1684 In the Name of the Falcon (2)
The carriage traveled in the dark night, the lights on the side of the road flickered from the window one by one like a phantom, the Duke of Putao sat in the carriage with a solemn expression, his eyes looked at the street outside, it was late at night, most of the neighborhoods of the port were quiet, only a few people who hurried by at night were still walking on the streets, but in the new port of Atanis, about three kilometers north of the old port, the buildings built were very new and tall, the golden carriage of the Duke of Putao passed through the main street of the port that was ten miles long, and turned into a three-way intersection,
The scene in front of me suddenly lit up, and the whole street was full of people,
"That's it!" the Duke of Putao raised his hand and knocked on the door, the carriage stopped, and looked ahead, the streets of the outer district of the port that had just finished resting were full of taverns with all kinds of signs, and the shops were full of dazzling people, and the most attractive thing was the tavern and attic where they stood, and the delicate girls dressed in fancy clothes, where they were coquettish, and exerted the deadliest provocative movements on every man who passed.
"Lord Duke, are you going to come and pick you up tonight?" asked the coachman, turning back respectfully
"No, as before, come back at dawn!, if I'm not dead," Duke Putao shook his head with a wry smile on his lips, picked up the gray wolf fur cloak on the carriage chair and draped it over his body, and walked out of the door, a fragrant wind wafted in,
This is the red light district of Stannik Port in the southwestern province of the Falcon Empire, the door is open, the duke wearing a gray fur shawl coat gets off the carriage, the sound of women boiling is heard everywhere, and the Duke of Putao looks monkey and hurriedly walks into one of the richly decorated attics,
"It's a charming place indeed! It's a pity, as a puppet, you can enjoy it one more time! Go back to Gangfei, you're not a duke! or even the status of a prisoner, it's hard to get it" The coachman raised his head the moment Duke Putao entered. The cold gaze paused on the duke's eastern back, and the corners of his mouth twitched disdainfully,
He is the duke's coachman, but he is also the eyeliner arranged by the duke's side.
This time, because Duke Putao angered a governor of the Falcon Empire, he was forced by the military to run to the Falcon Empire and personally apologize to the Falcon Empire. thought that the Grand Duke of Putao was humiliated by the envoy of the empire, and directly rejected the Duke of Putao's audience, and claimed to continue to carry out, and even said that he would wave his army south, and he would not stop until the city of Gangfei Kyoto, which made the Ministry of Military Affairs of Gangfei anxious.
The agreement was finally signed, and the death of more than 100,000 soldiers was not asked, and the fierce reaction to the war in the country of Congo and Africa was just suppressed. The Ministry of Military Affairs is waiting for the Falcon Empire to withdraw its troops from the northern border.
As a result, the Falcon Empire suddenly repented, disrupting the rhythm of the Ministry of Military Affairs to report to His Majesty the Emperor, and he was not a foreign affairs negotiator. When he angrily left the Falcon Empire and returned to Gangfei to report, he had already given a death order to the Grand Duke of Putao, if you can't get the reception of His Majesty the Falcon, you will die in the Falcon Empire!
Grand Duke Putao suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. finally had the opportunity to get rid of the surveillance of Gang Feiren, and the other side also felt a chill, he was for Gang Feiren. It's so worthless
Soon, he got the exact news, the secret place to see the return, the choice of the port of Tannik 116, for such a location, the Grand Duke of Putao, after a little investigation, not only did not express dissatisfaction, but showed full admiration, amazing!
Because it is the famous red light district of the port, the Grand Duke of Putao arrived here ten days ago, nominally full of ambition, looking for a place to vent, and the prosperity in front of him really shocked him, if it is not confirmed by countless people, he really can't imagine that this long and prosperous street area was still a quiet sandy place two months ago,
Here he learns about a falcon empire that he never knew about,
The policy of the empire gave the port area very free political and economic policies, and even gave them full freedom in the formulation of local laws, which brought about the rapid expansion and rapid development of the region, but also brought about the spiritual emptiness and degeneration of some people's lives. Most of these workers were from the empire itself, the northwest, and even the cold regions of the north
The tide of doing business, before the southwesterners have fully sobered up, has quickly impacted the southwesterners' thinking and vision, the empire's countless resources and financial investments, like the convergence of the sea towards the densely populated southwest, the southwest already has a long coastline, excellent harbors, dense population, potential manufacturing, here is becoming the falcon empire to the entire obaro continent business circle impact foothold, here is not a lonely northwest coast, but the intersection of the east, west, north and south of the transit point
The merchant fleet came from the northwest, and the horse fleet traveled from the southwest day and night to all directions.
Under this impact, the port area of the southwest and the road center of the interior are fast becoming the busiest area in the southwest, the red light district of the port of Stanjuk, which is not visible during the day, and at night, the light that illuminates half of the city seems to light the clouds over the city
In the middle of the night, it suddenly rained in the sky, and people who were still looking for joy walked to both sides to avoid the rain, and the women under the attic worked harder, they could not only move their mouths, but also pull and pull the men they liked, and every male who had ever lived since then could not escape their harassment, so many men who were not strong enough were able to melt their bones in the soft words, quietly disappeared into the room next to them, but not all,
There were also a few men dressed in black, and they stopped at the foot of an attic at the fork in the street, "This is the place you chose! It's really unique!" One of them took a deep breath, put down the black hat to block the rain, and the person showed a slightly chubby white face, narrowed into a line, and swept through the gorgeous attic full of dozens of red lamps all over the street with a little surprise, and there were all kinds of male and female laughter inside, and at the door of the attic, there were more than a dozen beautiful figures of warblers and swallows in revealing clothes. Beckoning in this direction, it's too obvious, red light district!
"Your Majesty, this is a complete misunderstanding!" A handsome young man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old next to him replied with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect such a big change here, I knew it would become like this, I didn't dare to arrange the location here!"
"Forget it, at least it's much more comfortable than me in the wilderness!" the fat man patted the water stain on his shoulder, retracted his gaze from the group of beautiful women in the distance, and said with a little teasing, "I am hungry and cold on the border between Gangfei and Africa. What I see the most every day is the wind blowing the weeds, even if you want to have some fun, that is, to accompany the Dongting people to brag and look at the stars overhead, Dustrenkai, you have nothing to do here! Not to mention self-sufficiency, there is such a place to enjoy, if you don't know in advance. I can't believe it's an out-of-port area for the Imperial Navy!"
"My lord, I usually stay on the side of the military port! I basically never set foot in these chaotic outer areas, which is why there is such a deviation!" Dustrenkai hurriedly looked ugly. In fact, it has only been less than half a month since he led the main force of the navy from Kasily Island back to the military port in the southwest, and it is also the first time he has set foot in such a place.
Received an order from His Majesty the Falcon. When he learned that he needed to find a secret meeting place in the harbor, he immediately thought of it, and absolutely no one would have thought of it. Someone will arrange the meeting place in the bustling port area, which is a new area that has expanded from the port area of the southwestern military port of Stanley.
Following the outline of the original port, you will enter an inner bend area to the north, with sparkling waters on the outside and several lofts on the inside, with excellent views, which were formerly a small port held by the local aristocracy as a family use, and a large area of open space has not been developed.
But since the southwest was included in the empire, the commercial wave from the direction of the big sea city quickly hit the entire southwest coastal area, and the geographical advantage of Steinecker was only used as an old port for the navy, and it became insufficient at this time, although the military port has a sufficient area, but it is mainly for warships of huge tonnage, and merchant ships do not have the right to enter the military port.
A large number of merchant ships that need to dock can only be moored outside the port in rows, making the sea look crowded.
To solve this problem,
At the end of June, the Imperial Admiralty, which had settled on the southwest coast, applied to His Majesty Falcon for the establishment of a commercial area and a commercial port in the outer area of the Stannik Naval Port, the center of gravity on the southwest coast, mainly for the purpose of berthing merchant fleets and maintaining the daily flow of supplies in and out of the military port.
The construction of these areas is completely supported by private investment.
If this pilot is successful, the fat man is also considering that it can be promoted to other military ports, according to Dustrenkay, the daily maintenance of naval warships is very expensive, and new warships are added every year, which is a heavy burden on the empire's finances, in this case, why not use the influence of the navy in the coastal area to drag the construction of the entire port area, which can not only reduce the burden on the empire's finances, but also drive the economy of the coastal areas, increase the financial revenue for the empire, and make the southwest coast, which was once ravaged by the Gangnon navy, prosperous again,
For this construction, the fat man signed to agree, but the speed of development in front of him was completely unexpected, the first time he set foot here, he looked at the continuous lights in front of him, and even had a trace of illusion, it was really unimaginable, this row of attic land, a month ago, was still a barren sandy land,
Dustrunkai looked at the fat man's somewhat blue face, and quickly explained" The naval fleet docked here, there were a lot of sailors, and there were thousands of sailors from the merchant fleet from all over the country, the caravans that came and went every day, the convoys that came and went to and from the land transport, could not be counted, the men held back in this regard for a long time, and their tempers were very bad, if there was no place to vent, the subordinates were worried that there would be problems, and it was for this consideration that I would agree to set up such an area in the area outside the port, but I didn't expect that it would develop to such a journey in just one month, it was simply ......" "It's a miracle! Really?"
The fat man glared at his Admiral, "Such a large red light district appears ten miles away from the Admiralty Military Headquarters, if you use the lookout glass, thousands of warblers are turning around in front of you, it is very pleasing to the eye!
"Your Majesty, in fact, this is just a kind of equipment needed by the military port," Dustronik's face turned red with grievance. Boldly said, "Equipment?" The fat man was stunned, women are also military equipment!
Dustrunkai said, "Your Majesty, soldiers are also human beings, and they also have normal desires and needs, and this demand cannot be avoided, and the army side is good to say, the areas bordered by war are full of displaced people, for money, for food. The women who sell their bodies for life are even more innumerable, some are voluntary, some are forced, as long as they are willing to spend money, there will never be fewer women, even if they are good-looking aristocratic women, there are no longer a few, but the sailors of the naval fleet are different, and the fleet cruises at will on the lonely sea. It is more than half a month to go back and forth, and if you encounter a transportation task, it is common to run back and forth between the two continents and drift at sea for a month. A normal man would be anxious, not to mention a soldier whose blood is already higher than that of ordinary people, which is also the reason why the port has the most red light districts! A port without a red light district, no one will dock! Let alone make the local area prosperous! As the commander of the Imperial Navy fleet. Minister of the Admiralty, although I know that His Majesty may not like to hear it, I still have to say a fair word for the tens of thousands of Imperial Navy!"
"Looks like you're really mature!"
The fat man looked with his head down. But Dustrunkai, who had a resolute face, unexpectedly slowly dissipated the anger on his face, and took a deep breath, "In fact, the Ministry of Supervision has long reported that there is a red light district in the naval port, and many captains and officers are frequent visitors to these red light districts. As the Minister of the Navy, it is good to be able to take care of his subordinates, but the combat effectiveness of the fleet must be guaranteed, and if one day, I hear that a problem arises because of this kind of thing among the fleet officers, he will certainly die, and your Dustrenkai's head will definitely hang together!"
"Yes, Your Majesty understands!" Dustrenkai nodded with beads of sweat on his head, knowing that he had escaped a fateful choice,
"Lead the way!116 Tannik Harbor, such an address, I really don't know what you think!" the fat man snorted, waved his hand, and put his hood on again,
In the distance, a beautiful girl wearing a petal skirt and dressed as a wandering warbler leaned alone in a corner, and her eyes just saw the fat man's hooded hand, and a shining ring flashed through her blue pupils, almost not opening her eyes to the limit,
What a big ruby!
The girl's mouth opened slightly, her eyes were fixed on her fingers, although it was only a faint light at the fork, but the red luster that belonged to the expensive gem could be clearly seen from a distance of more than ten meters, she was born in the aristocracy, although the family withered in the Southwest Rebellion, but her own vision was definitely not low, she had already noticed these strange people, the fat man in the middle should be the core of the inside, and every move had a taste of nobility, and the other people should be guards
She is not a real wandering warbler, but belongs to the kind of person who mixes in the wandering warbler and takes the opportunity to do something deceitful.
This kind of thing similar to the fairy jump, is very common on this street, there are always people who like to be cheap, and this girl is very confident in her appearance, although she is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she is from a noble family, her temperament is not bad, a little makeup, it is a different kind of charm, so that many veterans will be moved, but it is a pity that a few people on the opposite side stood there for more than ten minutes, especially the fat man, as if he was blind, for himself to put on several tempting postures, it seems that he is completely invisible,
In her eyes, this fat man, a super fat sheep, she can't just let it go, on this street, in addition to herself, there are other people who are also staring here, at least there are three who passed by just now, but they just saw themselves standing here, and they didn't make a move for a while, everyone's eyes were bright
A fat sheep with such a bright appearance will not take a few minutes for the whole street to know,
There are too many such people, they are all children of some aristocratic and wealthy families, or they are particularly arrogant and domineering, and they wish the whole street knew about him, or they are like this stupid fat man in front of them, shy and shy and even take a step forward will feel red, and such people are also the best to succeed, such people are often from high aristocracy, for the sake of face, even if they lose something, they dare not make a noise, the girl can feel that there are at least a dozen eyes on the whole street with these few people moving, no one is moving, because there is no one who has not come out for an interview
"This little brother, do you need the most refreshing service, the price is absolutely fair, and it is guaranteed to make you have endless memories!"
Finally, someone couldn't help it, it was a gorgeous-looking woman, wearing a close-fitting leather hunting suit, a pair of tall legs, from one end of the street, twisting the thin waist that looked like it was going to be broken at any time, leaning over with two dimples that were obsessed with people who didn't lose money, a pair of big watery eyes, and threw a wink at the fat man in the middle who thought he was the most charming, "Bastard, it's Anji Oro, this slut!"
The girl's eyes were clenched with fists, and her pretty eyes were suddenly full of hatred, Anji Oro is the most famous master on this street, not only coquettish, but also willing to sacrifice, generally as long as he makes a move, few men can resist,
And behind this woman, it is said to be a very terrible force, unlike herself, who is reluctant to use her body as bait, and does not have much to rely on.
Just when everyone was looking at Angio walking towards the target, and the stupid fat man seemed to have an interested expression, a graceful figure suddenly blocked in front of the fat man, "Angie Oro, go away" The one who spoke was an extremely tall woman, with long purple hair draped over her shoulders, and a gentle and lovely voice, but the voice was cold to the bone marrow, "Who can be provoked, who cannot be provoked, are your eyes blind?"
"Miss Filin, you...... Why are you here!" Angie Oro's body trembled slightly, and the expression on his face just now turned into a trace of fear (to be continued......
