　534 Secrets of the celestial sacrifice (1)

In Palawan after February, the weather began to warm. Two or three days after the last heavy snow, the weather has always been clear and cold. During the day, the sun warms the earth, and a thick winter snow and ice have accumulated. But in the evening, it can also make people tremble coldly. I don’t think that in recent days, the dark clouds enveloped the sky, and the gray mist misted the ground, like a light transparent ribbon, slowly flowing on the surface of the vegetation on the ground,

The wetness on the ground is still very serious, because of the earthquake in the previous period, the underground water channel of Palawan almost collapsed, the streets are muddy, there are water in many places, and there are speeding carriages from time to time, rolling up and splashing The water 1a spreads to both sides, and sometimes splashes on the foot of pedestrians on the side of the road.

　　Cleaning workers swept back and forth in the cold, but they could not completely eliminate it. This abnormal cold caused the residents of Palawan to start to worry a little. Before the demise of the Icadian empire, the winter seemed to be so cold. Isn't Ruidian going to repeat the same mistake? This terrible thought flashed in the minds of many people and disappeared immediately. No one dared to imagine the terrible consequences.

　　 The news of the victory of the Vikya Army in the Battle of Green, such as an irresistible fierce shocked the entire kingdom of Ruidian.

　　 "60,000 infantry wins 120,000 cavalry, what is this **** record, that is, 120,000 pigs will not lose so fast"

　　 Received a detailed defeat of the military headquarters Shangshu Prais, almost smashed the table in front of his desk, and used his own unique tone to scold the Kugit people for three consecutive days.

No wonder he was so angry, and finally through a series of **** battles, he just cheered up the morale of the people. Who knows, in a blink of an eye, Vickia emerged again. As the former opponents, everyone played the Kugits, But he was dragged down by hundreds of thousands of troops by the 60,000 Dongting cavalry, but overwhelmed by the 60,000 people over the 120,000 kujit cavalry, this huge contrast is just ironic of the incompetence of the Ruidian army ,

　　 "I can't believe it was a false positive, right?"

　　Reilian military service

Deputy Minister Steinhof said in a hoarse voice, after confirming the facts, he was also locked in a silent suffocation of suffocation, and even King Harlaus, who was recently in poor health, also sent the court's internal affairs officer Han Iglen summoned the Secretary of the Military Department Pleas to the palace to explain the situation.

Recently, Prais focused his work on the personnel movement of the army. The reason for this decision was the death of a local lord. This nobleman was called Duke Bordo, the lord of the South and Lake. He was a noble. There are taxation rights under ī, which combine wealth, wealth and power. In the fifteen years before and after serving as the heavy minister of the court, he has served as the minister of government,

During this period, he appallingly used his power to desperately search for wealth. Although he often involved many infamous unjust prison cases, the criminal acts of the aristocracy were originally more relaxed, and when it was really impossible to get rid of the blame He also skillfully used his power and financial resources to escape the punishment he should have suffered.

　　The Earl of Rug of the Ministry of Justice at that time satirized it with "great magic"

　　10b0

　　,

　　Even in the eyes of fellow aristocrats, its abuse of privilege has reached an uncontrolled level. As a pillar of the kingdom, if people do not obey some laws of being a noble, people's dissatisfaction with a certain minister easily evolves into distrust of the system.

The death of the Duke is really good news for the Kingdom’s Ministry of Finance and Justice. It can be said that it is a blatant opportunity to whip the corpse

This allows the public to know that even the big nobility can never be exempted from the law. In addition, it can also contain the countless "little bords" that exist in the nobility. Therefore, it is necessary to show the laws and kingdoms of the kingdom. The majesty of wartime laws. What's more, the public money and bribes received by Duke Bordo during his lifetime must be a huge amount. If it can be nationalized, it will be able to breathe a sigh of relief for the finances that have been oppressed by military expenditures.

　　Although it has been proposed to pay taxes to the nobility among the successive financial bureaucrats, doing so will inevitably change the policy of governing the country since then, and it may also lead to rebellion or court. But if only the Duke of Bordo is targeted, the nobles will naturally have much less opposition.

　　Following this report, there is a long-awaited military reform by Prais

Because of the excessive consumption of some time ago, and the influx of a large number of nobles from the north into the Palawan region, Prais has sufficient talents. Basically, he uses young officers from lower aristocrats or civilians to make first-line commanders. The average age of has dropped significantly. These young and brave officers have been given the title of cutting-edge. The unique vitality and domineering of the young people have greatly increased the combat effectiveness of Rui Erdian's front-line combat troops.

　　 But in these days, Prais always felt like something was lacking. The courageous and tactical frontline commanders were gathered, but he couldn't find a mainstay-like figure who could be called a famous general.

These passionate young commanders may be excellent fighters, but in a short period of time, they are still unable to qualify for more advanced positions. They also need to go through the forging of blood and fire before they can serve as the backbone of the Ruidian army. These Are the precious wealth of the Sri Lankan army.

　　 For those who have just added in and graduated with honors from Palawan Knight School, those noble-born staff generals did not have any expectations.

　　Because he is very aware of military capabilities, it cannot be cultivated by school education alone. The same is true of himself. There is no doubt that natural soldiers will become talents of the school, but conversely, the talents of the school are not necessarily natural soldiers.

　　 But these young nobles don’t think so, they have been trained as knights since they were young, have good education and background and strong family background, they have been a privileged class since birth

　　 Some of them are the nephews of the generals in the army, and some are the core members of the nobles of Kyoto. Now the military department has idled them, undoubtedly making these young nobles who think they are noble than the civilians sad and angry,

They are the privileged persons of Palawan and the group of people who have the most opinions on the recent personnel mobilization. For this reason, some of the noble ministers in Kyoto have already sue the military minister several times in front of King Harlaus, saying that his appointment of civilians has been shaken The foundation of the kingdom, even some nobles under the name plausibly called Praís a "traitor of the nobility"

　　For the latest military reform proposed by Prais, initially, the Minister of the Interior was the first to object,

　　Because of their full support for the Northern War, the military department of Prais is like a blood-sucking machine, constantly sucking the financial resources of all the personnel of Ruidian. Everything for victory is not just a slogan problem.

If you want to talk about pressure, the biggest is the Ministry of Government Affairs and the Ministry of Finance. In order to make up the materials that can start a new battle, these two departments are almost running all night long, and these two departments are the most nobles of Palawan. Where the gathering is, the Military Department now proposes this list of first-line commanders, but most of them are not their children. How can these busy nobles be reconciled

"Isn't this good?" King Harlaus gave a rare attitude to this controversial list. "As long as who can recover the lost kingdom, give him praise, sell his personal feelings, and always will. Good. If

　　 failed, it is the responsibility of Prais who recommended them. We will re-order the new Secretary of the Armed Forces."

"It's really good to say that." Seeing His Majesty's attitude, Minister of State Di Linard had to choose to compromise and act silly, as Harlaus said, if these newly-nominated commanders could defeat the Kugits, That reward is necessary, but if it fails, the position of the PLAIS Minister of Military Affairs will not be guaranteed, which is definitely good news for the Kyoto nobility who has always coveted this position.

"This is real?"

　　 is in the first knight's station, is packing up

In preparation for the trip to the three princes of the northern part of the country, Alex Sax, after hearing this news, his excited face was stained with haze. His first knighthood was composed of Kyoto noble children. This new appointment The book will undoubtedly cause a huge blow to the confidence of his subordinates,

"Yes, the adults of the Ministry of Military Affairs are really chilling: the knightly guard of the report is in front of him, and the **** said indignantly: "If those who are of low status can override the nobility, then the order of this world will not be set. Do we still want our honorable knight to salute a civilian? "

"Yeah, if so, who would respect our knights, who would fight for the kingdom to die?" Another knight echoed, and behind him, more than a dozen knight commanders gathered together, one after another to the king. Complaining, "Yeah, yeah, if you let these humble mice crawl on your head, you might as well let me die under the flag of the Hawk."

　　 "Prince Alexis is ugly. This news came too suddenly. Although he knew that Prais would make some big moves for the new strategy, he never expected this.

"This is a rumor, it must be a rumor." Ali Sakos tried to calm his emotions, turned his horse, and waved to the men who gathered around him. "The knight is the backbone of this kingdom, the patron saint of all Ruidians." This has been deeply in my soul since childhood, because this is my beloved father, His Majesty the Great King told me personally, so don’t listen to these rumors, we should fight the twelve-point jīg **** and let the opposite bank The Gite taught us the pistols of the Knights of the Sri Lankan Warriors, and let the Military Department take a good look at the strength of our knights.

　　 At four o'clock in the morning, Achemore was still quiet at night. The fat man stood in the dark, looking out through the window, only to see the faint lights in the yard, and there were temporarily added guard posts. During the cold season, the climate was still cold, and the air was faintly fragrant. the taste of.

The fat man stretched out, stood up from the mountain of political reforms in front of him, picked up the hot towel on the side dish and wiped his face vigorously, to make himself feel a little god, the upcoming tribal leaders meeting, involving all sides Because of the need for confidentiality, many jobs can only be done by a few senior military officers. Even so, the final judged work still needs fat people to do.

　　The fat man then picked up the glass on the table and took a sip. The cup is the bitter leaves of Kujit's specialty. It is not a refreshing thing to hear the name. This is a bitter grass root commonly used by Kujit herders to refresh, so it tastes very bitter and makes him wrinkle. Frowning, he put the cup back on the plate.

In the warm room, the fat man chose to sit on a chair, flipping a piece of worn leather in front of his hand, his eyes flashing a wise light, and there was a crackling wood burning in the fireplace in front of him, The red Mars is like a flowing warbler in the night, diffusing from the blazing fire in the fireplace, the warm breath spreads around the fireplace, dispersing the early cold

This is the study room of the fat man in Echemore. It turned out to be the bedroom of a nobleman in Ruierdian in the city. Because the fat man likes the layout here, it is reserved for his own use. The furnishings in the room seem to be very simple, but if it is If you are knowledgeable, you will now find it is a luxurious and amazing place,

　　 The room is generally round, just like most of the houses of Ai Chamor, the whole room is not very big, but in order to be able to weather the severe cold, the roof is often covered with mud on the roof

　　9c9

　　 has a thick layer. From a distance, it looks like a piece of yellow, orange and orange. Under the sunshine, it is like a gold of a Lei Lei.

　　 There is a simple bench to the left of the fireplace. On the wall, the sky 1a board, and the floor, all are covered with magnificent animal skins, and they are as soft as stepping on the most precious carpets.

　　 Among them are the fluffy Atolas lion skin, the colorful Montessori antelope hide, the legendary extremely rare nineteen-stag stag horn, and many species that are not even recognized by fat people.

The whole room is simply a precious leather exhibition hall. Except for some valuable varieties, most of them are obviously not the product of this big six, and I don’t know how much power and financial resources the owner of this house has 1a. The value-added things were acquired from the merchants who traveled to Yida 6,

One of the most interesting for fat people is a piece of reddish brown leather hanging on the right wall of the room. It is a map about one meter long. That’s right, this is the map. And the Dongting Kugits, obviously did not notice this worn leather, otherwise they would not have been here

When the fat man saw this for the first time, he determined from the layout in the room that this worn leather was not simple. Among the other precious leathers that were covered with walls on three sides, only this box was inconspicuous at all. Leather, hanging on a wall alone, shows that the owner of the room likes this leather very differently,

　　 The broken leather surface can't see the texture, but it can dominate a wall in the precious leather of the whole room, which is enough to prove other valuable leather. In front of this leather, it is not qualified to be tied with it.

　　 The fat man immediately took the leather off, and after a careful identification, the upper and lower grid lines dyed with green grass forage from the leather confirmed that this was a map a long time ago.

　　The era is untestable. The long years have almost smoothed the velvet fibers on the surface of the leather. Holding it in the hand gives a smooth feel. With the sharp eyes of the fat man, only some faint residues can be seen from the leather surface.

A triangle mark on the left side of the map is clearly the Achemore you are in now. A dark blue line extends downward from the Achemore mark, traversing the southern part of Vecchia, and finally extends to a lower corner of the map. The location of the identification, after being suspicious for a while, the fat man affirmed that this was a location after crossing the southern swamp,

　　 think of

　　784

The ancestors of the Kugits came from outside the southern swamp. The fat man is already certain that this map should be something that has been passed down from the court of the Kugit. It is likely that the map was from the northern movement 2 years ago. One of the many treasures lost by Wang Ting, a mysterious map that records the Icadivar Big 6 and another big 6 channel

　　 "creak"

　　 The study room was gently pushed away from the outside. With a crisp footstep, a graceful figure walked into the room. The beautiful and charming figure gave the early morning a beautiful note

　　The fat man doesn’t have to look up to know who it is, because no one can enter this house without attracting the attention of the outside guards, except for the Duke of Brant Bonnie, who is close to the body and a secret secretary.

Brant Bonnie wore an embroidered gold trace, a tunic v-shaped skirt, a slender 1ǐ wearing black leather long knight riding boots, and white lace edges on the cuffs, supporting a completely different dust from the past Temperament, the beautiful horsetail that is randomly tied in the back of the head, gives people a sense of impulsive vitality, a pair of bright eyes like a deep green lake, people can't help feeling intoxicated,

She has long been very well known as the 1a of the Sri Lankan Knights. She is the dream lover of countless Sri Lankan Knights. The identity of the Duke Qianjin makes her born with a noble temperament that people dare not look at. It’s just that in the past, the bloated and heavy knight costume covered this feature deeply, and I don’t know what the reason was. Instead, I changed to a light dress, and I couldn’t help but let the fat man look stunned.

　　 "This is the news I just received." Brant Bonnie put the folder in his hand on the fat man's desk. UU reads the book www.uukanshu. com said to the fat man who was reading a book attentively, "As you might expect, Rui Erdian really started with the three northern counties. According to our eyeliner report in Rui Erdian, just at the meeting of the Ministry of Military Affairs three days ago, The Grand Prince Ali Sachs personally ordered the arrest of eight northern three county lords who participated in the meeting."

"Ha ha

　　, it seems I can’t help it anymore.”

　　 Hearing Brant Bonnie’s words, the fat man who didn’t want to stand up, suddenly God stood up excitedly, strode to the table, picked up the documents above, glanced at it, looked at the corner of his mouth suddenly chuckled

"It seems that this Prince Alexis is not exactly a straw bale as it is supposed to be! He knew that he was arrogant, and he first adopted a placating strategy to reduce the vigilance of the lords of the three counties, and then used the name of the meeting to transfer these stupid people. I ran out of the territory, and the hands-on time and place were intertwined, quite sophisticated."

"That's just a puppet in front of him. If he had such a sophisticated method, he wouldn't come out now." Praise of the fat man, Brant Bonnie's expression of gritted teeth, she was very serious about the death of her father. I have been pregnant for a long time, and only reports related to this name, Brant Bonnie always used a contempt tone.
