European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 181 Special Diplomatic Rhetoric

Regarding the possible troubles, Li Peijun naturally does not intend to sit still.

The situation in Britain is now complicated. There are irreconcilable conflicts between the king of England and the great noble Afia. The church and the king of England often argue over fief issues. The expansion of the Benedictines in the south has also affected Afia's As a result, the foreign enemy Denmark is also eyeing Britain.

Now that there is a springboard, how to use the contradictions between all parties to seek the best interests for ourselves has become the primary problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Although he could only swear allegiance to one lord in name in the Middle Ages, Li Peijun was naturally not such a pedantic person. He planned to do both, so as to please the great noble Aifea without offending King Ethelred II of England. World.

Li Peijun put himself in the position of the King of England and thought about this issue. Anyway, the territory he occupies is not his family. If he throws an olive branch to the King of England at this time, the King of England will also consciously cultivate and support him. As a force against Afia.

On the other hand, Afia, although he beat his vassals homeless, it may not mean that there is no room for maneuver. After all, if the other party has to spend a lot of time to attack him, he will have to wait until the ice and snow melt in the coming year , before that, there is still room for retention.

It is definitely unrealistic to spit out East Sussex. The bottom line that Li Peijun can accept is to pay taxes and tributes according to the vassal standard. At worst, paying a little more is regarded as paying protection fees.

The diplomatic rhetoric of the King of England is relatively easy to write. In the letter, Li Peijun briefly talked about the "difficulties" encountered by East Sussex County. Rescuing thousands of civilians, it is logical to talk about the desire to be canonized and asylumed by the King of England.

As for paying tribute, Li Peijun didn't think about it for the time being. After all, paying three portions of money at once would be too much for anyone. He just hoped that the King of England would not cause trouble.

It was more difficult for the great nobleman Afia. Li Peijun didn't know what the other party liked, and he had never even fought face to face. If the other party had a bad temper and let himself have a clever tongue, he would still have to fight in the end. At that time, it was time to form a strong military alliance with the King of England.

However, Li Peijun still used his lifelong learning and tried his best to portray and restore the "truth" of the entire incident.

great prince afia
There was a bad omen coming from the sky in East Sussex, and God took His majesty to be angry here. The common people in the manor were in dire straits, and many people slept in the wilderness without enough food. It was a tragic situation in the world.

According to the facts we know, Edwin, the sheriff of East Sussex, has signed an agreement with Satan. He betrayed the church, betrayed his belief in God, and voluntarily degenerated into a minion of Satan, in order to save the church , to save people's faith in God, we hereby take decisive action to punish the devil who is at work.

Now that East Sussex has returned to peace, we uphold the concept of peace and friendship and are willing to live in harmony with your country. If the Duke is willing to accept it, I would like to swear allegiance and surrender to your rule.

Yours sincerely, Viscount Harfleur
Li Peijun put the BUFF of friendship and friendship on these two diplomatic words at the same time, and asked someone to dismantle them and send them out.

Alfia House, Kent

"My lord duke, you must make the decision for me." A burst of weeping at the door startled the sleepy Afia.

Afia straightened her clothes, looked at Edwin crying embarrassingly, like a humiliated civilian girl, and shouted angrily and laughingly: "Be serious, Edwin, I know you You are not like this, get up and talk."

Edwin didn't stand up straight, but hugged Afia's calf fiercely and refused to let go, "All the fiefs under my command have been taken over by others, and I'm homeless now, begging the Duke to Give me a helping hand and help me fight back against the dead."

"What? And this kind of thing, who is the enemy? Is it the British king's army? No, your fief is in the rear. It is impossible for him to form such a large navy. Could it be Denmark?" Comforting this frustrated nobleman, Edwin experienced all the ups and downs in life in one day.

"It's the Norman Principality. They are Vikings just like Denmark." Edwin now has no majesty, and his embarrassment is vividly displayed in his words.

However, Edwin remained calm. Fortunately, it was not the allied force of the King of England. However, since the other party belonged to the Viking family like Denmark, it must not be a bad thing, and resorting to force was also planned.

But now the relationship between himself and the King of England has always been in a state of hostility. If too many troops are dispatched at once, the front line will be empty instead, and it is easy for the other party to take advantage of it. Afia's heart is still inclined to diplomatic negotiations.

"Report, Your Excellency, there is a letter from you, from East Sussex." The attendant handed over the diplomatic words, and glanced at Edwin inadvertently, without the slightest awe in his eyes.

"My lord duke, it's this demon who took everything from me." Edwin finally recovered a little bit of demeanor, but his body was still burnt.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation." Afia said perfunctorily, and then opened it for reading.

After reading it hastily, Afia's mood became more serious, and he began to struggle with how to reply to this letter of sincerity.

On the one hand, there are down-and-out aristocrats who have no land, no power, and no one. The two have nothing to do with each other except for the enfeoffment relationship. People naturally know which is more important.

However, if Edwin was not given a satisfactory explanation, the other vassals would be chilled if they found out, so Afia decided to use the method of delay.

Afia temporarily put away the letter, tried her best to squeeze out a dry smile, and said, "Your Excellency Edwin, I will definitely avenge your revenge, but it's not the time yet, winter is coming soon, The surplus food is very tight now, and you have lost the hearts of the people, I am afraid that you will be greatly hindered."

"In the spring of next year, we will organize an opportunity to counterattack. Then it will be the day when you will get your revenge." Afia also gave an approximate time, so that this guy can look forward to it.

Having said all this, Edwin didn't dare to ask for too much now, so he sincerely accepted the order: "Thank you, my lord, my subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for your lord, and will do whatever it takes."

"Be careful, I'll ask someone to arrange a residence for you first, and you can feel wronged and live there temporarily." Afia also played a lot, and after sending Edwin away, she began to write a reply letter, announcing her acceptance. Harfleur's allegiance.
