Section 3 Reverse Water
The emotional words of the middle-aged man in the garment immediately created great incitement among the civil servants, military generals and nobles in the hall. Everyone whispered and talked a lot.
At that moment, two people stood up to support the man in Chinese clothing: "Yes, Your Majesty, most of our territory is in the central and northern parts. If we are ruined by those barbarians, how can we survive this year? We are not like some of the people here, with great power and whatever they want. Of course they don't care. We all live on that little fiefdom. Your Majesty, you must make the decision for us."
The words of the middle-aged man in Chinese uniform directly touched the pain points of many people here, especially the great nobles who had no real power but had a high status.
Most of them were descendants of the heroes who followed the founding emperor to conquer the world when the Kaman Empire was founded. Although they still maintained their titles as time went by, many people were no longer able to participate in the imperial government affairs. They only rely on the empire's salary and the harvest of their territory to support their decadent and extravagant life every year, especially in the central and northern empire territories, which were their main source of income. Those territories were the fiefs obtained by their ancestors when they followed the founding emperor to beat the river. Many were obtained after conquering and driving away the local indigenous people, and a large part of them were seized from the hands of the Baiyin people who originally lived there.
Many indigenous peoples who originally lived there were conquered and gradually merged with the conquerors' nations. However, the stubborn and stubborn Boyin people were unwilling to surrender to the new rulers. Although they were defeated by the powerful force of the conquerors and rushed to the extreme north with cold climate and harsh natural conditions, their tenacious vitality made them settle down again in the extreme north and refused to recognize the rule of the Liberian countries, and harassed the northern regions of the Liberian countries year after year, and never stopped for hundreds of years. Although the Liberian countries also declared ownership of the areas inhabited by the Boyin people and divided the borders, none of the countries actually could effectively govern the area. For hundreds of years, they either had to suppress and cleanse or comfort them, but they had never completely solved the hidden dangers behind this.
Over the past few hundred years, several wise monarchs appeared among the countries of Liberia. When they were in power, they accumulated national strength, practiced martial arts, and tried to solve the problems of Baiyin people in one fell swoop. However, the army of the countries with a bitter and cold climate in the far north, and the natural conditions were harsh and poor. The army of the countries with lack of logistics support always achieved brilliant results in the early stage. However, once Baiyin people failed on the front battlefield, they immediately retreated to the mountainous areas with complex geographical environment in the far north, and adopted a tug-of-war tactic with the troops of the countries, forcing the army of the countries with difficult logistics and dissatisfaction due to the local conditions. However, because Liberia
The Asian countries strictly restricted and adopted heavy troops to garrison, and set a dividing line to prevent problems from escalating. They resolutely refused to allow Baiyin people to return to their old places. They would rather let many areas in the north be deserted than let Baiyin people enter. Baiyin people could not achieve great development under the strict natural conditions. The harsh conditions restricted them in all aspects. The most important thing is that their natural population growth rate was greatly restricted, so they could only accumulate strength year after year to wait for the opportunity, hoping to launch troops to invade the south whenever they had the opportunity.
In general, the powerful Liberian countries still had the upper hand when facing the unsatisfied Boyin people. In many cases, in order to enable their nation to survive, the Boyin people had to temporarily accept some equal conditions, such as although they paid special gifts and taxes in exchange for the conditions for Liberian countries to obtain commercial exchanges. However, once the Boyin people felt that they had the power of a war, they would miss the prosperity of their ancestors' living places, and the unique unyielding temper in the national blood would erupt again, and there would be rebellion and harassment every once in a while.
Since Gomez came to power, he has taken active measures to develop national strength on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has taken soft measures to appease Baiyinren, hoping to obtain a stable rear so that he can have enough strength to realize his strategy of southward advance. Seeing that the strategy of southward advance has begun to show results, he did not expect that the north, which had always thought it was still stable, still had problems, and there was a big problem as soon as it was released.
He knew that if he wanted to use the words of national interests and long-term perspective to convince the large group of nobles in front of him was purely delusional. These short-sighted guys only had their own personal interests in their eyes, and Bai Yinren's rebellion directly endangered their interests. Even if His Majesty the Emperor did not agree with his plan, he would agree with him in the court. Why did he rarely remain silent today? Thinking of this, Gomez glanced at His Majesty the Emperor sitting high on the imperial chair.
Dereka II's thin face still had the careless sleepwalking look, as if any military and national affairs could not arouse his interest. He just frowned slightly when the two argued, as if they thought that their voices were too loud and disturbed his thinking.
Seeing His Majesty the Emperor's strange appearance different from usual, Gomez was shocked. Could it be that His Majesty was already dissatisfied with what he did? Or was it because he politely rejected His Majesty's suggestion that His Majesty change a large manor in the occupied Gerok-Arc-Mark area into a royal hunting park? Or was it that some people below were already jealous of their own power and slandering him in front of His Majesty?
Many of these thoughts were just passing by Gomez's heart. On the surface, he still had the calm and calm expression. He cleared his throat slightly. Gomez replied with a smile: "Everyone, I promise you here that the riots in the northern Boyin people will be calmed soon. A corps sent to the north are already on the road. Once they arrive and join the local garrison, the savages of the Boyin will immediately pay a heavy price for their ugly deeds."
"Haha, Prime Minister, you are really good at telling jokes. Even if our imperial army is extremely powerful, how has the Baiyin barbarians been completely eliminated in the past few hundred years? The Prime Minister has been in office for more than ten years. It seems that except for pleasing and indulging Baiyin, everyone here seems to have not seen how Baiyin is doing? Do you think so?" The middle-aged man in a garment faced Gomez's burning and iron-like eyes, and talked carelessly, "Your Majesty, we can no longer indulge the Baiyin barbarians like this. If this continues, our empire's prestige will disappear among the neighboring countries, let alone talk about the grand and hegemony. I beg Your Majesty to make a quick decision and immediately send troops to fight against the Baiyin barbarians, and recreate the former glory of the empire."
The other party bypassed Gomez, the prime minister in charge of daily military and political affairs, directly asked His Majesty the Emperor for instructions, and immediately put Gomez in an awkward situation. If he interrupted the other party at this time, it would be offensive to His Majesty the Emperor. If he believed it, if His Majesty believed it and made a conclusion, even if he was unwilling to do so, he would have to accept it at that time. Moreover, His Majesty's strange performance today also made Gomez feel at a loss.
The words of the middle-aged man in the Chinese uniform immediately won the loud echoes of many nobles in the hall, and even many civil and military officials from great nobles also participated in the front of the middle-aged man in the Chinese uniform. You should know that their respective families have large territories in the central and northern parts of the empire.
Seeing that the situation has developed to such a level, Gomez is almost certain that today's dynasty is coming to his southward strategy. At present, Fanlin City, northeast of the Duchy of Delok, is trapped like an iron barrel, and it is already in his pocket. The capital Molington is also waiting to be killed by the city. Once Fanlin City is captured, Molington will fall into the hands of the empire, but the damn Bo Yinren will suddenly attack at this time and catch him off guard. He also knew that this would definitely stimulate the sensitive nerves of the veteran nobles in the court, so he immediately drew a corps from the battlefield of Fanlin City to return day and night, hoping to block the mouths of these guys, but he did not expect that this dynasty would still cause such a big storm, and the ferocity of the momentum was much more than his expectations. Even His Majesty, who had always supported him, had a vague attitude, which made him very shocked.
Unfortunately, the two major military giants who supported him and were born in a noble family were on the battlefield. The ministers who were usually kind to him also did not dare to speak out because of the anger of the crowd. Two or three of them were even out of the list to speak, and were frightened by the fierce eyes of the large group of nobles and retreated.
All of this is in the hands of His Majesty, who usually has few words to the emperor. Dereka II, with a tired face, seemed to have not realized that he had become the focus of the two major factions in the court. After thinking for a moment, Dereka II said indifferently: "Since all the ministers think that the problems of Bo Yinren in the north are serious, I think that there is a serious problem in the foundation of the empire and cannot be taken lightly. However, the battle situation in the south is also a major event that I agree to, but the battle situation in the south is already deadlock. I don't think that it can solve the problem in one or two days. It is better for the Prime Minister to arrange for the appropriate troops to return to the army and solve the problems of Bo Yinren first."
Gomez felt a chill. Although His Majesty did not make any specific arrangements for his words, and even handed over all important matters to himself, his words revealed a clear message, that is, it is necessary to solve the problems of Bo Yinren to calm the strong dissatisfaction of the nobles.
But this was a very tactful reminder from His Majesty that Gomez could only bow with a sincere face.
"Okay, everyone has been here for a day. Why don't you go to Xiyuyuan tonight? I'll ask you all to relax today. I heard that the acrobatic troupe from the Central China continent is very exciting, so I'll enjoy it with you. The Prime Minister worked hard day and night, so go with me." After talking about the serious work, Dereka II immediately recovered his spirits. When talking about these entertainment and curiosity, he was a hundred times more energetic.
Looking at the figures of everyone leaving, Gomez's warm face slowly became gloomy. Today's court meeting gave him a deep lesson. It seemed that he was still a little careless. Bai Yinren was against the water at this critical moment, completely ignoring the kindness he had given them over the years. The collective opposition of the nobles in the court and the vague attitude of His Majesty the Emperor had to think deeply about how many things he had not mastered behind this.
