Chapter 406: Rude Knight
Coming back from the suburbs, Jonas did not go directly back to his military tent, but first went to Jung's tent, opened the tent and walked in, Jung did not sleep, and there was no surprise when he saw Jonas come in, obviously he had expected his child to come, looked at Jonas, smiled, and said: "Jonas, are you worried about me?"
"How could you, my father, agree so hastily to Mr. Müller's opinion, that there are now our enemies, and if he lets you and Müller go in and arrests you, what will I do with the army you have left behind?
Looking at Jung's relaxed appearance, Jonas was very angry, there were many people just now, plus Jung had already promised Mueller, Jonas was short and not very old, so he naturally had no right to speak, plus in order to take care of Jung's face, he couldn't help but not speak, and now after returning to the barracks, he wanted to have a good chat with Jung, and wanted to find out what his father thought, but he didn't expect Jung to be very relaxed, as if the place he was going to was not the enemy's territory but to go on vacation, and there was even spare time to put the firewood next to him into the fire, which made Jonas very angry。 Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, and he kept thinking about what to do on the way back, but the person concerned is not in a hurry at all, Jonas is naturally not angry, and some not very nice words are also said, Jung is playing with the firewood in the fire while pounding the iron rod in his hand, so that the firewood that has not burned out in it is put back on the surface to burn, and said to Jonas: "Don't worry, nothing will happen." ”
"How do you know that nothing will happen, that Count of Karst tore up his contract with the Duke of Savoy for the sake of his mistress, and even took his knight across the Alps to Savoy and killed his original son-in-law, what credit can such a man have, believe him, my father, where do you get your confidence?"
Jung's casual answer made Jonas even more angry, Jonas didn't know much about Karst, but looking at his actions, Karst in Jonas's eyes is a person who likes to be impulsive and cruel to others, and has been in Piedmont for a long time, and naturally has heard a lot of karst horror stories, so Jonas's impression of Karst's personality is very bad, and Jonass doesn't think it will be very reliable to negotiate with such a person, at least from his point of view, this is completely a very dangerous move, and only a newcomer like Muller will come up with such a nonsensical way to solve the current problem。
At least after studying science, whether it is physics or chemistry, he can invent some siege weapons, physics can be trebuchets, chemistry can at least make some basic explosives, which is undoubtedly the best thing for siege cities, but he studied liberal arts, and he only knows a rough idea of these things, and he knows nothing about the angles, power contrasts, levers, and proportions.
If this is placed in the era of peace, maybe Jonas can still use money to let others develop it, but in the war years, time is pressing, and now let those blacksmiths develop the tools in their hearts, at least it will take a few months to see the finished product, and this time, it is enough for the lords from the outside world to mobilize enough troops to come to the Susa region to rob the wealth, so Jonas's role in it is indeed very small, which is also what annoys Jonas.
Jung's annoyance, Jung can naturally feel it, Jung also knows that Jonas has been in Piedmont for a long time, and has a natural fear of karst, just like many Piedmontese nobles, as long as they see karst, they will have a feeling of wanting to escape, which is why this secret conversation did not allow the nobles on the other two sides to participate, including the reason for the fear problem, and in the judgment of karst, Jung and Jonas have diametrically opposite judgments.
"Jonas, since Karst is willing to go to Savoy for a mistress and kill his son-in-law and offend the backers behind him, what is there he not to give for the sake of his daughter? What's more, if he agrees, the territory of Turin will still be his, and his bloodline will also be integrated into the Allamici family, becoming the most noble bloodline in the entire Susa region, from this point of view, whether it is emotionally or in terms of interests, Mr. Karst will not lose anything, all he needs is to pay homage to Il, and this is only what we need to convince, as for what you think, is it a little too worried?"
Jung put the iron rod in his hand on the ground as he spoke, and put his two hands on the fire to roast it, the weather outside is too cold, only close to the fire source can be a little better, plus tomorrow morning to complete this task, so Jung hopes that he can keep his brain awake, and not be frozen by the cold winter, he went to Turin, not to find death, but for peace, there if he is killed because of the brain crash, Jung will really turn into a lonely ghost。
Jonas was sitting next to Jung at this time, if for Jung, the current Piedmont is very cold in winter, then for Jonas, the current Piedmont is an ice cellar, he is about to freeze when it is cold, close to the heat source, for Jonas, it is not just to keep the brain awake, it can be called to maintain the existence of life.
After listening to what Jung said, although it sounds very reasonable, Jonas is still a little uneasy in his heart, the current Karst is very strong, he is the strongest of all the knights Jonas has met so far, and it is very difficult to defeat him, that is to say, even if Karst does not marry Il, it is very likely to persevere, which is very fundamentally different from the irretrievable death of Magad, that is, Karst has his own choice, not only one way to go, in this case, sending his important ministers over to negotiate, Jonas also feels that something is wrong。
Jonas said these words to Jung, to Jonas's expectation, Jung smiled, which was completely opposite to the solemnity of Jonas's original conjecture, looking at Jonas's puzzled eyes, Jung shook his head with a smile and said: " Jonas, although the Knights of the Order are much stronger than us ordinary knights, they are not as powerful as you think, one fight five, maybe we will fail, but if one fights twenty, there is enough room for maneuver to trap the karst, and lose the karst, in the comparison of basic military strength, we have an overwhelming advantage, they are just a group of citizens of Turin City and the surrounding peasants composed of a ragtag army, if it were not for the prestige of the karst and the walls of Turin, they would have been annihilated by our warriors, so the gap between us is actually very large, not what you thinkIt's just a little bit. ”
"Moreover, the strength of the Earl of Il is not as weak as you think, recently through my observation, no, it should be said that many nobles have observed, Il's special force, but all of them are knights, my spies once told me that there are more than two hundred knights in it, which is almost half of all the knights of Saluzo, with such a powerful force, we want to conquer Karst, it is just a difference between the price and the small, there is no third way for Karst, he only has destruction and cooperation, this is the reason why I am willing to promise Mueller, although it is dangerous, but this danger is not bigAs long as you can use your own advantages, plus some linguistic arts, the possibility of success is great. ”
Jung carefully analyzed the reasons why he agreed to Jonas, for Jung, Jonas is his most important eldest son, and the heir of the future Ruger family***** Only by mastering these two items can he be regarded as a qualified nobleman, and Jonas happens to be very weak in these two items, which makes Jung very worried, as for the strength of other aspects, it is naturally selectively ignored by Jung, in his opinion, those things are the icing on the cake, and force and politics are charcoal in the fire, just like in this winter, if there is no charcoal, even if there is meat and vegetables, what can be done? can only starve to death.
Therefore, Jung wants to cultivate Jonas in this aspect, so that he not only has those little cleverness, but also can form a systematic judgment on these issues, rather than relying on his own life experience and making judgments based on feelings, at this time, Il is obviously the goal that Jung hopes Jonas can become.
Getting used to being cold is indeed a very uncomfortable thing for children, but for the lord, it is a necessary lesson, everything that can be solved with the most simple and crude methods, it will be solved as soon as possible, and hesitation will only worsen the situation, this is what Jung hopes Jonas can do, which also makes him intentionally or unintentionally add some elements of this kind of thinking to the conversation, hoping to influence the change to Jonas, but these words are very obscure, Jung is also afraid that Jonas will not be used to thinking without feelings, Jonas didn't hear it too much, but he just felt that Jung's words were also somewhat reasonable, The most important thing is that the more than 200 knights in Jung's words made Jonas a little shocked, looking at Jung, he didn't care too much about whether there was any deep meaning in what he said, looked at Jung and said:
"More than two hundred knights?!, my God, where did so many knights come from, does the Earl of Il have some secret that can be made quickly?" Jonas said in surprise, he only has twelve knights for a viscount, even if the earl is powerful, it is extremely powerful to have fifty, and this Il has twelve knights quietly, which really makes Jonas very flustered.
Jung also didn't understand this, when he first knew, it was basically the same as Jonas's reaction, knights are not born through training, he is not like an infantry or a pikeman, as long as he is trained, he can become a qualified soldier, in addition to talent and luck, as well as blood, is also the key factor in whether he can become a knight, in the human race, the nobles or the father is a knight's family, the next generation will be more likely to become a knight, and the probability of knights among ordinary civilians is very low, which is why in this era, feudal rule can be so tenacious, it is because the upper echelons have the tools that can easily kill the lower levels, knights.
And the Earl of Il seems to have so many knights, and most of these knights Jung does not know, and has not seen them before, you must know that although the knights are not real nobles, they also belong to a member of the ruling class, and their status is not low.
This aroused Jung's strong suspicion, because it completely violated the rules that knights should be produced, which aroused Jung's interest, and in the next two days, Jung spent a lot of time investigating, and in the process, he also saw many people like him investigating this knight team that was placed far away from the barracks by Il, after Jung's investigation, the knights in this knight team are very different from ordinary knights.
One of them is that they are very irritable, even absolutely manic, outside the entire camp, there are a lot of smashed stones and wood, and in the camp, every once in a while, a bloody female corpse will be dragged out, this is not what ordinary knights will do, orthodox knights like Jung have very serious ethics about their own morality, orthodox knights like them will never do such shameless, In the subsequent observations, these states that do not conform to the supposed state of knights were also observed by Jung and others, such as they are illiterate, they can't dance, they don't have any appreciation for art, they are even directly illiterate, and their use of their own powers is very crude, not at all like knights who have trained real knights
What's even more exaggerated is that Jung even saw many people practicing how to ride horses in the dark!
The knight doesn't know how to ride a horse, what a ridiculous thing, maybe Il also knows that this thing is ridiculous, so he chose the night when he practiced, but Il didn't expect that the curiosity of these nobles would be so strong, even at night, they didn't let go of the possibility of watching, and this matter was seen by them.
This undoubtedly made everyone have great doubts about the origin of this knight corps, where did Il get such a group of knights without any quality? This matter is placed on the desk of every doubtful nobleman, and naturally it is also placed in front of Jung, and now Jonas asks, Jung doesn't have much ideas, it just so happens that Jonas has a lot of ghost ideas, so he said these words, wanting to see what Jonas can think, to explain the origin of these knights.
