and he paused his gaze for a moment on General Haru, who did not express his position, and finally said:
"Then, before His Majesty the Emperor regains consciousness, let's do our best to prepare for the Northern Expedition. General Nonnuo had to prepare new recruits to ensure that there were enough troops on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition. β
"And Governor Ailan must cooperate with General Haru to maintain the order of the Sea Castle, especially to ensure the reserve of materials. β
On the face of it, the work done by the Sward Knight is indeed very detailed. He knows how to arrange work from many aspects, such as replenishing troops and supporting logistics, and even maintaining stability in the rear, and can also give full play to the strengths of several generals as much as possible.
Regardless of the actual effect, at least Sword himself was still very useful, and there was a bit of a sense of complacency.
"Finally, I will send a few messengers to contact the dukes of the North Sea Kingdom who have not yet greeted the Empire, try to win them over, use what they can, and if they can't, try to ensure their neutrality so that they don't become a burden on the Northern Expedition. β
When a series of personnel transfers were almost properly arranged, the faces of several generals showed a little lack of expression, especially one of the palace guards guarding the camp, after a loud yawn, everyone in the meeting could not help but show a little embarrassed.
Several generals couldn't help but send someone to check the time, but the sentinels who were sent rushed to reply, and the sea castle did not have any molds used to record time, so it was impossible to tell what time it was.
But the soldiers who kept vigil were clever enough to tell the exact time, but they were able to tell the story of the city.
"Generals, when we first entered the city, there were fires burning everywhere in the city, but it was dark at that time, and there was still some light on the ground. But now, with all due respect, adults, only the stars are still shining. β
Sword immediately smiled understandingly, and he got up from the only large chair in the room, and said self-deprecatingly:
"See, even our guards know that if you don't have the nature of stargazing, it's time to sleep. β
The faces of the three generals could not help but show a little tired expression, even for the serf general, who had always been full of energy, the farce that had happened in these two was too much, and from the perspective of obeying orders, he should also seize the time to replenish his energy a little.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the so-called arrangements before His Majesty the Emperor wakes up are just a simple excuse, and it is estimated that these tasks will be completely disrupted when Perris wakes up, and when the time comes, maybe the second will start the Northern Expedition, without a sufficient mental head, but he can't do a big job.
After leaving the commander's room, General Nonnor was the first to take the lead and strode towards the residence of the Southern Corps.
Because of the meritorious service of the Southern Army on the battlefield, they were allowed to use some of the civilian houses as military camps, and the living conditions were naturally a little better than those of the bitter soldiers.
But despite this, General Nonno was still the worst of the generals who lived in it, and even ordinary knights lived in a better environment than Nonno.
This is not that the army deliberately targeted General Nongnuo, but that this in itself was his own will.
"Since I am the commander of the soldiers, I naturally have to live with my own soldiers, otherwise I will be called the commander of the army. β
Such rhetoric was certainly not prevalent in the army of knights, who were most fond of discussing their origins, and the soldiers of the nobility had their own pride.
"What are those crop men, on the battlefield, we are the decisive force, and all the big soldiers have to do is to kill the enemy's sharp spirit on the battlefield. β
"All good commanders should understand a truth, and this is also what the example of the first emperor tells us. 'The so-called peasant soldiers are just consumables like bows and arrows and spears, and it is always our knights of the Great Prussia who can really determine victory. βγ β
Although General Nong Nuo was not convinced by the words of these knights, he could not deny the combat power of the knight army, so he could only hold back his anger in his heart, and over time, he developed his withdrawn character.
In the south, it is said, that he had such a temper that the king of Cyporus even sent him to the emperor's army
Alan had heard about this general in the army for a long time, but his previous status was low, and he had no chance to talk to General Nonnuo at all.
But what he never expected was that General Nonnuo had just stepped out of Grand Master Ward's conference room, and he rushed back to his military camp in such a big stride, and even the gap for him to say a word was blocked.
As for General Haru, who was beside him, he walked unhurriedly and with great energy, without the slightest sleepiness that he had just looked like in the meeting.
The most important task of the Beihai Palace Guards is to keep vigil, how can a guard of this profession, from the first time of service, have one eye open when he takes turns at night, how can he suddenly look listless?
As soon as Alan thought of this, he suddenly felt a little comfort in his heart, okay, at least there is still a "own person" to talk to him.
But just as he was about to lift his feet and walk up, the old man in front of him suddenly seemed to have an eye disease, and he dozed off several times in a row.
Ailan didn't expect that he would be able to hit a soft nail when he talked to his old man, so he had to retract the foot that had just taken a few steps forward.
Having said that, after this coup d'Γ©tat, although he failed to catch the Iron Crown, Ailan also made a lot of money, although the plan ultimately cost the life of the Paroud Knight, but he came to a turnaround.
And the additional goods that came with the victory of this battle, in addition to the position of a governor, and some armed court personnel, there was also a special product.
After this time, no matter what means he used, Alan finally fished back his "lark" and hugged the beauty.
Yes, it was the daughter of King Orlov, a woman as beautiful as the sea.
While Orloff was busy negotiating with Parud, Alan took the opportunity to sneak into the palace and the gold coins that Parud had embezzled from him. It's just that he is not busy making any outstanding contributions to the knight's diplomatic career at this time, but is only buying hearts and minds for himself.
He was far more than a squire resentful of the king.
The attendants of the Beihai Kingdom were originally elites selected from all over Beihai, and in their past system, the royal palace in Beihai was the only way for them to show their skills, and now that they have more choices, they will inevitably have a lot of other thoughts, coupled with the deliberate praise of some religious people, they will form their own in the royal palace of Beihai.
It is said: Reformation.
To come back, the one who has contributed the most to the development of this party should be King Orlov.
If it weren't for his perverse behavior for eight years, and his repeated violent discipline in the palace, these attendants would not necessarily have to overthrow the king of Beihai, abandon the king of Beihai to turn to politics, and return to the empire.
In the past eight years, Orlov has basically developed all the vassals in the Northland into his enemies, except for a few grand dukes who have the same evil intentions as the Reformers, the Beihai Palace has long been infiltrated by the Reformists like a sieve, and even many middle nobles have become the core force of the Reformers.
But despite this, there was still a big problem with the lack of Reformed people in the royal palace.
They don't have a top nobility, they don't have a firm core leader, and they don't want to vote for a grand duke, and they can't advertise someone who can take on the throne.
Forced by reality, they tried to find the unfavored heirs of the dukes, hoping to find a puppet who could barely take the throne in blood, but had no real rights, and use him for their own benefit.
However, it is not without reason that those grand dukes are grand dukes.
Although the inheritors of their wealthy and prestigious families are fighting openly and secretly in private, when it comes to key issues, they can still clearly distinguish the difference between the internal contradictions and external contradictions of the family, and no one is willing to be a puppet easily.
In the end, the Reformed faction searched and searched, still thinking that the heirs of the Orlov family were the easiest to buy.
Anyway, Orlov was originally only a count, and he was just a tyrant in the end, and his sons were not as united as those large families with orderly inheritance.
But even so, the Reformed still did not get the right candidate.
Orlov had a dozen sons in total, and these sons can be roughly divided into the following three personalities:
The first kind of Rao personality is the same as their father, who is a violent person through and through, a scum without the slightest empathy and moral bottom line.
The second kind of person is a soft egg who is soft on his feet after two sentences with a living person, even if he sends the crown to him, he must press his head before he can put it on.
The last kind of people are his illegitimate children. Orlov's four bastards were all of extraordinary prowess and relatively good intelligence, at least as a puppet king.
But they lack the most basic legitimacy, and if they support an illegitimate son to step on the throne, it will not cause fierce resistance from the few barely neutral dukes, and even the empire may not tolerate this kind of play.
Unless the blood of the main family is dead, or there will never be a superior one, which is the most basic political correctness.
Of course, you can't suffocate to urine.
After vetoing one proposal after another, in a claustrophobic meeting of chamberlains in the secret tunnels of the palace, in the face of the still arguing councillors, a boy cleared his throat and said calmly:
"That tyrant of Orlov doesn't just have a son, doesn't he have a daughter?"
The eyes of the councillors widened in the darkness, and the scene fell silent all at once, and the noisy meeting room was once again as quiet as a real dark room. This has not been the case in recent months.
The boy swallowed a mouthful of saliva quietly, his heart was not as calm as the tone of his words, on the contrary, if there was a sea in the boy's heart at this moment, it must be a stormy wave.
Princess Helena was the first name the boy had written down since he entered the kingdom, and if he had to describe how much this girl meant to him, it would be like the only rose on a rocky cliff, blooming in the sea breeze.
Even after many years, Alan can still recall how he felt when the results of the meeting were announced. In my memory, an old man first opened his mouth.
"I agree with the boy that women and men should be equally important to the heir to the throne. β
Lao Rao's voice was not clear, and he spoke as if he had pressed a mouthful of phlegm in his chest, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
If there is one, there will be two, third, and even the last. There was a little doubt and helplessness in some of the words, but at the same time, some people glanced at Ailan, and they were really happy that the princess could become a candidate in their eyes.
In the dark room, there were at least dozens of people involved in the discussion, and the boy had just joined the organization as a "potential newcomer" to observe, but he didn't expect to dominate the order of the conference in the first place.
Everyone
