1890 Tolerance of Sacrifice (4)
Gangfei 1.12 military admonition was later named "the night of the purification of imperial power" and "ominous night" and other aliases, As the incident broke out before dawn, it was quickly quelled before dawn, and the whole incident lasted less than two hours, because the minister's mansion was isolated from the civilian area, so that even many civilians in the city could not notice that while they were sleeping, a fierce power struggle had been settled, like a sword out of its sheath, and it was quickly retracted into the scabbard after the sharp cold was dazzling, leaving only the historical researcher with a thrilling moment of splendor.
After dawn the next day, the intelligence officers of various countries reacted, at such a critical moment, they were actually asleep, panicked intelligence officers looked around for clues that they might find, they walked in front of the official residences of the former important ministers that had been burned to ruins, although they did not know what happened exactly, but the ruins emitting black smoke in front of them were enough to show that the sky had changed!
Because of the tight schedule, the different positions of various countries, and the intelligence officer's understanding of the matter, the content of the report sent back to China is also all kinds of strange things, some say that the Ninth Army rebelled that night because of the poor treatment, and tried to storm the emperor's residence to snatch military salaries...... The poor one was suppressed, and it was reported that the commander of the Ninth Army, Mekaya, was lustful as a man, because he had a deep resentment with the third nephew of the second brother of the Minister of the Interior, the head of the stable, for the sake of jealousy and snatching women, and as a result, a strong unrest broke out, and the most direct way was to cut down the biggest backer of the Minister of the Interior!
The most bizarre is the report delivered by the intelligence officer of Veronia, a second-tier power in Central Europe and Barrow
The intelligence officer, who had spent the night in his lover's house in the countryside outside the city, returned in a carriage in the early hours of the morning, only to find that the gates had not been opened at the right time, and it was not until 10 o'clock in the morning that the gates were opened, and the turmoil in the city had completely subsided, but the streets and alleys were full of rumors
"Hell, I'm going to be called back for dereliction of duty and executed in secret!
The intelligence officer returned to his official residence in the city. In a small room on the second floor of a small hotel in the city, the servant who stayed behind told him in a panic that he had a big situation last night, and then he suddenly secretly regretted that he was not in the city last night, because he was afraid that he would be reprimanded by the country, he came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a liaison officer to ask about the night, and the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs warmly received him, "I heard that there was a disturbance in the city yesterday?" The intelligence officer of Veronia drank the sugar water sent by the staff, and asked without hesitation, "Lord Filo, pay attention to your words!" Our country is very stable. There is no turmoil, and there will be no turmoil!" The person in charge of receiving him was Viscount Ficaro of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he only made a slight gesture that last night an officer was drunk and had a fight, and accidentally set a fire, which affected the mansions of some ministers
"I see that half of the street is gone, and there are seventeen or eighteen villas!, and I have heard that quite a few people have died!" said the Veronian intelligence officer, who was not stupid, "You know, the wind at night is not ordinary. It's not a problem to burn down half of the city with one fire, as for the dead, it's too normal in a fire!" Viscount Ficaro was very professional, and he insisted that it was because the officers were drunk and making trouble. Accidental arson caused a huge fire,
The Veronian intelligence officer was embarrassed and said, "I can't explain this, for the sake of the friendship I thought, you should give me something about the past!" "Okay." You take this!" Viscount Ficaro gritted his teeth, took out a stack of reports from the drawer with a helpless face, and handed one of them to the Veronian intelligence officer opposite, "Actually, this is not a glorious thing. In fact...... Hey!Forget it!You'll understand it when you read it!""Dishonorable thing!" The Veronia intelligence officer became excited, and his ears immediately stood up like a dog, which was completely a professional habit, he opened the report in front of him with a curious face, his eyes almost straightened, I'll go, it's such a big scandal, no wonder the inhuman wants to hide it,
"For the sake of past friendships, I only know that this matter must not be passed on casually!Otherwise, I will die!" Viscount Ficaro shrugged his shoulders, cautiously closed the report, sealed it with melted red wax, and stamped it with top secret words, "Of course, of course, how can I just be that kind of person!" The Veronian intelligence officer stood up apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince of your country to ...... like this"
"My majesty is also very sad! That is his most beloved uncle! The only person in the world who is really helping him, you know that their uncle and nephew have a very good relationship! His majesty has just given him a most cherished little red horse, and now, he has been posthumously presented to the prince's palace as the regent!"
"Regent, what a touching feeling!"
The Veronian intelligence officer was moved when he heard this, and he actually pouted secretly in his heart, who are you fooling, a dead man still has the ability to be a regent! As for the relationship between their two uncles and nephews, as long as they find any person to know, they can't wait to strangle each other directly! However, the country is in such a crisis, and the important ministers and the military in the country are still in the mood to do such a thing.
"On the evening of January 12, the officers of the Ninth Army of Gangfei collectively became drunk and became animalistic, storming the Moulin Rouge, the largest brothel in the city, because of a dispute, resulting in the death of 19 ministers under Prince Gangfei Dunad, and then in order to destroy the corpses and destroy the traces, they continuously set fire to the minister's mansion...... The emperor was furious and sent the Praetorian Guard to capture 124 officers below the Merkaya of the Ninth Legion at dawn, which was really a beautiful and admirable means...... The Veronian intelligence officer shook his head secretly, everyone is not stupid
The truth of the incident is not important, what matters is the result, Prince Gangfei Dunad is dead! The minister is dead, and the power structure of the upper echelons of Gangfei has changed! This is enough! With the contents of this report, the intelligence officer of Veronia hurriedly left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Gangfei
In one of the villas, the young lieutenant handed a report to Sidney, the Falcon Empire liaison officer, "My lord, this is the content of the night sent by the intelligence eye in the city!"
Sidney took the report, which read: "The accident broke out on the night of January 12, when Mekaya, the commander of the 9th Regiment of Gangfei, suddenly set fire to many of the minister's temporary residences, causing damage to Yan Zòng, a member of the core of the power of the Empire...... Prince Nade of the Gangfei Empire was engaged in a battle with the rebels, and in the early hours of the morning, the Janissaries intervened to suppress the incident, and the incident was quickly quelled, but His Royal Highness died suddenly in the palace. The Emperor was furious and ordered the arrest of 124 officers of the Ninth Regiment below Mekaya, of whom 17 were sentenced to death, 39 to imprisonment, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were acquitted because they were only obeying the orders of their superiors! Thinking that the culprits had been severely punished, the ministers agreed to attend a meeting convened by the Emperor in the afternoon! The Emperor appointed a new Minister of Finance and Internal Affairs ......!"
"So, Du Nade is dead! Emperor Gangfei has newly mastered the power to appoint ministers!"
Sidney, the Falcon Empire's liaison officer in Congo and Africa, turned gloomy and pressed the report heavily on the table. Picking up his glass, he took a sip, the faint taste of which stimulated his taste buds, and for the first time, Sidney felt that this red wine from Goude tasted very similar to the taste of blood
Gangfei has repeatedly lost on the battlefield, and was even persuaded by the ministers to abandon New Kyoto,
Many people think that the little emperor is becoming more and more like a puppet of the ministers, and as a result, this sword. It was staggeringly fast! With a sword in his throat, he killed the powerful ministers at once, killed the people who threatened the throne, and also eradicated the unstable southern youth faction. In the end, all parties agreed to compromise!
The word flashed through Sidney's mind,
Overnight, the ambitious prince of the palace, the minister who holds the lifeblood of the empire. If the military radicals, who have been defeated one after another, want to sort out these relations and coordinate the interests of all parties. Even the most capable emperor takes years, even decades,
However, this qiē disappeared after just two hours of violence, and the Gangfei court, which was originally a tripartite anti-ritual pattern, returned to the emperor's original face overnight, military power, financial power, internal affairs power, people's hearts, and military hearts,...... Now everybody can see that
The emperor who ordered the suppression of the rebellion was the biggest winner of this turmoil, "My lord, how should we report to the country?" The young adjutant raised his head with a very embarrassed face, "I feel that this matter, no matter what kind of attitude we have, will be considered related!" "You're right!"
Sidney took a deep breath, and didn't know how to answer for a while, this happened suddenly, and the end was even more sudden, just out of the sheath, his throat was sealed, and he didn't know how the heavily guarded Prince Dunad died!
Sidney felt like he had been designed,
It won't be long before the news that the general named Merkaya met with the Falcon Empire's liaison officer before the incident will spread,
That's enough, even though the Falcon Empire was not involved in this matter, or did not expect it to happen at all,
But there is no statement, it is precisely a statement,
The other countries all knew about the delicate relationship between the Falcon Empire in the North and the Gangfei Empire, and most of them thought that behind this incident, if there was no shadow of the Falcon Empire that was deploying heavy troops in the southern Putao, it would be a hell of a thing! The Falcon Empire acquiesced in this incident, and even the black hand behind it! "Immediately send the report to Putao intact and present it to Her Royal Highness Princess Tulit!" Sidney said with a solemn expression, looking out the window, there was a faint thunder rolling in the gloomy sky, it was spring thunder!
The Falcon Empire's Putao border is less than five hundred miles away from Besuka City, according to the speed of the carrier pigeons, the letter that was supposed to return on the third day still does not have the slightest information, it can't be a problem on the way!, as the Imperial liaison officer in Congo and Africa, Sidney's life can be described as a year.
Within two days, he had received a letter of visit from the foreign affairs officials of 16 Central European and Barrow countries
Among them, four countries accused the Falcon Empire of extending its hand too long, seven countries said that Gang-Africa was the scope of the Central European Baro, and that the Central European Baro affairs would be resolved by the Central European Barrow, and the Falcon Empire had crossed its authority, and three countries said that if the Falcon Empire went to war against the Falcon-African, they would do their best to assist the Falcon-Africa and form a coalition to fight against the Falcon Empire.
Even the Sea of Strand, which has established a commercial alliance with the Falcon Empire, was forced to make clear its stance on aiding Gangfei this time, "Bastard, what's going on?"
Sidney was a little stupid, in just two days, how could the entire Central European Baro stand on the opposite side of the Falcon Empire, and the empire did nothing in this matter, and the Gangfei Empire was in a weak posture, but unexpectedly got rid of the situation that had been isolated before, and the adjutant brought news. Sure enough, because of Mecaya's visit, I don't know who was behind the scenes, and before the incident, the news that Mekaya, the mastermind of the incident, had secretly visited Sidney, was maliciously spread, arousing the anger of the Central European and Barrow countries
This made the Falcon Empire spend a lot of effort to build a good image in the Central European Barrow region to face the collapse of the situation, and it has been rumored that the Falcon Empire instigated the Ninth Legion of Gangfei, which was dissatisfied with the current situation, to mutiny, and then swallowed the declining Gangfei Empire in one gulp. Or take advantage of this incident to completely turn the little emperor Gangfei into a puppet
The crowd shouting slogans of revenge to the Falcon Empire can already be seen on the street, Sidney has not dared to go out these days, and strictly ordered everyone in the mansion not to go out, except for the cook lady, who is the only one in the mansion, everyone knows the Gangfei eyeliner, but everyone has not broken it, this time it finally came in handy, after Sidney expressed some concerns in front of her. The Gangfei Empire quickly sent additional guards outside the mansion and sent someone to deliver food!
"Is there any news from the Emperor?" Sidney walked impatiently around the room, the light outside was not good, and he saw the adjutant come in. Hurriedly asked, "No, we submitted our request to attend Prince Dunade's funeral two days ago, but it was like a stone!" The adjutant looked haggard and his face was ugly. He could also feel that this time it was definitely a big trouble, "In this way, the other party clearly refused our request to attend the prince's funeral. It is clear that we want our Falcon Empire to carry this black cauldron!" Sidney punched the table, and his eyes, which had been sleepless for two days, were bloodshot like cobwebs!
It's been the fifth day, and there's still no news...... Could it be that there is really no power to return to the sky, Sidney is a little desperate, "My lord, reply, reply from Putao!" An attendant pushed open the door, with excitement and excitement on his face, waving a small hollow woodpipe in his hand, "What, Putao's response!" Sidney jumped up from the bench with an excited expression, took three steps and made two steps, ran over and took the woodpole from the hand of the attendant, opened the wooden cork on it, brought out a small strip of finger width, his eyes nervously swept over the contents, the hand holding the note trembled slightly, and his face showed a look of ecstasy, he was afraid that he was dazzled, so he confirmed again, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Putao Huixin, Her Royal Highness the Princess will come to Besuka in person! Is this possible?" The adjutant was also frightened by the princess's personal arrival, and said with a hesitant face, "It's okay not to clarify, the 60,000 troops of the empire in the Putao area have already marched into the border of Gangfei today! Marching fifty miles every day, if Gangfei refuses to clarify, ten days later, the imperial army will be under the city, and at the same time, the warships of our imperial navy have sailed to the port in the south of Gangfei."
Sidney's expression was extremely excited, he really raised his eyebrows, and swept away the grievances in his heart for many days, and said with a smile, "Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is good at foreign affairs, is really at stake, when the normal way cannot show an attitude, naked force is more effective than anything, and now I am looking forward to the expression of just the people who received the news, and now it is their turn to have a headache,
Although the Congo Empire still has 200,000 troops in the south, their army is still scattered, and the navy is equal to nothing, and without preparation, they dare to bear the risk of war with the Istan and the Falcon Empire at the same time? As for those Central European countries, don't look at the swearings they say, what will fight against the Falcon Empire with the Gangfei people, in fact, when the war really breaks out, no one will come to this troubled water, if they are all such righteous guys, they will not sit back and watch the Istan people continue to devour the north of Gangfei and don't even dare to shout loudly!"
"Then what are we going to do now?, do you need to tell the news to the people?" the adjutant said with a happy face, "No, we don't have to do anything" Sidney waved his hand, and smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, "Didn't those bastards refuse to meet us? Then we won't see them, you go to the door to tell the sentry that is not human, from now on, I am sick, very sick!"
The news that Sidney, the Falcon Empire's liaison officer in Congo and Africa, was sick reached the base camp of the Janissaries in the Republic of Congo and Africa half an hour later, and the old man, who was immersed in the army mobilization, frowned slightly, put down his quill pen, glanced at the Praetorian Guard officer who delivered the news, and asked in a condensed voice, "Are you sure?" The Falcon Empire's liaison officer declared himself sick?" "Yes, my lord!" the Praetorian Guard officer said respectfully, "Then let him be sick, he must have been desperate!" Marcos said noncommittally. How are the preparations for Prince Dunad's funeral going?How many countries have decided to send people to attend?""The funeral preparations are going well, a total of sixteen countries have announced to send people to attend, and the highest status is the First Lady of the Sea of Starrant!" The Praetorian Guard officer said with a somewhat teasing expression, "Oh, you mean the witch of the Turit family who was just married a few months ago?" Marcos's eyes lit up, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and he said slowly. I heard that this lady is extraordinary, and she is also a prophecy shrine maiden of this generation in rumored!
Her presence basically represents the attitude of the sea state, is it true that the rumors made some time ago are true? The Strait Sea Kingdom wants to change the century-old strategy of the sea state to dominate the sea and begin to seek interests on the land in this troubled era......!
