Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 1315: the time has come

In normal times, the old emperor might have made a show of three words and three retentions, and then let his old buddy retire. Even if he can suppress this old buddy, he still has to think about the successor emperor. I am so old, I am not surprised when I kick my legs. Some funeral affairs should be arranged early.

But what time is it now? The Lisa family died in an inexplicable explosion, and the two grand duke families are still intact and at the stage of imminent explosion. At this time, another grand duke will be retired, and the people under the two nobles will make a fuss. That's not a group of demons dancing around!

Recalling who caused such chaos, the old emperor glared viciously and said, "Is this the time to do such a thing!"

"This is the most appropriate time." Ricardo Carvey responded positively to his friend who has served him all his life.

"Convince me." Emperor Almin Kazarnia asked directly, not at all intimidating the old man who claimed to be good at fighting.

"Your Majesty, do you know why today's big countries in Lost Land divide up the lords of various places and create batch after batch of nobles?" The old duke directly asked an irresponsible question.

The old emperor wanted to say that he did this before, so he will do it in the future. But in fact, such an answer is not accurate in his mind.

As an emperor, he doesn't want too many lords who restrict his political affairs. Because in fact, there are many laws and regulations that cannot enter the territory of certain nobles. What I can get from this kind of person is taxation and military service. It seems that this is enough, but it is far from enough for an ambitious emperor.

But this time the emperor didn't respond. Discussing eloquence with a reckless man is simply blind to the sophistication honed by sitting on the throne of the emperor all these years. He just raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, and Duke Kawei continued to speak obediently.

"Actually, I didn't think much about this issue before. After discussing it with a child, I realized that such a system is actually inevitable. Simply put, it is a matter of efficiency."

Having said that, the old emperor was thoughtful. In fact, many things happened more or less during his ruling career. If he had to talk about successes or failures, he would have a lot to sell.

But how to sum it up behind this, he has not thought about such a thing now. Perhaps, it's time to think about it, and then tell your heirs.

But none of this prevented the old emperor from listening to what the person in front of him said.

The old duke continued: "In the past, when a conqueror conquered a large land, maybe from his core base to the conquered border, it would take a month or so just for the messenger to deliver the news. If a large army It is not impossible to march forward for more than half a year. Whether it is daily governance management, or a rebellion, foreign invasion at the border, etc., it may be too late to dispatch everything from the central government. So the best way , is to appoint a person to be responsible for managing and guarding the affairs of the place. This person must also have the right to do things cheaply, so as not to delay the victory. This is the so-called lord."

Very simple truth. The old emperor can sum up five or six more points and make a long and eloquent speech. But communication, counter-insurgency and resisting foreign aggression are indeed the main points that cannot be ignored.

But mentioning this, Emperor Almin seemed to have a very important thought flashing through his mind, but he couldn't grasp it. This made him itch.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

The old Duke poked his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "However, in this era, there are forums for delivering news, and vehicles for personnel and material transportation. It seems that we don't need so many lords, and we can effectively manage various places."

With a sudden leap forward, the old emperor, regardless of maintaining a calm and steady attitude, almost had a face-to-face with this old buddy who had followed him for most of his life. He was still clenching his teeth, his eyes were wide open, his head was flushed red, and his temples were full of veins. If it weren't for the old emperor's good health regimen, he might have an acute cerebral apoplexy right away.

There is no way. The old man in front of him knew his lifelong ambition. Now that he quietly brought up the possibility of realizing his ambition, he couldn't help being excited. After a long time, the emperor managed to hold back a sentence: "How to do it?"

The old duke took a few steps back with his son, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the criminal minister raised the blood flag and disturbed the peace of the empire. Now that the enemy is dead, I ask for your majesty's forgiveness. I would like to transfer the title to be inherited by the eldest son, and Here are ten manors and all kinds of cars and trucks equipped by the two legions. I only hope that His Majesty will allow the Kawei family to return to the imperial court and die for you."

Marquis Falshid also presented a list, and the imperial guards naturally handed over the list to the emperor.

On the list, there are ten manors to be donated. It occupies almost a quarter of the territory directly belonging to the Grand Duke of Kawi, and it is also the most important grain production area, so the old emperor can easily judge its value and area.

It can be said that once these ten manors are donated, it will become an impossible luxury for the Kavi family's territory to achieve food self-sufficiency. It must rely on commercial trade to import enough food from other people to maintain the needs of the people and the army in the territory.

This not only weakened the strength of the Kawei family itself, but also tantamount to handing over a major weakness to others in disguise. At least the next time the emperor comes to a commercial blockade, if the Kawei family itself does not have enough emergency food reserves, they may have to surrender early.

As for the cars and trucks equipped by the two legions, Emperor Almin was even more satisfied.

In this family war, the most frightening weapon of the Kawei family is to equip the vehicles of the three legions, which improves the mobility to an unprecedented level. The reason why they are preparing to officially start the war in the spring is because the equipment is ready, and there are enough cars and trucks to carry the three legions to the battlefield at any time.

But if the war cannot be fought, how will the three legions be arranged?

You should know that there is no standing army in the Grand Duke's territory, and it is not allowed to have one. Some are just local garrison troops, ranging from a few hundred to as few as a dozen. The total number of places is only nearly 10,000, which is about equal to the number of a legion.

With three legions in hand, this is already a standard wartime mobilization for Duke Kavi. For example, the Lisa family has organized more than a dozen legions, which is a mobilization number that belongs to the level of insanity, and has fully tapped the potential of the territory.

Since the war cannot be fought, it is of course impossible for Lord Kawei to continue to maintain the three legions that were temporarily mobilized. Those who can be demobilized will be demobilized, depending on whether they go home to farm or what; those who belonged to the local garrison will return to the local area, and then the militia that fills the vacancy in the garrison will be dismantled, and they will go back to their homes.

If this arrangement is made, what should we do with the extra cars and trucks of various sizes?

Grease and store?

The old prince had a good account of it.

Ordinary swords, armor, arrows and crossbows can be stored in the armament warehouse, and then taken out when needed to equip the army.

However, the replacement speed of automobiles and trucks is so fast that even if the cars are not made to be obsolete after they are built, if they are stored for a year or two, the technology of the vehicles will not know where it has developed. Besides, in terms of the current blankness of the market, storing the finished car in the warehouse is simply a heinous waste.

Then sell it as an ordinary car or truck?

Lord Kavi ordered to buy the cars and trucks used to equip the legion. Although he had to pay the car center, he still had the privilege to ask the center to design a special model for the legion. For example, the steel beams are thickened, or some pedals and long benches for soldiers to get on and off the vehicles are added to the personnel carrier.

It would be a pity if these special models of vehicles were sold as ordinary cars and trucks. Although it is very helpful to increase the transportation capacity in the overall economy, if it can maintain the original design purpose, it would be a better result.

The Kawei family itself does not have a standing army. Even the local garrison can only digest the vehicles of an army. Then the cars and trucks worth the weight of the remaining two legions might as well be dedicated to the emperor directly. There is not much to say about the friendship between the monarch and his ministers. If such weapons of war are left outside, the person sitting on that throne will not be at ease.

And doing so means that the emperor has two legions that can carry out quick strikes. It has an unimaginable role in internal rule, and it can even take a big step towards the centralization ambition in his mind.

These benefits, no matter how the monarch and his ministers get each other, are not for nothing. Emperor Almin fixed his eyes on the old man in front of him. After a long while, he said, "Whether it's letting your son become a prince, or letting the Kawi family who put down the blood flag return to the court, these gifts are too many. What else do you want?"

There was a similar situation in the past, most of the nobles donated some floating money to get things done. The cars and trucks of the two legions donated by Lord Kawei may also be considered floating wealth, but this is the most cutting-edge equipment.

As for the ten manors, let alone ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is a good land that can continue to produce food. The Grand Duke slashed himself, it was ruthless and painful. Even the emperor feels a little bit sorry for his old buddy.

However, the sacrifice is huge, and the demand is also great. The two trivial matters of attacking the noble and returning to the court are not worth the gift from the old man at all. Then what else does he want, it is worth the old emperor to face carefully. At their level, even if they want to go whoring for nothing, they have to be careful, and their food should not be too ugly.

The old prince raised his head with a stern look. Just say: "The Lisa family has no suitable heir!"

Having said that, the old emperor understood that he was planning to exterminate the Lisa family. And unfortunately, it was easy to do. The reason is that those who have the right to inherit the title of Grand Duke of Rissa seem to be... really dead.

The inheritance rights of nobility cannot be ranked by blood relationship. To be recognized and documented in Eucalyptus. Changes are allowed, but every change must have a good reason, and of course it will cause considerable political shock. It's kind of like 'entering a family tree' if it's in someone's old home. Being in the family tree and not being in the family tree are two different things in a clan.
