Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

The atmosphere of Hadley University perfectly reflects the ecology of the Northern Principality.

The autocratic monarchy, the open academic atmosphere, and the strangely developed technology.

Since the establishment of the university, it has attracted a large number of noble children to enroll.

In this era, except for a small number of civilians who can make it all the way to university, most of the students are from businessmen and noble families.

Especially those who come from afar to study, they must have a strong family background.

Then the various colleges are filled with noble children from various countries.

Even in the seminary, there are people who sneak in through the back door.

The strong military strength and glorious record of the Northern Principality are inevitably studied.

In addition to the legendary experience of the Duke of the North, the political system, technology, and military are all objects of study.

Others don’t know that the Duke of the North is cheating, but only think that the reason for his strength is hidden in some details.

Learning from the strong is the instinct of life.

Of course, their ideas are not wrong. Hadley University is definitely the best school of this era.

If you can finish your studies, you can also do something when you go back.

Derek quietly left the chemistry class and saw a group of students who were arguing fiercely on an open lawn on campus.

A group of students surrounded them, and their passionate voices could be heard from a distance.

Derek approached curiously.

"... The army, the firearms army is the future, the Duke will not be wrong..."

"The knights are the foundation, don't forget that the Northern Principality was conquered by the Northern Knights."

Good guy, they are discussing a new army.

However, Hadley University is full of hidden talents, and this level of rebuttal is pale and powerless.

I don't know which student came out of the crowd and said: "My family is a heritage of Northern Knights, and now I am also learning to use guns and cannons."

"Hahaha!!!"

A group of people laughed, full of joy.

The rebuttal student was angry and shouted: "You don't understand at all, chivalry is the most important thing in your principality."

"What do you, a foreigner, know about chivalry?"

"Of course I understand, you wait... After I return to my country, I must arm an army with chivalry and let you see who is right and who is wrong."

Derek didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Sure enough, young people have all kinds of naive ideas.

However... he can be funded. Anyway, he just needs to go back to his country to stir up trouble.

It is best to bring back the culture of the Northern Principality. When his army arrives, maybe someone will open the door and surrender.

After standing outside and listening for a long time, no one noticed that the Duke of the North was on the scene.

Various ideas collided and the debate was very intense.

There are even a group of guides who think that the Northern Principality is the brightest future, so let the Duke of the North be the king of their own country.

Obviously, education and culture have a slight impact, which is more powerful than guns and cannons.

After looking around, Derek was very satisfied with the current Hadley University.

Exporting ideas and culture, and having pre-research, this is the engine of a country.

Finally, he returned to the Duke's residence in Plan City and began to review documents from all over the world.

The latest news from the New World is that Lawrence has controlled the area around the Gem Harbor and is rebuilding.

However, reconstruction costs money, and various artillery and ships are reported as if they are free.

In response, Derek directly wrote him a letter.

The general content is very simple. In addition to the normal budget, all plans in the New World will be funded by self-raised funds, and the principality finances will subsidize another part. If you want to build a port... yes, bring the money.

The simple investment in the New World has entered a new stage.

In the final analysis, the New World is the future, not the present.

Now is the time to give back to the mainland.

As for resources such as gold and silver, that is a normal return on investment.

Taxes on colonies can also intercept part of the local area.

Then it is the construction of the second division.

Virut handed in a construction report, preparing to form the second division with a backbone regiment of the first division and a regiment of guards infantry.

Derek approved it immediately.

Then there are applications for money from all over the country.

If it weren't for the harvesting of markets in several surrounding countries, the large-scale infrastructure construction every year would have caused the principality's finances to collapse.

...

As the centurion of the Barbarian Heavy Infantry Regiment, Dagu dragged off his armor and left the barracks this time.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't retire.

The establishment of the new infantry of the principality requires a large number of officers.

New officers are of course important, but most of them are grassroots officers on the front line.

Military reform does not mean that the old-style officers are completely abandoned.

Officers like Dagu have been tested in combat experience, will and loyalty.

Derek knows the foundation of his rule.

Although the barbarians are discriminated against in the principality, their loyalty is the highest.

On the one hand, most barbarians are influenced by their education and have a more straightforward character.

On the other hand, the barbarians' current status comes from the Duke. As long as they don't want to become second-class citizens, they will unswervingly support the Duke of the North.

So Dagu became a thousand-man captain and was selected as the commander of the new infantry.

After a short three-month emergency assault, he was directly transferred to the commander of the first brigade of the second division.

It was considered a promotion, and the new infantry had stronger combat effectiveness.

But for the time being, there were only two battalions of soldiers given to him, as well as a group of grassroots officers.

Dagu's understanding of the new infantry tactics was very superficial.

But it doesn't matter, the military training class will be a long-term training.

After a simple run-in, the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Division received an order to go to Melgen Province.

Dagu received the transfer order, received a batch of supplies, and immediately set off.

This time the destination is Walter, the capital city of Melgen Province.

This is a new city that came from the provincial independence war.

Because it is located on a strategic road, a town was first built here, and it was determined to be the capital city after the establishment of the principality.

Therefore, Walter's economic considerations are greater than military considerations.

Naturally, this new city with a population of 20,000 to 30,000 has no foundation at all.

However, the business is developed, and many barbarian business leaders like to settle here and regard it as a symbol of the rise of the barbarian status.

As a long-discriminated race, they urgently need some symbols to boost people's morale.

Naturally, the only recruit training camp in Melgen Province is also here.

The principality adopts the recruitment system, and all military commanders have no power to directly recruit soldiers. This is a system determined from the beginning.

Although this system costs more, it maintains the absolute power of the monarch.

So the nobles of the Northern Principality are really just nobles.

If the nobles' private armies were not retained, their voice in the military would have shrunk to the extreme.
