Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 343 Reasons

Lorist once again looked at the large-scale map of the former Christian Empire on the wall, pondered for a long while, and finally shook his head: "No, this war is bound to conquer Queen Kerry who usurped the Antinac Kingdom. OK, no delay. Only by resetting the Second Highness can we buy time..."

"Time?" Fatty Shi blinked and was a little confused: "His Royal Highness, what time do we need to fight for? Everything is currently under our control. There is no need to let the tiger return to the mountain and let the Second Highness re-enter the throne. In fact, the Second Highness is in control Our control will benefit our family even more. We can even threaten Queen Kerry to let go of the trade routes of the Antinac kingdom and force her to give her forest port to our family...

If the Second Highness re-emerges on the throne, the fear and suspicion of our Norton family will still remain. Not only will we not benefit, he may also send an envoy to ask us to support him. The most important point is that your Highness, the Principality of Madras is about to perish, and soon the Northland will be integrated with the Antinac Kingdom instead of an enclave. I am worried that the Second Royal Highness will justifiably send his tax officials to collect tithes when he takes the throne.

This means that our family will pay a tax of hundreds of thousands of Golden Ford to the Second Royal Highness each year, and we must even disclose the number of our family’s fields to the Kingdom. Based on the disposition of His Royal Highness and his understanding of our family territory during this time, he knew very well that the pillar industry of our family was not in the fields, but in the factories and mines. He will definitely make ideas in this regard, and perhaps increase various taxes.

For the three of our allies, it is not a good idea to reset the Second Highness prematurely. They also have to pay tithes and avoid being mobilized by the Second Highness to mobilize their family legions to fight. The current His Royal Highness is in the North Land, and he has no soldiers and no power. Therefore, I am firmly opposed to conquering the usurper Queen Kerry. I think she is better than the Second Highness on the throne of the Antinac Kingdom, at least not a threat to our family. "

Lorist smiled bitterly and poured himself another glass of fruit wine, and poured it down in one breath.

"You are right, but the two harms are the lesser." Lorist's finger clicked on the map: "This year, we perished the Principality of Madras. The next time is only enough for us to carry out the territory. Replacement and residents move and settle down. But next year, we will attack the Iberian Kingdom, and Grand Duke Fesabrun is the biggest mountain in front of us! This old man is not only an old fox, but also a lion, an empire The title of Military God is genuine to him, and we must not be careless."

Lorist sighed: "During this period of time, I have been paying attention to all the information collected about the Fesabrunn family, and it turns out that I still underestimated this old guy. You know now that Archduke Fesabrunn’s How many people are there in the family’s armed forces? Nearly 240,000 people, almost all of the people are soldiers, they are indeed the gods of the empire, and they are well-deserved..."

"What are you talking about? Two hundred and forty thousand clan armed forces...it's impossible. The Fesabrunn family simply can't support so many people and horses. They can't raise so much food and grass in Muyeyuan and Eastern Desolation Provinces alone... …" Fatty Shi doubted whether Lorist was alarmist.

"I didn't lie to you, it's true." Lorist returned to the desk, opened the drawer and took out a thick file and placed it in front of Fatty Shi: "They don't need to raise grain, because they can Go to rob, rob the grass-barbarian tribes on the northeastern prairie. And when the grass-barbarian tribes surrender, they can use trade to get a steady stream of cattle and sheep from the grassland."

"Remember the first arms deal with the Fesabrunn family? Princess Silvia ordered one hundred thousand sets of Type 103 cavalry equipment, plus the fifteen thousand redeemed at the time. The soldiers of the Border Rangers are worth two million cattle and sheep, and the term is five years. At that time, I was very happy, thinking that I could turn the eyes of the Feisabrun family to the northeastern prairie to meet the grass-man tribes To die, in order to looting cattle and sheep, there must be casualties, which can also reduce the threat to the north.

I was wrong. In fact, the Frontier Rangers of the Fesabrunn family had already killed the grass barbarian tribes on the Northeast Prairie. This is a piece of information from Tagore, and he eventually bought a few eyeliners from the Feisabrun family. According to those eyes, before the arms trade with our family, 20 or 30 grass-barbarian tribes on the northeastern prairie became vassals of the Feisabrun family. Not only do they have to offer cattle and sheep every year, they also send the elite of the clan to serve as soldiers for the Fesabrun family.

There is a report in the folder, which is a list and analysis of the transactions of the Fe Sablon family over the years by the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce chaired by the Earl of Kenmax. After reading this report, I realized that the Earl of Kenmez was complacent. The annual transaction with the Fesabrunn family gave the Snow Salt Merchant a profit of over 100,000 Kingford, even our family accounted for only 10%. Dividends of 10,000 to 20,000. Only now did they know that what the Feisabrun family did was to resell their goods to the grass barbarian tribe on the prairie.

Looking at the large amount of snow salt and daily necessities on the list, none of us realizes this. How many people are there in the two provinces of the Fisabrun family? The maximum is only 500,000, but the amount of snow salt and living materials consumed each year has exceeded three times that of our family territory, while the total population of our family territory was close to one million... In my opinion, Fisabren When the family gathered cattle and sheep to plunder the grass-man tribe, they actually just organized a caravan to conduct transactions. The actual sending of troops is only for the surrender of the Caoman tribe, not for robbery and massacre.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Grand Duke Fesabrunn will play a big game. We worry that the Grand Bus of Fesabrunn is good for the four principalities of Central China to open up new trade routes. In fact, it is the Feysabrun family who is adding one for themselves. Insurance. The commodities sold to the prairie are now provided by the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, which is produced in our northern region. But once we cut off this trade route, the Fesabrunn family will no longer be able to trade with the grass-barbarian tribes on the prairie. What about the grass-barbarian tribes who lack supplies? They will take up swords and guns to carry out captives again, and the Fisabrun family territory will bear the brunt of the war.

Therefore, the Grand Duke of Fesabrunn united the Four Central Duchy to destroy the Principality of Melaine. One is to eliminate the hidden dangers behind it, and the other is to open up new trade routes. Then even if we refuse to deal with him, the Fessabrun family can still get from the Central Four. The Principality has an adequate supply of materials and commodities. As long as it is ensured that the prairie will not be unrest, the Fesabrunn family can turn their attention to the places they are concerned about, such as the Jinchuan area..."

Looking at Fatty Shi who was listening to his long talk, Lorist poured himself another glass of fruit wine.

"Perhaps in your heart, you will think that Archduke Fesabrunn is just a prince who is out of breath, swinging from side to side, betting on both sides, and a person who protects his life. But after I met him, there was always an instinct to remind me, He will be the most dangerous enemy of our family. It is not that his rejection of my marriage with Silvia made me hate him, but I discovered that he is a real hero, full of ambition. Anyone who underestimates him , Will suffer a big loss."

"His Royal Highness, it's not that I don't believe your assertion. If Grand Duke Feisabrun is like you said, after we captured the second prince and left, Windbury King City was in chaos. No one can call the shots. Such a good opportunity is a good opportunity for Fei. The Grand Duke Sablon left the royal city and returned to the family territory only a few months after he became the lord. This shows that he has no ambitions at all and just wants to protect himself. If he is a real hero, he will rely on the power of the family to cleanse the nobles in the royal city and integrate the kingdom. The power of the Iberian Kingdom and the regency in charge of the Iberian Kingdom.” Fatty Shi retorted.

"This is his cunning. Think about it. If Grand Duke Feisabrun does what you say, what will be the consequences? First, he has to transfer all his family armaments to Winston Province to suppress The resistance and rebellion of those territorial nobles will be a long-term fire pit that consumes a lot of family resources and armed strength. Even if he wins the final victory, he will get a devastated Winston Province. What is the use of the loss?

Think about it again, the Principality of Melain was still there, and would *snap* him from behind at any time. As an old rival, Grand Duke Melaine will certainly not let go of this opportunity to beat the dog in the water. Also, will our four Northland families give Grand Duke Feisabrun a chance to reorganize the kingdom? At that time, Viscount Christopher had just suffered defeat in our hands. He and 15,000 soldiers became prisoners. Facing the aggressive military forces in the North, retreat and patience were the best choices.

After Grand Duke Feisabrun returned to the family territory, he immediately asked Princess Silvia to come to our Norton family territory. On the one hand, he redeemed the captured soldiers and signed a five-year armament agreement with our family. We all thought that Grand Duke Fesabrunn was showing us good, showing that there was no hostility to us, so we did not pay too much attention to the Fesabrunn family, just like you think, treat him as a wise man and just want to continue. The harmless old man of the noble family passed down.

Now I understand that Grand Duke Feisabrun, the old fox, is really a coup to withdraw from the King City of Windbury! As long as he did not move, Grand Duke Melaine would not dare to invade the Iberian Kingdom and easily resolved the crisis behind him. The King of Windbury gave his daughter to his daughter. After the queen came to power, the nobles from the southern province fought to the death with the lords of Winston, and the kingdom was in chaos. Even we think that the Kingdom of Iberia will automatically fall into our hands like a fruit that will ripen at any time, so we also sit and watch the kingdom remain crumbling to the present...

Wrong, we are all wrong, all this is the plot of the old fox. He knew very well that as long as he was hidden behind his back, we would not easily touch the fruit of the Iberian Kingdom. The Fesabrunn family has time to finish their arrangement slowly. When we expedition to Haneabada Islands, the Fesabrunn family also took the Jinchuan area into their arms as they wished. With the gold-rich Jinchuan, Grand Duke Feisabrun finally let go of his hands and feet and turned his attention to the Iberian Kingdom. "

Picking up a black file on the desk, Jia shook it, and Lorist sighed: "This is the report submitted by Tagle on the Fesabrunn family. It is a pity that the few eyeliners he bought and developed are in the Feysabrunn family. The middle status is too low to involve some secrets, such as how much gold can be produced in the Jinchuan area each month? They don’t know what Grand Duke Feisabrun will do next... But seeing some of the information they confessed is enough Let us be wary, the strength of the Fesabrun family is extraordinary!"

Pass the black folder to Fatty Shi: "Look, too. I said that there are 240,000 people in the Fei Sablon family. You still don’t believe it. The eyeliner revealed that Grand Duke Fei Sablon has organized four formal border defense tours. Cavalry regiment, a regiment of 42,000 people. So Princess Silvia came here for the second time and purchased 70,000 sets of 103-style cavalry equipment. At the same time, 50,000 sets of mosaic-style warrior equipment were purchased to form two A garrison, a corps of 24,000 people. One of the corps is deployed in the Jinchuan area, and the other is in the Eastern Desolation Province.

In addition, there is a reserve ranger regiment of about 28,000 people in Jinchuan and Jinchuan. It is worth noting that this legion is composed of the strong and powerful grass-barbarian tribes who surrendered to the Feisabrun family. They also often attack the grass-barbarian tribes on the northeastern prairie that are not willing to submit. Promote to the regular frontier ranger regiment and assign them to the standard equipment our family made for them. As a reminder, more than half of the four border ranger regiments formed by Archduke Feisabrun were recruited from the Grass Barbarian tribe. "

"You mean that Grand Duke Feishabrunn's recruitment from the grass-barbarian tribe has reduced the population pressure in his family territory?" Shi Fatty asked.

Lorist nodded: "I used to think that the total population of the Eastern Desolation and Makinoyuan Provinces under the rule of Prince Fesabrunn was only five to six hundred thousand people. The size of the three frontier ranger regiments could be maintained by the Fesabrunn family. It’s done my best. So I didn’t put Archduke Fesabrunn in my eyes, thinking that they were not aggressive enough to keep themselves. When our family attacked the Kingdom of Iberian armed forces, Archduke Fesabrun will surely retreat. He didn't dare to tear his face with our family, he would sit and watch the Iberian Kingdom perish.

But I didn't expect Grand Duke Feisabrun to have this trick. The recruitment from the grass barbarian tribe doubled the strength of their family. I have always believed that the three frontier ranger regiments of the Fesabrunn family will be deployed one in each province, and only one regiment can be mobile and responsible for reinforcement. But only now I discovered that the four border ranger regiments and the reserve ranger regiment under Grand Duke Feisabrunn can all be pulled out to initiate an offensive initiative. What a powerful force the light cavalry of nearly 200,000 horses would be!

In the past, the Fei Sablon family had no money, so we could only sit back and watch our Northland recruit a large number of refugees from the Southern Province and Winston Province. It also made us ignore the threat of Fei Sablon. Now the size of Jinchuan has fallen into his hands to fill up a plank that the Feisabrunn family is short of. Therefore, after the demise of the Melein Principality, the Feisabrunn family moved 100,000 men and women to the Eastern Desolation Province.

Last year, after we got the news that Grand Duke Fesabrun was going to hold a knight tournament in Windbury, we always thought that his purpose was for Princess Silvia's marriage, but I felt that something was wrong after contacting him in the past. It was not until the news of the demise of Melein duchy that the old fox was also fighting the idea of ​​the Iberian Kingdom.

After the demise of the Melein duchy, Archduke Fesabrunn once again took control of the Iberian kingdom can form an alliance with the four central duchy, and the transportation from the north to Winston and Makinohara is only two chain bridges, which is very easy. Can trap us in the Northland. Another purpose of the Grand Duke Fesabrunn holding the Knight Tournament in the King City of Windbury is to test the remaining strength of the nobles and lords of the King City and see if it can cause trouble for him to enter the King City.

Time is very tight for us and Grand Duke Feisabrun. The reason why I insisted on attacking the Principality of Madras first is to open up another channel, and to expand the strategic depth of the Northland, and also to be able to The borders of the Hinderson Mountains threaten Winston Province. This year may be the last calm time. When we complete the last arms deal with the Fiesabrunn family, there will be a great possibility for both of us to fight in Winston next year...

I also want to suspend the arms trade with them, but no, it is not a question of integrity, but I am worried that once this arms trade is suspended, Archduke Fesabrun will immediately take over the King of Windbury and sweep Winston. Province, the soldiers are in the north. And we, because of the replacement of family territory, are not yet ready to attack. Once the two chain bridges are blocked, we can only launch an offensive from the border of the Hinderson Mountain Range in a big circle, which will put us in an extremely disadvantaged position.

The war with the Feisabrun family must be preemptive, attacking Winston Province first, capturing the King City of Windbury, and then marching into the Southern Province, so that the initiative can be held in hand. If there is a war with the Fei Sablon family in Winston Province, then the Grand Duke Fei Sablon will most likely receive continuous support from the four central duchys, and we don’t know when this war will drag on to the family. Said it would be a catastrophe. "

After a pause, Lorist murmured: "It is for this reason that I decided to let the Tiger Ross lead the Flying Tiger Legion to conquer the Andinac Kingdom first. When the Second Highness regained the throne, I was most worried. It will be the Four Duchy of Central China and the Business Alliance~www.readwn.com~ They will pay close attention to the every move of the Second Highness, so as to reduce or abandon the support to the Fisabrun family, which will provide us with the occupation of the Southern Province. It is convenient. As long as the communication between the four principalities of central China and the Fisabrun family is cut off, then the Grand Duke of Fisabrun will not escape our palms no matter how much he jumps..."

Fatty Shi was silent for a while before he said: "His Royal Highness, you are very reasonable. But I was dizzy and couldn't tell which is the best choice. But I still think that resetting the Second Highness is like a pharmacist. It is often said to fight with poison, maybe he will cause us more trouble than Grand Duke Feisabrun."

Lorist smiled bitterly: "I just want to send him out of the Northland sooner, so as not to mess with us all the time in the Northland. Since there is still use value, let him reset and play. With his character, he was taken by the Central Four Principalities. Defeating the business alliance is the greatest shame. Before he completes his revenge on the four central principalities and the business alliance, he should not cause us trouble. As for the tithe issue you mentioned, I will let Kenmez The earl went to see him, and on the condition that we immediately send troops to help him reset, let him reduce or exempt the four major families in the Northland for three years of taxation as compensation for sending troops. I think he will agree. As for what will happen after three years, let’s talk about it then. ."
