Don't say, those are Byron people, they are Andis people and have nothing to do with them.
That's the lives of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, and it may even indirectly affect the livelihoods of millions of people.
Sean cannot bear such a big sin, and neither can the Yongye Army.
Once people know that this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, the Yongye Army will probably be pushed against the Byron Alliance forever.
Therefore, for this plan, the Yongye Army must find allies in the Byron Alliance, allies with high positions to prevent this great good thing from turning into a great disaster.
Angie Beina is the ally selected by the Yongye Army in Manyu Army. In fact, she had already started making preparations as early as half a year ago, but the effect was not ideal. However, Manyu Army has been in great turmoil in recent years.
, the ancient river channel of the Jacob River has not been completely exhausted, and there is still a medium-sized river flowing, which can be regarded as the most prosperous area of the Manyu Army.
In turbulent times, the more prosperous the area, the more likely it is to suffer the scourge of war. This place is no exception. It has changed hands four or five times in the hands of the slave rebel army and Patram. Every time it passes, it is a disaster.
.
Don't think that the army of the new Grand Duke Patram is an official army in name only, and they are just good birds who rob the lower-class farmers. They are more ferocious than the slave rebels. After all, the latter are from the lower class and have a natural affinity for the lower class. Their main goal is to
The target is still those lords and nobles.
Now, ten rooms and nine are empty here, and the fertile farmland is about to turn into wild land. Before the Spring Thunder Plan was launched, the remaining ones were still unwilling to move. Angie Beina planned to use coercion to sweep them away.
In this day and age, no one cares whether law enforcement is enforced.
After selecting allies in the Asia Minor plains, the most suitable one was the regent Princess Sophia Lancelot.
There are many reasons.
The Ancient Jacob River passes out of Manyu's military territory and directly enters her fiefdom. It can be said that most of her fiefdoms are on both sides of the Ancient Jacob River. This coincidence is both accidental and inevitable. The plains of Asia Minor
It was originally caused by the repeated diversions of the Jacob River.
The natural geography will form a seamless connection and minimize the harm.
By then, even if Sophilia can't affect the fiefdoms of other members of the Lancelot royal family, it will be almost enough for her own fiefdom.
After the Jacobs River resumes its flow, the biggest impact will be on the middle and upper reaches. The lower reaches will be affected to a certain extent, but it will not be that big. Not only will it take some time for the river to pass, but also because the largest river peak will be largely decomposed in the middle and upper reaches.
, among which Man Yujun led the most.
The current Manyu military leader is like a big sponge that has been drying for three hundred years. The ancient river itself, the numerous tributaries, ponds, and lakes cannot continue going down until they are filled.
Moreover, in the plains of Asia Minor, the Jacob River has not completely stopped flowing, especially in the lower reaches.
The precipitation in the Asia Minor Plains is relatively abundant, and some of it will flow into the Jacob River. However, the largest source is missing, and the flow is much less and unstable. There are always low water levels for two or three months in a year, which is barely enough.
Just go with a small boat and forget about a slightly larger boat.
This is just a geographical advantage, Sophia Liya also has a political advantage.
Judging from the new policies she has implemented in the territory, she is not that stubborn old guard. Her ability to accept new things is far stronger than other lords and nobles, and she is not so repulsive to the Andis identity.
The most important thing is that Angie Beina is the one who connects people and has the opportunity to talk to her directly. Other nobles and nobles who have the ability to do this thing, Sean and the others can't even see them.
Sean's mind was racing, he went through the cause and effect of the whole thing in his mind, and said extremely seriously: "I'm sorry, I can't do it. I can neither prove that I am not a boastful person, nor can I prove that I am certain.
We can bring Jacob Jiang back to life, but it’s fine that His Highness doesn’t know about this matter. If he knows about it, His Highness can’t sit idly by and ignore it.”
"Are you threatening me?" Sophilia raised her delicate eyebrows, and a trace of anger disappeared in a flash.
"I don't mean to threaten you at all." Sean said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone. "I'm just stating a fact. I said that if, if we can do it, His Highness has been indifferent from beginning to end. When the time comes, it will be your fiefdom that suffers.
Your people, the most we can bear is the reputation of harming living beings. Your Highness should know which is more serious, otherwise, I would not have the chance to stand here."
Sophia Liya fell into a brief silence, because Sean got to the point. This matter involved too much. Even though she had experienced countless bloody storms, she still broke out in a cold sweat when she heard about this matter.
If the rolling river water surged down crazily, she could not imagine what kind of impact it would have on her fiefdom, the entire Lancelot royal family, and even the entire Byron Alliance.
At least for my fiefdom, half of the six or seven years of hard work will be in vain.
Therefore, whether Sean is the kind of big liar who makes shocking remarks in order to attract attention, Sophia Liya has to meet him.
What's more, Sophilia is not completely ignorant of the changes in the Andis Mountains.
In addition to speaking through Angie Beina's mouth, both the Lancelot royal family and Sophia Liya themselves have their own channels to understand this matter, especially after the great turmoil in the Manyu army, the entire Byron
The Alliance's attention has been focused on this, and the Yongye Group Army has also taken advantage of it. Their reputation outside has spread far beyond their expectations, at least in the eyes of the nobles and nobles.
However, most of the forces' understanding of the Yongye Group Army is limited to the fact that a relatively united force has emerged in the Andis Mountains. What is its strength? Because the confidentiality work is so good, not many people know about it. Even if they master it,
Some internal information about the Yongye Army was also known through the people who exchanged with Angie Beina.
However, due to race reasons, these people have a limited scope of activities in the Yongye Army. They know very little from the inside, otherwise the Yongye Army would not be so happy to agree to the exchange of citizens with Anji Beina.
In fact, the intersection between Sophia Liya and Sean happened a long time ago when she met Angie Beina.
Many things that flowed from Ms. Elena to Angie Beina then passed through Angie Beina's hands and ended up in Sophilia's hands, especially regarding some specious economic and political concepts.
Why does Sean feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity and identification with Sophia Liya's New Deal?
Because the source of some things is in himself, but it was changed by Sophia to make it seem specious and false based on the actual situation and her own subjective thoughts.
The two parties involved did not realize that there was such a connection between the two parties.
Seeing this, Sean kept up his efforts and said: "I have a way to get the best of both worlds. I wonder if Your Highness is willing to listen to it."
"Please speak." The Princess Regent assumed a posture of listening.
"Why don't Your Highness exchange the scattered fiefdoms with the land around the ancient Jacob River channel in the name of land consolidation? With His Highness's reputation and the little extra benefit, I believe no one will
Refuse. At that time, His Highness will only need to renovate the cities and towns around the ancient Jacob River. If we can succeed, everyone will be happy. His Highness will not only gain a good reputation, but also make a lot of money. There will be a road running through the east and west.
There is no need for me to describe the convenience of the river. It only takes half a week to go down the river to the royal capital."
"If it fails, Your Highness will take the opportunity to sort out his fiefdom. A connected fiefdom is easier to manage than scattered fiefdoms."
As Sean spoke, he paid attention to Sophilia's expressions and body movements, trying to guess her true inner thoughts, but unfortunately he gained little.
The other party has obviously received special training in this area. Regardless of body movements or expression changes, they are all under his control. If he really reveals something, be careful whether the other party is deliberately misleading.
Thinking about it, Sophia Liya usually deals with old foxes who have been practicing for who knows how many years. Their ability to read words and emotions is much better than Sean's, and they have suffered under her hands.
Sean no longer worked in vain in this regard, and said straightforwardly: "This is a gamble. Whether you enter or not depends entirely on His Highness's wishes. It is imperative for us to dig open the mountain and let the Jacob River flow again.
Yes, there is no sure-win bet in this world, but once we succeed, our gains will be beyond imagination. I believe Your Highness should have a deeper understanding. When you investigated the land under the name of the Holy See, you were not sure of victory.
Isn't it?"
When she mentioned the most glorious event in her life, Sophie Lina's expression finally changed, revealing a half-smiling expression: "You don't need to provoke me with words, these are two completely different things.
Matters, inventory of the land under the name of the Holy See, everything is under my control. I know how far I have achieved it, while Jacob Jiangfuliu is completely under your control, and I am concerned about you and the power you represent.
Without understanding, let alone trust, how can you let me push the chips?"
This time, Sean fell silent when it came to talking about it, because everything came back to the starting point - the issue of trust.
This is the most difficult problem that must be solved. If this problem is not solved, there will be no way for the talks to continue.
But Sean racked his brains and couldn't figure out a way to win Sophia Liya's trust, including revealing his trump card, black powder, because the other party would question the power of black powder. He couldn't prepare black powder on the spot and give it to her.
Let’s do a blast test!
If this is the case, Sean will be worried. What if the other party is frightened by the power of black powder, detains him, and asks for the formula of black powder?
Just when Sean thought this meeting was over, something unexpected happened.
Sophia Liya unfolded a large map, and with just a glance, Sean could confirm that it was a map of the Ashan Continent. It was different from the abstract maps that Sean had seen that had been artistically processed. This was a well-made map.
Many of the markings on military maps are very standardized, including proportions and distances.
In view of the current social background, such a military map can be regarded as a well-crafted military weapon.
Sophilia only unfolded half of the roll, revealing the Andis Mountains, the Manyu military leader and the tail of half of the Asia Minor plains, the core area of the Byron Alliance. She had no intention of showing it to Sean and Angie Beina.
, obviously knows a lot about the memory ability of warlocks. If you glance at them, it is not difficult to write down the soldier sketches.
"Although I'm not sure whether you can do this, I am very interested in the possibility you mentioned. Now let's put aside this doubt and assume that you can restore the flow of the Jacob River. You will
How are you going to cooperate with me? I don't think you came all the way here just to care about the lives and deaths of the people in Byron downstream."
"Let me guess, once the Jacob River flows again, your development focus will shift here!"
Sophia's slender finger tapped heavily on the map, and it turned out to be the Swamp of Despair.
There are many smart people in this world, and Sophia Liya is obviously one of them. When the Yongye Army revealed to her that it was planning to revive Jacob Jiang, it had already revealed a lot of information to her.
"That's right." Sean nodded and admitted openly, "There is too little land suitable for farming in the Andis Mountains, especially after the Jacob River resumes its flow, and we are unwilling to become intruders. This land
Borderless land is the best choice. His Highness should not take any chances with this land. We Andis people will fight to the death against anyone who dares to take his ideas."
Sean directly showed his final bottom line, but he really wasn't worried that Sophia Liya would plot in the Swamp of Despair. Even if it was a conspiracy, he wouldn't be afraid.
Because she does not have a geographical advantage, there is no land directly bordering the Asia Minor Plains and the Despair Swamp. They are separated by the Carthusian Hills with complex terrain, which is the fiefdom of the Kingsley family.
In fact, the biggest competitor of the Yongye Group Army at that time will be this family with the title of Stag Running on Gold Coins. This family is known as the richest family in the continent. It owns many mines and one-third of the ironware in the continent.
It is supplied by this family. The only flaw is that most of the territory is in hilly areas, and the food output is too small to supply the consumption of millions of mining slaves, so a large amount of it needs to be purchased from outside.
As for whether Sophilia will inform the Kingsley family, there is no need to worry. The Lancelot royal family is one of the largest food suppliers to the Kingsley family and is the only means to check and balance this family.
If the Kingsley family obtains a safe production area in the rear, he will no longer be a stag running on gold coins, but a tiger running on gold coins. He will directly break away from the Byron Alliance and become independent.
It's not impossible.
In the Swamp of Despair, Sophilia would rather take advantage of the Andis than fall into the hands of the Kingsley family.
It is true that Sophilia is the princess of the Byron Alliance, but she is first and foremost the princess of the Lancelot royal family. Her first consideration is the interests of the Lancelot royal family, and then the interests of the entire Byron Alliance.
If the Byron Alliance benefits and the interests of the Lancelot royal family are harmed, then the interests of the Byron Alliance must give way to the interests of the Lancelot royal family.
This is not contradictory at all. Not only does the regent Princess Sophia want to do this, but other military leaders also want to do this, including those lower-level lords and nobles. Most of them use their own
The interests of the family should be the first starting point, and then the people of one's allegiance and one's own kingdom should be considered.
This is the reason why the Byron Alliance is called the Byron Alliance instead of the Byron Empire. Their internal cohesion is quite poor. If there was not a human enemy from the outside suppressing the Odin Empire, the Byron Alliance would have been torn apart and their brains would have been destroyed.
