However, when the frustrated Madurand asked to see the King of Knights for the last time and handed in his resignation in person; he was about to return to the granted manor to live in seclusion and think about his past; but he unexpectedly said, "Go back to the army." , this matter is not over yet." scolded in response.
Therefore, when the disgraced Madurand embarked on the return journey full of trepidation. As the chief administrative officer of the royal government, Feyous sighed with envy to the person beside him: "My king is still nostalgic for the past, and he actually used this method to protect his old subordinates."
It was just that the lover whose bodies were entangled next to his pillow couldn't help but want to find out more about the inside story; but Fayous persuaded him to look away. Finally, when Wai Ni had enough, he stood up to say goodbye, and he said solemnly: "For your sake, please tell your husband, or someone else behind you; my king's attitude has been very clear, this matter The outcome of the matter is over for the time being. As long as he doesn’t mention this matter again, no one can shake Ma Ang’s position.”
"So, don't presume to speculate on my king's thoughts and attitudes, or even try to use them as excuses. Otherwise, for the sake of my prosperity and future, I can only draw a clear line with you, my wife, and many other little cuties. That's the limit; that would be a shame."
At the same time, in the St. Anthony's Cross Palace, known as the Archbishop's Palace, the small terrace garden on the top floor was empty and there was no one else; only a couple were left among the flowers, whispering and tangled together. figure.
Miss Flanders, who was wearing a formal black dress and was sitting on Jiang Tian's body. She was giving a work report in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. She pressed against his chest again, gasping for breath, and begged for mercy in a low voice in disguise: "Please, please Wait a moment, otherwise, I won’t be able to continue.”
"Okay, just go and tell those people in Marseille." Jiang Tian felt the taste of Yingying's hand and said word by word in her flushed ears: "My tolerance for commercial trade does not mean that they can not The wanton expansion of restraint even crosses certain boundaries..."
"There is generally no problem in establishing a private bank exclusively for the South. But! It is absolutely impossible to wantonly manipulate the market, participate in politics, and infiltrate the military like the bankers in the capital. New The royal government and the military will never allow it!"
"Therefore, I plan to divide the project they requested into two." At this point, Jiang Tian, who felt the tension in his body, softened his tone and said: "First of all, outside the framework of the royal government, a national reserve bank will be established to be responsible for Exclusive currency issuance and exchange business.”
"Then, they will form a joint-stock United Quanye Bank according to their respective proportions of capital; it will be responsible for the remaining daily business needs such as loans and savings. However, both the Preparatory Bank and the Quanye Bank must accept government supervision and regular rotation financial audit.”
"The newly born kingdom does not need such unfettered uncertainties with questionable positions; it will not allow blatant infiltration, interference and manipulation of political trends with the help of money. Therefore, the Northland Chamber of Commerce and Industry, led by the Capital Bank Group, Capital must be punished and liquidated.”
"This is the blood debt and unforgivable sin they owe to the turmoil in this country and to the subjects of the vast kingdom." Jiang Tian paused here and said: "Maybe some people can be exempted, but as a The entire banking syndicate must be eradicated."
"So, Fran, please tell those who want to test and plead. I don't care what kind of relationship they have with the Northern Capital Bank Group or their unclear involvement; they all need to make a choice at this time. Otherwise, when I Soldiers entering Seine City are not simply collaborating with the enemy."
"..." At this moment, Miss Flanders's whole body felt cold, as if her whole body, inside and out, had been seen through. But he smiled sadly in relief: "How can there be such a stupid and ignorant person in the world! Will he ignore the unlimited prospects of his career in the south and cling to some old connections and future?... After all, you It is the only pillar that can protect them and continue to keep their careers prosperous.”
"So, my dear Fran." Jiang Tian suddenly turned to him and said: "I plan to let you serve as the official representative of United Quanye Bank as a member of the Commerce and Trade and Overseas Development Committee; better Supervise those chambers of commerce and consortia to prevent them from going astray."
"Please call me Fran." When Miss Flandre heard this, she was filled with joy and excitement. She tried her best to stretch her flushed body and fell down on the table with a wonderful mood and tone that she herself could not describe. Said: "I can do it again, please don't feel sorry for me anymore..."
However, I don't know how long it took, Flandre woke up from the coma again, and was a little worried when he noticed the man's momentary absence: "You, what's wrong.". Jiang Tian came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that I've been talked about a bit frequently in the past two days."
Thousands of miles away, the battlefield on the southern front of the capital region was almost completely flat outside the city of Ameleye with only a few hills. The Overseas Legion Pioneer Corps, which had just suffered a serious defeat, was retreating in an orderly and orderly manner under the shroud of some invisible light.
There were constantly groups of royal cavalry trying to pursue them; however, after crossing some invisible boundary, even their men and horses became sluggish in their movements and reactions; their arrows and muskets were also off-target. , but was knocked down by the array shot that stopped in front of him.
On a nearby hill, Polis, the current commander of Wang Li's 11th Corps, who had just taken advantage of the enemy's carelessness and aggressive advance, and was seriously out of touch with the rear troops, organized a quite successful ambush. He frowned and looked at the battlefield with some dissatisfaction.
Because, for this deliberate ambush, he not only released several cavalry companies as a price and bait to lure the enemy deeper; he also concentrated on using all the cannon and gunpowder that could be found in the capital area, just to annihilate this army without Lightly-armed troops supported by artillery.
Of course, in the previous successful blocking and interception battles, he had been quickly promoted by the royal court and obtained the title and authority of deputy commander of the Capital Guard Corps; he was specifically responsible for all the battles on the southern front of Seine City. Armed Forces and regional fortress construction projects.
However, when he had successfully trapped and tried to encircle and annihilate the vanguard of the rebel army, unexpected friendly forces suddenly came to support him, disrupting the situation and destroying all his chances. As a result, these friendly forces who joined the battle in a chaotic manner became a breakthrough point for the enemy.
Then, the enemy's follow-up reinforcements came earlier than expected, breaking through the blockade of the other two corps on the periphery; and greatly inspired the trapped comrades who were still fighting. As a result, under internal and external constraints, the annihilation battle he envisioned could only turn into a defeat that ended in an anticlimactic manner.
And the flag that finally appeared on the battlefield seemed to have some special effect, which made him vaguely resentful; it was somewhat similar to something he had seen in the underground storage room of his ancestral home when he was in his hometown in D'Artagnan. , but I couldn’t remember what it was for a while.
What bothered him even more was that this unexpected friendly force showed some strange and dangerous signs during the battle; for example, when the battle was at its fiercest, they would become violent, make strange roars and shouts, and even Without distinguishing between friend and foe, he accidentally injures his own people around him.
As soon as Polis raised a little question, the legion flag officer/military judge who stayed by his side, who was also the secretary of the royal adviser, interrupted the topic at the right time; and implicitly expressed that in order to resist the threat and advance of the rebel party, The dynasty will unite all available forces.
Therefore, as a valued minister of the dynasty and a military commander with a bright future, he should not have any doubts or random thoughts. However, when Polis was struggling with this, he couldn't help but see a face full of maternal tenderness in his mind, which made him temporarily forget everything.
But no matter what, after this battle, which can be called a rare victory, the dynasty's reliance on this young general will reach a new level. Therefore, with the enemy on the southern front temporarily retreating, Polis also received a summons from the royal court to hold a celebration and investiture ceremony.
As a result, the dynasty invested more resources and provided assistance in all aspects; for example, he finally obtained intelligence about the battle against the rebel commander. For example, the opponent is a special being who is indistinguishable between male and female and can summon monsters to appear, so she is also called the "Saint of Africa".
But because wherever "she" goes, she is always accompanied by wars and disasters, so she is also called the "Dragon Witch" by her hated enemies and opponents; she represents the anti-Church/Antichrist-like symbol of disaster. But what’s even more surprising is that “she” is from Gascon.
from the same region. Therefore, the Gascon people in the kingdom were divided. Almost all the Gascon people who stayed in their hometown in the southwest province took refuge with the "Dragon Witch" nearby. The Gascons serving in the north gathered under Polis.
Therefore, in the battlefield surrounding the southern part of the capital region, one can hear from time to time the Gascons from Saskatchewan who cursed their hometown in each other's camps and fought together without hesitation; there were even some former compatriots and neighbors among them. , and even close relatives and family members.
Although it is said that in the past wars of the kingdom, the position of being a noble mercenary and a soldier of the kingdom is not unheard of. After fighting, it was discovered that it was actually a family matter. But after such frequent encounters, Polis also had some doubts in Xinzhong.
Therefore, after returning to the capital, Polis could not wait to see his lover Joseph, hoping to verify something from her. However, when he rode his horse across the bridges and arches on the tributaries of the Seine, he was suddenly overwhelmed by overwhelming cheers.
By the way, I really can’t think of a more appropriate slogan to use when the protagonist’s army charges. Everyone is welcome to make suggestions. Otherwise, I can only become a green-skinned WAAAAAA
