Chapter 672: Reply (Part II)
In short, even if Princess Victoria is desperate for all the consequences, she insists on giving the county guard position to others......
In the best case, that guy will also be ignored by most of the nobles in the county, and become a tabula rasa county guard who doesn't listen to orders, in name only.
In the most extreme case, that guy may also give up this position, or take the initiative to defect to Luo Ming, and willingly become a puppet county guard to ensure his own safety.
This is one of the advantages of Luo Ming's division of Van Shee County in advance, this pattern has been preliminarily finalized, and everyone is gradually getting used to the new order, and it is impossible for the princess to change it easily.
Rao is a princess is resourceful, as long as she doesn't tear her face with Luo Ming, then there is no good way to use in this situation.
And now, it's definitely not the time to start fighting.
Not to mention that the princess just accepted Luo Ming's gift and started a war against him, which is a matter of much criticism.
Luo Ming's current strength is not weak at all, only three or four thousand people are sent over, and most of them will be beaten badly by him - the blood flow of Belan's army is proof.
Sending seven or eight thousand people plus at least one great sword master or archmage-level master will have a chance of winning in the past, but the princess can't draw so many people now.
Although Belan's army is a little weak, it is still far from being defeated!
Even if someone suddenly stuffed her with such an army, she could only throw it into the frontal battlefield, and not provoke a "civil war" at such a time.
After all, she personally led her troops to the front line, and the main purpose was to brush up on a wave of prestige and prepare for the succession.
If she takes the lead in provoking a civil war, what will the other nobles think?
At this time, if the front line did not win quickly, it was the fault of "the princess transferred reinforcements"; if the front suffered a setback, it was still the fault of "the princess transferred reinforcements"; only a quick victory that destroyed the withering and decaying could silence everyone's mouths, but this was too difficult.
Anyway, once such a thing happens to relatives and enemies, it will definitely make most of her hard-earned reputation and reputation lose most.
As for after the end of the war...... Luo Ming's rule will become more entrenched, the cost of defeating him will become higher, and it will be difficult for the princess to attack him unless he voluntarily rebels.
Her vassals have been fighting for a long time, and they are all very tired, and they have fought against the invaders before, and now they are going to fight a civil war?
As for the direct army in her own hands, if she loses too much direct military strength on Luo Ming's turtle shell, then she will be even more unable to suppress other careerists in the country.
Press Login one, and then more people pop up...... It's not worth the cost.
It makes no difference to replace the princess with the archduchess. The Grand Duchess is now bent on a safe transition and a smooth succession for the princess, and she will also try her best to avoid provoking such a big dispute.
Of course, this is because Luo Ming did not blatantly deal with the central government of the royal family, and even pretended to be loyal on the surface, and promised to continue to pay taxes and tributes as always.
If he made it clear that he did not obey the orders of the royal family and became completely independent, then even if his territory was not one county but five or six counties, the princess and the grand duchess would decisively suppress him.
As for whether to cobble together an army to kill him and call on the princes of the whole country to crusade against him, or simply negotiate peace with the Belan people, and return to the division first and crush himself with a large army...... If you are Luo Ming herself, you can do it.
Betrayers are often more hateful than enemies.
