Chapter 286 Musketeer! Overnight, the entire army was wiped out
The next day.
Isabel held a grand dynasty meeting in Red Leaf City, and all the nobles who could come came.
This is the second official tribute meeting since the destruction of the royal capital. The first time was when the great lords came to Hongye City.
The main content of the meeting at this time was about the heirs of the Buck Kingdom.
According to the laws of the Kingdom of Buck, the relatives of His Majesty the King enjoy the right of inheritance.
According to the priority level, the king's son, spouse, daughter, brother, younger brother, sister, and sister are.
In addition to the rebellious Oran, there are only four immediate relatives left in the Kaili Kingdom, namely his wife Isabel, his daughter Anne, Anna, and his sister Delia.
Before, due to external and internal troubles, no one cared about these things. After all, it is still a question whether the Buck Kingdom can exist.
Now Zhang Feng has destroyed the Kingdom of Gama, and the power of the Kingdom of Buck is unprecedentedly powerful, and the candidate for the king must be determined.
Isabel has the highest priority, so she naturally becomes the new master of the Buck Kingdom.
No one objected to this, which was what everyone hoped to see, otherwise they would not respond to Isabel's call.
Although there are no female kings in the history of the Buck Kingdom, who made King Carey not even a male man stay?
Actually, Isabel doesn't want the position of the kingdom.
She knew how capable she was, and he did not think he was a suitable person to be a king.
However, she didn't want it, and the two princesses Anne and Anna didn't want it, and Delia didn't want it either.
Theoretically, if Isabel is unwilling to inherit the throne of the king, she can give way, but the problem is that these people who are qualified to be given up will not accept it!
According to the law, if unwilling to accept it, the person with the highest priority will force the throne to inherit.
So Isabel had to take this throne if Isabel didn't take it.
Today is Isabel's coronation ceremony.
With the support of all the nobles, Isabel was officially crowned.
From then on, we can no longer call her His Highness, but will call her Her Majesty the Queen.
After the coronation, it was already afternoon.
But the meeting is still going on. Since the Buck Kingdom has a new master, they should also get some benefits from the Dragon ministers.
This is what everyone is most looking forward to.
But before that, Isabel suddenly announced a decision.
"Because I am not in good health and cannot control the internal and external things of the Buck Kingdom for the time being, so I appointed Grand Duke Zhang Feng to do it for the time being, and the time is temporarily set for one year. From now on, Grand Duke Zhang Feng's order is my order."
As soon as the news was announced, the scene became quiet instantly.
Everyone looked at Zhang Feng, all of whom were envious and jealous.
Zhang Feng thought he would be opposed, but everyone just looked at him, and no one jumped out to sing the opposite tune.
After all, everyone is not stupid. Zhang Feng played a decisive role in their current good situation. It is also a good way to announce that Zhang Feng will be in charge for the time being.
It seems that we will have to establish a good relationship with Zhang Feng in the next year!
Everyone smiled kindly at Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng naturally needs to take action when taking over the management business.
These nobles who had defected to him from the very beginning naturally deserved the rewards.
Now that the Buck Kingdom is so big, the territory is enough to be divided.
Every nobleman smiled when he got what he wanted.
In order to prevent the second Aolan from appearing among these nobles in the future, Zhang Feng specially arranged a position called the Supervisor.
In every private territory, there will be supervisors, and their responsibilities are very simple. They do not participate in any management, just simply monitor these nobles and prevent rebellion.
The supervisory envoy directly obeys the king, and other nobles have no authority to govern the supervisory envoy.
As for how many supervisors were, Zhang Feng didn't say that he only said that there must be two at the lowest level, one is bright and the other is dark.
This is obviously a knife hanging over the heads of the nobles, but no one dares to object. After all, Zhang Feng’s reason is very straightforward - to prevent anyone from rebelling like Auran!
If you dare to object, wouldn’t you admit that you have the will to rebel?
Although this incident made the nobles feel a bit like a thorn in their throats, on the whole, they still gained considerable benefits and no one cared too much.
Time passes quickly.
The coldest time of winter is already in the far north.
The nobles all returned to their respective territories, and there were fewer people in the far north at once.
Although there are fewer people, there are more lively than before.
After all, the current development speed of the extreme north is as fast as a rocket.
Heating, paving roads, trains, tall buildings and other things have become popular in the far north.
Now, except for the colder winter, it is better than anywhere else.
When the nobles left, they looked reluctant to part with each other.
Not to mention them, even Isabel is unwilling to leave.
Zhang Feng didn't drive anyone away. Anyway, he is now Her Majesty the Queen, so he has to give people some face.
After Feng took over the affairs of Buck Country, he found that this was easier than he thought.
Because the political system here is that the king controls all the nobles, and then the nobles control local administration.
In other words, the king just needs to take care of the ones he is directly under, and nothing else is needed.
Of course, it is not that the king cannot control it. With Zhang Feng's current strength, no one dares to ignore his orders, but it is not necessary for him. As long as the society is stable, no matter what system it is, Zhang Feng doesn't care.
But things are so coincidental. Zhang Feng wants stability, but others don’t.
"An earl was killed and his territory was plundered? Do you know who did it?"
Zhang Feng asked looking at Isabel.
He promised Isabel to help manage the Kingdom of Buck, but he only cared about big things and small things.
As for what is a big deal? That is something that makes Isabel difficult and is difficult to make decisions, such as now.
"I don't know, but this count's territory is at the junction of ours and the Luoyan Kingdom. Now some nobles and even people in China know this news..."
Isabel's face was a little sad.
She didn't finish her words, but the meaning was obvious. It was very likely that this was done by Luoyan Kingdom.
This is also why she is undecided.
Now that the Buck Kingdom has just stabilized, everything is in trouble, she feels that it must be based on stable development.
But if it was really done by the Luoyan Kingdom, if she did not make corresponding actions, it would not only increase the prestige of others, but also disappoint the people, thinking that her new king was a weak person.
That's why she asked Zhang Feng for his opinion.
"I'll have someone investigate first - forget it, no need to investigate. Since the news has been spread, they will have to take the blame whether they are or not."
Zhang Feng originally wanted to slow down and take action against the Luoyan Kingdom, but since things happened so coincidental, it would be better to choose a day than to meet the day.
"Hmm? What does it mean?"
Isabel doesn't understand very much.
"Since the news has spread among the people, we must not show our fear. Isn't it just a kingdom of fallen flames? If it is destroyed!"
Zhang Feng shrugged.
"ah?"
Isabel was a little confused. Can the life of a little Count lead to a national war?
Her original intention was to negotiate through diplomatic channels first, and then ask the murderer from Luoyan Kingdom for compensation. Why did she start fighting directly when Zhang Feng came to Zhang Feng?
Although he had defeated the Gama Kingdom before, Zhang Feng said that this was because he launched an attack while the main force of Gama Kingdom was fighting against the main force of Luoyan Kingdom and won by strategy.
Now there are only two countries left on the mainland. The Luoyan Kingdom must be on guard against them and it is impossible to give them such a chance again.
Isabel is a little unconfident about whether he can win the Kingdom of Luoyan.
But for Zhang Feng, both the Gama Kingdom and the Luoyan Kingdom were of the same level in his heart. Since the Gama Kingdom could agree, there would definitely be no problem in destroying the Luoyan Kingdom.
It's nothing more than a question of whether he wants to think about it or not.
Originally, he planned to let the Luoyan Kingdom survive for a while, but since it was such a misfortune, don't blame him.
then.
The Kingdom of Buck, which had just been quiet for a long time, became lively again in an instant.
Through the radio, Zhang Feng, in the name of Isabel, summoned all nobles to send troops to attack the Luoyan Kingdom in a certain proportion!
The nobles were also confused. Didn’t they agree to have a stable period before? Why did they start fighting again?
However, compared to Isabel, these nobles were much more decisive.
Zhang Feng wants soldiers?
Give!
Give as much as you want!
Some of the little nobles even were afraid that Zhang Feng would not want the soldiers in his hands, so they took the train to Hongye City in person just to have their own people in this army.
As for why everyone is like this, the reason is very simple - you can eat meat with Zhang Feng!
The last time I went to the Gama Kingdom, I divided my interests according to the amount of my efforts. If I contribute more, I will naturally gain more benefits.
In addition, many nobles followed Zhang Feng at that time, and they knew how terrifying the strength of Zhang Feng's soldiers was!
Although the Luoyan Kingdom is very strong, Zhang Feng used 300,000 troops to annihilate a million troops was just a joke for you?
As long as Grand Duke Zhang Feng leads his troops, he will definitely win!
The recruitment went very smoothly.
In just half a month, a total of one million troops were handed over to Zhang Feng.
These soldiers include the previous surrendered army of the Gama Kingdom, newly recruited soldiers, and of course, there are also veterans who participated in the last war.
With the current area and population of the Buck Kingdom, it is very easy to take out one million soldiers. Even if Zhang Feng speaks, there is no problem with two million or three million.
After all, as long as there is enough profit, they can even get on with a hoe.
But Zhang Feng doesn't need so much.
The Luoyan Kingdom had lost so many elites before and was seriously injured. Even if we recruit soldiers again, the training time would be so short, it would definitely not work.
As for most of the million-dollar army led by Zhang Feng, it is also a problem of new recruits.
Zhang Feng can only say:
Sorry, the weapon gap is too big and cannot be made up with the number of people.
Among these million troops, only 100,000 belong to Zhang Feng.
Among these 100,000 soldiers, in addition to the familiar chariot corps, wolf cavalry corps and orc corps, there are two new terms - Air Force corps and Musketeers corps!
As the name suggests, the Air Force Legion is a legion composed of airships, whose main functions are the transportation of some valuable materials and the release of bombs.
Zhang Feng is very clear about how much this kind of local bomb has on the battlefield, so the Air Force must develop.
As for the Musketeers Legion, it is the weapon in the hands of the soldiers in this legion. It is no longer cold weapons such as swords and spears, but hot weapons - muskets!
Of course, Zhang Feng could not bring all modern guns, he used a flintlock rifle.
The basic structure of a flintlock rifle is to use the impact of flint on the hammer to generate sparks and ignite gunpowder.
This kind of musket is made simple, and after several experiments, Zhang Feng made it.
The production of ammunition is also very simple. Use linen or deer-skinned pieces soaked in grease to wrap the projectiles and put them in the cavity.
Of course, this kind of gun is not as accurate, powerful or firing as a result of modern guns, but for people who are still using cold weapons in another world, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dimensionality reduction strike.
Although compared with bows and arrows, this flintlock does not seem to have much advantage, with close shooting distances and slow loading speeds.
But he has an advantage that cannot be compared with bows and arrows, that is, the musketeers can go to the battlefield with a little training!
Archers not only need talent, but also time is very important, at least three to five years, or at most decades of training.
The learning cost of flintlock rifles is much less than that of crossbows!
With these flintlock rifles, Zhang Feng can use an invincible tactic - the Explosive Soldier!
As long as you are an individual, as long as you can lift the gun, you can go to the battlefield!
As long as he has enough guns in his hand, he is absolutely invincible until the opponent does not have weapons of mass destruction!
There are not many other people in the Buck Kingdom now, but there are many people!
There is no other reason why Zhang Feng only has one million people, simply because he doesn’t have many guns in his hand, and there are not enough people.
He asked these tens of thousands of musketeers to be teachers, each leading more than ten apprentices, and the training time was almost done for a week.
A week later, a army of millions of musketeers was released!
...
The Kingdom of Flame.
The king was a little panicked.
He was also obsessed with the minister's advice and tried the Buck Kingdom.
After all, it has been quite a while since the Buck Kingdom destroyed the Gama Kingdom. Logically speaking, there should be some movement. There are only two countries left in this continent, so they have no ambitions?
As a result, according to the spies' report, Buck did not have any movement to mobilize troops in China, and he did not even train soldiers, but instead focused on building.
Did they also suffer heavy losses during the melee? Now they can’t even recruit soldiers?
The kind of thing that is powerful and can be thrown from nature may be a disposable item, but it is probably used up now.
Otherwise, why didn’t they come to attack the Luoyan Kingdom?
Thinking from the perspective of others, if you stand in the position of the Buck Kingdom and have such powerful force, you will never let go of the Luoyan Kingdom! Unified continent is right in front of you!
Unless there is only one possibility, that is, the other party does not have the ability to attack them anymore!
After thinking about it carefully, this is also very reasonable.
After all, the Buck Kingdom was against two, so their losses must be quite large!
Soldiers cannot be cultivated overnight, it takes time and cost!
Unfortunately, there are not many other countries in the Luoyan Kingdom, but there are many soldiers!
As early as ten years ago, they began to consciously station troops. Perhaps the economy of Luoyan Kingdom is not good and the living conditions are relatively poor, but in terms of military strength alone, Luoyan Kingdom is the strongest among the Three Kingdoms!
However, compared with the Buck Kingdom and Gama Kingdom that have always had conflicts, the Luoyan Kingdom has been silently developing and rarely takes action. They are looking for a suitable opportunity to find an opportunity to catch the Buck Kingdom and Gama Kingdom in one go!
So the king followed the minister's advice and sent someone to secretly cause some trouble - killing a small count and robbing some insignificant wealth.
I want to test the reaction of the Kingdom of Buck.
If the newly ascended Queen reacts fiercely and strongly, then he will admit defeat and pay some gold coins.
If the other party is timid, he will know what to do and later discuss how to attack the Buck Kingdom.
But what he didn't expect was that what did the Buck Kingdom mean to gather millions of troops on the border without saying a word?
What about the process?
Could it be that the person he killed casually was the brother of your queen who had been missing for many years? It wouldn't be such a coincidence!
The king of Luoyan Kingdom was a little panicked.
Is the other party so strong and confident? Isn’t it what I think? They really have hidden strength?
Seeing that the king was a little worried, a minister comforted him:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty the King, the other party must be bluffing! They can't have a million troops. Even if they have one, they are just new recruits. I guess they haven't even seen blood. We sent 500,000 elite troops to guard the border yesterday afternoon, which is enough..."
However, before he finished speaking, he saw a staggering figure rushing into the hall.
Chapter completed!
