Chapter 69: The Barrel of a Gun Comes Out of Power
Jeff is the owner of a watch shop, he has a beautiful wife in his thirties, two lovely women, and a family of four who rely on the business of the watch shop is quite good.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Jeff kissed his sleeping wife on the cheek, then got up to wash up and thoughtfully prepare breakfast for his wife and two daughters.
Seeing that it was almost half past eight, it was already time to open the store, Jeff yawned and unlocked the door, and walked out of the store to say hello to the owner of the bakery next door, the owner of the bakery and he were good friends, and both of them opened the store at about the same time.
"Please don't go out, sir. ”
As soon as Jeff walked out of the store, a soldier blocked in front of him, Jeff's eyelids jumped and he looked left and right, I don't know when the street was full of soldiers with weapons, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry were heavily guarded, and the faces of the soldiers had serious expressions and a sense of solemnity.
"Looks like something is wrong. Jeff returned to the store in a panic, called his wife and daughters, locked all the doors and windows, and the whole family stayed at home nervously.
At seven o'clock this morning, Ouyang Yu's army entered Lucerne City without hindrance, and then under her orders, they controlled all the roads out of the city, seized important government offices such as the police station, the telegraph office, and the Principality's Executive Yuan, and at the same time issued a martial law order in the name of Avril to strictly prohibit anyone from going out.
Then Ouyang Yu led the troops to start arresting people in the aristocratic residential area according to the list provided by Francis, she wanted to arrest all the doglegs who participated in the demagogic Francis's troops, and then find a way to get those doglegs to change the matter of sending troops to attack the manor privately under the instruction of Minister Zuo, and splashed all the sewage on Minister Zuo's body, and confirmed that Minister Zuo was the mastermind who sent troops to attack the manor without permission, so that he could not be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.
More than 100 soldiers from the second company of the seventh battalion came to Viscount Brooke's house, and the soldiers of Ouyang Yujun unceremoniously drove away the guards guarding the door, and then knocked open the door of Viscount Brooke's house, and Viscount Brooke, who heard the movement, hurriedly came to the hall and shouted at the soldiers of Ouyang Yujun: "Who are you? You dare to break into my house, get out of here immediately!"
The commander of the second company walked directly in front of Viscount Brooke and showed the arrest warrant signed by Avril personally, "Viscount Brooke and his eldest son Williams are suspected of conspiracy to rebel, and they are immediately arrested on the orders of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, and someone is coming, arrest all the Viscount Brooke family!"
"Yes!" × the soldiers replied in unison, and then they parted and began to arrest people.
Viscount Brooke was stunned, he snatched the arrest warrant from the hand of the commander of the second company and shouted that it was impossible, but the arrest warrant had the seal of the Lord of the Duchy of Lucerne and Avril's personal seal and autograph, according to the laws of the Duchy of Luxon, this is a completely legal arrest warrant, Viscount Brooke carefully read it two or three times, and then believed that the arrest warrant in his hand was true.
"Done, take it!"
Immediately, two soldiers grabbed Viscount Brooke's arms and dragged him out.
It didn't take long for Viscount Brooke's eldest son, one of Francis's doglegs, to be found, and Viscount Brooke's wife, side room, daughter, and other family members were all put on the truck and disappeared.
What happened in Viscount Brooke's house, there were four or five incidents at the same time in the aristocratic district, all the doglegs of Francis who participated in the demagogy and attack, along with their families, were all arrested, a calm aristocratic district cried to the sky, and the nobles who had not been affected for the time being were panicked, and they didn't know what was going on, but one thing can be seen, that is, the arrested noble families were all the closest loyal supporters who went with Minister Zuo.
The suggestion to arrest the doglegs and their family was put forward by Princess Ronnie, cutting the grass without eradicating the roots, the spring breeze blows and gives birth to this truth not only on the earth but also in another world, she grew up in the court of the Phoenix Empire, she has seen too much political overturning, and the best fate for the aristocratic family that has lost its rights is the exile of the whole family, and there are not a few who have been destroyed.
Ouyang Yu was against this suggestion at first, she crossed from the earth, and it was her instinctive idea to harm her family, but after being told by Princess Luoni, she was shaken, and after thinking about it for a long time, she acquiesced to Princess Luoni's suggestion, which led to the arrest of the doglegs' families.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Yu got what he wanted in Avril's study, the testimony of the doglegs, all the testimonies were written that the private deployment of troops to attack the manor was at the behest of Minister Zuo, and then it also included the reward for Minister Zuo's meritorious deeds after ascending the throne of the Grand Duke, although all the testimonies were full of loopholes and could not withstand scrutiny, but with these testimonies, he could justifiably take down Minister Zuo and make others speechless.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Yu got down from the command car, and in front of her was the mansion of Minister Zuo, who had been surrounded, and a full three hundred soldiers surrounded the mansion, ensuring that not even a single fly could escape.
"Knock the door open!"
Under Ouyang Yu's order, a truck knocked down the iron gate of Minister Zuo's mansion with a clatter, and then the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army swarmed in, the screams of the maids in Minister Zuo's mansion, and the screams of the guards made a mess, and Ouyang Yu walked into the mansion with Princess Luoni under the protection of the guards.
"Bang!"
The door of the study was slammed open, and Minister Zuo, who was sitting behind the desk, looked coldly at Ouyang Yu who walked into the study, and there was no trace of panic on his face.
In fact, Minister Zuo was more conflicted last night after learning that Francis had privately transferred troops to attack the manor, and wanted to send someone to call Francis back, and hoped that he could really break through the manor and bring Avril back, tangled and tangled When he made up his mind to call Francis back, Ouyang Yu's army had already entered Luxon City, and almost at the same time, several garrison officers who were lucky enough not to die fled into his mansion, Minister Zuo hurriedly asked about the results and results of the battle, and after knowing the complete battle process and results, Minister Zuo felt that the general trend had gone。
Ouyang Yu saluted Minister Zuo and took out the arrest warrant signed by Avril herself, saying, "Your Excellency Marquis Charles Maurice de Tallerand Périgor, Your Majesty is arresting you for treason on the orders of His Royal Highness Grand Duke Avril, please come with me." ”
Minister Zuo crossed his hands on the table, stared at Ouyang Yu for a long time, Ouyang Yu did not let the soldiers forcibly take him away, and maintained a upright posture for him to see, and only after a few minutes did Minister Zuo speak: "I didn't expect to lose in the hands of my own unsuccessful son, let alone that your army's combat effectiveness is so strong, three hundred against five thousand, your army can be easily defeated, congratulations to you Ouyang, you will replace me as the most powerful person in the principality, but I want to know why I lost?" And he lost so fast that he lost all his chips in just one night. ”
Ouyang Yu smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, I don't have any interest in the rights of the Duchy of Lucerne, my interest is war, fighting with powerful enemies, as for why you lost so quickly, it is because I have a strong army, and power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and any conspiracy is useless in the face of absolute violence." ”
"Politics comes out of the barrel of a gun?" Minister Zuo savored the meaning of this sentence, and then understood why he would lose so quickly, and he didn't even have a chance to turn over, that is, he didn't have an army that could fight, and the limitations of civilian officials made him not pay attention to the army, and he calculated all year round that others forgot that sometimes violence is the best means to achieve the goal, and Minister Zuo, who had figured it out, showed a wry smile.
"Your Excellency Marquis, since you have figured it out, then please follow me, everyone is a civilized person, and I don't want to use uncivilized means to deal with you. Ouyang Yu was a little impatient.
Minister Zuo got up and tidied up his clothes, and looked around the study nostalgically, which was a symbol of his power, representing the days when he had been in the Duchy of Luxon, sighed, and finally raised his feet and strode out of the study.
