"Hiss..."

Gavin's excuse made everyone in the Political Affairs Hall gasp. Carus then slapped the table and cursed: "You are a naked declaration of war! You are a robber! The two countries also signed a treaty. Are you not afraid of temple sanctions if you do this?"

How could Carus not be angry? According to his vision, even if the Fierce Wind Dynasty Army was going to fight, it would have to wait until the envoy returned. At that time, the two countries had to grind it, and with the preparation time for the troops to be dispatched, it would have to be at least three or four months later. Berwick is now like a ripe peach and others to pick it. It is not difficult to destroy Berwick in these three or four months. At that time, they had moved to Berwick and left a bunch of messes for Zhang Ziqiang to clean up. Now this idea is shattered!

Gavin was actually helpless. Today he got two news, one was about the hot air balloon. Although the Kingdom of Al was blocked tightly and the news could not be conveyed, the civilians of the Kingdom of Al were well known to everyone. This news was not difficult to obtain. Gavin found out the details of the Stanlow War with a little inquiry. He was surprised and immediately realized the value of the hot air balloon, and also knew that the new small cannon was called a formation gun, which was much more powerful than the small cannon! He was planning to find a way to force Carus to hand over the hot air balloon production method.

However, the Qianfeng Dynasty sent messengers - now they have missions, so they can openly walk the teleportation array. The messenger said that King Zhengnan had received news of the heavenly level martial arts and formation guns from nowhere. He had already started to mobilize the army two days ago and was preparing to cross the Nusen River seven days later. Due to the emergence of a pump, the Kingdom of Al was not considered a barren land. King Zhengnan was preparing to destroy the Kingdom of Al this time.

Emperor Tren did not care about the destruction of the Immortal Kingdom of Al. Although he had a pump, he would not be able to fully develop the Immortal Kingdom of Al for thirty or forty years. What he cared about was that he could not allow the King of Enlightenment to obtain the formation gun.

But now the Fierce Wind Dynasty is fighting with the two countries in the north, and Emperor Tren could not send troops, so he had to draw out the Jindan monk in advance and prepare to go straight to the capital of Al and grab the things first.

Neith of Emperor Tren and King of the Conquest of the South did not know that all the technologies came from the Yanhuang family, so he naturally pointed the finger at the Royal Al. After Gavin combined all the information, he sent someone to send the latest news to Emperor Tren, and at the same time, he simply scared Carus first. As for the right and wrong between Emperor Tren and King of the Conquest of the South, it is not suitable to be exposed to the enemy country, so he said that what he said above.

"His Majesty Carus, this is just a mutual exchange between the princes of the two countries. What does it have to do with the contract? I don't know whether to say it or not!"

"Tell me!" Carus roared angrily.

"Your country is not as strong as a country, but actually its strength is not as strong as my Qianfeng Dynasty! Now open the window and say something, how many things you have been attracted by our great Emperor Tron, now you have two ways to go."

"One, you continue to resist stubbornly, trying to hit the stone with your eggs until our country's golden elixir monks arrive and slaughter one of the six major families in your country! Our country will naturally get what we want."

"Second, you have led the six major families to merge into our country. I can make the decision now. As long as you are willing to agree to this condition, I guarantee that you and your prince can be granted the title of hereditary duke in our country, and the heads of the other four major families can also be granted the title of hereditary first-class marquis! The fiefdom can be chosen by you!"

After saying the threatening words, Gavin advised with great sincerity: "You must know that even I am just a third-class count now, not me bragging here. A marquis of our country has a higher influence among the kings of your country than the king of your country! One is a tiled and the other is a complete jade! Please consider how to choose between the two!"

Before Carus and the four dukes could answer, the ministers below all replied: "Your Majesty, the foundation of our ancestors must not be lost, and we must not surrender!"

To be fair, although Gavin's words were a bit boasting, they were not too outrageous. On the entire continent, the Herald First Marquis of the Rainy Wind Dynasty may not be as good as the monarch of the Kingdom of Al, but the Herald Duke must be higher than Carus!

The royal family of the Qianfeng Dynasty was very strong. Most of the nobles were born in the royal family. Therefore, they had strict control over the titles of outsiders. They could only be granted titles unless they made great contributions to the country. Among the nobles, there was another big gap between the hereditary aristocracy and the non-hereditary aristocracy! There is a saying that: "The hereditary is at the top of the third level." In other words, a hereditary third-class baron has a higher status than an ordinary third-class viscount!

The Crazy Wind Dynasty had strong protection measures for hereditary nobles. They did not give up titles unless they were serious crimes. They were inherited from generation to generation, and their heirs were recommended by themselves. His Majesty the Emperor could not stop them without a legitimate reason. However, ordinary nobles reduced their titles to a high level in each generation, which means that the previous generation was a first-class duke, and the next generation became a first-class duke.

In this way, if ordinary nobles are just people who are living a life of life and waiting for death, they will become civilians in a few generations, and the Qianfeng Dynasty is therefore particularly valuable for hereditary aristocrats.

In the Qianfeng Dynasty, the only hereditary title was the King of Zhengnan, who was first named when the founding country. Now it is in a state of great power. There are six hereditary dukes, all of which are branches of the royal family, and only forty-two hereditary marquis, and thirty-seven are branches of the royal family.

This is not counting. The biggest difference between ordinary nobles and hereditary nobles is that hereditary nobles have fiefdoms. In this regard, the countries on the mainland have learned from the Qianfeng Dynasty. Ordinary nobles even if they are dukes, they cannot own fiefdoms. They only have some preferential taxes. As long as the hereditary nobles fulfill their due national obligations in their fiefdoms, they also have absolute autonomy.

One is to pay taxes and the other is to set taxes. This shows the status between ordinary nobles and hereditary nobles!

Gavin gave the condition that several major dukes were granted first-class hereditary marquis. According to the rules, there should be a county as a fief, while Carus and Zhang Ziqiang were granted third-class dukes, and the fiefdoms should range from two to five counties.

You should know that the population of the Qianfeng Dynasty is over one million in any county. In other words, even if the entire country of the Al Kingdom surrenders, the six major families have a population of 800 to 10 million, which is even less than the current one. This condition is generous.

If this condition was put before the establishment of the Yanhuang family, Carus would agree ecstatically. Although Carus had certain ambitions, he could hold the thick thighs of the Qianfeng Dynasty and settle down in the center of the mainland, and could live a life of less than a few people or more than millions. What else could he say?

But now with Zhang Ziqiang and the existence of the Yanhuang family, he could easily destroy the Kingdom of Berwick. If he could become the lord of the Kingdom of Berwick, his status would be much higher than that of the Duke of the Qianfeng Dynasty, and at least it was comparable to their King of Conquering the Southern Conquest. The so-called desires are hard to fill, so how can people be content? He couldn't help but hesitate to calculate the gains and losses and successes.

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gavin had a certain degree of autonomy in the Kingdom of Al, but he did not grant the rights of six hereditary nobles at once. All of this was the instructions from the messenger to Tren's Great. The letter only mentioned that Carus was the duke and the other five were marquis. The current condition was that Gavin took the initiative to change the information he had inquired.

This was a decision that he made after careful consideration, and he also believed that as long as Emperor Tren knew about Zhang Ziqiang's role, he would be rewarded with him higher than Carus.

Emperor Tren was also quite helpless. Although he didn't know that there were hot air balloons, the heavenly martial arts and formation guns made him restless. No matter which of these two things was leaked, they would shake his ruling foundation.

After sending an envoy, Berwick's intelligence was delivered to his hands continuously. He also saw that Berwick was almost finished. If the Kingdom of Al was allowed to digest Berwick's territory and people, a powerful hostile country would appear in the south of his empire that was no less than the north! He thought about it repeatedly, and then attracted his think tank to analyze the matter.

It has to be said that Rochester is not the only smart person in this world. People may not have imagined the rogue method that Rochester can think of. After the analysis of the think tanks of Emperor Tren's Great, the result made him sweat profusely. This made him think about the way to deal with the opponent while facing the opponent, and felt that it would be wiser to use the means of wining against the Kingdom of Al.

He had thought that while Berwick was empty, he would take the lead in destroying him. However, on the one hand, he could not withdraw troops from the country, and on the other hand, he had to consider how to tear down the temple of peace.

Taking a step back, the Kingdom of Al could not rob him and allowed him to occupy Berwick's territory. In anger, he disclosed two major killing weapons. If the three northern countries were allowed to master these two major killing weapons, in this case of all-round use of troops, he would be in danger of losing his country!

The country of the Qianfeng Dynasty was not as calm as water. The last raid war exposed the collective corruption of the top leaders of the Northwest Army. The unexpected defeat caused continuous losses in the country, forcing him to sign a treaty with Berwick and transfer the Southwest Army to the north.

The unemployment rate of civilians in China is still increasing, and a large number of civilians are about to become refugees. Although the newly recruited soldiers have eased some of the crisis, it has also increased the military burden of the empire. There are also a large number of women, children, and the elderly who cannot make a living. Not to mention selling their children and daughters, no one wants to send their children to their children now!

In the past, the population crises in various countries had a slow growth, and they could be slowly digested as soon as a conscription war was launched. However, this time, the pump suddenly liberated the labor force, causing the population problem to suddenly break out and the crisis was in full swing. Emperor Tren was helpless in the face of this unprecedented situation.
