When the final result of the battle of Danny came, the sky was not yet dawn, the world was silent and gray, and the adjutant Rogkag knocked on Jarde's door with an ugly face, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, the battle of Dan is over...... Adjutant Rogkag handed over the battle report with Yu Wen in his hand, and said hesitantly, "It's over?"

Alder suddenly felt his head clouded, and he took the battle report from the adjutant in disbelief, and eagerly opened the battle report of the battle of Danny, his eyes swept over the battle report, his face became pale, and he broke through?

Yard didn't understand it, but this battle report hurt like being stabbed with a knife,

He spent countless efforts to forge the Gallic Northern Army, after this battle loss of more than three-quarters, not only the famous general Hasenlimbo was killed, but also the Northern Army generals who were trained through the Northern War also showed the tragedy of the overall death, and the Northern Army successfully broke through at the same time, it is equivalent to losing most of its combat effectiveness.

The Western Front was completely lost, at this time it was only half a month before the Northern Army shone in the north of the Empire, according to the battle report sent, the Northern Army had successfully broken through from the direction of Danny, and the Imperial Military Department believed that this was the first time that the Imperial Army fought with the Vechia Falcon and finally won the battle, but as a knowing the entire battle plan in Yalder, the meaning of the so-called breakthrough is no different from defeat,

Feeling a little bored, he staggered to the window, and as far as his eyes could see, it was only a black sky, the dawn before dawn. It was so quiet that Yard's hands were clenched together, and he crumpled the battle report into a ball, muttering to himself, "Danny, what the hell is going on......"

This battle has been regarded by him as a key battle that can turn the tide of the current war on the Western Front, and before Algernonkatya took over the Northern Army, he had approached the real head of the Northern Army at that time, Alder, if it were not for Miss Algernon Julia's recommendation, he felt that this plan to lure the enemy into the depth was quite feasible, and he also personally revised the combat style of the Falcon Army with Algernonkatya to confirm that it was foolproof. Only then did Yalder hand over the Imperial Northern Army, which he had worked so hard to build,

The location of the battle was chosen in Danni, which had a geographical advantage, and the commander of the northern army was Algernon Katya, who had a double background of the Praetorian Guard and Kyoto, the revision planner was the famous general Yard, who turned the situation in the north in one fell swoop, and the person who carried out the most critical task of cutting off logistics was Hasenranpo, who had the most experience in fighting on the Western Front. No matter how you look at it, it is a rare match in the world, and all three of them are the top three commanders in Gaul. Yard excels at strategic layouts. Hasenrampo knew the tactics of the Falcon army inside out, and although Algernonkaja's reputation was damaged, he was recognized as a genius in the Gallic military world in terms of battle command, which means that the Vicchia Falcon would be blocked by the three top generals from the Gallic army in Danny, and Yard believed that the main plan would not be a surprise. Even if it can't achieve a turnaround victory like the Battle of the North, it will at least drag the war into the bitter cold of winter.

But the facts are already bloody in front of their eyes...... With a solemn expression, Jarde pushed open the window, letting the cold wind blow in from outside, and waited until the anxiety in his heart subsided. Turning to look at the adjutant behind him, "Rogkag, how is the preparation of the new army?" "Forty thousand people have been recruited, but the supply of weapons is a big problem, many soldiers cannot obtain battle armor, and most of the weapons are obsolete weapons!" Adjutant Rogkag replied with a confused expression, he didn't know what the new army was doing when Yard suddenly asked, since the main force of the northern army was transferred to the west, the 200,000 troops left in the north of Gaul were reduced by half, and the elite was exhausted, and most of the troops who stayed in the north to suppress the Slavs were second-line troops, in order to completely eliminate the potential future of the Slavs, Yard submitted a proposal to the Gallic Military Department to add two or three legions of about 100,000 new troops,

Perhaps feeling that it was too unkind to take the Northern Army away from the hands of Yard in this way, Algernon Julia approved this request to expand the New Northern Army, because of the recovery of the North, many northerners returned to their homes from the new, and the population recovered a lot, coupled with the vast territory of the North, rich in products, a large number of displaced people from the Western Front due to the war also poured into the northern region, for a time there was a rare recovery period in the northern region, the population from 2.35 million before the northern reconquest, quickly recovered to 7.34 million, although there is still a gap from the 21.34 million population in the heyday, but it is enough to become the rear of Gaul to support the war。 "Prepare!" said Alder as he withdrew his gaze from a distance, his tone becoming firm, "Ready, my lord, what do you mean?" asked Adjutant Rogkag, puzzled

"Prepare to lead the army to Kyoto" Yard took a deep breath of the early morning breath blowing from the window, "The defeat of the Northern Army has completely lost the Western Front, and the Falcon Army will inevitably cut in, this time, the Vechia Falcon will not give the Empire a chance to breathe, I previously thought that the steppe cavalry that advanced in advance could not pose a substantial threat, but now it is different!"

"The area that had been swept by the steppe cavalry had lost its resistance in the chaos, and the Falcon Army advancing north from Danny could reach the castle of Kyoto almost unhindered before the arrival of winter."

"Last year we lost the northwest, at the beginning of the year we lost the four provinces of the northwest Rustie, this time, it may be the whole area west of Kyoto, five or ten provinces, in this situation, if you don't want the situation to become the worst, Kyoto should mobilize four legions that have been staying on the eastern border!"

"Since we are mobilizing the Eastern Army to fight, why do we have to prepare!" Adjutant Rogkag said with a puzzled expression

"Because compared with the Falcon Army coming to the city, Kyoto needs to guard against the Eastern Army more!" A wry smile appeared on the corner of Yard's mouth, "Because the East has been at war with the Central Biya Empire for a hundred years, the four permanent legions are all led by the four rulers of the Eastern Region, in the past, under the aggressive pressure of the Central Biya Empire, these consuls and the princes under their command either dare not have different intentions towards the Empire, but now the situation has changed, the situation in the Sino-Belgian war is worse than ours, it is said that the Dongting people have beaten the Kyoto Baili Changting two months ago, Now where is the strength to suppress the four eastern consuls" "And the war with Central Bia two years ago was unfavorable because of the logistical supply of the consul Daraknita, one of the four consuls of the Eastern Army. The eastern offensive that the Empire had planned for several years had come to naught," Yald's voice stopped, and he said in a condensed voice, "In order to show punishment, His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered to deprive the Daracnita family of their consulship status, but did not take back his power to command the Seventh Army of the Eastern Army, the original intention was to want the Daracnita family to make meritorious contributions and defend the eastern front for the empire for generations, but now that the war situation has eroded to this extent, will the four ruling regions in the east continue to be calm?" We have to defend against both the Eastern Army and the Falcon Army, and we are the only army that Kyoto can rely on!"

September 11th. Dawn. The Falcon marched northward, first capturing the province of Philip, which had become completely defenseless, and then marching into the Gallic hinterland provinces of Volstanz and Koblem, both of which had suffered heavy losses from the steppe cavalry, and the local defenders were either swept away or unwilling to go into battle. In the face of the Falcon Army's massive pressure, these forces, similar to the local LDP, began to panic. Some regions opted for surrender. But there were also some areas that chose to resist, and sporadic fighting was inevitable, but the strong advance of the Falcon Army, the resistance of the small area was almost ignored, and the marching army surrounded the provincial capital of Wolstanz, three days later. The provincial capital surrendered, and ten days later, the province of Kobron surrendered

As the western front of Gaul was gradually collapsing, Angelio, who had returned to Kyoto in Gaul, received a very unexpected appointment. He was appointed as the governor of the eastern boundary survey province of Kyoto in Gaul, which caught Angelio off guard, the Plato area is known as the gate to the east of Kyoto, the connection point between the Kyoto area and the eastern region, and has always been an area directly under the Ministry of the Interior of Kyoto, and has not been appointed as a separate governor for a hundred years

On the one hand, Angelio sent someone to secretly convey the situation to the Falcon Empire, and on the other hand, he went to his post with two hundred Gallic Praetorian Guards.

When he arrived, the storm of late autumn hit here, the storm slapped on the windowsill of the hotel, from time to time there was the sound of tree branches being broken, Angelio turned his back to his hands, looked at the street outside the window and was silent, the raindrops of beans knocked on the window, although the window was raindrops and stars, but it was a rare city lights, like the stars in the sky, it seemed that the war on the Western Front did not affect here, the streets with people flowing, the shouting of merchants on the streets, the streamers of pedestrians walking leisurely, the lively girls in various colors strolling through the streets in the rain, like flowers and butterflies flying up and down,

Hanlei, the capital of the province of Plata and the center of commodity circulation in the eastern part of the Kyoto area,

From east to west, the scale of the city can be described as magnificent, with a length and width of 20 miles of walls, even in the suburbs of the most prosperous Kyoto area, it is definitely a first-class big city, a large number of goods and iron ore from Gallic Kyoto are flowing from here, it is a century-old trade center, and already has a taste of a commercial city, especially after Algernon Giulia returned from the western region, the traditional trade tax was reformedly abolished, and the actual transaction amount was subject to one-twentieth of the tax amount,

This commercial tax reform was called a genius idea by the Gallic Ministry of the Interior, in fact, Angelio, who had really been to the west, knew that it was just his "studious" hostess who moved over according to the Falcon Empire, but it cannot be denied that the introduction of this new commercial policy in a very short period of time was like a shot in the arm for the dying Gallic commerce, especially for areas like Plata that have formed their own commercial culture, which greatly alleviated the negative impact caused by the war turmoil.

Angelio could see from the hotel room that a large banquet was being held in the villa opposite, where the nobles were still living a drunken life, completely unaffected by the defeat in the war, and the commoners were busy with their little lives, and occasionally the laughter like silver bells came from the street, and in a blink of an eye, a pure and lively face could be seen.

The captain of the Praetorian Guard, who accompanied him, walked in respectfully and said, "The new Governor's Palace is ready"

"Is it? which family's property!" Angelio turned around calmly, in fact, the banquet opposite was for him, I don't know who revealed the news, the nobles here already knew the news of their appointment, and they had made preparations in advance. Not only had the governor's palace ready, but even the servants, and even the women if they wanted to! In a city where there had been no governor for a hundred years, the nobles were worried that the new governor would be a difficult figure.

"It's the property of the Bilis family!" the Captain of the Praetorian Guard replied calmly, as it was so close to the Kyoto area, and naturally it was also very closely connected to Kyoto, and it was on the table of many local families. There is already a statement about the new governor Angelio, who was born in the Northwest and is arrogant, unreasonable, and has fought on the Western Front. It seems that he was also injured for this

In these words, the local aristocrats have already painted in their minds a scathing and terrifying image of a logistics officer. The local aristocracy was also considering. Kyoto's placement of such an obviously unprovoked figure at the eastern gateway is not as simple as the so-called strengthening of management in name. The closing of the first day of the reception was a testament to this, followed by an economic storm that swept through Plato's region

The first order given by the new governor was to divide the area of Plata into ten districts according to geographical location, starting with the innermost urban district. To the outlying village districts, where the city was densely packed with rooftops, and the city was divided by dense streets, and then the second order was to set up large trading posts outside the city. This move made the nobles of the city a little incomprehensible,

As a city with a strong commercial atmosphere, Hanlei not only had a large trading post for a long time, but also more than one, there were as many as three, why set up one more, but soon, the nobles in the city felt a headache,

The third decree of the new governor was to shut down all other unofficial trading posts, declaring illegal any trade that was not carried out by official trade, confiscating all goods and goods if discovered, and adding a list of taxable goods to the goods.

The definition of important items is weapons, war horses, armor, iron ore raw materials, grain, cotton and other general daily necessities.

The war on the Western Front made many of the nobles of Pala make a fortune by smuggling the above items, and now they are being investigated and taxed heavily, so that most of the profit margins of such materials hoarded in the hands of many nobles have been cut off at once. In front of the fierce Emperor Janissaries, the nobles chose another way, they wanted to expose the incompetence and greed of the new governor, the nobles first ordered their related industries to be closed for ten days, so as to cause a depression in the market, and then the nobles who had suffered losses went to Kyoto to blatantly rob the new governor,

The news from Kyoto is that all the people who went to accuse have been arrested by the Praetorian Guard, even the Minister of Finance, who has always had a good relationship with the nobles, this time is like a leaf fluttering in the autumn wind, and has been sick for seven or eight days without showing up, there is no way, the Empire's finance and taxes have bottomed out, and the most important thing is that the Minister of Finance has received a warning from the Imperial Palace, if the Minister of Finance wants to force himself, His Majesty the Emperor does not mind using the wealth of the Minister of Finance to offset this money, anyway, there have long been rumors in the outside world that the assets of the Minister of Finance of the Empire are as high as more than 10 million gold coins, which is simply half a year's fiscal and tax income of the Empire, if there is this money, the empire was able to equip an army of 200,000 at once,

Asking for money from the east in the face of financial depletion was a solution that Algernon Julia came up with, and the Kyoto area, as the main body of the economy, was in ruins by the steppe cavalry, and it was difficult to restore it in a short time, and the collapsed war situation on the Western Front urgently needed a large amount of money.

The materials imported into Kyoto from the eastern region have made many eastern nobles make a fortune, and the strength of the eastern region has surpassed that of the Kyoto region, and it cannot continue like this, and the funds of the treasury have flowed into the pockets of the eastern nobles, but Kyoto is squeezing out every board to fight the enemy.

The appointment of Angelio as the governor of the region of Para is to hold this imbalance hostage, and at least to get a share of this huge profit, Angelio immediately reported the matter to the fat man when he received this secret order, and the fat man naturally would not object to Algernon Giulia's self-righteous economic policy of drying up and fishing,

The heavy tax bill was very obvious to the economy of eastern Gaul, and the biggest impact on the area above Para was the supply of these strategic goods, because the taxes were too heavy, and the tolls of the provinces along the way, many caravans to and from the east had to stop their business activities.

Therefore, the impact is also huge, Gallic Kyoto, which has been forging for three months, found for the first time that the price of iron ore raw materials on the market has risen rapidly, and even reached a very outrageous price, and then there is a shortage of cotton to withstand the cooling weather.

At the end of September, the Falcon broke through the province of Mayanigue, which connects the hinterland of Gallic and the Kyoto region, and forced its troops into the Kyoto area, while the Gallic Kyoto issued orders to the four consuls of the eastern region to fight. (To be continued......)
