Chapter 163 Return of the Warriors
After the border conflict subsided, the Yat army continued to be stationed for ten days. It was not until after confirming that the Dean family had no abnormal movement, Yat took the army back to the valley and stationed in the open space of the Beiguan Army Fort. 3≠83≠83≠read 3≠books, ↗.o● However, Yat did not demolish the temporary camps built on the border, but asked Simon to repair and strengthen the temporary camps and become a military fort led by the border knights. In the future, the border outposts will be expanded and the peasant soldiers will be stationed here.
The border conflict has made great profits. In addition to combat losses and soldiers' casualties, Yat has surplused 40,000 Finney's "war compensation" and five excellent war horses. The most important thing is that Yat's caravan will be able to successfully intervene in the South China Goods trade and get a share of the pie from this river of gold flowing...
On the day he returned to the valley, a letter of order from the palace was sent to the lord's mansion of Yat by the couriers in the county.
Ling Xin was signed in the name of the Prime Minister of the Palace. In the letter, he rebuked Yat for launching a private war and seizing the court guard knights, and ordered Yat to release the detained court guard knight Dean immediately after receiving the letter.
Yat ignored this letter of letter, because a large stack of letters were delivered along with this letter of letter. In addition to the information sent back by several "Hawkeye" in the north, there was also a private message written by Earl Ballwin to Yat himself.
In a private message, Earl Ballwin praised Yat for the battle on the southern border. Now the struggle between the two forces in the palace is very delicate. Earl Ballwin is relatively weak. Yatt makes the Dean family, who belongs to the camp of Earl Bernard, suffer a loss on the southern border, which makes Ballwin, who has been in a passive heart a little happy.
Earl Ballwin revealed that the court actually had no time to take into account the skit conflict on the southern border. This letter of order was issued by the Prime Minister because of the Prime Minister's affection. Therefore, Yat did not have to pay attention to the Prime Minister's soft letter of order. The victory side should enjoy the due results. Earl Ballwin responded to the court, and Earl Ballwin also secretly signaled that he had already regarded Yat as a confidant.
With Earl Ballwin resisting the pressure from the court, Yat naturally turned a deaf ear to the order to release Dean immediately. He added 10,000 Finney's ransom to Old Dean in the name of the Dean family's disbelief of the Knight's promise, and asked Old Dean to send the ransom and war horses to the Stone Town within five days, otherwise he would increase 5,000 Finney's ransom every other day...
Yat put down two letters and looked at the large stack of newspapers and other documents on the table, looked up and ordered Felix: "Felix, please let the kitchen prepare some delicious food for the messenger in the county, and then take him to Cooper to receive the reward of Bafenny, and tell the messenger that there will be rewards for the letters sent to me in the future. ∟★8∟★8∟★Read∟★Book,.2▲︾”
Felix turned and went out, and Yat picked up the information collected from all over the country and studied it carefully.
Filtering out sporadic news, Yat learned several important things from the information sent back by the "Hawkeye".
First of all, the battle between Provence and Lombardy in the south. In May, when Ate was vigorously fighting the bandits in the county, Provence also launched a large-scale counterattack campaign against the Lombardy army that invaded the country. From Oster at the foot of Mount Carmel in the east to Labusuva in the middle to Valence in the west, all the troops in the central Provence line acted at the same time, pushing the front line for hundreds of miles south in just half a month, recapturing five cities and more than twenty castle fortresses. The city of Aosta in the eastern region was completely exposed to the crisis, and the front line moved to the hilly area between Aosta and Verno. The army of the Duchy of Lombardy entered Provence for two years. How could it be possible to swallow the territory that had been captured with great effort? So Duke Vitote gathered the southern army to plan to go north again.
Although Provence has gained a relatively advantageous situation in recent months, the war has lasted for several years. Provence has neither the financial resources accumulated by the development of Lombardy's trade nor the fertile and prosperous agriculture of Burgundy's land. Therefore, when Lombardy assembled its troops in the south, Proswan sent the palace deputy prime minister to the north to the Burgundy country to request support...
In the north, the battle between the Burgundy and the Duchy of Swabian gained an advantage due to the intervention of the Duchy of Burgundy. In March this year, the Eastern Front Wars, which had been stalemate for a winter and spring, reversed. The Duchy of Burgundy sent three thousand elite soldiers to the eastern border and expelled the Swabian army that invaded the Burgundy. In June, after the Burgundy team retreated, the Duchy of Swabian began to set off the border again, but the border war between the Burgundy and the Duchy of Swabian would not break out on a large scale for the time being, and both sides calmed down.
In July, the Burgundy Palace Court issued an order to the entire Begundy. The palace called on merchants from all over the Begundy to purchase food and supplies from the north to transport them to the south, supporting Provence to resist Lombardy. At the same time, the palace was also preparing to organize troops to send reinforcements to Provence.
The second is the struggle within the court. According to the information provided by Bishop Orlov's religious guard, Sir William, the body of the Marquis Ivreya, the ruler of the Burgundy, was gradually weakening, and the court doctors were already unable to recover from the Marquis' disease. Just when people thought that the Marquis was about to hand over the rule of the Begundy to the Crown Prince, the rumors that "the Crown Prince Robert is not the Marquis' biological son" began to spread, and the Marquis did not comment on this, but there was no follow-up to the Crown Prince...
Just when the country of Bo was rumored to be sensational, in a remote mountainous area southwest of the Principal of Burgundy, Flanderuge, Earl of Longsha, was secretly hosting a group of former relatives and vassals in his territory. The young Earl of Flander, who seemed to be indifferent to the situation in the Burgundy, was actually already turbulent under his appearance.
Yat put down the Chinese book, stroked his forehead with his right hand and analyzed the current situation carefully, trying to find a path that would be best for him in the complex situation.
Now the entire Nanlu Cave is in chaos, and crises and good opportunities coexist in troubled times. Only those who are good at seizing opportunities can rise rapidly. Now they are still very weak. If you want to rise in troubled times, you need to seize all possible opportunities.
It's not the turn of Yat to worry about the struggles in the palace. He is just a tiny chess piece now. The direction of the entire chess game cannot be controlled by him. All he can do is to make himself a chess piece that the powerful and powerful are unwilling to give up easily.
After thinking for a long time, Yat had some preliminary ideas. He asked Felix to call his confidant subordinates to the lord's hall to discuss the next stage of arrangements.
The war had just ended and the entire valley was recuperating, so the officials and officers were still gathering in the valley. After a while, the lord's hall was full of people.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yat stopped talking to Cooper in a low voice, "Everyone, have you been resting for more than ten days, have you recovered?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Okay, I have to work even if I haven't recovered. Calling you here today is to discuss what we'll do next."
"After the border war, we not only received huge ransoms and several excellent war horses, but more importantly, we successfully opened up the trade routes for South China Goods Trade. Once we intervened in South China Goods Trade, we would continue to make money and support our soldiers and expand our strength."
Yat looked at Salter, the caravan manager, and said, "Salter, once the Northland Trade Association will take us as members, you will immediately start to enter the Northland South Carolina market with the caravan. You must establish a stable South Carolina sales channel in the Northland within half a year. If you think the conditions are right, you can fix a batch of South Carolina sales shops in several important cities in the Northland. When the time is ripe in the future, we can set up our own South Carolina store to directly handle the goods carried by the caravan."
"Sir, will the Dean family really let the guilds in the North accept us? Will they make things difficult for us everywhere?" Salter raised his concern.
Yati nodded and said, "Your worries are not redundant. The Dean family will not be willing to let us interfere in the South China trade. But at present they will not make any big moves. They can determine the life and death of our caravan in the north, and we can also hold their southern throat! After this border battle, they have tasted how hard our fists are. I believe they will no longer fight with us easily, because we dare to fight harder than them."
"The adults are right."
Yat looked around and shouted: "I plan to call our caravans, shops and this business road collectively called Continental Commercial Banks. Continental Commercial Banks belong to civil affairs and are temporarily supervised by Salter. Bishop Orlov and Earl Ballwin will also get a piece of the pie. I want to use the profits of the merchants to get us a piece of protection."
"Salter, you guys will discuss how to establish and expand the European trade bank after they go down. In addition, after the caravan stabilizes the southern goods market in the north, I will slowly turn to the south. Now the war in the south is not only the decline of trade, but it is an excellent opportunity for us to enter. I plan to establish a southern caravan within half a year, specifically responsible for purchasing southern freight from the south to hoarding the border outpost area, and then the caravans in the north transport the goods from the border to the north for sale. The Dean family cut off half of my caravan, and I will find a way to go to the south to make up for the remaining half."
"It's an adult, I'll start working on this."
"Don't worry, you should take our steps in the North first and then consider the affairs of the South, not to mention that we have not yet interfered in the qualifications and conditions for southern commerce."
"Yes, sir."
After arranging the caravan, Yat turned his head to the civil affairs managers and said, "Everyone, we have now gained a place in the southern part of the country of Belarus and have achieved temporary peace. I believe that in the future, our Valley Knights Leader, Jushi Town and border outpost areas will not be invaded by foreign enemies. This period is an excellent time for development and growth, so you must do your best to make these places prosperous..."
Just when Yat told the civil affairs managers that he would continue to recruit refugees, cultivate land and grow grain, build Beiguan military forts, build houses, and make weapons and armor in the future, the sentry cavalry team responsible for patrol and training in the valley sent people back to the valley wooden fort.
"Sir, Brother Ron is back, and there is also an exotic warrior with him!"
Yat stood up and said in surprise: "Let's go and welcome our warriors' return."
