The former Weiting family was a giant as famous as the Figuerra family, the lord of the West. Together with the Figuerra family, they were included among the twelve nobles of Lionheart Castle.
It can be said that they are standing at the pinnacle of power, but they are still not satisfied and want more. They actually peeked at the beast crown of the Vespasian family.
The Wetting family spent a long time planning and preparing, secretly summoned a group of dead soldiers, and bribed people around Edward II to launch a palace coup. They thought they were foolproof, but unexpectedly, the news leaked out the day before the incident.
The family members who stayed in the royal capital were all captured by the Royal Forest Army.
When the news came back to Crab Legs, Hilda, the head of the Weiting family, hurriedly raised an army and raised an army of 30,000 people in just ten days.
However, the composition of this army is very complicated. In addition to the members of the Weiting family, there are also some vassals who were summoned, dozens of mercenary groups, slave armies, and even pirates.
Even many vassals of the Wei Ting family did not think highly of this chaotic army and were unwilling to fight side by side with those mercenary pirates.
Hilda had no choice but to divide her troops into two groups, leaving the vassals and the family's own troops to her eldest son to go first, while she stayed behind to continue to rectify the remaining people.
As a result, before Hilda could organize her team, news came from the other side that her eldest son had been defeated and captured.
After only five days there, Hilda knew that the situation was over, so she stopped making unnecessary resistance, paid some money to send the remaining people away, and took the initiative to open the city and surrender.
Including the time Hilda spent recruiting people, the rebellion only lasted for a short fifteen days. It looked more like a farce, but the consequences were serious.
His Majesty the Emperor was furious. Except for the women who had married into the royal family and other families, almost all the members of the Weiting family were wiped out, and even some side branches were not spared.
However, after Edward II chopped off the heads of Hilda and more than 40 other people involved, his anger probably subsided a lot. In addition, many people came to beg for mercy during the period, and he finally calmed down.
He didn't continue to kill anyone, but he didn't say what to do with the remaining people. He was just thrown into the dungeon and imprisoned for five full years.
It was not until recently that the dungeon was not enough, and His Majesty the Emperor remembered the remnants of the Weiting family again, and ordered them to be deprived of all their noble titles and properties, and to be exiled to the Western Region to fend for themselves.
It is said that more than a thousand members of the Weiting family were imprisoned and had to be detained separately. Not only were the dungeons in the royal capital filled up, but there was no room for newly arrested prisoners in several nearby cities, and they even had to build new ones.
New dungeon.
Among these people, only less than 120 people survived and successfully reached the Western Territory.
These more than 100 people have also become a hot potato.
After all, the Weiting family was involved in a rebellion, and this kind of thing has always been the most feared by the royal family. Even if the masterminds have been killed, the remaining people will not be able to get away with it so easily.
Anyone who leaves such a group of rebels in their own territory is guaranteed to make His Majesty the Emperor unhappy. Moreover, the nobles in the Western Region are not sure how to treat these remnants of the Weiting family.
After all, the other party was once the top wealthy family in the empire, and even now, many nobles, including the royal family, are still related to the Wetting family. This is why Edward II did not kill it and eradicate it.
But if these guys live a good life, who knows if the emperor will be unhappy again.
So how to place these people becomes a problem.
Ilea refused at first, but she couldn't stand it and it was already time to harvest the summer crops.
Forget it, the lizard people had killed a lot of people and destroyed a lot of crop fields before, so there are still enough people in the territory to harvest crops. But in more than a month, it will be time to start plowing the winter fields.
If wheat and rye cannot be planted in those empty fields in September, the production will definitely be reduced again in June next year. This is all money.
After getting the news about the refugees, Miss Rabbit struggled for several days and discussed it with Fausto and others many times.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that if we don’t want these people from the Weiting family, then if we want to recruit freedmen through normal means, the most optimistic estimate is that we will only be able to recruit a few dozen people by September, which is far from enough.
previous losses.
So the girl finally made the decision, "Yes, why not? Since His Majesty the Emperor dares to send people here, there is nothing we dare not accept."
"But what these people committed back then was treason. If they do anything wrong in the future..." Some people are worried.
Ilea said, "We can't defeat more than a thousand lizard people. How can we defeat more than a hundred nobles with tender skin and tender flesh? If anyone dares to cause trouble, we will just arrest him."
"Speaking of nobles, I thought of another thing," said the new steward Vigo, "Do these people from the Weiting family know how to farm?"
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
But soon Miss Rabbit spoke again and said fiercely, "Learn, if you don't know how to farm, why don't you learn? The group of lizard people taught by Shuangxiu also don't know how to farm. Merlin specially invited a few old farmers to teach them.
People like the Weiting family don’t know how to plant, so I can also find someone to teach them, and tell them directly that if they don’t plant well, they will starve. I wonder who doesn’t plant well?”
Everyone in the Arias family looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
That's true, but it always feels unreal to my ears when I hear it.
The Weiting family, which was arrogant at the time and was known as one of the twelve nobles of the empire, has now been reduced to living in the green fields and farming for the little-known Arias family.
If you don’t do well, you’ll have to go hungry. This is really... five years ago, no one would have believed it as a joke.
"You just think too much." Ilea added, "As long as you go to the ground and work for a while, you will be exhausted every day, so naturally you don't have time to think about any messy things.
"As for worrying that His Majesty will have a bad impression of us because of this, there is no need. His Majesty has no impression of our Arias family at all. If anything happens, Marquis Cullen will be the first to take the blame."
The girl's last words moved everyone present.
Indeed, with the Arias family's reputation in the empire, there is no need to worry about the political influence.
Why should we care about something that doesn't exist at all?
What everyone wants now is to live peacefully in the green fields, and they don't think about developing to the royal capital. Why should they look forward and backward and just take people over to farm the land?
