Chapter 405: Reversal of the Times

"I ordered the Wells Army, the Southern Frontier Garage Army, the Tinets County soldiers and the lords to stop the southern battle plan of Kodor and stand by."

In the barracks of Yat in Beiguan Military Fort, Odo held a military order letter sent from the command tent of the Central Army of the Restoration Army, and his face was full of suspicion, "What? Isn't it possible? Isn't this possible?"

"Yes, sir, everything can be compromised in this world, but the struggle for power can never be compromised. The victory or defeat must be distinguished between the east and west realms by life and death." Angus could not understand the mystery of this letter of command.

Bass and Kazak also nodded repeatedly, "Sir, if we don't fight, we don't need to rush to reorganize and expand the army. If we don't fight, we will be in a great way."

Yat turned his eyes to Robert, who had just returned from Besancon, "Biography of Robert, you have just returned from Besancon, tell me what you think."

Robert has just been promoted to bishop.

After Yat was granted the title of Tignets County, the bishop who was originally guarding Tignets County was transferred to the dean of a monastery in the Diocese of Lucesen. Of course, all this was manipulated by Yat. Although Yat had no grudges with the original Bishop Tinets, and the two had never even met much, this did not prevent Yat from "seizing power".

The church has a strict hierarchy and is divided into priesthood and priesthood. The three major priesthood bishops, priests, and priests are divided into nine levels. From top to bottom, they are the Pope, the Cardinal, the Chief Bishop, the Archbishop, the Provincial Diocese Bishop, the Bishop, the Diocese Priest, the parish priest, and the auxiliary priest. There are also some other lower qualities under the auxiliary sacrificial sacrifice.

There is a certain corresponding relationship between the priesthood and the priesthood.

After Yat was promoted to the Baron of the Frontier, Hamish, the parish priest of the Mubao of the Valley, was promoted to a parish priest by Olov, the bishop of the diocese of Lucesen. The president, who temporarily assumed the church positions in several villages in the Valley, was successfully transformed into a deacon.

After being promoted to the Viscount of the Frontier and being named Tinets, Yat thought about repeatedly deciding to leave the rank of Princess Tinets to Robert, who had always been in the military staff, but the entire church affairs in Tinets would be actually controlled by Hamish.

Robert was not a man who was at ease to be a saint, so he was only interested in the church ranks, and he was happy to give it to Hamish as to manage church affairs.

Robert's original priest was only equivalent to the priest's ruler. However, Att directly jumped from a parish priest to a bishop to a bishop, and the priesthood was promoted from a second-level priest to a first-level bishop. Although he was the lowest level among the priests, Robert was also extremely excited.

Robert is an ambitious man, but he is a smart and wise ambitious man. He knows what he depends on, so he obeys Yat and gives advice.

"Sir, commanders, this time I was ordered to go to Besanson Cathedral to receive promotion and heard a lot of secrets. I believe that these secrets should have been passed to the ears and ears of the Lord who was placed in the northern part of the land, and soon the Lord will receive the news."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Robert with breath and focused their attention. Robert lowered his tone, "I have many church members in Besançon. They told me that in early April, the chief bishop of the Principality of Burgundy sent an archbishop to Thorne. It's no secret."

"Think about it, the chief bishop of the Principality has always had close ties with the Duke. At the critical moment of the dispute over the successors of the east and west of the Belarus Kingdom, the Duke's close friends sent someone to the province of Thorne, and there must be hidden information."

The speculations of several small people in this stone house far south are not wrong, but this matter is almost known to everyone at the Besanson senior management, so there is no "hidden information".

Because just the second week after the "special envoy" of the Principal of Burgundy visited the city of Thorne, the church team entered the east of the province of Thorne and came to the court of Besanson.

The "Entertainment" told Flander and Baldwin about the negotiations with Bernard in Thorne City.

It turned out that Bernard had long learned through secret channels that the root cause of the Duke of Burgundy's secret support for Flanders was that Flanders promised to gain the rule of the state of Begundy and then promoted the free country to return to the Principality of Burgundy, making the Bogundy a Duke of Burgundy directly under the Duchy of Burgundy. In other words, it was to abandon the autonomous region of Burgundy and return to the court of the Principality of the Principality of the Principality of Burgundy.

Bernard was shocked. The old marquis relied on more than ten years of struggle to obtain autonomy in the Burgundy Kingdom, and Fland was willing to sell the old marquis' lifelong efforts and personal interests for the sake of the iron throne.

However, as Bernard's faction lost Besanson in the battle of the East-West Successors and gradually destruction, Bernard's bottom line became lower and lower. Since Flanderken sold his autonomy for the Iron Sea, he could also sell his territory for the Iron Sea.

So when Bernard was defeated, he gave a strong medicine. As long as the prince Robert could sit back to the iron seat, the Burgundy Kingdom was not only willing to return to the priesthood of the Duke and become the direct jurisdiction of the Duke, but also willing to present the most fertile and rich province of Thorne to the Duke as a private property of the royal family.

This was a piece of cooked fat. Bernard was the legal and substantial lord of the province of Thorne. He cut his own meat and gave it to the Duke of Burgundy.

The court of the Principal of Burgundy was in a dilemma, and Bernard not only opened up higher chips, but also the most real and attractive chips.

The so-called return to the clan was just to obtain the right to conscription and taxation and to enthrone the powerful and dismissal. However, in essence, the Burgundy Special Administrative Region was also a legal territory separated by a layer of cotton yarn. However, the meaning of offering private ownership of the royal family was completely different, which would mean giving up all power in the territory.

Bernard traded a quarter of his territory for the rebellion between the Duchy of Burgundy.

Bernard's move is not crazy. Anyway, after Besanson lost his advantage in the West, there are fewer and fewer people supporting the West. If he does not use this move, he will also lose the province of Thorne after the change of ownership in the future. It would be better to cut out the province of Thorne now for the support of the Principal of Burgundy. After defeating Flander, he will have three provinces. This deal is definitely not a loss in terms of the current embarrassment.

In this way, Flander jumped.

Seeing that the winter wheat in Jona and Lucesne provinces were about to be harvested, the offensive in the second phase of the Battle of Successors had been deployed. As long as the grain was harvested into the warehouse and the supply of grain was sufficient, the Restoration Army would launch a final fierce attack on Thorne province and restore the entire territory in one fell swoop.

But at this moment, a "special envoy" broke all plans.

Flander dared to march to the west with great fanfare. The greatest confidence was the secret support of the Principal of Burgundy. Needless to say, the huge amount of food, supplies, weapons and armor assistance in the war, the key was that more than 10,000 troops of the Principal of Burgundy never entered the state of Beth and never interfered with Flander's path to seize power.

Just imagine, if the Principality of Burgundy sent 10,000 troops suddenly coming from the Western and Northern borders, how could the four or five thousand pieces of the Restoration Army cobbled together?

Now Bernard has put forward the attractive conditions, it is hard to say where the Principality of Burgundy is standing.

"So I think the biggest possibility is that Bernard promised the Duke more attractive conditions in exchange for the support of the principality, and our new king had to stop moving and think about countermeasures immediately." After careful consideration of the news he had learned, Robert found out the reason why the Restoration Army suddenly stopped all movements.

After listening to Robert's analysis, a thin layer of sweat suddenly oozed out of Yat's forehead.

Robert's speculation is very reasonable. Now that Bernard's disadvantages are fully demonstrated, people who are about to lose everything have no bottom line or concerns. In this case, he can get any conditions.

On the other hand, Flander is different. He is an ambitious person. He longs for the iron seat and even more for the actual power under the iron seat. Seeing that the fruit of victory has been chewed most of the time, no one wants to spit it out. Flander is now a person wearing shoes. The barefoot spirit at the beginning must have disappeared. He can't try his best to exchange for a Marquis' empty frame.

Flander's difficult situation will also turn into Yater's fatal disaster.

Yat is now firmly tied to Flander's chariot. Once Flander fails, he will not die well. The foundation he has been in business for years and has been exchanged for countless lives.

Looking at the tens of thousands of leaders, thousands of troops and this territory that everyone longed for, Yat was extremely anxious.

This sentiment reached its peak in the next week. The "Hawkeye" placed in Besançon and the "task team" lurking in Thorne successively sent back the news. The bad news they brought back completely confirmed Robert's speculation.

At the end of May, the Principality of Burgundy closed the food transportation route from the northern border through Black Iron Fort to Besançon City. The originally agreed 600,000 pounds of food aid suddenly stopped assembled only 200,000 pounds of 1,000 sets of weapons and armor purchase orders were also terminated indefinitely by 3,000 Burgundy ** teams gathered in the northern border of Besançon, and seemed to be heading south overnight.

The Besanson Palace was frightened several times overnight, and the central command of the Restoration Army was in chaos.

After several days of restlessness, Att gradually recovered his calmness. He understood that no matter how much anxiety there was at this time, it would be useless. The fact that the old forces had turned over and established a new dynasty was unpredictable. At this time, he could do it to believe in Flander's ability and think about his own response strategy as soon as possible.

In early June, Yat began to move.

I did three things to the outside world.

The first thing he ordered the 400,000 pounds of combat-ready food stored in the town of Tignets, Ryan Manor, Southwest Farm, and Wincheston Manor, and hundreds of horse-drawn carriages were recruited from all over the Tinets, together with the chariots of the Wells Legion, to carry the combat-ready food to Besanson. Yat's confidant Odo personally led 150 counties to escort the military ration north.

Of course, the 400,000 pounds of military ration were bought for Flander, but the price was only the purchase cost of the grain plus some transportation costs, and there was almost no profit.

The second thing is that almost 400,000 pounds of grain were shipped to Besançon, 600 sets of weapons and armor purchased from all over the Principality of Provence were also sent to the northern border by the European trading company.

When Flander, the new king on the iron mount of the Besanson court, saw the 400,000 pounds of food and 600 sets of military equipment transported from the remote county of Tignets, he was so moved that he could not speak. At this time, the powerful ministers and nobles who had been with him all day long, either Mingzhe protected him and left him or cursed the enemy for nothing. So far, Yat was the first person to express his loyalty and support to himself with practical actions.

Flander was not short of money, especially after receiving the huge loan from the Holy Corps Vault. So with a wave of his hand, he increased the price of 400,000 pounds of grain supported by Yat by 50%, and all weapons and armor were purchased at high prices. Yat's righteous actions also played a demonstration role. In the following period, lords at all levels from all over the place, all levels of the New Lord faction raised military rations and supplies for the Restoration Army.

At the same time, Flander also responded quickly and looked for a way out in desperate situations.

The third thing, Yat wrote a private message to Flander, which put forward several solutions he could think of. Regardless of whether Flander would adopt it, at least he had worked hard at the critical moment.

Internally, Yat does three things.

The first thing he ordered that after the winter wheat harvest in June, all the taxes in the county would be replaced with food taxes, and all the harvested food would be brought back to the valley reserves. Southwest Farm, Wincheston Manor and Ryan Manor, and the fiefs of Odo Angus, the lords under his command, were also brought back to the valley.

The second thing was that Yat ordered the acceleration of the reorganization of the army and temporarily incorporated the Tignets County soldiers, the Barons of Fort Andermatt and the Sap Fort army into the Wells Army, preparing to deal with the most difficult situation.

The third thing, Yat ordered Felix to recruit soldiers at Sap and send people to Sap Fort to cooperate with Felix to train the army, and then increase the defensive power of Sap Fort.
