Realm of Power

The drizzle was like silk, and it was approaching dusk. The rain came from the south of the Inland Sea, crossed the Inland Sea, and turned the Feishan area on the opposite side into a mud. A wide merchant ship sailed into the port of the Feishan area ahead. A large number of various ships have docked in the port. Most of these merchant ships are from Across the inland sea, the golden port of Hérault, the Imperial Navy Ministry has just issued a navigation order requiring that all merchant ships traveling to and from the eastern coast must transit for supplies in the Feishan area before they can continue westward and sail into the waters of the Barro region of Central Europe. Such With an order, the number of merchant ships on the Feishan coast exploded.

It is conservatively estimated that at least three hundred merchant ships dock at the Feishan coastline every day. The goods and business opportunities brought by these sudden increase in merchant ships can be said to be huge for the Feishan coastline. Feishan, known as the place where imperial decrees were forgotten, suddenly turned a barren area into a hub connecting the two coasts of the inland sea.

The merchant fleet is endless, and the lights of the expanded port are bright day and night.

For the Feshan people in the coastal city, this rain is like a sign that winter is about to pass. Although it is still raining in the sky, the streets are already full of people, not affected by the weather at all, and it is a prosperous scene. The originally dull and depressed atmosphere was also swept away.

The large number of merchant ships arriving in the port not only provided more jobs, but the port expansion project also attracted a large number of Feishan refugees, and a large number of chambers of commerce from the empire also flocked to Feishan. The current Feishan is very poor, but has potential Infinitely, the trend that the empire is about to vigorously develop Feishan is already on paper. With such an order from the Imperial Navy and the appointment of Plais, the former most important minister of the empire, it will only be realized later when Feishan develops along the coast. The price paid will undoubtedly be huge,

"The Feshan coast area will become the second Lisbon, becoming the golden twins on both sides of the inland sea and the Port of Hérault in the south." This is said by an authoritative person within the Imperial Navy. After the noble rebellion subsided, it has always been given to people. The empire, which was influenced by cruelty, for the first time pardoned all the Feishan nobles who surrendered. It can be seen that the emperor is about to take big action against Feishan.

If it were not the emperor, who would dare to turn a bloody storm into a silent spring rain that moisturizes things? The new governor of the Feishan region, Plais, who was just appointed by the empire, was a close confidant of the emperor and was once again used by the emperor. Moreover, the two major areas of Feishan and Istan were placed under its management at once, which was an earthquake for the entire empire's military and political circles!

Plais is a veteran of the empire and has been with the emperor since the time of the empire's unification war. His daughter is one of the ten princesses of the empire and a leading figure in the Ruidian faction in the empire. If it hadn't been for an accident two years ago, He must be the prime candidate for the imperial prime minister. The emperor has expanded explosively in the past two years. He has successively appointed the Eastern and Western Courts. He has activated the Murphy family of the Gaul Empire, Yue Shan, Li Yuehua and other upstarts of the empire to serve as the empire. To expand territory, we need to talk about the origin of the empire. It is impossible for the old school to have no excuses. After all, the outbreak two years ago can be said to have touched the emperor's bottom line. Even the confidants like Plais were beaten to the end. For those who originally belonged to Yi Kadiva Grand It was also an earthquake-like fluctuation for all the forces in the land. They have been walking on thin ice in the past two years, and even Princess Ruier Dian has kept a low profile. She is far less glamorous than the princesses of the East and West Courts, who have made outstanding achievements on the battlefield. Stealing the limelight,

And now, the emperor has re-enabled Plais, which means that the emperor has turned that page, and what happened two years ago will no longer be pursued! Plais's entry into Feishan is a big event for the original Ruidian faction of the empire. Among the major forces in the empire, there are the northern grasslands in the east and west, the thousands of miles of fertile wilderness beyond the long wall, and Onnatso. In the Great Swamp, there are only four Imperial Legion-level figures, and the number of soldiers under his command reaches 200,000, serving as the emperor's gold-medal thugs.

Second only to the five front-line army commanders in the empire, although the mountain Dorok people have mediocre performance in the military world, due to the influence of Doze, Dorok politicians frequently appear, and they play a decisive role in the imperial political circles.

Out of every three regional administrative officers of the empire in the Obaro region, one must be a Dorok. Although the Salanders were repeatedly suppressed by the emperor and completely turned the holy religion into an embellishment of the imperial power, they still retained the Salanders. Land Island is a private land, and the sky religion of the Salander people has been raised to the level of a state religion by the emperor. It can be found in all major cities in the empire. It can be said to be unique in the field of science, education, culture and health of the empire.

Even the Nord faction, which had to resist the emperor and surrendered in the end, now has the coastal area of ​​southern Fezer as its sphere of influence. The Empire's Southern Second Army in the Fezer region is like a Turkish emperor in the Fezer region. , 80,000 Nord war troops sharpen their swords and point to the south, everyone in the southern countries is at a clear distance

As the most powerful people in the past, the Ruidian people who suppressed other countries in the past are now in embarrassment. The empire is flourishing in the Obaro region, destroying countless countries and expanding its territory several times. However, Rui Erdian didn't even have a place where he could take action. Two years ago, Rui Erdian sent The princess was encouraged to seize Lisbonto, which has unlimited potential in the south. In fact, she was forced to panic. Unexpectedly, the emperor's bottom line was touched. The emperor hit him back with a stick, and also took the most important pillar figure Pula with him. Yisi took a ride in, and it was extremely miserable.

And now, Plais suddenly took over the Feishan and Istan regions. Although they are far away from the empire, they were once the foundations of powerful kingdoms, especially the Istan region, which gave birth to the Istan Empire. The core place of a powerful country , are now in the hands of Pudais, the Ruidian faction is overjoyed, and naturally spares no effort to support Plais. Princess Ruierdian personally came forward to request, and finally the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Empire announced that it would Refugees in Feishan area give To provide relief, they mobilized merchant fleets to mobilize a large amount of grain from the Central European Barro area and transported it to Feishan. Many Ruidian elites entered Feishan as regional political officers to appease the refugees in Feishan, and then took advantage of the heat to strike. , Governor-General Feishan’s Mansion has continuously released A series of recruitment orders announced a series of large-scale construction projects, from the expansion of port cities to the construction of imperial highways across the coastal areas, recruiting labor from the refugees, and settling the refugees in Badiya Port as the center. Eight first-line port cities

With this allocation, a large number of Feishan people moved to the coastal area to settle down. Villages were built one after another, running through the coast. The imperial trade routes along with the major ports developed rapidly, greatly shortening the time from one port city to another. time, it can be regarded as a solution to a certain extent to solve the unique problem of difficulty in crossing the Feishan Mountains by land.

Most of the Feishan Kingdom is mountainous, and only the coastline is flat. Feishan Governor's Mansion has often tried to move the mountainous population to the coastal line, but there have been very few responders. After a year, there are only three or four thousand people. people, partly because mountain dwellers do not see any improvement in moving to the coast

On the other hand, it is also because of the tolerant nature of the Feishan people that for hundreds of years they have been pushed back and forth by the forces of the East and the West. The Feshan people in the flat areas have been tortured. On the contrary, the mountains have given the Feshan people the best barrier. , so Feishan people prefer to live in mountainous areas rather than flat areas. This is a subconscious sense of self-protection.

But this time, most of the refugees came from the mountains, and the empire took advantage of the situation and resettled them into the coastal areas. The coastal area that originally occupied only one-fifth of Feishan's total population now has a population density of three-fifths.

Just like the city in front of you, this medium-sized city in the Feishan Coast region had a population of only more than 20,000 people. Now it has suddenly grown to more than 60,000 people. It is difficult to avoid the flow of people.

What's more, with the Badiya Port in Feishan's coastal area as the center, eight port cities are being expanded and constructed at the same time. The Hakara family, known as the most wealthy family in Feishan, has even announced that it will invest tens of millions of imperial funds in large-scale construction in these eight cities. Casinos, villas, widened roads, expanded ports, more than 200,000 laborers were mobilized, and ships transporting various materials were crowded on the docks.

A month ago, almost all the people in Feishan said that the Hakara family was crazy. The noble rebellion had just been put down. In a place like Feishan, a shabby area that even the top officials of the empire refused to look at, the Hakara family actually destroyed it in one go. 10 million imperial gold, this is no longer just throwing the money away, it is just throwing the money into the sea.

But now, everyone is extremely jealous.

As soon as the imperial decree came out, Fei Shan's status along the coast immediately rose infinitely.

The eight port cities invested by the Hakara family are the top priority of the Feishan coast. They are hubs among hubs. As soon as the port expands, the fleet immediately fills the port, and a large number of merchants and sailors dock and land. From goods to taxation, it has brought countless benefits to the city, and places that were originally neglected Section, coupled with the rise of large-scale casinos, immediately attracted everyone's attention. Now every inch of land is valuable, and major chambers of commerce are pouring in to seize prime locations in ports and terminals. However, most of these locations are occupied by After the Hakara family bought it, even if it changed hands, it would be a huge profit.

Envy, jealousy and hatred, this is what the nobles of Feishan are thinking at present.

"It's good to just follow the empire. Look at the Hakara family. In just a short time, it has grown like this. Isn't it just that they embraced the lap of the former imperial governor and jumped from a regional aristocrat to the most wealthy family in Feishan? Now it's even more... There is a transformation from the most wealthy family in Feishan to the most wealthy family on the eastern coast of the empire," someone said sourly.

"I don't know what kind of luck the Hakara family had. The governor in front left, and the governor who came later was also very close to the Hakara family. He would go there almost every three to five. Everyone said that Because the daughter of the Hakara family is so beautiful that even two imperial governors were fascinated by it."

Feishan's local nobles had various views on the Hakara family. Some people lamented, some ridiculed, and some even insulted them. However, after the rebellion, most of the powerful ones were wiped out, and the rest were directly controlled by Audrey. Ignore them and call them careless clowns, but that doesn’t mean these nobles are willing to

Someone immediately approached the forces from the empire.

No matter how powerful the Hakara family is, it is only the majesty of the Feishan Barrens. How can it be compared with the powerful wealthy families in the empire, especially in the Lisbonto area, where commercial wealthy families gather, and any one of them can crush Hakara. Home

In fact, as soon as the Imperial Navy Order was issued, some forces in the empire were moved. The emperor returned, the old and new governors of Fei Shan were transferred, and the previous Fei Shan nobles were pardoned for their rebellion, which all showed that Fei Shan's situation was changing.

But before they could stretch out their hands, they were immediately frightened back when they learned that the new Governor of Feishan was Plais, the former adjutant general of the empire. Forget about the others, Plais served as Governor of Feishan.

Who dares to go?

That was Plais, the former Minister of Military Affairs of Ruidian. He was the deputy chief of the empire who straddled both military and political circles. He was a powerful person who could make the empire tremble. Although the name has been silent for two years, it is now reappearing as the governor of two major regions, which is enough to illustrate the emperor's attitude.

Faced with such a figure, the forces within the empire were also secretly stunned. Who didn't know that offending Plais would only offend the Ruidian faction in the entire empire? It would be a heavy pressure from the two imperial princesses, and it might even lead to His Majesty the Emperor is panic-stricken and angry. As for those who say that Plais is a thing of the past, they may be slapped in the face directly.

It doesn't even require Plais to do anything. The rolling power from the empire's military and political circles is enough to crush the provocateur into powder. The Ruidian elite spans both military and political circles and is the second-largest force in the empire second only to Wikiia. , who dares to despise

But for the wealthy businessmen of Lisbonto, they didn’t know much about Plais, the former adjutant of the empire. They only knew that an old minister of the empire had been appointed, and the Feshan area in front of them was a barren and remote area. What kind of big family exists, not to mention who doesn’t know that the empire, from the emperor to the top, is full of malice toward Fei Shan?

After all, the two years that Lisbonto rose to prominence were the two years that Plais fell. Now seeing the rise of an unknown family on the coast of Feishan, someone finally took a tentative step, and it turned out that they were not the ones sent to threaten the Hakara family. Lost, that is, the family's merchant fleet was inexplicably detained by the Imperial Navy. For a while, the land of Feishan, and the news that casinos were being built along the coast of Feishan, were even more unclear to the wealthy businessmen in the interior of the empire. Details

And Plais, who was being avoided by everyone within the empire, was looking at the kind-hearted figure standing in front of the glass with a depressed expression at the moment.

It's not that he, Prais, has a soft spot for the Hakara family, nor is it the rumors from the outside world that he wanted to eat tender grass and was fascinated by the young lady from the Hakara family, but because this one gave Hakara The Kara family's special favorite pushed a woman to Fei Shan's position behind the scenes. Indeed, only this one has such ability. Fei Shan Shan will become a special place in the empire. Although it does not have rich products, it will still become a golden land. How can such a place be in the hands of others? Even she, Plais, is only responsible for monitoring. It is ridiculous. Those wealthy businessmen in Lisbon who overestimate their capabilities actually want a piece of the pie.

A young man with black hair stood in front of the hazy glass window at dusk, holding in his hand a battle report he had just received. In the battle for the Holy Capital of the Order, the famous imperial general Reposti suddenly intervened in the battlefield with 30,000 imperial cavalry, and with a miracle They used various means to seize the Holy Capital and forced the coalition forces from the southern countries who were launching a final encirclement and suppression campaign against the Potamia Army to return.

Then he took advantage of the excellent fighter opportunity of the Holy City side to kill the new pope in one fell swoop and forced the 50,000 Holy City troops to surrender. Then he defeated the slow-moving Ikal army with a thunderous force, pursued and captured nearly 20,000 Aden troops. Ten miles from the edge of the Atabi Wetland, more than 8,000 people were beheaded, and the famous general Prince Rutelli of the Harvey Kingdom was intercepted and killed.

The victory of this battle even exceeded the young man's expected result. Thirty thousand imperial cavalry defeated and killed more than one hundred thousand, and captured the commander of the Ikar Army and the four generals of the Aden Army. Because they fought too hard, the situation changed. It’s too much to handle! Just when this report was sent, 100,000 Harvey troops crossed the southern mountains of the Order State. Crown Prince Martin Liga personally led 50,000 cavalry into the Order State from the southwest. The Kingdom of Ikar sent a The negotiator was appointed, and at the same time, the domestic army of 50,000 was also ready to attack."
