A shortcut to solve military problems.

In fact, from the moment he saw the Ross army at the landing site, Ludwig had evil thoughts in his heart. It was indeed inappropriate for him to send people to do evil things, but the Normans were recognized as the "apostles of Satan" and arranged for these evil people to do it.

How about secretly dividing the spoils after doing bad things? Just like the group of Norman mercenaries from Denmark that I supported before, some of the dirty work that was not convenient for me to do was done by the down-and-out Danish nobleman Harald Clark. What's more,

The Dane Horik, who was forced to play with Naihe by remote control, was a good dog before he turned against him.

As long as northerners can be exploited and rely on the temptation of fame and fortune, they can become good dogs.

Ludwig knew that he couldn't take advantage of the blue fox, but his younger brother was obviously very good at it.

He did not say that he could not get the money now, but instead asked: "You will definitely rob Coblenz if you occupy it. That place was occupied by Lothair, so you must have made a fortune."

"We are just fulfilling our treaty obligations. As for the prisoners and some ordnance sent, you have already taken the prisoners, so you owe me three hundred pounds of silver coins. As for the captured weapons and equipment, I can sell them to you cheaply. Those silver coins

I will distribute it to the soldiers, and I hope you can pay for it quickly."

"This..." Ludwig said with a low face: "Anyway, the people are already in my hands and are loyal to me. Now is the time for the king to employ people, and personnel and supplies are relatively tight. Let me get the money immediately. I tell you clearly,

Let’s talk next year.”

"Is this intentional default?!"

"That's right. I just owe it on purpose, how about it?"

Blue Fox was pretending to be angry, but when he saw that the other person seemed to be serious, he relaxed with a smile. After all, Blue Fox concluded from what he saw and heard in the city that this guy was not rich for the time being, so it was really a shame to force him to pay.

No need for that.

"Okay, I'll take note of this account first. I have another big event this time. It's my brother Heihu, and my sister-in-law Sophia."

Ludwig still had a sullen face and said meaningfully: "I have already guessed what your intentions are."

"Really? But the guess is definitely not comprehensive enough. I know that you Franks are very particular. My brother needs a title, and my sister-in-law needs a title even more. Henry Nassau plans to give the land of Nassau to Sophia, and also

It’s this girl. What do you think? My dear king, do you approve it?”

Recognition is of course no problem, but at this juncture, Ludwig is more concerned about the benefits he can get after acknowledging it. "Of course I have the right to consecrate a new baron, even if it is a woman. But what good will this do to me?"

"

"Naturally the allegiance of a new noble."

"Is he your brother?" As he said this, Ludwig's eyes were already staring at the eager black fox.

"It's not..."

Therefore, Blue Fox solemnly put forward his own ideas and intended to bargain with Ludwig.

His plan is as follows: Sophia Nassau is canonized as Baron Nassau and rules over the old land of Nassau and Koblenz. Black Fox serves as the baron's steward, and the actual chief baron leads the military affairs. Black Fox and Sophia's future son will definitely inherit the title and continue

Be loyal to Ludwig and his successors. The Rus' army stationed in Nassau can act as the Nassau Baron Army, especially participating in the civil war from the standpoint of the Eastern Kingdom.

Is that okay? Of course!

A long time ago, under the strong military oppression of the Franks, the Danish chieftain Godfrey nominally surrendered to Charlemagne. Although his successor Harald Clark was in decline, he still led a group of warriors to serve the Eastern Kingdom.

Among all the Frankish nobles, Ludwig's fiefdom was geographically marginalized, and his army was relatively close to the Normans, Wends (generally known as the West Slavs) and the Moravians.

Contact. The Normans are not simply "Satan's apostles", they are fierce and exploitable, and the rising northern monarch Rurik is indeed a hero who can communicate.

Everything is for profit! Faith is just a fig leaf for competing for profit!

Ludwig saw the truth very clearly, especially the diocese of Cologne, which had expanded in strength after the war. Those priests were no longer servants of God. They had clearly begun to become noble lords, and their wielders were clearly count-level large-scale

They have the authority to hold the divine power, the military power, and the financial power firmly. They can claim that they can build the paradise on earth in Dar es Salaam. But in Ludwig's view, this kind of thing is an attack on their own power.

big threat.

First of all, it is impossible for Black Fox to be legally loyal to Ludwig, but his future son can. Sophia must kneel down on one knee now, and the little girl is loyal to Ludwig like a male noble.

In the stone room, the identity of a baroness was confirmed.

But Sophia was completely ignorant of all this. She was afraid of the bearded king. When the sword was placed on her left and right shoulders and the head of her head, which had already been taken off, she trembled subconsciously. Finally, she learned to speak a Latin phrase to declare her allegiance.

.

She was just a little girl, but the completion of the enfeoffment meant two major things. First, the Baron of Nassau, who was also in the Leingau area, still existed, which made a new nobleman exist in the local area, and Ludwig no longer had to worry about everything.

Secondly, enfeoffment is tantamount to recognizing the Baron of Nassau's right to rule Coblenz. This matter will definitely not be recognized by the Middle Kingdom. Then the barony or the de facto Russian forces will encounter a key blow from the Middle Kingdom.

Derwig is happy to see strong people help him share the pressure.

So, based on the second benefit, can the third benefit be derived?

Their Norman Ross, who goes by the title of Baron of Nassau, is obviously more greedy and cunning than the Danes. Considering that they cannot immediately come up with a batch of money to redeem prisoners, those ruthless people in the north will definitely be angry unless they authorize these guys.
