Chapter 115: Heading for King's Landing!
It had been two months since they had returned to Riverrun, and the coalition forces had gathered enough food and grass to prepare for the march to King's Landing.
The first thing Han Xing did when he returned to Rushing City was to "recycle" Wang Pengfei and the others. So much so that when Han Xing saw Wang Pengfei again, he felt that this guy was at least fat, and he also had a mustache, like the old man Bayi in Avanti, Han Xing didn't recognize him at first glance, and thought it was a rich man!
He (shēn) wears a red shirt and a black sleeveless velvet robe, but even the robe can't hide the guy's tendency to develop horizontally. Coupled with the well-dressed beard he wears, he looks like a native of Westeros.
Wang Mingxia added a big fat boy to Wang Pengfei, giving birth to a child in Westeros may be very suspenseful, but giving birth to a child in the "Riverside District" will only be more suspenseful, at least if you have a child in Westeros, you can still hire a doctor, right?
Most people would love to go back to Riverside, they'd had enough of Westeros, enough for a year, enough time for them to turn around every nook and cranny of Riverrun, and the modern people were obviously much more "happy" than the Westeros, and they quickly got tired of the monotonous entertainment of Riverrun.
In the time that followed, they camped near Riverrun almost every day, and rarely patronized taverns and other entertainment venues, but their lives were much more nourishing than Han Xing's.
Most of them, especially Wang Pengfei's family, have a sense of belonging to the "riverside area" and regard it as home. So can't wait to go back.
Of course, not everyone is happy to return to the "Riverside District", a considerable number of people (mainly male (xìng) singles) refuse to return to the "Riverside District", a year is enough time for them to start a family in Westeros, and maybe the foundation is good, their Westeros lingua franca is slippery, especially Lin Dong and the barber Wang Wei, his barbering skills have become fragrant in Westeros, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is (rì) into the gold, it is not an exaggeration to say.
They have a much better time in Westeros than in the "Riverside District", if they go back to the place where the birds don't poop in the "Riverside District", they still have to be controlled by Han Xing, where is it as happy as being a rich man in Westeros! Of course they weren't happy!
In the end, a third of them chose to stay, because Westeros is indeed much more interesting than the "riverside", isn't it? Although their ethnicity makes it difficult for them to integrate into Westeros, compared to the real world of Europe and the United States, Westeros is still very tolerant (xìng), not to mention their wallets. Rich people can live well anywhere.
Han Xing was also very happy that these thorns could get out, and then secretly thought in his heart: "A bunch of fools! I'm afraid I haven't watched Game of Thrones! When the War of the Five Kings breaks out more than ten years later, you will feel good! ”
It is worth mentioning that Robert was elected as the "alliance leader" of the coalition army, in fact, this is very understandable, the first reason is that whether it is Jon Arryn or Horst Tully or Ed, they are not interested in the Iron Throne, not to mention that Robert is the initiator of this war, just like Cao (cāo), who initiated the fight against Dong, is a natural candidate for the alliance leader, after all, he provoked this matter, right? What's more, the main battles during this period were fought by Robert.
The second is that Robert's grandmother is Raleigh Targaryen, Jr., the daughter of Aegon V. Besides, House Baratheon was originally an offshoot of House Targaryen, so he was the only one in the rebels who was qualified to claim the Iron Throne.
You have to tell the right thing about everything, right? After all, Westeros is not popular in Fengtian Jingnan or Qingjun's side! It was easy to fight a war in the Middle Ages in Europe, and you could go to war with any nonsense excuse, and you could fight to the death for a well, a forest. However, you can't take someone else's legitimate territory because of such a excuse.
For example, if you're an earl, you've coveted your neighbor's territory for a long time, but you can't just knock on your door and rob it. Even if you succeed in occupying someone else's territory and castle, you can't say that this place is yours now, which means that people can come back with troops to rob them at any time, after all, they have a "real estate certificate" in their hands, right? In this way, even if you occupy this place, you don't want to sleep soundly!
Europeans are very claimants, and you have to justifiably find out why the land belongs to you, and then go to war before you can successfully claim it for yourself. It's like you can't just break into someone's house, kick the owner out, and claim it's your house.
The first method is to forge documents, which is similar to forging a deed, but this method has too many flaws and is extremely difficult. After all, if you take a random piece of waste paper and write "I am the rightful owner of XXX territory" on it, it is child's play. At least you have to find the real thing to make a copy, right? This is still because of the backward production technology in medieval Europe, and if it is left to the present, it will not be fun at all.
The second method is to marry, usually to marry the other person's daughter, so that you and the son born to her can inherit the claim from the mother. Of course, if you are lucky enough to have a son and the other party fails to give birth to a son, then you can successfully manage the territory as your son-in-law's share (shēn), and then pass it on to your son.
Of course, if the opponent is in a strong position, you can also take the territory by force by declaring war. For example, the famous Anglo-French Hundred Years' War was because the British king's mother was a French princess, so the British king thought: simply bring the French crown to himself, so as not to be angry with the French king.
(The first king of England was William the Conqueror, yes, the archetypal character of Aegon, originally the Duke of Normandy of France, but with his own strength, he succeeded in becoming the king of England.) For the time that followed, the King of England submitted to the King of France as the Duke of Normandy (shēn) until the Hundred Years' War tore his face.)
There are other methods, but they are usually rare, which is why the structure of the Middle Ages was stable, and there were no large-scale annexation of small states by large vassal states, after all, Catholics were only allowed to marry one wife, and marriages could only be played once a generation. (If you are interested, you can play Crusader Kings 2, you can play the count and then develop from generation to generation, bring a crown or even a crown through various means, and it is not a dream to unify the continent!) )
Thus, Robert (shēn) is the grandson of Princess Lei Lei of House Targaryens, and inherits the claim to the Iron Throne from his father. This is the biggest reason why he was elected as the "leader of the alliance". Westeros has to be right, too!
Seeing the teams of soldiers with bright armor and full of spirit began to embark on the road to King's Landing, Han Xing was full of emotion in his heart, "This war is finally going to reach the ** part!" "After the Battle of the Bell in Shitang Town, Wang's leading army began to turn into decline, and the coalition forces began to gain the upper hand.
The Lannisters in the Westside are still ambiguous, and they are afraid that they will remain neutral, and there is no news of Dorne's reinforcements arriving in King's Landing so far, and the army of the High Court began to hesitate after surrounding Storm's End, and the expected 4 to 3 became 4 to 1.
Robert rode his horse to the front, his face full of smiles, and his heart (qíng) was clearly excellent, "King's Landing!" When I break through King's Landing, I'll be able to rescue Lyanna! Then we will stay together forever, grow old together, and never be separated! The thought of Lyanna makes Robert's face full of soft (qíng).
But Rhaeggar's handsome face resurfaced in front of his eyes, and Robert clenched his fists in hatred, gritted his teeth, and said, "Damn Rhaegar fuck the Dragon Prince!" Clothed beasts, evil dragons! Dragon! Give me back Lyanna! When I catch you, I'll cut your skull with a sledgehammer! Just wait! Robert roared inwardly at the apparition of Rhaegar as he sparked a haughty and contemptuous smile on Rhaeggar's face, as if mocking him.
Robert kicked his feet in anger, and his face turned red. If he had known that Lyanna was now pregnant with Rhaeggar's bones, he wouldn't have been angry! Our poor Duke Robert has already unknowingly covered his head with a shade of green!
Ed is saying goodbye to Catelyn, who has a lot of stomach beatings than before, and is about to give birth. Believing that Ed understood Rhaegar's heart (qíng) best, both had to leave (shēn) his wife to go to the battlefield. However, considering that Ed and Lyanna are brother and sister, I'm afraid that Eddard, the "been" uncle, will never forgive Rhaegar as a bastard.
Due to the serious injuries of Duke Horst Tully, the representative sent by Jon Arryn, the heir of the Vale, Dennis Erin (Shēn), died, and the coalition army was effectively commanded by Robert and Ed, and Han Xing will also join the decision-making level with his relationship with the two and become one of the heads of the army.
The 45,000 men of Hao Hao (dàng) (dàng) were led by three people along the Trident River towards the shallows downstream.
———————————————————————————————————————
At the same time, there was also an army in King's Landing that began to march towards Riverrun City amid the cheers of the people, and his commander was none other than Rhaegar who had rushed back to King's Landing two months earlier, and once again put on the gorgeous black armor that symbolized his share, and once again transformed (shēn) into the "Dragon Prince" who rebuked Fang Xuan, and led the king's army towards the only crossing of the Trident River, the mouth of the Green Fork.
Returning this time, Rhaegar saw his long-lost old father, Aerys, and it seemed that because of Jon Clinton's fiasco, he finally realized the seriousness of the matter (qíng), and his eyes finally had a glimmer of clarity.
As a result, he finally heeded Rhaeggar's advice and decided to write a letter to his former Prime Minister, Tywin Lannister, asking him to join him as an ally in this war. Of course, the main content of the letter was ghostwritten by someone below, but the effect was optimistic, and Tywin Lannister replied that he promised to join the royalist camp.
It stands to reason that at the Harrenhal tournament, his father suspected that he was planning a rebellion, but then he suddenly became a favorite maniac, and even Rhaegar was puzzled by the change in Jon Clinton, whom Rhaegar recommended.
Presumably, it was because of Rhaeggar's decadent life during that year that caused Aerys to stop being suspicious of him and lose his wariness of him! What's more, he has been living a two-person world with Lyanna in the Tower of Elysium since then, being a "good baby", so Aerys's fatherly side began to gain the upper hand.
For Jon Clinton, it was a tragedy, not only did he lose his position as prime minister, but he was also swept to the end, and even the ancestral territory of the Eagle Nest was stripped away. Although Rhaegar tried to argue for him, after all, Jon Clinton still brought back more than half of his troops alive, didn't he?
Unfortunately, Aerys lived up to his nickname as the Mad King, as he only seemed to have recovered his sanity for a short time, not to the extent that he could heed Rhaeggar's advice, and even appointed a pyromancer of the Alchemists' Guild as the new Hand of the King's Landing, and began planting wildfires in King's Landing.
Rhaegar can only hope that he can defeat the rebels in a single battle this time and successfully put down the rebellion! Otherwise, the people of King's Landing will suffer!
