Of course, Jiang Tian can also imagine a scene of infighting in the court from Feius' usual few words.For example, although the Prince Aurelian is an important minister and pillar of the Western Empire's royal family, it is not so pleasant for the young Caesar.

However, Prince Aurelian especially valued and loved his eldest son, but he had nothing to do with Feius, who was dissolute and idle by nature.Originally, things continued like this, but this time Feius came to the coalition army to be appointed as the royal envoy.

But it was full of unusual meanings, or it could be said that Prince Aurelian, who held great power in his hands, smelled some dangerous signs; and sent his only adult heir to the army of northern Italian princes who belonged to his faction; It's also just in case.

But I didn't expect that with the successive destruction of the two major corps of the Lombard Army; Feus also fell into the hands of the Free Army by accident.Now, since the negotiating envoy of the Western Empire is an eunuch from the court, it also means that the Prince Aurelian may have encountered something unexpected.

However, as a pillar of the royal family and a powerful minister of the imperial court for a long time, the corresponding party members and remaining influence will not be eliminated in a short time; Si became the biggest hidden danger.

Originally, according to Jiang Tian's asking price, no matter who came from the empire, as long as they paid a ransom of 72 ecu (ancient silver coin) or 1 solids ([-]/[-] pound gold coin), it would be fine to hand it over life or death. .But the other party actually wants to deceive people with empty words and white teeth, which is intolerable.

In contrast, Feius took the initiative to express his allegiance to himself in public, which was unexpected; Jiang Tian's original plan was to keep him as a spare move in case of a future, or as a future A political bargaining chip for deals; such as nauseating the Lower West Empire from time to time.

But I didn't expect him to be so knowledgeable and active; so Jiang Tian really couldn't raise him like a pig, but really found him something suitable for the chief consultant.Therefore, Jiang Tian quickly issued a letter of appointment, making him a professor at the comprehensive school that was being established.

And this comprehensive school that is being prepared is also where all kinds of people with different political opinions gather under the banner of the Freedom Army.In fact, apart from those recruitments and examinations; the Freedom Army also has a potential source of supplementary manpower, which is the prison cleanup after the occupation of each city.

Some felons such as homicide and arson who have been detained for too long, of course, will be dealt with severely and severely according to needs after retrial and self-defense.Economic offenders such as fraud and smuggling continue to serve their sentences; some petty thefts that are forced by life may be pardoned as appropriate.

But there are still some pure debt criminals, political criminals, who will be actively absorbed by the free army.The former is a potential source of soldiers who are bitter and bitter, and it is easy to feel gratitude and a sense of belonging to the Free Army; while the latter is a group of officials and intellectuals that represent the characteristics of this era.

No, if there is not enough knowledge base to form a corresponding political identity; and to form a corresponding social influence, there is no qualification to become a so-called political prisoner specially detained by the Kingdom.Therefore, the released political prisoners have various factions and positions.

There are both the classical constitutionalists who initially preserved/emptied the royal family; and the first government/Charter who later abolished the existence of the royal family.There are members of the free commune from the radical liberals; there are also the longest-standing republicans, who hold the approval and support of the National Convention.

Therefore, in terms of identity, it also includes the members of the so-called enlightened/innovative lower-class aristocrats, soldiers and officials in the Kingdom government system who hope to change, teachers in Kingdom schools, reporters and editors of original newspapers; even a small group of traditional church members. poking activists...

It’s just that during the previous kingdom turmoil, supporters of political factions in these places have also been indiscriminately arrested and persecuted by the royalists/royalists/old nobles who are rampant in the south; in their eyes, they are undoubtedly shaking the foundation of the kingdom The root of the rebellious officials and thieves and the scourge.

Some of them lost their lives as a result, others were tortured and tortured more or less, and still others were innocently accused and framed.Therefore, in the face of the free army who defeated and suppressed the old aristocracy/royal party; there is also some kind of gratitude and recognition.

Therefore, the Freedom Army did not just release most people back to society casually, and let them do their own thing or fend for themselves.Instead, on the grounds of subsidizing their livelihood difficulties, they signed a service agreement ranging from five to ten years; provided them with a job as a teacher.

Then, let these groups of different political factions and dissident thoughts, in a specific small circle called a comprehensive school, conduct various collisions and speculations in a gu-like manner; see what kind of wonderful things can be born in the end.Therefore, one more Faius is nothing.

At the same time, on a carriage heading south to Marseilles; Miss Flandre, who was like a delicate doll, was dressed in a black satin dress to set off her blond hair, snow skin and graceful figure. , who was persuading her old white-haired butler with earnestness and earnestness:
"Miss, you are looking for that kingdom traitor again, is he worth your sacrifice and effort?"

"Do you really want to work for this rebel leader and become the plenipotentiary representative of the so-called Port of Marseilles?"

"Could it be that you haven't thought about the position of the master? Are you not afraid of embarrassing the Treville family?"

"Enough!" However, when she heard the last word "shame", Miss Flanders, who was always as quiet as a doll, suddenly shrank her pupils and her chest heaved violently, and suddenly retorted: "Shame, Does brother still have the face to say such words to me?"

"Isn't my elder brother trying to marry that noble and rich cousin, Charlotte, the daughter of the Marquis of Travel, who tricked me into my ancestral property in the south with the excuse of sorting out and selling the property, so that I wouldn't become a Is he in the way and troublesome?"

"It was also he who entrusted me to the care of so-called trustworthy friends; he also sent the most trusted servant to monitor my every move! What happened? They colluded and took away my dowry, and returned I gave it to the Lombards as a gift?"

"At this moment, brother, why don't you feel ashamed! Why don't you feel that your family's name is insulted! It is God's blessing that fortunately, I have encountered salvation, and is willing to help me avenge and take back everything that was taken by others , but will bring shame and humiliation to the family?"

"He even asked you to come, urge and warn me, so what am I in my brother's eyes?" Speaking of this, the tearful Miss Flandre said pitifully: "I just want to live , and has a support; but does elder brother even want to deprive him of this?"

"I am his sister who has been connected with him since he was a child, not a toy in his hands; let alone a bargaining chip in his blueprint, for my good reasons, in exchange for a great future; so Steward Montier, look In terms of taking care of you since childhood, I will not make things difficult for you."

"However, please go back and tell Mr. Charles, ah no, it should be the Marquis of Treville now; tell the Marquis that his former sister, Xiao Fu, was deliberately deceived and exiled to the south, and fell into the The moment it is in the hands of the enemy, it is completely dead;”

"Now, there is only one lady left, Ms. Flandre, who is trying to rebuild her family business and start a new life. ... So, please don't try to send people over. Otherwise, all consequences and costs will be at your own risk. I think the Marquis with a bright future My lord, I don’t want to get involved with traitors so easily!”

Immediately in the next town, the gray-haired old butler was driven out of the carriage, and stood on the side of the road in a daze.Looking at the carriage that was flying away under the escort of a team of cavalry, he also muttered to himself: "Miss, you have finally grown up...Little master, maybe you really did something wrong..."

At the same time, Miss Flandre was pressing her lower abdomen with her hands crossed, as if she was quietly savoring the aftertaste of fullness and gurgling that had been injected.It's a pity that while that adult still kept her purity, he took away another thing from her that he had never thought of.

But as long as she perseveres in her efforts, she will eventually be able to gain the favor and blessing of that lord; as long as she can give birth to a child with ancient blood inheritance, even if she no longer relies on her elder brother or the Treville family, she can re-establish a family. A new home is here.

A few days later, amidst the waving of flags and the sound of drums and trumpets, the resumption ceremony of the Royal Iron Works and the adjacent Navy Foundry is also being held.But an extra episode was artificially added; a group of people who looked fat and disheartened were escorted to the scene.

Then, amidst the yelling and shouting, they were pressed on the base of the expanded factory building, and their heads were beheaded one by one, with blood splashing on the spot.But the technicians, craftsmen, and handymen present burst into cheers like a tide, or showed elated expressions.

Because these people used to be the managers and some foremen of the iron factory; they were also the chief culprits that caused the kingdom's iron factory to suffer long-term losses, and even serious bankruptcy and abandonment.It is precisely because of their long-term malpractice and embezzlement that the artisans fled one after another due to hunger and cold.

In the end, they simply took advantage of the chaos and set fire to the account books and directories, and fled to the countryside with their respective money.Therefore, after being found out by the free army according to the plan, these former moths and tumors have become the first batch of sacrifices used to lay the foundation of the resumed iron factory.

However, Jiang Tian, ​​who presided over the ceremony at the scene, got a piece of news by accident.In the previous battle outside the city of Avignon, some of the inheritance knights who were finally captured had asked to see him and had an important report.
