At this time, there is an important stronghold on the island of Ireland that Oran wants to control - it is the breeding ground of Irish war horses!
After the establishment of the Knights Hospitaller, Oran began to pay attention to the source of horses.
At this time, the island's horse breeds were divided into the northern and southern parts of Scotland and England.
There are many varieties, from Shetland ponies pulling goods to war horses.
But compared with Frank's war horse, it is much inferior.
Starting three hundred years ago, the Frankish lords began to domesticate and breed horses.
When Charlemagne arrived, he controlled the best horse breeds and treated them as controlled items. He did not allow the horses to be exported for breeding, and wanted to dominate the European war horses.
Some of the current horse breeds in England were even brought earlier by the Danish Vikings (from the Frankish and Saxon regions).
At present, the Chinese Hospital Knights are mainly equipped with Dales ponies from the north of England.
Compared with later generations, these horses have a shoulder height of about 1.3 meters, and all the values are very ordinary.
But further west, on the island of Ireland, there was a faster and stronger horse.
This is what Manchester County Sheriff "Katana" told Oran earlier.
As a person who loves war horses and established a cavalry team, Shrike also inherited the character of his father Katana very well.
Everyone present, apart from Olan, Titan, Shrike and Henry, there were also three clerical monks.
In addition, a map of Britain and Frankia was included and set up on a wall panel for everyone to comment on.
While everyone was discussing, a new letter arrived from the north.
It’s still about Ireland across the sea.
Oran asked the monks in the tent to read directly.
The monk quickly glanced over and said, "The Dragon Lady of Ireland has killed two more kings."
Two kings died, but no one in the tent blinked.
Henry even twisted his neck to relieve fatigue.
"If Frank is your friend, he's certainly not your neighbor."
This speaks of Charlemagne’s hegemony.
"If a Love Island nobleman is not a king, he is worse than a village chief."
This means that the number of Irish kings increased and internal fighting became fierce.
In the past hundred years, at any time on this island, there were more than a hundred kings present at the same time.
In front of everyone, the map of Ireland was enlarged to be larger than Frank.
Purely because there were too many local kings (chiefs), this was needed to more clearly demarcate who controlled certain areas.
The kings of Love Island, now Oran only values the "Mugetijian" of the Kingdom of Munster,
Everyone else sees him as the village chief.
He took the letter and threw it into the furnace.
"Your Mightiness."
Shrike, who is about to turn fourteen, is missing one of his front teeth. It was broken when he was caught by the Vikings in King's Landing and thrown to the ground.
This broken tooth made him look four or five years older.
In addition, he has grown very rapidly in the past two years, and now he looks not much different from the adult he was twenty years ago.
After seeing the flames burning the Irish letter, he took the initiative to speak.
"After we defeat the Vikings, we should contact the Irish nobles as soon as possible. The Connaught area in the northwest of the island is the origin of 'hobby horses'. They are not many in number, but they are very fast. If you can get them, you can arm them A high-speed cavalry team,
Put it on a flat spot in central England and you can quickly get to your target whether you're facing north or south. "
"I heard someone say that Connaught is now in the hands of Invar? It was previously taken by his son." Henry added.
"Don't worry, my father and I are always paying attention to the news in Ireland. The man named 'Chris' is a weak fool, and so is Yin Val. The Vikings don't understand horses at all."
When Shrike said this, his mouth was leaking and he was angry in his heart.
The damn Vikings ruined his self-confessed handsome appearance. It must be because of this that he followed him to Wessex and asked for an affair with a noble wife, only to be rejected!
The shrike gets stronger and stronger, and the lord's flaws become more numerous.
But this is what Oran likes to see.
If there are too many advantages, it is easy to form cliques and become ambitious.
"Okay, when the war slows down a bit, Shrike, you will be responsible for handling this matter and establishing a more powerful Knights Hospitaller."
After finishing speaking, Olan paused for a few seconds, "Fabricate a few paragraphs for me about the news that Yin Val slept with his daughter-in-law, and spread it throughout England to see if it can create discord between the father and son."
】
Oran then discusses the Frankish infighting, which involves "Iron-Armed Baldwin", and Henry listens carefully.
Large-scale conflicts have recently broken out in the Saxony region east of Frankia.
It also involves the conspiracy of the Frankish royal family.
A bloodline of Charlemagne wants to challenge the throne.
Currently, many county chiefs in the country are affected, including Iron Arm.
This was a good thing. After catching Halfdan, Oran asked for a lot of information.
“This man colluded with the Danish Snake Eyes to open up the waterway outside the territory, allowing a large number of Viking dragon ships to come to England from the Frankish coast more safely.
If God is manifest, this bastard should die in a civil war. "
Oran raised his water glass and cursed this opponent he had never met before.
After chatting for a while, Olan continued to burn the letter.
The subsequent "Yinbilia Conflict" and "Change of Owners of the King's Castle" are even further away.
The Imbilia conflict is about the brothers of God who are being persecuted by heretics,
Everyone just raised their water glasses and said, "Bless my brother, God's blessing."
As for "Jun Castle".
Except for Oran, it was the first time for all participants to hear the name "Basil".
The letter sent back read,
This is a warrior who is over fifty years old and extremely powerful. He is a descendant of the noble bloodline of an ancient dynasty.
Trusted by Emperor Michael, he became the new master of the country after the emperor's death.
This Eastern Rome has only three meanings to everyone.
More money, more people, more territory.
But people may envy their neighbors a hundred meters away, but they are less jealous of the kings and nobles thousands of miles away.
Basil's name was forgotten by everyone except Olan.
Just as everyone stood up to leave, the letter from Mercia arrived.
Due to geographical inconvenience, the letters sent by the seven countries at this time were either lost in the middle or accumulated in large quantities. When the target location was determined, they were sent in large quantities.
The monk looked at it for a while and did not dare to read it.
Oran asked him to speak louder so that everyone in the camp could hear.
So the monk tried his best to use a tactful tone and said,
"A month ago in Mercia, a great debate was held. The saint and the monks of the Lion-Hearted King had... a theological discussion. The saint lost, so she agreed that there were many errors and omissions in Protestantism, and repented of the king. Explanation, the letter also said, let your Excellency quickly complete the southern task and attack Ragna."
Debate, confession, support.
Oran has imagined what happened to Joan in Mercia.
A smile appeared on his face
After seeing Olan smashing people to pieces with a hammer, everyone had a new appreciation for this smile.
This is a reflection of the Eagle Lord's gloomy character.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, they all got up and left, leaving Olan alone in the end.
He exchanged letters with the Mercian allies every day.
Two days later, more inside stories came out about the Mercia debate scene.
The Lion-Hearted King, who was descended to earth by his Heavenly Brother, "after asking God" made a lot of changes to the Protestant doctrines and reduced the authority of the Oran Heavenly Father.
Not only that, in March, King Lionheart also issued a new order to restore the kingdom of "England".
Restore the glory of England!
Olan considers it his duty to do so.
But Brother Tian did it first?
Hold!
If a child makes a mistake, the father must discipline him.
The Father's anger exploded instantly.
