Chapter 282: The Collapse of the Empire (19) The great nobleman Lul continues to deteriorate

Our war of punishment against the Diastic Alliance lasted for one year, and the progress on either battlefield was quite unfavorable during the year, so there were two opinions in the General Palace, one was to let the Diaspora Alliance attack on the Diasica, and the other was to let the Diasica attack the Alliance of the Diaspora.

And as always, the views of the two legislators are very reasonable, and it is difficult for me to choose who should obey the bill, so I can only put this proposal on hold for the time being, hoping to drag out the time to see if the war situation can improve.

As a result, it dragged on for a year, and there was still no turnaround, but some unpleasant cries within the old waterway, such as the petition for lower taxes, became louder and louder, and seeing that it could not be delayed any longer, I had to hold an emergency meeting in the General Assembly Palace again to discuss what to do.

Again, the result was the same, and in the absence of a clear statement as the president, those parliamentarians could not fight for a reason, and they debated for several months, and when they saw that the debate was inconclusive, I had no choice but to let all the members of the General Assembly Palace vote and decide on action based on democratic principles.

After all, the collective responsibility system means that the collective is not responsible, and after the democratic vote, it will be convenient for me to throw off the pot.

As a result of the vote, the option of abandoning the Diaspora League and focusing on Maishika prevailed, and I began to act on this choice.

Of course, before the action, I instructed the peace negotiators to slow down as much as possible, and maybe if they held on a little longer, things would take a turn for the better? So the peace negotiators moved slowly for several months, trying to wait for the turn of the tide of the war, but unfortunately the turnaround did not come until the end of the peace talks in early 1430.

As Governor of the General Palace, I once again signed the Amada Agreement on behalf of Bourbon with Kutumat I, the hateful Confederate Lord of the Diaspora.

In accordance with the Armada Agreement In exchange, the Bourbon Diaspora will have the right to appoint its own bureaucrats, and the Ombudsman sent by Bourbon to the Anima will lose a bunch of powers (which is equivalent to the position almost becoming an ornament), and the appointment of bureaucrats in the rest of the Tenglong Colonial Guard will be given to the Bourbon Expatriate Union, except for Armada and Sweep.

Although the negotiation process dragged on for three years, and did not end until 1430, at least the negotiations were successful, and the troops we withdrew from the Tenglong Colonial Guard could be deployed to fight in Maisica.

In addition, the campaign to aid the radicals in Ingona, from which the radicals have successfully gained independence, is also temporarily over. Despite the insistence on receiving assistance from Bourbon, I have rejected India's request and have drastically reduced aid to India and Security as a way to alleviate the financial crisis.

The thought of having to invest a large amount of troops and a large amount of money in the punishment war made my mood relaxed, since the Bourbon can go all out against Misica, then the next war must be overwhelming, right?

"Knock Knock Knock !!"

At the beginning of February, as I sat in my office at the Palace of the General Assembly working on my papers, I once again heard the familiar alarm bell, and I knew that something must be something bad, so I took a big breath and calmed down, and then pretended to be calm.

"What's the matter this time? Are you being defeated again at Maisika? Do you need more support?" I muttered to myself before entering the alarm bell, trying to guess the alarm bell with the most sinister mentality possible, "Fortunately, a new batch of reinforcements is about to arrive, so no matter how badly you are defeated by Maisica, I am mentally prepared." ”

"Archon, report urgently! Most of the troops of the Tenglong Colonial Guard, after hearing that they were not going back to the old channel to repair but were going to the Myrami Peninsula to continue the battle, mutinied, and even beat the messenger violently! Now they are camping in the field to fight! Please give instructions to the Great Palace immediately!"

"Oh my God, the army mutinied......" Hearing this, I was stunned again, feeling an inexplicable malice from the whole world towards Bourbon.

"Notify all members of parliament to convene an emergency meeting in the General Assembly Palace. "Why am I so proficient in this sentence now?

In another emergency meeting, I discussed the issue of the mutiny in the army with the parliamentarians, and after several days of intense discussions, we set the tone for the handling of the incident.

"After the mutinous army surrenders the mutinous leader to the Great Palace for punishment, the army can get three months of rest without pay, but after three months, it will still have to fight on the battlefield on the Myramie Peninsula. ”

This is a compromise that the General Assembly Palace has reached after several big quarrels, and it is the minimum compromise that the General Assembly Palace can make. "There's no way, because of those ungrateful soldiers, our large-scale strategy plan for Maisica can only be launched in three months or more. ”

Three months passed in a flash, and in between, there was no great counterattack from Maisica, which was peaceful, except for one small thing.

It was a little thing that happened a month ago, when I was on my way from the mansion to work at the General Palace, and found an old man blind and with a broken leg, pleading with a nobleman on the Place de la Meate.

"Noble nobleman, villain, I am a Bourbon citizen from Compo, since 3 years ago, no, since the beginning of the Bourbon War, I have followed the banner of the adults and fought for the glory of Bourbon, and it has been almost 30 years, although I have lost an eye and suffered seven wounds in these 30 years, I have never complained about Bourbon, and I have never been sorry for Bourbon, I have done my best for Bourbon!"

The blind old man was holding the nobleman's thigh, and the nobleman didn't intend to push him away violently at first, so even if he wanted to get rid of the old man, he couldn't get rid of it for a while.

At this time, many people had gathered in the square, watching the conversation between the old man and the nobles in a circle, and unlike usual, the atmosphere at this time was so eeriely silent, looking at the silent crowd, I couldn't help but feel a chill.

"However, I was called away from the beginning of the counterinsurgency in the Southern Passage, and even during the two-year truce in between, I spent time in Dis (one of the only two remaining main cities in the district), never returned home, and after 27 years, I went non-stop to the Tenglong Colonial Guard to fight the expatriates, and even though my leg was disabled in the war, I never flinched as a deserter. ”

"That's because you, a Compo, have nowhere to run in Amada," the nobleman who pushed him away with a little force rebuked angrily, and it was evident that the nobleman who was watched by so many silent beasts felt ashamed and impatient.

But the old man did not answer the nobleman, and continued to talk to himself: "But two years ago, my eldest son and third son were conscripted by you to Armada, and one year ago, my second son and one grandson were also recruited by you to Amada, and counting the three grandsons who have been recruited by you as sailors, the male of our family is empty......! Mine, dead, dead in front of my eyes......"

When he said this, the old man's throat choked, tears flowed down uncontrollably, and there were more or less sobbing voices from the crowd of onlookers.

"Thanks to the grace of the General Assembly Palace, there is a three-month recuperation period this year, but when I went home, I saw that two of the mothers-in-law had starved to death! ”

"It's not that I don't know that the tax increase order of the General Assembly Palace is also for Bourbon, but my family is already in Kangbo, and the accumulation of several tax increase orders has been very exaggerated, and all the men have been withdrawn, so that our family can't live at all!

Hearing the old man's cry, sobs also sounded one after another among the onlookers, who seemed to deeply sympathize with the old man's accusation.

However, the nobleman who was hugged by the old man's thigh didn't think so, and seeing that he couldn't push the old man away by elegant means, the nobleman finally got impatient, and used his spiritual power to knock the old man away with one kick, and knocked down a few onlookers by the way.

Seeing this scene, my heart was furious, and no matter how the nobleman had to speak, I walked straight towards the Great Palace.

It's been a month since this incident, but it's still clearly in my mind, and I remember even every word the old man said clearly, and what makes me furious the most is the silent crowd of onlookers. You know, the usual Meate Square is full of noise, and that day is eerily quiet.

"Whew, it's probably nothing, I think I'm allergic. Don't think about it, because from today onwards, the soldiers' March recuperation period has arrived, and the next important thing in the General Palace is the final conquest of Maisica, and there is no time to think about this mess. ”

"Knock Knock Knock !!"

"Access," I replied calmly before accessing, as always, and at this time I also had a vague experience and feeling in my heart, and every time I felt that I had the capacity to handle, the new alarm bell would always surprise me.

After the conscripts called the army, there was a bloody clash between the two sides, which soon led to a riot in the main city, and the riot is spreading at a very fast speed in the southern district, please give an order to the Great Palace immediately!

I crushed the cup in my hand, and I still didn't feel it when the fragments of the cup cut my hand, and my hands were trembling, rioting!

"Summoning the councillors of the General Palace, and convening an urgent meeting at the General Palace," I snarled after I skillfully conveyed this instruction to the paperwork, and after the paperwork was out, I shredded everything that could be broken in the room.

When I arrived at the General Assembly Palace, before the emergency meeting, I secretly found the elder of the councillor of my family, trembling like a 63-year-old child, and pleaded to the councillor: "I want to take the blame and resign, even if I leave more infamy, it doesn't matter if I leave more infamy, this job is not for me to do." ”

When the elder heard my plea, he rolled his eyes and shouted at me.

"Fool! Do you think that since you insisted on launching a war of punishment and interference three years ago, you can still go down in this position by taking the blame and resigning! If you go down now, leaving this mess, our entire family will be affected by you! When the time comes, see if the family will do a great job to protect you as a waste, or will they stink you to death together with the angry masses!"

With that, the councilor turned and left, leaving me with cold hands and feet.

"The first half of my rose-colored life, and the second half of my life like cold rain, what kind of sin have I created! I should never have been this consul in the first place!"
