Chapter 1124: Hylaren in a Dream
In the family castle, the long table was full of sumptuous food, and Fayunna accompanied Quasimotu to meet the nobles of the city, and halfway through the feast, the two returned to their private study on the third floor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Near the coast, the study was full of moisture, Quasimotu opened the window, the sunlight poured in, and he added some wine for Fayunna, before sitting respectfully on the other side, "Your Royal Highness, why haven't you ever received news of the arrival of the Knights of the Birds on the eastern coast before?" Is the kingdom going to do something to the bandits of Helaren? ”
Helalen is Lake Helalen, that is, the Swedes who are active in the north of the city of Kalmar. Although the Swedes invaded eastward a few decades ago and established the Kingdom of Sweden, for a number of reasons, and the fact that the Swedes were under the rule of the Kingdom of Denmark, the people of the Baltic Sea have always called them the Hylaren bandits, not the Kingdom of Sweden. The Swedes belong to the Kingdom of Denmark, but they are still very different from the traditional Danes, and there are deep contradictions. It all has to start from the era of piracy more than 200 years ago, when the people near the Baltic Sea lived in poverty, so many people in order to survive, the birth of pirate myths across Northern Europe, the most famous of which is the Vikings. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the people of various countries formed a Viking fleet, with the support of the Kingdom of Denmark behind them, and the fleet grew stronger and stronger, and finally hit the island of England and plundered countless riches. A few decades ago, however, there was a huge disagreement between people from the Kingdom of Sweden and the Danish crown. The royal family felt that the Viking fleet should be mainly plundered, while the Swedes felt that the greatest value of the fleet was not plunder, but trade, and that plunder was not a long-term solution, and trade could bring long-term benefits. In this case, the two sides went further and further, which eventually led to a split, with the Swedes withdrawing, the Vikings being cut off by a third, and the Vikings vying for power and the rise of Holy Rome, and finally the Vikings completely declining. It can be said that the Swedes were responsible for the collapse of Viking power, so the royal family, as well as many Danish nobles, did not have a good impression of the Swedes from the north.
In recent years, the Swedes have expanded not only to build a small Baltic fleet, but also to trade as far south as the Eastern Roman Empire, as far as the Seljuk-controlled Black Sea Valley. The Swedes traded for grain and iron tools, and civilization developed rapidly, and Rurik, who unified the Slavic tribes and founded Kipros, was born into the Swedish aristocracy. With iron tools and food, and life was secured, the Swedes wanted to develop westward and reopen the North Sea trade, but the western part of the country had always been under the control of the Danish royal family, and the Swedes would not be allowed to take a piece of the pie, so the contradictions between the two sides became deeper and deeper. In recent years, although the Swedes still belong to the Danish crown, they have actually formed an independent kingdom, and the Danish royal family has held several discussions with the Swedes to raise an army to attack Lake Helaren and plunder the Swedes' grain and iron tools.
Because of all the things that have happened before, Quasimotu thinks that it is not unusual for the royal family to do something to the Swedes. As for the Orientals who conquered Kipros, he didn't think much about it, in his opinion, the two sides could not have any intersection across the Baltic Sea, not to mention that the Orientals had always behaved very cautiously and never showed any intention of crossing the Baltic Sea. Fayunna smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that the Quasimotu family also wants to ask for some benefits from the Swedes, but they are destined to be disappointed, and took a shallow sip of wine, Fayunna smiled faintly, "Although the people of Helaren have always had conflicts with us, they are still the people of the kingdom after all, and it is impossible for the kingdom to do anything to them before they make an obvious rebellion." Lord Quasimotu, you have actually overlooked one point, even if the Swedes have a Baltic fleet, they are not much of a threat to us, and on land, the royal army can trap the Swedes firmly near Lake Hylaren. Our real enemies are on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea, and the mysterious empire from the Great East has taken complete control of Kiporos, and they are our worst enemies. The reason why Kalmar City was not informed this time was that he wanted to quietly reach the Baltic Sea, raid Yerinburg, and test the intentions of the Easterners. ”
"Raid on Yellinburg?" Quasimoto frowned, secretly surprised in his heart, is the royal family crazy? He took the initiative to test the Orientals. Quasimotu instinctively felt that this was not a wise move, and he didn't know what the strength of the mysterious Eastern Empire was, but Kipros's strength was still very clear. The Slavs were brave and warlike and had a strong will, and the Swedes tried several times to enter the eastern Baltic region under the name of Rurik, but all of them were defeated by the Slavs, which was not yet a unified Kiporos. If it weren't for the lack of war horses and the lack of shipbuilding among the Slavs, I am afraid that they would have crossed the Baltic Sea and invaded the Kingdom of Denmark. And the Eastern Empire brutally defeated the unified Slavic Empire from the front, angering them, didn't it make trouble for itself? The more Quasimotu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, wasn't King Eric notoriously timid and cautious, how could he dare to take such a big risk this time?
As if sensing the confusion in Quasimoto's mind, Fayuna explained, "Lord Quasimoto, do you think there is something wrong with the king's actions? Hehe, in fact, we all know that the gains and losses of angering the Orientals outweigh the losses, but as long as the risk is controlled to a certain extent, it is still no problem. When we fight Yerinburg, it's not all for the Orientals. Since that old fox of Lothair threw out a piece of bread, let's not eat it for nothing, even if something goes wrong in the back, we can throw the trouble out. ”
Quasimotu was a little confused for a while, and it took him a long time to figure out what Fayuna meant. Gradually, Quasimotu's eyes were a little wrong, and he was shocked with a little admiration, and after a long time, the plan to attack Yellinburg turned out to be instigated by Lothair, no wonder Eric would be so bold. Lothair is the famous old Saxon fox, who has suffered a lot at his hands before, and this time he instigated the Kingdom of Denmark to attack Yellinburg, with the obvious intention of provoking the conflict between the Kingdom of Denmark and the Orientals. Eric was also a scheming man, and while attacking Yelinburg, he was ready to sell Lothair. All of these are calculations, Quasimotu was shocked in his heart, compared to the contest between Lothair and Eric, his own calculations could not be put on the table at all.
"Thank you for your advice, Your Royal Highness, the minister understands, according to the prince's meaning, is it to ask the soldiers and horses of Kalmar City to cooperate with the sneak attack on Yelinburg?" Quasimotu is not a fool, in the past, Yelinburg was occupied by the Skinners, and no one could touch it, and now that the Knights of the Birds are in the lead, if they don't take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, they will really be fools. Fayuna was smiling, and Quasimoto was a smart man.
The Knights of the Flying Birds are planning specific steps to attack Yerinburg, and in Vladimir City, Zhao Yougong is still having a headache about the affairs of the Seventh Battalion. Some things are never imagined if you don't see them with your own eyes, after walking into the Seventh Military Camp, just at first glance, Zhao Yougong was almost frightened by the scene in the barracks, the camp was full of things, not to mention the altars and jars, the camp tents built were also destroyed, and some places were still on fire, and there were soldiers sitting on the ground grinning with their teeth everywhere. The Seventh Military Camp has become this ghost, no matter how good the cultivation is, it will be angry. No matter what the reason, Zhang Bocheng could not escape the blame, as the actual person in charge of the barracks, he actually let such a big thing happen in the battalion, the cavalry of the Ruifeng battalion opened the way, and the soldiers of the seventh battalion all looked at this side weakly, Zhao Yougong hit the horse forward, and roared, "Where is Zhang Bocheng?" Let him hurry up. ”
Zhao Yougong was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, with extraordinary momentum, and the golden dragon flag behind him showed his identity. Those Slavic soldiers and Siberian soldiers didn't know Zhao Yougong, but the veterans of the national army and the Mongols did, so many people were all shocked, and their legs and feet trembled, but they didn't expect a group fight to alarm the regent. On weekdays, I am proud to see the regent, but today, the last thing everyone wants to see is the regent, and looking at his face, no one can please him today. Several commanders hurriedly let the soldiers under their command stand up, and those who were still fighting also consciously separated, and the soldiers of the Ruifeng battalion were not polite, they had Zhao Yougong's direct order, and rushed into the crowd on horseback, as long as they saw those who were still fighting, they directly picked up the handle of the knife and greeted them fiercely. Zhao Yougong turned over and dismounted, looking at the mess under his feet, his heart ached, if it was hit by the enemy, it would be nothing, but a good battalion, but it was ruined like this by his own people, it was really unbearable. After a while, I saw a commotion in front of me, and a burly man led a dozen people to run over in a panic. At this time, Zhang Bocheng's courage was about to tremble, he never dreamed that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent would come to the seventh military camp, so when he heard the news of His Highness's arrival, his first reaction was to find a place to hide.
Seeing Zhao Yougong standing coldly near the camp gate, Zhang Bocheng chuckled in his heart, and fell to his knees, "The last general didn't know that His Highness was coming, and he couldn't greet him from afar, and he still looked at His Highness Haihan." ”
At this time, the surroundings were already full of people, and many soldiers of the 7th Army Battalion were looking at the gate of the camp, although everyone was standing together, they were clearly divided into two camps, the Slavs and the Siberian soldiers stood together, and the veterans of the Dingguo Army and the Mongols stood together, and the people of both camps were waiting for the next reaction. The Slavic soldiers were all puffing out their cheeks and panting, but in their eyes there was a deep concern in them, and the Slavic soldiers were still afraid. The thunderous methods of the regent of the East, they have seen it with their own eyes, they are also from the East, will this regent be partial to those veterans of the Dingguo Army? To say that there is no concern at all is definitely false, after all, the Slavic children are just a group of surrenderers. Gradually, many people have regretted it, why should they fight with others in the first place? The Easterners have conquered Kipros, and it is already commendable that everyone has not become slaves, even if they eat less, it is better than not having to eat at all, right?
Zhao Yougong snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a weird smile, took two steps forward, suddenly raised his legs, and kicked directly in Zhang Bocheng's chest. Zhang Bocheng was defenseless, and he didn't dare to dodge, he kicked in the chest, and the whole person lay on the ground with a bang, Zhao Yougong was so strong, just one kick, kicked Zhang Bocheng and spit blood. The two soldiers of the Ruifeng battalion directly set up Zhang Bocheng and dragged him back in front of Zhao Yougong, looking at Zhang Bocheng who was embarrassed in front of him, Zhao Yougong laughed instead of being angry, "Hey, General Zhang, this king admires you, you should be very clear about the newly formulated military regulations, this king has repeatedly ordered that no matter where the soldiers in the army come from, they must respect each other, respect and love each other, and as a general, they should lead by example." And you, not only did you not obey the military rules, but also allowed your subordinates to make mistakes, this king took the first military camp well, so that you became like this, this king's soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but let their people be half disabled, did you fucking eat the bear's heart leopard gall, or do you think this king dare not touch you? ”
Speaking of anger, Zhao Yougong couldn't help it, raised his hand and slapped it Zhang Bocheng's face. slapped up, and half of Zhang Bocheng's face immediately swelled. A shouting and scolding, a punch and a kick, not only woke up Zhang Bocheng, but also calmed the hearts of the Slavic soldiers, at this moment, those Slavic soldiers finally put their minds at ease, just one punch and a kick, Zhao Yougong won the respect of those Slavic soldiers. One of the Slavic soldiers was already in tears, he knew that the regent really regarded the Slavic children as his own soldiers, and he said that equality in the army was no joke. If in the past, the Slavic children served as soldiers just for a bite to eat, but now, they really regard themselves as soldiers of the Dingguo Army, and all the previous unpleasantness has disappeared.
Feeling the coldness in Zhao Yougong's eyes, Zhang Bocheng was finally afraid, he broke free from the two Ruifeng Battalion soldiers, knelt on the ground again, his shoulders trembled constantly, "Your Highness, the last general knows that he is wrong, beg His Highness to be merciful, spare the last general, and the last general will never dare again." ”
"Now that I know it's wrong, what did I do before?" Zhao Yougong snorted coldly, didn't look at Zhang Bocheng again, and walked directly towards the center of the camp, "Tie up Zhang Bocheng, this king wants to see who dares to take the military regulations seriously." ”
The soldiers of the Ruifeng battalion didn't care what Zhang Bocheng's identity was, Zhao Yougong gave an order, and several soldiers rushed up and directly pressed Zhang Bocheng to the ground and tied him up firmly. A quarter of an hour later, the sun was shining on the campus of the Seventh Military Barracks, the vast school field was crowded with people, and there were more than a dozen military bigwigs standing on the martial arts platform. At this time, not only Xiao Zhiyun and others came to the Seventh Military Camp, but even Gao Chong, Yelusha, Shi Wengong and others also came to the Yanwu platform, the center of the platform, and Zhang Bocheng was tied up strongly. Xiao Zhiyun also had a stinky face, exuding a devouring cold air on her body, and she had a heart to protect Gao Zhong and Zhang Bocheng before, but after seeing the tragic situation of the Seventh Military Camp with her own eyes, that little bit of thought was gone, and all that was left was anger. The reason why Zhang Bocheng has such a big courage is not because of his high favor. I used to know that Gao Pet had a reckless personality, pampered and arrogant, but I didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant, after the military restructuring, he couldn't ignore the military orders that were repeatedly reclaimed, and he was not even willing to do superficial work, if he didn't teach him a lesson this time, he really thought that the Dingguo Army couldn't be transferred without him. Shi Wengong and Gao Zhong got close to each other, looking at Zhao Yougong who was standing in front, Shi Wengong said in a low voice, "General Gao, how did you get it?" His Royal Highness has repeatedly emphasized that discrimination is not allowed in the army, and everyone is treated equally, and the brothers also know that you look down on the Slavs, but don't be so obvious, doesn't this make Your Highness unable to come to the stage? ”
