Christmas 1900

The town did not seem to be aware of the tension in Moravia at this time, and it could not be said that it was also bustling with lights, and some of the treasured food at home was taken out to give to neighbors and friends.

But there is another strange thing for the town today, that is, a column of soldiers wearing army green cotton coats began to appear on the streets, for these soldiers, the citizens of the town have no fear, no fear, the only thing is envy. Such a cotton coat should be very warm in winter!

If it weren't for Ernst's refusal to recruit new soldiers, I believe that the town's temporary office would have been crowded, after all, according to the benefits announced by the town's office, one year of joining the army was equivalent to three years of working in the fields.

The soldiers were the most happy, with brand-new military kettles, highly warm military cotton coats, and easy-to-use M1891 Mosin-Nagant rifles...... All of this directly raised Ernst's status in their hearts by more than one notch.

On the streets, when Ernst came to the town, the patrolling soldiers looked at Ernst with great respect and gave a standard military salute.

"There's not much movement in Moravia, but I don't think we can take it lightly, and now that the population of the town has exceeded 1,300, they can't sit back and watch for too long."

Massena was so attached to pharmaceutical companies that he even encouraged Ernst to offend all the Moravian nobility, which brought the town countless wealth and economic connections.

From the very beginning, Ernst was not prepared to compromise with the regional nobles, and if they hindered themselves, then it was not said that they would take the initiative to find trouble, even if they chose to retreat, Ernst would preemptively drive them out of Moravia.

Christmas trees, small gifts, such a bustling street scene reminds Ernst of the Spring Festival in his previous life. It's not long before the Spring Festival! I just don't know what the East was like in 1900, and whether the land under the war was also prosperous and lively?

At the same time the Moravian parliament

The parliamentarians sat quietly in their seats, waiting for the final order of Viscount Ladislav Berland, who could guarantee unimaginable disaster to the town of Ernst.

However, Viscount Ladislav Berland was not as angry as they had imagined, and the silence and calmness made the council hall seem a little depressing.

Half an hour later......

"Viscount Leoš Yanáček, you say that now more than 200 people have left your territory?"

I don't know why, Viscount Leoš Yanáček suddenly felt a little uneasy, but after glancing at the other companions, he stubbornly said: "That's right, the population of the small town of Ernst is now at least 2,000, if you continue to sit back and watch him develop, then you ...... Viscount Ladislav Berland."

"But the news I got is not like this, a new company, it is because of this new company that Ernst does not hesitate to turn against us, but even so, they have certain restrictions on the number of workers they can recruit, and I don't like others to deceive me, Viscount Leoš Yanáček!"

At this time, Viscount Ladislav Berland's face was very serious, which made the already nervous Viscount Leoš Yanáček even speechless, but only opened his mouth to say but could not say anything.

"I understand, you just hope I can help you get justice, spring is coming, you need a large population to sow seeds, but that's not a reason for you to deceive me!"

"Speaker Ladislav Berland ......"

A nobleman tried to speak, but was interrupted by a wave of his hand from Ladislav Berland: "This is only one time, this time Count Ernst has indeed gone too far, and I believe that a small lesson will be taught to him that Moravia is not his own decision." ”

Although he was dissatisfied with the deception of the nobles, he was equally dissatisfied with Ernst's almost provocative behavior, and a small lesson was that Ladislav Berland himself said and was in fact......

Moravian Army Regiment, Command!

"This is the order of Speaker Ladislav Berland, Colonel, take a look!"

Looking at the parliamentary staff in front of him, who was respected by his cousin, Colonel Yankulovsky of the Army Regiment nodded and took the order from his uncle, and he couldn't recognize Jankulovsky at a glance and looked at the staff.

As if knowing what he wanted to ask, the staff nodded without waiting for Jankulovsky to speak, indicating that the contents of the letter were true, and that there was no exaggeration or falsehood in it.

"I need to see my cousin."

"I'm sorry Colonel, but maybe this isn't the right time for you to meet with the councillor."

The staff refused without hesitation, the stakes in this matter were too great, and in order to avoid the final matter also involving Viscount Rossi of Clariki, it was naturally not suitable for the two to meet at this time.

"But then I can't be sure of the authenticity of this letter!"

Jankulovsky didn't back down, but the aide was a clever man, and he knew that this was just an excuse for Jankulovsky, and what he really wanted was to see if he could convince Viscount Ladislav Berland.

Knowing that it was impossible for the other side to compromise, the staff could only accede to Jankulovsky's request to meet with Viscount Ladislav Berland, but when he left, the staff added: "Don't try to convince Speaker Ladislav Berland, Colonel you should understand the character of the Speaker." ”

Oh, yes! Saying what he says will not be reversed, this is a character that Ladislav Boran's cousin has not violated for more than twenty years, and Yankulovsky knows it far better than anyone else.

But how can you not give it a try? After all, in Jankulovsky's heart, he still loved the country, and he didn't want to see his cousin come into conflict with the good-looking Count Ernst.

With this in mind, he went to the Viscount's Palace, but the answer was doomed, and Jankulovsky went with Bo's thoughts, and then returned with a disappointed face.

On Christmas Eve, more than 500 soldiers left the barracks one after another, and their destination was simple and clear...... Destroy everything in the territory of the town of Ernst, including some people who stand in the way.

No one knew that Andrei and his 600 men were already armed, and if they did, Jankulovsky would not have sent only 500 soldiers, and Viscount Ladislav Berland would not have given such an order so recklessly.
