The rain fell from the sky, turning into a misty white, and in the distance the mountains and undulating hills and plains to the south were faintly visible, and in late June, the fat man arrived in Kyoto, the former dynasty of Salander.

At this time, Salander has calmed down from the turmoil two years ago, about 300,000 Salanders have returned to their hometown through various means, and about 70,000 Salanders have stayed in Salander forever.

With the strengthening of the Empire's dominance and the rise of the Salanders' sense of identity with the Empire, some small-scale resistance has gradually calmed down.

No matter what kind of psychology the Salander people have, they must accept the fact that the Falcon Empire has become the master of this continent, and even the temple has begun to become much more peaceful after the Holy Maiden ceremony, and the temple that was once high above and was relied on as the spiritual sustenance of the Salander people has become a vine attached to the big tree of the empire, even if the temple priests are full of worries, they can only be buried deep in their hearts, and they will never dare to use it as a topic for after-dinner conversation, because the rule of the empire has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the first saint born from the common people has proved that secular kingship is above divine power

By the light of the wind lamp in the carriage, the fat man lowered his head and flipped through the texts he had received in the past few days, and sure enough, as the information fell into the Gallic Intelligence Department, the entire Gallic Kyoto was in chaos, and no one would believe any nonsense about resting, but the slowdown in the advance of the Falcon Army seemed to prove this possibility, and the Gallic Emperor convened a royal council, although he was not sure the reason for the Falcon Army's slowdown in attack, but he still made the decision to concentrate a qiē force and quickly recover the lost territory in the north,

At the Imperial Council of the Gallic Emperors, the greatest contributor to the Battle of the North was undoubtedly the most conspicuous, and the nobles of Kyoto boasted that he was a peerless hero who saved the empire from the front line, and when he returned to Kyoto from the front, he was among the seventeen wealthy families of Kyoto. For the first time, they all sent representatives to greet them outside the gate of Kyoto.

Even the Gallic Emperor sent a team of Praetorian Guards to escort him into the city gate, behind the majestic Praetorian Guard cavalry, the people of Kyoto saw the influence in their minds, and suddenly the people rejoiced, countless flowers were thrown from both sides of the street to this famous Gallic general, like a rain of petals falling, wearing a general's armor, Jarde's face was a little embarrassed. It is said that the guards who followed behind were able to fill ten wagons just by picking up these flowers.

This is undoubtedly a very honorable thing for a general, but Yard certainly does not think so.

At the Imperial Council of the Battle of the North, he was calm and calm, and was the only one who expressed his opposition to the emperor's suggestion.

Under the gaze of everyone. He pointed to the operational map on the conference table and said, "Advancing north to Shun lì does not mean that the Slavs are vulnerable, in fact, according to my findings, the area that has now been recovered." Most of them were deliberately abandoned by the Slavs, and I had a hunch that the other side had gathered forces from all over the country in this way. The Slavs' counterattack will soon come!" "Lord Yald is so filtered! As more and more regions are recovered, we will only get stronger, in that case. and even less afraid of the Slavs' counterattack" Hearing Yald's words, one of the Gallic generals who attended the meeting stood up and gave a military salute to the emperor on the main seat, and said aloud "Your Excellency seems to have forgotten"

Yard stood up straight and looked at the general, recognizing it as Harun, the Gallic Minister of Intelligence, and couldn't help frowning slightly, as the head of the Intelligence Department, this guy's ability is not ordinarily poor, and now he is even more stupid to say such stupid things!

He explained: "Since the beginning of April, the northern part of the empire has been shrouded in rain and rain! The ground is muddy, and it is not easy to march without saying, and the most terrible thing is that the Slavs have caused widespread destruction in the northern regions, and the once prosperous northern regions have appeared in such rainy days, and many areas have shown signs of harvest, and the areas that the Slavs have taken the initiative to abandon are precisely the areas where these displaced people are breaking out day by day, and the enemy commander is obviously planning something."

"Wanderers! This is still a really tricky question" The faces of the Gallic generals present began to become ugly, once the homeless thing spreads, it will have too strict an impact on the morale of the army, and it will affect the logistics line of the army.

"Do the brave and fearless soldiers of our empire still need to be afraid of the displaced people?" said one of the civil officials opposite the general, "If the displaced people are allowed to form a scale, it will have very severe consequences for the domestic region!

This is a high-ranking nobleman who is over fifty years old and can still be called personable, with slightly gray hair, emaciated cheeks, and a blush on his face that I don't know if it's excitement or the blush brought by the weather, he once served as the first dispatch officer of the empire's internal affairs, deputy minister of internal affairs,

Three months ago, because of the former Minister of the Interior's greed for the military rations of the Merlasti army, the Ministry of the Interior suffered a major purge, the war situation in Rasti was anxious, and the imperial army needed to be uniformly dispatched.

"It's not a matter of fear, it's a matter of guilt and anxiety even if even the most heroic army raises a butcher's knife against its own people on the battlefield."

Yard's expression was stern, and the other generals had a tacit look on their faces, killing their own compatriots, more shame than glory, in this matter, the generals asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up the displaced people in the local area as quickly as possible, and clear the way for the northward advance,

The reply of the Ministry of the Interior was that "it is simply impossible, to appease such a large number of displaced people, it is necessary to consume a large amount of food from the Ministry of the Interior, and at present, the empire has lost the grain-producing areas such as the southwest and Rasti, and the food supply is already very tight, and it is already the limit to ensure the use of front-line operations, and there is no extra strength to take care of those civilians who are like ants."

Siggett's icy voice echoed through the hall, and the meeting fell silent for a moment,

Everyone found themselves standing in front of a strange circle, the northward expansion needs to solve the problem of the displaced people, the solution to the problem of the displaced people needs food, the Ministry of the Interior has no food for the displaced people, so the northward expansion strategy cannot be implemented, in the final analysis, it is just one word, no money! This battle cannot be fought!

"There are so many wealthy families in Kyoto who have a lot of money. There are also powerful regional consuls on the border, and it would be nice if they could all donate a little to the country!" In the silence, I don't know who muttered, and suddenly it was like a drop of water thrown into the oil pot! A heated discussion was formed, and in the end, it was the emperor himself who set an example, taking out 1 million gold coins from the private treasury of the palace, and seeing the emperor's majesty expressing his position, the other wealthy nobles of Kyoto who attended the meeting drooped their heads one by one, you 50,000, he 100,000. It took several days to gather a large amount of money needed to pacify the displaced people. But what about buying so much grain from there?

On the streets of the city of Salander, the fat man put down the report in his hand about the Gallic Imperial Council, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and gently lifted the curtain of the carriage with his hand to look out the window, the bustling crowd, children running and playing in the park, and young couples embracing each other under the crimson trees. A scene of peace, one can't help but feel the forgetfulness of mankind to the destruction caused by the war, and the current Salander people are of course undoubtedly all turned to the Falcon Empire,

After the Falcon Empire stated that it would support the Sky Temple as the state religion. Those Sky Temples that once attacked the Empire. All of them have undergone a great transformation of three hundred and sixty, and they have become people who try their best to praise the merits of the Imperial Army. Although the personalities and behaviors of these templar priests were despicable, the Empire did not interfere in the change of social government. This is only the most common phenomenon, and the empire needs such praise in order to expand its influence among the people. to calm the hearts of the people, although some of the praises make the fat man feel a little numb.

The voices that once opposed the empire are gradually disappearing, some underground rebellions are gradually disintegrating, in the north of Salander, the Salander Dominion of Nilai has given the Salander people a kind of spiritual sustenance, showing a moderate attitude, and the administrative organs of the empire have taken over the administrative affairs of Salander in a comprehensive way, restoring the daily operation of the control area, and at present, in addition to the normal military transfers, the main energy of the southern army of the empire is put on stabilizing the order of the various regions,

The southern governor of Statunko, according to the instructions of the fat man, gradually implemented reforms in Salander, etc., in order to prevent large fluctuations in the northern Saland, after research, the empire acquiesced to the autonomy of these regions, but the premise was that these areas must be attached to the northern Dominion of Nilai and belong to the jurisdiction of the Northern Dominion, such an area accounts for about half of the northern part of Salander, and these areas are mostly mountainous and seafaring,

The carriage entered the Heroes Square in the center of Kyoto in Salander, which should have been very lively at night, but there was no trace of ordinary civilians in the square tonight, only a dozen officers in black uniforms in the dim light, holding the tools in their hands and not knowing what they were measuring, saw the carriage coming, they all hurriedly stood up and saluted.

In order to boost the morale of the Imperial soldiers and civilians, and at the same time show the glorious results of the Empire's march to Obarro, the Fat Man decided to hold a grand military parade in the Heroes Square in Salander Kyoto on July 18, before he went to the grassland to complete the wedding celebration.

"Your Majesty, walk from one end of Heroes' Square to the other, just forty-five steps. Eighty steps per minute, we have repeatedly measured, according to this standard, the time of twenty-five phalanx guò can be controlled within two hours. The officer in charge of organizing the parade cautiously reported to the fat man, who tilted his head and looked at the end of the Heroes' Square, where there was a palace complex, which was the royal palace of the former Salander dynasty, and since the surrender of Salander Kyoto, the royal palace had been unfamiliar as the private property of His Majesty the Falcon

The fat man's eyes narrowed slightly, he had seen a lot of royal palaces, the palace of Vicchia that was burned down in the fire, the majestic palace of Raldian, the palace full of the simple spirit of the Nord people, it is undeniable that the Salander people who are romantic and artistic by nature are not inferior to other nationalities in architecture, the palace of Salander at the end of the square is very large, almost occupying one-fifth of the city, it is definitely a behemoth, claiming to have 3,000 houses, although it is bluffing, but the number of rooms alone is indeed more than a thousand

The fat man slowly walked through the Heroes' Square and came to Salander Kyoto at the gate of the royal palace and paused, he was entering the Salander palace for the first time, so he naturally had to take a look at it curiously. From a distance, the palace of Salander is diverse, with distinctive patterns, majestic, spectacular, and splendid, but when it is really close, it does not feel anything special. The crimson palace wall looks solemn, solemn, and heavy from a distance, but when you put it on it, you can see those places where the paint is peeling, cracked or even dented, and it looks a little old. To be honest, this Salander palace has a history of three hundred years, even if it is repeatedly renovated, it does not take into account so many details, and it is inevitable that it will be dilapidated.

With a heavy and thick sense of historical vicissitudes, although the appearance looks very gorgeous and beautiful, but the bones cannot give people a pleasant feeling, it seems that there is always something lingering in the heart, and it is not comfortable to breathe. Maybe. The people living in this palace are burdened with a lot of pressure and scruples, which have been condensed in the brick walls and palace lamps, and can never be dissipated. "Where is the prince of Salander, Fbayr, now?"

The fat man stopped and asked the entourage behind him, he had been circling in the Salande power supply for ten or twenty minutes, and there was a feeling that things were wrong. As soon as I walked, the long winding road was basically covered with cobwebs and dust, and when I walked here, there was dead silence everywhere, and the breath left by hundreds of years of dynasties was washed away without a trace in just two years.

"Fabaylou had already left Sarande Kyoto, and the entourage officer replied cautiously, "A servant once reported that the prince had changed his name and went to the mainland to become a merchant."

"The prince has become a businessman?" the fat man smiled, his face looked a little regretful, in his impression of Salander, this Prince Fabelius is still a good person, the empire's political structure has been stabilized, and now the empire needs a large number of capable talents to fill the empire's administrative structure,

No, I've been so tired lately, running between the hospital and home, going to work during the day and writing at night, and I'm confused after writing and writing several times...... (To be continued......)
