Conquest

    Chapter 404 [The Legendary Woman]

    The red round table organization, as an alliance group of the various warlords of the empire in the empire, is naturally the same, and the glory and shame – at least the external gesture is like this.

    In fact, this group has always been united. After all, it is impossible for any single Terma military region to compete against the Royal Family, the ancient empire of the Byzantine Empire, and it is impossible to compete with the Royal Family alone. And royal has been doing everything in its power for decades to abolish the Terma military region system, to try to weaken the warlord party's strength, the two sides are in the same situation, in this case, there is external oppression, then the Red Roundtable this group has the possibility of survival- With the oppression of the outside world, the internal will produce cohesion.

    Previously, this organization has been under the pressure of most of the Royal Family, and most of the heads of the military regions are clearly aware of their situation. As a separatist warlord of the Terma military region, if it does not confront the Royal Family, then it is a dead end.

    There is an episode here, and decades ago, the empire had encountered a miraculous opportunity – the empire at the time had begun to realize that the Terma military area had become a tumor that was parasitic on the empire's body, the upper layer. After beginning to realize this problem, I set out to try to weaken the power of the warlords. At that time, I encountered a rare opportunity. In the heads of many Terma military regions, there was such a Governor. I don’t know if it’s a brain, or if this person is really Grand Duke, or With the thought of serving the country, I really accepted the abolition order of the Imperial Central Committee.

    The Governor held the male soldier, and there was material on the site. However, under the abolition order of the Imperial Central, he actually gave up his land and army, and with his entourage left, he ran to Imperial Capital Osgiliath. It is.

    This situation, whether at the time or in later generations, is simply a chance given to the Zyx of the Byzantine Empire! Because of the time, the Terma military region did not really form a climate. Most of the military district Governors may not be really resentful. Even many people only have the ability to preserve their wealth and wealth, or have an existing status. The thought of most people did not form the idea of ​​subverting this empire.

    It can be said that if you want to cut down at that time, seize this opportunity, there may not be a possibility of a major breakthrough!

    As long as the empire can take the right strategy after the loyal Governor slams down, then maybe something can be…

    As a result, the emperor of the empire at the time was a confused egg!

    The imperial emperor not only lacked the wisdom of wisdom, but also lacked the mind and discouragement that the emperor should have. After the loyal Governor surrendered his army and came to Imperial Capital with his entourage, the emperor did something that was criticized and ridiculed for a long time by his descendants – he showed almost the majesty of his imperial power. Can't wait to order the Governor to arrest and hold it up! Then three days later, the Bad luck's Governor was hanged to the execution ground, and all the attendants who followed the Governor to Beijing were hanged together!

    The emperor seems to want to use this naive means to show his majesty, thinking that this can intimidate the military district Governors who are out of control.

    As a result, such stupidity is naturally impossible to get the result that the emperor expected…

    Originally, my heart was still swaying. I was still watching the Governor’s Military District. I didn’t have any resentful warlords in my heart. I was stimulated by this matter!

    If the empire at that time could be kind to the honest Governor, give it to the lord, give it enough preferential treatment, even if it is just doing it, set up a signboard role…Then there may be many Military District Governors who are not too ambitious, and maybe they will follow suit. After all – not everyone has too much ambition.

    For most people, it is enough to have a rich and prosperous life.

    As a result, the news of the glory of Governor and all the members being executed was spread, and the whole continent shook!

    First of all, the Governors of other military regions, the guys who had already swayed and hesitated in their hearts, immediately made a decision – not to surrender!

    The end is just in front! The guy who gave up the army and the site was arrested and killed as soon as he arrived at Imperial Capital! At this time, who is going to do this kind of thing, isn’t he looking for death?

    Although not everyone has great ambitions, many people just want to be rich and rich.

    But…Everyone does not want to die!

    The ridiculous actions of the emperor severed the last illusion of the warlords, and even pushed most of the warlords to immediately stand on the opposite side of the Royal Family without hesitation! Those who did not want to oppose it can only reverse it!

    Not vice versa is equal to death! What else is hesitant about this matter?

    It was at that time that when the first military region suddenly stood up and publicly stated: In order to strengthen the military equipment in the military region, the military region no longer paid taxes to the Imperial Central Committee…

    After the first leader made such a move, the other military regions followed suit, and there were even places where they began to expel officials appointed by the Empire.

    For a time, the military regions of various places have intercepted the fiscal revenues that should have been paid by the central government. Immediately, a more serious situation occurred: many military regions began to unite themselves, and several military regions bordering the site often began secret negotiations between Governor and Governor, and then agreed on a covenant to jointly enter and protect themselves.

    Soon, a small alliance began to appear on the mainland.

    At this time, in the face of such chaos, the imperial emperor of the Imperial Central made another wrong decision!

    If he had executed the Governor’s previous practice because he wanted to show the majesty of the imperial power – then, at this time, things have developed to this point. In the eyes of later scholars, the only emperor can take it. The correct way is: wrong is wrong!

    Since the situation is out of control, it will be tough! At that time, the national power of the empire had not weakened to the present level. The Royal Family still had a considerable number of troops in its hands, and the fiscal reserves were much stronger than the current central government of Byzantine!

    Taking advantage of that time, since you opened a tough head, it is better to fight a big injury, and when the Empire Central and the power are there, immediately launch a counter-war war!

    Since it is tough, it is better to be tough!

    If that is the case, even if the Empire will be greatly hurt after the event, it will be a huge war, but…At least at the time, the power of the then Royal Family could still suppress those military areas.

    Can be the result…NOTHING!

    The ridiculous emperor, after the beginning of the toughness, faced the actions of the military regions below, but they were actually scared!

    Obviously, he is just a soft guilty soft egg. When the time is soft, it is not soft, but when it is time tough, he can hardly get up.

    In the face of Governor's imposing persecution, the emperor immediately weakened. He did not have the courage to set off a war. He even took the default attitude in the face of Governor's fiscal taxation.Fear of war, fear of strong enemies!

    The centrality of the empire is so attitude, and the confidence of the warlords below is even greater.

    Since that era, the Imperial Central has declined day by day. Originally, if the Imperial Central Government made up its mind to rebel, at least there would be capital to fight this war.

    After the compromise of the soft egg emperor, the military regions of various places intercepted the fiscal revenue, and recruited troops to expand the army. The Imperial Central Committee lost most of its fiscal revenue, gradually weakened, and gradually formed a situation of strong and weak.

    After that, when the successor emperor wants to make a difference, people like Kontos, even if they have the heart and the local warlords, are powerless.

    It was also after that opportunity that the Imperial Central did not seize the rare opportunity to bury the good situation in vain.

    What followed was that the attitude of the local warlords became more and more arrogant. In the end, the small alliances of the two, three, two, and two, gradually became the big alliance. Soon after, the red round table was formally established. The members of the first round of the conference included the Governor's Military District, which was almost half of the time.

    After the organization formed the climate, it became the core group against the Royal Family.

    In the past few decades, the interior of the Red Round Table has been called unity, and at least on the big issues, it has maintained a consistent external attitude. Internally, it is also possible to achieve interoperability. For example, the high-quality iron ore and the excellent armor weapon equipment produced in the Armenia military region are only supplied to the members of the round table when they are sold abroad, and even refuse to sell to the Imperial Central!

    It is precisely because such a group has been posing with a sincere unity for decades. This time, when the Corsican military region was devastated, the escaped Governor of Gay, Gaia, would naturally The expectation of salvation is placed on his own allies.

    When the Japanese soldiers were defeated, Gaia was ambushed by Manninger in the field, and under the protection of a group of dead loyal soldiers, he took a bloody path to escape.

    At that time, he did not return to the city – the field defeated, most of the troops were finished, Gaia also understood that the city is certainly not able to keep it, and simply did not go back.

    And he took the person who wanted to escape to the east of the military region to reorganize the troops and re-raise, but the result is that Manninger is faster than he expected!

    Manninger took the opportunity to take down the capital city of Corsica and captured the old Carlos of Governor.

    Gaia was originally the second son of Governor! Although he has served in the military and has some loyalty to his army, he is only a second child!

    For a long time, it is the eldest son Cardoso who competes with him for inheritance! The eldest son is in charge, and the second son is in charge. This is a strange phenomenon in the Corsican military region.

    Although Cardozo's mysterious death on the way to peace talks (killed by the ambush of Shaar's people), Gaia removed an enemy who competed for the most inheritance.

    But after all, when Cardozo was alive, as the eldest brother of Governor, he was still supported by many people, although most of the supporters were local officials and a small number of local garrisons. Gaia’s supporters are his squadrons and the core elite of the Corsican military region.

    The problem is that in the battle with the Odin people, the main force loyal to Gaia is the worst loss! Gaia was ambushed by Manninger and almost lost all her belongings! After loyalty to his disintegration, he took a small number of people to the eastern part of the military region to try to rectify local power…The officials in those places are not too cold for this second son! They were originally centered on the eldest son Cardoso.

    There are even people who secretly rumor that Cardozo’s death, and the young Master Gaia, are afraid to get rid of the relationship.

    Under such circumstances, it is conceivable that Gaia can have a lot of appeal.

    The Manninger was fast-moving, and immediately marched eastward, and soon it was like a broken bamboo, and repeatedly captured the towns of the Corsican military region.

    Gaia and his subordinates couldn’t do anything about it, and they could only go on the road to escape again.

    This time, they put the hope of asking for help on the allies.

    The Besta Military District is located in the southern part of the Corsican Military District and borders the Corsican Military Region on the border of nearly three hundred miles.

    Moreover, the land and population of the Besta Military District exceeds the Corsican Military Region, and its strength is stronger than that of the Corsican Military Region. The status of the group in the Red Round Table is also higher than that of the Corsican Military Region.

    More importantly, the Basta Military Region is a staunch supporter of the Red Round Table Speaker El Salvador. As a staunch ally of the Speaker, it will naturally receive great preferential treatment.

    The Bersta Military Region and the Corsican Military Region are bordered by each other. The historical relationship is still quite good. The Corsican Military Region is a grain-producing area. Every year, the Basta Military Region purchases a lot of food from Corsica, so both of them have always been intimate. The relationship of allies.

    This time, the Corsican people suffered a catastrophe, and there was no way to go. Gaia naturally chose to flee the Besta Military Region.

    Moreover, the position of the Besta Military Region within the alliance is also quite high. Gaia tried to hope that this event had a red round table alliance to come forward to seek justice for himself. Then, he came to the Besta Military District for help, and then obtained with the alliance group. Contact, seeking help is also the meaning of the title.

    At the beginning, it was quite smooth. After at least one escape to the Battle of the Battlefield, Gaia and others received very good treatment.

    Meeting out to Gaia is not only the Governor Yuri of the Besta Military District, but also the glamorous Mrs. Governor.

    On the night of the arrival of the capital of the Besta Military Region, a banquet was held in the Governor's House, although the scale was not large, but the specifications were not low, and Gaia was shocked. And the specifications are all in accordance with the etiquette of Governor. That is to say, even if the Corsican military region has actually died, and Gaia is only a second son of Governor, the etiquette displayed by the Besta people seems to be the default Gaia for the new Corsica Governor. identity of.

    This made Gaia feel a little more stable.

    In the next discussion, the Yuri Governor Lord of the Besta Military District did not participate in the whole process. Instead, he only took a moment to excuse him to leave, and the protagonist who mainly talked with Gaia and others became that. A beautiful and charming Lady of Governor.

    For this, Gaia and others feel that it is justified.

    Because on the mainland, not only inside the red round table, but even in the Royal Family, there is such a joke: the Besta Military Region has two Governors, one outside the Governor and one in the Governor, one male in the Governor, and one in the Governor. A true Governor with a fake Governor. The former is the Lord Yuri Governor, while the latter is the Lady of Governor.

    This Lady Mrs. Governor is a female hero, intelligent and intelligent. She heard that Yuri Governor was fascinated by her fascination. Everything is true to her wife. It is the most famous fear on the mainland. Wife's pocket is abolished. Yuri Governor's talents in all aspects are considered moderate, and there is nothing extraordinary. It seems that he has not done any outstanding deeds in his life, but the only thing he is most proud of is to come back to such a wonderful wife. .

    The Lady of Governor is not only beautiful, but also has admirable wisdom and mind. With her presence, almost every political strategy in the Battle of the Battlefield is from the hands of the Lady of Governor. ! If it is changed elsewhere, a woman is in power, how can the following officials be convinced? But this Mrs. Governor is really talented, and the means are amazing. After she married Yuri Governor, in the past few years, the Besta military area has been well-trained and powerful army! Almost no one was upset to her, even the arrogant soldiers in the army, and they all bowed to the Governor.

    Yuri Governor rumors that the body is not very good, he and Mrs. Governor are considered wives and wives. In recent years, the eyes have already been spent, and the ears are said to have some backs. Most of the government affairs and things are thrown to his wife. He himself is raised every day. Spend birds and have fun.

    The place that Mrs. Governor has admired is that although she is trusted by her husband, the General District has the power to master it, but in the Battlefield area, at least the nephew of the lady department did not appear! That is to say, Mrs. Governor never reused her own family, her two brothers, one still in the small town in the military region is a small civil servant, while the other brother is running his own business. I have never intervened in the military affairs of the military region.

    Without cultivating the foreign powers, the officers of the military region who were originally hostile to the Governor of the Governor were greatly relieved. And from what Mrs. Governor’s actions, one piece and one piece, these years are almost all good for the development of the military region, and there is no way for them to benefit from their own or their own family. . Some even think that this "fake Governor" is almost the best of all the Governors of the Besta Military Region!

    It is also the talent of Mrs. Governor that makes the strength of the Besta Military Region more and more powerful. It will have a pivotal position in the Red Round Table Alliance and become a staunch ally of the Speaker of El Salvador. Otherwise, if you are too Weak, want to be someone else's allies, others are not necessarily seen.

    Of course, this Mrs. Governor is not without regrets.

    Or, the entire Besta Military District is worried about one thing.

    Yuri Governor has been over 50 years old, but so far there is no man or woman, no heirs, and it is getting more and more serious.

    Of course, this has become the trouble of Mrs. Governor…However, no one actually blames her.

    Because Yuri Governor was very popular when he was young, there have been countless lovers, but even those lovers, no one can give birth to a child for the Yuri Governor Lord.

    It can be seen that the responsibility of not being able to raise future generations may not be in the Governor Lord himself, and has nothing to do with this beautiful lady.

    And one of the lady's actions also won the hearts of the upper and lower, in order to pray that God bless himself to be able to give birth to an heir for the military region, the governor once went to the church to pray for God's blessing, and personally did a prayer service for the heaviest worship in the church She locked herself in the church's prayer hall, Praying day and night for worship, seven days and seven nights, during which time she fainted several times, and even the clergy in the church finally advised the lady to go down to rest, but the governor insisted on completing all the prayers.

    Afterwards, she was seriously ill, and the whole person was thinned a few times.

    Although she still couldn't give birth to a child, but up and down, no one would blame the respectable woman.

    Such a lady, who had mastered the actual power of the Besta military region, came forward to talk with Gaia and others, but instead let Gaia and others believe in the sincerity of the Besta military region – if the old Yuri Governor Lord In person, but to make people worry about whether the Besta people are dealing with themselves.

    At the time of the talks, the beautiful Mrs. Governor first used to soothe the lost Gaia with a breeze, and then reprimanded the Odin for his treachery with undisguised words, while vowing that the Besta military region had never given up the tradition of allies, facing trouble allies, The Besta military region will certainly do everything in its hands to reach out.

    For Gaia et al.'s hope that the Basta Military Region initiated a request to support the Corsican military region in the Alliance, Mrs. Governor did not hesitate to agree, and said that this is a matter of course.

    Then, under the Governor of the Lady, Gaia and others lived in the capital of Besta, and Mrs. Governor gave them a house that was comfortable and stylish enough, accompanied by a cover-up, and sent a number of servants to serve, and went to meet Gaia in person almost every day, There is no shortage of relief and encouragement in words.

    He also said that she had asked Yuri Governor to hand-write a document in person and hand it to the alliance group outside Osgiliath in the fastest channel, and strongly advocated that the alliance must stand up to support the Corsican recovery military zone, and also to Odin. People take tough measures.

    It seems that everything is moving in the best direction envisioned by Gaia and others…

    However, overnight, these things suddenly fell out one by one!
