Chapter 373: Congratulations on Victory
Returning to Mill with Daenerys, Malwyn, Tyrion and others, the troops led by Ambrosius, Gawain, and Lancelot have already marched to the land of strife.
The arrival of the two dragons made Mill's new freedmen surprised and frightened at first, but at the sight of the prince on the dragon's back, they immediately became fanatical and happy.
Strong force will ensure their existing goodness!
Moreover, Mill's conquest of the Troubled Lands, everyone took their victory for granted!
When she arrives in Mill, Daenerys is not happy even though her fiancé is warmly welcome.
Especially when she saw Ygritte, Jon's children, and Missandei, she felt ashamed of her nephew Jon, her nephew, Gray Bug and Missandei, and she didn't get back the Iron Throne that belonged to the Dorag family.
"Dani, there are still many slaves suffering in the nine free trade city-states, and they need to be liberated and saved. ”
"Will you help me?"
Knowing that his fiancée was in a bad mood and that it was useless to explain, Arthur simply found something for her to do.
Mill's government affairs were well organized.
Issues such as economy, trade, public security, people's livelihood, and construction are handled by grassroots and middle-level officials, and important affairs are also handled by the Bachelor's Group.
Having learned about Mill's situation, Daenerys felt that she couldn't help at all, or even very useless!
"I do, but I don't know what to do. ”
Seeing that his fiancée agreed, Arthur immediately took out the prepared documents: "Look at this first, this is my political proposition, some political ideas, and Mill's construction and development plan." ”
"This is my speculation on the problems that will be encountered in the future development, construction, governance and trade, and a brief list of solutions to the problems. ”
Looking at the pile of papers brought by her fiancé, Daenerys was stunned, and Marwyn, Tyrion, and Varys next to her looked at each other.
The same is the leader.
Why is there such a big gap between Daenerys and Arthur?
Looking through the documents, the Dragon Queen also understood why she governed King's Landing for so long, why she couldn't send troops to deal with Robert for so long, and why the believers of the Seven Gods in the city would fight with the Red God Priests.
Thinking back to her time in Meereen and the city of King's Landing that she had just left, she couldn't help but ask, "Arthur, do you really believe that I have the ability to govern Mill well?"
"Of course, with Dr. Ryan's help, it won't be difficult to govern Mill. ”
Arthur nodded, "I believe in you, just as you believe in me, and I believe in Tyrion and Dr. Malween." ”
"Still, I want to take Jaime Lannister to the Land of Discord. ”
Hearing this, Daenerys immediately glanced at her fiancé: "You can't choose someone else?"
"There are many powerful knights, but I really don't have a good commander, a general with excellent command ability. Arthur was depressed.
If he had a commander as good as Robert, Randolph, Robb, and Francis Sr., he wouldn't have used Jaime Lannister.
Tyrion felt that the prince had interceded for his eldest brother several times.
But he also knows the temper of the Dragon Queen, and the crime of killing the king cannot be forgiven.
Before I knew it, it was noon again, and when I learned that my sister-in-law had arrived, the burns had healed, and Shireen and Vanessa, who had been brought to Mill, brought food to everyone.
For the prince, doctors, and bachelors, the conference room is like a restaurant, because they are too busy to leave.
Hearing Brother Tang's words, Shireen plucked up her courage: "Brother, can I recommend Davos?"
"Davos Seaworth?"
Hearing this, Arthur was stunned for a moment, not his cousin mentioned it, he forgot about the onion knight who once served as the prime minister of the king of Dragonstone.
Because of Shireen's experience and loyalty to Stannis, Onion Knight has always been by her side to take care of her.
When Telosi founded the school, Davos, who was not well educated, also came to the school to take classes.
"Didn't he take part in the official assessment?"
Feeling everyone's gaze, Shilin suddenly became nervous: "No, he thinks his knowledge is not enough." ”
Arthur smiled, "Can you name a reason for recommending him?"
"Why do you recommend it?"
As the only daughter of the king of Dragonstone, Shirin, who has received an elite education since she was a child, will not be stupid, and if she says that he will take care of herself, she is a little apprehensive after thinking about it: "Davos has completed his coursework in accounting, economics, and law, and is studying history. ”
"I think he has what it takes to do any job......"
Hearing this, Arthur smiled and was happy for his sister's growth.
"And what position did you recommend him for?"
"What position?"
Although she had learned a lot of knowledge, Shireen knew nothing about it, and Mill's officials had a clear division of labor, which was very different from the noble appointments she had been in contact with, so she lowered her head when she couldn't think of it: "I don't know....."
"Sister, don't be shy, I know Davos's talent. ”
"We all know that. ”
Arthur patted her on the shoulder and said, "I accept your recommendation, let Davos come to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow to participate in the official examination." ”
"Assessment?"
Daenerys, Tyrion, Marwin and Jorah didn't understand why Arthur had taken the extra step since he had accepted the recommendation.
Seeing her sister Shilin and everyone with puzzled faces.
Arthur explains: "In addition to determining Davos's ability, the assessment can also see what he is good at, so that it can be better assigned to the position. ”
Malvin glanced at his old rival from School City and asked, "What about me and Tyrion?"
Arthur said: "Also take the test." ”
"Anyone who becomes an official must be examined, this is the rule set by His Highness, and you are a magician and a scholar. Dr. Ryan said sternly.
Daenerys raised an eyebrow, looked at her fiancé and said, "What about me?"
Arthur shrugged apologetically, "After reading my papers, you will also have to go through Dr. Ryan's assessment." ”
"What?" the Dragon Queen was speechless, "I'm your fiancée!"
"Uh... I'm going to the Land of Discord, then, Jaime Lannister...... Can I take it?" Arthur immediately changed the subject.
"You can take Jorah!"
"Otherwise, go back to Vislot and ask your father for Jon and the Grey Worm to come back!"
Looking at the expressionless and obviously unhappy Dragon Queen, Arthur was very helpless: "Jorah is your iron guard, to protect you, how can I take him away?"
"As for going back to Westeros?"
"It's too far..."
"Jon and the Grey Bug, I'll write to Ryan and Varian and ask them to release them. ”
didn't let his fiancée let Jaime Lannister go, Arthur thought about it, explained the affairs and didn't stop in Mill, and took people away directly without telling Daenerys.
In the Governor's Palace, looking at her fiancé who rode away on a dragon, Daenerys was full of helplessness and depression.
She knew that Arthur couldn't convince herself, so she would just take people away!
......
The days of being locked in a dungeon and waiting for death are very difficult, and Jaime Lannister is mentally prepared to die, and as time goes by, his heart becomes more and more depressed and uncomfortable.
He knew that he had not been executed because of the efforts of his brother Tyrion.
However.
Even more surprising to the Kingkiller is the Red Keep stormed by a mob, King's Landing loses control, and the Dragon Queen is assassinated and falls into a coma.
Suddenly, they lost the Iron Throne in a daze.
And Tyrion and Varys are going to leave King's Landing with them!
After crossing the Narrow Sea to reach Mil in Essos, Jaime Lannister did not expect that the brilliant bastard would still be willing to let him go.
even pleaded with the Dragon Queen several times for this......
On the back of the dragon, looking at Arthur, who was sitting defenseless in front of him and planning to reuse himself, the monarch killer was in an extremely complicated mood.
"Your Highness, you believe that?"
"I didn't believe it that way. Hearing Jaime Lannister's words, Arthur shook his head and smiled, "I just need a military staff officer." ”
"I can't think of anyone else who can do it, so I have to choose you. ”
As a prince who has mastered holy light and magic, has strong military force and is knowledgeable, and has a great future, if you want to find military talents, you only need to send someone to send a message, and Randolph Tully, who is known as the tiger general, will definitely leave the territory affairs to his son and cross the narrow sea to serve him.
And the second-level military talent will fight for this!
Military staff officers?
Jaime Lannister knows very well that anyone can do it.
Taking a deep breath, he immediately said solemnly: "Your Highness, I am very grateful for your trust and value, as long as it is your will, I will not hesitate to do it!"
Arthur chuckled: "I don't need you to go to the sea of swords and fires, give me a staff officer, help me take the land of strife, and teach me and my knights how to be a qualified commander and general." ”
"Your Highness, you're back, how is Queen Daenerys?"
The prince rode a dragon to find his army, and as soon as he landed on the ground, Ambrosius came over and asked.
"Daenerys is fine, she's already here in Mill. ”
"But," Arthur said, "Ambrosius, Gianna, LeBlanc, I need your time to investigate the curse." ”
"Curse?" Ambrosius frowned, "Your Highness's curse on the assassination touch?"
Gianna said, "Queen Daenerys has also cursed in King's Landing. ”
The old wizard's face suddenly sank: "The same?"
"It's not the same curse used by the assassin who assassinated me. Arthur shook his head.
Hearing that the prince specially allowed himself to take time to investigate, Ambrosius understood that this matter could not be simple, but it was even more difficult to find out who was behind the scenes.
"I see. ”
"Tell me about the troops. Arthur nodded and looked at the marching army, "Do we have any problems?"
"Did the scouts who sent out find any signs of the enemy?"
"Not yet. ”
Lancelot, who commanded the cavalry, replied.
Jaime Lannister, who had come down from the dragon's back, looked at the prince's army for a few moments, then frowned and asked Lancelot, "Are you the commander of the scout?"
The Kingkiller and Arthur came down from the dragon's back, and Gawain, Lancelot, and Ambrosius all saw it.
But out of disgust with the Lannister family, they all tacitly chose to ignore it, after all, it was the person brought by the prince, and they couldn't just curse and dislike it, and they lost the face of the monarch.
Hearing this, Lancelot looked at the prince to whom he was loyal.
Arthur explained, "Mr. Jaime was a staff officer I had managed to get into. ”
"Staff officer?"
Gawain, Ambrosius, and Lancelock all frowned.
"If necessary, he will also act as the commander-in-chief. Arthur said again.
Gawain: "Your Highness, isn't this a little bad?"
Arthur said: "We are only good at skirmishes, and there are too many deficiencies for commanding tens of thousands of troops. ”
Gawain and Lancelot, who had seen the commanders of Robert, Robb, Randolph and others in the Battle of Winter, and understood the gap, looked at each other when they heard this, and hesitated to ask why the prince chose the enemy as the staff officer and commander of his army.
Ambrosius groaned and asked, "Is it because Gawain and Lancelot are not experienced enough?"
"Yes. ”
Knowing the prince's character, knowing that the things he decided would not be changed easily, and everything he did was well thought out, the old wizard who heard the words nodded: "I understand." ”
Seeing that everyone didn't have much opinion on his decision, Arthur looked at the Lannister's eldest son, who was looking at the army, and asked, "Do you think my troops are a little inadequate?"
Jaime: Your Highness wants to listen to me. ”
Arthur nodded, and Gawain and Lancelot listened to his opinions.
Jaime: "Your Highness, we came down from the dragon's back, except for the first infantry phalanx and the auxiliary ranks behind it were very chaotic, the second infantry phalanx was very neatly formed, and even better than all the armies I have ever seen. ”
He frowned when he didn't know the musket: "However, I think the weapons used by the soldiers of the second infantry phalanx are a little strange, can they effectively kill and injure the enemy in battle?"
"Relax, their weapons are strong. Arthur said confidently.
Monarch Slayer: "Then, Your Highness, let's talk about the chaotic phalanx now. ”
"Behind the army, you can't put all the auxiliaries. ”
"If there is a surprise attack in the rear, the cavalry walking in the middle can indeed react quickly, but the role of the cavalry is to charge, not to block, and the infantry in front will be very hasty to move to defense. ”
Hearing Jaime Lannister's words, Arthur, Gawain, and Lancelot immediately realized their mistake.
Arthur: "Then we should disperse the infantry?"
"That's right, the cavalry was used intensively, and the infantry was scattered throughout the army. Jaime nodded: "This is a good way to react quickly when attacked." ”
After exchanging glances with Lancelot, Gawain humbly asked, "Do we have any other mistakes?"
"Yes. Jaime: "You didn't bring archers, you didn't bring ladders, catapults, or bed crossbows. ”
"Isn't Your Highness planning to attack the city?"
Lancelot: "We have better siege weapons, a thousand times better than ladders, catapults, and bed crossbows. ”
Thinking that the prince was good at inventing and creating, Jaime didn't ask much, and continued to put forward the shortcomings of the troops: "Food, grass and logistics materials cannot be put in one place. ”
"The auxiliary corps was dispersed again, and let them carry food and grass behind the two infantry teams, and the logistics remained in the rear. ”
"To do this, it is still to prevent enemy attacks. ”
"Food, grass and supplies are very important, once there is an enemy attack, we must first protect the grain, grass and logistics materials under the condition of ensuring that we will not be defeated, let the infantry defend as usual, and then send cavalry to attack......"
"Choose the terrain where you want to camp...... At the riverside to prevent ....... Beware in the woods..... At the foot of the mountain, on the mountainside, on the top of the mountain......"
"Preparations before the start of the war...... Classes and formations...... Command ...... in wartime"
As a traverser.
Arthur, who had been a librarian in his previous life, was considered very knowledgeable.
But he had never fought a war, and if he wanted to know these details, he could only slowly grope through the war and summarize it by experience.
Although the scholars have a knowledge of war.
However, they are theoretical, and like Arthur, the actual operation must be experienced by commanders and generals.
Ask the monarch killer to be a staff officer, this move is barely wrong.
...... To be continued......
