Chapter 56: Signs of Chaos
"Lord Governor, in addition to this incident, Earl Hudson also sent a lot of orc slaves, and exchanged the labor force with the small and medium-sized nobles below, do you want to stop it?"
Antonio asked with concern.
The efficiency of the work of the orc slaves is definitely not as good as that of the serfs. It's also a hassle to manage, otherwise it would have been popularized long ago.
"No, you don't! Stuck on them in such a trivial matter seems too deliberate, and it will have a bad impact on it.
What's more, the Korubians left a few days ago, and they informed us. Although the final harvest was very mediocre, we had to respond to the overtures.
Anyway, they are all orc slaves, and it is estimated that Earl Hudson will not feel distressed if he dies, so he will arrange it to the most dangerous place. ”
Governor Pierce said with a steady.
It was a conspiracy, and even if Hudson knew that he was wearing small shoes, he couldn't say anything.
Slaves have no human rights, and orc slaves have no human rights. Arrange dirty work for them, that's a matter of course.
Under the primitive construction technology, some projects in dangerous areas are destined to be filled. It is better to fill in the life of a beast than to fill it with the life of a human.
"Uncle, I heard that the Arcane Academy under construction in the kingdom will have Earl Hudson as the honorary headmaster, do you think this will affect us?"
Viscount Cailliaud asked, worried.
Judging from the importance of all parties alone, it can be judged that the Arcane Academy under construction is not simple. Referring to the magic academy in the royal capital, Cailliaud knew that this thing would definitely affect the future political landscape of the kingdom.
The competitors are not only the founders of the Arcane Academy, but also serve as the honorary headmaster, but they only put an ordinary teacher in it, and the influence of the two sides on the academy is obviously not on the same level.
"Rest assured, the Arcane Academy has just been born, and it is the time when credibility is needed, and no one will do anything at such a time.
Hudson's character is still guaranteed. We've been dealing with him for so long, have you ever seen him play with intrigues?
What's more, the current Arcane Academy can't call the shots. From the establishment of the college to the present, Hudson has done nothing except to hang a name.
It's not that he doesn't want to do it, it's that those old guys are too tightly controlled by the Arcane Academy, and Hudson, the honorary headmaster, doesn't have much say in the past.
Let's see, when those old guys are dead, Hudson will definitely reach out to the Arcane Academy. ”
Listening to Governor Pierce's words, Viscount Cayo was very helpless.
"Hudson's good character?"
Looking back at his memory, he really didn't find any black spots. At least from the standpoint of the Terran aristocracy, Hudson's actions are commendable.
Especially on the orc battlefield, there was obviously a chance to attack them, but in the end, not only did they not fall into the ground, but they were pulled at a critical moment.
What is happening in front of everyone's eyes, this cannot be relied on.
So much so that at the post-war aristocratic meeting, the proposal for the Coslow family to enter the circle of the great nobles was directly approved by unanimous votes, including the Dalton family.
But this guy with a good character will pit him very badly! When I think of my previous sad experience, it was all tears.
But these things can't be said to people yet. It is unclear how much impact it will have on Hudson's reputation, and Viscount Cayo himself will definitely die anyway.
……
Kingdom of Hesse.
"Your Majesty, Louis Vuitton III does not enter the oil and salt, no matter what we say, he has an indifferent attitude."
Marquis Krasner said with a look of embarrassment.
Originally, this was a trouble for the military, but the shrewd Marquis of Leilian found an opportunity to dump the blame on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the reason was very simple: they were reckless men who were only suitable for fighting and killing, and the negotiations should be left to professionals.
At this point, even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wanted to shirk it, it had no way to open its mouth, so it could only take the trouble.
However, Louis Vuitton III was even more difficult than they expected. Coercion and inducement not only did not work, but the officials sent out to negotiate were depressed by him.
Even as a captive, the king is still full of style. It is impossible to cooperate, and now Louis Vuitton III only does one thing - eat, drink and be merry.
Outside the palace was the domain of the Hessian army, and inside the palace was still the territory of Louis Vuitton III. The king deserves to be treated, and there is no deduction at all.
It's not that they don't want to engage in small means, but there are too many people staring at them. Everyone is smart, Louis Vuitton III does not cooperate, it is just a little more trouble.
If drastic measures were used, Louis Vuitton III had some accidents, and the charge of killing the king would fall on them.
This kind of selectivity is not to mention the pressure of international public opinion, and even their own king will not be able to help but kill them.
"Rubbish!
Tell Louis Vuitton that bastard that if he cooperates, he's the fiefdom count of the kingdom. If he behaves well, I can give him a rich county as a fief.
If he continues to resist, then let him go out into exile with his family and live a life under the fence.
If you can't persuade you, then mobilize the people of the Korubian royal family to persuade you. His queen, prince, and princess were sent over and asked to go to work together! ”
Alexander V said angrily.
This operation against the country of Korubia is already very out of line. If the aftermath is not dealt with, the international reputation of the Kingdom of Hesse will be negative.
Trying to legally annex a country is never a simple matter. Especially in a country like Korubia, which has not fought a single battle, there are many hidden dangers in the future rule.
If you can't swallow it raw, you can only increase the technical content a little. For example, Louis Vuitton III proposed the merger of the two countries.
There is also a precedent for this kind of thing in the continent of Aslant. At present, several powerful countries on the continent were all hugged by a group of noble lords after the collapse of the empire.
Many ancient nobles have ancestors who have given birth to kings. Even if the independence is short, it has a glorious history.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Louis Vuitton III really wanted to commit suicide, he was already dead. No matter how fast we move, we can't stop a person from seeking death.
The current performance is nothing more than waiting for the price to sell, wanting to strive for better treatment. We want a decent ending, why shouldn't he?
At the moment, the real trouble with our annexation of the country of Korubia is the noble lords scattered all over the place. If these people are not removed, there will never be peace in the kingdom's reign there! ”
The Prime Minister, Duke Milton, said murderously.
It's just that the rhetoric is terrible, and when it comes time to deal with it, the situation has changed again.
The domains of the nobility were sacrosanct, and without a proper reason, not even the king had the right to deprive them of the title on their heads.
According to the normal rhythm of seizing the title, it is the king, or the government at all levels, who has caught the major crime evidence of the person concerned and submitted it to the noble council for confirmation, before the title can be officially deprived.
This kind of game rules obviously do not apply to the country of Korubia. If you want to deprive a family of two nobles of their titles, you may be able to operate it.
Collective seizure, it's no wonder that the local nobles can agree! I'm afraid that if the knife is put on the neck of the councillors, it will not be possible for the local noble council to pass.
In non-war times, Alexander V did not dare to order the execution of nobles, even those of other countries.
It's even worse to leave these people behind. The Kingdom of Hesse took great risks and took military action in order to eat meat in the past, not a nominal dominion.
A number of interest groups in China are sharpening their knives and waiting to share the cake. If you suddenly say that the cake is gone, you can't explain it at all.
"What do you think we should do?"
Alexander V asked, pretending not to know.
Generally speaking, when dealing with stubborn elements who cannot be attacked on the surface, then they can only take extraordinary measures.
However, this kind of thing is usually the subjective initiative of the people below, and whether it is successful or not, it must have nothing to do with the king.
"Your Majesty, the July Church has been entrenched in the country of Korubia for a long time, and is plotting a rebellion.
We used to help suppress the rebellion, but the nobles of Korubia did not appreciate it. The master did not agree, and we did not want to force our way into their territory.
Now that the matter has leaked out, I am afraid that July will take a risk and launch a rebellion in advance against the king of the country of Korubia.
For the sake of the bigger picture, please order the troops who have entered the country of Korubia to gather in the royal capital to protect the safety of Louis Vuitton III. ”
Count Niklas suggested with a serious face.
This kind of thing, the military must stand up and take responsibility, and not let this matter have anything to do with the king.
"Let the Marquis of Raylian take care of it! Everything is based on maintaining the long-term peace and stability of Korubia, which is the first element. ”
The words of Alexander V directly settled the matter. If you want to have long-term peace and stability in Korubia, you must first clean up the unstable factors.
It's just that after the bitter July meeting, it was clear that the people were still active in the northern part of the Alpha Kingdom, and a black cauldron fell from the sky.
And if you don't carry it, there will be countless evidence and black materials pointing at them, proving that all the bad things are done by them.
Of course, for the July Society, which is thousands of miles away, it is completely a matter of lice and no itching, and carrying the pot can only be regarded as a daily operation.
Over the years, they have fought countless crimes, and this time is nothing more than another addition.
As for cults, none of them are clean. In particular, the cult organizations that have made a name for themselves are full of black cauldrons.
……
Holy.
"Your Majesty, the Ruthenians have rejected our kindness and are willing to lend their way instead of declaring war on the dwarven kingdom!"
Bishop Sauron reported with a gloomy face.
originally thought that it was a safe thing, but I didn't expect to be rejected in the end. You must know that in order to win over the Kingdom of Ruthenia, they also made a bloody investment.
The great Holy See can pull down its body and form an alliance with a declining kingdom, and it can still be rejected, it is simply ......
In short, this incident made Bishop Sauron lose face, and now he is very angry, and he is eager to immediately send troops to send the king of Ruthenia to the barbecue.
"It is the duty and obligation of all people to expand the living space of the human race, and the Ruthenians can refuse when they say no!
Send someone over to warn the king of Ruthenia and tell him that collusion with foreign races will not end well.
The rest of the plan remains the same.
Ulise, look for an opportunity to plan a few conflicts between the Dwarven Kingdom and the Ruthenian Kingdom, and the bigger the better.
The shadow planted in Ruthenia should also be launched at this time. Released the news: There are people in the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Ruthenia who collude with the dwarves and betray the interests of our human race. ”
Pius VII ordered decisively.
Obviously, something similar has happened more than once. His rich experience in political struggles has made him skillfully decided.
……
Canglan City, after a simple renovation and renovation, the second arcane academy in the mainland with the mission of "pursuing the truth" began to enroll students.
The campus is contributed by the Liufeng family. Originally, it was their mansion in the royal capital, but the family has declined, and it is too eye-catching to continue to hold this kind of mansion.
Under normal circumstances, it is generally sold to the emerging nobles. However, Duke Liufeng is not a simple person, although he is a rookie in the war, he still has political struggle skills.
Against public opinion, the family's proposal to sell for cash was blocked. After mobilizing his family connections, he finally got the opportunity to donate to the Arcane Academy.
Without a doubt, this is a very cost-effective investment. The Arcane Academy, jointly established by the great forces of the kingdom, has been destined to be extraordinary since its birth.
】
Living in the mansion donated by the Liufeng family every day, if the academy doesn't take care of them, it can't be justified.
For the declining Liufeng family, the favor invested can save their lives at a critical moment.
From the open preparation to the completion of the college and the external enrollment, it took less than two months, and it was a proper alpha speed.
Attending the inauguration of the academy in person, Caesar IV had mixed feelings. thought that he could become the protagonist, but there were too many elders on the scene.
Distant uncles don't care for the time being, but what uncles, uncles, grandfathers, grandparents...... A bunch of old royal antiques have appeared.
The representatives sent by the other great nobles of the kingdom were also a group of old guys who were over 100 years old. These guys all have common characteristics, not only are they powerful, but they are also surprisingly high.
A group of old guys in their hundreds, busy reminiscing about the past, directly put the king Caesar IV aside, so that he, the king, had no cards at all.
Of course, this little depression is nothing. In the transcendent world, the immortality of old age also means that the heritage is profound. In the era of life expectancy of thirty or forty, no one who can live to be more than a hundred years old is weak.
It seems to be the groundbreaking ceremony of the Arcane Academy, but it is actually a show of strength to the outside world. Tell the outside world that the Alpha Kingdom is not in decline.
"Your Majesty, everything went well for the groundbreaking ceremony, this is not the style of the Holy See!"
The Archduke of Newfoundland said worriedly.
The last time the Arcane Academy in the Frankish Kingdom opened, it was attacked several times. If the Franks hadn't suppressed it fast enough, they would have almost broken out into an undead disaster.
It is claimed that it is a cult, but who in this room does not know that it is the handiwork of the Holy See!
It was so violent against the Frankish Kingdom, and when it came to the Alpha Kingdom, it suddenly became mild, which was obviously unreasonable.
"Perhaps it was the last defeat that allowed the Holy See to learn its lesson and abandon this senseless assassination.
But we still have to be vigilant, there are a bunch of crazy people in the Holy See, but they can do anything! ”
Caesar IV said uncertainly.
All irrational behavior, which is related to madness, can become understandable.
"Your Majesty, the silence of the Holy See may have something to do with their next move. By all indications, the Holy See is planning a war.
It is not yet possible to determine who the target will be. However, several of the main armies of the Holy See have entered the stage of preparation.
Not only the Holy See, but also the Kingdom of Dante and the Kingdom of the South Bank in the middle, the Kingdom of the Franks and the Kingdom of Libya in the south are all ready to move.
A hundred years have passed since the end of the last continental war. As has always been the case, the next continental war is just around the corner! ”
Count Francis said worriedly.
