Black Iron Crown

Chapter 573: Plain influence

Rainer's hesitant appearance fell in everyone's eyes. Seeing that Rainer hadn't made up his mind, the vassals couldn't help but hesitate in their hearts whether to open their mouths and let His Majesty give up this idea.

   "That's right, your majesty, we do need some elites from your subordinates to help in training. If you have the help of your soldiers, we will get twice the result with half the effort!" Earl Cod also stood up and said to Rainer.

  Although they are vassals, they are also close vassals. Through the decline and slackness of the army's combat effectiveness of these vassals, Leiner has a deep understanding of how unreliable these vassals are.

   It is true that the enfeoffment system has stronger mobilization power than the centralized system, but compared with that, there is too much uncertainty.

  Rainer cannot collect taxes on their territory, so they can change the law at will in their territory.

   It doesn't matter if it's just that, after all, the lords can provide themselves with an army.

   But now, these lords have been eroded in their army, and Rainer felt that it was necessary to add some supervision power to their army.

   not only can ensure that they have enough combat power to help them fight, but also can increase the influence of their northern prince in their army. This is one of Rainer's goals.

   It is necessary to exert influence in their army and let their army understand what the Great Duke of the North is and what the Great Duke of the North has done.

   Not to mention the control of their army, at least let them get close to themselves, and at the same time ensure strong combat effectiveness, Reiner feels that if this continues, it may be possible to achieve centralization within 200 years.

   For Rainer, two hundred years are not too long for him, because he understands the power these lords hold and the resistance to the implementation of a centralized system.

   It is the real meaning of civilization and family to plant a tree that he can't take advantage of for a moment. Reiner only understands this sentence now, and he regards this sentence as Gui Gao.

  Although I cannot accomplish the great cause of centralization, I should at least lay down the foundation first so that my children and grandchildren can have a good opportunity to develop.

   Maybe Reiner’s fifth or sixth grandson has truly achieved the great goal of national unification and centralization.

The topic that Count Varas raised was too horrible. Rainer hesitated to look at Count Antare, frowning and said: "Earl Antare, what you said about Count Cod and Count Varas What do you think?"

   Count Antal complained in his heart. He had already offended the rest of the vassals once about whether to enter the interstellar military exercise. This time, His Majesty even asked himself.

  Interfering with military power, can you answer this kind of thing casually? If you help His Majesty speak, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of most lords.

   Becoming a minority among these people is not what the Earl of Antare wants. Once this happens, everyone will target themselves, and even bring their own family into their own hands.

   Even though most of the lords of the Grand Duchy of the North are members of the Moland family, they have long been divided into small families. In fact, apart from blood kinship, they are almost the same as ordinary noble houses.

   However, if you stand up straight to oppose the Earl Cod's proposal, you may still be dissatisfied with His Majesty.

  Although this proposal was not made by Reiner, the Earl of Antare understood that this was actually what he meant, and many people besides him had seen this.

In a dilemma, Count Antare finally made the decision. He seemed to be discouraged and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I also agree with the proposal of Count Varas and Count Cod that your army will join us. It will be even more powerful!"

   The words of Earl Antare kept echoing in the meeting hall. The lords opened their eyes wide and looked at him with incredible gaze. No one thought that he would betray everyone, including his own interests.

Count Antar looked at the surprised and hateful eyes of these lords. He couldn't help but feel more bitter. He could only silently pray in his heart. Your Majesty will officially consider himself as a direct descendant this time. Otherwise, he really is not inside or outside. People, both sides are offended.

  Earl of Pushtown and Earl of Jolar looked at each other, the Earl of Pushtown nodded helplessly, and stood up with Earl of Jolar.

   "We also agree with this proposal. Please, your Majesty will select the best soldiers to enter our army as soon as possible to help us regain combat effectiveness. In addition, we will also expand our army in the shortest time. Please rest assured!"

   The rest of the lords, seeing these people say so, did not dare to express their opposition directly, they could only agree with them.

  Liner loves each other regardless of whether they are true or false, as long as he can reach into these lords, it is enough.

   After these lords had reached an agreement with Rainer with their ugly faces, they left one after another, not leaving the conference hall, but hurriedly leaving Micalon City and returning to their own territory.

It should be to think about how to deal with Leiner, but Leiner feels that they are not his opponents, not to mention his own requirements are not high ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ is not planning to control the command of their army, just need A supervision and influence is enough.

   Under the circumstances that the war is coming, he does not intend to cause internal contradictions. After he has taken the imperial capital to calm the four fields and put the supreme emperor on his head, he will have the opportunity to deal with these matters.

So soon, Reiner began to select some people from the army to dispatch to the armies of various lords. Reiner selected more than 250 Merland sergeants from among them, their combat effectiveness was the strongest. If you let them train, estimate It can increase the combat effectiveness of the vassals' army a lot.

   Rainer is happy to see their army become stronger. He doesn't worry about rebellion, but he is afraid that his strength is not enough.

   What's more, Rainer's own manpower, material and military strength are much stronger than these leaders, and most of the steel in the North is in his hands.

In addition, Rainer’s army is strong because of high-intensity training and training on the battlefield. These things cannot be copied if they want to be copied. If any vassal dares to rebel because of such a trivial matter, Rainer will immediately The army will be pulled out for a clean counterinsurgency.

   However, Rainer also warned these sergeants not to interfere too much in the internal affairs of the lords' army. They can only be responsible for training and promoting the reputation of the Grand Duke, and they must not interfere with other things.

Reiner didn’t want to start a counterinsurgency before he became the emperor. His purpose in doing so was not only to win over some military power, but also to ensure the combat effectiveness of the vassals’ armies so that they could fight in future wars. Play its due role.
