William manipulated the layout of Italy on the one hand, and on the other hand, he did not dare to relax on the counterinsurgency war in the Kingdom of England, the counterinsurgency war in Aquitaine in France, and the Barcelona Holy War in Zaragoza, and every day he asked Phaleosbourne to bring him the latest war reports and battlefield intelligence.

After the Great War with the HRE Empire, it didn't take long for there to be three wars, and it was really ruthless enough to think about it, and it was no wonder that Prime Minister Ladolph often came to him to cry poor.

Fortunately, with the smooth issuance of new coins and the smooth issuance of war bonds, the Norman kingdom had the capital to continue the war.

The counterinsurgency war in the Aquitaine region of the Kingdom of France was coming to an end, except for Berthena II, Duke of Gascogne, who was still stubbornly resisting, the rest of the rebel princes all bowed down, their territories and titles were all taken away by William, and they themselves were either captured by William and thrown into the dungeon, or abandoned their territories and armies to go to other countries.

The counterinsurgency wars in Aquitaine and Gascony were coming to an end, as were the counterinsurgency wars in the Kingdom of England, as the Normans already had considerable experience in dealing with the rebels.

Under the auspices of the Duke of Richard, the Normans implemented a strict policy of relocation and sea prohibition, and within the scope of Godwin's rebels' activities, they moved the coastal population to live inland, so as to prevent the enemy from obtaining insufficient supplies to achieve the effect of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness.

Although this was a devastating loss to the inhabitants of the English coast, the strategy worked, as Godwin's rebel fleet was unable to gain a foothold on land because of the lack of supplies along the coast, and they had to roam the seas, robbing merchant ships and pirates.

After the Duke of Richard had cleared the coast of England, he began to purge the remnants of Godwin and sympathizers in England one by one. Morality. Baron Afranche, as his deputy, also began to capture the Anglo-Saxon nobles, merchants, and gentry who remained in England.

Under the orders of Duke Richard, Admiral Dirk led the main forces of three fleets with a total of more than 200 warships to keep an eye on the Godwin rebel fleet in a frantic pursuit.

It is foreseeable that the end of Godwin's rebels is not far off, and the most important thing on the battlefield in England now is how to carry out the order of William to expel the Anglo-Saxon nobles.

Although after three wars, the power of the Anglo-Saxon nobility in England was greatly damaged, most of the territory was seized by William and the Normans, and countless riches were plundered, leaving only some ruined territories to support the remaining Anglo-Saxon nobility.

But even if the Anglo-Saxon aristocracy declined to this point, they still had great influence among the people, and if they didn't do it well, they might cause a large-scale riot in England.

By this time, England had already become the second home of the Normans, an important granary and a source of taxes, and where could it withstand a rebellion that spread throughout the country.

Therefore, whether it is the respected Duke Richard or the radical Baron Richard, they are all cautious.

Putting down the war reports of England in their hands, everything was going well, more than 600 noble and gentry families had been purged, and they were concentrated in the concentration camps of Wessex on charges of being traitors to Godwin, and what awaited them was the fate of expulsion from other countries.

"Your Majesty, this is a battle report that has just been sent from the front line in Zaragoza, please take a look." Fallosbourne got down on one knee, gathered the battle report over his head, and presented it respectfully.

William took the battle report, spread it out and looked through it carefully, "The battlefield of Zaragoza is so chaotic? William frowned and looked at Farle Osborne.

"Back to Your Majesty, in addition to our own and the Kingdom of Castile, the Kingdom of Navarre, the Kingdom of Aragon, and the Duchy of Barcelona have also sent troops to Zaragoza in an attempt to fish in troubled waters.

Fortunately, our troops were dispatched in time, and at present, the country of Lerida has been completely occupied by our side, but because of the competition of the Duchy of Barcelona, we only got the city of Tarragona and half of the territory, and the rest are under the control of the Barcelona army.

In addition, the kingdoms of Navarra and Aragon each occupied the city of Aragon in Zaragoza, and Alvaracín, the capital of Caspe and Albarracín. Fallosborne explained to William the chaos on the battlefield of Zaragoza: "The chaos in Zaragoza does not end there. Hood invited the southern Emir states of Zulenen-Toledo and Aftahid-Badajos to join the war.

These two countries were no weaker than the Kingdom of Castile, and together they were comparable to His Majesty Ferdinand I, who owned Castile, León and Galicia.

Today you will gain a city, tomorrow you will lose a city, the forces of the two sides are criss-crossed, and the direct teaching people are dazzled. ”

Whether it's Zaragoza, Toledo, Badajoz, Córdoba, Grenada, these emir states were actually part of the former vast Arab empire, called the "State of Al-Andalus", ruled by the Umayyad dynasty. In ancient China, it was called "green clothes and big food".

From the 8th century to the 11th century, the power of the *** empire expanded, and the Arabs also brought with them the most advanced knowledge in medicine, mathematics and astronomy, and left a deep mark on the music, art, literature, and architecture of Spain.

The famous Alhambra is the pinnacle of Arabic art. At the same time, Arabic has left many words in Spanish.

The most important cities of the time were Valencia, Zaragoza, Seville and Córdoba, all founded by the Arabs, with half a million inhabitants and a huge library, which was the largest city and cultural center in Western Europe in the 10th century.

However, by the 11th century, the constant infighting among the 39 princes of the royal family caused the *** empire to fall apart, and finally the powerful Umayyad split into the current emir states, large and small.

But even when these emir states were divided, there was an alliance between them, and in the event of a Christian invasion of the south, they would unite to fight the enemy.

William pressed his temples lightly, frowned, and said: "Rodrigo, they don't have good contact with my father-in-law, Ferdinand I, we are allies, allies who advance and retreat together, as long as we cooperate well, whether it is two powerful reinforcements from the Emir State, or three small countries that are trying to fish in troubled waters, their attempts will not succeed."

Let Rodrigo, Otto and Robert consult with my father-in-law, Ferdinand I, how to use the reinforcements of these emirs to expel the forces of Navarre, Aragon and Barcelona from Zaragoza. ”
