Warhammer Throne

Chapter 1024, Dulong City and the enfeoffment system (new January monthly pass!)

The Dark Rolling River, as the name suggests, was excavated by the Dulong City dwarves to connect the northern Gulf of Norsca with the underground river secret roads of the Norskanan Bay. The Dulong City dwarves can communicate with the outside world through the secret river, trade and even dispatch. The army, this river channel located deep in the mountains of the Norskars became the lifeline for the Norskar dwarves to contact the outside world.

However, this lifeline cannot be used all day, because it is easy for the Norskans or Skavens to know, so the way for the dwarves of Dulong City is to choose a safe time period and reduce the frequency of use to keep it hidden.

The dark rolling river is extremely dark, and there are only a few Norsca dwarf rune stones and the torches on the passenger ship to illuminate and provide the way forward. The complex and changeable river channels even carry different dwarf rune marks, which need to be identified. Once you go wrong, you will either end up in a dead end or fall into a trap, or even a pit that you don't know where to lead.

The result was that Ryan got up early, but found that it was dark outside, with stones on both sides, the zenith with stones, and the distance with stones. The knight king looked bored and stayed on the deck for a while and found that he had nothing to do.

Little Thorgreen and his good friend Jed are still staying on the deck. What these two mustaches like most is this cave environment. Needless to say, the dwarves have a special preference for this environment. Saying that they are born to love mineral veins and caves, little Thorgrin whispered about how he would do and how he would build this place if he were the great king of Dulong City. There is no eternity inside and outside. The Supreme King of Zhifeng is serious, the moustache is just like his father Belega, already a little swollen, anyway, without the help of the Supreme King, wouldn't we also retake Bafeng Mountain?

"Oh, it's your Majesty Ryan." The beard was very happy to see Ryan appear. He dwarfed Ryan, and then said to Ryan, "Have you had breakfast? Would you like some?"

The two mustaches were eating breakfast on the deck. The dwarf’s breakfast consisted of beer, sausage, goat cheese, and dwarf lye bread.

Ryan thought that you would prepare this hard dish early in the morning? The Knight King shook his head quickly: "I have already prepared it there. I am not used to eating such hard food in the morning."

"Aha, it seems that Your Majesty Ryan has better food." Jed-Honesty smiled. This mustache respects Ryan. He is grooming his beard. Although Jed's beard is only to his chest, the dwarf I have always regarded my beard as a symbol of status and qualifications. The beard needs to be groomed and washed frequently to be beautiful and smooth. The two mustaches are naturally back waves. They wash their beards every day on the passenger ship.

"Huh? Your Majesty Ryan, why did you shave your beard clean again?" Jed immediately found out that Ryan had shaved his beard clean again, leaving no stubble, so he complained: "Your Majesty, you have everything. Okay, but why is there no good habit of growing a beard? I know that humans and dwarves have different habits, but don't you humans all grow beards when they are old?"

"Uh..." Ryan touched his bare chin, thinking I can't tell you that the fairy in the lake is painful and ticklish?

Speaking of myself as a goddess, it’s really a bit too much. Now if you want to make friends with her, you have to wait and feel comfortable with her, but she is really too aware of Ryan’s weakness, and the two sides have already determined the relationship. Ryan is still under the goddess’s dressing Followed shamefully.

After thinking about it, Ryan could only smile and said, "This is easy to handle, just like many people in the Empire like to shave their heads."

"Your Majesty Ryan, we will arrive in Dulong City in two days. I had an exchange with Maharaja Tolgard while supporting Olengrad. The Dulong City dwarves were separated from the Kingdom of Mountains by as much as 7,000. Years later, there has been a big difference in culture and customs. When you get there, no matter what requirements Maharaja Tolgard makes, as long as it is not too excessive or strange, please do as he says." Holding a piece of lye bread in his hand, young Thorglin added: "It should not be difficult to embarrass us. The defense of Olengrad and the Bagration Operation Dulong City have participated in full, and I will also take you I’ve told the Maharaja’s deeds."

"It seems that the Supreme King's law aimed at Dulong City does not work?" Ryan understood the meaning of the young Thor Green.

"It's been too long." Little Thorglin shook his head: "We have to be thankful that the Norsca dwarves are not like our group of chaos-like cousins. It can be said that it is fortunate."

Ryan nodded silently.

The enfeoffment expansion system recommended by many people has similar problems. It is true that the enfeoffment system is the fastest way to control some remote and backward areas and newly regained areas, but the enfeoffment system is most likely to cause two problems. The first is the localization of vassals. The second is that the tail can't fall off.

I have already talked about the issue of annexing territories, so I won’t repeat it here.

Ryan has always opposed the view of some people that a large number of immigrants and confederations can promote their own culture, spread their own ethnic blood, expand their own legal principles, and do not care whether they can really control it, as long as they admit that they are of a certain race, You just need to use your own culture and system. Everyone feels that way, and that the meat will eventually rot in the pot.

This is actually a very wishful thinking. Take the dwarves as an example. The two largest branches of the Dwarf Crowd during the Geographical Discovery of the Mountain Kingdom are the Dulong City Dwarves and the Chaos Dwarves in the Dark Realm. The former maintains a unique In the weird state of non-submission, the latter simply succumbed to the chaos, abandoned the faith of the ancestor god, and became a subject of Hasselt, the father of darkness, the secondary **** of chaos.

The dwarves who fancy tradition and the glory of their ancestors are like this, let alone humans.

These are the two most prone problems of enfeoffment. The first one is that the tail cannot be dropped. Take Dulong City as an example. The dwarves here have formed their own culture and social organization after they came to Norsca. Do not want to return to the Kingdom of Gunsan, so the two sides can only maintain the status quo after the Supreme King and the Maharaja negotiate.

Who wants to have multiple masters in his head?

The second problem is even worse. It is like the chaotic dwarves. After they are far away from the border and disconnected from the central government, the dwarf expeditionary forces quickly localized, abandoned the original culture, and gradually turned to worship. Chaos, and the kingdom of mountains became complete enemies, and claimed to be orthodox.

Then someone will definitely say that this is only after the disconnection, assuming there is no disconnection? Suppose it is only sealed outside the national border? Suppose it is the bloodline of the Supreme King to guarantee legal rationality?

Take Ryan’s previous celestial dynasty as an example. It has only been sealed outside the border, most of which are ruled by ji, but there have been real seals, but once this head is opened, there is a precedent for real sealing, then the sealing will begin to gradually It is sealed within its own core area, for example, the Jiedushi system is gradually taking shape.

As for the royal bloodline, it’s easier. Lao Zhu, who has made it clear, has already explained everything with the Saiwang system. When the central government changes, all these royal bloodlines have the right to inherit. You guessed it after they got the news. Are you willing to continue to live in the desolate and backward fiefdom, or to bring the army back to the central government to fight for your position or even the throne?

The Eight Kings War warns, Feng Tianjing can hardly warn.

As mentioned above, over time, the central government will definitely have problems.

Moreover, even if the fiefdoms are linked together, the regimes that are divided are easy to gradually "localize". The four great khanates of the Mongol Empire were completely greened within a hundred years except for the Yuan Dynasty.

why? There are only two ways to enfeoff the population to be small, and to use less to impose more. The first is to kill all the locals. For example, the American imperialism did this to the Indians. The second is to simply localize itself, just like The Four Khanates soon gradually localized.

Of course, there is also a third type of continuous blood transfusion by the central government, giving people and resources.

Regardless of the fact that such a long-term and large-scale blood transfusion is the way to subdue the country, the large-scale blood transfusion alone is sealed to others instead of sending bureaucrats to manage. What does the central government do?

So it is very difficult. Sealing at close range is a death, and long-range sealing is not beneficial to expansion. If you do not intend to do like the American imperial approach to the Indians, there must be a large and sufficient population, otherwise it will be either To drive away (such as the Yuan Dynasty) is to be gradually localized like a chaotic dwarf (such as the Four Khanates).

However, Ryan doesn’t think that zoning is of no value at all. For example, if zoning of immediate family members is far away and can’t come back, there is no local people, so he can be self-reliant and retain some seeds of hope. There is still room for manipulation. Yes, such as the Eastern Song Dynasty in Australia, the Ming Dynasty in North America, and the Third Rome. Similar to this is possible and there is room for manipulation.

Just like the five hundred worlds of brother Killiman established the second empire at the critical moment of the Horus rebellion, and resolutely provoked the burden of rejuvenating the human empire, claiming to be the orthodox empire! At least some hope of revival is retained.

In fact, according to the little Thorgrin, Dulong City even retains more traditional rune techniques and ancient forging techniques than the Dwarf Mountain Kingdom, but because it has not experienced the cataclysm era and faced the devastating green skin Attack, Dulong City dwarves are very backward in civil engineering and firearm technology.

Ryan thought about it a lot, until the fairy in the lake appeared on the deck. The goddess was wearing a bright and colorful cascading silk dress with mint crystal blue today, with long bright blond hair curled up in the back of his head, a high elf lady hairstyle and then like a waterfall Hanging down like an ankle, a pair of beautiful feet wrapped in white ultra-thin lace back-stitched thin line pantyhose is wearing a pair of pumps with golden iris embossed high heels, revealing the beautiful toes wrapped in stockings. Wearing the green nail polish, she was bathed in the platinum light rain. Seeing Ryan in a daze on the deck, the fairy in the lake called him: "Ryan, what are you doing on the deck? Come here. "

"Breakfast is ready?" Ryan noticed that no one on the deck noticed the appearance of the goddess except for himself, it should be her illusion.

"Yeah, Morgiana is done." The fairy in the lake motioned to Ryan to come over.

When Ryan returned to the cabin, he shrugged at the goddess and smiled: "Look, Lilith, it's black everywhere, I almost thought it was not breakfast, it was dinner!"

"Dinner? Dinner is good. After dinner is over, we can just exercise a little bit to save our Knight King lack of exercise!" The fairy in the lake skillfully took Ryan's arm and pressed her full softness directly on Ryan's arm. on.

"Uh..." Ryan's face suddenly turned green. During this time, he was dealing with Lilith and Morgiana at the same time. These two women are both big psionic users. Morgiana was carefully selected as a fairy in the lake. The divine power generator and storage device can absorb Ryan's psychic energy almost unlimitedly, and since Morjana can absorb a large amount of psychic power from Ryan recently, she has simply begun to try to hit the peak of the sanctuary.

This was originally impossible, because since accepting the inheritance of the Lake God Witch and the power of the Lake Fairy, the strength of the high-level Morjana Sanctuary has basically been nailed to death, and it is impossible to break through.

But this is Ryan, a man who can turn the impossible into possible.

It's just that the process is a bit tiring... Ryan thought to himself.

Walking into the cabin, Mogiana was obviously in a good mood. The Lake God Witch was wearing a white muslin shirt and pink hip skirt today, under the skirt is long flesh-colored pantyhose stockings, stepped on a pair of cotton Dragging, with an apron on her chest, she put the last fried egg in the plate, then lifted the plate with one hand, and pressed the skirt of the hip skirt with one hand embarrassingly: "Ryan, you are back Ah, breakfast is ready."

Ryan couldn't help but cocked his mouth. He took the plate from Morgiana, helped her untie her apron, and took her to sit down. The fairy in the lake still only eats some fruit as usual.

While eating breakfast, the two talked about other things. The fairy in the lake looked at Mogiana leaning on Ryan to eat, and said uncomfortably: "Oh, by the way, about what you arranged before, that Jia Congresswoman Lan? It's Catherine, isn't it?"

"Well, yes." Ryan thought for a moment: "But did that matter pass?"

"The controversy is not small." The fairy nodded in the lake: "In the end, the knight nobles saw such a great feat in Karad, plus Sulia's approval and she has given birth to a child. Finally recognized her new identity."

The fairy in the lake was talking about Catherine, Veronica's personal disciple. After Catherine got pregnant by luck and successfully gave birth to a boy, Karad asked Lane to make Catherine his countess.

This was a very troublesome thing. It was not without precedent that a witch became a noble lady, but it was really the first time in Brittany, but luckily it was done in the end.

"Very well, but she won't be a countess soon." Ryan smiled and put down the fork: "She will be a marquise soon, and I have planned to wait until after returning home to canonize Calade as Brittany. Marshal, also named Marquis Garmente."

Ryan had already planned to go back and continue the pace of centralization.

"The second thing is that Emperor Karl-Franz took this opportunity to send some Rick guards to reorganize the army in the northern provinces of the empire, and at the same time establish Rick fortresses in some key towns," said the lake fairy. The second news came out: "At the same time, the emperor announced the Rick standing army system, preparing to bring back to the imperial court a small number of local and provincial elites whose electoral control was ineffective and excessively lost. He has direct control."

"Normal, now the imperial turmoil ~www.ltnovel.com~ the emperor's army has not suffered much. This is the best time to further strengthen centralization and establish a new army." Ryan nodded slightly: "Looks like Karl Learned a lot from me."

Regardless of the financial difficulties of the Kaiser, Rickling now has a population of 6 million, and the entire country of Brittany is only more than 8 million. With such a large population base and tax sources, Kaiser wants to ease his breath. Coming quickly.

The two things were finished, and the breakfast was over. Ryan was about to say something while holding Mogiana in his arms. As a result, the knight king immediately noticed that the fairy in the lake had gone to close the door of the cabin, and he quickly remembered: "No! Lilith! Not now!"

"You can't say no, my champion! I believe you, it will do it!" The fairy in the lake held Ryan, and the goddess said with a smile: "Mojianna, come, together!"

"Okay." Morjana nodded shyly, she suddenly reached out and put her arms around Ryan's neck, blocking his mouth, and preventing him from getting up.

"Well……"
