Chapter 0348 - Ugly Map
"Justice?" Demon Mountain smiled slightly, "I haven't been in King's Landing for a long time, but I've heard the people's comments about you, all of them are bad reviews, and it's hard to hear. In the eyes of the common people, you have nothing to do with justice, but most of you are evil. “
"You brought bread to the people of King's Landing, and what do they think of you?"
Moshan kept his mouth shut. Telling the truth will make the little devil even more disappointed.
The people had a good opinion of him, because he gave them bread and hired two thousand warriors and more than six hundred craftsmen. These people's military salaries can be used to support their families.
The common people are very realistic, and they know in their hearts who saved their lives with food. And once the people suffer, the only one who bears the blame can only be the little demon Tyrion, because he is the prime minister.
That's the difference!
"Little devil. "The righteousness you seek will bring you a bloody disaster. ”
"I'm mentally prepared. The little devil's black and green eyes of different sizes stared at the magic mountain, the magic mountain's eyes were very sharp, and his thinking was very far-reaching, otherwise he would not have said such a warning to him, "My old sister has wanted to kill me since the first day I was born. "I remember two times, when the maid rescued me from the fish pond, and once when Jaime stopped Cersei when she took a pair of scissors to cut my penis off. When I was born, I was deformed, my eyes were big and small, the color was black and green, and my legs were badly deformed, and I was indeed a monster. “
Tyrion stood up, staggering, and belched.
"It's not enough to be mentally prepared. Magic Mountain decided to remind this man who was abandoned by the world, but he did not abandon the world, "If I were you, from today onwards, sleeping, eating, walking, and fighting, there must be two people by your side." ”
"Which two?"
"Bronn and Podrick. ”
The little devil laughed: "Polon is a person who will immediately follow whoever bids high, but Podrick is a good boy and very loyal. ”
"Give Bolon the highest price, and he will always be yours and loyal. You're not bad for money anyway. ”
The imp eliminated Cersei's own people from the garrison, leaving none behind, which would completely anger Cersei and make her determined to kill him Tyrion Lannister.
"Good idea. Tyrion laughed, "I've already told Bronn that whoever pays him how much money they pay, like my sister who pays him to kill me, no matter how much, I'll give him twice as much as they price." ”
In this regard, the little devil is indeed a master of controlling people. A top-notch master of human control is often because he can perceive people's inner and character weaknesses.
"Money buys Bolon's loyalty. Magic Mountain said, "Prime Minister, go for a walk on Steel Street?"
"Let's go!"
Steel Street, where all the city's blacksmiths are concentrated, and all the city's ironware is also concentrated here. Jingle and all the blacksmiths in the shops are busy working.
The war is imminent, and the Prime Minister and the Magic Mountain have ordered that this work must be completed within fifteen days.
The Magic Mountain and the Little Devil walk down Steel Street, attracting the attention of everyone on the street. One is a giant, the other is a dwarf, walking together, the contrast is too great.
The two walked into a blacksmith's shop, where two apprentices were pounding iron embryos and a master blacksmith was beating a large iron ring. The hoop is just a prototype.
The blacksmiths of the whole street are hurrying to make iron rings, and then connect the iron rings made by each family.
As soon as the little devil and the magic mountain entered, the blacksmith boss immediately greeted them and laughed with them: "Prime Minister, Earl." ”
The Magic Mountain was conferred upon the Earl by the King himself, and the news spread in King's Landing along with the fame of Westerling's noodles and pasteurized disease-causing milk.
The little devil walked over, and the blacksmith and the apprentice stopped what they were doing, and the hammer was put down, wheezing for breath.
"How much does this ring weigh?" the little devil asked.
The hoop is the size of a little devil's head.
"More than twenty pounds, my lord. ”
"One is more than 20 catties, ten are more than 200 catties, one hundred are 2,000 catties, and five hundred are 10,000 catties. Magic Mountain, how many do we need?"
"I don't know, I'll see when the time comes. Magic Mountain said lightly.
The little devil nodded, there is a blacksmith here, and a lot of words are inconvenient to discuss. The more you say, the more you leak, and these are all military secrets.
Although the blacksmiths of Steel Street are making the same heavy hoops, the blacksmiths don't know what they are going to do with them.
The little devil encouraged the blacksmiths and apprentices of the blacksmith shop to work hard, but the magic mountain did not say a word. The blacksmith and the apprentice all looked at the little devil, the glow of the flame reflecting their sweaty faces, and there was not much kindness in their eyes.
The two then came out, and along the way they entered some blacksmith shops to check on their work, followed by more than a dozen guards, and at each house, the guards guarded the door.
Coming out of Steel Street, the Great and Small Demons return to the Red Keep.
"Magic Mountain, in Steel Street, why don't you say a word?"
"I set a time limit for them, and if they don't finish within the allotted time, I will punish them severely. Just go and see the progress now, no need to talk nonsense. The more nonsense, the less they will be afraid of you. Not afraid of you, their work will be slack. ”
"I don't want them to be afraid of me! I want them to be close to me. ”
"So you're the prime minister and I'm the general. A kind-hearted person should not be a soldier, and a good-hearted person should not be a general. "The prime minister is different, the prime minister is a liar, a politician, a conspirator and a sweettalker. ”
The little devil raised his head and looked at the Demon Mountain, and he felt that the words of the Demon Mountain seemed to make sense: "What if these blacksmiths fail to complete the task you have assigned by then?"
"I've already told them the results. Magic Mountain said lightly.
"How are you going to punish them?"
"Cut off one of the blacksmith's hands. Magic Mountain said.
The little devil shrugged his shoulders, violence does not make people really surrender, only makes people submit with resentment: "Really?"
"It's not that day yet, you'll know when the time comes!"
"Are you deliberately intimidating?"
"Cutting off the hands of the blacksmith shop owner is not cutting off the hands of the blacksmith and the apprentice. The people who do the work still want it. “
"Some master blacksmiths are bosses themselves. ”
"Then he deserves to be unlucky. ”
"Okay! How are the stone towers on both sides of the Blackwater Bay being built, and the huge winch. ”
"Everything is moving forward steadily. Including the trebuchets in the mud gate square, the carpenters work overtime every day, people can rest, work can not stop, two shifts, all night. ”
"How many trebuchets are you going to build?"
"I'm going to make it impossible for Stannis's ships to dock and all of them to be sunk by rocks, how many trebuchets do you think you'll need. ”
"Three?!"
Indeed, in the original world trajectory, the little devil commanded the battle of the Blackwater River, and only three trebuchets were built. His manpower, material and financial resources are very limited. Three trebuchets, known to him as the 'Three Prostitutes of King's Landing'.
This guy whose life is inseparable from prostitutes, and the name given to the trebuchet is so inappropriate for children!
"Thirty. Magic Mountain said lightly, "This is thanks to the people who built houses along the outer city wall, and the wood and stone that were removed helped a lot." ”
Chapter 0349 of 2 The Demon Seeks the Truth
The group walked up to the King's Road, where the towering walls of the Red Fort could be seen.
"Magic Mountain, you led your army out of Harrenhal, who is left behind to fight against Luthbolton?"
"Why fight against Luce Burton?"
"After you are gone, he will surely lead his army to attack Harrenhal. ”
"He's not going to attack Harrenhal. ”
"Oh?" the little devil looked at in surprise.
"He can't take Harrenhal. The Devil Mountain stared at the little demon, "Unless he has a dragon." In the character of Lustbolton, after the small army had been tempted, the gates were closed, and the trebuchets and archers on the walls guarded the gates, he would resolutely march westward to attack Lord Tywin and our father's back path, and form a flank with Edmuthuri of the Red Fork. If I were in Harrenhal, he would not dare flank Lord Tywin's West, for my cavalry would pursue his infantry and defeat him. And my army and I are no longer in Harrenhal, and he has no need to worry about being pursued, and must lead his army to flank our main army in the west. ”
The little devil stood still, staring at the magic mountain with a strange sense of surprise. Demon Mountain looked at this conceited and clever guy lightly, he knew that the little devil was 'stabbed' by his own military analysis. Such a clear and concise military analysis is not something that the rude and reckless Magic Mountain can figure out.
"Demon Mountain, according to your analysis, isn't there no way for our father, Lord Tywin, to escape?"
"If I say that the Northern Army will soon withdraw suddenly, and Luthbolton will quickly retreat, crossing the Green Fork and heading north, Edmure will be alone, and the crisis in the West will be lifted, and our father, Lord Tywin, will turn the Riverlands into a scorched earth, defeat the Riverlands princes one after another, and then return to Harrenhal to garrison the Baratheon army at any time to meet the siege of King's Landing?"
"I don't believe it. ”
Demon Mountain stared at the little devil's strange eyes and snorted, "I don't believe it either." He strode forward, and the little devil took a short leg and trotted all the way up: "Hey, Magic Mountain......!"
Ignoring the little devil, the Magic Mountain led his guards to stride away.
The distance between the two sides is getting farther and farther apart. But the little devil is not a person who gives up easily, and in the words of the magic mountain just now, the information revealed is too big and too big, and it is incredible. Based on Magic Mountain's recent performances, it is unlikely that he will be a man of his own words.
So, if this is true, why did the tide of battle suddenly turn around when the Westers were being completely suppressed?
What is my father planning? How could the Magic Mountain know? What did my father tell his false son-in-law? Is there any top-secret military plan that my little demon has not yet known?
The little devil's short-legged running posture was so comical that none of the guards who followed him dared to laugh, although it was funny.
It was already night, and rows of torches were lit on the walls of the streets on both sides of King's Road, illuminating the streets in a glorious light.
In front, the magic mountain suddenly stood up and turned around.
The little devil hurriedly quickened his pace and ran up: "Hey, Magic Mountain, brother......" His kissing voice made Magic Mountain goosebumps, the age of the magic mountain crossed was the same as that of the little devil, they were all young people in their twenties, but this super body was already thirty-three years old. Aegon was born in the year 266 of the Magic Mountain, and this year is the year 299 of the Aegon calendar, and the Magic Mountain is thirty-four years old. In the year 274 of Aegon, the little demon Tyrion Lannister was born, and he was twenty-five years old this year, and he was twenty-six years old.
Even if the little devil is twenty-six years old, he is still the little brother of the magic mountain.
But he was accustomed to the conceit of his heart and the humility on the surface, and when he heard the Demon Mountain say that the war between the West and the North would be surprisingly reversed, he was in a stirred mood, and he opened his mouth to call the Demon Mountain, who was much older than him, his brother.
"Little devil, watch out for Mandenmoor. The Magic Mountain stopped and decided to click on the little devil about the crisis he was about to face.
"Why?"
"Because he's going to kill you. ”
Mandenmoor, described by Jaime as the darkest and coldest of the Kingsguards, is so taciturn that no one can guess what he's thinking. Mandenmoor has never given the little devil a good face.
After the Great Demon finished speaking, he continued to walk. The little devil was out of reach, so he had to stop chasing and return to his normal speed.
The Great Demon was impatient to wait for the Little Demon to catch up, because he didn't want to be side by side with the Little Demon facing the moon in the night.
With the cleverness of the little devil, the magic mountain will open the word box by this guy to come up with a lot of strange things, some will not be reliable, some will be very reliable! He will ask the magic mountain one by one for verification, and he will never get tired of it, but the magic mountain has no interest in accompanying him to talk this nonsense.
The magic mountain walked into the gate of the Red Castle, and on the square of the mud gate, the torch shone so brightly that half of the sky was brightened, and the sound of bangbang sounded, and the all-night work of the carpenters and masters kicked off again.
In war, there are many factors that determine victory or defeat, and the army is only one link in victory, like one link in a huge iron chain. Carpenters, blacksmiths, stonemasons, builders, horsemen, food, tactics and strategy, intrigue and subterfuge are all one of the iron links in the iron chain of victory in war, all of which are indispensable.
And Tywin, in the West, is undoubtedly one of the top masters of creating such a winning hoop. The North and the Riverlands will fall from the pinnacle of victory, while the West will turn defeat into victory. It's just that I don't know when the 'Peace Emissary Regiment' prepared by the little devil will set off for Riverrun to rescue Jaime Lannister.
"Cocoa!" there was a knock on the door, polite and rhythmic.
In his residence in the Red Keep, the Magic Mountain was staring at the map on the table, which was his own hand-drawn map, the geographical map of the Seven Kingdoms, with a high probability of scale and size, indicating the main cities, rivers and mountains of each country, as well as the approximate number of lords in the territory.
"Who?"
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister is here, and I hope to see you. Erin's voice.
Prime Minister, that's a little devil.
This guy really has the spirit of perseverance, did he hear the big secret that the Western Frontier would be reversed, and he couldn't sleep, so he had to come to 'stand on his feet and talk until dawn'?
To be honest, Magic Mountain regretted it.
That's the trouble with talking to smart people. If someone else had changed, it must have passed with laughter. They won't believe what the Magic Mountain says, they will think it's a joke, but the little devil is different.
"Let him in. “
The little devil came in, with a smile on his face, 'A brother is not an outsider', and his gestures regarded the room of the Magic Mountain as his own, and he did not see the outside: "Lord Magic Mountain, you see what I have brought." ”
He stepped aside, and behind him was a row of court maids with tightly covered plates.
"And your favorite Qingting Island wine, the best of the golden liquor. The little devil shook his short legs and sat on the stool, he looked at the rough lines of the map of the Seven Kingdoms on the table: "There is an accurate geographical map in the palace library, who drew it? The level is too poor, messy, so ugly!hahahaha!"
