129. Rise and fall between half chapters - the Northern Liang Army of the Empire

I am very old, my name is "Gutan", "Rus" means "tall and majestic", this name was given to me by "the previous majesty" or more "the previous majesty", and after being glorified and given the name, I am more loyal to my hometown - Ta'er City.

Ta'er City is the "Land of Longxing" of King "Charlemagne", at that time it was only a town, called Ta'er Town, the people were less than 600 people, at that time the "Roman Kingdom" was in chaos, too many people wanted to be kings, just seven years, before and after eight royal families ascended the throne.

The longest, after two and a half years, and the fastest, stepped down in just four months.

"The Rebellion of the Eight Kings", as the old bachelor of the town described it at the time.

The central is a mess, the place is not worried, a small town of Ta'er, in the past seven years, has changed ten lords, among them, there are monks, poets, and even thieves and the like.

I had lived in the town for more than twenty years, in the square in the center of the town, close to the lord's mansion, and I had expected King Charlemagne to be driven away by the angry townsfolk like the previous thief lord, but I guessed wrong.

On the day of his first arrival, he brought ten armed infantry, and the townspeople were ready, they were fed up with the birds of the nobility, they wanted to govern, and they took up their scythes in the busy farming season, and surrounded the new lord, who had sent men to the town earlier to inform them of the arrival of the day.

"This welcome ceremony is so special!" Charlemagne laughed loudly, "For five years, I will not receive a single wheat, but you must serve me as Lord, respect my law, listen to my sent, if there is any difficulty, even if you come to the lord, if you don't want to, then fight, in less than a moment, a hundred cavalry will crush here, hang the men, sell the women to other places, give birth to children, forever slaves, the name of Ta'er Town, will be erased from the kingdom!"

After speaking, the ten infantry behind him all took a fighting stance, and one of the soldiers even stuck a knife into himself, and then licked the blood on the knife, looking terrifying (the townspeople later learned that this was a small trick, from King Charlemagne's scary plan). )

Five years without collecting taxes, even the most virtuous lord can't do it, the villagers heard this, they didn't want to fight, it seems that this new lord, the status is very high, and there are a hundred cavalry behind, let him settle in this town, no need to pay taxes, but also deter other town lords, dare not come here to take it, it is beneficial and harmless.

"Why should I believe you, the nobles are all liars!"

"Get rid of them. ”

"Get out!"

There are also those who do not believe.

"Shut up!" Charlemagne's voice was as thick as a bear's roar, and finally, under the witness of the scorching sun in the sky, he swung his sword and slashed his skin and swore an oath of blood.

There is no more devout way to make an oath, and it is enough to earn respect .......

I regret not being able to see this scene in person, but I can tell that it was later heard by the townspeople passing by the square.

After becoming a lord, he didn't know where to get a horse, maybe it was robbed, and on the day he came back, he was still holding a woman, with real white skin and a soft speech, and I cultivated the concept of "man" beauty and ugliness with King Charlemagne at that time.

In the days that followed, I would see him riding on horseback and inspecting the town, but instead of taking a whip and driving the people to work, he threw the brass plates to the people.

More and more women were brought back, as well as all kinds of food and jewelry, and the townspeople smiled, and more and more people were able to eat enough.

Some women annoy him, and he will sell them again in exchange for better resources, even if his belly is slightly bulging, his heart is really ruthless!

Later, his identity was revealed by a baron, it turned out that he was only the second son of a small nobleman, and there were no hundred cavalry to command, and the soldiers who accompanied him into the town were a wandering defeated soldiers.

On the way, they met the new lord who was about to take up his post here, and he who could read and write, and after killing someone, he took away his papers, and took possession of the place, and behaved like a robber.

But he was a robber of his word, and I can assure him that he had no arrogance at all, and often rolled up his sleeves and went down to the fields with the peasants, or with the blacksmiths to raise fires and forge weapons.

When facing the enemy, he took the lead, and after many battles, he was carried back with only half a life left...... He was also talkative and knowledgeable, and as long as he was asked to speak at the square meeting, he would immediately be encouraged by his tongue and worship him, and at the end of the speech, the people would burst into enthusiastic shouts and whistles.

When I was twice as tall as he was, the place began to flourish, and the land of Ta'er grew larger, and the map was full of rivers, mines, woodyards, forests...... until the castle was completed.

On the day that Tale became Taer, King Charlemagne proclaimed himself a baron.

He doesn't seem to run out of energy, he has many women, more children, and when he is thirty-five years old, he moves the capital, and I have rarely seen him, except for the biennial city celebrations, and I can see him back here for vacation.

The year before he died, at the ceremony, I saw that his face was still full of life, and if he had not been poisoned, I guessed that he would have lived past a hundred years.

At the time of his death, more than 1,000 people passed through Ta'er City to go to the royal capital to mourn, and their relatives accounted for one-tenth of them.

"Stallion King" is the nickname given to him by the enemy, and it is really appropriate.

Fifty years after his death, the golden age of the kingdom, the warriors who set out from Ta'er always returned to the city with laughter rather than sadness. Later, many strange things happened, and I witnessed the glory of the kingdom, and I could not bear its decay, and I often prayed for another hero like King Charlemagne.

After I was given the name, I lived for another sixty years, and the city was full of anger, and I was distressed, but I could not do anything about it.

The eighteen-meter-high castle has half of the windows missing, and two-thirds of the exterior walls have been dismantled for other uses. The people were poor, the ratio of huts to brick houses was three times as high as when the previous king was still in power, the population was drastically reduced, and the time spent fighting with the enemy was getting longer and longer, and sometimes the children who were just taller than the horses would be conscripted into the army with javelins and straw sandals, only to be never returned.

After I was given my name, every city lord often came here to see me and my comrades-in-arms behind me, and they would pat my body, and every time after this time, I felt that the strength that had gradually disappeared returned!

My health is not very good anymore, and the lords take me very seriously, and often send doctors to check on me, and whenever this happens, I always want to shake off something to express my gratitude.

There is a tablet in front of me, which is written by King Charlemagne, the symbol of the Rooney Kingdom, and I want to protect it, after all, there are many kings, I have watched them grow up.

On this day, when the sun was rising, I saw King Charlemagne's army passing by, the soldiers were strictly disciplined, and King Charlemagne rode by in the center, wearing a golden helmet, and his eyebrows were very similar to those of King Charlemagne.

I was fascinated and wanted to remind him to be careful against the enemy, but I couldn't say anything, and with the help of the breeze, I sent him a few leaves, hoping that he would be victorious, that he had the spirit of a king, and that he should lead the country, and that I hoped that he would drive away the fat man ...... Cha Niaoman.

There was a noblewoman who saw off King Charles, who was his wife and a famous heroine of the kingdom, and if it weren't for her pot-belliedness, I think she would have gone with her husband.

When I saw King Charles leave, I was bored counting the days, and on the one hundred and twentieth day, the ground began to move, and I was first overjoyed and then surprised!

I could hear the footsteps, not King Charles' army, the pace sounded like thunder, I was terrified to hear it, the hordes of cavalry opened the way, I had not seen such a strong and neat cavalry for many years, in the words of the poet, this momentum can frighten the sun in the sky to fall.

I kept counting, but I kept correcting the numbers, because the crowds continued to appear, and many people came to Ta'er, not with the flag I liked, but with a very complicated flag with an exotic emblem, but I knew that the emissaries of this country had passed through this place.

A two-headed black eagle, each facing to the left and right, with a small crown on its head, and on two small thrones were a large crown of pearls, blue rubies, and gold.

The left talon holds a sword, the right talon holds a scepter, and the body carries a gold necklace, the bottom of the necklace hangs a white sheep, and eight small crowns are glued to the feathers, including crows, scales, unicorns, etc...... This is the "Kingdom of Austria-Hungary", the left eagle represents Austria, and the right eagle table is Hungary.

I screamed frantically, shaking the leaves on my body, but I fell silently, my life essence was disappearing, and my friends were struggling to resist...... We did our best, the stele was kicked down at the end, my mission was over, I aimed at a few enemies, extremely angry, ready to smash them to death with my body, and we all ...... die.

.

", don't you have long eyes, wouldn't you be careful when you cut down a tree?"

"This tree garden is really big, it's hundreds of years old, be careful, pick the biggest good trees and send them back - "Vienna". ”

"Tomorrow, we will continue our march to make King Rooney a vassal. ”

Relying on the help of the friendly army of the "Alessandro family", the Austro-Hungarian kingdom wanted to take advantage of Rooney's instability and destroy it, ending the war that had lasted for more than a hundred years.

The Alessandro family came from the northern frontier of the Bytin Empire.

At present, two-thirds of the northern frontier is directly under its jurisdiction, and the family takes the blue and white "thunder" as the totem, and the patriarch of the clan - "Smazhao".

A man who has aspired to be an "emperor" since he was a child!

.

Legend has it that when he was born, a vision fell from the sky, and within nine days, three meteorites flew over the sky, and there were many legends in various places, and there were many people who swore to see the sow go up the tree and the rooster lay eggs.

The Donghu astrologer who was loyal to his family said that Sima Zhao had an "imperial spirit", so he turned the heavens and the earth upside down, and transposed men and women, and was a generation of gods, which made his father very happy, and taught him how to lead the empire instead of allegiance to the monarch.

At that time, the power of the northern frontier of the empire was complicated, because the country was not a Latino minority, they were often excluded, and most of them fled to live in northern Xinjiang, they were called "Liang people" (Latin generally refers to those who have no fixed residence), which changed the proportion of the population, and in northern Xinjiang, the Latins were angry.

When he was one year old, the Alessandro family, due to the great injury in the war with Persia, was driven to the north by other military towns, and the territory was even bigger, but there was a possibility of destruction.

Therefore, Sima Zhao was different from the patriarchs of previous dynasties, read a lot of books, was rich in knowledge, and when he could not speak well, he practiced holding a wooden sword and riding a wooden horse.

When he was a little older, he began to be in the company of Liang Ren, he can speak three cool languages fluently, he is generous, treats Latins and Liang people equally, and always comes out when he encounters injustice.

He had two pairs of bows and arrows on his saddle, and he could shoot the bow left and right when the horse was galloping, and the cool people were all convinced, calling him "Ranger".

Nurtured by the soil of northern Xinjiang, he is very popular with people, attracting many talents to vote, "Ranger - Sima Zhao", this name is getting bigger and bigger. After gaining a firm foothold in the northern frontier with his father and opening up a new world, the entire northwest of the empire began to be swallowed up by thunder.

In the past, it was difficult to expand the territory, but now there are foreigners on three sides, and with various means, the land where the thunder can "roar" is getting wider and wider.

The rise of the army called the "Northern Liang Army" is also the strongest combat power of the empire, and in fact, it has formed a situation of a country within a country, and the empire cannot balance the Alessandro family, so it can only work harder to pacify.

His aunt (deceased) was the second queen of the "Emperor Nero", and his sister was the current queen of the courtesy.

But this made him even more arrogant, and he often said to his cronies, "What is the position of 'great general', "where the sun shines, and where the rivers flow, all are the best of Alexandria." ”

For him, this sentence can only be written like this, only so long!

His naked lust for power made the opposition nobles led by the southeastern warlord "Dong Zhuo" make up a lot of counter-words for him, hired bards, merchants, and spread all over the world, and children can speak a catchy sentence is-

"Smazhao's ambition is known to passers-by", in order to warn Emperor Nero to take precautions in advance.

But Sma Zhao's flattery was very good, and in the imperial capital "Constantine", he deducted the objects that could not be wooed, but whoever could talk to Nero, he used gold for his own use, and befriended those who were secondary, and at worst he had to remain neutral, otherwise, when eating, poisonous scorpions appeared on the dishes and plates, and wine was poured into alchemical potions, which was a common thing.

These ways of getting rid of political enemies have existed since ancient times, and Sima Zhao's behavior has made the Baiting assassination trend stronger, and now the nobles enter and leave the imperial capital, all with private soldiers, and the imperial power has been crumbling, and it is almost a flame.

Today, the Baitian armed forces can be roughly divided into the central and local two lines, the local armed forces are the strongest in Smazhao, and the central forbidden army is currently in the hands of ten chamberlains (eunuchs) trusted by Nero.

Nero ruled the empire for more than half a century, and the nobles rebelled endlessly, killing batch after batch, which made Nero reflect and think

The eunuchs were more credible than the nobles, they could not pass on the family line, and they were both prosperous and lost with the emperor.

Especially after experiencing the rebellion of his own children ten years ago, he was even more convinced that this idea was correct, and he forgot that in the history books, the death of the three emperors was related to the eunuchs, and he assigned the position of "commander of the palace forbidden army" to ten close eunuchs to share government affairs for him.

These ten eunuchs who held power were given the position of "chamberlain", and they often treated Nero around, and were called "ten chamberlains"

All countries have the glorious position of "horse breeder", because the eunuch's voice is low and hoarse, the third emperor believes that the eunuch's voice is very similar to the horse's voice, so he wears the "horse totem" clothes, unified into the eunuch's formal clothing, and the name also begins with "horse".

Among the ten permanent attendants, the most trusted by Nero are the three chamberlains of Mosaic, Malemo, and Maltese, headed by Mosaic, known as the "Great Chamberlain".

Smazhao formed an alliance with the Great Inner Servant-Mosaic, and the two of them were in charge of the emperor at home and abroad.

This time to send troops to the Rooney Kingdom, it was also Smazhao who colluded with Mosaic and made greedy remarks against Nero, saying that the Rooney Kingdom insulted the empire, invaded the border, and made the border unstable, so Nero agreed to send troops, but the original intention was to teach a small lesson, but after it was transmitted to the northern frontier, it was ordered by Smarzhao - "The War of Annihilation!"

Except for the Kingdom of Rooney, Bohemia is also in the bag, what is a pirate, Lithuania, Persia in Donghu, and Xili in the west, he will be destroyed one country after another, he wants to let the Thunder Flag float from the land to the North Sea Ocean, as long as he waits for the immortal Emperor Nero to leave, his little nephew who is less than ten years old will succeed to the throne, he is the "Imperial Adjutant", "General", "Governor of Constantine".

The three dukes of the empire, all of them are part-time by him, followed by the "nine tin" that can only be used by worshipping the emperor, and when the little nephew dies of illness, he cries for two days, and the Xiliang army enters Constantine, starting the ancient system of "virtuous monarch promotion", the leaders of each military town will bow their heads and kiss his palms,

The greatest existence in the world, "Worship the Emperor - Smarzhao".
