Chapter 208: A New Beginning

Previous Chapter

"Brother, brother, come here, come here."

Peace, this is the most enviable word of the Dark Ages.

Today is the day of Lent after Lent, and it has always been the practice for the whole Grand Duchy of Munster to hold a grand celebration ceremony, from morning to night, from day to night, with food, wine, drama and revelry.

Munster is now one of the most intoxicating places in all of Western Europe.

And in this intoxicating drunkenness, a little girl in coarse linen clothes, with the innocence and cuteness unique to childhood, waved her little hands to greet the tall young man behind her.

(Probably Miss Childe of a wealthy businessman, right?) )

The roadside vendor thought.

Although they also wore coarse cloth clothes, the children of rich families were never the same as those of poor families - in the Middle Ages, this difference was not a connotation, but something more intuitive, for example, skin.

The girl running in front of her, with white and tender skin, smooth and shiny, knew at a glance that she had never done any farm work, and had been served since birth; The young man in the rear, although it was rough and his hands were full of calluses, a discerning person could see at a glance that it was a trace that could only be sharpened by years of dancing with knives and guns.

The poor are rich in martial arts, the children of poor families can't even eat enough, and the people are as thin as bean sprouts, how can they still have the physical strength to practice martial arts.

Even Munster has only had enough to eat in the past two years, and his standard of living has not yet reached this point.

The children of wealthy families are especially able to spend money.

Especially girls from wealthy families can't take their eyes off when they see novelties.

This is the consensus of the hawkers.

When the big customers came to the door, the hawkers who were still a little lazy immediately became active, and the hawkers also changed from the original weakness to excitement - everyone originally wanted to close the stall early to watch the late-night drama, but the fat sheep came to the door, and they had to slaughter the two of them?

Don't think that you are the child of a wealthy businessman and you are well-informed, in our Munster, there are things that you have never seen and can pit you hard!

"Lily, slow down, you bought too many things, I can't take them."

Xiao Tang Dagong had a bitter face, for the first time in his life, he felt tired of accompanying the girl to go shopping, at this moment his hands were already full of things, even the four guards behind him were the same, if he encountered any emergencies, I am afraid that he would not even have the ability to draw his sword at the first time.

It's just that there won't be any emergencies.

The Count of Alcoba and the Knight of Lefèvre, each with two hundred cavalry, roamed the territory of Munster day and night, striking at any possible robbers; There's also the Town Watch, which is just a relatively remote street, but with a loud shout, the heavily armed Town Watch can be on the scene in less than two minutes.

Perfect law and order is a prerequisite for Munster's prosperity.

Of course, it's not these things that can really reassure the Duke of Xiao Tang.

The laws are all set by people, and the laws are also set by people, as long as you are willing to risk your life, it is not difficult to make a big news, what really reassures the Duke of Xiao Tang that Lily is running around casually, is the dead man who follows Lily at all times.

These guys who have inherited the mantle of Insider Lis, the others don't know, and they have learned ten out of ten to integrate into the darkness, even if they are used to seeing Insider Lis, if they don't pay attention, they can't be found.

"Brother, look, there's a magician here, he can make eggs fly in the air!"

Ahead, Lily's excited shout came again, and Duke Tang looked at the guards helplessly, so he could only follow quickly.

When she arrived at the stall, Lily excitedly grabbed the corner of the little Tang Duke's clothes, as if she had discovered a new world, but unfortunately, after just one glance, the little Tang Dagong understood what this magic was.

Typical medieval crook tricks.

The so-called floating egg is to pierce the egg shell with an iron needle tied with white thread, because it is dark, the white thread cannot be seen in the light, and onlookers think that the egg is suspended.

However, it would be better to leave some room for the little girl to fantasize.

Looking at Xiao Lili, who was happily lying on the table, Xiao Tang Dagong thought to himself.

After all, it's a rare time of peace.

It has been a year since he returned from Scandinavia, and it has been a year since peace, and in this year, the little Tang Grand Duke has lived the happiest life since the crossing.

All the nobles on the island of Ireland have been subdued, and have either become vassals or allies of the Archduke of the Younger Don; The most difficult of all, Archduke Eddard, like a lost dog, borrowed wine every day after fleeing to Connaught, and the rebellion of his son and his knights, which was enough for him to drink a pot; Even the most united Northern Earls Alliance continued to crack because of the gradual fall of the Ulster Earls to the Grand Duke of Tang.

What the little Tang Grand Duke has to do is to sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai and wait for the fish to take the bait.

The swords and soldiers are in storage, and the horses are put in Nanshan or something, and it is no longer just a fantasy.

But on the other hand, the Europa continent is not so calm, it is better to say that the Europa continent has always been a mess.

Let's start with England next door, after almost a long decade, the second wave of the Saxon rebellion has finally arrived.

The reason why it was the second wave was because the first wave had happened ten years earlier, and as a result of that rebellion, the towns of northern England, from York to Lancaster, were almost slaughtered by King William, and everyone was dead, so naturally there was no rebellion.

But at the same time, the bitterly remembered hatred was deeply engraved in the hearts of the Saxons.

It is useless to have hatred without strength, because the strong can pinch the weak to death at any time like a bug, and the Saxons can only endure and endure until they do not know the end of time.

And now, here's the opportunity.

Because of the strategy of the Grand Duke of Don, King William fought on three fronts, Ireland, Scotland, and Franks turned like a marquee, although the final result was thrilling, but King William's power was greatly weakened.

The rebellion broke out immediately.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the Duke of Xiao Tang, who is honestly his merchant of death, and sells weapons wherever people come.

Then came the Franks, who, as expected, were succeeded by a fourteen-year-old prince who became known as Philip II.

The king is young, the ministers are autocratic, foreign enemies are rampant, and the separatist forces at home are even more ready to move, almost everyone thinks that this Frank is a pill!

But the little Tang Grand Duke knew no.

Philip II Augustus, the man who is almost the protagonist of the novel, will eventually crumple the scattered Franks into a whole, and the current ordeal is only the cornerstone of the throne of glory for him.

Therefore, the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang provided weapons to those earls and dukes who wanted independence, and was even willing to sell them at a low price, just to increase the strength of these rebel forces; It would be best if they could borrow their hands to get rid of Philip II's big trouble, and if they couldn't, at least they could delay Philip II's rise.

…… This behavior of the Duke of Xiao Tang now has a very apt name:-stirring stick.

The kings of all nations hated each other.

If it weren't for the fact that they were really uncompetitive in their country, a bunch of bad things, they would have to join forces to kill Ireland a long time ago.

But the general public doesn't think so.

Slaves aside, the freemen, and the craftsmen with their craft, dreamed of going to Munster, where peace and prosperity were all in their way, and even the nobles tried to hinder them in vain.

In Brittany, for example, the duke gave the order that if a fugitive was found, he would be hanged without asking the reason; But such a harsh order did not stop the enthusiasm of the people, obviously we can't go, let's smuggle in, anyway, it's such a shallow strait, a small broken boat stuffed with canned Latin fish, swaying and swaying.

The people's hearts are back!

But even the most knowledgeable peasants knew that such a peace would only be short-lived.

The land of Europe is full of beacon fires, and a place like Xanadu is a small isolated village, but the brightest star in the night sky like Munster cannot escape the obscurity of the god of war in any way.

On the third day after Eid al-Fitr, a papal decree with the crucifixion of the Crucifixion, sealed with the finest wax and engraved in expensive red ink, appeared on the desk of the little Tang Grand Duke.
