prince of europe in quintiles

Huo Teng is not clear about the war between women.

He was just anxious to receive the real estate brought by Adelaide.

After a few days of tossing, Huo Teng learned that the fief on the Rhine River, the city of Speyer, was already a complete royalist party and was not willing to contact Huo Teng.The local bishop said that he would only give Adelaide a fixed support, and Huo Teng asked Huo Teng for the rest.

This meant that Horten had nothing to do with Speyer, so he had to turn his head to control Erfurt, and nothing went wrong this time.The church and citizens of Erfurt had a good impression of Horten and agreed to his supervision.

Special landmark buildings:

[Royal Road Commercial Station (Level 1): Historically, the commercial roads from West Frankland to Russia, and from Northern Europe to Italy were criss-crossed and called the Royal Road. This is the main road for land trade in Europe .Effect: trade range +25%, trade tax +5%.Can be upgraded. 】

To Horten's surprise, Erfurt is indeed a historic town and a famous city, but it is also an extremely scientific city.

A pure commercial town.

The Royal Road business route is a vertical and a horizontal, mainly covering the land trade route from France in the west, Russia in the east, Northern Europe in the north, and Italy in the south.This line started a century ago, but it was taken seriously two centuries later, and gradually died out during the Napoleonic Wars.

Indigo printing and dyeing in Thuringia was also an important commercial resource that rose at about the same time. The Thuringian region mainly relied on the five cities headed by Erfurt to provide abundant dyeing resources.

This is also the economic foundation of the Thuringians' tyrannical donkeys.

In such a town, the monthly income can reach more than [-] during the heyday of business, and there is also a guaranteed income of tens of gold in the off-season.Such a city with such a strong economy has obvious lameness.

It does not have any military capabilities, just like a fat lamb surrounded by wolves.

Without building walls to protect itself, and lacking a main army, the only army the city could recruit turned out to be a weak urban militia.Not to mention that although it has abundant taxes, it has not even established any military camps, not even peasant military camps.It's incredible.

This gave Huo Teng a huge illusion.

If Erfurt really builds buildings like garrison barracks, what kind of army can it recruit?

However, even with such a great historical town, even if the city can earn at least one hundred gold per month, Huo Teng is still not happy.

Because he found that there is a big negative status hanging on the city.

[The city seeks autonomy: all taxes -60%, cannot recruit troops. 】

The Erfurt City Council has been striving for the city's self-reliance.For this reason, they specially acquired at least [-] surrounding properties to achieve self-sufficiency.Their ultimate goal is to become an independent city that no one cares about except the emperor.

Like the bishop of Speyer, the people of Erfurt accepted Horten's supervision but refused him to intervene in their internal affairs.

You charge some money, what should you do?

Chapter 250 The Horten Wolf Is Coming

Now the situation has changed again.

Originally, the emperor urged Huo Teng to interfere with Thuringia and Meissen, but Huo Teng was too lazy to move.

But after Adelaide settled in Göttingen with the rich city of Erfurt, Huo Teng hurriedly prepared to mobilize troops to go to Thuringia to defend the assets under his custody.

Like all routines, on the surface it is a escrow, and after a long time, it will still be owned by itself, and it can be a worldly treasure and pass the position to your son.

Thus, in the core city of Saxony, Lüneburg, a debate arose.

"Didn't Priest Bruno of Otto's family go back to Regensburg? It seems that there is no shortage of smart people around the king. He killed three birds with one stone, which attracted Horten and little Eckard to fight for Thuringia. It is a good strategy to reclaim the territory at all times. Erfurt is a very rich city, with a textile printing and dyeing industry that cannot be ignored, and abundant business resources. Such a city was acquired by Horten, and little Eckard could not be satisfied. But Conversely, although Huo Teng got Erfurt, he had to fight the little Eckard. In addition, if the situation is unfavorable, Ms. Adelaide can return to the royal capital or her hometown and take back Erfurt. Ford's control. What a strategy."

The repeated "good plan" really praised the little queen Matilda's plan.

Wearing a bearskin coat and wrapped around the old Bernard who was sitting by the fire, he put down the plank in his hand, raised his head indifferently, and stared at his sister: "Okay now, everyone else is showing themselves Little Eckard used both words and fists, and almost became the only candidate to succeed Meissen; Huo Teng, who has annexed so many territories in succession, is still dissatisfied with his desires, showing his teeth and claws...Only you have shamed our family."

Sitting across from him, there was a woman named Swanhild who was similar in build to Bernard, like a she-bear. She was one of the culprits that caused the turmoil, and she was also the mother of the Meissen family.Known for being rude and unreasonable.

"I... What's wrong with me? Merseburg has been surrounded by bastards. If I don't leave the castle, will I be surrounded by those bastards and starve to death?" Swanhild defended himself.

She was actually quite angry.His second son led troops to surround his castle, and even blocked the road to prevent food from entering.

This made it clear that she was going to starve to death, and the frightened and angry mother simply abandoned the important Merseburg in a moment of fear, and fled back dozens of miles back to Magdeburg.

"You son of a bitch, that's your son of a bitch too! My stupid sister, think again, father, and why did I let you marry there?" Old Bernard was almost pissed off.

As long as Van Swanishilde can think carefully for a while and is willing to listen to the mediation of the old Bernard, Merseburg will not be lost from the Bron family.Tens of miles behind is Magdeburg, and the outpost Bernburg, next to the Harz Mountains controlled by Horten, can't the old Bernard use these forces?Magdeburg Archbishop Taginod is highly respected, can't stand up and persuade all parties to avoid conflicts and adjust the balance of power?

Relying on the strategic location of Merseburg, it is possible to settle in the north and manipulate the conflict between Huo Teng and Eckard Jr., so as to benefit from it.

Well now, it's gone.

"Stupid! Stupid pig! Because of you, my life will be shortened by more than ten years."

Old Bernard was really going to be stunned by his sister.

"I..." The younger sister was also very serious. She wanted to refute but found that she was more stubborn. In retrospect, she was indeed too panicked and passed out.

"Oh!" Old Bernard patted his thigh, and hurried out to find the bishop's pharmacist to cure the disease and save people.

……

Old Bernard's strategy itself was correct.

But the fault was that his sister ran away.

If this was the Song-Jin war, then Swanishild's behavior seemed to have voluntarily given up Xiangyang City.

Today, Merseburg is stuck in the middle, with Thuringia to the west and Meissen to the east.

It can be called the place where the battle situation is reversed.

The west side of Meissen belonged to young Eckard, the middle part belonged to old Hermann, and the east side had already been captured by his uncle Guntherin and the Poles. Count Bautzen's wife, the sister of the former two, were all under house arrest by the Poles.

Faced with such a situation, Eckard Jr., who took the lead in mastering Merseburg, undoubtedly seized the opportunity.

"Damn it, such a majestic and strong castle is lost like this?"

Huo Teng had just celebrated his acquisition of Erfurt City, and then suffered a blow to the head.

Merseburg was just thrown to little Eckard. Such a strong strategic location seemed to be lost like cabbage.

Lily Knight Ke Shihai also covered his face in astonishment: "Compared with Erfurt, Merseburg is the most important hub. We got such a fertile lamb, but lost an extremely important gate because of it. All of this, does it worth?"

No one can answer this question.

In the eyes of the knights, Merseburg is ten thousand times more important than Erfurt.

With Merseburg, you have a strategic location and a huge military camp. You have soldiers in your hands. Are you afraid of Erfurt, which doesn't even have a city wall?

However, the leaders of the Giant Deer Knights, brothers and sisters Natur and Grüner, have a different opinion: "We in Göttingen have a strong military force, so we should preemptively control all the cities around Erfurt, otherwise we will not have sufficient funds. "

What they mean is to suggest that Horten take this opportunity to seize all the textile printing and dyeing industry in Thuringia to offset the strategic loss of losing Merseburg.

Except for the suggestions of the two military dignitaries, both Caron and Adlaib have their own advice.

But all in all, everyone suggested Huo Teng to send troops quickly, if he didn't do it now, when would he wait?

Huo Teng's wife, lover and court ladies sat together behind the curtain.

Connorsa was clutching her cousin Adelaide's wrist, almost hurting her; Goldis Dieu turned pale, not sure whether she was worried about her aunt or her father's high blood pressure; although Jones Has given birth, but is helping Amelia, who has been pregnant for six months, take care of the fetus in her womb. How can she have time to think about this.

The opinions of the ladies are not much different from those of others.

Do it when you need to do it, and if you don't do it, you will throw all the fat to little Eckard, and you won't even be able to drink the soup.

Spread out the map, no one can ignore the importance of Erfurt.

It, together with the five cities of Gotha, Bad Langensalza, Arnstadt, and Bad Tengstadt surrounding Erfurt, can be said to have monopolized the printing and dyeing trade in the Thuringia region.Merchants traveling from north to south want to obtain precious materials such as blue cloth, woven cloth, worsted cloth, indigo, etc., and they can only buy them here.

It was a big piece of fat, so fat that Huo Teng's heart would tremble whenever he thought that he would lose it.

Everyone's eyes are so dignified.

"But if you think about it carefully, Erfurt and the resources there are indeed very good. But what about us in Göttingen? The greenskin bandits last year, the Beastmen incident last year, and the torrential rain and floods this year, we can't be so hasty. Erfurt hastily summoned the army at this time, but the autumn harvest is only one and a half months away. The gap between this one and a half months will determine whether our Göttingen will be strong and stand tall next year."

This moment has never made Huo Teng uncomfortable.

If troops are sent out, the economy will collapse, and the fiscal revenue of more than [-] yuan per year will be wiped out. Not to mention, food shortages will also be forced to harvest early.

Without sending troops, watching little Eckard domineering and marching westward, it is difficult to repay the grievances in his heart.

"The meeting is over, let me think for myself."

Huo Teng waved his hand, unable to make a decision yet.

The more critical the moment, the more you have to think twice before acting.

At this time, Ms. Adelaide, an outsider, suddenly said: "Can't Göttingen and Thuringia be united? Look...the names are so similar."

This outrageous proposal stirred up the gloomy atmosphere and made everyone happy.

"Although the endings are similar, the meanings are different." The Prime Minister Morris, who has been meditating, laughed happily, "The root of Göttingen refers to the area where people live, and it means the place where they live by the Göttingen River. Thuringian's Root, but it means 'son of' in ancient Germanic language, and the meaning of Thuringia's full name has been changed, which originally refers to the Turingi tribe, meaning the descendants of Chief Herman."

In the depression, the big guys discussed the past stories for fun.

When the Whip of God attacked Germany, the Turingians living there were very closely integrated with the descendants of the Huns. After the collapse of the Huns, the Thuringians who intermarried with them directly tolerated and assimilated the Huns.

Therefore, the troublemakers here in Thuringia have the roots of rebellion from the time of the Huns and have continued.

They also have a specialty, that is, they are good at raising horses.

While chatting and teasing, Huo Teng suddenly got inspiration from Adelaide's outrageous proposal: "We...we will not send troops."

"No troops?" Morris stood up in surprise. As the palace minister, he had already planned how many troops to recruit.

"But you have to get someone out." Huo Teng laughed loudly.

No troops, but people?

Huo Teng pointed at the leaders of the two teams of monster knights, and jokingly said, "It's up to you this time."

Huo Teng elaborated on his ideas.

Göttingen suffers from disasters every year and is worried about food production. Isn't the little Eckard who just won Merseburg not worried?He's only been in the war this year.

Thinking in another way, Little Eckard was temporarily unable to move westward.

Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, Huo Teng announced a large-scale eastward advance, deceived little Eckard, created the illusion that he was going to fight with him in the near future, and forced little Eckard to gather the army and could not disband.Thousands of people squatted in the castle to eat and drink, how much food would be consumed.Can the farmers over there bear it?

This is called exhaustion.

Taking advantage of this time, Huo Teng stepped up production, mobilized elite knights and soldiers in advance, and moved eastward once the autumn harvest was completed.

There is a time difference of one and a half months.

It was this time difference that made Little Eckard's army exhausted and collapsed, allowing Huo Teng to recharge his batteries.

"But how to convince the other party?" Conosha asked the most important question.

Can't it just be planned at home?

Huo Teng pointed to the two knight leaders again: "I will first send Keshihai to lead the Lily Guardian into Erfurt as the commander of the city guard. With his appearance...I mean his reputation And handsome, it will surely make the Thuringians approve of us. And then force little Eckard to believe that we are going to attack."

"Then there are Natur, Gruna, and Julu Knight. You go to the Harz Mountains, borrow hundreds of exile archers, and patrol the countryside to advertise that our army is continuing to advance eastward. Create the illusion of actual action. "

"The code name for this coaxing battle: Wolf is coming!"

Chapter 250

Natur and Gruna of the Giant Deer Knights received 150 refugee troops and [-] refugee archers temporarily under their command in the Northhausen village in the north of Millhausen when they led the army eastward.

"Tsk tsk tsk, are these people really useful?" Natur stroked Zhang Fei's beard. Although there was no obvious contempt on his face, he still disliked the "special talents" that Huo Teng handed over to him.

Although these 500 people were uniformly dressed, they were still in ragged clothes. They could barely get enough to eat, but it was impossible to eat a balanced diet, so most of them looked swollen and malnourished.Some elite archers can still see some healthy red light on their faces.

Jeffrey, who sent them here, was not happy. He thought his subordinates were fine.

You can fight with you if you give food to eat. Although the strength is insufficient, it is worth filling the scene.Archers are also good at shooting while running, making them great for harassing enemy flanks and raiding supply lines.When dealing with the Earl of Hartz, he, the Viscount of Mount Hartz, killed the enemy in this way.

Jeffrey bragged about the skills of his subordinates: "Of course it works. You see, these three hundred veterans are all veterans who followed me to fight bandits in the mountains for a year. Raid warfare, especially good at running and fighting tactics. There are also those archers, which are rare, special archers who are good at walking and flying kites to clean up the enemy. What's more, they don't want money! See those carts of food? You Send someone to hold on to the handlebars, and they'll follow you."
