Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 4 Chapter 2: Unbearable

The Nicaea Empire was actually the most promising to revive the glory of the Byzantine Empire. The Lascaris family was desperate to rebuild the military region system, but in the end it failed. The most critical factor was the strength of the old aristocracy. When Chiracello came to Constantinople with the army of the province of Africa under his hand, the old nobles were almost slaughtered by the usurper Focas, so the implementation of the new system was naturally much easier. However, Nicaea is now the main place of exile for the great nobles of Constantinople, so it is conceivable that the Lascaris family faces resistance.

But Justinian did not exist such obstacles. The arrival of the Latins disintegrated the rule of the Western Byzantine Empire, all old relations were uprooted, the Orthodox Church and Pronian nobles were either killed or expelled, and occupied Mo Justinian of Leah can freely control the land in his hands. Looking at Tripolis along the way, everything here is in his vision. At this time, the sun is already west, but in the surrounding villages, many tenant farmers are still sweating like rain, working hard in the fields, panting, everything should make people feel at ease, but Justinian’s heart still exists. One fluctuation.

Seeing the prosperity in front of him, Tripolis Justinian finally made a plan to start his own attempt from here.

"What, you said you want to reward the land to the meritorious soldiers? You want to rebuild the Sam system?!" Nevsky learned of Justinian's thoughts and looked at the young man in surprise. , This is not a simple idea. Although Justinian is the governor of Moriah, in fact he does not have the right to do so. This is often a decision the emperor can make. Moreover, it is not easy for Justinian to give land to meritorious soldiers. These properties are nominally the property of Moriah's exiled nobles, and it is undoubtedly illegal to dispose of their land without authorization.

"This is too risky, Justinian, it is a great crime for you to do so. And don't forget, your soldiers are the soldiers of Theodor Dukas. You use this method. It will only make the other party suspect that you are winning over his subordinates." Nevsky completely denied Justinian’s idea. This is crazy. The military region system has long existed in name. Justinian’s attempt to restore it is completely futile. .

But Justinian did not hesitate, but retorted: "The entire empire, millions of people, but when the Latin army was besieging Constantinople, where was the army? Even the Royal Guard The Varangian Guards were all owed salaries for half a year at the time. Niewuski, you should know the best, but what made the empire, which was extremely powerful and able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, become weak now. The soldiers sang praises to the Emperor. The slogan, fighting for the empire, what did they get in the end? The salary of Weibo is not enough to support their family. Years of war have prevented them from going back to farming, and they even have to serve their chief officials and suffer from bureaucracy. He knocked his bones and sucked his marrow, squeezed one copper plate and another copper plate. It was not as alive as a livestock, but in the end, it was unavoidable that one's land was taken by the lord and turned into a slave. If you encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, you will inevitably lose your family. The rural commune disappeared and disintegrated, but the fattening was a group of incompetent nobles. When the country is in danger, no one wants to stand up! People who love her have no power, and those who have power have no conscience, and even sit on the throne. People’s souls are also rotten, so I have to change everything-from now on."

For a while, Neusky was shocked. He didn't expect Justinian to say this, and it didn't even make him feel like a young man could say it. Justinian's words even gave He had a frightened feeling. Those words pointedly pointed at the powerful nobles in the Byzantine Empire, and looking at Justinian who said these words, he didn't know whether to praise him for being brave or calling him a lunatic.

"What you said is true, but who doesn't know that this country has been sick for a long time. But what can you change that the emperors of the past can't do? Blaming the wolves for their evil cannot stop their greed. !" Nevsky couldn't help but let out a sigh. He didn't know this. It was the greed of the nobles that destroyed everything in the empire.

"I didn't blame anyone, I just told the situation that this country is facing. Of course I understand what you mean, but I didn't mean to negotiate with wild wolves. The best way to deal with greedy beasts is to butcher a knife. Neither did I. Saving this country is such a lofty ideal, but I know that if you want more people to live, you must let some people die. This country has become so bad, not because there are too few good people, but too many bad people~www. readwn.com~No amount of good deeds can offset a bad deed. Allocating land to the soldiers so that they can farm with peace of mind and live a rich life is just the first step. More importantly, eliminate those potential threats. , So that they can’t destroy the stable life I gave them. This will be done once and for all.” After Justinian finished speaking, there was a terrifying light in his eyes, making Nieus who looked at Justinian. Ji also felt a little bit afraid, what a killing decision this was.

Your Majesty Muzfius, what kind of person did you choose! Neusky muttered to himself.

In order to change the destiny of the empire, the emperors of the Komunin dynasty have been desperate, and some have finally given up on themselves. During the Angelus dynasty, the empire was so ill that it was finally taken advantage of by the Latins, but at this time, the little boy in front of him stood up and said that he wanted to change everything. However, Neusky didn't think it was absurd. If it was someone else, he might sneer, but if it was Moria's little fox, he really believed that he would give himself a huge surprise.

"But if you do this, the nobles at Tena Dragon Cape will probably not give up. And you said that you want to go there before? This is probably not good for our negotiations with them." Although praise Justinian Niewuski still expressed his worries about his thoughts and determination. Although he won Tripolis to give them a foothold in the Peloponnese, they were still facing the Achaean Marquis at this time. It is best to unite all forces as much as possible.

But unexpectedly, Justinian made a sneer, "Oh, I didn’t say to cooperate with them. It doesn’t matter what you want to do. You don’t have to worry about Nevsky. Those people will naturally be overwhelmed by the time. "Enter the chapter review (0)?
