The Shang Alliance has a very clear understanding of the situation of the troops in the Xueman region, and even learned about the change of ownership of Ivas City for the first time, but they don't know about the existence of silver mines and mythril. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As for the Sardinian Lord, they have even more information: many nobles in the Sardinian Collar are not convinced by Riya's face, Ria currently has limited troops, and Riya's financial situation is very tight, and they are all aware of these situations.

The high-level of the Shang Alliance judged that it was impossible for the Imperial Southern Theater to send too many troops to participate in the battle for the Gloya region this time, not only because the Imperial Southern Military Region was insufficient, but also because the Sardinia Territory, as the main force of the Imperial Southern Military Region, still had great internal hidden dangers.

Moreover, the support of the imperial center for the southern theater of operations is also extremely limited, and this situation is mainly due to the butterfly effect of Yun Xiaohan.

Because Sardin led this big cake and did not bring other nobles of the empire, those big nobles and even many royal families did not agree to give aid to the southern theater of operations, hoping to force Lia to cede part of the benefits through this means, under this aristocratic system, the emperor is just a super nobleman, it is impossible for him to forcibly support Ria against the will of the people, not to mention that the war between the empire and the northern country is still raging, so for a period of time, the southern theater of the empire has been a corner against a country.

In fact, there is no shortage of soldiers in the Sardinia and Xueman areas, even if you can't get 200,000, 150,000 can be made.

But this war has been fought for more than half a year (3:1 game time), although the snowy area and Sardinia have not been destroyed by the war, but the vast majority of the territorial soldiers are not professional soldiers who are separated from soldiers and peasants, they still have to engage in production and farming, and the negative impact of such a long war on the territorial economy is still very great.

At this time, the Sardinian and Xueman regions were relatively financially tight, and although there were still a lot of grain reserves, there were not so many that that were really directly in the hands of Leah and Count Barguf, and most of the grain was in the hands of nobles at all levels.

Although it was possible to force the lords to bring their own food to fight, this meant that these lords could reduce the number of troops and pay some compensation after the war. With the current financial and material situation of Leah and Count Barguf, they can no longer fight a large-scale war. Moreover, this kind of forced conscription cannot be carried out continuously in a short period of time, and will incur the dissatisfaction of the lower lords or vassals.

What's more, Count Barguf has just removed the lord of Ivas City and handed over Ivas City to Yun Xiaohan, which makes the lords of the Snowman region quite dissatisfied, and in the case of internal instability, it is impossible for him to carry out forced recruitment.

And Leah's situation is even worse, she has only completed the pacification of the various lords of the Sardinia Lord, and she has not yet had time to carry out the unification work, so she does not dare to act rashly. Not to mention forced conscription, even the order for the lower lords to send troops cannot be easily given, once these lower lords think that Leah is trying to kill people with a knife, and collude to collectively resist the order, the foundation of her rule in the Sardinia domain will be shaken.

There is a distinction between a lower lord and a vassal, and a vassal is canonized by the nobles themselves, or by the hereditary canonization of previous generations of nobles. After the death or voluntary abdication of the previous vassal, the next vassal still has to accept the re-canonization of the vassal when inheriting the title, so that the relationship between the vassal and the vassal can be officially recognized.

After serving his vassal lineage for 50 years (50 years is a more conventional period, usually two to three generations, many minor nobles do not have a long lifespan, depending on the number of years of the oath when swearing allegiance, it may be shorter or longer), it is regarded as having fulfilled its vassal obligations and can actively seek to break away from the current vassal-vassal relationship. They can swear allegiance to the higher nobility, become vassals of the royal family, or even seek to become independent nobles in that faction.

However, because this kind of independent nobility is not protected and canonized by the feudal lord, it will not only be easily attacked by other lords, but will also be reduced by one rank when it is passed on to the next generation.

Paying inheritance tax is also considered a contribution to the country, but this inheritance tax is linked to the size of the title and territory, and the amount is often relatively large, and this inheritance tax is not handed over to the royal family, but directly to the noble council (an organization that manages the inheritance of the nobility), and then a small part of the funds are used to maintain the noble council, and most of them go to the treasury and can be used in the national war.

In addition, there are two situations in which a vassal can break away from the vassal without being spurned and rejected by the entire aristocratic class: one is that the vassal has made great contributions but has not received the corresponding reward; The other is that the feudal monarch takes the initiative to dissolve the feudal monarch-vassal relationship.

A subordinate liege, on the other hand, is a situation in which a nobleman is geographically under the jurisdiction of a noble, but is not a direct vassal of that noble.

Take the Duchy of Sardinia as an example, when the Duchy of Sardinia was officially established, there were many nobles in the Duchy of Sardinia who were independent nobles, and they were only united to protect themselves and obtain greater benefits.

Coupled with those nobles who voluntarily broke away from the feudal monarch-vassal system, under the command of a great nobleman with a long heritage, the number of subordinate lords is often much more than that of vassals.

Of course, many of these lower-level lords will take the initiative to pledge allegiance to the great nobles, form a feudal and vassal relationship, and seek more rewards or fiefs for the family.

Therefore, in the eyes of the great nobles in the Council of the Merchant Alliance, there is no suspense in this regional war, and the victory must belong to the Merchant Alliance, so the Marquis of Nkuru will spend a lot of money to operate, making himself the commander-in-chief of this campaign, the purpose is to gild himself with a layer of gold, so as to seek a higher position in the Merchant Alliance in the future.

This plot routine was originally intended to be cheap to Napoleon, and in the face of such an incompetent commander, Napoleon could hold the city of Gloa, and establish his position in the empire with a difficult battle to defend the city.

After all, Napoleon's forces in his hands are seriously insufficient, and they are defending the city, at most, they are only holding the city of Gloa, it is impossible for the merchant alliance to have large casualties, and it is impossible to counterattack the Marset area, so even if the merchant alliance is defeated, it will not suffer too much, and the two camps can still maintain a relative balance of power.
