Chapter 166: The Buried Facts
For many years, George believed that it was an army that was needed to conquer a country, but when George had the strongest army in the world, George found that even if he defeated the opponent's army and destroyed the opponent's city, it could not destroy the faith in the opponent's heart.
After Gunning left, George said to the guards, "Go and let Jabad get over here!"
Jabad was very busy during this time, with the expansion and improvement of the institution, the manpower became more and more insufficient, Jabad applied to George several times, but George pushed it off for various reasons, after all, all departments are now short of people!
George pointed at Jabad's nose and scolded, "You big rat, did you have any information to hide from me when you asked you to investigate Milou's defeat?"
Jabad originally thought that George had assigned people to him, but who knew that George had come to ask for guilt!
"Your Majesty, that... Princess... I... ”
"Bastard thing! What are you! I knew there was something going on, although Mi Lu's men only had less than 100,000 horses, most of them were elites, how could you say that you were defeated! You honestly! What benefits did you take from Mi Lu?"
Jabad trembled with fright, although most of the time, George in everyone's eyes is a benevolent monarch, but Jabad got up early to join George's forces, knowing that George's hot hands were ruthless, thinking that George was a man who didn't leave all the killings back then, if George was unhappy, I am afraid that it would be a luxury for him to keep a whole corpse.
"Your Majesty! Attacking rashly, losing most of the elite... Completely annihilated by the front and rear attacks!"
"You bastard! What did you say at the time! You guys teamed up to lie to me!"
"The king, the princess is favored by tens of thousands, and she is in power, I... ”
There was a hint of coldness in George's eyes, and he said, "Jabad! I'm giving you a chance, I don't want you to continue to make mistakes in the future, go down, I don't think you want to become a feast for rats in the gutter!"
Jabad almost peed, wiped the beads of sweat from his face, and stumbled out.
There are too many things in this world that cannot be easily destroyed by oneself! And what is even more terrifying is that those indestructible things will continue to breed and slowly corrode the normal things, is Jabad afraid of Milu? No, is it greedy for money? Not even more! But he is afraid that Milou, as a princess, if his son takes power in the future, then Jabad, who has offended Milou, will not only not live a good life, but will also bring disaster to his descendants...
And what made George even more depressed was the domination of the region south of Budavis!
George remembered his experience and experience in the South, the nobles of the South were all in their own way, not only difficult to control but also in their own way, indifferent to other people and even things and the country, it seems that these are deep-rooted things, even Milu who grew up in Budavis, let alone others.
And if this bad habit is learned by other officials, then the good situation in the Crescent Kingdom will become a flash in the pan.
George leaned back with difficulty, leaned back in his chair, and began to think of ways to cope. See 1 yarn 3 Chinese net
After thinking about it for a long time, George thought about many schemes, but they were all overturned by himself one by one, and in the end, only one last method remained... That is the bloody methods of Terina's rebellion in the northern country, about the rebellion in the northern country, in fact, it is not a simple rebellion in the strict sense, but a massacre, a massacre without any compromise, and after that bloody killing, ninety percent of the nobles in the Drifting Snow Country disappeared, and Terina ruled the Drifting Snow Country steadily.
As long as that's the way ... But George can't do it himself, and there is one more person who can do it, Eliza! Yes! It's her! As long as he gives Eliza the Saiha fortress that he had worked so hard to manage, and compresses Eliza's sphere of influence in the north, he will be able to force Eliza's power to gradually move south.
In fact, Eliza still controls the Golden Dome City, but Eliza's strength is actually in the Xisa Plain, if Eliza owns Saiha Fortress and Meteor City, then the Giant Elephant Kingdom and Eliza will become incompatible! As long as Eliza is constantly pressured to move south, then Eliza will continue to attack the relatively easy to bully Giant Elephant Country!
George collected a lot of details about the White Lion Kingdom and wrote a letter to Terina.
Ten days later, Terina received a letter from George, in which she wrote:
Her Majesty Queen Terina
First of all, I allow me to express my thoughts about my son Daniel, I don't know if my son is okay in the northern country, the child is stubborn, I hope that the queen will teach me carefully, as an ally of the Drifting Snow Country, I not only respect the high priest very much, but also respect Her Majesty even more, and hope to reach more cooperation with Her Majesty in the future.
Then, allow me to express my opinion on the dead, Eliza, the queen of the White Lion Kingdom, who has assassinated me many times, and caused me a great deal of anxiety, so I hate Eliza when I am so disgusted, and I hope that Eliza will be dealt with sooner rather than later.
Finally, I understand the Queen's attitude towards the White Lion Kingdom, and I believe that Her Majesty will have his own decisions and thoughts about the White Lion Kingdom.
But Her Majesty has forgotten one thing, Eliza is directly bordering the Drifting Snow Country, if the White Lion Kingdom becomes bigger, then will Eliza attack the fully armored Giant Elephant Country or the developing Drifting Snow Country? The result speaks for themselves!
Before, I have sent someone to privately conduct a series of investigations and reconnaissance of the White Lion Kingdom, and what can be confirmed is that the White Lion Kingdom has started a new round of reform according to the reform model of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, and after the completion of the reform, the overall strength of the White Lion Kingdom will have a great leap. At that time, will Eliza still submit to the Snowy Country? I'm afraid that the Nuggets City will be taken by Eliza again at that time, right?
Whether it is private interests or national interests, I suggest temporarily putting pressure on the White Lion Kingdom, so that the main force of the White Lion Kingdom can move south and fall into the war with the Giant Elephant Kingdom, and as long as the national strength is constantly consumed, it will be difficult for the White Lion Kingdom to complete the reform, and eventually the national strength will decline, so as to win time and strategic advantages for the development of the Drifting Snow Kingdom!
In order to accomplish this strategic goal, I will cede Saiha Fortress and Meteor City to create a geographical possibility for Eliza's southward migration, and will cooperate with the Snowdrifting Nation to put pressure on Eliza in the north.
To sum up, this will be a major issue that will determine the future development of your two countries, and the biggest beneficiary will be the Drifting Snow Country, so please let Her Majesty decide carefully.
Sincerely, George wishes Her Majesty the Queen good health.
Terlena clutched the letter in her hand, and slandered in her heart! What a crescent king! I thought you were a brute on the battlefield! I didn't expect George to be a scheming person! And this naked conspiracy gave me no reason to refuse!
Even without the information provided by George, Terina's shadow agent has also detected the changes in the White Lion Kingdom, and she must not let Eliza's reform succeed, I thought that Eliza could be her pawn quietly, but I didn't expect her to appoint a virtuous minister to start reforming internal affairs!
Telena has never been to the southern country, and she doesn't know George's far-reaching plans, just from the perspective of benefits and losses, this time the biggest benefit, the lowest risk, and the least contribution is the Drifting Snow Country, although she was used by George as a sword, but Terina can't find a reason to refuse at all! This is simply a big opportunity! It can win a long period of development for the Drifting Snow Country, and after many years, when the Drifting Snow Country becomes stronger, what Crescent Moon Kingdom, White Lion Kingdom, Giant Elephant Kingdom, nothing else! Just hang and beat them casually!
A month later, George waited for Terina's reply, and Terina asked George to send his own troops, and the Drifting Snow Country provided food and grass to prepare to suppress the northern part of the White Lion Kingdom.
In this month's waiting, George was not idle, George set up the Supervision Department, appointed Gu Ning as the governor of the Supervision Department, awarded the earl, set up a separate office, specially supervised and supervised the problems of officials at all levels, and awarded the Gu Ning Crescent Medal, granted Gu Ning great power, even if it is a royal family, Gu Ning has the power to thoroughly investigate and ensure the authority of the Supervision Department.
After the establishment of the Supervision Division, officials at all levels had different reactions, and the biggest reaction was the Meteorite City side, the Supervision Division found a lot of problems in the Falling Star City, and with the cooperation of Jabad, it found a lot of bribery, embezzlement of military funds, and the occupation of the communist industry, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Mi Lu, the governor of Falling Star City.
Although Mi Lu actually embezzled military funds, they were all small money, and they were all returned, but Mi Lu's subordinates were not so clean, and some of them had some problems, Mi Lu also panicked for a while, and began to arrange for the Blood Rose Mage Group to kill some people, so as to be able to demonstrate the various problems of living in Meteor City.
For a while, the Inspectorate was also dumbfounded, many clues were broken, the key people were all wiped out overnight, the hearts of the people in Falling Star City began to fluctuate, and Mi Lu also began a big purge, offering butcher knives to those subordinates who he had cultivated with great difficulty.
George's reaction to Mi Lu was not surprising, this woman was much more clever and ruthless than others in government affairs, Gu Ning was not Mi Lu's opponent, and George's punishment of Mi Lu had just begun, in order to minimize the loss of personnel, George secretly sent an order to Gu Ning, asking Gu Ning to arrest all the capable officials first and bring them back to Ameswaron.
Mi Lu has actually felt that George's attitude towards him has changed, but Mi Lu doesn't want to admit defeat easily, he is a royal family, he has supreme glory, and this is the former land of the Giant Elephant Country, what is wrong with being a little willful? Why does George always not give himself 100% rights!
Moreover, the officials he appointed were all nobles who were familiar with the local situation, although some of them were appointed a little far-fetched, but they were able to rule smoothly, didn't George understand the situation in the Elephant Kingdom? If you want to gain a foothold here, you can't do it without having a good relationship with the locals!
George is more and more worried about Milu, although Milu has repeatedly made mistakes, but George loves Milu deeply, always trying to find a way to achieve Milu's wishes, and constantly sends his support, but Milu is getting farther and farther away from himself, always acting recklessly, and what is even more outrageous is that he actually assassinated many officials in order to evade investigation!
Compared to the undercurrents of the Twin Cities, George felt that the storm set off by Milou was even more terrifying, it was ruining his own career, and once Milou's actions were imitated by other officials, the Crescent Moon Kingdom would be over.
But Mi Lu repeatedly challenged her bottom line, which made George very headache, why couldn't Mi Lu turn back? Could it be that the smart tomboy of the year disappeared? She shouldn't be such a stupid person? What kind of emotions and thoughts made this woman what she is now? Fate!
Knowing that George had taken away a large number of officials, Mi Lu felt a little more relaxed, George had withdrawn most of the officials, was he compromising with himself?
A few days later, Milou privately promoted many local nobles, filled all the vacancies, and with the help of the local nobles, recruited troops and grain, and expanded the city's defenses.
In this big move, the nobles filled their pockets and exploited the commoners, but Mi Lu wore the jewels sent by the nobles one by one in his room, constantly changing his clothes, and admiring the beauties in the bronze mirror.
In June, George personally led a force disguised as a soldier of the Snowdrift Country and began to attack the northern border of the White Lion Kingdom.
The first battle was two small cities near the Golden Dome City, Eliza's troops blocked George's army and were easily broken, but George's troops did not fight a decisive battle with the troops who came to support, as long as they saw reinforcements, George led the troops to retreat, and half a month later, Eliza found that the area near the Golden Dome City was completely controlled by the mysterious troops of the Drifting Snow Country!
What the hell is the Snow Drifter going to do? Why is this happening? Didn't you surrender to the High Priest?
Jia Lie and Ian gave the answer, in the face of the reform of the White Lion Kingdom, the Drifting Snow Country will not be indifferent, so they will send troops to harass and interfere with the reform.
Ian put forward a more constructive suggestion, most of George's troops are stationed in Gale City, Meteorite City, and Budavis, and some time ago there was a confrontation with the Drifting Snow Country, and the Crescent Kingdom has at least 100,000 troops in the north.
As a grain production area, Saiha Fortress and Qingya Fortress have insufficient defensive strength, and the White Lion Kingdom does not have to waste its military strength in the consumption of the Drifting Snow Country, it can abandon Jinding City, rely on the strong defense of Buvilong Fortress, and then concentrate on occupying Saiha Fortress, Qingya City, and Meteorite City.
In this way, the White Lion Kingdom will have a large amount of food production including the Xisa Plain, and the White Lion Knights will have a great restraint on the forces of the Colossus Country, and the Colossus Kingdom will not be able to easily defeat and defeat the White Lion Knights even if it resists, so that the White Lion Kingdom will gain greater benefits.
Eliza analyzed Ian's suggestion in detail and found that she was very clever, she didn't have to spend energy and time entangled with the Snowy Country, she could use the Buvelon Fortress to stop the Snowdrifter Country, and then swallow the territory that George had worked so hard to manage, which was simply a stroke of genius!
Eliza issued a new order, the first one, to promote Ian to the rank of Marquis and Vice-Chancellor.
Then, Jareth was appointed Regent with full responsibility for the internal affairs of the White Lion Kingdom.
Eliza personally led the main force and began to raid the nearest fortress of Saiha.
