The people are blind,
People are forgetful,
People look up to the strong to lead them out of the sea of suffering;
Only you can do it!
...
The Frankish noble embassy and monks were soon corrupted,
In other words, they have never been decent. Charlemagne himself also had many concubines and many children, and he never lived a clean life.
What's more, these nobles are slightly better than illiterate people?
Late at night, Oran looked at himself quietly in the fire.
The cronies gathered around and looked at the silent Olan, but no one spoke first.
Until Olan raised his eyes, looked at everyone and said, "Did Edward reply?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Did Adesha reply?"
Everyone remains the same.
"Have all the agricultural tools from the south been distributed? And those experimental seeds?"
"yes."
"What's the news from Love Island?"
"It's calm, the Boneless Man is old. As long as we continue to delay, he will definitely die."
Fighting has the benefits of fighting, it can increase land, wealth and prestige,
But now that their strength has greatly increased, all the nobles want to live a good life for a few days, hoping that Oran will not use force easily.
and *** become the main axis,
Who will go to war if there is no benefit?
Northumbria is still alive and relying on the nobles of Oran. In just seven years, the per capita territory has more than doubled.
His relationship with the Vikings is a mortal enemy that his subordinates rarely mention recently. After all, Ragnar is dead and the Boneless is over fifty years old.
It’s time to turn your attention to other regions.
For example, building a good relationship with the Frankish nobles,
He even pulled strings to get Oran to marry another female noble.
Friendships change as interests change, and Olan's factions begin to unite again.
He even bypassed Oran and wanted to find a new candidate for the kingdom's mistress in private and put aside the controversy.
Oran rarely visited the sons of hostages who were sent abroad.
Although there are many women around me, news of illegitimate children are also coming out one after another.
But everyone knows that it is impossible for these women and children to get on top of themselves.
Oran only wants the eldest son, and he also wants the son of his wife. If a concubine has a son, there is no hope of ascending to the throne...
...
The reflection in the fire was unfamiliar to Oran himself, not to mention the nobles reflected in the candlelight.
Olan has no idea of resting. When his power reaches a higher level, his opponents will become stronger.
Ireland is fragmented. Although the Boneless are obviously very powerful there, they are conquered by force. As long as the strong lord dies, they will fall like dominoes.
Scotland has no hidden dangers now. They were unable to break in when they were at their weakest, not to mention that China and Britain are now basically unified.
The war against the Southern Kingdom and the trade with the Northern Sea Kingdoms will be carried out together, and Oran will be prepared with both hands.
War is a continuation of politics and also requires economic support.
Oran needs money, fame, allies,
The gang of roughnecks in front of him have already passed the stage of their tasks. He needs better talents who are proficient in various languages to enable him to move his army across the Danube River and point his sword at the Mediterranean Sea.
Pope John's letter of apology came back at the same time as the letter from Oran who sent people to Rome to gather information.
A new pope with a righteous heart, not close to women, hates the Southern Crescent Christians, and wants to regain Sicily.
Befriend Frank and make new demands on the monks of Eastern Castle.
Want to re-expand the authority of the Bishop of Rome...
How about killing him?
The devil ran out of his ears, Olan snorted and had a new idea,
Let's wait and see for a little longer. If we can't grab the throne this time, there will be another one.
These old bones will die sooner or later
In front of myself.
"I'm going to send someone on a pilgrimage to Rome. This time is very important. Which of you is willing to go?"
Pilgrimage is very sacred and honorable, but it is also extremely dangerous. It takes more than a year to go back and forth, both by land and sea.
Everyone was silent, and Oran responded with a smile, "Go and get ready."
That night, Oran began to bathe and change clothes, locked himself in the chapel and practiced asceticism, and asked the night watchman and the night watchman to spread the news out of Kent.
Oran even used horses for this purpose.
Oran slept in the chapel, but pretended to pray hard all night.
After walking out, facing the monk who came up to ask, he replied, "I have thought clearly. This is an important change in my life. I pray for my kingdom and territory.
I will be inspired by the Lord Christ,
Now you just need to help me make a list, enough food, gold and silver, clothing, and legal documents to pass each department,
Let me go down and make arrangements. "
"Sir, which route do you want to take?"
"Frank is our friend, traveling from Northern France, through Swabia (Switzerland), and then to Rome."
"This is a sacred journey. We will prepare immediately and guide you according to the usual practice, so that you can repent repeatedly to get closer to divine grace..."
"All glory to the Lord!"
In the next three days, Kent's Oran and his party made various preparations for the pilgrimage in a decent manner.
There was even a small Mass, during which Oran shed tears of pain. The monks on the side said that the Lord Christ had come and possessed him, and that he was cleansing the sins of the world, and his tears would cleanse the evil in the world.
This pilgrimage caused worries in the family, uneasiness in the servants, and even the eyes of external enemies.
The wives and concubines did not believe that Olan wanted to go to the baptism, and even offered to follow him, but Olan refused.
Some knights who may have been arranged to protect them were not worried. The journey was far away and they might come. The wife of her manor picked up a fat child who had never been masked before.
They have obligations and responsibilities to their families,
While Oran is here, he can suppress all the enemies of Britain. Once he leaves, Adisha, who takes over the role of the head wife, is not recognized by most people.
It can be said that as soon as this plan came out, everyone in the southern country was extremely happy. If Oran had not made arrangements to cross the ocean,
The situation will become uncontrollable.
However, Oran ignored the advice and even expelled those nonsense subordinates.
When the time came to March 873, Oran even gave a public speech in the castle (Government Report), telling the local magistrates,
"The Lord guides everything, and now, let me leave the soil of Great Britain and go to holy and ancient Rome.
Here, the foundation of faith, the footsteps of saints, and the miracles of thousands of years flow in every corner.
When I fell into a dream, I was walking through the ancient city and felt the glory. The face of the Lord was revealed.
The Lord is everywhere, even a drop of clear spring has His majesty and mercy.
My heart begins to burn. The Holy Lord hears me, guides me, and protects me. My great hero will live forever!"
Now in Northumbria, the common people communicate with the nobles in the vernacular and begin to use the word England to refer to themselves.
In the official instructions given to nobles from various places in the White Palace of King's Landing, numerals are used together, such as Tianchao, Daying, Huangying.
There is a special word for calling Oran - "Jin Shang".
Civilian nobles began to be collectively referred to as bachelors.
The highest-ranking bachelor (the one who is also the archbishop of the kingdom) is called the "deacon".
Military nobles, full name knights.
The Duke with the highest status (Olan lets them control more than one county and influence the surrounding areas militarily) is called "Jie Commander".
Both are collectively known as Jazz.
Oran, who was preparing to usurp the kingdom (found the country), began to compile the book of the kings of Britain, which was called the complete book of Britain.
As the heir, Edward was recommended by the nobles and given the special honorary title "Prince".
Different from Orange
His child.
In Britain now, cultural changes can be made from top to bottom. In just one generation, laws and customs will all follow Oran's instructions.
The news released by Oran is that he will go on a pilgrimage in June.
But when the time came, Olan was still in the preparation stage and delayed for another two months.
At the end of August, Oran took a boat to Northern France.
In early September, rebellion broke out in many uninhabited places in the kingdom's border areas.
It was a small-scale riot, but then there was an infantry regiment from the South Country, which began to penetrate deep into Oran's sphere of influence.
Friction between the two sides intensified.
And in October, intelligence came as Oran entered Swabia.
On the land of Britain, a new joint military operation against White Eagle was launched again.
In November, Olam's men, the infamous Beiwu Ke, were ambushed between Ireland and the Sino-British sea.
Then Ivar's Viking army showed its minions again, preparing to bloodbath Unsa,
Oran's nobles all received orders at the same time, and traveled lightly to the fortress not far from the battle.
This was not sent by the person in charge, Adisha, but by Olan’s handwriting!
On November 8th, all the nobles above the baron level arrived at the meeting place. Even King Lionheart, who had not been seen for a long time and was almost under house arrest, was also there.
Then Olan walked out dressed up, and everyone stood up nervously to greet him. Even the Lionheart King was like a subordinate.
Someone asked, "Sir, are you not..."
"What you see with your eyes may not be true, not to mention that some of you just hear it?"
Oran stole eight months to make the enemy think that he had made a mistake, and after more stabilizing the situation in the territory,
Send Nanding to the city of Rome, sit there secretly, and take a cold look at who will turn against you if he is not there?
Then several small lords were dragged out,
Oran pointed at them, "You are blind, colluding with the Vikings, reaping the benefits of the Southern Kingdom, splitting the Great Britain, it is useless to live."
The voices begging for mercy kept coming and going, helping Beiwuk to get out of the execution,
His status comes from the trust of Oran, and his reputation is very bad, not least because of these few heads.
He used the strength of his arms to directly twist the necks of these people, causing them to die in pain and throwing them into sacks.
"Breach of trust will lead to death. I received information about Ivar's illness last year, so I drove him away and made him angry to death. What do you think?
And send an army to the south to rob!
I only allow corpses to become fertilizer and nourish the soil,
The war has been suspended for more than a year, and I have made every one of you fat and healthy. Now you won’t be able to hold a sword, right?”
The Knights Hospitaller surrounded them inside and out. Oran smiled, Kunsang laughed, and Beiwuk laughed wildly. Then the red wine that was almost bloody was brought out, and everyone sang hymns, and then knelt down on one knee to pay the highest royal courtesy to Oran.
Oran's eagle robe waved, and they shouted long live.
Immortal.
