Chapter 1042 Get on board, Houlang!

PS: I'm late, it's getting harder and harder to write, sorry.

Ryan had no intention of punishing Duke Taubote severely from the beginning.

In fact, the truth has been said before, that is, it is legal for Duke Taubote to oppose himself.

As we all know, when Brittania was founded, it was an alliance of twelve loose principalities. At that time, Arthur, the first knight king, became the leader of the grand alliance in order to resist the invasion, and was crowned knight king after the twelve founding battles.

Why did Duke Talbot repeatedly emphasize the "Knights Covenant", which refers to this. The system of the Knights Kingdom determines that it is a loose alliance, with autonomy in peacetime and unified command in wartime. The control played by the duke is largely determined by the chivalry of the dukes and the personal prestige of the king.

This limits the monarchy to a great extent, so that the Knight Kingdom did not expand much territory when it was at its strongest, and fought with the Estalians and the Imperials several times before and after, most of them did not gain anything. The forest is even more never-returned.

Of course, the upper limit is set by dictatorship, and the lower limit is set by enfeoffment. There have also been two sudden deaths of knight kings in history. the enemy to save the kingdom.

This is the same as the electoral system of the empire.

On the way back to Korona, in the high-end hotel where they stayed at night, Ryan and Suria sat on each side, discussing the next direction of internal affairs.

"There is also a reason for ignoring Duke Taubote." Ryan put down his glass, and the king said calmly, "I want to set an example for other conservative dukes, since I didn't hold accountable Taubote who was the first to oppose me. , then Adehad, Ford, Kasvann and Hubald will understand what I mean, that is, my prestige is unmatched, and the end of opposition is like Taubote, but I let it go Taubot, which means that as long as you follow my line, everything will be forgotten, and there will be no worries in the future. Naturally, everyone will turn around and announce their support for my decision."

Suria picked up the black tea. The queen has been favored by Ryan day and night during this period of time. Not only is her skin radiant and moist, but her body is full of Ryan's spiritual power. The female knight changed back to her favorite white military uniform and dark blue today. Dressed in a white pleated skirt and black pantyhose, she elegantly tasted the Assam black tea imported from the Far East. The female knight frowned slightly after hearing what Ryan said: "I understand your Meaning, darling, but could they just be superficial..."

"No." Ryan was very sure about this, and the King of Knights said easily: "And it must be increased,

Don't forget, it was I who forgave their crimes. In this case, if a few conservative dukes secretly sabotage and prevent my reforms, I can really justifiably attack them. This time Even Francois and Berhemond couldn't say anything. "

"Well." Surya thought about it carefully, and Ryan was right.

No matter how leniently Ryan chooses to forgive Duke Taubote's mistakes, his mistakes and openly challenged the King of Knights have become his indelible "original sin". If it is in place, it must be increased, otherwise he will appear to have not truly "repented" of his mistakes, then Ryan really cannot be blamed for doing it.

I gave you a chance bro~

Dirty is really dirty, this routine, Suria turned around in her heart, the female knight admired Ryan's approach, and was a little worried, and finally she could only sigh helplessly: "Ma'am, luckily everything went well. "

"Well." Ryan also let out a long breath. This time he took a certain risk. What if he suddenly encountered an assassination and a fire in the process of persuading him to surrender?

However, only with risks can there be rewards. This time without shedding a drop of blood or killing a person, Ryan's prestige will break through another peak.

Now he is already a symbol.

"Then about the ten marshals..."

"Francois really hopes that Lucien will take over." Ryan said directly: "And Behemond prefers Davout."

"Is Davout's qualifications too shallow?" Suria took the list, and the queen shook her head: "You know Ryan, if you count the previous service experience, before Davout or Nicholas of Bastogne At that time, his service time was only a few years, if he can be named a marshal, then..."

"Marshals focus on abilities, and Davout is still the only Holy Grail old guard." Ryan shook his head, the King of Knights thought about it carefully, and still listed Davout.

"It's really strange. If you had to choose, why..." Surya glanced out the window secretly.

The meaning of the queen is very simple, why not Raymond?

"Raymond is not a pious lady believer, he has always believed in the God of Justice before." Ryan shook his head lightly: "In contrast, when Davout was still Nicholas, he was already a very pious lady Believers, moreover, the choice of Davout is based on his background. He was born in the Duchy of Bastogne, and not far from the Castle of Bastogne. Not to mention his excellent character and strength, it is the key Standing up at all times is chivalrous."

"En." Suria could only nod. The female knight thought for a while, and then asked Ryan for advice: "So, Davout and Lucien?"

What is Davout and Lucien? Ryan's heart moved, and the King of Knights thought that his wife was really powerful, so he secretly added Lucien in quietly. On the surface, he was asking for his opinion, but in fact he was secretly adding private goods. If he nods, won't Lucien's quota be confirmed?

But that’s fine, it was originally an internal discussion, and a little playfulness between husband and wife can be regarded as a little bit of fun, Ryan thought about it and shook his head: "Bastogne is the place of our Britannia Longxing, plus Shang Davout is the first Old Guard of the Holy Grail, and he is the only one for the time being. Letting him be a marshal has the nature of setting an example. Come back from the bad land, he should already be on the way, right?"

"It will arrive in another week." Suria took out a document and handed it to Ryan. The female knight was a little embarrassed: "Father also prefers Lucien."

"I'll talk to him when he arrives, and ask him about the current situation of Bafeng Mountain and his views on many things." Ryan took the document and glanced at it, and he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Sylvie and Ao Where's Lika?"

"They, Olika has gone to train Sylvia as a female courtier." Su Liya picked up the teacup again, with a half-smile: "I agree."

"Training?!" Ryan suddenly had a bad feeling: "Wait, Olika's so-called female courtier training is..."

"What? Isn't Sylvia your female courtier?" Suria retorted: "Don't think I don't know that you asked Olika to give your female courtiers the so-called training in the Duke's castle, since In this case, you might as well let Sylvia go to train her, she is indeed a bit bad-tempered, which is one of the reasons why you seldom dote on her."

"Well, if you think it's necessary." Ryan didn't object much, he didn't dislike the tempered Sylvia, but getting along with her was a bit stressful, she was too serious and not like Su Li Ya, Suria is usually serious and noble and reserved, but she is quite open with Ryan in private, the so-called "neixiu". Ryan really loves his wife very much in this regard.

In the next room, Silvia, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit with white suspender stockings and black leather shoes, was blindfolded, gagged, and bound at the head of the bed, while Olika was preparing new potions and Preparing new props, the dark elf was assembling a few thick leather belts in his hands, and by the way, two silver locks and some weird-looking things were installed on them: "Dear Sylvie, are you ready?"

"Woo (fear)!" Sylvia could only struggle hard: "Woooooo (Miss, Ryan, help me!)"

It's a pity that she has been sold by Surya and Ryan together, and no one can save her.

"Also, what are you going to do with the remaining noble knights?" Su Liya continued, "There will be hundreds of knight families deprived of their noble titles this time, right?"

"I will give them another chance, including the bastards of Baldwin's Clement family who hid in Marienburg, I will give them another chance." Ryan pointed out a finger, and he had malicious intentions With a smile: "A chance for an expedition of redemption."

"Get on board, Houlang!"

……… I am the dividing line of Houlang………

A week later, the imperial capital, Brunswick, and the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Karl Franz, who had just recovered from his stomach trouble, was correcting documents in his study again. He has been used to it for more than ten years. Although the emperor usually prefers to stay with his army, the recent news The good news made the emperor feel much better.

The first one is that after this chaos invasion, the empire’s economy showed signs of prosperity. A large number of infrastructure, castles, towns, and villages destroyed by chaos needed to be rebuilt. A large number of manors and farmland lost their owners. The emperor He issued a decree jointly with many electors, stating that as long as they are willing to immigrate, they will be given free farm tools for farming and tax-free for a whole year. This has triggered a large-scale immigration wave. After all, many civilians are willing of.

The second point is that the society has become active again, especially after a large number of military nobles died in battle, many territories and titles were vacant, and once again, the channel for class advancement was opened. For the conservative north of the empire and scarce resources, Generally, what class you are born in is destined to be what class you are for the rest of your life, and civilians rarely have the opportunity to flow, but in this Motkin invasion, the military nobles lost too much, so a large number of free civilian soldiers and many middle-level and grass-roots soldiers The second is that they really got the chance to be promoted. As long as they fought bravely, they basically got promoted, which made many people satisfied.

Knights were promoted to barons, great swordsmen were promoted to knights, and many soldiers of the regular army and provincial army who fought bravely were promoted to great swordsmen who could live in luxurious barracks and receive double salaries.

The third point is of course Gelt’s Solland. This has already been said before, so I won’t repeat it here. The emperor looked at the financial statement and was satisfied to see that the cash flow from Solland helped him fill the huge gap. Financial deficit, otherwise Card King could almost declare bankruptcy.

At this moment, Metternich, the emperor's diplomat, knocked on the door: "Your Majesty?"

"Please come in." Emperor Karl Franz put down the document, and he said with a smile, "Is it Metternich? I hope you bring me good news."

"Your Majesty, the civil strife in Brittania has been completely quelled. The king on the opposite side of the mountain has completely quelled the civil strife without shedding a drop of blood or hurting a single person." Metternich bowed to the emperor: "From now on, all the dukes have declared To support King Ryan's reform, the implementation of the governor system is imperative."

"There really is him, Ryan." Karl Franz shrugged, the emperor's mouth was full of envy, the governorship? He didn't even dare to dream that he could rely on Motkin to invade now. When the electors were weak, they would build up the Franz Guard Army in one go, and let the Rick Guards build Rick Castle and other key points in other provinces. Expanding his influence, the emperor was already very satisfied: "But I already know these things, Metternich, is there any new news?"

"Yes." Metternich took out a roll of parchment: "A new decree has been issued to abolish the privileges of nobility. All families that have no knights within three generations will be deprived of their titles of nobility. It’s true, not only these people, but also the knight family who committed serious crimes in the rebellion, he just and benevolently gave them a chance to make up for their mistakes.”

"What chance?" The emperor took the parchment.

"The opportunity for the redemption expedition, the knight nobles who have been deprived of their knight titles and who have committed mistakes can choose one of Kislev, the Arabian Desert, and the Badlands to conduct an expedition for at least three years." Metternich had a strange expression. : "This is His Majesty Ryan's speech in Courona, "Get on board, back waves!" Inspired these knights who are about to embark on an expedition of redemption."

"Let me see~" the emperor began to read.

"Those who keep saying that the Holy Grail is getting harder and harder to obtain should look at you, just like me."

"I look at you with envy."

"We in Britannia have accumulated hundreds of years of connections, wealth, resources, and channels, which are like gifts specially prepared for you."

"The basic salary is generous, the loot is abundant, and food and housing are included."

"The veils of desert civilization, ice and snow civilization, and mountain culture have been opened layer by layer, so you can go on expeditions as much as you like."

"Learn dwarf language freely, learn a piece of Arabic music, appreciate a Kislev girl, go on expeditions to distant places, and enjoy exotic customs."

"I can guarantee that many knights have embarked on your own path to the Holy Grail from the moment they arrived. You can freely explore your own way of life."

"I know that many of you have no actual combat experience, but it doesn't matter. When you arrive, everyone will quickly learn what to deal with and what not to deal with. How lucky you are, with only one ticket, You can meet thousands of brothers who go on expeditions together.”

"You have the power I dreamed of, and what you land on is yours, your new home!"

"You are lucky to meet these green skins, chaos, and undead, and these evils are even more fortunate to meet brave ones, you!"

"Salute to your courage! The weak will only blame others, and the strong will be brave enough to accept the challenge."

"One day, you will understand that not only I, Ryan Malcador, is teaching you how to approach the Holy Grail, but you are also inspiring me, how to make the knights better understand the spirit of chivalry."

"Those who complain that chivalry is getting harder to understand should look at you, as I did."

"You don't have to imagine how noble your ancestors' blood is, because no matter how noble your blood is, it's not enough for you to survive the expedition."

"If you still need my blessing, then..."

"Get on board! Back waves!"

"Together with 16,000 Breton brothers and sisters, the Redemption Crusade!"

The coffee from the emperor's mouth spurted out, and it sprayed all over the pile of documents.

"Ryan...you bastard...hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

"As expected of my confidant!" The emperor slapped his thigh vigorously: "I, too, have wanted to do this a long time ago!"

The sound of the emperor laughing heartily sounded in the palace.

"Good job! Well done!"
