Chapter 425: The Rebellion of the Mu Family II
Kayun XVI was so angry that he coughed again and again, and shouted in pain: "Our royal family has always had absolute trust in the Mu family, and you actually did such a thing without me......
"Father!" The eldest prince had lost his patience, and without the order of Kayun XVI, he stood up all of a sudden, and said hurriedly: "Father, why don't you understand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Now the soldiers of our royal family are bleeding and sweating at the front. Do you know how much we spend on the military every day? Our treasury is empty, and we can't get the money out of the morning. ”
"Bold, if you can't get the money, do you start the idea of the Mu family?"
The eldest prince stubbornly turned your head, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence. From an objective point of view, the war between the Far Eastern Empire and the Gale Empire was like a huge scale. At the beginning, the Great Eastern Crusade of the Twelve Clans, the Gale Beast Soldiers were invincible. Finally, when the Mu family army arrived, a powerful counterattack began. Since then, the Gale Empire has been losing ground one after another. It's a pity that the royal family missed the great opportunity when they were in Tielik Province.
Since then, the war between the two sides has entered a stalemate. At this stage, the orcs are still retreating, but in fact, every day that passes, the chances of the Gale orcs increasing their chances of victory. This is also the reason why the Emperor of the Great Wind is in no hurry to start a large-scale war again. As long as this drags on any longer, the entire Far Eastern Empire will be dragged down alive.
The reason is simple. The huge war expenses overwhelmed the royal family, and this amount was so large that it surprised the royal family. Their armies are being expanded by hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and this expansion is still necessary. Otherwise, they won't be able to compete with the Gale Beasts. For example, the Senate Army, the Protector Army, they consume an astonishing amount of military spending every day. Under this strong pressure, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has changed seven.
Almost the entire empire of the Far East was paralyzed, with thousands of refugees and several provinces losing their due tax revenues. Other provinces that can be controlled are also procrastinating, it's not that they don't want to pay, it's that they really can't pay. Countless civilians, workers, etc., are all unemployed, homeless, waiting for help, sick and starving to death every day. The royal family itself is also festering, and there is no relief at all.
At a time when military spending was staggering, the fiscal deficit was staggering, and the entire Far Eastern Empire was paralyzed, the Wahran Empire pounced like a vampire. This free-trade empire has become the largest creditor of the Far Eastern Empire, and it is estimated that the Far Eastern Empire's tax revenue will not be repaid for the next ten years. The Wahlan Empire also anticipates that your royal family will fall, and you will not be able to pay it back at all. Therefore, the diplomats of the Wakhran Empire issued a statement, which was just two simple words: "Do not borrow!" ”
If only the Wahlan Empire had stood by and watched, but during this war, the Wahlan Empire was almost like a tornado cutting the precious materials and resources within the Far Eastern Empire. The commoners took the gold and exchanged it for a few expired breads with the Wahlan Empire, in order to fill their stomachs.
The royal family was overwhelmed by all kinds of difficulties. So, last time, this vampire recruited his horse herding province and Helen province to run it. The royal family was also red-eyed, and they collapsed the Chaoge Army at once, and "handed over" all the property obtained by the Chaoge Army.
But this situation could not last long, and the royal family could not withstand it. The rich people in various places were stared at by the royal family, but the rich people and nobles in various places were on the same line with the royal family. No matter how much the royal family sucks blood, it is impossible to suck their supporters to death.
I don't know why, the eldest prince suddenly thought of this method and aimed at the Mu family. First, they can regain military power, strangle the largest warlord family in the future, and reorganize the royal family. The second can solve the immediate economic crisis. Who is the richest in the world except for the royal family? Naturally, it is the Mu family. The royal family is still a huge system, but the Mu family is just a few people. If it is a clansman surnamed Mu, the number is no more than a few hundred.
The eldest prince gritted his teeth and said he would do it. He could no longer spend time thinking and planning. Because unlike his opponents, the beast soldiers of the Gale Empire are not paid. Their twelve major races all obeyed the call of the Great Wind Emperor and the Great Wind Witch Temple. They threw themselves into the war for free, and even they had to figure out what they could eat. It's also easy to fool these beast soldiers, because they were originally an invasion, a war of aggression. Therefore, the Emperor of the Great Wind said, "Above, if you win the war, I will give you the territory." If you don't win, don't make noise. ”
The Gale Empire is like this, and the Great Prince has no way at all. If he says to a soldier, "I'm going to pay half of my salary next month." He believes that even insurance companies are afraid to settle bills. Maybe a group of soldiers will disperse that night.
Many people with a heart will compare it, the dignified royal family can't afford to raise soldiers? That Yi Zhengqi is single-handed, he doesn't even have a backstage, he relies on the half-dead Ye family all day long, why can he feed such a huge Chaoge army? The reason is simple. Because the Asaga army is a rebel army. Because Yi Zheng is a traitor!
Will you be a traitor with hundreds of thousands of troops and run out of food? Now the entire horse husbandry province and the eastern wilderness grass sea are easy to collect. The civilians were all shrewd in their hearts: "This is a war criminal, he is a traitor." You won't reason with us, so if you have food, you should hand it over. ”
Yi Zhengqi relied on this powerful and almost scoundrel way of survival to survive. Because here in the Asagaku, civilians have no human rights and no freedom. Civilians won't object either, unless he doesn't want to die. The royal family is not good, a little tax increase will cause a group of people to oppose and demonstrate in the streets, and the senate will even make a noise.
changed to Chao Gejun: "Before eight o'clock tomorrow, pay the grain!" "Civilians will line up overnight to pay food! Of course, Yi Zhengqi's method of dealing with it was not so barbaric, and he would say to the civilians: "The whole area of this place has been contracted by the Chaoge Army." You'll be here tomorrow morning, on time! ”
Yi Zhengqi had no way to see the emperor anyway, so he simply started the "big pot of rice" and became the biggest foreman. The herding horse province and the Eastern Great Wilderness Ranch were all starved, but after following the Chaoge army, there is work to do, and there is food to eat, so let's do it, it is also a hot scene.
In contrast, the most tragic thing is the royal family, and those who shrink back simply want to die.
The eldest prince had all kinds of pressure, and he said: "Father, what is the use of you talking about this now? I was very clean when I handled things, and I didn't let the Mu family notice at all. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. ”
Cayun XVI fainted in this way, so frightened that the eldest prince stood on the spot, and immediately called people after being frightened, fortunately, the person came in time and called the imperial doctor, otherwise, it is estimated that Cayun XVI will ascend to heaven. After that, the eldest prince thought about it and slapped himself twice. I don't know if it's because of the guilt of fainting in the anger of Kayun XVI, or because he shouted the imperial doctor too quickly.
When the eldest prince did this, he was also very scared in his heart. This kind of thing is equivalent to pulling teeth out of the mouth of a tiger, a little careless, one wrong step will be doomed. And in order to do this, he personally ran back to the hidden capital, on the one hand, he had to arrange it himself, and on the other hand, he was afraid that if he was still in Finland, there would be a Mu family army and a supervising army. Once the Mu family notices that there are some signs, will Mu Anchen and Mu Zhijing rush up with two armies? It's better to save your life first.
The eldest prince also knew that this kind of thing could not be covered up for a long time, and his plan was very simple, that is, to kill the old governor Mu first, and then bring Mu Anchen here, and then kill Mu Anchen as well, so that the Mu family would be decomposed, and Mu Zhijing would not be able to kill the left. Because if the Mu family is all killed at once, it will definitely turn the sky upside down.
Leaving Mu Zhijing is for everyone in the world, and this matter is not done by the royal family. The eldest prince has already thought about a strict process, first the rebellious Imperial Forest Army has a grudge, and Mu Huatu wants to win over the old Governor Mu to rebel together. But Governor Mu was dedicated to the royal family and loyal to Kayun XVI, so Governor Mu naturally refused to give in.
In this way, Mu Hua's love was revealed, and he simply became murderous. Because everyone knows that the Mu family is the right-hand man of the royal family, and injuring the vitality of the Mu family first is equivalent to breaking the wings of the royal family. Later, Mu Huatu didn't do anything, and even Mu Anchen was killed.
The eldest prince came out of the grief at this time and came up with all kinds of evidence. Of course, the Great Prince is also ready for these evidences. During the period when Mu Huatu pretended to be obedient, he bribed the main generals around Mu Huatu. It is not good for the eldest prince to lead troops, but if you want to buy a person, this kind of trick of playing power will still be possible.
The evidence will prove that this was done by Mu Huatu. The eldest prince comforted the heartbroken Mu Zhijing, and then let Mu Zhijing take revenge. In this way, Mu Zhijing was busy working with Mu Huatu, so she naturally couldn't take care of it. The eldest prince took the opportunity to take back all the power of the Mu family. At the same time, with Mu Zhijing to deal with Mu Huatu, it is also a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
If such a major event is done well, the royal family can suddenly become a capital with real power and the capital to survive the current crisis.
The eldest prince has now taken the first step, and that is to destroy the old Governor Mu. The first step is to move on to the second step. As long as Mu Anchen is transferred back to Youdu, then Mu Anchen will not be able to leave for the rest of his life, and he has already made up his mind to kill Mu Anchen even if it is an open killing. Even if it is officially exposed, it will also put the name of the collaborator on the enemy.
But what the eldest prince never expected was that in the second step, Mu Anchen was asked to return to the hidden capital, but Mu Anchen did not return. Mu Anchen won't be in the capital, how can this continue?
