'Chapter 445: The second entry into Yanjing After two or three more days outside the city, there was finally a new movement in the city of Osgilia.
First of all, the royal family sent a labor army led by an earl nobleman, who was probably a confidant of the royal family, and in addition to a few nobles, there were also two deputy ministers of the finance of the empire, as well as an envoy sent by the prime minister.
Speaking of which, the city of Osgilia was already very short of supplies, and after more than half a year of fighting, most of them relied on the supply of the Lantis people on the sea.
But after all, Char's army went south to King Qin, no matter what aspect it was, the central government of the empire had to express a gesture of consolation, otherwise, if someone came south to King Qin, and the army was stationed outside the city, the emperor didn't say anything at all, and it would be too cheap to spread it.
There are not many things, and the city is already tight, and I heard that even the emperor himself has shrunk his clothes and diet.
The so-called labor army is just a formality, and it is just a procedure that should be done.
These people sent to the labor army were all drawn from the city guards, and I heard that for the sake of the imperial family, the emperor specially assigned a small group of imperial guards to accompany him.
However, when this team of labor troops came to Char's army station, it still shocked Char's entire army.
This is the most elite Yanjing City Guard in the empire, this is the Royal Forest Army known as the best equipment and the highest salary, it is simply a group of beggars The Imperial Forest Army can barely guarantee a full set of weapons and equipment, and those city guards are much more miserable, most of them are even a complete set of armor is difficult to assemble, and the weapons are also very mixed, many people use swords that are not the standard of the city guards, and it seems that there are quite a lot of weapons used by people, which seem to have been captured from the rebels when they were made.
As for the supplies sent, it is even more insufficient.
There was not much food, and the emperor now heard that he only ate a few pieces of bread per meal.
However, there are still some rewards for some gold and silver utensils, and it is said that the emperor also moved out of some old reserves in the inner treasury of the palace.
But such a thing, if it is distributed to everyone in the whole army, it is really unseemly.
Therefore, even the Earl, who was in charge of the labor army, seemed to have some faces that he couldn't hang on to when the empire was poor like this But Char was very polite, pulling the earl to talk affectionately for a long time, everyone had a lively and full meal, and when leaving, Char quietly stuffed a box and sent it to the earl's carriage.
The box contained some good things that Char had picked out from the trophies he had captured from the large number of rebel prisoners of war.
Those rebels have been entrenched in Yanjing for a long time, but they really robbed a lot of good things, but unfortunately in the battle a few days ago, the rebels were defeated, and after the things were captured, they all cheapened our turtle lord.
Char specially sent people to select some "fine products" among the loot and property, and those rebels robbed a lot of nobles and wealthy families in Yanjing, and really got some treasures, Char selected all the high-quality goods and kept them for important use.
The box given to the Count, who was a laborer, contained a vase of great value, bronze vessels, inlaid with precious stones, and a work of art of great value, from which the rebels had copied it.
However, the Earl of the Labor Army, on the way back, opened the box and saw the vase, and immediately sighed in his heart.
What has become of this labor army?
The materials of the labor army that I brought with me, all of them were added together, but I am afraid that the value is not worth such a vase, alas, the empire is so weak, and it is really not tasteful for me to be a labor army envoy, but it makes those rednecks from the north laugh behind their backs.
This earl received Char's generous gift, and after returning to the city, he would naturally say a few more good words about Char, so there was no need to say it.
Lao Jun is just going through a cut, and after this cutscene is over, below, is the real reward Char waited for another two days with his surname, originally thinking that the official appointment order should come down soon, but who knows, this wait, actually waited for another three days What the hell is the emperor thinking about is already like this, and he still doesn't happily order a reward, and he still rubs it off However, Char was annoyed, and he couldn't help but imagine it on behalf of Emperor Garcia, but he was afraid that the other party was really depressed in his heart, and he was very angry with the emperor of the empire, but he was forced by a local general in the north to reward the land and seal it wantonly, and he was obviously ruthless in his heart, but the other party could only pinch his nose and endure it.
The emperor's refusal to formally give the order was probably the last bit of grievance in his heart.
Char waited patiently for the fifth day, and the official imperial decree finally came down This time, the person in charge of the order is still the earl who came to the labor army before, this earl received a generous gift from Char last time, and this time he came again, and his attitude towards Char is naturally more affectionate.
Pity them, the nobles of Yanjing, if in the past, such a precious vase, although it was also a valuable thing, would it be placed in the eyes of a dignified earl, but this time the city of Osgilia was broken, and most of the nobles' homes and mansions were poisoned, and almost all of their families were tossed away by those rebels, which was a big ruin.
I heard that many nobles can still hold on when they are fighting, but after driving out the rebels and bringing people back to their homes to take a look, they will pull out their knives and wipe their necks on the spot, and many nobles are even about to go bankrupt This earl, I heard that he is still a distant relative of the royal family, at this moment when the talents of the imperial royalist aristocratic group are withering, he is a former marginal figure, and he has won the trust and appreciation of the emperor at once, and he has chosen such a person to work here or convey the imperial decree when he comes to Char twice, which is enough to show that this guy is now very important.
To Char's surprise, there was also a deputy envoy who came to issue the imperial decree this time, but it was his old acquaintance Seeing that the bloated and huge body in the crowd of this mission was so eye-catching, Char laughed in surprise at that time: "Haha, you fat old man wants to kill you" As he spoke, he strode up, opened his arms, and hugged the other man heavily.
Ruhl grinned, he still had injuries on his body.
The fat man could only break away from Char with all his strength, and said with a wry smile: "Damn, do you want me to die, or do you want me to die, be lighter, my old arms and legs are a little not very bright." ” Char let go of Ruhr, took two steps back, and stared at the fat man carefully up and down for a while, his eyes gradually becoming warmer.
Speaking of which, when it comes to the many generals in the army of the Byzantine Empire, Char's personal relationship with this fat man is the best.
Without him, there are really two guys, one big and one small, one seems to be honest and fat, the other seems to be bold and straightforward, but in fact, they are two foxes, one big and one small, who seem to be harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, they are full of bad water, and they smell the same Among the generals of the Byzantine Emperor, Char respects Adric the most, but the most intimate one is this fat man.
Adrick is Char's old boss, and he has cultivated Char single-handedly, like a loving father to Master Yan.
And this fat man is like an intimate friend.
The two looked at each other a few times, and with a sincere smile on their faces, Char said, "Why did you come to give the order, but I sent you."
Ruer laughed dryly, lowered his voice and said: "The city is about to turn the sky upside down, and Lao Tzu is impatient to listen to it, so he found this messenger to simply hide in you, go out of the city, out of sight, and be quiet in his heart." ” Char listened and glanced at the fat man: "It's noisy" Ruhl smiled and glared at Char: "It's not for you, your 10,000 cavalry is lying outside the city, which makes many people feel uneasy."
Immediately the two of them entered the camp, and the transmission of the imperial decree on the scene was naturally a passing scene, Char gathered the officers and generals in the army to listen to the earl read the imperial decree in public, and then naturally ate and drank.
Speaking of which, many of the cavalry in Char's hands were also Ruhl's old subordinates in the past, and the two sides were naturally very happy when they met this time.
Everyone drank a lot, and after watching the wine, Char and Ruhl left the tent one after another, walked around the camp at will, and came to a secluded place.
Char looked at the fat man, took something out of his arms and threw it over.
Ruhl took it, and his eyes lit up suddenly: "Good stuff from the tobacco Zaku people haha" Char smiled, and after setting him on fire, he looked at the fat man holding a tobacco roll in his hand, swallowing the clouds and spitting mist beautifully, and said with a smile: "I guessed that you must like this thing, I came here this time and brought some with me, and I will leave it for you for a while." ” Ruer squinted his eyes, with a look of enjoyment, and said leisurely: "You kid is so blessed, the tobacco of the Zaku people is a rare goods, I heard that these tobacco leaves are rolled out one by one on the thighs of the girls of the Zaku tribe hehe" Seeing the fat man's squinting face, Xia Ya snorted, and then said with a straight face: "What is the situation in the city now, you tell me." ” When the fat man heard this, he smiled slightly, his face became a little strange, and he glared at Char heavily: "You little fox won't be able to guess" After a pause, he let out a long sigh: "In fact, what else can there be is nothing more than that everyone is not sure."
Your 10,000 cavalry is placed outside the city, and it is not surprising that Your Majesty and you are not of the same mind, and they are afraid of you in their hearts.
This time the war was torn.
Speaking of war, there is such an army outside the city at this moment, which is not the same heart as His Majesty, how can you let our Emperor Majesty sleep peacefully, but it is subtle, His Majesty is jealous of you, but he refuses to let you go back immediately, and at the same time he is suspicious of you, but he also needs your 10,000 cavalry to stay outside the city, because as long as you are here, the Landis people will also be uneasy Before you came, the situation in the city is that the Landis people are strong, we are weak, so the guests are strong and the main is weak, what do we talk about with each other, There is no confidence in fighting.
Now your 10,000 cavalry is swinging out of the city, no matter what, you are also fighting the banner of the Byzantine Empire, and the Lantis always regard you as one of us.

In the two days since you came, when the Rantis people talked to us, it was obvious that they were much more polite.
Hehe, so, now there is a lot of trouble in the city, Your Majesty wants you to leave early, but he is reluctant to let you go, and he is entangled in his heart. ” Char listened and smiled noncommittally.
Then he said: "The emperor ordered me to go into the city to meet me, and you said that I could go or delay it for another two days."
The fat man puffed out a puff of smoke from his nostrils and rolled his eyes: "Don't wait, you have got all the benefits that should be taken, and the emperor can't make any more concessions, and there is no point in continuing to wait, early tomorrow morning, you will go into the city to ask for a meeting."
I think the emperor's attitude towards you, at least on the surface, will be very good.
Even if it's for the Lantis people, he will pinch his nose and play a play with you. ” Char nodded: "So, I'll go into the city tomorrow" "Let's go into town."
The fat man smiled: "The imperial decree has been issued in a clear text, and things will not change anymore."
Your Majesty has to admit this fact now, and you will definitely not do anything to slap yourself in the face again, you enter the city now, it is safe, and Your Majesty will not take any action against you.
You swaggered into the city to meet you, received a reward, took over the official position, and then walked around the scenery, and you can go out of the city and return north with your army. ” After a pause, the fat man thought for a while, and said: "Char, when you enter the city this time, I will make a deal with you, our little emperor, although he is not very right with you in his heart, but after all, he is not very old, and speaking of which, the means are far less sophisticated than the previous emperor."
You don't have to be too jealous, it's our prime minister, Lord Salumbonelli, but a powerful character This old prime minister, needless to say, is an important banner left by the emperor to restrain the military power, no matter what the reason, the prime minister will desperately think of restricting you and suppressing you, so you have to be prepared to deal with this old guy. ” When Char heard this, he laughed twice: "My duke's title reward is from the hand of this prime minister." ” Ruhl smiled as well, just patting Char on the shoulder and making a reassuring expression.
Speaking of which, the fat man doesn't have much to do about that headache knighthood reward.
The next day, Char led the people into the city.
At this point, the big picture is decided.
The imperial decree has been clearly issued, and Char does not have to worry about the emperor attacking him again, so he generously left the army outside the city, and only brought a few officers and a dozen personal guards under his command, and then accompanied the officials on the Besta side led by the governor's wife Monica, into the city to meet the emperor.
Entering the city is already by way of the Arc de Triomphe.
This is the most majestic and huge city gate of Osgilia, a miraculous huge building, Char has seen it once when he came to Yanjing, and this time I look at it again, the huge city gate and city wall are full of traces of war, and the city wall is full of dense and damaged traces, and the stone projectiles of catapults are smashed, and rockets are burned, and there is the color of residual blood, and the ground is also potholes, and it is difficult for carriages and horses to walk.
Especially when crossing the bridge before entering the city, there was a strange rancid smell in the air, which made the governor's wife beside her couldn't help but frown along her nose, Char was stunned at first, and then understood that this was the smell of corpses Osgillia has been fighting for half a year, and I don't know how many corpses have sunk in the big river outside the city, which was originally clear and beautiful, has long since turned into a black water full of the smell of death, and the work of cleaning up the river after the war is afraid that it will give the people in the city a headache for a long time.
Entering the city, the scene in front of him made Char couldn't help but breathe in again and again The great, magnificent, noisy, and vibrant city of the past has become what it is now As far as the eye can see, there are ruins everywhere, most of the houses near the city walls have been demolished, some have been demolished to enrich the city defense materials, and some are the streets of the city that have been destroyed in the street fighting, one by one, the lively streets, have already walked all the way beyond their faces, and there are traces of burning everywhere, there are almost no pedestrians on the streets, most of them are people hiding in the ruins of the broken houses on both sides, and a beam of awe and fear is shooting out of the windows.
Large swaths of the block were burned down, demolished, and even along the way, you can still see the people who have been requisitioned, their faces covered with black cloth, responsible for running back and forth in the block, doing the cleaning work, and carrying out the corpses that have fallen everywhere, one by one, together Fortunately, winter has not passed at the moment, the weather is cold, if you don't clean it up quickly, in a few months, the weather will be hot, and the abandoned city after the war will cause disease Along the way, in addition to the ruins, what made Char feel the most was the eyes of those Osgilians The last time Char came to Yanjing, the biggest feeling here was the pride of the Osgillians who were born in the stock As the people of Yanjing, the Osgillians live in this largest male city, known as the greatest miracle city of mankind, the most prosperous and lively Yanjing, once upon a time it was a person who walked casually on the street, and his eyes were full of a kind of pride and high-spirited emotions in his bones.
But now it seems that the people who are responsible for cleaning up the corpses, as well as the figures that occasionally flash from the street corners, the eyes of these people, in addition to fear and fear, are at most a kind of numbness The city is dead.
Char sighed in her heart.
Char did not immediately enter the palace to meet the emperor, this is the Byzantine rule, Char, as a local general, entered Beijing to meet him, and he himself did not have the right to go directly to the palace to meet His Majesty When the foreign general enters Beijing, according to the rules, he will go to the military headquarters to report, and then wait in the arranged residence until the emperor is free, and then send someone to summon you, so that you are qualified to receive an audience from His Majesty This is a rule, and it is also a practice that reflects the strictness of the emperor's authority.
Before entering the city, Ruhr had a word with Char in advance, and this time when he entered the city, the emperor had already hinted at Ruhr, and everything had to be done according to the rules, just to let Char show his respect for the imperial power.
Char naturally won't refuse this request, and he won't lose anything anyway, just sell the emperor a face.
Besides, now that his identity is different, there is the elite cavalry outside the city there, and as soon as he enters the city, he is afraid that the whole city will be up and down, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are secretly staring at him Especially those Lantis At this time, he has to take care of the overall situation, even if he is acting for the people of Landis, he must show a gesture of respecting the imperial power, which is Ruhl's explanation and Adric's request When he went to the military headquarters to report to the military department, he naturally ran away in person, and his subordinates had already gone to handle it, and he himself was looking for a place in the city to live and wait for a while.
According to the management, the foreign generals entered Yanjing and waited for the emperor to summon them, and they had to wait for a while, which could be long or short.
If the emperor is in a good mood, or if he is not too busy, maybe he will be scheduled to see you in ten days and half a month.
If the emperor is in a bad mood, or is so busy that he forgets about you, I'm afraid that he will wait for a month or two For example, the last time Char entered Yanjing to meet the emperor, it was the emperor who asked him to come to Yanjing to receive him with honors, and in this way, Char waited for many days to receive him from the emperor when he arrived in Yanjing last time But now his identity is naturally different, since he has given enough face to Emperor Garcia, he went to the military department to report, honestly waited for the summons, and put on a posture of respecting the imperial power, Garcia naturally didn't dare to really take it too seriously, who doesn't know, our Uncle Char's temper is a donkey If you do things on the road, Emperor Garcia will naturally not make it difficult for you.
In Ruhl's opinion, after going through this formality, he would wait in the city for a day at most, and the emperor would order a summons.
Char's residence is a slightly more complete mansion selected in the city, I heard that it is the inheritance of a certain nobleman, that nobleman in this war, dozens of his family were slaughtered by the rebels, but this house was valued by a leader of the rebels, as his own stronghold, so it was well preserved.
It stands to reason that this kind of house, full of ghosts, is not suitable for Xia Ya to live in a foreign minister who came to Beijing to meet him, it is too unruly, but at this moment, the residence in the city, which family does not have a few unjust souls And Char doesn't care much about this kind of ghostly thing.
In his words: "Lao Tzu marches to fight, killing people like a murderous face, and even if there is a ghost in his majesty, it is also running away from Lao Tzu" He swaggered into the house with his retinue, and was ready to wait behind closed doors with peace of mind.
Unexpectedly, before it was dark, someone came to the door.
What came to be placed was a young civil official dressed in the robes of an imperial official, who looked very clean, and when he came to see Char, his expression was also very calm and calm, even faint, and there was a taste of reserve and arrogance.
Seeing that when Char spoke, his tone was also light.
"General Char, please come over and meet us."
Char looked at the person who came to the door: "Which one of you adults?"
The other party smiled faintly and smiled very calmly: "Lord Salumbonelli, the current prime minister." ” ``` To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
