European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 225 The Confused Battle Situation
Most of these original nobles were direct or indirect vassals of the original British king. Except for some dioceses that were the power of the church, the rest had more or less ties to the British king.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, Li Peijun naturally did not need to explain these reasons too much. The nobles present all understood and accepted the change of lord obediently. For them, it was just a place to pay taxes when paying tribute. , can not be called any earth-shaking changes.

"I hope that in the future I can obey my orders and fulfill your due obligations." Li Peijun gave a few words of symbolic encouragement, and sent all the nobles to leave. The succession law has been officially promulgated. Anyway, he is still young, so he can survive this Help the old bones, wait until their fiefs are divided and reduced by future generations, and wait for the opportunity to clean up the disobedient ones in batches.

Compared with Harfleur's unbreakable political alliance, the situation in Britain is much more complicated and confusing. At present, it is only maintaining a temporary dynamic balance. As for the joint forces, Li Peijun does not dare to have too many extravagant hopes. He can only pray for taxes and conscription It's good to be done on time.

News also came from northern England that the Viking stragglers stationed in Danfa crossed the original border and occupied the entire territory of York. A fierce exchange of fire broke out between the two sides in York City, which ended in a tragic victory for Denmark. The bishop of York converted Surrender, after this battle, the new border of the Danfa District has been extended to echo its own occupied area.

Fortunately, the other party still kept the promise, and when they saw the rose flag flying at the entrance of the city, they went back to the house. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Li Peijun to weigh it for a while. With no agenda, even the barbarians can take a breather.

Li Peijun's staunch ally at this time, Bishop Owald, is living in Worcester's manor for the elderly. This guy will not encounter much trouble until Archbishop Dunstan wins the London Battle. At this time, the large forces of both sides are still in The fierce confrontation continued in London, and Li Peijun sent people to the suburbs to wander around in a symbolic manner from time to time.

And my daily task is to speed up the management of the new territory, and listen to the continuous battle situation ahead. The knights did not return to Hafleur, and they were all on half-standby to prepare for battle.

"Report, the Ephia coalition forces have defeated the King of England's troops and are preparing to advance into the city of London."

Li Peijun frowned, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart. Although this is a highly probable ending, he hoped that the reckless King of England could persist a little longer. Denmark has not officially joined the battle yet. The defeat was a foregone conclusion, and it was still a little hasty.

"Report, the king's ambushes surrounded Afia's troops, and the two sides fought fiercely under the city of London." The latest news has turned the battle situation around. The reinforcements sent by the sect played a vital role.

"Hey, I can't tell what's going on just by the messenger's words. If I can go to the scene to find out, I can understand the dynamics on the field at that time." language, but can only see the superficial situation.

"The Danish navy hasn't moved yet, right?" Li Peijun, rather than caring about these two half-assed guys fighting each other, he might as well see when Denmark, the decisive force, can officially join the battle. As long as the Danish flag flies over the Thames, Then the defeat of the King of England is certain.

"Yes, my lord, there are only two sides in the war in London." The envoy's answer confirmed Li Peijun's conjecture. Instead of passively waiting for the result, it is better to find a way to hold the initiative of the war in his own hands.

"Should we sneak attack on Winchester? Anyway, it will be a matter of time before we turn our backs." Li Peijun planned to fight his own petty jokes. If he broke his face and started the war now, East Sussex would be in the hinterland of the enemy's territory. , surrounded by enemy territory, this is a contest between encirclement and anti-encirclement.

There are two biggest uncertain factors. One is how long the King of England can last and how much strength the opponent can consume. This is related to the timing of his turnaround. The second is that Denmark promised to send troops to London, but it has not yet seen Fanying. The official entry of Denmark is tantamount to a subversive force, which will hasten the end of the war.

Li Peijun is now starting to regret bringing Denmark to London. If these two local snakes were to fight each other, it would definitely be a lose-lose game. Now the King of England's downfall is only a matter of time.

At the critical moment, there are still many church forces in the central area. They are afraid that if a war breaks out, these monks and monks will cause trouble for themselves by taking Dunstan's position. Then it will be difficult to deal with.

"Report, the King of England has successfully repelled the enemy's attack, and now the two sides have returned to a confrontation." During the time I was meditating, the messenger sent another news of the King of England's success.

"Hey, it seems that I need to rely on Owald's ability to detect people. After all, they are old acquaintances. After getting along for so long, they must know each other better than me."

Li Peijun silently put the battle situation in London aside. It seems that just as the Bishop of Worcester predicted earlier, the command of the two and a half barrels of water will not be able to break through the city of London where the King of England sits. He couldn't even open the situation of a small superior. If all the direct descendants of the King of England hadn't been annihilated by himself, perhaps it would be Afia and the others who suffered this time.

"If you have time, you must go and observe Aifia's command level. I am curious why such a large number of people can be stalemate for so long. Anyone with a little brain should win." Li Peijun sneered and started to manage Start the production work on the estate.

After incorporating Central Britain into his own territory, Li Peijun's actual fief area has exceeded the entire Normandy area

In the Principality, when all economic production returns to normal, the baron of this originally remote town will suddenly become the richest nobleman in Britain. This silent method of making a fortune has not aroused suspicion in Rouen until now. The Duke of Normandy is now Reform of the land system is in full swing.

Although most of the unwritten rules of enfeoffment are "My vassal is not my vassal", the Duke of Normandy has now begun to introduce direct management to strengthen his centralized power. This also provided the legal basis for William the Conqueror to later occupy England. The institutional basis led to the formation of an alternative landscape in medieval Europe - "The vassals of my vassals are also my vassals."

It's just that the situation in the principality is not yet too stable. The issue of enfeoffment in the central area will have to wait until the duke's successor, Richard II, to be completely completed. Li Peijun still has enough opportunities to take the lead.

"Send an envoy to talk to the King of England." Li Peijun pondered for a long time, and decided to hold the King of England temporarily.
