As mentioned before, the system of the Kingdom of Camelot is very old. Like other relatives in Europe, it belongs to the feudal system.
Nominally, the king is the master of the entire country.
In fact, he can only be regarded as a patriarch at most.
Under the king, there are many "princes".
The so-called great nobles, great lords, and kings are such roles.
They have their own territories, their own political teams, official systems, and can even form armies.
As long as they have money, the noble lords have the right to raise as many knights as they want, and the king has no control at all.
However, when a war breaks out, the king has the right to recruit these noble lords to fight for him.
But there is a prerequisite.
That is, the strength of the central government must be overwhelmingly strong.
Otherwise, the people below will not care about you at all.
During the reign of King Uther, Camelot was at its peak. The official Knights of the City of Cretaceous had a standing number of more than 50,000 men. The northern kings naturally did not dare to turn their backs on King Uther.
After all, they still had to rely on the central government to provide various material assistance.
But as time went on, the wolf cubs were all fed and fattened.
Their ambitions naturally became bigger and bigger.
In addition, after the death of King Uther, a new king was not elected for a long time.
The northern kings naturally became more and more domineering.
They even threatened to "strike", not to resist Vortigern, and to abandon the northern front, forcing the City of Cretaceous to continue to provide various assistance.
If not.
In the Age of Gods, when people were rich, they could eat for a year by just sowing a handful of seeds, and they had a unique geographical environment.
How could the Kingdom of Camelot be so poor?
Hasn’t most of it been taken away by the northern kings under various pretexts?
The central government is weak, and the kings are strong.
It is normal for this situation to happen.
Just as there were still some fence-sitters in the City of Cretaceous who were ready to switch to Vortigern, it is the same as betting on both sides.
However, thanks to the selfless contributions of these fence-sitters, Lin Yi can barely hold on now.
"Saint, is this a bit inappropriate?"
After hesitating for a moment, Quills persuaded: "If you do this, I’m afraid it will force the northern kings to resist us!"
"Resist?"
Lin Yi just smiled: "Minister Quills, do you think they have room to resist?"
After Vortigern’s death, all the Saxons under his command became Lin Yi’s subjects!
This group of elite soldiers and generals have been fighting against the northern kings for many years, and their tactical skills have been honed to perfection!
If the northern kings had not taken advantage of the terrain and the steep mountains in the north.
I’m afraid they would have been killed by the Saxons long ago!
Not to mention, these were the Saxons who were hungry and cold before, and whose weapons were rusty and broken.
If he had beenIf we had the conditions we have now, I’m afraid the northern front would have been broken through long ago!
"Even so, I still don’t think this is a good idea."
Quells sighed and added: "At least not now."
"Minister Quills, I know what you are worried about. Don’t worry, I won’t take up arms lightly, let alone attack the northern kings at this juncture. If you want to resist foreign aggression, you must first stabilize the internal situation. How can you spare your hands to deal with foreign enemies if the internal conflicts are not resolved?"
Camelot is deformed now.
The military force is extremely strong, far exceeding the period of King Uther.
There are not only 10,000 knights stationed in the City of Chalk, but also more than 100,000 Saxon Legions.
The high-end combat power is a group of titled knights, such as Red Dragon Knight Altria, Sun Knight Gawain, and Rectification Knight Kai.
The Great Magician of the Age of Gods also has Morgan and Meli.
Add to that the genuine god-level combat power Lin Yi.
Not to mention the northern kings, even the invincible Roman Empire can be defeated!
But while the military power reached its peak, the country was so poor that even the people couldn’t fill their stomachs.
The poverty here is not a lack of money, but a lack of food.
Lack of a huge amount of food!
Therefore, Lin Yi must first solve this stubborn problem before he can truly play the role of the kingdom’s invincible army!
"So, Saint, what are you going to do?"
Under Quills’s gaze, the young man put away his smile and said in a shocking way: "I am going to modify the system and take back the royal power!"
Any struggle involving power will always involve bloodshed.
Or use gentle means, silently, and step by step to slowly take back the rights that the king should have.
But now Lin Yi obviously has no time to play any political games with the nobles.
The building is about to collapse.
He must use the most vigorous and ruthless means to take back all the dispersed power in the shortest time!
Therefore, it is inevitable to modify the system!
From the feudal system, it has evolved to the centralized system!
From now on, all power belongs to the king alone!
It has reached the point where he can truly speak the law of heaven and decide life and death with one word!
In this system, the nobles have become redundant, the poison of the old era, and the product of old corruption!
They deserve to be swept into the garbage dump!
In the new era, there will no longer be so-called nobles.
There is no need for kings to divide the royal power.
Only officials who work for the king are needed!
To achieve this, you must have overwhelming force and seize the commanding heights of public opinion.
Turn "injustice" into "justice"!
Coincidentally, Lin Yi has this force.
The 10,000 Knights of the City of Cretaceous have sworn allegiance to the new king, and the Saxons are even more so.
As long as they want to be hereFor a country to survive, it can only rely on King Lin Yi.
Therefore, the Saxon Legion is born to be loyal to Lin Yi!
Anyone may betray, but the Saxons are absolutely impossible.
As long as Lin Yi gives an order, these Saxon warriors will dare to raise their butcher knives against the nobles and kill them until blood flows like a river!
Of course.
In actual operation, it must not be so ruthless and rough.
This is not conducive to Lin Yi’s rule.
The butcher knife can only make people afraid. If you want the people below to obey completely, you need to use the "name of righteousness" and give some sweet dates.
So Lin Yi summoned all the nobles who supported Altria before.
Give them a choice.
The city of chalk.
A certain duke’s mansion.
After learning about the new policy, a group of nobles gathered here.
They criticized Lin Yi’s policies indignantly, and the noise was endless.
"The new king wants to take away our fiefdoms and our hereditary titles! He is digging up our roots!"
"If you ask me, I should have supported Vortigern in the first place! At least, Vortigern would not do such a thing!"
"Without our expenses, how can he be king? If we all quit, who will manage the country for him?"
"What about nationalization of land… Oh, the new king is still too young. Doesn’t he know that as long as the system is implemented by people, there will inevitably be loopholes?"
"After the nationalization of land, it will only breed more termites! Eat up the country!" (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Whether you agree or not, I will never agree!"
The nobles expressed their opinions, and some of their words made sense at first glance.
But if you think about it carefully, you will know that what they care about is not the Kingdom of Camelot, but their own interests.
The so-called defense of the country is actually just defending their own land and their own wealth!
One by one, the great nobles and lords.
Inside the Kingdom of Camelot, they created a space that was like a small kingdom, which was beyond the supervision of the law.
They hoarded a lot of food and wealth.
Now Lin Yi wants these rats to hand over their treasures. Except for a few smart people who can see the situation clearly, how can most of the idiots agree?
Some people even threatened to start a rebellion, welcome the northern kings into the city of chalk, and become the new king of Camelot!
Among the northern kings, King Liao Dekuan, who can rank in the top five in strength, is one of the new kings chosen by the nobles.
Northern border.
In the wealthy territory of Camington.
The sturdy man, full of pride, was showing off his achievements to his ministers. []
“Look, come and see!”
The thick fingers, like small white radishes, held a letter and keptShake, show off.
King Liao Dekuan’s face was full of pride and contempt for the new king: "Hahaha, that young new king, he hasn’t even sat firmly on the throne, and he can’t wait to take action against the nobles."
"He doesn’t even think about it. Even his father, who is tough and ruthless, doesn’t dare to do this! Just relying on him, he dares to touch the interests of the nobles? What an ignorant person is fearless! Dare to call yourself a saint? Pah!"
"It seems that it won’t be long before I have the opportunity to sit on the throne of Wang Wei of the City of Cretaceous and be the King of Camelot!"
Hearing this, a group of ministers below immediately echoed.
While praising King Liao Dekuan’s wisdom and bravery, he belittled the stupidity of the new King of Camelot.
Hearing the strong man laughing, he felt more and more proud.
In short, he was just floating.
Without even thinking about it, he was ready to agree to the nobles’ request and send troops to cooperate with them.
Break down the city of chalk in one fell swoop!
However.
Just as King Liao Dekuan was about to speak, a very beautiful blonde girl in a white dress walked in quickly with an ugly look on her face.
"It’s Guinevere, my dear daughter, why are you here? It’s so cold today, you should take care of yourself and don’t catch a cold!"
He was not angry at the girl’s rude behavior. As a daughter slave, King Liao Dekuan was very tolerant of his precious daughter. Instead, he immediately changed his face and kept asking about her well-being.
However, Guinevere did not appreciate it.
He asked expressionlessly: "Father, what were you talking about just now? What made you so happy? Why don’t you tell me and make me happy too."
"……………………"
The old face froze, and King Liao Dekuan was speechless.
One knows his own business.
This man, who was as strong as a bear, knew that he was not suitable for governing a country or being a king.
So he often asked the smart Guinevere for advice on governing a country in private.
Even if he was scolded occasionally, he just smiled and pretended not to hear it, without any dignity of a king.
The ministers naturally knew this.
At this time, everyone looked at their noses and their hearts, pretending that they saw nothing.
“..This……………..”
Recalling the situation described in the nobles’ letters, King Liao Dekuan felt that there should be no big problem. He made up his mind and directly told everything he had planned just now.
Finally, he carefully looked at Guinevere’s face and confirmed again and again: “My dear daughter, this should be no big deal, right? That idiot… Ahem, the new king dug his own grave, and I just added a handful of soil. Besides, my dear daughter, don’t you want to try the taste of being a princess?”
As if he felt that what he said made senseThe more he spoke, the more excited King Liao Dekuan became.
"Guinevere, think about it, she is the princess! You are my favorite child. After I die, who else can be the next King of Camelot if not you? Don’t you want to be the queen? Only by becoming the queen can you maximize your talents………………"
"Enough!!!"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a loud shout.
The silent ministers had already found excuses to run away, and even King Liao Dekuan, who was as strong as a bear, was frightened and trembled all over.
It seemed that he was afraid of the beautiful girl in white dress in front of him.
"Father, do you know what you are talking about?"
The ministers had already run away, and at this moment, only the father and daughter were left in the palace.
Guinevere stared at King Liao Dekuan with her lake-blue eyes without any emotion, until the latter’s scalp was numb, she gnashed her teeth and scolded: "I originally thought that you, father, had studied for so long, at least more stable than before! But now it seems that you have not made any progress at all!"
"……………………"
King Liao Dekuan, who was scolded, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to defend himself.
But after being glared at by Guinevere, he immediately sat back on the throne with his head down.
"Do you know that your decision will lead our family into an endless abyss? That group of nobles are dead! The reason why the new king allowed them to contact you was simply to find an excuse to eliminate us, the annoying things!"
"No…………(Liao Nuo Zhao)… Not really?"
King Liao Dekuan was stunned and said incomprehensibly: "The northern kings have a total of 100,000 troops. If they grit their teeth, they can gather 200,000. Does the new king really dare to attack us?"
"Not really?"
Guinevere frowned and sneered: "He just guessed your lucky mentality, so he fished so casually! Do you think 200,000 troops are a lot? If you are so powerful, why are you still beaten by the Saxons?"
"Uh……"
King Liao Dekuan, who was exposed by his daughter and slapped on the spot, was choked, his face turned pale, and he couldn’t speak.
Fortunately, he was not someone who would not listen to advice.
After being scolded, he finally learned his lesson.
He began to think about Guinevere’s words.
"Father, think about it carefully. After Vortigern was defeated, where did his Saxons go?"
With a sigh, Guinevere reluctantly comforted her useless old father and explained in detail: "Think about it again. The City of Cretaceous has long been emptied by the northern kings and nobles. The new king not only has hundreds of thousands of Saxons to feed, but also has to feed the refugees who suffered from the snowstorm this year.If you were the new king…what would you do?"
What would you do?
Finally, King Liao Dekuan was awakened.
Instantly, the clothes on his back were completely wet with cold sweat!
If I were the new king, what would I do?
Do I need to ask?
Of course………………
Rob!
Rob who?
That depends on who is willing to take the initiative to deliver himself to the door and give the handle…slave..
