My Empire War Game
Chapter 275 Political Alliance
"Think about it. The pioneering nobles successfully established their territory, and then defeated the orcs and successfully killed the orc chiefs. Many knight novels are this way, and those are fake after all. You are the real thing."
"I think it won't be long before many knights will take the initiative to defect to you."
Su Lun didn't care about these things. As for the knights who defected, most of them were of some strength, or they were the second sons of small noble families, who basically wanted to obtain fiefs. He has no plans to accept these knights, after all, the strength of the knights in Zhenbei City is not ranked at all.
Give them land? Su Lun was stupid to do this.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's have dinner first." Su Lun waved his hand and said.
"It just so happens that I am also very interested in the food in Zhenbei City."
Sullen brought Lancelotta and the other nobles into the camp. Food was already prepared in the camp. Although it was in the military camp, Sullen's food was still very good. Those who have been trained a lot, although not as good as halflings, are much stronger than most human chefs.
Su Lun also specially prepared a barbecue, hunting a yellow sheep in the wilderness, marinating the most tender parts with spices, and grilling them directly when eating, and the fragrance soon permeated the tent.
In the end, when these barbecues were served by the chef, some green vegetables were placed on the silver plate as side dishes. The silver plate, the sauce-red barbecue was covered with a layer of sauce, the edges were slightly charred, and the meat inside was tender and tender. There is also a layer of cumin sprinkled on top, and with a light bite of your teeth, the sauce in the barbecue overflows your mouth.
Slightly hot, but tastes great.
"Delicious, your chef's craftsmanship is no worse than that of His Majesty's, and what kind of spices do you sprinkle on it?" Lancelot just sang and tasted it, his eyes glowed, and he immediately discovered the key, cumin This spice is a natural pairing with BBQ.
"This is cumin, a spice that is only found in the wasteland of the Northland, and the quantity is rare." Su Lun said with a smile.
"It's really delicious, this spice is amazing." The other nobles exclaimed in admiration. Several nobles bared their teeth when they were hot, but their swallowing speed did not decrease at all.
"I'm going to sell this spice to the outside world. If you like it, you can go to Zhenbei City to buy it. I'll give you a 20% discount." Su Lun said with a smile.
"I'll ask the servant to go to Zhenbei City to buy some." Lancelot said.
After lunch, everyone finally started to get to the point. What is the main topic, to put it bluntly, it is the distribution of credits. Su Lun does not intend to ask for these credits, and he does not intend to become part of the Kingdom of Florence, so these credits are prepared to be exchanged for benefits.
After some exchange of interests, Su Lun obtained a lot of benefits from these nobles, and those nobles also divided Su Lun's credit, and both parties were satisfied.
After discussing these matters, the nobles of the northern provinces left one after another, but Lancelot had no plans to get up. Seeing this situation, Su Lun waved his hand in tacit agreement to let the servants back down.
"Marquis Lancelot, do you have anything else to do?" Su Lun tilted his body to make himself more comfortable on the chair.
Lancelot drank the rum in his hand, and then put down the glass with a sigh of relief, "Your Excellency Suren doesn't want to join the Kingdom of Florence, right?"
"Why do you say that?" Su Lun raised her eyebrows.
"You gave all the credit to those nobles, and you made it clear that you don't care about His Majesty's reward." Lancelot shrugged and said.
"So what?" Su Lun said lazily.
"With the strength of Zhenbei City, the Kingdom of Florence will acquiesce." Lancelot said without any scruples.
"But I have a better way."
"In what way?" Su Lun asked, and now he didn't want to get too stiff with the Kingdom of Florence.
"You should know that this time the orcs invaded, we suffered heavy losses, and even the Marquis of Winter was killed. This was a big blow to the Kingdom of Florence."
"The death of a legendary powerhouse is indeed a serious matter, but the surrounding countries are not easy." Su Lun nodded and said that several surrounding countries were also troubled by the invasion of orcs. This time, the orcs not only invaded Florence, Several surrounding countries have a share, or even more serious.
"It's not a foreign matter, but a domestic matter." Lancelot shook his head and said.
"Listen to me explain to you." Seeing that Su Lun was a little confused, Lancelot picked up the glass and poured a glass of wine and shook it and said, "You should also know that there are several factions that have always existed in our kingdom of Florence."
"I don't know much about this." Su Lun shrugged. After all, when he was in the Kingdom of Florence, his level was not high, and he couldn't get in touch with the top news. In addition, after coming to the northern wilderness, they were busy developing their territories, and the news channels could not be compared with those of the old nobles. Most of the time, they learned from the news brought by the caravan, and the news brought by the caravan was at least two or three. Months ago, maybe even half a year.
"Uh, well, I'll just say it directly." Lancelot smiled awkwardly: "You should know that the Florentine royal family was not the Henry family at the earliest."
Su Lun nodded. The earliest royal family in the Kingdom of Florence was the Roman royal family, then it became the Nord royal family, and finally the current Henry family. It can be said that it has changed three times. These families are basically inextricably linked by blood. , which is one of the reasons why Florence has so many heirs.
"There were originally two legendary powerhouses loyal to the royal family, one is Marquis of Winter and the other is Marquis of Brooke, while the Kingdom of Florence has five legendary powerhouses, and the other three are loyal to the other three marquis families. It's nothing, the royal family with two legendary powerhouses has an advantage over any marquis, and the three marquis families themselves are constantly dirty."
"This has kept the royal family in control of the kingdom, but now the death of Marquis Winter has broken this balance. The royal family and the other three marquis families have returned to the same starting line. What do you think the consequences will be?" Lancelot was a little helpless. Said that although he is also a marquis, he does not have a matching territory, and as King Hunter's henchman, once the Hunter family is replaced by other marquis, he can only go back to the countryside to retire.
"The emperor takes turns and will come to my house this year?" Su Lun also understood.
"you can say it this way."
Of course, the alternation of the royal families in the Kingdom of Florence will not kill them all. Otherwise, the Roman royal family and the Nord royal family would have long since disappeared, and there would not be the three marquis families now. This kind of thing has become accustomed to the nobles of Florence.
"Then what do you mean by looking for me? Make me loyal to the royal family?" Su Lun frowned.
"I think so too, but would you agree?"
"of course not."
"So we came up with another option," Lancelot said.
"Let's talk about the plan." Su Lun became interested.
"The Henry Royal Family and your Zhenbei City have formed a political alliance. Your Zhenbei City supports the Henry Family as the royal family. The Henry Family recognizes your status and will not restrict the caravan from going to Zhenbei City for trade." Lancelot said sternly.
"Political alliance? If other marquis families start a war, will I go to war with them?" Su Lun asked.
"How is that possible?" Lancelot rolled his eyes: "The change of the royal family in the Kingdom of Florence will not start a war, but it is more for political reasons. After all, the royal family still has a legendary powerhouse. If you do it, Florence will be finished. The surrounding countries will not miss this great opportunity."
"You only need to declare your support for the Henry royal family, and you won't start a war."
"That's it, then I can consider it." Su Lun didn't say anything.
"Okay, but please give us an answer as soon as possible," Lancelot said.
"By the way, Your Excellency Suren, are you not married yet?" Lancelot suddenly remembered something and asked.
Su Lun shook his head: "No."
"That's great. Princess Sophia of the royal family has just come of age this year, and she is very beautiful and has a noble status. If you agree, I can tell His Majesty Henry that Princess Sophia will marry you." Lancelot said excitedly.
Su Lun couldn't help rolling his eyes, this was the beginning of pimping.
"Not good." Su Lun was still very vigilant about the political means of marriage.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, do you want to meet first?" Lancelot continued.
Su Lun didn't let go, and the marriage was put on hold in the end, but looking at Lancelot's expression, he probably didn't give up.
After the two negotiated, they left, and they only reached a cooperation intention for the political alliance. Since the royal family of Henry wanted to use the power of Su Lun, Su Lun would naturally not let it go, and he would not agree without sufficient benefits.
After discussing with Su Lun, Lancelot returned to the barracks, and immediately took out a fist-sized crystal ball. This crystal ball is an expensive sound transmission prop. They are all in contact, and now he is discussing with the royal family about Su Lun.
After all, although Lancelot is the king's favorite, many conditions must be accepted by the king. A crystal ball item is worth about tens of thousands of gold nars, and the number of times it can be used is limited, that is, these big nobles have the money to use it.
After staying here for two days, Su Lun and Lancelot finally discussed various things. Su Lun also agreed to form a political alliance with the Henry royal family. Of course, they also paid a lot of money, such as taxes, Zhenbei City's Caravans trade in Florence and they get the same treatment, for example, the Kingdom of Florence cannot prevent Zhenbei from recruiting refugees in the kingdom, etc.
After the negotiation between the two parties, a formal agreement needs to be signed. The agreement needs to be signed by the king and stamped with a seal. It takes a while. Su Lun did not continue to wait here, and began to return to Zhenbei City with his army.
