MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 522 Her Majesty's Conspiracy
Chapter 522 Your Majesty's Imperative
Viscount Don Bagiro spent three days in the royal city of Polynesia, and was content to take the regiment's officers and men on his return journey. The purpose of his trip as a special envoy of the Kingdom this time was very successful, or it can be said that it exceeded his expectations before he came. The two generals of the Overseas Autonomous Leadership Area spoke very well. While satisfying him to take away the gold and silver reserves worth 1.5 million kronor, he also packed all the unused armaments and materials seized in the Allied Army Camp. He took them and even sent a regiment of light cavalry to **** them back.
Since both Claude and General Bolognik were so hospitable and hospitable to them, they did not make him a special envoy. Then Viscount Don Bagilo also reciprocated and explained more of what he knew about the kingdom change hosted by Marquis Blanchard, to General Claude and General Bolognik, so that the two kingdoms will know more about them. Details of Wangdu's political situation, the three got along very well in just three days.
Originally as a special envoy of the Kingdom, in addition to transferring the gold and silver reserves seized by Claude and others, Viscount Don Bagilo also assumed responsibility for examining the merits of the Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps. And also to check the storage of those properties that belonged to the former Naseli royal family. Even the seven small and medium-sized gold and silver mining bases should also check the real situation ...
However, the envoy of the envoy pushed all this to General Claude and General Bolognik to handle it. He said that he did not have time, and Wang Ting waited for this gold and silver reserve to be used up urgently. He just took away the two army's request for merit and promotion list. He said that with the combat power of the Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps, plus the two days of contact with General Crowd and Bolognik, he believed that the two generals He is not a man who can falsify in this respect. He believes in the character of the two generals.
It was precisely because of this unreserved trust of Viscount Don Bagilo, that both Claude and General Bolonique were moved. So he handed over all the unused armaments and weapons and ammunition captured in the coalition camp to the envoy, and brought him back to the kingdom to enrich the arsenal of the kingdom. These armament materials and weapons and ammunition are indeed useless for overseas autonomous military command areas, but for Wang Ting, they are the best aid for the formation of local defense forces.
These seized arms, weapons and ammunition worth millions of kronor were given to the kingdom in this way, and Claude felt no pity. To him, these things are like chicken ribs, which are unsightly and unfortunately lost. Things like healing potions, bandages, blankets, tents, washbasins and other things can come in handy, but things like military uniforms, leather boots belts, military kettles, and the legionnaires and local guards in the autonomous region now The officers and men are not worthy of the suit.
Occasionally it ’s okay to take some as a souvenir collection of victory, but it is not necessary if you carry it with you. In addition, those weapons and ammunition are even inconspicuous by legionnaires. Even if you want to sell these things, it is difficult to find a suitable buyer. Even if you buy it, you will be hit to the lowest price. In this case, it would be better to cheap the kingdom, and at the same time be able to sell personal favors in front of the special envoy. In the future, the king can also have multiple people to say something good for the overseas dominion ...
Watching the last time Viscount Don Bagilo poked his body out of the carriage and waved farewell here, General Crowd and General Bolognik also raised their hands to salute the departure of the envoy of the Kingdom, and ordered the military band standing next to play again. With a cheerful piece of music, I wish Viscount Don Bagilo all the best. Until the envoy of the Special Envoy was escorted by the guards and chasing the long-distance horse convoy, General Crowd and General Bolonick turned and returned to the royal city of Polynesia.
"Go for a walk on the city walls," General Bolognik said.
So Claude accompanied him to the city wall, and their deputies and guards were behind them by a distance of ten meters, so as not to disturb the interest of the two generals walking on the city wall.
"Look at the scenery here ..." General Bolognik said, then pulled out two cigars from his pocket and handed them to Claude. After lighting the fire, the two smoked slowly on the wall.
"What do you think of the secret plan proposed by Viscount Don Bagilo about Prime Minister Blanchard's proposal? Is that the plan to grant hereditary aristocracy to hereditary feudal territory?" General Bolognik asked suddenly. During the three days, the two of them were either accompanying the envoy or busy with their official duties, and did not have time for private discussions and exchanges. Now that the special envoy had left, General Bolognik was anxious to hear Claude's analysis.
Claude exhaled a cigarette and watched the smoke in the air in front of him to make two circles. Then he slowly thought and replied, "In fact, I have always thought that Viscount Don Bagilo came here another time. One purpose is to reveal to us this plan for feudal aristocracy to adopt hereditary feudal territory and see how we react ... "
General Bolognik nodded: "I feel the same way, but it is strange to me that we are from overseas dominions. According to the truth, Wang Ting should be very taboo and disgusted with us. After all, we dominate the kingdom's colony in the mainland of Nubia Autonomy, to the kingdom, we should also be regarded as alternative insurgents. Even if this time to send troops to save the kingdom in crisis, Wang Ting should not take the initiative to think of granting us territories, they can use our excuses from overseas dominions. Excluding us from the list of hereditary nobles who confer territories ... "
Claude sneered, he did not answer General Bolognik's question, but changed the topic: "In the past two days, I was very interested in Prime Minister Blanchard who proposed this feudal feudal plan for the feudal aristocracy. He was deliberately asked to inquire about his situation. The collected report said that the full name of Prime Minister Blanchard was Blanchard Severio, 41 years old, who was the guard leader of His Majesty's youth. , Grow up with Your Majesty.
Our Prime Minister comes from the Sevillo family, which is another big family in the old noble family. The kingdom's third-largest military industry Severio's arms manufacturing workshop was led by their family and was formed by joining the remaining six established noble families. It's just that our Prime Minister is not the biological son of the Sevillo family, but an eldest son. His mother was just his dad's personal maid, who was later checked out to become the second lady. It was because of his eldest son that he was placed next to His Royal Highness Frederick the Third Prince to serve as a guard.
At that time, no one knew it was inconspicuous. The weak three princes would become the current king Frederick I. His Majesty's companionship has been with His Majesty for more than two decades, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty. Coupled with his talent and shrewd ability, he was soon appointed by his Majesty as the new Prime Minister of the Kingdom, entrusted with a heavy task. Because His Majesty had just ascended the throne at that time, no one wanted to go against his will. And Blanchett is from the Sevillo family, and from the identity point of view, they are considered their people, so the kingdom's established family forces defaulted on this result.
There is so much information about the Prime Minister, but there are rumors that the relationship between Prime Minister Blanchard and the current owner of the Sevillo family is very bad. It is said that there are many people in the Sevillo family who propose to make our Prime Minister the new owner of the Sevillo family, so that we can get more benefits for the Sevillo family. Just his brother, the current homeowner, Count Tourlake, refused to abdicate ...
If the proposal for the feudal system of the territory's aristocracy was personally proposed by the Prime Minister, then I think we should be sure that he is not an old noble family, but only loyal to our Majesty. If this plan is not the idea of the Prime Minister, then the person behind this proposal is a very smart person who also hates the old noble family. You're right, this plan is aimed at the old noble family power, and our overseas dominion was beaten by rabbits and weird by pond fish. "
With a click, General Bolognik's cigar fell to the ground. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Claude: "How did you come to this conclusion?"
"In fact, sometimes, the history we know is not the truth, but the appearance of disguise." Claude took a long cigar, spit out four or five smoke rings, and looked at the scenery outside the city wall. Faint answer:
"I remember in the history book of our country at the time, that Sterling IX would provoke a war to resurrect the kingdom because his sister, Princess Ilia, and his brother, Prince Ernest, would fight for the throne. The kingdom was a mess, and at the same time, the people of the kingdom were bored because of the domineering of the nobles of the kingdom ...
That is why Sterling IX first took the lead in raising the banner of righteousness, conquering territorial aristocrats who oppressed the good and no monarch, severely punished local officials who were corrupt and corrupt, proclaimed the belief in reform and saving the country, and finally won the victory. I think the history books you read when you went to the military academy are also recorded in this way. Our history lessons are the same.
But these two days I went to the archives where the documents and materials were stored in the King City, and I turned over the historical records of the Nasri Kingdom about our Kingdom of Ovilas. As a result, the real reason I saw above about the Battle of Kingdom Revival initiated by Sterling IX was that there were no more territories at that time for the kingdom to be given to the new hereditary aristocracy ...
I found the kingdom's fiefdoms at the time of Sterling VIII, and found that all the cities and towns in all parts of the kingdom except the capital of the kingdom and the Ibinist plains were conferred by hereditary nobles of all sizes. More than three hundred years of kingdom history has created countless nobles in the kingdom. When the kingdom stopped expanding, there was no extra land to grant new hereditary nobles and noble children who have contributed to the country.
Therefore, when Sterling VIII, the kingdom never granted new territories to the nobles. The consequence of this was that the prestige of the royal family was greatly weakened in the eyes of the nobles of the territories, and the king could not get out of the Ibinist plain. The literature says that Princess Elinia and Prince Ernest did not fight when they fought for the throne, only that there was a small-scale armed conflict between the kings.
Only Sterling IX directly captured my hometown, White Deer Town, a hereditary baron, and formed an army to attack the nobles of the territories. The result became more and more troublesome. When the aristocrats of the kingdom discovered that Sterling IX was going to dig their roots, they rushed to unite against the resurgent army of Sterling IX. The situation was gone and they became losers.
After Sterling IX came to power, the territorial concession of the kingdom's aristocracy was cancelled and changed to annuity. He may wish to leave a complete kingdom to his children and grandchildren. But he did not expect that the nobles who had lost their territories began to focus on the economy, and unknowingly formed the old noble family power, controlled the military industry of the kingdom, and vigorously cultivated the sphere of influence in the kingdom's army. As a result, the royal family had to breathe its breath ...
The tragedies of Prince Hansback and Sterling XI have proved the influence of the old noble family power on the kingdom, and their Majesty's superiors were even manipulated by their own hands. In other words, our current Majesty is actually a puppet, that is, a rubber stamp. Fortunately, these veteran aristocratic families also have contradictions within themselves. They still maintain the necessary respect for His Majesty, and dare not risk the world to force His Majesty to act in accordance with their wishes. "
Claude inhaled the last few cigarettes and threw his cigar **** on the ground and crushed it with his feet: "I suspect that the plan to grant hereditary aristocracy to hereditary feudal territory is actually His Majesty's counterattack against those old noble families. For a nobleman, the most important and valuable thing is the territory. A hereditary territory is the foundation of a family.
A territory that belongs to your own family can be passed on to future generations. You can kill and kill in the territory. You have the final say. You are the true king of the territory and the people. You do n’t need to listen to anyone ’s instructions. What you want to do What to do without any scruples. My territory is my master. As long as the territory develops well, I can provide a steady stream of wealth for myself and my family.
When there is no territory, those old noble family forces will unite, occupy the commercial interests of the kingdom, form a monopoly commercial alliance, develop their own local forces, and expand their influence in the kingdom army. To this day, it has become a giant that has made His Majesty feel headaches and frustration. The kingdom has been unable to restore its vitality and develop its economy without their consent.
Now the plan for granting feudal nobles to hereditary feudal territory is a plan to split the old noble family power. When they have their own hereditary family territory, each old noble family will at least put most of their energy into the family territory. Development above. It is well known that various conflicts and contradictions will arise between the nobles of the territory because of the territory, which will affect their alliance relationship with each other.
Of course, this plan also has another purpose, which is to scrape a lot of money from these old noble families. Did n’t that envoy of the Special Envoy mention it? If you are dissatisfied with the family territory that was granted to you, you can choose a better place for your family territory, but you must pay the land selection fee. The key lies in this land selection fee. It is his Majesty who pays it. This is his sacred duty as a monarch. No one can influence his decision.
Besides, would n’t those III nobles and honorable nobles not want to acquire a hereditary family territory for their children and grandchildren? It's very simple. Pay the money. I suspect that Her Majesty and Wang Ting can easily obtain a huge amount of wealth from the nobles of the Kingdom by virtue of this scheme. The fact that the kingdom has no money does not mean that these kingdom nobles have no money. Maybe the money needed for Prime Minister Blanchard's plan to revive the kingdom can be easily raised and completed.
The most important point is that the conferred territories are all in the Nasseri region, and for the kingdom, it has got rid of a heavy scum. All the civil disturbances that erupted in this area have nothing to do with the kingdom. It is the responsibility of the nobles who have been confiscated here. The nobles whose clan territory is conferred here need to set up their own family to suppress the place, which will force them to convene those who have developed in the kingdom army, disguising their influence in the kingdom army in disguise ... ..
It can be said that this time, the people and all of them are in the hands of His Majesty. This scheme of giving the feudal aristocracy a hereditary feudal territory is a conspiracy. As for our overseas autonomous command zone, it is also counted in it. You can think for yourself. If all five of us have been sealed off by our Majesty, what will the members of the overseas dominion think? Can we still control the future direction of the overseas dominion? "
General Bolognik's face was a little pale, and he thought for a long time before Ai Ai asked, "What if we all refuse to grant His Majesty's possession?"
Claude shook his head with a sneer: "It's impossible, would you like your family to do it? I believe that after a while your parents and relatives' congratulations and congratulations will be sent to you soon, they will In the letter, I will point out how to choose a good family territory. After all, the Farais continent is the center of this Farsiland world, and the development of overseas dominions is as good as it is. colony.
Also, even if we reject His Majesty's gift, what about the generals below us? This time the destruction of the kingdom of Nasiri and the Principality of Kanas and the resumption of the newly occupied territory, it can be said that the soldiers of our two legions have done their part. Her Majesty will definitely take this opportunity to lavish rewards. Do you believe it? We will soon have dozens of nobles in our overseas autonomous command zone. Of course, there will be few hereditary nobles, but there will be many third nobles and honorable nobles ...
Maybe I think it's ridiculous to think too much, because a large part of the property we scavenged from the Nasseri Kingdom will soon fall into the hands of His Majesty. What should we do when our generals ask to borrow money from us or ask us to pay Jin Jie fees for their loans from overseas Minsheng Banks to become hereditary nobles and obtain a conferred family territory from their Majesty? Rejecting their request? Then the hearts of the entire overseas autonomous command zone are scattered ... "
"So, what should we do?" General Bolognik was panicked when Claude said that.
"Cold!" Crowd said fiercely, and then sighed deeply: "To be honest, I have no clue now. I can't think of any good way, I can only wait and see how this thing will develop Go on, maybe we have to wait for the reward results to come out and discuss ... "
