Chapter 418 Dorne's massive attack
The next day.
Early in the morning, Mir was immersed in the work of repairing the city.
West coast, port.
The sea surface was rippled, and several three-masted sailboats were moored, their broad sails fluttering in the wind.
On the harbor shore, a team of fearless men in black armor and spears stood upright.
Rhaegar looked calmly as he looked at the hundreds of members of the Second Sub-Regiment in front of him.
"Prince, thank you for your tolerance. We will live up to your trust."
A young man with a silver trout branded on his breastplate has a solemn voice and is full of energy.
Along with him, there were several young knights.
There are beautiful women in gorgeous clothes, common people with wide bodies and fat bodies, and even old slaves in ragged clothes.
Slaves with a family to care for were more stable than slaves who were alone.
The young man from the Tully family nodded vigorously and said with unspeakable seriousness: "Don't worry, we will do our best to convince the head of the family to support it."
The operation of the city-state was basically maintained by slaves, and slaves who married wives and had children were naturally indispensable.
In this way, workers will benefit from being oppressed.
In any free trade city-state, slave owners would enclose land outside the city-state for their own use and plant orchards and farmland.
Rhaegar heard the words, smiled slightly, and warned: "Go back and communicate with old Tully carefully, and clarify the information about the Iron Throne loan."
Rhaegar looked quietly, his purple eyes revealing deep thought.
Rhaegar looked approvingly and said: "The war will not end for a while, you have plenty of time."
Just as he was thinking about it, several figures in different clothes approached.
"very good."
Now that these places of making money are in his hands, there is a lot to be done.
Orchards and farmland are very important and are an integral part of the city-state.
Even a certain number of armor, weapons, and war horses.
These knights' breastplates do not have aristocratic emblems, they are illegitimate or commoner, and they are all proletarian knights.
An alternative labor relationship that changes the way of remuneration.
The old slave's cloudy eyes contained wisdom, and his voice was rich: “There are many proletarians without jobs in the city, and they are happy to help.”
They returned to Westeros on this trip in order to gain support from the family elders and build the territory better and faster.
Among them, thirty second sons of noble backgrounds were granted development orders and enlisted the rest of their lower-born companions to act as helpers.
The waves rolled gently and two large ships sailed out of the harbor.
Without direct payment, workers will not go on strike without authorization and work diligently.
A few people looked humble and quickly lowered their heads.
The Iron Throne sends a manor owner to arrange different farm tasks and obtain equivalent points.
Fatty Sandra had a straight face and said positively: "Yes, Prince, I will restore order in the manor soon."
Rega's ears twitched slightly and he turned his head to stare at a few people.
The ratio of commoners to slaves in Myr is as high as 1/3.
Interrogations of executed slave owners revealed that these places yielded large harvests every year.
As he spoke, he looked at the hundreds of other members of the Second Sub-Regiment and gave the same instructions.
To open up a territory, the Iron Throne's financial supply alone is not enough.
Rhaegar stared at the fat middle-aged man with dark eyes and said, "Sandra, clean up the manor outside the city and rearrange the work of the proletarians."
However, it seems that it is not enough.
Either a knight in the family, or an experienced farmer, blacksmith, or craftsman.
After each harvest, points are given to workers in exchange for materials or money.
Ensure the normal operation of farming in a season.
With these things, you can be considered a qualified lord.
Rhaegar nodded, looked at the old slave again, looked at the weathered old face, and said: "They are indispensable when selecting proletarians with families and families, whether it is manor or land reclamation."
In the past, slave owners controlled and enslaved slaves for farming.
He considered changing the system of the estate.
The issuance of the Development Order was a good way to solve the problem of overpopulation of slaves and the development of disputed land.
Rhaegar thought to himself.
After a few words of greeting, hundreds of members of the second group looked grateful, beat their chests in unison, saluted, and boarded the ship flying the three red dragon flags.
He was a wise man among the slaves, proficient in several languages, astronomy, and medicine, and was elected as one of the slave representatives.
After the representatives of the common people and slaves asked questions, it was the turn of the representatives of the old aristocracy.
The beautiful woman is called Ms. Carr, with dark olive skin and **** red lips. She consciously reported: "Several bankers have set off to Braavos to look for iron bank loans."
“How much can I borrow?”
Rhaegar didn't know much about this.
Karl blinked his beautiful eyes and thought: "It is about twice the amount of their own bank savings. The merchants in Braavos are not stupid. The Myr bankers can probably only borrow so much."
The Iron Bank has been famous for a long time, and even ancient Valyria before the Doomsday did business with it.
They dare to lend money to hostile forces that are at war because they are confident enough that the other side does not dare not pay it back.
However, this does not mean that you will borrow money without any scruples. Demonstrating your ability to repay is the top priority.
Hearing this, Rega thought for a moment and said with a smile, "That's enough. The money stored in several banks is not a small amount."
The savings in any bank are as good as the treasury saved by my great-grandfather and father for decades.
Borrowing such a large amount of money will not only be enough to develop the disputed land, but also alleviate the losses of building the Stone Steps Islands and repairing Myr and Lys.
Rega continued: "The loan period can be as long as it takes, and it is best to set it at a maximum of 60 years."
The loan period of the Iron Bank is up to 60 years.
When great-grandfather Jaehaerys was building the Kingdom Road, he borrowed a large loan for 60 years, and it was paid off in the last ten years.
However, Rhaegar had no intention of paying it back.
Karl's expression changed slightly, and he kindly reminded: "Prince, the power of the Iron Bank is no small matter."
Having money can make the devil grind the mill.
The wealth of the Iron Bank is so great that it can be used to push away ghosts.
With so much money, he could even mobilize half of Essos to counterattack and demand payment. Rhaegar's eyes flashed slightly and he couldn't help laughing: "The Targaryen dragon has once again set foot on the land of Essos, do you think I will care?"
Repayment?
Unless Braavos changes to the Sea King and changes from being hostile to being close to the Iron Throne.
Otherwise, never expect to get back half a bronze star!
Karl's eyes dimmed and he said no more.
Businessmen are not suitable for fighting and killing.
“Prince, there is news about the prince's palace!”
As he was talking, Gray Worm hurried over with a team, looking slightly anxious.
Rhaegar looked serious and stepped forward to take the letter.
The red paint inkpad is a roaring lion, and the sender is Tyran Lannister.
Rhaegar opened the envelope and read it carefully.
Taylan lived in the prince's palace for a long time and was his spy in the Dorne borderlands.
At the time of Dorne's invasion of the Stormlands, trouble could easily occur in the Vulture Mountains.
The letter was written in Tailan's meticulous handwriting.
【There is a strange movement in the Vulture Mountains, a large number of insurgents are pouring in, and they are invading towards the Bone Road and Prince's Pass...】
In addition, write about the recent developments in Sunspear.
A small fleet from Braavos crossed the Narrow Sea, broke through the patrol ships on the Stepstone Islands, and provided a large number of mercenaries to land.
Rhaegar read the letter and exhaled: "Dorne is going to take action for real."
In terms of strategy, the Stepstone Islands should send troops to block the sea area in the direction of Sunspear City and prevent the fleet support from Braavos.
However, the Stepped Stone Islands are empty of troops, and their maritime power is accumulated in the disputed areas where the three city-states are located.
It is simply impossible to implement a comprehensive blockade with day and night patrols, there are always gaps.
Blavski took advantage of this, and small fleets of ships moved around to provide aid to Sunspear.
Rhaegar thought over and over again and told Gray Worm: "Myr is on the right track. Just maintain order. Remember to remind Rhaenys and Daemon to be careful of a sneak attack from Braavos."
Jenny's letter said that it was a sneak attack on Pentos. Who knows if it will be transferred to Myr.
To attack from the east and attack from the west, a blitzkrieg...
are all his common tricks.
Gray Worm nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Prince."
Lega's eyes flashed and he left the port.
At this time, the disadvantages of attacking the Three Women Kingdom across the sea became apparent.
Reinforcements are time-consuming, the troops are scattered, and the rear is unstable.
Fortunately, the three city-states are all stable and can spare their hands to support the rear.
at the same time.
Stormland, east coast.
“Hiss…”
The pale silver dragon soars into the sky, passing through the thin clouds.
Below, there is an endless ocean of waves.
On the beach, the sand sparkles with gold, and the tide carries crabs and shellfish ashore.
Two figures walked side by side, walking in the morning sun.
Lannino looked melancholy and said helplessly: "It has been so many days, and Imond still hasn't sent out troops."
“The Siwen family has offended him.”
Cole lowered his head and replied casually.
Stepping on the sand with his bare feet, the cool touch could not cheer him up.
Lanino looked up to the sky and sighed, complaining: "This is a battlefield, not a child's play. He will get into trouble if he does this."
Cole was nonchalant and said casually: "I am a prince, I have a king, and I have the willpower."
“Cole, are you listening to what I'm saying?”
Lanino was very surprised. This was not something that his gentle companion could say in the past.
Cole's face fell, and he reacted and defended: "I mean, the Dornish people are vulnerable, and our victory will be sooner or later."
Speaks very quickly, but the words are not convincing.
Lanino frowned and didn't pursue the matter further.
He saw that his partner was too distracted to talk about the battlefield.
Sighing in my heart, let's continue to relax.
For a while, the two people chatting about everything were deserted.
Long time.
Cole stopped and hesitated: "Lanino, how are you and Celine?"
He paused and said in a low voice: "Lord Collis attaches great importance to heirs. He should urge you to multiply heirs."
“Celine? Why do you ask about this?”
Lanino was stunned when he heard this.
Celine Celtija, the wife he married at the end of last year.
Not long ago, Celine's father Bartimus, Count of Crab Island, smuggled goods and was sentenced to death by the Iron Throne. He even wrote a letter asking him to intercede.
Col said nothing, waiting for an answer.
Lanino was extremely depressed and said with a wry smile: "If I could see my wife being as strong as I see you, I would have had children long ago."
Cole's eyes flashed and he said: "I see that I have been out a lot recently, so I thought I was returning to Chaotou Island."
"No! My brother, you are mistaken."
Lagnino denied it with a smile.
“Then where have you been?”
Cole raised his head and asked directly.
Lanino's smile faltered, his eyes averted, and he explained: “There are always people asking me to drink, and I can't refuse.”
