Chapter 1000, "Is this a coup?" "No, this is a revolution"
As Ryan expected, after Katalin heard about the recovery of Erengrad, she immediately sent a small group of cavalry from Bekafin to escort her appointed envoy, Minister Arakcheyev. Erengrad, take over the entire city, including the ready army and her people.
Of course, Katarin knew that it was shameless for her to do so, but she had no other choice now.
Just as Kahuang's letter arrived at Ryan, a letter with roughly the same content also arrived at the Queen who was staying in Beccafin.
The emperor made it clear in the letter that the empire was no longer able to provide food and logistics supplies for Katharin and her 50,000 Kislev White Guards. If she wanted to maintain the establishment of the White Guards, the Empress had to consider raising her own food and salaries. .
Speaking of wealth, Katarin does still have some wealth in her hands, but most of them are treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings and souvenirs, that is, the wealth accumulated by the Tsarist family for thousands of years, and if it is really necessary to provide food and wages for 50,000 people, there is no more With the support of the empire, Katarin can't survive for a month or two with the meager funds in her hands, and it is very difficult to realize these luxuries.
However, considering that Kislev has defended the north for thousands of years for himself after all, and that Katarin has also tried his best to defend Bekafin, the conditions given are not as strict as those of Ryan. Emperor Karl Franz's The decision is to allow Katarin to retain about 5,000 "Guards". The empire will continue to guarantee the supply of food and salaries for Katarin for eighteen to twenty-four months. As for the remaining 45,000 white troops, the empire will The supply will be cut by 30% first, 50% after one month, and completely cut off after three months.
Katharin was very reluctant to disband the White Guards. Although this army lacked combat experience and equipment could not keep up, it was the capital of her restoration. After getting the news, the Empress immediately wrote to the Emperor Katarina, asking for more time.
Originally, Kahuang hesitated somewhat after receiving the letter from the female tsarina who was almost "tearful", but at this moment, the chief wizard of the imperial royal family, Barshazer-Gelt, came from Solland, the great alchemist " "Justice" said that how much money you give her is a waste. We are currently in a tight financial situation, and we must use the money for more urgent purposes, such as rebuilding the Osterland and consolidating the defense line in the north of the empire, as well as forming a new army!
Karl Franz may have to think about it for others, but Geert can be said to be the emperor's most trusted person, and the great alchemist quickly caused the emperor to change his mind.
She was anxious, she was anxious, the female czar was anxious, and at this moment, she heard the news of Erengrad's recovery.
Or our knight brothers are reliable! Katharine was about to shed tears, she deserved to be a chivalrous Breton! Great King Lane,
Traveling thousands of miles to support the empire, but also braved the heavy snow to go deep into the border of Kislev to restore Erlengrad, without self-interested motives, what kind of spirit is this? !
Minister Arakcheyev immediately took dozens of riders on the road under the order of the empress, plus several boxes of goods, including the golden-topped and red-tasseled helmet of the bear god Ersun, Katarin's father, Red Tsar Boris, and The cavalry saber he used - the Erskine Blade, and the worn-out steel wings that he once wore on his back and followed the Red Tsar for a whole life, and were stained red by various blood after the battle. The glory and victory of the life of the Red Tsar.
These three items add up to 1,500 gold crowns, and they are mortgaged to Knight King Ryan to obtain the military funds she urgently needs.
In addition to a few large boxes of rare treasures, silk tea leaves from the royal family's inventory, and commemorative calligraphy and paintings, Katarin mortgaged a total of 3,000 gold crowns from Ryan and a group of nuns from Emilia. It is prepared to equip her Romanov Guards. This army is also named "Old Guards" by Katarin (in order to distinguish it, it is generally called Romanov Guards).
After Minister Arakcheyev arrived in Erengrad, he realized something was wrong.
As the Tsar's special envoy, if he did not receive a grand reception and a warm welcome in one place, he was sure to be looked at with awe and fear.
But today there are none of these. Even though the city is now dominated by Bretanians and Imperials, Arakcheyev still reads other emotions from those Mrs. Kesler who returned to their hometown.
Indifference, and hostility.
The minister's heart skipped a beat, and he faintly felt that it might not be so smooth for him to take back Ehrengrad this time.
The first thing I did when I entered the city was to immediately go to the newly established Duma Parliament in Erengrad to announce the Queen's will, immediately stop the referendum procedure and re-elect the Duma MPs, and Katharin will appoint a new Erengrad At the same time, Rokossovsky's Kislev Army will be immediately assigned to the current Kislev Generalissimo Denikin, and the current commander will be transferred to the commander of the Prague City Defense Army. .
However, not long after entering the city, they were stopped by a group of Old Guards Musketeers and Dragoons. The only Holy Grail Old Guard headed by them, Nicolas Davout, was fully armed, with his feet more than half crooked. Cap, wearing a commander-in-chief's uniform, with a machete hanging from his waist, he stopped in front of Arakcheyev and others: "Is it the special envoy of the female tsar? I am Nikolai Davout, deputy of the old guard Handsome, His Majesty and the Countess want to see you, and at the same time ask if you have brought anything?"
"We have brought something." Arakcheyev said somewhat unnaturally: "His Majesty Katarin has a decree, please let us go to the Duma to read the decree of the Queen, and then have an audience with His Majesty the Knight King and the Empire." Countess."
"Your Majesty doesn't have so much time to wait for you to deal with things first. The Tsar is a Majesty, and our King of Knights is also a Majesty!" Davout's attitude seemed tough and contemptuous. The special envoy was very afraid. Before Arakcheyev came, Katarin repeatedly asked him not to conflict with the Bretanians.
And looking at this group of old guard musket dragoons, Arakcheyev really couldn't laugh or cry, even if there was a conflict, how could I beat this group of old guards? Although there are only two hundred riders here in Davout, there are more than a dozen legendary powerhouses, and the heavy sense of majesty and glorious military spirit on each of the old guards is not a temporary formation by his subordinates. The White Army Guards Cavalry can compare.
In the end, the special envoy of the Queen was "invited" to Ryan. The King of Knights and the Duchess of the Empire received the special envoy, talked to him a lot, and asked very "enthusiastically" how Bekafin was doing now. The Queen Recently, how many troops are there in the White Guards? Did the forces of chaos expel them? Finally, after checking and accepting the goods, they forcibly kept him for a lunch before letting him go.
Watching the female tsarist envoy go out, Emilia lay in Ryan's arms, leaned against him, and said lazily and casually, "Are you ready over there?"
"It should be ready." Ryan put his arms around Emilia from behind, and he put his hands on Emilia's lower abdomen through the dress, and said lovingly: "Wait and see together?"
"But I want to take a nap." Emilia pretended to be cold, and she said delicately, "I don't really want to see it."
"Please count on me?" Ryan hugged his little maid tightly, and the King of Knights said softly.
"You guy, you don't seem to have any sincerity at all." Emilia was still pretending to be arrogant: "Again, show some sincerity. Doesn't our King of Knights know that you need to bow and extend your hand to invite a lady?"
"Then I'll go find Morgiana."
"How dare you!!!" Emilia frowned immediately, and the little maid instantly turned into a little lioness and jumped up: "Today belongs to me, tomorrow belongs to me, and it will be her turn the day after tomorrow!"
"Hahaha, let's go." Ryan stretched out his hand and gently held Emilia's small ankle wrapped in stockings and high-heeled laces. This is the Achilles' heel of the little maid. If Ryan's hand is held, she will completely lose all resistance.
And the little maid really likes to let Ryan hold her here. Although she doesn't say it, she likes when Ryan bullies her and holds her ankle like this.
"Okay, I'll go with you, and nothing will happen." Emilia was exhausted, so she could only express her worry: "Will it be out of control?"
"No, no one has the guts to kill people." Ryan's face was full of confidence: "Especially in front of me."
On the other side, when Arakcheyev came to the large square in front of the barracks that had been converted into the Ehrengrad Guards, the scene in front of him made the female tsarist envoy swallow her saliva involuntarily.
On the square, thousands of troops are gathering.
The original Kislev army, which has been renamed the Ehrengrad Guards, is now fully armed. Under the leadership of the current commander, Georgy Konstantinovich, they formed six large infantry phalanxes. On the two wings, a large group of Ugol cavalry archers, two teams of wing cavalry, and two teams of bear cavalry have already lined up.
"???" The female tsarist special envoy was full of question marks.
"Go ahead!" Georgi is also a strong and typical Kislev big man. He has a big bald head, deep eyes and a big nose. After seeing the appearance of the female tsarist envoy, he sneered. After a few sounds, he suddenly drew his saber from his waist: "Forward! Guards! Ulla, Constantine!"
"Ulla!!!" The ground-shaking roar resounded through the square, and the surrounding Kislev residents, imperial soldiers, and Britannian soldiers came out to watch the excitement.
"Ulla! Romanov!"
"Ulla~~~"
"What kind of special welcome ceremony is this?" Arakcheyev and the Romanov guard cavalry behind him (on foot) thought it was Mrs. Kesler's welcome ceremony at first, but soon, the entire Ecuador The Rongrad guards all pressed over.
The spearmen and sword-shield soldiers who participated in a series of city defense battles and Bagration operations were neatly lined up, wearing brand-new military uniforms and breastplates produced in Brittany, and the legendary Red Navy held muskets, Striding forward, the hussars and bear cavalry gradually circled and outflanked.
No one knew what was going on in the square, but many onlookers poured out from all directions, especially the Imperials and Bretons, all watching this scene, especially Berhemond and François. In the distance, two people were sitting in full armor, one of them was holding half a watermelon, eating it with a spoon, commenting on this scene, talking and laughing happily.
The Ehrengrad Guards approached at an accelerated speed, and several large phalanx soldiers continued to push towards the group of female tsarist envoys. They were fully armed and their weapons were unsheathed. The smile on Arakcheyev's face gradually disappeared. .
"General Georgi! What are you doing?! Tell your men to stop, stop immediately!" The Tsar's special envoy quickly drew out the rapier from his waist, and dozens of Romanov guard cavalry behind him also drew out Armed: "Stop! I order you!"
No one paid any attention to the inquiry of the female tsarist envoy. On the contrary, the majestic singing sounded first from the phalanx of the Red Navy!
"Wake up, people of the motherland! The glorious day has come!"
"Look at the evil that is our enemy, the blood-stained banner has been raised!"
"The blood-stained flag has been raised!"
"Listen, in the wilderness the enemy howls fiercely, and they come among us and kill our wives and our children!"
"Citizens, take up arms!"
"Citizens, go to battle!"
"Let the blood of the enemy water our land!"
The chorus grew louder and louder, until it spread through the streets of Erlengrad, until it flew into the sky!
"Back, back!" Minister Arakcheyev already felt that something was going wrong, and he immediately signaled everyone to back up, look for his horse, and run away, escape!
Inverted! This group of people is against it, all against it!
It was late, at this time several exits had been blocked by the army, the group of tsarist special envoys were forced to the corner of the square, they all held their long swords or sabers and huddled together, Arakcheyev shouted loudly: " Go back! Go back, all soldiers, I am the Tsar’s special envoy, and I warn you, if you still don’t know how to correct, everyone will be court-martialed and hanged!”
Finally, a Priest of Ursun came up with a group of new bureaucrats, his face was very calm: "Hello, Tsarist Envoy, I am Vladimir Vladimirovich, temporary Erlengrad The deputy of the Duma, who is also the interim mayor, is honored to introduce you to my colleagues."
"Mayor, is this a coup?" The tsar's special envoy finally caught one who could speak, and he shouted at Vladimir in a very angry and threatening tone.
"No, Mr. Envoy, this is revolution." Vladimir grabbed Arakcheyev by the collar in an instant.
With a standard over-the-shoulder fall, the Tsar's special envoy was thrown to the ground in a twirl. The ferocious Red Navy all rushed up, and the White Guards no longer dared to resist, and all disarmed.
"I declare that you are under arrest!" Georgi rode on the war bear and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, listen to me, the empress never wants things to become like this!"
"It's the court ministers who deceived each other, which led to Kislev's situation today."
"Soldiers fighting the Yankees on the frontier, their wives and sons are still starving!"
"Today, we, the engineering representative of Ehrengrad, Silavik, will punish the country's traitors, and let His Majesty the Tsar know how stupid and incompetent these people are!"
"The emperor begs for rape!" Georgi raised his fist.
"Honor the emperor and beg for traitors!!!" The entire Ehrengrad guards and citizens shouted together.
"Boom!" The Kislev warship Oleg moored at the port wharf rang out, shaking the world!
With the sentence "The National Salvation League was established today!", the history of Ehrengrad has opened a new page.
