1612 Legacy of the Battle (5)
In the corridors of the Gallic royal palace, outside the brightly lit royal conference room, more and more people gathered, and the important ministers of all parties began to gather together according to their identities and camps, and in the epitome of the various forces of these empires, the two old and one young people stood up, and were unexpectedly independent by everyone, in the eyes of everyone, these two people were the same kind of people, both of them were sonorous warriors who did not understand politics! The two stood together and talked, but they rarely seemed calm.
One is because of the withdrawal of negative qi from the eastern battlefield and one of the main reasons for the final defeat of the eastern war, and the other is the imperial capital wealthy clan that has been determined to be doomed, even if it is struggling, it is at most a few blisters, and the two now have the same common ground in the eyes of everyone.
The person in charge of the southwest region, who is also in deep trouble and talking about the whirlpool, was sent by His Majesty the Emperor to clean up the mess, as long as the crisis is over, he will be withdrawn immediately, and the candidate for the Northwest Governor will be determined at this imperial meeting, and next time, it should be the candidate for the Southwest Commander-in-Chief, "This matter is already known to everyone, or am I the last one to know?" Julils Fort took a deep breath to calm the anger on his face, he knew that there must be a lot of people waiting to see his jokes, these boring guys, I'm afraid that it won't be a day or two to see his jokes!
At the celebration of the first year of the emperor's reign, it is estimated that most of the ingredients are in order to pat the emperor's ass, no matter who the position of the commander-in-chief of the northwest ends up with, it is destined to make the Julils family, who has been running the northwest for decades, completely gray out of the circle of the imperial wealthy family.
"Actually, it's all about the same, I only found out about it ten days ago! I wanted to stop it, but I ran back hard, and my ass was swollen, and when I arrived in the imperial capital, I was also rejected by His Majesty the Emperor!" Murphy Boone shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and the voice of the current head of the Southwest Region was not loud. The handsome face was a little tired and pale, and his eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that what he said was not necessarily false,
"Oh, it seems that Lord Murphyo Boone does not agree with the decision of His Majesty the Emperor?"
Julius Sfordburg was unexpectedly stunned, in his eyes, since the emperor has let Murphy Oone enter the southwest to replace himself, if Murphy Oone is not grateful, at least he will show the attitude of the emperor's loyal servant, but judging from Murphy Oone's current tone. It seems that he does not agree with the content of this royal meeting, and may even maintain an objection, which cannot help but make Julils Fort feel a little grateful for the young man in front of him.
"To be honest, if it had been before, I would have been glad that His Majesty the Emperor had the determination and courage of such a true king!" Murphy Boone said with some disdain on his face, "But now, after seeing the strength of the Northwest Coast......" Murphy Boone's voice stopped, his eyes looked solemn, he shook his head and said slowly, "I can just say." It was an extremely stupid and dangerous decision."
"Why"
"The Northwest is no longer the original Northwest, and His Majesty's understanding of the Northwest is still in the previous impression. Self-righteousness is the end result, which is to lead the northwest to war with the Empire!" Murphy Boone's eyes scorched and shining, and there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth
"To put it irreverently, if the Northwest Coast goes to war with the Empire. How many troops do you think will be dispatched?"
Julie Sfort's eyes narrowed slightly, and Murphy Boone's words, although unpleasant, were very pertinent, since he was transferred out of the Southwest. In addition, many things in the northwest are deliberately concealed within the empire, and he, the deputy minister of the military affairs department, does not know much about the development of the northwest.
The latest situation is only known from the letters sent by his daughter, he only knows that the northwest is rising, and the fat man seems to be intent on making the northwest a region independent of the Gallic Empire.
Murphy Boone hesitated for a moment, and said in a solemn tone, "If it is me, I personally think that it is necessary to mobilize at least five or more of the main army of the empire, but the Central Bia region is at war with the Dongting people again, and the eastern battlefield is already very tense, no one knows if the war will break out suddenly, it should not be mobilized, the situation in the north, Lord Forburg knows better than me, I will not be ugly!" "Five imperial main army corps? That's 300,000 people!"
Julilsfort was taken aback by this number, this Murphy Boone is really as rumored, always makes Shangguan feel entangled, talented, but also arrogant, opening his mouth is 300,000 people, eating, drinking and Lazar a big mess, and not letting the most anxious Imperial Ministry of the Interior and Finance completely explode, "This scale, I'm afraid that it can start another inter-imperial war, and do you think a northwest will make His Majesty the Emperor pay so much attention to it?" Julilsfort asked uncertainly, "No!" If you really attach so much importance to the northwest, there will be no such absurd imperial meeting" Murphy Boone shook his head affirmatively, making Julil Fort Ford, who was in his throat, have a feeling of wanting to vomit blood, "At the beginning of Seattle in the eastern battlefield, or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty the Emperor, did not have such great courage, not to mention now, too many concerns and intrigues, it is not as good as before" Murphy Oone talked eloquently" Now that the Slavs are invading the north, the Empire's forces should still be mainly aimed at the Slavs, so this is just my personal opinion, I think that even if the Empire dispatches more than five main legions, the chance of winning a battle with the northwest is only a five-fifty chance."
"Five legions are only five or five, don't you think too much of the Northwest!" Julilsfort looked surprised,
"That bet made me see the military strength of the northwest clearly," Murphyo Boone said word by word, with a stern expression, "And just before I left, the strength of the northwest expanded again, reaching 200,000 people, and the navy was even stronger, so that the navy of the Gangfei Empire was also suppressed, and the wings of the Northwest Eagle were hard enough to set off a wind that swept across the land of Gaul, but our emperor, who was not out of the deep palace, was obviously blinded by those important ministers who were expecting to be able to get a piece of the pie from the northwest!" Do you mean this meeting ......" Juliosfort clenched his fists and looked angry, the northwest has always been barren, and it is also the front line of the battle against the Slavs, and many important ministers in Kyoto can't look down on it, so that the Julils family, who has not yet squeezed into the ranks of the wealthy families, picks up a leak, this is the wall falling down and everyone pushes it!" "Lord Fort has not been back to the northwest for a long time!" Murphy Boone smiled, as if he knew that Julils Fort would ask like this, and instead of explaining, he asked rhetorically, "Has it been a long time?" It's only been 2 months, but I've been a little nervous about the Slavs lately, so I haven't had time to go back!"
Julils Fort said calmly, "I still remember that it was snow flying when I left, and then my daughter wrote to me that it was the last snow in the northwest, which is really touching to say! Even the snow falling in the northwest is a little more human than some people in Kyoto!"
"Haha, Lord Forburgh's words, it seems that even I have scolded them! I have stepped on that snow to get to the southwest!" Murphy Boone smiled in agreement, and said disapprovingly. It's no wonder that Lord Fubao is very confused, in 2 months, there have been a lot of changes, the current northwest has been very different, the previous barren, barren impression, is with the inflow of more and more northwest goods, there have been huge changes, a total population of 5 million, developed commerce, full of taxes, an area of more than 2,000 miles of fat area, just like a feast clearly presented in front of all the imperial capital ministers"
Murphy Boone chuckled enviously, "I regret it now, if I collect taxes, I must have issued them a long time ago, it is said that only in the Kyoto area, the tax collected by Tong Guò on the caravan in the northwest region reached more than 500,000 gold coins last month, which is already comparable to one or two prosperous inland provinces, I am moved, you say that these guys are not moved, then it is called self-deception,
If it weren't for the encouragement of these people, His Majesty the Emperor would not have directly hung out the position of the Northwest Commander so unscrupulously like a commodity at an auction!
You know, the empire's finances have been in a state of loss for two consecutive months recently!The life of the Emperor is not easy either!" Murphy Boone looked into the distance, and some of the palace attendants were spreading out the red carpet along the corridor, which indicated that the Emperor was coming,
Seeing the attendants laying out the carpet, the people at the door of the conference room quickly dispersed, and Julils Fort and Murphy Boone stood together, and the low voice of discussion between the two "Do you know what the price is?"
"What?"
"Don't pretend to be confused, the so-called highest bidder you just mentioned will win!"
“...... Well, as far as I know, the Algerinong family contributed 2 million, the Vice-Minister of Internal Affairs Motima 5 million, the Vice-Minister of Finance Isidore 6.5 million, and the richest people on the outskirts of Kyoto, Bard and Noel...... It's all said to be a feast!!Otherwise, how could so many people come!" Just as the two were whispering, a shrill voice sounded at the other end of the red carpet, "The master of the Obaro Continent, the agent of God in the world, His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
The figure of the young emperor of Gaul has come from the carpet not far away, with long curly hair like a lion, and he is wearing a glittering gold decoration costume, making the young emperor look like he is in a glory, striding in the front, and the kingly demeanor is undoubtedly revealed,
Julils Fort looked up, and was greeted by the young emperor's piercing gaze, which felt like a knife gently slid down his throat, bringing a suffocating depression, (to be continued......)
