Chapter 559： New joint expedition plan

Chapter 559 New Joint Expedition Plan

The huge Balmerk mission arrived in Roseburg, and thousands of Roses were shaken up.

It is said that the Balmerks who are allied with their own side are also powerful, and now they are not so obvious.

Balmerk’s travelers jumped off their sledges and boarded the icy beach, marveling at the towering wooden walls and the large number of moored boats.

Rurik knew that they would come to visit in winter, but he didn't expect them to come with such a large number of people.

A large group of hungry guys arrived in Roseburg? Treating them in the friendship of the landlords means that Rurik is not happy whether he will be eaten and drunk by them for a long time.

Fortunately, the situation is not bad. These people are armed travelers, carrying silver coins and copper coins on their bodies. With their money, they can buy fresh seal meat and cod caught in the winter in Roseburg, and Rurik is also willing to sell them a batch of wheat at a fair price.

All the heads of Balmerk's family have sent messengers, all of whom are their sons.

After all, they were all comrades who fought side by side in Britain a year ago, and Rurik immediately entertained this large group of allies from afar in the chamber on the first floor of his palace.

In the state banquet of the Principality of Rus, Rurik is naturally particular about the issue of meals.

Rurik sat in the core seat, followed by Otto, Harozossen, Arik and others.

All the messengers are sitting on both sides.

In front of them there was a crystal glass plate made of die-casting, on which there was greasy grilled seal meat, honey ale, and a small amount of raspberry dried fruit. There is also Tao Weng here, which contains a thick soup of yellow carrots, cabbage, and onions. The most important thing is the bake of fine oat flour sifted through a twine sieve.

The delicious food was fragrant, and everyone held up their glasses to greet the wine.

Merely splitting the meal would be a bit monotonous. In everyone's astonishment, Nolan led the sisters holding musical instruments with a smile.

There was the sound of flutes and drums in the warm hall, and Nolen's eyes sometimes glanced at his two brothers. It was obvious that this girl was doing well in Rose.

It was another round of praise and politeness. The tired people ate this extremely luxurious meal, and their hearts were purified by the music. Everyone relaxed, and the exhaustion seemed to disappear.

A group of old Ross people like Otto were already familiar with Yongni, and the other messengers must have been dispatched by this person.

Otto is still blessed to be vigilant, Deriurik said bluntly, "Now everyone is full, Bijuni, you brought an expeditionary force to our territory. I am afraid that you are not only showing goodwill, but also fighting. demand."

Bijuni hurriedly raised his head to compliment: "You have the eyes of an eagle. Yes, I brought the request of Chief Balmerk."

"Fight? Who to fight?" Rurik raised his chest and glanced lightly at the corner of his mouth: "Let me guess, he must still attack Britain. You tasted the sweetness, and invited us to fight together. I remember we did this last year. Agreement."

The sudden joyful expressions of Biyuni and the envoys explained everything.

"That's true." Bijuni simply stood up, "Ross is very powerful. We will form a coalition and fight Northumbria. Didn't that king say? We are going to give us a territory, and we are going to get it this year."

"So your needs are more than that."

"Of course." Biyuni paced left and right, his blue eyes covered with bloodshot eyes, and a fire ignited in his pupils. "I heard that their core is York, so we went to fight York."

In fact, Rurik feels a little inappropriate. Did the Balmerks really become arrogant after a victory? It is certainly possible to attack York, but will such a reckless advance fail?

You should be as cautious as possible in warfare. After all, this is not to defend your own territory, but to actively attack others.

However, the brave and combative Roth guys who are even eager to fight need new battles! Young men also need to use a victory as a proof for men.

Rurik glanced at his father and exchanged glances with Otto.

His father’s attitude is very clear. Rurik should be responsible for Rose’s government affairs. He coughed twice and said solemnly, “We can fight Northumbria again. But our army may not send a lot of troops, and the current Danish problem It’s also very complicated."

"Are you worried about the Danes? Those guys are unbearable at Fira!" Bijuni showed contempt again.

"Denmark is important, but I encountered their leader when I returned last year. The strongest man in Denmark was killed by me!"

"Killed by you? You chopped off the man's head with a sword?" Biyuni showed an incredible expression again.

"I was hit by my big ship and turned into fish for food. Now Denmark is in chaos, so I am interested in gaining profits in Denmark rather than expedition to Britain."

"This...brother. I still want to attack Britain."

Rurik raised his right hand, "Let’s stop here. I will send troops, but this is a question of war, and we should all be cautious. We Rose will discuss it, and you and your friends will be treated. But. Your entourage..."

Rurik gave an arrangement that sounded great, "Rose is still building, and we need a lot of strong men. Your entourage cuts logs and transports ore for me, and I will pay for wheat and silver coins."

Coming to Ross again, the Biyuni and Froggy brothers once again took a very comfortable bath, and went into the steam room to enjoy the sauna.

Bijuni didn't ask about the ship right away. It was impossible to ask about it. The big ship stood on the beach.

Bijuni and the others rested for three days in a row. There were many new houses they built in Rose, and all the entourages got warm accommodation.

A new batch of reliable labor has appeared!

Rurik did not hesitate to give them a sum of money, and specially arranged for these guys to take a sled to the mountain to be miners.

This group of Balmerk men already have excellent physical strength, and only this can travel thousands of miles across the mountains to Rose. Another point is that Rurik needs this group of people to be stronger, so that they can have a greater advantage in possible future wars.

Hit Northumbria again? Directly rush to York this year to raise the town?

The former Rurik was really naive, but now he has a longing for such wars.

It has been nearly half a month since Biyonni came to Roseburg, and the three hundred entourages he brought have become complete miners. It is not enough to just give them money and wheat. This group of men has a very simple need, which is to add a better weapon to themselves.

An excellent steel sword? definitely no problem. But for the price, that is, a sixty silver coin, Rurik refused to bargain.

Even so, these Balmerk travellers have no complaints. Even if the people who make the sword are a group of young blacksmiths, they only hope that after a lot of effort, they can get a good sword that can cut off ordinary iron bars.

Kamnier and his guys, the blacksmith group that has swelled to nearly thirty people, are just looking young, but they are already masters in the craft of ironing.

The “Balmerk miners” followed the method of the Ross people, specifically, the “thermal expansion and contraction method” that Rurik told Clarvasson, setting fire and melting snow on the spot and splashing ice water to disintegrate the veins, which is not efficient and inefficient. Mining less.

Ore was poured into the blast furnace in Roseburg at an unprecedented rate, and even the supply of carbon blocks became tight.

They really don't know that Rurik actually earns a lot. The Balmerk travellers are willing to pay a huge amount of labor for a steel sword. They are actually cheaper and more efficient labor.

Kamnier and his guys adopted the method of frying steel in an all-round way, and after making carbon steel ingots based on experience, they kept forging them.

Compared with the carburized swords, these steel swords have superior performance and higher production efficiency.

It is precisely this way that the number of steel-armed crossbows in the Rus has also been greatly increased.

As far as the Duchy of Rus is concerned, the orthodox Rus fighters have been fully replaced with steel weapons, and now many people are eyeing the iron armor...

Living with real Ross people, from the surprise and envy at the beginning to now they have become more and more adaptable.

Brother Bironni Froki, the two are happy to walk around the wooden wall of Roseburg, then walk on the ice, chat with their sister, bow down to the gilded bronze statues of the gods in the open temple, and even tease Let’s take Rurik’s first daughter, Velika. In general affection, Biyuni is still this girl’s half-grandmother’s uncle.

He bought all the salt and whale oil Rurik, the former could be transported to Novgorod by the Rus as an intermediary, and the latter was an excellent raw material for lubricating oil and soap.

Bijuni is still waiting, hoping that Rurik will give an answer to the question of the dispatch of troops.

Just as time was approaching March, the Russ finally completed their discussions.

A military meeting was held on the first floor of the palace.

This is a private meeting, with only Rurik, Otto and Bijuni in attendance.

"Now that we have discussed it, it also includes taking the big ship sold to you to Balmerk." Rurik said solemnly.

Throughout the Duchy of Russ, the makers of Rurik’s military plan, others have no intention of questioning the fundamental issues, and only make suggestions on the minor issues.

Ross and Balmerk are allies. Since they are going to fight, of course everyone rushes forward together. But here is the question of master and second, and it is not only Ross who participated in the war, but Rurik deliberately pulled the vassal Ostala and Corvin together.

The Russians must be given the highest military command, specifically, Rurik is the commander-in-chief.

Rose will dispatch five hundred elite infantrymen, a "Warrior Flag Team", who will be equipped with the best weapons to fight.

Ross will also organize a shooting flag team composed of Corvins, Neo-Austalas, and elite mercenaries, with about 300 people.

The Russian army includes ship sailors and various types of fighters, and the total number will reach about 1,000.

"This is my plan. I must be the commander-in-chief. As for how much the Balmerks will send out troops, I hope you will have more people."

In fact, this information about the dispatch of troops was more frightening than Yongni.

Biyuni clutched his heart and asked, "Brother, these thousand people are going to arrive in Balmerk first? How do you do it? Could it be to organize a huge fleet?"

"Exactly." Rurik also felt that his plan was very risky, but once it succeeded, he proved that the Ross Fleet did have a strong expeditionary strength!

"But you... a fleet of 1,000 people. Do you rely on those big ships?"

"Brother Biyuni, this question of yours is unnecessary." Rurik insisted, "You are going to fight, okay! Since we form the coalition, we can’t make a fuss. I know that many Balmerks want Occupying a piece of British land and living, in order to avoid future troubles, we must defeat Northumbria in a war. Since we want to fight York, we can’t stick to pillaging, so we will occupy York and become the space for our brothers. "

Hearing about this crazier plan, Bijuni was overjoyed, and then asked, "Are you... are you planning to send all of Rose's big ships?"

"I will use eight large ships as ships, and at least ten armed cargo ships as attachments. You know, one of my large ships carries a hundred people on a long voyage. You know the purpose of my large ships."

Biyuni laughed out loud, "I understand. Transport a batch of goods to my hometown. More ships have to load loot in Britain."

"Exactly. I think you know during the battle. We suddenly appeared when the enemy had just finished harvesting the wheat. Regardless of their life and death, our brothers can eat wheat, and their farms and pastures should become us. of."

Biyuni was really happy, but he didn't know the purpose behind the Rurik brothers sullenly speaking such words was to annex Balmerk into a direct ruling power.

Fighting side by side and the Russian army is the main force, it is Rurik who wants to attract the attention of ordinary Balmerks through the powerful army.

People in the north worship heroes, and Rurik knows that he wants to provide them with the possibility of making money and making merit, and they become attached spontaneously.

In other words, the concept of Balmerk is meaningless. The 20,000 people who constitute Balmerk and the ice-free port are what Rurik desires.

Leading the Balmerks to victory again, he can ask all the heads of the family for recognition of his supreme power.

All plans have a prerequisite, that is, the Ross Expeditionary Force can kill Northumbria. As for how much the Balmerks would send troops, Rurik even hoped that they would not take the initiative to make too many people, so the honor belongs to Rose and himself.

Bijuni was very excited, and the battle of the Balmerks was eager for Ross to fully agree. He finally yelled: "We will send at least two thousand troops. We will organize an army of three thousand people, and then we will go to Shetland to recruit local fishermen. The huge army simply destroyed Northumbria. Let's be the new leader of Northumbria."

Rurik was also very happy to hear that, taking advantage of Bijuni's head and yelling: "Okay! You come to be the Principe of Northumbria, and you take the warriors to migrate and build power in warm territories. In this way There are fewer Alviks..."

Rurik shrugged deliberately again, "Norren's son and I had no choice but to inherit the power of his grandfather Magnut and continue to be the Principe of the Narvik area."

Rurik was really testing Bijuni's reaction, and the young man was laughing happily, and it was great to call this proposal directly.

This is what he said from the bottom of his heart!

Rurik also took advantage of the trend , poking his head and saying: "I know that your family does not have absolute power in Balmerk, so you need to win the battle for everyone to agree. We swear to the sun, we Brother must be extremely powerful. Brother Bijuni, maybe you can own the whole of Britain, which is your territory."

Rurik's words directly inspired Bijuni's strong ambitions, "Is this...really possible?"

"of course can!"

With a smile, Bijuni turned his head and looked at Rurik's eyes again, "But brother, you are more noble than me, why don't you want to be the leader of Britain? In my opinion, you can do it if you want."

This question is really caught off guard.

While listening, Otto burst into laughter, and his aging hand covered his son's head, "Biyuni, you still don't know my son. We Rus have been chasing the sun since ancient times, and we have been running towards the eastern world."

Rurik said immediately, "Yes. The west has a vast ocean full of unknowns, and the east is an endless sea-like forest. When we explore in different directions, we will become more prosperous."

Needless to say, Bijuni is looking forward to launching the ship belonging to the Balmerks. He also looked forward to the formation of a huge fleet of the Russians so that they could see their majestic military might. When he learned that the Russians would complete the "Eight-Eight Fleet" plan next year, they would be able to set off as the "Four-four Fleet" this year. Envy that can't be said.

It is a pity that the Balmerks are unable to build such a big ship, and there is no money to buy them on a large scale now.

Perhaps the only solution is to looting in Britain, or even an expedition to Frank, to get the treasure and then buy it from the Ross people.
