The East Mirror of the Iron Fort Kingdom.

A group of invaders from the north entered the kingdom and attacked the city with impunity.

In the face of the aggressor's full-scale assaults like wind, attack, thunder, and rainbow, the castles fell one after another, field battles continued to fiasco, and the situation deteriorated day by day.

In just three months, the East Mirror of the Iron Fort Kingdom and the 20 earl lands of Prince Lawrence have fallen to 14 successively.

In addition to the 2 counts ’kingdoms that have been trapped in the kingdom of Copper Mountain in the south, Prince Lawrence looked around and was shocked to find that in his hands, only the capital of the Iron Fort and the surrounding 4 counts’ counties remained. Under the accelerated attack rhythm of the group of invaders in the north, the four counts, except for a few solitary castles, are still resisting. All villages, populations, land, and mines are in the hands of the group of invaders.

"What should I do? What should I do? How can the demons in the north drive away those demons!"

Iron Fort, Lawrence, who can hear bad news almost every day, walks back and forth in the court, like a drowner, grabbed the side of the palace's hand, and suffered many blows. There is no noble pride of the former king, only despair and pessimism about the future of the kingdom.

"It's not good! His Majesty the King is not good anymore, Fort Vale was defeated by the army in the north, and Earl Wentington died in battle!"

"What? How is it possible?" Lawrence stood up from the Iron Throne with a look of disbelief. The whole body of Fort Valais was made of iron ingots, and the city walls were taller than Iron Castle. How could it fall so quickly?

"Her Majesty the King! Ironforge has also fallen, and Earl Hart of Ironforge is killed!"

"What ?!" Lawrence fainted and almost fell to the ground. Ironforge is the kingdom's largest iron ore smelting base. 40% of the iron ingots in the kingdom are produced here. Ironforge can be said to be the foundation of the kingdom. , Has actually fallen?

Uh ...

Soon afterwards, a large lineup of troops arrived outside the Iron Fort City. After setting up the camp, the Iron Fort City was surrounded.

"In other words, why do you like to cast cities with iron ingots? Isn't it good to use stones?"

Looked at the huge brown-yellow steel city, which was made of massive iron ingots and was brown and yellow in front, riding Zhou Ming on the horse and couldn't help laughing.

Indeed, this kind of castle made of iron and steel can't be exploded with powerful black powder, but the metal is afraid of acid. A dye workshop in the Grand Collar workshop just has a kind of strong acid dye, which is concentrated by evaporation After that, a strong acid made has a strong corrosive effect on the metal. A dozen centimeters thick iron ingot will erode through you in a few days. Then put enough gunpowder in the corroded hole and bang. , A steel fortress known as "never fall", so fell.

"Boom ~"

A loud noise continued for more than a month after the siege, the thick iron gate of the Iron Fort City was blown open, and after a fierce battle for the gates, in a burst of cheers, tens of thousands of troops poured into this almost never experienced In the war-torn city, after eliminating all resistance, the soldiers responsible for the search seized and put on civilian clothes, but because the treasures were too much, Lawrence, who showed his feet, and a glass of poisonous wine, sent him on the road.

So far, but for half a year, the 20 earl lords of the East Mirror of the Iron Fort Kingdom and the iron castle city of Wangdu, in addition to the two earl lords occupied by the Tongshan Kingdom, the remaining 18 pieces were all controlled by Zhou Ming and participated in the southern invasion together In the hands of seven counts.

"The Tongshan Kingdom is currently the largest trading partner and the largest source of slave population for the Chamber of Commerce. If the army of the Tongshan Kingdom is beaten, will it have a little impact on trade?"

Zhou Ming thought about it, anyway, sooner or later, the Kingdom of Tongshan is the big fat in his mouth, it is better to send an army to engage him fiercely, let him suffer a bit!

Therefore, Zhou Ming gave the thief Jero a mercenary group of more than 3,000 thieves, and asked him to go to the 2 Earl Territories occupied by the Copper Mountain Kingdom, whether it was playing sapsticks, digging traps, or playing ambushing, fighting guerrillas. In short, the army of the Copper Mountain Kingdom cannot be allowed to stay comfortably on these two territories, otherwise the Copper Mountain Kingdom, which has both copper and iron, will come up with a slightly strategic monarch, maybe it will grow into The new No. 1 medium power.

After the thief Jero led his life, he did not disappoint Zhou Ming, and took his "thieves group", only tossing on the two territories for half a year, the invading army of the Tongshan Kingdom, whose spirit collapsed, ignored the king's strict orders, Bringing a few pieces of iron ingots that he didn't get, he fled back to the country without permission. Zhou Ming sent a team of horses and took over these two territories.

the other side.

The western border of the Iron Fort Kingdom, several surrounding kingdoms that invaded, facing the desperate resistance of the Duke of Milton, not only did it not take advantage of it, but instead damaged the soldiers and jumped a **** tooth.

For example, King Herian of the Kingdom of Warris, he brought a knight of more than 2,000, plus a sergeant (the sergeant system has been adopted by many lords because of its easy operation), a total of 20,000 people, and he is full of spirits. Plan to devour at least 6 or more Earl's lords in the Iron Fort Kingdom, wait for these territories to be digested, and then go northward to eliminate all the rebellions in the country that do not comply with orders!

The king, who was in his prime, was already thinking of the scene where the seven Yankees knelt in front of themselves side by side, and were finally pushed out by him.

However, his illusions, when he and his army, on the road that had already laid down two counties, and continued south, preparing to take another territory, in a thick, muddy, swampy valley with black bubbles , Was suddenly burned by a huge fire that burst from all around the swamp.

An army of 20,000 people was burned and burned, and two thirds of them were killed.

It turned out that many of the land in the western part of the Iron Fort Kingdom is such a black marsh with grunts of bubbles. The bottom of this swamp is buried with a large amount of shallow oil. After the oil penetrates the surface, the natural gas bubbles and Toxic bitumen is a very easily ignited substance, Herian's lack of knowledge led to a fiasco.

Withdrawing from the army and returning home, not long after, I was shocked to hear that the 40,000-strong army of the Free Business Alliance had taken all the territory of the East Mirror of the Iron Fort Kingdom, Herian in the court of the city of Woz, almost vomiting blood, and issued continuously After seven or eight king convocation orders and withdrawal orders, no one birded him.

"You **** rebels and thieves, you all wait for me, I will definitely make you pay!"

Herian, who had a sigh of relief in his chest, had no desire to open up the territory at all. He just wanted to train a powerful army, sweep across the north, and kill all the traitors!

Uh ...

After winning the 20 counts of the Iron Fort Kingdom and occupying the Iron Fort City of the capital, Zhou Ming did not formulate the next expansion plan because of lack of troops. Instead, they sat together and discussed the 21 territories. Distribution problem.

profit distribution.

This is a key issue that must be faced in any field, any organization, any team!

The cake is allotted, hello, hello, everyone. If the cake is not well divided, even the best brothers may have a knife to cut each other.

As for the 21 territories, how to allocate them, the seven counts have their own ideas.

Some counts proposed one person, three pieces, and seven counts, which happened to be divided, and no one would suffer.

But this proposal was immediately rejected, because of the seven counts, the amount of contribution is different, some have more soldiers, some have more money, some have heavy casualties, and some have seized a lot ... If these are Factors are taken into account, I am afraid that no matter how they are allocated, there will be some people dissatisfied, and some people will pat the table.

Therefore, the distribution of benefits is harder than winning a battle.

"I have a proposal. I don't know the counts, will you listen?"

As the quarrel became more and more intense, Zhou Ming got up and said something.

"What proposal, Edward, you say." The old earl sitting on the head said kindly, Edward has always had many ideas, maybe he has some good suggestions.

Everyone looked at him.

Zhou Ming looked around for a week and said, "I think the land of these 21 territories is still too little, and it is not enough for everyone to share. It is better to wait for several kingdoms to be divided and then divide these kingdoms one by one. It ’s also a good point. Do you think this is the case? "

"Si ~"

Hearing this, the people took a breath, his heart pumped violently, and turned to beat violently.

There was a Earl who had just scrambled for the red face. After receiving this terrifying message, he was dumbfounded and muttered in his mouth: One kingdom per person? how is this possible?

But thinking about it again, the counts found that it was not impossible. If it was still a few years ago, tell them to build an elite army, not to mention 20,000, that is, 2000 people are very difficult. This is only a few years? They can easily pull out a large army of 20,000 people.

Looking at Zhou Ming again, everyone thinks that this kid is a monster. With only a small baron collar, he pulled out 20,000 horses, and his elite level is no different from those brought by them. If all the territories are like Gran Get that, and the result ...

"As for the 21 territories on hand, I propose to establish an" Iron Fort United States ", which is temporarily hosted by the Free Business League, elect a chairman to manage, and set up an elder council and seven elders to participate in the management of the United States. The United States enjoys the right to supervise and vote in all matters. Moreover, every year the United States generates income, every elder has a certain share of the right to income ... "

Zhou Ming said his other vision.

After listening to this idea, everyone's eyes lit up.

The "United States" system proposed by Zhou Ming, under the condition of mutual checks and balances and mutual supervision, not only protects the interests of everyone, but also can concentrate on major affairs, reducing many constraints. If this system works well, save Don't worry about it, there is a lot of income every year. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Just like the free business alliance founded by Zhou Ming, the seven ears are not very familiar with the detailed rules of the operation of the business alliance, but it is undeniable that because of the existence of the business alliance, the seven ears can only So worried, lying in the castle, hundreds of thousands of gold coins are credited every year.

Therefore, regarding the selection of the chairman of the "Iron Fort United States", the counts decided to make Zhou Ming the chairman of the United States, because no one besides him could come up with the "United States".

However, Zhou Ming, who was supposed to be secretly secret at this time, suddenly picked up and said, "I can be the chairman, but I have a small condition."

Conditions?

"What conditions?" Asked an earl.

"I want to be the earl of Lord Lodz. Earl Lautz has always wanted to put me to death ... And I also need a territory close to the Iron Fort United States to facilitate the administration of the United States."

Shortly after Zhou Ming led his troops into the Iron Fort Kingdom, Earl Lautz, who had been looking for an opportunity to avenge his three sons, seized this opportunity. Last month, with thousands of soldiers and horses, he madly besieged Gran Collar, I want to kill Zhou Ming, a common enemy, even before he is dead, but also to kill him a few relatives and tell him to taste the pain.

"Yes!"

The counts thought about it and nodded one after another. In fact, Zhou Ming ’s merits, not to mention the count, are enough to seal a duke, but they, these counts, do not have this kind of authority for the king. Now Zhou Ming To say that you want to become the earl of Lord Lodz, you actually want the land of Earl Lautz.

As for the title of the earl, they admit privately that they can, but it must be publicly recognized by everyone, and they have to get the prince of the king or church.
