Proof of the Sun King

The Dark Rolling River, as the name suggests, was dug out by the dwarves of Dulong City to connect the underground river channel between the northern bay of Norsca and the southern bay of Norsca. The army, the river deep beneath the Norscan mountains became the lifeline for the Norscan dwarves to communicate with the outside world.

However, this lifeline cannot be used all day, because it is easy for the Norsca or Skaven to know, so the way for the Dulong City dwarves is to choose a safe time period and reduce the number of uses to maintain concealment.

The dark rolling river channel is extremely dark, and there are only a few rune stones of Norsca dwarves and torches on passenger ships to illuminate and provide the way forward. The complex and changeable river channels even have different dwarf rune marks, which need to be identified. If you go wrong, you will either die or fall into a trap, or even a deep pit that you don't know where to go.

As a result, Ryan woke up early, only to find that it was dark outside, with stones on both sides, on the zenith, and in the distance. The King of Knights watched boredly and stayed on the deck for a while, finding that he had nothing to do.

Little Thorgreen and his good friend Jed are still on the deck. What these two mustaches like most is this kind of cave environment. Needless to say, dwarves have a special preference for this kind of environment. Said that they were born to love mines and caves, and little Solgreen murmured about what he would do if he were the great king of Dulong City, how he would build this place, without regard for eternity. The Supreme King of Zhifeng takes it seriously. The mustache is just like his father Bellegar, and it has already swelled a bit. Anyway, without the help of the Supreme King, haven't we recaptured the Eight Peaks?

"Oh, it's Your Majesty Ryan." Moustache was very happy to see Ryan appearing. He gave Ryan the etiquette of a dwarf, and then said to Ryan, "Have you eaten breakfast? Would you like some?"

The two mustaches had breakfast on the deck, and the dwarf's breakfast was beer, sausage, goat cheese, and dwarf lye bread.

Ryan thought to himself that you would make such a hard dish early in the morning? The king of knights quickly shook his head: "I have prepared it there. I am not used to eating such hard food in the morning."

"Aha, it seems that His Majesty Ryan has better food." Jed - the honest man smiled, this mustache respects Ryan, he is grooming his beard, although Jed's beard only reaches his chest, the dwarf He has always regarded his beard as a symbol of his status and seniority. The beard must be brushed and washed regularly to be beautiful and smooth. The two mustaches are naturally back waves. They wash their beards every day on the passenger ship.

"Huh? Your Majesty Ryan, why did you shave your beard again?" Jed immediately noticed that Ryan had shaved his beard cleanly again, leaving no stubble, so he complained, "Your Majesty, you don't have anything. Good, but why is there no good habit of growing a beard? I know that humans and dwarves have different habits, but don't you humans also have beards when you get old?"

"Uh..." Ryan touched his bare chin, thinking that I can't tell you that the fairy in the lake is afraid of pain and itch?

Speaking of herself, the goddess is really a bit too much. If you want to make out with her now, you have to serve her comfortably first, but she is too aware of Ryan's weaknesses, and the two sides have established a relationship. Ryan is still under the goddess's dress Shamefully from.

After thinking about it, Ryan could only laugh: "It's easy to deal with, just like many people in the empire like to shave their heads."

"Your Majesty Ryan, we will arrive at Dulong City in two days. When I supported Erlengrad, I had a conversation with the Maharaja Torgard. The dwarves of Dulong City were separated from the Kingdom of Mountains by 7,000 years. Years later, there has been a big difference in culture and customs. When you get there, no matter what Lord Torgard asks, as long as it is not too excessive or too strange, please do as he said." Little Sol Green held a piece of lye bread in his hand, and he added: "It shouldn't embarrass us, the defense of Erlengrad and Operation Bagration are fully involved in Dulong City, and I will also take you The deeds have been told to Your Majesty."

"It seems that the Supreme King's law is not working for Dulong City?" Ryan understood what little Solgreen meant.

"It's been too long." Little Thorgreen shook his head: "We have to be glad that the Norsca dwarves are not like our cousins ​​like Chaos, it can be said to be lucky."

Lane nodded silently.

The feudal expansion system that many people admire has similar problems. It is true that the feudal system is the fastest way to control some remote and backward areas and newly recovered areas, but the feudal system is most likely to cause two problems. The first is the localization of vassals. The second is that the tail will not fall off.

The issue of annexing territories has already been discussed above, and will not be repeated here.

Ryan has always been against the view of some people that a large number of immigrants and enfeoffment can promote their own culture, spread their own racial blood, and expand their legal principles. Just use your own culture and system. Everyone feels this way, and you feel that the meat will rot in the pot in the end.

This is actually a very wishful thinking. Take the dwarves as an example. The two largest branches of the dwarves during the Geographical Discovery of the Mountain Kingdom were the Dulongcheng dwarves and the Chaos dwarves in the dark realm. The former maintained a unique The strange state of not being a minister, the latter simply succumbed to Chaos, abandoned the belief in the ancestor god, and became a subject of Hassut, the father of darkness, the secondary **** of chaos.

This is true of the dwarves who are so fond of tradition and ancestral glory, let alone humans.

These are the two most likely problems with enfeoffment. The first is that the tail cannot be lost. Take Dulong City as an example. The dwarves here have formed their own culture and their own social organization after they came to Norsca. I don't want to go back to the kingdom of the mountains, so after the negotiation between the High King and the Maharaja, the two sides can only maintain the status quo.

Who wants to have more than one master on his head?

The second problem is even worse, that is, like the Chaos Dwarves, after they were far away from the border and disconnected from the central government, the dwarven expeditions quickly localized, abandoned the original culture, and gradually turned to worship Chaos, and the kingdom of the mountains have become complete enemies and claim to be orthodox.

Then someone will definitely say that this is only after the contact is cut off. What if the contact is not cut off? Suppose it is only encapsulated outside the border? Suppose that the bloodline of the Supreme King guarantees legal rationality?

Taking Lane's previous life, the Celestial Dynasty as an example, there were only seals outside the borders of the country, most of which were ruled by shackles, but there were also real seals, but once this head was opened and there was a precedent for real seals, then the seals and seals would gradually begin to be sealed. It is sealed within its own core area. For example, the Jiedushi system is gradually formed in this way.

As for the royal bloodline, it is easier. Lao Zhu, who brought Ming Ming, has explained everything with the system of the king of the king. When the central government changes, these royal bloodlines can all have the right of inheritance. Guess they got the news. Are you willing to continue to live a miserable life in the desolate and backward fiefs, or bring the army back to the central government to fight for your own status or even the throne?

The Eight Kings Rebellion warned, but Fengtianjing was difficult to warn.

As mentioned earlier, over time, the central government will definitely have problems.

Furthermore, even if the fiefs are linked together, the divided regimes can easily be "localized" gradually, and the four major Khanates of the Mongolian Empire, except the Yuan Dynasty, have all been completely greened within a hundred years.

why? Because of the small population, there are only two ways to control more with less. The first is to kill all the locals. For example, the US imperialists did this to the Indians. The second is to localize themselves, like The Four Khanates soon became localized.

Of course, there is a third type of continuous blood transfusion by the central government, giving money to people and resources.

Not to mention that large-scale blood transfusion for such a long period of time is the way to subjugate the country, but large-scale blood transfusion alone is actually entrusted to others instead of bureaucratic management. What is the central government trying to do?

Therefore, it is very difficult. It would be death to seal the seal at a close distance, and it is not beneficial to expand the seal at a long distance. If you don’t plan to do what the US imperialists did to the Indians, you must have a large and sufficient population, otherwise you will be swept away. Drive away (like the Yuan Dynasty) or gradually localize like the Chaos Dwarves (like the Four Khanates).

However, Ryan doesn't think that the encapsulation is worthless at all. For example, if the immediate family members are far away and can't come back, there is no place for local people, let him be self-reliant and keep some seeds of hope, then there is still some room for manipulation. Yes, such as the Eastern Song Dynasty in Australia, the Daming Dynasty in North America, and the Third Rome. Similar to this is possible and has room for manipulation.

It's like saying that Brother Guilliman's Five Hundred Worlds established the Second Empire at the critical moment of the Horus Rebellion, resolutely provoked the burden of reviving the Human Empire, and claimed to be the orthodox empire! At least there is still some hope of revival.

In fact, according to Little Solgreen, Dulong City even retains more traditional rune technology and ancient forging techniques than the Dwarf Mountain Kingdom, but because it has not experienced the era of cataclysm and faced the destruction of green skins Attack, Dulong City dwarves are very backward in civil engineering and firearms technology.

Ryan thought about it a lot until the fairy in the lake appeared on the deck. The goddess was wearing a mint crystal blue bright and colorful layered mercerized dress today, and her long bright blond hair was wrapped in a high elf lady's hairstyle at the back of her head, and then it looked like a waterfall. It hangs like a dangling, almost to the ankle, a pair of beautiful feet wrapped in white ultra-thin lace back-stitched tights wears a pair of shallow fish mouth high heels with golden iris embossed, revealing the beautiful toes wrapped in stockings, painted Wearing green nail polish, she was bathed in white-gold light rain all over her body. When she saw Ryan dazed on the deck, the fairy in the lake called him: "Ryan, what are you doing still on the deck? Come here. "

"Breakfast?" Ryan noticed that no one on the deck noticed the appearance of the goddess except himself, it should be her illusion.

"Yeah, Morgiana is ready." The fairy in the lake motioned for Ryan to come over quickly.

When Ryan heard the words and returned to the cabin, he shrugged at the goddess and smiled: "Look, Lilith, it's dark everywhere, I almost thought it wasn't breakfast, it was dinner!"

"Dinner? Dinner is good. After dinner, we can just exercise a little, so that our knight king lacks exercise!" The fairy in the lake skillfully held Ryan's arm and pressed her plump softness directly on Ryan's arm. superior.

"Uh..." Ryan's face suddenly turned green. During this time, he dealt with Lilith and Morgiana by himself. These two women are big psionic users. Morgiana was carefully selected as the fairy in the lake. The divine power generator and storage of Ryan can absorb Ryan's psionic energy almost infinitely, and Morgiana has recently begun to try to hit the peak of the sanctuary because of the large amount of psychic energy that can be absorbed from Ryan.

This was originally impossible, because since accepting the inheritance of the lake **** witch and the power of the fairies in the lake, the strength of the high-level Morgiana Sanctuary has basically been nailed to death, and it is impossible to break through.

But this is Ryan, a man who can make the impossible possible.

It's just that the process is a bit tiring... Lane thought so.

Walking into the cabin, Mo Gianna was clearly in a good mood. The witch of the lake **** was wearing a white tulle shirt and a pink hip-packed short skirt. Under the skirt were long flesh-colored pantyhose and a pair of cotton wool. Drag, wearing an apron on her chest, she put the last fried egg on the plate, then picked up the plate with one hand, and pressed down the skirt of the short skirt with one hand embarrassedly: "Lane, you are back. Ah, breakfast is ready."

Ryan couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. He took the plate from Morgiana's hand, helped her untie her apron, and pulled her to sit down together. The fairy in the lake still only ate some fruit as usual.

While eating breakfast, the two of them chatted about other things, the fairy in the lake looked at Morgiana leaning on Ryan to eat, and said a little unhappily: "Oh, by the way, about what you arranged before, that Jia Congresswoman Lan? The one called Catherine?"

"Well, yes." Ryan thought for a while: "But that thing passed?"

"The controversy is not small." The fairy in the lake nodded: "In the end, the knights and nobles saw such a great achievement in Karad, plus Surya's recognition and the fact that she had given birth to a child. Finally recognized her new identity."

The fairy in the lake was talking about Veronica's direct disciple Catherine. After Catherine was lucky enough to conceive and gave birth to a boy, Callard asked Ryan to make Catherine his countess.

This is a very troublesome thing. It is not without precedent that a witch becomes a noble lady, but this is really the first time in Brittany. Fortunately, it was finally solved~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Very good, but She won't be a countess any time soon. Ryan smiled and put down his fork: "She will be a marquise soon, and I have planned to wait until I return to my country to canonize Callard as the marshal of Brittany, and at the same time as the marquis of Garamente. "

Ryan is already planning to go back and continue the pace of centralization.

"There is a second thing. Emperor Karl Franz took this opportunity to send some Reik's guards to reorganize the army in the northern provinces of the empire, and at the same time establish Reik fortresses in some key towns." The fairy in the lake said. The second news came out: "At the same time, the emperor announced the system of Rick's standing army, and he was going to bring a small number of electors who were weak in control and suffered excessive losses to the imperial court to reorganize and establish a new guard army. He has direct control."

"Normal, the current situation in the empire is in turmoil, but the emperor's army has not suffered much loss. This is the best time to further strengthen centralization and establish a new army." Ryan nodded slightly: "It seems that Carl has learned from me. less."

Don't look at the current financial difficulties of Kahuang, Rickling now has a population of 6 million, and the entire country of Brittany has only more than 8 million people. With such a large population base and tax source, Kahuang wants to relax. Comes fast.

After the two things were finished, and the breakfast was finished, Ryan was about to say something while holding Morgiana in his arms, but the King of Knights immediately noticed that the fairy in the lake had gone to close the door of the cabin, and he quickly got up: "No! Lilith! Not now!"

"You can't say no, my champion! I believe in you, you can do it!" The fairy in the lake held Ryan, and the goddess smiled and said, "Morgiana, come, let's do it together!"

"Okay." Morgiana nodded shyly, she suddenly put her arm around Ryan's neck, blocking his mouth, preventing him from getting up.

"Well……"
