I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 126: Equality, freedom

,

It turned out that Draco's hunch was completely correct: that night, he was knocked on the door by two soldiers of the guard company, asking him to pack his luggage immediately and get ready to board the ship. The destination was Nakhir Port, the capital of Nakhir Kingdom. It is the largest commercial and trade center of the Three Kingdoms of Beihai.

An Sen thought about it this way: Since the empire can think of winning the Beihai Three Kingdoms, it is impossible for the other party to have no idea about it.

In the 95th year of the saint's calendar, the Three Kingdoms of Beihai cooperated with the empire to besiege Beigang, proving that they were not satisfied to be excluded from the orderly world and be a "marginal" country with little influence; their traditional sphere of influence was concentrated in the turbulent To the east of the sea, there is a certain conflict of interest with Clovis; it is a little unrealistic to want to draw them in completely.

So Ansen made two-handed preparations: first, he took out a sky-high price order to satisfy the appetite of the three countries in the Beihai Sea, imported salt and various easy-to-store pickled products in large quantities, and at the same time increased the export volume of "beast slaves" to fill the three countries because of the year-round The labor shortage caused by the war.

And if the Free Confederation can succeed in independence, it will definitely break away from the imperial system completely, and in the short term it may even cut off trade with the empire because of the hatred caused by the war; such a brand-new, unified and new market of customs and administrative systems has become The cake that Clovis and the Beihai three countries can share together.

And compared to Clovis, they also have the advantage of distance, and can more easily incorporate the newly born Free Confederation into their trade network. At that time, they will step on the north port and look at the bird port, and completely establish the economic hegemony in the north of the ordered world. .

Of course, if this set of words can't cover the opposite side, then activate the "emergency plan": secretly support the kingdom of Nakhir and unify the North Sea!

Considering the relationship between the three countries in the Beihai, it is unrealistic to want to buy at the same time. If you win one party, you will end up with two enemies. They will definitely follow the price of all-round money. If that is the case, then just support one and completely muddy the water.

And he is not a random supporter - among the three kingdoms, Nakhir has the most prosperous port, the economic system is somewhat similar to that of North Port, and the royal family is also similar to Clovis's Osteria family, a relatively young, The upstarts with only four or five hundred years of history can't afford to climb high in the face of the old giants, but at the same time they are brave and feel that they are not bad.

The high similarity makes the two countries have a common language, and it is easier to understand each other's ideas. The cost of attracting and negotiating is much cheaper than buying the other two "Northern giants", and the success rate is also higher.

Anyway, the ultimate goal is to ensure the stability of the eastern front without any accidents. As long as the troops of the three North Sea countries do not appear on the border of the Clovis colony, is there a difference between the alliance or the melee?

The commander-in-chief of the garrison thought there was a difference, but only a little.

William Cecil, who knew the seriousness of the problem, did not delay. Before the Crown was completely rectified, he immediately set sail the next morning, trying to complete the mission before the imperial people noticed it.

And his enthusiasm is naturally not unrewarded - Ansen made a promise to him that when the "Coal Mine Development Bank" in Beluga Port is officially established, no matter how much the final investment is, he will personally own at least 1% of the total investment. Five shares.

Considering that this bank is destined to be a cake shared by many parties, especially Franz, Rune and even the royal family have to take a large part of it, the young captain is already very satisfied with this ratio.

At the port of Beluga Harbor, An Sen, who waved off the Crown, breathed a sigh of satisfaction and returned to the Rune Mansion before the dawn bell.

After finalizing the issue of the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea, the next thing to be resolved is the old **** organization of the indigenous people of the new world, and the newly established united front of the resistance army.

Miss Talia and the great Sheriff Liza Bach are in charge of the old gods organization and the evil gods. The only thing he really cares about as the commander-in-chief is the newly established Free Confederation.

It should be said that the response speed of the various rebel colonial parliaments is still very fast - not only after the "Red Hand Bay Operation" newspaper was published, they quickly purged their loyalists, and even passed the "Customs Union" that had been delayed before. ” and “open borders” are the two most difficult policies to implement.

That's right, this is the "protection fee" in exchange for the Storm Division's military alliance, as well as the "vote certificate" to show loyalty to Moby Dick and Clovis.

Once the borders are opened and the tariffs are unified, it means that in addition to the empire, Clovis' caravans will be unimpeded in the whole new world, exchanging resources and purchasing industries; Beluga Port will no longer have to worry about the face of the empire and directly purchase resources from the whole new world , while dumping a variety of local manufactured goods at low prices.

Even if such a "unified market" lasts for three months, as long as enough transportation capacity can be transferred locally, Ansen is confident that he will complete the "taxation" quota for a whole year, or even a year and a half, before the midsummer.

Since the final resistance failed and the empire recaptured the colony, the cost of suppression and post-war reconstruction alone would be enough to bring down the empire, or force the colony back again—the storm division might not make any money, but the empire would definitely lose blood.

Of course, as a "messenger of justice" and a "beacon of freedom", how can the things done by Beluga Port be called "protection fees" and "name submissions"? That should be the "United Front Treaty" and "Most Favored Party Treatment".

According to this agreement, although the Free Confederation has just been established, and the Parliament and the government no longer exist, all Beluga and Clovis ships can berth at any port at will, and any purchase and sale will only be charged at the lowest tax rate. At the same time, subsidies and concessions equivalent to those of the local colonists will be given to the purchase of industries and land reclamation.

But Anson is still dissatisfied with this state-although the colonies have taken concrete actions to clarify their positions, but in the final analysis, the two sides are still allies using each other; .

In order to solve these prejudiced ideas, Anson can only do many things: to appease (coerce and lure) Long Lake Town and Red Hand Bay, needless to say, more importantly, let the future Free Confederation have people who truly understand themselves.” Bosom friend".

For this candidate, Anson believes that the currently helpless sisters Frey, especially the elder sister Paulina Frey, are particularly empathetic.

In order to help the two sisters build momentum, Anson not only arranged for them to give speeches at the Beluga Harbor Council, and let the "Beluga Harbor Good People" do a series of reports, but also "persuaded" Talia to temporarily borrow the Rune House in the parliamentary area. For them, as the base camp for the liberal remnants of Grey Dove Castle.

The commander-in-chief of the Storm Division personally endorsed them, and together with the "best-selling" newspapers in the whole new world, they aimed to build them into a banner against the empire, and have absolute influence and discourse power in the Free Confederation.

In the future, as long as the Frey family is brought under its command, the Luen family only needs to operate behind the scenes, and can control every move of the Free Confederacy without showing up. Combined with the financial resources of the Coal Investment Bank, the dissemination power of Moby Dick, The influence of the Faithful Alliance...

From top to bottom, a brand-new country that has just been born is firmly grasped in the palm of the hand.

From this aspect, Anson really likes the system of "confederation" and "autonomous council"; it is almost impossible to control a country with such a feudal monarchy... Sure enough, the times are progressing , the society is developing, and the new version will have a new gameplay.

The carriage had just stopped outside the gate of the mansion, and the old butler Frey, who had put on a Clovis costume, immediately stepped forward and saluted, welcomed Anson into the living room, and skillfully took a glass of Tirpitz rum and a cigarette case, and then respectfully 's retreat.

Five minutes later, the smiling Polina came to the living room, holding the "Declaration of Resistance" tightly in her arms, a work co-created by the little secretary Anson Lashang.

This is also part of the "packaging" for the two sisters: after all, although they have the support of Grey Dove Castle liberals, they are still children, and they are not well-known in the entire orderly world; they want to have a place in the upcoming Free Confederation as soon as possible, and write a book Li Chuan is the cheapest shortcut.

So relying on Ansen's memory of some less serious "famous novels" in the previous life, and with the writing of the little secretary, it took only one night, and the two sisters' independent and original "Declaration of Resistance" was born.

Now that all the rebel colonies have signed this manifesto as a slogan and a program of action against the Empire, the Frey sisters, as its authors, are unshakable as a banner of the Free Confederacy against the Empire.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, I'm working on this book, and I hope to be better and more emotional when I speak next time."

As the girl spoke, she sat down beside Anson, and spread the scroll on the coffee table: "This work really has so many things that attract me, it's just tailor-made for Grey Pigeon Castle! I mean... Those words, metaphors, appropriate like only those who have lived in Grey Dove Castle for many years, can they be refined from life and experience into such a powerful statement!"

No, for a skilled clerk, he only needs enough documents to report... Anson thought to himself.

Compared with the first time we met, Paulina was obviously a lot more cheerful, and the panic and fear in her eyes were replaced by enthusiasm and joy, even mixed with a trace of flattery.

Clearly, she realized that she and the Stormtrooper were the ones who helped her take back Grey Dove Castle, the Freys, and even a place in the Free Confederacy.

For this kind of change, Anson is not disgusted, and even quite appreciates - otherwise, his hard-working investment would not be wasted.

"However, there are still some places that Paulina doesn't quite understand."

Just when Anson was secretly complacent, the girl suddenly changed the topic and said with a little doubt: "You mentioned more than once in the text that the new world is free and equal... This freedom and equality, does it also include beasts... Indigenous people Is it?"

She originally wanted to say "beast slave", but she was obviously worried that she would anger the other party, so she immediately changed her tune.

For this unnecessary worry, Anson smiled slightly: "Of course not - in fact, I have already arrived at the beginning of this article: the pursuit of a happy life and freedom from any constraints belong only to the colonists. It does not include the natives, and certainly does not include the natives of the New World.”

"Compared with your native land, you have freedoms that people under the kingship of the old world did not have; compared with the natives, you represent the extension of the civilized world; you who have the advantages of both and discard all the shortcomings, Qualifies for both of these unparalleled privileges at the same time."

Of course he knew what the other party was worried about: Compared with the Clovis colonies, these rebel colonies of the Empire were of no size, and the "beast slave trade" was an important support in their respective economic systems; if Anson really wanted to defeat the Empire Promise Beast The slaves were free, absolutely devastating to their mines and plantations.

Not to mention others, the Frey family owns thousands of acres of plantations in Grey Pigeon Castle, and there are hundreds of beast slaves under their name. It is a matter of course to be sensitive to this kind of thing.

Although pulling a group of slave owners to talk about equality and freedom, it feels ironic no matter how you think about it; but anyway, everyone is looking for a reason to rebel against the empire, and the details are not important at all.

"What about you?" Paulina said suddenly, "Do you think you are special too?"

"I?"

Anson chuckled: "Of course not - as a Clovis officer, I will always be loyal to the royal family and kingdom of Austeria, and of course I will not be completely free."

"But Paulina doesn't think so." The girl shook her head:

"If it weren't for you and your soldiers, me and Sarah...and many other liberals in Grey Dove Castle, it would be impossible to reach Beluga Harbor alive, let alone become the leader of the liberals in Grey Pigeon Castle, dreaming of having You can get revenge one day."

Speaking of this, the girl suddenly laughed at herself and chuckled: "The first day we escaped, we were all thinking about whether we could take a hot bath tonight and sleep on the feather bed; the next day, we thought about Is it possible to drink a glass of milk, because Sarah has a cold, and every time I have a cold, my father will prepare hot milk with honey and sugar for us."

"On the tenth day...when your soldiers found us~www.wuxiaspot.com~ we all thought he was the cavalry of the Empire, at that time we only hoped that he would shoot later, and then shoot later; Sarah and I will both pray for him if he wants to wait until we finish our bread."

"It turned out he was better than we thought, and he came to save us...on your orders."

"And this is what every Clovis person with a conscience would do." Anson comforted softly: "So it's a pity... We are comrades in arms, but not one of you."

"Then..." Paulina suddenly dragged a long voice and looked at him with burning eyes:

"Are you interested in trying the taste of equality and freedom?"

The voice fell, and the air suddenly became quiet.

The stunned An Sen looked at her with a puzzled expression completely frozen on his face. It took a long time before he said:

"……What?"

Paulina no longer hesitated and stepped forward calmly.
