Chapter 210 Allied with Denmark
As night fell, Harfleur's army was stationed in the city of Norwich. Relying on the dry food supplies carried by the ship, they did not cause too much trouble to the local residents. Hosted a presentation.

Compared with verbal promises, actual actions are more honest. Although he has absolute force, he still holds the banner of protecting the environment and the people in a proper manner. more up.

"Have all the remaining forces in the entire county been wiped out? Make sure that there are no hostile elements that have been missed." With the light of a few rows of candles, Li Peijun summarized and inquired about today's situation. The dual mobility advantages of waterway navigation and plain cavalry As a result, the whole of Norfolk fell into his hands in less than a day.

"Except for a small number of people who fled to other counties, the rest basically surrendered. The knights were very brave. They almost chased us too far, but I caught them in time." Bernard is the commander-in-chief in charge of the northern sweep. The cavalry company he led fought all the way to the seaside before giving up.

"The situation is basically the same. We didn't encounter much resistance." Tidel and Cohen, who were in charge of the Western Front, also reported on the battle situation.

"You've done a good job. You've all worked hard today." Li Peijun personally took charge of the battle in the south, and nothing went wrong. This raid can be regarded as a successful one.

"Where do you plan to attack next? Is there a predetermined plan?" Bernard was a little anxious. Now that his morale is high, he plans to take advantage of the high fighting spirit to penetrate the whole of England in one go.

"Yes, my lord, but the situation in Norfolk is not suitable for a long-term garrison. We must quickly formulate the next battle plan." The reason is that the land they bought now is still in the hands of the enemy.

Li Peijun pondered for a while and said slowly: "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely do what I promised you. If the land is occupied as expected, the amount you paid in the early stage will be fully refunded. Don't worry too much. You have to remember, This operation is related to Harfleur’s future fortune, so you must obey the command and avoid taking unauthorized actions.”

"Understood! I am willing to serve the lord."

After nearly half a year of ideological reform, those pedantic nobles have long been pushed out of the sphere of power, and the rest are civilized nobles who can accept the idea of ​​centralization. Their desire for land is not like that of traditional feudal manor owners. This is also due to the generous economic treatment provided by Li Peijun.

"The advance of the war cannot be too hasty. The reason why we can capture Norfolk so smoothly now is, on the one hand, because the defensive force here is weak and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. On the other hand, we also took advantage of the surprise attack. , the enemies further into the inner county town will be much more difficult to deal with, and we need a helper to share the pressure for us."

Li Peijun put his fingers horizontally between London and Norwich, and said to everyone: "The distance between the two places is only a hundred miles, and the cavalry alone can go back and forth within a day. How much more is the King of England today?" At least we will receive some rumors, what we have to do is try to avoid confrontation with the King of England, and go north to slowly erode the territory and expand our own strength."

In a big battle, Li Peijun is still confident of defeating the coalition forces of the King of England, but the church and Afia still have the basics, so there is no need to fight to the death with one of them now, and launch a thorough strategic offensive after they have gained an absolute advantage .

"We plan to discuss the alliance with Denmark. Even if we take a step back, we must basically maintain Denmark's neutral attitude towards us, otherwise we will be exhausted." Li Peijun also revealed the overall follow-up plan, focusing on diplomacy with one hand and taking the initiative with the other. military.

"But didn't Denmark sign an armistice with the King of England before? I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the other side to stand with us." Bernard has a little understanding of the previous battles, and he thinks that the two will not fight again in the short term .

Li Peijun had already arranged the preliminary work, and said frankly and confidently: "It depends on how much help the King of England can provide us. In the eyes of the monarch, interests are more important than anything else. Even if you can't win over Denmark, as long as you can ensure that the other side Some interests will not be damaged, and there will be no two-front battle in the short term."

Looking at the candles that were about to burn out, Li Peijun finally encouraged: "Everyone has worked hard, rest early, and continue to expand tomorrow. The tomorrow of Harfleur is in our hands. We will make the beautiful paradise described by God , to create a realistic appearance.”

"Your lord is wise." The knights got up and saluted with shoulders crossed, and retreated one after another.

After everyone had left, Li Peijun began to formulate a diplomatic rhetoric towards Denmark alone. All monarchs whose names have gone down in history are somewhat prone to overjoying success, and Li Peijun responded by flattering him at the beginning of the letter.

Although the Principality of Normandy and Denmark belong to the Viking family, the people of Northern Europe have always been strong and strong, and they believe in the theory of the strong. The role of blood ties is almost zero, but I still have a try mentality. The point of view is described in thick ink.

First of all, the validity of the original peace treaty must be affirmed. Li Peijun mentioned in his letter that he would properly resettle the Danish immigrants in Norfolk County and agreed to open all ports along the coast to accept more immigrants to settle.

Population is productivity. Although most of them are poor refugees who can't get along in their original place, after some transformation and baptism, most of them can still be used by themselves.

On this basis, Li Peijun also expanded the scope of the Danfa area in rhetoric, pushing the northern forces of Denmark another 5 miles south, and even the Diocese of York, one of the bishoprics, was ceded out.

Anyway, it is not in his own hands now, whether he can fight or not is his own ability, and Li Peijun does not want to share the existing fruits of victory with others, he can only try his best to maintain the other party's existing rights and interests from damage , while satisfying some normal requests.

"Okay, it's done." Li Peijun struggled for a long time when signing the payment. He didn't know whether it should belong to the title of Viscount of Harfleur or the title of Sheriff of Norfolk. In the end, he simply didn't add the title, it was just a symbolic one. Add "Followers of the Great Sifan" in front to show respect.

After putting on the Friendship BUFF, Li Peijun consolidated the letter and prepared to send someone to send it to the King of Denmark. Before that, he only needed to slowly erode the inherent territory of the King of England.

"There is a mission to occupy Cambridge."

　Oops, when I was looking at the religious distribution map, I realized that I had been confusing Manchester with Winchester. Winchester in the south is the archbishop's diocese, and it is also the capital of the Wessex dynasty. The front I have corrected the errors in the chapter, sorry everyone
