The Ragged Prince bowed to Robert again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! I will pay the ransom for myself, and I will pay the ransom for my subordinates, but our money is in the bank of Myr, and we need to send someone to get it come over."
Robert: "No problem."
Stannis interrupted: "You and the officers and the soldiers who are still alive stay here, and you send some people to go with the royal fleet to Myr."
"It should."
Robert had the Ragged Prince stand aside, and he could identify the Mercenaries, if not behead them.
The king's side dealt with the dignified people, and the other places where the soldiers were dealt with were much faster. They dragged to the port, took off the armor and clothes, beheaded with a knife, and threw the corpse directly into the sea. The sea water in Tylosi Port was floating everywhere. Dead bodies, all kinds of fish that come to look for food jump up from time to time in the sea.
Or strip clean clothes, cut off limbs and pile them on carts, and the soldiers push them to the inner city to feed the dragons.
Soldiers from the Seven Kingdoms have settled into the dwellings in the city.Gathering loot, dealing with surrenders, etc. continued until the fifth day.
The ravens released by Tyroshi had already flown everywhere, and the pirates and mercenaries fled after hearing the news.Werther had a giant dragon more than 100 meters long. They would definitely perish in Longkou if they stayed in the Stone Step Islands, and they all began to flee north or south.
Werther looked at the statistics table sent by the military bachelor, there were only 38796 women left in the whole city of Tyroshi, and all the men died.
The cultural beliefs are completely different from the thousand-year-long campaign of the Seven Kingdoms, the long-term harassment of pirates, and the outbreak of hatred among the nobles. This is the only way to occupy Tyrosh, and all subsequent populations have migrated from the Seven Kingdoms.Witte looked at the entrustment list again:
"Robert, is this the final version?"
Robert: "Only the nobles of the Westlands and the Iron Islands are willing to come to this wretched place as long as they want spoils of war."
Renly: "That's their short-sightedness! They only see the desolation of the Stepstone Islands, isn't it Werther."
Werther: "Except for the small land area, this place is simply a treasure trove of geomantic omen. I can earn money while lying down!"
Robert drank the local pear brandy from Tyrosh, sticking out his tongue so hotly: "This wine is really bad. Werther, you are the Duke of the Stepstone Islands after you. What do you think of the entrustment list?"
Werther looked at the names on the document: "There are too many people in the Reach!"
Renly: "The main force of this war is the Reach and the Stormlands. Everyone can see the credit. However, Garlan Tyrell told me that as long as he changes his fief to Bloodstone Island, he can Persuade to reduce the quota by one!"
Witte: "Garland is still reliable, you reply to him, I agree."
Werther picked up a pen to cross out a name, and added the name of his apprentice Ashara Dayne. No one could deny her ability, and she would rather be her apprentice than an outsider.
~~~
On a sunny day, the gravel had been emptied in the square outside the ruins of Tyrosh Castle.Robert moved a chair in the center, and other nobles lined up on both sides according to their official status. The soldiers on the periphery stood behind them holding the banners of each family. All of them had their armor and weapons polished and embroidered The burqa of the family crest.
There is also a [-]-meter giant dragon lying on the top of the mountain not far away.
Today is the day for distributing spoils and conferring meritorious service.
Barristan is the commander-in-chief of this battle, and he already has a thick stack of documents in his hands. These are all discussed contents, and the bachelors in the army have prepared tables and chairs to record today's meeting.
Robert stood up, and the others followed: "I, Robert Baratheon, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, and Warden of the Realm, I declare here! The Stone Step Islands now belong to the territory of the Seven Kingdoms!"
"Long live the king!"
"Seven Kingdoms Invincible!"
The West, the Reach, the Stormlands, the Royal Lands, and the Iron Islands each get 17%, Dorne 6%, and the North, the Valley, and the Riverlands share 9% equally, but the Iron Islands have to take their spoils because they violated military orders. Take out three-quarters and distribute it to others.
Then there were many knights who made great contributions and were canonized by King Robert himself.
Barristan: "Vert Baratheon!"
Werther got up from his seat and knelt in front of Robert.
Barristan yelled, "Vert Baratheon, eight years ago gave a brilliant plan, two years provided detailed information, and even made the Seven Kingdoms allied with Volantis to hold back the armies of Lys and Myr. Siege In one day, he controlled a [-]-meter dragon, broke through the city wall and burned the main city, the above feats are witnessed by the seven gods!"
At this point, many nobles knew that Werther had been planning the Stepstone Islands eight years ago.Now Werther is only 21 years old. Eight years ago, shortly after the Iron Islands rebellion, everyone sighed, either Werther was amazingly intelligent, or Robert gave him money.However, Werther now has a giant dragon, and the position of the Duke of the Stone Step Islands is very secure, and no one has the ability to compete.
Instead of a sword, Robert laid his warhammer on Werther's shoulder:
"I, Robert Baratheon, in the name of King of the Andals, Rhoynar and First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, and Guardian of the Realm Duke Tyroshi of the Archipelago! Guardian of the Straits and Seas!"
"Werther of the Baratheon family will always be loyal to the king, serve the kingdom, and block and destroy the enemies of the kingdom. If he breaks his promise, he will be cursed by the seven gods."
Just as everyone was about to congratulate, Barristan interrupted everyone by raising his hand, and took out two exquisite scrolls to unfold.
"Volantis recognizes that the Stone Step Islands are the territory of the Seven Nations, and is willing to reach an alliance agreement with the Seven Nations! The three consuls of Volantis will sign together!"
"Rees Governor's Council, on behalf of Rees City, recognizes that the Stone Step Islands are the territory of the Seven Nations, and is willing to reach an alliance agreement with the Seven Nations!"
"Oh!" The people present were all surprised. Just a few days after winning the war, he has already been recognized by the two major city-states, which is again the credit of Werther.
"Hahaha!"
Werther stood up, and Robert and he beat each other's chests, Renly swayed his hand on Werther's shoulder, and Stannis patted Werther's shoulder.
The nobles present also stood up and applauded to congratulate the birth of another new duke and guardian of the Seven Kingdoms. The territory of the Seven Kingdoms officially expanded to the Stone Step Islands for the first time. This moment is of great significance. .
But Witt wasn't very excited. There was no spoils to share. The city that was easy to get is now in ruins. The labor force is dead and there are only less than 4 women left. It will be extremely difficult to develop in the future, and you have to find a way to make money!
Turning around and looking at the people present, Werther first put his hands on his chest and gave a noble salute before speaking: "Thank you very much to the warriors of the Seven Kingdoms. You fought here, wiped out the pirates, and wiped out the enemies of the Seven Kingdoms for thousands of years. , defended the honor of the Seven Kingdoms! You are all the most heroic fighters of our time!"
Everyone laughed and applauded, which is the praise they deserve.
Werther then shouted loudly: "In order to thank all the warriors of the Seven Kingdoms for their support, I announce in the name of the Duke of the Stone Step Islands Tylosi, the Guardian of the Straits."
Pausing for a while, to whet the appetite of the nobles present is also to let them deepen their memory.
"As long as it is a ship from the Seven Kingdoms, whether it is a warship, a merchant ship or a fishing boat, it will always be free to call at the port of Tylosi!"
"it is good!"
"Vert is generous!"
"Governor benevolence!"
The tariffs for goods entering and leaving the seven countries belong to the kingdom, and Witt has to hand them over after collecting them, but I will collect these tariffs in the future!There are too many hands and feet that can be done. If you don't increase or decrease, just delay for two days, and the goods in your business can be sold out in advance.
And they don't know that the free ones are the most expensive!
There is also a port docking fee, which is charged everywhere, and even a carriage needs to be paid for!Now Witte is exempt, and everyone is very happy.From now on, all the boats will come to Tylosi, except for the one that flies in the sky, there is also a dragon for eating, drinking and having fun. I have no money, so don’t take the money back when you come!
Werther laughed openly, happy again.
Chapter 150 Three Entrustment
The matter is not over yet. After the king conferred the title of Duke of Werther, the islands of the Stone Step Islands will also be subdivided.The ceremony was carried out by Werther, and these newly-appointed nobles will also be loyal to Werther in the future.
Because the Stone Step Islands are all archipelagos, with the current level of technology, it is impossible to manage all the islands no matter how capable they are. They can only entrust each valuable island to the lord for management.
Barristan handed the list to Werther, who gave it back after checking it.
There are several large islands in the Shijie Islands, and all kinds of bird droppings are very fertile. However, the long-term war here has caused no one to cultivate it for thousands of years.
The most critical point is that there is no one.There is a Westeros continent as big as South America, with a total population of only about 4000 million!
Ever since Werther set off agricultural innovation in the Academy City, the Academy City has added agriculture, and more and more bachelors are advancing along the path that Werther opened up. They have far surpassed Werther's level back then, and have expanded to all aspects of agriculture.
In the past, noble families had only one degree, but now they all have double degrees, except for one in charge of the degree, depending on the family business, the other is agriculture or engineering. There are even three or four in rich places, and many second sons of families choose this way.
But relying only on manpower and animal power, a farmer's farming range is also very limited. Now the nobles all over Westeros are trying to increase the population.
You have to develop the territory entrusted to you by the big lord, and then pay taxes. If you don't develop it, you have to explain the reason to the lord.No matter how powerful Werther is, the population of the original territory is insufficient, so there is no energy to manage it here.
So after the victory of this war, many nobles were unwilling to want this place, and only wanted to share the spoils.Only those wealthy families who had contact with Werther and Renly in the Western Territory, the Stormlands, and the Royal Lands were willing to give their family wealth to their second son to build a new foundation.
Every time Werther called out a name, they walked out and knelt in front of Werther, and were granted the title under the witness of the king and the nobles present.
First of all, there are two people from the Stormland forces.
Werther held a huge black sword in both hands and put it on their shoulders: "Andrew Esmond! Canonized as Earl of Grove Hall!"
Andrew Esmond was Werther's second cousin, and he ensured the logistical supplies throughout the process.His new sigil is based on Werther's suggestion of adding a blue band around the head of the green turtle.
Werther: "Baron Swann! Canonized as Lord of Fire Island!"
The second son of the Swan family in Stonehelm in the Stormlands, Werther had met him when he was a child.Strong body, thick arm muscles.Their martial arts are extraordinary, they have courage and are very polite to people. Their family has contributed a lot in this war, and they can be regarded as acquaintances that Werther has not seen for many years.
Then there are two people in the royal area.
Werther: "Allard Seaworth, canonized as the Earl of Stormport!"
The second son of the Onion Knight, the Onion Knight gave him most of the credit for this battle, in order to find a new way out for the family with Werther, and his loyalty is beyond doubt.His new family crest is still a smuggling boat, only one more boat is added.
Werther: "Auryn Velaryon, canonized as Earl of Seagull Island!"
His elder brother, Morford Velaryon, was the first to give the charts of his own family, to the benefit of all armies, and that alone was an indelible credit.The two fought very bravely.His original name was Auryn Waywater, and Robert had officially confirmed the legitimacy of his illegitimate son. After discussing with his brother, he continued to use the family crest of the Seahorse family. Now there are too few Varylian family members, and if you don’t pay attention, you will never before.He had been recommended by Robert, whom Werther did not know at first.
Then came the four people from the river bend forces.
Werther: "Garlan Tyrell! Canonized as the Earl of Bloodstone Harbor!"
He ranks second in the family. The Tyrell family knows the importance of Werther and fully supports his development here. They have contributed money and efforts to build Bloodstone Island. His personal badge is now two golden roses.
Werther: "Hobber Redwyne! Canonized as the Earl of Torment Deep!"
It is also ranked second, he has the support of the Redwyne family, and the family told him that Werther's big tree cannot be monopolized by the Tyrell family.Witte didn't know him either, and his position was the result of a game of compromise.Werther: "Gunsor Hightower! Canonized as the Earl of Cancer Castle!"
Witt's old friend, his father has many children, he is the third son, and the first business partner besides Renly, the old town of the Hightower family has too much influence in the school city and the Church of the Seven Gods, they want to develop Here, Werther also wants to poach talents in the city in the future, and the two sides are mutually beneficial.He changed the family crest to two towers.
Werther: "Dickon Tarly! Canonized as Sir Dickon Tarly!"
His father was one of the commanders on the battlefield at the Reach, and was shot to death by Euron with a heavy crossbow. His elder brother inherited the territory and gave him the family's ancestral sword.This young lad, Werther, felt that he was not bad, so he was not crossed off the list, but he was still young, and his fief was a relatively small island.Werther intends to keep him by his side for a long time.
Finally, there is Dawn.
Werther: "Ashara Dayne! Canonized as Earl of Jewel Island!"
"hey-hey!"
"Don't laugh, be serious."
Some nobles from the Seven Kingdoms showed dissatisfaction on their faces. They thought how could a woman be an earl!
In Dorne, men and women have the right to inherit. Even the Martell family has produced several female princes in power, but their children will be named Martell instead of their father.In this battle, as long as there was a battle, Ashara cut the most people.
Werther stared, and these people dared not speak.
Now Witt insisted that she was dissatisfied with women, so Witt could arrange a contest on the spot and ask them to compete with Ashara in person to see if they would be cut into three pieces or six pieces.
Ashara Dayne added a Dark Sister as her new sigil to the sigil of a sword and a shooting star.
This time there are nine people in the canonization, two in Stormland and two in Wangling.Four in the Reach, one in Dorne.
Although the Reach suffered a great defeat against Euron, it cannot be denied that they dispatched the most troops and warships.
Next to Bloodstone Island, there is an island dedicated to Aldawion and its future descendants. It is full of its leftover bones, so it was named Skull Island by Werther.
The fief is also the result of the game played by the nobles, including Werther's own relatives, apprentices, business partners, and people Werther doesn't know at all.However, the closer the current fief is to Tylosi City, the closer the relationship with Werther.
In fact, there are still many places that can be used for canonization, but other nobles don't like it, even if Werther gave it to them.
Islands are not land, so they are very troublesome to build.Witt also built several military fortresses in the disputed area, and stopped work after erecting a stone tablet on the foundation, because there was no money and no one.
After Witte's canonization, everyone talked and laughed.
Robert looked at the ruined city of Tyroshi: "Werther, your place is really the Second Sons Islands led by the Duke of Ruins."
Renly: "Haha, don't you, Werther, do you need my support?"
Werther rubbed his hands: "Yes! I, the Duke of Ruins, first lend me 20 golden dragons from each of you! I will return your 25 golden dragons after one year. This is a good business that is sure to make money!"
"Well, I'll send it to you when I get back." Stannis was the first to speak. He earned money so easily that he didn't know how to spend a lot of money.
Renly gave Werther a punch: "I've prepared it for you a long time ago, and the time ship will arrive in Tyrosh in a few days, but I didn't expect to be able to charge interest! Haha."
Robert was a little embarrassed: "Personal borrowing, can the money come out of the treasury?"
~~~
The situation in the Stone Step Islands has stabilized, and the nobles all led their fleets to King's Landing.
They returned victorious, and with the joy of victory, they will attend another grand wedding, the wedding of Lord Renly Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End, and Margaery Tyrell, Rose of Highgarden.
The last of the four males in the family finally got married, and with a wave of Robert's hand, it was held at the Red Castle in King's Landing, and a tourney was also held to celebrate the victory of the Stone Steps War.
The population of Tyroshi has been greatly reduced and it has become deserted.
Many ordinary soldiers and knights in the Stormlands were willing to stay. They knew very well that they could get along well with Renly and Werther.
Tylosi now has a vast land and few people, so he can just go to the city to go through the formalities for any piece of land he wants to cultivate.If you don't want to farm, you can live in the city, there are vacant houses everywhere, countless jobs are waiting for them, and the most important thing is that there are tens of thousands of women!
The immigrant boats coming from King's Landing City are far from enough to meet the current population needs of the Stone Step Islands. Werther and Robert discussed that the criminals in King's Landing City, except for rape and murder, are not needed.All the thieves and robbers were sent to Tyroshi to be rehabilitated!Robert was also very happy, and sent a letter to the Prime Minister.
There was a shortage of manpower and vacancies, and the earls and lords who had fiefs in the Stone Step Islands were also sent to Tyrosh by Vitra to work.
City Defense Commander: Ashara Dayne.Now he is wearing clothes similar to the golden robe, carrying the Dark Sisters and Dawn on his back, and brings a group of soldiers around the city every day.There are too many women, and accidents are easy to happen. Now the ratio of male to female is extremely unbalanced, and she can catch someone to beat her every time she walks.
