183 Quelling the rebellion

Ji Na was in a very uncomfortable mood, but she didn't expect Duke to say such a sentence, just like a beam of vision projected on the gloomy sky, and she felt much better in an instant.

"That's right, you still owe me 5,000 gold coins, and you said that you would double it back to me at the beginning, but now you have to pay me back 10,000 gold coins, right?"

"No problem, but it's not now, and I'll owe it for a while, because I don't have any money right now. ”

Duke's words are really not a joke, the financial funds of Storm Castle are already insufficient, and the gold coins he brought with him on this expedition were basically given to the commercial officer Andy, so he opened a shop in Andorra City, so he really couldn't get 10,000 gold coins.

Hearing Duke's words, Gina felt a little speechless, is this here to pay off the debt?

However, Gina didn't want Duke to pay off the debt now, and the more important thing in front of her was to completely put this group of defeated soldiers in order.

With the retreat of the Marseille army, the storm army completely surrounded the barracks this time, although compared to the 4,000-strong rebels, the 1,000-man storm army seemed a bit thin, but this group of rebels were frightened, and no one dared to resist.

This time, Princess Jina finally let go of mercy and mercy, and she understood that the reason why this group of routs would go to the step of rebellion was not unrelated to her own connivance. If they had used thunder to kill some of the black sheep Liwei when they were gathering the rout, they might not have had a chance to unite and rebel.

The four words of Ci Bu are things that a commander must learn, especially in the face of rebels who are in trouble. So Princess Gina ordered the royal knights to work with the Storm Army to find the main leaders of the rebellion from among the rebels, hold a public trial, and then execute them.

For a while, hundreds of heads fell to the ground, and the blind streams and gangsters inside were swept away, plus the border knights who were killed by the Storm Knight before, this rebellion caused nearly a thousand deaths.

After this rectification, the entire Frontier Knights were basically dismissed, after all, they were also temporarily recruited. And the eleventh legion of the empire was reduced to the size of two thousand five hundred people. Although the number is less than a few hundred, these people are some relatively honest warriors, and even some of them have fought with Princess Gina in the Spartan army.

It's just that the bad money drove out the good money before, and some soldiers who were still loyal to Princess Jina were united by the border knights to suppress and exclude them. Because knights are nobles, for some loyal civilian soldiers is a class gap that cannot be resisted, and now that these soldiers can finally come out, many of them have been resigned to the rank and file officers, Princess Gina began to truly take full control of the Eleventh Legion.

After the rectification of the Eleventh Legion, a day has passed, and Duke has also learned from Princess Gina about the inducing factors of the rebellion. At that time, Duke clamored to find a place for Gina, but after learning that Marseille City had 2,000 standing guards and 5,000 city guards, Duke thought for a while that he should solve the problem in a peaceful way such as negotiation, after all, it is not good to hurt some flowers and plants with knives and guns.

However, the result of the negotiation is still not optimistic, and it can even be said that Count Bute didn't want to talk at all, and directly rejected Princess Jina's request, it seems that Count Bute is determined to drive out the Imperial Eleventh Legion led by Jina.

At the same time, according to the royal knights, since the arrival of the Storm Army, the number of Marseille sentinels near the barracks has increased significantly. It seems that the well-equipped Storm Army has entered the barracks, which has made the Marseille lords even more jealous of the imperial side, and there is basically no need to think about supplies.

"Damn, this Marseille lord is a bit arrogant, if the supply problem is not solved, how can the Eleventh Legion continue to be stationed?"

Duke said with an indignant face, now the Eleventh Legion is now relying on the supply of the Storm Army. But the problem is that the Storm Army itself doesn't have much left, and if it weren't for the development of new carriages and a large increase in carrying capacity, both armies might have to wait for hunger.

But he was also helpless, this was the rule of the Middle Ages, and the lord could have been treated as an independent small kingdom. Seriously, Duke himself is also a beneficiary of this kind of rule, if it were placed in the feudal period of China, it is estimated that his actions would have been exposed long ago and beheaded according to the rebellion.

"Before you arrived, I had already written to inform my father and eldest brother that they should be coming with reinforcements soon. Maybe the Eleventh Legion will also be handed over to my eldest brother, and now I can relax. ”

Although Jina said this, Duke could feel that this was not the case in her heart, because this time the leader of the army was an opportunity to prove herself, but in this situation, it was almost equivalent to letting Emperor Fran clean up the mess, which was a failure for Jina herself.

It's just that as Gina said, in this situation, letting Prince Edward take over the Eleventh Legion is the best way to deal with it.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Duke, I asked Adams to bring you a message before, the spring enrollment of the Royal Martial Arts Academy is about to end, and you won't be able to enter even with my relationship at that time, what are you thinking about now?"

Hearing Ji Na suddenly ask this question, Duke felt a headache, he had never been interested in going to the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy. I've been reading books for more than 20 years in my last life, and I'm finally getting out of ease, and I have to go back to study again in this life?

Another point is, what level is you, don't you have a little pressure in your heart? When you enter the Imperial Martial Arts Study, almost all of them recruit martial arts genius students within the scope of the French Empire, and the requirements are very strict, and you didn't get into it as the duke's son at the beginning. Although Duke's age is only eighteen after being reborn in this world, his mental age is already old arms and legs, and he is afraid that he will be hung and beaten if he goes in.

The spirit implemented by Duke is that heads-up is to find a master to pick, and the strength of the master is not enough, so the group fights in the past, anyway, how to win. What chivalry, aristocratic duel etiquette, is absent in Duke.

It's just that after all, this is Princess Jina's hard work and kindness, and Jina also explained the reason behind it, entering the martial arts academy is not to learn how strong martial arts are, but more of a kind of network cultivation of the imperial aristocracy.

Of course, these two points alone can't convince Duke to go to any dance academy, he is destined to be different from this era, and these so-called aristocratic connections may eventually become enemies.

However, Duke is interested in going to the Imperial Capital, and if the Storm Trading Company wants to make a lot of money and truly become the cash cow of Storm Castle, then the development of the Imperial Capital is not to be missed. Because the cities of this world are not like modern society, large cities with a population of one million abound, and the only large city with a population of more than one million in the French Empire is the capital of the French Empire. Half of the empire's consumer market is almost concentrated here, and the imperial capital is a stronghold that the Storm Trading House must take.
