There is no point in bickering, whose territory is in charge, no matter how ugly the faces of the nobles of the Northlands are, the army is still stranded outside the city.

In fact, the essence of the conflict is not whether the army stays outside the city, but because of mutual contempt in the bones.

On the surface, the nobles of northern Xinjiang are not accustomed to the hypocrisy of the nobles of southern Xinjiang; The nobles of southern Xinjiang are not accustomed to the arrogance of the nobles of northern Xinjiang as "the lord of the morning sun, the eldest of their own second".

The core is still a conflict of interests of the kingdom. In the eyes of the nobles of Northern Xinjiang, they guarded the frontier against the invasion of orcs, had great military exploits, paid the greatest sacrifice, and deserved to take more benefits.

But the nobles of southern Xinjiang don't see it that way, in all the orc invasions, everyone has participated in the war with the army, and no one has been defeated.

Although the nobles of Northern Xinjiang took on more of the daily defense, everyone did not give compensation, and every year the kingdom would give a large amount of subsidies to the nobles of Northern Xinjiang.

What's more, it is not only them who are responsible for the defense of the northern frontier, but also the 200,000 standing army of the kingdom, which has been stationed in the northern frontier to guard against the invasion of orcs.

This standing army was formed by the nobles of other regions of the kingdom together with people, money, and materials.

In the eyes of the southern aristocracy, the current difficult situation in northern Xinjiang is purely caused by the five major families themselves. Even in the minds of some nobles, the five major families in Northern Xinjiang are the cancer of the kingdom.

Since the establishment of the Alpha Kingdom, the conflict between the north and the south has never stopped. The two sides did not fall out, mainly due to the orcs.

As long as the orcs launch an invasion, the internal contradictions of the kingdom will be minimized in an instant. After the Great Wars, the Alpha Kingdom will be peaceful for decades.

I don't know if it's because the Alpha Kingdom is prosperous, or because of a coincidence. Every time the internal contradictions of the kingdom accumulate to a critical point, a major war breaks out in the northern frontier.

War cannot solve contradictions, but it can solve the people who create them. After the war, all the forces suffered heavy casualties, and they were all busy licking their wounds, so they naturally didn't care about making trouble.

……

At the welcome banquet at the Governor's Palace, everyone was talking and laughing, as if the skirmish at the city gate did not exist at all.

If one observes closely, they will find that the nobility on the field is two distinct circles. There is a wave of local aristocrats, and there is a wave of nobles from northern Xinjiang.

In addition, there are a small number of people who are outside the two circles and seem out of place.

However, this embarrassment did not last long, and after a group of noble ladies and noble ladies entered, they quickly found their place.

These people were neither born into the local nobility nor could fit into the circle of the northern nobility, but the nobility of other regions of the kingdom.

As an outsider, he can survive in the complex situation in northern Xinjiang and make enough military achievements, and he is obviously not an idle person.

Smart people always know how to weigh the pros and cons, and they don't want to get involved in the conflict between the nobles of the northern frontier and the local nobles, so they naturally have to find a way to avoid it.

Compared with the complicated politics, chatting with noble ladies and noble ladies is obviously more pleasing to the eye.

drank wine and enjoyed food, but he couldn't see the protagonist Count Pierce for a long time, which made the nobles of Northern Xinjiang very unhappy.

No matter how bad the mood is, you still have to have a smile on your face. This is the banquet scene, and the aristocratic etiquette cannot be lost.

Seeing the group of partners, a sad face appeared between his eyebrows, and Baron Sith pretended to be arrogant and said, "You all let go of eating, these are all good things."

Your Excellency the Governor, you are very kind!

For example, the wine in this glass is from a royal winery. It is said that each grape used is carefully selected and blended by the hands of the master winemaker.

Because of the limited production capacity, each bottle is worth a lot. If you don't have a certain status, you can't buy it if you want to.

Look at this golden roast rabbit, it is used as a Warcraft snow rabbit, sprinkled with spices, and most of them come from overseas, and the price will definitely not be cheap.

And this caviar, it's a monster......

If it is in our Northland, even if there is a celebration banquet, it must be above the viscount to be eligible to enjoy it, and it is also available in limited quantities.

Now that Your Excellency the Governor has brought it out to entertain us, what are you not satisfied with? ”

Each sentence alone sounds like a compliment, but when put together, it doesn't sound right.

A group of northern Xinjiang nobles who reacted also followed the arrogance and generosity of Count Zampiers, and by the way, they also interspersed the suffering of northern Xinjiang.

In order to allow more people to hear, they also deliberately amplified the sound. The stark contrast was directly in front of everyone.

What a good banquet quickly became unpleasant. made a group of nobles who originally changed their tricks to mock their barbarians and dirt buns directly become speechless.

Refutation?

People are praising Earl Pierce for his generosity, but they can't stand up and deny it, right?

Tout, that's even worse. Knowing that the other party was taking the opportunity to mock, and then echoing it, it was slapping Earl Pierce in the face.

Stirring up trouble and changing the topic, the current occasion is not right! People are guests, and as a host, you have to be a little more tolerant of guests.

"It seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of our Governor! The suffering of northern Xinjiang is clear to all of you present. For the sake of the tranquility of northern Xinjiang, the nobles of our southeastern province have made great efforts.

In particular, after Count Pierce became the governor, the human, material and financial resources we supported the northern Xinjiang every year have reached new highs.

To put it mildly, one-eighth of the 200,000 standing armies of the kingdom stationed in the Northlands are fed by our southeastern provinces.

One eighth of the money and grain that the kingdom supports the nobles of northern Xinjiang every year is provided by our southeastern provinces. It can be said that everyone present is a hero of the tranquility of Northern Xinjiang! ”

As soon as the words of the administrative officer came out, the originally embarrassed local nobles instantly burst into the warmest applause.

This sudden reversal of the situation made Baron Sith very uncomfortable. It's not that he wants to do things, the problem is that he can't help himself.

The nobles of the Northlands who went south seemed to be one, but in fact they were also full of multiple interest groups. Although he is the strongest, it does not mean that everyone will publicly recommend him as the boss.

The name of the Felix family is indeed useful, but it is a pity that he is only the illegitimate son of the Grand Duke of Cavadia, not the son-in-law.

Everyone gave some face on the surface, and that was for the sake of the Grand Duke of Khavadia. Deep down, everyone still despises mostly.

In order to recover the nobles of the Northern Frontier, the Sith must make convincing achievements in order to be able to convince the people.

There are so many big people in Northern Xinjiang, and he is not the only illegitimate child. To be able to get this opportunity to lead a group of noble children south, in addition to the factors of the Grand Duke of Khavadia, the personal ability of the Sith is also the key.

If his own ability was not good, even with the support of the Grand Duke of Khavadia, it would be impossible for him to become a viscount in the northern frontier at a young age.

Ninety-nine percent of his background is his personal effort. Without that one percent of his efforts, his background could only make him a rice borer.

For the sake of this opportunity to go south, he did not hesitate to lower his title. Obviously not for a baron, although in the eyes of the outside world, a fiefdom baron is more valuable than an empty viscount.

It was the Sith plan to create a small conflict and unite a group of northern nobles who went south with the pressure of the local nobles.

It's a pity that the plan is too immature after all, and it has just begun to be implemented, and I met an old fox.

It's all information, and reciprocity is causing trouble, as a political opponent, it would be good if the bigwigs in Northern Xinjiang didn't touch the opponent, how could they emphasize the contribution of their competitors in front of their juniors.

Now that the data is out, it suddenly puts the Sith on the back foot. After all, he is still too young and not thick-skinned enough.

"Sir Antonio, you are right, everyone is a hero of the kingdom. But now that the orcs are ready to move, the next southern invasion may not be far away.

Now there is a hole in the military spending in northern Xinjiang, and in order to raise more military spending, the great Caesar III is so worried that he can't sleep all night. As the nobles of the kingdom, how can we sit idly by?

You don't need to pay too much, as long as you save a little bit of daily expenses, for example: when you hold a banquet, you can lower the specifications a little, and you can add another legion to Northern Xinjiang. ”

It is not an exaggeration, thousands of nobles in the southeastern province save expenses together, and it is indeed not difficult to support a legion.

The passive situation was pulled back, but the Sith was not happy at all. Because Baron Caitley, who had just spoken, was one of his rivals. The better the opponent, the harder it is for him to take the lead in the team.

Everyone is not affiliated with each other, and it seems that the nominal boss is a chicken rib, but in fact, this is related to the future voice in Wright and Wyton counties, as well as the investment strength of the forces behind them.

The factor of Cavadia can only make the nobles attached to the Felix family support the Sith; The nobles who are attached to the other four major families will not buy it easily.

Now anyone who has a little strength at hand wants to compete for the position of team boss. The difference is limited to the fact that some have already taken a stand, while others are still waiting for their moment.

Looking at the age of everyone, you can know that when the children of the nobles go south, in addition to not putting their eggs in one basket, it is more of an experience arranged for them by the forces behind them.

Only the best children will be able to get more resources.
