Soon, Siwicks met the young man who personally escorted the goods to Fort Yafi this time, that is, Li Anran, an intelligence agent under the Cairo Intelligence Department.

Cairo put him in contact with Siwicks, in fact, in order to ensure the survival of the rebels, and then quietly support them so that they can cause trouble for the Ottomans in the future.

Otherwise, why bother?

You know, the information provided before is very valuable, not to mention that the food supplied during this period of time has been basically cheap.

If it weren't for the fact that these rebel armies would be of great use in the future, the Cairo side would not have made such a great effort.

Li Anren is very clear about this.

It's just that the people of West Weeks don't understand.

Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there will be no help for no reason.

It's just that Siwicks can't think of any place where he can be taken advantage of by the other party, so after getting in touch with Li Anran, his mentality is different.

In Siwicks' opinion, this Li Anran should be very sincere.

They really want to help the rebels, not take advantage.

Otherwise, he could have sold the grain to himself at a higher price, and he didn't have many options.

Not to mention that the other side also provided a lot of information, and came up with such a perfect plan as attacking the Principality of Hungary.

It's just that what Sywicks doesn't know is that there is a saying in the East that says, 'Cast a long line to catch a big fish', and their rebel army is just a 'big fish'.

Before the big fish is hooked, if you want to harvest it, you must at least take out some bait.

Then, Li Anran's evaluation of the grain sold, the very valuable information provided, and the suggestion of attacking the Principality of Hungary are bait.

Fort Yafi Central. On the street outside the residence of the former Viscount Stoker, dozens of carriages were parked.

On top of these wagons were stacked with sacks of grain, which made them look like small mountain bags.

By the time Siwicks arrived, his men had already organized themselves and were constantly unloading the grain from the wagons and piling them aside.

So, it's a very lively place.

Siwicks swept his eyes and found that the food sent by the other party this time was obviously a lot more than the previous ones.

Just by scanning it with his eyes, he can judge that the amount of food this time is at least three times as much as the previous ones.

It was the pillow that Sleepy encountered. I just happened to want to talk to the other party to see if I could expand the number of grain transactions.

Well, now that the other party took the initiative to get such a batch of grain, it can be regarded as solving his big problem.

After Fort Yafi fell into the hands of the rebels, Siwicks and the others counted some of Yaffei's supplies.

There were thousands of weapons and armor, and hundreds of thousands of gold and silver coins.

However, there is not much food.

Through inquiry, I learned that most of Yafei's grain was taken away by the Archduke of Hungary after he led the army.

So. The amount of stock here in Yaffi Fort is not so much.

Therefore, after the capture of Fort Yaffei, the rebel army still had a big shortage of food.

But. Fortunately, I got a lot of gold and silver here, so if I paid a lot of money, I wouldn't have to worry about not being able to buy food.

But strictly speaking, this money is not a lot, and it is not resistant to spending at all.

Europe is now at war, and the price of food is skyrocketing.

These money from Fort Yaffei. If you go to the top, you can only buy dozens of tons of grain, and someone has to be willing to sell it.

With the current environment of the rebel army, basically no merchants are willing to deal with them.

Even if it's a dealing. The asking price will also be very high, which is simply not something that the rebel army can afford.

Therefore, if you want to get a reasonable price to buy food, you can only do it from Li Anran.

It's just that Siwicks doesn't know if he can convince the other party to sell more.

Therefore, he was still a little apprehensive on the way here.

But now he felt that his idea should have a good chance of success.

Besides, they have already captured Yafi Fort, which can be regarded as a small territory. It's no longer like it used to beggars.

There are many villages around Fort Yaffei, and as long as people in the area of Fort Yafi do not want to leave, then they will have to pay taxes to the rebels in the future.

In other words, the rebel army has another stable source of income.

At the same time, it didn't matter if the original inhabitants of the Fort Yafi area left, the land they left behind could be distributed to those in the rebel army.

A large number of these people are unlikely to become warriors, and even if they do, their families need to have a stable source of income.

The rebels can't always keep them.

Then, these people were scattered around the area of Fort Yaffei, and they were given land to cultivate.

These people will also have to pay taxes when they have income in the future.

With such a guarantee, Siwicks felt that he should have a little capital to talk to Li Anran about the expansion of the grain trade.

At this time, Li Anran was wearing a long set of European coarse cloth robes, and the style of the robe looked like the kind of long-term wear worn by those low-level rural pastors in the church.

After Siwicks appeared, Li Anran greeted him with a smile.

"Congratulations, congratulations, you have successfully taken Afeburg, and you already have a lot of territory. I think that as long as you carry out the original plan, it will not be a problem to seize the whole of the Hungarian principality. ”

Li Anran stood still in front of Siwicks, stretched out his hand and shook Siwicks, and congratulated with a sincere expression on his face.

Siwicks also smiled, and responded, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for your proposal and the food you supplied earlier." If it weren't for the food, our ranks would have collapsed long ago. Or if it weren't for your proposal, we wouldn't have attacked Hungary at all, let alone achieved such results. Now, we've been defeated by the Ottomans, and the Ottomans have had their heads cut off. ”

Sywicks said this very modestly. But it's also true.

The Ottoman army was not as weak as the Hungarians.

Especially when they were in Ottoman territory, the military town on the northern border of the Ottoman that had been planned to be attacked was even stronger and more difficult to attack than Yafiburg.

So, if it wasn't for the choice to attack the Hungarian principality, that plan was carried out. Now, as Siwicks himself said, their rebel army had been defeated and collapsed by the Ottomans, and their leaders had been defeated and captives and their heads cut off.

"I don't know, Mr. Li, why did you come here in person this time? It's a dangerous journey, and if something happens to you, we'll regret it. ”

After Sywicks responded to Li Anran. Lina asked with a worried look at her application, and asked with some confusion.

The two did not stop on the street at this time, but walked towards the building on the side of the street as the conversation began.

At this time, Fort Yafei was completely under the control of the rebels, so there was no need to worry about any security problems.

Although there are still many Hungarian civilians in the city, as well as people who entered the city nearby Naxi to escape the war, these people are too late to be afraid now, how can they find trouble for no reason.

Besides, Siwicks had repeatedly told the rebel soldiers entering the city not to harass the civilians in the city. There must be no such thing as looting.

So, on the whole, it was calm in Yafiburg.

It's impossible to have no problems at all, but it's all under control.

Improvised, law enforcement teams patrol the streets and catch offending soldiers on the spot. In particular, if such a bad incident as rape is discovered. Soldiers who break the law will not be appeased.

Therefore, the Hungarian people in the city did not have any ill feelings towards the rebels.

I have to say that this era is still very good. Because people don't have a sense of the state. So, they were quite numb to who ruled them.

Anyway, who will rule, isn't it the same life?

It's not different at all.

So. The people of Yafiburg didn't pay much attention to the fact that they had changed rulers. As long as the new rulers of western Zhejiang come, it will not have any impact or harm to them.

And as long as they can do nothing wrong, then they will not oppose the rule of the rebel army, and they will not bring any trouble and instability to the rule of the rebel army.

This is also the reason why Siwicks taught the soldiers not to harass the people and civilians in the city before entering the city, and not to let them loot.

And, in order to prevent these things from happening, Sywicks also formed a law enforcement team to patrol the streets.

All of this, in fact, thanks to Li Anran.

It was Li Anran who privately reminded West Weeks some time ago and made him notice this.

Otherwise, the fall of Yafi Fort this time, the rebel army will definitely have to loot it fiercely.

"There were some dangers on the road, but I also had some guards who could be trusted. So, it's not a big problem. Li Anran responded with a smile. Then he looked at Siwicks and said, "Now that Castle has fallen, I don't think it will be long before you start attacking Budapest, the capital of the Principality of Hungary, according to the plan, right?" “

Siwicks nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to start marching to Budapest in two days." “

After receiving Sivix's answer, Li Anran gradually put away the smile on his face and became serious and serious.

"I am here this time mainly to have some important information to tell you, and at the same time, I also have some personal things to say to you, which is related to the life and death of your rebel army." , Li Anran's words made Siwicks' body pause, and at the same time, his eyes narrowed......
