Chapter 145: One Last Thing

Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. www.biquge.info In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 red envelope crazy flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock ang~

Of course, there is still a lot to do.

The most important one is about the arrangement of Little Leah.

Since the surviving people have entrusted their daughters to the little Tang Duke, the little Tang Dagong must bring Xiao Leah back to Desmond to raise. However, although she is still just a child, although she is still a girl, Xiao Leah is still the Count of Ulster after all, not to mention what is the impact of an earl leaving his territory, just talking about the knights, are they willing to let go?

Oh, they must be willing to let go.

I just ate a big cake, and several counts of the Northern Earls Alliance almost put a knife on Duke Ed's neck without the urging of Grand Duke Xiao Tang, forcing him to sign the treaty. At that time, Duke Ed, who was still drunk, was carried to the negotiating table by the soldiers, staring at the articles of the treaty that could be called humiliating and humiliating for five minutes, and finally he was helpless, and his hands trembled and he signed his name.

It is said that Duke Ed returned to his room and cried for half the night, and then the next day he continued to drink as usual to find women.

After eating such a big piece of cake, the knights can be supported to death, and now that the top boss is leaving like this, then the entire county is not up to them? If you want to turn the sky upside down, if you want to make trouble in the sea, no one can control them anyway, since this is the case, what are you doing with Xiao Leah, hurry up and send it out to everyone clean.

So that's the problem.

Although the little Tang Grand Duke really didn't want to ask for trouble for himself, although the Earl of Ulster was large, it was a big burden in his eyes, whether it was the degree of development, the geographical location, everything was underdeveloped, and if he wanted it, he would be asking for hardship - but he couldn't do without it, after all, it was his wife's dowry, and his wife might have to go back in the future, so he had to be a husband to look at it carefully-although it was not certain whether he would be a husband in the future.

Since it is said that it is the wife's dowry, then it must be treated carefully, and this group of knights cannot be ruined, but in the final analysis, the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang is still just an outsider, even if he has the identity of a 'marriage contractor', then it doesn't work very well.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to bypass this layer of relationship.

And this so-called method, the Duke of Xiao Tang also thought of it from the beginning, that is, to support a spokesperson, just like the knight of Alcoba, to support a guy in name only, to control the enemy, and then you can rest assured that you can boldly intervene directly, anyway, what everyone needs in this era is just an excuse, as long as the excuse is given, what is it like, the surrounding nobles will no longer pay attention, and once the surrounding nobles do not pay attention, then the steamed braised is not all a matter of a word from the Duke of Xiao Tang?

So......

"Would I like to be acting regent?"

At that time, the little Duke Tang hugged Xiao Leah, who was still in a mood, and when he said this to the old knight, the old knight was stunned at that time, as an old qualified person who had served the Count Connor family for three generations, he was loyal enough, but he never thought that he would be able to be regent one day!

He has his own wisdom, his strength is not outstanding, his mind is not good, and the relationship does not matter, the only thing that can be praised is loyalty, and decades of loyalty have become true loyal ministers. But even if it's a true and loyal minister, it's not like a regent can be a regent!

"Of course you are qualified, in terms of seniority, you are an old minister who has taken care of three generations of the earl family, in terms of loyalty, there is no more loyal than you among all the knights, you say, what is more suitable besides you?"

The high-sounding words of the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang said that the old knights thought that there was no one else who could take on the important task except him, of course, the real reason must be because of the lack of ability of the old knights.

Loyalty or something is secondary, as long as the position of the old knight regent is sealed, the old knight is naturally isolated from other knights, everyone must think, they are all the same knight status, why can you be the regent, I can't? When the time comes, the old knight will be disloyal, and he will be forced to be loyal.

The real reason is that his ability is insufficient, and if he lacks ability, he needs the help of the Duke of Xiao Tang, so he can only obediently bow his head to his ears, and once he bows his head to the ear, he can only bow his head for the rest of his life - not to mention that the Duke of Xiao Tang does not need him for life at all, it only takes six years, and he can wait until Xiao Lia becomes an adult.

However, the old knight naturally didn't know anything about such a dirty idea in the mind of the little Tang Grand Duke, since he knew that the little Tang Grand Duke had such a plan, and Xiao Lea didn't object at all - in fact, Xiao Leah didn't object, but a child, a little coaxed with two lollipops, and no temper was gone. Although her mother had just left, Xiao Lia's mood couldn't be eased, and she was still angry with Xiao Tang Dagong, and she used Xiao Tang's arm as a pig's trotter to gnaw if she had nothing to do, but in front of the sweet honey bread and thick and hard arms, Xiao Leah still chose honey bread very wisely.

After all, it has been emphasized several times before, honey is really a rare thing in this era, even if you are an earl, you can't eat it a few times a year, let alone sweets, this thing is simply fatal to the temptation of children, and the little Tang Duke only needs to take a piece of honey cake and swing it, and Xiao Leah immediately shakes her cute little ponytail and follows.

"It's just...... If the other knights object, then what should I do? ”

Bai was happy for a long time, the old knight finally thought of the right thing, and asked cautiously, the little Tang Grand Duke was also relieved, if you don't ask if your political IQ is so low, I am really embarrassed to speak, and the series of arrangements after that is really completely blind.

"You don't have to worry about this, I will leave you five hundred soldiers to stabilize the situation, these soldiers will be led by Wade Knight, if there is anything in case, just let Wade Knights lead the soldiers up, they will not let you down."

Extrajudicial military power, this is a disaster to destroy the country......

But the old knight didn't seem to see it at all, or he knew and pretended not to know, as long as he kept his glory and wealth, in short, since the subject was pretending to be deaf and dumb, the resolution was passed.

Next, there is the in-depth question of where the garrison should be stationed and who should provide the food and grass for the military funds consumed, but if you think about it, it shouldn't be difficult, since the old knight can even agree to the garrison, then it won't be difficult to provide a little food and grass, right?

In fact, it was very, very pleasant, the old knight agreed to such conditions, and the final treaty was that the little Tang Grand Duke provided five hundred soldiers to assist the old knight, and the five hundred soldiers were changed every three months, and the old knight also promised to provide the soldiers with sufficient food, grass and services, so that they would definitely feel at home, and live as if they were in their own home.

Although it seems that the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang suffered a loss, and paid five hundred well-trained and elite soldiers without getting anything, everyone who understands should know how bad this thing is about the right to garrison troops outside the law, not to mention that it is only five hundred soldiers, and the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang does not pay attention to it now.

With the sudden expansion of his territory and the rapid increase in the number of people he ruled, almost overnight it more than tripled and the population reached six times, which meant that the expansion of the army was imminent. And there was a large number of sturdy young slaves brought back by Patriarch Olaf two months later, whether it was soldiers or laborers, there would be no shortage for the time being.

Moreover, for the foreseeable next few years, there will be no more large-scale war in Ireland, nay, the whole of Great Britain, so throwing out 500 soldiers at this time is not a big deal. Moreover, these five hundred soldiers did not stay here just to protect the old knight.

The east can threaten the Northern Earl Alliance, and the south can balance Duke Eddard, on the small island of Ireland, five hundred soldiers are not something that can be ignored and a small force, the five hundred soldiers ambushed in the Earldom of Ulster are like an iron nail, tightly poking at the enemy's vital point, anyone who wants to resist the Duke of Xiao Tang must first worry about whether his heart will be stabbed first - in order to increase this threat, the soldiers left by the Duke of Xiao Tang to the quasi-knights of Wade are all extremely valuable cavalry as the main force!

Regardless of whether this cavalry is light cavalry or heavy cavalry, it will look much more threatening than all infantry anyway, you know, even if it is just a horse under the crotch of the cavalry, the price of raising it is enough to feed three ordinary infantrymen.

"Anyway, in this way, I can finally arrange everything and go back to Desmond with peace of mind."

Little Tang Dagong thought so, and did the same. The day after the transfer of power, he set out with his soldiers to return to Desmond. Compared with when they came, there were less than 500 soldiers and a knight in the team that went back, but there were three more carriages, one full of little Leah's clothes and toys, one carrying little Leah's personal servant, and the last one was the widest, most luxurious and most comfortable.

The army meandered like a dragon, facing the rising sun that had just risen, shining on the world, bringing warmth to every land, slowly, step by step, and began to set off.
