Not long ago, in the territory of the Kingdom of Pomerania, King Svitopek of Pomerania received Poland, and the former Polish king Scarborough died.

King Svitopek of Pomerania summoned the chiefs of the various tribes, and he informed them of the death of the king of the Kingdom of Poland.

When the Pomeranian chieftains heard this, they excitedly said to Svitopek: "King, this is a great opportunity for us in Pomerania! Before, because the Polish king Skaborough was alive, we couldn't attack them out of the alliance, but now it's different, the Polish king has been lost, and now there is no new king in Poland, this is a good time for us to do it! ”

"Hmph, you're thinking about it well! But how many troops do you think we can muster? Svitopek looked at the group of chiefs and asked with a cold smile.

"King, we have people, and we can still draw some people from our tribe!" When the tribal chiefs heard Svitopek's words, they said to Svitopek in embarrassment.

"Didn't you say that the ten of the tribe's warriors have all been killed in battle? Where will there be extra manpower? Are you planning to let the children go south with me? King Svitopek of Pomerania looked half-squinting at the group of tribal chiefs who looked at him with some embarrassed smiles.

"Svitopek, what we call ten ** is just a metaphor, just a metaphor." An old white-haired tribal chief stood up and said to Svitopek.

"Hehe, metaphor, Annarek you are really knowledgeable! You can even say the words of the Chinese Empire! Svitopek stared coldly at the gray-haired old chieftain of the tribe named Annarek.

"Oh, what did you say, king! We Pomerania don't have many words in the first place, so I naturally have to borrow the words of the Chinese Empire! The white-haired Annarek waved his hand indifferently.

"Oh, yes! Thanks to you tribes who are in frequent contact with the merchants of the Chinese Empire, the vocabulary of our Pomeranian Kingdom will improve! Svitopek glanced viciously around the group.

"Hey, what are you talking about, King! What is our group of people called merchants who frequently contact the Chinese Empire, as if you don't frequently contact the merchants of the Chinese Empire. The gray-haired Annalek glanced at Svitopek with disdain.

"Hehe, this king is trading with the merchants of the Chinese Empire for the country of Pomerania, but you don't know what this king is for." Svitopek said as he looked at the group of chiefs with a blank face.

"Everyone, don't do this! Aren't we talking about the death of the king of the Kingdom of Poland, and why is it related to the Chinese Empire? One of the red-bearded tribal chiefs stood up and said to everyone with a smile.

"Leantulles, you don't have to play a round here, we're talking about sending troops to Poland." The gray-haired Annarek held out and pointed at the red-bearded Polish chieftain.

"Out, send troops to Poland, we should talk about Poland, what are you doing in the Chinese Empire?" The red-bearded Polish chieftain Leantulus looked away with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Hehe, it seems that the financial director of Leantulus doesn't want us to talk about the Huaxia Empire, but that's right, after all, you are the one who has the most contact with the Huaxia Empire among us." A chieftain who had a conflict with Leantulus looked at Leantulus suspiciously.

"Hehe, what are you talking about, Spymaster!" Leantulus touched his red hair and grinned at the spy chief who had a problem with him.

"Hehe, you know what I'm talking about! Treasurer, you say yes! The head spy looked at Leantulus with the corners of his mouth raised and said with a smile.

"I know, I don't know what you're talking about." Leantulus continued to play dumb.

Seeing that the important ministers of the state were making such a noise, Svitopek waved his hand angrily and said to the group: "Okay, you don't quarrel anymore, that's all for today, if you want to say anything, go back and talk about it, and you should go back to your tribe to negotiate about the Polish matter!" After all, according to your clan's warriors, ten out of ten ** are dead. ”

After saying that, Svitopek, the so-called king of the Pomeranian Kingdom, left the place depressed.

"Phew, what is he, isn't it just that the Chinese Empire and the King of Great Moravia have successfully unified Pomerania? Did he really think he was the supreme king of Pomerania? After the gray-haired Annalek saw Svitopek leave, he couldn't help but spit in the direction where Svitopek left.

In fact, there have always been complaints against Svitopek in the Pomeranian Kingdom, including Svitopek's former subordinates.

Because since Svitopek forcibly unified Pomerania by virtue of the prestige of the prime minister of the four countries, Svitopek promised to give many benefits to the leaders of the tribes that were not under him before, and the benefits of following Svitopek were not as many as those who surrendered to Svitopek, so Svitopek's former subordinates were naturally full of complaints about Svitopek.

And those who saw that Svitopek had the support of the kings of the Chinese Empire, the powerful Kingdom of Poland at that time, and the Great Moravian Kingdom that occupied Moravia and Bohemia, so the tribes who surrendered to Svitopek later found out that in fact, Svitopek did not have the support of the so-called king at all.

The Chinese Empire, Great Moravia, and Poland all needed a unified Pomeranian kingdom to provide their three countries with cheap goods and open markets for them.

Neither the Chinese Empire nor the Great Moravian Kingdom cared who the king of Pomerania was, although they both insisted on a unified Pomeranian kingdom, but in fact most of the chieftains in Pomerania discovered that these countries were just providers of cheap labor and cheap goods.

So they resented that Svitopek had deceived them, and that Svitopek's so-called rise of the Pomeranians simply did not exist.

But it doesn't matter, since the Chinese Empire has become more and more powerful, most of them tend to be dominated by the Chinese Empire.

However, they didn't want the Chinese Empire to conquer them, because they all knew the style of the Chinese Empire, as long as the Chinese Empire conquered a place, then the chieftain of that place had to do things according to the arrangement of the Chinese Empire.

Therefore, they are reluctant to become the people of the Huaxia Empire, because they are afraid that after surrendering to the Huaxia Empire, the Huaxia Empire will deprive them of the rights they have now.

In fact, the Huaxia Empire did exactly that, so we are more and more afraid of the Huaxia Empire and at the same time very fond of secretly contacting the Huaxia Empire.

They are afraid of the Huaxia Empire because they know that their tribe is no match for the Huaxia Empire's army, and they like to contact the Huaxia Empire because the Huaxia Empire and the items they trade with are very good, such as chairs, beds, porcelain, tea, etc., and they feel that they can't do without the items of the Huaxia Empire after using them.

In particular, the exquisite costumes of the Chinese Empire were in the hands of the various tribal chiefs and state officials of the Pomeranian Kingdom.

In fact, the country of Pomerania, although it is called a kingdom in its name, is only a four-like country in the eyes of a real monarchical kingdom.

Although the Pomeranian Kingdom is called a kingdom, they are not really a monarchy, and the leaders of the various tribes in Pomerania are like small kings, who nominally obey the orders of the Pomeranian king within their own territory, but in fact they only send a small number of troops at most.

Unless it was in their interest, it would have been impossible for the chieftains of the Pomeranian kingdom to provide much of an army to the Pomeranian king Svitopek.

Svitopek also knew that in the future, not to mention this, I am afraid that he will be overthrown by this group of people in a few years.

So Tokanos thought of a way, that is, from time to time in the name of plunder, to recruit the armies of some tribes to send them to other countries to die, and it was in this way that Svitopek weakened the strength of various tribes.

Svitopek promised to give himself and the leaders of each clan two and eight points for each raid, two for Svitopek and eight for the chiefs of each clan.

It seems that Svitopek has lost, but if it is really said that Svitopek, who is the king of Pomerania, how can he lose.

After all, Svitopek can get a twenty percent share without having to give anything, and it is reasonable that the leaders of the various tribes of Pomerania can get eighty percent of the results with their efforts, but they are divided by many tribes together!

In the end, the results of the battle that were distributed among the tribes were at most 10%, so after King Svitopek came a few more times, the leaders of the various tribes would naturally understand that they had fallen into the trap of King Svitopek.

After all, these chieftains of the Pomeranian kingdom are not idiots, but they have lived a semi-barbaric life for a long time, so they don't know Svitopek's routine at first, but as they come a few more times, they will find that they have not shared much of the results, but the warriors of their own tribe are gradually decreasing.

It is for this reason that they are dissatisfied with Svitopek, because they believe that Svitopek became the king of Pomerania by intrigues.

But Svitopek has become the king of the Pomeranian kingdom, and Svitopek's actions have indeed weakened their power, so naturally they can't oppose Svitopek openly.

And as the various tribes were weakened, some tribes were tempted by Svitopek's money and materials and instead took refuge in Svitopek and became Svitopek's eagle dogs.

These clan leaders found that their power had not declined but increased, and they became loyal lackeys of Svitopek.

The gray-haired Annarec's clan was one of the more powerful tribes in the Pomeranian kingdom, and Annalek resented Svitopek's weakening of his clan, which was why the Pomeranian king Svitopek would not give him a position in the state department.

The red-haired treasurer Leantulus and the spy chief were the loyal eagle dogs that Svitopek had bought, and although there were contradictions between the two, it seemed harmless to Svitopek.

And Svitopek dared to use these people so confidently because they had contradictions with each other, so they would not unite.

It's a pity that Svitopek racked his brains and couldn't stop it, nor could he stop the reality that Pomerania befriended the Chinese Empire from state officials to various tribal leaders.

It's just that at present, although this group of people in Pomerania is good friends with the Chinese Empire, they are only good friends with the merchants of the Chinese Empire.

However, Svitopek did not know that 80% of the merchants of the Chinese Empire were officials of the Empire, and more than 90% of the merchants of the Chinese Empire in the Kingdom of Pomerania were people from the departments under the command of Shangshu Feng Jialan, and this group of merchants were all officials of the Household Department of the Chinese Empire.

In fact, not only Svitopek didn't know, but even the ordinary people of the Chinese Empire didn't know that most of the merchants were actually official officials of the empire, which was the so-called state-owned economy in the mouth of Gao Yang Yajun, the holy son of the Chinese Empire.

Following

In the castle palace of the Pomeranian Kingdom, Svitopek looked at the various clan leaders and Pomeranian state officials in front of him and asked, "Have you thought it through after you went back yesterday?" What are you going to do about the Kingdom of Poland? ”

The white-haired Annalek stared at Svitopek seriously and said, "Svitopek, my tribe has decided to send 20,000 warriors to follow you south to attack the Kingdom of Poland. ”

"Hmm!" Svitopek nodded, then looked at the other departments and asked, "What about you?" ”

"Ten thousand warriors from my tribe!"

"My tribe also produces 10,000 warriors!"

"There are not many people in my tribe, and I will send five thousand warriors!"

"I'll send four thousand warriors!"

"I'll give you two thousand warriors!"

As Annarek spoke, the other tribal leaders spoke to Svitopek.

In a short time, the Kingdom of Pomerania had recruited 112,000 warriors.

Svitopek nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke: "The imperial court will send another fifteen thousand troops to the south with the tribe's 112,000 warriors!" ”

Svitopek looked at the gray-haired Annarec and said: "O most valiant Annarek of Pomerania, this king has appointed you as the military governor of the Kingdom of Pomerania, and you have sent the 127,000-strong army south to attack the Kingdom of Poland on behalf of the king, and you will only hand over 10% of the proceeds to the king, and the rest will be your spoils, including the national army. ”

"Huh?" The white-haired Annalek glanced at Svitopek suspiciously, he didn't expect Svitopek to make him the main general, but Annarek still agreed: "Well, I know!" ”

The next day, when the armies of the various tribes were assembled, Annarek led the 127,000-strong army to the Greater Polish Principality of the Kingdom of Poland, wearing armor bought from the merchants of the Chinese Empire.
