Chapter 280 The War Begins
Chapter 280 The war begins
Lynn originally thought that this sudden attack would have some impact on subsequent events, such as the royal family being worried about calling Charlotte back, but in fact, he was overthinking it.
After the news was sent back to the palace, not only did the royal family not ask Lynn to send Charlotte back, but they vaguely revealed in their words that this was a good thing and it would be even better if they could do it again.
The reason for this can be clearly understood by just thinking about it.
A story without danger and hardship is not a story that will attract people's attention. What everyone wants to see is the protagonist standing out from the many hardships and standing on a high place. But it is not possible to go all the way up or to move forward smoothly. There must be negative events.
, Only in this way can the excellence of the protagonist be brought out.
The crisis Charlotte encountered this time can just pave the way for subsequent publicity.
"Look, our Highness is in danger himself, but he still wants to save everyone."
What will be spread among the people next is probably this kind of rhetoric.
After understanding it, Lynn handed the news to Charlotte, and Charlotte didn't behave like a normal person.
Most people would be eager to return to a safer place after encountering a kidnapping, but she seemed a little lucky.
Are you glad you weren't sent back?
In this war, many lords were forced to participate. However, when they participated in the war, they were actually responsible for their own profits and losses. The royal family would only provide some negligible subsidies at most, which were nothing compared to military expenses.
So, what to do?
We have all helped you fight the war, so we still have to give you money, right?
After patchwork, we finally solved the problem of eating for the time being.
He said that if we really calmed down as soon as he said it, it seemed a bit inconsistent with our personality, and the previous "acting" might be exposed, which would arouse Kristen's anger even more, otherwise we would still pretend to behead.
Just hire some people, it'll be easier to do this
To be honest, the "messenger" won't live here for a long time anyway, and it's up to him to take action. Let's pretend to kill people, and then move these people out of the city or find a place to hide in the city - the city is so big anyway
, it will definitely be no problem to hide some people.
Therefore, it cannot be lost.
Well, judgment has no value, so what should we do with them?
If you can't be included and refuse to be honest and obedient, then you'll have to use unconventional means.
"No wonder history is always in chaos. War money is indeed a big fortune."
Of course, it's not that this land can suddenly grow tons of rice per acre, but that Mingyue City unexpectedly has a new meaning of existence.
Therefore, Mingyue City, which once had an "excellent resume", became their first choice for trading - if the sky fell, wouldn't there be a duke to hold it up?
This time, Lin En did not take matters into his own hands, but asked Corinna to spread the news back home.
He took Charlotte with him like a walking token. Wherever he went, he was willing to give out some food and help.
As a result, some lords with "long-term vision" have already begun to think about saving money in some way.
The original industries of Mingyue City have been turned into a simple black city under Hessery's operation. If they were asked to put down their swords, they would not even know what they could do.
The first is the problem of this city.
In this regard, Linn pretended not to know.
Most of these rebels are well-trained troops of the lords, not temporary militia groups. They are organized, disciplined and targeted, and can accurately attack and occupy every location they want.
Linn didn't think too much about it because he was busy with something else.
Lin En looked at the report in his hand and sighed slightly.
Because they need weapons, or military supplies.
So many people? How to lose them?
Moreover, the royal family has begun to spread publicity in other places. If people find out that your place is an empty city, won't the royal family also be doomed?
Take it in your hand, people on this ground are disobedient and disobedient, and they might stab themselves in the back when the time comes.
The rebels broke out in the province of Rotara in the south of the Rhine, and it took only seven days to completely control the entire Rotara. At the same time, in other provinces, armed forces of various sizes set fire to towns everywhere.
There is money, power, and even force, and there are some - those who "disappeared" are not really missing.
Unfortunately, due to long-term neglect and barren territory, it is almost impossible to produce food here. They must develop a reliable industry in a short period of time and continue the cycle to save themselves.
Therefore, with the tacit understanding between the thoughtful lord and the merchant, they became trading partners.
Although the royal family was well prepared, there were too many rebellion locations and they were not concentrated, so there was no way to clear them all in the first time.
Previously, Mingyue City was a famous underground black market exchange. As long as they had money, most people could exchange for what they wanted here.
The Duke said no at this time, because the bloodshed would affect the little princess, and then the royal family, and then they would be the unlucky ones.
The shrewd lords would certainly not agree.
At this time, Linn came up with a new idea.
On the day he handed the news back, he went behind the back of the housekeeper and met with the two gang leaders.
But these formal channels are all in the hands of the royal family.
Then Linn was glad that Charlotte was not sent back.
If you want to save them, you must deduct some free food from other places.
On the day of the meeting, he gave the two leaders some tasks as well as certain rewards and promises.
Although Hessery is dead, the two gangs still exist, and they still cannot be defeated, because the bottom members of the gangs do not know that they are actually toys, and they all think that the other party is a mortal enemy who does not want them to live. If the gangs still
If it is there, it can still provide them with cohesion. If it is gone, they will probably fall apart and form new gangs.
But not all of these lords are wealthy people. If the war is to continue for a long time, their expenses may be unbearable.
The two gang leaders had never met Corina, but the other party's posture did not seem like a fake. After understanding (the information given by Lin En), they confirmed that the other party's identity was true, and then they began to panic.
Lost?
But if I don’t throw it away, how should I fix it?
With the support of the majority of the people, it only took three days for the rebels' fierce advance to come to a standstill. Two more days later, their territory had even begun to shrink.
Although this is a normal phenomenon of solidification after expansion, under the royal family's publicity, everyone still believes that this rebellion was just an accident, and that as long as some time passes, everything will return to its original appearance.
This made the people who came from Christine judge them as a completely bandit group with no value for inclusion.
He felt that if a group of people who had been licking their blood for so long had nowhere to go, that would always attract the attention of some ambitious people, right?
Sure enough, after Duke Christine learned the news, he sent several more people to "receive" these people that day - this was actually a secret message that Linn should not know, but unfortunately, Miss Corina
He acted as a mole without any family consciousness and revealed the information without reservation.
So when Christine secretly met with the two leaders later, they barely concealed their banditry, and even directed and acted a chaotic and violent bloody scene.
I guess so.
They thought that Corinna came here because her "acting" had angered Kristen, so they went to Linn to complain and wanted a solution.
Compared with the housekeeper, this attendant was obviously not that loyal. Lin En only used some tricks to let him reveal his handle, and then firmly controlled him.
Because the war really broke out!
Corina added that she would stabilize the little princess and take her out to travel to avoid the limelight. This time would be enough for them to at least appear obedient.
Hessery used Christine's name to create publicity, but now the benefits fall on Lynn.
I have to say that the benefits of long-term peace are still considerable.
The Duke's idea is to sell the city, and he has secretly contacted several buyers. But now that the city has not been sorted out, how can anyone dare to come and see it?
Corina handed this information to Christine, and the Duke was now satisfied, and expressed his willingness to provide them with the most basic necessities for survival until someone else took over.
At this point, the Duke reluctantly agreed, and told Blaze to do it, and Corinna to go out and put aside the relationship.
After Lin En provided them with food, Lin En naturally took over Hessery's position and became the new boss of the two bosses.
In short, the fluctuations at the top did not affect most people, and the prestige of the two leaders still existed.
Now Kristen is in a bit of a dilemma.
This is not a clean matter, and being discovered almost equals death.
However, after Hessery's death, people without the blessing of connections naturally stopped coming to Mingyue City to trade, but when the world began to fall into chaos, they had to come again.
If you want to eat enough, you have to rely on yourself.
However, just when everything seemed to be starting to change and develop for the worse, Mingyue City was quietly filled with new vitality.
At this time, "Corinna" made a suggestion.
Just by collecting the handling fees given by both parties for providing the land, Mingyue City has made a lot of money. Even at this time, it can afford enough food to fill the stomach, and even has a surplus.
But this is not a long-term solution, because no one is willing to dig out their own pockets for people in other cities.
Another seven days have passed, and the flames of rebellion have burned about two-fifths of the Rhineland.
Unfortunately, all the previous sellers went back on their word at this time and refused to provide a large amount of money in exchange for a useless city.
As a result, things became more and more troublesome.
No matter how you look at it, it's a dilemma.
In fact, this wealth came from some inexplicable reasons, but it finally solved their urgent needs. They even hid it from Duke Christian and made the money almost become his pocket money. The butler returned as early as the beginning of the war.
After arriving at Christine, the only ones left in Mingyue City are him, Corina, Charlotte, and other attendants who replaced the butler.
The two leaders agreed to Lin En, so on a stormy night, some people in the city, which was already small, disappeared.
There's no way you can support these people who don't do anything for nothing, right?
Fortunately, the royal family was not a freeloader. After a brief period of uneasiness, with Catalena as the center and the Knights of the Rhine as the leader, the troops of the lords of the surrounding provinces, whose royal propaganda had worked, began to stabilize the situation.
The two leaders nodded doubtfully - in fact, they had been very quiet since Hessery was gone, and the only conflict was about acting.
The royal family hopes that Christine will do this. After all, high welfare is something that can be publicized, but Christine is not a fool. Why should she share it with these common people after she has finally made a fortune?
Without any solution, this group of people is like a basket of rotten eggs that a poor family has left for a month. No one wants to eat them, but they are reluctant to lose them. After all, it is rare to have so many eggs.
The royal family can produce its own military supplies, but the lords cannot. If they want it, they can only buy it through channels.
Once you have a trading partner, then there must be a trading place, right?
He himself has some of the same ideas as the Duke, so since he can make this decision, he will definitely not give away the spoils he can get to others.
The people in this city are very poor, very poor. Their trousers pockets are jingling. They cannot afford food or other things.
As long as they remained quiet while they were still in his possession, even if only superficially, he could find a suitable buyer.
Lin En said that there was nothing he could do because he was also a part-time worker, but as long as they kept quiet for a while, the matter would probably pass.
Corina agreed, and then turned around and threatened the other party with her last name. If you don't obey, you will both die.
The current Mingyue City is actually roughly equivalent to his Yitang.
Due to the impact of the war, the prices of food and military supplies have skyrocketed. Food was okay. The royal family controlled it, and merchants did not dare to raise prices wildly. However, the same could be said for military supplies.
But this involves another problem.
Do you want to work part-time for a fee?
So, they turned their eyes to the merchants.
As businessmen who have their presence in their presence, they will definitely produce a lot of military supplies at this time. Even if they are looking for temporary supplies, they cannot miss such an opportunity to make a lot of money, even though this is a prohibited matter.
After shaking his head and clearing his mind of thoughts, Linn picked up another report.
When he saw the first line of text, he was slightly stunned, and it took him a while to remember that this was something he had promised Charlotte to investigate.
So he got up from his position, took the report, and knocked on Charlotte's door.
"Charlotte, I have news about what I asked about before."
