Chapter 479 [The Responsibility of the Local Aristocrats]

Panin has always been a very straightforward person.

After taking over the military affairs of the northwest, the newly appointed governor was disobedient to himself, and he was directly arrested and thrown back to the imperial capital!

The undercurrent of the officer in Thor's whip surged, and he grabbed it and broke his leg in public and threw it back to the imperial capital!

Panin knew exactly what he relied on. He didn't rely on the hearts of the people who worked hard to run the province, and he didn't care if the official groups here welcomed him, and he didn't care about the generals of the Rollin family line in Thor's Whip secretly gnashing their teeth at him.

He only knows that his biggest reliance is that he can work hard in the northwest to hold military and political power, and the only capital to say is that the emperor supports himself!

As long as the emperor supports himself, then all these bullshit voices can be completely ignored, and these objections can be bullished in the most straightforward and direct way!

Panin didn't have the time or the interest to slowly play tricks to convince people's hearts - it's not that Panin, who was born in a family, didn't know how to play this set, but he didn't bother to play at all.

But since I have a battering ram in my hand, why waste time playing that kind of water mill kung fu that penetrates people's hearts bit by bit? Just hit the hammer and sweep it over, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die!

He is not afraid that the local officials of the province will not cooperate!

Shiloh finally decided to send himself to the northwest, and there was also a potential implication that he wanted to subdue Endeavor Province, an "enclave" for the center of the empire. If the officials of these places really dare to challenge their own authority, challenge a great man personally chosen by the emperor to run to subdue the place.

Then with Shiloh's temperament. Definitely wouldn't mind trying to save a purge on the line!

As for Thor's Whip...... They better be obedient!

Otherwise, if the officers and generals of the Rollin family in the army dare to mess around...... Then it is definitely challenging the most sensitive nerve in Shiloh's heart!

There is already a tulip family in the northwest! If it is the thunder whip of two divisions. Even the special commissioner appointed by the emperor himself did not move, but only looked at the military minister Akerma.

Panin bets that if this situation occurs, then Shiloh will definitely send someone to make peace with Tulip Price as soon as possible, and then use thunderous means to deal with Aker!

He tried his best to usurp the throne and seize power, and finally became the supreme of the empire, not to become anyone's puppet!

With this level of enlightenment. Therefore, Panin's actions in the northwest can be described as a big open, vigorous and resolute! Even Panning knows very well in his heart that the more he offends people in the northwest, the more reassuring Shiloh will be about himself!

If he slowly retracts the hearts of the army and the people in a gentle drizzle, then Shiloh will be jealous of himself.

Anyway, his family foundation is in the Wangcheng Guard, and Panin has no intention of staying in the northwest as a warlord for the rest of his life, nor does he plan to show his power in the Thunder God's Whip at all. He didn't plan to turn these two elite divisions of the empire into his own descendants.

Aker, who is in the imperial capital, is also very smart...... He also did not want to give Emperor Shiloh the impression that "Thor's Whip is Aker's descendant".

Therefore, Panin's cleansing of Thor's whip and a series of actions were recognized by Aker in the imperial capital.

All the officers who were asked to be transferred from Thor's Whip by Panin, the military headquarters immediately issued an order to agree to the transfer.

It can be said that Panin has a very clear planning idea for the whole picture.

The only thing he hadn't thought of. It's the Northwest Fortress!

He didn't expect that the woman of the Tulip family would dare to play so crazy and dare to throw out the border gateway of a huge empire so casually!

In Panin's view, this is simply a child's gambling practice, and the tulip family seems to be suing the world. Especially the emperor who told the emperor in the imperial capital: For the past one hundred and forty years, we have been guarding the northwest border of the empire for you! Now you dare to deal with us. Then we'll leave it at that!

In his bones, Paning actually retains a considerable part of the military color, and for him, such things as defending the border for the country and defending the country should not be used as bargaining, let alone as a political bargaining chip.

So Panin has a headache!

After learning the news that the Tulip family's troops had withdrawn from the Northwest Fortress, Panin immediately wanted to move north and firmly control the northwest defense line of the empire in his own hands - to be fair, Panin's idea was not actually mixed with any selfishness, he really just wanted to ensure the safety of the empire's borders out of the consideration of an emperor.

But that woman from the Tulip family, a letter drove Panin into a corner!

If you dare to go north, I will go east!

Such wording made Panin angrily smash the study to pieces!

He hadn't been so angry since he came to the Northwest!

But after the outburst, Panin still didn't dare to move the army casually - the woman of the Tulip family had already proved one thing to everyone with practical actions: she could play things crazy!

If she transferred troops north to take over the border, maybe such a woman would really dare to move east to cross the border!

In that case, the explosion of civil war will no longer be avoidable!

Panning thought about it for a long time and made a decision that made him very helpless.

He wrote a letter, and then sent one of his family's right-hand men who had followed him to the northwest to deliver the letter to the city of Rova in the north.

This letter was sent to Chen Daolin.

Speaking of the relationship between Paning and Chen Daolin, it is naturally very complicated. The relationship between the two seems to be friend and foe, and the previous hostility seems to have eased when they were in the imperial capital, because of the appearance of their mutual friend Ross. And on the night of the coup d'état in the imperial capital, it seems that the two are on opposite sides again.

This time in the northwest, Panin of course knew that Darling Chan was also here—the ridiculous religious group he had set up in Rova City was a joke to Panin.

With just 10,000 people, what movement can be tossed?

However, it was the woman of the Tulip family. But he lost such an important place as the Northwest Fortress to Darling Chen.

Panin had to make a decision. He lowered his arrogant head and tried to seek the possibility of communication and even cooperation with this "old friend" of his own.

If he could, Panin was even willing to seconded a small number of troops to Chen Daolin—he only wanted to ensure the safety of the northwest fortress.

In any case, the orcs must not be allowed to set foot in the territory of the empire - this is the bottom line in Panin's heart.

He was even ready to provide military assistance to Chen Daolin, whether it was weapons, equipment, or even food, he was ready to bleed.

However. The messenger sent to Rova returned with bad news.

He hadn't even seen the face of the Darling Chancellor magician.

He was greeted by an old man named Pierre.

Panin had carefully investigated Chen Daolin's team, and he knew that the old man named Pierre was a country nobleman of the empire, because he had committed a crime, he was involved in the case of an attack on a local garrison, abandoned his home and title, and followed that guy.

The old man used to be a baron. And the ability is also very good.

Pierre said in his heart that he was personally very flattered by General Panin's kindness, and believed that the whole group would be moved by General Panin's high righteousness - but he had no right to decide whether or not to accept General Panin's kindness. Because he has no right to call the shots.

"It's all nonsense. Panin's face was gloomy, and he threw the letter in his hand into a ball and threw it directly into the corner: "Why didn't Darling Chen see you?"

"I heard that the magician seems to have been there for many days. My people have been wandering there for many days and have heard a lot of information, but most of it is worthless information. I guess. The magician may not be at home at all, he may be out. ”

Look at this loyal family henchman. Panin pondered for a moment - he trusted this subordinate very much, and the people he could choose to bring to the northwest were all thoughtful and safe people. Panin doesn't need those fierce generals who dare to fight and kill - he is!

"How's the situation at the Northwest Fortress?"

Panin asked the question that was most of his concern.

The subordinate's answer made Panin's heart relax a little.

"Those men formed a cavalry corps and then patrolled the country every day. They were not strong enough to defend all the fortresses, so they seem to have abandoned the perimeter altogether in favor of patrolling. However, I have heard that they are already expanding their army, and one army has been training in the barracks. As for the north of the border...... For the time being, I haven't received any unusual news from the orcs. ”

Panin sighed, but his expression was still not good-looking: "There is no abnormality now, it does not mean that there will be no abnormality in the future." Sooner or later, those orcs will move - once they move, the movement will never be small! The Northwest Fortress has suppressed them for more than a hundred years, so many orcs have broken their brains and have not opened this fortress, but now it has become completely unguarded in front of them, this is a piece of fat, I don't believe that those orcs will be indifferent once they get the news - if I were the king of the orcs, I will never let go of this opportunity! In any case, such a terrible fortress group, if you have the chance, take it first! It's one thing to go to all-out war or not, but it's always a good thing to take advantage of the fortress first and take it into your own hands. When the time comes, you can attack, retreat, and defend -- who will let go of this kind of cheapness in vain!"

Panin said angrily - these words were not so much for his subordinates as for himself.

Panin's story is still interrupted!

Outside the hall, Span, dressed in military attache attire, rushed quickly!

Spann has always been appointed by Panin as the chief executive, which is in fact equivalent to the status of provisional governor.

But Span himself has always disliked to think of himself as a civil official, and always likes to dress as a military general. In Panin's Commander's Mansion, the guards knew that this Mr. Spann had a great background, and he was also a trusted person of Panin, so he rushed in all the way, and no one stopped him - this was also Panin's own order: Spann came to me, at any time, let him come in directly!

Seeing the prime minister's son rushing in sweating profusely, looking anxious, like a cat with a tail that has been stepped on, Panin couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"What bad news did you bring with you?" Panin smiled bitterly, "Say it! I don't think there could be anything more unlucky. ”

Spann walked up to Panin, clutching a piece of paper tightly in his hand. Then he slowly placed it in front of Panin.

"You guessed it wrong, Panin. Worse things were born...... Worse than what we're facing right now!"

"Oh?"

Panin was suddenly upset, he didn't bother to look at the paper in front of him, frowned, and said, "Tell me!"

Span took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Today, the Governor's Mansion received a warning message from the Tulip family, which was sent through the procedure of an official government affairs document. ”

"Government Affairs Bulletin?" Panin was stunned.

Span smiled bitterly: "Striving to save the province has always been to survive by looking at the face of the tulip family. As is customary, the Tulip family has always worked hard in the administrative system of the province to have a tradition of official announcements of government affairs. This point has always been acquiesced by the imperial capital. I'm just surprised that for this kind of thing, they didn't directly deliver the news to you, but used the procedure of the government affairs bulletin to send such a document over. ”

"Tell me, what's the news from the Tulip family?"

Span's expression was gloomy, and he said word by word: "Prairie people." It's the other way around!"

Rise!

Panin stood up suddenly, his movements were too big, and the table in front of him was also brought down by him!

......

The steppe people are indeed the opposite!

The official document of the Tulip family is very clear.

About half a month ago, the Tulip family's spies on the grassland used winged eagles to deliver the news.

The Golden Horde of the Prairie King has gathered more than 10 tribes of all sizes, controlling 200,000 people!

Arguably. This was the first time in 140 years that such a large-scale army build-up had taken place on the steppe.

If it weren't for the fact that the king of the steppes was suddenly bored and wanted to play a game of armed parade - then there was only one explanation: the king of the steppe was going to war.

As for the object of the war...... They don't always ride across the Kilimano Mountains to fight the dwarves or orc kingdoms.

The only enemy is to ...... east from the Northwest Corridor Roland Empire.

The Prairie King has already laid out a war letter.

The article denounced the exploitation, plundering and oppression of the steppe people by the Roland people for more than 100 years. In particular, he denounced the tulip family's rudeness to the grassland royal family. The king of the steppe, as well as the leaders of the various tribes, are like slaves pigs and dogs in front of the tulip family......

In short, the whole article. It is to describe how the steppe people are under the oppression of the evil Roland Empire, how the people are living in poverty.

And this steppe king himself. It is to conform to the will of heaven and the people, to lead the grassland people who are brave and good at fighting LinkedIn for the way of heaven, and resist the oppression from the evil Roland Empire. The steppe people are no longer willing to continue to be slaves of the Rolanders, but to turn over and become masters.

As for the specific method of turning over, it is very simple: pick up the scimitar, ride on the horse, cross the northwest corridor, go to the house of the Roland people, burn, kill, rob!

......

Many of the Tulip's eyeliners on the grassland have been captured and cleaned, but there are still many eyeliners who have sent the news back, and several messages brought back by the wingmen have been received, all of which are the same.

So the situation is basically certain!

......

"200,000 strings?" Panin rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Even if it is 200,000 cattle and sheep, it won't be easy to kill them all." ”

"General, I assure you, 200,000 steppe people are much more difficult to kill than 200,000 cattle and sheep. Span's tone was mocking.

Panin clapped his hands, and suddenly said coldly: "Why did the Tulip family inform us of this news? The grassland people want to call in, and they should take the brunt of it, even if they want to send troops to resist the invasion, it will be the Tulip family's first headache." ”

Span shook his head, he stared at Panin, and his tone was very stern: "The first question, I can answer you, General Panin! At least for now, the Tulip family is not openly rebellious. Therefore, their current legal status is that of the legitimate nobles of the Empire. As a nobleman, it is reasonable and legal to inform the nearest official government of the empire about the invasion from outside the country - you should even commend them, which is the duty of every nobleman of the Roland Empire. ”

Panin's eyes widened.

"Second question...... They don't need a headache now. Spann bit his lip and said with a wry smile: "The Tulip family has written it clearly on the official document. They claimed to be outnumbered, powerless to resist the invasion of 200,000 steppe troops. Therefore, they have ordered a strategy of shrinking the defense in all the clan's territories. They confined their limited forces to a few large cities and adopted a strategy of entrenchment...... They even told us in official documents that they had made great sacrifices in order to slow down the invasion of the enemy, adopting a scorched earth strategy, abandoning the rural land around the city, and the farmers abandoning their homes and moving into the city......"

Scorched Earth Strategy?

Panin suddenly wanted to scold!!

Can you not be so shameless?!!

Scorched Earth Strategy?!

Do you have soil in your tulip house to scorch?!

Who doesn't know that the northwest is such an expensive place and is very popular. The land is barren!

The Tulip family's territory is further northwest than Nulin Province! Their land is even more barren! Nine and a half acres of 100 acres of land are sand!!

The vast majority of the Tulip Family's vast territory is wilderness and wasteland!

Ravages of war?

It's originally a land full of gravel, what kind of soil are you burning?!

As for the house...... Most of the houses in the northwest are adobe buildings, so those farmers don't care about a few broken houses!

What's more, the Tulip family has money! Lose those houses. The family can afford it!

...... Panin suddenly realized a very bad problem!

"They...... Do you really say that? shrink the defenses, abandon the countryside...... The whole population is shrinking into the cities as much as possible?"

“...... Yes, Your Excellency my General!" Spann said coldly, "The population distribution of the Tulip family is very simple, most of their population is in the city, and there are hardly many people in the countryside. Only a few marginal areas have reserved pastures that can be grazing. But just bring the livestock back to the city. A considerable part of the population is concentrated in a few workshops and manufacturing cities - there are not many farmers in the entire Tulip family's territory. ”

"And...... Their city defenses are very strong. Panin's eyes suddenly turned red. He scolded angrily: "Others don't know that I don't know!!! In several big cities of the Tulip Family, the city defenses are all built according to the level of the Kaspersky Defense Line! Hell! A hundred years ago, the Kaspersky Defense Line was originally built by the Tulip Family! The city defense system in their family territory is even stronger than that of the imperial capital! I think those steppe people, even if they run in, they will never choose to use their war horses to hit those city walls!"

"You're absolutely right. Spann gritted his teeth.

"So......" Panin suddenly sat back slowly.

"So, according to my calculations. The tulip family has simply given up resistance...... They wouldn't even send troops to defend the Northwest Corridor, and the cavalry of the 200,000 steppe people would rush into the northwest like a flood...... Those steppe people bully the weak and fear the hard. They will not choose to go to those well-defended cities to fight to the death, those steppe bandits who are eager to plunder, will only bypass those cities with high walls, and then swarm towards the inner belly!" Spann said coldly: "Don't forget jì, coming out of the northwest corridor, if you are a fast horse, it will only take a maximum of ten days to reach the border of Nulin Province." ”

Panin suddenly smiled bitterly: "The Tulip family did this...... Why did you send a copy of the text to us?"

Span's face was even more ridiculous: "To be precise, they are asking you for instructions. ”

"...... to me Please?" Panin opened his mouth.

"Yes, because your current official position is ...... Chief of Military and Political Affairs of the Northwest Theater of Operations. Spann shook his head and sighed: "In terms of official position, in the entire northwest, you are the largest. Even the Duke of the Tulip Family is not currently holding any imperial office. So ......"

"So, if the steppe people invade, then I, the chief of the Northwest Military and Political Administration, am the supreme commander here?

Panin couldn't laugh or cry.

"You're absolutely right. Span's face was extremely ugly: "And...... You don't have any reason to accuse the Tulip family of inaction...... Because they were fundamentally just the local nobility of the empire, they were not given the duty of defending the empire by law. If they can come with such a warning signal, they have already fulfilled their duties as nobles. And resisting the invasion of foreign enemies is indeed the responsibility of you, the chief of the northwest. ”

Panin understood.

The attitude of the Tulip family is very simple:

Didn't the emperor always dislike our tulip family for being too powerful and too much to manage?

Well, now we can safely abide by the identity of an imperial nobleman, we only do what a "local noble" should do, and we will not move one more finger.

Invasion by foreign enemies?

The Governor of the Northwest appointed by the Emperor will take care of it!

We're just local aristocrats...... Fuck the rest.
