Chapter 532 The war breaks out again
The Noble Court was the first to fall, followed closely by the Commercial Court.
The most important thing for businessmen is manpower. Many people are willing to do such things as going to the toilet with their salary, but the cubicles in the commercial court are not enough for them.
The common people have almost zero means to oppose the bureaucracy. Now that there is a method that can defeat those big bosses, and they use means that they have no control over, how can they not follow suit.
The bathroom occupation movement quickly spread throughout the Kingdom of Gaul, and for a while local governments were miserable.
News reached the fortress of Tulus in the southwest.
Last summer, the two heirs to the throne in the Kingdom of Tarago, Archduke Suarez and Duke Alansati, officially turned against each other, and then the Gallic army that supported Duke Alansati rebelled under the command of Prince Moritz. Pass through the Xueniu Mountains and enter the northeastern part of the Kingdom of Tarago.
The coalition composed of the Duke of Aransati and the vanguard of the Gallic army fought a small-scale battle with the escort of Archduke Suarez south of the city of Magritte, the capital of King Tarago. They defeated Archduke Suarez, who retreated calmly with the crown stolen from the palace. Everyone thought they had won.
Now that the weather is starting to get warmer and the new year's military operations are about to begin, unexpectedly there is trouble in the country.
At the state meeting, the younger Louis said to the elder Louis: "Father, I suggest sending a special envoy back to the city of Barris to deal with this matter."
Old Louis just looked down at the document in his hand and did not answer.
In his opinion, those bureaucrats have been doing too badly for so many years, and it’s time to crack down.
He turned to the next page, which was a leaflet. The content above made him read in a low voice: "Taxation is not an obligation, but a contract between the taxpayer and the tax collector. The taxpayer pays Tax collectors pay taxes, and tax collectors provide taxpayers with fair protection..."
Old Louis glanced at the author, turned around and ordered: "Invite this Guiyum, please note, it is A sincere invitation, don’t cause anything else to happen to me.”
The secretary on the side understood what the king meant, but still made sure and asked: “Your Majesty, how about the etiquette of inviting knights into the palace?”
For people who work, there is no standard for "sincerity", so it is better to use examples with clear standards to measure it.
Old Louis nodded and said: "Yes."
Little Louis asked curiously: "Father, does this man have any special talents?"
Old Louis replied : "I don't know yet, I'll tell you when he comes."
"Now I'll give you a mission to visit the Principality of Wesson and try to buy more drugs."
Last summer and autumn, an army in Gaul suffered from enteritis due to water supply problems. In the past, 20 to 30% of the people died. In the end, they were cured with allicin capsules, and no one died.
Little Louis looked a little bad. Logically speaking, as a prince, he should have followed the vanguard to gain merit last year, but he was left at home to manage logistics. Now a new military operation is about to begin, and he has to Go to the Principality of Wesson.
Military honors are of the highest value these days. Since the beginning of the war, little Louis has only gained a little bit of soup and water. Even if he becomes the king in the future, his voice will be much lower in front of those military leaders.
What's more important is that you can win over those military leaders during the war and make them your supporters.
Now, there is nothing.
Little Louis envied Frederick in his heart, because his troops all obeyed him, so it was easy to do whatever he wanted in the country.
“Sneeze, sneeze, sneeze!!!”
Frederick sneezed three times in a row, which made all the officials in Hanma City extremely nervous. These days, because of It is very common to die from colds. "It's okay." Frederick waved his hand, "It's just that my nose is a little itchy."
He turned to the officials and asked: "Is there enough food?"
Frederick went to the north. When he came back, the Kingdom of Sverriers officially launched an attack on the Kingdom of Damma. At the same time, it sent a large number of plundering fleets south to plunder the east bank of the Elbe River and the northern coastal areas of the Piast Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Danma is located to the north of Hanma City. It mainly consists of the Cimbrica Peninsula and a large number of islands to the east. It faces the Kingdom of Sverier in the north of the ocean across the sea. The two countries can simultaneously Geographically blocking the eastern North Sea.
King Kosdorf of the Kingdom of Sverriers has spoken out to make the east side of the North Sea his own inland sea.
In just a few days, Lanxi Island, the largest island east of the Danma Kingdom, was occupied. At the same time, a large number of refugees from the southern coast of the North Sea poured across the Elbe River towards Hanma City.
On the Rhine Alliance side, Rudolf reacted quite quickly. While sending the Minister of Military Affairs, Count Pisto, to Hanma City to understand the situation on the spot, he also asked the domestic lords to prepare to assemble their troops. Situation Rebuilding the Elbe Line.
Frederick met Count Pistol as soon as he disembarked in Hanma.
When Count Pisto saw him, it was like seeing a life-saving straw. He wished he could give him his identity as a special envoy immediately, and immediately went straight to the telegraph office to send a message to Cologne.
After Frederick settled Catherine, he came to the city wall. Outside the city, there was a large mess of tents, all of which were refugees who had fled.
The officials of Hanma City could logically ignore Frederick, but Frederick's fist had a greater reason, and they had to take it seriously.
An official immediately replied: "There are still some days before the harvest season, and the food in the city is a little tight."
Frederick nodded. Hanma City is a city mainly focused on maritime trade and shipbuilding. It has many merchants and workers and consumes a lot of food. There is indeed not much leftover food.
The group of Hanma City officials glanced at each other, and the unlucky man who had just been chosen by lot came over and asked cautiously: "Grand Duke Weisen, I heard that the Duke of Weisen is in short supply of workers now, why not..."< br>
These refugees are a source of instability here. God knows when they will explode, so it is best to send them away.
It just so happened that the Principality of Wesson had a tradition of accepting refugees, so the officials of Hanma City came up with a decision that seemed to be a win-win situation.
Frederick just sneered, causing the smart guys to break out in cold sweat, and some of them even trembled.
Taking in refugees is not a problem. Now a lot of land in the principality needs to be reclaimed, and new factories are recruiting workers, but we can't agree to these guys so easily. We have to pay.
This sudden war disrupted his plan and made him a little unhappy. He had no place to vent his anger.
At this time Count Pisto sent someone to ask for Frederick.
The telegraph station in Hanma City can directly contact the telegraph station in Cologne City. Now the conference rooms of the two telegraph stations have been requisitioned. Frederick and Count Pisto are here in Hanma City. Doff and the court officials held the first national telegraph conference in history at the telegraph station in Cologne.
Earl Pisto left the city of Cologne, and the envoy from the Kingdom of Dama for help arrived. The two sides held many negotiations in the past few days, but failed to reach an agreement.
The court needed more detailed intelligence from the front line to make judgments, and it also needed to listen to Frederick's opinions.
