"Bang bang bang bang bang", endless gunfire and occasional rumbling grenade thunder sounded in the distance.

Next to the puddle of grass slope, Lu Ning watched several water spiders on the water surface quickly running through the aquatic plants with interest.

Beside him, a red-haired man stood respectfully, a senior member of the Black Sea Provincial Cult. His hometown should be in Norway's Viking, whose name is Luo Ge. His Viking name is Luo Ge, and his name is Luo Ge, which is in line with the same name as Luo Ge.

In the distance, several Mamluk female soldiers carrying rifles were cruising and patrolling.

Several more Kurdish female soldiers were pulling up their tents.

Nugaha stood behind Lu Ning. In addition, Eugene Zhu and Zhen, who had just arrived, were also sitting next to rest. However, when they heard the strange noises in the distance, Eugene Zhu seemed a little excited, while Zhen was obviously nervous.

Lu Ning was already planning to set up a camp here, and the rest of the matters were done by his subordinates. He was here to coordinate the planning.

Luo Gezheng reported that the northern road was opened and he was going to preach the living areas of the northern Vikings, East Prussians and other barbarians.

The barbarians along the coasts of Northern Europe and the Baltic Sea are now trying to spread to their regions, with many forced means such as swords and other means to promote them.

Like Mohammed, the current missionary process is often accompanied by bloody killings.

Luo Ge also talked about this. He hoped that while promoting education in the Prussian living area, he could recruit barbarian knights to form the Heavenly Dao Knights Order to fight against the influence of the armed believers of Catholicism and use force to promote the spread of the Heavenly Daoism.

Of course, this requires a lot of financial support.

In Luo Ge's eyes, Lu Ning was the head of the Royal Black Sea Bank and was once the head of the sect. He hoped to apply for special funds to win people's hearts to establish the Knights, build the Knights headquarters fortress, etc.

Lu Ning listened to Luo Ge and thought to himself that this guy had a more forward-looking mind.

The religious and military organization Knights was still a while before it was born. After the Crusades, Christians became more and more keen on using force to attack pagans, and various knights emerged.

"Wait until your sect makes some achievements in the north, and decide depending on the situation." Lu Ning said with a smile.

Of course, this kind of thing is that there is no rabbit or eagle, and money is wasted in front of you.

Luo Ge naturally understood that what he wanted was President Wen’s current promise, and said happily: “Okay, the good news for the Master is waiting for me.”

...

In the evening when the sun was full of red clouds, accompanied by Husidasi Khan of the Dalamati tribe, Varakhan, the leader of the Zouwuer tribe, came to Lu Ning and others to visit the Qi envoy.

Walahan was a deep-eyed old man with wrinkles on his face, his face full of wind and frost.

The gunshots and grenades in the afternoon were naturally not the Qi army that launched an attack on Zou Wuer's army. However, it was also the Zou Wuer's army that discovered the enemy's sudden appearance. Instinctively reacted, and organized cavalry to launch an attack. As a result, under the deterrence of the Qi army's firepower, it was defeated before the battle.

Wala Khan still had cold sweat on his body now. There was no doubt that if the Qi people came with malicious intentions, his tribe would have suffered severe damage.

Hu Sidasi is his old acquaintance.

The two met when their father met when they were young and had known each other for decades, but they were absolutely unfamiliar with old friends because Zou Wuer's tribe has repeatedly bullied the Dalamati tribe.

The Taramati tribe had no choice but to move south and throw himself into the arms of Qi people, but did not want to meet this time. Hu Sidasi became his savior. From Hu Sidasi's words, he knew that the Qi people had no malicious intentions, but wanted to help him and become the Khan of the entire Pecheneg grassland.

But Hu Sidasi made it clear that the Qi people did not want to go directly to war with Yiertian's troops, led by Pecheneg Khan.

Wala Khan was a little helpless. If this happens, the Qi people forced themselves to go to war with Yiertian tribes, so how could they help them ascend to the position of Pecheneg Khan?

But if you don’t agree, Qi Ren’s butcher’s butcher’s knife will probably fall.

Looking at the young messenger of Qi, Walahan was slightly surprised, as if the mosquitoes did not dare to touch the messenger of Qi, and he did not feel that the insects were scented with the smell of insect-proof Central Plains potions on his body.

Moreover, the messenger of this Qi people was able to communicate with him in Pecheneg, which surprised Valakhan even more.

"Zuan, if our troops go to war directly with Yiertian people, our troops do not have much chance of winning. It can even be said that they will definitely lose because we are not friendly. If our children enter Yiertian people's grassland in large quantities, it will definitely arouse their alertness and it will be difficult to launch a sneak attack. Yiertian people's population, horses, cattle and sheep, are two or three times that of our troops." Varah Khan's face was full of disgrace.

Lu Ning looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "There is no need to attack. You can join forces here and invite the other leaders of the tribes to unite against Yiertian people, divide their population and cattle and sheep. You can reveal the news and say that I, Daqi, support you!"

Walahan smiled bitterly. How could it be that simple? Besides, the Qi people have never used any war here. I only heard that the Qi people are powerful. But if you just say that the Qi people support their empty words and white teeth, and think of the other tribes? That is nothing different from a dream.

Lu Ning said again: "In addition, I, Daqi, can advance the generous rewards paid to the warriors of all races for you. After the matter is completed, you can use Yi'er's population to increase, horses, cattle and sheep to make up for the number of horses, cattle and sheep."

Walahan's eyes lit up immediately, "Sir, I don't know how much money can I pay?"

Lu Ning said: "If your division is large, Daqi can pay 10,000 silver dollars first, and the other divisions will pay varied according to the size of their efforts."

By using barbarians to control barbarians, the Byzantines often did this. When their power extended to the Crimean Peninsula and when they ruled the Bulgarian region and bordered the Pecheneg people, they often provoked vendetta between the Pecheneg tribes to ease the pressure on the imperial border.

Nowadays, the credit of Daqi's currency has been recognized by the Black Sea mercenaries and is more popular than Byzantine currency.

Walla Khan quickly calculated that even if Qi people paid paper money, they could actually be used and exchanged in the Black Sea Province, and it also avoided the trouble of carrying a lot of gold and silver. There was no need to worry about paying for silver and money.

The remuneration paid by the Qi people was also quite considerable, and two or three other ministries would inevitably participate.

This is equivalent to the fact that the people of the whole country pay to help them plunder Yiertian's population and cattle and sheep. As long as the coalition forces can defeat Yiertian's people, they will make sure to make a profit.

And it greatly weakened Yi'er's tribe, and his tribe had coveted the best pasture land for a long time.

But what if there are not many tribes that respond to, and you will be defeated by Yiertian instead?

Seeing the change of Walla Khan's face, Lu Ning was worried, greedy, and excited in his eyes, and couldn't help laughing. In the Western world, the power of money is greater than anything else. After all, except for barbarians, they are barbarians who have just entered a civilized society. Even the Byzantines, the traditional concept of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness in the Central Plains. Everything is first of all. It is natural for senior generals to launch a rebellion after strong strength and will not be subject to any moral condemnation. It is natural for knights and civilians to fight for money.

The religion that gradually spread to European barbarians was just a fig leaf for killing and looting.

After all, like the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, he had just killed Pope Gregory V, who was unwilling to be a puppet, and it was a kind of abuse. Gregory V's ears, nose and tongue were cut off, his eyes were blinded, and his hands were broken. After a few years of perseverance, he just died not long ago.

So, how pious can their faith be?

Problems that can be solved with money are not a problem now.

Lu Ning thought of this sentence inexplicably and shook his head helplessly. In Europe, try not to use weapons to avoid being aggressive as an alien civilization to cause some backlash. It is quite good to solve various things quietly and maximize the interests of the people.
