There are two flowers, one for each branch, and there are all kinds of preparations on the side of the little Tang Duke, the comings and goings of spies, the provocation of words, and miscellaneous small actions, which are enough to shoot a deep-sea drama...... But let's look away a little and look at the knights of Alcoba, who are leading their army day and night to the Duke of Connaught. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Perhaps, in the last ten days and a half months, it will not be the Knight of Alcoba, but the Lord Count of Alcoba.

From a knight to an earl, this can not be said to be a step to the sky, it is a great honor, it is simply another model of salted fish turning over in the Middle Ages, but the reason why the little Tang Grand Duke made such a decision was also deliberate.

First of all, considering the psychological problems of the knights, the knights of Alcoba can not seek fame or profit, and concentrate only for the good of the Duke of Xiao Tang, but the other knights, money, power, and fame, everyone wants to help you sacrifice your life to kill the enemy, isn't it just a few things! Now that you are the Grand Duke, you have eaten all the fat and lean meat, and you should always give some of the remaining soup and water to your brothers, right?

This is a very normal idea, as the so-called "one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven", although there are difficulties may not be able to be shared, but the blessings must be shared, and this is also good for the Duke of Xiao Tang, a common perseverance, will only unite him and his subordinates more and more tightly.

In addition to this, there is the issue of the distribution of power, and the full name of the Archduke of the Younger Tang is: "Duke of Munster, North Munster, Desmond, Earl of Ormond, Guardian of Limerick and Cork, Master of Dublin and Moe Island." ”

But among these titles, except for Desmond, the peasants in other places woke up from their sleep, and suddenly found that their nobles were hanging on to their ranks, and the knights were declared rebels, and for a while they could not find anyone to collect taxes if they wanted to!

It stands to reason that at this time, the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang should hold a knights' conference, canonize a large number of fresh knights, add the new ones, give them manors and fiefs, give them honors and family coats, and re-establish the ruling order of nobles, knights, and peasants...... You can casually have dozens of chapters of the plot on the water, but the Duke of Xiao Tang is reluctant.

This is an opportunity, this is a good opportunity, the death of the former ruling class, the exile of exile, and now this land can be smeared as if it were a blank slate - that is, with a little effort and care, he can really establish a monarchical feudalism in the Middle Ages, and not a so-called aristocratic republic!

However, there is a flaw in this great plan, there is not enough officials.

It is the officials and not the aristocracy, and if you want the nobility, there are as many broken nobles as there are in the whole continent who do not learn and do not know how much. But officials, the only thing the monarchy and feudalism needs is a large number of well-educated officials, and now the Duke of Xiao Tang is gritting his teeth again, breaking one person as two envoys, at most, it can fill the two holes of North Munster and Desmond, and then grit his teeth and maintain order in Dublin, but this Ormond County is really out of reach.

Therefore, before the Duke of Xiao Tang can cultivate enough officials, there must be someone who can be at the forefront, and this person must be 100% loyal, so that he will obey the words of the Duke of Xiao Tang, and the Duke of Xiao Tang can be canonized with confidence; He also had to be respectable so that the knights below could be convinced.

And such a candidate, Grand Duke Xiao Tang thought about it again and again, and only the Knights of Alcoba could be competent.

Of course, there is also the most crucial point - the knight of Alcoba does not have any heirs - no heirs means that there is no heir, and the knight of Alcoba is also in his fifties this year, and it is unlikely that he will be able to give birth to children. That is to say, after a hundred years of knighthood, this sealed territory will still belong to the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang after all, and the knight of Alcoba is nominally an earl, but in fact he can only be regarded as a supervisor.

This is really a plan to kill three birds with one stone, not only to give hope to his vassals, but also to justifiably take it back, and finally, in line with human feelings, it can also give the knights of Alcoba a decent end.

After all, the knight is in his fifties this year, and his health is getting worse and worse year by year, so I'm afraid he won't live long. People's hearts are flesh and blood, and the help that the Alcobar knight gave to the little Tang Grand Duke, these little Tang grand dukes are all in their hearts, and now they have the ability and conditions, so try to repay it as much as possible - in addition, don't mention any baron to the little Tang Grand Duke, he can still accept an empty earl, which is both a favor and a reward, but a baron, it is equivalent to a real feudal kingdom The king of China comes out, even if this king is nothing, it is absolutely unacceptable.

That's the end of the gossip...... After all, this is still a matter for the future, and the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang has long had a conversation with the Alcoba Knight, and the Olcoba Knights also said that it was acceptable...... Now, let's talk about the march first.

The problem of marching was not too great, and the quality of the soldiers, as well as the welcome of the peasants along the way, offset the annoyance of the soldiers, but the traps were not something that could be easily ignored.

Although the distance is too close, the tricks of the strong wall and clearing the field cannot be used, but Duke Ed is very undisciplined, digging pits, breaking bridges, poisoning, assassination, and all kinds of fancy tactics to block the enemy emerge in endlessly, which really caused a lot of trouble.

Even if the knight of Alcoba can be regarded as experienced, and the skill of leading troops can be said to be quite sophisticated, these tricks of Duke Ed have been resolved by him one by one, but the necessary casualties are still indispensable.

To be clear, that is, all kinds of non-war attrition have reached a shocking point, which makes people have to guard against it!

"What can I do?"

The knight of Alcoba stroked his head and thought to himself, "If the Grand Duke were here now, the situation would be much better than mine......

I'm sorry to say, Alcoba Knight, you think too highly of the little Tang Duke, just in terms of experience, a little Tang Dagong can't catch up with you! In this situation, even if the little Tang Grand Duke is here, he can only do something in a hurry.

Since it is said that the Duke of Xiao Tang has been talked about, then let's shift the attention to the Duke of Xiao Tang, after all, the name of this chapter is still the record of the suppression of bandits, and the results of the suppression of bandits must be reported.

"It's a lot less than I thought."

On the bank of the river, in the hidden ambush troops, Count Xiao Tang used his 5.0 vision to look at the rebels who were roaring towards the knights trapped on the other side of the riverbank, and said with a frown.

"Yes...... Lord Daduke, maybe there is internal strife among the enemy, but this is only part of the people. ”

Little Odega, who was also lying on his stomach beside the Little Tang Grand Duke, heard the Little Tang Grand Duke say this, and replied after thinking for a while.

"Perhaps...... But it doesn't matter. ”

Little Tang Grand Duke said this, even if Little Odega is right, the enemy has its own internal strife, as long as he is willing to spend a little more time and pull one faction to fight another, it is likely that he can easily kill this group of rebels without paying any price...... But why bother? ”

I have become a tiger, the tiger should roar the mountains and forests, I am the only one, when will the tiger reason with the rabbit?

Therefore, at that time, the little Tang Grand Duke just waved his hand and said softly in a voice that was at most eighty decibels: "Charge." ”
