Chapter 328: Viscount Jung's Hidden Worries
Jung's words were very unpredictable, and listening to Duck's ears, it was a little difficult to tell whether Jung was really loyal to the Earl of Il, and if so, how could he say such a thing? But if not, how could he think of himself as a small family and not compete with the big family?
Duck didn't understand a little, but a fact was very clear in front of him, that is, Jung controlled a piece of land with 1/3 of the population of the county with the strength of a viscount, and the output of this land was similar to that of the entire county of Piedmont, and this matter would not change because of Jung's ambitions.

After the victory of the war, whether Iltha is voluntary or forced, as long as Jung does not make mistakes, then among Piedmont, Saluzzo and Monferrato, there must be a piece of land that will become Jung's fiefdom, no matter which piece is given to Jung, plus Genaya's commercial ability, at that time, a more indisputable fact will be born naturally, Jung will definitely become the most powerful person among the Dukes of Susa, except for Il.
And such a stark fact is undoubtedly a blessing for those of them who follow Jung's side, no matter what else, as long as there is only one leader in a group, they have a lot less opportunities to be the grass on the wall, and they are naturally less oppressed than the two leaders, and this alone can bring them a lot of benefits every year.
As for who can finally become the king of the Susa region, who will be annihilated in the dust of history, who will really care, even the most loyal nobles who follow Jung and Il, when the Great Xia is about to fall, the most likely thing to do is definitely not to send charcoal in the snow, but to fall into the well.
The result is very cruel, but the reality is so cruel, even more cruel, so Jung will always be listless when dealing with these diplomatic matters, not as high-spirited as when he was fighting, because he does not unite these nobles, it will make the reputation of the Ruger family decline, and Jung does not want his family's thousand-year-old history to break down with him and become an unknown family.
Uniting these nobles will attract the jealousy of Earl Il, which Jung does not want to see, but with the gradual expansion of his power, in another ten years, when Andreas and Leo have grown up, they also need new territories to rule, and at that time, if their strength declines and their reputation declines, then what family's eldest daughter is willing to marry their son?
As a parent, you always want your children to get ahead, although Jung's reason tells him that Andreas and Leo's future should be to assist their brother Jonas, and he exercises Andreas's governing ability and Leo's knightly skills, also because his reason plays a role.
But if you can become a nobleman and own your own land, wouldn't it be better than an administrator, a scholar, or a knight?
And Anna and Claudia, when they grow up, will they marry those viscounts and barons to maintain the alliance, as their aunts did? Jung did not want this, he wanted his little princesses to choose who they wanted to marry, and to be truly happy, instead of hiding in their own rooms and listening to the joyful voices of their husbands and other women outside, as so many aristocratic women did.
He really didn't want to see his children wronged in someone else's home, and to achieve this goal, Jung had to forge ahead, establish his prestige in the Susa region, unite all the people around him who could be united, and strengthen his position, and there was no other way to go.
"Mr. Viscount Jung, what you said is very right, the small family has its own way of living, and the big family also has the difficulties of the big family, controlling such a thing as Genaya, maybe only you can do it, I should believe in your ability even more, Jung, you really gave everyone a big shock this time. ”
Duck replied convincingly, unlike other people who stood on Il's side and stood on Il's side because they hated and were jealous of Jung, Duck could be said to be a real Jung's die-hard loyalist, and in conquering the city of Genaya, he himself once thought deeply at night, if the people sent by Il's were not Jung's father and son, but himself, or any of the Earl's men, could he conquer the city with less than 3,000 troops?
The answer is that there is no possibility, he has thought of countless methods, and has also assumed that some unexpected appearances may weaken Genaya's strength, but even if he racks his brains, he still can't come up with even a way to occupy Genaya.
As for the rapid restoration of the city's prosperity, and the fact that the local citizens would not reject the rule of the nobility, it was not even a way that Duck could imagine, until Jung's process of occupying Genoa was written and sent to Duck, and after an all-nighter, Duck understood how Jung occupied and ruled that place.
And at that moment, Dark's heart, which was still shaking, was instantly shocked by Jung's unparalleled strategic layout and system design, every system can make the entire aristocratic group discuss for ten days and half a month, not to mention Jung's combination punch, which is equivalent to fabricating a political system out of thin air to replace the original oligarchy system, such a genius, how can people do it.
The distance between himself and Jung is simply a rugged road that can never catch up, all he can do is to look at Jung's background and look up to him, this is what Darker thought at the time, without any flattery, completely from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha, Dark, we're all old friends, don't continue to praise me, as I said before, in addition to my own ability, most of all this still depends on you and Il's layout, and I'm just one of the links under Earl Il's strategy, although I have some credit, but it's not as great as you said, as for those systems, hey, temporarily stabilize the situation. ”
Jung listened to the admiration of his old friend, and the more he listened, the more his face couldn't help but turn red, Jung is not a person who can't stand praise, but taking the credit of others is shamelessly praised here, Jung can't do it willingly, not to mention that this credit still belongs to his son, and Jung can't do it.
I pressed down the idea of wanting to confess Jonas in my heart, and I returned Dack's praise very weakly, and the speed of his speech was so fast that it didn't look like Jung should be, and even Dack next to him was frightened, and couldn't help but think that Jung in his impression didn't seem to be a person who couldn't stand praise, not to mention that it was still praised by his own people in private, and he didn't have to worry about being listened to by Il's people, how did he feel that his old friend was very embarrassed, and he wanted to end this matter as soon as possible, and Dack was also very strange to watch。
This made Duck feel that he really played a big role in the capture of Genaya?
Jung saw that Duck fell into deep thought, and thought to himself that if he wanted to tell him what else this old fellow could say, he simply took advantage of Duck's lack of attention, and directly shook off Duck's hand that was holding his sleeve, and pulled the reins tied to the horse's neck with his left hand, and drove the horse down the hill with his crotch, shouting as he went:
"Duck, the smell of meat is wafting up, let's go. “
Before he could finish speaking, Jung had disappeared, leaving only an echo floating among the trees, and when Duck saw this, he said to himself that I had not finished speaking, why did I run away, and chased after him, thinking that when he reached the place of the picnic, he found Jung and continued.
But when he really arrived, when he saw this small piece of gentle mountain, all the people in the dark and green, Duck had not had time to speak, he was pulled off the war horse by a few friends, and poured it into the wine glass, three or four glasses of stomach, and suddenly his soul was out of his body, and the problem originally outlined in his head was thrown out of the clouds in an instant, and he walked to a beautiful girl and danced, and before he was halfway through the dance, he went straight to the surrounding tents, where was he still half distracted to think about Jung.
Jung has been standing in a corner of the gentle slope with a wine glass silently looking at Dack's direction, and when Dack took the girl into the tent, Jung put the wine glass to his lips and drank it, and the people around him were also very knowledgeable, and when they walked to Jung's side, they just said hello to Jung, and then drank the wine themselves and went to other places to catch up, which did not embarrass Jung.
Listening to the light music, looking at the young people dancing on the dance floor next to him, and the faint wheezing sound from the tent, Jung's heart was also in a commotion, he was only in his early thirties, just when a man needed the pillow person the most, the reason why he didn't move was completely because of the power of love, but no matter how great the power of love is, it can't compare to the drive brought by human instinct.
The women here are not ordinary, they are all women who have experienced the test of the wind and moon place, and they can naturally know who is the most powerful person in this field, and they all run in the direction of Jung one by one, and show their most swaying posture and wonderful smile as much as possible, as if hunters who are hunting in the mountains are looking at the prey that is about to enter the trap.
Looking at the women coming and going, they were wearing beautiful dresses, gorgeous hats, their skin was white and shiny, and they were shining with the red leaves around them, and they were carrying all kinds of jewels, which flickered in the light of the torches, and Jung was also fluttering, and quickly shook his head, thinking that if he did something that he shouldn't have done here, not to mention Sandra, even Jonas and Andreas, these little boys, would look down on him.
Being spurned by his own children, this is the last thing Jung wants to see, in the process of growing up himself, his father was with other women, and his mother was depressed, and died very early, and his impression of his father, knowing that today, is not a bad word can describe.
It is because of this very ordinary thing in the eyes of the aristocracy, Jung has never forgiven his father in his life, so when he married Sandra, he swore that he would never betray his wife in his life, at least, at least, he could not let his children hate his father like himself, this is Jung's responsibility as a man, before war, honor, family, and wealth, more importantly, about the family.
Thinking of this, Jung quickly shook off the encirclement and interception of many girls, walked to the place where the war horse was parked, patted the horse that was still grazing and climbed up, and rode the fast horse back to his camp tent, looking at the empty sheepskin house, Jung's brain, the sound of dogs and horses at the picnic party still stayed in his memory.
Lying on the bed, with no one by his side, Jung had never felt so lonely for a moment as he did now, the loneliness made him unable to sleep peacefully, tossing and turning, until the sun in the sky gradually drooped, Jung's eyes were still open, did not close, and finally simply got up from the bed, walked to the desk and picked up a piece of paper and wrote the letter to Sandra, the letter to Jonas, the letter to Andreas, and the letter to Anna, as for Claudia and Leo, it was written in Sandra's letter, and asked his wife to read it to the two little ones who did not know how to read。
Listen to the words that come from the father who misses them, and the words that come from a lonely man who longs for family.
Jung affectionately wrote letters full of longing, and those nobles were already completely drunk and playing, and they didn't notice Jung's departure at all, and continued to dance, music non-stop, and they didn't seem to feel tired until the night lasted 4 hours, and then gradually quieted down, and in the surrounding tents, holding today's Venus slowly fell asleep.
In the military tent of the Earl of Il, unlike the revelry on the gentle slope, there was only the sound of Dzigar standing in front of Il, except for the rustle of the quill pen in Il's hand scratching the paper, which was very quiet and boring.
"Lord Earl, Viscount Jung's momentum is really big. “
Zigal looked at Il, who was seriously writing down the analysis of the war situation, and was very indignant, in his heart, Il was the master of the entire Susa region, but this person named Jung completely subverted the idea in Zigjar's heart, and when he returned to the barracks, the momentum set off was like a monstrous wave, and everyone seemed to be like metal touching a magnet, and was attracted to the past.
In Zigar's opinion, this is simply not taking the earl of Il seriously. (To be continued.) )
