Chapter 380: The Northwest Incident
Stimulated by the abundant money, the nobles pounced like hungry wolves like Tokugawa, and at the reception dinner held by the military and political envoys of the Northwest County for the inspection group, in addition to all the officials who had arrived, almost all the businessmen did not arrive.
This aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the nobles of the inspection group, who did not care about the local specialties and 10,000 silver presented by Liang Qiming, and the nobles took their guards and went directly to the merchants' mansions to visit, in an attempt to obtain greater benefits. However, the shrewd merchant has long since left home, leaving only a butler-like figure to deal with, much to the disappointment of the nobles.
The unsatisfied nobles turned south to the Northwest County, where the situation was much the same, and in anger, the nobles attacked and cursed the people of the Northwest in the most vicious language in public, calling the people of the Northwest Diao the people, the Gaoyue people as barbarians and beasts, the immigrants as mongrels, and the officials of the Northwest as a bunch of simple-minded, cowardly, and stupid hillbillies, all of which were published on the front page of the Northwest Star on June 24 under the headline "The Noble People from the Imperial Capital Have Their Views on the Northwest". This report was like a little spark that quickly ignited the anger of the people of the Northwest, who had long been extremely dissatisfied with the shameless aristocratic schistosomiasis.
On June 25, thousands of angry people, organized by well-intentioned people, surrounded the post house of the Northwest Prefecture Government and burned the ornate carriages of the nobles. On June 26, large-scale popular demonstrations broke out in both Meishan County and Longdong, with the marchers chanting the slogan "Noble people get out of the northwest!" "Kill the nobles!".
On 27 June, the shape deteriorated further, and a large number of Gaoyue people in the southern part of the northwestern county demanded justice for them, demanding the surrender of the nobles who had slandered them as "barbarian beasts." Otherwise, they will not give up. Immediately afterwards, the Gaoyue people in the eastern part of Beiloulan also organized demonstrations to demand that the nobles must apologize in the media and recognize the equal status of the Gaoyue people.
On June 28, the 3rd Division of the Northwest Army Corps mutinied, and the 3rd Division, which consisted almost entirely of Gaoyue people, expelled the officers of the Great Qin tribe of the 3rd Division. Declaring that he would not accept the management and leadership of the Great Qin Empire, he sent troops to besiege the post house in Tokugawa Prefecture, threatening to wash away the insults they had with the heads and blood of the nobles.
On the same day, the Meishan County Garrison Division (formerly the Northwest County Garrison Division), which was also composed mainly of the Gaoyue people, also mutinied, and also followed the example of the 3rd Division of the Northwest Army, demanding that the nobles pay the price of blood to cleanse them of their insults to the Gaoyue people, and left the garrison without authorization and advanced to Tokugawa territory to apply for reinforcements of the 3rd Division.
The nobles of the Council, who had never encountered such a situation, panicked, and in their eyes they were nothing more than a group of untouchables who dared to rise up against the noble nobles. They did not hesitate to refuse the unreasonable demands of these untouchables, and demanded that the Northwest Department of Internal Affairs take immediate measures to stop it, but they were greatly disappointed by the weakness of the Northwest Department of Internal Affairs.
However, when the news of the mutiny and rebellion of the Gaoyue soldiers of the two divisions reached their ears, they really became nervous, those barbarian soldiers were no better than ordinary people, once they broke out. It will be difficult to control, and most importantly they are army soldiers. All have weapons. Seeing that the local government in the northwest was no longer able to control the current situation, on the one hand, they strongly demanded that other armies in the northwest immediately suppress the mutinous army, and on the other hand, they also continuously sent messengers to return to the imperial capital overnight to report to the emperor, asking the emperor to immediately send troops to suppress the imminent outbreak of riots in the northwest.
For a while, the wind was loud, everyone was in danger, and the northwest shape suddenly became nervous.
Stanley Street, the capital of Kamang, Boudley City. The Prime Minister's Mansion looks particularly magnificent in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The main building of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a grand council chamber, made of gray-white tuff masonry on the outside, the lower two floors are decorated with coupon columns, and the top layer of solid walls is divided by pilasters, and a small window is opened in the center of each bay. Hang a bronze shield with corbels to support the hanging pillar on top.
The interior of the chamber is quite ornately decorated, but it is all flat, and there is no use of voluminous moldings and carvings. The piers and walls are veneered with white, green, red, black and other colored marbles, and the stone grains are undulating like ocean waves. The sail arches and domes are decorated with stained glass mosaics with gold leaf, and at night they can be seen glittering in the dim light.
There were still those people in the big council hall, Gomez, who was as steady as Mount Tai, had a solemn face, his fat body pressed the mahogany chair creaked, the curtain behind him had been opened, and a huge schematic diagram of the surrounding shape of the Kaman Empire was presented in front of everyone, and the various fortresses, passes, towns, mountains, rivers, roads, etc. were clearly displayed one by one, allowing people to see them at a glance.
"Nick, how's your army going?" Gomez's fat cheek muscles twitched.
"Prime Minister, it's ready." Nick still had that aloof look.
"Well, General Miley, where are you?" Gomez's eyes turned to the silver-haired Duke Miley.
"Well, there should be no problem, but I'm worried about whether the storming of Jiayuguan will work?" There was always a faint hint of worry on Miley's face.
"It is inevitable that there will be a certain loss, Jiayu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be described as a one-man pass, ten thousand people are not open, whether it is from south to north or from north to south to attack is quite difficult, but the location of this pass is too important for us, as long as we win this level, I think even if it is worth losing some men and horses." Gomez's eyes showed a decisive glint, "It's a pity that this guy Qin Duan couldn't return to the northwest, otherwise maybe we wouldn't have used this method." ”
"Prime Minister, I think it may be more troublesome if Qin Du returns to the northwest, this guy is cunning and cunning, and he won't be taken lightly, I think it may be more beneficial for us if he is not in the northwest this time, at least don't worry about him colluding with Fielding." Now the situation in the northwest is chaotic, no matter what kind of tricks they have in the middle, but at least they can't be distracted for a while, if they want to take care of this side, I'm afraid it's not a matter of a day or two, if they really want to send troops, I'm afraid they have to answer Qin Dusk to the northwest, and now the emperor of the Great Qin people seems to have a lot of wariness of Qin Dusk, I think it will be difficult for Qin Dui to return to the northwest. ”
Claudia has become the third person in addition to Nick and Miley, who are known as the twin pillars of the Kaman military empire, and this time he will be the main attack on Jiayu Pass. (To be continued......)
