234 Shen Hengdou turn 14 (second watch)

Luo Yi's words really came from the bottom of her heart, bringing together many of her insights after crossing over, but even if she was as treacherous and wise as Jiesheng, it was difficult to understand the deep meaning of her words for a while, and she only understood the surface layer, that is, those northerners did a lot of evil, and even the banshees were afraid, this statement Jiesheng also felt very much, after all, he was a native of Neustria, and he had heard more horror stories about northerners than Luo Yi had heard.

"Yes," he agreed with the hostess, "I have heard that although they do not eat human flesh, they will set up pots on the corpses of their enemies to cook and eat after victory!" ”

"What? Using the corpses of the enemy as fuel? ”

"Not really, it's a stone that serves as a pot...... But they also use the corpses of their own people to support the pot! ”

"Kindred?" Luo Yi turned her head, she was not frightened by this, because she knew that the world is so big, some people's burial customs are even buried in the temples of relatives, and the corpses are eaten by close relatives, there is an example of an indigenous person who is employed by Westerners to ask his master for leave, because his brother-in-law died, he wants to rush back to eat his brother-in-law, cannibalism is so natural in some places, so strong in the human touch that industrial society does not have, "Their burial custom is to put a pot on the body of the dead?" ”

"No, they were divided into many tribes, and they fought each other often - there was no king above them - and sometimes it would be the same thing, and the two tribes of the northerners would come out together to rob, and they would come together to rob, and when they ran into new and old grudges, they went to war on the spot. There are such things. ”

"I think we have a king on our heads. But I don't see any difference between the people at the bottom and the people without the king. Luo Yi complained, remembering that she was actually ignoring the king's legal system and begging her mother in private, "They are fighting on our land like this?" Outrageous? The surrounding nobles didn't take the opportunity to fight them? ”

"Some can't fight, some don't want to fight, and some are too late to lead the way for them." Jason snorted, "If it weren't for the fact that they have rebelled again and again, eating inside and out, usually in the fish and meat country." Surrender to the enemy before the battle, and we will not lose so badly - when these northerners first came to Neutria, there were only three boats and a hundred people, and not a single horseman, but one blow was successful, and since then there has been no peace in Neutria! They call for friends, and every year more and more people come, and every year they go deeper and deeper into the interior, to see the weakness of our Neustria. The courage is getting bigger and bigger day by day, first tearing the earth and sealing the marquis, and then I am afraid that I will think about becoming the king, and our princes and nobles of Neustria. All of them can get by, and the former king still has some ideas, but unfortunately the storm that destroyed the MiΓ¨ Navy collapsed later. Now that the king is young, the regent Duke Ulrich is thinking about fighting for power. Why prepare for the war seriously! As for the others, you see it too. If they were to a little woman, they were as fierce as lions, and if they were to the northerners, they were as docile as sheep. ”

"If there is civil strife, you will be beaten." Luo Yi sighed.

"So, when you ascend the throne in the future, you must clean up those silverfish!" Jason scolded, "A bunch of guys who don't have enough to do and more to lose!" Keeping them is a waste of food! ”

"Is that why you are doing everything you can to encourage me to usurp the throne?" Luo Yi asked softly, "Do you think I can change this situation?" ”

"What usurpation...... How ugly it is to usurp the throne, you are the rightful heir to the throne of Neustria...... Well, at least more than the orthodox ...... who now shed half the blood of the northerners"

"Well, the usurpation is too ugly," Luo Yi said with a smile, "I decided to appoint myself." ”

"What?"

"I will be the king of the Neustrians, not the old nobility of the Neustria," Luo Yi said, "and I need neither their legitimacy nor their recognition." ”

"Uh...... It would be better for you to have a relative, so that the opposition will be much smaller," said Jason, scratching his head, "Duke Ulrich is domineering, and many of the native churches and nobles of Neustria are dissatisfied with him, but because of his force, he does not dare to openly oppose it, and your force is not weaker than hisβ€”at least we can stop the northerners!" If you stand up ......"

"If you want something like a family tree, just ask the bishop to write one for me, the nobles here don't know how to read, even if they write blindly, can they recognize it? But I don't need these wall grasses at all! Luo Yi shook his head, "They didn't stand up for Neustria in the past, but now they stand up for a little woman with Neustrian blood?" I don't put my hope in them, and ......," she said, for the simplest reason, "it's a waste to buy them, to buy the interests of a nobleman, you can buy a hundred peasants, and these peasants will fight for me, and will not go to the northerners!" ”

This is a simple arithmetic, and Jason can't object to it for a while after hearing it.

"Our hostess is sure to give Neustria a whole new look! Just like she did before when she gave Tournest a new look! It's just that, according to her meaning, I'm afraid that there will be a fission of blood and fire, many ancient families will be extinct, many local people will be expelled for life, there will be some people, who were in high positions of power yesterday, and tomorrow they will go to the labor camp to smash stones and drink cold water, she really has demonic power......" he thought, "but...... In any case, it can't be worse than sinking like this! Go on like this...... No, if it weren't for the hostess, Turnest would have been ruined long ago, and we wouldn't be here to discuss how to chase down the northerners! ”

He remembered the first clumsy attempt by the Baroness to save Tournest, which would have been a mess for even the most stupid layman, and yet the second time, she had stockpiled many weapons and trained countless soldiers, and these peacetime preparations had relieved Tournest of the siege and saved the prosperous city from being ruined by the fierce infidels, and now, with their morale high, no one dared to stop them all the way, and only sent a part of the light cavalry, He trapped an unprecedented army of northerners, and finally abandoned his armor and fled for his life......

What were the other nobles doing in the meantime?

The Count of Fisher was quarreling with his neighbors over the boundaries of the land, calculating to send his son to the church for the bishopric position; The archbishop is plotting how to kill the two bishops of Turnest; The regent, Duke of Ulrich, is suppressing native Neustrian power; Baron Abram plundered the unfortunate stranded maritime merchants; Count Bag was raiding pilgrims to Tournest......

"Even though she may seem stupid sometimes, she's smarter than everyone else." Jason finally came to this conclusion, "She doesn't see immediate benefits...... Well, although sometimes I get planted in the small ditch in front of me because of this, it is not wrong to follow her. (To be continued......)
