Military power can only be demonstrated in blood and fire.
He has always advocated adopting the most severe repressive measures against these so-called revolutionary parties. Only by draining the blood of these leading sheep can the entire flock be frightened and allowed to move forward under his driving force.
It's just that Archduke Christian was afraid of bringing unnecessary turmoil to the entire territory, so he kept hesitating.
Unexpectedly, Viscount Gauld's concerns about the potential connection between the Revolutionary Party and the Eternal Night Army Leader made Archduke Christian completely determined.
Viscount Gauld, the instigator of this incident, changed his face slightly and hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, doing this at this time will only completely intensify the contradiction between the local forces and the Revolutionary Party, causing many unnecessary bloody conflicts.
Not to mention, it will completely push those neutral revolutionary parties into the arms of the Yongye military leader."
"You were the one who suggested that the Revolutionary Party had collusion with the leaders of the Evernight Army, and now you are the one who disagrees with uprooting the Revolutionary Party. Your Excellency, the Viscount, your statements are too contradictory." Count Nickles looked displeased.
Yue said, "If you don't take action on these revolutionary parties, how are you going to deal with them? Is it possible for you to agree to their ridiculous demands in order to appease them? As you just said, many people want our lives.
Can we agree to replace us with this request?"
"Of course we cannot agree to this ridiculous request, and there are only a few of them. The reason why most revolutionary parties joined is because they have suffered unfair treatment in their territories and their own interests have been seriously violated.
As long as His Majesty comes forward and can give them justice and give them some compensation, they can be appeased. The cost is no greater than the cost of sending troops to encircle and suppress them. At the same time, it can use this matter to show His Majesty's kindness and unite the people.
The loyalty of the people." Viscount Gauld expressed his suggestion.
He can be regarded as the person who knows the most about the Revolutionary Party in Huayu Plateau, because he has seen with his own eyes how many people embarked on the path of the Revolutionary Party.
Many of them were civilian merchants who had gone to the Yongye Army with him.
After everything that belonged to them was taken away by the local powerful, they had no place to reason, so they could only embark on this path of resistance without any hope.
If it weren't for the convenience of working for the Yongye Army Commander and his background as a knight, he would be able to hook up with Archduke Christian.
It is very likely that he will also become a member of the revolutionary party.
Without the power to match the huge wealth, this wealth will become the source of disaster and bring disaster to yourself and your family.
"We have discussed this issue a long time ago. This precedent must not be set. Once it is set, it will shake the foundation of our rule. Not only will it not achieve the purpose of eradicating the revolutionary party, but it will encourage this trend.
Let many people follow our example, and those untouchables will jump out to start a revolution with us if something goes against their expectations, demanding benefits and conditions, and then the entire territory will be in chaos." Count Nicholls sternly refused.
"Count Nicholls thinks too badly of the people in the territory. Most of the people in the territory keep to themselves. As long as their lives can be lived, who will risk hanging to make a revolution? Since they are making trouble, it shows that our governance
If there is a problem, as long as the problem is corrected and they are still messing around, then we can let them know how sharp our knives really are."
Viscount Gauld argued, "I never think that the Revolutionary Party is a bad thing at all. On the contrary, it is a kind of urging for us."
"Your Excellency the Viscount's idea is very dangerous. Do you sympathize with those revolutionary parties?" Count Nickles said in a dark voice, "I have heard that many revolutionary parties have had close personal relationships with you, especially Ashes.
The leader of the party is your friend for many years, so you won’t keep in touch with them now, right?”
"Your Excellency, please don't be slanderous. I admit that we did keep in touch before they became the Revolutionary Party, but that was also normal business dealings. That's what I do. This is how the wealth of our chamber of commerce mainly comes from." Gold.
The Viscount defended himself, "I have severed all relations with them since they became a revolutionary party. The reason why I speak for them is completely impartial and for the sake of the future of the Bryan family. Or is it because the Earl is afraid?"
What?"
"What do I have to be afraid of?" Count Nicholas asked, squeezing his neck.
"Don't tell me that you don't know that the leader of the Ashes Party is on the road to revolution." Viscount Gauld obviously had something to say.
"What do you mean?" Count Nicholls became furious and shouted loudly, "Do you mean to say that I forced him to take this path?"
"I didn't say it was you, but it doesn't mean that your family didn't do that. Go and investigate. More than half of the territories and industries attacked by the Ashes are closely related to your family. Do you think this is a coincidence?"
The sarcasm on Viscount Gold's lips became even more intense.
"You are spitting blood..."
"That's enough." Archduke Christian interrupted the quarrel between the two in a deep voice, "In extraordinary times, with extraordinary means, since my order has been issued, I will not take it back. Viscount Gauld, I believe in your
Loyalty, but some things are not something you should worry about, you just need to do your own thing."
"Yes." When the two of them bowed their heads at the same time to accept the order, Count Nickles still gave Viscount Gauld a demonstrative glance.
From then on, Viscount Gauld was in a trance and did not send another glance, nor did he hear clearly what Christine said to the two important ministers until they were driven out of the castle.
It has started to rain lightly outside. Although the rain is not heavy, it is biting and cold, just like Viscount Gold's body and mind.
He had just lost the dispute with Count Nicholls, which completely made him feel disheartened.
Because in this matter, it was not just his own defeat, but the failure of the person he represented.
He represents the group of people for whom he speaks, not the revolutionary party, but the lower class people.
The Revolutionary Party was formed by the transformation of these people from the territory. If this connection of transformation is not completely cut off, what if Count Nickles kills him and bleeds him like a river?
Revolutionary parties will still spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and they are the ones who created them.
It’s not that Archduke Christian didn’t know the root cause, but he chose to side with the local nobles represented by Count Nicholls.
In his eyes, the local nobility represented by Earl Nickles is the foundation for the Bryan family to maintain its rule over the entire Huayu Plateau.
When the interests of the lower-class citizens conflict with the local nobles, it is a matter of course for the latter to make way for the former.
"The sky is going to change, and the sky is going to be dyed red with blood." Viscount Gauld muttered to himself as he looked up at the gray sky.
It is inevitable that the sky of Huayu Plateau will be dyed red with blood.
But after all, it was a revolutionary party that was not looked down upon by the local nobles and was not treated as human beings.
It's still these high-ranking local nobles.
Then don't say it.
Because there is another leader of the Yongye Army in the northeast who is eyeing him.
The ruling class of the Bryan family, headed by Archduke Christian, greatly disappointed Viscount Gauld.
Even though the Eternal Night Army Leader has created so much brilliance and brought such obvious changes to the world, he has already instilled it in them for nearly ten years.
They still looked at this new force with ordinary eyes, and there was a sense of contempt in their bones from top to bottom.
This is the unique contempt that established aristocratic families have for those nouveau riche.
They believe that the series of achievements created by the other party are just due to luck. When they get here, this luck will come to an end.
Faced with this unprecedented change, where should we go?
To be buried with the Bryan family, who have a rotten atmosphere in their bones?
Or take the opportunity to embark on a completely new path?
If it's the former, you don't need to do anything, you just need to watch quietly.
If it's the latter, you'll need to plan carefully.
You must know that the Yongye Army leads many places, which are fundamentally different from the Brian family. If you are not careful, you will be included in the list of the Great Purge because of your current status, and you may die in an unknown manner.
.
Viscount Copperfield Gold, who was thinking about his future in the rain, unknowingly walked faster and faster, just like his thoughts, maybe he had made a new decision.
Behind Viscount Gauld, there were two pairs of vulture-like eyes, staring at his retreating figure.
The owner of these two pairs of eyes was none other than the Intelligence Minister and Military Minister of the Bryan family who had just crossed paths with them in the castle palace.
"This guy's hands are getting longer and longer. I really don't understand why Your Majesty would hire a guy with no foundation and give him such heavy trust, entrusting him with the most profitable industry of the entire family." Nick.
In Count Les's words, there was not only deep dissatisfaction with Viscount Gauld, but also resentment towards Archduke Christian.
"Old man, these words coming out of your mouth will lower your management level. Our Majesty is interested in this guy's lack of foundation. If His Majesty hands over those oily properties to you,
In my hands, do you think he can still sleep peacefully without worrying about how much oil we stole from him all day long?" Calvin sneered.
"This is really the truth. Having no roots and no foundation means that you have to be timid and must rely firmly on His Majesty's side. Even if you are timid and steal the oil to enrich yourself, Your Majesty will not have any hesitation in raising the butcher's knife against him.
." Count Nicholls is also an old politician, and he can make sense at one point, "The outside world says that our Majesty is a loser who does not want to make progress, and they are all deceived by his disguised appearance."
"This kind of handwriting is not necessarily from His Majesty's hand, but the old immortal behind him is coming up with the idea." Calvin's smile became even brighter, and he said with unspeakable malice, "Of course you can use it without any foundation.
There are all kinds of advantages, but there is also one biggest disadvantage, that is, the loyalty is far inferior to that of veterans like us who have great families and great businesses, especially in such a precarious time... people's hearts are unpredictable!"
"You are telling the truth. What kind of idea are you talking about? Come on and tell me." Count Nicholas and Count Calvin are old rivals. Before Viscount Gauld showed up, they had already fought twice.
More than ten years.
After having Viscount Gauld as their common opponent, the relationship between the two men eased somewhat, and sometimes they even joined forces.
There is no permanent hatred between people like them, only eternal interests.
As long as the interests are in place, it is not difficult to laugh away grudges and vice versa.
"Don't you think this is our best chance to eradicate him completely?" Earl Calvin's lips curled up slightly, and he said seductively in a low voice, "Your Excellency, the Earl, is not interested at all in the arsenal and chamber of commerce trade routes that he controls?"
"Even if I'm interested, Your Majesty doesn't want to see it, right? The person behind His Majesty won't agree!" Count Nicholas was still worried about Archduke Christian's reaction.
Although Archduke Christian himself is rotten, the Bryan family behind him is not completely rotten. Behind him is a great scholar who has taught him since childhood.
Old nobles like Calvin and Earl Nicholls all know that many of the core policies of the Flower Language Plateau came from him.
Because of his existence, Grand Duke Christian has lived a luxurious life of debauchery and drunkenness since childhood, but the Bryan family has never been cannibalized and replaced by other noble families.
Some people who knew the inside story even couldn't help but maliciously speculate whether the person behind Archduke Christine deliberately indulged Archduke Christine and deliberately let him take a detour in order to gain the opportunity to control the situation behind the scenes.
"Hey, do you really think that the one behind His Majesty is so powerful? If he was really that powerful, he wouldn't have been kicked out of the Warlock Alliance. Instead, he would have become the controller of the Warlock Alliance. He is a typical
It's not enough, but it's more than enough. When I heard that the leader of the Yongye Army wanted to dig out the Warlock Alliance from the plateau, he was probably crazy about it. Instead of blocking it, he provided convenience.
What was the result?
The Warlock Alliance left the poverty-stricken mountains and arrived at the Yongye Army Leader. It was like a fish returning to the sea.
There was a conference of scholars, and a college of higher learning was opened. In just ten years, countless scholars were taught, and the title of scholar was almost ruined.
That old guy's energy has obviously lost some strength in the past few years, especially this time. Don't you think his reaction is very slow?
I suspect this old guy will go to his grave soon.
We can use Viscount Gauld as a test to see how the old guy reacts, and it won’t be too late for us to make the next step.”
Count Calvin is very aware of the nature of his old opponent. If he doesn't throw out something weighty and tempting, he will never take the bait easily.
