Chapter 205
The war was won. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is a matter of course, to this day, the little Tang Grand Duke does not even have any real sense of victory, whether it is soldiers or equipment, generally ahead of the enemy by an era, just like a musket eliminates bows and arrows, and tanks crush cavalry. The advantage of the times is here, that is, a fool to command, as long as this fool is not hopelessly stupid, then victory is beyond doubt.
The key is how to deal with the losers after the victory, and how the situation evolves in the future, which is the real headache.
"Let us raise our glasses, both in celebration of the victory in this great war, and for the sake of our dear ally, the Grand Duke of Donchester; In order to rescue us, the Grand Duke of Donchester led the army to drift on the sea for half a month, and our tribe will never forget this kindness! ”
After the Olaf Patriarch's army entered the battle, the Viking warriors who had been attacked quickly showed signs of exhaustion, and coupled with the old patriarch's 'permission to escape', as long as the first Viking who was greedy for life and afraid of death appeared, the collapse was only a matter of time.
"Where, Olaf Patriarch is polite, today you are the Lord and I am a guest, let me, the guest, toast first, and wish Olaf Patriarch eternal health."
It's a pity that after all, he still failed to catch the old patriarch, this old fox who has lived for sixty years is quite alert, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately ran away with his own guards, and by the way, he also took away a lot of soldiers, as long as it was slightly integrated, it was a huge force.
"No, no, no, I still respect first, this is not only my personal gratitude, but also your gratitude for saving a total of three thousand four hundred people in our tribe; From now on, as long as you have a word, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, we will never take half a step back. ”
After the victory, in addition to packing up the battlefield and getting the spoils of war, the most important thing is to have a grand feast to celebrate. The Vikings were still tribal, and like this kind of carnival, it was only natural that the whole clan should participate; The young people drank a lot of wine, the women worked hard to barbecue meat, and the children happily shuttled through it. And the Olaf patriarch also intends to expand this carnival, even if he uses up all the food stored in the tribe for winter, so today's carnival is particularly noisy.
And there is, of course, a reason why Patriarch Olaf paid such a big price.
In fact, there has never been a shortage of smart people in the tribe, and those who are in the know, just now Olaf Patriarch said that the sword mountain and the sea of fire they already felt bad, but look around......
The warriors of the tribe were dizzy, drunk, and the rest could barely stay sober, even if the alcohol was high; Looking at the surroundings again, those soldiers who looked hidden, but in fact they were blatant, clear at a glance, and stubbornly patrolled near the venue, were clearly used to deter them!
"Ugh." Sure enough, after taking a sip of wine, Patriarch Olaf put down his glass and began to sigh: "Lord Duke, I don't know what you think of this Scandinavia?" ”
"To be honest, it's not a very good place for human beings."
After a few glasses of wine, the Duke of Xiao Tang seemed to be drunk, and he spoke mercilessly, he simply wanted to die, which directly attracted the angry eyes of several people - no matter how broken the house is, it is also a home, only your own people can scold the truth, you are an outsider, what nonsense!
But Patriarch Olaf just didn't care, or even said, he was just expecting the little Tang Grand Duke to say this.
"Yes, Scandinavia, home of the blizzard...... For many years, my ancestors had longed for a way to escape this land, and now that long-cherished wish was to be fulfilled in my hands. ”
Patriarch Olaf sighed, and then completely ignored the frightened and frightened eyes of the others, and said:
"If I am willing to become your vassal, and give you my life and my life, will you agree that my people will settle in your realm?"
……
At this time, if you use an inappropriate idiom as a metaphor, you should be trying to see the poor dagger, right?
And the object of this dagger is not the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang, but other opponents in the tribe who are still sober.
"Patriarch Olaf opened his mouth, and I naturally did not disagree."
In fact, this is a negotiated double reed, with the glorious dedication of the Grand Duke of Don and the Olaf Patriarch, and the audience is the Vikings who are about to emigrate. These two people, one is the Grand Duke with a heavy army, and the other is the patriarch with supreme authority in the tribe, and when the two of them are combined, there is no one on the scene who can open their mouths to refuse.
Even as these would-be opponents turned their pleading gaze to Arthur, Arthur could only sit there in silence like a sculpture.
…… Looks pretty smooth.
In fact, it went well, and the news was announced while all the young people were drunk, and the young people in the tribe were all jubilant under the stimulation of alcohol. People have to go up, Munster's wealth, Munster's prosperity, they have heard countless times from their adventures, and now they can move to such a place, although they have to abandon everything and start over, but it is all worth it!
Even the Viking women did not object in the slightest, do not underestimate the Viking women, the Viking men do not return home as pirates all year round, the Viking women are in charge of the big and small affairs of the family, even the most violent Viking men, when they return home, they have to listen to the women - or they fight and use their fists to decide who is the real head of the family.
When he moved to Munster, the land, the wealth, and the slaves (this was the most valuable, and the Vikings had no wealth except slaves), the Grand Duke of Don had promised that every Viking family who moved would get thirty acres of land - that was the land of 'rich' and 'rich' Ireland, which was completely different from Scandinavia!
Besides, Munster is not the same now as before, since the little Tang Grand Duke sobered up, Munster no longer forbade the slave trade, but only restricted the abuse of slaves, and for the Vikings, since slaves are a kind of wealth, they will naturally not be abused. After all, to die a slave is to lose a fortune.
Since most people have no opinions, then the matter is settled, the enthusiasm of the Vikings is far beyond everyone's imagination, although the relocation is still a few days later, but many people have already begun to spontaneously pack their bags, looking impatient.
"This ...... I really didn't expect it. ”
Patriarch Olaf looked at the busy appearance of the tribe, and he was shocked when he didn't know it, it turned out that there were so many people who wanted to go to a new life, and if it weren't for him, the patriarch, who was suppressing it, I am afraid that many people would have thought about leaving the tribe a long time ago.
"Yes, now it seems that you and I are all acting in vain."
Grand Duke Xiao Tang also smiled bitterly, at that time, the Olaf patriarch consulted with him, saying that many people thought it was a big deal when they couldn't leave their homeland, but they didn't expect that the silent majority, these people were the most important.
