Starting from blacksmithing, riding and chopping Europe

Chapter 57 Ma'am, you don't want your husband to be defeated, do you?

After getting off the carriage, Ingrid saw a palace complex under construction.

She asked curiously: "Is that your palace? Has it not been repaired yet?"

"That's the Winter Palace." Feng Daofu said with a smile: "For me, the school is more important than the palace."

In fact, the prestige of unlocking the wonders of the Winter Palace is too high to afford, so the cheap university is built first-the building bonus not only needs to build the entity first, but also spend the prestige to exchange for the bonus.

Ingrid didn't know.

She looked at the rudimentary form of the palace complex, and it was imaginable majesty just by the size, and all rulers would be moved.

But Feng Daofu built the school first. Although she had experienced it many times on the road, she once again felt that her prospective son-in-law was different beyond his age.

Curiosity is getting stronger and stronger.

Ingrid wants to start the conversation with marriage: "About the Norwegian war"

But Feng Daofu deliberately interrupted: "Madam, you are tired from the bumpy sea, and you were slightly injured just now. Let's talk about these things tomorrow."

"By the way, we are the future family, we are all one family, so we don't need to be called respectfully."

His attitude was firm, and Ingrid had no choice but to follow the maid to the guest room.

Seeing the graceful back of his future mother-in-law disappearing around the corner, Feng Daofu raised his legs and walked to the rooftop, muttering, "It's time to prepare a fly swatter in summer."

Margaret and the blue tit were lying on a chair basking in the sun.

Next to them, Big Hairy and Longhair were teasing two babies, while Little Skylark and Ava were sitting under an umbrella reading a book.

Little Maoluo looked over there longingly, but because she was worried that the little cutie would hurt others, she could only take the snow fox to the side, patting the fox for a while to pass the time.

She was bored when she saw Feng Daofu from the corner of her eye.

"Master~"

Little Moluo immediately threw the little cutie aside, and stuck to Feng Daofu like a cat.

The snoring cutie shivered, and looked at the hostess resentfully.

"Hey~"

Called twice, no one paid attention to it.

The little cutie crouched in the corner dejectedly and licked her fur.

Feng Daofu stroked little Maoluo's blond hair, and walked towards the two mothers.

Before she could get closer, Margaret said in a sinister tone: "The saint doesn't care about the new female believers, so why are they coming to us?"

After having a baby, my personality changed.

Although the blue tit didn't say anything, she also smiled beside her.

Only Da Mao Luo remained as gentle as ever: "Master, do you want some milk juice?"

"Have a glass with honey."

Feng Daofu sat down next to Chang Maoluo, noticing that the introverted woman was half paying attention to the child.

He rolled her smooth long legs and said, "You guys should keep it up for a while."

Long Maoluo nodded silently, and Da Maoluo, who came over with a drink, also smiled a lot.

Drinking drinks, enjoying the services of the three little maids, and the priestess being weird online, and teasing the two girls, Little Skylark and Ava, from time to time.

Sitting on the roof like this for a while, the ocean in the distance is glowing with golden waves.

"It's so beautiful"

Margaret held on to the railing of the roof, glanced at the baby, and then looked at the sea in the distance: "I don't know who my mother is."

"I studied with the previous chief priestess when I was very young. When I was a teenager, I was busy all day long on how to be a qualified priest. I had to maintain the majesty of the priest and make sure that the rituals could not go wrong. It was not until I got pregnant that I found that I I missed out on a lot of good things.”

Call ~
The black hair was blown by the sea breeze.

The priestess pulled her hair around her ears and smiled back at Feng Daofu.

The blue tit, who had a very similar experience, was also a little touched, twisting the strands of blue dyed in her hair with her fingertips: "How do you plan to educate the child?"

Feng Daofu came to his senses: "Concentrate education and try to be as fair as possible."

He will not treat them and their children as tools. If others treat him sincerely, he will be sincere in return.

It's just that he himself doesn't know how long he can live, so it's enough to make a plan for these issues.

After chatting for a while, the studious red-haired Norwegian princess couldn't help asking: "Teacher, do you really want to form an alliance with Olaf III?"

Feng Daofu fed the milk to the foodie Little Skylark who was staring at him greedily: "The intention is stronger."

"why?"

"Because of the Norwegian Sea."

Feng Daofu looked at the ocean: "The main purpose of national alliances is to check and balance threats, not just check and balance power."

"The object of checks and balances is not necessarily the most powerful country, but the country that threatens the most."

"Threats have four dimensions: comprehensive power, geographic proximity, offensive power, and aggressive intent."

"Once Olaf III of Bergen is swallowed up by the golden-haired King of Sifor in southern Norway, the Norwegian Sea will be within his strong sphere of influence."

"Our current ocean trade bypasses the Baltic Sea and directly takes the Norwegian sea route. When King Blonde unifies Norway, just like southern Sweden and the Danes are stuck in the trade hub, our caravan will have to pay him tariffs in the future, and the profits will Reduction by more than half will greatly affect our development speed, so alliances are needed to check and balance."

The essence of colonization is the positive feedback of the capitalist model of 'advanced technology crushing natives—obtaining excess returns—further investing in advanced technology development—further crushing natives'.

The prestige brought in must be invested immediately, increasing the scale of the industry, absorbing more Slavs, rapidly expanding the population and labor force, and further expanding. This is suitable for the competition of raising Gu in medieval chaos.

In other words, grabbing money for development is not for development, but for grabbing more money.

But if the robbed money is stuck together and the positive cycle is broken, it will be very fucked up. This is a fundamental conflict of interests.

Dude finally found a bursting seed, and I can bear it with slow downloading, but you are stuck at 99% and not moving like a mountain, that is really unbearable.

Feng Daofu stayed for a while, left here to see Slude.

Received a few small fists, spent a lot of energy to appease, and supplemented nutrients by the way.

"It looks inconspicuous, but the yield is amazing. I wonder if this recessive trait will be passed on to children."

Vondorf burped, went to see the black-haired lady, and finally went to Brünnhilde.

The silver-haired girl is also nursing the baby, one on each side, so there is no shortage of places.

Feng Daofu is also not good at robbing his daughter, so he just talked with her.

Before I knew it, the conversation came up about the Norwegian War.

Brünnhilde said seriously: "I want to come together."

Feng Daofu understood her very well: "Do you think it's too boring?"

The silver-haired girl nodded.

Unlike the priestesses, Brünnhilde had unique hobbies and a yearning for adventure deep down in her bones. She couldn't move even though she was pregnant, but she also read military books and passed the gold-level military command skill seal.

The best solution is to let her continue to have children, but Feng Daofu is not a real animal, so he nodded and said: "Yes, I will take Ava to command the crossbowmen together."

Brunhilde smiled happily and gave him a big reward.

While the lord of Finland is living a peaceful life, this new land is also preparing for war.

The intelligence service headed by the first agent Willie had already been dispatched to the Nordic countries long before Finland was unified.

These are full-level elite soldiers carefully selected by Feng Daofu, with a large number of bonuses given by his specialties, and the rabbit instant telegraph system with him as the signal center, which smoothly spread the intelligence network throughout the north, northern Britain and other regions. Coastal regions of Central Europe.

The Norwegian branch has already sent the information on King Blonde's army, and the total number is about ten thousand.

This number is inconspicuous in the hometown, but in the northern world, it is already the largest scale that the Vikings can achieve in history.

For example, in 1015 AD, Canute led 8000 Danish soldiers to attack England to gain control.

At that time, there were 40 ships, and the average warship carried [-] people. The error was in supplies and baggage.

This troop scale is one of the relatively accurate records of the maximum number of troops used by the Vikings in a single mission recognized by history books, which proves the population size that this land can carry.

Strong men like the Black Prince in the past dynasties have always raised such a large number of troops.

The so-called tens of thousands of Vikings attacking Constantinople are too much.

Among the nearly ten thousand people among the blond king, there was a certain size of shock cavalry force.

A very counterintuitive thing: Although Scandinavia is not suitable for raising horses, the widespread use of stirrups in Northern Europe, including England, is attributed to the Vikings, who introduced stirrups in the 9th and 10th centuries. spread to these areas.

The reason is probably related to the Window of the East.

The northern world's Estonia, Livonia and Kurnia are metaphorical windows to the East, through which trade from the East flows.

Genetic analysis also revealed a link between Mongolian and Icelandic horses.

The Mongolian horse was originally imported from the Mao Bear by Swedish traders, and this import later gave rise to the Fiordland, Exmoor, Scottish Highland, Shetland and Conamara breeds, all of which are found to be associated with Icelandic horses are genetically linked.

There is a high probability that these advanced horse-riding technologies were also spread to the Vikings.

Vondolf cannot be seen in the North tribe, that's because this place is too remote.

With the establishment of a non-freezing port and the start of maritime trade, it was discovered that the Norwegians already had an early three-piece suit.

Relying on these, when the Vikings landed on land, they could replace their longships with war horses, transforming themselves into powerful and powerful mounted raiders.

However, due to the poor horse-breeding industry and the half-livestock/half-farming/half-fishing and hunting production method of Viking family farms, it was impossible to supply professional cavalry. Therefore, the main combat method was based on mounted infantry tactics, which were limited to chasing defeated enemies. and long marches.

T5 series of shabby iron-level cavalry.

As the main opponent of the blond king, Olaf III relied on the [-] guards drawn by Danish aid, and also mobilized another [-] militia, and the total number of troops was also nearly [-].

There are also cavalry, and there are still chain armor cavalry upgraded by Danish craftsmen, which are much richer than the blond king.

This is not enough to withstand it. It is purely because Olaf III's military ability was blown away by the blond king.

The explosion was so complete that my anus was raised day and night, and I could only seek help.

The size of Vondorf's army is not as good as the old King Blonde, nor is it as good as Olaf III who has a mother who is the queen of Denmark.

After more than half a year of expansion, his troops have only expanded to five thousand by relying on multiple training specialties, forming the first brigade.

It also absorbed a large number of Finns and Slavs.

The quantity is insufficient, but the quality is absolutely elite.

Referring to the fjord terrain, although it may have to face cavalry, it is still based on the relatively more flexible spearmen, coupled with crossbowmen, grenadiers, and five hundred pairs of heavy infantry at the bottom of the box.

——Spears are not suitable for Scandinavia. The reason can be referred to the Macedonian phalanx that was pulled by the Roman Legion.

There is no need to worry about strength and morale.

The only problem is time.

After ruling the Slavic clan and obtaining their farmland, Vondolf spent a lot of energy on agricultural reforms. Coupled with the bonus of farming expertise, it is foreseeable that there will be a bumper harvest this year. The development of the primary industry can significantly promote the secondary industry. Have a chain reaction.

All the premise is that the autumn harvest goes well.

Autumn harvest time is from early September to mid-October.

Five thousand troops is not considered an extreme recruitment, and it will not affect the autumn harvest that has been mechanized by animal power, but the soldiers will think about these things and distract themselves from the battle.

Therefore, the best combat status is about these two months.

In two months, he led an army of 3 to the southern part of Norway by boat, and then defeated the blonde king, grabbed the blonde king's territory, and backstabbed No. [-]'s father-in-law. It was a bit difficult.

But as long as you clear the level, you can ride the blond twintails and grow your family.

Time-limited activities, rich rewards!

Food supplies, ship maintenance, and ammunition reserves. The first brigade is preparing for war in an intense and orderly manner.

None of this was revealed to Ingrid.

Feng Daofu wanted to take advantage of the poor information to get some benefits from the new mother-in-law.

It is in one's own interests to intervene in the Norwegian War, but who would think that it would be too much to gain?
Moreover, the mother-in-law is half a mother. He is in the most important period of development, so it is very reasonable for him to ask her for more nutrition.

So during the Japanese dinner the next day, Ingrid mentioned the war in Norway several times, but Vondolf ignored him and expressed great doubts about participating in the war.

The anxious Ingrid's chest heaved as she ate two spoonfuls of white cream mushroom soup, biting the spoon hard with her teeth, as if biting someone.

Feng Daofu is very patient.

He has a big appetite, and he will not be able to fill it up for a while. He still has a lot of time, and he still has the leisure to discuss the doctrine of faith with Ingrid.

The conversation is translated as follows:

My prophet can divide the sea.

My prophet can also divide the sea.

My prophet dares to eat shit!
I. Vondorff was defeated.

The chat was very pleasant, but it still couldn't get to the point. This attitude also let Ingrid know that this trip will not be so smooth.

The blond nun knew the reason, and felt a little bitter in her heart.

If you don't come here in person, who would have thought that this place would develop so well.
A month ago, Olaf III analyzed with her: It is incredible that Vondorf can win a country within a year, and it is impossible to be very stable internally.

This is like Charlemagne and the Saxons, who first pretended to surrender and then rebelled.

The Saxon was able to jump up on his hind legs after being knocked down on his front feet. He put his hands on his hips and laughed and taunted Charlemagne: "Lose~Lose~"

Referring to this example, Feng Daofu, who also holds the banner of faith, probably has such hidden dangers within the forces.

He believes that in order to eliminate internal instability, Vondorf needs to launch an external war.

Olaf III said: "Based on this, we don't need to pay too much for this alliance. As long as we show sincerity, we can get a strong ally."

But when Ingrid personally set foot on this new land, she realized that her husband was very wrong.

Both myself and her husband misjudged and underestimated Vondorf's developmental abilities.

I thought I was still a child, but when I really experienced it, I was woken up by a stick, and I found that the other person had developed enough to make people call him daddy!

There are no internal hidden dangers in his control over the country, and the several clans are like brothers and sisters.

Ingrid is also a princess and a female scholar who has received a complete education. She has followed the Queen of Denmark for several years and has certain political qualities.

It was precisely because she knew so much that she understood how incredible this scene was.

Allowing so many clans to live in harmony and develop together, this is simply like following the Lord's disciples.
Although this is wrong, seeing the scenes of the city with her own eyes still gave Ingrid the idea of ​​blasphemy.

Lord, please forgive me...

The nun took a deep breath, endured the uneasiness of lying, and pretended to be calm and said: "You agreed to the marriage in the letter. To show your sincerity, I came here in person."

"Can we talk about marriage now?"

"Marriage is okay, but..."

Feng Daofu wiped his mouth: "How did I hear that Ma'am, you and Olaf III have no children?"

"!?"

Ingrid's heart trembled, and she subconsciously wanted to defend herself: "I don't know who you listened to, we"

"Ma'am, do you still want to insist?"

Von Dolf interrupted him: "Proverbs 6 says that there are six things that the Lord hates, and seven things that are an abomination to his heart. They are haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. Those who plot evil. A scheming heart, feet that are quick to do evil, a false witness who tells lies, a person who sows strife among brothers.”

Looking at those trembling gray eyes, Feng Daofu said: "Lying is not something a nun should do."

"Or, are the nuns taught by Heavenly Father nothing more than this?"

I'm not, I don't. Ingrid opened her mouth, and suddenly bowed her head decadently: "Yes, I lied, my husband and I have no children."

"But that's not a problem, he has many illegitimate children, as long as..."

"Ingrid, do you think an illegitimate daughter matches my identity?!"

Feng Daofu interrupted her again, aggressively as if insulted.

"I"

Ingrid was annoyed.

Why do I keep saying the wrong things today?
Feng Daofu thought it was because of the extra honey in the soup.

Originally, nutrients would be sucked out by two places, but now the sugar intake is suddenly too high, the blood supply to the brain is completely insufficient, and it is normal for the brain to slow down.

Just take advantage of now...

Feng Daofu stood up without a smile on his face.

Ingrid anxiously put her hands on the table and stood up. There was a shake in front of her, and the cross necklace could be seen faintly: "I am willing to make up for it!"

"compensate."

Vondorf looked at the black nun uniform.

It is said to be loose and conservative, but when worn on this blonde nun, it can only be said that it is far-fetched to be conservative.

Sensing the sight, Ingrid immediately realized something, and opened her eyes slightly: "You..."

She wanted to turn around and leave.

but
Ingrid pursed her lips: "I am your mother-in-law."

Feng Daofu snorted: "I admit that you are my mother-in-law and give you the best hospitality, but what have I got?"

Ingrid said anxiously: "I can use property to make up for it"

"You think I'll be short of money?"

Feng Daofu shook his head and interrupted: "I don't believe anything now."

"Alignment requires an entity as a basis of trust, but you don't have children."

"If the lady really wants to continue the alliance, I ask for an equivalent entity, isn't it too much?"

"Ma'am, I will only consider forming an alliance if you show your sincerity and let us regain the basis of trust."

"His Excellency Olaf III should have said that you should come here with sincerity."

"Madam, if it's because of you that I don't join the war, it will lead to a war."

"Madam, you don't want your husband to lose the battle, do you?"

silence.

The nun was silent for a long time, struggling several times in her heart, finally she could only sigh, and slowly grabbed the hem of the nun's dress.

Lord please forgive me.
A vulnerable aquatic insect lives in Finland.

They live in ponds with high aquatic vegetation coverage and water all year round, and play an important role in the stability and biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems.

If the local water environment is very good, some individuals will be very large.

The favorite habitat of these carnivorous insects is emergent plants, such as asparagus.

Summer is the time when wild rice plants bear fruit. As long as the water quality is sufficient and the bottom is warm and moist humus soil, the plants can grow vigorously and straightly.

At this time, the carnivorous insects will cling to it and face the ravages of strong winds, scorching heat, and heavy rains together.

When the heavy rain turns to continuous light rain, in order to replenish their strength, they will quietly lurk under the water, just waiting for prey to approach.

Once the target is within range, the attack is launched.

The huge individual will first clamp the prey fiercely with its crossed and shaking limbs, bite the head of the prey in one bite, and then inject terrible and viscous digestive saliva into its body.

The saliva also contains trace amounts of neurotoxins, which can make the prey stiff and immobile.

If the time is too long, they will foam at the mouth and die, so that they can enjoy the delicious food slowly.

They are also occasionally picky eaters, which is why they are a vulnerable species.

However, they were very satisfied with the fresh and tender bamboo shoots they encountered this time.

After spring and summer, a large number of new lives will probably be born to improve their fragile fate in nature.

"Madam, I have felt your sincerity and have regained the foundation of trust. We have formally married and formed an alliance. I will go to your country with the army you want."

Feng Daofu left.

It took Ingrid a moment to open her eyes.

"No one will know. It's worth the effort."

Just the thought of being able to escape the shadow of war, save the believers in the country, and allow the Queen of Denmark to carry out her strategy
There is value in giving!

Ingrid braced herself.

For some reason, she didn't hate him. Even when she agreed to the marriage, her impression actually improved instead of falling.

"Trigger expertise - blood is thicker than water, favorability of relatives +15, probability of success of strategies against relatives +25%"

"Trigger Doctrine - Ancestor Worship, Relative Favor +10"

"Trigger palace life-charm, fertility +20%, attract favor +10, seduce strategy strength +20%"

"Trigger Clan Inheritance - Family Inheritance Level 1, Fertility +10%, Favorability Attraction +5"

Ingrid's mind suddenly remembered that she told her husband that the child didn't understand anything and slapped him so hard that he got red all over his body.

The blond nun couldn't help thinking: Is he really a born prophet?
"No blasphemous thoughts!"

"Since coming here, the idea of ​​blasphemy has increased."

"After this time, never get close to him again"

The embarrassed blond nun clasped her hands in front of her chest, knelt on the cushion, and silently repented to God.

She didn't realize that her son-in-law never said anything about saving Norway.
　The average subscription has started to rise. Brothers are working hard, and buddies also set a small goal, stick to it for three days, and update [-] a day!
