Chapter 11 The Normanland Civil War [2]
Saka Delan is an aristocrat in the southern coastal port of Delan Port. The hereditary territory is 15 kilometers east of Delan Port. There are two mountains, a plain, and several lakes. There are about six or seven villages on it, and there are more than 30,000 people. Among the middle aristocracy in the south, it is relatively It has strength, but for most of the great aristocrats in China, this little thing is simply not enough.
While Saka Delan is a low-key aristocrat, he is also an excellent businessman. In the monthly trade, he can get a lot of price difference from the hands of the great aristocrats. The monthly income of more than 100,000 gold coins is not only one among the Norlanders, but also the top 20 are definitely the best. After all, the Kingdom of Norrand does not have so many millionaires.
However, Saka Delan doesn't seem to have enough money recently, because he has been promoted as the leader of the Southern Chamber of Commerce and the small and medium-sized aristocratic alliance, leading the whole opposition, and has organized troops to fight with the king's army in the past few times. I have to say that this is really a crazy thing.
Just three days ago, a servant seemed to have a little clue, because they had a little communication with the Normans, but the Normans only decided to sell him weapons and equipment. As for the craftsman, he did not provide any.
"The cunning Norman!! Damn beasts!!"
After cursing, he seemed to feel something. Saka tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers. The servant Bassalan lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully, "Sir, the heads of those mercenaries are all here. It's up to you to negotiate."
"Basalan, do you think it's a loss for me to negotiate with a group of lowly mercenary leaders in person?" Saka Delan asked worriedly that he was afraid that those small and medium-sized nobles and businessmen would despise his behavior.
However, now Saka Delan also understands the importance of mastering strength. In particular, everything in the future will be based on the strength of the army. Without the strength of the army, it is nothing. Otherwise, the king's army would be eager to catch them all and kill them all.
"Sir, dear master, you have to go. Think about it, as long as you master the army, you will have the right to speak. Even if someone says something about you for a moment, at that time, you have soldiers and power. Are you afraid of what they will say? As long as you get the king out of power and support a person you can see as king, you will be the king. Isn't it better? Besides, there are so many people coming, they are all elite soldiers and strong generals. I heard that most of them are from Fairland, and they can see the masters. Even the Vikings are coming. You know that the Vikings recognize money but not people. As long as you keep giving money, are you afraid that they won't work hard?
Bassalan said excitedly, and his eyes turned his eyes: "And as long as you can occupy half of the country, you will recruit as a leader and get more than 100,000 or 200,000 people. Anyway, everyone pays together, just like everyone is in power alone in addition to money. What are you afraid of?"
"It's just that the Fairlanders were conquered by the Normans, and the Vikings are unreliable. I heard that Sahili, one of the three giants of the Normans, is the Vikings."
Saka Delan is still more careful. He is not a big aristocrat. The world he has really seen is really limited. At this time, it is just driving ducks on the shelves and having to do what he has to do. If he is anxious and has nothing, it is bad. However, at this time, he didn't care so much. As the saying goes, Saka Delan still knows it.
The Kingdom of Nordland is not a big country, let alone a powerful country. Nowadays, the domestic veterans are killed by the Normans. Most of the new generation of generals are wine bags and rice bags. They are either the second ancestor who eats and waits to die or the paper talkers in the aristocracy. There is no one who can show off.
Moreover, the major lords also have a little idea. His Majesty is not an absolute control of the king, so there are countless people who protect themselves. Most of the great lords secretly said in their hearts: Why should I send troops? When you live and die for a few days, it's not too late for me to take action again. Wait, I will also be a loyal minister at that time. Are you afraid of Mao?
There are many great nobles who play such a good idea, so that His Majesty's order now is only to fart. It's amazing that there are a lot of thieves in the territory. The infiltration of the opposition is very serious, and the split is weak, so he sends all the messengers from the kings.
As for how angry His Majesty is at home, even if the palace is demolished, it has nothing to do with them. There is a copper coin that will be spent on the blade of his own family. What if you are the king? I'm also rich and military now. What are you afraid of?
"Bassalan, so let's meet now?" Saka Delan asked his right-hand man, the housekeeper of the Delan family, this man who has been in the palace for a long time, oh, maybe he can't be called a man?
"Sir, you're so right. It's time to rush there now, isn't it? These mercenary leaders are all eating and drinking in Delan's restaurant. The little ones called a few girls to accompany them. The people who came were all very fierce. The leader was tall, with scars on his face, and they were all scary. They were still a southern Hebrew, that muscle..."
Basalan looked envious. Saka Delan waved his hand and smiled, "Okay, okay, don't you know if you go to see it? You have done a good job in this matter. How many other members of the alliance know about it?
Bassalan quickly smiled flatteringly and then said, "There are not many people who know. They are all the bosses of the master. Several big businessmen on the dock have shown loyalty. These people are those guys who have taken over. It is said that the mercenaries have hoarded their people on the border and can come at any time. Now the Normans clean up some problems in the Riel Dean area. After all, it's not easy to explain that they have killed their king, right? However, listening to the meaning of the saying, in the hands of these people, people and horses are at least this number.
With that, Basalan stretched out three fingers."Thirty thousand people?!! That's too much!"
Saka Delan is happy and sad. Naturally, it is a good thing to have more people. The king's army is now in turmoil, with less than 100,000 people and horses, but the strength of their opposition is weaker. It is a total of 30,000 to 40,000 troops, and the two sides do not dare to fight too much, because some big lords of the great nobles are not stationed. Both sides are afraid of moving, so for the time being, there is peace in Norrand, and none of the three forces dare to move.
Thirty thousand mercenaries are suddenly inserted, which is different. The pattern can be changed at any time.
Now Saka Delan also asks the king to put down more power and reduce more taxes, but if he can't reach an agreement, he can only fight. The extension of politics is war, which is really right.
"Sir, you don't know that these people are all forced by the Normans. The Norman savage king, Tiger House, has never tolerated sand in his eyes. As long as there is an armed force in the country that is not under his control, it will be pacified. The armed forces of some old nobles will be directly destroyed, and the whole manor The surrounding troops are all the king's army. So now, those mercenaries have no way to live. They want to fool around in the Kingdom of Nordland, but they have no way to get along with His Majesty, so they have to find us. We have money."
Bassalan is proud, and Saka Delan is also a little clear. He said to himself: That Tiger House is indeed extremely cruel. People who live in the Norman Kingdom should be extremely painful and poor. It's just that why are those Norman merchant ships so rich? Yes, it must be a merchant ship for personal gain.
It's just that when Saka Delan cursed and laughed at others, he seemed to forget that he was also a person who did this business. He did bad things, but no less than others. What's more, it was really ridiculous for a person who had never been to the Norman kingdom and speculated about the life of other countries.
"Go! Then go and meet these mercenary leaders." Saka Delan stood up in high spirits. As soon as he went out, there were four carriages, accompanied by twenty warriors, and two knights opened the way, which was quite imposing, but it was in Delan Port, the land of his ancestors was a little arrogant. When he came out of here, he was actually not very open.
On the roof of Delan's restaurant, a tall Hebrew is crawling away from an enchanting woman. After leaving a little memory in the woman's body, he patted his stomach comfortably and lay on the low bed with his shirtless upper body. It was made of good silk. What's the smell in the air? All of them are. There is rich food on the table.
The man left and right who had just had fun. Seeing the strong man sit up, he immediately asked, " boss, do you think they will come back to negotiate?"
The strong Hebrew man laughed and said, "What do you think? Nowadays, these opposition troops are less than 40,000, and they have not experienced any battles. Once the king's army reacts and recruits a large army, it can at least launch more than 300,000 people, use people, and kill them. Let's not say anything more. Get a ticket and then leave.
This was said very loudly. In the left and right rooms, the staff heard it clearly, and then several people nodded, looking satisfied with the situation, and said, "There should be no problem. These people should not be Norman spies."
However, the word "spies" will not be written on his face. When the strong Hebrew man stood up, the men on the left and right smiled, as if they had made a successful place.
This Hebrew strong man is one of the leaders of the King Tiger House Guards of the Norman Kingdom, Ahan.
