Chapter 39: A Few Little Things (I)
Just when Wang Hao was fighting for life and death in the southwestern state, several things also happened in the southeastern state.
The surging process of the long river of history is often changed by a few inconspicuous little people, a few inconspicuous little things, and sometimes a small anthill on the embankment may be able to change the direction of the long river of history.
If these little people, small events, and little anthills are deliberately arranged by someone, and the people who arrange them have some extraordinary abilities, the possibility of this 'maybe' will be greatly increased. But at this time, we can think that history is still moving in its original direction, and these people who arrange the unexpected are just following the tide of history.
The largest ruined city in the southeast state: Jianye City, out of nowhere, a group of powerful thugs completely occupied the city, and openly declared independence, under the premise of supporting the rule of the new humans, sheltering the old humans, in Jianye City, all the new humans and the old humans have the same status.
Due to the war between the East Indian Empire and the Chinese Empire, most of the elite troops in the Southeast States have been transferred to the front line of Sanam Kangcheng, or stationed at the Maginot Line of the Southwest States and the South East States.
In the end, only two nobles sent troops, but they were wiped out in Jianye City, and the Wang family, which was closest to Jianye City, did not move on the grounds that the head of the family was on the front line and there was no one in the family to command, and watched these two nobles being completely crippled without sending a single soldier.
Some nobles who are idle every day or have ulterior motives have stabbed this matter to the Noble Administration, demanding that the Wang family be severely punished for not saving them when they see death. Not in line with the code of conduct of the nobility, even close to the crime of treason and treason, but very quickly. Everyone just shut up.
Because Lord Wang Hao was deprived of all noble titles and military ranks a few months ago, and he is waiting for his crimes and meritorious service on the front line.
No one is qualified to ask a person who does not have a noble title to "suppress bandits", even His Excellency the Grand Duke cannot ask a commoner to work for the country, nobles have the privileges of nobility, but nobles also have aristocratic obligations, and this obligation should not be borne by commoners without privileges.
At the third annual meeting of the Noble Administration Bureau in Lin'an City. A heated and one-sided debate is in full swing.
"May I ask Lord Earl Magnolia, Mr. Wang Hao is leading his friends and retainers as a commoner. Isn't it rare for such a citizen to be worthy of our respect when he contributes his own money and strength, and sits and fights to the death with the East Indians in the places where the fighting is most fierce on the front line? Doesn't it make us nobles ashamed? ”
On the podium in the Great Hall. A middle-aged man in a tuxedo. As he was saying something loudly, his face was full of excitement, and his finger pointed around the audience and said, "And such as the Earl of Magnolia, the Marquis of Husky, and Lord Labrador, what are you doing?!" ”
On the side of the stage, there were three families sitting alone on the prosecution seat, and it was the three nobles who asked the Noble Administration Bureau to severely punish Wang Hao.
The middle-aged man on the stage didn't wait for them to speak, waved his hand heavily, and scolded loudly: "You guys." You are wasting the resources of the country, and you have not fulfilled the obligations of the nobility. Go to defend the country and let our heroes shed blood and tears! ”
Speaking of emotion, the middle-aged man's eyes seemed to be slightly red, and he bowed to the other side of the venue, bowing to a group of elderly nobles, performing a standard aristocratic etiquette, and choked up emotionally: "I, the third-class earl of the Red Lotus family, Huoyun, suggest that the Noble Administration deprive these three despicable people who disregard the honor of the nobles and have a vegetarian meal from their titles. ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't give anyone else any chance to speak, turned his body again, turned to a group of soldiers with stars on their shoulders on the other side of the venue, snapped their feet together, performed a standard military salute, and said loudly: "I, Huoyun, the staff officer of the Third Army of the Southeast State, suggest that the Military Council use wartime management regulations to arrest these three conspirators who framed the officers and men of our army!" ”
These two charges are too big, even the Grand Duke of the Southeast can't afford such a crime, let alone three ordinary nobles, if any one is established, these three people will end up in disrepute, as for the conspirators arrested by wartime regulations, I have never heard of anyone being released alive.
However, the three nobles did not show any fear, and the elderly nobles of the Noble Administration in the venue were also chuckling slightly, laughing without saying a word, and the group of soldiers from the military committee who came to observe nodded one after another, but no one spoke.
Everyone knows that the Earl of Huoyun of the Red Lotus Family has no other skills, just a mouth, he can say that the dead are alive, and the living ones are angry and dead, he was a gold medal barrister in the old era, and he has never lost the cases he accepted, in the new era, with the Red Lotus family as the background, he is also good at dancing in the various upper circles of the new human race.
Anyway, in a word, since this person has come forward, then basically Lord Wang Hao will definitely not be punished in any way, as for the three nobles, it is not enough to die or be deprived of the title, but they also have to pay a lot of price for it.
The aristocratic circle is sometimes no different from the vegetable market, bargaining, asking for a price to pay back, no one expects that what they say is what they say, anyway, when they open their mouths, they say it seriously, and what can be judged in the end, everyone knows how much in their hearts.
Unless the defendant really committed the real treason, there is a mountain of ironclad evidence, and even the Grand Duke himself wants to deal with the defendant, as long as one of these three is not satisfied, this Earl of Huoyun has a way to solve the problem through legal means, and now it is obvious that Wang Hao is not satisfied with these three articles, if he must say it reluctantly, at most the first one is just a little bit.
And because of this, everyone knows that sometimes it is inconvenient for the Grand Duke to come forward in person, and what he says often makes this Earl of Huoyun come to endorse.
"Blood and tears?" The two triangular eyes of the Husky Earl are very strong, but his brainlessness is also well-known in the state, he stood up and said loudly: "Wang Hao has repeatedly violated military law on the battlefield, shouldn't he be punished!" ”
Wang Hao was deprived of all his titles and military positions because of the murder of the prince of Dongyin, and now such a fuss has become well-known, and the Husky Earl is very satisfied with his strain, and this matter can be used to attack Wang Hao.
Count Huoyun almost laughed, secretly saying that this is stupid. Force.
Sure enough, without waiting for Huoyun to speak, a colonel officer of the Military Council suddenly stood up and said coldly: "What, the affairs of our Military Justice Department, the Husky Earl is also ready to take care of it?" ”
This man didn't feel anything like sitting in the crowd of officers, but as soon as he stood up and spoke, there was immediately a sense of solemnity in the whole hall, and everyone felt that their necks were cold.
His rank was not too high, but he had a small dagger and shield on his chest.
If the regular army of the southeastern state is like a wolf and a tiger, and no nobles dare to provoke it, then in front of the military justice department, these tiger and wolf divisions are more docile and honest than kittens.
Most of the people here know this person, Colonel Bocheng, although he is only a regimental-level officer, but what he represents is the meaning of the head of the Military Judge Advocate General, General Dai Li.
In the entire southeastern state, there are not many people who dare not to give General Dai Li's face, and most of the people who have such courage have already died in the prison of the Military Justice Department.
A gray-haired old nobleman stood up and said with a smile: "Colonel Bocheng, don't be angry, this husky earl just said casually, there should be no disrespect for the military justice department." ‘
Bo Cheng snorted coldly and said coldly, "I hope so." The Judge Advocate General's Prison has been overcrowded lately, and the Husky Earl had better not mix it. ‘
"Let's not talk about military law, I just want to ask, it is said that Wang Hao was originally assigned to Xicheng to participate in the defense, but recently suddenly disappeared! I now submit this matter to Parliament for a thorough investigation of whether or not this person has defected to the enemy and treason. ‘
Count Magnolia, who had not spoken, suddenly became troubled, among the three nobles, he was faintly the leader, and he was also the most brainy one. As soon as the husky earl opened his mouth just now, he knew that it was going to be bad, and today he was talking about the problem of Wang Hao not being saved when he saw death, not the problem of the army fighting, even if he wanted to say it, it could not be mixed up, one yard was one yard.
Earl Magnolia, and Count Crazy Bull, who was killed by Wang Hao back then, were originally brothers.
It is said that he left secretly early in the morning, heading towards the East Indian camp, which is very suspicious. ‘
The Count of Laplado's mouth seems to have a little saliva on the corner of his mouth, I don't know if it's Alzheimer's, but those who are familiar with him know that it's the appearance, the Labrador family's genetic disease, it is said that this family raised a lot of Labradors back then, and the family is all women. I don't know why so many males were suddenly born after the new era, and every male has this genetic disease.
Before he could speak, Huo Ran, a major general officer, stood up and smashed the stainless steel cup in his hand hard.
The Major General was afraid that he was about to reach the Sanctuary, and the cup was like a meteor, smashing into Labrador's head with a flash of fire.
There was a crisp sound in the Titicaca, and the Labrador actually bit the cup, and was bitten apart by the cup, but most of his teeth were broken, and his mouth was full of blood.
'I'll grass your grandma! The major general officer opened his mouth and cursed: "Zhang Lingfu also followed him, do you mean that Lao Zhang also defected?!" ‘
Although Zhang Lingfu has always had a low military rank, it is not an ordinary background, the old classmates and brothers in the Auxiliary Emperor Military Academy, any one of them is now a military and political dignitary, and he usually does not show the mountains and waters, but if someone dares to touch him, it can be regarded as a hornet's nest.
This major general used to live in the same bedroom with Zhang Lingfu, and now he is an alternate member of the Military Committee. (To be continued......)
