Realm of Power

"Your Highness, you must not go now. The other party wants to use this to force you to surrender. As long as the news spreads, all the advantages we have gained over the Hakara family will be lost, and the Hakara family will inevitably regain control of the family again. "The powerful trade power in the Shan area" heard that Allensteen was going to the valley, and a dozen Fei The Shan nobles were also anxious, and they hurriedly tried to dissuade them, saying that they had finally achieved the situation in front of them and trampled the Hakara family to the ground. Both in form and in people's hearts, the Hakara family had become Everyone shouted that he was a street rat and even Audrey, the person in charge of the Hakara family, ran away.

Those grains are ironclad evidence, the best evidence that the Hakara family hoarded money during the famine years and made a fortune from the country's financial difficulties. Now as long as we hold on to strong evidence and solidify it, there is no possibility for the Hakara family to turn around. , and the main reason for all this is It was because they claimed to the outside world that His Highness Allensteen was on their side, but now, they were all disrupted by this unexpected incident. The imperial team detained the convoy and personnel who went to transport food, and only released them. Captain of the escort of His Highness Allensteen, "I will not go to the valley, The Chamber of Commerce of those detained people will definitely make this matter bigger." Allensteen had a helpless smile on his lips, and he had to admit in his heart that he still underestimated Plais, who had been silent in the imperial political circles for two years. The former adjutant of the empire was just detained and forced to commit suicide. I have to show up. In this case, I will no longer be able to avoid her. Once they meet officially, the aura of the imperial princess in me will be replaced by the appointment of the Imperial Governor-General. In the final analysis, I will The position still belongs to this Pula "Managed by Is," Your Highness Allensteen, with all due respect, going to the valley now would be a waste of all previous efforts. Since the other party even took the risk of sending out troops, it just proves that that batch of food is the opponent's biggest weakness and must not be exposed to the light, so If there really is a commotion, this matter It will turn into a good thing that is beneficial to His Highness! "An old man in black dress suddenly opened the door and walked in. A sharp light flashed in his old eyes, his tall and thin figure said in a deep voice, "Great! Oh, it’s Lord Hanaqi who’s coming back! “Seeing the old man appear, Ten Several Feishan nobles breathed a sigh of relief secretly on their faces, and they all looked excited. "Who is your Excellency?" Allensteen looked at the old man. "Dear Your Highness, my name is Hanaqi. I believe Your Highness must have seen that." I decided to leave only after receiving a letter, and that letter was written by me as "Old Man" The speaker bowed respectfully to Allensteen and said with a smile, "I believe His Highness should know very well that Fei Shan's current situation is just a hair's breadth. Now that we have come to this point, all His Highness owes is to wait a little longer." Wait ""That letter turned out to be from you...!"

Ellenstin's eyes were astonished. Her eyes were very bright, like stars in the sky. The light outside the window shone on her face, making her oval face even more dreamlike, as if she was the Nine Heaven Fairy descending to earth. The hazy feeling, six or seven years have passed since the turbulent era of Wikiya. The pitiable girl was already truly beautiful and dazzling, not inferior to the princess of any country.

What's more, because of the emperor's relationship, the upper echelons of the empire still took good care of the Douai family. Not only did they grant the title of princess, but the family business also went smoothly. Over the past few years, Allensteen's reputation also increased, and in the end even coat Monaqing was summoned to serve in the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was later sent to the Barrow region of Central Europe controlled by the empire to be responsible for the commerce and trade of the Barrow coastal port in Central Europe. The power of the Duai Chamber of Commerce subsequently entered the Barrow region of Central Europe. In half a year, it has developed well.

But people are afraid of comparison. Compared with other coastal areas of the empire, the ports in the Barro region of Central Europe are really not that good. It is an area where countries coexist, each doing their own thing. When they first competed with the empire, they were severely beaten. , and then the Hungarian Rebellion, which involved all the major countries. After the war, there was a ruin, especially when the Hungarian army swept it all the way. It was completely destructive, and it almost set back the Central European Barrow fifty years.

The Kingdom of Rila, which was originally the strongest, was the worst. The south was almost completely destroyed. Even the kingdom in the north was conquered. The domestic economy went back thirty years. It is still licking its wounds to this day. It has borrowed foreign debts from the empire for a hundred years. Hungary If the kingdom were not protected by the emperor, it would be divided up, and other countries would not be doing well either. Naturally, they would not have much development prospects in business. Faced with such a mess, Allensteen was helpless.

The Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered grain transfer to the Feishan area. Allensteen was originally just doing business, but the sudden order issued by the Imperial Navy Ministry shocked the entire inland sea coast.

Allensteen was naturally among them. Everyone could see it. He had been in the Barro region of Central Europe for a while, and he knew a lot about maritime trade. He knew that under this naval order, there were countless merchant fleets traveling between the east and west inland seas. They will definitely use Feishan Coast as a transit point. This is such an unimaginable huge prospect.

She hadn't thought about that at first, but a letter from Fei Shan made her decide to come to Fei Shan to have a look in person, and the current situation was indeed as stated in the letter. The place forgotten by the high-level officials, which is about to become the golden point of the east-west sea trade line, has no trace of anything. When the imperial forces intervened, it turned out to be a blank space. The only worthy opponent was a Feishan noble family named Hakara, but that was just a puppet family supported by the Feishan Governor's Palace. Her identity as a princess of the country was Enough to crush, the only one to be careful about is the new Governor Plais

Time is running out, and no one knows when all the forces in the empire will come, so Allensteen can only take this decisive approach and acquiesce to the Feishan nobles to use his name to suppress the Hakara family with all their strength. Unexpectedly, Just when everything was about to become a foregone conclusion, an imperial cavalry appeared and cut everything off. "Your Highness, it's just the Hakara family. I'm afraid they are not qualified for the military to intervene. Fei Shan should be the one to take action. Governor's Mansion, mobilized troops without authorization The team intervened in local affairs. If I remember correctly, this was also a very serious case of overstepping of authority in the empire. The other party tried their best to save the Hakara family. Now His Highness can rest assured. He only needs to wait and wait for the businessmen to cause trouble. , when the time comes, Feishan Governor's Mansion will have no choice but to retreat. His Highness does not need to do anything to fully take over the resources and connections of the Hakara family. "Hanaqi's serious face flashed with an inexplicable luster.

In the pre-Feishan era, Hanazi was famous for his eloquence in the aristocratic circles. He was once called by King Feishan as a state adviser, and also served as the kingdom's foreign minister for a period of time. As the Feishan Kingdom collapsed overnight, he immediately Taking advantage of his former position as a foreign minister, he made contact with a country in the south and fled south with his family by boat. It was a high-ranking official from the former Feishan Kingdom who had recently returned with the emperor's amnesty order.

Under his influence, a group of Feishan nobles were quickly gathered. Most of them were nobles from the royal capital of Feishan. Regional nobles like the Hakara family were superior to them, and they also controlled Feishan. Most of the business resources in the region were extremely dissatisfied, so they secretly formed an alliance with the goal of overthrowing the Hakara family.

Recruiting Alan Stine to Feishan was Hanaqi's handiwork

During the Feishan Kingdom, the Feishan Intelligence Department once launched a secret investigation into the empire's top officials. The person responsible for assisting was Hanazi, which eventually triggered the assassination of the imperial minister Doze, which led to the Feishan Kingdom being destroyed by the imperial emperor at the height of his power. The trigger for the Furious Fall was that the Feishan Intelligence Department, which was involved at the time, had already been captured by the imperial general. Varisien rounded up and executed everyone in Feishan, but Hanazi was just a foreign service officer and had already fled the country, so he was not affected. It happened that Hanazi returned this time and learned that the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs had asked Feishan The person who adjusted the grain in the area was a woman named Allensteen. She immediately realized that she was the royal family of the Allensteen Empire!

Under Hanaqi's persuasion, Allensteen sat down again with a cold face, and gently picked up a plate of exquisitely wrapped glutinous incense seeds. The Governor's Mansion was too aggressive in this matter. Since the Governor's Mansion was not afraid of causing trouble, he himself Why be afraid! "Okay, I believe His Highness is very tired now, so let's not disturb His Highness' rest here!" Haqi waved his hands to the other dozen Feishan nobles, and everyone bowed down with respectful expressions before exiting. room door

Standing at the door were imperial guards with white thorns on their armored chests. Haqi and the others waited until the door to the room was closed before taking a deep breath. Dozens of Fei were still crowded in the corridor downstairs. Noble Shan, the light on the walkway shines on people and sways with the wind. After all, not everyone is Those who were qualified to meet Alan Stine could only wait outside, walking back and forth anxiously and talking in low voices. At this time, they heard the sound of people going downstairs from the stairs on the second floor. He stopped talking and looked up at the stairs neatly. It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a pin dropping.

Naturally, Haqi and the others were walking down. Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Haqi grinned and said, "Okay everyone, His Highness Allensteen promised not to show up for the time being. Will he succeed?" In the end, it’s up to you, now it’s time to take back our own things.” “Yes, take back our own things!” “It’s only natural to take back our own things.”

Hearing Hanaqi's inflammatory words, the other Feishan nobles immediately became excited. As long as His Highness Allensteen did not compromise with the Governor's Mansion, they could take back those properties, because the principals of the Hakara family had all run away. All industries have chosen to give up. As for the people and cars that were detained, they belong to the major chambers of commerce and have nothing to do with them! , the Feishan nobles began to annex various properties of the Hakara family. In the name of Her Royal Highness Princess Allensteen, they confiscated a large number of manors, shops, and even the facilities under construction that belonged to the Hakara family and divided them up. , "Sir, the major chambers of commerce in the city have already begun to go to the Governor's Mansion." A servant came from Come in from outside and report "Is there a riot?" Haqi stood in front of the hall window in a black noble dress, holding a steaming glass of water in his hand, looking at the center of Badiya City, and murmuring in a low voice, "Pu Rais, the former adjutant of the empire and a famous minister of the empire, what would you do in the face of such a situation? "

After the empire issued an amnesty order to pardon the rebellious nobles, although it was just a political show for the fat man, the effect achieved was indeed extremely good, not only making those southern countries who wanted to say that the empire was cruel Speechless, even when the Feishan Kingdom fell, a large number of Feishan nobles who fled abroad began to return to the country one after another. The news brought back by some returning nobles also frightened the Feishan nobles who stayed in the country.

There is curiosity and contempt, anger and confusion, regret and pity. There are all kinds of complex looks.

Everyone originally thought that these people who fled the sea of ​​​​suffering were lucky, but the fact is not that there is no dignity under the subjugation of the country. The countries that accepted them initially regarded them as tools to promote the cruelty of the empire, and these The Feishan nobles also brought a large amount of wealth and various elite talents. They are all servants of major families. The skills passed down from generation to generation are very important to them. For southern countries that are relatively technologically backward, many of Feishan Kingdom's technologies are quite advanced. After all, Feishan is sandwiched between the two major forces of the East and the West. After hundreds of years of blending the East and the West, they learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses. It is true that the Feishan Kingdom's productivity is poor. , but the military technology and shipbuilding industries are among the powerful countries even in Northern Europe, so in order to attract them, they also offer all kinds of extravagant benefits.

However, as time went by, the wealth of the Feishan nobles who were sitting on nothing was gradually squandered, and most of the elite talents below were poached by various countries. Naturally, all kinds of treatment were not as good as before. In order to maintain their lives, some Feishan nobles, They have already sold off their property, and some even sold their daughters. When the Empire’s amnesty order comes out, their last remaining value will be gone. In addition, last month, during the Holy Capital War, the Empire used shocking methods. Achievements, will be the original The fruits of victory that were sure to be won were taken away from the four southern coalition forces, and the south was trapped in a desperate situation. In order to redeem the captives of each country, the four countries even shed a lot of blood. The Imperial Intelligence Department followed the emperor's secret order and added fuel to the fire. , secretly released the news that the reason why the Empire was able to know the secret actions of the Four Nations Allied Forces during the Battle of the Holy Capital was because many of the Feishan nobles who fled south had secretly defected to the Empire!

When the news came out, the southern countries exploded on the spot.

Accepting these Feishan nobles already made them feel like a burden. Unexpectedly, these Feishan nobles also reported to the empire. Especially the three southern countries that suffered losses immediately purged the Feishan nobles accepted in the country and arrested them one by one. They were tortured and tortured. In fact, the three countries also knew that 199% of the rumors that the Feishan nobles were secretly communicating with the empire were false news deliberately released by the empire.

But when the army was defeated, the prince was captured alive, and the country urgently needed someone to take the blame for the defeat, who cared whether these Feishan people were real spies? In this context, who in the south could treat these Feishan nobles well? Desperate oppression, severe torture and interrogation, a group of delicate and noble nobles can withstand a few blows, and they can be beaten successfully.

He said that he would be executed as an imperial spy and his property would be confiscated, but instead of saying that he was an imperial spy, he would be beaten to death or his property would be confiscated. The nobles chose to be executed later or beaten to death on the spot!

For a time, all the Feishan nobles who fled south were in danger. A large number of Feishan nobles who fled south chose to return home. However, when they returned to the country, they were dumbfounded. The family property, manor, land, servants... were all divided. I want to go to my relatives, but I can't even find them. The tall gates are deserted by weeds, and most of the wealthy families in the past have withered.

Although the empire issued an amnesty order, 80% of the wealthy families in the Badiya rebellion were missing and it has become a mystery. This time the empire carried out large-scale construction projects in the Feishan coastal area and migrated the population on a large scale. These returning south The Feishan nobles also gathered here. With the help of people like Hanazi, they finally wanted to stir up this storm and seize the property from the Hakara family in the name of a member of the Alansteen royal family.

As long as this matter really gets big, the final inevitable result will not be that Feishan Governor's Mansion chooses to retreat, but that Alansteen will be punished, but this is enough, because Alansdine buys time for them , it also blocked them from the pressure from the Governor's Mansion, and made others think that they had the support of an imperial princess behind them! They are competing for time!
