Chapter 052: The Western Expedition (5) Extortion of the Title
The news of the annihilation of the Western Expeditionary Army of Da Yu Province has attracted the surrounding civilians to a magnet with a strong magnetic force. The difference is that they believe in the goddess of life, but George does not force everyone to change their faith, as long as they are diligent in work and brave in fighting, then George will not refuse to come!
To cope with the growing population, George ordered more land to be cultivated. And began to grow eggs, and continued to import slaves from the Elephant Country! And in order to make everyone live and work in peace and contentment, George built a lot of snail houses for the inhabitants of the territory, which was fast and economical! So that the civilians who came to join were very moved.
In the battle with Gurus, George suffered heavy losses, and almost all the spear knights were killed. The archers lost 500 men, the pikemen 1000 men, the patrols were all killed, and the guards lost 200 men.
While arranging the civilians, George gathered the crowd, first collected a large number of armor and weapons, and then asked Simpson to lead the Knights of the Scimitar to transport all the supplies back to the Western Regions. Then replenish 2000 pikemen from the Western Regions. Then continue to gather civilian training troops.
The number of pikemen was expanded to 5,000, the number of pikemen was expanded to 3,000, Ataya temporarily returned to the Western Regions to retrain the spear knights, the number of archers was expanded to 3,000, the number of longbowmen was expanded to 5,000, the elite guard army was expanded to 1,500, and the new training of 3,000 broadsword and shield bearers was led by one of the best samurai of the Ani Guard, Renekton. George studied the opponent's giant crossbow, first ordered the craftsmen to start copying, and then set up 500 crossbowmen based on the 30 intact giant crossbows that had been seized so far, repaired 3 trebuchets, plus the previous one, and set up 100 trebuchets in the four trebuchets. The number of police patrols remains at 500.
Let's not talk about George's stabilization of people's livelihood and resumption of production in Ammesvalon.
Although the king of Da Yu was in a mess at this moment, although he ceded a lot of land, the civilians on the border kept clashing with the other two countries, and some of the conflicts involved the names of people, and as a magistrate, he could only swallow his anger, and the people on the border began to flee continuously!
And the north also began to fight with the army led by the third prince, and the front line continued to urge food!
The new king, Kerry, cursed the ministers around him hysterically: "What are you doing? Not even as good as a pig! Why can't a small Amesvalon be defeated? How can I calm the army in the north without Amesvalon's food? You bunch of shit, pigs' heads! Garbage! Brain-dead!"
And the ministers are desperately handsome, passing the buck to each other, as long as they can put the blame on others, it is not too much to use any despicable means!
Slade Feng had been successfully promoted to the rank of Chief Auxiliary Minister, and he said, "Wise Your Majesty, there is still one more note! But it is undignified, I wonder if I can bring it up?"
The new king Kerry calmed down and said: "Okay, Slade, look at what time it is now, how can you hide your words, you just say it directly!" Kerry motioned to all the ministers to stop attacking and slandering each other first, and listen to Slade first.
Slade said: "My king's succession to the throne is just as the country is in danger, all kinds of problems are inevitable, I hope my king must not be too anxious, to avoid making wrong decisions, this western expedition failed, most of the reason is that Amesvalon is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our food and grass are short, otherwise George, a slave-born boy, how can he resist my king's army!"
Kerry listened to Slade's words, his heart soothed slightly, and asked, "Slade, hurry up and say a way!"
Slade said: "I suggest that you might as well canonize George as a first-class marquis of Da Yu Kingdom first, so as to coquettish his heart, and slowly try to figure it out in the future." If George agrees to be the marquis, then let George provide some grain and grass first, and solve the danger in the north first!"
Kerry pondered for a while and said, "The only way to do this is to do it first, and Slade has all the authority to do it!"
Slade responded: "My king is wise!
Kerry asked, "Slade, hurry up, why are you still panting!
Slade made a sad expression and said: "General Gurus is not familiar with military affairs, is not good at commanding, misleads the country and the people, the minister suggests that Gurus be exiled and let him go to the south to be a city gate official!"
Kerry thought for a moment and said, "Hmph! This killer can't even deal with little George, but he can still be a general! I don't know how the first king left this kind of person by his side! Spare his life this time and go to the south to guard the city gate! So who will succeed him as the commander of the Praetorian Guard?"
Slade said, "This time I will send my son Pierre to convince George, and if Pierre completes his mission, I implore the King to make Pierre the commander of the Praetorian Guard!"
Kerry rubbed his cheeks with both hands, smiled wryly and said, "Okay, that's it!
In fact, Kerry is clear about Pierre's situation, but in the current tense situation, he can only appoint his own people, and he also knows what kind of character Pierre is, and the defeat of Gurus will not be sent to guard the city gate, but he can only trust his own people at present, if outsiders are appointed, then the henmant henchmen of the second prince and the third prince jump out at this juncture to avenge the master, but it is a terrible thing, and he can't afford to take that risk!
Pierre galloped towards Ammeswallon under the escort of 200 Praetorian Guards, he used to gallop like this, but in order to escape George's pursuit, and now he galloped away, but he wanted to give George the will of the king, he knew that person, if he regarded him as a friend, George would pay unconditionally, but if it was an enemy, George had only one way to deal with the enemy, that is, to cut off the enemy's head and become a Beijing official!
The moment he arrived at Amesvalon again, even Pierre's scrap wood could see the changes around him, the green farmland, the houses in the patches, the happy faces of the civilians who were constantly toiling, and who was still??? who threw cow dung at the king's guard???
Georges held an unprecedented banquet to celebrate Pierre's arrival.
Georges poured Pierre full of wine and said, "Mistress Pierre, you can taste it, this is still the wine you stored in the fortress back then, taste it!
Pierre said embarrassedly: That ,,, George, you see that my brother and I are here this time, and I also have something to ask you,γγγγγ Pierre told Georges the purpose of his visit.
After hearing this, George laughed: "Lord Ling Zun is really a talent, such a creative idea is really only he can come up with!
Pierre hurriedly took the initiative to pour the wine, and then said flatteringly: "Brother George, as long as you agree to borrow food, then if you have any requirements, as long as I can do it, it is incumbent on me!"
At this time, George said as if he was possessed by an official fan: "Lord Pierre, you see that I have so many subordinates now, all waiting to be crowned officials, give me a marquis! How can I be a duke! Otherwise, who can agree to those reckless men under me?"
All his generals drew their sabers and looked at Pierre as if they were prey.
Pierre just laughed and played the round, and said: "Don't convene, don't worry, isn't this a discussion... β
In fact, Pierre originally wanted to say that the duke was impossible, but when he saw that all the generals at the table were full of hideous faces, he immediately changed his words.
After the feast, Pierre releases a falcon in the direction of the royal capital to report the situation to Daddy Slade.
Five days later, Falcon flew back and brought Slade's reply: "As long as you receive food, you can make George a duke first, but you have to wait for the king to kill the three princes and the country is completely unified and stable before it can be officially canonized in the palace!"
Pierre found Georges and explained the situation.
George's heart is like a mirror, when the third prince is exterminated, then the next one will be himself, and he will go to the palace to canonize him, I am afraid that what awaits him in the palace will be a group of executioners!
But George didn't say anything but agreed, but George explained that because of the war, he didn't have much left, so he could only supply a small amount in batches and many times, and he didn't provide a transport team.
After Pierre confirmed with the royal capital many times, he finally reached a tacit understanding with George, and George held a send-off reception for Pierre, which can be said to have given Pierre enough face, and asked the guards to secretly reveal a message to the royal capital guards, that is, George is actually a little afraid of Pierre, after all, Pierre knows George's best, and George doesn't want to meet Pierre on the battlefield again. So it gave Pierre enough face, and even held a banquet and a send-off reception!
After sending Pierre away, Tina asked puzzledly: "Brother, let's not talk about why you are so polite to such a waste, why do you want to accept the kingdom's knighthood, and promise to borrow food from them!
George laughed and said: "The better Pierre lives, the higher his position, the better it is for us! As long as he commands the army in the future, then our soldiers will be safe, I won't explain this, I believe you can understand." As for lending them food, it is because the number of troops that the Da Yu country has assembled in the north is huge, and the combat effectiveness is strong, so it is not the time to fight hard, after all, there is still the Giant Elephant Kingdom behind the Da Yu Country, the Black Diamond Kingdom, and the three princes in the north, let the new king Kerry give us the defense periphery first, and then turn against them after we develop!"
Tina thought for a long time before she figured it out, and then cocked her thumb and said, "Dude, I have to praise you again!!!
George's face was covered in black linesγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ There are so many compliments on your brother.γγγγ
