2315 Wind Rise (3)

"The Empire's investment in the western part of Central Bia has added a bit of a busy atmosphere to the coming spring, and the wave of merchants who have been suspended by the freezing of the seas in winter has neatly looked at the Eastern Continent, which represents the richness and mystery of the commercial alliance, under the storm like an earthquake, "If the Empire can guarantee the safety and smoothness of this trade route, we don't mind turning this gold-filled sheep intestine path into a widened road." The news from the upper echelons of the business alliance has always been the weather vane of the merchants, because those adults have more resources in their hands, and they are more able to perceive the intentions of the upper echelons of the empire, especially the imperial military, in the entire history of the empire's expansion, the military is the engine that brings the most wealth and benefits, but this time, when the deacons of the commercial alliance made a resolution, and regarded the expansion of the eastern trade route as a prerequisite for the two new alliance deacons to enter the deacons, in this morning when ice was still floating on the frozen sea, a warm current from the merchants, spontaneously enough to melt the frozen era of the east and west continents that had separated them for thousands of years, the waves have already rolled" - from the seventh chapter of the third volume of the "Imperial Wind and Cloud Record", The Imperial Wind Rises"

On January 17th, the traditional New Year's calendar of the Icadivar continent, no matter how busy it was, in the first year of the establishment of the new imperial capital in the empire, the streets were hung with various celebratory objects, and the Falcon Emperor appeared on the streets of the imperial capital of the Great Sea City in the far north, and after receiving the cheers of the people along the way, the emperor entered the imperial hermitage, which completed the last building of the stargazing platform in November last year.

Standing by the window of the Imperial Grand Ballroom, through the glass windows decorated with delicate mandolin patterns, you can see the dazzling red Winter Palace, which is more and more enterprising under the snow, and some people privately say that it was dyed red by the blood of 300,000 people of Fei Shan, but for the generals of the Empire, the scale in front of them is magnificent, like the red Winter Palace with a sword piercing the sky. It is the ambition of the Falcon Majesty to conquer the four fields, if the emperor loses his sharpness and is content with pleasure, it is not a good thing for the ambitious imperial generals,

Reminiscent of the rumors that spread all over last year that the empire's territory would stop at Faisan, the generals couldn't help but surround Varissian, who returned from Faisan's front, and the total destruction of 300,000 Fissan troops made the prestige of this famous imperial general shock the entire Obarro, since the five big bosses of the empire. Varisien has become the sixth pillar of the empire,

'If nothing else, Faisan should not be able to save his zài before this year's summer celebrations!" The lucky general, who had just been transferred from the half-hung Gangfei Southern Governor to the Governor of Faysan, raised his glass and looked at his colleagues, his red face filled with a sense of pride that he couldn't hide,

Four Imperial legions, with a total strength of 140,000 Imperial troops, were in his hands, which was definitely the largest group of Imperial forces in the Central European Barrow region. Not only did it intimidate the entire Central European Barrow, but it also showed signs of pointing a sword at the Empire of Istanbul at any time, pretending to be a good person to express sympathy, while cutting the land of Fesan with a knife without sparing. Adopting the means of co-opting and dividing the nobles of the royal capital of Feishan, the forces of the royal capital of Feishan have been successfully divided into the insistent faction and the surrender faction, and the crown prince of Feishan, who has been suppressed, is about to vomit blood.

The past year. Both the Imperial Army and the Navy achieved a great expansion of the situation, and the Imperial Army defeated Gangfei. Later, the army entered the north of the Long Wall, realized the control of the former Slavic region, and in Central Europe O'Barro and Fessan, he killed a lot of people, and almost within a year, he laid down a territory as large as the Gang Fei Empire.

The Imperial Navy eliminated the old enemy Strant Navy, severely damaged the Fishan Navy, and also showed off its might in Kyoto of the Istanbul Empire, pouring the influence of the Empire into the entire inland sea area, and the Imperial Admiral Minister Dustrunkai in the Hérault Sea also sent back the news that the negotiations with the Hérao people were nearing the end, and under the strong pressure of the Imperial Navy, the Hérault local side agreed to use the port of Kello as a free port, in a sense, the port of Kello has been placed under the control of the Imperial Navy, but unfortunately the progress of the negotiations could not be faster, otherwise the hall is now filled with more than just the noise of the army generals

Compared with Dustronike's absence, the new star of the empire, the governor of the Eastern Province, Hayala, undoubtedly makes people look at it more, this chubby governor has a kind smile, a harmless Mo Yan, but he is worthy of the name of the first general of the Empire of Istanbul, and the record of defeating 200,000 Gangfei main forces in one fell swoop in the battle of Gangfei is enough to make the imperial generals look at it with admiration,

The imperial generals are like clouds, outstanding military achievements abound, there are many unruly people, but they are all people who lead troops, how do they not know the difference between being able to command hundreds of thousands of troops in battle, and only commanding thirty or forty thousand people, the emperor's emphasis on Hayela shows that this person is by no means as superficial as it seems from the outside, in fact, there is a falcon majesty that specializes in beauty, and the generals of the empire have long regarded the fat man as a dangerous mark,

"I heard you're in some trouble?" the fat man asked gently as he came to the new Imperial courtier, the Governor of the East, Hayera, with a wine glass

"Thank you for your Majesty's tolerance and help, and arrange a special fleet to help me transport my people, which not only greatly shortens the distance from the eastern province to the northwest, but also allows them to get a piece of land that is enough to live in" Hayela looked excited, this battlefield warrior who has been in the Istanbul Empire for half his life, his eyes flashed with deep gratitude, "There are more than a dozen tribes in the northwest wilderness people who have migrated south this time, and the number has reached more than 200,000, I heard that you have also made a bloody investment in order to encourage these wilderness people to go south." The fat man took a sip of the wine in the wine glass, and said with a little calm, "Not to mention taking out many years of savings, I also sold all the prosperous industries located in the southern region of Gangfei, and exchanged them for a boatload of grain and transported it back, but unfortunately more than 200,000 mouths, how can the industry of hundreds of thousands of gold coins be filled, and a large number of settled houses to be seen, just more than half a month, I heard that your money bag is empty and can run mice."

"If it weren't for His Majesty's emergency money, I would really be going to jump into the sea! Who would have thought that raising 200,000 mouths would be such a costly thing!" Ha Yela's eyes were red when he heard this, and his mouth trembled slightly, for a general like him who had seen a life-and-death battle, being able to have such an embarrassment was enough to prove how great the pressure was at that time, seeing that the hearts of the people of the southward migration tribe began to be unstable, and people had begun to starve to death in the cold winter, and even some bad habits on the plateau, people and cannibalism appeared. Hayela regretted it during that time, and he didn't know if he had done a good deed, or if he had brought hundreds of thousands of people to a dead end.

Fortunately, the emperor sent three million military relief and a large amount of food, according to the emperor, this is his own pocket, according to the customary resettlement fee allocated to the new people of the empire, not only the plateau wilderness people, the former Slavs, the Huns, the empire is equal to any race. But such relief is only once, the empire is not a place to feed idlers, if you want to be fed and clothed, you must take it with your own hands,

The empire not only brought food, but also threw the tens of thousands of Fei Shan's military equipment captured in the south of Fei Shan to him, if you really want to count these as money, you can add up to five million before and after, this is where the Falcon Emperor is ruthless. There is no food, but there are weapons and equipment, and on the opposite side are the centuries-old Islames,

"It's time for the Istan to pay for the blood!" It has long been an indissolvable intensity, thinking that a hundred years ago, the people of the plateau wasteland lived freely, with a population of more than two million. They even built their own cities and kingdoms, but eighty years ago, the Empire of Istanbul entered the plateau. After more than ten years of conquest and war, the number of highlanders has dropped from more than two million to less than one million, and in the following decades, the Iraqi border guards strangled at will, the harsh living environment, and even dogs are not as good as living in the wilderness.

Now the highland wilderness people who have been armed with the support of the empire, their hungry stomachs are growling, but they are holding elite weapons that they could not think of before, even if they don't need to agitate, they will spontaneously ask to march to the territory of the Iraqi people, they want to rob the Iraqi people's food, land, and all the qiē, and take revenge on the Iraqi people for decades of suffering, the relief food can only make 200,000 highlanders eat less than twenty days, and it is also the standard of one meal a day, for the highlanders, this is revenge on the Iraqi people, and it is also a way for themselves to survive, twenty days, they must find new food, otherwise you can only choose to kill the useless old man first,

At this time, even if Hayera still hesitates, the people below will not let him sway anymore, will the Iraqi people send troops? Hayela knows very well, no, he has been in the Iraqi army for so many years, if he is familiar with the internal struggle for power and profit in the Iraqi army, who else is more familiar with himself? The Falcon Majesty uses himself to contain the Iraqi Empire, there is really no more suitable candidate.

The Iraqi army is no longer the invincible elite that destroyed the Gangfei Empire that day, and now it is even more civil strife, the local forces are waiting and waiting, most of the warlike and experienced generals died on the battlefield of Fei Shan, and the gangsters who were left in the country by the previous emperor are all relying on the old and selling the old, holding the power of the military department, but they only want to make a deal with the new emperor and exchange more benefits for their children and grandchildren, these generals who are raised in Kyoto are already old, if they lead the troops of the imperial capital to the eastern province at this moment, it is like throwing away all the important cards at once when the results are about to be achieved, for this point, these veterans of the empire, who may have been determined to play four cards when they were young, will also choose to turn a blind eye to the current war situation,

The main force of the Imperial Army is deep in the Bavaried region, and the Imperial Army that entered from the Eastern Province is also entangled by waves of Faysan local troops, unless it chooses a large-scale slaughter policy, it will not be able to break through this entanglement in the short term, at this time, the Istan side can have an outstanding person, if he is willing to choose to give up the old feud with the Faysan people, and gather all his strength to strike a blow in the back of the Falcon Imperial Army, it may not be without the ability to turn the whole situation around, and the reason why the Falcon Emperor forced himself to march within twenty days is that he hopes to seize the opportunity to win these twenty days,

Twenty days will be the deadline for the end of this war of hegemony in Central Europe and Barrow, and Khayela is worthy of being the first general of the Istanbul Empire, and the direction of this war can be roughly inferred from the supply time of the imperial relief grain, but not everyone has such a sharp war sensitivity

For example, in the imperial capital of Istanbul, the second prince of Istanbul accelerated the pace of wanting to ascend to the emperor's throne in Kyoto, and the bigwigs of the Ministry of Military Affairs held the military power and did not let go.

With 30,000 troops from the Eastern Province conquering seven or eight small cities on the border in succession, the ministers of Istanbul began to denounce the military affairs chiefs for not ordering the assembly of troops, which was a traitor, a collusion between inside and outside, and a rebellion. Although the military bigwigs are strong, they can't afford such a crime, but to delay the assembly of troops, there are really too many ways for these veterans who have invaded the army.

The real elite have been lost to Fei Shan, who is looking across the sea, and most of the generals who stay in the homeland are small people in the local factions, and they are also cannon fodder for the Kyoto army, so it is better to keep the idea of keeping their own one-third of an acre of land, and the above will not give benefits. Whoever is fed to mobilize the army to fight,

Someone from the imperial capital came to ask questions, and the generals promised to do their best, but the staff officers and logistics officers in the army chased after the envoy and asked: When the time comes, who will protect its flanks when it is pushed to the front-line battlefield? Who will compensate for the loss of the troops, and what is the standard of compensation for the dead soldiers? What's more, it is still the winter when the road is closed by heavy snow, and many soldiers don't even have winter clothes, so why don't you ask the envoy to get hundreds of thousands of sets of winter clothes from His Royal Highness the Second Prince first, and the army is full. has clothes to wear and a settling-in allowance, so that he can risk his life to serve His Royal Highness the second prince, otherwise he will freeze half to death. Still hungry, how can you fight? Hayela also had to congratulate himself at the moment that he jumped in time, a ship that rotted from the roots. If it can be compared with the imperial giant ship in front of him, when he returns from here, he will start to attack the most prosperous Sun Province of the Istanbul Empire, and the emperor has privately stated that the empire will send 30,000 to 50,000 elites to assist him in the attack at the right time

Knock! knock! knock!" the huge bell ringing to signify the arrival of spring in the Empire, and the hall full of people fell silent

The fat man looked up at the night sky and saw several stars shining in the deep blue of the night. Entering the new year, the young conqueror, who is about to welcome the twenty-seventh cold and summer of life, radiates a sharp gaze like an ice arrow into the night sky from his deep black pupils. The ceiling of the hall made of hard glass, the dazzling starry sky like a long river, the time and space where I am located, is it psychedelic or real, some people say that he is a murderer, and some people say that he is the overlord of a thousand years, but so what, standing in this imperial hall at the moment, looking up at the starry sky, the moment of confusion, or more like himself,

It's a pity that there is not much time for himself to sigh, the fat man turned his head, and when his eyes gathered on the imperial generals in the hall, he felt the expectations of everyone here for himself and the empire, and the fat man understood in a moment what it meant to be a family and a country.

I am the world!

The fat man smiled slightly, walked to his table and raised his hand full of wine crystal glasses, "Come, cheers!" The fat man's voice resounded through the hall, as loud and shocking as ever, and the general also responded to his movements neatly and passionately, exchanging each other's eyes with the light waves reflected in the crystal glass.

"Cheers to the new year" "Cheers! for the feats—"

In the staggered toast full of domineering, a particularly loud voice strongly shook the eardrums of the whole audience, and the person who could make his lord laugh at such an arrogant and sovereign was naturally the vicious dog of the empire that was shining on his head, the governor of the southwest region, Salon, the absolute henchman of the emperor, wearing a black and slightly smaller imperial governor uniform, standing in a group of straight-fitting generals, like a huge wild bear mixed into the wolves, the crude but definitely the most terrible opponent of the battlefield general, the murderous and vibrant imperial ministers of the entire southwest region, this year, Salonn is the one who made the most money among the five big men of the empire, the Southwest Legion of the Empire and the Southwest Business Circlehas become the most dazzling part of the empire,

"Cheers! for the thousand-year foundation of the Empire!" Hayela shouted excitedly, "Yes, for the thousand-year foundation of the Empire!" and the crowd shouted in unison, looking at their lord with burning eyes, and raising their glasses high. Voices and expressions are somewhere between the proud and the proud. A smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he drank it all, and his eyes were full of imperial generals of the Shaozhuang faction, whether they were commanders or operational staff officers of front-line operations, they were all loyal believers in the Falcon Majesty's sentence "The truth is only within the scope of the imperial sword".

"Groups of energetic Imperial soldiers, the style of the entire Imperial Cornerstone is so high-spirited, the Empire has given them the highest glory and power, if the Emperor of Istanbul treats himself with such an attitude, do you still need to betray?"

I thought that this powerful and rich imperial annual meeting must be extravagant, just like what I experienced in Istanbul, but what I saw here was only the grand and not gorgeous, but full of vitality and momentum.

What's more, among the imperial generals present, it is likely that some of them will immediately set off for the battlefield at the same time as the banquet is over, I heard that the first battle of the empire is in the distant north of Changqiang, and the empire is windy! (To be continued......
