Naruto: History of the Warring States Period

Chapter 641

“Okay, Stockton, you don’t need to say more, I understand what you mean, but you haven’t seen the potential meaning in this incident! According to the one sent by the subordinate of Ornest The content of the personal letter shows that the “mastermind” of this incident is obviously my good father! And Ornest only played a role in adding fuel to the flames, even though the letter stated that this incident was not with him. It doesn’t matter, but I can also guess his thoughts, and since this incident was caused by my father, then are you going to arrest my father in the end?

And what the letter said is very clear. The reason why my father will launch this assassination against us is that the guy who went to the north to preach the decree discovered some things that he shouldn’t have discovered, which led to my father. Regarding some of my doubts, he also secretly sent someone to the north to investigate.

But since he has failed this time, he will not do it again in his capacity. After all, time is not allowed, so our journey to the imperial capital will be much smoother, and the reason why I don’t want to The publicity of this incident is also to give him a step, and it involves the game between me and him. You must know that politics is a compromise. Stockton, you are really not a qualified politician! ”

Even though Stockton hadn’t finished speaking, Yuzan immediately understood what the other party was trying to express, and he waved his hand and explained to him a little helplessly.

After listening to Yuzan’s explanation, Stockton was secretly surprised.

He really did not expect that this small assassination would involve so many worries. Although Yuzan did not explain it too clearly, he was not a stupid person after all, and he understood a general idea immediately. Next to awe-inspiring and admiring Yuzan’s scheming, forbearance and way of dealing with things.

Apart from other things, just this calmness and viciousness, among the children of the wealthy and aristocratic people he knew and met, there were few that could be compared, especially after experiencing this kind of incident. Even though I didn’t suffer too much damage, I could calm down so quickly, and in a confusing situation, I still knew how to stay quiet and endure it. This kind of scheming…

There was such a big incident in Calais that night. Although Yuzan specifically instructed the city lord not to stretch too much, he still mobilized a large number of local garrisons to conduct a large-scale investigation of the entire Calais city, even though he Also know that this kind of interrogation will not have any effect.

The next day, Yuzan and others, who had been “cultivating” for one night, finally set foot on the journey back to the imperial capital again. This time, his three thousand guards began to be on guard for the whole process. After all, Yuzan and others are just Having left their sight for a few hours, such a big thing had happened, but this made them, Yuzan’s confidants, also feel a burst of resentment.

After seeing Yuzan and others finally leave, the city lord of Calais was really relieved.

After leaving Calais City, Yuzan’s team marched for another five days. On this day, they finally arrived outside the Imperial City.

The imperial capital of the empire. Since the founding emperor of the empire established the country a thousand years ago, the capital has been established here. After thousands of years of vigorous repairs by many generations of emperors, the imperial capital has become undoubtedly the number one city on the mainland. , Even the Western kings and kings of the same long history of the mainland and the West looked eclipsed in front of the imperial capital, much inferior.

The natural and excellent geographical environment, as soon as facing the canal, the developed river transportation brings unlimited vitality to the imperial capital. Through the river transportation, there are endless merchant ships, and hundreds of years have spent countless financial resources to repair the main road, centered on the imperial capital. , And it extends in all directions, so in the eastern part of the mainland and even the whole mainland, there is a famous saying among the people: all roads lead to the capital!

“All roads lead to the imperial capital!”

This sentence is not blown out.

After spending the huge financial resources of almost every generation of emperors since the founding of the empire, with the imperial capital as the center, to the east to several provinces near the sea and even the eastern island countries, to the south to the southern islands and the adjacent southwestern alien regions, and north to the north. The grassland, west to the border area controlled by foreign nations in the west, and the Putola Canyon in the northwest, a huge transportation hub network covering the entire continent, like a blood vessel with the imperial capital as the heart, endlessly flowing. Tourists, business groups… These, coupled with nearly a thousand years of construction, make the prosperity of the imperial capital surpass the top of the entire continent!

Moreover, the convenient transportation makes it possible that once there is any disturbance or crisis in the imperial capital, the elite legions guarding all directions of the empire can rush to the imperial capital to quell the rebellion in the fastest time!

As the most powerful city on the mainland, there are four acropolises surrounding the imperial capital. These four acropolises were originally used as military fortresses to protect the imperial capital. However, after the turmoil of the empire five hundred years ago, It has been at peace for hundreds of years, there is no war, and the role of military fortresses has gradually faded.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The Central Army, which is now responsible for guarding the imperial capital, is the smallest army among the four major armies of the empire. Other main army groups, such as the Northern Army, which guards the northern grasslands in the north, have a staff of 200,000 people. After the Northern War a year ago, the personnel establishment increased to 300,000, while the Central Army Corps had only 100,000 personnel. However, it is recognized as the most elite corps on the mainland, and it is also the oldest and most glorious one on the mainland. An army, and their commander is General Albert, known as the strongest in the empire.

At present, the military forces of the imperial capital, the Central Army Corps, are stationed in the four acropolises on the four sides of the imperial capital, each stationed 10,000 people, in the imperial capital there are 60,000 people, usually responsible for the city defense of the imperial capital, there are some specially selected elite , About 10,000 people are responsible for guarding the palace, known as the Imperial City Guards, which is commanded by Carl’s martial arts teacher Anthony’s Chief Guard Douglas.

In addition to the 100,000 army of the Central Corps, the imperial capital’s public security station also has a ten thousand guard army and a ten thousand imperial forest army. On the port facing the Grand Canal in the north, there is also a small-scale naval fleet called the Imperial Capital. As the home port.

After many years of peaceful times, even the four acropolises around the imperial capital have gradually developed into large-scale cities. In addition to the garrison, they have become important trading cities with residents and populations exceeding ten. Million.

In addition to the four acropolises, the military forces in the imperial capital area, and the outer, inner and imperial cities of the imperial capital, the largest city on the mainland has a total population of more than two million. It is impossible to count.

Yuzan and his team arrived at the acropolis north of the imperial capital the night before and rested in the acropolis for a night. The next morning, under the protection of a central army, Yuzan and others came to the northern wall of the imperial capital. .

As for the three thousand guards who followed him, only five hundred people followed Yuzan into the imperial capital, and the other two thousand five hundred could only be stationed in the barracks of the central army outside the imperial capital, or in the acropolis.

And this is also required by the imperial decree. Whether it is a feudal prince or a feudal official who returns to the imperial capital, he can only bring a maximum of five hundred guards into the imperial capital.

Under the rising sun, the golden sun shines on the majestic walls of the imperial capital. Each piece of the imperial capital’s city walls is made of boulders as high as one person. It has been continuously renovated by generations of emperors. Has reached an almost terrifying level.

Above the city wall, there is a tall watchtower every two hundred meters, which is much higher than the next city wall. In war years, these watchtowers can be turned into long-range defenses. The arrow tower is equipped with the military’s giant ballista, and the main tower is also equipped with the “giant artillery” that has been lost from the era of the First Emperor.

Although the construction drawings and craftsmanship of this terrible weapon have been lost, it has been carefully maintained by senior military craftsmen on weekdays. Once the war is heavy, these historical relics can also erupt with the power of terror.

With the guards of these hundreds of thousands of elite troops, the many lost war weapons left over from the era of the first emperor, and the personal command of the strongest general in the empire, the imperial capital has been known as a continent that will never fall. The city is known as the city that never falls.

The first emperor spent so much effort to set up so many methods in the imperial capital. In fact, later generations always felt that doing so, spent so much financial and material resources, it was really a little redundant.

After all, the east of the mainland was unified at that time, and the empire had been established. On the whole continent, except for the Western Kingdom, there were no threats or powerful opponents. However, the Western Kingdom, not to mention the barriers between the Western nations and the empire, was even more important. There is a long distance between the two above. With the war methods of this era, the front should not be opened like this. The most important thing is that the strength of the empire is stronger than that of the Western Kingdom. If it does not attack the Western Kingdom, the opponent will burn incense and worship the gods. What comes to attack the empire, and even into the empire.

On the other hand, Emperor Shi was desperately trying to make the Emperor Capital into such an iron barrel formation. No one knew why. For thousands of years, many historians did not know why, and the history books did not deal with this matter. No mention, just blindly exaggerating the imperial capital’s defensive power.

The strange thing is that these seemingly useless legacy, after the death of the first emperor, the emperors of the past, although there have been many generations of emperors, and the empire was in great turmoil five hundred years ago, making the current emperor’s blood The collateral lineage, but each generation of emperors, even a few famous ridiculous monarchs in history… But these emperors all have one thing in common. They all spent great efforts to repair these in their own terms. It was left over from the time of the first emperor!

If all these things are Tegu, it’s fine. After all, Tegu’s power has been recognized by everyone after so many years, but these other legacy, it’s hard to figure out. This has almost become an unwritten “mystery” in the history of the empire.

Outsiders don’t know what the reason is. Perhaps only the imperial emperor knows the truth, and it is also a great secret of the royal family that has been passed down word of mouth among the emperors of the past dynasties!

These anecdotes, in fact, are rarely circulated outside, but Yuzan has been reading books since he was a child. In those days when he was in the imperial palace, because of cold reception, he spent most of the time hiding in his room to read books and collected all kinds of precious things. There are a lot of ancient books. Yuzan has only seen these secrets that have been lost in many places outside from those numerous books, but even though he himself is a member of the royal family, he does not know why, even he Because of this curiosity, she asked Queen Vivienne to the side, but the answer she got was still unknown.

However, it is ironic that this is a city that will never fall to the ground, and it has a strong defense area. It has many descendants left by His Majesty the First Emperor, and possesses the supreme emperor’s equipment as the last resort of the first emperor. Xiongcheng almost fell once in history.

Moreover, that time, the imperial capital even had time to deploy its defense system in the future, and even the highest emperor had no time to open Kei in the future, and he was beaten into the imperial city by the enemy!

This is exactly the time when the empire was in turmoil five hundred years ago. His Majesty the Emperor was also a famous monarch in history. Because he favored traitorous officials, not only the empire complained and mourned, but even different voices appeared inside the imperial house. , Finally, because of the behavior of the unconscious monarch finally annoyed many members of the royal family and the top of the empire, the coup appeared, although the unconscious monarch was eventually killed in the coup.

But because of his death, the emperor’s position was left empty, and different voices appeared between the imperial family and the upper echelons of the empire, and the great turmoil began. Some powerful nobles in the imperial family led their troops to fight back and forth around the imperial capital. hand……

Facing the rising sun, Yuzan stood outside the imperial capital, looking into the imperial capital from a distance. The tall palace hall was towering right in the center of the imperial capital. The huge crystal on the dome of the hall shone under the sunlight. Yi Yi was brilliant, faintly revealing a sacred and majestic aura…

Yuzan recalled the allusions and historical secrets about the imperial capital he knew. He looked at the majestic city wall and the brightly armored and well-equipped mighty soldiers on the city wall. He looked up at the imperial flag flying high above the tower. …

“It’s a majestic city, but I must have never imagined that the first emperor would have such a majestic city, and it will eventually fall, no matter how tightly you defend it, it is useless even if you have many methods… the strongest The fortresses are usually breached from the inside. Such a simple truth…hehe…”

There was a slight disdain in Yuzan’s eyes, and he smiled to himself, but the imposing manner in the words contained in the words made the two of Stockton and Charles standing behind him also feel a moment in their hearts. Agitated.
