Chapter 129: True Strength
On June 6, 175 New Calendar, the Byronic Empire issued a proclamation called "Great Unification", and the world war officially ended. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although there are still many forces that have not surrendered, the large, medium and small cities of the New World are already under the control of the Byronic Empire. In other words, the Byronic Empire has achieved its strategic goal and achieved the ultimate victory.
On 1 August, Emperor Mehr issued an order for disarmament. Except for the 840 brigades that are stationed, stationed, garrisoned, and prepared in various places, as well as the 55 Tairong Fairy Legions, the numbers of the rest of the troops will be removed, and the members of the troops will be gradually disbanded according to the arrangements of the empire.
The size of the first disarmament was about 4.3 million people, and before the disarmament, the size of the regular army of the Byrons Empire exceeded 10 million people, in addition to the reserve of more than 5 million people. Before the disarmament order was issued, the reserves had been completely disbanded.
"Zhiheng, go home."
In Meier's office, He Yan Zhiheng looked depressed. Maier wants to let He Yanzhiheng return to the field and go home to live a stable life. He Yan Zhiheng is already in his sixties, and he will be seventy in a few years, but he and Yanmeng don't even have a child. Although He Yan Zhiliang has branched out for He Yan Ruizhi and gave birth to six sons and six daughters, this does not mean that He Yan Zhiheng can have no offspring.
Maier is ready to retire with Yan Zhiheng as a lieutenant general in the regular army. He is the first general from the Heyan family, and he should be in his own vein, so as to continue the military tradition of the Heyan family. Maier wants He Yan Zhiheng to leave offspring while he still has enough energy, so as not to leave regrets.
And Yan Zhiheng didn't want to go home. It's not that he can't give up the position of general, nor is he reluctant to give up the power in his hands, he just is a little reluctant to live in the barracks, and more importantly, he wants to continue to serve Meier.
But now that the world war has ended, the only thing the empire will face next is those old nobles who are delusional about restoration, and they don't know where to hide and plot a rebellion. The conventional war is over, and the empire no longer needs so many troops, at least the newly formed troops, and those units with average combat effectiveness and little success, can be eliminated.
Of course, the Byrons would not abandon the retrenched troops. The occupied areas needed the city defence forces to maintain order, and most of these dismantled regular armies were integrated into the city defence forces. However, the troops that were incorporated into the city defense army were basically troops other than the Taeyong Goblin Legion, and the Taeyong Goblin Legion that was cut was all disbanded on the spot, and the Taeyong Goblins would go to the nearest Taeyong Goblin-controlled area, and the female officers and commanders of the Ilibi in the Legion would return directly to their hometowns and wait for the reward.
For those who have been retrenched in the city defense force, the Byron family will pay them a severance pay and provide them with re-employment training and work placement, and the treatment is very good. Officers and soldiers who have been disabled by war injuries are entitled to a lifetime allowance, and for those who have been completely incapacitated, the Empire has established "Disabled Servicemen's Care Centers", where they will spend the rest of their lives in peace.
It is worth mentioning that the "Center for the Care of Disabled Soldiers" is the predecessor of the "Center for the Life of the Disabled", which was only civilianized by the Empire in March 285 of the new calendar.
Although He Yan Zhiheng's brain is not so good, he can see that the future development direction of the empire is only peace, and there is no big battle to fight. It takes wisdom and wisdom to deal with a cunning traitor, which is precisely the shortcoming of Heyan Zhiheng. In other words, even if he could stay in the army, he wouldn't be able to do anything for Myr.
"But...... But I didn't do anything for you...... I owe you so much ......"
Speaking of this, He Yan Zhiheng choked up, and his voice became hoarse.
"I'm not trying to pay off my debts...... I just wanted to do something for you...... But I couldn't do anything...... What I can do is what everyone can do...... Even without me......"
He Yan Zhiheng's words made Maier's eyes red, he held back his tears, stood up and walked in front of He Yan Zhiheng, and hugged him. At the moment when he was hugged by Maier, tears came out of his eyes. He knew that this was Meier's affirmation of him.
"We're friends." Maier said in a hoarse voice, "Zhiheng, we are friends, and that's enough. ”
Friends and Yan Zhiheng have never been able to understand the precise meaning of the word. Whenever Mel helps him, he feels a sense of inferiority because he really can't achieve anything compared to Myer. But Maier never looked down on him because of this, no matter what trouble he caused with Yan Zhiheng, Maier would help him, and even took over for him.
And Yan Zhiheng knows that everything Maier does is not in return. Of course, there is an element of repaying gratitude to the Heyan family, but more of it is the sincere feelings for Heyan Zhiheng. Many times, he and Yan Zhiheng are thinking, where does this relationship come from? He knew he was a fool, he knew he couldn't figure it out, but he just wanted to know the answer.
At this moment, He Yan Zhiheng suddenly felt that he was really stupid. Friendship may have a reason at the beginning, but it doesn't need a reason after that, because it has become a reason. Maier took care of He Yan Zhiheng in every way because of friendship, and He Yan Zhiheng also wanted to do something for Maier because of friendship, as for how the friendship came about, it didn't matter anymore.
Five minutes passed, and both of them calmed down. Maier patted Yan Zhiheng the back and returned to his seat. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a word from Yan Zhiheng made him almost fall off the chair.
"Mayer, I like birds."
"Huh?"
When your friend tells you that he likes your wife, you're likely to react that way. Mel's reaction made He Yan Zhiheng feel a little funny, and he grinned like he did when he was younger, and continued unhurriedly.
"I used to like her a lot, and maybe I still like her. When you married her, my feelings were very complicated, as if I was relieved, as if I was angry, as if I was jealous, as if I was unwilling, as if I still hated. But now, I suddenly figured it out. Loving someone doesn't have to be her, as long as she's happy, I'm satisfied. ”
And Yan Zhiheng's words made Maier cry and laugh, he sat up straight, and said to him helplessly.
"If you want to open it, it's fine."
"I have one more thing to tell you."
"Say it."
"Xinye and I are together again."
This time, Mel fell straight to the ground, making a loud noise. The guards outside the door immediately opened the door and rushed in, just in time to see Meier clutching his desk and crawling up. Seeing that Maier was safe, Tal motioned for the guards to go out, walked up to He Yan Zhiheng, and whispered to him what had happened.
"It's okay, Tár, I'm just a little frightened." Maier, who got up from the ground, waved his hand at Tal, "You go out first, I have something to talk to Zhiheng alone." ”
Tal bowed respectfully to Maier and left the office. The moment Tar closed the door, Maier stepped directly over the desk, grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against the wall.
"What did you just say?!"
"Uh...... I said I'm with Xinye again. He Yan Zhiheng said embarrassedly, "Actually, it didn't start recently, it started a long time ago...... But don't worry! Xinye will not get pregnant this time! ”
"Who asked you this!"
Maier raised his fist and gestured at Yan Zhiheng's face a few times, but in the end he didn't smash it. He let go of He Yan Zhiheng's collar, turned his back to smooth his breath, and then grabbed his hair anxiously.
"Maier, I want to give Xinye happiness."
He Yan Zhiheng's words made Maier stunned, and he turned his head in shock and looked at He Yan Zhiheng with a determined gaze.
"Are you serious?"
He Yan Zhiheng nodded and said with a serious face.
"Actually, I like Xinye a lot. Although it is not the kind of love that loves, it makes no difference now. We're all getting old, and Xinye needs a home. I can't marry her, so I want to take her into my home and live like a husband and wife and give her a home. ”
"What about Yanmeng?"
"I'll go explain it to her." He Yan Zhiheng smiled bitterly, "This will definitely hurt her, but there is no way to do it." You might beat me up if you say that, I prefer Xinye to Yanmeng, and I don't know why. But I really don't want to hurt Yanmeng, can you help me think of a way? ”
Maier stared at Yan Zhiheng's eyes for a few seconds, and sighed helplessly.
"If I can help you, I will definitely help you. But if you hide Yanmeng for too long, it is impossible for her not to be hurt. So now we can only hope that Yanmeng loves you enough, and is even willing to accept Sister Xinye for you, otherwise it will be useless no matter what we do. ”
In this matter, Maier did not use "you", but "we", which shows that he wants to solve this matter with Yan Zhiheng. But this time, He Yan Zhiheng plans to solve it himself.
"Good luck to me, Mel." He Yan Zhiheng smiled calmly, "No matter what the outcome is, I will move to the countryside to live, preferably in a place where there are few people, where no one recognizes us, so as not to be chewed when they are pregnant." ”
Saying this to Yan Zhiheng is equivalent to accepting Meier's retirement arrangement. The confidence in his words made Maier smile with satisfaction, and Maier knew that from this moment on, he Yan Zhiheng had become truly strong.
I have to say that and Yan Zhiheng is lucky. Yanmeng loves him, loves him to the point where she can accept and talk about the night for him. When she learned the truth, she just cried sadly for half an hour, and then asked her husband, "When are we moving?" ”
At this time, because Yanmeng has been leaving her job for too long, her appearance is no different from that of an ordinary middle-aged woman, and her appearance is definitely far worse than that of her youth. But He Yan Zhiheng suddenly felt that Yanmeng was very beautiful, so beautiful that he couldn't control himself, and directly carried her to bed to the extent of correcting the Fa on the spot.
That day, for the first time, Yanmeng felt satisfied. It was not only physical satisfaction, but also spiritual satisfaction, because her husband had finally fallen in love with her. On August 14, 175 New Calendar, He Yan Zhiheng and Yan Xinye moved from the official residential area to a new town in Byron City and started a new life.
Four years later, Yan Meng became pregnant first and gave birth to a son for He Yanzhiheng. In the second year after He Yan Zhiheng had a son, He Yan Xinye was also pregnant. He Yan Zhiheng and Yan Meng, and Yan Xinye have four sons and four daughters, his sons all work in the Ministry of Defense, and the daughters are all shrine maidens of the new shrine, which is the only branch of the He Yan family that takes the military as the direction of development. This family later produced many generals, although they were not very famous, but they all made a lot of contributions to the empire.
On the 16th of the same month, due to Ramogis's poor health, Dariz was appointed deputy minister of education to assist Ramogis in his work. After the death of Ramogis, Darius took his place. On the 18th, Daisy was transferred to the headquarters of the Ministry of Supervision, and Hine was also ordered to succeed Barton as the chief of police in Byron City.
On September 3, Gray left the Bluestone Palace with Yunxin and returned to the place where he had lived in seclusion. However, this time, the two brought back some Taerong fairy maids, and their mission was to help Gray and Yunxin sort out the long-abandoned hermitage as soon as possible, and to act as a messenger and take care of their lives.
On 3 October, Tal followed Milan's advice and chose a few of the maids of the guards to be his wives. Milan had been his wife until she died, and although she was not the one Tár loved, she was his favorite wife, and there was no one. Although she was unable to bear a child to Tár, Tal took her first son under her name.
Tár's other wives were all encouraged by Milan to marry Tár, and they were all very grateful to Milan, so the wife who gave birth to the child had no objection to Tár's arrangement. So Tar's eldest son, Parmis, has always been called the son of Milan, and he has always considered himself to be the son of Milan.
On November 15, Maier officially announced that Prince Lihart was the crown prince of the Byronic Empire. The day after Mayr's announcement, Crown Prince Hart announced that he would marry Kazuya on February 1 next year.
On February 5, 176 of the new calendar, while the celebration of the crown prince's wedding had not yet passed, the Byrons family and some imperial magnates secretly left Byron and came to the territory of Liangyue City. More than 40 years have passed, but Mel still remembers the way to Big Rabbit Mountain. He didn't know if the big rabbit was still alive, but he still shouted in the mountains.
