Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 300: Jillin Harbor
Chapter 300 Jillin Harbor
Jillin Harbor is the only harbour city in the former Krissen Empire cursed coastline in the north, but it is not large, with a population of about 20,000, and its port facilities are not complete. After the establishment of Andinak Kingdom, it inherited the tradition that the former Krissen Empire did not value shipping. Although the Jillin Harbor was once intensive and prosperous for a period of time due to the lack of land in the Empire civil war, it was because the Second Highness in charge of the state administration implemented the maritime ships to trade With the policy of paying heavy taxes, Jillin Harbor gradually became deserted again.
When those smuggled merchant ships no longer run to Jillin Harbor, the rest of Jillin Harbor is the seafood trading market, which is also the largest fishing trade place of Andinak Kingdom. The fishermen of Jillin Harbor return every evening to sell the caught seafood to those fishermen in exchange for gold coin(s), and the fishermen select the more precious fish and send them to the Aristocrat(s) dining table of Andinak Kingdom overnight.
Previously, the fishing team organized on Silowas Islands also sent the catch here for trading, and suffered the squeeze of those fishermen. However, the fishing fleet on the island sometimes sometimes has less than one day's catch to supply the rock Legion on the island. Human consumption, even if there are many catches, is used to make salted fish or dried fish, and it is no longer necessary to go to the Jillin Harbor seafood market to trade. Silowas Islands and Jillin Harbor also have a ferry connection between them every three days.
Lorist has always been thinking about Jillin Harbor. Although Silowas Islands is good, but it is an island after all, it can be used as a transit station, but it is not as good as Jillin Harbor if you want to get a family sales base that can radiate the mainland. Now in the former Krissen's Empire East Northern Land area, Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce hosted by Count Kenmays is seizing the market. already includes the entire Iberia Kingdom and half of Madras Dukedom. At present, Count Kenmays is ambitious to open a commercial road to Central Four Dukedom.
South of Silowas Islands, Lorist wants to sell the products produced by Territory to the sphere of influence of Trade Union through Peterson Chamber of Commerce, but did not expect a glass war to greatly reduce the scope of Trade Union's sphere of influence. The road was cut off, and Peterson Chamber of Commerce was also very badly wounded.
From Northern Land to Silowas Islands, the coast along this area is the cursed coastline in the north. Both are shallow seas and reef areas, and there are no ports for sea boats to be docked. So Lorist fancy Jillin Harbor. If Jillin Harbor can be brought under the jurisdiction of the family, Lorist will have the confidence to develop Jillin Harbor into a large commercial seaport city in just a few years, and expand the commercial road to the south of the Kingdom of Rhodes through Jillin Harbor.
Lorist sent the Governor Hanks as ambassador to Imperial Capital, nominally concerned about His Majesty King, that is, Second Highness was trapped in the unfavorable situation of the war of Redlis Kingdom. In fact, he volunteered to help the kingdom and rescue Second Highness and the siege. Of course, the world has no free lunch, if you want Norton Family to send troops, you must give benefits. In view of the fact that Andinak Kingdom and Redlis Kingdom already have been fighting for up to a year and a half, in the case that the rats in the treasury of Andinak Kingdom have been starved to death, the conditions given by Lorist are that they hope to obtain the jurisdiction of Jillin Harbor.
Lorist originally wanted Jillin Harbor to become its own family Territory, but later it was difficult to think of such a condition for Second Highness to agree, so he took a step back and got the jurisdiction of Jillin Harbor. If Imperial Capital agrees, Norton Family will send troops to capture Cambona Province and reconnect with Second Highness. I just didn't expect that Red Marquis, who was in charge of the state affairs at Imperial Capital, simply and clearly rejected the request of Lorist, and also allowed the Jillin Harbor's garrison to take strict precautions against Norton Family armed forces.
If such an order is given secretly, then Lorist has no choice. I did not expect to **** the Hanks Governor to return and go to Jillin Harbor to give orders to Knight(s) in order to reveal personal indignation, even in the presence of the Hanks Governor, Jillin Harbor's garrison issued an order not to allow Norton Family armed forces to go ashore with a single soldier, in order to humiliate Norton Family, So this gave Lorist a reason to play on loan.
The garrison troops previously stationed by Jillin Harbor are the Andinak Kingdom Royal Guards Reserve Legion and the Third Corps. Its soldiers Captain Golden Knight Vivenmante once led troops to Silowas Islands, nominally assisting that Viscount Yaslan tax collection is actually extortion, The result happened to be Lorist, and was cleaned up severely. Later, although Second Highness rescued him, he was also worried that Lorist would not give up, so he transferred the Third Corps and reorganized a 2,000 Jillin Harbor defensive team.
As a local garrison, the Jillin Harbor garrison is treated like a child raised by a queen mother. The establishment of two thousand people has always been dissatisfied. The weapon equipped is the spear wooden shield. There are three pieces of leather armor. Tattered, only Great Captain and its two deputies can be equipped. As for the funds allocated, the salaries of the defensive team are also one month and one month away, and those defensive team members move around the seafood trading market every day, because there they can get a little extra money ...
Lorist would like to know how the Red Marquis in Imperial Capital has so much confidence that the Jillin Harbor defensive team will pose a threat to Norton Family armed forces, and effective prevention will not let Norton Family armed forces's soldiers come ashore.
Lorist already is standing on the dock of Jillin Harbor at the moment. Behind him, the Imperial Guard group of a thousand people is disembarking and teaming up. Nearly a hundred Jillin Harbor defensive teams of soldier(s) are laughing and watching. It is just the envy of the excellent standard equipment on these Imperial Guard, and there is no one who can do nothing to stop the Norton Family armed forces from going ashore.
But someone soon hit the stone with an egg. Two piercings of Knight(s) wearing half-armor rushed out of a tavern on the pier. They rushed over and called ashore with a mouthful of wine. The Imperial Guards boarded the ship immediately and were not allowed to set foot on the Jillin Harbor pier.
Lorist raised his head, a few Imperial Guard came over to slap the two drunks down and started a savage meal on the pier. Soon these two guys started crying and crying.
"Let them confess, why did they stop Count Norton's journey, was it intended or assaulted, let them write the confession and press the handprint and threw it to the Jillin Harbor prison. Now follow me to the city's main house, I want to see That order from Imperial Capital. "Lorist said.
As a Aristocrat(s), travelling with guards is a fair matter. Although Lorist has a Imperial Guard brigade with a thousand people and a corps of 15,000 people, it can only be said that Norton Family is rich, and Lord Count is afraid of death. For fear of being harmed, I brought more family armed forces guards, but I can't say that he has made any mistakes in the regulations. As long as he does not harass the place and buys or supplies himself, it is reasonable behavior.
Lorist drilled this space. As for the order from Imperial Capital, it was purely a joke to prevent Norton Family armed forces from landing a soldier. Norton Family did not send troops to rebellion, so why do n’t you let him take the guard when traveling on Count Norton? Want to harm him? It is unreasonable to understand the reason and reason, even if the lawsuit hits Second Highness in front of Lorist, it is a package win.
As the Jillin Harbor's city defender, Finston Baron has always been very satisfied with his position, and he paid a large price to buy Second Highness's side people to get this position. As a Aristocrat(s), Finston Baron always thought that it was only a fool to make money from his own fiefdom. How big was the fiefdom of Baron? It is very clear how much oil and water Baron is for those poor leaders. There is output only if there is investment. Rather than investing hard to develop Territory, it is better to spend money to buy a job, so that there can be a large return.
It has been only five years since becoming a Jillin Harbor city defender. Finston Baron has already recovered his capital. Income has exceeded the investment several times. Now he is pondering the formation of a small fleet of seven medium-sized armed forces sea vessels, buying some of the Andinak Kingdom Aristocrat(s) urgently needed luxury goods and fashion apparel from Morante City, on the one hand, paying those who have status, and on the other hand, borrowing the organization of the fleet To unite Jillin Harbor's Aristocrat(s) and wealthy businessmen, everyone who has money will make money and give them a share, so that they do not need to contribute their own funds and can better control Jillin Harbor. It is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
But Finston Baron also has troubles. The previous two days Imperial Capital inexplicably issued an order asking Jillin Harbor to strengthen its defense force and prevent Norton Family armed forces on Silowas Islands.
Fenston Baron believes that those in power in Imperial Capital must have mad dog disease. Whoever bites and who sees King is trapped in Redlis Kingdom. The frontline battle is very bad. I also want to persecute Norton Family. Lenovo thought that Norton Family had just sent a messenger to Imperial Capital. Finston Baron was very sure that it must be the messenger of Imperial Capital that had been offended by Norton Family. It was either a gift that was not delivered or a conflict occurred.
Finston Baron would like to throw this order into the wastebasket, but thought that he still put away this order book. Because Imperial Capital came not only with this order, but also sent six Knight(s). They not only took over the Jillin Harbor defense team, but also expanded the Jillin Harbor defense team into three teams of 3,000.
Fenston Baron decided to toss with those six Knight(s)s. Anyway, he wanted money, no money, equipment and no equipment, and the salary money allocated to the defense team every month, but look at the Imperial Capital What kind of ghost can come out of the Knight(s). Besides, is Norton Family bully? His confidant family went to Morante City some time ago and brought him a newspaper with sensational news saying that Norton armed forces's expedition to Hanayabarta kingdom not only destroyed this slavery country, but also sent 170,000 Hanayabarta kingdom nationals It was cut off, and a huge pyramid was built with the human head.
Finston Baron immediately believed that the news was not a fabrication but a fact. As the city guard of Jillin Harbor, he also received an order from King to send Imperial Guard to him secretly, that is, to monitor the movement of Silowas Islands and Norton Family. Any abnormal situation should be reported to Imperial Capital. The audio was not interrupted until the Second Highness expedition early last year. However, the Fenton Baron did not forget his responsibilities. The ferry sailor and captain who returned to and fro once every three days were his close friends. The Silowas Islands information returned to him was accumulated, and submitted after His Majesty King returned.
Silowas Islands was attacked by pirates, and the island was like hell. At that time, the ferry to Silowas Islands was also affected. Fortunately, the captain was about to die. Three sailors flew back on the ferry. Jillin Harbor was chaotic at that time, for fear The pirates turned around to sweep away. It was strictly guarded for more than a month. It was not until Norton Family armed forces's fleet came to the shore to purchase resupply supplies. People in Jillin Harbor did not know that the pirate already had retreated, and the rest was wiped out by Norton Family and recovered by Silowas Islands already.
Later, Norton Family armed forces assembled a large number of soldier(s) and sea vessels at Silowas Islands. Only Fenton Baron knew that Norton Family armed forces had such a powerful force, and then these soldier(s) and sea vessels suddenly disappeared. Two months later, these sea vessels returned and shipped. With a lot of supplies, although the captain and sailors on the ferry were ordered not to go to the island, they still judged how huge the supplies were and how many people there were.
Now reading the newspaper Fenton Baron, I can understand that Norton Family really sent troops to destroy Hanayabarta kingdom, otherwise, where did so much seized. No wonder His Majesty King is so afraid of Norton Family armed forces, ordering himself to monitor their movements. Finston Baron remembered a previous rumor. It is said that His Majesty's love of Count Norton and King turned against Yaslan Count. His Yaslan Count was full of King. His Majesty mobilized nearly 10,000 people to besiege Count Norton 500 people. As a result, he was defeated and he was caught. In his own life, under the anger of King, he gave Yaslan Count to the family and destroyed the clan, but there was no way to take Count Norton.
So when Fenston Baron heard someone say that Count Norton came to the Reported of the city's main government, he was keenly aware of the purpose of Lorist, not only enthusiastically welcomed Lorist to his study, but also actively took out the letter. The order book was handed over to Lorist, and the ridiculous irony and painful approbation of Imperial Capital's brainpower and ignorance of Aristocrat(s).
Lorist fiddled with the order book in his hand and said with a smile: "Since Imperial Capital orders Jillin Harbor to expand the defensive team, and Jillin Harbor is currently unable to support it, Norton Family is willing to contribute to the kingdom and support the formation of the Jillin Harbor defensive team. Lord Baron you see this Thing? "
"Great!" Fenston Baron overjoyed: "Lord Count is loyal to the country, regardless of gains and losses, it is really admirable, I entrust the Jillin Harbor defensive team to Lord(s)."
"Even if I pull the Jillin Harbor defensive team to Silowas Islands for three months of training?" Lorist asked.
"Of course it doesn't matter, since everything is entrusted to Lord(s), of course, it will be done according to the meaning of Lord(s). I heard that Norton Family armed forces is very capable, and I just took the hand of Lord(s) to rectify this defensive team. Dissatisfied with Lord(s), the current Jillin Harbor defensive team is a bit defensive. Not decent, bullying the civilian hawkers is to take Expert, and when they see the blood, they become pustules. Lord(s) needs to train them, kill and kill them at will, and just treat these **** well. You should know that one day I received more than 20 complaints against the defending team, which caused me to run around all day and wipe their **** ... ”
Seeing a look of thanksgiving Dendon Baron, Lorist laughed: "In fact, there is no mystery in training to improve combat effectiveness, well-paid, eat well, and provide good equipment for soldier(s), Train their fighting ability so that they no longer think they are dead cannon fodder, and at the same time educate them to strictly observe military discipline and attach importance to the glory of soldiers, then the combat power will naturally improve. So, during the Jillin Harbor defense team's Silowas Islands training, I Let my family armed forces take over the city defense of Jillin Harbor. It happened that this trip brought a regiment, so let them stay in their forest Gang for three months. You see, this is good, Lord Baron? "
Fenston Baron slandered in the stomach, which Aristocrat(s) went out to take a corps, armed forces parade, is it really rich and full of money, how many gold coin(s) will a corps cost for a day. There is a smile on this side: "It's so good. I'm worried what to do when the defense team goes to Silowas Islands's Jillin Harbor defense. I'm also assured that there is a Lord(s) corps. Just Lord Count, Jillin Harbor The people's livelihood is tired, I'm afraid of burden Ca n’t afford the supply of your noble family corps. Can you be less soldiers? ”
Lorist shook his head with a smile: "Lord Baron, it's okay, you only need to provide the supply of food for the 3,000-person defense team, and the rest is borne by us Norton Family. In fact, we have a corps here for another purpose, I heard that there are a lot of refugees in the kingdom now, and we plan to accept the refugees to go to Northern Land. This can also be regarded as a relief for the kingdom. "
Funston Baron's face reverence: "Lord Count is truly benevolent, and willing to gather those fugitive refugees to give them a way of life, it is a pillar of the kingdom. Well, I will issue a city order and let the noble family take over Jillin Harbor The **** team and the official letter inviting your family armed forces to come to station. "
Lorist nodded. Now that Finston Baron is so acquainted with it, it will not be difficult for him: "Lord Baron, if there is anything you can ask us for help with Norton Family, we will try our best. This is my Norton Lorist promise."
"Thank you ..." Finston Baron was really overjoyed this time.
On July 3, Jillin Harbor was taken over by Norton Family armed forces Rock Legion.
