Throne of Comics

Now there are some songs widely spread in the mainland, praising that the civilian life of Harrenhal is much better than that of King's Landing, it is like a heaven and a hell.Although it is a bit exaggerated, it also makes sense.

Therefore, in order to repay the family, the enthusiasm of the civilians to join the army has increased, fighting for the family and also for their own family to continue to maintain this kind of life.

So during this period of time, the number of soldiers has almost exploded. Even if [-] are allocated now, Li Lingyi estimates that there will be [-] left in reserve, so there is no need to worry.

This point is far from the Iron Throne. According to reports from the Hawkeye organization, since Joffrey came to power, the royal family has become more and more extravagant. A large number of golden dragons have been used for entertainment. People can control him.

The Royal City Guard is also expanding, but most of them are golden robes wandering around in King's Landing, and when they see suitable young and middle-aged men, they are forced to join the army, otherwise they will kill people.

This also led to a large increase in the strength of Wang Cheng's guards, but it was a very unstable increase.And I heard that some men deliberately made up to look like old people in order to avoid being forced into the army, and some even wore women's clothes. It was a mess.

As for Lannister, old Tywin is also recruiting troops, and has also conducted several military exercises with the Rose family, and knows that a big war is coming.

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, he glanced at everyone's faces and said, "I hope you all take it seriously. This is not a joke, so for a hearty victory, enough soldiers are essential."

As soon as these words came out, several families could only nod helplessly in agreement. Now that the new Wuqi family has produced so many people, it would be a bit embarrassing if these old families couldn't even produce half of them.

But there is one exception, that is Luce of the Bolton family. He looked puzzled, thought for a while, and hesitated: "Can our Bolton family send less? We can't send so many people."

Li Lingyi had foreseen Luce's reaction a long time ago, because he had already figured out the details of the Fort Dreadful, and there were only ten thousand people in the entire city who could be drawn out to fight.

If they really took out ten thousand people, it would be equivalent to cleaning out the bottom line of the Bolton family, and they couldn't bear it if there were no soldiers to defend the castle.

But Li Lingyi deliberately asked for [-] yuan, just to make Lu Si object, so other families must have some criticisms.We all get at least [-], why can you get less?

Let everyone express dissatisfaction, so as to put pressure on Luce, so that Li Lingyi can better "raise the price".

Sure enough, when Luce finished speaking, several patriarchs frowned, and Stannis took the lead in saying, "Lord Luce, 1 people shouldn't be a big deal to the Dreadfort."

"What do you know?" Luce immediately retorted when he heard the words, "Our family has not vigorously developed the military, so naturally there are fewer soldiers."

"Oh, maybe."

"you!"

As soon as Li Ling saw that the two of them were about to quarrel, he immediately stopped him, "Okay, my lords." He looked at Luce as he spoke, "Since the Bolton family can't get so many people, then reduce it by two." One thousand, eight thousand."

After finishing speaking, Li Ling narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Patriarch Lu Si, shouldn't this figure be unavailable again?"

"...I can get it."

Luce looked helpless, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. The Bolton family took out these 8000 people, and there were less than 3000 people left in the castle, so there must be nothing to do.

And the most important thing is that I still lost people in this meeting. After all, no other family has asked for a reduction in the number of people, only myself has raised it...

The question of the number of people has been settled, and the statistics show that the six major families have dispatched a total of 6 soldiers, [-] horses, and other supplies such as luggage.

The number of people is determined, and then naturally it is not directly gathered together and pulled to the front to fight, that is not called fighting, that is called going to death.

Even an army as powerful as Lannister has to conduct military exercises, let alone the coalition forces of the six major families.Many of them were enemies before, and suddenly they have to fight together, and it is impossible to adapt immediately.

Even in modern times, don't countries occasionally conduct joint military exercises, and it was naturally the same in ancient times.

And before that, the commander-in-chief of the joint army must be selected. There must be someone who makes up his mind on the battlefield. If there is a disagreement, this person will be responsible for making the final decision.

Compared with the previous competition for the Iron Throne, the position of commander-in-chief was much more intense. Almost every family wanted it, but a few soon withdrew from the competition.

For example, in the Tully family, Edmure doesn't really have a strong desire to lead soldiers, while Ian of the Arryn family wants to fight, but he also feels that his family is not strong enough, so he simply gave up.

The most intense battle is naturally Stannis, Robb, and Li Lingyi.

Robb thinks that he is very capable of leading troops and has experience in defeating Lannister, so he is suitable to be the commander-in-chief.But Stannis emphasized that he is a member of the Baratheon family, of royal blood, and has more appeal to soldiers.

As for Li Lingyi, he naturally wants to fight for the simple reason that he sent the most troops and defeated Lannister twice, so it is normal for him to want this position.

The three families refused to give in to each other. They fought for a full two hours, and no one would let go. The intensity was so intense that the others thought that the alliance that had been established with great difficulty would be disbanded in the next moment.

But it seems that the three of them have a tacit understanding, no matter what they say is ugly, even if they attack each other personally, none of them said "withdraw from the alliance".

In fact, this kind of situation is quite normal. After all, compared with the illusory matter of who will be the king after winning the battle, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces has greater power and is more practical.

Seeing that the quarrel would continue indefinitely, Li Lingyi finally came up with a plan, that is, none of the three should be the commander-in-chief, and when there were differences of opinion in the future, the three would vote, and whoever got the most votes would listen to his opinion.

As soon as this proposal came out, the quarrel was temporarily stopped. Robb didn't want to accept it at first, but Catherine next to him whispered something to him, so she nodded reluctantly.

As for Stannis, he naturally didn't want to accept it either, because this voting system was quite unfavorable to him!Now that all the major families know that Li Lingyi is engaged to the little wolf girl of the Stark family, then these two families will be one family in the future.If they vote, two to one can be beneficial to their family!

It's just that Robb has nodded now. If he doesn't accept it, it will be difficult for him to disobey the remaining few families on his own, so he gave in dissatisfied and expressed his agreement.

At this point, Li Lingyi also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he didn't expect that the competition for the commander-in-chief would be so fierce. It seems that he was thinking too simply, and in the end he could only come up with this voting system.

And he himself is actually unwilling to vote, so it is very likely that his opinion will be rejected, which is not a good thing.It's just that forcing yourself to be the commander-in-chief is likely to make other families too dissatisfied. It would be bad if it affects the alliance, so it can only be handled in this way.

After deciding on the command matters, the next step is the time and place of the joint military exercise.

Naturally, the sooner the time is better, the several big families discussed it, coordinated the time for troop deployment, and decided to start gathering next week.As for the location, there was also a small disagreement.

Robb suggested that the military exercise be held in the northern border. On the one hand, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is difficult for the spies of the Iron Throne to sneak in.On the other hand, the cold environment can also exercise the soldiers' bodies better.

However, these two items were directly refuted by Li Ling as soon as he finished speaking.

His opinion is completely opposite, the coalition forces should conduct military exercises in the Hejian land, and there is no need to hide it, but it should be done with great fanfare and let everyone in the mainland know.

Why?This involves the justice of the army, which is very important in ancient and modern times, that is, "the teacher is famous".What is the name of the coalition?Obviously, it is to set things right.

What's the mess?That is the current king. Joffrey on the Iron Throne is of Lannister blood, not Baratheon.This is equivalent to deceiving people in the mainland, so they are guilty!It's not that the Northern coalition forces are guilty!

The power of public opinion is very strong, think about Ed, what happened to him in the original book?After he died, the mainland thought he deserved to die. He was a traitor. There were rehearsals all over the mainland, playing Ed as a despicable clown.

This is the fate of losing the battlefield of public opinion. If the Northern Coalition Army also conducts exercises in the northern border secretly, not only will it not be able to hide it, but it will also make people think you are a guilty conscience.So it is very important to be upright and put it on the bright side so that people can be convinced.

After all, the military is the continuation of politics. If the victory of a war cannot obtain any political benefits, it is equivalent to fighting in vain.For example, during the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China, when Yuan Shao fought Cao Cao, he was serving the Son of Heaven anyway. If you fought against Yuan Shao, it would be tantamount to rebellion. Moreover, you were so arrogant that you didn't even bother to use the title of "Qing Emperor's Side", and you deserved a big defeat.

As for the cold environment will exercise the body, this is more far-fetched.I have never heard of people who can be physically strong by staying in cold weather for a period of time. Even if they can, it will take many years and months.

Not to mention that Robb didn't understand the purpose of the coalition at all. It was not for exercising, but to make the cooperation between the various families tacit. There are a total of six families, and the soldiers must have different styles.But since they are all coalition forces, they must be in unison, otherwise they may be messed up before the enemy comes over on the battlefield.

Therefore, it is necessary to practice in Hejian with great fanfare, so that the majority of civilians can see it and cheer for it. In this way, the confidence of the army and the people will increase a lot under the interaction of the army and the people, and it will also make King's Landing nervous.

After all, Hejian Land is connected to King's Landing by the King's Road. If you really want to march in a hurry, you can go there in a few days. The road is unimpeded, and it is impossible not to be afraid.
