Chapter 799: Chapter 799: The New Revolution
In the past, the real reason why the emperors of the kingdom divided up the feudal lords was to facilitate the rule. There were magisters in the mainland who did research.
An emperor's maximum ruling area is the furthest distance his army can reach in a week.
If you rely solely on the speed of the knight, the maximum distance is only the distance of a province.
Now the magic wave communication is enough to ignore the distance of the existing continents, 1 light speed = 299792.458 kilometers per second, that is the speed in seconds, not hours.
In the past, when the emperor was rebelled by the lord of a remote province, even if he used magic to send a message over a long distance, it would take at least a week. One week was enough for the rebellious lord to do a lot of things, not to mention the time it took for the army sent by the emperor to reach the rebellious lord. .
Taking Merlot City as the standard, it is located in the westernmost part of the empire and the farthest province from the east. It is more than 5,000 kilometers away. This is still a straight line. If you rely on the existing road network, it is not impossible to reach 10,000 kilometers.
After all, within the empire, there is only one mountain tunnel like Mt. Valley for the time being.
Most roads require detours avoiding mountains.
With the ability of the aviation magician troops to fly in a straight line regardless of obstacles, the fastest speed of the aviation magician troops is 900 kilometers per hour, and it does not take a week to go back and forth between the two places. In this case, distance is no longer a problem of dominance.
In the original feudal lordship system, in order to ensure the stability of the regime, the ruler in the domain often builds a bridge between the emperor and the lower-level people in those noble territories through the retinue composed of "people who rely on him and can be trusted".
For this purpose the emperor bestowed fiefdoms on nobles loyal to him from the land districts under his control; and the emperor's immediate vassals "often divided their own fiefdoms into small pieces for members of their retinue."
This division of land was initially a process in which the rulers attempted to incorporate a framework of personal relationships into the functioning structure of governance, with the ultimate goal of establishing a state as a union of individuals.
As the land area became larger and larger, the emperor began to entrust his cronies to newly opened areas in various places, allowing them to expand their territories and assist in the rule.
In fact, this kind of enfeoffment aristocracy only appeared in the vast area of the Kingdom of Cleveland or the superpowers of the three major powers.
For example, in the existing capital of magic, there are more than a hundred countries of various sizes in the southern part of the continent.
The East God religion ruled the underlying country with religious beliefs, and the rights of the emperor and nobles of the country were still maintained, but their military power was all controlled by the East God religion.
The Maxim Empire can be regarded as the first superpower with a centralized system, but its area is too large. Counting the East Asian subcontinent, the territory area is only slightly worse than the Magic Capital and the East God Sect.
Their centralization is to establish a state administrative unit after the provinces. Each state has at least five provinces and can reach eight at most. The governor is the largest, but the governor cannot control the military power, and there are six deputy governors. As long as four deputy governors disagree with the proposal, the governor has no right to exercise the proposal.
The army is independent in the state, and each state has established an independent military region, which only obeys the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and the local security department is in charge of the police force.
It is precisely because of this centralized system of restrictions that the Maxim Empire has the confidence to fight against the two superpowers, only because the Maxim Empire can mobilize the human and material resources of the entire country.
Compared with the other two superpowers, it is a bit more difficult, and there are even things where yin and yang contradict each other from time to time.
After developing the magic wave communication, while building the magic wave signal tower, the Magic Capital and Eastern God Sect began to mobilize troops to clean up those disobedient nobles and emperors, and began to carry out centralization reforms.
Therefore, these two forces began to slow down the offensive in the central plain, and turned from offense to defense.
The Maxim Empire also took the opportunity to take over half of the Central Plains.
Compared with the raging war between the three superpowers, Aslan used the magic wave signal tower of the Ottoman Kingdom to connect with the empire, and asked Gwennaville to bring Merlin's working group to Woland Island. The 200 oscillating buoy type wave energy devices prepared for production experiments were all taken and put into production.
Merlin is now the industrial equipment research magister of the Melox Empire, mainly engaged in the research, development and production of equipment.
Nigel has completely become a weapon developer.
The two began to develop in their respective areas of expertise, while Gwenaville combined the strengths of the two, coupled with the memories of previous lives, they are good at all aspects, the only shortcoming is that they are miscellaneous but not refined.
However, being appointed by Aslan to take charge of technology development and production in the local area is very capable.
More than half of the current military industry system of the Melox Empire is developed under the auspices of Gwenaville.
Mrs. Sharon had just contacted Aslan, and before she had time to be pleasantly surprised, she heard Xia Li's report.
"Ma'am, they have entered the territory of the Ottoman Kingdom."
When Mrs. Sharon heard this, she immediately beamed with joy.
"Come on, let's pick them up."
After hesitating for a while, Xia Li said, "What about the material tasks His Majesty entrusted to us?"
"Don't worry, just leave it to Angel." Mrs. Sharon waved her hand and said.
Xia Li nodded, and at the same time she was very jealous of Angel.
Both Angel and Xiali were dragon slayers at the same time, but Angel's talent was far inferior to hers, and now she was only a half-step mentor-level powerhouse, and she had always been the little transparent of Mrs. Sharon's bodyguard team.
After Madam Sharon accidentally discovered her business talent and sensitivity to numbers, Madam Sharon entrusted her to take care of the company she started in the Ottoman Kingdom.
In just two years, the company has been on the right track. Recently, it is constructing and installing the meat processing equipment airlifted from the city of Merlot from the ultra-large meat processing plant. It is said that the slaughterhouse will be opened next month.
Now Angel has faintly become the third person in Mrs. Sharon's small team.
The second person is naturally Tiev, the tribal patriarch. Now Tiev has become the strongest tribe under Otto, and even surpassed Otto at one point. He is the first tribe in the Ottoman Kingdom to be equipped with hot weapons.
Under the escort of an elite thousand-man cavalry, Mrs. Sharon went directly to the meeting point at the border.
Linda and Elena recruited the reclusive or wandering former members of the tribunal along the way. Originally, the team consisted of only six people. By the time they crossed the border of the Merox Empire and entered the Ottoman Kingdom, there were already more than twenty people. There are eight strong people, and the rest are intelligence veterans, with varying strengths.
A group of people were hiding in the grove where the reconciliation was taking place. They had been on their way one after another during this time, and everyone looked tired.
