Chapter 495 La Cunho’s Analysis
“Stop it, Charles, there are knights protesting outside.”
Closing the window of the watchtower, La Cunho said earnestly Prince Condai said.
"What are you afraid of? The money for the war has not been collected yet. Now that I am scared, they think I am afraid." Prince Kong Dai snorted and said disdainfully.
Listening to the shouts outside the window, La Cunho shook his head.
He knew that with Charles's character, no amount of persuasion would be of any use.
He did not do any more useless work, but continued to talk about the topic in this small study: "In addition to military resources, our next focus is Kasha County in the south."
“A lot of castles have been built in Kasha County during this period. If there is still something to say about the early-year attack, it’s already October, so why fight?” Prince Condai also learned a lot about the situation in Kasha County. .
"Shut up first and let me analyze it for you."
Racunho is not a good-tempered person. He was interrupted over and over again and became angry.
Especially on such a critical matter, being the leader of the group for so many years has its own majesty.
Prince Kong Dai choked and closed his mouth angrily.
"The lancers you build are just for food. It's a bit rough, but you do it. After all, you can quickly raise military resources.
As long as we can win, these are minutiae and trivial matters. The question is how to win? "
"I will attack the north, and the Osla family's army will attack the south, and then we will adapt accordingly." Prince Kongdai said, this is his usual approach.
When the Pope was here, if there was anything that required his action, the Pope would propose the target, Prince Condai would propose the idea, and Mizam would propose the plan, which would then cooperate with the local army.
Now that both Mizam and the Pope are dead, there are problems in strategy and implementation, and only Prince Condai's tactics are left.
"The general direction is correct, but the small direction is a mess." Lacunio shook his head helplessly and took out a map from behind.
He knew very well that Prince Kong Dai came from a young age and did not receive much education when he was young. He had always been trained as a brave general.
Ask Prince Condai how to charge in battle, how to control the marching speed, and how to detect the enemy's intentions. He is a good expert.
Ask him about grand strategy, and he can only be like Aba Aba now.
“At present, the main uprising forces in the Thousand River Valley are divided into two groups, the Horn Salvation Army in the south and the Duke Meliaty Army in the north.
Meliati in the north has been operating for a long time. There are almost no loopholes inside, and it is difficult to separate them. You are correct that they are the main enemy. "
But your behavior of actively attacking them is not necessarily correct.
It’s just that La Cunho didn’t say this half of the sentence. Prince Condai was in trouble, and it was not something that could be changed easily.
Based on the necessity of attacking the north, Racunho had roughly figured out the next plan after a month of investigation and planning.
“Since the North must attack, it must think about how to suppress the uncertainty in the South. We need them to be internally chaotic.
The Southern Salvation Army seems to be integrated, but in fact it consists of four It is composed of merchants and citizens of Rapid City, the Salvation Army headquarters of Daze Township, the Kush Knights of Jinhe Township, and the Blago Monastery of Kasha County.
Basically, they are the basic base of the Juannos and the Holy Doctrine. < br>
As soon as the Juannos and the Saints came from the same sect, the biggest difference was their attitude towards the nobility and the land
The Juanoists advocated the return of church property to the public, with no increase in fixed taxes, that is, the church's land would be returned to the public and a fixed tax would be charged for each acre of land. The specific amount would be negotiated between the church and the lords on behalf of the people.
The Holy Path sect is even more radical. They implement [the Holy Father directly controls, the nobles are useless], that is, depriving all religious and secular nobles of their status and power.
In other words, the knight converted to the Juannos. Although he lost part of his land, he could still retain the knight's title. If a knight converts to the Holy Doctrine, he will lose his title and can only keep part of his land. If he resists, he will even be arrested and hanged.
The first three were tempered in the war. It is difficult for us to divide, but the Brago Monastery is different. He is the only one who unites peacefully.
The Shadowless Man has investigated and found that the attitude within the Brago Monastery towards the Salvation Army and the church is a bit ambiguous. To be precise, the Salvation Army's large-scale land distribution scared them.
The Brago Monastery is a monastic system, and there are also some Juanno religious nobility inside, not to mention the secular nobility.
Their main goal is to break the invisible promotion ceiling within the existing system, not to break the existing system.
After the Battle of Rapids City, the Salvation Army grew in strength. With the power of the two wars, it even sent troops to garrison Koike City, an important city in Kasha County.
For their own safety, they will allow Dean Ludwick to visit the Salvation Army in an attempt to consolidate the alliance.
Horn, who was born as a farmer, is a rare genius. If he had not rebelled but chosen to join the church, he would probably have been able to become a cardinal... What a pity... Oh, I am off topic...
That Horn summoned Dean Ludwick at this time, I think he probably saw this.
I think based on the one-land-one-system he established in the territory of the Salvation Army and the methods he used against the Kush Knights, he should be able to come up with some kind of one-army-three-system system to temporarily appease the Brago Monastery.
It’s not that it will be too late by then, but it will be much more difficult then. "
Prince Condai was sitting on an armchair, his eyes as clear as a primary school student: "Huh? ”
Racunho took a deep breath and touched the bottom of his nose: "Do you know what to do?"
"Win over the Kasha County." Prince Condai smacked his lips once, but still gave a The answer is that he is not stupid, but he just can't see the overall situation. "But what can we do to win them over?"
"Satisfy the requirements of their Juano faction? Rehabilitate Juano and allow Isn’t it nice to think that the religious property of Caxia County should be returned to the public and be exempted from taxes?" La Cunho said a lot casually.
“Won’t this anger the church?”
“You originally maintained your relationship with the church because you were afraid of becoming a standout and reminding other nobles of your status as a former royal family. For you.
During the Leian Civil War, the church was already divided, the military and financial power were divided, and its power was greatly reduced.
Other nobles are trapped in the civil war, and with the Osla family as their backers, why do you want to be friends with the church?
Mizam is somewhat useful. I don’t know how you got the old Duke of Ormes to support you, but that old guy is not the one who suffers the consequences. He should have some conditions.
No matter what the conditions are, you can give him as much as he wants. ”
As Prince Condé nodded pretending to be profound, La Cunho stretched out two fingers:
"You just have to do two things.
First, marry the Osla family and take the opportunity to establish an alliance.
Second, send out all the demon hunters. Use both soft and hard methods to tell them that we are willing to give them autonomy, taxation, army...
They will take care of everything by themselves, and vow not to use troops on the land of Kasha County. The Salvation Army cannot provide it. This condition.
The only requirement is to remain neutral in the war and grant us military access..."
"Then we take the opportunity to destroy them?" Prince Kong Dai asked enthusiastically.
"When you are a king, you must speak the truth." La Cunho said with his eyes widened, "Only in this way will your words be influential, and the right of passage is the right of passage."
Condai The prince stretched his figure and nodded blankly.
This kid, who has been away for half his life, still looks like he was born when he comes back. Racunio rubbed his forehead:
“We don’t ask for the immediate surrender of Kasha County, but as long as it is in chaos , the defense line of the Salvation Army bandits suddenly doubled, and we even had the opportunity to contact the Kush Knights.”
Picking up a piece of charcoal in his hand, La Cunho drew a black line along the Ibe River:
"By then, the Salvation Army will lose the remaining power to attack and can only defend, and the south will not be able to move. The war in the north will be easy to fight.”
