Ruhl's proposal is as if pointing to a new path.
What embarrassed the people of Yanjing was that in recent times, Landis's assistance to the Byzantine Empire seems to have gradually declined.
It's easy to understand.
The Lantis were involved in the Byzantine civil war in order to reap the benefits of the Byzantines, an important step in the maritime kingdom's attempt to gain the interests of the continent and sell their right to intervene in the continent.
Previously, the Byzantine Empire signed a series of compromise treaties in exchange for the support of the Landis, whether it was assistance from the sea, or the direct landing of the Landis troops in Osgilia, helping the Empire to repel the army of the warlord party, and relieving the siege of the city of Osgilia, all of which were based on the need for the Landis to obtain sufficient benefits, as well as: the expected guarantee of these benefits But now, it seems that in the eyes of the Lantiles, the situation of the Byzantine Empire seems to be quite worse than it was a few months ago.
This is also understandable.
A few months ago, everyone thought that the authority of the central empire had weakened to the lowest point ever, but no one thought that this was not the bottom at all Today, a few months later, people have to sigh, the weakening of the central empire has reached an astonishing point: the last rebellion in the south, the Duke of Minas led the army south, and the central government directly fought against the central government, Adrik Yenching mutiny, and so on, the authority of the Byzantine Empire seems to have been stormy, It's just the last breath.
At this time, it is no wonder that the enthusiasm of the Landis has waned: seeing that the Byzantine Empire has become like this, and maybe the fortunes of this country will be completely finished one day, at this time, the Landis began to hesitate and began to be cautious.
Even if the Byzantine Empire is willing to give up more benefits, the premise must be that the empire must continue to exist, even if the Byzantine Empire is now willing to cede a few counties of land to the Landisians, the Landis will have to think carefully: if this empire dies, this kind of treaty is equivalent to a piece of waste paper, and it has no half value.
At this time, the aristocratic and wealthy families up and down Yanjing, all kinds of bigwigs began to wait and see the news, looking for new bettors, and the Landis people who tried to change ships were no exception.
They may have begun to feel that it might not be a smart move to continue to support the Byzantine royal family, or perhaps it would be wiser to choose other supporters on the mainland instead.
The Duke of Minas in the south, with his outstanding prestige, extensive connections, far-reaching roots, tens of thousands of troops in his hands, control of several southern counties, and the support of a large number of traditional aristocratic forces in the empire, is a good candidate to support.
For another example, the garrison general named Char Leiming in the north, Duke Nodze, is also a good candidate.
After all, the former ace of the intelligence agency of the Kingdom of Landis, Fu Dax, is now working under Char Thundering, and the Garros Chamber of Commerce, the intelligence organization lurking on the continent of the Landis Kingdom, also has a lot of interests with the small group of Char Thundering.
For another example, Adric of Yanjing, who has merit and prestige, has an army, and occupies the first male city in the mainland, Yanjing Osgilia, and also holds the Byzantine Empire Emperor Yanjing in his hands, and is also a good candidate.
However, based on Adric's surname, the Landis people are afraid that it will be difficult to hit him, although it is a smart way to coerce the princes of heaven, but Adrick obviously lacks the ambition of a powerful minister.
All in all, who would really take that Byzantine royal family in their eyes now Those who understand a little bit have already seen it clearly: with the Duke of Minas's cunning resurgence, he returned to military power and went south to take away the last foundation of the empire, and with the forced mutiny of Adric in Yanjing to take away the supreme power, the royal family of the Byzantine Empire has existed in name only, and the imperial family no longer has the slightest power, and the rest is only a nominal supremacy.
The current attitude of the Lantis people is actually somewhat ambiguous.
They intervened at the beginning of the war, and the time of intervention can be said to be very smart, Landis's invincible navy easily broke the coastal defense of the Byzantine Empire and landed in the port of Catania of the empire, and then the Landis army landed, quickly centering on several port cities and occupying a considerable territory.
However, it is quite ironic that the Kingdom of Landis entered the war in the name of supporting the Byzantine royal family, but in fact, after Landis's army landed, several port cities and several territories were actually areas under the central control of the empire before the war.
Subsequently, the Lantis navy rescued Osgilia, captured the port area, and repelled the city-breaking army of the warlord party, but after recovering Yanjing, the army deliberately stayed in Yanjing for a long time, causing great tension to the Byzantines This ally is not a real friend, but a wolf that can bite at any time.
But Yanjing now still needs to rely on the continuous assistance of the Landis people from afar, so many times, he can only pinch his nose and endure it.
Now, it seems that the honeymoon period of cooperation between the empire and the Kingdom of Landis has passed, and Landis's assistance has gradually decreased, and his attitude has become more and more indifferent, but the port cities that he occupied are the center, gradually encroaching on the surrounding land, and gradually taking a firm foundation on the mainland.
At this time, it is not a good idea to ask the Lantis, but the method proposed by Ruhl is indeed tempting.
It is much safer to go by sea than by land, and the advantage of the Landis at sea is overwhelming.
Go to sea from Yanjing, take a sea boat, go northwest along the coastline, and then land from the port of Catania, and then go north, although there are also a few days of distance to pass through the border of the two warlord military districts, but the distance is much shorter, as long as you are careful, you can enter the territory of the Besta people in three or five days, and Besta is now considered to have served the center of the empire, so it is considered safe.
After intense discussions, the upper echelons of Yanjing soon asked the foreign secretary to make a request like the Landisian.
Ruhl, on the other hand, was sure that the Landis would not refuse.
The fat man is so sure, naturally he has his own reasons.
By the way, in the list of two hundred and ninety-six officials, although Adric did not install his own people, Ruhr did install a few.
The people who installed it were all former instructors of the Yenching Military Academy, and they were also Ruhr's cronies and friends.
While the others were nervously waiting for the Lantis's reply, Ruhl had already secretly told the people he had planted: Hurry up and prepare to pack up and get ready to go to sea Sure enough, the fat man's judgment was correct Although the Lantis reacted a little slowly, after a few days, they replied and agreed to the request of the Byzantine side.
The Lantis even sent four escort ships in addition to the two large transport ships along the way, and promised that when they landed in the port of Catania, two thousand Lantis troops would escort them along the way to the Besta Military Region.
The people of Lantis helped to cooperate so much, and Yanjing was suddenly surprised.
And only the fat man just sneered and said nothing.
"It seems that the Landis people really bet on Char's kid."
With the help of the Landisians, a fleet of two large Lantis transport ships and four warships loaded with two hundred and ninety-six officials of the Empire, as well as their attendants, soon left Yenjing Osculia and, a few days later, landed in the port of Catania.
The governor of the Kingdom of Lantis in the port of Catania warmly received the hundreds of officials of the empire and held a feast.
But to the embarrassment of the Imperial officials, the Landis behaved as if they were hospitable hosts, but the more enthusiastic the Landis, the more embarrassed the Imperial officials became.
Because they are simply standing on the territory of their own country Standing on your own land, but being treated as a guest, this is really difficult to describe.
The Landis kept their promise, and after receiving a warm welcome, the two thousand Landis troops escorted the team north, passing along the border of the two warlord parties' small military districts, and the other party did not seem to be interested in looking for trouble, but just guarded the checkpoint and watched this team cross.
When the group finally arrived at the Besta Military Region, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone knew that beyond the Besta Military Region, it was the territory controlled by the northern garrison general Compared to the hospitality they received from the Landis, here at the Besta the Imperial officials were given a cold reception.
The legendary and beautiful wife of the governor did not even show her face at all, but after arranging for everyone to stay, she sent a few low-ranking officials to receive them, without good wine and food, no dinner hospitality, and even a few servants and waiters in the place where they lived.
The Besta Military District showed a very indifferent attitude.

This kind of treatment has made many officials feel indignant No matter what, everyone is also an official appointed by the central government of the empire, in terms of rank, a few of them are high-ranking officials at the county guard level, even in the face of the governor's wife, they are also on an equal footing, and the Besta people actually ignore it, and only send a few small officials the size of sesame seeds to receive them It's also too bullying However, one detail that is not known is that in fact, the beautiful Governor's wife, Monica, had told such a joke to her cronies in private when the team first entered the country.
"These people are the central officials of the empire who went to serve in Char's territory in the north, why don't we send someone to kill all these guys directly, and it can be regarded as making some trouble for Char?"
I believe that if this joke reaches the ears of those disgruntled officials, they are afraid that they will not be so angry.
The officials, who didn't know that they were actually circling around the Ghost Gate, soon set off for the north again.
The Besta sent only one battalion of soldiers to escort them all the way, expecting to say that it was an escort, but rather an escort to keep watch.
When the team reached the border of the Bestas, the Bestas immediately turned around and left, leaving the men on the border.
Finally arrived in the north, finally arrived at the place where he took office, and finally arrived at the territory of the first powerful man in the north Just when most of the people were immersed in excitement and excitement, with all kinds of apprehension and nervousness, and imagined the future in their hearts, the people sent by the garrison to greet the officials finally arrived.
What dumbfounded everyone was the team sent by the Northern Garrison, which was even more shabby than the team escorted by the Bestas The Besta people, though indifferent, sent at least one battalion of men and at least provided enough horses and carriages.
And the people sent by the Northern Garrison to greet the officials are ten people One of the young men was wearing the uniform of an officer in the imperial team, but at first glance he was in charge of logistics.
The other soldiers around him also looked lazy.
The young officer, under the gaze of hundreds of officials, finally put away the playful smile on his face, coughed a few times, and made a serious appearance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the adjutant of the transfer division of the Logistics General Administration of the Northern Garrison."
Young Yronte tried his best to make a serious appearance, but those bony eyes were really not very majestic.
For Yronte, seeing so many high-ranking officials of the empire at once was something that he had never dared to think of before.
You know, Irente was born as an authentic farmer and lazy man, and later by chance, he followed Char and became Char's servant.
But in his bones, this guy is still a peasant-like cunning little person.
Seeing so many big officials who couldn't think of it before, and these guys were all looking at him pitifully one by one, made Yronte feel a little proud.
Soon, however, he remembered his duty, and after coughing a few times, he said loudly: "I have come to greet you by order of the garrison headquarters, please come with me, and I will accompany you all the way to New Town, the capital of Syrtan County, where General Char Leiming will receive you and sign the documents for taking office one by one." ” As she spoke, Yront pointed to the far side of the road and made a "Please get on the road" gesture.
Everyone was stunned Soon, there was an uproar in the crowd.
"Why did you send a small battalion deputy to meet us?"
"Yes, Lord Ben is the Archon."
"I'm the deputy county guard" "It's too much, only a few people, does the garrison look down on us?"
Yronte's face did not change, and he still maintained a polite smile: "I'm sorry, my lords, because the garrison headquarters has been too busy lately and there is a shortage of manpower, so only despicable people have been sent here. ” "But what about our salutes" "Yes, just a few of you, where can you move so many salutes" "Even if you don't come with a few people, at least you should be ready for carriages and horses."
"It's so far from here to the new town of Siltanshire, why don't we walk all the way there?"
Listening to the shouting of the crowd, a smile of pity appeared on her face, and then she sighed deliberately: "Ladies and gentlemen, I understand everyone's feelings, but I'm sorry, the garrison is currently in short supply, everyone knows that we have just fought a war, and after the war, everything is in ruins, and the General Logistics Department is unable to allocate enough cars and horses."
Most of the chariots and horses had already been sent out to various places for post-war recovery. ” After a pause, Yronte continued to smile and said: "But don't worry, you will not be allowed to really walk to the new city, from here on, you can reach a small city before dark today, where we have prepared a transfer station, where to prepare some carriages for everyone to ride, but the number is not enough, and it is still being mobilized, so you may have to walk there first, and then ride north in batches." ” After a moment of silence, some officials couldn't help but protest: "But what about our salute?"
A lot of people are also shouting.
Indeed, everyone has taken office thousands of miles, so naturally they have brought a lot of belongings.
You must know that after being able to get this rare official position after going up and down in Yanjing, none of these people present are poor.
Among the belongings of the courtesy, there are quite a few things such as money and soft goods.
After all, after taking office, there are always some aspects that need to be addressed.
Yronte smiled sincerely: "We have already thought of this problem, please just go on the road, everyone's salute will stay here for the time being, we will send someone to watch it closely, and then wait for the subsequent deployment of the transport convoy to arrive, and then transport all the salutes over." ” Well, it seems like there is no choice.
Although there are some worries about the safety of these salute belongings lost here, everyone thinks about it, a huge northern garrison, such a big northern strongman, will never be greedy for their own belongings.
Besides, the officer named Yront seemed to smile very sincerely, and he also sent people over to register them one by one, and marked and listed all the gifts and belongings that the adults had carried.
It looks very detailed.
The doubts of the crowd gradually faded.
Immediately, the large army reluctantly continued on the road, and the group walked north.
And the Irente officer only sent a few soldiers around him to lead the way north, but he and the rest of the soldiers stayed in place to take charge of the "watch salute".
However, just as the group of adults disappeared into the distance of the main road, the loyal smile on Irente's face gradually evolved into a hint of cunning.
He looked at the boxes and bags that were piled up in an area, then laughed and waved his hand violently: "Work faster, each box is opened, the gold and silver are carefully distinguished, the valuable hard goods are left, and the rags of clothes and other goods are directly piled together and burned."
After a pause, Yronte lowered his face and shouted: "I'll say ugly things first, these things have to be reported to the public, if the hands and feet are not clean and swallowed, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite."
A soldier grinned, and then asked, "Chief, let's swallow all these officials' things, if they shout?"
"I'm afraid of a fart."
Elendt pouted: "Lord Char said, this is to give them a dismount, let them understand that when they come to our territory, they will be left to us to knead in the future, and when they turn around, they will say that these things are in transit, and all of them are lost in the water, those empty officials, who dares to fart." ” ` To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
