Miss Windsor is really beautiful, especially those big eyes that seem to be talking. At this moment, she was like a drowning person grabbing a straw floating on the water, staring closely at Lorist with hopeful eyes in despair.
Even though the second life of Lorist was human, he had seen many beauties in the previous life. But at this moment, the weak girl in front of him suddenly moved his heart for some reason, and he lost his mind for a moment. "Gudong" swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Lorist avoided the pair of big eyes that made him flustered a little bit, and said eagerly: "Miss, if you don't mind, I, I can Help you, share, analyze the predicament of the Windsor family, and see what can be done... "
Of course Miss Windsor didn't mind, and Fatty Shi at the side offered a glass of water at the right time: "Come on, drink some water first, I'm so anxious that you are stuttering."
He drank half a glass of water in one breath and calmed down. Lorist looked at the delicate and delicate Miss Windsor who was wrapped in a blanket, and remembered that she hadn't eaten a grain of rice or dripped water from last night, and couldn't help but pity. After brewing a cup of hot tea and putting it on the table, he motioned for Fatty Shi to get some snacks like cakes and biscuits.
Pointing to the blanket wrapped around the girl, Lorist smiled gently and said, "Miss, drink something to warm up your body first, and then eat something to refresh your spirits, and then we can chat."
When Lorist fished this young lady out of the Moon Lake last night, the girl didn't choke on the water, but passed out because of her mental and physical exhaustion during this period. Although Lorist and Fatty Shi feasted on their eyes, they had no guts. No one dared to change the wet clothes on the girl, so they took two braziers and placed them one behind the other, and baked them together with their clothes. In the end, he was afraid that the girl would catch a cold, so he got a blanket to wrap her up.
Only then did Miss Windsor realize her situation, she wrapped her body tightly in the blanket, and nodded with a blushing face. After the girl had enough to eat and drink, she borrowed the small bathroom in Fatty Shi's office, combed and cleaned it a little, and changed into the new female student uniform sent by Fatty Shi. When she appeared in front of Lorist and Fatty Shi with a radiant face, the two People can't help but be amazed by the girl's beauty.
Lorist was stunned for a moment and soon came back to his senses. He noticed that the corners of the girl's mouth were slightly curled up. It was obvious that Lorist and Fatty Shi were shocked by his beauty and felt a little complacent in his heart. .
Lorist picked up a blank parchment and began to give the girl with big eyes and curious Fatty Shi a tactical analysis lesson: "According to the situation collected by Fatty, let me analyze the current predicament of the Windsor family and see if there is anything missing. Ma'am, please add more."
Dilemma 1: The Windsor family lost their territory due to the war. At present, the old territory has been divided up by four neighboring lords. The original territory guards and local administrative officials have been disbanded and resigned. Even Mrs. Windsor and the young master have been kicked out territory. This shows that the new lord does not want the Windsor family to maintain influence in the old domain.
Dilemma 2: All the nobles in the Kingdom of Chigda are unwilling to lend a helping hand to the Windsor family who suffered injustice, even the grand duke that the Windsor family relied on. Although legally speaking, the territory belonged to the Windsor family, the nobles had acquiesced in the division of the four new lords, and no one was willing to say a word of justice.
Dilemma 3: Due to the heroic death of Viscount Windsor on the battlefield, the family lost the head of the family who could be a leader, leaving only orphans, widows and a pampered eldest lady. The young master who can inherit the family business is only seven years old, and he is in a period of ignorance, and expectations for him can be placed in the distant future. And that Mrs. Windsor is worrying about which knight or lord sowed the child in her belly. It is said that the list of suspects has reached forty or fifty, and she can't count on it for a while. As for the eldest lady, Lorist looked at the girl who hadn't awakened her battle qi, hehe, if I didn't say it, I'll just skip it.
"That's my stepmother, not my real mother. Now I'm the only one who can make decisions in the Windsor family." The girl blushed, a little bit embarrassed and angry.
After some explanations, Lorist and Fatty Shi realized that this Lady Windsor was originally a widowed baroness, and they got together when they met the Viscount Windsor, and they married her as the second lady after she became pregnant with the young master, the Viscount. Has been living in the manor of the king's capital. It was not until the death of Miss Windsor's mother three years ago that she brought the young master back to the territory, and she is not yet thirty-five years old this year.
No wonder, when he heard the news that Mrs. Windsor had a big belly in the barracks, Fatty Shi laughed at how hungry and thirsty the knights and lords were. According to the age of this young lady, Mrs. Windsor is not over forty, even this The old ladies are really hungry. It turns out that Mrs. Windsor is not yet thirty-five, er, so it is understandable.
The emotional girl didn't expect that the two men present had already been absent-minded, thinking dirty thoughts about Mrs. Windsor's sexual life in the barracks, and the two even looked at each other with a tacit understanding, secretly laughing endlessly.
The girl with big eyes is issuing the Windsor family's battle declaration: "... I will never allow them to trample on the dignity of the Windsor family like this, and the territory will definitely be taken back by us. I will never forgive those guys who stand by. As long as there is a chance in the future, I won't let them go..."
Fatty Shi picked up the parchment on the table that was written with the plight of the Windsor family, flicked it lightly, and interrupted the girl's impassioned enthusiasm: "According to this piece of paper, the Windsor family is clearly beyond redemption. Wait, young master It will take at least ten years to grow up. At that time, it is hard to say whether anyone in the old territory will remember the Windsor family. In fact, many famous aristocratic families have declined and disappeared like this. Losing the territory and not being in charge of the family, these two fatalities alone Your weakness is enough to destroy the Windsor family. I think the eldest lady still wants to open something, after all, your family still has a real estate and two stores in Morente City, which are enough for you to have enough food and clothing."
Lorist knew that Fatty Shi was telling the truth.
Miss Windsor also knew that Fatty Shi was telling the truth, so she just froze in a daze, and then her big eyes that seemed to be talking were dripping water, and she stood there silently, shrugging her shoulders yes, heartbroken...
Lorist couldn't bear it, he sighed and stood up, found a white towel and handed it over, comforting him, "Actually, there is another way for the Windsor family to regain their territory..."
The crying stopped hoarsely, and the teary-eyed girl asked in surprise: "Really?"
Fatty Shi looked suspiciously at the parchment in his hand: "Impossible..."
Lorist picked up a piece of blank parchment and a damp pen again, and began to write brushily. One, personnel. Two, spies. Three, goals. Fourth, logistics. Five, support.
Pointing to the five nouns written on the parchment, Lorist began to explain to the bewildered girl and Fatty Shi: "One, personnel. Although Viscount Windsor died in battle, his original subordinates did not have the entire army." Instead, they were lost and scattered in the surrounding towns and villages. Like this time, Mrs. Windsor and the young master rushed to Morente City for thousands of miles, and it was only a former guard captain and several former attendants who guarded them all the way to arrive safely. For these still People who are loyal to the Windsor family, the Windsor family can’t simply give them a few gold coins and get rid of it. Instead, don’t give up on them, organize them, send them to sneak into the old territory, and continue to gather and contact the lost subordinates.”
"Bringing these people together means that the Windsor family has a reliable force, and they can raise the banner of rebelling against the new lord, letting people know that the Windsor family has not given up their territory, and the Windsor family has not surrendered. As long as they are in the old territory The Windsors will not be forgotten with the presence of the Rebels led by the Windsors."
"It's just that the candidates sent to the old territory to organize the rebel army must be bold and cautious, and be cautious. It would be better if they have a certain prestige in the old department of Viscount Windsor, and they must have enough self-protection power. Of course the most important thing It is loyalty to the Windsor family, Miss, does the Windsor family have such a candidate?"
The girl thought for a while, then nodded: "I think Uncle Som is fine. He is our family knight, silver two-star rank, has been in charge of the cavalry guard, and is my father's most trusted subordinate. During this war, my father Before he died in battle, he was seriously injured in the battle. His father sent his family to the manor of the king's capital to heal his wounds. Fortunately, he avoided the new lord's action to clean up the forces of the Windsor family in the old territory. Send his mother and younger brother here One of my attendants brought me a letter from him, saying that he has recovered from his injuries, but he is still unable to ride a horse, and will come to Morente City to find us in a month or two. Well, Uncle Som’s Daughter Rina is still my personal maid."
"That's right, according to Missy, this Knight of Som is indeed the most suitable candidate for the leader of the rebel army. Next, let's talk about the second point, secret agent." Lorist looked at the girl and Fatty Shi who were a little unconcerned. , asked: "Do you know what a spy is?"
"I know." The girl rushed to answer: "Aren't they the ones who scout for the lord? They hang out in the tavern all day long, paying attention to strangers in the territory. They will report every move of the lord to the lord in exchange for a small amount of money." bounty."
Fatty Shi also nodded in agreement, obviously he also had the same opinion.
Lorist shook his head: "That's not what I'm talking about, they are too obvious. People like tavernkeepers, maids, servants, blacksmiths, fishermen, farmers, tailors, and guards are the best candidates for spies. Only these people, In order to become the omnipresent eyes of the old territory, watching every move of the new lord, and even being able to clearly see what he ate for dinner... "
"But what's the use of us knowing what the new lord's dinner is? Ah! Are you going to poison..." the girl asked weakly at first, and then her face turned pale as if trying to understand something.
Fatty Shi suddenly realized: "That's right, as long as these people become our spies, then what else can we do, no matter what the other party's plans are, we can deal with them calmly."
Looking at the big-eyed girl who hadn't figured out the situation, Lorist felt a toothache: "Miss, did you hear what the fat man said? Think about it, as long as these people become the eyes of the Windsor family, then the new We can get the news in advance of what the lord wants to do to the rebel army, and transfer it first, so that the new lord can't find the rebel army and is exhausted. Only in this way can the momentum of the rebel army grow and its impact grow. "
The girl blushed and nodded to indicate that she understood.
Lorist continued: "Those recruited old troops, those who cannot become rebels, and the garrison and administrative officials who originally belonged to the Windsor family forces and were dismissed are all candidates to become the secret agents of the Windsor family. Choose among them and remain loyal." For the members of the Windsor family, let them become the eyes of the rebels, staring at the actions of the new lord, and find suitable targets for the rebels to deal a fatal blow."
"The third point is the goal. The purpose of setting up the rebel army is not to attack the city. The rebel army must be small and strong, so that it can be flexible and respond quickly. The target of the rebel army's attack is not the new lord's castle, not the garrison, but It is tax collectors, local administrative officials, spies, checkpoints, transport convoys, warehouses, etc. The purpose of the rebels is to make the new lord blind, deaf, and unable to effectively rule the territory. Just like a confrontation, a wound, A wound in the west and continuous blood loss, no matter how strong a person is, they can't last long."
"Fourth point, logistics. In order for the rebel army to maintain long-term combat capabilities, it is necessary to establish a safe and secret camp, so that the soldiers can get sufficient supplies and rest time. The Windsor family will also provide them with weapons and equipment, fine wine and food, There are even women. There must be more such camps, and several more should be set up to prevent the rebels from moving quickly in case of emergency."
"Five, support. The establishment of the rebel army is not just sending out personnel. The Windsor family must continue to provide manpower support to the rebel army to ensure that the rebel army can always be controlled by the family. The best way is to recruit Baiyin Level mercenaries, let them join the rebel army in the form of short-term missions, and the balance of the mission can be settled after a few raid missions. The advantage of this is that it can ensure that the rebel army suppresses the attack target by force, and the second is Mitigate the rebels' own casualties."
"As long as you persist for a few years, the existence of the rebel army will become a nightmare for the new lords. They will regret that they should not carve up the territory of the Windsor family. It's a pity that the Windsor family will ask someone to negotiate again, and compensate the new lords with some property on the condition of stopping the actions of the rebels. I believe that there is a high possibility that the new lords will agree to return the land to the Windsor family. "Lorist made a final summary.
"So it's still possible to do this..." Fatty Shi was thinking.
The girl's eyes lit up, full of joy.
"However, there are two disadvantages in doing so." Lorist poured cold water: "One is because of the existence of the rebel army, the old territory of the Windsor family will be brutally suppressed by the new lord, and people's livelihood will be ruined. Even if the Windsor family can Regaining the territory also requires a lot of financial resources and a long time to restore and rebuild. Second, after the Windsor family regains the territory, it will be hostile by the nearby lords. It is necessary to build an elite army to guard the family territory, which also requires a lot of money. Therefore, whether it is the five points written on this paper or the aftermath, there is a common premise, that is, you need gold coins, a lot of gold coins. I estimated that it will take more than a thousand gold coins a year."
More than a thousand gold coins a year, this is indeed a huge sum of money. Like Lorist, who has just been hired by the academy as a swordsmanship instructor, and his monthly salary is three Goldfords. As for Fatty Shi, as the executive captain of the college's law enforcement department, his current salary is five Goldfords. But in the eyes of most of the residents of Morente City, they are already worthy of the name of the high-income class. The Madoff family, who were still setting up a food stall in front of the college at that time, earned five or six silver coins a month before they met Lorist, which was enough to feed and clothe five people, and even had a little savings.
The question is, does the current Windsor family have the financial resources and ability to regain the territory
