Chapter 743: Enterprising
No one could have imagined that this war would end so quickly, so fast that people would not have time to react. When the Madrama Empire and the Ilan Holy Empire declared war, some countries around the Ilan Holy Empire were also about to move, all thinking of taking advantage of this war to get a piece of the pie, but of course they were not in a hurry to make a move, it was best to wait until the two sides were fighting inextricably before they made a move, but what they didn't expect was that in just 19 days, the war was over, how could they react.
This time, the Holy Empire of Ilama really made a lot of money, and it received a large amount of compensation from the Madrama Empire without any losses, and temporarily solved the southern border problem, because the losses on the side of the Madrama Empire were relatively heavy this time, and there was no war to be launched in a short time, which means that the Holy Empire of Ilan can now concentrate its forces to expand in the north, so the countries to the north are naturally a lot more dangerous.
Among them was the Yetis Empire, which had previously clashed with the Holy Empire of Ilan, so they were panicked. Originally, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the other party was caught in a war with the orcs, but now they are a little passive, in case the Holy Empire of Ilan comes to them for trouble at this time, they are really very headaches. So without saying a word, the Yates Empire hurriedly increased the troops on the border to prevent the sudden attack of the Holy Empire of Ilan.
As for the Holy Empire of Ilan, they are really discussing whether to attack the Yates Empire, the main reason is that the vassals and generals below are too noisy, and the Vigley Emperor here has a headache.
Yes, this time the matter of peace, Emperor Wigley obviously agreed with the suggestion of the civilian faction, of course, it is also the most suitable suggestion, they can't digest the land of the orc clan, and they can't destroy their country, so there is really no need to fight, and it is the best way to knock on a direct peace. But these generals don't care whether they are suitable or not, and they can't be promoted by governing the country, and the only way to be promoted is to fight.
In this war, the generals and the vassals below were very dissatisfied, because no one had gained any military merits at all. The two countries fought, basically no battle was fought, and the only two who won the battle were General Lawson, who was in charge of defending the fortress, and Garsein, who led the headquarters to attack before, and the others came over to gather, what is this. They gather troops and allocate troops, all of which need money, for the sake of military exploits, but they come over and walk away, so can they be convinced.
In addition, this war took a big advantage, it can be said that it was a complete victory, and it also nurtured their blind self-confidence, and now that their national strength is strong and the morale of the soldiers is full, why not fight? There is really some truth in this, because it is true that the Holy Empire of Ilan now has soldiers, money, and a suitable diplomatic environment, which can be regarded as the best time to fight.
The generals and vassals here are constantly making trouble, and on the civilian side, they actually agree to go to war. They don't have to fight against the military attache group, carefully analyze the current situation, it is true that their empire has the spare strength to go to war, and unlike the Madrama Empire, the Yatis Empire was originally a human empire, and their land can naturally be eaten, so they do not object to the suggestions put forward by the generals, it depends on the decision of His Majesty the Emperor.
Faced with this situation, Wigley was very calm, and did not explicitly indicate whether he wanted to go to war, but first recalled all the vassals who had gone to the south in the name of the celebration banquet.
Of course, Linton and Garsein also returned to the imperial capital, of course, it will take some time for their troops to return, and all the vassals will return with the teleportation array first, which is only the day after the treaty between the two countries is signed. As soon as the two returned, they were informed that Emperor Wigley had summoned them.
It didn't take long for the two to meet Wigley in the apse of the palace, which was not a formal occasion, but a private summons. Of course, Wigley was going to talk to the two about private matters, such as ...... The question of the wedding.
Yes, the war is over, and Linton's wedding can go ahead. Wigley was really afraid of Linton, and while the other party was there, he hurriedly held the wedding first, and the person in the province disappeared again inexplicably. Fortunately, this war ended inexplicably quickly, and the wedding props and the like prepared last time are still there, so now just send the invitation again, and most of the domestic vassals have also returned to the imperial capital at this time because they want to participate in the celebration banquet, which can be said to be a very suitable time.
The time of the wedding was discussed, and it was only five days later, and of course Linton did not have an opinion. As he had decided before, this time he decided to finish the wedding affair first anyway and then study other things such as tasks.
After the family talk here, Wigley quickly talked about state affairs, which was naturally the issue raised by the ministers to take the initiative to start a war with the Yetis Empire. Wigley had already heard the opinions of many other returning vassals, and he was also asking for the opinion of Garthern's side.
"I think now should be a good time to go to war." Garsein thought for a moment and said.
"Hmm......" Wigley nodded, nodding somewhat undeniably when he heard that Garseen also agreed to go to war.
"You mean you don't want to go to war?" Linton, who was next to him, asked, "Do you have any scruples?" ”
"It is true that now the empire has money and food and can afford the war. But once there is a war, if it is protracted...... Wigley said.
Linton understood that this old man's courage was really too small, and he didn't have such great pioneering ambitions. When defending the existing territory, the old man was very concerned, but the purpose of this war was to expand the territory, and he didn't seem to be so concerned about this aspect.
To put it simply, Wigley is a master of the city, and he probably thinks that he can keep one acre and three points of land, a bit like Liu Jingsheng during the Three Kingdoms period, according to Cao Cao, he is the dog ear of the gatekeeper, not a hero.
"Now that there are no problems at home, it is not a bad thing to take the initiative to declare war on the outside world. Although the current peace is very valuable, the promotion route of generals and vassals in peacetime is also blocked, and there is really no way to promote, and they may have to rebel. Linton spread his hands and said, "Now is indeed the best time to declare war on the outside world, and it is time to implement the policy of maintaining domestic stability." ”
"That's ......," Wigley nodded slightly.
"Don't make trouble, don't everyone agree to go to war now, if you don't contradict it, what if someone rebels inexplicably, I'll get married in five days, if someone suddenly rebels again, won't it drag on again." Linton said.
Speaking of this, Wigley's face is a little dark, isn't it you who has always been the most troublesome, you don't see people at every turn, and now I blame him. Speaking of which, Wigley also scolded Garseen and Linton directly as soon as he lost his temper. Of course, the main reason is that he has a close relationship with Linton, and if he is an ordinary saint, it is impossible for Wigley to lose his temper with them, but although Linton is a saint, after all, he is his son-in-law and junior, so his attitude is still different.
Of course, Linton also has a house in the imperial capital, which is the mansion of the former Duke of Rennes. The Duke of Rennes was also raided before the rebellion, and of course the house was confiscated, but then the emperor also gave it directly to Garsein.
The mansion had been renovated in the past few months to serve as the wedding home for Linton and Princess Arran. Yes, this is where the two live after marriage, according to the previous agreement, the place where Linton will settle after that is the imperial capital, after all, the general saint level is also enshrined in the imperial capital. That doesn't matter to Linton, anyway, there are marks on his nephew's body, and there are marks here, so just fly and be done.
"Or we'll rebel." As soon as the two of them came back, Garseen here had just taken a sip of water, but when he heard Linton suddenly come to such a sentence, he squirted out directly.
"Ahem, ahem...... You wait, what is the situation all of a sudden, why is there a rebellion for no reason? Garseen quickly wiped his mouth and said.
"I feel that following this emperor is too promising, and I have to think about your future here." Linton said.
"It's not...... You're going to marry his daughter in five days, and now you're telling me you're going to rebel? Garseen couldn't help but say.
"Then our family is a rebel pacesetter after all......"
"Nonsense, our family has never rebelled, okay? And our family was just a little baron in the country before I was, okay? Where did you get the capital for rebellion? Garseen yelled, "You're just looking for trouble, aren't you?" ”
"But now that our family's official seal has basically come to an end, it's time to consider rebellion." Linton said.
"Who told you that you will rebel at the end of the seal." Garseen said.
"I'm not thinking about your future." Linton said.
"It's all about trying to make me take the blame, right?" Garseen said.
"Cut, such a two, so unenterprising." Linton said, "Really? ”
"You don't really think about it." Garseen said, "Don't make trouble, you can get married in five days, can you settle down a little now, I'm almost haggard from you." ”
"Okay, okay, although I do want to think about it seriously, but let's get married first." Linton thought for a moment and said.
Seeing Linton's expression, Garseen couldn't tell whether he was serious or not, but Linton didn't continue to talk about it for the next few days, and the time soon came five days later, that is, the day of Linton's wedding.
