Chapter 220 The Fanatical Aristocracy 1
From any angle. General Hughes, the current governor of the Armenian Military Region, can be considered a real figure in the Byzantine Empire. And it is still the top class.
If you make a list of "the hatred in the emperor's heart", then Governor Hughes will be one of them. And there is no doubt that it will be in the forefront.
The Armenian Military District is formerly composed of the city of Merika as the center plus the surrounding six cities and dozens of villages and towns. Iron ore is also abundant in Armenia, which makes the comprehensive strength of the Armenian military region enough to rank among the top three military empires in more than fifty!
And what worries the royal family even more. The Armenian military area is too close to the capital of Oscar. It is a military area from the Imperial Capital Territory. If it goes well from Merika City to Osquilia, it takes only three days to seal the throne!
I am afraid that no such emperor can sleep well beside a couch.
Governor Hughes was less than ten years old. In a general sense, it is the most peak period of a man's power, with enough experience and rich experience accumulated over the years, but not old enough.
What also worries the royal family is that the Governor Hughes can indeed be regarded as an excellent leader. His family owned the Armenian Military District for seventy years until he was the third generation. And among the three generations of governors. In his hands. Armenian Military District's strength reaches its peak, the Armenian Military District under his rule is more prosperous than in the era of the Governor
As the third generation of the family, General Hughes possesses considerable wisdom. His character also has the advantages of success: decisive and tough, ambitious and will show enough cunning when compromise is needed.
It is worth mentioning that the Governor Hughes still has a "feature" that is widely spread among the upper empire.
Although his official position was the Governor of the Military District and he also had the rank of Imperial General, Governor Hughes was never a qualified soldier. In his history. He had only experienced one war in a war that led the Emperor to fight the Odin invasion when the current Emperor Cantos was young. In that war. Hughes, who was still in the army at the time, was the father of Hughes at that time. As the deputy head of a banner regiment, he experienced that war. And experienced the only battle of his life in the war. The battle ended with the defeat of the Emperor.
The only thing Hughes learned in that battle was that the Odins were going crazy far more wildly than you think.
This became a flaw in his character: in his life he always held an indescribable fear of the country of Odin. Although he hides this fear deep and deep in weekdays. It can be said that Governor Hughes is the kind: lack of tough leadership on the internal iron fist rule.
Another characteristic is that General Hughes seems to have been born with an irresistible longing for "nobility".
That is. Although he is nominally a soldier. Is an empire general is a governor. But he seemed to want to be a true noble at all times.
Yes, this Governor Hughes is a standard "noble control"
Even in everyday life. He strictly demands himself by the standards of a nobleman
It can be said that if you do not know Governor Hughes then you will feel that he is more like a nobleman than the 90% nobleman of the empire!
First he paid great attention to etiquette. Basically, the etiquette and manners of the nobleman were almost completely executed in his life. He likes to wear Chinese clothes and also learned the noble kind of benevolent "kindness". The definition of "noble kindness" is that he may often show his kindness to some low-class people. But this kindness just for the sake of showing does not mean that he really shows compassion just to show his kindness properly. He may occasionally say a few words of kindness to his groom or even the gardener and even pat the other's shoulder affectionately, but the real effect of his kindness is to remind him: I will always be a master. And you will always be a servant. I can occasionally show that my kindness can be great and if you dare to forget your identity then you are overtaking.
In addition, Governor Hughes pays special attention to aristocratic lifestyle. For example, he is very picky about food and clothing. He likes to hold a banquet in his magnificent Governor's mansion after each prayer day. He would wear the most traditional aristocratic gowns and even fake on some major festivals.
And Governor Hughes ardently yearned for aristocratic culture and civilization. Everyone knows that true nobility pays great attention to "tradition" and "family glory". Regrettably, there is no proud tradition in Governor Hughes's home: his family and Gan Gu have only two generations today. His grandfather was the first commander-in-chief of the Armenian military area. "When his grandfather was young, he was only a big man who was fighting in the army. He only made use of the opportunity of war to find his father and even his grandfather. He didn't learn to write his own name until he was twenty years old, and by the time of Governor Hughes, Hughes had learned at least three languages and would write poems in aristocratic style.
Even in order to satisfy the "noble dream" in his mind, he once heavily hired the empire's first-class heraldic experts and historians. It seems that he has passed a series of incredible studies to try to prove the ancestors of his family from his ancestors. Possessing noble descent: under the influence of large gold coins, some scholars succumbed to the ancestry of some ancient kings on the ancestors of Governor Hughes. Of course, more people think that this so-called present is basically fabricated. However, Governor Hughes didn't think so. He spent more money for those experts to verify the noble blood lineage and various traditions, and also revised a thick genealogical tree. The Code is even thicker.
It can be said that Governor Hughes is a heterogeneous governor of all military regions. On the one hand, he is the governor of the military region and the beneficiary of the Tema military region system. At the same time, he must strive to safeguard the interests of this group. On the other hand, Governor Hughes seems to be somewhat out of character with those governors. He prefers to make friends with those aristocratic classes.
In this regard, he is actually a very contradictory person. Because everyone knows that the presence of the military district governors is to fight against the imperial royal family. The aristocracy is a loyal supporter of royal rule.
and so. If Governor Hughes really wants to be a downright nobleman, then he must truly be loyal to the royal family.
What embarrassed Governor Titus on the other hand was that he did not have a true aristocratic head.
Until now, the title on his head was only the lowest level title of "Lord" and was not even recognized as a true noble title at all.
Everyone knows that Governor Hughes dreamed that the emperor could give him a true noble title and even one in the upper empire. Joke: If the emperor wanted to lift the threat of the Armenian military region, he would not have to be armed, and he would only have to promise the title of Earl or Marquis of Hughes. Perhaps the governor of Hughes would come down.
El Salvador and Hughes are old acquaintances, so he knows the special hobbies of this colleague. After killing the imperial capital, he led people all the way into the Armenian military area and escaped from the chase behind him. Finally came to Merika City and came to the Governor's Mansion.
Although El Salvador urgently needed to meet with Governor Hughes at this moment to discuss important matters, he was politely informed by the steward in the dress of the Governor's House: The Governor was using afternoon tea to please the distinguished Lord El Salvador. The Governor will come to see him immediately after changing clothes after using the afternoon tea.
Watching the steward dressed like the court director. El Salvador endured his anxiety.
He was familiar with Hughes and knew that this guy was avid aristocratic teatime **** of thrones about the aristocratic life. It is sacred and inviolable in this guy's heart.
However, El Salvador and his party still received generous hospitality from the Governor's House. Everyone got food and rest.
During the breakout, less than sixty people in El Salvador rushed into Merika.
Several of the sixty people were also taken care of here.
At the moment in the small conference room of the Governor's House, El Salvador was only taking care of the two trusted guards around him, as well as two women, Adeline and Defeny, rubbing their tied wrists and sitting helplessly in a chair, looking depressed. .
It took exactly half an hour before Governor Hughes finally appeared.
The governor, who is less than fifty years old, is slender and tall and looks much younger than El Salvador. His face was the slightly sickly pale that the nobles dreamed of, and he even trimmed a neat beard with a dark beard on his left cheek.
When the Governor Hughes entered the parlor room. His first move was not to greet El Salvador. His eyes fell on the two girls for the first time, and his eyes suddenly lightened. He walked quickly past El Salvador to the two girls and had an elegant smile on his face. He nodded slightly, owed his hands, and held Definy's hand to signal a standard non-standard kiss salute: "It's a pleasure to see your noble Highness." Taking a step back and pulling Ai again Delin's hand made a kiss salute: "I hope that your two Highnesses will be happy here and I promise to stay here. The two will be treated in accordance with your status."
El Salvador cried and laughed not just to watch Hughes coldly complete his "aristocratic" etiquette. Finally, when Governor Hughes finally turned and faced himself, El Salvador stepped forward and hugged him. Hughes seemed uncomfortable with this hug. In fact, the nobles who had an identity in his understanding never greeted him with this slightly vulgar etiquette.
"I need to talk to you right away
El Salvador stared at Hughes's eyes. This person who has always been familiar with this has known everyone but they have never been friends and never were.
"I know you're in a hurry." Hughes didn't panic. "But I'm not in a hurry."
Next, the "Governor of the Noble" actually pretended to be embarrassed with the two female highnesses for a long time to compliment each other's beauty for a while and talked about a few topics about the weather. Adeline and Defeni were also obviously embarrassed. Their identity was that the captives of the rebels were lambs that fell into rivals, but the Governor Hughes seemed to be the manner of entertaining two distinguished guests at the banquet.
When Salvador's face became more and more ugly, Hughes finally ended his aristocratic performance. He seemed to be satisfied with this process, and slowly raised his hand to summon the worn butchery housekeeper: "Take Two distinguished ladies go down to rest and give two of the best courtesies to please our guests. "
El Salvador frowned immediately. He didn't expect to see this guy. He just wanted to take these two important prisoners out of his own hands, but he hesitated a little hesitantly in his heart and acquiesced. Construction site.
"Okay, now we can start talking about business." When the two girls were taken out, El Salvador's voice was very low and everyone who knew him knew it was a sign that the adult's patience had reached a critical point.
"Don't worry. My friend." Hughes sat down slowly, he took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled. "In fact, I have made all the preparations for my elite infantry regiment yesterday. With all the preparations in place, I hope this news will effectively relieve your anxiety. "
Salvador breathed a sigh of relief and looked slightly better.
"But I also have a problem. Hughes still has a smile on his face:" I only have 20,000 standing troops and I now have 40,000 troops in the capital Ostrolia. This does not include other central standings that have gathered quickly after hearing the news. corps. What do you think I should do? I can mobilize more troops but you know my territory just suffered a snowstorm last winter. My food shortage and
"Enough." Salvador interrupted Hughes coldly. He stared at Hughes: "I think you understand what we are facing now! The old lunatic with a crown is finally crazy! Now is our best Chance! The emperor wants to wipe us all out of Hughes! All !!! This is a war This is a formal declaration of war All the governors of the Tema Military District will be involved! I need your army to set off an offensive against Osgil Ya made an offensive gesture! Because you are a military area away from Osgilia! You must immediately march into the throne of the Seal of God to show our tough attitude! Let everyone in this empire know our supporters of the Tema system We will never compromise !!! Do you understand !!! "
Hughes smiled.
"I don't want to remind you that I also understand that because of the location of the Armenian military area, the old emperor will clean up the capital while he will quickly gather all the forces in his hand to attack here!" El Salvador sneered: "A corps of the city guard added The upper Yulin Army and the second and ninth regiments that have just been reorganized have a combined strength of more than 60,000! These troops will appear under your eyes as quickly as possible! The emperor will first try to level Armenia and take him by his first step. The biggest threat is eradicated. So you can hug me here or pretend to be honest with me. To be honest, I hate your aristocratic tone. You are not an aristocracy at all. No! You know very well that this aristocracy hates We despise us! In their hearts, we, Governor 1 of the Military Region, are just a group of thugs www.wuxiaspot.com Hughes finally smiled and said slowly: "As you said, the emperor will gather at least 60,000 The strength of our army, the Armenian Military District, is not sufficient to face the three central standing forces alone.
"You are not fighting alone." El Salvador promised: "My territory is already mobilized. My army will be promoted as soon as possible. At the same time, all of our fifty-four military regions will display theirs. power! Of course, Armenia will be compensated to some extent as a pioneer. El Salvador said here, he took a deep breath: "I personally make a promise in the future, once the conquered Osquilia, then the original Oscilia and the Imperial Capital Territory will be placed in your territory in the future! You can get the greatest male city in the world as your house! Although this is only my personal commitment, I promise that when we need to make a collective decision, my allies and I will support this proposal. I want to add you and your allies. We have more than half of the votes at the round table. Up
"A" very exciting proposal. "Hughes squinted. He had a smile in his eyes:" Osglia. Miracle as my "future new home in Armenia sounds like a good proposal."
