Chapter 1208: Sunset Red
Fayunna didn't mean to stop, he threw the booklet in his hand in front of everyone, and continued, "Although I don't understand the intention of the Easterners to abandon Psk City, what is hidden in it is definitely not that simple, and the Germans may not be able to hold Psk City if they occupy it. If you can take the city of Kyiv, then it makes sense to capture the city of Psk, but if you can't move the city of Kyiv, will you occupy the city of Psk to see the scenery? So, it's too early to say who wins and who loses. Today, there is a message to you, please remember that people save and lose land, and people and land survive. People lose their land, and they lose their land. The ownership of the Istrian Heights is not determined by the gains and losses of one city or one place, but by whoever has the power in his hands and who can make good use of the power in his hands, who can completely control the Istrian Heights. At least, from the current point of view, the Germanic people's combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and the Orientals have not been greatly affected. As long as you have enough strength, you can take back what you have lost, on the contrary, if you don't have enough strength in your hands, even if you are given ten cities, can you hold it? ”
Favanna's words lingered in his ears for a long time, and some of them were like a hammer, directly changing the way of thinking of some Danish aristocrats. Quasimoto is not a stupid person, he can sit in Kalmar City and maneuver between the major forces, he is a smooth person himself, and his mind is also very clear. Fayunna's words sound a little suspicious of increasing the morale of others, but if you think about it carefully, there is no lack of truth in it, the Orientals fought from Siberia to the city of Kiev, and now they have swallowed Kipros, and their strength has reached a higher level, and when it comes to hard power, the Orientals are much stronger, how can they give the city of Psk to the Germans in vain. In fact, the Orientals of Psk City did not do their best to defend it, although all the cavalry was sent to the Ryazan River, but with the strength that the Orientals had shown before, relying on the Stronghold City of Psk, it may not be impossible to fight. Quasimotu is a man who can afford to let go, and since he has figured out the truth, there is no need to upset Fayuna again. Seeing that the idea of instigating troops could not be realized, Quasimotu immediately stood up and saluted the nobles, "Everyone has heard the words of His Royal Highness the Prince clearly, it seems that the Easterners are probably planning something, we don't need to wade into these troubled waters, just leave it to the Germans to toss." ”
In fact, most of the Danish nobles have now given up the idea of attacking the Rogda hills, after all, no matter how good the money is, it is not possible to spend it without life. Soon Quasimotu and the others withdrew from the castle one after another, and the look on Faunna's face was a little cloudy, and Quasimotu became more and more dishonest. In fact, what does Quasimotu think, Fayunna knows very well in his heart, this guy is ambitious, and he is a little unwilling to nest in Kalmar City, and now the Kingdom of Denmark is using troops against Yellinburg, but its attitude is not resolute. Quasimotu did so many things, just hoping that the Kingdom of Denmark and the Eastern Empire would have a mortal enmity and start an all-out war, in this way, Kalmar City, as the rear of Yerinburg, would have a more stable position, and the Quasimotu family would naturally rise and raise thieves with self-respect, which is what he said. In the war with the Eastern Empire, I don't know if others will lose or earn, but the Quasimotu family will definitely earn enough. The consequences of a full-scale development with the Eastern Empire are unpredictable, and if they can really defeat the Eastern Empire, they would have used troops against Kipros a long time ago. Hmph, once the war starts, if you can't defeat the Orientals, the Kingdom of Denmark will inevitably retreat, and the Quasimotu family will change directions and bow down at that time, and they will become the pawns of the Orientals, counting on the Quasimotu family to be loyal to the Danish Kingdom, unless the sun hits the west and comes out.
I came to Kipros to make a profit, I can catch it, I can catch it, I will withdraw if I can't get it, and start an all-out war with the Orientals, and he Fayunna is not old and confused. At least, the current Kingdom of Denmark must not be in full conflict with the Eastern Empire, the Germans on the Isle of Zealand are pressing step by step, the English are making more and more trouble, Norway and the Swedes in the north have broken free from the Danish royal family, it can be said that the current Kingdom of Denmark has too many things to solve. It is true that the Orientals are ambitious and may not stop at Kipros, but even if the Orientals want to fight the Baltic, they will have to solve the problems of the Germans first. Therefore, the current Kingdom of Denmark only needs to maintain unity with the Germanic people and not let the Germanic people collapse too quickly.
Since the deliberations of Yellinburg, the Danes began to recycle, and as time went on, it soon entered October, and Yellinburg was located in the Northland, which was already relatively cold, just in October, and when traveling, they had to wear thick leather coats on board. Favanna led several of his own soldiers from camp to barracks, and to his delight, the soldiers were obedient and did not harm the people of Kiporos. If the Slavs are mutilated, the nature will change, things can be robbed, but the slaughter of the Slavic people, I'm afraid the Easterners will not give up. The garrison in the Rogda Hills did not decrease, and at the end of September, more than 3,000 cavalry entered the vicinity of the Rogda Hills, greatly enhancing the mobility of the Rogda garrison. Fayuna was glad that he was not instigated by Quasimotu and the others, and if he attacked the Rogda hills, he was afraid that he would be unlucky. It's not that the Orientals are incapable of going to war, but they don't want to engage in further conflict, and Fayuna has been waiting for the Orientals to negotiate, but the Orientals have no intention of negotiating at all, which is really surprising.
Kyiv City, after more than two months of construction, the streets are clean, the security situation is more than ten times better, the market is prosperous, the original rat area is still in full swing of reconstruction, and the newly established trade area is bound to become the most prosperous place in Kiev City. October is coming, the weather is getting cooler and colder, and although the city of Psk has fallen, it has not had much impact on ordinary people, and they can live as they want. At noon on this day, Zhao Yougong accompanied Xiao Zhiyun to the small flower garden in the north of the manor. seems to be calm, but in fact, military newspapers everywhere have been sent to Kyiv City, Xiao Zhiyun waved the flower hoe in her hand, and His Royal Highness Zhao moved a chair, so he sat next to him and watched the excitement, which made Xiao Meiren angry, "You are really a person, can't you help?" There is news from the Rogda hills that the Danes are further shrinking their forces, and it seems that they don't want to further conflict, don't you really want to talk to the Danes? ”
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Yougong smiled and shook his head, he didn't have the heart to negotiate with the Danes, "There is nothing to negotiate, if you negotiate, you will inevitably have to make some agreement." This king would not do such a stupid thing and put himself in shackles. That's good, the Danes don't attack, we don't attack either. Anyway, the Danes are guilty of plundering Kipros, and when we regain our strength, we will have plenty of reasons to attack the Baltics. So, the negotiation must not be negotiated, once there is an agreement, there is no reason to attack the Baltic, although this king does not care much about these things, but he can be famous, why should he be a rogue bully? You must remember that we are now the Heavenly Empire, the embodiment of justice, and we must have a fair and honest reason for everything. ”
Xiao Zhiyun's delicate body trembled, the flower hoe in her hand fell into the dirt, her delicate face was full of shame, and she turned her head and glanced at her man, "Just your mouth, black can be said to be white, and you will swallow the Baltic Sea with the idea of swallowing it tomorrow morning, and you have to advertise yourself as the embodiment of benevolence and righteousness." In my opinion, when the Dane ran into you, it was eight lifetimes of blood mold. ”
"How can you speak, woman? This king is your man" Zhao Yougong stood up, his eyes glared, his face full of anger. Where would Xiao Zhiyun be afraid, just flying with beautiful eyes, with a look of disdain, Zhao Yougong rubbed his hands and hugged the beauty directly, just when the two were laughing, there was a cough behind him. Sanniang covered her mouth and looked at the two of them with a smile, "Yerusha is back, and I heard him say that he also brought back a fat man, who seems to be a merchant from Wood Island." ”
"Wood Island?" Zhao Yougong didn't react for a while, Xiao Zhiyun whispered something in his ear, and he remembered what kind of place Wood Island was, wasn't it the royal capital of the Swedes, that is, the capital of Sweden in later generations, but now Wood Island is still a small island, and the biggest use is the Baltic Sea commercial dock. Tsk, I was really dozing off and someone sent a pillow, and I was worried that I didn't know how to meddle in the affairs of Hylalen, so I sent a merchant from Wood Island. Zhao Yougong's eyes shone brightly, Xiao Zhiyun still didn't understand, what kind of ghost idea did her man come up with, this time it was estimated that the unlucky one was a Dane.
The residents of Helalen, that is, the native Swedes, have always been at odds with the Danish royal family, and Zhao Yougong is clear about this. Now that the Danes can unite with the Germans, why doesn't he work on the Swedes? In an instant, there was an idea in his mind, leading Sanniang and the two to hurry back to the castle and enter the hall, Yerusha hurriedly came over to salute, Zhao Yougong just looked at Yerusha twice and looked back, and didn't see anyone else, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, "Why are you yourself, that Swedish fat man?" ”
Ga, Jerusha has a thousand words to say, but he swallowed them all back, His Highness is too shocking, thinking that he Jerusha is not as attractive as the Swedish fat man. Xiao Zhiyun pursed her lips, with a wicked smile on her face, the flower hoe in her hand was raised outward, and she said softly, "Don't complain, Your Highness has something important to find that Swedish fat man." Why are you still stunned, hurry up and bring someone over. ”
"Yes" Jerusha has nowhere to pour bitter water in his stomach, what is this called, what is good about that dead fat man, except for more meat, it seems that there is no other advantage. Say he can do business? It's also unlikely, if this guy had the ability, he wouldn't be able to survive until now and still be a simple businessman. It didn't take long for Sam to be taken to the Teginets manor, for him, this manor was just a legendary existence, and he never imagined that one day he would actually stand in the manor. The majestic bluestone castle is full of majesty, and the burly guards on both sides prove how noble the people in the castle are, and they are excited and afraid to meet the Oriental Emperor.
Walking into the castle step by step with a nervous mood, when Yerusha entered the door, he stopped and said with a cold face, "You should be honest for a while, don't do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise the king of heaven will not be able to protect you." ”
"Don't worry, adults, even if you have the courage to offend the Emperor of the East" Sam is telling the truth, in today's Western world, there are myths about the Emperor of the East everywhere, eating the heart of a bear and a leopard gall, dare to come nonsense in front of him. Sam hasn't lived long enough, and of course there is still some hope in her heart, will this meeting be a turning point in her life? Sam was born into a noble family, well-educated, and quite insightful about business, the only drawback was that he did not have a strong backer, and in the vicinity of the Baltic Sea, he had no backer, and he could only be a foot trader without even a plank boat.
The palace is full of gold and beautiful patterns on both sides of the corridors, and this is the holy land manor of the Slavs, a castle that has accumulated the essence of the wisdom of countless people. When I came to the hall, I saw a man and two women, the man was sitting on the main seat, wearing a very simple water-blue brocade robe, long hair tied up, and a golden scarf, is this the Emperor of the East? Sam has been following the army for many days, and has long been accustomed to the etiquette of the Han people, so he immediately bowed to the end and respectfully made a big salute, "Sam, the merchant of Wood Island, villain? Reims, see Venerable Emperor of the East. May the glory of God always protect the East, and the banner of the Empire be planted everywhere. ”
Oh, this Sam is really good at talking, but Zhao Yougong is not an ordinary person, how can he be moved by Sam's few sycophants. He smiled faintly and motioned for Sam to excuse himself, "You're Sam?" Don't be afraid, as long as it's my friend of Dasong, this king will never slack off. The Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette and will not do any harm to friends. "Of course, if you are not a friend, you can only hack to death.
Although Sam was still standing, there was already a cold sweat behind his back, and the regent of the East looked smiling and groaning, looking harmless to humans and animals, but in fact he was smiling with a knife hidden in his smile, soft and hard. Sam felt that he had no choice, he was either a friend or an enemy, he chose to be a friend, he had wine and meat, and he was not a friend, so he probably didn't want to get out of the castle alive today. The state of etiquette, the devil, Sam wants to cry without tears, in just half a month, he is like a cargo, he has changed hands several times, and now it has fallen into the hands of the regent of the East, and I am afraid that he will not be able to escape in this life. There was only one choice left for Sam, and he could only hold on firmly, "The regent can afford to look at the villain, and it's too late for the villain to be happy." The Eastern Empire is mysterious, powerful, and majestic, and it is a great honor to be a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty. If the regent has any orders, the villain will go to the soup and fire, and he will not hesitate to gamble on the reputation of the Lance family and submit to the regent's command for the rest of his life. ”
This fat man is really a smart person, Zhao Yougong doesn't care much about those so-called oaths at all, and the reputation of the Lance family can't be discarded at any time? As long as Sam is smart enough, everything is easy to say. If Da Song remains strong, Sam will not have two hearts, and this kind of smart person will always be able to make the best choice. After saying that, Zhao Yougong didn't think there was too much nonsense, so he gave the fat man a seat, and said with a pleasant face, "You are a Swedish businessman, so you should be very good at doing business, right?" This king happens to have a batch of good wine from the Great Song Dynasty here, and he needs a Swedish merchant to help sell it, I wonder if your Excellency is interested? ”
Sam's brows furrowed, his eyes narrowed, but after a little thought, he stood up abruptly and bowed, "It is the honor of the villain to be able to do things for the regent, rest assured, Your Highness, the villain will do his best to sell this batch of wine around the Baltic Sea." ”
Is it just selling alcohol? Of course it can't be, Sam knows very well that the regent wants to support him to be the spokesperson of Wood Island. Once you have the background of a regent, you are not a simple businessman, but an aristocratic politician, even if the royal family of Helaren sees him, I am afraid that they will have to give up three points, near the Baltic Sea, who dares not to give face to the Emperor of the East? agreed, even if he was labeled as a Great Song Dynasty, he needed to mention the regent to do a lot of things, but Sam didn't care, what about being a Song person, in his opinion, since the regent wanted to stretch his hand to Wood Island, he must be interested in the Baltic Sea, if one day, the Eastern Empire swallowed the Baltic Sea, he Sam would become the most powerful Hylaren in the Baltics. A businessman, to be able to do this level, is definitely favored by God.
"Very well, Sam, you are a very clever man, and this king will not let me tell you directly. The ambitions of the Empire will never stop at Kipros, one day, the Imperial army will definitely open the road to the North Sea and build a road that runs from east to west, and what you have to do is to use the support of this king to become the most powerful person on the island of Hylaren Wood, and make more friends with those Hylaren nobles to promote an alliance between the Empire and Hyclaren. If you can do this, this king promises you that you will become the greatest hero of the Reims family" Zhao Yougong kept drawing a big pie, this big cake is beautiful, but it is also not so easy to get. Sam was enthusiastic, he decided to take a gamble, either go to heaven or hell, no matter what the result was, at least he tried to fight for it, "Your Royal Highness the Regent, the villain will do his best to do this, but, the villain has a reluctant request, the villain also has a sister, now on Wood Island, can you take Kyiv City?" ”
