Chapter 142: The Emperor of the Great Wind Decree
Many people are surprised that the Gale army went crazy when they attacked the fortress of Kassanla, day and night. After the capture, there was no longer a large army that could match Tielik Province, and the full invasion should be a storm of wind, but it has been back and forth for a month, and Tielik Province has still not been captured.
On the second day after Yi Zhengqi led his army to join Mu Zhijing, he received shocking information.
After crossing the fortress of Kassanla, the Gale army invaded large cities, towns, and villages, and they received food and supplies for their garrison. For these gale-laden armies, the beautiful province of Tielik is simply a paradise, full of coveted things.
In the Windy Empire, they sometimes even pick leaves to eat, so they are never picky eaters when it comes to food. After the inhabitants of Tielik Province fled, large tracts of farmland, plants, melons and fruits were taken over by the Gale Army. Most of them were farmers, and with their terrifying ability to adapt, they survived the brink of starvation.
The Gale army was like a giant with hunger and cold, and they stopped to rest for a month without a large-scale attack.
The mighty Gale army is back.
The Emperor of the Great Wind had already set off from the Wind Empire, and the Emperor seemed to have clairvoyance, and the Imperial Decree came the day after the Kasanra Fortress was broken. The imperial decree announced that the people who accepted the surrender of the Far East, as long as they were loyal to the Gale Empire and willing to become slaves for life, would be able to avoid death and have a chance to live. But anyone who dares to resist the Gale army will be killed.
These are no longer in the category of conspiracy, they can be regarded as "yang conspiracy". Gale Emperor Red. Naked exploitation of people's instinct to be greedy for life and afraid of death. If the Gale army never wants to be taken prisoner and killed wherever it passes, then in the end the entire Far Eastern Empire will rebel.
After being taught the savage, cruel methods of the Gale Army, suddenly, people were given a glimmer of hope. Countless people who have seen and heard the horrors of the Gale Army, their hearts will waver. Whether you surrender or not, become a slave or not, at least live.
The Gale Emperor also announced: "This is a war between the Gale Empire and the Far Eastern Empire. Regardless of the other independent nations, anyone who dares to interfere is an enemy of the Gale Empire. The purpose of the Gale Empire is to save the oppressed and impoverished people of the Far Eastern Empire. ”
Although this excuse is so idiotic that even a three-year-old child won't believe it, just rely on half of you guys who don't have shoes to wear to save the Far East?
The Gale Emperor obviously didn't care whether others believed it or not, and continued to announce: "Tielik Province is a free trade area of the Gale Empire, and slaves in the extreme east can be exempted from the death penalty if they hand over their property." You don't have to flee, and those who stay will be considered meritorious and will receive a portion of their original property. ”
Part of it here is not specified.
The Extreme Eastern Empire will not be idle, and His Majesty Kayun is about to scold the Gale Emperor: "Gale Emperor, you shameless bastard." Occupy our land, bully, and kill our subjects in the far east. The sea of blood is a deep feud, and it will be remembered forever for generations. Don't be afraid, don't panic, the time has come for men to make contributions. Listen to His Majesty's oracle, call to take up weapons, and fight our enemies together. ”
"The army of the wind is invincible in the world. The Iron Rider passes, and everything will be powdered except my windy subjects. ”
"Zheng Zheng man, stand up to the sky. In ancient times, there was Yarime, the god of war, who was invincible, and now there are thousands of soldiers with lofty ideals in the far east, and the extreme east will win! ”
For the first time in history, His Majesty and the Senate have reached an uncontroversial point: recruit troops, resist the enemy.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer wailed in front of His Majesty Kayun: "Your Majesty, there is no money, there is no money, there is a deficit, a deficit. I even took out the money for dinner, and you can't afford to expand the army like this. ”
"If you have money, what do I want you to do as Chancellor of the Exchequer? Find a way, next month the empire will form a team of two million recruits! ”
The Chancellor of the Exchequer vomited blood on the spot and fell to the ground.
Regarding the method of money, the senators are still more proactive. They met for three days and three nights, using the old method: "Increase taxes!" ”
The taxes were already heavy, and they tripled as soon as the war with the Gale Empire began, and now they will triple it.
As soon as the tax order came out, the whole country wailed.
"It's not going to let people live."
The Chancellor of the Exchequer stood outside the palace late at night and begged to see you: "Your Majesty, when the war began, consumption fell several times, and inflation occurred. There was not much gold in the treasury, and paper money depreciated. The provinces were affected by the weather, the war, and the harvest was not good. Taxes have reached a tipping point. The 500,000 troops that the Council of Elders expanded last time had already damaged the vitality of the treasury, and the old minister was able to survive through gritting his teeth. But the Empire simply could not afford another massive conscription. ”
"Hmph, the empire is threatened. The people will understand. You can do it without worry! Whoever dares to resist will be killed as an example! ”
Several princes also realized the seriousness of the situation, and also asked for a meeting with them: "Father, the 500,000 'Senate Army' has not yet achieved any success, so it is better to send these 500,000 troops to the expedition first, and postpone the expansion of the new army." ”
"Hmph, how can an army of 500,000 be enough? Let the buns of the Gale Empire look at the lions of my Far East, and crush them with thunder. ”
Mu Zhijing wrote thousands of miles away: "Your Majesty, the elders of the Senate have a large number of private troops, and I ask Your Majesty to recruit them, so that they can be exempted from recruiting recruits and training recruits. ”
"The army division can fight well on the front line, and at present, the prison army has lost one after another, and I really doubt your leadership ability."
With such a good opportunity, there will naturally be no shortage of war profits. Like Yi Zhengqi, taking advantage of a little bit and intimidating is a petty fight.
And the real big spenders were the Wahlan Empire, which had always professed itself to be free trade.
They took the opportunity to resell weapons and equipment, and the price was ten times higher than usual. I'm not afraid that no one wants it, and it's often priceless. Get points. The commander-in-chief of the independent Imperial Forest Army, Mu Hua Tuhui, asked for the black of the provinces. Dao, the public will compete to buy.
At the same time, the Wakhran Empire raised the price of grain, medicines. In the eyes of the merchants of the Wahlan Empire, there were only two kinds of goods, one was "necessities of survival" and the other was "decorations of life". In the second item, the price of imports has been significantly reduced. For example, clothing, silk, ornaments, plants, etc., are so cheap that you can't even get back a tenth of the cost.
I know that the heart of the Wahlan Empire is as black as an ink fountain, but I still have to grit my teeth and sell it. In the "life decoration" industry, a large number of factories have closed down, and groups of unemployed vagrants have been made.
The most terrifying thing is that the Wakhran Empire deliberately rejected the silver tickets of the Far East, and at one time there was a phenomenon of only accepting gold coins.
The Wahlan Empire simply loved the Emperor of the Great Wind to death, and as long as they built a weapon and sold it to the Far Eastern Empire, they could bring back several cartloads of precious silk, tea, and red wine in the Far Eastern Empire.
Yi Zhengqi crumpled the information into a ball, looked at the green faces beside him and the military uniforms on his body, and sighed secretly.
