Chapter 810: , The ice kingdom of crisis

Five days before the Thanksgiving Festival, Kislov, Bokha Palace, Kislov National Duma.

Representative of the nobleman of Kislov Boye, the Grand Marshal of Kislov Dimitri Zayev.

Keslov Marshal Konev, Kislov Wing Cavalry Marshal, Head of the Griffon Regiment Romanov, Kislov Bear Cavalry Marshal Rokosovsky, Kislov Northern Front Commander Zaka- Fedosov.

Kislov's chief court minister Petrov and Kislov's Chancellor of the Exchequer Demirov were present.

The military leaders and landowners of Kislov gathered together to discuss the difficulties the kingdom is facing recently.

What is quite interesting for Kislov is that this is a very, very empty country, with sparse settlements separated by vast ice fields and large tracts of land, even in the country, except for the three cities of Kislov In addition to Ellengrad and Prager, other settlement news is intermittent and direct rule is difficult to achieve, so each settlement has become highly independent, and a Boye noble completely controls the military and political power. There is no doubt that everyone recognizes the authority of the female tsar, but if Her Majesty Kataline really crosses the State Duma and imposes a mandatory order on them, these Boye nobles will be very surprised and show a face "You are teasing me "Expression.

The truth is that, in theory, the noble Boye must be appointed by the female tsar, but in fact this is a hereditary title,

Therefore, Kislov's army is mainly composed of three forces, namely the urban army that directly loyal to the tsar, the local army controlled by the Boye nobles, and the imperial garrison supported by the imperial leaders.

In this situation, the Boyes in various places were highly independent and eventually formed the National Duma.

Now, in the Bocaha Palace meeting room, which is luxuriously decorated and covered with all kinds of bearskin tapestries and ice sculptures, engraved with brightly colored murals and multicolored ceilings, everyone in the National Duma is discussing what to do next .

"The supply of the frontline troops in the north, the relief of the refugees, and the supply of the army in the southern Jakowa fortress have all been arranged. We try to keep the distribution of 70% -80%. As for the military's payment, we give priority to the bear cavalry. Most of the rates paid by the Griffon Corps and Klimt can be distributed. As for the rates of the Quessar Corps, the Shooting Army and the City Defense Battalion, we will reluctantly deal with it first, and wait for the holiday to pass before making plans. " Field Marshal Dimitri Zayev nodded, and he said slowly to the crowd: "Priority guarantees the combat effectiveness of the frontline troops."

"What? The cost of repairing the Ostrowsk fortress, and the cost of rebuilding the Slughof fortress to the north, are not spared?" Marshal Zaka Fedosov, the representative of the Northern Front, said dissatisfiedly: "Then discuss After a long time, does it not mean that everything is in vain, if we can not guarantee the repair of the two fortresses in the north, how can we ensure that the trade route with Dulong City is smooth ?! "

"Then what do you mean?" Marshal Kislov, the commander of the Keslov Central Army, Konev, spoke. This is a soldier with a strong look and a big bald head. He is wearing a new brand. Marshal's military uniform, tasting vodka, his eyes are very sharp, looking directly at Marshal Fedosov: "What do you want to do? Fedosov, let's just say that I'm not interested in playing a puzzle with you."

"What I want to say is that you have allocated too little military funds and supplies to the northern front army!" Marshal Fedosov said loudly: "Many frontline soldiers are short of food and clothing, and they are sick and have no medicine! This is fine, I understand the difficulty of the kingdom now, but what about the fortress? Since the end of the winter war more than two years ago, the two fortresses laid their bases, but they have not been able to complete the construction. The soldiers hid in the semi-open fortress If you do n’t allocate enough money to raise manpower, we will not be able to repair these two fortresses next year! "

"This time the Noska expedition, the treasury has received nearly 120,000 Ducat (Kisluff gold coins) for the input. As a result, you only gave us 40,000. This is too little, and we have to pay the military pay again. It is necessary to ensure the supply and repair the fortress. In the harsh environment of the cold and cold, repairing the fortress is very expensive. You want the horse to run and the horse not to eat grass! "

"I said, what the **** do you think?" Marshal Konev repeated: "I don't want to hear your complaint, I want you to come up with a solution!"

"At least 40,000 Ducat will be allocated to us." Marshal Fedosov emphasized: "I know that after a trade agreement with the Dwarves of Dulong City, tariffs and mineral taxes have formed new inputs, which is also a sum of money Not a small income, we ensure that the business road is smooth, then why can't we extract a part of the tariffs and mining taxes as our military expenses? "

"Trade tariffs and mining taxes are directly called by His Majesty's tax officer and sent into the Ice Palace, and it has nothing to do with us." The representative of the Boye nobleman, Marshal Dimitri Shen Sheng said: " His Majesty Taryn is going to carry out a very important ice magic experiment, which urgently needs money. As for our application ... "

"Your Majesty disagrees, the Treasury of the Ice Palace has been rescued many times, and you also know this." Tsar Chancellor Demirov said slowly: "Neiku can't only have items, no items. what."

"Very good." Marshal Dimitri nodded helplessly. He turned to the Marshal Bear Cavalry and asked, "Constan Dante, what can you do?"

"I don't know." Marshal Rokosovsky's attention was clearly not focused on the meeting, he just said casually: "Perhaps, we can re-audit and see which piece of expenditure can be re-cost-effective? Save a little Is it a bit? "

"How to audit? How cost-effective !!!" Marshal Konev smashed the cup in his hand **** the ground, he blushed and shouted: "The money is this, 1204,566 pieces Ducat! How to make it more cost-effective, let the northern frontier army go hungry to fight against the barbarians? Or are the refugees out of relief? Or simply do n’t pay the money ?! "

The cup fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. The crisp sound was clearly heard in the meeting room.

"As Commander-in-Chief of Kislov and Commander of the Central Army of Kislov, I know best that the soldiers of the Quessar Corps and the Shooting Army, the soldiers of the city defense battalion, many are already in bakeries and merchants, and even shrines. It owed several months of debts! Many soldiers came to my house to ask for help, what can I do! "Marshal Konev shouted:" I don't know, there is no money in the treasury, and we continue to fight barbarians in the north. , And the Garkova fortress in the south is also facing a full invasion of the green skin Chimu tribe! "

"Let's go on like this. Soon after, the millennium celebration of the founding of Kislov will be the day of our country's death!" Marshal Konev's loud voice echoed in the conference hall, and he didn't care about it.

"Marshal Romanov." At this time, an attendant rushed into the conference hall, and he shouted anxiously: "There is something urgent."

"What's the matter?" Marshal Wing Cavalry raised his head, and the attendant whispered in his ear: "No, the Quessars and the Shooting Army, because they have too little pay, and the army is mutinous, they wrestle with the guards! An General Derek committed suicide with a musket, which calmed the grievances, but the officers gathered together and headed towards the palace, we must give an account! "

"What ?!" The whole meeting room shook.

"Konev, you hurry to stop them. You are the commander of the Central Army, the commander of the city defense of Kislov. You have enough prestige to calm the grievances." Grand Marshal Dimitri immediately set his sights on Konev.

"Humph! I remembered me at this time? Late!" Konev said impatiently and helplessly: "What do you want me to do?"

"You should explain the truth and the law to them!" Dimitri persuaded: "You always have high prestige in the army, the soldiers will understand."

"Only on-site cooking of beetroot soup and pan-fried crepes, how can there be reason and law on-site?" Konev spread his hands: "Give me a deadline, when will the payment problem be resolved?"

"This……"

………… I am the dividing line between beet soup and mincemeat …………

Not far from the armory, General Ugoel Beria and his deputy Xie Leiping looked at the scene of the armory in a complex and complex manner.

The mutiny subsided temporarily, temporarily.

At the time when the scene was the most chaotic, General Andre, who was in charge of logistics, suddenly stood up. He stood on the table and shouted with his loudest voice: "It's me who didn't do well, your debts, I'm powerless, it's me Incompetent, sorry for Your Majesty Catalina, and sorry for you, I declare that I am responsible for this! "

Finally, General Andre suddenly took out a short shot and pointed his muzzle at his chin.

A gunshot awakened the mutinous soldiers who were fighting and the armory soldiers and Krem guards who were suppressing. Seeing that General Andre died for this reason, the Kesa soldiers and the shooting army were really not a taste, they finally gave up Siege armory.

Then, the officers turned to prepare for the Bokaha Palace. The Kesa warriors did not believe that they could not pay. Many General Kislov and the Boye nobles participated in the Noska expedition, and they pulled back The spoils of war are filled with boats and carts, once filled the streets! If they have money, go find them!

Thousands of soldiers selected dozens of officers to go to the Bocaha Palace to settle the rates, and the rest were first queued up to lead the emergency rates and return to the barracks to wait for the news.

And deep in an alley of the street, Beria led more than twenty heavily armed Ukol bow cavalry. Looking at the scene in front of him, his expression was a little complicated, but he still resisted no attack: " It seems that the problem is much more serious than I thought. "

"We are owed, and the streets are full of hungry refugees." Deputy General Xie Leiping also said indignantly: "I just asked, General, ten kilograms of Leba, two large bags of potatoes, a piece of butter and fifteen tenga ( Kislev silver coins), that is the treatment of company commanders and battalion commanders! Ordinary Kesa warriors and shooting troops, only five kilograms of large Leba, two large bags of potatoes and nine tenga (Kislev silver coins). "

Only nine! Beria remained calm, he moved his heart, and then asked: "What about the market price? Did you investigate?"

"There is an emergency, and I haven't had time to investigate the market price." Xie Leiping shook his head again and again: "But I asked a few passers-by, general, you guessed, how much does an ordinary roast chicken sell on the black market in Kislov? "

"How much?" Beria was not interested in playing a guessing game, and General Ugor was obviously planning something.

"Three silver coins! God, three silver coins!" Xie Leiping said quickly: "I can't believe that only twenty-five to twenty-eight are sold in one of the best roasted steers in Brittany. Copper coins, my favorite is half a roast chicken with a bottle of vodka after patrol, and here, the price has more than ten times! "

"Go, let's keep up." Belia did not answer Shelepin's words, General Ugoel immediately turned his horse, and led more than twenty bow cavalrymen to follow immediately, until he got on the horse, he slowly said: "Hall Jinna, do you know her? "

"When ... Of course, General, your new maid." Xie Leiping didn't understand the meaning of Beria, and he also accepted a young and beautiful girl as his maid.

Did the general change his mind?

"She is the daughter of Little Boye! Outside the city has the daughter of Little Boyer who has a wooden fence and a wooden gate village territory!" Beria said sharply: "Little Boyer! The lord of the village of three hundred people! She has drank three It ’s been months of porridge! Do you know what this means? Boyer has started drinking porridge. What about the citizens? The farmers? And the refugees ?! "

Xie Lieping understood that the lieutenant suddenly felt cold all over his body: "Why did this happen?"

"So I said before, our female tsar may be an excellent wizard, but it is by no means an excellent king and commander of the three armed forces. Since she took the throne, the kingdom has been messed up, and she has rarely led the way. Anything is to appoint a general or send a superintendent, and never visits the people like His Majesty Ryan, she only has her research in her mind, her research, her research! "Belia has yet to say, Xie Leiping immediately low The voice said: "Shen Yan, General, don't forget, you used to be a member of the House Committee. You should know that the city is full of secret policemen in Cheka."

"This is a very bad sign. We all know that if for a country, the civil class and the small lords and the nobles have begun to fall completely, then the entire kingdom is already facing many crises." Beria ignored In the case of Shelepin, General Ugoel knew that if he was still an officer in Kislov, he would have “disappeared” long ago, but he was punished by him as the special envoy of Knight King Ryan, and those of Cheka, who dared not treat him Kind of.

In this world, after all, it is still about strength.

In fact, both Beria and Sherepin knew, why recently Kislov's food shortage caused the price to skyrocket?

There are only two main reasons. One is that the battle ahead is unstoppable, and a large amount of food is collected for a long time. The second is that the empire has recently been infighted, which has greatly reduced the amount of empire ’s food aid to Kislov, but two people Did not say it, because it is not necessary.

Talking, when the Bocaha Palace arrived, Beria signaled everyone to stop and they stayed in the distance to observe.

Marshal Alexei Alexey looked at the large group of middle and low-level officers who appeared in front of the palace, his face flushed with rage: "What are you trying to do? After damaging the armory, do you still want to come to the palace to plunder your military pay? "Soldiers, take up weapons!"

"Wait! We are not here to be robbers, we are all Mrs. Kessler! We want to come to see His Majesty Katalin today!" The Axa warrior, led by Quesad, shouted loudly: "The State Duma What are the people doing? The military pay owed to us! One household in our family, which has not been owed for more than half a year, many of us have already nibbled at the big Leba for five months, and even sold children and girls! I asked, when will you be able to pay our debts! "

"Don't we let General Andre send you a debt?" Marshal Konev drove from behind with several marshals. This powerful figure, with a big bald head, was quite prestigious in the army. The Marshal of the hurriedly stopped at the gate of the palace: "It may be a little less, but this is no way. This is my responsibility. I apologize. The previous things are not to blame. Please go back and have a good time. Let ’s think about it again. The solution, okay? My Konev promised in the name of the bear **** Ersun, I did not receive any salary this year! "

Marshal Konev was the commander of the guards of the city of Kislov and the commander of the Central Army. He had a high prestige in the army, but today he was miscalculated.

"You? Do you count on that salary for the holidays?" An Quessar officer immediately came out and said, "Many of you have participated in the Nosca expedition. Many of us saw it with your own eyes. You plundered from Nosca." A lot of wealth, all kinds of armor, fur, paintings, velvet, gold and silk looted by the barbarians! Those iron and copper ores, all kinds of livestock, and even many high-end goodies of high elves, one car per car It was transported to your mansion by car and there was no trace. It was all yours, the victory of the war was yours, the casualties were ours, the seizures were yours, the disability was ours. Now! "

"Yes! His Majesty Katalina gave Kislov to your country Duma, but what are you all doing ?! Hand over the money! Send out the military pay that belongs to us!"

"Go! You hungry jackals ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ spit out the rates!"

"National Duma, cannibal jackal, we must let His Majesty Catalina know your true face!"

The officers said so that Marshal Konev was speechless, and he was very conscientious about the distribution of loot, because he did not take anything.

But he could not swear to Esun that no one took it. In fact, many noblemen, generals, and Boyers who participated in the Nosca Expedition did collect a lot of loot frantically and continually transported them back to their country At home, they not only embezzled countless gold and silver treasures for their own possession, but also refused to surrender even a little according to Kislov's "honorable tradition".

Konev sharply accused a colleague, he alone transported the wealth of more than twenty carriages from Noska, and his home is almost becoming the "Noska Museum"!

Do n’t look at the National Duma, everyone was so arguing, but in fact they all made a fortune! It's just that these windfalls won't fall on the treasury or the soldiers a little bit, it's all theirs.

Seeing that the marshal could not answer, the scene gradually became chaotic. The excited officers tried to break through the defense line, while the Klim guards raised their weapons and aimed at their robes, brothers, and robes.

Before the palace, the smell of gunpowder was full, and it seemed that another mutiny was about to happen.

Beria was standing in the distance riding a horse, he saw this scene, sneer.

You must be watching somewhere in the palace, right? My majesty the tsar?

Also, Konev's set is obviously not working, Yezhov, it's your turn.
