Chapter 535: The Sky That Doesn't Fall
Euron Greyjoy.
The younger brother of Baron Greyjoy, the leader of the Iron Islands.
This person performed very brilliantly in both the original book and the TV series, which made the audience "hate" him very much.
It can be said that if you want to find a wise, intelligent and treacherous and sinister existence from the Iron Islands, then this person must definitely be him.
As the leader's younger brother, he and his brother did not have a good relationship, although the Iron Islands are essentially a group of pirates, but Euron undoubtedly went a little further, because he had an affair with his younger brother Viktarion's concubine and was directly banished by the leader's brother.
In addition to being greedy for beauty, he was also extremely cruel, and his ship was named "Tranquility", not because of anything else, but because he cut off all the tongues of the whole ship, so he got this title. Moreover, he himself is nicknamed "Crow's Eye", and one eye has been covered with a black blindfold, which adds a touch of hideousness and ferocity to his originally handsome face.
The reason why Li Lingyi thought of him was entirely because of the latter's cruel characteristic, because he was cruel, so he did not hesitate to kill his brother with his own hands, imprison his niece, and hunt down his nephew.
This is all what is shown in the series, and now Li Lingyi just wants to use this quick knife.
As long as an agreement can be reached with him to carry out a sneak attack when the ship is out of the Iron Islands, it can definitely play a very important role. Not to mention anything else, when it comes to naval warfare alone, there are really few games of power that are better than Euron, and the latter claims to have traveled all the seas - although I don't know if it's true or not.
But his strength is there, as long as he severely damages the ships of the Iron Islands and delays the arrival of the Dragon Mother's army on the mainland, then Li Lingyi's goal has already been achieved. He was fully confident that he would be able to integrate the continent in a very short period of time, even if it didn't reach the point of an iron plate, but it was completely enough to deal with Long Ma.
So Li Lingyi immediately wrote on the back of the information: The Eagle Eye Organization is looking for Euron Greyjoy with all its might, and after finding it, he will make suggestions for talking.
Euron can go in this game of power for so long, naturally he is not a fool, and he must know that it is no longer Lannister who has the final say on the continent, but Evie Crane. Therefore, there is no reason why he should not accept this invitation for consultation.
"Come in. ”
After writing the reply, Li Ling opened his mouth, and suddenly the door was gently pushed open, and the thin young man from before walked in again, obviously waiting at the door.
He took the sleeve full of letters, bowed respectfully, and stepped back.
This is the Hawkeye man, who never says a word of nonsense, is silent and reserved, and is the basic skill of a good internal intelligence officer. Of course, they also have the ability to change their faces, and can be transformed into a mercenary at any time, or a talkative young man, whenever they need information.
After that, Li Lingyi dealt with the rectification of King's Landing.
The first thing to do, without a doubt, is to open a warehouse and release grain.
Although the 500,000 kilograms of grain that had been brought into the city had been robbed by the people, it was certainly not enough, and besides, some emaciated children and old people could not grab the young people at all, and many people did not grab them.
Therefore, Li Lingyi immediately ordered the opening of a grain collection area, and moved more than half of the grain that Old Tywin had originally prepared for the soldiers, and divided it among each family, so that at least everyone could have something to eat.
Another thing to grasp at the same time is law and order, King's Landing has just had turmoil in a large city with a population of one million, and the next step will definitely be rampant with thieves, and even more serious crimes will emerge one after another, after all, now that the alliance army has entered the city, everything will be chaotic, and the original security team is also out of order at this time, and they dare not act without orders.
And Li Lingyi's method of dealing with it is also very simple, that is, let the soldiers of the major families temporarily act as security guards and conduct non-stop patrols throughout King's Landing, on the one hand, to search for the remnants of the Lannisters, and on the other hand, to maintain stability.
As for the punishment for committing a crime, it is still carried out as it was, after all, the deterrent effect of the law lies not in its harshness, but in its inevitability.
Even if you set a severe punishment of death for stealing something, it is useless for some criminals. Only if every offender is punished will they have some scruples.
After all, the mentality of most offenders is "I won't necessarily get caught, will I?" if it were replaced with "I'm definitely going to get caught." The cost of committing a crime will undoubtedly become huge, and ordinary people will definitely not try it easily.
And what Li Lingyi wants to create is this atmosphere, and the necessary condition is the sufficiency of supervisors, so he temporarily incorporated the soldiers of various families into the security team, so that it is equivalent to tens of thousands of policemen wandering around the city anytime and anywhere! In this case...... Who would dare to sin lightly?
As for whether the patriarchs of these families are willing, I'm actually sorry, and if they don't want to, they have to be willing. After all, even if it is not explicitly stated now, everyone knows that it is Li Lingyi who is really in charge of things in King's Landing.
The only ones who have the ability to compete with him are Robb and Oberon, but the former has unconditionally made his position clear to support Li Lingyi, so Oberon has the heart to resist and has no chance.
Of course, he could also choose to return directly to his Dorne with his troops, but this would certainly be a little unwilling. After all, King's Landing is the capital, and the capital of the kingdom is also something worthy of being written in history, so of course he is not willing to leave easily.
After doing these two things, the others can take their time, Li Ling thought for a while, the top priority now is not King's Landing, but to immediately build the coastal Lannisport. Because the mainland is almost over, it will be the turn of the sea to make trouble, and it will not work without a strong port.
After all, Li Lingyi also has a little idea about the free city-state across the sea, but it is still a little far away for the time being, and he will not consider it in the short term.
After processing the documents, Li Lingyi stood up, stretched his waist, looked at the clear blue sky through the window, and sighed softly.
It's been almost a few months since he came to this world, and he has done a lot of things, which has also made him have a different perception of many things. This is different from the original Three Kingdoms Warriors World, where he has a higher starting point, but at the same time, the higher the responsibility he shoulders.
He was just a minor lieutenant general in the Three Kingdoms Warriors, and now he has almost become the master of this continent. It is clear which is more important and which is lighter.
It's just that the higher you stand, the more eyes you will stare at, and the more people will want you to fall down, and what Li Lingyi can do is only make the stepping stone more stable, stable enough that he can lie down, stable enough for everyone to treat him as an unfallable sky, not a peak that will eventually collapse.
