The words of the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes full of emotion immediately generated a great incitement among the civil ministers, military generals and nobles in the hall, and everyone turned their heads and talked about it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At that moment, two people stood up to support the man in Chinese clothes: "Yes, Your Majesty, most of our territories are in the central and northern regions, if they are ruined by those barbarians, how can we survive this year." We are not like some people here, who hold great power and have whatever they want, of course they don't care, we all live on that little fiefdom, Your Majesty, you have to be the master for us. ”
The words of the middle-aged man in fancy clothes directly poked at the sore spot of many people present, especially a large group of nobles who had no real power but had a high status.
Most of them are the descendants of the heroes and lords who followed the founding emperor to fight the world when the Kaman Empire was founded, and with the change of time, although they still maintain their titles, many of them are no longer able to participate in the affairs of the empire, but only rely on the salaries of the empire and the harvest of the territory every year to support their decadent and luxurious life, especially in the territory in the central and northern part of the empire is their main source of income. Many of these fiefs were acquired by their ancestors when they followed the founding emperor to fight the Jiangshu, and many of them were acquired after conquering and driving out the local aborigines, and a large part of them were taken from the Baiyin people who originally lived there.
Many of the original inhabitants of the area were conquered and accepted the rule of the conquerors and gradually merged with the conquerors, but the stubborn Baiin were unwilling to submit to the new rulers. Although they were defeated by the strong force of the conquerors and driven to the far north, where the climate was cold and the natural conditions were harsh, their tenacious vitality led them to resettle in the far north, and refused to recognize the rule of the Liboa kingdoms, harassing the northern regions of the Liboa kingdoms year after year, without interruption for hundreds of years. Although the Liberian States also claimed ownership of the area inhabited by the Bains and demarcated their borders, in practice none of them could exercise effective jurisdiction over the area. For hundreds of years, it has either been requisitioned and cleansed, or soothed by tenderness, but it has never been able to completely solve this hidden danger.
In the past few hundred years, there have been several Ming monarchs in the Liberian countries, who accumulated national strength during their reigns, and practiced martial arts in an attempt to solve the problem of the Baiyin people in one fell swoop, but the climate in the extreme north is bitter cold, the natural conditions are harsh, and the [***] teams that lack logistical support can always achieve brilliant results in the early stage of each time, but once the Baiyin people lose the frontal battlefield. Immediately retreated to the mountainous areas of the Far North, where the geographical environment was complicated, and adopted a tug-of-war tactic with the [***] troops, forcing the logistically difficult and unaccustomed Zhu [***] due to the strict restrictions of the Liboa countries and adopting a heavy garrison, and drew a demarcation line to prevent the slightest slight, and resolutely did not allow the Baiin to return to the old land, and would rather let many areas in the north be barren than let the Baiin enter. The people of Baiyin have never been able to achieve great development under the harsh natural conditions, and the harsh conditions have restricted them in all aspects, the most important thing is that their natural population growth rate has been greatly restricted, so they can only accumulate strength year after year and wait for the opportunity, hoping that they will raise an army to invade the south at the first opportunity.
In general, the powerful Liberian kingdoms still had the upper hand in the face of the inadequately civilized Bianins, who in many cases had to temporarily accept reciprocal conditions in order to enable their people to survive, such as the payment of small offerings and taxes in exchange for commercial relations with the Liberian nations. But once the Baiyin people feel that they have the strength to fight, they will miss the wealth of the place where their ancestors lived, and the unique unyielding spleen surname of the national blood will erupt again, and there will be rebellion and disturbance every once in a while.
Since Gomez came to power, on the one hand, he has actively taken measures to develop his national strength, and on the other hand, he has adopted gentle means to appease the Baiyin people, hoping to obtain a stable rear so that he can have enough strength to realize his southward strategy. Seeing that the southward expansion strategy has achieved initial results, I did not expect that the north, which has always been considered to be stable, still has a problem after all, and there will be a big problem as soon as it comes out.
He knew what to use to convince the large group of nobles in front of him to be pure wishful thinking, these short-sighted guys only had their own private interests in their eyes, and the rebellion of the Bai Yin people directly endangered their interests, and His Majesty the Emperor used to disagree with his plans even if he would echo himself in the court, why did he rarely remain silent today? Thinking of this, Gomez squinted at His Majesty the Emperor sitting on the royal chair.
Derricka II's lean face was still a nonchalant sleepwalking look, as if no militaristic matter could arouse his interest, but he frowned slightly when the two were arguing, as if the voices of the two were too loud to disturb his train of thought.
Seeing His Majesty's strange appearance that was different from usual, Gomez couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that His Majesty the Emperor was already dissatisfied with what he had done? Or was it because he had politely rejected His Majesty's suggestion to turn a large estate in the occupied Jerok Jiama region into a royal hunting garden some time ago? Or were some people below already jealous of their sole power and slandered themselves in front of His Majesty?
These many thoughts were just a flash in Gomez's mind, and on the surface he still had that calm and calm look, and after clearing his throat slightly, Gomez replied with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to assure you that the rebellion of the northern Baiin will soon be quelled, and a corps sent to the north is already on its way, and once they reach the local garrison, the Baiyin barbarians will immediately pay a heavy price for their ugly and evil deeds. ”
"Hehe, Prime Minister, you're really good at telling jokes. Even if our Emperor [***] team is extremely powerful, how has the Bai Yin barbarian clan been completely wiped out in the past few hundred years? The Prime Minister has been in this important position for more than ten years, it seems that in addition to blindly currying favor and conniving at the Bai Yin people, it seems that everyone here has not seen what to do with the Bai Yin people? Your Majesty, we can no longer indulge the Baiyin barbarians in this way, and the prestige of our empire will be wiped out among the neighboring countries, let alone talk about any grand hegemony. The minister implored His Majesty to make a decision immediately, immediately send troops to recruit the Baiyin barbarians, and restore the glory of the empire in the past. ”
The other party bypassed Gomez, the prime minister in charge of military and political affairs, and directly asked His Majesty the Emperor for instructions, and immediately put Gomez in an embarrassing situation, if he interrupted the other party's conversation at this time, it would seem offensive to His Majesty the Emperor, if he accepted his wanton words, in case His Majesty listened to the conclusion and made a conclusion, even if he was unwilling, I am afraid that he would only accept it at that time, and His Majesty the Emperor's strange performance today also made Gomez feel bottomless.
The words of the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes immediately won the loud echo of many nobles in the hall, and even many civil and military generals from big nobles also participated in the front of the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes, knowing that their respective families have a large territory in the north-central part of the empire.
Seeing that the situation has developed to such a point, Gomez is almost certain that today's meeting is aimed at his own strategy of going south. At present, the city of Vanlin in the northeast of the Principality of Gelok is trapped like an iron barrel, and the capital Merrington is also sitting in the city waiting to be killed. Once the city of Van Lin fell, it was just a matter of time for Merrington to fall into the hands of the Empire, but the damned Bai Yin people would suddenly attack at this time and take themselves by surprise. He also knew that this would definitely stimulate the sensitive nerves of the old nobles in the court, and immediately transferred a corps from the battlefield of Fanlin City to return to the division at night, wanting to stop the mouths of these guys, but he didn't expect that this court meeting would still set off such a big storm, and the ferocity of the situation was greatly beyond his expectations, and even His Majesty the Emperor, who had always supported him, had a vague attitude, which made him feel very frightened.
It's a pity that the two giants of the military who support themselves and are from the nobility are all out on the march, and several ministers who are usually kind to them also dare not squeak in view of the anger of the masses and the strange attitude of His Majesty the Emperor, and two or three of them have even come out to speak, but they are also frightened by the vicious eyes of the large group of nobles and retreat.
Now that all this is in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, who rarely speaks at the court meetings, the tired Drica II does not seem to realize that he has become the focus of the two major power factions in the court, and after a little thought, Drica II said with an indifferent attitude: " Since all the ministers think that the problem of the Baiyin people in the north is serious, I think that it is related to the foundation of the empire, and I can't take it lightly, but the battle situation in the south is also a major matter that I have agreed to, but the battle situation in the south has reached a stalemate, and I don't think it can be solved in a day or two. ”
Gomez's heart was cold, although His Majesty did not make any specific arrangements in this sentence, and even left all important affairs to himself, but his words revealed a clear and unmistakable message, that is, it was necessary to solve the problem of the Bains to calm the strong dissatisfaction of the nobles.
But this was already a rather euphemistic reminder from His Majesty the Emperor, and at this time, Gomez could only salute and obey his orders with a sincere face.
"Okay, Zhongqing has also been standing here for a day, why don't you go to the West Garden tonight, I ask Zhongqing to relax today. I heard that this acrobatic troupe from the Central Continent performed very wonderfully, so I will enjoy it with the people, and the Prime Minister will work hard all night, so let's go with me. After finishing his business, Drica II immediately regained his spirits, and he was a hundred times more energetic when he talked about these entertaining and curious things.
Looking at the figure of everyone leaving, Gomez's face, which had been warm, slowly became gloomy, and today's court meeting gave him a deep lesson, and it seemed that he was still a little careless. The rebellion of the people at this critical moment, completely ignoring the benefits he had given them in the past few years, and the collective opposition of the nobles in the court and the ambiguous attitude of His Majesty the Emperor all made him think deeply about how many things he had not yet mastered behind this.
