Chapter 0157: Ruby Beach
Although the Duke of Tywin is no longer an official in King's Landing, the Lannisters are still the most powerful ministers in the Seven Kingdoms.
Lord Tywin didn't want to go to war with Baratheon in the Stormlands, Stark in the North, or House Tully in the Riverlands.
Of these three families, Stark and Tully are married, Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark are brothers in life and death.
It's just, the arrow is ready to fly!
Tywin could only congratulate himself on giving birth to a pair of good twins.
Cersei and Jaime nn's thing is a fire, and the flames haven't burned through the wrapped paper yet. This is a feud between the Lannisters and the Baratheon family, and once it is known to the king, it cannot be reconciled. Once revealed by others, the Baratheon forces will enter the palace and drive out the Lannisters.
Jaime pushed Branstark off the remnant of the tower was also a fire, and the fire still hadn't burned through the wrapped paper. This is a feud between the Lannisters and the Starks. Although Bran is not dead, Jaime murders Bran, which is absolutely unacceptable to the Starks.
Sooner or later, two fires burned through the wrapped paper.
Paper cannot contain fire unless the flame is extinguished before it burns through the paper.
But because of time, Cersei and Jaime NN gave birth to three children, and the fire burned so strong that no one could extinguish the flame.
Jaime's murder of Bran, though he failed to kill the child, was a flame that had already caused the murder, and this flame could no longer be extinguished.
A fire that cannot be extinguished will either burn oneself or others, or everyone will burn to death together.
That's better to burn someone to death.
Tywin's daughter married the king, which was a great honor and the most successful marriage of power, and Tywin was already satisfied, and lived in the west for sixteen years, without causing trouble
However, the Seven Gods prevented him from having a quiet time in his old age.
Two flames lit by Cersei and Jaime are blazing, burning brighter and brighter day by day.
In addition to these two flames, there is also an invisible but already burning fierce flame: the depletion of the gold mines of the West, the absolutely non-renewable resources of the gold mines of the Westside Mountains. This is a flame that will burn the millennial foundation of the Lannisters, and it has also been lit and is unstoppable!
The arrows of the West, whether Duke Tywin is willing to fire them or not, have been forced to put on the bowstring by these three flames!
Prince Rhaegar Targaryen lost his life and the reign of the Targaryen dynasty because of a Lyanna Stark, as well as the lives of countless nobles and soldiers. He is a typical heroic short-tempered child, not a qualified and rational politician, and he is not qualified to be an iron-fisted emperor with great talent.
Cersei and Jaime, too, couldn't resist the pleasure between their legs, and ignited the flames that would either destroy the Lannisters of the West, or the Stark of the North and Baratheon in the Stormlands.
It's just that Rhaegar Targaryen has a choice, he made the worst choice to bury his life and the dynasty, but the Lannisters of the West, Duke Tywin can't choose.
He had no choice!
He can only wage insidious schemes, ruthless betrayals, and bloody wars!
Ready to fly, have to send!
More than half a month later. In the Tully Riverlands, on the right side of the famous Green Fork River, on the King's Road, there were groups of golden-robed cavalry of King's Landing, and in the procession, the banner of the Crown Stag of the House of Baratheon flew high.
After the cavalry, there was a huge horse-drawn palace, which was wide and a small palace on the move. The palace is extremely luxuriously decorated, with a dazzling array of jewels and gold accessories, and along the way, the gold and jade accessories strung together by gold and silver threads shake and strike, and the jewels are brilliant and dazzling, and the sound of tinkling is endless.
This huge palace could not be passed through the gates of Winterfell, the Stark family's Northland, and had to be parked in the town outside of Winterfell.
It is also because of this luxurious palace that the speed of the procession is like the walking of ordinary people, not fast, not slow, not fast, not slow.
At the same time, Moshan led his cavalry team to advance from west to east, and the number of the team was not large, thirty people, all of whom were among the first batch of cavalry trained by Moshan himself.
Sweetmouth Raff and the executioner Dunson did a great job of completing the conscription in the dungeons of the major nobles in the West, they worked around the clock, and the planned conscription time for a month, they swept away the leaves like a strong wind, and it was completed in only ten days, the number of new and old cavalry was five hundred and thirteen, and the military orders given by the Duke of Tywin were completed.
After the Magic Mountain took thirty people, the rest of the cavalry was handed over to Sweetmouth Raff and the executioner Dunsen to go to the outlaw training.
After Littlefinger left Cregan and returned to King's Landing, the entire Western Frontier began a major military training. Count Leo of Golden Tooth City, who had previously mocked Gregor for recruiting and training soldiers, and Count Malbran of Brand City, both began to train soldiers intensively. Duke Tywin personally led a battalion of five hundred guards cavalry to inspect the training of the major families.
Throughout the Western Territory, all the major families have invested in high-intensity military training.
And those who are able to recruit more professional soldiers have added professional soldiers under the pressure of Duke Tywin's military orders. The increase in professional soldiers is an increase in the cost of the nobles. Thankfully, however, the Duke of Tywin used wood instead of iron to reclaim the benefits of the decree, and in the case of a large number of felling wood instead of iron products and recovering most of the iron tools of the major families, all kinds of fine armor and weapons were all reduced in price by one-third under the Duke's decree.
Just the price reduction of a sword can't appreciate much benefit, but if you have a thousand swords and a thousand sets of armor, this saves a lot of very considerable money, and the nobles really feel the real benefits.
Moshan didn't care about the price reduction of swords and armor, he only cared about the price of iron ore. The village of Klegon has the best weapon master, Tobmot, and the best blacksmith apprentice, Gendry, and the weapons are no longer purchased from outside, but iron ore is bought to make iron for himself, beat iron embryos, and then make the best weapons.
Demon Mountain led the thirty cavalry to slowly advance along the Red Fork River.
The territory of the Tully family is dominated by the plains, and it is one of the famous granaries of the Seven Kingdoms. One of the granaries is the Tyrells of the Riverlands in the South. The two granaries of the Seven Kingdoms, one is the river land and the other is the river bay land, but they are all good places rich in grain. These two famous granaries have one thing in common: well-developed rivers.
The land where grain grows needs abundant water, and the water in the river is very abundant. Riverland also has a well-known name: the Trident River Basin.
The only crossing on the upper reaches of the Green Fork River near the King's Road: the Twin River City of the Frey family flows southward, almost parallel to the King's Road, and meets the Blue Fork River outside the town of Earl Harroway, as well as the Red Fork River, which originates in the west, and the three major rivers meet to form a large river, and finally flow into the large bay of Crab Bay in Salt Tang Town.
The Green Fork River, the Blue Fork River and the Red Fork River, the three rivers are all in one place, shaped like a trident, so it is named the Trident River Basin. For this reason, the inter-river land is often referred to as the Trident River Basin.
The huge procession of the King and the Prime Minister marched south along the Green Fork River, while the Thirty Cavalry led by Magic Mountain traveled east along the Red Fork River, where they would meet at the crossroads of the Trident River. Not far from the crossing of the Trident River, there is a famous place in the Seven Kingdoms: Ruby Beach.
This is the place where Robert Baratheon and Rhaegar Targaryen each led their armies here sixteen years ago, Robert and Rhaegar had a one-on-one duel here, Robert's hammer hit Prince Rhaegar in the chest, and Prince Rhaeggar's spear almost killed Robert, both of them turned over and fell off their horses at the same time, Robert was seriously injured, and Rhaegar died.
Robert's hammer shattered the ruby decoration of the three-headed dragon coat of arms on the prince's armor, and countless rubies fell into the river with the prince, causing the soldiers to rob the rubies, hence the name Ruby Beach.
The target of the Magic Mountain is to wait for the arrival of the kingdom and his party at Ruby Beach.
Based on the history of the time travel, the Magic Mountain wants to witness a battle between Prince Joffrey Baratheon and Arya Stark, the wild daughter of House Stark, on Ruby Beach.
This battle also kicked off the head-on collision between Eddard Stark and Queen Cersei. Because of this incident, the eldest daughter of the Stark family, Sansa Stark, will be beheaded by Eddard Stark himself.
The Magic Mountain is a butterfly, the butterfly has flapped its wings, will the butterfly effect affect the original story trajectory of Ruby Beach?
Moshan didn't know, he wanted to experience and witness it himself. 11
