Chapter 260: What is a real hero?
Donald was born as a commoner, and belonged to the kind of person who relied on his own ability to survive a little bit, and he had been an ignorant until he was thirty years old, and he was very bad, and he was about to eat, and then he was favored by the current governor of Chalmers Province, Jerry, who was idle at home at that time, and then promoted, which changed his fate.
He was born in poverty, he knows the hardships of life and the difficulty of living for the people at the bottom, as a person who rises from the lower class, although he is now considered to eat and drink without worrying about life, but he has always been unaccustomed to that kind of aristocracy...... Especially the kind of aristocratic young master and young lady who eats, drinks and has fun without restraint in the shadow of his father, every time he sees such a person, he is very respectful on the surface, but he always thinks in his heart: "What do you have to be proud of?" Isn't it because you have a good tire? What are you capable of? Will you farm or do you run a business? I don't have any skills, I'm afraid you won't even be able to beg for food, hum, if I throw you on the street, you will have a problem even living, bah, moth, Lao Tzu looks down on you, he looks down on you......"
Now, seeing Duang, he thinks the same thing in his heart.
Especially when he saw the forty carriages behind Duang and the heavy wooden boxes on them, Donald felt even more unhappy, what could such a little nobleman do? Could it be that he earned it himself? Phew, pull it down, it's not his father who gave it or his mother gave it, anyway, it's all the kind of things that come from the wrong way, it's all the people's ointment scavenged from the people, it's not a good thing anyway. Hum...... Why didn't a thunderbolt fall from the sky and kill him, little bastard.
In addition, there is another reason why Donald is unhappy with Duang, that is, because of Duang's age and his current identity.
Now Du Ang's identity is the major general of the Bauhinia Empire, and his position is the temporary deputy commander of the Northwest Army, such an identity can basically go sideways in the entire Chalmers Province, and now Du Ang's age is less than fifteen years old.
In the military ranks of the Bauhinia Empire, there are a total of twenty-six ranks, marshals, generals, generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals...... Duon is now in the fifth positive rank. Because of this, Donald was not convinced, he was now just a school officer, belonging to the tenth-level level, which he had worked through for most of his life, but Du Ang had just entered the official career now, and the level was far above him, this is also a young boy...... Damn, Donald is quite unbalanced in his heart.
Since he was born in the country of the Bauhinia Empire, he must love this country, and Donald has always been like this, he thinks that the current strength of the Bauhinia Empire should have unified the entire St. George continent long ago, how could it be the turn of the barbarians of the Byron Empire to crane their necks and shout? They should be pressed to eat in the hut, and they should be made slaves of the Bauhinia Empire, but the current situation is that the strength of the Bauhinia Empire and the Byron Empire are comparable, and they are evenly matched, and even in some aspects, the Byron Empire still has the upper hand in the confrontation with the Bauhinia Empire and occupies the active position.
Why?
According to Donald's idea, the Bauhinia Empire is very good, and His Majesty Charles XVI, the Emperor of the Bauhinia Empire, is also very good, and the reason why the current situation is caused is because of the current Bauhinia Empire's material system, which is not right!
Three words: the theory of descent.
It's a rubbish-to-the-pound way of taking material.
The children of the nobility, or the nobility. The children of officials, or officials. Big officials give birth to small officials, big nobles give birth to small nobles, no matter whether this child has real talent or not, as long as he has pure blood, he can be an official and a master, and he can have a worry-free life and a splendid future that ordinary people and children from families can not get for a lifetime.
Why?
Why?
Why?
Is it because his level of reincarnation is relatively high?
As a child from an ordinary family, Donald is quite dissatisfied with such a system, and he has always felt that his ability has been suppressed, although the current governor of Chalmers Province, Jerry, is kind to him, but to be honest, in his bones, he does not look down on Governor Jerry very much, and thinks that if he is in the position of governor, he will definitely do a better job than Jerry, but ...... Is this possible? No way, he is not a nobleman, and his ancestors have not been officials, so he can now become a captain of the guards of the Governor's Palace, which is already the best prospect, even if he has great ability and talent, but the blood of the commoners flowing in his veins is destined to make him unable to become a governor in any case, or any other feudal official of the same level.
Therefore, although his current identity and status make many people like him who are ordinary people envious, jealous and hateful, but in Donald's heart, he is very dissatisfied with the current state, he looks down on those nobles who are vegetarian and vegetarian, he feels that under their glamorous appearance, they are all filthy and depraved souls, after stripping off this coat, none of these nobles are good things, or rather, none of them are really capable, Governor Jerry is like this, and this is called Duon? The same is true of the minor nobility of McNus.
Therefore, along the way, Donald's attitude towards Duang is more respectful, less respectful, and cold, but it is precisely because of this that Duang has a good impression of Donald, and thinks that this guard captain is very serious, very professional, not like flattery like ordinary people, and is a decent person...... Well, when there is a chance in the future, I will promote him.
If he knew what Duon was thinking now, I wonder if Donald would have tucked his head into his crotch.
Under the guidance of Donald and his party, Duonzema entered Roland, the capital of the province of Chalmers.
Roland City is not too big, compared with the capitals of those rich provinces in the southeast, as well as the ** of the Bauhinia Empire, this place is like a small deserted county town.
No way, this is the northwest region of the Bauhinia Empire, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is also the most marginal and chaotic place of the Bauhinia Empire, the land here is vast and sparsely populated, and the farmland area cannot be compared with those large agricultural provinces in the southeast, and, especially now, there is news circulating here, maybe it won't be long before the Bauhinia Empire and the Byron Empire will go to war and fight, and this place is the first battlefield that will be washed away by blood and fire, and at that time, the beacon smoke will be swirling, There was carnage and corpses everywhere, and no matter how good things were, they were inevitably devastated by war...... In a word, this place is uninhabitable.
Therefore, during this period of time, there has been a large-scale migration in Roland City, where there are not many people, and many capable people have spare parts to carry the burden, and go to other parts of the Bauhinia Empire to join relatives and friends, and those who have no relatives and friends are also forced to grit their teeth and start a new life of their own in other places, although the hardships are conceivable, but after all, it is alive, and will not stay here, and suddenly a stray arrow flew over, Or they were cut to the ground like cattle by stragglers who came from nowhere, and were killed lightly.
In the troubled times, human life is not as good as dogs, there is no way, as ordinary ordinary people, they are unwilling to leave their hometown to start a new life in a strange place, but in order to survive, they have no choice but to leave.
Now, on the streets of Roland City, there are not many pedestrians to be seen, and most of them are old people who have lived here all their lives and are unwilling to leave, or those who really can't afford to leave, and can only wait here to resign themselves to their fate...... The lives of the aristocratic lords are undoubtedly splendid and gorgeous, their lives are valuable, and their lives are colorful, but that is the life of the aristocratic lords, not these ordinary people, their own surnames and lives are now in danger, who still has the heart to watch the excitement and onlookers?
All the way to the gate of the Governor's Palace, the people Du Ang saw on the street did not exceed twenty people together.
"Here we are, this is the Governor's Mansion of our Chalmers Province!" Donald dismounted, then came to Duon's horse, and saluted respectfully.
"Oh!" Du Ang did not dismount in a hurry, but rode on the horse and looked forward, only to see that this was a mansion with strong northwest characteristics, with white walls and a round dome, the area was very large, it looked a little desolate, and the paint on the outer wall was mottled, and it seemed that no one had taken care of it for a long time.
This is the Governor's Palace for the entire province of Chalmers?
It's so shabby, it's not even as good as the private residence of some small rich people in **.
Alas...... Duang sighed, such a messy year, and this kind of place in the center of the whirlpool, it is already very good to have such a place to live.
Duon took the lead, and everyone dismounted, but after waiting at the door for a long time, they did not see Governor Jerry coming out from inside......
This...... It's a little too much to.
As time passed, Duang's face became more and more ugly.
If Governor Jerry didn't go out of the city to meet him just now, and he can explain it by having urgent business, then now...... I've arrived at his door, why haven't I come out yet? Could it be that he is already so busy with official business that he doesn't even have time to greet him at the door? Relying on your sister, it's too much, isn't this a disgrace for yourself? Isn't this an eye drop for yourself? What's going on? Look at Lao Tzu when you first arrived, you played this game with Lao Tzu, right? Yes! Du Ang thought to himself, don't you come out? Then Lao Tzu will go in by himself, and we will meet in a while, and I will see if you have something to explain to me.
This makes people afraid to meet, I don't believe it, you can still not give me a good explanation in front of me, if you are still so big, then you can't say sorry, although I am not very old, but I am also a high-ranking nobleman of the Bauhinia Empire, a person with status and face, if you are really like this, then let's go to the emperor and say it well, when the time comes, see how you explain, hum, that's not something you don't give me face, at that time, what I represent is not myself, Rather, it represents the face of the entire aristocratic class.
Duang made a plan in his heart, and then let Barbaroa and them take care of the back, and unload the boxes with the coachmen, and Duang will stay here tonight, and the boxes are going to be moved in.
And he himself, together with the Gaian knight, who was already unconvinced, said to Donald: "Let's go, where are your governors?" He has a big face, if you don't come to greet me, don't come to greet me, I'm a junior, go and see him. ”
You know, this is officialdom, not in his own family according to the seniority of seniority, with Du Ang's current identity, even if he is not even ten years old now, Governor Jerry must come out to greet him, because now Du Ang has come all the way, and now he represents the will of His Majesty the Emperor Charles XVI, if you don't welcome Du Ang, you don't welcome the appointment of His Majesty the Emperor Charles XVI, this matter can be small or big, if it really calls Zhen'er, It makes sense that Duang had to bring this big hat of defiance to the emperor to Governor Jerry's head.
Therefore, Du Ang is quite confident in his cynicism now, because now it is not that he is unreasonable, but logically speaking, the reason is on his side, if he has a good relationship with Governor Jerry, for example, the two families are good friends, the elders are a little urgent, and it doesn't matter if they don't come to greet him, who is a junior, but the two families are not like this at all, before that, Du Ang has not even heard the name of this Governor Jerry.
Not to mention any friendship.
Hearing Duang's tone was a little unkind, even the most basic honorifics were useless, and he just said that he was going to Governor Jerry, Donald was also a little unhappy, after all, Duang was a stranger to him, and although Governor Jerry was also a "bullshit" aristocrat, he also had a little bit of affection for Donald. So in his heart, Donald's status is much higher than that of this inexplicable little nobleman, Jerry didn't come out to meet Duon's question, he was ignored by Donald, he only saw Duon's disrespect for Governor Jerry, so Donald secretly scolded in his heart: "This little bastard who doesn't know how to be polite!" ”
However, this kind of thing can only be said silently in his heart, after all, Du Ang's identity is here, and in fact, it is also true that Governor Jerry did not come out to greet Du Ang. Therefore, no matter how unhappy Donald was, he led the way in front, and led the way with Duon and the Gaian knights, towards the inside of the Doge's Palace.
He took Du Ang directly to a very spacious room, Du Ang looked, only to see that the house did not look good on the outside, but inside it was good, carved wooden tables and chairs, placed many handicrafts that looked like they were from the master's hand, on the wall, there were many exquisite weapons for decoration, there were knives, swords, spears, bows and arrows, and the most striking was a huge scimitar in the center.
Duon asked Donald what was going on with this scimitar, as soon as he heard Duang ask this, Donald straightened his chest and said with some pride This scimitar is said to be the great hero of Chalmers Province, which Gulabash once used, back then, he used this scimitar to crisscross the battlefield and cut off countless enemy heads with his own hands, making an indelible contribution to the Bauhinia Empire's inclusion of Chalmers Province into its territory, and it is precisely because of this feat, He was also appointed as the first governor of the province of Chalmers, and he was stationed here until his old age, unlike the governors of most of the provinces now who are civil officials, in those years, the Bauhinia Empire had just been established, the territory was unstable, and the vast majority of the provinces served as governors, all of whom were military generals.
Of course, there is a big problem for a military general to be a governor.
These reckless guys are brave and invincible in the battle on the battlefield, but for things like governing civil affairs, they are not very literate and coarse, and those bits and pieces can make their heads hurt to death.
At that time, many provinces with military generals as governors were a mess of governance, and they became a mess, but in Chalmers Province, it was a different scene, this general Gulabash was also the same illiterate, and he was also the same rude and reckless, but he was most worthy of admiration, that is, he had enough self-knowledge, not to do those things he was not good at, and he was not blindly commanding, he knew that he was not very good at governing civil affairs, so he simply let it go, just hung up a title, And all the rights are handed over to his subordinates who are good at governing civil affairs, and he is very idle every day, fishing, practicing martial arts, shopping, and being very leisurely.
However, don't look at him idle, but because he is so decentralized, let those professional people do professional things, but let the entire Chalmers Province be in a clear state, compared with those chaotic provinces, Chalmers Province is completely a harmonious scene, the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is no big trouble, and all this, with the Gulabash decentralization can not be let go.
The eyes of the common people are bright, although Gulabash is brave and invincible on the battlefield, but these have nothing to do with the common people, and they have not brought him any great reputation, but his decentralization, this self-knowledge, but it really makes the common people appreciate his benefits, respectfully call him the fool governor, and compile documents to record his life's exploits, and call him the hero of the entire Chalmers province.
Hero, not because of how many enemies he has killed, but because he has allowed the common people to have a stable life.
This is what the common people really want. (To be continued.) )
