Chapter 64: The birth of the little bunny girl
According to the exiled nobles, Emperor Sochar's methods of suppressing the rebels were extremely bloody and cruel, completely breaking the rules of the aristocratic political game in the past. At least several thousand wealthy imperial nobles, wealthy businessmen, senators and officials were all imprisoned. Emperor Sochar was declared a prostitute. Without any trial, he was deprived of his title, confiscated all his property including his territory, became a death row prisoner, and even implicated his family members.
Of course, one can imagine the intensity of resistance that was aroused by killing so many powerful members of upper class society at once. Therefore, Sochar also stipulated in the imperial edict that all free people who kill these people will receive huge rewards; slaves who kill them will be immediately restored to freedom; and those who try to harbor and protect "****" will be They are guilty of the same crime as "****", regardless of their previous status.
So, a bloody carnival began. Many guys who had become prostitutes for no apparent reason had no time to learn the bad news. They were in the manor and on the streets and were surrounded by red-eyed soldiers, slaves, enemies, and coveted soldiers. Relatives who were involved in their family property were killed. Under the stimulation of property and death, many shameless scandals and tragedies occurred, such as sons killing their fathers, younger brothers killing their elder brothers, and wives killing their husbands. In a short period of time, the Gyeonggi region of the empire, which had just subsided from the war, once again became a river of blood. The entire aristocratic class that maintained the rule of the empire was hacked to pieces by Sochar's butcher knife. All the exiles who were lucky enough to escape the death vortex were filled with regret and infinite indignation.
However, although these exiled nobles described the matter vividly and as if it was so tragic, Wang Qiu, as an audience and bystander, did not have any special feelings about it, because political purges like this are really rare in the history of the earth. Too many.
As the saying goes, there are only one emperor and one courtier. Since Sochar won the throne through civil war, it was only natural that he would undergo a purge after gaining power. Otherwise, where can he get wealth and land, and free up political space to reward those heroes who fought and fought all the way to put him on the throne? If it is to appease the enemy and chill one's own people, it is tantamount to committing suicide for a politician.
The famous tyrant of ancient Rome, Emperor Severus, who was born in North Africa, once said: "The soldiers must be made rich, and there is no need to worry about anything else." In other words, if the soldiers cannot be made rich, then , then the emperor as the head of the army would not be able to sit firmly on the throne.
In addition, since the various vassal states of the empire almost all sided with Saushar in the civil war against the Imperial Senate and the legitimate emperor, in order to reward them based on their merits after the civil war, they were very tight on the matter. Emperor Charles had to cede large tracts of land that originally belonged to the empire to these vassal states as a reward for borrowing troops from them - many nobles and senators cried bitterly about this, viewing it as a heinous act of treason. But in fact, these ceded lands basically belong to the camp of Sochar's political opponents. Strictly speaking, they are just killing people with a borrowed knife.

All in all, although Wang Qiu and the others basically maintained an indifferent attitude towards the bloody massacre going on on the other side of the mountain range, "the matter has nothing to do with them, just keep it high." But the problem is that as more and more opposition nobles and senators flee to the Arnus Hills, most of them just want a place where they can live peacefully and save the lives of their entire family. Thank God, I dare not ask for more. But there are also some exiled nobles who can't see the situation at all. They have already been taken care of by others, but they still pretend to be masters, trying to boss Wang Qiu and his urban management team members, asking for various things, and even trespassing into restricted areas... So naturally... After being shot dead on the spot, the bunny girls picked up the body and refrigerated it— —In view of the fact that harsh punishments are required in troubled times, during the process of hosting refugees, various unruly thugs were basically executed every day. Therefore, the first batch of alien corpses had already begun to arrive before the war started. Shipping across the "door" to meet sponsor needs...
In addition, there are some ambitious people who are still unwilling to stay dormant after wandering all the way to the Arnus Hills. More than a dozen former imperial senators, headed by the Marquis of Kajer, contacted each other and sent representatives. , managed to enter the State Guesthouse, and after meeting with Princess Pingna, who was still under house arrest, she asked Mayor Wang Meiling to lend troops to help in the war, claiming that she wanted to welcome Princess Pingna to the throne and bring order to the chaos.
The problem is that even though they have reached the current desperate situation, these arrogant elders still don't seem to have a correct mentality.
"...It's really ridiculous. This group of exiled senators actually asked us to send troops to help them defeat Soshar and recapture the imperial capital and the entire Gyeonggi Province in a patronizing tone. However, the reward was just a light sentence of 'obtaining the eternal friendship of the Imperial Senate.' And if we are allowed to stay in Arnus Hill...do we think we are idiots? Do we still need the approval of those homeless dogs to stay here?"
In the mayor's office, Wang Meiling smiled bitterly and took out a petition written on parchment and threw it in front of Wang Qiu.
"...I have heard about this a long time ago. There is actually someone among those guys who secretly bribed the urban management team member to buy his Bayi Bar."
Wang Qiu shook his head, picked up the petition for borrowing troops and started reading it. He kept complaining, "...Not to mention how strict the discipline of gun management is, that bastard only took out a ten-gram gold coin. Just want to buy an automatic rifle? Second-hand ones are not that cheap, right?”
In fact, after they completely broke up with Emperor Soshar, when the relevant departments were formulating a plan for the aftermath of the war, they did consider whether to simply take advantage of the situation and invade the imperial capital after defeating Emperor Soshar and establish the A puppet government then pushed the currently held Princess Pinna to the forefront to serve as the empress of the empire and act as the agent of China's interests on this continent. But the problem is, as the saying goes, a slap cannot make a difference. It is very difficult to achieve such a thing as establishing an agent regime without the close cooperation of a local interest group. After all, the imperial capital of Urabianka itself had been destroyed by floods. Even if the ruins could be captured, the political significance would be greatly reduced. Although there are a group of exiled nobles in the empire who are enthusiastic about this matter, Princess Pinna herself lacks strong enthusiasm for fighting for the throne, and her attitude has always been ambiguous.
What's even worse is that even the exiled nobles of the empire who are trying to use troops to bring order to chaos are really speechless.
Logically speaking, since you want to borrow troops to restore your territory and power, you have to be groveling and groveling, right? But this bunch of funny people with weird logic still put on a show of "We masters are willing to condescend to borrow troops from you, we already think highly of you! Why don't you kneel down to thank us and do your best for us?" I don’t know if they are bluffing and pretending to use this to lower the price at the negotiation table, or if they really think so... If it’s the latter, there will be no cooperation at all. .
Wang Qiu and the others have actually seen things like this before, such as those Jiangnan Donglin Party members in the late Ming Dynasty who had no limit to their attempts to commit suicide, or priests in medieval Europe who saw angels descending to earth but insisted on slandering them as monsters... Generally speaking, He said that it is basically impossible to cooperate with such people. In terms of rationality, they are either brainless or Deliberately pretending to be stupid, they have no concept of "repaying a favor" when it comes to feelings - according to the thinking logic of these self-centered "ancient versions of Long Aotian", when such a noble master like them meets When danger comes, you humble people should have risked your lives to save them! No matter how many people died or were injured, it was all deserved, and it was too much to ask for any compensation! It must be severely punished!
When encountering such a stinking bitch, there is no other way to deal with it other than to beat him to death or kick him aside - obviously, the potential collaborators in the empire have to change their mentality. , all in-depth cooperation will be impossible until the Chinese are no longer regarded as being taken advantage of.
The other option proposed by the relevant departments, which is to unite with other countries on the Falmat continent to carve up the empire's territory, is impossible to start in a short period of time due to the lack of minimum connections and intelligence. We can only let nature take its course and wait for opportunities to act. .
In addition, even if the local collaborators can understand their own status and are willing to cooperate in a low-profile manner, the actual cost of the Chinese relying on brute force to support a puppet regime in a completely unfamiliar civilization system is actually It's also very high.
In the modern history of the earth, even though the US imperialists and Soviet revisionists were as powerful as the Cold War era, they often encountered puppet regimes they supported that could not be put on the wall. They received a lot of aid from the sovereign country but still could not stand. In the end, they ended up losing ground. The sovereign state itself also got into trouble. For example, the Soviet Union is in Afghanistan, and the United States is in Vietnam and Iraq. This is the case. Since it is a proxy regime that you have supported, you must continue to help them gain a foothold. There is still rebellion and turmoil in the other country, and the sovereign country must send troops to help quell it. ? If there is a famine disaster, the sovereign state also has the obligation to provide relief. Over time, the expenses kept flowing like water. Only God knows whether it was a loss or a profit when the general ledger was finally calculated.
What's more worth the loss is that since the "door" will only remain open for a few years, the Chinese government has never thought about turning the Falmat continent into a colony... In this case, instead of taking the trouble to carry a heavy burden , paying huge governance costs for a land that does not want to be ruled at all, and allowing himself to become a Falma as an invader It is the target of all careerists on the mainland; it is better to imitate the plan of the European and American powers to treat old China during the Republic of China. After fully demonstrating their invincible force, choose an important transportation area to segregate as a concession, and then let nature take its course and watch the situation on the mainland. Change - As long as no one comes to mess with it, there is no need to use more weapons, so that management costs can be reduced to a minimum.
After all, the cost of fighting a modern war is terrible, and the cost of fighting a security war for several years is even more shocking.
Haven’t you seen that even with the wealth and power of the United States, it has been fighting a war in the Middle East for more than ten years, and it has just destroyed the national economy?
The total area of the Falmat continent is larger than fifty Iraq, and there are endless strange powers unknown to the people on earth.
In other words, if the degree of interference in the political situation of another world is too deep and all kinds of monsters and monsters jump out, the risk will become completely uncontrollable.
"...If that's the case, let's leave these ungrateful exiled nobles alone for a while! They don't need us to support them anyway."
Mayor Wang Meiling shrugged her shoulders and made the decision to place PLAY in this way - because she refused to enter the "purification camp" to accept supervision and assignments from outsiders, the State Guesthouse also refused to entertain anyone except the Knights of the Rose for free. These exiled nobles are currently setting up tents in designated wilderness areas to live temporarily, and rely on their belongings to buy food and drinks from Xingota Village, so there is no risk of having a free meal.
"... Let's put aside the matter of the exiles for the time being. Let's talk about the military situation in the surrounding areas. Has any enemy reconnaissance team come over?"
"...There is no special movement on the ground for the time being. Saushar's army is still staying on the other side of the mountains. The patrol team formed by the Headhunting Rabbit Warriors did not find anything special. They just intercepted and killed a few groups of bandits and dissatisfied soldiers. Disciplined refugees. Something happened in the sky. This morning, a dragon knight riding a pterosaur flew over from the east of the Romanian mountains. It seemed that he wanted to conduct reconnaissance on us. Then he was shot down by an anti-aircraft machine gun on the sentry tower from a long distance away. We are currently sending People search for the bodies of pterosaurs and enemy soldiers..." Wang Qiuru replied.
"...Well, it seems that this war will not be fought for a while..."
Mayor Wang Meiling nodded, and then suddenly changed the topic, "...By the way, are you ready for the gift for Ivan?"
"...A gift? What gift?" Wang Qiu was confused. "...Why should I give him a gift?"
"...Don't you know? Of course this is a gift to congratulate Comrade Rabbit Boy Ivan on becoming a father! His child is scheduled to be born today."
"...Isn't he already a father? Recently, more than 60 pregnant bunny girls have given birth to babies!"
"...The previous ones can only be regarded as illegitimate children! This time, Queen Tiurei, who is officially married to him, is giving birth."
Wang Meiling waved her hand and explained, "...While we were chatting, the rabbit queen had been sent to the delivery room. Maybe she has given birth to the little rabbit now... Dudududu... Well, come on. message, I’ll take the video call.” The next moment, I’m at the office. On the computer screen on the table, Marikawa Shizuka's tired smile appeared, as well as a bunch of cute little things placed in the incubator, "... Phew, it's finally done, mother and daughter are safe, here, this is the newborn baby The five little bunny princesses are super cute! ”
