But they also secretly swore that this humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!
And they also know that some things are brewing, and in a few days, it is guaranteed to make the high-level officials of Dawn City feel overwhelmed!
Unfortunately, what Charles Duronda and others did not expect was that Nangong Xiao ordered the official publication of the Shuguang Daily just before they left. The 'Newspaper Readers' who started the training were sent to the people, wandering in hotels, taverns, and even some public places. As long as someone wants to know the content of the Shuguang Daily, the 'Newspaper Readers' can charge a fee, even for free. Read newspapers to people who can't read, so as to do their best to let the voice of Shuguang City spread to every corner of Huiyao Continent.
In the early days, the Dawn City Daily did not publish any breaking news. A small part of the page was to introduce some laws and regulations and positioning of Dawn City, which was used for science popularization, and more pages were to introduce the happy life of the residents of Dawn City, so as to create Dawn from the facts. positive image of the city.
The main purpose of the Shuguang Daily in the initial stage is to let the folks in the Kelton area or further regions accept the new thing of "newspaper" that has gained credit, and gradually establish the authority of the Shuguang Daily in people's subconscious.
After the civilians in the Kelton area, or in other words, the Kingdom of Stantel, recognized the authority of the Dawn Daily, Nangong Xiao said that he would definitely find some "interesting" things for the Holy See to do.
The distribution and promotion of newspapers is not difficult, because the world itself has similar things.
For example, the mansion newspapers and bulletin boards of the dragon race, the official circulars and bulletin boards of the elves, human races and other forces, these channels are used to convey government orders to low-level officials and people in the government, in essence, they are A newspaper' kind.
It’s just that the functions of the Mansion Newspaper and the official bulletin board are single and crude, and are only used to convey and announce government orders, while the Shuguang Daily not only conveys government orders, but also refines rough announcements into popularization, and at the same time mixes the leading public opinion trends The hidden role of the government allows the official will to be more intuitively conveyed to the ears of the common people.
The emergence of the Shuguang Daily also allows the residents of Shuguang City to understand the deep meaning of official policies more clearly, and also allows people to more intuitively understand the existing living conditions, and even the situation in distant places. At the same time, because the Shuguang Daily also has an entertainment section , Some poetry and novels can also become the life regulator of the residents.
By the way, the entertainment section of the first issue serialized a short story by Kasumigaoka Shiyu, which was drafted impromptuly, called "The Experience of the Magician".Although this kind of knowledge-based novel that describes the adventures of magicians in the Warcraft Mountains is very boring in the eyes of Nangong Xiao and other qualified people from modern times, the response of this kind of novel among the aborigines is surprisingly good.
The main reason is that the entertainment activities of the common people in this world are too scarce.
The aristocrats were fine, after all, they were rich and powerful, and if they wanted to hear stories or something, they could just hire bards.But civilians are different. Before the emergence of Dawn City, the basic needs of three meals a day were enough for most civilian families to go all out. How could they bother to pay attention to any anecdotes?
Now the entertainment section of Dawn Daily has greatly satisfied people's spiritual needs, and because of the existence of "Newspaper Readers", a miraculous sign appeared in Dawn City very quickly, that is, many civilians actually referred to "Newspaper Readers" Treat him like a storyteller, whenever he is free, he will go to the place where there are newspaper readers, and listen to the "newspaper reader"'s eloquent reading with great interest.
That scene made Nangong Xiao want to give the "Newspaper Reader" a board, and there was a "snap" on the table, and then there was a preface like "The book is connected to the last chapter", which has an internal flavor.
Generally speaking, the promotion of Dawn Daily was smooth, largely due to the lack of recreational activities for civilians.
And the real usefulness of newspapers has also not escaped the eyes of some insightful people.
In the lobby of a certain courtyard where the Dragon Human Mission stayed, Ji Ruofeng was half lying on the sofa, holding a flagon in one hand, and a copy of the latest Dawn Daily in the other. Zhu Zhu praised, "From now on, under the rule of Shuguang City, there will be no soil for gossip and gossip to survive. This thing is a sharp weapon to unite people's hearts and coerce public opinion. It's amazing...
By the way, little niece, you suddenly pulled me back from Qingsi Pavilion, because you wanted to ask me if I should let my elder nephew... the emperor follow the gourd? "
Princess Changxi, who was sitting across from the sofa, nodded seriously, "Yes, uncle, this thing is beneficial to the royal family, but it is a double-edged sword. Ruoxi is not sure."
"You, this thing has already come out, so it is destined that the emperor must follow the gourd painting." Ji Ruofeng took another sip of wine, and then said, "We have no chance to make a choice at all. If the royal family doesn't use it, don't those princes and kings use it? You are not so stupid, tell me, what is it?"
Princess Changxi was very used to the uncle's speaking style, so she didn't care, but said with a smile, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the uncle."
"Okay, okay, just say it." Ji Ruofeng waved his hand impatiently.
Princess Chang Xi also slowly told the story of meeting Nangong Xiao with Lilia on the first day of the celebration, detailing everything.
Ji Ruofeng listened while drinking, and hiccupped when Princess Changxi finished speaking, and said with a smile, "My future niece and son-in-law have a big heart..."
"Yes, Uncle Emperor, I always feel a little uneasy. I always feel that if this goes on, Ah Xiao... Nangong Xiao will become our enemy."
"You're thinking too much." Ji Ruofeng shook his head and said, "His vision is too high, he doesn't like those things, since he doesn't like them, wouldn't it be asking for trouble by being our enemy?
If he sticks to his duty in righteousness, wouldn't we be asking for trouble if we still make enemies with him? "
Princess Changxi was dumbfounded, but smiled helplessly, "Uncle Huang said so. But Ruoxi took it for granted."
"It doesn't count. There are no absolutes. You must be on guard against others, and you must not be distracted. The emperor will naturally know how to handle it, but you don't have to pay attention to it." After a pause, Ji Ruofeng showed a rare expression With a serious expression, he continued, "Show the Son of Heaven, change the law and strive for strength, advance slowly, wait and see the changes, and stop when the opportunity arises.
Your future husband-in-law's attempt to fundamentally change the world is doomed to be in danger all the time from now on.
Even so, it was the opportunity I had been waiting for for a long time.
The emperor can regard it as a questioning stone, and when it is done, the powerful families, princes and princes are all pig dogs, and they are at the mercy of the imperial power.Defeated, even though he died, he can be regarded as a hero in this world, and he can be called a hero, and future generations will praise him.
As for us, we only need to play by ear, keep our sense of proportion, and stop our horses from the precipice when we can't do it, and then find a way out.
But, little niece, you have to be prepared. "
While Princess Changxi was in a daze, she soon understood and bowed, "Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your instruction."
"Remember, don't be too self-confident. It took me a few days to see the slightest bit of this person. This person is careful in thinking, ruthless and resolute in his actions, and he is quite a hero. With your ability, he will definitely not be able to control him. So sad, you better play your part."
"This... Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Huang." Princess Chang Xi felt distressed, because this remark had the same meaning as what her imperial brother, Tian Zihong said at the beginning, which made it hard for her to accept it, as if she was very bad, but at this moment She also came to her senses, if the emperor brother and uncle could warn her like this, then her own problem is really a bit big.
"I've said everything I have to say, and you can think about the rest. Go ahead and do what you should do. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do." After that, Ji Ruofeng got up from the sofa and staggered towards the door Go, it looks like I'm going to that filthy place for entertainment again.
Regarding this, Princess Chang Xi couldn't say much, so she could only smile helplessly, then got up and went back to her room to write a memorial...
Chapter 207
According to the common calendar in the mainland, it is mid-November in 3114. At this time, the southern part of Stentel also has a strong atmosphere of autumn and winter. The locals also know that the first snow of this year is not far away.
Compared with the ease and peace of the Dawn City area, the war in the central and northern parts of Stantel is still burning, and even has a tendency to become more and more intense.
In less than ten days, the orcs launched four large-scale cavalry raids.They successively attacked the defense line of the capital of Stantel from the east, middle, west, and southwest directions. Relying on the maneuverability of the orc cavalry and their fearless will to fight, they finally achieved more victories than defeats, and the ratio of battle losses was superior. excellent situation.
This is based on the fact that King Stenter's new army is getting stronger and stronger, which shows how high the military literacy of the orcs is.
King Stantel was in a state of desperation at this time, but there was nothing he could do.If those orcs didn't fight head-on with his new army, the new army's long-distance coverage strike advantage would not be fully utilized. If things went on like this, the Kingdom of Stentel would be the first to collapse.
After all, with the size of the orc empire, fighting a war of attrition would be a dead end.
However, the cold winter is approaching. Once the heavy snowfall period persists, the orcs' offensive will definitely not be able to continue. At that time, Stantel's advantage as a defender will gradually be manifested.
It's a pity that the orcs can also understand this, so taking advantage of the days before the heavy snowfall period, before the first snowfall period, they increased their strategic occupation of the Stantel Kingdom, thus creating a frontline position suitable for winter.
What made King Stantel gnash his teeth even more helplessly was that the orcs actually directly repaired the main cities in the northern occupied provinces such as Romand as military fortresses. The human people in the occupied areas were either reduced to free labor for the construction of military facilities, or Being directly sold by orcs as slaves, judging by the posture, they want to completely swallow these fallen provinces.
In this regard, King Stentel was very helpless. The cavalry of the Kingdom of Stentel itself was weaker than the orcs. In the early days of the war, several main cavalry regiments suffered serious battle damage and have not recovered until now.
Now it is basically impossible to rely on cavalry to suppress the mobility of orc cavalry.
And once the mobility of the orc cavalry cannot be suppressed, Stantel will be completely passive.
Although the new army has gained an absolute advantage in positional warfare, the orc generals are not stupid. After suffering several big losses in positional warfare, how could they let go of the absolute advantage in cavalry mobility and go to fight Stan? Tel new army fighting positional warfare?
So, up to now, King Stentel is very troubled by the continuous harassment of orc cavalry, and it can almost be said that he is helpless.
King Stantel could only continue to increase the purchase of magical weapons to expand the number of new troops and strengthen the defensive capabilities of the frontline cities, completely falling into the passive defense.
The only way Stantel can think of now is to try his best to delay the battle until the heavy snow period, so that Stantel's army can get a chance to breathe, and then make calculations.
As for what happened to Char Duronda and others in Dawn City, King Stantel——Luke Stentel also obtained a general situation through the intelligence system deployed in Dawn City.
Although he secretly laughed at the fact that the Holy See of Holy Light had run into a wall in Dawn City, Luke Stentel felt very troubled by Dawn City's unrestrained and strong style of conduct.
He was even a little worried, worried that the lord of Dawn City would point the finger at him.
After all, Char Duronda took his will to build a church in Dawn City, but no one expected that the lord of Dawn City would directly express his welcome without showing any resistance. Comply with 'private property' laws.
This move by Shuguang City is incomparably clever, it can be said to be reasonable, and outsiders have no way to criticize it.
The attitude shown by Dawn City not only shows its support for the royal power, but also reflects the tolerance of Dawn City, and it will not completely tear apart the Holy See of Holy Light. '.
However, after really looking at the latest religious law promulgated by Dawn City, you know that once this religious law is implemented, the real winner is only Dawn City.
Especially for the Vatican of the Holy Light, once a church is really established in Dawn City, not only will the missionary work be subject to various restrictions, it will be difficult to be effective, but it will also need to bear related obligations and responsibilities. For example, the most direct one is that there is a need in Dawn City At that time, the magicians of the Holy Light Church must unconditionally obey the dispatch of the Dawn City military and contribute to the development of Dawn City, otherwise it will be illegal, and Dawn City officials have the right to deal with it accordingly.
This kind of "clause" that almost got nothing and bears a lot of obligations and responsibilities is so openly written in the law of Dawn City, how can it be possible for Charl Duronda and others to agree?
If you don't agree, there is nothing you can do. The attitude of the senior officials of Dawn City is very clear and tough. If the Holy See wants to build a church in Dawn City, it must abide by the law of 'private territory', otherwise don't come.
The final result was that Charl Duronda and others had to leave some irrelevant personnel to establish a small office, and then left Dawn City in despair.
This approach of not being rude and throwing the right to choose to the opponent made Luke Stentel amazed when he learned about it.Especially what happened to Charl Duronda and others made Luke Stentel rarely show a smile.
But soon Luke Stentel couldn't be happier. He suddenly thought that if the son of the dragon man took his anger on him...
I just hope that the son of the dragon man in Dawn City didn't react so violently, otherwise it would really make things worse.
But, things backfired.On this day, Luke Stentel received a piece of news that made him shudder—the Dawn City Arsenal was stolen!
Somewhere in the side hall of the royal palace in the capital of Stentel.
Luke Stentel looked at the latest official announcement about Dawn City sent by intelligence personnel, that is, the latest Dawn Daily, the content on it made his face pale, and even his body trembled slightly with anger.
The content of the front page of Dawn Daily is very simple. The main idea is that the orcs raided the arsenal of Dawn City and took away hundreds of magic rifles. This kind of behavior is completely a gangster's act that deliberately destroys the good relationship between the two sides. The official of Dawn City strongly condemns Yunyun.
Then, there is no more. The officials of Dawn City didn't even mention the meaning of asking the orcs to return the stolen items and hand over the relevant criminals, so there was no more content.
What does it mean?
Luke Stentel is not a fool, so why can't he see the meaning of this?
This is completely a good show deliberately played by the senior officials of Dawn City to warn him, King Stentel!
What's worse, words like 'destroying the good relationship between the two parties' appeared in the Dawn City Daily!
good relationship?A good relationship between Dawn City and the orcs?What a shit joke!
At this moment, the king of Stentel is leading his subordinates to fight the orcs desperately, but Dawn City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Stentel, actually has a "good relationship" with the orcs?
Isn't that just slapping him in the face Luke Stentel? !
After reading this issue of the Dawn Daily, Luke Stentel couldn't help but want to go straight to the south with all his troops, wishing he could immediately flatten Dawn City and smash that son of a dragonman to pieces.
But Luke Stentel also knows that if he really wants to do this, he should be prepared to become the king of subjugation. Regardless of whether Dawn City can be swallowed, even the orcs will not let this opportunity pass.
And he also understood that this was just a warning from Dawn City, otherwise it would not be just hundreds of magic rifles that were 'taken away'.
After calming down a bit, Luke Stentel thought about it, and finally decided to deal with Dawn City coldly. At the same time, he planned to make a gesture, roughly to let the royal capital officials publicly condemn the despicable behavior of the orcs, and see if it can further motivate the soldiers. The heart of the same hatred...
"King! The newly appointed marshal of the orc front, Duan Siker issued an official announcement!" At this time, an intelligence officer directly under the royal family hurriedly broke into the side hall where Luke Stentel was meditating.
"Bring it!"
Luke Stentel took a look at the intelligence note, and his face changed drastically, "Damn it! How dare you, Duan Siker!!"
There is not much content on the note, the general idea is that Orc Marshal Dunn Sik personally intervened in the theft of the Dawn City arsenal, and publicly stated that this matter has nothing to do with the orc military, but he also said that he will definitely investigate this matter and give Dawn City A reasonable explanation.
At the same time, it also publicly declared that the orcs would reopen the trade restrictions on the human race, and promised to do their best to ensure the safety of all businessmen in the area actually occupied by the orcs, etc.
Regarding the official announcement of the Supreme Commander of the Orcs' Southern Expedition, Luke Stentel's scalp was numb.
Whether the truth is that Dawn City colluded with the orcs, or the orcs were trying to climb up the pole, it doesn't matter now.
Just the resumption of bilateral trade between the orcs and the human race is enough to put the Kingdom of Stentel in a desperate situation.
Because this is equivalent to the Supreme Commander of the Orcs' Southern Expedition Army sending a 'friendly' signal to all the nobles in the entire Stentel Kingdom!
In other words, the top orcs have changed the rough strategy of conquest by force to a more tricky strategy of differentiation!
Based on the current situation of Stentel, many Stentel nobles are unwilling to continue the war at this level, but the orcs' previous strategy of complete conquest forced those nobles to grit their teeth and persevere. Because of this, the central front of Stantel can persist until now.
But now, the orcs actually changed their strategy!This is simply good news for those nobles who don't want to fight anymore!
As long as the orcs are willing to give some preferential treatment conditions, it is completely conceivable what those nobles with ulterior motives can do!
Luke Stentel, with an extremely gloomy face, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and immediately ordered the confidant generals of the royal family with real power and various legions to come to the palace to hold an emergency meeting.
He knew that now was the critical moment...
Chapter 208 Expansion Plan - Part [-]
According to the mainland's common calendar, on a certain day in mid-November 3114, in Nangong Xiao's office in the administrative building of Shuguang City.
Asuna and Sayuri were sorting out the documents, while Nangong Xiao and Qiuye were talking on the sofa in the reception area.
Nangong Xiao, who was leaning on the sofa, looked at the latest information on Stantel's central and northern fronts, and couldn't help but said after reading it, "This carrot and stick is beautiful, but this new Orc Marshal of the Southern Expedition is really good." He is a formidable character, he climbed up the pole and even played splitting hand, presumably King Stantel is already in a state of distress, so I am a little embarrassed to continue."
Qiu Ye blinked and said with a smile, "Your Highness wants to let King Stantel go?"
Nangong Xiao shook his head, "How is that possible? I just sighed. Well, let's first publish an article on the Dawn Daily. The main content of the article is to hope that Stentel and the orcs will stop fighting and live together in peace to build a better future. Write an article Let's just say some nameless pacifist."
"Your Highness, this is..."
"I want to see this person's level, and I hope he won't disappoint me." Nangong Xiao responded with great interest.
Akiba thought about it for a while, but it suddenly dawned on him, and then he said, "This Dunn Sik should not disappoint His Highness. According to the information integrated by the Intelligence Department, this orc's new Marshal of the South Expedition and the late Orc's famous general Sartre ·Tor Abbas has a very close relationship. It is rumored that the two are both teachers and friends on weekdays, and their styles of commanding troops are very similar. The outside world believes that Dun Siq is a disciple of Sartre. Sartre has the saying of "as cunning as a fox, as fierce as a tiger" It is said that although Dunn Sik is not as famous as Sartre among the dragon people and the human race, he has the reputation of "Wolf of Victory" and "Wisdom on the Battlefield" among the dwarves.
Duane Thicke's record is also very dazzling.More than 20 years ago, during the war between the orcs and the dwarves, when the fledgling Dunn West fell one after another in the southern part of the orc western border, as a third-class baron and commander-in-chief, relying on his strong personal charm to gather more than ten thousand remnants of the orc wolf cavalry As the main force, they adopted high-mobility harassing warfare and defeated the dwarves' [-] Northern Expedition main force at a very small cost, abruptly defeating the dwarf's Northern Expedition plan.
In May of 3098 in the general calendar, Dunn Sik was officially appointed by the Beast Emperor as the vanguard general of the Southern Expedition, leading four legions as the vanguard of the Ironbeard Dynasty. In June, Dunn Sik took only [-] The wolf cavalry set off lightly and raided the four dwarf counties in the north. They won the first battle and killed more than [-] enemies. Then they used the mobility of the cavalry to cut off the dwarf supply line and besieged the four northwestern dwarf counties. Then turn around and attack the four counties of the Northland of the Dwarves.
In this campaign, Dunn Sik led his troops to kill more than 16 enemies, took more than [-] prisoners, and obtained countless weapons and objects. Fenris Hammer, the famous northern dwarf general, committed suicide.One of the important strategic places in the north of the dwarves, the four counties north of the Oaks Mountains all fell into the hands of the orcs.
At this time, the main orc force of the Southern Expedition of the Dwarves was late, and the Marshal of the Orc Southern Expedition at that time was inconceivable after receiving the report.
In June 3099, Dun Siker was appointed as the general guarding the four counties of Oaks, and was exceptionally canonized as the first-class viscount. The lieutenant general gave full play to the high maneuverability of the wolf cavalry, defeated the twelve main dwarf armies at a small cost, and pursued the victory to go down two counties.
In March 3101, Dunn Sik was awarded the title of General of the Western Conquest again. It coincided with the revenge of the dwarves in the Northern Expedition. Dunn Sik used strategies such as luring the enemy to go deep, harassing the tired soldiers, and cutting and encircling the royal family of the Ironbeard Dynasty. The famous general Mars Ironbeard was in the western part of the Oaks Mountains, and the three elite royal armies and eight regular armies of the Ironbeard Dynasty were wiped out.
In October of the same year, under the operation of Sutter and other high-level orc military officials, Dun Siker was officially awarded the first-class earl.
