Chapter 489: Lannister's "Foreign Aid"
In this way, many small families have no choice at all, maybe they are more traditional and look down on the emerging families, but they still have to obey on the surface, which is also what Li Lingyi wants.
No king can subdue everyone by grace, only by grace and power can he firmly control everything.
Moreover, for the Western South, although there is no overt offensive now, the combination punch at the ideological level still has to be fought, which is manifested in sending people to spread the policy of the flagless family among the common people and all kinds of benefits.
Because the western border has always been controlled by the Lannisters, and the south is also the Lannisters plus the Rose family, with King's Landing as the center, civilians are strictly forbidden to discuss the flagless family in private, and if they catch one, they will deal with one, which is very strict.
However, Li Lingyi felt very funny when he found out, this is completely self-deception, and people have a rebellious mentality, the more you forbid it, the more curious people are, and the more they want to understand through various channels.
What's more, this kind of prohibition will make it easier to force some talented people to the Flagless Family, because if you ban it, it means that you are afraid of the existence of this kind of family and the existence of this kind of thought.
That's why Li Ling sent people to spread it secretly, so that one day he really led his troops to fight over, then at least the resistance of the civilians would be less, and maybe there would be some "leading party", which would undoubtedly be better.
As for the issue of allies, in fact, Li Lingyi also thought of one family, that is, the Martell family, which is located in the southernmost part of the mainland.
This family is also quite legendary, when Aegon the Conqueror arrived, he fought other families with his hands, but when facing the Martell family, he was defeated by Queen Meria many times, which also allowed his territory of Dorne to maintain its independence for hundreds of years.
Eventually, the Targaryens proposed a marriage, and the war between the two families ended, and the Martell family almost monopolized a large part of Dorne's territory, maintaining a transcendent existence.
Later, the Usurper War broke out, the Targaryens were overthrown, and Queen Elia Martell and her children were brutally murdered by the Mountain during the fall of King's Landing.
Therefore, after Robert of Barasian ascended the throne, although the Martel family was superficially subservient, they hated Barasian and the Lannisters very much, and did not pay attention to the orders of King's Landing, and at the same time maintained an independent state, basically not interacting with other families.
At the same time, they conspire to overthrow the Iron Throne and restore the Targaryens, that is, to put Viserys Targaryen on the Iron Throne.
Of course, Viserys could not afford this task at all, and he himself did not have this talent, and was even burned to death by the King of Horses with gold juice, according to his sister Daenerys, he was not a true dragon, because a real dragon is not afraid of fire and heat.
Therefore, the Martell family's plan can be regarded as frustrated, of course, they did not expect that their brother would not be able to do it, but their sister was extremely strong, and the three fire dragons accompanied by the style of Aegon the conqueror back then.
But this is all for later, now the dragon of the Mother of Dragons has not grown up, and her reputation has not spread to the mainland, and even the Martel family thinks she is dead.
So the plan to restore the Targaryen failed, but the news that the Magic Mountain was killed still made them very happy, so they naturally had a little good impression of Li Lingyi.
In addition, the latter is now establishing a family, which is completely clear against the Iron Throne, which also makes the Martell family even more happy, and at the same time secretly waiting for the opportunity, if it is really possible, they will definitely be willing to participate in the overthrow of the Iron Throne.
This is also the reason why Li Ling thought of them, but it is impossible for the current Martell family to rebel openly, just like most families, they also think that they will not join the war when the situation is clear, and the victory and defeat are about to be divided.
There's nothing to say, it's everyone's choice to seek advantage and avoid harm, in fact, there are only four families who are openly rebelling against the Iron Throne right now, Stark, Tully, Bannerless, and Stannis (Baracien).
Stark and Tully are married, Flagless and Stannis have long been allied, and now Flagless and Stark have also been allied, as long as the Toury family is concerned, the four families form a powerful alliance.
It can be said that he already has the strength to confront the Iron Throne head-on, but Li Lingyi believes that the Lannisters will not sit still, and will definitely prepare well during this time, and even invite some "foreign aid".
All along, the Lannisters, although they had money, were also "loans", and the lenders were the most powerful "bank" in the free trade city-state across the Narrow Sea.
They lend money to kingdoms and families all over the world, and they will lend you money if they like you, and the amount is incomparably huge. But no one knows exactly how much money is in the iron vault and where it is.
Almost every royal family has the shadow of an iron vault behind it, and with their help, many things will become very simple.
Of course, don't think about borrowing money and not paying it back, the purpose of the iron vault is to "collect debts if you have them", if you don't pay them back by the specified time, then wait to be sanctioned.
There are many ways to sanction the debtor, but the best and simplest one is to support the debtor's opponents, so that they can grow up to defeat the debtor and seize his family wealth to pay off the debt.
For example, if the Lannisters have to repay the money tomorrow, but the iron vault finds that the family can't afford to pay it back. So they will turn to support rival families such as Stark and Bannerless, let them defeat the Lannisters, and then use the loot to pay off their debts.
If this one doesn't work, then the iron vault also has its own army, that is, the Golden Regiment, which sounds like an army piled up with money, and it is naturally strong. The armor and weapons are all of the highest quality, and there are even high-power mounts such as elephants!
So if you don't pay back, you may wake up the next morning and find a row of elephants standing at the gate of the city, and few people will want to see it.
However, until now, the Iron Vault still supports the Lannisters and the Iron Throne, which means that they don't want to see the rise of the Bannerless Family, let alone the Iron Throne being overthrown eventually, so they may make a move.
Li Lingyi was actually very worried, if the Golden Map really came from the Narrow Sea, then he could directly land on the mainland from Lannisport, and then attack Rushing City along the Three Forks River, and the Evili family would definitely not be able to stop it at that time.
In that case, Li Ling might have to go to the rescue, and then he would undoubtedly fall into a passive situation. So...... Although he had told Catherine before that he wanted to seize King's Landing, what he thought in his heart was that once he made a move, the first thing to seize should be the Lannister's lair, and Kaiyan City was!
