Chapter 235 The Kingsley Family
Secondly, Jacob Jiang Fuliu has a direct relationship with the Yongye Army, an Andean force that has just risen in the Andes Mountains.
Soon all kinds of past news about the Yongye Army were picked up.
For example, the Eternal Night Army raided the Bastille back then, rising with the blood of the slave hunters.
Grand Duke Borg once assembled a large army to conquer, but he didn't even see his face, he was burned to ashes by a big fire, and the whole army fell into chaos.
The entangled transaction between Lord Manyu and the Yongye Army.
The supreme leader of the Eternal Night Army once opened a medical clinic in Solo City, and the outbreak of the slave rebel army has everything to do with it.
Another example is the balance between the nobles of the Man Yu army and the slave rebels.
The news they got came directly from within the Yongye Army, very little.
Most of the news was obtained from the military leader Man Yu, and I don't know how many times the news has passed.
Accuracy, I can only say hehe.
After all, these days, those non-professionals are more careful when describing the news, adding some personal opinions or conjectures that they take for granted, but they swear that they have seen it with their own eyes.
Including the description of Sean's image, it is really varied.
It is said that the image of the Kentana barbarian is three meters tall, three meters in waist circumference, and Kentana barbarian is bigger than the bear Yale.
Some people also say that he is tall and thin, with a hooked nose, gloomy eyes, and a middle-aged image with a white face and beardless face.
Others said that he was extremely handsome, young and rich, and physically strong.
Even if Xiao En, the person involved, was dumbfounded when he heard it, he wondered if it was him who was talking about it.
On the contrary, it is the statement closest to Xiao En's image, but few people believe it, and the reason is even more absurd to the extreme, because it does not have too prominent characteristics, and it does not match the series of major events he led the Yongye Army.
Among them, the contribution of Hawkeye Special Service is indispensable, because a lot of information is consciously disseminated by Hawkeye.
Therefore, the Yongye Army in these reports is far from the real Yongye Army.
Anyone who dares to use this information to target the Yongye Army will probably trap himself in it.
But one thing is certain, the Yongye Army has already entered the eyes of the other big forces in Arshan as an official force, and its weight is not low.
The Kingsley family reacted most violently to the reunion with Jacob Jiang.
However, their attention was not on Jacob Jiang who had just flown back. They had no relationship with Jacob Jiang, and even if they wanted to make up their minds, there was nothing they could do.
Their eyes were on the Swamp of Despair.
There is never a shortage of smart people in this world, especially the Kingsley family, which has a large number of Grand Masters from the Warlock Alliance.
Soon, the Swamp of Despair was linked to the return of the Jacob River. After a series of calculations, the news that made the Kingsley family ecstatic was obtained—the Swamp of Despair will restore the ancient Andes empire old view.
Brother Channing, is what you said true? The news is accurate? Buck asked anxiously, his rosacea seemed to be glistening because of excitement.
Buck Kingsley, the contemporary patriarch of the Kingsley family, the supreme ruler of the Carter army, and the uncle of Laurie, the orthodox heir to the Lancelot royal family, is nicknamed the red-tailed viper.
When the news came that the water level of the Swamp of Despair on the border was constantly dropping, this man, who had never been very happy, laughed wildly for a few minutes in front of people for the first time. , and has been in a state of out-of-control. I don't know how many times this has been repeated.
My lord, this is the result of joint calculations by five academicians. It was because the Jacob River was diverted and a large amount of water was poured into the Jiangnan Plain that it turned into a Swamp of Despair. Now that the Jacob River has flown again, the Swamp of Despair The source of flooding has been cut off, and the water level will drop rapidly in the next few years. Even if there is no way to completely restore the Jiangnan Plain during the ancient Andes Empire, it is conservatively estimated that 50% to 60% will not be a problem.
Grand Maester Channing did not directly answer Duke Buck's question, but repeated the analysis results that had been repeated several times according to the script.
Those who can come out of the Warlock Alliance to serve as Grand Dukes of the Grand Duke's family usually have not low EQ and IQ, and they understand the principle of being wise and protecting themselves, and they will not say anything to death.
Grand Duke Buck did not show any impatience this time, and even enjoyed it a little. Finally, he showed a satisfied smile and said, Don't say it is 50% or 60%, even if it is only 30% or 40%, it is enough. Thank you very much, Grand Master Channing, Please do further verification on this matter, and if you have any special circumstances, you can report to me at any time.
The Kingsley family's thirst for food land is well known in the world.
Whoever is in their position will have this mentality.
He obviously owns nearly half of the world's mineral resources and has the most wealth in the world, but because of food, he has to be held back by others and bought at a price far beyond the normal level.
After tossing around for a long time, most of the profits have to be made into wedding dresses for others, which is very uncomfortable for ordinary people, let alone for a man who is in his prime, ambitious, and only wants to replace the Lancelot family and become the commonwealth of the world. Duke Buck of the Lord.
This was the year when the most precious jewel of the Kingsley family and his most beloved younger sister were forced to marry the cowardly and incompetent heir of the Lancelot family in exchange for a more favorable price of grain. oath.
Over the years, Grand Duke Buck has worked hard to get rid of the current predicament.
For example, it formed an alliance with the Black family of the Huayu Plateau, whose food production is not in the Asia Minor Plain, and wanted to use the food here to impact the high food prices and get rid of the rope that the Lancelot royal family had around their necks.
The Black family was delighted to hear it, and not only accepted it happily, but also sold it in large quantities at an unbelievably low price.
In the end, they gave up halfway, the money was spent, but the food was in vain.
Because the geographical location of the Huayu Plateau is too special, the overall altitude is more than 2,000 meters higher.
There is at least one ancient Jacob River channel between the Andes crater and the outside world. The Huayu Plateau is a rugged and difficult path to the outside, and the food is heavy cargo. It is difficult to get in and out. Weather, what took months to ship back would be a pile of moldy weeds.
Not transporting food for thousands of miles is talking about the current situation.
This is also the reason why the Huayu Plateau and the Asia Minor Plain are both holy lands for production. The latter is in full swing and affects the whole continent, while the former is unknown and only slightly famous for its tranquility and wealth.
No matter how much food there is, it will be useless if it cannot be shipped out, and there is no way to turn it into political influence.
Life naturally has its own way out. People in Huayu Plateau did not let their food rot, but brewed all kinds of fine wine.
During the period of the ancient Andes Empire, the beer of Huayu Plateau was famous all over the world, but there were only a few of them shipped out, and most of them were produced and sold on their own.
Therefore, the number of drunkards in Huayu Plateau is also the highest in the world. If it weren't for the obvious changes in the four seasons here, there would be countless drunkards freezing to death on the streets.
The Black family can only be reduced to a backup option for the Kingsley family, and the bulk still needs to be imported from the Asia Minor Plains.
Before this, Grand Duke Buck had not paid attention to the Swamp of Despair, and even conferred countless pioneer knights on the border along the way, hoping that they could overcome the natural environment and reclaim more fertile land.
But the effect is not good, the flooding of the river is very elusive, and the achievements of several years of hard work can be destroyed overnight.
The aboriginal crocodile tribe in the Swamp of Despair is not a good stubble either, frequently attacking surrounding towns.
In the end, most of the towns established by the pioneer knights were abandoned one after another, and became the strongholds of the crocodile tribe. A small part of them developed not because of farming, but because of the complicated geographical environment and weak legal system.
In other words, there are basically no good people who came here, either rebels, exiles, or their descendants.
This was unexpected by Grand Duke Buck, and now the tail is too big to drop, and it has become a true no-nonsense zone.
As you wish, Your Majesty. Grand Bachelor Channing said respectfully, If there is nothing else, please allow me to take my leave first.
Go. Back in front of the sand table, Grand Duke Buck waved his hand, looking at the red mark on the sand table, his excitement subsided a lot, and he returned to his usual gloomy appearance.
Before that, we must clean up all these annoying moles. Grand Duke Buck murmured to himself.
The mole that Duke Buck was talking about was none other than the slave rebel army who came in from the leader of the Manyu Army.
Although the main force of the slave rebel army was wiped out by the Kingsley family, Patram and Philip, only 40,000 to 50,000 people were actually killed, and the rest fled around. Among them, the Carter army leader was their main direction. .
Not only because the Man Yu Army Commander has been almost ravaged by the slave rebel army, and has no source of troops or supplies, but also because the Carter Army Commander where the Kingsley family is located is dominated by hills and mountains, which is convenient for them to hide and avoid encirclement and suppression.
This time, Man Yu's army leader was relieved, and the Kingsley family was dragged into the swamp of war.
The defeated slave rebel army was even more troublesome than before. Relying on the complex geographical environment, they wandered around and shot a shot to change places. They didn't even know where their next target was, let alone the enemy.
Ake Messer Kingsley, the bandit leader of the Kingsley family, has several times the enemy's military strength, but he has no way to completely wipe them out.
At the beginning they were still rootless duckweeds, chasing them for a period of time might be able to boil them to death.
Unexpectedly, these guys colluded with the local rebels and bandits, and started a vigorous new slave liberation movement. They became more and more violent, and wanted to turn this place into the second Man Yuk leader.
However, the Cartel military leadership is different from the Manyu military leadership.
The food output here is seriously out of proportion to the population. Most of them need to buy imports from the royal family of Lancelot. The means of controlling those miners is super high food prices. If you want to fill your stomach, you have to mine crazily in exchange for food. .
Fortunately, the remnants of the slave rebel army came and went small, but after they developed to a certain scale, food was an unavoidable problem.
Once they gather to attack the granary on a large scale, Ake Meser may not be surprised, but will take the opportunity to deploy heavy troops to encircle them.
Moreover, the death of Grand Duke Borg, the supreme ruler of the Man Yu army, plunged the entire Man Yu army into a whirlpool of power struggles, and only then did the slave rebel army take advantage of the opportunity to grow, and Di Kelong created his own war myth.
However, Carter's army leader is complete and unified. Whether it is Grand Duke Buck or General Ake Messer, they are all powerful characters with a reputation.
At the beginning, General Akemesser may have the defect of not having enough experience in commanding large-scale wars, but after years of entanglement with the defeated slave rebel army, his style of acting has become more and more sophisticated.
In his hands, an unknown number of slave rebel armies have been routed, or have been wiped out, or thrown into mines that never see the light of day.
Grand Duke Buck is a very patient person, as you can tell from his nickname, he is a master who likes to make decisions before taking action. Although he has never been on the battlefield, he knows the truth that hot tofu cannot be eaten in a hurry.
His initial psychological expectation was that Ake Messer could completely eradicate those slave rebels within five years, which would be considered a success.
However, the news that the Swamp of Despair was about to recover made him unable to bear it any longer. For the first time, he took the initiative to write a letter to his half-brother and the most trusted general, Ake Messer Kingsley, who was on the front line. Personal letter.
While expressing his cordial greetings, he also very cryptically proposed that the war must end as soon as possible, and all resistance forces in the Karth military territory should be cleared at any cost, and then the troops should gather in the direction of the Swamp of Despair.
The sentinels belonging to the Kingsley family mobilized all they could mobilize and scattered them towards the Swamp of Despair.
In addition, Archduke Buck also sent a special envoy to visit the rulers of the cartel army and the border of the Desperate Swamp along the way. In addition to the money that the Kingsley family is best at clearing the way, there is also a handwritten letter from Archduke Buck. Signed amnesty decree.
As long as they can lead their town to swear allegiance to the Kingsley family, their dominance will be recognized by the Kingsley family, and the Kingsley family will not be held accountable for the crimes they committed in the Byron League in the past.
In order to obtain a production area of his own, Duke Buck did some unscrupulous means and broke many bottom lines in order to seize the opportunity.
However, the main competitor in the eyes of Grand Duke Buck is not the Eternal Night Army in the Andes Mountains, but other forces of the Byron Alliance.
Among them, the royal family of Lancelot and the Holy See of Saint Ether are the most important.
The former has always used food as a rope to control the Kingsley family, and the last thing they want is for them to get their own production areas.
The latter has been attached to the Byron Alliance like a vine and developed, but as the scale grew to a certain level, some power-hungry people mixed into it, and came up with some crazy and bold ideas-to establish a country where theocracy and kingship are unified .
The premise of wanting to do this is to have a territory that is completely their own. The Asia Minor Plain is not possible. Even the holy land of San Andrea is also the land of the Lancelot royal family, which is permanently leased to the Holy See of Saint Ether for free.
Although Grand Duke Buck held a piece of information about the Eternal Night Army, he did not really regard it as a competitor. Even the matter of Jacob Jiang Fuliu, in his opinion, should be the regent princess Sophie Liya is the leader, and the Yongye Army is at best a vassal following behind.
It is necessary to believe in espionage information, but not all of it. This is his experience in high positions for many years.
After all, the rise of the Eternal Night Army was too short, and it was less than ten years at full count. Any baron family history randomly pulled out from the leader of the Cartel army would have a much longer history than theirs.
How could the Yongye Group Army be any better than the forces established by the barbarians?
I'm afraid it's not just Duke Buck's idea. This is the inferiority of human beings, who will measure everything by what they see.
Now they are like the farmers in the story of the golden hoe and the silver hoe. When they talk about how luxurious the emperor's life in the palace is, what they can think of is the tools they use every day.
How did you know that the Yongye Army had an odd number like Xiao En.
