King of The Wall

Chapter 699 You are responsible for leading the way

Igor straight to the point.

"I won't say unnecessary cruel words, and ending the war as soon as possible is what everyone wants to see. As a sign of sincerity, I can promise: Reach princes who have survived the war, whoever is willing to lay down their weapons and surrender Accept punishment, and I will protect their lives."

Protecting lives, isn't this the bottom line of surrender? Margaery both hands crossed near chest, resisting the urge to roll his eyes: "So, what about punishment?"

"War is not a family game, of course you have to take responsibility and pay the price for oneself's choice. For those who stand in line Those who mistakenly supported the false king, and still think about the people who can preserve their titles and territories after the war, I give them a word - whimsical!" Igor began to list the details, ignoring Margaery's somewhat ugly face. "I've combed through the list, and regretfully found that: so far, no Reach nobles have sworn allegiance to the Queen, which means: all Reach have chosen the wrong side, and none of them will be charged with treason."

Igor's tone is full of regret and helplessness, pretending.

No one in the entire Reach supports Queen, which is actually what he wants to see, and even promotes it with harsh conditions.

“Among them, the territorial castle has been occupied by our army, the parent has been killed in the war and there is no adult child to inherit the family business, deprived of all land, title and property, and removed from the ranks of nobles.”

He said it in a cold tone without a trace of emotion—things that have not yet been obtained need to be negotiated, and no one who has eaten in their mouths should let him spit them out. And among the people he mentioned above: those who are dead have no life to resist, those who are separated from the land and the people lose their strength, these two types are naturally the softest persimmons, and he will have Reach "oneself people" to pinch them.

"The Yu Family, with Earldom as the unit, needs to cut 30% to half of the Fiefdom in addition to the normal proportion of war reparations - the specific number depends on the amount of their contribution in the rebellion, which will cause damage to our army.

The casualties and the level of distress are determined.”

Using Earldom as a unit means that he Igor only finds the lords of count Level 1 to settle accounts, how to divide the war reparations and cut land within Earldom, and thus make a mess Jumping is their oneself thing.

"My Tyrell family doesn't have such a big face." Margaery's eyelids twitched, and he finally couldn't help but say, "Land is the lifeblood of the nobility, and even if we coordinate this, there will inevitably be a large number of families with All kinds of conspiracies are conspiracy to resist execution-"

"Wait until I finish." Igor remain unmoved, "Theoretically, there must be a considerable number of combatants, who must be clothed in black cloth to distribute Wall and even beyond. The wall can only be exonerated. But the Queen is merciful and decided to give many lost people a chance to repent and redeem their sins: as long as each family sends elite soldiers and strong generals, bring their own food and equipment to participate in the next Westeros against the slave-master city-state. In war, the crime of treason is written off, and even the punishment of cutting land reparations can be reduced, waived or returned depending on the size of the military merit."

equivalent to let all Reach... Atonement.

That's about it.

The Reach people are just demoralized, but if they are under the banner of the winning side, they still have the ability to continue fighting.

However, just as Margaery's face softened a little, Igor's next words broke her again.

"The premise of this series of conditions is that the requirements I made when I was in King's Landing remain the same." He pointed across the table to the stack of lists in front of Margaery, revealing an unintelligible expression. With a smile, "All Reach nobles who have entered the red circle on this list and have not been expelled after the war must be invited by the Queen to move to King's Landing for a period of at least two years."

"See Come on, are you biting to death to make this joke?" Margaery was a little crazy, the man in front of him was obviously a smart man, how could he be so unreasonable in this matter, "Then may I ask, 'Move your family to King's Landing'? One operation, should it be carried out before or after the end of the war across the narrow sea?"

Since this bastard has made up his mind, oneself must at least ask the key points clearly.

Igor grinned: As expected of Little Rose, the speed of discovering Huadian is not ordinary.

"Before."

"Before?" Margaery raised his voice a stanza, "that is to say—the whole process of the next battle for the Queen in the Reach princes In the middle, the wives, children and children of the front-line soldiers will all be under your control; whether their sacrifices and bloodshed can be justified, the amount of indemnity and compensation for their military merits can be waived or returned, and it is up to you and the Queen to decide; we Even if you have opinions and dissatisfaction, you can only knock down your teeth and swallow them?"

"I guarantee with my personality that the military exploits of the Reach Army in the slave-master coalition will be judged openly, fairly and justly. And measurement. Of course, if you think my personality is unbelievable and you have to say it so badly...I have to answer honestly: yes."

Yes?

She had never seen such a shameless person!
The full anger was ignited with a bang, even briefly overwhelmed the cautiousness of the defeated, but after all, it quickly cooled and extinguished before reaching the peak and showing it - it is not helpful to lose your temper in the situation at this moment, Margaery slowed down. He loosened his clenched fists and said coldly and calmly: "I am afraid that a considerable number of families will swear to the death and resist to the end under such conditions. I suggest that the Prime Minister carefully consider and cancel or at least relax one or two of them."

(There will be some families who will resist to the end?)

Igor almost laughed: Isn't that right?

He was worried that Reach had surrendered as a whole and didn't know who to kill.

There is no such thing as a rebellion. Anyone who wants to fight will fight, and if they want to vote, they will vote!

He wouldn't say such arrogant words, sneered and stared at Margaery's pretty face for a few seconds, then he asked back: "Ms. Margaery, where do you stand for this suggestion? What does it mean?”

What does it mean? Margaery feels that oneself can't keep up with Igor's ideas: I, as the "Crown Princess" of Reach, came to negotiate with you on behalf of the Tyrell family, should I consider the issue on the Queen's side?

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I don't understand what you mean."

Seeing Margaery's frank confession, Igor doesn't want to be more evil either. He snorted: "It's my fault too, I didn't finish my sentence. Remember the question I asked you just now: 'Should it turn into dust and become the dust of history, or embrace it with open arms'?"

" Forgive me to speak bluntly, Lord Prime Minister." Margaery once again resisted the urge to show a disgusting expression, and said softly, "Your conditions really make me have no urge to hug anyone."

"That's right, all of the above conditions are aimed at all the Reach princes except the Tyrell family. And for my future close allies, there is another set of tailor-made plans." Igor's mouth twitched, With a wicked smirk, "The Tyrells will not be punished - neither title, Fiefdom, or possessions. You will remain Lords of Reach, and you will still control the most fertile land in the heart of this green land, and you will still be It's the richest family in the Seven Kingdoms except the Lannisters...there's even a royal seat waiting for you."

In Margaery's eyes suddenly brightened for a moment, Igor deliberately sold a few After a second, he picked up the kettle and filled both parties with hot water.

“The position of Master of Whisperers has been vacant since Lord Varys was poisoned by thugs in Winterfell. Of course, Ms. Margaery, as Aegon’s 'pseudo-queen', is not suitable for this position, but... ...you can wash your oneself by converting to Red God or putting on black clothed, and then let your father or your brother take the name, and then oneself will help him behind the scenes... Be an invisible royal minister. After a long time in the palace, With a familiar face in front of the Queen, maybe she can be a female advisor who has no real title but can control major events in the country, isn't it beautiful!" He didn't make a sound, but the shoulders, neck and even the back under the clothes were completely frozen.

This condition, even for the Tyrell family in normally, can be called "good", even more how is the moment when the rebellion failed and the army was on the brink of destruction?

"So, what's the price?"

"Just one -- get your ass on my side." Igor knew it was a pun, but he didn't care , "What they said is probably that: The Tyrell family needs to take the lead in surrendering to the Queen, provide intelligence information, take the initiative to publicize the legitimacy of the Queen's rule to the Reach nobles and residents, and strive for as many Reach nobles as possible to lay down their weapons and accept the terms of the peace treaty and the Queen's policy. Arranged, in the next war against the slave city-states, they actively contributed money and food, provided military loans, and even took the lead in the war. When the Reach nobles who were stubborn and determined to resist to the end appeared, they actively persuaded and mediated, and finally the diplomatic means failed. When the time comes, take command of the expedition, eradicate rebellion, etc..."

"It may be a little embarrassing for the Reach people to fight the Reach people, so you can rest assured that the troops who undertake the 'sweep the remnants of rebellion' mission will be transferred from the West Expedition Force The number of cavalry, infantry and artillery will not exceed 10,000, but there will be no shortage of everything that should be there. The Tyrell family only needs to hang a name, carry a flag, and act as a guide to lead the way." Little Rose's stunned eyes , Igor paused for a breath and continued, "If I don't have the heart to kill, I'll accept the Tyrell family's capture after breaking the rebel castle...but the cost of sending their family to the Wall and a foothold in the beyond the wall. The follow-up living expenses, but you will take care of it."

When the Queen's West Expedition Force attacked, he raised the banner and called all the princes of Reach to resist... After the defeat, he immediately transformed into Daenerys's Loyal minister, not only leading the way for her to subdue Reach, but also raising the sword against those who were bannermen, subordinates and even comrades and relatives a moment ago?
What will the world think of the Tyrells?

Three hundred years later, they're still House Targaryen's loyal dogs - the only difference is that this time they'll be able to bite the bullet.

The aristocratic circle is a huge human society. Doing so is tantamount to a complete social suicide. Since then, it will be firmly bound to the Queen's war chariot to attract the hatred and contempt of all Reach for Daenerys. Jumping has become impossible!

The Tyrell family would rather share weal and woe with all the bannermen and endure this storm of Dragonlord as if they had survived the winter together. Extremely filthy trade, cut yourself off from the people of Reach, and leave behind the infamy throughout the ages!

Margaery wanted to point Igor's nose and yell at the words, but...

"If the Tyrells, with their modest sense of duty and high honor, reject this Proposal, I won't be angry." Igor put away his joking expression, and ended up sternly, "On the contrary, with reverence and respect, I will personally direct the attack on Highgarden, preside over the trial of Tyrell's house after the war, and watch After you put on black clothed and join the team heading north to the Wall, with the same agreement, you have no choice but to find the next family - the Reach family who is not so arrogant and tough.”
