Chapter 101: The Supreme Throne
"Wren, Will, after the new batch of young men enlist, the descendants will serve as officers, and the rest will be screened by yourself, and the food and ordnance will be escorted by Wren's department, and the troops will be ready in the next few days." Jiang Yuan gave up a bit of autonomy.
"Understood." The two replied in unison.
After a simple order, Jiang Yuan went to the bedroom to change his dress, three battalions are one school, three schools are one army, plus the guards, the standard number of troops that the imperial general can command is 10,000 people, but now no one cares about the excess.
There were several types of dresses commonly used in the northern part of the empire, the most popular of which were the refined hunting suits, which had a simple military uniform-like feel, and high-top leather boots that helped to walk and keep warm in the snow in winter, a remnant of the martial culture of the Zhongxing era.
Jiang Yuan's black hunting suit has the heraldic pattern of the Tius family, and the silk thread is taken from the fur of the dangerous species, which has a slight anti-cutting effect.
When he came out, the red pupil had been waiting for a long time, the black dress, the shoulders and thighs were wrapped in fabric, and the necklace was not worn, because the collar was too high and unnecessary.
"Father let me." Red Hitomi was quite surprised by the staring, and simply explained.
"I kind of approve of him." Jiang Yuan couldn't help but nod secretly, he quite agreed with Tius's decision, there was naturally nothing wrong with the girl showing beauty, but with the current environment of the empire, it was still exempt.
The two of them got into the carriage outside the castle, Jiang Yuan did not refuse the accompanying escort arranged by the earl, although these people can provide little combat power, but they can reduce a lot of trouble, at least they will not be stopped outside the door and unable to enter.
It was more than a dozen miles from the Earl's Castle to the county town, and the early winter scenery along the way was already visible, and the leaves of the hardy plants in the Northland had fallen in large quantities, and according to the guards, this year was noticeably colder than usual.
The great cold wave is coming, the grain production is reduced, and the difficulty of the people to survive the winter increases, and the celestial phenomenon may become the unveiling of the withdrawal of the royal family from the stage of history.
Jiang Yuan pondered the Supreme Throne, which was the original and strongest imperial tool, which only the emperor's bloodline could control, and the founder was able to forge the iron wall that guarded the imperial family with the alchemy of the peak era and the power of the entire empire.
He wasn't sure if the Dead Man's March, Hachifang, would be able to manipulate the Emperor's bloodline to take control of the Supreme Throne, and if the Founder was wise enough, the other party should be able to take these loopholes into account and leave a mysterious substance in the Heir's Bloodline that was enough to resist the influence, but there was another possibility, that is, the Founder thought of it but couldn't.
Jiang Yuan does not intend to pin his hopes on the loss of the founders, although this possibility does exist.
Therefore, verification is required.
Emperor Gu One Slash Kill Village Rain is a demon knife, specially born to kill, the specific manifestation is that abrasion is death, curse poison will enter the body along the wound, there is no antidote for thousands of years, and death is extremely fast.
If Murayu's curse damage can be effective against the Imperial Family, then Hachibo is probably the same.
Jiang Yuan looked at the little girl who was in a daze on the other side, the demon knife village rain belonged to the red pupil in the future, and now this knife was in the hands of the strongest assassin in the empire, Gozqi.
After the winter hunt, he has to go to the imperial capital to verify it, and it is best to push Gozqi to kill the prince, which is related to the ultimate goal - only by ascending to the throne can he get enough starlight in this world where information is slow to spread.
The war was won, Earnest attacked, the war was lost, Murley counterattacked, and the real succession to the throne had to wait for the end of the war no matter what.
"Uncle, what are you thinking?"
Red Hitomi was stared at a little uncomfortably, this was the second time today, and when the other party looked at her, she noticed it.
"I'm thinking about what I can eat in the evening." Jiang Yuan's eyes were focused, what he had to think about at the moment was winter hunting, and he always had to take it step by step.
Red Eyes: "......"
It's so perfunctory, she doesn't believe it.
In the evening, when the carriage entered the county, the red pupil lifted a small curtain, and the streets were deserted, the doors and windows of the shops were closed, and the occasional officer passing by on horseback and a group of drunken soldiers could be seen.
"Uncle."
"The soldiers came and that's it, they didn't go directly to the house to rob because the army needed Berkshire to maintain the supply line, and the generals and colonels probably had an explanation, and Taishou had a good relationship with Ones, and the second army of the center and the main general's headquarters were not easy to do, because they were a camp, and now it was a critical period."
"What if it were another county?"
"The four fortress counties are estimated to be fine, many families over there have served in the army for generations, and the 150,000 elite border troops are very deterrent, but according to your father's information, two cities in Lanhai County have been ransacked, first the soldiers, then the people who lost order, and finally the other nobles."
The specific situation Jiang Yuan did not describe, the restlessness accumulated by the long march, the clear dissent reached by taking the opportunity, etc., there are many reasons, the nobles of Lanhai County sent 20,000 troops, which greatly exceeded expectations, indicating that the main general made a deal with some local people, and it was not a top bad event such as slaughtering the city and setting fire, this period would hardly have much impact on the main general, and all the forces were concerned about the outcome of the war.
"Will we do the same in the future?" Red Hitomi asked in a low voice.
"No, it won't." Jiang Yuan flipped through the pages of alchemy notes, "I expect more people, my father is very ambitious, he wants more war potential, we have different reasons for treating the people, but we all attach more importance to it, as a valuable wealth, it is a stupid and unbearable thing to be wasted meaninglessly."
Your father lowered the territorial tax this year, although the cost is that there are a lot of moths, but the overall environment is still a lot more relaxed, this winter is very difficult, there will be a lot of homeless people in the north of the country, they will be attracted to the territory in the spring of the next year, we have formulated the terms of the land lease, for a period of thirty years, the effect should be somewhat. ”
"Then if the land is distributed directly, there will be a lot of displaced people." Red Hitomi couldn't help but ask.
"Red pupils." Jiang Yuan closed the note with a serious face, "Before you prepare everything, don't expose your thoughts of sacrificing the interests of the class, directly distributing land will make us lose the support of the subordinate nobles and knights, and the aliens are destined to be challenged by the convention." ”
"I don't understand." Red Hitomi replied blankly.
"Your mission tonight is to eat enough and then help me out of some trouble." Jiang Yuan said that the baron who controls the strength of a school is already considered to be a real power, and some noble ladies can't tell the difference between elite and miscellaneous fish, and besides, the news of the appearance of the emperor's envoy in the Tius family has spread far and wide, if he doesn't have a red pupil, he may have to waste a lot of words.
"Oh, I understand this, my uncle is very handsome, leave it to me when the time comes." Red Hitomi patted her chest.
Jiang Yuan took the initiative to shake hands with the little girl, it seems that this guy will not end Estes in the future for no reason, he has been a pillar since he was a child.
