Chapter 732: A Bloodless Victory

Ye Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he thought there was still a big war, but now it seems that the situation is much better than what he estimated! It is really a happy thing to be able to win such a large piece of territory without bloodshed!

The two walked slowly all the way to a small open-air theater. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is where the former owner drank and had fun in his spare time, and where he enjoyed the new opera.

A gorgeous stage made of white marble mixed with colorless crystals, with dozens of small and delicate fountains lined up in front of the stage. Hundreds of quaint nanmu chairs with fine silk cushions are arranged around the stage in a circle.

Directly facing the stage, the best vantage view was a magnificently taller throne topped with soft bright yellow brocade cushions.

Walk slowly up the spar platform, sit down on the throne naturally, and the beautiful scenery of the five weeks is in full view.

Leng Zhuo stood beside him, looking at him quietly, his beautiful eyes like autumn water were full of tenderness that could not be dissolved.

He reached out and wrapped his arms around her supple waist to sit on his knees, and the other side cooperated with the arms of the lotus root around his neck, the towering peaks casually rubbing against his face. The fragrant smell of the light and refreshing people is coming!

Both hands gently used force to jam her fragrant shoulders and stopped her from teasing herself! He asked, "If these cosmic regions can be obtained soon, the original expansion plan will have to be adjusted!" At least for three months, you can't use troops to the outside world, right? ”

Seeing him talking about business, Leng Zhuo straightened his expression slightly, and said, "These territories add up to hundreds of universe regions, and the territory of the Kingdom has expanded more than twice all of a sudden!" It really takes time to digest and rectify! Three months is a bit short! However, as long as it is just an accident, you can send troops again at that time! ”

"That's fine!" Ye Qingyuan exhaled and said,

"The situation in the sea of stars is becoming more and more chaotic, and the countries with a little fierce combat power are all involved in the war, and the army of the Tiloa Empire is confronting the alliance of the five major forces on the side of the Scandon Star Abyss, and it may rush over at any time! I'm running out of time to wait! ”

Leng Zhuo said with a smile: "The five extreme forces of the Prison Soul Star Sea are not so easy to deal with, even if the army of the Tiloa Empire can rush over, it will be the end of the crossbow!" What's more, I still have the Shuofeng Empire behind me! What are you afraid of it? ”

"That being said, however, I still hope that they will be able to spend as long as possible, and that it is better to have a mortal enemy! I can't get out of it anytime soon! I'm waiting to take the opportunity to grow myself! Ye Qingyuan said with a smile.

"My Majesty, what you mean is really insidious!" Leng Zhuo glanced at him with disgust, and chuckled.

"It's not like I'm insidious! Sitting on this son, of course, you can only think about the interests of the kingdom! If they don't fight to the death, how can I have a chance to rise? He was unashamed.

In his position, seek his government. After being the lord of the country for so long, his face seems to have gradually thickened, and he has begun to possess certain characteristics necessary for a qualified politician!

Of course, it is difficult to judge whether he will become a real political master in the future!

Looking at her joyful jade face and full of amorous beauty, his eyes gradually became eager. The hand involuntarily wrapped his arms around her slender waist and buried his face deep into the seductive ravine!

One by one, the gorgeous palace skirts slipped to the ground, and a low moaning and moaning sounded from the wide throne, mixed with the heavy gasping of the man......

Shuofeng Empire, 12 provinces in southern Xinjiang.

The Sand Gull Universe Region, where the headquarters of the Imperial Counterinsurgency Army is located, is brewing a bloody storm at this time!

The rebellion in the southern part of the empire has been going on for nearly a year.

The twelve provinces, a total of more than 300 cosmic regions, are equivalent to the entire territory of a first-class power! Hundreds of billions of people and countless resources can all be used by the empire, and the increase in national strength is obvious!

However, under the secret instigation of certain forces, coupled with the corruption of many imperial officials, they have done evil! It seriously damaged the image of the imperial government and intensified the contradictions between the local people and the government!

The rebellion, unsurprisingly, broke out!

At that time, the first emperor died not long ago, Fang Yuqing ascended the throne, and the emperor's internal and external hearts fluctuated. In the eyes of those forces, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Using the rebellion to contain the actions of the Imperial Regiment, deplete the Empire's national strength, and at the same time effectively deal with the Queen's prestige. As long as things develop in this direction, it won't be long before the empire can fall into the quagmire of southern Xinjiang and not be able to get out!

At that time, the empress, whose prestige had plummeted, was afraid that she would not be able to keep her position! The overall situation of the empire will develop in the direction they most want! The most problematic result is to replace it; If the luck is worse, the royal family will also be hollowed out; Even if it is the last result, your own family race will gain more power and benefits!

However, they don't care about what kind of end result the empire will face because of this!

The reason why the rebellion turned into a burning prairie in a very short period of time was all because of their covert support, otherwise it would have been impossible for the rebels to do it with their own strength!

However, the Empress, though young, is not as weak and deceitful as they think! In addition to decisively issuing orders to send troops to quell the rebellion, the intelligence network of the royal family and the Royal Inspectorate has not been idle!

After a period of careful investigation, the empress, who had obtained enough evidence, began to launch a fierce counterattack!

The twelve newly appointed governors of the provinces were all stripped of their positions and titles, all fiefs and possessions were recovered, and then publicly hanged! Along with them are a large number of middle- and lower-level officials! Even Wang Guangchang, the prime minister of the empire who has always shielded and connived at them, has lost his office!

Then, the empress issued an order to mobilize heavy troops, with Marshal Wang Yuexiang as the commander of the army, and do everything in the south to encircle and suppress the rebels. Another great purge in the imperial capital! All the family and racial forces associated with the rebels have been severely suppressed!

The power struggle has no family affection and benevolence to speak of, and the empress's approach is an inevitable reaction that any qualified monarch will make!

After months of encirclement and suppression, the rebels, who had lost the vast majority of external aid, suffered heavy losses and lost their momentum!

Two months ago, on her way to visit the Daomang Kingdom, the Empress patrolled the southern frontier and issued an order for the Praetorian Guard to also participate in the battle to encircle and suppress the rebels!

After more than a dozen fierce battles, the rebels lost one after another, and were compressed to a limited number of small star systems! The Empire's armies have surrounded it, and its total annihilation is just around the corner!

However, during this time, the intelligence department has investigated more and more shady scenes! Almost half of the wealthy families in the imperial capital have been implicated, especially the heads of the 8 major families! There are also local family and racial forces in southern Xinjiang!

The rebels' warships, energy crystals, weapons, logistics supplies, etc., are secretly supplied by them through some foreign organizations! Even the strategic command has some people who secretly inform them of the movements of the Imperial Regiment to suppress bandits!

The headquarters building of the Imperial Regiment is heavily guarded.

The ones who are on guard are no longer the elite of the Imperial Ability Legion, but a group of royal guards dressed in black heavy enclosed light armor, holding heavy halberds, and exuding a dignified, solemn, and cold aura all around them!

Among them, near the underground command center, there is a palace guard with a higher level of fierce combat effectiveness! The ice-blue light armor harmonizes the harmonious undulating soft lines, and under the sealed mask, you can see what the women there are, but just looking at the slender figure is enough to make any male who sees them faintly feel instinctive restlessness in their hearts!

Of course, looking at the entire empire, any man with a normal IQ would not have expected to attack their idea, which would be tantamount to directly provoking the majesty of the empress!

In the large conference room, at the end of the long mahogany conference table, the young empress was dressed in military uniform, sitting on the main seat with a cold expression, and a shocking cold glint flashed in her dark eyes from time to time! Staying at her side was still the mysterious manager Yan.

On both sides of her head, dozens of high-grade generals sat upright, their expressions respectful, and they didn't dare to come out!

A Praetorian Guard commander with the rank of Major General was standing to report on the situation:

“…… Your Majesty! That's how it is today! There are five rebel armies, two of which have been completely wiped out, and the main leaders have been captured or killed! The remaining two have been split into several divisions, which have been surrounded and blocked by the Imperial Army, and their current range of activities is limited to three small star systems......"

The empress listened for a while, her head lowered, and her beautiful eyes under her long eyelashes began to pay attention to a thin paper document placed on the table, white and beautiful, and her elegant slender hands gently flipped.

The document is not thick, only a few pages, and the content is not complicated, just one by one, and each name is followed by a concise explanation. For example, the identity of the name owner, family lineage, local influence, etc.!

This is the information collected by the Royal Inspectorate and the royal intelligence agency, and the people on the list are all people with heads and faces in the twelve provinces and more than 300 universe regions, and most of their origins are from long-standing family races!

In the past, the Southern Frontier rebels, which once threatened the heart of the empire in the universe region, had millions of warships of all kinds in the past, conquering cities and conquering the land, invincible! The commandos are tightly woven and their combat power is so strong that even the regular legions of the Empire are inferior!

The first two counterinsurgency armies sent by the Empire, because they did not know the real fierce combat effectiveness of the opponent, were still about to suffer defeat! The government and the opposition were in an uproar, and the whole country was shaken!

The investigation of the imperial intelligence department showed that why these rebels were so difficult was that in addition to the secret help of the forces of the imperial capital, these local native races were also indispensable!

Originally, it was understood that this was once the territory of the Xuanluo Federation, and after the empire incorporated it into its territory, the interests of these aborigines were inevitably damaged to a greater or lesser extent! However, the fierce combat effectiveness is not good, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he just swallows his anger!

However, the misdeeds of the new governor and other officials have completely intensified these contradictions that could have been slowly eliminated over time! Coupled with the change of the supreme ruler of the empire and the support of certain forces in the upper echelons of the empire, these aborigines have seen hope!

The slogans of the rebels were at first to punish lawless officials, demand absolute autonomy, and so on. Later, after defeating the imperial army one after another, their appetite swelled more and more, and they openly played the banner of self-reliance, and even had plans to attack the empire!

However, all these ambitions have come to naught with the empress's decisive and ruthless counterattack!

Fang Yuqing looked at the list in front of him, and was silent with a cold face.

Now the situation has stabilized, but the impact of this rebellion on the empire is far from over!

Millions of troops went out on the march, labored and paid, and the loss of resources in all aspects is a surprising number! And this is all paid by hundreds of millions of people under the rule of the empire!

The Empire's war machine wasted almost a year on this! As a result, the long-drawn plan for the external attack had to be postponed completely! This has caused a series of negative effects, as well as various tangible and intangible losses!

The empire has lost so much for the sake of such a rebellion!

Now, all the rebels are about to be destroyed, and the twelve provinces of southern Xinjiang will be restored to peace, and from then on they can truly integrate into the empire and become an inseparable part of the empire's territory! This is the opinion of some optimistic scholars.

But is that really going to happen?

At least, only a very small part of the chaebol families who previously openly and covertly supported the rebels were punished! Most were spared.

The reason is also very simple, that is, these family and racial forces are intertwined, and they affect the whole body, if they are caught too much, it will inevitably affect the stable development of the local area! The situation that has finally calmed down has twists and turns!

The empress snorted coldly in her heart: This group of wastes who only know how to rest things are full of innocent and beautiful illusions in their minds! It's still self-righteous!

Why don't they look at it, those family races dare to support the rebels unscrupulously because they are afraid of it! At present, they are tolerated and indulged, and if they make trouble at home again when the empire goes to war with foreign countries in the future, won't it be a fire in the backyard?

It is estimated that it will be done once and for all, and the only way to do it is ...... She couldn't help but clench the papers in her hand.

It is not clear when the Major General's debriefing has been completed. All the generals set their eyes on the empress who was still stunned.

"Your Majesty! What other orders do you have regarding the actions immediately following the Imperial Army? Wang Yuexiang coughed lightly, stood up and asked.

"How long will it take for Qing to wipe out the remnants of the rebels?" The empress had already made up her mind in her heart, and asked inquiring.

Wang Yuexiang looked at the other colleagues and solemnly promised: "One week at most!" ”

"That's good! However, as far as I know, the last planets they occupied were all the territories that the family races that led the rebellion had been running for a long time? It's almost all of their race, right? The Empress asked calmly as she stared at the famous general who had been loyal to her.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Yuexiang looked at her face and asked tentatively:

"Is it not to exile all the people on these planets as a price for their home race to support the rebellion? According to the old practice, they should have served at least forty years of hard labor! to be pardoned! ”

"Exile? Slavery? Fang Yuqing snorted coldly, "Don't you feel too cheap for them?" ”

"Then Your Majesty, what do you mean ......" (To be continued.) )
