Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 297 Upstart Pravia

After conquering Hagensen's territory, Richard led his army back to the city of Tus. Although the city suffered a lot from the war, its status as the political center of the Pravia region has not changed, at least in all Pulau. In the eyes of the Lavians, this city is still their capital, even though the kingdom has been destroyed, even though King Necres once moved the capital to Suken City for a short time.

After returning to the city of Tus, Richard had the opportunity to manage the land of the country he conquered. As mentioned earlier, there are four counties in the Pravia area, of which Pintus and Sukenya The territories are all directly under the royal family, and the other Lavie and Hagensen territories are ruled by vassals. However, after Richard conquered this country, the original lords of the four counties were either captured or expelled, and they became Borderlands.

And the land of no man was directly included in Richard's direct jurisdiction, not only the four counties of the Kingdom of Pravia, but also the three counties of the Delj region, and therefore, Richard The upper limit of the direct-administered territory directly exploded, from the original 5/10 to 12/10 (the extra 4 upper limits are rewarded by the two kingdoms of the government)-if it is in the game, this will be subject to the direct-administered territory Upper limit penalty! (Reduce vassal favorability)

In reality, although he didn't know what the penalty would be for exceeding the upper limit of the demesne, Richard still decided to entrust the demesne in his hand for the sake of insurance. How to divide the enfeoffment is another problem. According to the usual practice, the entrustment of the new lord needs to be selected from among the nobles who have performed outstandingly in the war. In the war, all Richard knew was the Danish commander Too who commanded the battlefield of Delgis. Lagres and his lieutenant Hercule, and Charles' lieutenant Derek who ambushed the coalition forces.

Other than that, there are only soldiers who have performed outstandingly in battle. For these soldiers, Richard plans to entrust them in the newly conquered area and become a new batch of low-level nobles.

Richard considered for a long time, and finally made a decision. He planned to entrust Dukang and Ganyue, the former capitals of the Kingdom of Delj, to Toolagris, the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, and Kuli to his deputy commander, Hercules. Erkeri, as for Derek, Richard is going to give him the Hagensen Territory.

In addition, there is also a reward for Charles. Considering that he led the army to capture La Vier, Richard decided to award the collar to Charles; and Magnus has been serving as Richard's lieutenant general. Chad is going to make him the new lord of Pintus Territory - this is the former capital of the Kingdom of Pravia, and it is of great significance to become the lord of this place.

In this way, only the Sukanya Territory is left in the Pravia region, which is under the direct rule of Richard. It is impossible for this territory with rich silver mines to be sold. human.

...

On May 30, 1115 in the continental calendar, a small canonization ceremony was officially held in the imperial palace of Pintus City. Charles, the protagonist of the ceremony, and his deputy, Derek, were present together.

In addition, there were several chaplains accompanying the army and the commanders of the various brigades who witnessed the ceremony. They looked at the two nobles in their costumes and felt a little envious in their hearts.

Although it is not the first time to receive canonization, Charles is still unavoidably excited. He and his lieutenant Derek both put on exquisite robes. The robes were dyed with colorful pigments and sewn with gold threads. The robes were custom-made from the tailor shop in the city of Tus. Because of the high bonus, the craftsmen of the tailor shop worked day and night, and finally made two sets in a short time. The robe is made.

Under the gaze of everyone, Charles and Derek knelt devoutly in front of the cross (originally, they should kneel in front of the icon, but the current environment cannot find the icon, and it will take a while to transport it from Nord City, so Just replace it with the cross that accompanied the army), the priest accompanying the army took the place of the work that should have been performed by the bishop, and celebrated mass for the two nobles. Derek made a cross on his forehead.

Immediately afterwards, Richard stepped up to the front desk, and he pulled out the saber at his waist. According to his meritorious service, he first put the cold blade on the neck of Charles, who was half kneeling on the ground, and said solemnly: "Enoch In the name of the lord of the city, the ruler of all the Winsters, and the supreme king of the Winster Kingdom, I bestow on you Miggsburg in the Land of Lavie, together with its affiliated towns and villages..."

Then, it was Charles' routine oath of allegiance. After Charles, Richard put the blade on Derek's neck and repeated what he had just said to Charles. Derek, who had become an earl, was obviously very excited , His body trembled slightly, but he still suppressed the excitement in his heart, followed Charles, and swore an oath to Richard.

This is actually a bit embarrassing. After all, Derek used to be Charles' lieutenant general, and now he has become a nobleman of the same level as his former chief general. He doesn't know how he will face Charles in the future.

After becoming the lord of Hagenson, Derek changed his surname. He used the name of his territory as his surname, Derek Hagenson. Of course, this is all for later.

In addition to appointing two new earls, Richard also rewarded those unclaimed territories to soldiers in the army who performed well in battle, and some officers were named barons, filling a large number of vacant places for low-level nobles at once. , also considering that these soldiers could not cultivate a large area of ​​land by themselves, Richard selected foreigners from among the captives and assigned them to these soldiers as their serfs, who could only be trapped on this land for the rest of their lives. The master worked hard.

After a round of promotion, Richard carried out ideological remolding on the residents of the Pravia area. What is ideological remolding? It's very simple, it is to let a large number of priests enter the people of the Pravia area and preach to the residents here. As long as the Pravia people believe in Christianity, they will be influenced by the system and become loyal to Richard—this is The only effective way at present, and the most intuitive one, is that the loyalty of the local residents in the Cunha area has generally increased after being preached by the pastor.

In order to protect the priests who went deep into the people from danger, Richard asked the Teutonic Knights to send some knights to accompany him. This order was a pain for the deputy commander, Gerard von Basseheim, and he had to pass the Knights Council A meeting was held, and some knights from the Winster and Ravana regions and the priest sent by Cardinal Peter went to the Pravia region first.
