Chapter 770 The big bell rang
"Mr. Jiganon, why did he suddenly come here today?" Opening the door, Horn naturally showed his social skills and hugged Jiganon.
Giganon wanted to kiss Horn in the face according to flange etiquette, but Horn avoided it.
Giganon smiled pursed his lips and said, "His Excellency Horn, I want to inform you of good news. My king has officially passed your national debt approval."
"It's so fast?" Horn was quite surprised. It was only twenty days before September passed, and he actually agreed.
Jiganon drew a lemon on his forehead: "His Royal Highness was marching and hunting recently, just near Hongye Hill.
Your request was only a week before you could reach His Royal Highness. Your nobles were kind and approved on the spot.
To show their loyalty, the local nobles in Hongye Hill bought them in large quantities.
It is said that they bought nearly 60,000 pounds on the spot, and His Royal Highness generously donated money and directly purchased more than 40,000 pounds of bonds, making up for you."
Although Jiganon seemed to be ordinary when he spoke, Horn still identified it as the Spring and Autumn style at a glance.
The truth that was restored should be:
Charles VIII inspected the troops from all over the country in the name of parade and hunting.
This is probably to prepare for the attack on the windmill.
The letter from Horn happened to be delivered, and Charles VIII simply led the army and forced the local nobles to use money to support Horn.
Firstly, weaken the strength of the Hongyeqiu nobles and prevent the manor nobles from causing trouble in the rear during the war.
Secondly, it can also support Horn, indirectly attack the flange people, and strive for strategic advantages when attacking flange on the battlefield.
Thirdly, even if Horn lost, with these bonds, Charles VIII had reason to intervene in the Thousand River Valley affairs.
The bitter one is bitter and the nobles of Hongyeqiu are criticized by the Lea people, and they are like three birds with one stone. "That's great." Horn couldn't help but clapped his hands. With the money delivered, his rescue plan finally started. "This is the first batch of bonds." Jiganon smiled, "In order to support your war, His Highness the King has also encouraged other manor nobles to buy it, and he will have another 100,000 pounds next year."
I have to say that the Holy Couplet and Thousand Rivers Valley have developed to this day, I really have to thank this King Charles VIII.
This man has sent hundreds of thousands of pounds of explicit and implicit benefits to the Holy Union, and has worked very hard.
Why are you a little too hard? After Horn calmed down, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He stared at Jiganon, who was smiling: "Is it the king or the prime minister? Do you have any news to me?"
"Hahaha, no wonder Prime Minister Lorenzo often commented on you, 'We have a little bit of harmony'." Jiganon handed a letter to Horn.
Horn even breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was Prime Minister Lorenzo's letter.
He had passed letters with Charles VIII before, but the king felt that it was not right.
Always write weird words like "I am such a man" and "You can beat Lea, I don't know how to love you", which makes Horn always shudder.
The moment when I unfolded the letter, Lorenzo was different from Charles VIII, and his unique cold and spicy pen tip came to me:
"To the clock craftsman in the Thousand Rivers Valley:
Your proposal to apply for a national debt from our country is believed to have agreed to King Charles VIII.
If Lea attacks, it is naturally best for you to resist, and subsequent assistance will continue to arrive.
I know you imitated my spy and formed a spy organization called Chika.
Perhaps we can build alliance trust by sharing intelligence, which will be the first step.
In the end, my little bird gave a message, which I believe will help you.
After defeating Duke Nedbach, although King Guinigis himself was still on Dawn Island, his royal guards and 12 Imperial Orders had arrived in Xianshidian recently.
I hope you can be careful.
Your friendly collaborator Lorenzo. "
The chief guard of the royal family should be the man named Ravl.
Armann mentioned this person by intelligence collected from the windmill.
Although he is just a royal guard commander and seems to have a low official position, his position is actually similar to the kingdom commander of the Flan Kingdom.
The commander of the guards was the all-elite infantry king guard directly under the king, with a total of about 7,500 people.
Unlike the Imperial Corps, the King's Guard is usually led by the King himself.
This army was the army created by the former King of Lea after winning the Battle of Windmill and still losing, imitating the Dunjar phalanx.
In the civil war, Ginnigis even removed the drought and preserved the most elite part of this army.
Generally speaking, wherever the royal guards are, the King’s Guards are.
So after defeating Nedbach, Ginnigis did not return to his hometown or attack the windmill, but instead placed his elite troops in Xianshidian?
Wait, a drop of cold sweat broke out on Horn's forehead. The Duke of Wing Nest at Innocent Dam was suddenly excavated.
Some of the returned Xianshidian army.
The rumor of Meliati's identity came from in Hotam County.
The riot broke out inexplicably.
The Plain School nobles were desperately connected and troubled.
And the flange quickly approved the loan he hoped to borrow.
Charles VIII even paid out of his own pocket and gave Horn forty thousand pounds.
Horn began to feel a little unable to sit still, and Jiganon opposite stood up obediently: "I have reported the situation, please do whatever you want."
…………
Hone's fingers lashed rapidly on the table decorated with gilded gears, and the ticking of the brass clock and the heartbeat resonated in the room.
When Martin spread the sheepskin map, Katherine had marked the riot area in County Hotam with red and blue ink.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
"In three days, riots broke out in seven towns, which was by no means spontaneous by refugees." Inserting the Dick golden pen into the ink bottle, dark clouds brewed between Catherine's eyebrows and eyes.
Martin's knuckles hit hard at the capital of Hotam County: "The rioters accurately burned three military granaries, and the monks of the Holy Dao Sect were cut off their throats - Damn, why are we just reacting now?!"
"Who could have thought that Ginnigis would abandon the windmill and attack the Thousand Rivers Valley? The Thorn Garden should be ahead of us." Catherine grabbed her scalp and grabbed her hair in a mess.
Horn sat on the sofa, with no expression on his face.
Through this information, Ginnigis's actions were about to emerge.
First, he reached an agreement with the Duke of Wingchas to carry out land replacement and ordered him to dig the dam and release the flood.
Then he attacked Duke Nedbach, secretly transferring his troops while auctioning the land estate to raise military expenses.
Finally, spies such as the Demon Hunter and Shadowless Man were transported into the Thousand River Valley in batches and multiple times.
The gravel original man deliberately provoked and lured Moriyati to attack.
Then the dam was used to "flee away" Meliati's influence and control, and relieve the fear of the nobles of the Thousand River Valley.
Then, through the influence of the aristocratic group, conflicts were expanded, frictions were provoked, and riots were triggered.
What's next step is already obvious. "Lea is very likely to have invaded the past few years or even recently." After Horn said this, both of them who were in the heated discussion calmed down.
It seems as if the broken light and dust flying in the sun have calmed down.
The Lea people are going to invade, not next June, not next April, but this year, and even recently.
Both Martin and Catherine felt their throats itchy, as if they were blocked by something.
This moment of stillness was broken by the knock on the door. "Uncle Crown, Commissioner Chika is visiting." The Privy monk poked his head out from behind the door. "Let him come in."
Teacher Cheka, wearing a black uniform, walked into the room like a hound, and quickly came to Horn's ear.
"We must remind Herman." Martin said to Catherine as if she had woken up in her dream.
Katherine's eyes were completely focused on Horn's face.
Katherine noticed that the Patriarch's pupils suddenly contracted - this was the first time she had seen such a reaction since she knew Horn.
Seeing Catherine ignored him, Martin turned around and said to Horn, "Crown, we must remind Herman."
Take a deep breath, Horn pulled open the buttons on the collar: "It's too late."
"It's too late... what does it mean?"
"Last night, the defenders of Shiphand Castle and Iron Helmet Castle mutiny.
Under the leadership of the noble adjutant, several knights killed the city lord and the priests of the army, surrendered to the twelve orders from Xianshidian..."
Horn's throat rolled hard, and he stood up, walked to the counter, poured himself a glass of pine nut for the first time.
"Now the vanguard troops of the Lea people are less than twenty miles away from Tiezhamen Town."
The big clockwork at the bottom of Uffizi Palace suddenly rang.
