The Rise of Iceland

Vol 3 Chapter 337: Talk before the couch

     The city of Trondheim was the capital and center of the ancient Vikings, but it is now in decline.

   Olaf and Hadar are ambitious, and now it is time to take advantage of Sweden’s use of troops against Denmark to send an army from Iceland to capture Trondheim’s rifted territory in Norway.

   Due to Norway’s weakness, the northern population and the garrison are also small, and Denmark has no time to take care of it, Iceland can capture Trondheim as long as a brigade is part of the division.

   Hadar, Olaf, and Ulav were very excited and hugged them hard before sitting back on their seats.

   "How to fight? Who to send?" Hadar looked at his two sons and asked.

Olaf hadn’t spoken yet, Ulav said first: “Olav is going to take troops to attack Denmark. Your majesty can’t see it. You can’t leave your father in this chaos. Assemble the soldiers. Uncle Hudik and Uncle Hoskurd are also brave and good generals. We can form a 5,000-man Viking Raydan army. With the suppression of our warship artillery, Trondheim, as a seaside city, will surely be able to take advantage of it. Down!"

Olaf also echoed: "Yes, it is best for Ulav to go back, but you must send troops as quickly as possible to return to Iceland. Even if the two Leidang regiments are organized in the east, it will take five days, plus the attack. The time on the Trondheim road is estimated to be wasted more than ten days. It happened to be when we captured Kalmar and Gothenburg to threaten Copenhagen. You must shoot Trondheim as soon as possible, or wait until Christian IV asks for peace talks. There is no reason!"

Ulav also knew the priorities. He was about to speak again, and Hadar had already made a final decision: "You go now, let Anne go back to her father. You take a few more boats, and you will also bring food and supplies when you depart from Iceland. Enough, listen to Hudick, let’s go!"

   Ulav nodded and got up and left.

Olaf and Hadar discussed the tactics of attacking Kalmar, and finally Olaf said: “It’s not difficult to win Kalmar together inside and outside. There are elites from Magdeburg, Prussia and Saxony, and the most important thing is Warren. Stan is also with him. I don’t think this battle will be too difficult. Let Half follow along and learn."

Hadar had no choice but to say, "Well, isn't Half going to learn strategy from Wallenstein as a teacher? Let him follow you this time, and let him go back with Wallenstein after the war. If this kid is willing Learn, our family will have one more general in the future!"

Time was spent bit by bit in the tense preparations for the war. The next day Olaf went to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to ask for military supplies, etc. The Chancellor was also from the Uxenchena faction, and his face was very stinky throughout the process, but it seemed to be. After receiving Gustav II’s order, I dared not refuse to give it. He approved the paperwork and gave it to Olaf, and said, "They are all in the warehouse.

Olaf didn’t say much and turned and left. In the past few days, he also sent out his hands to inquire about the news. He knew that Uksenshina had already raised the army at this time and was training outside the city, and his army needed munitions last night. He was sent to the big ship at the pier.

Olaf knew that the chancellor of the Exchequer could not cause trouble for himself, and he did not wish to be treated the same as Uksenschena. He knew in his heart that after this war, Gustaf II had reason to treat his faction. The "Young Main Party" has been greatly rewarded and conferred by officials. At that time, after the Young Main Party and the Uxenschener faction are promoted and adjusted, the Swedish politics will no longer be Uxenschener's staff. It is not a veteran's iron plate, mixed with sand, and in the future, Olaf's people will charge in the front, and Christina will have a better life after he takes the throne.

I know that Gustav II is using himself, but this is also because he has the value to use. The world is a vanity fair, and the truth is that if you don’t advance or retreat, Olaf knows very well that he wants to do a lot of things, if he can control The Swedish government is not in a hurry to benefit Iceland and Vinland, and it can improve its status, prestige, ability, and personal connections.

   In the eyes of Gustav II, he used Olaf as a knife to protect Christina's kingship. In Olaf's eyes, he used the shell of the Swedish Empire to incubate his own egg.

   Seeing Uksenchena’s army trained outside the city for a few days, they were ready to set off. Soldiers from Magdeburg, Prussia, and Sax also arrived outside the city by boat.

   Olaf asked Wallenstein to lead the army to run-in training first, and then lead his Icelandic guards to carry supplies.

   When it was noon, the guards of the palace ran up on horses, and after saluting respectfully, they said, "Your Majesty, please go over immediately."

   "What's wrong? Is the condition repeated again?"

   Olaf raised his brow and asked.

   The guard smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, I'm just a messenger, how can I know such a secret thing?"

   Gustaf II has been resting in the palace since he woke up, and some officials have been summoned to see him.

   Within a few days, Uxen Siena had been there twice, but it was the first time that Gustav II had heard of Olaf alone.

   Li Sheng had been taking care of Gustav II's body in the palace. Olaf hadn't been able to see him. He didn't know what was going on. He didn't know what was going on. He mounted his Bailu Haisen, and a gust of wind disappeared.

   After a while, Olaf walked into Gustav II’s bedroom and saw him wearing a velvet pajamas leaning on the head of the bed. Li Sheng was massaging acupuncture points for him.

   After many days, I will look at Gustav II again. At this time, his face is ruddy, his cheeks are slightly bulged, and he looks much healthier.

   "Olav, you should now understand what my arrangement means, right?" Gustav II asked straightforwardly.

Olaf knew that he knew his life was coming soon, so he became a little impatient, and hurriedly replied: "The minister understands that you want me to win the support and assistant Christina of the noble soldiers who have nothing to do with the landlord and aristocrats in Sweden. The minister has already done so. NS."

Gustav II nodded in satisfaction and said: "I see, you are doing a good job. Wallenstein can fight, but his **** is not clean. The fief is closest to Bavarian. This kind of person is best controlled. , Duke Albert relied on Sweden’s crusade against Habsburg to pick up a duchy of saxophone. Originally, their branch had never been able to touch the rights of the duchy. Prussia...Williams were stubborn, but the national power was insufficient. These people It’s the strongest outside of the Swedish empire’s native nobles, but it’s easy to control. You are the leader to win them over. Christina, although young, can still inherit my position as the emperor, and take charge of the Swedish empire, Olaf, in the future. rely on you!"

   Olaf suddenly had this sense of sight of Baidi City~www.readwn.com~ He bowed and said: "Your Majesty is serious, the minister will only do what you ask me to do."

Gustaf II smiled and said: "You are an Icelander, let alone your identity loss, how much can your island support you? You assisted Christina in Sweden, and you will be named in history later. This is a big deal for you. opportunity."

   "The minister understands!" Olaf bowed again.

The monarch and the courtier talked for a long time. This time it was basically Gustav II speaking and Olaf listened. After a long while, Gustav II yawned twice, and Li Sheng also saw Olaf. A little impatient, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest."

Gustav II can only live for a few more days thanks to Li Sheng, so he listened to his words the most, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Then Olaf, go back, fight a good battle, and give me a reason to reuse you. !"

   Olaf thanked him and quit. Li Sheng sent him to the door and whispered: "Ao Gong, Long live Lord's body is recovering well, and he should be able to last for ten or twenty days."

   Olaf knew it in his heart, and while secretly exclaiming that Gustav II had a strong desire to survive, he whispered: "A good student is waiting. If there is a situation when I am away, I want to notify my father."

   Li Sheng bowed his hands in a deep voice, and said, "Li understands, but it's okay to go with Ao Gong."

   Olaf resolutely turned around and strode out of the back fort of the Third Crown Palace.
