Chapter 796: The Situation in the Imperial Capital
In addition to the alternation of imperial power in the Luosen Empire and the economic crisis of the Eternal Empire, the three kingdoms of Eurasia, Ula and Lanyi, located in the southeast of the Aier Empire, have also invested almost all their forces on the border like a great enemy, and they are worried that the Luosen Empire and the Eternal Empire will turn around and deal with them after capturing the Aier Empire, after all, with the strength of the two empires, if they are united, the three kingdoms will be difficult to resist, but if they unite, the two empires will not get any benefits.
The three kingdoms have now agreed to form a military alliance to resist a possible invasion.
The Eurasian Kingdom borders the Eternal Empire and the Al Empire, while the Ula Kingdom and the Lanyi Kingdom border the Lawson Empire to the west. However, such a distribution of the Eurasian Kingdom will obviously not agree, according to the report of the spies, the Lanyi Kingdom and the Ula Kingdom are mobilizing troops to rush to the northern border of the Eurasian Kingdom to coordinate the defense, and on the border line with the two empires, at least more than 100,000 troops will be stationed and enough strategic buffer zone.
As for the Aier Empire, the three kingdoms did not think too much about it, because now that the expeditionary force of the Luosen Empire has arrived in Aier Province, it will be under the imperial capital in a day or two, and at that time, the two sides will definitely start a bloody battle, and no matter whether the expeditionary force of the Luosen Empire can break through the imperial capital of the Aier Empire, the Aier Empire will suffer heavy losses, so in the analysis of the three kingdoms, the Aier Empire will be annexed by the Luosen Empire and the Eternal Empire nine times out of ten.
However, the three kingdoms have also made some other preparations, for example, the three kingdoms have prepared a cavalry force of 20,000 men, they have no number, no standard equipment, wandering like bandits around the border between the Eurasian kingdom and the province of Daili of the Aier Empire.
The Three Kingdoms don't really want the Al Empire to be annexed by the Eternal Empire and the Lawson Empire, in that case. After the two empires digest the occupied land, if the two empires that have become more powerful continue to expand their territory, then the target will definitely be them, so the secret force prepared by the three kingdoms is intended to help the Aier Empire at the right time and will not suffer.
Of course, if the situation cannot be reversed, the three kingdoms will also use this force to attack the Daili Province of the Aier Empire, although they know that it is dangerous to grab meat from the mouths of the two tigers, but they do not have the luxury of being able to occupy the Daili Province, they just want to make some gains.
Wang Yong and his entourage came to the Imperial Capital of Aier through the teleportation array. Through Tie Mian's more detailed narration, Wang Yong learned that most of the nobles and officials had secretly evacuated their family property and relatives from the imperial capital and took refuge in the northern province of Wado, although the guards of the imperial capital had reached nearly 80,000, but whether it was officials, nobles or ordinary people, they had lost confidence in the empire.
For this, Basin, who was still on the throne, did not stop them, but allowed them to leave, but he had already registered all the nobles and officials who had escaped. I'm going to leave it to Stephanie or Wang Yong to deal with.
Wang Yong is not most concerned about these, but about Bazin's recent movements, and Tie Mian is also aware of this, so he is also particularly concerned about the news about Bazin.
According to the information sent back by Mizuki and Tsinghua. After the last meeting with Wang Yong, Ba Xin did not act out of the ordinary, everything was according to the agreement between the two. First of all, the command of all the troops in the imperial capital was withdrawn and unified command and control were carried out. Moreover, 90 percent of the troops were all sent to garrison the four walls, and there were not too many troops involved in the defense of the Imperial Palace, which was now even more sparse than in previous peacetime years. It's only about half of what it used to be. Moreover, the Praetorian Guards remaining in the Imperial City are also ready to go, and when Stephanie's Praetorian Guards arrive, they will set off to the city wall to replenish the city defense.
In addition, in the past few days, Bassin has ordered the accounts of the state treasury to be sorted out, and the contents of each vault have been inventoried one by one and detailed records have been made. Except for some urgent affairs of the empire, Bhasin no longer participates in the governance of the empire, especially when it comes to policy, and he avoids it.
Wang Yong was not surprised by Bat Sin's actions, because these were all discussed by them before, and it can be seen from some details that Bash is indeed planning to give up the throne, and it also leaves a certain buffer space and time for Stephanie, so that she can adapt to the next rights and responsibilities faster.
As for the matter of preparing to give way to Stephanie, Bat Sin has not been officially disclosed, but some of the big nobles and head officials of the empire have learned about it through various channels, and the reactions of these big men are very different, some just sigh slightly, feeling that Bash knows that the destruction of the country is imminent, so he plans to hand over this mess to Stephanie, a distant niece.
And some people don't care, they only care about whether the empire can withstand the attack of the Lawson Empire and the Eternal Empire, and hold the power of the empire, because their own interests are involved here.
There are also some people who strongly support Bhasin's decision to give way to Stephanie, most of whom have been bought by Duke Sanchez, or are old families who are truly loyal to the royal family of the El Empire, and they have even begun to prepare gifts for Stephanie to ascend the throne.
The nobles and officials who supported Stephanie were not too worried about the upcoming Rosen Empire's army, as they learned from Duke Sanchez that Lord Ivan of the Seaside Province had reached an agreement with the Rosen Empire and had become a true offensive and defensive ally. This alliance is not a non-binding treaty like in the past, but both sides have sent heavyweights to each other's territory as a guarantee, and now, Prince Zack, the younger brother of the Emperor Grleton of the Lawson Empire, has arrived in the seaside province, and the Duke of Sanchez has also shown a copy of the agreement reached between Wang Yong and Greenton, so these nobles and officials who support Stephanie are still relatively reassured.
Although these people knew a little bit of the inside story, they all tacitly did not tell the others the news, and for those colleagues who fled the imperial capital, they only snorted disdainfully, and then gloated about the look of chagrin when they learned the truth.
In fact, there is one of the most important reasons why these people did not spread the inside story, that is, interests, so to speak, if all the nobles and officials in the imperial capital leave, only they will be the presiding officers of Stephanie, then after Stephanie succeeds to the throne, the distribution of interests will definitely be readjusted.
If all the interests in the Aier Empire are compared to a big cake, it was originally shared by many people, and after Stephanie succeeds to the throne and solves the current crisis, those who leave will definitely lose their previous rights and interests to a greater or lesser extent, which is equivalent to fewer people sharing this cake, and those who are qualified to participate in the division of interests will naturally get more benefits, so these nobles who know the inside story are very tacitly not to inform others of this important news.
