General Qian ordered the soldiers to erect the newly developed cannon, and after a fierce bombardment, the bandits wrapped in red scarves suddenly began to scatter birds and beasts, and they all drilled into the mountains and forests, and the bandits who rushed to the heel of the city wall were also smashed into a mass of flesh and mud by the rolling stones. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the first battle can be said to be successful, Qian Zong was about to report to the governor, but he searched all over the city tower, and never saw the figure of the governor, and the governor was gone. The bandits dispersed, the corpses and weapons scattered all over the place, as well as the sedan chair with the statue of Hong Shibai on the top were also thrown in place, the silk material on the sedan chair was ignited by artillery fire, the statue was exposed, and the statue after the smoke and fire suddenly became a black pimple, and then it was loaded and transported back as trophies by the soldiers who rushed out of the city to pursue the bandits. Mr. Qian asked the guards of several other city gates, but there was still no shadow of the governor, and he went to the governor's mansion to inquire, but there was no news. After the generals discussed, they sent several teams of elite men and horses, pretending to be ordinary people, to secretly visit the governor. This matter is unspeakable, and there is only a secret search. For a few days, there was no news. The master next to the governor looked not so anxious and calm, which aroused the suspicion of several generals, but when he asked the master, the old man flatly denied that he knew where the governor was. This strange phenomenon is really difficult for people to fathom.

It is said that Mei Yi, the governor at this time, had already gone out of the city alone, mixed with the retreating bandits, and went all the way into the forest. While retreating, he disguised himself, his hair was scattered, wrapped in the red turban he had picked up, and smeared the blood on the corpse, pretending to be a member of the retreating bandits, wanting to infiltrate Hong Shiba's bandits and see what was going on. Listening to Mr. Qian, this bandit after Hong Eighteen gave armor will have pimples of varying heights on his body, and his skin seems to have become hard, which made Mei Yi think of something, and he decided to see what was going on at that time. Sending others to infiltrate, first, may not be able to see what Mei Yi wants to know, and second, Mei Yi doesn't want to call others to make peace at all. As the bandits ran wildly all the way, the speed slowly dropped after entering the mountain. The gang of bandits didn't seem to have any sense of defeat, and they laughed and cursed, as if the dead had nothing to do with them. This is good, it shows that these bandits do not have too deep understanding and communication with each other, Mei Yi is relieved, it seems that this infiltration should be relatively smooth. The bandits shuffled and rested for a while, and returned to their lair after a night, that is, the local camp after the regimental camp.

This so-called battalion is just a relatively large cave in the mountains dozens of miles outside Hezhou City, and choosing the cave as a nest is really done by bandits. When you enter the cave, you feel cool and comfortable, but the more you go inside, the damp it gets, and the lower the terrain of this cave is, probably close to the water source, and it naturally gets wet. After reaching one place, most of the bandits began to stop to rest, and old and weak children emerged from the slightly smaller hole next to them, apparently to welcome them back to their division. The few in the group continued to walk towards the lower ground ahead. Mei Yi unconsciously wanted to keep up and take a look, but was dragged by a man of the same age beside him. The other party asked, are you crazy, it's not a place for us to stay. Mei Yi pretended to come to his senses, agreed again and again, and stopped, but still looked at the depths of the cave that was illuminated by the flickering lights for a while. The man just now leaned the red tassel gun in his hand against the cave wall, approached Mei Yi, and said, don't look at it, you can't get in. Mei Yi turned around and struck up a conversation with the man.

According to the man's statement, there are already bandits in Hezhou. Because the local land is scarce, the cultivated land cannot support many people, so many people rely on helping merchants to transfer goods, and some people naturally do the work of cutting paths in the rugged and eighteen bends of the mountains. There are even some people who have a job to sell coolies for transportation, and those who don't have a job are a cutter. In the past ten years, I heard that the shipping in the southeast has gradually flourished, and there is less work to transport goods through Hezhou to the north, and many people have no way to live, and they have begun to become bandits, attacking the rich families in the city or the countryside. After this Hong 18 became the leader, many bandits were combined into a single force, and their strength increased greatly, and they began to make up their minds towards Hezhou City. After talking for a long time, Mei Yi didn't hear what this had to do with what he just said, and couldn't help but look over there again. The man on the other side said, you don't have to look at it, if you can't become the apprentice of the eighteenth leader of Hong, don't think about going into the depths of the cave. Mei Yi asked how to become the leader's apprentice, and the man rolled his eyes and said that it depends on talent, for example, I don't have it, so I can only live as a little minion.

Hawkins' suicide by hanging can be considered an incident, but it is by no means a major event. Father Wells quickly found a new candidate for the Order. Although Locke is not the majority leader in Parliament, if the organization is willing to help him, just like the organization helped Hawkins back then, Locke will quickly become the person in that important position. More importantly, as a member of the Order, Locke's bloodline is much purer than Hawkins's, that is, he is closer to the core bloodline than Hawkins. At the secret underground base, the organization demanded that Locke accept the task of taking over Hawkins unconditionally, and another prime minister created by the group was about to be born. He will help the Order to reverse the decline it is currently facing, and re-establish the Order's confidence in the Empire's control. Wells was busy with the authorization ceremony for Locke, and he had to set sail non-stop, and the recent secret search had finally progressed, and the traces of God's last visit to Earth had surfaced on its own.

Ever since the last time God didn't show up on time as agreed with the group's higher-ups, the group has been secretly trying to get in touch with God or find God's whereabouts. Much of this work was done by Wells through meditation during meditation with a few dying core lineage heirs. Although Wells is the core of the group, his bloodline is not very pure. In fact, there are very few members of the group today who have a very pure bloodline. After several days and nights of intensive meditation, the successors finally came to the conclusion that God was on the way, but did not know when he would arrive. Wells could only mobilize the members of the group, from top to bottom, within the confines of the empire. In the past few months, the results of nothing, can not be called Wells willing, or can not be called the group's top management willing, the search continues.

When the day of the hurricane hit the Breez Islands again, Wells received news from the then living former Prime Minister that a fisherman had spotted something strange near the coast. The typhoon sent these strange things to the coast, and when the wind subsided, the strange things fell on the beach, and the frightened fisherman told his wife to report it to the local government officials, who reported it layer by layer, and finally to Hawkins. Wells sent members of the group to secretly retrieve the strange thing. This irregular object has traces of smoke and fire, and in some places it has the color of tile blue and wa. The lineage inheritor then meditated on the flattened object and recognized it as the seat of the gods. Wells and the others couldn't figure out why God's car was on the beach, and even after a careful investigation of the beach, they couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until a few words from the oldest lineage inheritor in the group when he was dying that people's doubts were somewhat solved. The old man told Wells that God might never come again, and Wells hurriedly asked why, and the old man said that he felt that God would not come. It's not coming, and it's not coming. Wells thought about it for a long time and came up with a new solution. Through the new Prime Minister, he recruited several high-level meteorologists from the Royal Society of Science.

When Curris agreed to Frans' proposal to unite against Bules, he knew that Frans would definitely have a request after the end of the war, and it had nothing to do with whether Curris could defeat Blûs. Sure enough, before the defeated soldiers of Blees could all be withdrawn, Pierre of Frans sent the papers to Curris's desk. The terms of this document are very polite, the first of which is based on a map. Frans proposed that the land in the northern part of the Emerik continent connecting Frans's several territories be allocated to Frans as a reward for Frans helping Curris become independent. Curris looked at the map, threw the quill on the table, and said to the messenger of Frans, who was still waiting for a reply, that the decision would take time to consider, and he told the messenger to go down and rest first. Curris looked at the representatives of a dozen or so realms, and decided that if he agreed to Frans's terms, it would be equivalent to the newly obtained independence from Brees, and once again lost to the Frans Empire. Moreover, the land that Frans demanded was the most fertile in the north, including several of the most economically developed towns. Frans had such a big appetite that they were so greedy that Curris decided to turn them down.

Before Warman had returned to the manor with the armistice memorandum signed with the Marshal of Breez and the Field Marshal, he was met by the Frans messenger who hurried away with an angry face. As he passed, the Frans messenger glared fiercely at Warman, and squeezed a few words out of his teeth, Your war will continue. Warman was confused, and it wasn't until he returned to the manor that he learned what had happened. Curris asked Warman, who expressed full support for Curris's decision. Curris and the delegates said he knew what the rejection meant, but that the creation of the new nation was unstoppable. His full confidence infected the deputies, and everyone raised their fists and shouted slogans for the founding of the country. In the days that followed, Curris and the delegates discussed the future basic governing body of the state, and was unsurprisingly elected as the new head of state, the president. Warman became Curris's aide and was called Secretary of State. The founding ceremony of the new nation was very simple, and it was only after the election results were announced at the estate of Curris that the ceremony was completed, and a young nation, the United States of Amerik, was formed.

Frans's fleet returned, Breth's fleet returned with its disgraced army soldiers, and the continent of Emmeric returned to its former peace. After arranging the work, Kuris, the newly appointed Secretary of State Warman, led the sturdy soldiers who had been brought back from the mountains to embark on an expedition to the western part of the continent. Of course, there was another purpose, that is, with this expedition, Curris could ask Warman to tell the story of his last voyage in detail, which of course could not be done in the case of the town being pestered by many officials, big and small, every day. Warman knew what his boss and friend was thinking, and after a little preparation, he set off with Curris.

It was no surprise that Locke took over as Prime Minister of the Empire, not only for the people of the Collective, but also for ordinary subjects of the Empire. Unlike Hawkins, Locke came from a generational aristocratic family, and was not yet twenty-two years old when he took over from his elders. It is more than ten years of parliamentary experience, which is enough to make this top student of Norton College an excellent politician. Locke, who had just taken office, did not completely change the initiatives of his predecessor, but strengthened a large part of them. For example, we will continue to reward inventors who continue to research and innovate machines in the field of production, and encourage the Royal Academy of Sciences to admit more scientists to join us, so as to continue to promote the development of the textile industry in Villes. But that's not the most important thing the new prime minister does, or the most important thing the group wants the new prime minister to do. When the embarrassed Imperial Navy approached the naval docks with the troops who had sailed out on an expedition against Emerik rather silently, Locke went to the scene to greet him, and he gave a speech. In his speech, Locke praised the bravery of the Imperial soldiers and promised to give the casualties a high stipend. He gave promises not only to the soldiers, but also to government officials and ordinary citizens who attended the welcoming ceremony at the pier. Locke promised that he would do everything he could to restore the reputation of the British Empire and the honor of the army. And the most important means of recovering this is to regroup the elite forces and launch another expedition. After the generous promise, there was silence on the dock, followed by thunderous applause and shouts. Locke knows that today is a wonderful appearance since taking office.

The Second Expedition of Blès did not continue the previous practice, and Locke asked the Empire's governors in the overseas territories to assemble a definite number of soldiers there, then assemble directly at a fixed location on the ocean, and then rush to Emerik in the same way. In this way, the local human resources of Breez are saved, and a lot of time is saved, and the preparation process for the development is increased. When the Governor wrote to him asking if he could recruit people of color into the royal army, Locke replied with only one word, yes. In a short time, the armies of the various realms were assembled, and the expedition of Blees was about to begin. Locke and the members of the group were happy about the development, and the news from Europa was even more cheerful. According to the information returned, the Frans who had helped the Emeric territory to judge the chaos and cut off the back of the Brethian fleet had broken down negotiations with the Ameriks, and they were also preparing to start a war with the Emeriks. This was great news, and after confirming the news, Locke decided to disarm the Frans and discuss a plan to deal with Amerik together.

The Frans insisted that not only did they not get what they wanted, but that they were humiliated. They began to increase the number of ships in the navy, and increased the size of the marines, and since there was no way to negotiate, King Frans told his generals to rely on guns and cannons. He didn't believe that nearly 100,000 imperial soldiers couldn't teach these territorial boys who didn't know the height of the sky. The Brethians are right when they say that there are no eternal friends, but eternal interests. This time, since the Britlesians took the initiative to propose a coalition regardless of their previous suspicions, Frans readily agreed. In the next half month, the two countries discussed for a long time how to cooperate in attacking the continent of Amerik and how to divide the territory of Amerik after the war. Locke thought that after teaching the rebels a lesson, it would not be too late for Brees to settle the last account with Frans.

I entered the cave for several days, but I kept getting news about Hong Eighteen from the man. Looking at that guy's spitting and star-splashing words, Mei Yi thought that a large part of the content must be made up, and if he wanted to know the mystery of Hong Shiba, he had to go in and see it in person. I didn't expect the opportunity to come, on this day, I don't know what happened in the depths of the cave, Mei Yi and a few young and strong men were summoned to serve. Mei Yi followed everyone and walked inside, and said in his heart what this Hong Eighteen looked like. Walking all the way, it was about a dozen miles away, and Mei Yi felt that the dampness in the cave was uncomfortable, and he finally arrived. What appeared in front of Mei Yi and them was a huge lake that looked like a mirror after being illuminated by the lights. I didn't see any Lingtai Pavilion, and there was no prominent figure, could it be that this Hong Eighteen couldn't hide in the water?
