Chapter 539 [The Big Wedding (2)]
Chapter 530 [The Big Wedding (2)]
In fact, when Char's wedding was put on the agenda again, the entire Northern Garrison group was excited and busy with the wedding of their young leader.
For a new group, the weakness of the Northern Army was that its roots were too shallow, and their leader, Char Leiming, was himself a little too young, and according to the tradition of the Byzantine Empire, if a man was married, had a wife and offspring, he could be mistaken as an important sign of maturity.
After Char Leiming got married, at least he could dilute the weakness of being too young.
In addition, for Char's wedding, in fact, there are some special "ideas" within the Northern Army.
You must know that when Char went to the imperial capital King Qin before, he asked Adric in public and got Adric's consent, almost the entire empire knew that Char Lei Ming would become Adric's future son-in-law.
This marriage seems to be a good thing: Adric is the emperor's minister, and Char is a young famous general in the empire, and the marriage between the two parties can be said to be a beautiful thing.
However, when it comes to the actual details, this matter is not so simple, but much more complicated!
In other words, the situation has changed a lot as the days have passed.
In this way, when Adric promised Char a marriage contract for his daughter, the news spread to the north, and most people in the northern army still agreed and sincerely supported it. After all, at that time, Char's garrison general had just sat down, and it would indeed be a very good thing to get a central boss like the Minister of War as a strong reinforcement in the central part of the imperial capital.
Moreover, Adric is Char's old boss, and there are many remnants of the original Rhodria cavalry, as well as some other remnants of the Central Army. And the internal generals of the Northern Army, such as Sharba, Cato and other old men of the former Rhodría cavalry corps, were also happy to see such a situation.
And those other officers, such as Green, such as Reinhardt and others, also had a favorable attitude.
However, with the passage of time, especially now, many people's attitudes have quietly undergone some subtle changes!
To put it bluntly, the Northern Garrison is already too powerful!
Yes, powerful, really powerful!
The soldiers are strong and strong, they own the land and population of the seven northern counties, they have soldiers, horses, money, food, and prestige, and they are completely independent of the control of the central empire!
When a force develops to such an extent, many people inside are afraid that their minds will inevitably be shaken.
Now even fools know that the Byzantine royal family is afraid that it is no longer able to return to heaven. At this time, the powerful princes and tycoons of the empire like Char and others are all candidates who are likely to become the people on the Supreme Throne in the future!
This is definitely no joke!
Char's power has developed to this day, and in the hearts of the people inside, I am afraid that many people have already embraced the idea of "independence". Anyway, from the beginning of its development, the Northern Army has never received the support of the central government of the empire, and it is completely Char who led everyone to work hard by himself. Now that the empire is in such a situation, if you think about it more deeply, one day in the future, maybe General Char will also live in Osgilia......"
At that time......"
Although many people don't say it, in everyone's opinion, the marriage contract between Char and Adric now may not be a good thing!
You must know that when the Northern Army develops to the current situation, the top priority is to make this force completely independent!
Whether it is from the root or the origin, the gang must become independent! Let the Northern Army be completely independent of the center of the empire!
In the past, through a series of military reorganizations, the traces of the original Central Army have been basically diluted, and a number of officers and generals with old qualifications of the Central Army have been cleansed internally, and at the same time, the establishment has been broken, and the traces of the Central Army have been completely erased.
And Adric ......, "He is the emperor's minister!"
Moreover...... "Char's current status can completely compete with Adric, and it will never be a star and a half lower! Even in terms of the comparison of forces, Char's northern army has already surpassed the power of the imperial capital in an all-round way!"
At this time, Char's marriage to Adric's daughter ...... has lost the meaning of "hugging a big tree" in the past.
And on the contrary, if Char marries Adric's daughter, it will make the independent Northern Army add a layer of traces of the "imperial capital".
It has finally become an independent northern military system, should it be reincorporated into the Adric department?
The people up and down inside have all kinds of thoughts, but no one can find out the meaning of this layer.
And at this time, Char's marriage became a breakthrough for everyone. !
Not long after the pacification of the Fourth Northern Military Region, Reinhardt, the new commander of the Independent Cavalry Regiment within the Northern Army, suddenly took the initiative to publicly write to Lord Xia Leiming, the commander of the Northern Army, urging Lord Char to get married!
Reinhardt's reason is very simple: Lord Char, you were going to get married a long time ago, and you have been talking about marriage for a year, but you have been delaying again and again, and every time you go, some abnormal circumstances have been delayed...... "And now, the situation is settled, the northern army is thriving, the internal and external stability is stable, and the situation is very goodMP - you can finally get married, right?"
It stands to reason that Char's marriage is his private affair, as a senior general in the Northern Army, a military commander, in the form of an official document to ask Char to complete the marriage, this is really a bit of a bad business. You are a general who is not good at manipulating the army and improving the combat effectiveness of the army, but you are concerned about the marriage of the commander, what is the matter?
But this situation is delicate, but it is subtle that after Reinhardt submitted the letter, Char's headquarters did not have time to approve it, in fact, the chief of staff, Sophie, deliberately withheld this approval for two days. Many other generals and leading officers in the Northern Army, after learning about Reinhardt's letter, suddenly all became gossipy, and for a while, military commanders of all levels in the army came to the book, urging Lord Char to get married early!
Many of them are quite fierce in their words, and some say that Char is dedicated to the country, and his life is too hard. Some people say that Lord Char is so selfish and impartial, and he can be called a model of the empire, and everyone in the army can't bear to see it. Others raised the height of Char's marriage to a major plan related to the survival of the northern army......"
For a while, there were many words, and the snowflakes of the petition flew to the high command.
Char laughed angrily.
Seeing that the officers and generals under his command are not doing their jobs properly, and they don't care about military drills, but they seem to have turned into matchmakers, worrying about their marriages all day long - the intentions of these guys, although the turtle pretends to be ignorant, but in fact, how can he not understand it in his heart?
He knew very well that some people headed by Reinhardt had written the book because they clearly hoped that they would draw a clear line of demarcation with the imperial capital, and that from now on, the Northern Army would be the Northern Army, and the imperial capital would be the imperial capital! If the Northern Army wanted to truly have a big pattern, it must remove all traces of external forces! The Northern Army must absolutely not be labeled as an "Adric system"! It should be a completely brand-new "Char Thundering System"!
These people, especially Reinhardt, had ambitions or ambitions in their hearts, and some, like Reinhardt, were pure and completely desperate for the center of the empire, pinning their hopes for the future of the empire on themselves and the northern army. There are also some people who write books, which is to make a stand to themselves, or to show loyalty!
At this time, everyone knew that Shangyushu asked Char to marry, which was to show loyalty to the Northern Army, that is, to swear allegiance to the independent group of the Northern Army.
Everyone else has written a book to ask for a wish, but if you don't do it, is it because you still secretly have a connection with the forces of the imperial capital? You are in the Northern Army, and your heart is still yearning for the emperor?
Therefore, for a while, those petitions were one after another, and the entire Northern Army seemed to be focusing all their attention on Char's marriage.
The only people who didn't write a petition were a handful of people.
Among the few people who didn't write a petition was the old mad dog Green.
Green is a loyal Empire man, and at the same time has a background in the Imperial Capital Military Academy, the Eagle Department. His loyalty to the empire was unshakable, and his prestige within the Northern Army was also extremely high, and his silence made many people speculate.
Even many people think in their hearts that General Green just doesn't want to see Char become an independent prince in the north!
In addition, those who did not have a petition included Sharpa, and Kato, the head of the Logistics Department of the Northern Army.
Shalba and Cato were both old men of the original Rodria Cavalry Corps, and both were once from Adric's personal guard. Emotionally, they should be the most inclined to Adric, and they also want to see Char marry the daughter of their old boss.
Therefore, these two people did not have any real political intentions, but they were completely emotional.
Even, some of the subordinates around Sharba and Cato have quietly hinted that it was best to write a letter to ask for a wish to show their loyalty. Both of them have the same attitude: the loyalty of the old man does not need to be shown by this kind of petition.
What makes people speculate even more is Char's own attitude.
In the face of so many petitions, the headquarters did not make any approval, at first it was deliberately done by Sophie's chief of staff, but later, Char never expressed his position, so this attitude is thought-provoking.
In fact, no one can completely guess the concerns in Char's heart.
Marry the poor worm, that is Char's absolute willingness. No matter in the past or now, Char's feelings for the poor worm have never wavered.
However, ...... "In today's situation, his marriage has caused a political turmoil within the group, which is not what Char wants to see."
Now, he does have a bit of ambition - this is normal, no matter who has such an absolutely powerful power as him, he will have some thoughts that he has never had before, not to mention, Char himself has no loyalty to the royal family of the Byzantine Empire, and loyalty to the royal family is a to him, and instead, it just depends on the mood of his turtle lord.
However, he would never want to hurt the poor worm! If it weren't for the poor worm Adeline, Char would have been eager to cut down that Garcia Emperor with a single sword!
In addition, there is another very important reason: he can ignore the opinions of others, but, in any case, the opinions of the crazy dog Green, as well as the opinions of the two old brothers who work together Sharba and Kato, he must pay attention!
So, Char fell silent when he saw Green and Sharbakato silent.
Finally, he quietly wrote a letter to Green.
There is only one sentence in this letter: What do you think about my marriage?
To put it bluntly, Char didn't want to give Green room for ambiguity, and he didn't give himself leeway.
And Green's reply came quickly: when the knot is the end!
The meaning of this is not easy to understand. But after Char thought for a while, he understood what Green meant: Although Green did not support it, he did not oppose it, in a word: You can do it yourself, I don't care.
Knowing Green's position, Char's communication with his two old brothers was much easier.
Char got a barrel of good wine and directly invited the two brothers who had lived and died together, and the three of them drank happily, and Char bluntly talked about his marriage at the wine table. Sharba and Cato also made no secret of their opinions: You Char has promised to marry Lord Adric's daughter, but now you are going to marry another woman Although that woman is a poor worm, we all know each other, but after all, you have an agreement with Lord Adric, the Lord has cultivated you, and you are our common superior, and you are breaking the contract now, which is a bit unauthentic.
Char immediately said that it was one thing for him to marry the poor worm, but he had no intention of returning to the marriage agreed with Adric. In fact, that is to say: the old man is married to the poor worm now, and it is not that he will not marry Adric's daughter in the future, but it is a big deal that the old man will marry together.
Sharba and Cato were immediately relieved, and then the two immediately patted their chests and made some reassurances.
Cato said that he would definitely take out a dozen barrels of good wine from his private cellar and use them for Char's wedding banquet - it can be seen that Cato, the director of the logistics department who was a smuggler, really does not change his demeanor and can always get good things.
And Sharpa immediately slapped the table, saying that Char got married, and he had to be the best man, otherwise he would have to duel with Char.
The three brothers got drunk and broke up.
So this big wedding is about to enter the agenda!
At a time when the entire Northern Army Group was busy and excited about preparing for the wedding of their commander, there was still one person in the entire Northern Army, who kept an unusually low profile.
And this person is ......"
Nene.
※※※
The city of Denzel was lit up with lights, and everyone brought out all the good things they had used to prepare for the New Year's celebrations in advance. Even the soldiers in the city put on their newly issued uniforms, carrying polished axes and guns, and the soldiers on duty in the city all held their heads high, trying to make a heroic appearance.
In the cavalry camp outside the city, the cavalry were transferred out for the training of the honor guard.
At this time, not many people noticed the abnormality of another senior officer of the cavalry regiment, Miss Nene.
Nene rode alone outside the city, she galloped on the wilderness outside the city, galloping to her heart's content, letting the wind blow her hair away, and a stream of cold breath was sucked from her mouth into her lungs, and the cold in her heart pierced her heart more and more bitter.
The news that Char is going to get married has been spread several times over the past year, but this time, it seems that it is really going to happen. This time, it seems that there is nothing to stop Char from holding the wedding.
Within the Northern Army, it is not for nothing that Miss Nene knows that General Char belongs, on the contrary, there are not many people who don't know.
Everyone knows this, and at that time, it's best not to mention Char's marriage to Nene and not even talk to Nene about it.
Nene's face was full of gloom, she still made a cold appearance in front of people, but only by running outside the city for a while can she vent the depression in her heart slightly.
Yes, he's getting married!
It seems that his thoughts have never been in vain, and he has never received the slightest response.
Is it his own appearance? God knows, he used to be beautiful too! But because of that plum stick, "he made himself the ugly one he is now!" but, "but Merlin also seems to be trying to protect his true identity?"
And Char ......, "Does he really dislike his appearance?"
But it seems that it is not.
Lord Char had some peculiar aesthetics for women before, which was not a secret in the Northern Army, and it seemed that "Char really never disliked his appearance."
But ...... "He still doesn't like me!"
In his heart, there really has never been me in his heart!
Even though I followed him with all my heart, even though I abandoned my inheritance and defected to him with my brothers!
Outside of Denzel, there is a small river. This small river did not exist before, but after the end of the war, a ditch was dug outside the city of Denzel, and a small river was brought in.
The place is very remote, but Nene loves it here, because there is no one here, no one will see the sad expression on her face, no one will hear her grumbling sigh, no one will go to ...... "I found her secretly crying here!"
Sitting by the river, she looked out at the water, the calm of which reflected her face like a mirror. That ugly face, even she couldn't help but look sideways when she saw it herself.
It's ...... such a look, what man would fall in love with me?
Nene suddenly pulled out a short knife, grabbed his hair, and was about to cut it off...... "Yes, just let the idea in your heart fantasize, and with this hair, cut it in two..."
Just as Nenei's knife was about to fall, suddenly, a soft laugh came from behind her.
The laughter was peaceful, and there seemed to be a light smell like the morning breeze.
Nene Huo Ran turned around, and saw a figure, standing just over ten steps behind him.
The man was dressed in a black robe, tightly wrapped, and his figure was slender and slightly thin—this was a woman, and although the robe covered her whole body, the curves of her body still showed off on full display.
Nene has never seen a woman with such a good body!
Although she looked a little thin, although her robe covered her whole body tightly, she stood there as a whole person, like a willow on the bank of a river in summer, fluttering gently, but it looked so natural, without a trace of artificiality.
The woman stood there, smiling at Nene, who didn't seem to be outstanding compared to her figure, but those eyes, but they were bright and moving, like a cold star on a winter night, and Nene had never seen a woman's eyes look so good!
This woman was standing there, her appearance did not seem to tell her age, and it was okay to say that she was twenty, or that she was thirty.
And what made Nene pay more attention was that this woman's long black hair was squeezed, whether it was the Byzantine Empire or Odin or Lantis, people who squeezed black hair were always rare.
It was such a seemingly ordinary but very peculiar woman, standing there quietly, looking at Nene and smiling, and then saying a word softly. "The hair is cut off, and it has to grow again, but it will take a long, long time, and you don't regret it. ”
Let's talk about something, please take a look.
I was out of the hospital the night before yesterday, had a day off at home yesterday, and returned to work today, updating this chapter.
In fact, I have been very nervous and even a little scared in my heart for the past few days.
I had a thing in my nose, this time I was hospitalized and had an operation to remove it, I was very nervous, afraid that it was a malignant thing, fortunately, the pathological results came out to be benign, but the doctor told me that this thing is easy to recur, to a long time of observation and regular reexamination, and I am very nervous, in short, I have been really depressed and cursed recently.
Alas, God willing, after this operation, this thing will not recur and not change again.
Hehe, everyone also help me pray that this thing will not recur, thank you~,
