As the saying goes: one person is short, three people are long. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

That makes sense.

Under the brainstorming of this group of knights, soon one by one plans, good and bad, useful and unreliable, were proposed.

The knights, whether they were peacemakers or warsmen, were doing their best, at least on the surface, after Count Don had made his decision.

It's not because the knights are suddenly finely divided, and it's not because Count Xiao Tang can change the thoughts in their minds with a word and directly favor MAX, then Count Xiao Tang is not an earl who directly changed his name to Yuri, okay, the unification of the world **** world is just around the corner!

But that's not possible.

The reason why these knights are willing to listen to Count Xiao Tang's words is that as mentioned before, Count Xiao Tang has accumulated some prestige, which is enough to suppress this group of knights. The second is the so-called democratic centralization system practiced in the Middle Ages in the West.

The so-called democracy means that you have the right to speak, and the so-called centralization means that you have the right to obey when I speak.

Democratic centralization means that the younger brothers can freely put forward opinions or suggestions, but once the boss makes a decision, the younger brother must comply.

This is a system that has been handed down from the time of the ancient chieftain, in that era, the chief did not have the right to say anything, and could not guarantee that he would be right, and any mistake would cost people's lives, so the chief needed the advice of the younger brother as a reference.

But more younger brothers also mean that there are more people, and if there are more people, there will be no disagreement, and if the opinions are not unified, they will not be able to condense their strength into a rope, and in ancient times, we all know that bears, tigers, wolves, snakes, everywhere are things that can harvest human lives, if there is still infighting, it is no different from suicide.

Therefore, there is a rule that no matter what the younger brother is thinking under his command, once the chief has made a decision, the younger brother must obey it, otherwise he will be despised and expelled by the whole tribe.

Therefore, it is the same for knights.

And these knights, they also made more constructive proposals.

"We can also get in touch with the sons of the Grand Duke, and in any case, the sons of the Grand Duke always have a certain influence on the Grand Duke......

Little Count Tang's eyes lit up.

Influenced?

That's right, woe is within the walls......

The son of the Grand Duke must be contacted, but he does not want to contact Prince Tade, nor does he want to contact the second eldest Diarmat, but as the eldest and the worst ability, Murcheltchi.

There are several main reasons why the prince nicknamed 'The Incompetent' was contacted.

First of all, this Prince Mulcheltci is already thirty years old, thirty years old, and half of his life has passed, and the little Count Don does not believe it, in the thirty years of this prince's life, he has not had the slightest ambition, he is so convinced of his younger brother, has he not dreamed of becoming an archduke?

Second, no matter how incompetent the prince may be, if he can live to the age of thirty safely, then he will surely have a loyal group of subordinates - whether it is his childhood playmate, or his martial arts instructor, or the power of his wife's family...... In short, as the first son, Prince Mulcheltci still has a little advantage.

And thirdly, and most importantly, if his second or third brother succeeded to the position of Grand Duke in the future, Prince Mulcheltci would not fear for his life? Even if this prince has no ambitions and no ambitions, then can he rest assured that his net worth and life will be handed over to someone else's hands? You must know that the Xuanwumen Mutiny, it is not only our ancestors who will do this!

The reason why the second or third son of the Grand Duke is not chosen is also here, precisely because Prince Murcheltč is the weakest, so he will attach great importance to every help, if it is changed to Prince Tad, it is not necessarily, after all, Prince Tad is already the successor of nine times out of ten, so how can he stop his father from attacking Desmond, after the death of Grand Duke Mulchid, all this is not his!

I didn't contact the second child because according to Priest Philip, the second child is 'scheming', and what he is best at is plotting, such a person is not easy to fool, don't be fooled by others at that time, that's really a big joke!

Is there anything more suitable for a leader who has no ability, is very weak himself, but has the right to inherit orthodoxy and desperately wants to be supported?

No, there is no more, Tianyu does not take the blame, there are not many opportunities like this!

So the final decision came down.

From now on, Desmond immediately entered a state of war, and all actions were to be prioritized by war, calling all the off-duty soldiers, knightly minions, and some conscripted peasants in the territory; Recruit all blacksmiths and craftsmen in the territory, forcibly acquire all iron tools in the territory, and buy their medicines, armor, swords, and anything else that may be used in war from merchants at any cost; A large number of soldiers were sent to interrogate every passing traveling merchant, not only to check their luggage, but also to inquire carefully where they had come from, where they were going, what kind of movements they had recently passed, and so on......

After all this, two more missions were sent.

The first mission was to the Earldom of Ormond.

The main purpose of this mission is to coerce and induce, not only to show Desmond's force, but also to show the determination of Desmonds to die unyieldingly, and most importantly, to have a man of sufficient prestige and eloquence to explain that once the Grand Duke attacks Desmond, how can Ormond be safe?

Therefore, this mission, it was led by the knight of Alcoba, who had enough prestige and diplomatic skills, and he also had enough force to be considered the most suitable person.

Then came the second mission.

The selection of this mission is a headache for Count Xiao Tang.

Because this mission was going to Munster, that is, to the enemy's lair. This kind of thing is tantamount to throwing itself into the tiger's mouth, and the knights are unwilling to do it.

If they had to die, then the knights would rather die heroically on the battlefield than die in the midst of dishonorable intrigues, even if they came up with them.

And going to Munster, this task is first and foremost the intrigue that the knights hate the most, and there is definitely no way to appear in the open, and the knights disagree with it at the first point. And the second point, if it is not discovered, it is fine, once it is discovered, the Grand Duke of Murchid is not a good person, he will definitely be caught in the dungeon, what is next? Is it a dishonorable hanging, or is it simply a cup of poisoned wine? Such an obscure and honorless death was absolutely unacceptable to this group of knights.

Thankfully, Priest Philip took the initiative to take on the task.

"I can disguise myself as an ascetic, I used to be an ascetic, and that's not a problem for me, and the ascetic has to wear a black robe, which is pretty difficult to see. And very few people in Munster would know me, and as a monk, it would be easier to get close to the nobility, but I needed a credential. ”

Yes, Priest Philip needed a credential, otherwise how could he gain his trust, even if he could get close to Prince Murcheltč?

So the Count of Don, after careful consideration, handed the ring he had been wearing on his hand to Priest Philippe.

Priest Philip was moved to tears on the spot.

This ring, if placed in ancient China, is a military talisman, a jade seal, and a certificate for the emperor. The ring depicts the crest of the McCafayer family, an eagle with wings spread, and in the entire county of Desmond, as long as the Earl of Don Jr. does whatever he wants.

With such trust, how can he not be moved?

Then Priest Philip choked up and said, "The trust of the adults cannot be repaid, so I have to give up this life, and I will never return home until I achieve my goal."

Count Don Jr. quickly helped Philip up, pulled his sleeve and wiped Philip's tears, but the tears were wiped more and more, and he couldn't finish wiping them.

Such a picture of the virtuous and loyal made the hard-hearted knights moved, and some even thought: "Why don't I know to share worries for the Lord?" , more than a dozen big men wiped their noses together, to be honest, this scene is quite embarrassing.

Count Xiao Tang looked at a group of big men crying together in the hall, and finally settled down in his heart: "Anyway, this danger is not in vain, now, they should know to be obedient, right?"

PS: There are no classes this afternoon, so I should ...... Possible...... Try to ...... Midnight.
