The Black Throne of Pirates

Chapter 243 Troublesome Benefit Distribution

In Snow Wind City, in the former stronghold of the rebel army, a group of Kingdom National Salvation Army is celebrating happily in the city, drinking, eating meat and bragging one by one.

After successfully defeating the rebels in the city, they have been celebrating for three consecutive days, but it is still not enough. It seems that they want to vent all the negative emotions such as sullenness, fear and anger that have been squeezed in their hearts during this period of battle.

When it came, the Kingdom Salvation Army had more than 3 troops, but now there are only more than 5000 left.

Knowing that there was no way to retreat, the rebel army broke out with amazing fighting power, and once again became the aggressive and powerful army, which caused heavy losses to the Kingdom Salvation Army, and almost wiped out the private soldiers of the nobles in many places. up.

With such a tragic victory, the soldiers naturally accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction. At this time, the nobles who commanded behind were also very generous, allowing them to search for loot and celebrate in the city as much as they wanted.

Of course, the Kingdom Salvation Army did not let the soldiers take all the spoils like the rebels did, and most of the spoils were still taken by the nobles.

The rebels in the city once plundered the royal city of Cassia. Even though the lair was raided by the Bingxue Town forces sent by Barr at that time, they were still rich and rich when they came back.

But now that the war is defeated, the wealth obtained from the looting will naturally fall into the hands of the Kingdom Salvation Army.

Huge interests will always lead to disputes. The nobles in the kingdom's national salvation army are not doing charity. They all use the banner of saving the country, but how many of them really have such ideas?If so, they should have gone to serve the king when the king's city was attacked, instead of waiting until now.

None of them are pure-minded, they are all a group of sanctimonious people who come here for profit.

For example, now, these sanctimonious people are arguing about the distribution of spoils, their faces are red and hideous, and they don't have the usual elegant and noble appearance at all.

"My Paled family has worked hard this time. There are less than 2000 of the more than [-] people left. This time the spoils must be divided into one-tenth."

"Fart, most of your Paled family died at the hands of that bastard Mushuru, and they didn't play much role in this war at all. One-tenth, it would be good to give you one-fiftieth , don't be so fucking shameless."

"That's right, if you want to say that one tenth should be given to my Falaid family, my people were the first to attack Snow Wind City, and my contribution is indispensable."

On the stage, Herbert was in a bad mood. The joy of defeating the rebels had long since disappeared. He was like an outsider at this moment, looking at the group of people who had almost torn their faces for profit with indifferent eyes. noble.

The rebel army was defeated in Snow Wind City. From a strategic point of view, the best choice is to take advantage of the victory and pursue Gilbert's last stronghold in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that the Kingdom's National Salvation Army was originally composed of a large number of nobles' private soldiers, and now the opinions are not unified, and it has been delayed to make a decision.

During the wartime, Herbert was still able to subdue these nobles by relying on his prestige and the greatest fist, but when it came to the important link of dividing the interests, even he could not prevent these nobles from sharing the spoils. The Slee family is at a great disadvantage.

But Herbert knew in his heart that the division of interests was inevitable no matter where it was placed.

Especially now that each of these nobles has suffered a lot of losses, and many of the nobles have almost wiped out their private soldiers. They don't hurry to divide the spoils now, so as to recruit troops and replenish their forces, and later attack Gilber This last stop at the port of Tevilia may not even have a mouthful of soup.

This is human nature, anyone who dares to stop them at this time is their enemy.

The Herberts are old and smart, so of course they will not be confused at this time and do such a stupid thing that provokes public anger, even if he really wants to wipe out the port of Vilia, Gilbert's last entrenched place, and then kill it with his own hands. Gilbert, the rebel leader.

Since it couldn't be stopped, let's just wait. He believed that after the rebels in Snow Wind City were wiped out, Gilbert had little room to resist.

But this kind of thinking, Herbert still maintained it not long ago. When the three warships responsible for blocking the Drum Kingdom were wiped out by pirates, and Gilbert promulgated new tax regulations, he began to be uneasy, a kind of ominous premonition Breed in his mind.

In addition to this incident that bothered him extremely, there was also a big problem in the pharmaceutical business of the King Leslie family recently, and the originally stable profit chain showed signs of collapse.

For the time being, Herbert still doesn't know who is behind the scenes, but based on the principle that whoever gains the most benefits after an incident happens may be the mastermind behind the scenes, he aimed the biggest suspect at a young noble duke nearby: Ice and Snow Duke of Masefield.

The young duke has benefited a lot from this war. Since Bingxue Town is close to Fengxue City, many supplies of the Kingdom National Salvation Army are purchased from Bingxue Town. Trading.

In fact, the rebels were able to persist for so long and be so difficult in this war, and the help secretly provided by Bingxue Town was definitely not small.

Now that there is a problem with the medicine business of the King Leslie family, the medicine business in Bingxue Town is booming, and he quickly occupied the market share of the medicine business of the King Leslie family in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, thus earning a huge profit. profit.

In the past, even if Herbert was only suspicious, he would have taken action against this young nobleman long ago. It is a pity that this young nobleman is not only very powerful in himself, but may also have an even stronger power behind him. power.

If the King Leslie family chooses to confront it head-on, it will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it may even be in danger of being destroyed.

Herbert already had a vague premonition that the King Leslie family behind him would face a life-and-death choice.

If you choose well, you may reach the sky in one step, but if you choose wrong, you will really only be destroyed.

"Weakness is the original sin. If you don't have the ability to protect so much wealth, keeping it will only become a disaster." Herbert sighed bitterly in his heart.

He has been the Minister of Finance of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom for so long, how can he not know what the strongest power in this country is, if it is not for this power, it is impossible for the Magnetic Drum Kingdom to become a wealthy country in the era of big pirates by selling medicine. s country.

It is not he who is at the helm of this force now.

However, Herbert is also very clear about what this force is afraid of, and he is ready. If the result in Locke Island is not as he wants, he will launch the final response plan.

As a noble aristocrat of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, he absolutely cannot tolerate this beautiful country falling into the hands of villains and becoming a tool in their hands.

"Duke Masefield, you have been silent since just now. This is not good. The Ice Town army led by you has made a lot of efforts in this battle, and you have captured the villain Mushulu. It is a great achievement. How much spoil do you think you deserve?"

With this in mind, Herbert decided to test the attitude of Buffett and the people behind him by taking advantage of the current interest division issue.

As Herbert spoke, the nobles who had been arguing ceaselessly stopped, and then focused their attention on Buffett.
