Chapter 975
"Obey." Earl Nicholas gladly accepted the order.
Military power can only be manifested in blood and fire.
He has always advocated the harshest suppression of these so-called revolutionary parties. Only by draining the blood of these leaders can he deter the entire flock and let them move forward under his own drive.
It's just that Grand Duke Christine is afraid of bringing unnecessary turmoil to the entire territory, so he has been hesitant.
Unexpectedly, Viscount Gould's potential connection between the Revolutionary Party and the leader of the Yongye army made Grand Duke Christine completely determined.
The instigator of this incident, Viscount Gould, changed his face slightly, and hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, doing so at this time will only completely intensify the conflict between the local forces and the revolutionary party, and cause many unnecessary bloody conflicts." Needless to say, it will completely push those neutral revolutionary parties into the embrace of the Yongye military leader."
"It was you who proposed the link between the Revolutionary Party and the Eternal Night Army, and now you are the one who disagrees with uprooting the Revolutionary Party. Your Excellency, your statements are too contradictory." Earl Nicholas looked displeased. Yue said, "If you don't attack these revolutionaries, how will His Excellency Viscount plan to deal with them? Is it impossible to agree to their ridiculous demands in order to appease them? You just said that many people want our old lives. Replace us, can we agree to this request?"
"Of course this kind of absurd request cannot be granted, and there are only a few of them. Most of the revolutionary parties joined because they suffered unfair treatment in the territory and their own interests were seriously violated.
As long as His Majesty comes forward, he can return them justice and give them some compensation, and they will be appeased. The cost will not be greater than the cost of sending troops to encircle and suppress them. The loyalty of the people. "Viscount Gould expressed his suggestion.
He can be regarded as the person who has the deepest understanding of the Revolutionary Party in Huayu Plateau, because he has seen with his own eyes how many people embarked on the road of the Revolutionary Party.
Many of them were civilian businessmen who had gone to the Yongye Army with him.
After everything that belonged to them was taken away by the local dignitaries, they had no place to reason, so they could only embark on this road of resistance with no hope in sight.
If it wasn't for the convenience of working for the leader of the Yongye army and his background as a knight, he would have hooked up with Grand Duke Christine.
It is very likely that he will also become a member of the Revolutionary Party.
Without the power to match the huge wealth, these wealth will become the source of disaster, bringing disaster to oneself and family members.
"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 governance. Not only will it not achieve the goal of eradicating the revolutionary party, but it will also fuel this trend. Let many people follow suit, and those untouchables will jump out to make a revolution with us if they have a little bit of trouble, asking for benefits and conditions, and then the whole territory will be messed up." Earl Nichols sternly refused.
"Earl Nichols thinks too badly about those citizens. Most of the citizens are law-abiding. As long as they can get by, who would risk hanging themselves to make a revolution? Since they are making trouble, it shows 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 are."
Viscount Gould retorted, "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 Majesty's thoughts are very dangerous. Do you sympathize with those revolutionary parties?" Earl Nicholas said in a dark voice, "I heard that many revolutionary parties have had a lot of personal friendship with you, especially Ashes. The leader of the party is your friend for many years, you don’t keep in touch with them now, do you?”
"Your Excellency, don't spit on people. I admit that before they became a revolutionary party, we did keep in touch with each other, but that is also a normal business relationship. That's what I do. This is how the wealth of our chamber of commerce mainly comes from." Gould The Viscount defended himself, "Since they became the Revolutionary Party, I have severed all ties with them. The reason why I speak for them is to act impartially and for the sake of the future of the Brian family. Or is it that the Earl is afraid What?"
"What am I afraid of?" Earl Nicholas asked back, poking his neck.
"Don't tell me, you don't know that the leader of the Ash Party is on the road of revolution." Viscount Gould obviously meant something.
"What do you mean?" Earl Nicholas was furious and said loudly, "You mean, I forced him to 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 Ash Party are closely related to your family. Do you think this is a coincidence?" The sarcasm at the corner of Viscount Gould's mouth grew stronger.
"You're spitting blood..."
"Enough." Grand Duke Christine interrupted the quarrel between the two in a deep voice, "In an extraordinary time, with extraordinary means, since my order has been issued, I am not going to take it back, Viscount Gould, I believe your order Loyalty, but there are some things that you should not worry about, you just need to do your own thing."
"Obey." When the two bowed their heads to accept the order at the same time, Earl Nicholas still threw a demonstration at Viscount Gould.
From then on, Viscount Gould was in a trance, did not send another glance, and did not hear clearly what Christine said to the two important ministers afterwards, until they were kicked out of the castle.
It was already raining lightly outside. Although the rain was not heavy, it was bitingly cold, just like Viscount Gould's body and mind.
He was completely disheartened by the loss of the dispute with Earl Nicholas just now.
Because of this matter, it is not just a simple defeat of himself, but the failure of the person he represents.
What he represents is the group of people he speaks for, not the revolutionary party, but the group of low-level leaders.
The revolutionary party was formed by the transformation of these leaders. If the connection of transformation is not completely cut off, so what if Earl Nicholas is killed to the point of bloodshed?
Revolutionary parties will still spring up like mushrooms after rain, and they are the ones who created them.
It's not that Grand Duke Christian didn't know the root of it, but he chose to stand on the side of the local nobles represented by Count Nicholas.
In his eyes, the local nobles represented by Earl Nicholas are the foundation for the Bryan family to maintain the rule of the entire Huayu Plateau.
When the interests of those low-level people conflicted with the local nobles, it was a matter of course for the latter to make way for the former.
"The sky is going to change, the sky is going to be stained red with blood." Viscount Gould looked up at the gray sky and muttered to himself.
It is inevitable that the sky of Huayu Plateau will be stained red with blood.
But after all, it was the revolutionary party that was not looked down upon by those local nobles at all, and was not treated as a human being.
It's still these high-ranking local nobles.
Then let's not talk about it.
Because there is still a leader of the Yongye army in the northeast, watching over him.
The ruling class of the Brian family headed by Grand Duke Christine disappointed Viscount Gould.
Even if the Yong Ye army leader has created so many brilliance and brought such obvious changes to the world, I have already instilled them in them for nearly ten years.
They still looked at this new force with ordinary eyes, showing contempt from top to bottom.
This is the unique contempt that the old aristocratic families have for those nouveau riche.
Think that the series of achievements created by the other party are just luck, and when they come to them, this kind of luck will come to an end.
In the face of such unprecedented changes, what should I do?
To be buried with the Bryan family, which exudes a decadent atmosphere in their bones?
Or take the opportunity to embark on a new path?
If it's the former, I don't need to do anything, I just need to watch quietly.
If it's the latter, I need a good plan.
You must know that there are many places in the Yongye army, which are fundamentally different from the Bryan family. If you are not careful, you will be included in the list of the big purge because of your current identity, and you may die inexplicably. .
Viscount Copperfield Gould, who was thinking about his future in the rain, unconsciously walked faster and faster, just like his thoughts were circulating, perhaps he had already made a new decision.
Behind Viscount Gould, there were two pairs of vulture-like eyes, staring at his receding figure.
The owner of these two pairs of eyes is none other than the Minister of Intelligence and Minister of Military Affairs of the Bryan Family who had rushed past them in the castle palace just now.
"This guy's hands are getting longer and longer. I really don't understand why His Majesty would use a guy who has no roots, and give him such a heavy trust, entrusting the most profitable industry of the entire family to him." Nick In Earl Les' words, there was not only strong dissatisfaction with Viscount Gould, but also resentment towards Grand Duke Christine.
"Old man, if you say this out of your mouth, it will lower your level of governance. Our majesty, what we like is that this guy has no roots. If your majesty handed over those oily industries to you In my hands, do you think he can sleep peacefully without worrying all day about how much oil we stole from him?" Calvin sneered.
"That's the truth. Having no root means you have to be cowardly, and you must firmly rely on His Majesty's side. Even if you become more courageous and steal money from it, Your Majesty will not hesitate to raise the butcher's knife against it." " Earl Nicholas is also an old politician, and he understands everything, "The outside world says that our Majesty is an unprofessional fool, and we are all blinded by his disguised appearance."
"This kind of handwriting is not necessarily from the hands of His Majesty, but the old man behind him is coming up with ideas." Calvin smiled even wider, and said with indescribable malice, "It's useless and useless, of course it's what you said There are all kinds of advantages, but there is also one biggest disadvantage, that is, in terms of loyalty, it is far inferior to those of us who have a great family and career, especially in this precarious time... people's hearts are unpredictable!"
"You have something to say, what kind of idea are you playing around? Tell me quickly." Earl Nicholas and Earl Calvin are old rivals. Before Viscount Gould came out, they had already fought twice. Ten years.
With the common opponent of Viscount Gould, the relationship between the two has eased, and sometimes they even join forces.
There is no permanent hatred between them, only permanent interests.
As long as the benefits are in place, it's not difficult to smile away the grudges, and vice versa.
"Don't you think this is the best chance for us to eradicate him?" Earl Calvin slightly raised his lips, bewitching in a low voice, "Your Excellency the Earl is not interested at all in the arsenal and trade routes he controls?"
"Even if I'm interested, His Majesty doesn't want to see it, right? The person behind His Majesty won't agree either!" Count Nicholas was still worried about Grand Duke Christine's reaction.
Although Grand Duke Christine himself is rotten, the Bryan family behind him has not completely rotted. Behind him is a great scholar who taught him since he was a child.
Veteran aristocrats like Calvin and Earl Nicholas know that many of the core policies of Huayu Plateau are from him.
Because of his existence, Grand Duke Christine has lived a life of extravagance and drunkenness since he was a child, but the Bryan family has never been encroached by other noble families and replaced them.
Some people who knew the inside story couldn't help but maliciously speculate whether the person behind Grand Duke Christine deliberately indulged Grand Duke Christine and made him take a detour in order to gain the opportunity to control power behind the scenes.
"Hey, do you really think that the one behind His Majesty is considered exhaustive? If he was really so powerful, he would not have been kicked out of the Warlock Alliance, but would have become the controller of the Warlock Alliance. He is a typical Not enough, but more than enough. When I heard that the leader of the Yongye Army was going to dig the Warlock Alliance from the plateau, he probably didn't go crazy. Not only did he not stop it, but he provided convenience.
what's the result?
The Alliance of Warlocks left the impoverished high mountains and went to the Yongye army leader, it was like a fish returning to the sea.
It was a conference of scholars, and the establishment of a college of higher learning. In just a dozen years, countless scholars have been taught, and the title of a scholar is almost rotten.
That old guy's energy has obviously been exhausted in recent years, especially this time, don't you think his reaction is very slow?
I suspect the old guy will be in his grave before long.
We can use Viscount Gould as a test to see how the old guy reacts, and it won't be too late for us to make plans for the next step. "
Earl Calvin is very aware of the temperament of his old opponent. If he doesn't throw out some weighty and tempting things, he will definitely not bite the bait easily.
