Chapter 1284: Live with Pride

It is likely that there will be a lot of war in the future, but it is entirely possible to implement the strategy of feeding the war with war. In the Great Song Dynasty, the power of the Chai clan was greatly damaged, and it was suppressed to the death in the Bashu area, the Kipros area, and the Dingguo army also achieved an overwhelming advantage, to be precise, there were not too many worries, and there was no problem at all in building the Imperial Avenue at this time. With this imperial avenue, it was possible to further strengthen the ties between East and West and better control the western territories.

Looking at the shocked look on everyone's faces, Xiao Zhiyun took out a document and said slowly, "The Imperial Avenue must be repaired, and everyone must know very well that from Siberia to Kiporos, the biggest problem is that the road is rugged, because the road is difficult to walk, the entire convoy from Siberia takes four months to pass through the Tyusuming jungle. If there is this wide and flat official road, the time can be shortened by at least half, and if you switch to horse-drawn carriages, plus the post stations along the way, it is definitely not a myth to arrive in forty days. With this official road, not only the transportation of materials but also troops will be greatly improved, and once an abnormal situation occurs, reinforcements can be obtained in time. In short, with this official road, there are many benefits. ”

With Xiao Zhiyun's explanation, everyone in the hall looked different, the Slavic subordinates led by Luo Weidenov had a very bad face, but Gao Zhong and the others showed excited expressions on their faces. Before, Lovednov didn't think too far, and the reason why he opposed it was because he felt that the construction of the Imperial Avenue at this time would cost the people and money, and there would be no benefit at all. Today's Kipros is full of holes and needs to be rebuilt everywhere, how can there be capital to build the Imperial Avenue? Now that Xiao Zhiyun's words have stopped, he has discovered that there are so many things hidden behind this Imperial Avenue, this is simply a bloodline of life, once the Imperial Avenue is completed, the resources of the Oriental people will continue to flow into Kipros, and over time, they will be integrated. The real terrifying thing about the regent in front of him is not that he has a strong army, but that his vision is many times more far-reaching than others, "Regent, the principalities of Kipros are in ruins, and I am afraid that the Imperial Avenue will not be able to be built in a short time." ”

"What Lord Luo Weide said is that this king has already dealt with it, the Imperial Avenue is related to the interests of many people, once completed, the tax revenue brought by the circulation of goods alone is immeasurable, and I believe that there will be many nobles who are tempted. Half a month ago, the king had already sent someone back to Bianliang to submit the outline for the construction of the Imperial Avenue, and soon the Northern Pioneer Group would be formed, and the imperial court and the private chamber of commerce would contribute together, so Lord Luo Weide didn't have to worry about these things" Zhao Yougong laughed secretly in his heart, Luo Weide did not agree to build the Imperial Avenue, that is for sure, although Luo Weidenov has surrendered to the Dingguo army, he has not yet broken away from the inherent Western concept, and he always considers himself a Slav. However, there is no need to worry too much, as long as the Imperial Avenue is built, after decades of circulation, this ethnic barrier will slowly disappear. The corrosion of civilization is imperceptible, and low-level civilizations will involuntarily move closer to high-level civilizations, after all, people are pursuing a better life, "The things of the Northern Pioneer Group have been basically decided, and the people who go to the pioneers will not only have food and shelter, but also be allocated land, I believe there will be many people who are tempted." It is not the Imperial Highway that we have to worry about now, but the Germans and the Danes, and two days ago the garrison near Yelinburg received news that a Danish cavalry was approaching the Baltic. ”

Zhao Yougong's time in Kiporos is not short, but he still lacks enough understanding of the Baltic Sea, let alone the Kingdom of Denmark? As for the situation in the Kingdom of Denmark, it can be said that nothing is known, and as Wofrey moved closer to the Dingguo Army, which also meant that the Caucasus was no longer a problem, what would be the reaction of the Germanic and Eastern Romans? Neither Dorle nor Schwein were fuel-efficient lamps, and the old Duke of Saxony, Lothair, was even more of a headache, and they would be fools if they didn't make some trouble. The Danes sent troops to the Baltic Sea, and I am afraid that they could not be separated from the Germans. Gao Zhong and the others had a blank look on their faces, they had no concept of the Baltic Sea or even the Danes, who knew what Denmark was? Luo Weidenov naturally knows the Danes best, in the past, when the eighteen principalities of Kipulus were fighting with each other, the Danes did not cross the Baltic Sea and plunder the northern principalities of Kipros, so his impression of the Danes was not very good, "His Royal Highness the Regent, seeing that it is the autumn harvest season again, it is estimated that the Danes are coming for food this time." The previous great plague ravaged all countries, and the Danes had a hard time, and food must not be given up, so this battle was inevitable. ”

"I'm afraid it's not just the problem of food, but it doesn't matter if the Danes fight the Baltic Sea or not, anyway, sooner or later they will have to do something to the Danes" Zhao Yougong smiled at the corner of his mouth, he threw out the Danish question at this time, naturally he was afraid of the Danes, but he wanted to implement another thing openly, "Because the Danish threat is imminent, the army restructuring is imminent, and the king decided that two days later, the servant armies in Kipros will be dispersed, and the soldiers and horses of the Dingguo Army headquarters will also be scattered and reorganized." In addition, the king has set a rule that no matter who it is, it will be treated equally, and there shall be no discrimination in the army. In the army, there is a Chinese language teaching class, and all the grassroots officers are pulled to the training class to learn Chinese, do they all understand it? ”

Zhao Yougong's words were like a bloody knife stabbed in Luo Weidenov's heart, although he had known about the military restructuring for a long time, but when it was really put on the agenda, he still couldn't help but tremble, once the restructuring was completed, there would be no more Slavic corps. The Chinese language teaching class is a knife that kills people without seeing blood, so that after ten years, who will remember what the Slavic Corps is? Gao Zhong and the others showed disdain, according to their meaning, those Slavic soldiers were just thrown directly into the Qiusuming jungle to open up the wasteland, what kind of army restructuring is simply a superfluous move. Dongfang Jin behaved quite calmly, the military restructuring will inevitably cause a turmoil, and many unpredictable things will happen, but this step must be taken, and no matter how much risk there is, it must be borne, if this step is not taken, Kipros will not be able to become the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. People lose their land, people and land are lost, and they can't control people, Kipros is unstable after all, seeing the mixed reactions of his subordinates, Dongfang Jin returned to his usual shrewdness and slowly stood up, "A certain family reminds everyone again, the military restructuring is related to the stability of the next hundred years, and things must be done according to the rules, and no one can disobey." His Royal Highness has just said that in the face of military law, no one is treated equally, who dares to cause trouble, and will not be spared, do you understand? The military restructuring will be led by me and Lord Luo Weide, everything is based on the overall situation, there must be no negligence, Concubine Hu will personally lead the military justice department, and those who dare to make trouble will all be sent to the military justice department. ”

Everyone's hearts were in shock, especially Gao Chong, Shi Wengong and others, all of them straightened their faces, and at this time they realized that there was no joke in it. These people are a little disdainful of the Slavic generals of Lovidnov, and they always feel that these people should not be taken seriously, just a group of generals, it is good enough not to kill them, and they will also serve in the military with their mother. If Dongfang Jin hadn't said that, Shi Wengong would have stood up and argued a few words, but now, Shi Wengong didn't have the courage to stand up and provoke at this time, wouldn't he hit the muzzle of the gun, Dongfang Jin really wanted to take the opportunity to stand up, even His Highness couldn't say anything. The faces of Gao Zhong and the others were a little ugly, but the Slavic generals led by Levednov were happy. After surrendering to the Eastern Army, these people have been living cautiously, for fear that one of them will be pulled out and cut down by accident, a group of surrendered generals are just good, it is good to be alive, and they dare not ask for too much. In the past, the principality fought against the Germans and the Danes, and after the defeat, they were all used as slaves, but now this treatment is simply overjoying. It was not until this moment that the Slavic commanders really felt the difference between the Orientals, they were not blindly tyrannical. Zhao Yougong and Xiao Zhiyun showed sincerity, as the most prestigious leader of Kipros, Luo Weidenov couldn't help but express it, stood up, smiled at Dongfang Jin and nodded his thanks, and said loudly, "The military restructuring is beneficial to Kipros and not harmful, as long as it can be treated fairly, the subordinates swear to His Highness that they will do their best to help Mr. Dongfang complete this reform." Slavic children should swear allegiance to the death and never betray. ”

Luo Weidenov is a smart person, Zhao Yougong glanced at it with a smile, and didn't say much. Since he wants to put Kiplas on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, fairness and justice must be adhered to, and he, Zhao Yougong, as the actual ruler of the Great Song Dynasty, must also lead by example, "Lord Luo Weide can rest assured, from now on, the people of Kipros will also be the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they should be fair and just regardless of you and me." This king has said that the army does not discriminate equally, and he will not lose his trust. ”

With the end of this grand meeting, a military restructuring that decided the centuries-old Great Song Dynasty was vigorously launched in Kipros. In this restructuring, the Mongols, Siberians, Song people, and Slavs were broken up and reorganized, and Chinese language classes were also established one after another. Entering August, Kipros was a busy scene, the army was very frequent, at first many Slavs were still worried, after all, the Orientals were conquerors, once the reform was successful, the Slavic children were all scattered, and if the Orientals wanted to kill the killers, then there would be no capital to resist at all. Of course, in doing so, the Orientals also faced great risks, but the Slavs felt that if they really wanted to fight, they still couldn't beat the Orientals. This panic spread, and it couldn't be stopped, and Zhao Yougong didn't deliberately defend anything, there is a way, facts speak louder than words, and many things have been understood for a long time. The Istrian Highlands, centered on the city of Vladimir, formed eight large battalions, which were dedicated to the reorganization of the Istrian army. Nowadays, on the Istrian Heights, the soldiers and horses of all parties are combined, with a total of 140,000, and such a large number of soldiers and horses are obviously not suitable for reorganization near the city of Kiev. At the same time, Yang Zaixing personally led his troops and built two lines of defense near the Suzdal River, with the aim of preventing the rebels from storming the city of Kiev.

The biggest reaction to this military restructuring was not the Slavs, but the Mongols, and when the official document on the military restructuring was issued, many Mongolian nobles were dissatisfied. To be precise, the Mongols and the Dingguo army were not monolithic, and the Mongol nobles came to Kiporos to plunder profits. Now to carry out the army restructuring, this is simply a bald lice, and it could not be clearer, the regent wants to collect the military power, so that the combat effectiveness is up, but the military power in his hands is gone. Without military power, wouldn't the so-called Mongol aristocracy become a group of rich people? What's even worse is that once the reform is successful, it will directly affect the situation of the Mongolian Plateau, and the Mongolian Plateau will completely become the territory of the Great Song Dynasty in the future. The restructuring of the army can be described as killing many birds with one stone, and the Mongolian nobles are not fools, how can they be restrained? More than a dozen Mongol nobles led by Tengguer, on August 14 of the fifth year of Taikang, suddenly led more than 8,000 Mongolian servants through Komi and headed in the direction of the Qiusuming jungle.

There was an abnormality on the Mongols' side, and Hai Dongzhu, who was the actual ruler of the Mongolian servant army, immediately got the news, Yelena, Uhelizha and others all sat on both sides, Hai Dongzhu's eyes were cloudy, and he clenched his fists tightly. In the long run, the military restructuring will be beneficial and harmless, and although the Mongolian Plateau will eventually become the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the Mongolian people will get substantial benefits. But these things cannot be explained, and even if they do, those people may not listen. People's vision is different, some people can only see the interests in front of them, and some people can see the scenery ten steps away, for these short-sighted people, they can only be heavy-handed. This is Kipros, the Danes and the Germans have never passed up the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, and there is no time for the Mongol nobles to think slowly. Hai Dongzhu is not a cold-hearted person, she is innocent and supple, and has a gentle temperament, but the current situation makes her have no other choice, "Yelena, you inform the southern garrison of Yangmar to quickly go north, go straight to the edge of the jungle of Qiu Suming, and lead your cavalry to kill from the east of the Principality of Komi, you must stop these people." ”

Yelena knew that Hai Dongzhu was ruthless, but she didn't push too much, and took the order and left the castle hall. On 16 August, the Mongol army led by Teng Guer had arrived at the outskirts of the Qiusuming jungle, and as soon as they entered the jungle, they would have escaped into the sea and ascended to heaven. Teng Guer has always been careful, he is calm on the surface, but in fact he is worried to death, Hai Dongzhu is the regent's woman, how can he sit idly by. There are also some Siberian cavalry under the command of Uhejiazha, although these Siberian cavalry are not as elite as the cavalry of the ancient town, but they are also skilled in archery and horses, once they catch up, with more than 8,000 people under their hands, it is not so easy to escape.

"Khan, our department is already twenty miles away from the Qiusuming jungle, and no trace of the enemy has been found yet" The spies' return not only failed to appease Tengguer's heart, but made him even more worried. The most tribal khan, who has participated in countless crusades, still understands some military common sense. There must be a demon when things go wrong, the calmer it is, the more wrong it is, "Inform all the troops and horses, rest in place, Su Muhe, disperse your cavalry, Ben Khan must know the traces of the enemy, Hai Dongzhu, that woman will not let us leave." ”

Su Muhe has more than 1,000 tribal cavalry under his hands, and he is highly valued by Tengguer, and because Tengguer can make friends, the relationship between the two is very good. Seeing Teng Guer's abnormal expression, Su Muhe also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly dispersed the soldiers and horses. Thousands of cavalry sounds like a lot, but scattered around the Qiusuming jungle, it still doesn't seem enough. Yelena has been lying in ambush at the edge of the jungle, but when she heard the news that Tengguer was not moving, she couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment, "This Tengguer is not stupid, I know that someone will stop me, since this is the case, then let's not hide." ”

Yelena led the ambush troops out of the edge of the jungle, and a total of more than 5,000 allied troops formed two phalanxes, completely blocking Komi's way into the Tyusumin jungle. Tengur could also take a detour, but that would inevitably delay for a day or two, which is obviously unrealistic. Yelena's soldiers and horses were in front of her, Teng Guer's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and her eyes were spewing fire, fortunately cautious enough, if she hadn't rested on the spot, it was estimated that she would have fallen into Yelena's ambush circle at this time. Teng Guer had a headache, although there were more than 8,000 people under his hands, and most of them were cavalry, but Yelena's coalition army was not vegetarian, and the phalanx composed of spears and thick shields was specially prepared for cavalry, "Su Muhe, what should we do now?" Now that Yelena has arrived, it is estimated that Uhezha is about the same, once we are attacked from both sides, we will definitely lose. ”

"Khan, do we have any other choice, we must fight quickly, most of us are cavalry, if we attack and contain on the periphery, we should be able to bypass the opponent's defense line and enter the jungle" Su Muhe is not a master of war, after thinking about it for a long time, it is not easy to come up with this idea. Teng Guer is also not a master tactician, it is okay to engage in intrigue and trickery, he really commands the war, and he has a bit of a taste of catching ducks on the shelf. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of any good ideas, so he could only agree to Su Muhe's suggestion.

Just after noon, Teng Guer's headquarters divided into four conical formations, and quickly advanced in the direction of the Qiu Suming jungle. Tengur's soldiers and horses deliberately bypassed the frontal defense, only from the flanks, Yelena secretly scolded shamelessly, fortunately, she had been prepared, otherwise she really let Tengur succeed, "Let people throw the prepared timber in the middle of the road, and the thistles are scattered on the high slopes." ”

There was a rumbling sound, and many rolling logs were thrown on the road, and many iron thistles were scattered around them, and many of them were connected to each other by iron chains, and there were barbs on them, and the horses went up and suffered immediately. Su Muhe's cavalry was tossed enough, and they couldn't get any benefits, and in their last anger, they could only turn around and charge head-on. In the face of the onslaught of Su Mu and the cavalry of his subordinates, Yelena fought while retreating, and the kraft candy tactics were vividly revealed. Teng Guer shouted angrily, holding a steel knife and scolding loudly, "Yelena, don't withdraw if you have the ability, Ben Khan will not kill you, and swear not to be a man." ”

As time passed, Uhezha's cavalry finally appeared near the jungle, and in the face of attacks from both sides, Tengur's troops collapsed in morale and did not last more than half an hour. Everyone is a Mongolian child, and they have fought side by side before, where will they really die, Uhelizha just led his troops to kill for a while, and many Mongolian rebels dismounted and surrendered, except for Tengguer's dead friends, who wants to die in the hands of their own people?

In the evening, most of the nobles such as Tengguer were arrested, and Su Muhe was shot by Yelena with an arrow because he led the troops to kill. The next day, the army returned to Komi, and under the order of Hai Dongzhu, the Mongol rebels led by Tengguer were all killed. Since the restructuring of the armed forces, the biggest unrest has been successfully suppressed. Since then, there have been no major rebellions in Kipros, and the restructuring of the army has been carried out without danger. After the completion of the restructuring, there are still many problems, and the first thing to face is the problem of drill.

In the infantry drill of the Dingguo Army, queues and running circles are required subjects, but for the Slavs and Mongols, these training subjects are simply child's play. In one of the training grounds of the fourth military camp of Vladimir, a commander with a whip in his hand and panting and scolding, "Are you all a herd of pigs? Lao Tzu doesn't care what you did before, since you are under Lao Tzu's hands, you have to listen to Lao Tzu's orders. If you don't accept it, you can react to the side afterwards, but now, listen to me and turn right.... You, and you, turn right, do you know what left and right are? ”

A strong Slavic man looked around innocently, the corners of his mouth twitched constantly, what is the use of turning right to the left, if you want to practice, you also practice spears and steel knives. The commander finally couldn't help it, and whipped it the strong man. At this time, in the middle of August, the weather was hot, and I wore very little, and when I went up on this side, there was immediately an eye-catching whip mark on the back. With a whip, no one dares to be a thorn. This is only a small part of the situation, and it has happened in various military camps in Vladimir.

Among the newly issued military regulations, there is a clause that we must love and help each other, and there must be no discrimination or oppression of comrades-in-arms. This military rule has been emphasized again and again by the people above, but after all, it is a death order, and there are still people who do not believe in evil. No matter how much military regulations are emphasized, but let the Dingguo Army face up to those Slavic troops, after all, it is a little unconvinced, these Slavic barbarians, why should they be on an equal footing. There are many high-ranking officials in the military camp who have this idea, and Zhang Bocheng is subordinate to the 7th military camp of Vladimir, serving as a commander and under the jurisdiction of Gao Zhong. Perhaps due to the influence of high favor, Zhang Bocheng has always been above the top and has a lot of criticism for the Slavs. As soon as the training was over that day, there was chaos in the barracks, and it turned out that the soldiers of the two sides fought in order to grab food. Grabbing food is not uncommon in the barracks at all, the front eats meat, and the last one drinks soup, so in order to compete for position, the soldiers in the camp often compete for the top, and sometimes this kind of fight is also a kind of healthy competition, so the people above are also blind to it. But today's events are a little different, and the two groups of people fighting in the group are Song soldiers and Mongol soldiers led by the soldiers of the original national army, and on the other side are Slavs and Siberians. At the beginning, some people were still arguing, and slowly a broken matter of grabbing the position turned into a big brawl in the barracks, and the simple grabbing of food was elevated to a battle of positions, where could the commander in charge of inspecting the barracks control the situation, and found Zhang Bocheng in a panic, "Commander Zhang, you hurry up and take a look, it's a pot of porridge outside." ”

Du Tong recounted the incident in detail, Zhang Bocheng didn't care, he didn't realize that this riot incident was no longer a simple grab for food, but a battle of positions. Unhurriedly gathered the pro-soldiers, and it took an hour before and after the military camp to suppress the chaos in the barracks, looking at the mess in the camp, and the soldiers' faces were blue and purple, Zhang Bocheng's mood was a little bad, "You people who don't open your eyes, what to rob, don't you know how to respect your predecessors?" And all those who were above the head of the capital stood in front of them, and the supervision was not effective, and there was a brawl in the camp, and they were punished by the rod of the law twenty. ”

As soon as Zhang Bocheng said this, many Slavic soldiers shouted, "We don't accept it, the regent has a clear order, and the officers and men in the army are treated equally, so why should we be at the back of the line and eat the worst." Commander, you're on the sidelines. ”

"Who said that? Who said Lao Tzu was biased? Being told that he was breaking his heart, Zhang Bocheng's old face darkened, and he was a little annoyed and angry. The man who spoke quickly stood up, this man was burly, with curly hair on one head, and the rank of Tutong on his shoulders, who looked like a tribal servant from Siberia, "Commander, I said it, or that sentence, you are so disposed of, it is difficult to convince the public." ”

"Hmph, in this barracks, except for General Gao, it's me who has the final say, and if you say it's unfair, it's not fair?" Zhang Bocheng smiled coldly, raised his hand and said, "Come on, tie up the Gurlett major twenty boards, I want to see who else dares to be unconvinced." ”

The two sides were already holding back their anger because of the rice grabbing incident, and Zhang Bocheng's handling of it was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. Gurlett is also righteous and upright, standing up for everyone, and now he has to be beaten up, where is everyone willing to follow. For a while, the scene that had just calmed down was riotous again, and soon there was another brawl in the seventh military camp, and this time not only the soldiers of the southern battalion, but even the elite of the northern battalion also joined in. The seventh battalion, with nearly 15,000 men, was all swept in, and in the evening, the commotion finally alarmed Dongfang Jin, who was sitting in the city of Vladimir. Recently, Dongfang Jin and Luo Weidenov have been staying in Vladimir, just for fear of any chaos, but when they heard that the seventh battalion was about to be dismantled, the two military giants were still stunned. With a group of more than 15,000 people, the entire military camp was demolished, Rao is Dongfang Jin was scheming, and he didn't know what to say. No matter what Luo Weidenov said, he was only a general, and it was impossible to have any good way, and he pondered for a long time before he smiled bitterly, "Lord Dongfang, this situation is beyond our control at the moment, and it must be the regent himself." ”

Dongfang Jin also patted the table hatefully, there was such a mess in the seventh military camp, although the initiator was Zhang Bocheng, but Gao Chong, the head of the family, could not escape the blame. Fortunately, His Royal Highness will come tomorrow to inspect the progress of the restructuring of the major battalions, and there is no need to travel far to inform him, "This Gao Changke, it really doesn't make people worry, and there is such a big mess, I want to see how he explains to His Highness." ”

Gao Pet's status is respected, but he is the general of the Chu Prince's Mansion, Dongfang Jin really doesn't dare to touch him. On August 19, Zhao Yougong's guards came to Vladimir City, this time to Vladimir, on the one hand, to see the progress of the restructuring, on the other hand, also to learn about this ancient city, just entered the city, before sitting down to drink tea, I heard about the Seventh Military Camp. Zhao Yougong's face was gloomy and terrible, Xiao Zhiyun and Sanniang also frowned secretly, Sanniang held the Military Justice Department in her hand, and could only smile bitterly, "Official, if you don't take care of this matter, I'll deal with it." ”

"Sanniang, this matter is still the king himself, the matter is too big, if it is not handled well, the restructuring is likely to leave hidden dangers" Zhao Yougong knows where the root cause of this commotion is, a food-grabbing incident can involve the entire military camp, in the final analysis, it is still an injustice in the army. After resting for a while, Zhao Yougong led people towards the seventh military camp, Xiao Zhiyun was not idle, and someone brought Gao Chong over, looking at Gao Chong's unruly appearance, Xiao Zhiyun was not polite at all, shaking the horsewhip and scolding, "Gao Changke, you really have the ability, Your Highness's military orders have been repeated, you just didn't take it to heart." ”

"Concubine Xiao, you can't blame the last general for this" Gao Chong was still a little unconvinced, and before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhiyun's knife-like gaze had already fallen on Gao Chong, "You have pushed it all away, do you know what it means to go up and down, if Zhang Bocheng dies, you will also kill him." ”

Gao Zhong was really a little scared at this time, so he leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Concubine Xiao, Your Highness won't really want to kill Zhang Bocheng, although that guy is a bastard, he is also a veteran in the army." ”

"What do you say?" Xiao Zhiyun is too lazy to pay attention to Gao Pet, at this time, this guy still has a fluke heart, and he has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

At the time of the chaos in the 7th Barracks, the Baltic Sea, far northwest of Yellinburg, was no longer quiet. On the western side of the Baltic Sea, there is a small coastal town called Kalmar, which is shrouded in rain and its walls are covered with green moss. Due to its internal location, the soil is soft and unsuitable for planting, and the surrounding people have been living by fishing. On this day, a thick fog rose on the surface of the water, once again showing the appearance of the sea of mist.

Before the hour came, the cavalry with black swords in their hands docked at the edge of the sea of mist, this cavalry numbered about 3,000 people, each well-armed, they were the Knights of the Birds belonging to the four major legions of the Danish royal family.

The Knights of the Birds are part of the Royal Guard, which has long been stationed near the Danish royal capital, and in recent years has been under the command of Prince Fawinna. Fayunna is the younger brother of Eric II and the uncle of the current King Eric III. In the kingdom, apart from the Golden Guards of Eric III, the Knights of the Birds are the most exalted. Eric III's reliance on his uncle Fayunna, coupled with the decline of Viking power in the past two decades, led to a decline in the interests of Danish colonial plunder, and his control over the North Sea became weaker and weaker. Christ City and Kalmar City are far apart, so it was very unexpected for the Knights of the Birds to suddenly appear in Kalmar City. Mo said that the Dingguo army stationed near Yerinburg, even the city lord of Kalma City, Quasimotu, was taken aback, and in the face of the kingdom's elite black-armored cavalry, Quasimotu broke out in a cold sweat.

How could Quasimotu not be afraid, his family was not a close associate of the Eric family, otherwise he would not have been thrown to Kalmar City. Kalmar City is located near the Baltic Sea, facing the sea in the east, the inhabitants of the former Kingdom of Sweden in the north, and the Holy Roman Empire in the south. It can be said that Kalmar City is simply the frontier of chaos, and whoever stays in Kalmar City is the unlucky person of the kingdom. In recent years, the Holy Roman Empire has almost completed the unification and annexed the Kingdom of the Franks. Quasimotu was really scared, could it be that the king found out about the relationship between the family and Lothair, and sent troops to exterminate it? It's a bit of a fuss, it's like killing chickens with a knife.

Sticking out his head and stabbing his head, shrinking his head is still a knife, if the Knights of the Birds are really coming at themselves, then no matter how they prepare, it is useless. In desperation, Quasimotu could only obediently lead people outside the city to greet him, he had always been very worried, and the relationship between King Eric and the Germans had not been good all these years. Not to mention the constant disputes between the two sides over the ownership of Zealand, in recent years, the Frankish Kingdom alone has had a lot of direct conflicts with the Vikings because of the issue of the Island of England, and the two sides have directly collided on the Island of England no less than ten times, and the Vikings have withdrawn from the Island of England, and the Franks have made great contributions, and the Kingdom of the Franks is precisely a principality of the Holy Empire. Without the addition of the Franks, the English and Scots alone would not have been able to defeat the Vikings in a short time, and the North Sea interests of the Kingdom of Denmark would not have been weakened to such an extent. New hatred and old hatred, the Kingdom of Denmark and the Holy Empire have become a pair of mortal enemies, in this case, the Quasimotu family is still hooking up with Lothair, the risk can be imagined.

Fayunna's personal visit to Kalmar was tantamount to a small earthquake, and Fayunna was an unattainable figure for the nobles of Kalmar. Quasimoto really couldn't figure out Fayunna's intentions, he stood in the crowd, his hands unconsciously clenched tightly, and secretly cheered in his heart, if Fayunna really came to ask for the guilt, then he couldn't say that he had to fight. Although there is little hope, Quasimoto does not want to sit still. Of course, in his heart, Quasimotu was also a little unconvinced, doing so many things was not for the stability of Kalma, if Kalmar City was not stable, the kingdom could concentrate on the eastern region, and it was impossible to send heavy troops to Sealand Island.

Towards noon, a pair of black-armored cavalrymen slowly appeared in view, these people had typical Nordic characteristics, with a tall nose bridge, a tall body, and a powerful appearance. The white-haired Favanna stood at the front of the team, imposing, and his resolute face was full of vicissitudes and wisdom. Due to the hot weather, Fayunna was only wearing a thin short-sleeved cloth armor, but his simple dress did not affect his prestige at all, and his eyes swept over, and an invisible coercion covered everyone's heads. More than a dozen black-armored cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, seemingly casual, but they guarded all directions, guarding Fayunna's safety. Fayuna didn't know Quasimotu, but he did recognize the family emblem of the Quasimotu family, so with just a little recognition, he found Quasimotu standing in the middle. Just looking at it simply, he felt the uneasiness coming from Quasimotu's body, Fayuna frowned, his eyes swept over the crowd, and looked up along the bluestone city wall, in the field of vision, there were many flags on the city wall, and behind the battlements, there were faint soldiers and horses ambushing there. Fayuna was unhappy in his heart, but he understood that for decades, Kalmar City has been the sphere of influence of the Quasimotu family, and the royal family has always paid little attention to Kalmar City, and now that thousands of elite cavalry have suddenly arrived, the Quasimotu family will definitely be worried. As for the cattleness between the Quasimotu family and Lothair, Fayunna also knew something, but he didn't plan to ask about this, this time when he came to the Baltic Sea coast, many places still had to rely on the Quasimotu family, how could it be because of a little that affected the plans behind?

As if he hadn't noticed anything, Fayunna turned over and dismounted, and walked straight to Quasimoto, his expression kind and smiling, like an ordinary rich man. The guard in Quasimotu's heart finally let go of a lot, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt down on one knee, "Quasimotu of Kalmar City, welcome His Royal Highness." ”

Faruna stretched out his hand to help Quasimotu, although he was old, the strength in his hand was still good, Quasimotu was also a warrior, but he was forced to help him up. Quasimoto was secretly frightened, Fayunna, this old guy, looked old, he didn't expect his hands to be so strong. Fayuna seems to be supporting, but in fact he is also demonstrating, just to tell Quasimotu that Kalmar City is greasy, but he is all in his eyes, don't treat him Fayuna as an ordinary old man. Quasimotu knew in his heart, and estimated that the old fellow Fayunna saw that something was coming, stood up, put his right hand behind him, and gestured to his lawyer, who understood and withdrew from the crowd without a trace, and soon the soldiers and horses who were ambushed at the head of the city withdrew one after another. Fayuna has already taken the initiative to show favor, and Quasimotu doesn't need to cause trouble, otherwise he will have nothing to do.

Following behind Fayunna, the group slowly walked into the city of Kalmar, for ordinary people, Prince Fayunna was like a mythical existence, so many people stood on both sides of the street, wanting to see the prince's demeanor. On this day, the small town of Kalmar was very lively, like a festival, only more than 400 people of the Knights of the Birds entered the city, and the rest all chose to be stationed outside the city of Kalmar, which was a gesture made by Fayunna, in order to appease the Quasimotu family. Fayunna's move was to tell the Quasimotu family that the Knights of the Birds were not interested in Kalmar City, and that Kalmar City would always be the QuasimotΓΊ family's sphere of influence. As long as the royal family is not interested in Kalmar City, Quasimotu will not have too many worries, as for the intentions of Fayunna, it is not so important, the Quasimotu family only needs to cooperate.
