Chapter 1 Bailu Town

Chapter 1 Bailu Town

Claude got up very early. If it was Chen Xi before time travel, he might not get up and go to the company until noon because the nightlife was too rich. But after becoming Claude, he had to get up early, and he was even used to it being past five o'clock.

Wake up day.

Every morning at six o'clock in the morning, the war temple in the east end of the town will ring the heavy horn bell. The crisp bell will ring throughout Bailu Town, which heralds the beginning of a new day. And Bailu Town also

Will wake up from silence and regain vitality. The noise of carriages and horses and the shouts of hawkers will soon echo in the streets and alleys.

The morning glow dyed the entire sky red, and it seemed that today would be a sunny day.

Good weather means there is enough light, so there is no need to light an oil lamp for morning reading. Claude rubbed his face, sat down at the desk, picked up his grammar book and started reading silently.

Claude has always thought that he was a miserable time-traveler, because he had no system, no portable space, and no old man in the ring. Didn’t they say that there are golden fingers in time-travel? But it took Claude more than half a year to

I'm sure I don't have any golden fingers. The only abnormality is that his hearing is very sensitive and he can hear other people's whispers from a long distance. In addition, his imagination may be a little richer. Sometimes he hears his parents talking downstairs.

I can simulate in my mind the appearance of the living room downstairs and my parents' every move.

A new world means new words and new knowledge. After reading books for more than ten years in my previous life, I never expected that I would have to go to school again after traveling through time. Is there any more unlucky traveler than this? Especially the body that I traveled through.

The original owner was still a poor student, and his grades were at the bottom of the class. In order to understand this new world that he had traveled to, he had to study hard so that he could better integrate into this new world.

The bell rang, and the melodious bell echoed in the sky. Soon, there were sounds of moving and opening the door downstairs. My mother had already gotten up to prepare breakfast for the family.

Claude threw the grammar book in his hand on the table. In fifteen minutes, he had already finished all the review and preview. Thanks to more than three months of hard work, his grades in the class have improved by leaps and bounds. Only

However, in order to hide his clumsiness, Claude had to deliberately make a few mistakes in the monthly exam to avoid accidentally becoming the first in the class, which would make people suspicious.

After all, the original owner of this body's grades were really bad. It was surprising enough that he improved by ten or twenty places. Claude himself couldn't imagine it if the sixty-three people in the class got first place in the exam.

What will happen? So for him, even for very simple courses, grades are not important. What is important is to understand this new world through learning.

“Mutton grilled naan! Freshly baked mutton grilled naan…”

"Honey! Excellent golden osmanthus honey! Sweet from mouth to heart..."

"Apples, apples are on sale! Sir, three pfennig a boiled apple, thank you..."

The shouts of vendors came from the street, as did the rumble of hard wheels rolling across the street.

"Good morning, Mrs. Field. Do you need milk today? Fresh milk, just brought from the pasture." This was the voice of Uncle Green. He had a small pasture in the hilly area north of the town and raised more than ten cows.

He gets up before dawn every day, milks the milk, and rushes to the town before the horn bell rings to deliver milk to customers who have placed a deposit. As for the excess milk, he sells it along the street, driving the car when it is sold out.

An old carriage goes back.

Although my mother was not Uncle Green's milk deposit customer, because of my father's relationship, Uncle Green would often come over to inquire and sell some milk half-sale and half free.

"Good morning, Old Green, let me take a look first." After a while, the mother said, "It's very fresh milk. Give me a jug."

Claude shook his head. His mother must have taken the extra-large silver jug ​​at home to buy milk again. One jug in this silver jug ​​was worth two jugs.

Sure enough, my mother's voice sounded: "Is one sunar enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough." Uncle Green said, "One pot of sutar, that's how I sell it."

"Thank you, Brother Green." Mother knew very well that she had taken advantage, but she was used to it.

Claude's father, Morsan Field, is the administrative director of White Deer Town. He is also a prominent figure in the town. Although his official position is not high, he has the real power to supervise all administrative affairs in the town, so people often come to give gifts.

Flattery. Just like Uncle Green selling milk, all he wants is that if something happens, Claude's father can come forward and say a few nice words to him, which is enough for the amount of milk he usually delivers.

Claude stood up and put on a black school uniform. It was a short coat similar to that on Earth, but instead of a suit collar, it had a square collar that stood up, a bit like the collar of a Chinese tunic suit. The hem was knee-length.

It is flat, and the cuffs are closed like a leather jacket. The school uniform is made of linen fabric, so it does not look very flat and has a little wrinkled feel.

Get the blue towel from the lanyard in the corner, open the door and go downstairs to the bathroom.

Sometimes Claude would be grateful for the good life and hygiene standards of the new world he traveled through. For example, the toothbrush was made of wood and horse hair, and it was a little big but could still be stuffed into his mouth. Although there was no toothpaste, there was

Tooth powder seems to be made from refined salt and plant herbs. Tap water is provided by a water tower and red copper pipes, but only the rich people in the town can enjoy it. There are also toilet paper, soap and soap on the windows.

There is also glass, and even bathrooms have flush toilets, etc. Thinking of those colleagues who traveled through the ancient times and used wooden tiles to scrape their butts, Claude often secretly rejoiced. Sure enough, happiness comes from comparison...

Claude's home is a four-story red brick building. The highest floor is a row of four spire attics. Claude once heard his father talk about it when chatting with others.

The Hogo-style architecture that was all the rage a hundred years ago was created by the famous architectural master Pierid Hogo. The seventh king of the Kingdom of Overas, Stirling VII, loved and appreciated this style of architecture very much.

Architectural style, once ordered the construction of three streets in the royal capital with Hogo-style buildings on both sides.

More than 60 years ago, a territorial baron named Brandt C. Rodman built this Hogo-style building as his residence in Bailu Town. This building also became the most beautiful building in Bailu Town.

One of the most famous buildings of luxury.

Fifty years ago, Prince Calgary Don Sterling, later known as Sterling IX, fired the first shot at reviving the kingdom in White Deer Town, and the Rodman Mansion, also known as this red brick building,

The building became the base camp of the hostile forces, and the fiercest resistance took place here.

It is said that the situation at that time was very tense. If the Rodman Mansion could not be attacked within half an hour, the musketry garrison at Stone Sentence fifteen miles away from White Deer Town was likely to come to reinforce the enemies.

, after all, these enemies are nominally the ruling class of White Deer Town. As subordinates, the musket garrison at Stone Sentry must obey their orders, even if many of these officers and soldiers are sympathizers and supporters of Prince Kargat.

Nothing can be done.

In order to resist the royal capital's arrest and house arrest order, Prince Kargat, who hastily launched a war, had no choice but to beg a brave man with a heavy reward, swearing that no matter who he was, as long as he could break into the mansion, no matter what he asked after victory,

No matter what the request, title, property, beauty, official position, as long as the prince can fulfill it, he will definitely fulfill this promise.

The huge reward promised by the prince made many of the desperadoes under his command red-eyed. After a burst of gunfire, the soldiers inspired by the huge reward braved the gunfire sprayed from every window of the mansion to launch a death attack. Along the way

With thirty or forty casualties fallen, the remaining ten warriors successfully rushed into the mansion and started a desperate hand-to-hand battle with the defenders.

Taking this opportunity, the prince immediately launched a second charge, and with the defenders' firepower greatly reduced, they captured the first floor of the mansion with only a few casualties. The situation was over, and soon the remaining defenders were either

To be beaten to death means to surrender.

The prince successfully occupied Bailu Town, but the musket garrison that came for reinforcements was late in arriving. Between the accusation of delaying the fighter plane and the prince's recruitment, they chose the second option without hesitation and became the prince's subordinates.

The first formally organized combat camp.

This was the beginning of the civil war in the Kingdom of Ovilas, known as the "War of the Three Color Wands" that Claude saw in the history books. After the death of Stirling VII, the frail Stirling VIII came to the throne.

For eleven years, nothing has been done. The kingdom is declining day by day, and the finances are unable to make ends meet. Moreover, the conflicts between the nobles, free people, and merchants have become increasingly fierce. Many territorial nobles ignore the laws of the kingdom, set up tax cards on the fiefdoms, and set up private armies at will, plundering private wealth for the purpose.

Already enjoyed.

Bandits are everywhere in the kingdom, and the people are in dire straits. The Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Berkeley on the border of the kingdom are taking advantage of the situation, constantly provoking border disputes, and occupying two counties in the northeast of the kingdom. Faced with external and internal troubles, Sterling Eight

Shi's solution was very simple, just stare and die, leaving a mess for his successors.

It doesn't matter that Sterling VIII is dead. Anyway, his sense of existence has always been very poor. In the eyes of the people of the kingdom, it doesn't matter whether he has this king or not. No matter how bad the current situation is, it can't be any worse. Everyone is suffering.

Survive.

The problem is that it doesn't matter whether Sterling VIII dies, but he did not leave a will to announce who the next king will be. Now the eldest princess Ilinia Don Sterling and the second prince Ernest Don.

Both Sterling and Sterling were excited. They both believed that they had the possibility of ascending to the throne.

Princess Ilinia has a poor reputation among the people and is also known for her dissolute nature among the nobility. Her supporters are the military nobles in the Royal Guards. She is also connected to the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Berkeley.

It is said that these two enemy countries supported the eldest princess to become the queen. At that time, there were rumors that the eldest princess would cede the four northeastern counties to the two neighboring countries in exchange for a peace agreement and support for her after agreeing to ascend the throne.

.

Prince Ernest's supporters are the territorial aristocrats, that is, the small group of people with vested interests in the kingdom. They are led by the prince's uncle, Archduke Brown. They stubbornly oppose all changes to the status quo. They rely on the twelve people they have in their hands.

The city defense army's musket garrison camp, they faced off with the imperial guards in the capital, and incidents of gunfire occurred from time to time.

While Princess Ilinia and Prince Ernest were in conflict, they also did not forget to take care of their little brother, the third prince Calgat Don Sterling. As we all know, the third prince is Sterling VIII who has not yet ascended the throne.

The results he created with his personal maid before taking the throne are not the queen's biological children, and strictly speaking they should be classified as illegitimate children.

However, the personal maid contracted the epidemic and died of the epidemic shortly after the birth of Prince Kalgat. King Stirling VIII missed the old relationship and asked the queen to adopt the little baby and became the third prince in name. In fact, Prince Kalgat was composed of a pair of

He was raised by the old couple who were the gardeners of the palace. The queen was busy taking care of her two biological children and never paid attention to this illegitimate son.

Princess Ilinia and Prince Ernest have always thought that Prince Kalgat was not a threat to the throne. After all, he was not the Queen's biological child. However, they also felt that Prince Kalgat's presence in the king was an eyesore, and they wanted to give him a fiefdom.

Unable to bear it, they simply found an excuse for him to go to patrol the three southwest counties and sent him out of the royal capital, out of sight but out of mind.

But what they didn't expect was that Prince Kargat would use the banner of the Stirling royal family as a tiger skin, punish the lawless territorial nobles and local tycoons, comfort the poor, eliminate bandits and bandits along the way, and win over the people with great fanfare.

, many heroes and elites who were worried about national affairs defected to his command, and soon Prince Kargat had a strong team of troops.

At this time, Princess Ilinia and Prince Ernest could not sit still in the royal capital, and were ready to deal with this new threat to the throne heir. On the second day after Prince Kalgat arrived in Bailu Town, the arrest

Prince Kargat was captured and brought to the royal capital for house arrest, and an order was issued to disband his entourage. There was also a sentence below the order: If there was resistance, he could be shot on the spot.

The fiefdom baron of White Deer Town brought his private armed forces to Prince Kargat's camp to carry out the order from the royal capital. This forced the prince to fire the first shot of resistance, and then captured White Deer Town.

The musket garrison was incorporated, and the civil war in the Kingdom of Overas began...
