Chapter 57: The Great Mobilization of the Whole People
readx;
At the beginning of December 4873 in the Guangming calendar, near the end of the year, Chang'an City was snowing heavily, and in this silver-covered season, a Western Continent mission was in a hurry, and rushed to the temporary palace outside the city non-stop!
This mission is under all kinds of banners, there are more than a dozen kinds, it can be seen that they come from different countries, but at this moment, the faces of the envoys of various countries who are anxiously waiting for the summons of the palace maid are all full of worried looks at this time!
That's right, this mission was sent by the remnants of the Holy See in the mouth of Charles Andris, who were sent by the dozen or so countries that sold the Holy See in exchange for Charlie Andris's forgiveness when the Holy See surrendered!
Buchen didn't let these envoys wait long in the ice and snow, only ten minutes, and summoned them to the main hall of the palace to meet them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The envoys breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed the palace maids who came to convey the emperor's order, and entered the palace.
At this time, in the main hall of the palace, Buchen was discussing the matter with the imperial concubine Fei Fei, who was on duty today.
"Henry, do you really want to give aid to these small countries?" Fei Fei frowned and asked, in her opinion, it was completely unrealistic to expect the feudal private soldiers of these small countries to block Charlie's Western Empire army! Therefore, it is a complete waste to give them material aid! Even if the empire is no longer short of money, it can't be wasted like this!
Buchen smiled generously and said, "Feifei, I know what you think, but things can't be seen like that. After receiving our assistance. Even if these small countries end up with the end of a country and extinction, as long as they can play a role in delaying the enemy's troops, these materials are not a waste! ”
"Actually, Henry, what's the big deal if you can't delay Charlie's soldiers? With our current strength, not to mention defending the city, they should be the ones who are afraid of fighting, right?! Fei Fei was not convinced by him.
Buchen shook his head and said his true plan: "Fei Fei, since the recovery of the Eastern Continent, the ancient relic factories in the entire Eastern Continent have been operating at full capacity to produce neural network terminals, and at present, the national terminal of Tongdong Town is almost completed, so the main purpose of my delay in the battle time is actually to try that we have been preparing the national mobilization plan!" ”
"National Mobilization Plan?!" Hearing these six words, Fei Fei's shocked mouth almost couldn't close, "Henry, your appetite is also too big, right?!" ”
Buchen grinned and said, "Appetite or something, isn't it a matter of time before this plan is implemented?" In this case, it is better to implement it as soon as possible, and you can accumulate valuable experience as soon as possible, right? ”
Fei Fei just shook her head, her eyes were straight, and her tone trembled: "That's a national mobilization!" ”
Buchen waved his hand: "At present, it is not a whole people, but only a province of millions of school-age male citizens and hundreds of thousands of female citizens!" ”
"A few million or less?" Fei Fei said with a tongue.
Buchen shrugged his shoulders: "There are not too many people, the conquest of the northern part of the Western Continent is barely enough, and when the terminal of the four towns is fully popularized in the future, there will be another big mobilization, and then in order to completely conquer the Western Continent, tens of millions of mobilized soldiers will be needed!" ”
Fei Fei couldn't say anything when she was shocked by Buchen's huge appetite, and just at this time, the envoys of the small country came to the outside of the palace, so she retreated behind the dragon chair to hide her embarrassment.
Buchen looked at Fei Fei, who was standing behind him with an expressionless face, smiled bitterly, and didn't say anything to her, but turned his head and said to the palace maid who entered the hall to ask for instructions: "Let them in!" ”
"No!"
The palace maid agreed, turned around and went out, and after a while, a group of sad faces, as if they owed hundreds of millions of huge debts, walked into the palace.
"Meet His Majesty the Emperor!"
In order to show their sincerity, these envoys also let go, and even bowed three times and nine times to the ministers!
Looking at this group of guys who kowtowed to themselves, Buchen couldn't cry or laugh a little, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "It's almost okay to wait, let's be flat!" ”
"The foreign ministers have thanked His Majesty the Emperor!"
The messengers kowtowed again before they stood up tremblingly.
"I know what you're here for!" Buchen said straight to the point, "It is impossible for the Empire to directly send troops to aid you for the time being, the Imperial Army has just completed the war to recover the whole of the Eastern Continent, and it is very tired, and it is currently stationed in various parts of the Eastern Continent, and there are not many of the four towns left, and they have to divide their troops to participate in the landing battle to recover the city of Litro, so they have no spare strength to support you by land." ”
A look of despair suddenly appeared on the faces of the messengers.
Buchen didn't want to break down the spirit of these people, so he hurriedly changed his words and added: "However, although it is not possible to send troops directly, there is no problem with material and equipment assistance." ”
The envoys let out a long breath, and couldn't help complaining in their hearts that they were panting for their words, and even those who were psychologically dark had already scolded them in their hearts for not being subordinate and lacking morality......
"May I ask Your Majesty, how much assistance can you give us?" An emaciated messenger in a shabby red velvet cloak asked first.
Buchen looked at the heraldic pattern on the messenger's chest, and instead of answering immediately, he asked, "Your Excellency is the envoy of the Holy City Kingdom, right?" ”
"Exactly." The messenger replied, "My King is His Majesty Adam Bridges. ”
Buchen nodded, and said with an apologetic expression: "When I broke into the Western Continent, I went to assassinate His Majesty Abraham, the previous king of your country, just because of the anger of the moment, and I have always felt sorry for your country over the years. ”
A look of surprise immediately appeared on the envoy's thin face, as the envoy of the Holy City Kingdom, he naturally knew very well that Buchen had a deep hatred with his own kingdom, but today, Buchen is powerful, their Holy City Kingdom has a request for others, and they no longer plan to pursue that old past, I just hope that Buchen will not treat them harshly because of that period of forgetfulness like he treats other countries, but he never dreamed that Buchen would be a conscience......
"Your Majesty, ......?!"
A kind smile appeared on Buchen's face at the right time: "I originally planned to give each of you 100,000 sets of armor and 100 twenty-four-pound smoothbore guns. However, for your Holy City Kingdom, I plan to add another 30,000 sets of armor and 50 cannons, as well as the right to take refuge in wartime. ”
"Your Majesty, let the foreign minister take the liberty of it, may I ask what this wartime first-class right of refuge means?" The envoy of the Holy City Kingdom asked suspiciously.
"It's simple." Buchen shrugged his shoulders, "In a critical moment, not only will your royal family be allowed to go into exile to our country through the Osan Straight Road, but our country will also demote the king of your country to grant the noble status of a duke, so that your royal family can live a decent life during exile." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you so much, Your Majesty! The envoy of the Holy City Kingdom was moved to tears, and he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Buchen again! You must know that as the uncle of the current king, he is also surnamed Bridges! This level of asylum will undoubtedly work for him and his family!
The envoys of other countries looked at the envoys of the Holy City Kingdom with envy and jealousy, and they smiled lightly at their expressions: "Don't be too disappointed, our country will also grant your royal family the right of refuge in wartime, although it is not first-class, but as long as you carry enough family property when you flee, you can also live very comfortably in our country." ”
The messengers looked at each other, and finally squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying to Buchen.
Buchen didn't care, and continued: "You will stay in the state guesthouse for two days first, and I will arrange for the cabinet to mobilize materials for you." ”
"Everything is as Your Majesty commands!"
The messengers hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Buchen nodded, and was about to let the palace maid send off the guest, but he didn't want to, at this moment, a messenger hesitated, took out a letter from his arms, took two steps forward, and presented it to Buchen with both hands.
"You're an emissary of the Duchy of Hansen, aren't you? Is this a private message from your Grand Duke to me?! Buchen tilted his head to look at the messenger with a puzzled expression.
The messenger shook his head, a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, this is not a private letter from the Grand Duke of our country, but a letter from a prostitute~ woman who is familiar with me. ”
"A prostitute~girl?!" Buchen immediately frowned when he heard this.
"Yes." The messenger nodded, "Her name is Huang Lixian." ”
"Xian'er?!" Buchen's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed to the letter and said, "Give me that letter quickly!" ”
Fei Fei pursed her lips, walked off the stage with some reluctance, came to the messenger, picked up the letter, and handed it back to Buchen.
Buchen didn't rush to open the letter, but asked the messenger with a concerned face: "Is Xian'er okay?" ”
The messenger nodded, then shook his head again.
Buchen looked puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
"Your Majesty." The messenger's expression was a little strange, "Huang Lixian is now opening a checkmark in my country's capital. ”
"Isn't that the same as before? What's so bad? He asked puzzled.
"It's not good for you." The messenger boldly said, "Because she did not wait for you any longer, but married His Majesty the Grand Duke of our country some time ago. ”
"Is that so?" Buchen relieved his heart and leaned back on the back of the dragon chair, "Falling into the dust, and finally marrying the king of a country, this fate is not bad." ”
"Uh, you're not angry, are you?" The messenger asked cautiously, looking at his expression with a little regret.
"Angry? You're thinking too much. Buchen smiled and shook his head, Huang Lixian married, if you want to say that he is lost, he has a little bit in his heart, but he is not really angry, but he is more happy for Huang Lixian, as he said, a dusty woman, in the end, can marry the king of a country, it is already a very good destination, especially if you have to take into account that Huang Lixian is definitely not young......
As he spoke, Buchen opened the letter and read it.
The content of the letter is not surprising, in addition to telling the feelings of parting over the years and the hardships of being in troubled times, it is the satisfaction of the present life, and finally wishing Buchen to establish a greater career, and not to think about her again, let alone come to her again......
"Stupid woman, how could I not think of you anymore?"
Unconsciously, Buchen's eyes were already a little red, "But I will follow what you said and don't come to you again!" Xian'er, I wish you a happy life for the rest of your life! ”
The envoy of the Duchy of Hansen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"One last question." Buchen wiped the corners of his eyes and stared at the messenger with a smile: "Is your Grand Duke very similar to my appearance?" ”
The envoy of the Principality of Hansen smiled bitterly and bowed to the ground towards Buchen: "Your Majesty is really like a god!" ”
