After Becoming The Tyrant

The idea of ​​reforming the military system came into being when the king was in Tru City.

From the king's own point of view, the military system of this era is the same as the chivalry principle, which should be kneaded and thrown into the fireplace to be burned.

Like most countries at the same time, Legrand's military system centered on the knight system, and established a military system in which cavalry charged the rest of the arms to cooperate with the military through the land conferring bond of "kings and vassals". In terms of system, the military service system, the militia conscription system and the mercenary system are the main ones.

When the king was quelling the civil strife, the army borrowed from the Anger State was not a normal call-up.

Under normal circumstances, if the king wants to start a war, he needs to issue a call-up order first, and then the nobles in each region will lead a different number of knights to gather at the designated place of the king according to their own situation and military service requirements. Place.This is the core strength of the king's army.

However, these people did not obey the king's command unconditionally.

Their military service lasts only forty days, and once they exceed forty days, they have the right to disperse on their own.

great!

Can the king tolerate this terrible military system of knights?An army that is likely to run away halfway through the battle?

Oh, and an undisciplined army, one largely influenced by the leading nobles.

The king will not deny that these military systems have played a role that cannot be ignored at certain specific times, but, sorry——

Now is his time.

The king chose to let this kind of army be submerged in the dust of history together with those great nobles.

"I can clear some obstacles for you, but if so, you can't do what I ask..." The king smiled, "I think, sir, then you can prepare a coffin for yourself."

Baron Sean looked at the king in surprise. He was already mentally prepared for difficult changes, but according to the king, it seemed that the king would deal with some of the difficulties for him first.

"For example, some of our county sheriffs who have forgotten their identities."

Hearing that the target of the king's sweep was "Mr. Sheriff", Baron Sean couldn't help but adjust his view of the king again—maybe the king is indeed cruel and violent, but he is indeed worthy of being the son of William III, with sharp eyesight and sobriety.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

For the first time, Lord Sheen addressed the King as "Your Majesty" in all sincerity.

"If some... um... Mr. Sheriff, the follow-up matters will be easier to handle."

"I thought you wouldn't be jealous of anything, Mr. Sean." The king had a half-smile, "After all, your courage to open the bow was impressive enough, why did even the brave gentleman start to be tactful?"

Baron Sean coughed, not knowing how to reply to the king's words.

He didn't know how many times he complained to his followers about the greedy sheriffs appointed by the king in the past, but now these words of accusing the king face to face... Since he is on the verge of survival, why should he run to his own death?

Fortunately, the king did not intend to continue to pursue the above.

"By the way," the king seemed to think of something, "come to think of it, you've seen the armor of those ancient heavy cavalry, right? Let me guess that maybe you took the pains to fish them out of the mud later? Is that so? ,gentlemen."

Lord Sean coughed awkwardly.

The king chuckled: "Don't worry, what I mean... Show me your determination and ability, then you will have armor and horses. Maybe you will even have more powerful and terrifying weapons."

Our Mr. King is really good at sticks and carrots.

But for the time being at least, Baron Sheen has jumped into the king's warship willingly.He didn't know what the more terrifying weapon the king was talking about, but he was willing to clear some obstacles for him, and he already felt the sincerity of the king.The king did not want him to die in vain at will.

Instead, it really wants to push the military reform to the end.

"The rose cavalry will whip up an unstoppable wind on the ground, can it be done, general."

The king restrained his smile, and the sunlight fell on him through the exquisite lattice windows. His silver-haired blue eyes overlapped with all the trembling Rose Emperors, and the majesty of the Rose Family condensed on him.

William III bequeathed a valuable fortune to his son.

Although people are worried about the king's absurd violence, when he is wearing armor and holding a long sword to lead the knights, as long as he shows a little bravery and strength, then people will subconsciously compare the Rose family with his father's glory. It shrouded him again, and he couldn't help but have some expectations.

This is exactly the case with Baron Sean right now.

"It's my pleasure."

He clenched his fist and beat his heart, and answered solemnly like an oath.

The king smiled faintly.

He clapped his hands, and an attendant walked in holding an iron rose badge in a delicate box.

"Take it, sir."

………………

Lord Sheen - oh, perhaps we should call him General Sheen - took his leave with a mixture of joy and trepidation.

When he came, his face was solemn, and when he left, he smiled so brightly that the court maids couldn't help but quietly looked at the young blond knight.Wearing the Iron Rose, he hurried to bring his group of loyal soldiers out of prison.

The king sighed and picked up another list from the table.

If General Sean could see this list with many detailed notes, he would understand that he was moved in vain.

This romantic idealist really thought that the king would have such things as "sincerity" and "sincerity".

Of course the king will clear some obstacles for Baron Sean first.

This guy is a military genius and a political idiot. He doesn't want his future capable general to die in the political vortex of intrigue with the nobles.After looking at the list of experienced generals given to him by the Duke of Buckingham, the king found helplessly that the most suitable candidate at the moment was actually only Mr. Sheen.

Granted, those Royalists who wore the Iron Rose were loyal to him and experienced and excellent, but there was a problem, they were almost as old as the Duke of Buckingham.

To reform this kind of thing requires young blood to be full of enthusiasm.

It's better to be kind and let our old generals go.

And the other younger generations... Coincidentally, most of those wine, meat and rice bags are on the list that the king will clean up next.

I hope the new system will allow the king to discover more outstanding talents.

The king's father, William III, once launched a military reform, trying to form a standing army, but unfortunately, William III died just after the beginning.The king now intends to continue what his father had left unfinished.

If you really want a change to go smoothly and achieve the expected results, then you can't act too hastily, and you must have sufficient preparations in the early stage.The fact that the king was able to conceal the news that he was not dead for a month, and did not come back until the very last moment, already showed that he could be terribly tolerant when necessary.

According to the king's expectation, the best opportunity for military reform is to complete the preliminary preparations and wait for General John's return.

Once General John is redeemed, the king will be able to know the inside story of the Battle of Bouwen, and there will be enough reasons to instigate the national hatred of the people of Legrand towards the Blacy Kingdom... that is the best way for the king to make drastic changes opportunity.

The object of preparation in the early stage is just as the king said to General Sean, that is Mr. Sheriff.

Let's take a closer look at Legrand's military system.

In the conscription system, in addition to the military service of the nobles, there is also a very critical militia conscription system.

Legrand's militia conscription system is also called "calling and review system".

The sheriffs of each county organized militias, and all free citizens who had grown up and were under the age of 60 were included in the conscripts.After the militia gathered at the designated location, the sheriff selected the number of people stipulated by the king's conscription order at this time, and then the sheriff opened the arsenal of the county, distributed armor and swords, and took them back after the war. During the service, the militia's military pay and logistics were provided by the king himself.

—Look at how convenient this system is for the sheriff to play tricks on it!

It was enough to make an ambitious king furious.

Old things should have the self-consciousness to leave the venue honestly.

The king wants to strengthen his control over the counties, push through the reform of the conscription system smoothly, and keep his taxes from flowing into the pockets of these greedy guys-although he somehow pulled them out a few days ago, just An exhaustive investigation and a shake-up must be carried out.

Now is a good time. During the civil war, many county chiefs also participated in the rebellion.

So, where to start?

Start with Grand Duke Grace.

Don't get me wrong, Grand Duke Grace was indeed dead, but he left a "generous" fortune for the King.Grand Duke Grace's wife was from the Grew family.The Gelu family has been in the land transportation business for hundreds of years, and it is precisely because of this that the Grand Duke of Gelu can let a conspicuous ancient Lundi heavy cavalry appear quietly outside the castle of Truu.

The Grew family put their chips on the Grand Duke Grice in the civil war, and of course lost everything.However, the patriarch of the Grew family is a man of sense.He prostrated himself before the king's throne early, expressing that he and his family were eager for all opportunities to serve the king.

Thanks to Grand Duke Grace who is still shining and glowing after his death until today.

May the Holy Lord bless him to have a spirit after death, so he won't be so angry that he bangs on the lid of the coffin... Wait, did His Majesty the King bury him?

Ah, this is a small detail, it doesn't matter, please don't care about it.

It's time for the Gru family to switch to serving the king.

………………

The snow fell to the ground, and the team that paid the ransom to welcome General John set off from Mezl Castle together with General Sean. At the same time, the patriarch of the Grew family walked into the Rose Palace in fear.

Soon, what the king once said came true.

Winter is here, and it's time for our officials to run errands.

In this winter with nothing to do, the carriages of the Grew family began to travel through the counties, large and small, up and down the country. The commissioners sent by the king in groups of two and two arrived in each county, convened representatives of the citizens, and walked through the streets. to investigate.The questions of the investigation were drawn up by the king himself, and the number reached hundreds.

This is a busy winter.

In addition to the questionnaire on the surface, there are also some people from the Gelu family who also have a mission.

They want to recruit some talents for the king.

In the eyes of some ordinary people, they should be thrown on the stake.

For example, some doctors who love to dissect corpses, some devils who are obsessed with dealing with bottles and jars

The people of the Grew family didn't know what the king wanted these "talented people" to do, but they didn't dare to ask, so they had to do their best to ask people about the local situation.

Well, it's better to be tired than to lose your head, right?

Seeing the people in the Grew family being busy, another group of people couldn't sit still.

That is the five-port alliance.

These businessmen did a lot of "good things" for Grand Duke Grace during the civil war, but the king seemed to have forgotten them and did not express his position on their disposal for a long time.On the surface it seemed like luck that the king spared them.

but--

Who will believe this?

The author has something to say: to catch insects, ask for nutrient solution by the way.

Participated in an essay contest, is the beautiful little tyrant eligible to get the nutrient solution of the babies?

King: In my time, I have the final say.

The Grew family: dare not say anything, and dare not ask anything.

Grand Duke Grice, who is still playing with his spare heat today: mmp, is he a human officer?
