Chapter 735: Surrounding Situation (1)

Zhang Zhongjun blinked his eyes, he didn't expect that this knight was actually from the Baron Allens' family, so it was no wonder that he would be in charge of signing the contract.

Since the other party is a person of Allens' blood, and he is also a knight, he should have a very good status in Baron Allens's family, and for this neighbor who will definitely expand a lot, and his own territory is still the other party's old territory, it is natural to get closer to him.

Zhang Zhongjun naturally approached the other party, but he didn't know what the other party thought, but he also responded very enthusiastically, and he had only mentioned the matter of the territory before, but now he began to explain it in detail.

"Sir, your realm was formerly known as Bert's Ridge, and now it should be replaced by the Black Hawk Domain, but the name may reappear when you own a second Lorddom. ”

"And the Bert Ridge, as the name suggests, most of them are mountainous and forested, adjacent to the Barony of Allens in the east, and the Barony of Montenegro under the Earldom of the Left Mountain under the Black Iron Kingdom in the west, because there is a Black Mountain Range barrier, so generally speaking, the Baron of Montenegro will not go to this side, and there is no need to worry about the Black Iron Kingdom expanding to this side, but you have to pay attention to the mountain barbarians of the Black Mountain Range coming down the mountain to raid. ”

"And to the south is the noble domain that also belongs to our Barron Kingdom, and the Barony of Orance is connected to the Black Eagle Domain, which is a very arrogant lord, and from time to time it will cross the border and loot, so your defense object is mainly here. ”

"As for the north, it is the port city of Oak, which belongs to the port alliance, and this port alliance is the northern region of Wake Island, and about ninety percent of the port cities along the coast belong to this alliance, because in the port of St. Ho, the largest port city in the north of Wake Island, the first to sign the alliance contract, so it is also called the S. Ho Alliance. ”

"But don't worry about this such a powerful alliance, they are a commercial alliance, with various port cities as the joining unit, in addition to some independent port cities joining, there are also many port cities in the noble realm to join. Besides, their foreign warfare is generally the port city of the Holy Grace Continent on the other side of the sea, and they have no enemy relationship with us land nobles, and many times they need to ask us land nobles to send troops to help. ”

Listening to John Saeki Allens's introduction, Zhang Zhongjun also formed a concept in his mind, which can be clearly distinguished, but Zhang Zhongjun is also strange, you said that it is adjacent to a nobleman who likes to loot and an indigenous mountain range that likes to go down the mountain to rob, and then it is normal to cede this troublesome territory to himself, which is equivalent to making his Black Eagle Territory a barrier for the Barony of Allens.

But he's meowing, the north side is adjacent to a port city, what does a port city represent, that's something that everyone knows well, such a window actually gave himself?

When Zhang Zhongjun came here to prepare for the battle between the two nobles, it was not that he had not surveyed the terrain, and after Baron Allens ceded Bert Mountain to himself, it became a real inland territory, and if you want to contact the seaside city, you have to pass through more than two territories, and it is no longer the port city that you used to directly touch.

Such a person with a slightly normal brain would not give up the geographical advantage, and he actually cut it off so easily for Baron Allens? Just kidding, if it were himself, even if he cut the inner territory, he would not cut the territory adjacent to the port, and he didn't know how much convenience a port would bring!

It is impossible for Baron Allens to think that he can still contact Oak Harbour through his own territory at will, right?

Some people may wonder that he meowed, Lao Tzu is going to cede the territory to others, as long as it is not a defeat cession, or some other reason, this kind of territory cession that recruits mercenaries as remuneration, how can the mercenaries who accept the territory be used as vassals, right? At least although the territory has been cut out, his own power has not changed, and even in the eyes of outsiders, his strength has increased a little, at least the strength of the mercenaries who can be lords is very good.

And directly admit that the other party is an independent lord, he meows, this is equivalent to cutting out his own territory, except for the content required during the original employment period, other benefits can not be obtained, and even in the future, people feel that their strength is strong to fight themselves, and they don't need to bear the charge of betrayal!

In this case, are the Mao nobles still willing to use this kind of territory cession that is recognized as an independent lord of the other party, and are not willing to accept these mercenaries as vassals?

Because the nobles think about a lot of things! In an emergency, such as when Allens was beaten to death by West, he naturally didn't care about it, and when he saw a life-saving straw, he didn't care about Zhang Zhongjun's origin, whether he had offended any awesome character, and the remuneration offered was also the maximum he could give at that time.

Therefore, if you cede the territory as a reward, and ask the other party to be your vassal, not to mention whether the mercenary is happy or not, it is worth thinking twice if the mercenary has big trouble behind it.

And there is another one that is not spoken, but can be understood almost by doing, that is, if you accept mercenaries as vassals, the territory will be really cut out, and there is almost no possibility of recovering the territory, and if the nobles dare to do something to their vassals, then almost all the vassals will rise up and rebel.

And an independent territory without a vassal relationship, hehe, the nobles killed this mercenary with their backhand, that's just the case.

Therefore, one is afraid that the canonized mercenaries will have trouble behind them, and the other is to take back the territory with their backhands, so once the nobles use the territory as a reward to hire mercenaries to do things, then they all let the mercenaries become independent nobles.

Zhang Zhongjun didn't know about this, but he knew that Allens would cede the territory adjacent to the port to himself, and that port would definitely not be as easy as this John Saeki Allens said, there must be trouble in it, otherwise no one would be so stupid as to cede such an important passage level.

But does Zhang Zhongjun need to care? No, Lao Tzu originally had to get rid of this island before he could go back, and almost everyone was his future enemy, so he really didn't need to care who came first to be his enemy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongjun said with a smile: "Let's go, John, now accompany me to my territory, let's talk as we go, I have to familiarize myself with the things in this realm." ”

John Saeki Allens, who was obviously about to leave after handing over the parchment, naturally nodded unexpectedly and said, "Okay, that's exactly what I am responsible for." ”
