Chapter 103 Civil War Breaks Out
In fact, if Lord Weilun is willing, even if the people in the territory want to leave, he has a hundred ways to stop them, and he can even forcefully stop these people from leaving his territory.
Because of the absolute power of noble lords in their own territories in this world, these subjects would never dare to disobey his wishes unless they escaped far away, let alone just run to the neighboring Xu Yi's territory.
However, when Xu Yi made representations in this regard to Lord Weilun, Lord Weilun's attitude was very different from the last time he refused. He told Xu Yi that since the people in his territory are willing to leave, as long as they submit to If he pays a satisfactory compensation fee himself, he will not have any obstacles.
This expression is naturally a disguised agreement.
So after some bargaining, Xu Yi finally reached an agreement on behalf of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Lord Weilun.
According to the agreement, 5,000 people in Weilun Lord's territory will "voluntarily" relocate to Xu Yi's territory.
And according to the default rules on the continent of Sainz and the relevant regulations of the Duchy of Standing,? Ten thousand? Book? Bar? .nsb. Xu Yi, as the lord of the newly relocated territory, must pay the corresponding relocation fee to Lord Weilun for these people, one hundred and fifty gold coins per person. In addition, in order to compensate Lord Weilun for the loss of his people, Xu also had to pay another 700,000 gold coins to Lord Weilun.
The total amount of the agreement was 2.2 million gold coins. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce proposed to use some other items and measures as compensation, which was agreed by Lord Weilun.
It was finally determined that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would pay Lord Weilun 500,000 gold coins in cash, and the remaining 1.78 million gold coins would be replaced by some household magic machines and various military magic machines supplied in four batches.
besides. Lord Weilun also proposed to have three opportunities to ask the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to assist him in actual combat.
This last request. It reflects the current situation within the Principality of Standing.
After defeating Count Fran. Lord Weilun hadn't completely digested all the resources in Earl Fran's territory, so he fought against the three surrounding lords one after another, and all of them won a complete victory.
In just one month, he has completely defeated two of the lords, and the remaining lord is also retreating steadily, without any resistance.
I believe that it won't be long before the remaining lord will be completely defeated.
This situation has attracted the attention of everyone in the Duchy of Standing.
If Lord Weilun completely defeated these three lords and swallowed their territory in one gulp. Then the total area of Lord Weilun's territory will exceed an astonishing 10,000 square kilometers, and he will become the lord with the largest territory in the north of the Principality of Standing. Even in the entire Duchy of Standing, this is one of the most powerful lords besides Grand Duke Standing.
And because the population density in the north of the Principality of Standing is higher than that in the south, once Lord Willon succeeds in occupying these three territories, the number of subjects under his domain may exceed half a million people, second only to the people in the Principality of Standing. The number of subjects in the private domain of the Duke of Constantine.
Including his current military strength, Lord Weilun's overall strength can even be compared with Grand Duke Standing.
This naturally aroused the vigilance of other lords in the Duchy of Standing.
Lord Weilun's strength suddenly soared, and he defeated the four lords including Earl Fran, who was originally as powerful as him, so he will definitely not stop in the future. He will definitely direct his troops to other lords in the Principality.
Even...he might challenge Grand Duke Standing!
The division of power in the Principality of Standing is nakedly strong, if Lord Weilun can defeat Grand Duke Standing. Then Lord Weilun is very likely to become the next Grand Duke of Standing and successfully grasp the greatest power in the entire Principality of Standing.
For a while, the situation in the north of the Principality of Standing became extremely tense.
Correspondingly, orders for various military magic machinery flew like snowflakes to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
There may have been a few lords who had doubts about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before, but after seeing the powerful power of the military magic machinery provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce by Lord Weilun, and confirming this with actual combat examples, Duke Standing All the lords in the country no longer dare to have any doubts about this.
Because of the insufficient production capacity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is no way to meet so many orders at the same time, so that many lords in the Duchy of Standing continue to actively increase their prices.
Of course, these lords did not have enough gold coins to pay in cash. Before that, most of the lords used resources to exchange with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but now all the lords have adopted this method.
In the past, one cart of ordinary-quality iron ore could be exchanged for ten magic crossbows or one magic bazooka, but now it takes three carts or even more high-quality iron ore to exchange for it.
If you look down on the entire Principality of Standing from the sky, you will find a strange phenomenon.
From various places in the Principality of Standing, there are carriages carrying all kinds of ores, like ants, to the northwest of the entire Principality, and finally concentrated in Xu Yi's private territory.
After delivering all kinds of ore resources, these carriages will pull a load of military magic machines exchanged from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce back to the place where they started.
If you pay more attention to the time, you will also find that various hijacking incidents often occur on the way of transportation and return.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only determines the transaction based on the various resources received on its own site, and will not be responsible for the delivery of the goods.
Want to buy something? OK, come by yourself.
Want to take something back? You can also do it yourself.
If there is a chamber of commerce on earth that dares to take such an irresponsible approach, it will definitely be scolded to death by all consumers.
But here, everyone took it for granted, and no one raised any objections at all.
Every time Xu Yi saw those convoys who worked so hard to transport a large amount of ore resources to his territory in exchange for a small amount of military magic machinery, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
Dear, we don't offer free shipping.
However, when the convoy personnel sent by the lords were transferred from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the required military magic machinery. All of them seemed extremely happy. No complaints at all.
As for the free shipping of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? They didn't even think about it.
It is different from the treatment of these lords in the Principality of Constantine. Xu Yi's attitude towards Seweney was completely opposite.
When providing Seweney with various military magic machinery support, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not only took full responsibility for transporting these military magic machinery into the territory of the Lampari Kingdom, but even allowed Seweney to owe money.
It can be said that in the past five years since the establishment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Sevini is still the first customer who has been allowed to owe money by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and can give priority to paying for products.
You must know that no matter what kind of product the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce produces, it is extremely popular. It is never in short supply.
Prior to this, only other people made an advance payment to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and then prayed that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would supply the goods as soon as possible. No one else owed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to happen.
However, no one in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce raised any objections to Xu Yi's decision.
Everyone understood that this was Xu Yi's investment in Seweney, and it was his big gamble.
If Sevini successfully controls the power of the entire Lampari Kingdom, then the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely get a much greater return on investment in the Lampari Kingdom than at the current stage.
The only question is, can Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny...can succeed?
The two seasons of autumn and winter in 3784 in the continental calendar only took three short months. Seweini used iron-like facts to prove Xu Yi's precise judgment to everyone. And the powerful power brought by the support of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
At the beginning of October, Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny delivered a speech in her private domain, once again clarifying the previous conviction of Duke Stark as a traitor, and expressing that she would punish Duke Stark as the former king's sister and the king's daughter. It conducts a conquest.
Three days later, the Duke of Standing issued a statement stating that Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny was completely slandering, and her fundamental idea was to deny Prince William's legal succession to the throne, try to ascend the throne himself, and issue the king's decree on behalf of Prince William, confirming that Princess Sevigny His Highness rebelled.
A week later, both sides organized armies at the same time, and the civil war in the Lampari Kingdom officially broke out.
At the beginning, almost everyone thought that Her Royal Highness Princess Seweni was hitting a stone with a pebble.
Because during the more than a year since King Eric took the throne, the entire Kingdom of Lampari was actually almost under the control of Duke Stark.
During this period of time, Duke Stark used various means to suppress most of the voices opposing him in the kingdom, and the strength of his own family was greatly improved accordingly.
However, Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny has almost completely disappeared for more than a year. Not only were many nobles who supported her before forced to change their ways, she even took the initiative to disband some of her private guards.
The balance of power between the two sides is naturally far apart.
However, after the civil war in the Lampari Kingdom officially broke out, the facts were beyond everyone's expectations.
First of all, after Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny officially issued a declaration of discussion, almost half of the cities in the Kingdom of Lampari immediately expressed their support for Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny.
Compared with the fact that only a small number of cities clearly expressed their support for King William and Duke Stark, and most of the rest of the cities did not clearly express their position and took a neutral attitude, Her Royal Highness Seweigny's voice was more powerful.
And when Seviny's private guards and the second army of the kingdom's garrison sent by Duke Stark had their first confrontation, the result shocked everyone even more.
Among all the regular armies of the Kingdom of Lampari, the Second Army of the Kingdom's Defense Army, which claims to be second only to the First Army of the Kingdom's Defense Army, has no power to fight back in battle.
The second army of the kingdom's garrison had 15,000 people participating in the battle, but Seweni's private guard had only 3,000 people participating in the battle.
Such an astonishing result made everyone feel incredible.
Why did Seweini's private guard have such amazing combat effectiveness?
Is it just because it is equipped with the military magic machinery provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?
