: 2505 Thunderstorm (25)

　　
　　 "It's really touching and down-to-earth..."
　　
The fat man took a long sigh of relief and sat on the carriage's sofa, looking away from the opened window curtain to the street outside. Most of the shops were closed. The open shops were also half-covered by the wooden doors, and the shelves were empty. , Covered with a thick layer of thick dust, Camargue, one of the three major ports on the West Coast of Fezer. After the sea bumps and the time for negotiations on the sea, when the fat man reached Camargue on the coast of Fezer, it was already It’s the end of October,
　　
The city seemed exceptionally silent, with the lone moon hanging in the air, the silver moonlight falling down, some houses were destroyed in the conflict, and the piles of rubble debris had not been cleaned up, blocking many streets, and the rooms along the street were soaked Dim lights, in some black alleys, women and children curled up in the dark corners of the street, with hungry yellowish colors on their faces, or something flipping on the house dump, because it is late at night, guard The black armor of the cavalry is almost completely integrated into the night. Although the sound of the horseshoe is there, it seems to be erratic. From time to time, there are horrified eyes looking over here
　　
"Three days ago, 40,000 people from the Northwest Army arrived, and the Fezers withdrew their defensive forces as scheduled, and they also handed over the detailed area maps to the Northwest Army. Although I don’t know anything about Feize, I have at least arrived Now, we have taken over one-third of the handover area." Navy Secretary Dusterenkai sat across from the carriage and calmly reported to the fat man about taking over the Fazer area.
　　
　　 "How about resistance?"
　　
The fat man rubbed his temples. For land animals like fat people, when they are at sea, the daily thing is to lie prone in their own rooms, although the dragon-class main battleship of the Imperial Navy is already known throughout the Obaro continent. The largest warship, but still unable to resist the invasion of the hurricane at sea. The constant turbulence of the warship seriously affects people’s diet and sleep. Not to mention the ocean navy of this era, the logistics supply is completely unconnected with comfort, even if it is His Majesty the Emperor, all he can get is only to maintain a fair degree
　　
"The Northwest military clerk is willing to follow His Majesty's request. For peacefully handover areas, he strictly restrains his subordinates, so overall it is not bad." Dustrounkai paused and seemed to think of something, saying, "Now those resistances are mainly All are concentrated in Kuer City, Lorraine City and Jas Platform, the number of people is about 78,000
　　
　　 "There are so many?"
　　
The fat man put his hands rubbing his temples a little unexpectedly, and looked out of the carriage. Outside was the dark city. There were patrols wearing imperial black armor along the street. This time, the attack was almost effortless. Feather The side proposed a truce and offered thousands of miles of coastline. Although it is known that there must be a problem behind this matter, from the area that the army transported to it later took over, Fezer obviously concealed something because Many Fezer troops who took over the region completely disregarded the orders of the Fezer royal family to surrender, and were eventually beaten by the Imperial Northwest Army, and then fled towards the above regions
　　
　　 After such a thing, the empire also began to realize that it had not reached the coastal area, but it was not much related to the royal family
　　
But this is not important. What is important is that these areas are really in the hands of the empire. The agreement is signed in black and white anyway. The Fei Ze royal family admitted that these areas belong to the territory of the Falcon Empire. The measures taken in these areas are entirely the internal affairs of the empire!
　　
"There are indeed a lot of people, but there are only three or four thousand real Feznu slave lords. They are all nobles. The other servants of these Fez nobles are like slaves. When their masters fled, Together with these people, Dusterenkai said eccentrically. "And the Northwest Army reported several conflicts with the surrendered slave masters of the region. The Northwest Army believed that these hoards contained a lot of slaves. The slave masters of slaves should release slaves in accordance with imperial decree, but the masters of slave slaves said that these slaves were all private property that they paid for. If they were to be released, they must take out the money."
　　
"Take money? They really dare to say," the fat man smiled coldly, the empire did not have slaves, so entering a country with an unusually large number of slaves, every empire soldier had a feeling of incompatibility, Moreover, this coastline is the area where slave trade is most rampant
　　
　　The coastal area is concentrated with 70% of the slaves in Fizer’s country, and tens of thousands of plantation manors. It is normal for the Northwest Army to clash when it takes over
　　
　　" Let the Northwest Army temporarily ignore those slave slave lords. "The fat man put down the curtain of the car window and looked back.
　　
"Leave it indifferent? If that's the case, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the empire. After all, the entire West Coast is watching the empire's every move." Dustron Kay expressed his concerns. After all, it was too rush to take over the West Coast. What if the empire compromised with slave lords, then the slave lords of the entire West Coast would come face-to-face with the empire as in conflict?
　　
"Relax, Crolisat will take care of this. "The fat man raised his eyebrows and saw Dusterenkai's anxious face, and a smirk came out of his mouth." Don't forget, Crolisat is a mountain hunter, Although there is no sternness from the soldiers, there is never a lack of cunning from the hunter. You tell me what he said. He will understand. Don’t forget that these slave masters can control such a large number of slaves because they rely on The Fezer army, but now the Fezer army has been withdrawn, and the imperial army says it will not take care of the conflict, so what about those slaves?"
　　
"I should tear these slave masters alive." Dusterenkai took a breath. According to what he saw on the West Coast, the slave master never regarded slaves as human beings, not even cattle. It’s better, even if it’s a sheep, you can get three or four slaves on the West Coast. The rituals are considered very normal behaviors. The entire west coast has nearly three million slaves, but the Fezer nobles who control slaves are only seven or eight thousand people. Such a huge disparity ratio is itself a Unstable existence,
　　
To be honest, Dusterenka admired these runaway Fezino slave lords and nobles. They were just looking for their own deaths, even if they ran on their own. They also ran with a large number of servants. The slave owner did not know that once these slaves rebelled against water, the slaver who suffered the most was the slave master,
　　
　　" told the Northwest Army that all Fezers who were unwilling to obey the empire could them to these areas, and let the Northwest Army take over all the sites before saying "The voice of the emperor came from the opposite side
　　
　　"Yes, my subordinates understood that "Dustlenka said he knew
　　
The fat man took out a report from the Ministry of Military Affairs and handed it to Dusterenkai. "Follow-up troop transport needs to be accelerated. Before the winter freezes completely, on the west coast, the imperial force needs to reach 100,000, and the imperial navy needs to build a navy on the west coast. I have let the Ministry of Military Affairs follow the special procedures. The size of the naval port is only as small as the building scale, and it is no smaller than Lisbon. It is necessary to let the entire West Coast see the deterrent force of the imperial navy so that it can be completely cut off. The coveted hearts of the dissatisfied Fitzers and the naval port will also undertake the transfer of cargo to and from, so they not only have huge warehouses, cargo yards, but also complete docks that are enough to repair warships... "
　　
　　 "Ka," the carriage suddenly shuddered suddenly and stopped suddenly
　　
Dusterenka’s face in the carriage suddenly changed. Although it was already martial law in the city and the army controlled the city, there was no guarantee that there would be no assassins of the Fezers. In fact, some nobles of Fezer The entry of the imperial army and the formation of an assassination team aimed at the imperial officers, but the carriage of your majesty has absolutely no special signs, and it looks very ordinary from the outside. It is also a temporary decision to enter the city late at night. It may be grasped that there was a whining voice from the Imperial Guard outside, and there were some women crying,
　　
　　 "Don't be nervous, it should be a slave who has run away"
　　
The fat man glanced calmly outside. The imperial guard cavalry in front of the open road blocked a large group of haggard men. Most of them were women, and a few were men. All were thin and malnourished. , Suddenly burst out in the dark night, like a ghost in the dark night
　　
The slaves outside probably knew that the Imperial Army’s armor was black, but they didn’t know the difference between the Imperial Army’s ordinary armor and the Imperial Guard, and they didn’t know that they were blocking the Imperial Emperor. , Squeaky, I don’t know what to say. Most of the Feznu slaves come from the more remote southern region, and the language is also various. For the imperial soldiers, the words of these Feznu slaves are basically inaudible. Understand, the only way for both parties to communicate is to use body language. Fortunately, being able to become an imperial guard is a smart person.
　　
　　 "Don't do it"
　　
Looking at the gestures of these slave slaves, a captain of the guard waved his hand to the man who had pulled out the sharp sword, Lema turned from the front, stopped in front of the carriage, and reported to the fat man, "It was a team escape Slaves, they said someone was chasing them and wanted to seek our refuge"
　　
　　 "Send two people and take them to the barracks, let the local garrison resolve"
　　
The fat man waved his hand. Since the imperial army entered the coastal area, a large number of slaves under the control of the Fezers have fled. Many slaves have also heard about the conflict between the imperial army and the slave master, so He often voluntarily ran to the Imperial Barracks to avoid the pursuit of slave masters. Although Fezer’s army had already withdrawn, these slave masters all had their own private army. Once they caught the escaped slaves, they were punished. Is also cruel
　　
"Yes, Your Majesty" the commander of the guard who received the order put his right hand on the chest to salute, and then turned back to the front, picked two guards, and let the two guards lead these slaves to the local garrison. Under normal circumstances, the garrison These slaves will be sent to the port under repair, where a large number of manpower is needed, where the slaves will be used as workers, get the remuneration they deserve, get accommodation and placement, and receive unified protection from the army,
　　
This kind of thing has been common since entering the coastal area. There are elite troops stationed in the direction of the port. Even if the private armies of the slave owners are bold, they will not dare to approach the port because the empire is docked there. The formidable giant warship, privately known as the "Imperial Sea Dragon" by the Feznu slave lord Fezzenu slave lord thinks that these imperial warships have terrible power. The Falcon Empire is only because of such terrible weapons. In just a few years, it swept across the north-central Obaro, and the two empires fell apart
　　
Nu Xianli followed the two Imperial Guards to leave, the carriage continued to move forward, and finally stopped in front of a villa. As a temporary settlement, this villa did not look conspicuous. The Guards who had arrived before had already carefully surveyed The entire other courtyard, and according to the emperor’s instructions, had brought a very prestigious old man among the local scholars,
　　
When the fat man walked into the living room, he just saw the old man. He was wearing cotton and linen clothes that were obviously higher than ordinary slaves. His face was not a lack of nutritious dishes, but a ruddy, and he had a golden document in his hand. The Fei Ze Wendian on the cover, brought here by the murderous Imperial soldiers at night, the old man's face was obviously a little uneasy,
　　
Although the Imperial officer who brought him told him not to be afraid, but asked him to teach an adult Fazer grammar, but this did not weaken his inner fear a little. The imperial army suddenly entered the city, and the Federer nobleman served by the old man stayed overnight. He ran away with his servants and property. The old man had to leave because his daughter was seriously ill and could not leave. Although he did not know what the Imperial Army was, he had served a family of military ministers for more than 20 years. For the falcon empire from the north, I have heard some of them,
　　
The empire was by no means as kind as the empire officer when he invited him. Instead, the empire was murderous and murderous, fighting everywhere, robbing the land and population of other countries, and inventing terrible weapons that could explode. Anyone who opposed the empire, Without exception, they are all executed. Being able to send an officer to invite themselves is enough to show that the adult tonight is not an ordinary person, and is likely to be a senior general of this brutal empire
　　
　　 When the door opened, the old man knelt down on the ground, almost daring to look up, he just saw a pair of gritty riding boots stopped in front of him, spotless, black dazzling
　　
　　 "What's your name?" The owner of the voice sounds not very old,
　　
　　 "Dear Lord, I am the product of Bibiana's family, Lu Andribia" The old man said with a trembling voice, the imperial language spoken was awkward, but it was basically understandable
　　
"Get up, is there any particularity to this name?" The fat man waved his hand, made the old man stand up, and then sat down on the seat opposite. "I don't know much about Fezer, but there are some documents that need to know Fezer. It was interpreted by people, so they sent someone to come to you. They said that you have some of the most knowledgeable people in the whole region. I don’t know if I heard it wrong or it’s the first time I heard someone’s name with the word
product
in it. of"
　　
　　 "Adult is not wrong, the reason for the belongings is because my father is a slave" The old man raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and there was a sense of pride in his tone.
　　
　　 "Oh? So your Excellency?" The fat man was slightly stunned~EbookFREE.me~ He did not expect that the most knowledgeable person in this area turned out to be a descendant of a slave,
　　
"Once a slave, with his own name, in Fitzer meant that he had got rid of the slave's identity." The old man seems to have known such a look for a long time, and he didn't mean to explain "My father saved the former The master’s life, so the former master promised him a condition, so he asked the former master to give me a name, because with the name, I am qualified to follow behind to learn no, after a very harsh test, I use the knowledge I have Always serving the family of the former owner"
　　
"I heard that you stayed because of some lasting reasons. If you are given another choice, will you choose to stay, or will you follow your master to flee?" The fat man's eyes became a little dignified. If you want to control the West Coast, you can't get around The issue of slavery is not open, and the issue of slavery is not entirely as long as it is given to a person who is free from his own person. This point is still returned by the port direction. These slaves who are concentrated in the work of the plantation, Many people are not the first generation. They are at the bottom. From the day they were born, they were urged to ask them to plant fruit trees and the like. To ask them to do other work is basically blind. This is also one of the reasons why fat men find old people. For these Fezer Nurs to learn the most basic skills, it is necessary to translate the imperial dialect into Fezer dialect, which is not the scope of soldiers, but the scope of scholars.
　　
　　 "I will flee with the master" The old man said with certainty
　　
　　 "Why?" The fat man asked again
　　
　　 "Because I want food, and leave the owner, I will starve to death!" The old man's words are very sincere and very worrying, 〖To be continued〗【】
