Chapter 102: The Curtain Opens (2)
The bad situation in the north didn't bring much worry to Wang Xiaotian, on the contrary, he was still a little happy.
"Let's make trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better, and the whole violet should wipe their butts for them!"
Soon Wang Xiaotian straightened up and began to reflect on his dark thoughts. However, it is indeed good for him that this Ofhr is making trouble. Blatantly rebelled, this is to provoke all the nobles of Violet, and when they make a big fuss and attract everyone's attention, then he will have a chance to develop.
......
It would be nice to say that Violet was just a problem in the north, but there was more than a stack of information on Wang Xiaotian's table.
Soon, he picked up another piece of intelligence from the South.
Compared to the rebellion in Northland Ofre, the South was much more low-key. But being low-key does not mean that things are small, on the contrary, in Wang Xiaotian's eyes, things in the south are much greater than those in the north.
The Arnold family and the Garcia family in the south declared war.
Two families with historical heritage declared war, which is a contradiction within the aristocratic system, in fact, many times there are often aristocratic forces to go to war, these things are not uncommon, but it is rare for a big nobleman to openly tear his face in a province.
If it was the era of Violet Peace, then this might be big news.
It's not uncommon for two southern giants to fight. After all, the aristocracy pays attention to decency, no matter what dirty conspiracy and transaction, they have to put on a gorgeous coat, such a rough war, in the eyes of some nobles, is simply a country mud leg move.
Compared with the silent moistening of the Ovre rebellion, the Great War in the South seemed so vigorous.
The Ofr rebellion, in which the rebels fought in small groups, attacked towns and cities in the name of thieves, weakened the local nobles, and then gathered a large army to storm the city in one fell swoop. Their war seems to be so petty that it eats away like wolves chasing sheep.
The main reason is that the Ofre Rebellion was a naked rebellion against the nobles, and in the eyes of the Violet nobles, this is a piece of fat, military merit and land, and the weight of these two things has caused the Ofre Rebellion to become the second most popular in the country after the "Vitan Negotiations".
And the Great War in the South.
The Garcia family's golden spears and the Arnold family's mountain tomahawks were all dispatched. To the west of Dunerke, the two sides had countless soldiers, and the shouts of killing and the roar of weapons were endless, as if they were in an all-out war.
Both in terms of size and the number of soldiers who participated in the battle, the South was completely superior to the North Ofhr.
But the interests of the nobles, the Southern War was at most a fight between two families, and winning or losing had little to do with them. At most, some nobles could earn a little bit of trade economy, but compared with land and military merit, the war in the south was only a small benefit.
"War in the South!"
Wang Xiaotian put down the information in his hand, and his thoughts were flying.
In terms of intelligence, the governor of the south did not know what benefits he had received, but in the face of such a huge war, he actually turned a blind eye, and the governor's army in his hand had been watching the fire from the other side.
After carefully looking at the information in his hand, Wang Xiaotian's black eyes began to rotate constantly, and he didn't know what he was paying attention to.
......
In early May, negotiations between Vitan and Violet began to make initial progress.
The two sides reached several unanimous agreements on the Northland War, that is, the two sides recognized the war as a border friction and denied the injustice of the Vitan War. This almost chilled the hearts of the nobles of the Northlands, since the war of Vitan was not unjust, then, their hatred was not recognized.
Subsequently, the two sides reached another consensus, that is, Vitan's escalation of the situation was wrong, and Vitan was willing to pay compensation accordingly. But the content of the compensation is very painful, Vitan opened the tariffs of several territories on the border, and reached a number of preferential policies for violet merchants.
This seems to be a great joy, some of the eastern logistics aristocracy, the guys who supported logistics in the war, these commercial incentives, from the east to the Marie River valley to reach an open port of Vitan, preliminary estimates, they can earn a lot of trade gold coins in the next few years.
And the nobles of the royal capital also agreed to this clause, after all, they also had their own caravans in private.
Of course, there are some details that are agreed upon.
The nobility of the eastern and southern trades rejoiced, believing that it had been gained. And in order to appease Magnolia and other royal nobles, the Grand Duke Violet began to paint flatbread again.
Some nobles were promoted to titles, and some nobles divided part of their territories.
In this way, the nobles of the royal capital also calmed down some of the grievances in their hearts. The only resentment in their hearts is the northern aristocracy, they have become victims of politics, and all parties seem to ignore the mood of the northerners, and it is already aggrieved to make peace with the enemy Vitan, but they have not reaped the benefits, which is excessive.
But then, two appointments brought the resentment of the northern aristocracy to a climax.
One is to let Princess Diana serve as the lord of Frundy in the north, because during the Northland War, Lord Frundy surrendered to Vitan and was recognized as treason, plus Frundy was almost ravaged by the war, and Diana stabilized the rear during the war and coordinated the war, the royal family decided to let her go to the north as a lord.
This seemingly simple appointment made northerners feel cold.
A princess coming to the Northlands is bound to arrive with a large number of supporters, and once she has gained a foothold in Frundi, with the urine of the royal family, I am afraid that the surrounding empty territories will fall into her pocket.
Plus this princess, Her Royal Highness, has many supporters in her own right.
Behind this princess, there are many supporters in the east, her grandfather is a big nobleman in the east, and the Bolery Magic Academy in the royal capital is inclined to the princess's side.
The eastern and southern parts of the country are inherently unclear, and this princess can be said to be a strong candidate for the next empress.
Let her go to the north, run Frundi well, and then send troops to quell the rebellion of Ofhr, and the princess may be able to rely on the north to ascend to the throne and become the next archduchess.
This is the royal family has made it clear that they want to clean up the mess in the north, and the hearts of these northlanders who remain in Magnolia are cold.
There was no benefit from being put in a negotiation, and now the royal family is clearly planning to integrate the north, which makes the anger of these northern nobles reach the peak.
......
And the second appointment gave the people of the Northland a feeling of sympathy and dead rabbits.
The Grand Duke appointed his son, Wes Pars, as lord of Western Balatan.
The princess went to the north, and the prince came to the west.
The royal family wants to test the two heirs, and by the way, they will bring the northern provinces and the western provinces into the control of the royal family!
Thinking that in addition to his own bad luck, there was also a companion from the west, and the people of the Northland began to feel a little happy in their hearts, and there was actually an unlucky guy who accompanied us.
