Chapter 24: The Prince
"Prince?" Sam's face had completely pulled down at this time, and he said indignantly in his heart, "He's just a little kid who uses the name of his royal family to be powerful, and compared to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the prince is like a second ancestor!"
Sam said with some righteous indignation: "When the emperor was not seriously ill, this prince was in charge of military affairs for a period of time, and our life was not as good as it is now, and Donghai County was originally a poor and remote country, and it could not accommodate so many troops at once. ”
"As soon as the prince arrived at the barracks, he didn't care about anything else, and began to pay attention to his appearance every day, and asked those of us who were soldiers to dress neatly and neatly, walk with a smile, and not be sad in ordinary times. ”
"At that time, I was just a small soldier, everyone had food and military salaries for mixed food, but there was no opposition, anyway, they didn't let them fight, just laughed in the barracks, it doesn't matter if this prince is happy, who makes us subordinates!"
"But in the first month of the prince's arrival, he was unable to pay the silver, and it is said that the silver was divided up by the prince and the people near him, and when it came to us, not a single copper coin could be issued. ”
"In the first month, everyone still endured, after all, there was no money, but there was still food to eat, and they could eat three meals a day, on time, although it was just a simple sweet potato oatmeal porridge, but at that time it was very poor, and it was difficult to eat enough. ”
"So, everyone just went on for more than three months, until one day three months later, there was no food in the barracks! Originally, three meals a day became two, and finally it was slowly reduced to one meal, and it was still two people eating one bowl of rice, only a bowl of water and a spoonful of cereal, not even porridge, who can withstand this!"
"In the barracks, it is impossible not to eat for no reason, and when we inquired, we found out that the person in charge of the quartermaster department had changed, and he was directly replaced by the butler of the prince's family!"
"After only more than three months in office, the prince has replaced all the important departments in the army with people close to him, in the words of those ministers, because the prince recognizes life, so what can be called must be acquaintances!"
"The Quartermaster Department was originally a fat poor, but even if there was corruption, it was only petty theft, and it was above board so that everyone could not eat, and it was the first time that everyone had seen such blatant corruption. ”
"I can't bear it if I don't have any money, but I can't eat it!"
"So in less than three days, the soldiers began to stop, and some of them even mutinied!"
"I didn't take part in the mutiny, but I also began to roll up and prepare to go home, and I would rather grow something at home and catch the sea a few more times outside, rather than starve to death in the barracks in the morning. ”
"At that time, the situation was very urgent, and even in the barracks, there were already people who were connected to the Reims Empire, and if one was not handled well, I was afraid that Donghai County would fall, and Austria-Hungary would really fall to the end. ”
"In the end, the prince found that he couldn't hold back, and he didn't dare to report it to the emperor, so he could only go to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
After Her Royal Highness the eldest princess learned the news, she came to the barracks in person, and she told everyone that if she was given a chance to make amends, she would make everyone's lives satisfied. ”
"Frankly speaking, although Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess said so at that time, everyone really had no bottom in their hearts, but Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess had already rescued those relatives who were captured by the Lance Empire for us at that time, so we are willing to believe Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess once. ”
"Sure enough, Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess did not disappoint us, and that night, she mobilized a batch of grain and grass for us to have a full meal. ”
"Then, Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess uprooted all the people who the prince had inserted, and let them spit out all the money!"
Then, Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess prepared the salary overnight, and the next morning all the money owed to everyone was distributed. ”
"As for Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she was directly scolded by Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess and returned home, and it is said that he was imprisoned for more than a month, and those who were guilty were all thrown into prison directly by Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess in accordance with the laws of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!"
"After we learned the result of this treatment, we all felt very happy, and we also felt in our hearts that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is really a good person in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and with Her Royal Highness the princess here, we are all willing to protect Donghai County for her!"
After this matter was over, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess came to the barracks again, and she said that in the future, no matter what, she would not owe everyone any more money, nor would she let the soldiers go hungry, she wanted to let the soldiers eat well, and let the soldiers eat well. ”
"Originally, our requirements were not high, as long as we were full, but not long after, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess began to change the warship into a fishing boat and began to go out to sea to fish, and a large part of the fish caught back became our food, and we poor soldiers can also eat meat!"
"So Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess, she is really a benevolent and generous person, she is not only our great benefactor, but also our great savior, the survival of our Donghai County, and even whether the Austro-Hungarian Empire can restore the country, it all depends on Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess!"
Saying this, Sam's expression gradually softened, originally when he was talking about the prince, there was still a lot of resentment in his heart.
But then when he talked about Princess Lilith, the more he talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more respectful he became.
Lin Yu could feel that what he said was true feelings, and he and Princess Lilith hadn't been together for a long time, but he knew that this princess was indeed a kind person.
He still remembered that the simple princess Lilith was stupid at that time, but she was bluffed by the black prince Edward in a few words, and she did not hesitate to sacrifice herself for the tens of thousands of captives of her country.
Even when she was in the northern forest, she was criticized by the people of the upper elf clan, but she was the only one who spoke up for herself.
Although she looked a little silly and sweet at that time.
Thinking of Princess Lilith's stupid appearance, Lin Yu's mouth unconsciously rose slightly, and he smiled with some pleasure in his heart.
"What a simple woman!" Lin Yu thought to himself.
But Lin Yu's smile of remembrance was all seen by Feng Jasmine, but she just looked at him a few more times silently, and didn't say anything.
And at this time, Mr. Xiao's boat finally arrived.
Feng Xiaojin stood up from the deck at this time, then stretched and said to Sam: "I also know about your business, so next, do you want to go with us, or do you want to go back by yourself?"
