For Carthus, 1458 was a year of fire and blood.

In the past few years, with the rule of the former high priest group, Carthus's life is not as good as day by day - although it was very uncomfortable in the past, but with the blessing of the gods, the climate is not bad, but with the blizzard a few years ago, the Carthusian people, who were suppressed by the heavy burden, finally could not move forward.

Fortunately, however, the days of suffering were finally over, and after a riot, Burley appeared in the limelight to save the suffering Carters.

Carthus's savior, the Carthusian general Berray, who led the army and "temporarily" took over Carthus, and after the temporary high priesthood, Burley quickly introduced some new measures to stabilize the situation.

Most of the people don't really understand what the policy of Burley is, but what they can feel is that the prices that have been rising for three consecutive months have fallen unprecedentedly, and those arrogant and unscrupulous businessmen are either forced to sell grain or go to prison.

The old problem of Carthus, the narrow gates, was finally solved this winter, and the entrances of the large caravans, hawkers, and passers-by were separated, and the common people no longer had to huddle with the stinking hawkers.

And those rich children who like to open military passages into the city, led by those who were mysteriously killed more than a month later, according to others, were hanged by a white-haired man, and when those rich children were killed, the whole city applauded, after all, everyone's resentment towards them was not a day or two.

[Heh, I finally hanged you scum, I have been waiting for this day for eight years] This is the exclamation of a white-haired man when he saw the corpse of a hanged nobleman, the only regret is that the reason for hanging this group of people is not to embezzle public property, but to rebel against the existing regime.

"I made a deal with the devil, knowing that a natural disaster would break out within five years, and then I would support Burley to cooperate with the army through urban riots at the right time, and get rid of the original high priesthood group, so that they could get out of Carthus. ”

"If these scum are too ugly, they will provoke public anger, and that's when Carthusian intervenes - if they don't look too ugly, I can help them and teach them how to eat ugly," Dante smiled.

"How can you be sure that those people will definitely fall into the trap?" After listening to Dante's first phase of the plan, Mai asked the most crucial question, "If they are serious about disaster relief and fulfill their duties as high priests, won't your plan be completely frustrated?"

"I remember that Nichor once said to me, called the meat eaters, and it can be seen from the city gate that when the Kathusian famine struck, they did not take advantage of the fire to rob the victims, but to help the disaster?

"Besides, isn't this still me? Didn't I invest in a chamber of commerce? If these idiots really don't know how to eat ugly, I'll teach them. ”

"In short, when I make them villains, when the contradictions accumulate to the apex, that's when I intervene. This is the most crucial step, marking the basic plate of whether Burley has no hegemony. ”

Mei Yi stepped back, closed her eyes and nodded slightly, "Okay, this is your first ...... The two-phase plan, I assumed it all succeeded, and then what?"

The damned High Priests of Carthus, who did not give up after they had been driven away, wanted to retake Carthus, so they made trouble outside the country, and soon gathered a group of intervention troops from their in-laws to retake Carthus.

Of course, before the attack, Dunkiel still sent envoys to try to resolve the issue through verbal negotiations, but the result was self-evident, the gap between the two sides was too great, and the talks collapsed.

The intervention forces were mainly from Dunkirk, but also some Senama nobles, who rallied together and marched north to attack Carthus.

Before the arrival of the intervention forces, Burley preemptively occupied the favorable terrain of the southern mountains of Carthus, preparing to ambush here. After a beautiful ambush, in the mountains, Burley managed to defeat the intervention army in Dunkirk, and the intervention army's offensive suffered a tragic defeat.

And this failed intervention also provided an excuse for Burley to become the ruler of Dunkiel - of course, now Burley has not had time to intervene in Dunkirk, and Burley's immediate priority is to put down all the unruly priests around Carthus, and there are still some small cities around Carthusian that have not yet obeyed Burley.

This is not an easy task, and most of those high priests are related to the old high priests, and there are very many of them.

However, Bray was the general of Weijung, who controlled the strongest army in Carthus, and after defeating the intervening army, there was time for them to be consumed. The reason is also readily available, this group of people had previously colluded with the Intervention Army in an attempt to overthrow Burley.

After the amnesty of 1458, Burley's efforts to regain the surrounding cities became more and more successful. The so-called amnesty decree is to forgive those high priests who have colluded with the old high priest group, as long as they lay down their arms now and are not guilty of the past.

Don't let the blow go wider, that's the point Dante admonished Burley.

"The general is really a good man" "Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't easily let go of those bastards who collude with hateful enemies"

Of course, Burley's amnesty was also praised by the people under his rule, and the people have been doing very well in recent years, and in the action of pursuing the old high priesthood, the commoners divided the looted wealth, and the land and land were divided among the political allies of Burley, and everyone lived well, except for the old priesthood.

In this way, in 1460, at the age of 54, Burley finally took complete control of Carthus, removed the ugly word agent, became the official high priest, and was recognized by Senama.

"After Burley takes control of Carthus, the next direction of expansion will be Dunkiel in the south, and it can only be Dunkirk. Because the official road of Carthusia leads only in two directions, Senama and Dunkirk. Now we haven't touched Senama's strength, so let's pick Dunkiel first. ”

Mei Yi asked, "Then on what grounds are you going to attack Dunkirk?"

"There are always reasons, and without which I can make one. ”

In fact, things went even more smoothly than Dante had anticipated, and Dunkiel supported the intervention of the old High Priesthood group, providing a ready-made justification for Burley's troops.

So in 1461, after refusing Senama's mediation, Burley sent troops to Dunkiel in the name of revenge.

To the north of Dunkirk, Burley fought a battle with the Dunkiel army, which ended in the defeat of Dunkiel, who had no choice but to expel the old Carthusian clique of the Carthusian priesthood as a sign of submission to Carthus.

After hearing that the next target was Dunkirk, Mei Yi lowered her head and pondered for a while, and suddenly raised her head: "I found a problem, there is no qualitative gap between Carthus and Dunkirk, how do you ensure that the result of the battle is the victory of Burley?"

"Besides, even if you win Dunkirk, will you be able to occupy that side? ”

"Hahaha," said Dante, clapping his hands and laughing, "I have already prepared for something else, and if you think about it, did Burley just sit in Senama and do nothing in the years when he was away from Carthus?"

Mei Yi is not a stupid person, and when she heard this, she understood what Dante wanted to do: "I remember you said earlier that there is a fire in the Senama chief priesthood, and not only in Carthus. ”

"Yes!" Dante slammed the table, "In both ways, Burley will be on Senama's side to promote his theories and attract his companions." ”

"Senama's original group of chief priests has become corrupt and degenerate, unable to solve the existing chaos in Senama, and must be reformed, and the old group must be eliminated in order to make Senama new. ”

"What if you can't deliver on that promise?"

"Hehe, no, the Senama chief priesthood is too ugly, I just need to make sure that the new ruling group is more elegant, and then divide the remnants of the old group among the people, even if the promise is fulfilled. ”

After Burley's victory over Dunkire's army, he actually broke Senama's unspoken rule and did not withdraw his army, but continued to march and occupy the land of Dunkirk.

"High Priest of Carthus, you are violating the rules!" When Burley marched, the priesthood of Dunkir panicked and sent an envoy to accuse Burley, "If you continue to attack us, you will break the rules! At that time, don't blame Senama for sending an intervention army!"

"I'm not breaking the rules, I'm just helping my friend," Burley denied unhurriedly in the face of the accusations of the high priest of Dunkirk.

Hearing this, the envoy was not greeted with perfunctory anger, but a cold feeling began to rise from the soles of his feet, as he remembered how Burley had seized the position.

Sure enough, on the way back of the envoys, they heard the news of the mutiny, and the army of Dunkir rioted and successfully drove out the original high priest in the main city.

Then, with the cooperation of Burley's internal and external affairs, this group of nouveau riche succeeded in driving out the original Dunkirk priestly group and becoming the new priestly group, implementing the Burley's set of policies.

And these nobles who created a military rebellion in Dunkir were the companions of Burley in the past at Senama. At this time, you don't need to follow Burley to the death, you just need to have a little ambition, and that's enough.

The old nobles of Dunkirk, as well as the old nobles of Carthus, had no choice but to continue to retreat after the fall of Dunkirk, this time directly to Senama to cry about what had happened.

"In short, the third stage of the plan is here, with Burley of Carthus, plus Dunkiel as his vassal, Burley already owns a third of Sennama's territory, and it is time to break with Senama. ”

Mei Yi said: "Tear it up now? With the child's calculation method, how can you beat one to two? Besides, what if Ge Xiuge interferes?"

"The tribute paid by Carthus and Dunkiel to Goschug is still paid honestly, and our tribute is handed over, and if it is misappropriated by Senama to fund the war, it is Senama's problem, and it has nothing to do with Burley. And as long as the tribute is paid, Goschug will fight Senama to death, and as for Seluriad? ”

"In addition, you can't count the so-called one to two, the only one who really supports Senama is Lierfan, Lacey will probably stand in Senama in the downwind bureau, and Vignon occupies his own horse farm, and he has always been five to six, and he will not bird Senama's orders at all. ”

"So the battle situation seems to be dangerous, but there is hidden vitality, the key to breaking the game is on Reis, we just need to let Reis fall to Carter, then we can have the upper hand. ”
