Chapter 409: 10,000 Servant Army
No matter what tricks Qin Dong used, Nicola refused to leave, insisting that Qin Dong agree to take her with her to fight the Franks and Burgundians.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, even if you are very capable of fighting, but on the battlefield your strength alone is limited after all, no more than you, no less than you, even if you go, it will not play the slightest role in the battle, do you understand? Why do you have to go along? Qin Dong was very helpless about Nicola's insistence, but he couldn't force her out, so he had to persuade her to leave.
Nicola said: "I must go, the Burgundians killed my brother, I want to find them to avenge my brother, if you dislike me alone, you can go and ask my father to send troops against the Burgundians together, I can be the general of this army and go with you."
For the situation of the Alemanni royal family, Qin Dong also heard a little, a few years ago the Burgundians and the Alemanni people had a war, nothing more than to fight for territory, in that war, the Alemanni killed a prince, it turned out that this person is Nicola's sibling brother, because it is a mother, so the brother and sister have a good relationship, after the brother died in battle, Nicola has always wanted to find the Burgundian revenge, so she practiced her fighting skills hard, plus she is talented, just a few years have made her progress very fast, From the battle with her Muge just now, it could be seen that her combat power was not lower than that of her Muge.
"It turns out that the prince who died in battle with the Burgundians a few years ago was your fellow brother!" Qin Dong said, thought about it and said, "I also understand the feeling that you want to avenge your brother. I can grant you this request, or I can go and tell your father that he should send troops with my army against the Burgundians. But what if you go to the battlefield and your mind is blinded by hatred and you don't listen to me? You must know that the consequences of a general's disobedience to the commander's orders are unpredictable! ”
Seeing that Qin Dong showed signs of relenting, Nicola immediately said: "Don't worry about this, I swear to obey your military orders, I will beat whoever you ask me to beat, if I don't obey the military order, I will order my head to be beheaded, this is always okay, right?" ”
"Hey, hey. If you really don't obey the military order by then, I'm afraid the consequences will not be solved by cutting off your head! Qin Dong snorted twice, and after finishing speaking, he said, "It's easy for your father to send troops to attack the Burgundians together with my army. But I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to be a general with troops, I'm afraid that your father won't agree, how can he be willing to let his precious princess go to the battlefield with weapons to fight? You know, the men of the Alemanni are not dead yet! ”
Nicola sniffled and snorted, "I don't care. You are the Emperor. If you say a word, my father will not dare not listen to it, right? ”
Qin Dong shook his head and said: "If you are in the official office or in the army, of course I can make this request to your father, the problem is that you have no status as an official and a military general at all, although you are the princess of the Alemanni Kingdom, I can't order your father to do this, just like I can order any official and any general or officer, but I can't order the common people." Do you understand? ”
Nicola wanted to cry when she heard this, but she could see the expression on Qin Dong's face. Immediately understood that Qin Dong had not finished speaking, and immediately said: "I know, of course I know, but I believe that you must have a way, right?" ”
Qin Dong didn't answer her words, but changed the topic and said, "You go back first, Rong Zhen will think about this matter later!" ”
Nicola didn't leave, but lifted the kettle on the table and poured herself a glass of water and drank it all, and then said with a big grin: "This announcement won't leave tonight, just sleep here!" ”
Qin Dong had already begun to think about other things, but when he heard Nicola's words, he was immediately shocked, and walked over to Nicola and said viciously: "Are you really not leaving tonight?" Just sleeping here? Aren't you afraid of what I'll do to you? ”
Nicola raised her head and looked majestic, "What is this princess afraid of?" Everyone outside knows that Princess Ben has entered your bedroom, do you dare to do anything to Princess Ben? You are an emperor, if you dare to do that, you are not afraid of affecting your prestige and reputation? By the way, tonight Princess Ben sleeps in bed, as for where you sleep, solve it yourself, don't disturb Princess Ben's sleep! ”
What the hell is this woman doing? What normal girl would stay in a strange man's room at night and beg to leave? Nicola's strange behavior puzzled Qin Dong, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Did you sneak out of your own dormitory?" And you know they're looking for you? ”
"Hey, you know all this? The brain is very good, yes, I sneaked out, you guessed right, but I sue you, I won't go back if I kill you, I must go with you to Lugtunsith to fight the Burgundians! ”
This woman is determined to hide here, but Qin Dong is not the kind of man who deliberately pretends to be a decent gentleman when he has a woman by his side, he said: "I ask you again, are you really not leaving?" ”
Nicola twisted her head to the side: "Don't go, if you say you don't go, you won't go!" ”
But soon Nicola cried out, "Ahhh Let go, you let go of my .......".
Qin Dong didn't seem to hear Nicola's screams at all, and walked to the large bed in the room with her in his arms. Shop, no matter how Nicola fights, she won't let go.
"I thought that barbarian women were very open in this regard, how do you know that it is nothing more than that, but it is impossible for you to hide from it, who told you to insist on staying here, from tonight, you are destined to be my woman!" Qin Dong threw Nicola on the bunk, and pressed it as he spoke, ignoring Nicola's crying at all.
This woman was on par with Qi Muge before, but now after being suppressed by Qin Dong, she didn't have the slightest ability to resist, and a babbling and humming sound suddenly sounded in the room, which lasted until very late.
The next day, the army of the Western Expedition continued to stay outside the city of Jurigo to rest, Qin Dong sent someone to call King Gibkate over, and when Gibkett arrived, Qin Dong asked him to sit down, and then said: "Gibket, I heard that there was a great war between your country and the Burgundians a few years ago, and in that great battle your eldest son was killed by the Burgundians, is that so?" ”
Gibkate didn't expect Qin Dong to ask about this matter, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" It's been a few years since this incident, and I don't know why His Majesty asked about it? ”
Qin Dongyan said: "In this way, your country has a big enmity with the Burgundians, and it just so happens that this time I am riding westward, the enemies to deal with are the Burgundians, and the Burgundians are our common enemies, do you want to send an army to attack the Burgundians with me?" ”
"Well, is Your Majesty going to attack the Burgundians? The minister didn't think of this, but if His Majesty really wanted to attack the Burgundians, the minister could send an army to follow His Majesty to deal with them! ”
Qin Dong saw that Gibkite agreed on the spot, and knew that the relationship between the Amani and the Burgundian must be very unharmonious, and it can even be said that they hate each other, it seems that this time the number of troops should be enough, the Alemanni people, like other Germanic tribes, although they already have cavalry, but the combat effectiveness and number of cavalry make their cavalry can only play some auxiliary role, and cannot exist as the main army, and the main force is still mainly infantry, This is known from the fact that the Alemanni had long crossed the Alps to invade the Western Roman Empire, and their infantry had a clear advantage in fighting in the mountains.
Qin Dong was very happy, because many of the places where the Franks and Burgundians lived were mountainous and hilly, and the cavalry led by Qin Dong this time could not serve as the main force in the mountainous and hilly areas, and only used infantry, and there were too few troops, if the Alemanni army joined, it would be relieved, at least there was no need to worry about the lack of infantry, and the Alemanni people had been active in the mountains for a long time, walking on flat ground in the mountains, and they were familiar with how to survive in the mountains, so that his army would not suffer in the mountains because they did not adapt to the environment.
"Okay, Gibkate, I'm glad you can send troops, I don't know which general you are going to send to lead the army, and how many troops to send under his command?"
Gibkite thought that if he organized too many troops, he felt a little painful, but if he sent too few troops, and he was worried that Qin Dong would be unhappy, he would also feel that he couldn't take it, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has the main troops here to defend all places, and at most he can only draw out 10,000 troops for His Majesty to drive, and the minister is very old, I'm afraid he can't personally accompany His Majesty to the expedition, the minister thought about it again and again, and wanted General Venn to lead the army to accompany His Majesty to fight the Burgundians, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks? ”
Qin Dong said: "I don't know who this General Venn is?" What is he capable of leading 10,000 troops with me? ”
"If Your Majesty doesn't mind, can you send someone to call General Venn to let His Majesty see him?"
Qin Dong nodded and said, "Okay, then send someone to call General Vain!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Vane was soon called over by Gibkette, and when Qin Dong saw it, he saw that this person had a long beard, and his figure was tall and mighty. looks like a powerful force, but he doesn't know how good the leader is to command the battle, so he came up with a few questions in succession to test Vain, who knows that Vane is basically not clear about marching and commanding operations, it seems that he can just fight, what is the use of such a person? After Qin Dong asked, he asked him to retreat.
Seeing this, Gibkate asked, "Your Majesty, how is General Vaane?" Looking at His Majesty's face, can't he be competent? ”
Qin Dong shook his head and said: "General Vane may have very good combat skills, but he is not suitable to be a general who leads the army and commands the battle, only a brave general who charges into battle."
"How's that good? If even General Vane can't do it......".
Qin Dong spoke in time: "If you can't think of anyone who can do it, I can recommend someone, of course this person is from your country, I guess you shouldn't mind, right?" ”
Gibkate was surprised: "I don't know who His Majesty is talking about?" ”
"It's your little daughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Nicola!"
"Huh? This, this, how can this be? She's a girl who doesn't know how to fight! (To be continued......)
