He looked at the big city that was returning to calm.
This city is the most important node connecting Asia and Europe, and it will surely prosper in the future.
Constantinople's prosperous future is promising, but Sule is very confused about his future.
Both were born into the royal family, but their birth time and mother's identity were different.
As the second prince, his situation is completely different from that of the eldest prince Su Shu.
He has tried his best to express himself, but still can't catch up with the gap caused by his identity.
Su Lei was always dissatisfied until he broke through his father's bottom line and was exiled to the frontier.
Su Shu was named crown prince by his father and became the only crown prince of the empire.
From then on, Su Lei knew that he would never be able to obtain the throne of the empire through normal channels.
This time I learned that my father was going to divide the princes among them, and there would be several princes among them.
He has been expressing himself, and at the same time, he has asked his mother to use their few remaining resources to push him to become one of the few princes who have been enfeoffed.
Su Lei is now dormant, waiting for new opportunities to come.
A hundred years after my father, who knows what will happen to the empire?
If the Han Dynasty and Jin Dynasty and the princes and princes rebelled, he would most likely return to the Central Plains.
The empire still maintains its prosperity, but its prosperity will not last forever.
As long as he builds his own country, his generation will not be able to do it, and his descendants will have a chance to return to the Central Plains.
Su Lei is not as good as Su Shu, so let his son be better than Su Shu's son, and his grandson be better than Su Shu's grandson.
He saw transport trucks one after another on the roads of Constantinople, transporting goods to Western Europe.
The supplies on the car before were all kinds of ammunition and weapons.
Nowadays, there are a lot of miscellaneous grains. The logo on the bag shows that they are mainly hybrid noodles made from corn flour, potato flour, cassava flour, and soybean meal.
This kind of hybrid noodles is sold extremely cheaply in the empire, and its main uses are for brewing wine and as feed.
But because the output is too high, there is still a large amount of inventory in the granary every year.
Su Lei saw that the transport truck was all filled with mixed noodles. This situation was not normal.
Europeans like to eat pasta, and normally flour should be the main food.
However, the price of flour is much higher than that of mixed noodles. If flour is used for disaster relief, it will be difficult for the victims to eat it.
Su Lei saw the newspaper report that Prince Su Shu suggested replacing all flour with mixed noodles.
This kind of food that nobility and upper class people do not eat can fall into the hands of disaster victims.
Any nobleman who eats this kind of mixed noodles will be laughed at by his peers for eating pig food.
"The prince only knows these little tricks, but he is far inferior to me.
If I become the prince, I will perform better than Su Shu."
Su Lei returned to his station, holding cigarettes one after another in his mouth, waiting for a call back from his mother.
The next news was crucial to him.
The smoke inside the house was so thick that it could kill mosquitoes.
Su Lei covered the earphones with his left hand, waiting for a familiar signal.
As the look of disappointment on his face grew stronger and his mood became more and more anxious, he finally heard a familiar signal.
Su Lei immediately concentrated and recorded the contents of the telegram on paper.
"Su Lei, waiting for the order to return to Beijing."
The content of the telegram was very brief. After Su Lei translated it, he stood up excitedly and ran out of the room laughing.
He looked at the sunset on the horizon and realized that his life was nothing like the sunset.
The queen mother has informed him of her intention to return to Beijing, which means that things are developing in a good direction.
For a prince like Su Lei who was exiled to the frontier, the intention of recruiting him back to the capital at this time was already obvious.
He was in a relaxed mood, waiting for the telegram from the capital, and at the same time sipping tea, looking leisurely.
Su Lei's men felt relieved when they saw their lord's condition.
The Lord's previous state was like a balloon that could explode at any time.
These people have been deeply tied to Su Lei.
After Su Lei loses power, they will also live a homeless life.
The beeping of the telegraph made Su Lei tense up.
Before he receives the exact order, everything will change.
Su Lei listened nervously to the contents of the telegram.
When he heard the last beep, he breathed a long sigh of relief and slumped down on the table. His clothes were completely soaked with sweat.
The news that the queen mother received was correct. The content of this telegram was the intention to summon him back to Beijing.
Su Lei regained his composure a little and clenched his fists.
"Everything will be better."
…………………………
Paris, Royal High Command of the Army.
The ticking sound here is non-stop, as orders are being conveyed and reports from various armies are being received.
The Royal Army implemented strict military control in Europe.
Each army is responsible for an area, eliminating local rebels and cultivating local militia.
Because we don’t know how the various regions in Europe will be divided into national boundaries, and who will this region belong to in the future?
Everyone must take it seriously and do their part.
The three commanders-in-chief Lu Chenyang, Bai Yuangui, and Wu Ming, who had been busy dealing with the aftermath of their respective defense areas, as well as the top brass of the Royal Army, had a rare gathering together.
They received news in advance that the imperial court would issue a transfer order related to them today.
They were chatting, everyone was distracted.
Everyone's eyes drifted to the telegraph machine in the corner from time to time.
They looked worried about gains and losses, which is a very normal state.
The imperial court learned of Europe's victory and responded quickly.
First, let the Royal Army impose military control on the occupied areas, eliminate all rebels who dare to resist, and stabilize local order.
Then came the imperial court's rewards for ordinary soldiers and low-level generals.
The imperial court reviewed the battle reports and confirmed their authenticity through various channels.
The war has just ended and the troops have not yet returned to the country.
The imperial court's reward has already been issued.
The silver reward is unambiguous, and those with sufficient merit will be promoted immediately.
Merit is consistent with the award of noble titles, and the court is not stingy.
Ordinary soldiers of the Royal Army spoke highly of this war.
Their opponents are not strong, and their own casualties are very low.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The imperial court rewarded them quickly and generously.
The imperial court's rewards for ordinary soldiers were generous and processed quickly.
But for senior generals like them, rewards should be much more cautious.
None of them had any objections to their promotion.
There is only one thing they care about most.
As a country that led this war and destroyed so many people, can it reach the threshold of becoming a king and get the opportunity to enfeoff overseas?
This is an opportunity to build a country overseas and create a country of your own.
Whatever the future holds for this country?
Their family's heritage far exceeds that of others.
This is also the time to prove their abilities to the world.
This is the highest honor bestowed upon them by His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire.
Commander Lu Chenyang is more confident than others.
His meritorious service in this war is definitely ranked first.
He could not gain His Majesty's approval, and neither could anyone else.
Even if there is only one quota, he will be recognized by His Majesty the Emperor.
Commander Lu Chenyang took a deep breath and turned the topic to what everyone was most concerned about.
"His Majesty the Emperor personally promised to divide the vassal states.
For quotas in these vassal states, priority must be given to the founding heroes.
However, most of the ministers who can really gain the reputation of the founding heroes of the empire have already founded the country, and only a few are still in the country.
Do you think we, as the heroes who opened up the territory for the empire, have any chance of getting enfeoffment?"
When Commander Bai Yuangui heard this topic, he said expectantly: "Before the imperial court enfeoffed people, they always enfeoffed them to desolate areas, and it was up to these princes and kings to create their own kingdoms.
They are either facing a barren land, such as Zhao Cao and other countries, or they have owners of this area and need to rely on their own abilities to solve it, such as Wei Min and other countries.
But even the most dangerous Fujian country, the Ottoman Turkey they encountered in the early days of the founding of the country had very limited strength.
Now that we have secured this mature land, we can directly take over the legacy of a mature country without much investment.
The land area should not be divided too large, otherwise this country will pose a threat to the empire.
There are more places, so I think we have a good chance.”
Commander Wu Ming looked forward to it: "If this is true, then everyone will be happy.
But the number of enfeoffments allocated by the imperial court this time includes not only the founding heroes, but also adult princes.
There are only three or four places at most that can fall into our hands."
When Supervisor Mi Yu heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Three or four places are too high. I don't think it is possible."
When he said these words, those who had been discussing it enthusiastically immediately fell silent.
Seeing this situation, Commander Lu Chenyang said helplessly: "The imperial court's order will be sent soon.
The answer will be revealed by then, let's wait quietly and don't be too anxious."
The room immediately became quiet, leaving only the gasps of the crowd and the ticking of the telegram.
They feel that time has passed very long, and their hearts are filled with anxiety.
The ticking telegraph machine began to type out tapes.
When everyone heard this sound, they could not pretend not to care, and immediately rushed to the telegraph machine, waiting for the final result.
Lu Chenyang saw the confidential staff officer and handed over a translated telegram.
"Master Lu, this is the imperial court's order for you."
Lu Chenyang received the telegram and only remembered to read the contents of the telegram.
Emperor Su He issued the order, and the Governor-General stamped it to confirm.
He resigned from the position of commander-in-chief on the day the order was issued and immediately returned to Beijing before the New Year.
Lu Chenyang saw the exact order and the court's urgent request for time.
He already understood the imperial court's intention of letting him return to Beijing.
Except for accepting the canonization of Emperor Su He during the New Year, other military matters will not be so strict.
Chief of Staff Zhang Lei glanced at the telegram curiously. He clasped his fists and congratulated: "Master Lu, I am very happy to have achieved what I wanted."
After Chief of Staff Zhang Lei finished speaking, everyone also understood the potential meaning of this telegram.
They all congratulated Commander Lu Chenyang.
Their emotional intelligence is not low, and Lu Chenyang has been a comrade who has worked with them for many days.
Once they can create a powerful country, their family may have a new way out in the future.
Lu Chenyang smiled and accepted blessings from others.
He is in a particularly comfortable mood now.
The telegraph machine continued to operate, and soon the second telegram was completely received.
Everyone except Lu Chenyang looked at the confidential staff member with fiery eyes.
The confidential staff officer faced the eager gazes of these people and showed a helpless smile.
"Master Bai, this is your telegram."
Bai Yuangui's hands trembled slightly as he took the telegram.
When he saw someone about to say a blessing, he immediately stopped him and said: "Don't worry, everyone, the telegram may also say other things.
You wish me your blessings first, if it hadn’t been for this, I would have been very uncomfortable.”
Bai Yungui felt anxious and read the contents of the telegram.
I saw that he was relieved of his duties and asked to return to Beijing before the New Year.
Bai Yuangui took a deep breath and adjusted his expression.
"Everyone can bless me, maybe we can still be neighbors in the future."
Everyone saw that Bai Yuangui also got the opportunity to be entrusted overseas.
While they send blessings, they are also jealous in their hearts.
But there is a faint sense of expectation in my heart.
Now the Royal Army has obtained two quotas. One has two, and most likely three has four. They all have a chance.
The sound of the telegraph tape reminded me again.
Everyone's breathing became heavier.
Wu Ming looked at the confidential staff and yelled in his heart.
"Hand it to me, hand it to me, hand it to me quickly."
He thinks that Lu Chenyang and Bai Yuangui have already obtained their quotas.
The third spot must belong to him.
However, the confidential staff officer walked up to Supervisor Liang Feng.
"Master Liang, this is a telegram for you."
Liang Feng looked a little stunned and took the telegram and read it.
When Wu Ming saw this situation, he immediately broke his guard.
He looked at the confidential staff officer and scolded: "Did you make a mistake in this telegram?
With my qualifications and achievements, how can I fall behind Liang Feng?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liang Feng was very excited after reading the telegram.
He really didn't expect that he would also get this spot.
He is the first person in the empire to be qualified to establish an overseas country as a military supervisor.
He almost laughed out loud when he heard Wu Ming's question.
He somewhat understood Wu Ming, but on this occasion, he must not fall into a disadvantage.
This is not a person who has disgraced himself, but a person who has disgraced Emperor Su He.
Liang Feng said angrily: "You are comparing our qualifications with me. Back then, I climbed the Chencang Road with His Majesty the Emperor, establishing Sichuan and Shu in one fell swoop and laying the foundation for the rise of the empire.
The performance of the First Army, the Second Army, and the Seventh Army on the European battlefield is obvious to all.
In terms of merit, I am not inferior to anyone."
When Liang Feng said these words, Wu Ming was immediately speechless.
Lu Chenyang saw something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he immediately stood up to maintain order.
Wu Ming calmed down his angry and jealous heart and continued to wait for the telegram.
After the confidential staff officer received the telegram, he did not send it to anyone, but said it directly.
"This telegram is the Metropolitan Governor's arrangement for the Royal Army's defense change."
After Wu Ming heard this, his face turned pale and his quota was gone.
The rest of the people were slightly disappointed, but they didn't show any signs of despair, because they knew that there was still a long way between themselves and this quota.
The Royal Army received the telegram, as did the Royal Navy.
Commander Zhan Tie stood on the deck of the battleship Qin Shi Huang, shaking the telegram in his hand.
"I will definitely keep your help in mind.
But the imperial court only gave us one spot in the Royal Navy.
I am about to build a country overseas, and those who are willing to follow me will surely become rich and prosperous with the country."
Zhan Tie did not celebrate grandly, he directly notified the fleet to return home.
