Chapter 610: Tears of the King
Arad did lose badly, he stayed and waited for Higg, originally to provoke Higg and Catherine, provoke Hig and his father, or win over Higg, or disturb his mind, and plan for his next step, but it's a pity that Higg didn't get on any of them, didn't hold a grudge against Catherine, forgave his father, and Higg didn't get closer to him because his father had a dark background, and his mind was always so firm, because all the questions were to the core of Arad's conspiracy, or rather, the core of the undead conspiracy!
Arad's defeat was even more due to his unwillingness, because instead of disturbing Higg's mind, his own mind was chaotic, and there was a somewhat distrustful estrangement between him and Mordo.
But it doesn't matter anymore, Arad's era has passed, and the crisis of the undead, after all, it's no longer the turn of a walking corpse like Arad to be the protagonist, and even Moldor is not qualified!
Hig picked up Arad's jade seal and strode out of the main hall, outside the main hall, there were many armor soldiers, and quickly surrounded Higg, but no one dared to make a move.
"Is this still necessary?" Xige held the jade seal high and said with a sneer: "I have killed enough people today, your majesty has died, if you want to accompany him, I will give you a ride, if you don't want to, take off your equipment and get out!" ”
Higg said, with a wave of his big hand, all the swords in the hands of all the armor soldiers fell to the ground.
Xige didn't want to kill those armorers to vent his anger, and let them escape, because after all, these armorers still knew that they would stick to the end for their loyalty, and compared to the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, these armorers can also be called soldiers!
Hig strode out of the palace, came to the palace gate, handed the jade seal to Maria, who was waiting outside, and said, "Arad is dead, you can enter the palace!" However, without my consent, you and Christina will not leave my side in the future! ”
Mary was originally overjoyed, but after listening to the second half of Higg's words, she also knew that the situation was serious, so she had to nod, took Higg's arm, pulled Mary, and entered the palace.
Higg knew that he had been targeted by the dark forces, and he himself was not afraid of these dark forces, but the dark forces might attack the people around him, and he had to be on guard, especially here, after all, it was Arad's territory, and he was once the spokesperson platform of the dark forces.
The dark forces are not deliberately pervasive, the collision of yin and yang, when the yang is strong, these dark forces will never penetrate, such as Fuxing City, a bright city, millions of people, the obscure qi has nowhere to hide, even the dark clouds of death will be broken by the sky's popularity, don't worry at all, unless this yin qi is very strong!
Maria and Christina entered the city of Croatia and entered the palace, the main purpose was to temporarily take over this place for Catherine, seal it and deal with everything, because these are all the property of the royal family, including the palace maids and concubines, and only under the witness of the two of them, they can be sealed, Higg doesn't want to make trouble for himself, make trouble for the Fifth Legion, or do it according to the rules, and he is temporarily satisfied with defeating Arrad!
In addition to sealing the palace property, Mary also had to deal with the affairs of the city of Clodinah. In other words, it was to deal with the affairs of Christina, and the citizens of Croatia died more than 300,000, one tenth, a figure that was acceptable to the Fifth Legion, Catherine, and the people of the Guanzhong Plain. However, it is necessary to do a good job of pacification, epidemic prevention, post-war reconstruction and resettlement of citizens.
Fortunately, the taxes of the Guanzhong Plain are in the pockets of the Fifth Legion, and in the face of such a tragic situation, the Fifth Legion feels ashamed even if it wants to secretly leave some for itself.
After all, this will still be Catherine's territory in the future, so you need to be dealt with as members of the royal family of Maria and Christina.
The mountains of grain were again brought into the city of Crodina, and each man took a bag and went home, and the surplus was replenished in the empty granary, where even the rats had eaten up. The rescue team brought by Fuxing City is not only magicians, but also merchants and craftsmen who rebuilt the city of Crodina after the war, and Sosa can also take advantage of this opportunity to quickly expand his business network, especially the network of the money system.
In the newly established bank, paper money circulated like flowing water, of course, not paper money exchanged for gold coins by the citizens, but Sosa issued it in the form of loans, knowing that some loans may not come back, but only in this way can the economy of the city of Croatia recover quickly, and Sosa's other arrangements can be quickly developed, compared to the loss of a small number of loans, the paper money can be circulated in the city of Croatia, and the price is completely worth it.
……
The fall of the city of Crodina and the death of Arad made Arad's army, which was still holding the defense line along the river, lose their soul, and surrendered before the battle, accepting the reorganization of the First and Second Army Corps, Krusov reorganized the seventh theater, Guayada, reorganized the second theater, and the remaining first theater retained the structure, which is also what Catherine meant.
Krusov's First Legion and Guayada's Second Legion are already too powerful, although they are Catherine's own descendants, but they can also become warlords in the blink of an eye, Catherine has been forced to give too much power to these army bosses in order to recover the entire Erathia, and if they don't control it properly, I'm afraid it will get out of control.
Meanwhile, Captain Marpote, who is in a neutral position, swears allegiance to Catherine and awaits Catherine's adaptation.
"The whole army will clean up the barracks, and any general and marshal, without the order of the king, shall not leave his post without permission, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"
This was the last royal order that Catherine had given from the royal palace of the city of Zolma, nay, as it should now be called, and then went to her own palace, about a thousand kilometers to the north, under the escort of 30,000 guards.
Different from the embarrassment of entering Zhuoerma City back then, this time the scene was very vast, with colorful kings and high-flying canopies, becoming the focus of this vast team, which was the high-spirited attitude of the victor.
To be able to recover Alasia and return to his own palace in Croatia is equivalent to the founding of the country, because in history, there are not many peaceful dynasties that can return to their old capital again. It's easy to leave, but it's hard to come back!
But Catherine did it, the civil war rebellion that swept the whole of Erathia stained her throne, and now she personally washed away the stain under her seat, stopped the fall of her dynasty, and re-ascended to the highest throne of Erathia.
Historians may later say: "If there is a flaw, please show the king!" ”
Catherine will definitely not care, the king said: "The flaws are not hidden, and the Qing is fetish? ”
The winner, most of them don't care too much about others discussing his small mistakes, such small mistakes, on the contrary, will make the story of the winner go back to life, who wants to evaluate people who are too perfect?
At the back of the procession was the procession of the princes and ministers, and it was a great honor to be able to go back to the old capital with Catherine's chariot and share the joy and glory of the victors.
Catherine needs such a big scene to show the beginning of a new dynasty, and the people are willing to see such a scene, only such a scene will make people full of confidence in the strength of this dynasty, and will be full of awe of royal power, so let the historians who are picky in the egg write their sour history.
……
From Zorma City to Crodina City, Catherine's journey route is 1,200 kilometers, and it will arrive in about a little more than a month, which is not slow, because the officials and people along the way will be sent to the city, Catherine also needs to make a gesture and choose a few places to be close to the people, one is to soothe the wounds of the war, and the other is to show the majesty of Wang En!
But when Catherine saw the devastated scene of the countryside and ten rooms and nine emptiness, she was also shocked, the temple and the countryside are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, Catherine can not see the countryside with her own eyes There are not many times, and now the purpose is very different from what she thinks and thinks, and it even makes her cry, this is not a gesture, this is the real tears of the king.
……
The head of the palace, Sclair, arrived in the city of Crodina twenty days earlier than Catherine, he was very satisfied with the sealing state of the city and the palace temporarily managed by Hig and Maria, with the help of the revival city, under the leadership of Blue Fairy, Sosa, and Mizter, the entire city of Crodina was quickly soothed by the wounds, and in more than a month, the city of Crodina was basically restored to life, most of the citizens have returned to the city, commerce, workshops and all walks of life, restarted, and the large city with a population of millions began to run slowly......
The only thing that makes Sklell unhappy is that there is no scapegoat, that is, there are no prisoners, and the entire Manchu civil and military forces of Arad have disappeared with the flow of refugees, and although Scorley understands, it does not mean that Catherine will not mind. When Higg told Scrathrath about Arad's ending, Scrath was a little surprised but not very surprised, if Arad didn't have some means, he would be able to dominate Alasia for nearly twenty years?
"I made good on my promise, it's time for you to get paid!" Sklella was itching in his heart, and he was too interested in the information in Higg's hands.
Higg smiled: "You know, I never care about finances, no matter how much I am paid, I have Lan Xian'er as my financial wife!" Since you want to be paid, go to Mrs. Erpin, I don't care how much she pays you and how much she discounts! ”
"Hmph, you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" Szleek was a little angry and said, "I'm a dignified palace manager, what are I going to do with your second lady?" ”
"Of course it's a business matter, can there be a private matter?" Xige smiled, "Lan Xian'er is now the temporary governor of the post-war reconstruction of Crodina City, and her status is still above me, since you, the head of the palace, are here to take over Crodina City for Your Majesty, if you don't visit her, you should also name her and let her come to see you!" ”
"Hehe, you lady is not simple!" Scorley laughed, "I suppose she's going to make extra demands on me before she pays me, right?" You two guys, join forces to bully me, an old man? ”
Higg smirked, "I don't know about this, she probably probably won't!" ”
