The rebellion in the Nor Empire has been going on for nearly a year.
As the pace of Dragon City accelerated, the focus of the Intelligence Bureau's work once shifted to the interior of the empire, while the external attention was relatively reduced. [Search for the latest updates here.]
Zhou Yunfei had several exchanges with the Director of the Intelligence Bureau, Jia Xu, and specifically talked about some things about the Noer Empire.
At the earliest, there were obvious signs of interference from other forces in the rebellion of the Nohr Empire, but relying on the powerful intelligence agency, no clues were found, which made both of them cautious.
The Intelligence Bureau has a small team that is responsible for collecting information about the unrest in the Nor Empire. This was specially ordered by Jia Xu, because he believed that things in the Nor Empire were definitely not as simple as they seemed.
Regarding the latest news about the Nuoer Empire, even when Dragon City was launching the northern campaign, it was still being passed back to the rear from the Nuoer branch and handed over to the person in charge.
All this information was screened, and the relatively important ones were selected and handed over to Jia Xu. Therefore, Jia Xu was still able to grasp the situation of the Noer Empire as soon as possible.
The Northern Campaign came to an end. Jia Xu knew that Longcheng would temporarily stop its military expansion and digest the occupied territory, so he immediately shifted part of his work focus to overseas surveillance.
The situation in the Nor Empire is already very dangerous. The arrogant and extravagant behavior of the royal family and nobles has made the already flaming empire even worse. Finally, last winter, the big nobles in some areas forcibly collected the winter grain of the fiefdoms, which led to this huge crisis.
change.
The first conflict to break out was in the southern region of the Nohr Empire.
This area is far away from the capital of the empire. Over time, the great nobles here have gradually formed a circle of their own. They have gradually become alienated from the northern core forces of the Nor Empire. In addition, the empire's national power has gradually declined, and the royal family's ruling power has been greatly reduced. Therefore, these areas are actually
It is equivalent to independence from the empire.
Last winter, some nobles forcibly expropriated the common people's grain reserves for the winter, which aroused a new round of public outrage. According to the past trend, these nobles call them mobs and untouchables, and they can easily be dealt with by just using their power.
But this time, it was not as smooth as before.
At first, a few civilians who couldn't survive formed a gang and rushed into the house of a local baron with farm tools, hoping to beg for winter grain so that they could have a way to survive. But the baron did not agree.
Known far and wide for being stingy, it is of course impossible for him to spit out the benefits he eats.
The people were about to revolt after asking for nothing, but the Baron had already notified several nearby noble forces. After a while, the family members and soldiers rushed over with ferocious looks.
These common people were eventually captured by several noble private soldiers and imprisoned in prisons awaiting trial.
If this wasn't nothing, something even more abominable happened later.
The Baron in charge, a few days later, a farmer's daughter who was imprisoned came to the Baron's house to intercede for her father.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the appearance of this woman, the baron became evil and took possession of her! When the news spread, the local people were angry. They tried to ask the baron for an explanation, but he got
Sarcastically.
In anger, the people ransacked the baron's house. They killed all the baron's family and rescued the imprisoned farmers and others.
This move completely broke up with the local nobles. In order to prevent them from being wiped out by the nobles, they had no choice but to follow a dark path to the end.
Their action soon attracted a crusade from the nearby nobles. However, these peasants, who were considered completely unworthy of mention, actually defeated several fairly good private soldiers of the nobles one after another.
Encouraged by them, oppressed people in the southern region began to flock to this magical militia.
There are more and more people, and a lot of ambitions have been added to everyone. It is really surprising that this group of wandering soldiers can kill one noble private soldier after another.
It was from this aspect that Zhou Yunfei became aware of it, because he did not believe that a group of farmers who knew nothing could achieve victory. He felt that there must be a dark hand behind this.
The Intelligence Bureau is also increasing its attention in this area, but so far, they have still not been able to find any definite evidence.
This can only show that the other party has a detailed and complete plan. This sentence was said by Jia Xu, which shows that the rebellion in the south of the Nor Empire is not that simple.
The rebellion in the South was like lighting a fire on a dry prairie, burning instantly.
The intrigues among the nobles made the northern inner circle of the empire not send troops to exterminate the rebellion as soon as possible, but wanted to use this to weaken the strength of the southern noble circle in disguise.
The best opportunity was missed, and the entire empire was plunged into a state of war.
For a time, the entire Nohr Empire was in riots, the severity of which shocked the personnel of the Nohr Intelligence Branch. A big deal, absolutely a big deal!
Just like how Dragon City instigated civil war in Byvost!
The methods are exactly the same, which is surprising.
The rebellion was like a fire, completely igniting the entire Nor Empire.
Rumengfangxing Imperial Capital was helpless in the face of the rebellion that spread throughout the empire.
It was obviously too late to mobilize the army. The only thing they could do was defend one-third of an acre of their land.
The precarious situation has left the Nor Empire facing the same situation as the Alton Empire not long ago.
Not only that, the Byron Empire would not let go of such a good opportunity.
Art Byron decisively ordered his own border and crossed the border between the two countries. The army advanced and completely ended the southern circle of influence of the Nor Empire.
As the starting point of the rebellion, the earliest rebel army maintained a relatively ambiguous posture with the Byron Empire's border troops.
In fact, their approach directly gave Art a perfect excuse. He did not hesitate to use the army to help the rebel army continue to fight in all aspects. He was very simple. Where could he find such a good thing?
The split or destruction of Nuoer seems to be a certainty. At least in the eyes of other emperors, Sunset Nuoer has already rotted from the inside.
A new era is quietly coming, with the destruction of Alton, the civil war in Byvost, and the empire of Nohr in danger. All of these are like catalysts, stimulating the ambitious people to take action little by little.
Dragon City is naturally no exception.
Although Zhou Yunfei did not intervene in the disputes of other countries prematurely, even the previous April War was just under the slogan of revenge for Zhou Yunfei. The final result was a bit unexpected. Zhou Yunfei was surprised that such a large empire was cannibalized and divided in the blink of an eye.
. He had to admit that there were many smart people in this world, and even more ambitious people!
The old empires Byron and Oakley both intervened in Alton, which could not help but alert Zhou Yunfei. He will inevitably confront these two powerful empires in the future, so he must be extremely alert, otherwise he may be swallowed up if he is not careful.
Not even a scrap is left!
Don't look at the fact that Dragon City is now the only one in Byvost, overwhelming everyone. But if Dragon City is faced with a complete empire, it really won't work.
This is the difference in background. Dragon City is still too young.
The chaos in the Noel Empire has become the stage for the game among the largest powers on the continent. Seeing that another Alton Empire is about to be born, there are quite a few people who are interested in getting a piece of the pie.
Everyone wants to take advantage of this fire to get some benefits for themselves.
Some want to expand their territory, such as being close to the Noel Byron Empire. After so many years of eyeing it, they can finally realize their ambition.
As for the Eastern Oakley Empire, because it was too far away, it could only secretly put some obstacles in the way of the Byron Empire and gain some benefits.
More, it's like Zhou Yunfei, secretly trying to get benefits in his own pocket.
Since Dragon City's main focus is still on Byvost, it can only operate secretly during the civil strife in the Noel Empire.
Longcheng has dealt with Noel before, and the relationship between the two parties was relatively deep\u201
Interest relationship, so when the royal family was unable to quell the civil strife, someone thought of the new upstart in the northern continent, Dragon City!
This proposal is very tempting. No matter who it is, both parties are attracted by this proposal.
Zhou Yunfei, who was far away in the far north fortress, received news from the Intelligence Bureau that the Noer Empire intended to hire Dragon City troops to help the empire quell the civil strife!
This statement made Zhou Yunfei hesitate.
To intervene or not to intervene, this question may be directly related to the development direction of Dragon City in the future.
According to his previous assumptions, the Byvost Empire was the foundation of Dragon City. And after the Northern Campaign, Dragon City was in great shape. As long as Zhou Yunfei digested the northern region and integrated resources, it would be able to exert its power dozens of times better than it is now.
Double the energy!
But the temptation of the Nuoer Empire also made Zhou Yunfei feel itchy.
It's like a hungry man who sees white flour steamed buns and chicken legs at the same time. When he can only choose between the two, should he choose to eat white flour steamed buns or eat delicious chicken legs?
Zhou Yunfei was hesitating because he knew that every decision he made would affect the direction of Dragon City. Locked in a room alone, looking at the huge map of the continent, Zhou Yunfei thought silently.
Diao Chan stood outside the door, looking at the closed door, quietly waiting for Zhou Yunfei to appear.~
