Warhammer Throne
Vol 5 Chapter 1232: , "On the King"
Latest website: Katalin’s manor is located in a relatively remote place outside Marienburg, about 15 kilometers away from Marienburg. It is not particularly safe, but the threat to Katalin is actually very small. As a strong man in the sanctuary, is she afraid that the wild orcs and marsh monsters wandering in the wild will fail? Or those green skins from Jinte Mine?
After the failed attempt to regain Kieslov, Katalin brought her last followers to Marienburg. She declined the invitations of Rick, Midden and Auster. The female czar was quite a bit. Disheartened, after successive failures, she gradually began to understand that with her military talent, perhaps it was a luxury to recover Kislov.
Schultz paid her a high salary, and she became one of Marienburg’s guardians and guest wizards. After repeated abolition and careful selection of the Romanov Guards, three hundred people remained. All the rest was disbanded, and the original huge court was also reduced successively. In the end, there were only forty or fifty people left, and the Ice Witch Club, which was not as strong as before. These five hundred people stayed as gifts by Schultz. Within the large manor.
This stay is 7 years, from 2516 in the imperial calendar to the winter of 2523 in the imperial calendar.
At the beginning, Katalyn also had great expectations for the old world countries. She thought that Kieslov had done everything to protect the old world. Now millions of Mrs. Kiesler have been displaced, relying on the generals and the ice witch. The **** battle between Boyer and Kiesloff fighters, the disaster of Mortkin’s invasion was greatly delayed. Without Mrs. Kiesler, the empire would not have time to form a defense line, and the entire north of the empire would fall into the cloud of chaos. Below, the tragedy of the great jihad will be staged again.
Therefore, in the face of Mrs. Kiesler's sacrifice, the old world countries should of course appreciate, provide support and help, and assist Kiesler in the restoration of the country, or at least say a heroic immortality, right?
However, although both the empire and Brittany recognized Kislev’s tenacity, there was really no aid. The empire’s efforts were not enough. Emperor Karl-Franz and Lady Emmanuel gave several funds. After that, there was no sound. Bretania simply became even better. They established the Northern Army, supported the Grand Duke Olengrad, and recruited Kislev’s last field army-Rokosovsky. The Winged Cavalry Corps.
The female czar seems to be forgotten.
To make matters worse, in reality, the escaped Mrs. Keesler was not welcomed as she imagined and had a miserable life.
After entering the empire, these refugees occupied and replaced a large number of the low-end labor market. Under the influence, not only did Mrs. Keesler live miserably, but even the living environment of the natives of the empire was deteriorated, and foreigners robbed them. In the rice bowl situation, the contradiction between the two sides escalated in an instant, and soon there appeared hostility, hatred and **** conflict, and the contradiction intensified, until it developed into universal discrimination and hatred.
If these were just rumours for Katalin, then the living conditions of the demobilized Kislov soldiers and veterans were directly exposed to the female czar.
She saw with her own eyes a former company captain, about thirty years old, who came to Marienburg's talent market to find a job. The sweet and lovely female front desk asked: "What will you do?"
"I can command a company, a phalanx, or if necessary, I can also go into battle myself, as a mercenary, as a escort, or anything else."
"It's a pity that we have too many people like this." The female receptionist opened a scroll, and the long name on it hung directly on the ground with the parchment paper and rolled out more than one meter long: "You don't have the equipment, we Regardless, even if you have a full set of equipment, there are 6,324 people in line before you. Do you have a horse? If you are a knight with a horse, we can arrange work for you now."
"I don't have a horse." The veteran said dully, "I don't have any equipment either."
"Then besides military and martial arts, do you have any other skills?"
"I can go to the dock to be a worker, to work in a workshop, to deliver goods on the street, and to..."
"Then the daily salary is only 2 copper coins, and it is open all year round except for the Mannán Holy Day and Sunday, can it be done?"
"……can."
Two copper coins! Even the cheapest and most trash restaurant eating brown bread, hard beans, and rotten cabbage costs two copper coins a day!
Catalyn couldn't help intervening, and the veteran told her the cold truth.
"The money is gone. We need to live. I have sold my jewellery, my cart, my armor, my fur coat, my saber, my bearskin hat, and my medal. Everything about me, my majesty, now my child is hungry on the damp floor of the basement, but I have nothing to sell."
At that moment, Catalyn finally realized that the strongest and most tenacious country in the old world had been turned into ruins, and this was only the beginning of all suffering, and that all these tragedies were caused except for the **** chaos. The most responsible person.
"Your Majesty the Tsar? My Tsar, are you listening?" Beria's voice came from far to near.
Looking at the shining Erson Medal on Beria's chest, Katalyn shook her head vigorously, barely regaining her senses.
This is not Bokaha Palace, nor her ice palace. Now a reception room of less than 50 square meters is where she usually meets guests. The treasures and wealth accumulated by the Romanov royal family over the past thousand years are still somewhat, but the distance The magnificence of Bocaha Palace is far away. Catalyn sneered. She was noncommittal about Beria's "Reconstruction Plan": "Well, I know what you said."
Beria was a little disappointed. The Urgols looked up cautiously and found that Katharine was not very angry, and he was a little relieved. As the descendants of the Romanov royal bloodline and the Miska Hanbing bloodline, Although Catalyn’s appearance is not comparable to Queen Suria, she is still a beautiful woman. The female czar sitting on her throne wears a winter high-neck striped sweater, an ice crown on her head, and a Bokaha cloak. A long cyan dress and a pair of brown leather boots, she looks like an lonely and arrogant ice beauty.
Even though she is not a female czar now, she is still a high-level ice wizard in the sanctuary! Beria warned herself.
"Beria." Catalyn leaned back in the chair, and the female czar motioned for everyone to go out. She sighed: "Beria?"
"The foreign minister is here." Beria quickly straightened his posture.
"Beria, you said, I have inherited my father's throne for so many years, so many mistakes, how can no one dare to admonish?" Catalyn pursed her mouth, and the czar let out a sigh and closed her eyes. She laughed bitterly to herself: "The team that my father left for me has been dismantled by me. Felix, Lev and the others, why don't they be more determined?"
"To rule this icy and snowy country in Kislov, it is already difficult. The all-powerful prince, the invasion of chaos is beyond human resistance. Your Majesty does not have to blame himself too much." Beria put his hands on his knees. On the above, the Urgols considered their own tone: "As for the ministers and generals, they have also done their duties. Dimitri, Fedosov and Konev have all battled and died in the country. Constantine also did his best, and the soldiers who died in the battle have done their best. Please don't blame yourself, Your Majesty."
Beria really didn't understand what Katalyn asked about suddenly.
This question is very difficult to answer, and Beria immediately decided to follow Talleyrand's instructions.
"Don't blame me, can you blame the empire and the kingdom of knights?" Katalin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's me, it's me. After I succeeded, the ministers and generals always teach me how to do things, but I am the most I hate others commanding me. I am the blood of Queen Miska. I am born with all ice magic, and I am born as the leader of the ice witches, so I don’t like being instructed by others. I replace them and then replace them until they are replaced. To become obedient, I did something wrong. Over the years, how many people have I wronged, how many loyal ministers and good generals I have killed? Beria, you are also a party involved, so many grievances, so many tyranny, how did you get here? ?"
"Bokaha came from Kurgan. We have bathed in the grace of the Romanov royal family for generations. To treat your Majesty, we have only respect and sincerity. We can only think about it." Beria paused for a while, revealing a little bit. Aggrieved expression: "If your Majesty really can't tolerate us, we have no intention of confronting your Majesty. It's nothing more than... leaving our hometown and going to another place to ask for a living."
"Oh, Lav Lianji, I have heard too much of these words after taking the throne." Katalyn shook her head slightly, and the Tsar's face showed a very bored expression: "It's very good, it's useless. I heard it before. I will be very happy if you say this, because I think I did nothing wrong, but this is not possible now, not at all, Beria, do you think this can fool the problem?"
Beria's face changed slightly, but the Urgols were not going to lose their stance. He thought that after so many experiences, the female czar finally changed.
Indeed, it's time for some dry goods.
"Your Majesty said so, the foreign minister had no choice but to tell the truth."
"Say~Say, it doesn't matter how bad it is, I forgive you." Katalin nodded repeatedly.
"Kislov was founded around 1500 in the empire calendar and has a history of a thousand years. Under the leadership of Queen Miska, we settled in a place that is actually not suitable for human habitation. The Queen defeated the Ugol people. They merged in and formed the Kislov nation and country ever since.” Beria said slowly: “The whole kingdom is like a pair of brothers. Three cities, hundreds of boys, are surrounded by darkness. Between the wolves and the wolves, every step of Kislov is full of hardships and sufferings, but we have proved that we are the most tenacious nation in the old world, and we are a family, which will flourish here."
"Yeah." Katalyn nodded.
"The millions of creatures living in the ice and snow are like children in the family, and the Tsar is like the grandfather and grandmother in the family. As for us generals, Boyers, and ministers, they are like the daughters-in-law of the family. Do as much as possible. You must listen to your grandfather and grandmother and take care of your children. This is a hard job. If there is no other way, you can only consider the requirements of your grandfather and grandmother and sacrifice your children temporarily." Slowly said: "The people who stayed, generally think so, and do so."
"Yeah, yeah, because the children are wronged, it is good to say that if the grandfather and grandmother are not satisfied, they can change the daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law does not want to be replaced, so she can only do her best to meet the requirements of the grandmother." Catalin pressed her mouth, the czar's. Her eyes moistened, and she remembered everything she had done since she came to the throne, those ministers who tried to persuade her, those marshals and generals who died in battle, the Krim guards and ice witches who sacrificed to cover her escape, one sheet. Zhang Xian's face flashed before her eyes, but it was frozen.
"Yes, it's me, it's all me. I didn't take care of my country. I didn't become this grandmother." Tears had blurred Katalyn's vision, and her slender fingers wrapped in white lace gloves clenched the seat. Then she opened her handle lightly. The tone that had always been stern and full of commands finally softened. She raised her hand, and a thick nasal sound followed the trembling voice: "But... but now I understand, what's the use? The country is gone. Those great names and soldiers are either dead or scattered. I am really not suitable for being a czar. I am an excellent ice witch, but I am just an ice witch."
With tears streaming down her icy face, Katalyn finally cried. The czar bit her teeth hard, and she inhaled hard: "Beria, I know I made a lot of mistakes, many, but... But sometimes I do. I don't understand, can you tell me what I did wrong?"
"Since your Majesty has asked, let me talk a little bit." Beria sighed again.
Katalyn finally woke up, but it was a little late.
"Your Majesty, as everyone knows, Kislov is actually not a very suitable territory for human life. It is too cold and remote, and it is always facing threats from the north." Beria said slowly: "Especially During the great jihad, Kislov was completely defeated once. Although the kingdom was rebuilt after the victory of the great jihad, it was immediately followed by the terrible reign of the **** queen Katarina who continued for decades. Let’s divide it into categories. After Katerina’s **** reign is over, what are the dilemmas that Kislov will face."
Beria explained his views and counts, and he subdivided the dilemma into seven.
One, the threat of chaos, two, the army is rotten, three, financial exhaustion, four, the nobles are corrupt and infighting, five, the ice witch encroachs on national interests, six, Kislov's land is barren and the environment is harsh, and seven, the bottom civilians are overwhelmed.
"First of all, the most important thing is the threat of chaos. As the only way for chaos to go south, as long as you can't stop chaos, everything will stop." Beria first said: "Only by holding the territory, we can survive. may."
"Since you want to defend your territory, you must have a strong army. Kislov actually has no shortage of brave soldiers and excellent generals, but the army has no weapons and armor, no city walls, no logistical weapons, no wages, and no food. , What's the fighting power?"
"So if you want to have a strong enough army, you must have money."
"But the kingdom’s finances have dried up. This is the problem of three, four and five. The first is the corruption of the nobles. In addition, Kislev’s basic national policy is Boye autonomy. We cannot collect taxes from the nobles, and the other is the ice witch. Yes, your majesty, you must be very clear about how far the ice witches have moved the country's finances and resources." Beria said solemnly.
"...Yes." Katalyn nodded painfully.
"But maintaining the army, the Boyer aristocracy and the ice witches are the foundation of the country. This is untouchable, but the finances have dried up, so I can only increase taxes on the civilians." Beria shook his head: "Although add Most of the taxes cannot enter the treasury, but this is the only way. Then it is the sixth and seventh problem. The poor land is inherently low in productivity, and the tax increase is too high, and the tax burden is too heavy. The kingdom can't support it at all. There is only a vicious circle, Your Majesty."
Katalyn understood that this is a hardly solved problem.
Will you do something against the Ice Witch Sisters? No czar would be too stupid to do this! Furthermore, if there is no Ice Witch, who will deal with the Chaos Wizard?
What about the Boyer system? Wouldn't it be tantamount to directly challenging the chivalry system in Bretania?
From the State Duma to the country huts, up and down, and in every aspect, the Boyers control money and funds, rising channels, land resources, food crops, and even church public opinion! The Bloody Queen Katerina was successfully overthrown by these people!
Your Majesty, do you want to rebel again?
"So, your Majesty, sometimes you really can't be blamed for things." Beria shook his head: "Although your ability is not as good as the Red Tsar Boris, you are by no means an incompetent monarch in Kislov's history. , It’s just bad luck, you happened to encounter Motkin’s invasion."
Yes, I just didn't have good luck, coupled with my ability is not good enough, Katalyn finally stopped her tears, she heartily agreed with Beria's views.
"But your Majesty, I know that you have made a lot of mistakes and are not suitable for ruling Kislev. But apart from you, besides the royal blood of Romanov and Queen Miska, who can dominate Kisler? Husband? You can't, and others are even more impossible!" Beria suddenly said sharply: "If you give up, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, everything is really over!"
"But, what should I do?" Katalin has been said to be a godless.
"The Bokaha family has made outstanding contributions to Kislov over the centuries. Mrs. Kisler will be remembered. Don’t ruin this great family just because of your weakness!” Beria immediately Strike while the iron is hot, he said earnestly: "You just need to do what I said. Haven't you seen the power and power of the Sun King? This is the only chance, Your Majesty!"
"But... But, my noble Bokaha royal blood, as the last blood and heir of Romanov..." Katalin was still entangled.
"Your Majesty! If you are unwilling to save Kislev and the Roman royal family, who else will come?" Beria was angry: "Can those insects govern the country well????!!!"
There was silence in the house.
Finally, Katalin's hesitating voice sounded.
"Then just as you said... Try it."
