king.

After another blow, the Dark Elf Queen rubbed her forehead helplessly.

Everything else about the Orc Empire is good, but when it comes to Hudson, everyone seems to be possessed by a collective evil spirit.

From the powerful at the top to the minions below, everyone suffers from severe Hudsonophobia.

If they meet on the battlefield, the morale of the two sides will be lowered by three knots before the two sides have fought.

It’s useless to know, everyone knows the truth, but fear is the body’s instinctive reaction.

Being hit by explosive hammers along the way has already formed a psychological shadow, which cannot be eliminated with a few words.

Now is no longer the past. The Alpha Kingdom chooses to farm with peace of mind, and there are not many measures that the Orc Empire can take.

What each race can do is to follow the roll and try to improve the strength of the race in a short period of time.

As for the political structure of the Orc Empire, this is an unsolvable problem, and the typical one is whoever touches it will die.

After some exchanges with each other, the leaders of each clan went directly back to their respective homes. From the beginning to the end, no one mentioned taking the initiative to start a war.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to, it’s just that they are helpless.

The strength of the two countries has been imbalanced. Although the Alpha Kingdom is very poor now, it cannot withstand the impending food harvest.

As long as there was no shortage of food in the feudal era, even if the private economy collapsed, the impact would be limited.

Referring to the past style of the Alpha Kingdom, if a large number of civilians go bankrupt, they can directly send them to the frontier to farm.

The self-sufficient economic system of the lords eliminated the possibility of a comprehensive economic crisis.

Returning to her home base, the smile on the Dark Elf Queen's face suddenly disappeared.

The dark elves not only inherited the talents of the elves, but also inherited their arrogance.

Hybrid breeds like orcs are not attractive to them. Now that she has to make a fuss with these guys, the Dark Elf Queen is also disgusted.

She originally wanted to use the power of the Orc Empire to fight back to the cursed land and take her family's lifeline into her own hands, but after this meeting she completely gave up the idea.

Everyone trembles at the mention of Hudson's name. It is obviously a dream to expect these guys to attack Xueyue Territory.

Unable to seize the geocentric passage in the Cursed Land, she had to focus on the geocentric passage in the Orc Empire.

After the Hell Dog was defeated, he was lucky enough to pick up a remnant of his life, and after escaping to the inner earth world, the passage was sealed.

If you want to reopen the passage, you must use force from below the inner world to destroy the remaining power of the Hell Dog first.

Most of the enemy's main force was destroyed. There was no pressure to defeat the drowned dark elves. The trouble was the exit from the surface world.

The Orc Empire is too vast. The distance from the current residence of the Dark Elves to the shores of Lobopu Lake is two to three thousand miles, and they have to pass through the territories of many powerful forces in the middle.

In terms of racial strength, the Dark Elf Queen would not be afraid of any of them.

However, as outsiders, it was difficult for them to gain a foothold in the Orc Empire. If you make trouble at this juncture, you will probably be beaten by a group of people immediately.

What's more, provoking a civil war now is also creating opportunities for humanity.

Once the fighter plane appears, the Alpha Kingdom's army will immediately come to kill them.

There is no need to doubt their enthusiasm when it comes to fighting against the Orc Empire.

After much hesitation, the Dark Elf Queen sighed.

Under the current situation, it is obviously impossible to leave all races alone and go it alone.

The Orc Empire is willing to accept them. In addition to its own lack of strength and the need for foreign aid, there is also the factor of coveting the resources of the inner earth world.

No action was taken because all the geocentric passages that appeared in the Orc Empire were destroyed and could not be cleared out in a while.

Once the road is opened, someone will definitely come over to discuss cooperation.

It all seems to be cooperation, but whoever holds the geocentric channel has the initiative in the cooperation.

Many forces are participating in sharing the spoils, and it is completely unknown how much benefit will fall into their hands in the end.

……

Canglan City.

Since the end of the palace meeting, the political struggle in the royal capital has become more intense.

The defeat of the reformists was certain, but when it came to power, interests, and even their lives, everyone couldn't help but make a last ditch effort.

The six giants in the court were even more helpless. The younger brothers were unwilling to fail and be slaughtered by others. The boss could only bite the bullet and fight this political battle with the conservatives.

The outcome is of course self-evident. The reformists, who lacked the support of powerful factions, suffered successive defeats in the political game.

The reformist officials in the court were constantly impeached and dismissed, and the tax collectors sent to various places were even worse. They were accused of crimes without realizing it.

For a time, everyone among the reformists was in danger. In order to avoid the political turmoil, many reformist officials directly hung up their official posts and left.

The vacant position fell directly into the hands of the conservatives, making a group of emerging aristocratic bosses furious.

Because of their support for the reformists, the power of each family in the court was involved in this turmoil.

I thought that abandoning the reformists would end the matter, but I never expected that the conservatives would be ruthless and pursue them fiercely.

However, all this has little to do with Hudson. The focus of the Koslow family's business is in the military. There are only a few people in the court, and they still occupy scrap positions.

When conservatives or traditional aristocrats exert their efforts, they focus on core power and cannot take care of these side effects for a while.

Not being directly affected, Hudson simply stood aside and allowed everyone to make a fuss.

What's more, it's not just the emerging aristocratic group that is unlucky. In this round of political storm, the royal family's power in the court has also been severely damaged.

Many officials with royal backgrounds were kicked out of the court, including many of the king's cronies.

Emerald Palace.

"What's going on? Marshal Hudson still refuses to step forward?"

Looking at the mournful face of the palace minister, Caesar IV asked angrily.

After the reformists lost the political struggle, the conservatives became the dominant force in the court.

In order to appease the conservatives, three officials with conservative backgrounds have appeared among the six ministers. However, the political storm still shows no sign of subside.

In private, he has repeatedly warned the conservatives to stop, but in recent days of government affairs meetings, these guys are still excluding dissidents.

In order to keep his cronies, Caesar IV even spoke in person, but these guys still didn't buy it.

Since taking the throne, he has indeed been criticized many times by the officials below, but all of them were for official business.

When it comes to the kingdom's strategy, it is completely understandable for people to have different political opinions and argue with each other.

The current situation is different. The current political storm is entirely due to political struggle.

There are disputes between conservatives and reformers, as well as conflicts between established aristocrats and emerging aristocrats.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Hudson left the Royal Capital this morning. It seems that he does not want to participate in this political turmoil."

Earl Mitchell replied tactfully.

This answer made Caesar IV's face become more and more gloomy.

If you don't leave early or late, leaving at this time is obviously deliberately avoiding him.

The reformist group was almost wiped out, and a large number of his cronies were squeezed out of the court, which really caught him off guard.

The fighting power and appearance shown by the conservatives this time exceeded his expectations.

The sudden loss of balance of power made Caesar IV very passive.

Every next step is crucial. If he is not careful, he, the king, will be ousted.

Under normal circumstances, when the royal family's power is at its peak, it is impossible for the king to be sidelined.

It's just that the current situation is obviously unusual. The aggressiveness of conservatives may seem overbearing, but in fact they are all about paying off old debts.     In the past few years, Caesar IV supported the reformists, but it offended the conservatives quite a lot.

In particular, the previous reforms had used tactics to divert the tiger away from the mountain, which made them even more indignant.

The current changes in the court are partly to liquidate the reformists, and partly to vent their grievances.

When the reformist government was in power, the conservatives targeted the six ministers. Now that these guys are down, the hatred falls on other reformist members.

A large part of the reason why Hudson avoids showing up is because he doesn't want to come out and cause hatred.

Theoretically speaking, Caesar IV can also avoid it.

Political battles usually avoided the king, at least not directly.

As long as he doesn't stand out, he can remain aloof from the world as a king, but the problem is that this fire has burned his trusted brother.

In order to keep his younger brother in the court, he had to stand up. This statement attracted hatred to himself.

Although no one clamored for the removal of the king, a few implicit remarks in private were still indispensable.

"Humph!

If you don't want to get involved, it's just that you see the momentum is not going well and choose to avoid the edge temporarily.

Send someone to tell Marshal Hudson that the power of the reformists in the court is almost destroyed, and now they need him to come out to save the last seeds. "

Caesar IV said angrily.

The conservatives are powerful, and the only person in the court who is qualified to help him share the pressure is Hudson.

Anyone else who dares to come out and beep will be pulled down immediately.

Compared with the established aristocrats, the power of the emerging aristocratic group is still too weak.

No matter in the court or in the local area, they are at an absolute disadvantage.

The commotion has reached this point, but no strong counterattack has been seen from the emerging nobles. In essence, the gap in strength between the two sides is still too great.

Among the emerging aristocrats, except for Hudson, the rest were only great aristocrats in name only.

……

There was a commotion in the capital, and the Xueyue Territory and the Mountain Territory were not at peace either.

Under pressure from Hudson, the Ministry of Home Affairs launched the most severe anti-corruption campaign in history, with officials being investigated almost every day.

There is an endless stream of people seeking connections and favors.

The outside world thought that Hudson's stay in the royal capital was due to the political struggle in the court, but they did not know that his real purpose was to hide from these connections.

Many of the officials who committed crimes followed him to conquer the world and made great contributions to the territory, and some of them were direct relatives.

Frankly speaking, if he is asked to deal with these people, he may not be able to do it.

But it's impossible not to move. Once these people are let go, the administration of the territory will be finished.

Problems that cannot be solved in the first generation will be even more unsolvable later on.

He simply hid behind the scenes in the capital and controlled the situation. After the investigation was over and everything settled, he would come back to clean up the mess.

"Everyone, get up. If you dare to do it, you must bear the consequences!"

Hudson's soft tone made the atmosphere in the hall extremely tense, and cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of countless people.

Those who originally wanted to open their mouths to plead for mercy, but under the influence of the atmosphere, they also chose to shut up at this moment.

It was clear to everyone that Hudson was really angry now. No one dared to provoke the angry lord.

The criminal officials kneeling on the ground were so frightened that they buried their heads on the ground and did not dare to look at Hudson's face at all.

“If you don’t get up again, then there’s no need to get up.

Don't blame me for forgetting about old friendships. I went back to pack my things and set off in ten days.

It is rumored that there are countless overseas islands. From now on, your task is to go to sea to find islands that can be inhabited.

If you corrupt one gold coin, you will find one square kilometer of land to atone for your sin.

Those who act recklessly outside and ruin the family's reputation will be punished double!

......"

When Hudson's words fell to the ground, everyone present took a breath.

It seems that no one was killed, but it is not fundamentally different from execution.

Entering unfamiliar waters to look for islands is like competing with the sky. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

According to regulations, they cannot stay on land for more than two months within a year.

Worse than sailors who travel overseas all year round!

It can be heard from Hudson's tone that he is not going to be equipped with sailors when he is exiled to the sea this time. They, the officials, need to serve as sailors themselves.

This kind of "paying for one's crimes and performing meritorious service" is not as good as joining a death camp and killing enemies on the battlefield and performing meritorious service, which has a higher chance of survival.

"Hudson, most of them are not from the Navy. Letting them go to sea would be..."

Before Redman could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted: "It doesn't matter, you can still learn if you don't know how to do it.

Throw him into the navy for three months of training. If you want to survive, you should study hard. If you can't learn, you will deserve to die.

It just serves as a warning to others, so that everyone understands that there are some things they cannot do! "

When it comes to the management of officials, it is impossible not to be ruthless.

Any chance left behind will lead to countless latecomers.

In fact, this kind of deterrence method can only work temporarily. Over time, new corruption will still breed.

However, in the feudal dynasty, this was already the most effective method.

As for improving system supervision, it can only be used as a political slogan and is completely undesirable in practice.

There is no other reason, it is simply that productivity is limited, they cannot afford to support so many officials, and they cannot subdivide their power.

The Xueyue Territory and the Mountain Territory cover nearly one million square kilometers of land, and the number of civil servants appointed by Hudson is less than 300.

Even if the officials below are added, the number of bureaucrats is only over a thousand. If you calculate the long-term protection of armor, this number can easily exceed 10,000.

Compared with the millions of people in the territory, the number of officials is unimaginably sparse, but this is also a characteristic of the times.

Under serfdom, there was very little population movement. Outside of the cities, there were almost no free citizens, and there were not many affairs requiring government administration.

In this context, each official has great power, making supervision very difficult.

Seeing that Redman was unable to persuade him, others were even more afraid to intervene.

Those being dealt with now are all serious, and some minor issues have been ignored. If Mr. Hudson is angered and expands the investigation, he may be involved.

No one doubts that Hudson will not take action!

Those who emerge from the battlefield are all decisive in killing, and once they make up their mind, they will not change it easily.

Although being exiled overseas is miserable, at least there is a glimmer of hope.

As long as a person is alive, there is hope. Anyway, he is not the one being exiled, so he does not need to suffer the consequences, and there is no need to fight against Mr. Hudson.

Regarding human relations, they have tried their best, but they really can't persuade them to do anything.

If you are able to come over and make some noise on your own, you can try to see if Master Hudson's knife is sharp.
