In a blink of an eye, it has entered late autumn, the crops in the arable land have been harvested, and the cold air has arrived as scheduled, making the temperature of the Valdasia Peninsula begin to drop.

Facing the lower temperature, people began to put on warm robes, as did the humans in the Palace of Ippolito. Dressed in a robe of warm animal skins, Richard crawled on the table and wrote quickly. The quill in his hand quickly wrote a string of German letters on the paper, using all the ideas in his mind. Express it in words.

This is Richard's new idea. After a series of decrees were issued, he finally reached out to the army again. As mentioned above, after years of war, most of the land in the kingdom is unowned wasteland. Therefore, he is preparing to transform the Martian soldiers in the generals into the medieval army in history, so that the knight masters can truly become knights with vibes. Lord, let those heavily armed sergeants, archers and crossbowmen become glorious homesteaders, relying on their own hands to pay taxes to their great king.

Of course, because the condition for heavy soldiers, archers, and crossbowmen to become homesteaders is to marry the locals, the first to bear the brunt of this military reform is the more than 2,000 heavy knights in the legion. Among these heavy knights, the chain The first knights were directly eliminated and included in the ranks of homesteaders. Teutonic knights also had other arrangements. Therefore, only the imperial knights of nearly 900 people can become noble knights-oh, I almost forgot that there are more than 1,600. Human walking imperial knight. Richard is actually somewhat contradictory to the dismounted imperial knights. He doesn't know how to shape these dismounted knights, saying that they are ordinary infantry, and they are elite knights who can transform into heavy cavalry at any time, and he says that they are cavalry. Well, they are not equipped with war horses, so they can only fight on foot.

After thinking about it, Richard decided to position them as knights, and let them have the fief like their colleagues who rode horses to fight. After having the fief, whether to buy a horse to transform into a cavalry, that’s theirs. Things are up.

It is worth mentioning that those imperial knights riding war horses are not without knights, but their wars appear in another way, that is, the horse sergeants in the army, just like the introduction of the horse sergeants in the game: Horse sergeants include knights, wealthy civilians, or lower nobles, and their financial resources are not enough to purchase expensive equipment used by knights. Therefore, while giving the Empire's knights a feast, the horse sergeants in the army will also be assigned to go to the feast with their knight masters.

After deciding on the route of the imperial knights, Richard set about arranging his chain cavalry and crossbow cavalry. Since the horses they rode were more expensive than the infantry, Richard included them as homesteaders. The ranks, but given larger land and more preferential policies.

At this point, Richard put down his pen, and he suddenly thought of a very important question. According to the tradition that my vassal vassal was not my vassal in the Middle Ages, if he arranged the knights' beloved on the land of those earls, Doesn't it mean that he will not be able to mobilize those knights in the future? Because those knights are already vassals of the earl in a sense.

If the earl is a character of system origin he personally canonized, then everything is fine, but there are two earls in the kingdom who surrendered to him because of the situation. He can't guarantee that these two earls are 100% loyal to him. The loyalty of Frederick, Earl of Prime Minister, is relatively reliable, but the leader of Austera is not enough. You must know that the former Earl of the leader died under Richard’s shelling, even now. The whole body was never recovered.

In this way, some eggs hurt. After thinking about it, Richard suddenly had a solution, so he picked up the quill again and continued to write. If he greatly reduced the number of knights who needed to divide the beneficiary, then there would be no need to be allocated to the earl. However, there is only one way to reduce the beneficiaries, and that is to reorganize the palace guards. Compared with obtaining the beneficiaries, being able to enter the guards to protect the king is what many knights yearn for.

The size of the new Guards will remain within 800 people, including 180 imperial knights and 620 pedestrian imperial knights. The commander of this new imperial guard was originally intended to be handed over to Magnus. But Richard gave up this plan after thinking about it. With Magnus’s military talents, he should not continue to serve as the commander in command of the Janissaries, who have basically no warfare. Instead, he should become Richard’s lieutenant and follow Richard. Fight together-after this, Richard also has reason to be canonized as a new earl because of his exploits, just like Condela before.

At this point, Richard put down his pen again, thinking about the future of the Teutonic knights. From the perspective of his personal feelings, he really wanted to merge the more than 1,000 Teutonic knights into one knight order. This is actually pros and cons. The advantage is that the Knight Order will develop on its own, and its scale will become larger and larger, and there is no need to ask Richard to pay, but the disadvantages are also obvious. When Richard’s soul returns to heaven, After losing the system's loyalty constraints, it is still unknown whether the leader of the Knights will not accept the constraints of Chad's heirs because of their strength.

This is not an unreasonable imagination. In history, the Teutonic Knights rebelled against their masters because they were out of control, and fought against the Poles who asked them to enter Eastern Europe against the heretics.

However, this worry was quickly dispelled by Richard. He believed that he had the foundation he had laid down in his life, enough for his heir to destroy any rebellious forces.

As a result, Richard decided to set up a plan for the formation of the Knights. He planned to use an ownerless castle in the territory of Ulif as the first stronghold of the Knights, so that they can rely on this stronghold for development, and the first of the Knights As the head of the group, Richard naturally took over.

...

After finishing writing, Richard put the paper away and took it out at the next court meeting. He turned his head and glanced at the sky outside the window. Unknowingly, it was the afternoon when the sun gradually deflected to the west, and mild sunlight shone on the ground.

Richard stretched his waist and got up and walked towards the door. At the door he hadn’t left, the guards standing on both sides of the door pushed open the door first. Richard nodded at them and walked out. At this time, one of the guards asked: "Your Majesty, where are you going next?"

"Where to go?" Richard hesitated, or said, "Go to the garden, she should be there."

Speaking of it, it has been a long time since Richard had a few words with Revnie. During this period of time, he has been busy dealing with government affairs, either writing new instructions or leaving the palace to go to the barracks to learn about the soldiers’ opinions. The reaction to the marriage was to get together and get more together with Revnie. He knew that after his wedding with Stephanie, his meetings with Revnie might become less frequent.

After all, Stephanie is unlikely to accept Richard's affair.
