Black Iron Crown

Chapter 514: On meritorious deeds

The news of the imperial capital is almost like a broken house with air leaks everywhere. Anyone can inquire about the choices and actions made by the decision-makers as long as they are willing.

These upstarts don’t even have a sense of secrecy at all, and they swear at everyone in the Kingdom of Bookeden in front of their servants. Moreover, the lords of the Kingdom of Bookeden are also constantly showing off how they persecute the empire. Treaty signed.

The Empire reached many agreements with them in exchange for the support of the Kingdom of Buckden.

This includes three years of tariffs on the southern border of the empire, and a 50% reduction in the tax rate of all merchants in the Kingdom of Bukerdern after three years. In addition, there is also a gift to the Kingdom of Bukerdern of 50,000 square kilometers. As a gift of thanks.

In addition, all the spoils obtained during the battle against the Kingdom of Bazaran shall belong to the people of the Kingdom of Buckden.

It seems that these conditions are not harsh, they just give away some land and give some preferential treatment to the other's merchants, without even paying any direct currency.

Therefore, this news did not arouse too much opposition and dissatisfaction when it spread out, it just made people feel uncomfortable.

But when the second piece of news came out, it immediately detonated the anger of squires and homesteaders everywhere.

"The **** King Satry dared to sit on His Majesty's supreme throne! This is a humiliation! It is a humiliation to the great Redka Empire!"

"Shame! Your majesty, your empire, your empire has become like this..."

Many squires, little nobles, and self-cultivating farmers were extremely sad and angry. Most of them were soldiers and low-level officers who had followed Kafit the Great in the Southern and Northern Wars and were placed in the prosperous area of ​​the empire after the establishment of the country.

They are very affectionate for the country established by Emperor Caffet, which is no different from the country that they created by themselves. How can they not that the huge country that they have been so humiliated to help the emperor is so humiliated by their own desperate work and blood. angry.

The squires who have little wealth, can afford a few guards and bought weapons and armors for themselves and their sons gathered to discuss how to deal with this matter.

This is a force that cannot be underestimated. These squires, little nobles, and self-employed farmers who are loyal to the empire can at least be able to form an army of 8,000.

This is still the number of many self-employed farmers who have been enlisted in the army by the imperial capital.

Before Rainer besieged the imperial capital, Count Redmara and others were also a sign of this group, but these people were not satisfied with the perverse actions of the queen drink Redmara, not to mention the fact that Rainer and others were all royals, fighting against them. It is still the banner of the Qing emperor's side to punish the country's thieves.

They were all eager to kill the Queen and Count Redmara, how could they respond to the call to help this group of people fight.

Suddenly, the public sentiment was fierce. Many old squires put on the extremely playful armors that were kept in their youth, picked up the halberds used in combat, wore long swords on their waists, and held the old emperor's or their own family's tattoos. Zhang, came to the periphery of the imperial capital.

When these people gathered together spontaneously, almost all of them burst into tears. They were looking for comrades who had met or had a relationship, and once remembered the Zheng who followed the old emperor in the Southern and Northern Wars. Rong years, that is a glorious experience worthy of them to brag about for a lifetime.

Such behavior instantly affected the imperial capital that had just begun to regain prosperity. After seeing this battle, many merchants thought that another siege war was about to break out, and they left with their caravans in a hurry.

After learning the news, the queen immediately got up from the bed and shouted to Count Redmara to solve it immediately.

Then he hurriedly put on his clothes and went to find his father, King Satri.

Entering the room of King Satli, the queen found that there were several of his vassals here, and they were obviously discussing something.

"Ah, my daughter is here!" King Sartli got up from his chair and took the queen to sit down.

Just as the two wanted to say something, an untimely voice appeared in their ears.

"Your Majesty, I want to know who the armed men outside the city are? Why do they appear here?"

This is a vassal of the Kingdom of Bookeden.

King Sattley scolded dissatisfiedly: "Bron, didn't you see that I was going to talk to my daughter? Don't be too presumptuous!"

Although it was a scolding, there was no annoyed expression on King Thatley's face.

Count Brunn immediately apologized and retired.

Later, King Sartli also asked: "In fact, this is what I want to ask, what are the people outside the city doing?"

"Such a disrespectful siege of the imperial capital, do you need me to help you eliminate them?"

"No, no need for my father, they are just a group of squires who came here to protect our safety, I will let them leave here soon!"

Although the queen does not understand military affairs, she still knows the most basic theory.

The group of squires outside the city is simply a group of dragons without a leader, and their personal strength may be very good. After all, they were born under the command of Emperor Caffet to lay down a huge empire.

But without a unified command, their combat effectiveness will not be stronger than a group of mobs.

The help that King Satli said, the queen didn't need to think about it, it was nothing more than destroying them and driving them away.

If she agreed to do this, then she would really lose everyone's support. All the squires and self-cultivators would be hostile to her, and she didn't want to be reduced to this point.

The news of the imperial capital is still spreading out, and Rainer, who has returned to the north, is not yet clear for the time being.

He is now discussing his merits and rewards in the main fort hall of Mekalong City.

All his vassals and officers above the captain gathered here, waiting for the upcoming reward.

Reina, a population of 50,000, is not going to be handed over by a single person, and directly holding it in his own hands can play a greater role than holding it in the reservoir of his vassals.

First of all, Leiner’s own vassals~lightnovelpub.net~ Although they did not make much contribution one by one, but after all they followed him to the imperial capital, so Leiner allocated half of the land to Up them.

In addition, Rainer also knighted all the direct line officers who had been more brilliant in the battle.

There were four barons and seventeen knights, but these people did not go to their fiefs, but would continue to stay in Reiner’s army to command the army, and their relatives or their wives and sons would manage the territory temporarily, and wait until After they retire, they will go to the territories for retirement.

"Klim, the captain of the Fourth Wing, fought bravely during the siege of the imperial capital, and led soldiers to garrison the city. I will make you the Baron of Willenburg, the legal rule of Willenburg and the 21 subordinate villages. By!"

"From today you can call yourself a baron. I will provide shelter for you and your family. At the same time, you must always remain loyal to me and my family, and you must assume the obligations of military service and annuity!"

With that said, Rainer slapped Kerim's shoulder with a long sword three times: "From today on where you can collect taxes, you are the legal ruler!"
