One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 138 Jay Succession Part Five

Prince Jay had already invited the envoy of the Golden Lion Shiji back.

Therefore, Prince Jay gave up using force this time, in fact, all because of the face of the golden lion.

Because if the pioneering nobles don't come, not to mention whether their enthronement ceremony is formal, at least in front of the envoy of the Golden Lion, their ability will be questioned. replaced by others.

However, this does not mean that Prince Jay will not pursue them.

Marquis Tam offered a strategy to deal with Fifty Towns.

The Marquis of Tam may not have adapted to his new role change, and he did not blindly agree with Prince Jay.

However, after Prince Jay listened to the persuasion of Marquis Maris, Marquis Tam immediately came up with a good strategy to please Prince Jay.

Tam's strategy is very simple, as soon as he said it, Prince Jay understood.

In fact, Prince Jay's thinking has also entered a dead end. Facing the helpless Fifty Towns, where is the use of force.

A good official and dozens of soldiers can control the towns in the directly subordinate territory.

Of course, this also depends on the intelligence information that Marquis Tam has a deep knowledge of Fifty Towns.

The purpose of these fifty towns is not only to take down people with bad intentions, but also to stabilize the local situation.

For these fifty towns, Marquis Tam has set three kinds of treatment for them.

The first is that the people in the town who hated the royal family of Yagyu with the most heinous crimes were naturally exterminated, and the local depressed deputy head was immediately dispatched to serve Prince Jay.

The second is vacillating, unsteady stance, and no obvious hostility to Prince Jay's town power holders. This kind of thing is to stay on duty for probation, and transfer a large number of young adults and gold and silver treasures from the town, so that they no longer have the ability to resist. force.

The third is the people who were forced to give in to the previous general trend and always had the royal family in their hearts. These people, under the proposal of the Marquis of Tam, the good officials brought admonitions and some rewards to appease them.

In this way, for half a month, Prince Jay finally managed to control the power that the old king Yagyu had held during his lifetime.

However, it was not all smooth sailing. During the half-month rectification operation, some unexpected situations occurred.

The source of this surprise came from the Duchy of Meghan.

Prince Jay's rectification actions were noticed by the people of Meghan's Dukedom from the very beginning.

In response to this change, Stewart, who had already accepted the title of duke, couldn't do anything wrong again.

After all, the entire pioneering nobles have initially surrendered. Although it is in name, if the Megan leader interferes with Prince Jay in this matter, he can only fight alone.

Stewart would not do such stupid things.

However, Stewart was not willing to let Prince Jay conquer Fifty Towns in peace.

In the end, when Prince Jay sent people to rectify Fifty Towns, rumors were flying everywhere on the border of Songbai Island.

It was said that Prince Jay was going to liquidate Fifty Towns, that all the people in Fifty Towns would be killed, that all the people in Fifty Towns would be reduced to slaves, and other rumors were flying everywhere.

Therefore, the population of 50 people in Fifty Town was panicked, and Megan Leader, who led these rumors, sent a large number of spies to lure people from Fifty Town to flee there and flee to Megan Leader.

Prince Jay finally conquered Fifty Towns, but it was only a dilapidated Fifty Towns, with a population of less than 20, and some towns had already existed in name only.

In this way, the Megan collar has absorbed a population of 20, and the total population has reached 40.

Megan's collar didn't absorb all the fugitives. One reason was that some people didn't flee to the direction of Megan's collar, and Megan's collar couldn't catch them.

The second is because Megan collar does not want to eat alone, so as not to be isolated at that time.

As a result, Songli Ze's Xiaohe collar has absorbed the population of [-] and [-] towns that took the initiative to seek refuge.

There is still a population of 8, which is divided equally by a group of pioneering nobles located in the north.

Because of this, all pioneering nobles have a share, and Prince Jay can only suffer from this dumb loss.

Only in this way, the grievances between the pioneering nobles and Prince Jay deepened.

During this process, many people were killed and injured. According to preliminary estimates, at least [-] people died in this turmoil.

Because of this incident, some people on Songbai Island speculated that it would take a few more years for Songbai Island to restore the unified situation of the old King Yagyu.

Prince Jay did not revoke the titles of some dilapidated towns, and still kept them. Not only that, but also re-dispatched officials, although they were only polished commanders.

The mayors of Fifty Towns, who have taken on a new look, have already arrived in Shipwreck City, waiting for the enthronement ceremony of Prince Jay half a month later.

This enthronement ceremony came in a hurry, except for the envoy of the golden lion, all other forces were from Songbai Island.

When the old King Yagyu founded the country, he was in a hurry enough, and the second king was not much better.

Just in this rare calm and hurried half-month time, it passed by in a flash.

Matsurizawa brought Ayane, and his eldest son, Matsurizawa-Gerald, the first heir to the Marquis of Xiaohe, to Shipwreck City.

Matsurize found that pioneering nobles with the same identity as himself, such as Megan Ling, were just like him, and they all stepped on the spot.

Matsurize and a group of pioneering nobles, surrounded by Duke Megan Stewart, walked into the Shipwreck City early in the morning.

The guards brought by all the people, together, are mighty and mighty, there are more than 5000 people.

Everyone, including Stewart and Matsurize, still took into account Prince Jay's tricks, so they made an agreement together. During this period, everyone advances and retreats together, sharing weal and woe.

As soon as Matsurize and others entered the Sunken Ship City, an official from the Sunken Ship City hurried over and dragged everyone towards the palace.

Because the enthronement ceremony was about to begin, Jay and the others thought that the pioneering nobles would regret not coming.

In addition to his wife Ayane and eldest son Gerald, Matsurizawa only brought 300 Xiaohe troops to escort him.

Matsurize and others came to the palace hall under the urging of the officials accompanied by Shipwreck City.

It was not the first time for Matsurize to come here, but he found that the place had changed a lot.

No matter what kind of person the old king was during his lifetime, at least he has always been a model of diligence and love for the people in Songbai Island, and he is the most honest in the island.

But now the style of the new king can be seen from this magnificent hall, the whole hall is full of gold and silver.

However, this momentum is indeed quite strong. Prince Jay has not appeared yet, as if he has the air of a king, and it is all thanks to this hall.

In this way, under the witness of the golden lion messenger, the heads of all the forces on Songbai Island were present, and Prince Jay became the throne, named Liu Sheng II.
