Chapter 114: The Puppy Picking Up the Ball
Although the capital of Alta is located in the north of the entire continent, it is considered a very warm area in the country of Alta.
In early March, although it is not spring here, it can be said that winter has completely passed.
The Royal Capital was within the range of the map that Olivia had lit up. Without any skills, she could zoom in on the map at any time to check the whereabouts of Caesar and all the forces in the Royal Capital.
Although she has the God's perspective skill but not Caesar, Olivia feels it is almost the same.
He first dispatched more than 10,000 people to camp very close to the royal capital, and then selected the best of the best from the Knights and the cavalry under his own command, gathering a thousand people, and personally led these 1,000 people to disappear in the royal capital.
Of course, disappearing means that in the eyes of various forces in the royal capital, his whereabouts could not escape Olivia's system monitoring.
Olivia was very curious about what Caesar would do next. She had never seen Caesar like this before.
He was like a navigation system, leading these thousand people to wander among various forces, always able to accurately avoid their main forces, burn a granary, or launch a surprise attack in the middle of the night.
All these forces wanted to capture them, but they were always led by the nose and ran into the main force of the other force.
Every day he would take a stroll like he was walking down the street, and the next day he would return to the camp unharmed with a thousand cavalrymen.
After the soldiers had eaten and drunk well and rested for a day or two, he took this group of elite troops out again.
He disappeared for a day and a night and then came back, actually implementing a work-one-rest-one-work system. His series of actions caused unrest in the huge capital city.
Seeing these things, Olivia felt inexplicably ashamed for keeping a large dog in a small garden.
She was always busy making money to support the family, and did not allow him to go to Vero Island to expand the territory and completely eliminate the pirates.
After all, if the pirates were gone, who would still be willing to pay protection fees to them and rely on their protection?
If there were no pirates, why would we build so many ships and maintain so many soldiers?
The neighbors have to rely on them because of this threat.
What's the point of having a barren place like Vero Island?
If she could, Olivia would want to take care of these pirates like babies.
Caesar understood this and obeyed her instructions very much. From then on, he only sent sailors to defend the coastal areas. He never wiped out the pirates and just ignored them once they were driven out of the coastal areas.
Now that he was in a place where he could have fun, he could finally stretch his hands and feet.
Olivia was also amazing.
It was another ordinary day in the camp of the royal capital. The cavalrymen had a good rest in the camp with good food and drink for the whole day, and got enough sleep, waiting to go out with the baron again today.
They have become accustomed to this rhythm and find it very interesting.
But something seemed wrong today. They waited for a whole morning, but the baron did not give any orders.
An aide-de-camp couldn't help but go to Caesar's tent out of curiosity, only to find that the baron was drawing a very accurate map.
This map contains the topography of the entire royal capital, and even records the number of garrisons, food supplies, and elite troops that can be mobilized by each faction in great detail.
The aide-de-camp suddenly realized that this was the real purpose of Caesar leading his soldiers to harass various troops these days.
After Caesar finished drawing the blueprint, he took the paper to find the Grand Duke and called a few lords.
Based on this detailed enemy situation, he proposed a very bold, rigorous and highly feasible plan to everyone.
The Grand Duke himself and the two lords then became completely serious and gradually began to feel some real admiration.
Olivia watches her child learn to crawl in Eindhoven.
It was mid-September last year, and now it is almost mid-March, so Christina is almost six months old.
The little baby, who is almost six months old, has successfully learned the skill of crawling and is learning to sit and stand.
Olivia found that the child was getting more and more beautiful as he grew up. His facial features were as delicate as a doll, and he had a big frame.
Maybe she will be tall, strong and beautiful in the future. Well, this is exactly the same as her daddy.
Christina has a good temper and is very patient.
Olivia put a little doll far in front of her, and she would always try her best to get it. After getting it, she would crawl back to her and hand the doll to her mother, like a loyal little puppy.
After spending two hours with the child every day, Olivia asked the servant to take Christina to breastfeed.
Guessing it was office hours, she came out of the living room and went to the study.
There were several letters from Caesar on the table, in which he had written a great deal.
What it meant was that he wanted to skip work every day and go home to see her and Christina. Even though there was no one he could beat outside, he still missed home.
Olivia finished reading the letter, picked up her quill, and first added some sugar coating, asking about the other's well-being for a while to express her concern.
Then give him some encouragement and praise his achievements outside.
After finishing the letter, she began to review the official documents sent from various places in Einweiden and reply to the letters from various barons.
The letter she wrote to Caesar was placed in a wax-sealed box by special cavalry and sent to the front line on an expedited basis.
As soon as the letter arrived, Caesar took it impatiently and carried it back to his tent to read it.
He read the previous words and felt inexplicably aggrieved by her caring and concerned attitude.
In fact, he doesn't feel that his life is hard, and he can quickly adapt to any environment.
But whenever Olivia asked how the food and drinks were, Caesar began to feel that he was like a weed outside, and that he was not living like a human being without her.
Just when the longing was about to take over his mind and make him sentimental, he glanced down and saw Olivia's words of encouragement again.
In the letter, Olivia boasted about his achievements and said that she told Christina every day that her father was a very powerful man, brave, resourceful and tenacious.
She also said that he is Christina's role model and she hopes that Christina will be like him in the future.
The letter also said that Christina had learned to crawl, had grown a lot taller, and was very strong. She might be a good candidate for horse riding and archery in the future.
After reading the letter, Caesar was reluctant to burn it in the brazier like other military newspapers. After thinking about it, he decided to tear a hole in his pillow and stuff the letter in.
This way, you can still smell the familiar scent on the letter paper when you go to sleep.
After reading the letter for a long time, he didn't want to sleep. He wanted to lead the army to fight all the battles immediately, finish the work quickly and go home early.
After his military action plan was handed over to the Grand Duke and the two lords, they had a heated debate on whether to carry it out.
Caesar waited patiently for half a day before the Grand Duke made the final decision, and he agreed.
After getting permission, Caesar put on his armor expressionlessly, mobilized all the soldiers that could be mobilized in the camp at once, and launched an unprecedented blitzkrieg, aiming directly at the impregnable defense line of the royal capital's walls.
All the forces, big and small, in the capital could sense the ferocity and cunningness of this attack.
Eindhoven, mid-March, winter in Eindhoven is finally coming to an end.
Olivia and Theresa are preparing dresses for the spring and summer seasons.
Not long ago, in a distant overseas plantation, Jagabu set foot on the land again after a few months and accidentally discovered two new crops. Now these two crops have entered the large-scale planting stage.
This story began last year when he and Letilen were ordered to go to the southern islands to purchase and reserve food and necessary iron ore and other supplies.
In late January, after arriving in the warm south, they encountered sudden heavy rain and crosswinds when they were about to reach the island.
The fleet could only dock at the nearest island to take shelter from the wind.
Unexpectedly, just this one stop allowed Letilen and Jagabu to find plants they had never seen before on the island.
Tomatoes and cotton.
There are only about a hundred residents on the island, and the island is not much bigger than their plantation, but it has these two magical plants.
When Jagabu saw the islanders using cotton to spin yarn and weave cloth, he immediately realized that this was a good thing that could change the northerners' food, clothing, housing and transportation.
He immediately contributed money and supplies to purchase cotton seeds from the islanders. After eating a bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes at the hospitable islander's home, he also bought tomato seeds.
When he returned to the plantation, he began to direct the spring plowing on the island and planned the time for sowing these things.
About this autumn, before the cold winter, five or six hundred acres of cotton will be harvested from the island plantations.
He brought the tomato seeds back to Eindhoven, and the ship returned to port around mid-March, which was yesterday.
Olivia and Theresa learned the good news brought back by Jacopo and Letilan.
After reporting the news, Jagabu went to several estates in the valley to prepare for the spring plowing in the north in April.
Although the cotton on the plantation had not yet been planted, Olivia and Theresa had already received several large bags of island cotton brought back from the ship.
They were fascinated by the cotton in front of them. The yarn spun from this cotton had a beautiful luster that was completely lacking in linen and wool.
The fabric woven with cotton yarn is breathable and soft. No resident in the fortress likes the pillows and quilts made of cotton.
Olivia was also very relieved.
The plantation will be able to harvest at least hundreds of thousands of pounds of cotton this fall.
If all this cotton were used to make cotton clothes for people in the north, how many ordinary people would be spared from the ravages of the cold?
She thought with emotion that after playing this game for so long, she could finally make all the people in her territory, regardless of their wealth, meet the two simple needs of food and clothing.
