After reading the alliance scroll with the seal of the royal family in his hand three times, the fat man heard a rush of footsteps outside the tent, the door of the military tent was opened, and two figures walked in, it was the central general Hukochili of the southern governor of the empire, Statunko, and the two saluted the fat man at the same time, "Why did you only come now, where did you go just now?" The fat man raised his head from the table, and casually threw the scroll that felt a little chicken to Hukochili who felt a little chicken in front of him, "Look at this!" "This is?" Hu Keqi held the scroll in his hand, his eyebrows frowned slightly, his hands slowly opened, and he looked stunned, "This is the Covenant Book of Gangfei?" "That's right, it's the Covenant Scroll given to us by the Gangfei Empire!" The fat man smiled slightly, got up from his seat, came to a brazier erected in the middle of the military tent, stretched out his fat hand and put it on it to gently warm it. said, "This time, the Gangfei people are willing to exchange the two provinces near the border for us to send troops, and I am still hesitating whether to agree to them!"

"Two provinces, in exchange for us uniting against the Istans?

Hearing this, Statunenko frowned slightly, took the scroll from Hukochili's hand, looked at it carefully, and said dissatisfiedly. To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, I don't think this military alliance is beneficial to us, although I have not fought with the Istans, but I have also heard that this is a large empire that is not inferior to Gaul, with strong troops and a cloud of generals, once it falls, it is likely to offend an enemy for no reason, and the most important thing is that Gangfei is too stingy, and he even expects to use two marginal places that are not of much value, in exchange for a military alliance with us, really when our Falcon Empire is a barbarian in the northwest who has never seen the world!" Yes, such a condition is more like an insult than a request for help!" Hukochili, who had read the content of the clause, agreed with Statunko's opinion: "Yes, your opinion is the same as mine, in fact, just before, I had arranged for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send someone to Gangfei. Tell them clearly that there are at least four provinces, and one of them must be Valensik, the southern commercial center of the Gangfei Empire, otherwise, don't grind your lips here!" the fat man rubbed his hands on the fire, and said with a smug expression, "Valensik!"

Hearing the name in the fat man's mouth, Statunko and Hukochili both took a breath of cold air together, and his majesty really dared to speak, this is the rhythm of seizing the opportunity to bite to death, and even the richest area of Gangfei is remembered

Ruda Cape in Gangafrica is the largest province in the south. Not only is the area twice the size of the general province, but also the location of the Gang Fei Empire's inland sea port, if it can be included in the territory of the Falcon Empire, the empire will no longer be an outsider who enters the Inland Sea from the inland sea channel, but directly become a part of the Inland Sea countries, the empire is equivalent to having a well-equipped logistics center in the Inland Sea in advance, which has immeasurable value for the entire Empire's inland sea grand strategy Statunko cautiously glanced at the fat man's face, "That's not necessarily"

The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched slightly. Like a profiteer who succeeded in his conspiracy, he smiled and said, "I think you have also heard that the Gangfei army lost a big ugly in Fukodir some time ago, and ambushed the enemy's troops of 100,000 with 200,000 troops. As a result, instead of encircling the troops of the Iraqians who broke into Fukodir, they were bitten by the other side in the battle, and the number of casualties in the battle was no less than that of the Iraqisans, and now the main force was completely pinned down and could not move. The other unit of the Istan people got rid of the entanglement of the inhuman, like a poisonous snake directly pounced on the eggs on the branches, safely ignoring the panicked cries of the old birds next to them. If you can't get support, Gangfei Xinjing won't be able to survive this winter! Whether you want Kyoto or a southern port, I believe that Gangfei people will weigh it clearly" "It's still Your Majesty's unique vision!"

Statunko's eyes lit up when he heard it, who would have thought that the Istan people and the Gangfei people fought to the death, and in the end it might be the Falcon Empire that got the biggest bargain, no wonder His Majesty Xià was so calm and cold about the invasion of the Gang Fei by the Istan people some time ago, it turned out that the pit had been dug a long time ago and waited for the Gangfei people to jump in, and at present, they can have the strength to fight against the Iraqi people, except for the Falcon Empire, there is no other country in the Central Europe Barrow region that is willing to take this head, and the wall is pushed by everyone, and at present, Gangfei is the crumbling wall, I don't know how many eyes are paying attention, waiting to pick up the cheap！

"Then let's cool down the gang Fei Ren first!" The fat man nodded, and in the afternoon, the fat man convened a meeting of all the generals on the Gallic Kyoto front to discuss the deployment of the siege of Gallic Kyoto, and at the meeting, a general proposed that "if you want to force Gallic Kyoto to surrender, you must completely cut off its supply line, and if you can draw a force to cross Gallic Kyoto and attack the eastern region of Gaul, Gallic Kyoto will be really cornered" The fat man agreed with this view, but considering that the troops had just experienced a major war and needed some time to reorganize, the plan to send troops to the east could not be implemented for the time being

On the fifth day, the situation took a surprising turn

An urgent letter from the south was delivered to the fat man, and turmoil broke out in Gangfei Xinjing, and some of the defeated troops who failed in the front battle rushed into Gangfei Xinjing, and in the chaos, the arrogant Iranian negotiators tried to face the rout army alone, and before they could say a few words, they were swarmed by the routed army and hacked to death.

The Falcon Empire's emissary, Ang Kedo, was the confidant of the former Foreign Minister Lidarchus, and when he sensed that the situation was not good, he hoisted a bed sheet from the high wall into the street below in advance to escape the Foreign Affairs Pavilion where the Emissary was located, but the more than 20 Falcon Empire guards who stayed in the Foreign Affairs Pavilion were all killed.

The Xinjing Rebellion shook the entire Obarro, and although the Janissaries in the city reacted quickly and took control of the situation, it was a foregone conclusion that the envoys of the two empires, the Istan Empire and the Falcon Empire, would be killed and wounded.

"Savage Gangnon!"

After a long silence, the Central European and Barrow countries, which had been sitting on the shore and watching the fire, suddenly broke out into a one-sided condemnation

"We are crusading against such a faithless country as Gangfei!

The Emperor of Estan was furious, and issued seven Istanbul Golden Orders in one day, ordering all armies to launch bloody revenge on the occupied areas, especially the Governor of the East, Hayera, who had a heavy army, slaughtered the city three times in three days, nearly 400,000 Ganginhuman turned into ghosts under his big saber, and countless corpses were inserted into wooden stakes to erect both sides of the long road, because the envoy of Estan who died at the hands of the rout army was his half-brother. Unlike his murderous brother, the murdered Earl Haag is one of the few military leaders in the Iranian Empire who does not have much hostility towards the Gangfei Empire, because his mother is the daughter of a Gangfei nobleman

Another consequence of the Xinjing Rebellion was that the former Minister of War Rubin Sark spent countless efforts and painstaking efforts to always appear to the outside world like an iron bucket and was not an imperial court. Finally, for the first time, there was a split, and the undercurrent was surging, and the main battle faction represented by the Duke of Andya of the military, and the confrontation between the main and the faction of Prince Dunad surfaced, using the Xinjing Rebellion as a weapon, Prince Dunade and other lords and factions publicly accused the rout of the army that made Gangfei fall into an extremely passive and unfavorable situation, and it was a farce planned and arranged by the military ministers in order to gain more power.

The military complained that the rebellion was completely a farce directed and staged by Prince Dunad's lord and faction, given that Andrea, the main person in charge of the south gate, was not even commanding on the city wall at such a critical moment. Therefore, the final conclusion is that because Andrea's dereliction of duty led to the occurrence of the rout rebellion, Andrea was sentenced to death, as for why Kyoto, which was stationed with 30,000 heavy troops, was so slow to react after the rout army entered the city. Both the main peace faction and the main battle faction automatically ignored it, because at the moment when the army entered the city, the forces on both sides were planning to use this matter to attack each other

December. The Iraqi people carried out massacres on the outskirts of Gangfei Xinjing, and the envoys of the Falcon Empire entered Gangfei Xinjing again, bringing new conditions, six provinces, four ports, and the fat lion opened his mouth, claiming that the imperial minister (a small minion of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) was almost martyred in the Xinjing Rebellion, which was a naked humiliation to the Falcon Empire, and Yan zhòng hurt the deep friendship between the two countries (hung up the other emperor!). So the conditions must be doubled, otherwise, the Falcon Empire does not rule out a qiē action to claim justice to the Gangfei Empire (looting while the fire is hot)

At the same time, when the war in the Gangfei region is in full swing, from the court to the people are all water and fire, compared with the southern Putao area, which was once the focus of the war, but it is very quiet. The turbulent winter current is much quieter in this long natural inner bend, the waves are surging lightly, swinging layers of white, like a layer of snow against the hash', the sea water looks with a hint of gray and white ice floe in winter, and you can't see the bottom at a glance. This is a sign of condensation in the cold winter, and in fact, in the depths of the ocean, there are still undercurrents surging and dangerous.

Since the Falcon Empire became the de facto control of the coastal areas of Putao, it took only a few months for a large number of immigrants to migrate from the northwest region, the once deserted towns were reclaimed, and the coastal walls could be seen piled up with stones, which looked exceptionally beautiful from a distance, and in the sunlight, it was like a burning sunset that meandered along the ridges and coasts, which made sailors who passed along the coastline call this place the Red Coast.

Duke Putao officially declared the Duchy of Putao in July to be a vassal state of the Falcon Empire, the four counties along the coast are the direct jurisdiction of the Falcon Empire, the original four northern counties have been built into free trade ports, the vast and fertile central three counties, and a population of nearly 200,000 have been reunited into the Kyoto area of the Duchy of Putao Transporting goods from the coastal areas to Gangfei, and then transporting the goods from Gangfei to the coast, by virtue of his status as a duke, the merchants also allowed him to pay after selling the goods.

"Really, don't you know the stopping point just now?" Putting down the detailed report on the Xinjing Rebellion in his hand, Duke Putao sat on the chair and took a glass of red wine from a young lady with big breasts and arms next to him, and did not forget to laugh, leisurely no longer seeing the original down-and-out appearance

The newly renovated Duke's Mansion is far more magnificent than the Duke of Putao in the past dynasties, this guy has grown big, in his duke's conference room, the nobles who sat down, discussed what is already their own family business, caravan trading, the latest batch of goods can be worth investing in, what is the most popular goods in Gangfei, as for the territorial income, aristocratic power and the like, it has long been something that no one wants to mention,

With the intensification of the war between the Gangfei Empire and the Iranians, the status of the Putao aristocratic merchant group has risen rapidly, and the last time the Duke of Putao went to Gangfei Xinjing, he was continuously invited by more than a dozen wealthy families in Gangfei. This was absolutely impossible before, who would remember that down-and-out guy who didn't even have a country,

But now, it's really normal, the average wealthy family, Duke Putao is still unwilling to deal with it!

With the rapid development of commerce and trade, the Putao nobles have begun to take the initiative to exchange the inland land for funds that can be used to form caravans, and take the initiative to assume the springboard for the coastal areas and the inland markets of the Congo Empire. But in the general set that almost died in the country, the general set that was exploited and oppressed by the gang non-people and almost didn't sell the pants, but there was no such superfluous consideration, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner, everyone imagined only one, that is, to make life as good as possible, as for face, national self-esteem or something, as early as when the gang non-people were fully controlled, it had been cut off like a soft knife cutting meat. Gangfei people spent countless efforts and energy to soften the will of the Putao people to resist, but they were copied by the Falcon Empire.

After seeing the game of iron and blood between real great powers, more than 100,000 troops were wiped out. Corpses littered the field. Duke Putao, who dared to stab himself at the beginning, has already given up the idea of being independent.

Because he finally realized that the Putao territory was too small, and there was still something to be done in commerce. If you put it on land, it's a little minion that a big country casually tramples to death, since that's the case. The tone puts too much energy into this land that simply can't be entrenched. It's better to expand from the point of influence, the Falcon Empire can let the Putao Principality continue to exist, and retain about half of the country's territory, and it is already thankful that it does not interfere too much in the internal affairs of Putao, where do you dare to ask for anything

One of the attendants of the Duke walked cautiously over and handed him a letter

"Who sent it?" asked the Duke of Putau

"Falcon Imperial Admiralty!"

The attendant looked a little nervous, since July, the Falcon Empire's naval fleet has assembled in the Putao Sea area, it is said that there is a tendency to advance to the inland sea, although it is not the enemy, but looking at those huge warships cruising on the sea, occasionally revealing dense black guns on the side of the deck, the Putao people are always unable to hide their fear, the Putao people think they are also a maritime people, but in terms of shipbuilding technology, they are far worse than the Falcon Empire, many Putao workers are working in the port dock, and a few people are recruited from the Falcon Navy to become a member of the Falcon Empire Navy

"Admiralty!" Duke Putao's hand holding the letter trembled, and he hurriedly opened the letter and read it, with a look of ecstasy on his face, and read it again with some disbelief, and jumped up from his chair and shouted to the attendant, "Go, gather all the merchants immediately, we have a distinguished guest!"

In the afternoon, the sun lazily shone on the port of Vakara, the new capital of the Principality of Putao, the port has been under martial law, wearing a white cuirass, holding a long-handled axe in the hands of the Putao honor guard lined up on the main road of the port, the Duke of Putao wore a Hongkou blue duke uniform standing at the dock dock, behind him are more than 30 large and small Putao nobles,

Not far away, a long and narrow Falcon Empire Dragon's Tooth-class battleship slowly docked under the eager gaze of everyone, and the "pop" springboard was put down, and a tall woman appeared on the deck of the battleship, dragging her slim long skirt to the ground, soft and full of nearly one meter eight super slender figure, graceful and slender, with a mature fragrance all over her body, which made people dare not look at it directly.

"Excuse me, is it Miss Sokutus Dylan?" Duke Putao hurriedly greeted him, this is the most powerful woman in the business alliance, if the reception is not good, he can casually let Putao return to the pre-liberation period overnight, half of the Putao trade line is in the hands of the business alliance, not to mention the private goods of Putao, which is also specially taken care of by others, and only then has it been specially approved by the business alliance

"Lord Duke, what are you ......" Sokutus Delan saw Duke Putao, the corners of his mouth curled and smiled, and his eyes looked at the formation in the harbor again, he was a little stunned, this time it was a secret trip, such a formation was too big! Not far away, a carriage with the logo of the Admiralty of the Falcon Empire also stopped there, and it seemed that he was also afraid of such a formation, so he did not come forward

"They are all people who have received the grace of the young lady, and this time they are specially here to greet the young lady!" Duke Putao's face was a little embarrassed, feeling that the other party's attitude was a little wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong,

"Grace?haha, I think the Duke is mistaken, I don't want too many people to know about it this time!"

"I see!" Duke Putao suddenly realized, and quickly turned around and whispered a few times to the attendants behind him, and soon, the nobles on the dock were dispersed,

The black Admiralty carriage came up to Sokutus Stellan, and the door opened, revealing the Imperial Admiralty Dustrunket

"Lord Dustrunkai!"

Duke Putao was taken aback when he saw it, the people of the business alliance, do you need the Minister of the Navy to come forward in person? Could that rumor be true? Behind this woman is the Falcon Emperor

"Miss Sokutus Delan!, the command ......," Dustrunkai asked with a kind expression

"The order is here" Sokutus Dylan took out two letters, one to the Duke of Putau and one to Dustrunke, and said calmly, "Congratulations to the Duke, soon, Your Excellency will be called King!" (to be continued......)
