Eagle Flag of Epirus

"The little fox of Moria..." In Rusnina's palace, Emperor Mikhail whispered to himself. He was thousands of miles away and learned that Justinian was in Burrow. Pennisa's brilliant record. This military action completely exceeded his expectations. He originally ordered Agrinion to attack the Principality of Athens to consume the strength of the Count of Theodor, but he did not expect that the opponent would point the finger at Achaia. The man here couldn't help but sneered.

"What a good method, my brother!"

When the two people fought for the power of Epirus, they became incompatible. Although he was already the emperor at this time, Mikhail never thought that Theodor could easily give up. The attack on Achaia was a revenge against him. In fact, Mikhail had secret contact with the monarch of Achaia a year ago, with the intention of jointly destroying the Principality of Athens and Thessaloní. Card Kingdom, but now this plan has completely vanished.

But Mikhail’s anger in his heart was so irritated that he couldn’t vent because the deal with the Latins was not visible. The dirty relationship between him and the Holy See and the Crusaders had always been his heart disease. , This is a fatal threat to his orthodox position.

Justinian, it seems you really can't underestimate you! Having lost Muzfius, now you hug Theodor's thigh, it's a good way. Mikhail looked at the letter written by Theodore recommending Justinian as the governor of the Moria military district, and his eyes were full of cold light with a strong murderous intent.

However, as a superior, Mikhail quickly calmed down. Now that the ship is done, the Achaia state has no use value. Although that will make the Agrinion faction stronger, it will eliminate this confidant trouble. For the time being, it is in his interest. What's more, Mikhail believed that Justinian and Theodore were not monolithic, and Moria's fat meat might not be able to swallow it by his greedy brother.

The bustling city is a lively and prosperous scene. As it was not affected by the war, the city of Tripolis was not hit hard. Except for the shrinkage of commerce and trade due to the war between the two countries, the lives of residents were basically not affected too much. However, originally the Peloponnese’s economic status was not prominent in the Byzantine Empire. Although it was a very prosperous place in the classical era, the most prosperous places are Thessaloniki and Constantine after hundreds of years of development. In the area around the fort, the economic status of ancient cities such as Athens has declined drastically, and the same is true of Tripolis.

However, Tripolis is not very dependent on trade in the mainland, which is good news for Justinian. There are many farms on the outskirts of this agricultural city. Although they were looted by Turkic people before, Justinian had previously ordered that production materials such as mills, barns, garages, and stables were not destroyed. The tenant farmers who fled after the war also returned. In order to calm people's hearts, Justinian issued an edict promising not to retaliate against Latin civilians in the city, so many residents who wanted to escape were able to temporarily settle down and engage in production. As for the fields of Tripolis, which mainly produce barley, wheat, and olives, it is now in the busy season of farming. After the war, people are busy working on the fields.

Although the food needed to provide daily supplies for the locals, even so, it was enough for Justinian. His army was no more than two thousand, and it was temporarily enough to feed on the southern Peloponnese. On the contrary, the top priority now is to replenish the source of lost troops. Although Justinian won a great victory in the Alfios River battle, the cost was also disastrous. Most of the casualties of the Qincha were, and the heavy infantry and Turkic cavalry also lost a lot. More importantly, in order to complete the ambush against the Achaean knights, Justinian spent most of the Greek fire stored in the ark. He did not have a formula and used it once less, which made Justinian heartbroken. long time.

But the conscription also requires money. There is still a lot of the huge wealth that Justinian got from Alex III, but Justinian didn't want to use it for the time being, so he set his sights on the land.

The lands of the terraces outside Tripolis are undoubtedly invisible wealth. These lands were originally the property of the Pronian nobles, and later became the benefice of the Achaean knights. Now Justinian has captured it. Once here, these lands have become Justinian's possessions as they should. Da Jiangshan agreed to keep the country in trouble, and Justinian has felt this deeply in the past few days.

It is no easy task to manage this piece of land, and Justinian’s men, both Leo and Neusky, are both professional and lacking in economic acumen. Managing a large area of ​​land is simply racking his brains.

First of all, the chivalry system in Western Europe and the original Plogan system in Byzantium were directly excluded by Justinian. In terms of the integration of French and Byzantine legal systems, Justinian felt that the Achaia vassal’s approach was obviously better. In Athens, Thessaloniki also had the Latin Empire, so it was the country that lasted the longest in history and survived until the end of the Byzantine Empire. However, the knight fief has greatly suppressed military mobilization. Now that the Byzantine Empire is facing a huge crisis, this model must not be adopted~www.readwn.com~ It can be said that the later generations of the Pa dynasty lacked troops and the century-old Latin fiefdom. Inseparable relationship. As for the Plonian system, something that quenches thirst by drinking poison, is even abandoned by Justinian. It is undoubtedly one of the chief culprits of the current fragmentation of the empire. It has an economic structure similar to that of the chivalry system, but there is no system of fiefdom. Binding force, although the Plogna system originally provided the empire with a valuable source of high-quality troops, it eventually tore through the effective control of the central government over the locality.

Then there is only the only option to restore the military region system. This ancient system brought from North Africa to the Byzantine Empire from the era of Heracles has resisted countless foreign aggressions for the empire.

The so-called military district system is to replace provinces with military districts, both farmers and soldiers, ruled by generals in charge of the military; military districts obtain corresponding land, establish a military system, incorporate free peasants into the army, allocate their hereditary lands, and make them " Soldiers in the field of "soldier-agricultural unity" pay land tax and poll tax to the state, but do not perform public labor; they grant a large amount of land to army generals, and use land income as their basic salary. The difference between it and the Plogna system is that high-ranking nobles do not have the right to imprison territories, cannot annex state land, nor can they obtain control over the peasants on the territories.

However, it is not easy to do this. The military region system itself contributed to the rise of feudal military aristocracy. The emperor failed to prevent them from joining the remnant old aristocracy, occupying a large amount of land, strengthening the control of peasants, and gradually forming local feudal separatist forces. , Then I want to do this is undoubtedly a foolish dream. The Plogna system itself is actually a compromise to the vested interests of the military region system. Historically, the Lascaris family of Nicea also promoted the reconstruction of the military region system in Nicea and finally failed to be a good example.
