Chapter 478: Empire Merger
Blonn City.
In the magnificent and majestic palace, Qin Feng was visiting around, and this time the people who accompanied him, in addition to a group of henchmen and Yun Qijun, there was also a former Fifth Princess, Brunhilde.
At this moment, she has taken off her armor, dressed in a lilac court dress and long skirt, looking bright and moving, elegant and noble, full of heroism, and has an extraordinary attraction to the opposite sex.
With Qin Feng's current cultivation, he can see her bottom at a glance. This princess is now a level 23 swordsman, and her outstanding talent can ensure that she will step into the threshold of a super strong in her lifetime, which shows that the bloodline of the imperial royal family is still quite excellent and outstanding, as for the demigods, it depends on luck.
Of course, Qin Feng just wanted to analyze her strength and potential, not to appreciate her fruit body and see how big her breasts were, how thin her waist was, how white and smooth her skin was, and how slender and straight her legs were.
He told himself with certainty that he really didn't go out of his way to see this, although her figure was indeed very hot and seductive.
"It's a very good place, it's worthy of a great empire that has been inherited for thousands of years." Qin Feng said leisurely.
"It's good, it's a pity that it's just an empty shelf,"
Brunhilde sighed: "Maybe Your Majesty you don't know yet, it's in ...... On the night of the assassination of his father, all the treasures in the imperial palace, as well as the families of the important ministries and nobles in the imperial capital, were all looted by unknown forces, and the group of gods of the God of War Church repeatedly traced for a long time, but failed to find the perpetrator. ”
"So, Your Majesty, although you are now the new master of the entire empire, you will not get much wealth gain, on the contrary...... If you want the administration system to work again, you'll have to pay a lot out of your own pocket. ”
Although the treasury was clean, the attraction of the throne was unmatched. Therefore, after the division of the empire, in order to frantically expand the army and recruit strong people, several princes borrowed on a large scale, borrowing huge sums of money from those big chambers of commerce, big banks, and super organizations at home and abroad, promising to slowly repay them with the future financial taxes of the empire after they won the throne.
This kind of thing is common in the past history, so their requests have been enthusiastically responded to by many large organizations, although the interest rate is relatively high, and the additional terms are more harsh, but as long as they can borrow money, those guys will not care.
As long as you can win this battle for the throne and have the resources of the entire empire, no matter how much debt you have, you can slowly pay off. If you lose, then you will naturally die without a place to be buried, and this debt will not be repaid, and you don't need to think about it at all. No matter how powerful those big organizations are, it's impossible to go to a dead person to collect debts, right?
Qin Feng looked at her with interest: "It seems that you have also borrowed a lot of foreign debts, right?" ”
Brunhilde said calmly: "Yes, cash, materials and equipment, and support for the strong and the like, a total of more than 200,000 magic crystals have been borrowed. Among them, the three organizations of the Colorful Luan Chamber of Commerce, the Phantom Chamber of Commerce, and the Mirage Bank borrowed the most, mainly because the conditions they offered were not too harsh. ”
"Pretty honest,"
Qin Feng smiled: "Then I'm in charge, you don't have to pay off the debts of these three organizations, and as for the rest, I'll help you bear it." ”
Brunhilde's beautiful eyes flickered, and he instantly understood, and said in surprise: "Those three organizations are all the industries of the Star Fir Empire? ”
Qin Feng didn't intend to hide it from her: "To be precise, it is an industry that belongs to the imperial family. ”
“……”
Brunhilde glanced at him with a complicated expression, the years of existence of these three organizations are actually not short, but they have not had a good reputation in the past, and they can barely be regarded as medium-sized forces, but they have only suddenly grown a few years ago and have become one of the top chambers of commerce on the mainland.
Therefore, the outside world speculated that there should be big people or big forces involved in the capital injection, or simply take over the entire thing, which led to their rapid expansion and strengthening, but she didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was Qin Feng.
Since Qin Feng is the founder of the country, and he has never heard of him having brothers or clansmen in close branches, he is the only adult descendant of the royal family of the Xingshan Empire, and all the properties of the royal family are naturally his personal property, and everything can be decided by him.
Therefore, investing resources to rebuild the administrative system of various parts of the empire and restore the ruling order is not a problem for Qin Feng at all, it is nothing more than spending more money.
Thinking of the unreasonable sudden wealth of the Xingshan Empire, there seems to be an endless amount of gold coins and magic crystals in the treasury, and it seems that the rumors from the outside world that His Majesty the Emperor owns a number of giant Mithril mines should be true.
Coupled with the support of a behemoth like the Magic Guild behind it, the Bloman Empire did not lose unjustly when it encountered such a terrible opponent.
The debts owed by the eldest prince Beirusta and the fourth prince Mochi are even more staggering, but this has nothing to do with Qin Feng, he is now receiving the entire Broman Empire as a victor and conqueror, and he has no obligation to repay their debts.
Qin Feng thought for a moment and continued: "You were able to surrender in advance, help me take the complete Bronn City, and also come forward to persuade the great nobles and lords from all over the empire, which is not a small credit. Therefore, I have decided to give you a rich territory of the Grand Duchy, and you can choose whatever you want, and the private army and other rights will be treated with a lot of money. ”
"In the future, you will be the princess of the Star Cedar Empire, and you are eligible to enter the center of the empire, or serve in the army. If you are willing to lead the army, I will give you a full Imperial Praetorian Guard to take charge; If you are willing to participate in politics, I can arrange you a position as an important minister in the ministry, what do you think? ”
Brünnhilde nodded and said: "Very generous conditions, the concubine doesn't like political affairs, so go and lead the troops." ”
Although this is the royal family of the Broman Empire, according to the practice on the mainland, it should be cut down to eliminate future troubles, but Qin Feng is not willing to be the kind of white-eyed wolf who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge and turns his face when he gets benefits, he also has enough ability and confidence to ensure the stability of the empire's future political situation.
His goal is the whole world, and the so-called Bloman Empire is only one of the small goals in this grand goal.
"There's a problem,"
Qin Feng turned his head to stare at her and said, "I plan to merge the two empires into one, and to calm the war in the shortest possible time, so that the situation in this vast territory can be completely stabilized, can you give me any advice?" ”
Although the First World War defeated several princes and the allied forces of the God of War Church, there are still many territories in this empire that have not yet been controlled by Qin Feng, and there are still many lords and nobles in various places who are hesitating and waiting. Moreover, the attitude of the high-level leaders of the God of War Church is still unclear, and it is not yet known whether it will be war or peace next.
Therefore, from Qin Feng's standpoint, he hopes to be able to pocket this empire as soon as possible, creating a fait accompli, and he can easily deal with it when facing the interference of other major forces in the future.
Brünnhilde thought for a moment and said, "The more difficult way is to let your army fight one by one and defeat all the opposing forces, so that no one dares to interfere with you." Of course, this will be more laborious, and it will not be solved in a year or two. ”
"That'...... What about the easier way? ”
"You married me and made me an empress, so as to appease the upper nobility of the former Broman Empire, and the problem is almost solved." Brunhilde said calmly.
After all, she is a member of the royal family with the legal right to inherit, as long as she becomes the queen of the Xingshan Empire, and then comes forward to persuade those noble lords and officials to surrender, it makes sense in law.
It is also not uncommon in the history of the Star World to merge two countries into one because of a successful political marriage, so as to minimize the humiliation and rejection of the fallen country by all classes of the Bloman Empire, so that the two empires can become a solid whole as soon as possible.
Yun Qijun next to her glared at her with some unhappiness, he was Qin Feng's official Taoist couple, and he couldn't fight for a back position, why did this princess who died in the country?
Just think about it, although this world is vast and vast, it is still not the end of itself. In the future, he will leave with Qin Feng again after all, and the position of the queen is just something outside the body, so his heart has become balanced.
Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Okay, then it's decided." ”
No matter how happy he is, in the eyes of the outside world, the Xingshan Empire is inferior to the Bloman Empire, regardless of the land area, the number of troops, the historical heritage and the comprehensive national strength, etc., that is, this time, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Bloman Empire, the relatively weak Xingshan Empire was able to successfully annex this thousand-year-old empire in one fell swoop.
Therefore, within the empire, there are many unconvinced officials and nobles, and in order to avoid complications, it is indeed the most labor-saving and trouble-saving way to set up Princess Brünnhilde as the second queen of the empire.
The matter was settled, and three days later, Qin Feng held a formal canonization ceremony in the palace, and hosted a high-profile banquet for the main nobles of the former Broman Empire, using this way to win people's hearts.
When the news came out, many big forces in the outside world were dumbfounded.
A simple political marriage is nothing, but the strong military strength of the Xingshan Empire has been fully proven in the last war, and the hard power and legitimacy are there, and it is not so easy for outsiders to covet the interests of the Bromanman Empire.
Within a month, lords and nobles from all over the empire had pledged their allegiance to the new imperial government and adopted a cooperative attitude towards the garrisons sent by the Xingshan Empire. And Qin Feng also generously said that he was not to blame in the past, and in the future, they would still be the legitimate nobles of the Xingshan Empire, and they would not reduce their rights and interests by half a point.
In fact, after civil strife, the conquest of the four forces, and Qin Feng's purge, the original aristocratic ruling system of the empire has been gone, and now these people are left to stay, and they will not squeeze too much of the power resources of the new regime.
The fleet loyal to the new Empress Brunhilde, together with the navy of the Xingshan Empire, blocked the coastline of the empire, forced down the fleet loyal to the Great Prince and the Fourth Prince, and then blocked the route between the Xingmeng Continent and the Qingyan Continent to prevent the God of War Church from sending troops to reinforce again.
During this period, there were not without discordant voices, and some unwilling forces secretly instigated some noble lords in various parts of the empire to continue to make trouble, and even sought to rebel and stand on their own.
Qin Feng will no longer be half polite to such a person, no matter how high the other party's level is, he will be suppressed by thunderous means and annihilated by the whole clan! All property in the territory was confiscated.
Within forty days, more than 500 nobles and vassals were eradicated, including more than a dozen grand dukes, more than 40 marquises, and some even ancient nobles that existed when the Bloman Empire was founded.
In the face of a long list of bloody examples, the situation in various places has finally calmed down, and no one dares to be a bird in the first place.
Seeing that there was no longer any chance to use the topic, two months later, the envoy of the God of War Church finally came to the door and asked to meet Qin Feng to hold peace negotiations.
