Chapter 275: Prime Minister's Heart


There is another one that also confirms Char's worries: these guys from the Sixth Corps are really not so easy to command.

Although there was a request for Char, Glen Charles and other officers were polite on the surface, and they also expressed their willingness to cooperate with Char and cooperate with Char's men to fight the enemy together.

But in the rhetoric, only "cooperation" and "synergy" are spoken.

Char also understands that if he wants to command this army, he is afraid that it is impossible now.

Throughout the ages, there has been a tradition of seniority in the military of any country.

The Sixth Corps is the most downtrodden now, but it still has nearly 10,000 troops, and most of the troops are veterans.

Although there is no leading corps general, the remaining officers at the flag and regimental level are all old men who have experienced the last Odin War.

No matter how much the Sixth Corps is looked down upon, it is still the Central Standing Corps of the Empire, and it is the main combat force of the Empire.

It is far from being comparable to these local garrisons under Char.

Char is young and has not been in the army for a long time, although he is from the Rhodria Cavalry Corps, the Sixth Corps may not buy his account.

Even, in terms of military rank, Char is at the flag regiment level.

And the few remaining leaders of the Sixth Corps are also at the flag regiment level.

Nominally, everyone is on the same level.

And from the perspective of the empire's tradition, people's flag regimental level is the central army of the empire, but your Char's flag regimental level is just a local miscellaneous garrison.

Speaking of which, Char is half a level shorter than them.

If it weren't for Char's fact that he also had a noble title, according to imperial tradition, the officers of the local garrison, even if they saw the officers of the Central Standing Army at the same level, had to salute.

Besides, the original strength of the city was too weak.

Char had only more than 2,000 men under his command, and most of them were horse thieves who had just been recruited.

More than 8,000 people of the Sixth Corps were stationed in, and they suddenly became the most powerful force.

Even to say something unpleasant, if it weren't for the friendship between everyone and the fact that the Sixth Corps now has a request for Char, it is possible for the Sixth Corps to incorporate Char's troops in turn.

Fortunately, everyone is now in the same boat through thick and thin, and Green, a well-known old guy in the army, is in charge, and the cooperation between the two sides has also maintained a frank and united attitude.

After the Sixth Corps took over part of the city defense work, the city defense strength of Denzel City suddenly increased a lot.

Char and Green waited for the scouts on the periphery to report back every day, nervously gathering their eyes on the south side, always waiting for the latest news, and almost all the eyes of the human world were focused on Osgiria.

At this moment, the battle situation in Osgilia will determine the future fate of the largest empire in the human world.

Byzantium, the empire with the most powerful, the most vast territory, the largest population, and the longest history among the three major powers in the human world, will rise or fall in the future, and its fate will be maintained in this decisive battle in Yanjing.

Regardless of the outcome of the war, this battle will have a huge impact on the history of the human world for hundreds of years to come.

For ten consecutive days, the rebels attacked the city more and more ferociously, although the rebels have the intention to preserve their strength, but after all, it is still in the honeymoon period of everyone's cooperation, and the rebels have also negotiated a fair way, dozens of rebels, every day a round to attack the city, the next day to replace the next one, so that everyone has to lose together, on the battlefield, life and death have their own destiny.

And the old and cunning Salvador also put forward a resolution, in order to prevent each family from contributing to the work and having the selfish desire to preserve their strength, all the rebels agreed that whichever one broke through the city of Osgilia first, then the treasury of the palace would belong to it The Byzantine Empire has been established for thousands of years, and the royal family does not know how much amazing wealth has been accumulated, and with such a heavy reward to incentivize, the rebels have put away their selfishness and spared no effort when attacking the city.

The ten-day siege put tremendous pressure on Osgilia.

Outside the city, Sosia and Butler's 2nd and 9th Corps also fought several fierce battles with the rebels, each with a victory or defeat.

The Rodria cavalry corps had greater results, they defeated the rebels in both field battles, but the rebels had too many troops, even if the battlefield was a small setback, it did not hurt their vitality, but the Rodria cavalry did not dare to pursue after the victory because they were afraid of falling into a heavy siege, and could not further expand the results.

For a time, inside and outside the city, hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting together, seeing that the weather was getting warmer day by day, and every night, many fires would be raised around the battlefield to burn the bodies of the dead soldiers.

Sarembonili, the sixty-three-year-old Imperial Prime Minister, has finally tasted true power after these days.

In the past, this was considered a "superfluous prime minister", and when Cavishir was alive, he was not trusted by the emperor at all, and always played the role of a nominal mascot.

But with the assassination of Cavishir, the empire changed dramatically, and hundreds of thousands of rebels besieged the city, and the battle was fierce.

The sixty-three-year-old prime minister suddenly grasped a huge power that he had never had before.

Although the defense of the city was presided over by the famous general of the empire after Adric entered the city, all the deployment of reserves and materials in the city of Osgilia was decided by the prime minister.

The prime minister summoned officials every day to reassure people, inspected various central political offices, and delivered speeches one after another to encourage the fighting spirit of the central government in Yanjing.

He even summoned some of the leaders of the wealthy families in Yanjing, and asked each family to contribute their efforts and contribute their guards and private soldiers to enrich the city defense.

The sixty-three-year-old prime minister has never been so busy in his life.

But every day, no matter how busy he was, he would insist on one thing: he would personally sit in an open carriage and lead his men around the city of Osgilia, from the south to the north of the city As a result, almost every day the people of Osgilliari could see the silver-haired old prime minister sitting in the carriage, with a calm smile on his face, his expression calm, unfazed, and even occasionally waving to the people who had stopped and watched from afar.

Originally, hundreds of thousands of rebels besieged the city, and the people in the city were already panicked, but with the old prime minister's action of patrolling the city once a day, everyone looked at this noble prime minister so calmly, and looked at the old prime minister's gentle and calm smile every day, and most people couldn't help but think: The prime minister smiled so easily, it seems that the adult is sure in his heart.

Anyway, when the sky falls, there is a tall person on top, and even people like the prime minister who are in high-ranking officials are not afraid, what are we afraid of In this way, a routine inspection every day finally calmed down the hearts of the people in the city a lot.

The calm smiling face of the prime minister sitting in the car every day has become the greatest comfort in the hearts of the people in the city.

But only Salumbonelli's old butler knew how bad his own prime minister was In the past few years, the prime minister has eaten almost only one meal a day and slept less than four hours.

The dispatch of supplies in the city, the pacification of the various deployed officials, and the statistics of emergency military reports from all over the empire had exhausted the sixty-three-year-old man's energy.

Behind the rousing speeches and inspiring rhetoric of the sixty-three-year-old man were the tired body and badly damaged health of the sixty-three-year-old.

In just 20 days, the 63-year-old man lost ten pounds This situation made many people who despised and looked down on the prime minister in the past can't help but be convinced at the moment.

In today's erosive situation, even those famous ministers in history cannot do better than this sixty-three-year-old man.

That night, Salembonili completed the tour of the city by carriage as usual, and after the carriage entered the prime minister's mansion, when he got off the car, the old butler next to him saw that the prime minister's pace was a little staggering, and hurriedly went up to help him, and held the old prime minister's arm, only to feel that the muscles on the old prime minister's arm were weak and weak, and the weight of half of his body was almost pressed on his body, and his heart sank suddenly, and he couldn't help but look up at Salumbonili.

The old prime minister's face was a little pale, and at this moment, there was still half a minute on his face that he had when he patrolled the city just now "Adult" "Hmm."

The old prime minister snorted, didn't say anything more, stood up straight, broke free from the butler's support, and smiled bitterly: "I was a little tired just now, and I was dizzy for a while, hehe" As he spoke, his eyes became stern, and he said coldly: "What are you looking at me like this?"

took two steps, and the Prime Minister's steps were a little soft, before he finally sighed: "You help me to the study, and everyone else is gone." ” Along the way, the old butler only felt that the pace of the adults was sluggish, and even his breathing was so heavy, and after walking down for a short time, the old prime minister's forehead was sweating, and as soon as he entered the study and sat down, Salumbonelli smiled, and his tone was quite mocking: "It seems that I am really old, hum." ” "My lord, do you want to rest for a while, or" The old butler felt a little sour in his heart, and said in a low voice: "You came back late today, why don't you rest, I'll let you" "Shut up."

The old prime minister raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "I'm hungry, let's get some food, yesterday's thick soup was good, you can get me some sauerkraut again, the taste has not been good recently, and those sauerkraut from yesterday are just appetizing." ” The old butler wanted to say something, but he felt the adult's eyes become stern again, and finally sighed, turned around and walked out.

Perhaps many people do not believe that the dinner of the prime minister of the empire is only half a bowl of noodle soup mixed with meat foam and a little sauerkrau.

And just such a half bowl of noodle soup, the old prime minister only ate half of it and lost his appetite, after putting down the spoon, the sixty-three-year-old man suddenly sighed, showed a strange smile on his face, glanced at the butler standing on the side, and suddenly smiled: "You say, am I a little cheap?"

The old butler looked at his master inexplicably.

Salumbonelli shook his head, his smile full of mockery: "When that man was alive, I longed for him to die.

But now that he's dead, such a big mess of things is pressing on me, and I suddenly feel that it's really not easy for him.

At least these things, when he was alive, he did much better than I did. ” The prime minister's emotion, but the old housekeeper did not dare to answer, because after many years, the old housekeeper already knew the master's spleen and surname.

In fact, as the Prime Minister of the Empire, Salumbonelli has always strictly forbidden people in his family to talk about state affairs.

At this time, even if he opened his mouth to sigh, but if the housekeeper was very clear, if he really opened his mouth to answer, he would attract a reprimand from the adult.

Salembonili sighed a few words, but watched the old butler be silent and silent, and suddenly smiled again: "Why don't you speak?"

"I don't dare."

The old butler hung his head.

"Well, I can say a few words today."

Salembonili said lightly: "I'm too strict in normal times, but today, I suddenly want to say a few words to someone."

I'd love to hear what others think. ” "I" The old butler hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up his courage and said, "My lord, I think that you are a little unworthy. ” Salembonili was not angry at all, and smiled faintly: "Well, it's not worth it, right, maybe anyone would think so."

The emperor put me aside and neglected me for many years, and now that the henchman he relied on is dead, he has to use me to give him his life.

Hmph, to be honest with you, I don't have any grudges in my heart, and I also have them. ” He slowly stood up, walked to the back of the desk and sat down, and after tapping his fingers on the table twice, he smiled and said, "I know your loyalty, and I know that you will be unjust for me."

Hmph, but, do you know why I came here and worked so hard, my old bones, so tormented, do you think I'm not afraid of death, I'm also afraid. ” "My lord" The old butler looked at the prime minister's emaciated face, and suddenly his eyes turned red.

"I do these things for nothing else, and I don't care if the emperor is unfair to me.

I'm doing this because of me Sarunbonili" He suddenly straightened his back, gritted his teeth and whispered, "I am the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister of the Empire" At this moment, the look in the eyes of this tired and weak old man seemed to be full of light "The Sorom family has had a total of six imperial prime ministers, and I am the sixth" Salembonelli was smiling, and there was a cold smile in his eyes: "I am old, and I have lived long enough, in this life, I have eaten delicious food, enjoyed mansions, worn fancy clothes, and had beautiful women, and I have not pursued too much in my heart until now, but there is only one thing, I don't want it to happen, do you understand what it is?"

"I don't understand."

Salumbonelli looked at his old butler, and then the sixty-three-year-old chancellor smiled.

"I don't want to leave behind the title of the last prime minister of the dead country when it is written in the history books of future generations that I am the last prime minister of the country, and I definitely don't want to be the last."
