Following.

The expeditionary force set off, through the snow in the woods, and on the boardwalk to the northern foothills, where the port of Kirkenes appeared.

The sun is squeezing through the jagged fjords, some peaks are fiery gold, others are still in shadow, but this ice-free harbor is still a firm and deep blue.

With the sound of footsteps, wheels, scabbards and armor, the expeditionary force in formation reached the gate of the port of Kirkenes.

There are already quite a few ordinary Norwegians gathered here.

It was during this time that the missionaries helped them to come and collect the eggs spontaneously. Come and welcome the new owners of the ice-free port.

Beep ——!

With a sharp whistle, the earth trembled slightly, and the phalanx came to a neat and gentle stop.

"This army. It's not the same. ”

The people in the port secretly looked at the people here, and they all felt the difference between the expeditionary force and the Blood Axe King.

The ordinary Norwegians who are the closest, the most intuitive, and the most impactful are even more shocked.

Leaving their homeland and heading north to this place, they thought they had seen a lot of things, but this was the first time they had seen such a military force.

Beep ——!

Another whistle sounded, and the phalanx gave way from the center.

More than a dozen Norwegian horses galloped in, and the warriors on horseback were all dressed in white heavy armor and holding long-handled war scythes, each glittering in the sun, each looking imposing.

Surrounded by the heavy infantry on horseback, Vondolf, dressed in a black cloak, came to these people and cordially offered his condolences.

He also supported the elderly, weak, women and children with concern, and cared about food and clothing hand in hand.

The missionaries who had been preparing for a long time brought hard-boiled eggs and a bowl of steaming porridge, and the trained medical students carefully examined their bodies.

Eating and doing a physical examination, he listened to Feng Daofu say, "Everyone knows that my father-in-law, the Blood Axe King, had an accident. ”

"Without his repression, the port is very chaotic, and everyone is living in dire straits these days."

"Now that I'm here, no one will suffer injustice under my rule!"

The samurai raised the spear flag.

Under the banner raised in the wind, Vondolph's figure seems to carry a kind of power, a power that makes people want to believe and imagine the future for it.

The people were in tears, and they shouted long live.

At the end of the speech, someone curiously asked about the experience of the expeditionary force.

The missionaries told them: "The Holy One, inspired by Io, the God of Gods, has traveled thousands of miles to Scandinavia, and has performed one miracle after another, to bring all the lost lambs of this world back to the arms of the Lord." ”

"We have Norse, we have Norwegians, we have Finns, we have Sámi, we come from the Baltic coast, we come from many clans, and now we are all sons of Io, and we are all high and low."

"Under the leadership of the Sage, we started in the Gulf of Bothnia, galloped through the sea of ice, and penetrated deep into the Salmon River, bringing the gospel to the clans along the way......"

The missionaries slowly tell stories that are like epics.

The aura on Vondolph's body also became more and more dazzling.

News of this place also spread quickly within the port of Kirkenes.

After stopping at the gate for a while, the expeditionary force officially entered.

More ordinary people took to the streets.

They took bread and filled jugs with ale and welcomed the expeditionary force as if they were triumphant warriors.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Feng Daofu stepped on the glow and got the news he wanted.

"Incident: Seizure of Power"

"You've Gained a New Domain"

"Territory: Port Kirkenes"

"Population: 9863 (including floating groups)"

The seizure of power is the first step, and how to rule here is the most important thing.

It's not like the long-established town of North.

Although these nearly 10,000 people have heard many stories of the saints and done a lot of foreshadowing, they have no real feeling.

In essence he was also an airborne leader.

There is a classic problem in management: how to land smoothly in the airborne?

Airborne means unfamiliarity with your teammates.

There will be a relatively long process of understanding and running-in with each other, which is the so-called road to know the horsepower and see the hearts of the people for a long time.

The routine operation is to seek survival first and then talk about development, understand the responsibilities, structure, work tasks, personnel roster, etc. of the new department, and then have one-on-one conversations and exchanges with direct subordinates alone, so as to understand his views on work, way of thinking, personality characteristics, etc., enhance mutual understanding, shorten the distance, eliminate strangeness, increase their affinity, and lay a good foundation for follow-up management.

Once you've gained the trust of your teammates, it's time to find a line of people you can woo.

Whether it is the oldest employee, the most capable employee or the most popular employee, you need to pull a faction first, with the recognition of key people, in order to open up the situation as soon as possible, and the work will be more and more handy.

"So you took out four large dragon ships to win over the old department?"

In the Lord's Mansion, Sluder looked at his unconscious old father and five elder brothers, and finally looked at his husband: "This is too"

"Too extravagant? Don't be sorry, we'll have bigger and better ships, with the oars removed, sailboats propelled purely by the wind, the smallest of which is larger than the largest dragon ship, 100 tons by my definition. ”

The dragon boat is good, excellent sea and river boat, but it is not in his plans.

Feng Dolph rubbed Slude's hair: "I call this the Valkyrie class, and there is one ship that is your name, Slude, I will make your name the Valkyrie that our descendants will sing and praise." ”

Slude pressed his cheek to his palm, very moved, but still raised the bar: "The sail warship can't enter the river, right?" ”

Feng Dolph: "Yes, the draft of the sail warship is deep, and there is no way to enter the river network to do business as easily as the dragon boat. ”

"That's not a problem, because I didn't plan to use the traditional raiding mode anymore."

"Aren't you doing business?"

The black-haired girl blinked her eyes slyly, choked her husband mischievously, and asked, "What is the new model?" ”

Vondolph: "Do you know about the black slaves in Rome?" ”

Sludge nodded.

Hearing Rome, the black-haired lady also looked at her.

Vondolph talked to the mother and daughter: "Many crescent merchants are arresting and selling black slaves, but in fact, the largest slave trade is the Berber kingdom in North Africa, and my model is adapted from them. ”

The unique location of Central and Western Asia has fostered a tradition of commerce.

Black slaves have been a source of slaves for other civilizations since the time of ancient Egypt.

Slave traders in Western Asia were probably the first to industrialize the Mediterranean slave trade, which can be called the triangular trade 1.0.

The European colonizers were the ones who came from behind and expanded the slave trade.

The gap in melanin production between the two is equivalent to the gap between small family workshops and assembly line factories, which is a progress to triangular trade 2.0.

But whether it is a small workshop or a factory, the methods used have been the same for thousands of years.

Start with deals with local tribal leaders and kings who are hungry for profit.

Give a small gift, flash your fist, start an equal conversation, and trade in beautiful goods.

Old cousin, you see that you can't afford to support the eighth aunt's wife, why are you raising so many slaves?

It's better to use the waste materials to exchange for my shiny little beads, and use them to exchange for his one hundred aunt and wife, and make up one hundred and eight auspicious numbers!

These chiefs and kings have a point!

So they sold the captives of the rival tribes in the war, the slaves and prisoners of their own tribes, to the great good-natured people, and obtained a large amount of money, luxuries, and weapons.

Wage the next tribal war, sell for more money, have more treasure slowly, plunder slaves for sale, from the result of waging war, to the reason for waging war.

The war intensified, and there were more and more black slaves.

Of course, there were a few chiefs who were not involved in the slave trade.

Some of them are out of their own conscience, and some of them hate it because they have been slaves themselves.

But these examples of the torrent of the times could not resist other chieftains and kings who relied on the slave trade to strengthen their armed forces.

This is the expulsion of good money from bad money.

There are also piglets in East Asia, and this phenomenon transcends race, skin color, and country.

Evil is never initiated by one party alone, and bloody benefits never belong to one party alone.

Vondolph said: "First of all, build a stronghold along the coast, this is also a show of fist. ”

"You don't need to enter the river, after showing your fist, do business with the local lords along the coast, so that you can avoid the disadvantage that the sail warship can't enter the river, and you can also maximize the effect of your own tonnage advantage."

"Raiding is too inefficient, risky and will make the local rulers hate you, and you will become the target of everyone's crusade and set up more enemies."

"Now do business with them, let them do the things that knock on the bone and suck the marrow, easy, fast money, safe and stable, everyone will welcome you, and there will be a lot of friends."

There's one more thing he didn't say: the ocean speed bonus given by the panel is more beneficial for the sails.

Tonnage + speed has the preconditions for expanding the scale of marine trade.

However, in order to really realize these ideas, shipbuilding alone can be calculated over the years, which can be said to be an ultra-long-term strategy.

Feng Daofu values something else more than the benefits: "Each region can support one or two agents, and when the people's grievances are great, let them shout, saying that their village needs assistance and needs to be saved, and then I will intervene smoothly, fame and fortune are just to the core, and it will not cause strong disgust in the nearby territories." ”

"Taking these as points, papermaking and printing spread cheap scriptures, exerting influence from multiple levels such as thought and life, expanding the area with points, digging up the ideological foundation first, and then talking a little too much."

Vondolph stopped.

Slud was fascinated by what he heard, and subconsciously wanted to raise his eyebrows.

She held back, quietly coquettish: "I still want to listen." ”

The brunette lady pursed her lips as well.

Feng Daofu shook his head: "This is a grand strategy that needs to take years or even decades to promote, and it can't be finished in a few days and nights if it really has to be extended." ”

"Let's take a good inventory of the dowry your father gave you, and I'll talk slowly when I go back, we still have a lot of time."

"By the way, Slud, do you know a lot about ships?"

"Some of the four large dragon ships are my credit."

Slude raised his chin: "I am responsible for the maintenance of the Roman crossbow that my mother married!" ”

An assistant nurse in the ecstasy of the farmer?

Now that the new realm has been unlocked, Vondolph has found a mother and daughter among the members of the court.

"Name: Slude"

"Gender: Female"

"Life: 105"

"Fertility: 120%"

"Attributes: Strength 5, Agility 7, Intelligence 10, Charisma 9"

"Trait—"

"Pretty (Black Straight, Attractiveness +2, Attractiveness +20, Fertility +20%)"

"Smart (Smart Brain, Intelligence +2, General Learning Experience +100%)"

"Drama Essence (Irritable/Quiet Seamless Switching, Increased Stress During Management, General Learning Multiplier +50%)"

"Vitality (+1 Agility, +5 Health, +15% Town Construction Speed)"

"Name: Vipsania"

"Gender: Female"

"Life: 105"

"Fertility: 130%"

"Attributes: Strength 4, Agility 5, Intelligence 12, Charisma 10"

"Trait—"

"Pretty (Black Straight, Attractiveness +2, Attractiveness +20, Fertility +20%)"

"Genius (Genius's Brain, Intelligence +3, General Learning Experience +200%)"

"Suspicious (suspicion is very heavy, pressure is easier to increase, intelligence +1, scheme detection probability +20%)"

"Pureblood (Pure Bloodline, HP +5, Fertility +10%, HP +5, Inbred Defect Penalty -50%)"

"Outstanding Manager (Management Genius, Intelligence +1, Tax +10%, Town Construction Speed +10%)"

Is this a silver card that comes with a gold card?

Now you don't have to worry about the management of the new territory.

But...... Feng Daofu's eyes swept over his mother-in-law's suspiciousness and pure blood, and he closed the panel to find the accountant who counted the Blood Axe King's treasury.

The ship can let it, but the other riches of the Blood Axe King must not let it!

It's all his wife and mother-in-law, and it's his!

Because of the account books provided by Mrs. Blackhair, the accountant has made a simple count of the property.

Feng Daofu took the mother and daughter to do a check.

Converted, it is equivalent to a total of 20 blacksmiths, and it is not a problem to feed a thousand people for several years.

And that's not counting the four longships of the biggest asset.

It is worthy of being a famous pirate leader in history, and he is really rich.

Father-in-law No. 2's blood axe is still a treasure that increases fear.

Although the ballista gun is damaged, it can be repaired.

It's just that Feng Daofu is now using a two-handed sword and a spare long knife, and he doesn't plan to change the axe for the time being, and plans to use it as a collector's item when it is repaired.

The most valuable thing is the looting upgrade.

"Gain the Specialty - Accomplice (There is a certain chance that the bandit unit will join your command)"

This expertise, coupled with the marriage of these mothers and daughters, will not have a problem in the short term of the rule of the new Crown Lord.

Feng Dolph also took out the prestige he had accumulated until now and gave the last insurance.

"Spend 300 prestige to unlock the level 2 boss longhouse (a small increase in popularity, a small amount of control)

"Spend 100 Prestige to unlock a Tier 1 Shipyard (slightly increase the speed of local ship construction, and slightly increase the income from maritime trade)"

"Spend 100 prestige points to unlock a level 1 church (slightly increase the hearts of the people, slightly increase control)"

Feng Dolph also gave Sludde and his mother-in-law a post, and they made the best use of them to work together to control the new Domain.

With the cooperation of the old ministry and the stability of the advanced system of the Io, the expeditionary force had gained a foothold in the port of Kirkenes in just a few days.

At this time, Vondolf summoned Brooke: "The Danes and Swedes are still unwilling?" ”

Brooke nodded: "They are still reluctant to clean the debris wall on Artisan Street, saying that they are worried about someone looting." ”

Feng Dolph: "Randy's condition is that I first find the belongings that I lost that night?" ”

Brooke nodded.

Vondolph smiled.

Team members usually have a wait-and-see attitude towards airborne managers.

It will not actively cooperate, nor will it oppose aggressively, and it is in a period of observation.

They will think: Can you lead us to victory? Can our interests be taken care of? Why should we be our leaders?

Feng Dolph has multiple bonuses, is willing to share resources, and several building buffs greatly shorten the observation time.

You can fast forward to the next step: fight a battle!

Fighting a war is the best team building!

Find a breakthrough, lead everyone to complete a small task, complete a small success, and use a small victory to boost the morale of the army and establish authority as quickly as possible.

The Danes and Swedes miscalculated the acclimatization period of the expeditionary force, thinking that it would be possible to talk about the conditions.

Vondolph wanted them to recognize the reality.

"Assemble, bring the ballista and trebuchet, and call the Blood Axe King's warband, split their brains, and look for them in their skulls!"
