He played a major role in the great cause of reviving Rome created by the Isaurian dynasty; including but not limited to defeating the so-called iron wall of Lombard heavy cavalry in the battle to regain Ravenna; and in the attack and defense of Aachen.

During the battle, the Frankish Iron Guard was defeated and the court members were captured...

Therefore, when Charlemagne crossed the Western Continent and the Frankish Kingdom was short-lived and finally collapsed; these soldiers of the Seris Regiment were also greatly wooed and rewarded by the then Empire Caesar/Emperor Leo IV, and even

Encourage prominent families in the empire to marry into them.

As a result, a group of families with the surname of Seris were formed in the resurgent empire. Even Leo IV himself married a noble daughter of Seris as his queen; this opened up what was later known as

During the Seris Dynasty, the Lin family's relatives were regent and in power.

However, the period when the Seris dynasty with a strong oriental flavor was in power led to the dissatisfaction of the local nobles and the division of public opinion in the empire; eventually, the Western Empire and the Western Empire were divided after a civil war centered on the Italian Peninsula where ancient Rome originated.

Vail Royalty.

As the commander-in-chief and hero family of the first-generation Crusaders, the Western Empire royal family also attracted some of the local naturalized Seris nobles; but there were also some Seris nobles who were unwilling to get involved in the civil war between the Eastern and Western Empires, and left the emerging Western Empire.

The Lan Kingdom settled down.

The ancestor of "The Terrifying Lord" Li Xingke was one of them. But later, during the succession war when the White Iris Dynasty replaced the Acacia Dynasty, he moved back to the Western Empire. Then one of its branches joined the church.

, studied theology and military science for generations;

After reaching his generation, because of his effective performance, he was invited by the queen to teach the young prince King Lieri. In the series of political turmoil and palace disputes after the death of the previous king, he firmly supported and protected the young king Lieri.

Until he became an adult and took charge...

Therefore, in addition to being very particular about his diet, he is stoic to the point of self-abuse. He only likes to be authoritarian and reject dissidents. He treats any potential enemies and obstacles with very cruel and cruel methods; just by cutting off the family in his hands

There were hundreds of courtiers and provincial nobles.

Among them are even the Queen Mother, who is said to have an ambiguous relationship with her, and the royal lady Ana who was born in a noble family; Bolent, the close friend and playmate of the prince's brother Grand Duke Jilian who grew up with him; all of them are among the spies and spies he has recruited.

In the eye liner network, people die of hatred or commit suicide in fear.

During his thirty years in office, he used the power of the Luo people to build a large number of public facilities, including bridges, roads, shipping and irrigation. He also single-handedly built the kingdom's postal post and public transportation, as well as the school system in various cities, providing services for the kingdom's navy and navy.

The foundation of the overseas colonial system was laid.

Therefore, whether it is enemies at home or abroad, or the country's subjects, royal nobles, they all use the term "Terror Lord/Scarlet Cardinal" to describe the era he ruled. Therefore, when he finally died in Maple Leaf due to gout caused by eating too much seafood,

When we arrived at the pavilion, the whole country was in jubilation.

As a super metropolis that brings together dozens of provinces and special cities across the country and the best parts of the industry, the residents of Seine City also follow the traditions of the classical Roman era and the citizens of Constantinople in the East; on the one hand, they discriminate against any foreigners. People, on the other hand, lack respect for the royal power.

Therefore, what they like and are passionate about most is to give those high-ranking figures various well-deserved or ironic nicknames; for example, those who were mishandled and lost their footing, leading to the complete collapse of the situation. The deposed king was nicknamed the "King of Pots"

Another example is that he is known for his extreme luxury and romantic affairs; he is known to support thousands of jewelers, tailors and other vassals in the city of Seine; therefore, he has become the symbol and main culprit of the financial collapse of the dynasty, and is called " The Princess of the Eastern Empire in "The Bus Queen".

Because, in the various versions of folk stories, she not only had many lovers, but also liked to gather people for lewdness with the Black Mass. She claimed that all male creatures inside and outside the royal family would have the opportunity to taste her beauty; thus, it became popular in all major circles. Comparison of buses in the provincial postal transportation system.

After all, the kingdom's relatively complete postal carriages, which are densely distributed among provinces, cities, and towns, were gradually established when the "Terror Lord" was in power. They are famous for their slow movement and long mileage. They claim that as long as they give a small amount of money, they can It can carry anyone for a certain distance.

For another example, in the Boragero Castle/monastery, Archbishop Aramis, who most likely faked his death as a cover, transformed into an alien and hid behind the scenes, and runs a secret society to this day, was also the terrifying minister. subordinate, and has connections with the secret agent organization he controls.

In fact, it was in the hands of this terrifying minister that what was originally a loose spy organization in charge of the capital area and nearby royal territories, as well as various spies and informants, turned into an organization that frightened most people, including enemy countries and nobles. This is a secret situation of the royal family that even the upper class is worried about.

However, as time went by, there was a clear and continuous reversal in the evaluation of the Horrible Lord/Scarlet Cardinal. Even later, it was regarded as a symbol of the kingdom's heyday, and it was continuously commemorated and cherished for a long time. , and even give rise to specialized ideological factions.

Because Fulgen, the successor to the royal court and the Council of State as the chief "generous person", overturned many policies left by the "terrible minister" and restored the status of many nobles who had been denounced and punished. Of course, he was praised by everyone. For a while, it also laid the foundation for the dynasty's undoing.

In the end, Fulgen, the longest-serving and most popular "generous man", died of heat on a Seine river cruise ship because he was obese and overweight; he was suppressed by the powerful means and iron-blooded authority of the "terrible minister" Many contradictions and hidden dangers also quickly broke out.

This caused a series of political turmoil and financial crises that lasted for decades. It also experienced the "miser" chief secretary of state who liked to consult gypsy witches in private; restructured finances and expanded tax powers; and used Hebrews as personal consultants. The "cruel people" are planning to sell legal power...

With the frequent changes of positions in the centuries-old orthodox war, and the successive military defeats suffered by the kingdom's navy and army; and the huge deficit of decades of colonial development without any gains or feedback, the dynasty's finances have finally reached an irreversible level. degree of maintenance.

When Chief Secretary of State "Luxurious" Thuringen, who was born into one of the country's top tycoons and had only been in office for seven years, had his house confiscated on the grounds that his pomp and etiquette had violated the royal family; then, the "rapid changer" Arend, who succeeded him, had his house confiscated due to drastic political changes.

But he was assassinated in the street and failed...

It has been reduced to the point where it is necessary to rely on various means of generating income through selling official positions and distributing titles in order to maintain the White Iris Dynasty; the collapse and demise of internal rule is already an inevitable result. And the "Terror Lord" established the school.

The results become the biggest driving force.

On the other hand, as a result of the wanton sales of official positions and the indiscriminate issuance of titles, the status and value of the original knight/jazz class have been greatly devalued. This has mainly caused serious dissatisfaction among grassroots officials in other provinces. Various inefficiencies and inactions have also caused

Further exacerbating material shortages and worsening the situation.

In the end, huge contradictions and disagreements arose out of control, leading to the "May Storm" in which hundreds of thousands of citizens of the capital and all walks of life came together to overthrow the royal power.

The Blood Moon Massacre that killed the Zhongmenmen...

When Jiang Tian recalled this point, he saw Rafaro pleading again: "Look, can I start serving as a second lieutenant, ah no, a warrant officer? As long as I can lead a troop, I can..."

"No, no, just saying that would be a waste of your talents and qualifications." However, Jiang Tian shook his head and said, "I think you should have better choices and roles. For example, return to the capital as my messenger,

Recruit like-minded people and provide them with a way out?"

"I can give you five thousand crowns as settlement fees and travel expenses." Jiang Tian then looked seriously into his eyes and said, "If you don't mind, I can also send someone to help you."

How about taking the individual people you care about to the south and settling them down?"

"You... are so generous, I'm really flattered." However, when Rafaro heard this, he took a big sip of strong coffee and smiled bitterly: "But you are not afraid that I will just take the money.

Should I go back or not, or should I take this news as a step forward?"

"..." Jiang Tian couldn't help but laugh, and looked at what he said word by word: "I don't think that the senior Rafaello in my memory who took the lead in everything is only worth a mere five thousand crowns;

What's more, I can't see what is there about them that is worthy of you doing this?"

"Okay, maybe you are right!" Rafaro was stunned when he heard this, but he solemnly put down his knife and fork, straightened his appearance and clothes, and faced Jiang Tian and saluted respectfully: "Former Major of the Royal Army

, Rafaro. Jean Ando Venero, from now on swear allegiance to you..."

When the dinner was over and Rafaro stood up to say goodbye, Jiang Tian slowly drank the coffee with a lot of honey and cream and smiled slightly. Even if the other person was an old acquaintance of his, it would be inappropriate to join the Free Army directly.

That will only undermine the existing basic fairness.

But if he can go back and resume his duties, bring corresponding talents to the Free Army, and hand over enough sincerity and surrender certificates, he can naturally be freed from the suspicion of spies and informants sent by the capital; or even if he was ordered by others, it doesn't matter.

Yes. So this is also a test and trial.

On the other hand, due to current needs, with the expansion of the territory and army size of the Free Army, the training mechanism for middle- and high-level officers has seriously failed to keep up. Therefore, currently, it can only be passed through battles one after another.

Selection and promotion are based on performance on specific battlefields.

Therefore, the appearance of Rafaro also allowed Jiang Tian to see another channel and opportunity. If he could find those old acquaintances from the Capital Military Academy; or his comrades who fought side by side and rushed out of the capital, even if only a small part of them survived

teacher; can also serve as an instructor in a certain sense.

Then before setting off again, another piece of good news came. The 200,000 Ecu special bonds initially issued by the Free Army in the rear had been sold out. And this small test of the waters also meant that the Free Army was

The Provence region has initially established credibility.
