king.

Chapter 475 Roll Up

The turmoil of establishing a separate Holy See was over, and Caesar IV completed the canonization of nobles as quickly as possible, and then sent all the lords home on the grounds that the construction of the Near East was "tight time and heavy tasks".

In Hudson's view, this is purely a guilty conscience.

Behind the back of the nobles in the country, they got a big cake from the Moxi people, and it would be difficult to deal with it if they were discovered.

The best choice is to send all the lords back to the fief first, and when everyone receives the news, an established fact has already been created.

The newly added territory is the queen's dowry. Although the area is too large, there is a precedent for marrying a daughter to give a fief in the Aslant continent.

The question is: Moxi's royal pride!

On the surface, this is a simple dowry, and there is no insider trading.

Under the monarch-minister relationship system, even if it is a shareholding system, the king still has a greater say in politics than the local lords.

As long as the king plays according to the rules of the game and does not get caught, even if everyone has doubts in their hearts, they can only admit it by pinching their noses.

Without any delay, after Hudson resigned from the military, he handed over the command to the Military Affairs Department as quickly as possible, and then returned directly to the territory.

The established strategic goals have been achieved, there is really no need to stay in the capital to be annoying.

The proposal of the Near Eastern Protectorate was not approved, but because of the lack of core leadership in the Near Eastern provinces, he, the frontline governor, still had to manage military and political affairs on his behalf.

This escrow is not operated by Hudson, but proposed by the small and medium-sized nobles below.

It's uncomfortable to be controlled by others, but if no one is restrained above, no one will control the orcs when they come.

After reporting to the king's capital layer by layer, after going through a round of procedures, they will not even be able to keep up with collecting their bodies.

Caesar IV hesitated in his heart, but all the high-level officials in the kingdom expressed their support, and the king could not go against everyone.

After all, frontline defense needs to be presided over by someone, and there are vacancies for the governors of the six provinces. The kingdom cannot appoint airborne troops, right?

If you really want to do that, you must equip the governor with a guard.With the current situation in the Near East, a standing army is the most basic.

The six governors of the airborne troops will send six additional regiments there, and they will also arrange for a brigade of master escorts to accompany them.

The local nobles do not object, but the kingdom's finances can't stand it!

According to the previous plan, the permanent army in the Near East is 20, and if an additional 6 are added, the kingdom can only expand its standing army.

After all, the country also needs troops to stay behind. Even if the western and southern fronts are not a big threat for the time being, one or two legions should be stationed symbolically.

……

After finishing his tough military life and returning to the territory, Hudson felt refreshed.

After going out for a while and returning, his son was able to walk around the Lord's Mansion with small steps.

Perhaps because of the blood connection, after being hugged by Hudson, the little guy didn't recognize his birth at all, and his eyes kept rolling curiously.

"Hudson, can you give up the title of Duke Xueyue?

The Near East is really too dangerous, so many nobles in the kingdom can’t avoid it, you still..."

Before she could finish her complaints, Melissa's tears fell.

With children, the perspective of seeing things will inevitably change.

From Melissa's point of view, the mountain territory's foundation is already big enough, and there is no need to go out to take risks.

Unlike before, the mountainous territory at this moment has changed drastically.The influx of a large number of immigrants has made this land prosperous all of a sudden.

Sitting on tens of millions of acres of fertile land, and ruling more than 150 million people, he is a great vassal in the entire continent.

Even if the strength of the family is holding back, Hudson is still the number one nobleman in the entire kingdom.

"Someone whispered something in your ear!"

"Melissa, you should know that people can't help themselves in the aristocratic circle.

No one thought that the countries in the middle mainland would be so wasteful, and they would lose so simply, giving up a large area of ​​land to a foreign race.

The Continental War is over, but the strategic situation that the kingdom is now facing has become more and more passive.

The development of the Near East has become the only option for the kingdom to break out of the encirclement strategy. This is not only an expansion, but also the key to gathering the confidence of the whole kingdom.

Just like the Moxie resisted pressure from all sides and forcibly annexed the Warhammer Kingdom, we have no choice.

The more this kind of moment is, the more we must take the initiative to attack, so that the people of the country can see the hope of defeating the alien race.

Once the Near East strategy fails, the entire Northern Continent will be at risk of falling, and the mountain leaders should not be left alone.

After all, it is better to take this step and hold your destiny in your own hands than to let others accept it passively.

Besides, things weren't that bad.No matter how deteriorating the situation is, it is nothing more than losing troops and losing generals. Can the orcs still keep me? "

Hudson said confidently.

The most important factor in daring to wade through the muddy waters of the Near East is personal safety.

Anyway, developing the Near East does not mean giving up the mountainous territory, and he will not bring his family and so on.

Not only did he not bring his family members, but even the nobles who were enshrined in the Near East, he did not recommend bringing family members.

At least until the construction of the Near East line of defense is completed, there is no need to bring these burdens over.

Without the constraints of his family, Hudson can play freely.When he was in a hurry, he gave up the city and ran to the prairie to play house-swapping games with the orcs.

You don't need to target all the orc tribes, just catch the orc royal tribe and beat them hard.

With the lessons learned from the Beamon family, Hudson does not believe that the orc royal family is not afraid.

It was another round of chaos to beat up a royal family.

Although the current orc prairie has not reached the point of bloodshed, the battle for the position of the royal family has already begun.

The situation has developed to this point, and the five royal families can't even stick together.The Beamon clan, whose strength has declined sharply and suffered a heavy population loss, is now having difficulty even controlling the vassal races under their command.

Many small and medium Beamon tribes quietly disappeared on the prairie due to various accidents.

If it hadn't been for the reaction of Alex Bimeng quickly enough to announce his renunciation of the royal position in time, I am afraid that this kind of "accident" will become the norm.

The other four tribes also thought about Rabbimon, but their own situation is not very good.The continuous failures on the battlefield have finally affected the foundation of the rule.

When the royal family does not have the strength to overwhelm other clans, the royal family is no longer the royal family.At this moment, the various clans jumped out to compete for the position of the royal family, which was also deliberately done by the other four royal families.

Contradictions that have been forcibly suppressed by force will explode once the advantage of force no longer exists.

If we don't take the opportunity to lead the various tribes to fight each other and consume their strength, maybe the final spearhead will be directed at the entire orc royal family.

There is no doubt that the Alpha Kingdom, as a good neighbor, also secretly helped them.

The smuggling caravans on the border have become active, providing all kinds of assistance to all parties involved in the internal strife.

If it wasn't for the fact that the racial differences were not too great, it was inconvenient for people to mix directly into the orc empire, and they could only operate by buying spies, I am afraid that the internal fighting would have turned into a civil war long ago.

Anyone can see the problem, but everyone uses Yangmou.There is a vacant seat in the royal family, who can not be greedy?

It is indeed possible for the four royal families to intervene with all their strength to quell the dispute, but it is also possible to push themselves into the endless abyss.

Don't provoke the racial infighting below, vent out the resentment in your heart, or they will unite to rebel against them.

For their own safety, the best choice is to add fuel to the flames, sit back and watch the major races fight among themselves, and decide a new royal family, and then everyone will continue to play the previous five royal families to rule together.

"I know you are powerful, but you have no eyes on the battlefield. In case of any accident, what will you let us orphans and widows do?"

Melissa said angrily.

No kidding, if there is no Hudson, the Koslow family will be divided up in a few decades.

The legacy of prestige he left behind lasted at most ten years.When the army that followed him in the South and North Wars gets old, everyone will not be polite.

"Don't worry, there won't be such a day. What's more, I have prepared a backup, and I really encountered the worst situation, and you will be fine!"

Hudson said calmly.

Seemingly aware of something, Bear Stearns rushed out from behind, hugged the bear's paw and watched the show aside.

Immediately afterwards, the miniature version of Maxim also appeared in Hudson's sight, waving his paws at him, as if saying:
"Don't worry, I will take care of your wife, children and children, as long as you keep your treasure."

The funny scene made Hudson's face turn livid in an instant.

The slap in the face came too fast, the loyalty of the ruffian dragon is there, but the proportion of anti-bone is too high.

The situation of the unscrupulous bear is better, but he is still waiting for him to make a fool of himself. Looking at the photo stones scattered around, he knows that Bear Stearns is collecting dirty information about Master Hudson again.

A funny scene appeared, and Melissa's nervous expression eased a lot.

There are two powerful sanctuary guards, as long as Hudson doesn't die himself, basically he can't die.

On the surface, the elves with the largest number of sanctuary powerhouses, there are only four sanctuaries plus a one-horned holy beast, so they can't come together to ambush him!

What's more, even if it is an ambush, it may not be successful.Failure to win does not mean failure to run.

Hudson is very clear about the nature of his own mount.

There is no dead knock, if you really sense danger, you don't need his order, you will take him away immediately.

The episode ended, but Hudson's sense of crisis came up.There is no danger under normal circumstances, but there are abnormal situations.

With the continuous improvement of status, more and more people want his life.Whether mental arithmetic or not, Hudson can't guarantee that he can pass the test every time.

"Strength" is still not enough. If his own strength is also the sanctuary, it is estimated that no one will have such an idea.

It's a pity that Hudson's training time is too short. Even with the help of the mysterious compass, both knights and magic still stay at the sixth level. (Golden Knight/Grand Sorcerer)

It is difficult to make a qualitative breakthrough in one's own strength in the short term, even if you enter the seventh or eighth level, it will not affect anything.Then we can only hope that Long and Xiong can work harder and break through the second level of Sanctuary as soon as possible.

Immediately, Hudson dismissed this unreliable idea, his own practice was compromised, and Bear Stearns and Maxim's were even more compromised.

A road that took hundreds of years to complete was completed in just a few years.The blessing brought by the bloodline is exhausted, and the rest is up to oneself to comprehend.

If it's easy, you can't add the word "Wang" after it.Whether it is the Dragon King or the Bear King, they are all cherished animals.

The Dragon Clan is better, at least there is a Dragon King in the Clan, and Bear Stearns doesn't even know if there is a living Bear King in the Earth Bear Clan.

After resting at home for a few days, Hudson began to deal with the backlog of government affairs in the territory.It is said to be dealt with, but in fact it is just to look through it, whether it should be done or not, it has already happened anyway.

During the war, a large number of immigrants poured in, various emergencies emerged one after another, and Hudson was commanding the army on the front line to fight, so it was impossible to wait for him to make decisions.

There must be problems, but judging from the overall development of the territory, the management is still qualified, and his training over the years is not in vain.

Of course, the smooth operation of the Mountain Territory is mainly due to the system created by Hudson.

Everything has formed regulations, as long as the management is not too overwhelmed, it can be handled according to the previous regulations.

Even in the event of an emergency, you can refer to the emergency plan and take temporary measures to deal with it.

Regardless of whether the handling is good or bad, the problem has always been dealt with without causing major consequences.

……

"I have read all the documents. In the past year, everyone has done well. Although there have been a series of problems, the overall performance is still qualified.

I have recorded all the credit, and now the most important task for everyone is to formulate a development plan for the Near East.

By the way, when I was in the royal capital, I paid a lot of money to buy the royal family's territory in the southeastern province. Jacob, take someone there to take it over. "

Hudson nonchalantly said.

It is naturally impossible to buy a territory.The Alpha royal family is in its heyday, and it is not yet time to sell the ancestral foundation.

If it is a bad place like the Near East, if you spend a little more money, maybe the royal family can sell a few knight collars.

The royal family of the southeast province, which can generate a large amount of income every year, is a core asset for family heirlooms, and it is definitely not something that can be bought with money.

If anyone believes it, he will go to buy land from Caesar IV in a stupid way, and he can definitely experience for himself what the iron fist of the royal family is.

Nonsense is better than no reason.For no reason, why did the royal family gift him such a large fortune?
This kind of thing cannot stand verification.It is better to give a nonsense explanation earlier than to drag him out when everyone discovers the deal between the royal family and the Mosi people.

Dare to participate, Hudson is ready to be exposed.Anyway, in the Near East strategy, he is playing an irreplaceable role. Even if everyone knows about it, they will only curse a few words.

Maybe deep down in their hearts, everyone still admires him and Caesar IV for being able to toss.Perhaps when teaching their children in the next few years, they will become "other people's children" together.

However, it is also leaking secrets, so it also needs to pay attention to skills.Since Caesar IV took a bigger cake, he should attract more firepower.

They are all their own people, even though their hearts are full of doubts, everyone still forcibly suppresses their curiosity.

When getting involved in politics, the most important thing is to gather curiosity, and you must never know what you shouldn't know.

"Yes, Duke!"

Jacob replied immediately.

Everyone is eating in the same pot, regardless of how this piece of royal collar fell into the hands of their master, it is a good thing for everyone present.

The stronger the territory, the brighter the future for those who are attached to Hudson.

Simply calculating the area of ​​the territory, the mountainous territory + Xueyue territory can catch up with a small principality.

The population is slightly less, but Hudson has spent all his money to buy it.The current Harmony Ripening Potion is a hard currency on the mainland, even among foreign races, it has a lot of fame.

If it wasn't for Hudson's fear of causing unnecessary trouble, he deliberately controlled the shipment volume and further diluted the concentration so that the effect was similar to the best ripening potion on the market, and he would have earned even more.

People are always more willing to believe in the problem of declining drug efficacy within the scope of their cognition. The official explanation given by Hudson is: the precious medicinal materials are used up, and now they are using substitutes.

This explanation has been approved by more than [-]% of the alchemy masters on the mainland.They are all people at the top of the pyramid, how can they admit that they are not as good as the newcomers who have just emerged?
It must be a problem with the medicinal materials!

Even if it is for the annual research and development funds, it still needs to be fooled.As for the Harmony Ripening Potion, it has already been deciphered by everyone, but they just tacitly pretended to be confused.

Masters of magic potions all know that the effect of Ha's potion comes from the easy-to-absorb unclaimed energy. Maybe how the energy is generated, everyone can't figure it out.

Purifying energy from magic crystals, and then artificially instilling potions from the outside world, is against the laws of magic.

All of them were led to look for energy sources. It is said that some people spent a lot of money to make dragon dung and bear urine for experiments...

Then the tragedy began. The effect of Hastelloy's medicine was not seen, but the side effects were quite a bit.

……

For the sake of the Near East strategy, the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom were once again forced to roll up.

Even if it was only the second son and collateral son who passed this time, the actual investment of the major nobles is still not small.

High risks are often accompanied by high returns. It is not enough for everyone to devote all their efforts to taking risks, but it is still a gamble to invest [-] to [-] percent of their strength in trying.

This confidence is largely due to Hudson's record.Fighting the orc Master Ha has never suffered a loss, as long as you start fighting, it is nothing more than a question of how much you win.

Seeing that Hudson is taking more and more possessions in the Near East, everyone thinks that he is full of confidence, and everyone has the idea of ​​​​success in case.

With the help of aides, a group of great nobles with good political acumen realized that the Near East strategy might lead to a major reshuffle of the kingdom's major factions.

If it is just to gain a firm foothold, then business as usual will not have much impact on everyone.But if the Near East is developed, it will sound the horn of the kingdom's strategic counterattack.

If you succeed once, you may succeed a second time.Whoever seizes the opportunity will take the initiative in the future political game of the kingdom.

Everyone said that they didn't care about the position of governor, but secretly they were all gearing up, waiting for an opportunity to seize power.

The children of the big nobles took the lead in opening the book, directly confusing the middle and small nobles.The asymmetry of the information gap directly affects everyone's judgment.

According to everyone's past experience, if you don't know exactly what happened, it's right to learn from the great nobles.

Even if it is a mistake, it is because everyone made a mistake together, which means that everyone did not make a mistake.

If the small and medium-sized nobles who do not have a sufficient fault tolerance rate do not follow up in time, once they make a mistake in judgment, they are likely to be out of the game directly.

As a new upstart, the prosperous Koslow family has been very lively recently.

This is the first generation to make a fortune. In the past, the relationship between relatives and friends has not been broken because of the gap in status.

Those who should visit the door should visit, and those who should walk continue to walk.Because of Hudson's special status, it is often inconvenient to show up, but he sent representatives to perform the necessary etiquette in interpersonal communication.

In such emergencies, it's time for personal connections to play a role.These days, there are naturally an endless stream of people who come to inquire about the news.

"Father, they didn't just come here to inquire about the news, did they?"

Hudson asked with a smile.

Without the title on his body, Redman lived a more carefree life.A title is both an honor and an obligation.

Compared with the old friends who are running around for the family and their children, Redman is completely idle.With Hudson at the front, the brothers and sisters don't need to worry about his old father.

Even Evora, the unlucky kid who ran to the northern border, became one of the few lucky ones who escaped the orc soldiers because the fiefdom was too closed.

The other Northern Border lords were all busy rebuilding after the war, so he was the only one who leisurely drank tea and basked in the sun in his territory.

Of course, the disadvantages are also very obvious.The territory was too closed, and the messengers lost their way in the mountains. When the recruitment order was passed to Baron Evora, the kingdom's troops withdrew.

If you haven't fought a battle, you won't be able to make military achievements.During the entire Continental War, Baron Evora ate melons in fear throughout the territory.

No one cares what Baron Evola thinks, anyway, Redman is very satisfied.If it can survive the orc invasion safely, then it is a proper treasure land.

If the territory is blocked a little, it will be closed.Anyway, the territory can be self-sufficient, and its dependence on the outside world is very low.

In line with the idea of ​​making use of the remaining heat, Redman's main job became to chat with old friends and show off his "good parenting" by the way.

Hudson didn't know if anyone was taken into the gutter. Anyway, the Koslow family's relationship network in the middle and lower classes was very well maintained.

In the eyes of many small nobles, Redman's chatting and reminiscing about the old days is the treatment they would have if they were treated as "one of our own".

"In addition to seeking information, there are also people who come to buy weapons on credit, as well as borrow money and food.

Because the amount is not large, the most is only a few thousand gold coins, and it is the favor of the elderly, so I directly agreed to it. "

Redman said proudly.

Obviously, this time he once again stole the limelight in front of his old friends.

If it was left before Hudson's rise, he would never dare to promise a few thousand gold coins easily.

The situation is different now. Because of their special status, when everyone gives Hudson a gift, they will also give him a gift.

You can solve it with your own small treasury.
