After that, Egil breathed a sigh of relief, and calculated again, before he established the political axe system, his monthly income was more than 200,000, and now he has established a political axe system, with a monthly income of nearly 400,000, but it is necessary to subtract the reform fee of paying 80,000 gold coins for five consecutive months. In this way, he can still have an income of more than 300,000 yuan. It's still earned inside and out...... Moreover, with the unification of weights and measures and writing, the Norman kingdom would accelerate its national integration. The Vikings, the Saxons, the Scandinavian Vikings, the Prussians, the French in the Duchy of Normandy, to which England belonged, would gradually merge into a new people, the Normans.

Of course, it takes a process, an extremely slow process, decades, centuries or even millennia. And it doesn't always work. Most of Egil's front foot soldiers were defeated and died, and the back foot empire fell apart, so everyone should do what to do.

Therefore, people must not die, and they must not die. Egil is absolutely forgivable for being so afraid of death. In fact, he can stand on the battlefield and give orders extremely calmly and quickly, without being frightened by those messy and bizarre corpses, which has surpassed the vast majority of people. Not to mention.

He's been winning.

That's enough.

The handling of internal affairs has once again come to an end. In May, after more than a month of rest and replenishment, Egil's army swelled again to an impressive level.

The feudal mobilization order for military reform and the mobilization order for militia reserves in various localities were introduced. Egil officially canonized a large number of nobles in his domain, including forty-six counts, one hundred and fifty-seven viscounts, and four hundred and nine barons, and after measuring their territory, gave the number of military service they were to bear. Egir was able to command more than 30,000 nobles under his rule by order of the king and official documents stamped with heraldic designs.

The system of reserve mobilization was carried out in Egil's own domains: five cities in England, including Normandy Castle in the Duchy of Normandy, and six cities in Scandinavia, including Sealand in Denmark, and Visby in Gotland. Prussia, the five cities of Livonia. Centered on these sixteen cities, or castles, the nearly eight million people under Egil's rule were all included in the reserve mobilization system. In the off-season, they will be organized by the local magistrate for simple military training, and in battle, they will answer the call to join the war as a conscription.

However, there is one thing to be said here - Egil's mobilization order did not include the two territories controlled by the Celts, the Welsh Dominion centered on Canafon and the Irish Dominion centered on Dublin. A different system was in place here, and the Celtic allegiance in these places was still Artoria, and the impression of Egil remained the same: respectful, the Queen's marriage partner. Nothing more. Egir believed that if he died, or if Artoria died, the Celtic region would revolt!Unless Artoria had an heir with him, this seemed unlikely......

On this day, Egil slipped away a little while in the office of the Royal Majesty Council, and then pulled Aurora to ask if there were any drugs for infertility in the system. As a result, Aurora replied, "Yes." Before Egil could be pleased, Aurora said, "But your wife is not suffering from that disease—she was cut off in the lower abdomen when she was leading the army into battle, and there is no medicine to cure it." ”

So Egil suffered for several days.

In addition, there is another region, Iceland centered on Krejavik, which is still nominally a fief of Aurora. In addition, the distance is too far and the population is not large, so it also escaped by luck and does not need to undertake military service.

According to the systematic calculation, the population of the entire Norman kingdom is more than 7 million, of which 1.2 million are in the prime of life, although it is not much, but it is not small. However, there are more than 100,000 of them in the hands of the big and small nobles of the kingdom, and less than two million can be mobilized by Egil.

These two million people are not mobilized just by saying that they are mobilized. The mobilization was divided into three steps: initial mobilization, that is, the mobilization of troops without affecting agriculture and economic development as much as possible, and all soldiers in the prime of life who could be mobilized were no more than 40 years old. However, the total number will not exceed 150,000.

Mass mobilization: Usually used in the context of a general decisive battle against a powerful enemy, to mobilize as many soldiers under the age of 50 and over as 16 as possible while barely taking care of farming. The army that can be mobilized in this way is around 300,000.

All mobilization: the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species are close at hand - all Norman compatriots stand up and speak!

It's literal. It can mobilize an army of about half a million.

After completing the reserve system, Egil has a lot of confidence. The English garrison and the Norman garrison were all recruited, so the nobles in France should be a little more restrained. The Duke of Brittany, Alang IV, was a little better, after all, he also belonged to the kind of Grand Duke who didn't like the king of France, and seemed to think that Egil could be an ally or something, so the western territory of the Duchy of Normandy was quite stable.

-- But on the south side, in the Île-de-France region directly under King Philip II of France, and on the east side, Charles the Bold in Burgundy went a little too far, and it was not uncommon to send people to the Duchy of Normandy every now and then to make trouble, secretly move boundary monuments or seize water sources, steal cattle and so on, and there were even rumors in the French court that Egir was not a French nobleman in the first place, and should not occupy French territory. If he wants to occupy French territory, he will bow down to Philip II--I'll go to your sister's! You can't even fiddle with your own nobles, so you want to attack me?! Labor and management are also overlords, and they also have a Norman iron crown on their heads, and the king is working and bowing down to you?

This was Egil's response - when Philip II wrote a few months ago asking Egil if he could "do something for your king", Egil replied directly, not explicitly, but with the following meaning: Don't mess with me.

Tensions between the Norman kingdom and the Kingdom of France can be imagined.

However, Egil didn't care, now Egil was arrogant, and he was no longer the little lord who had a thousand or hundreds of men under his hands. The territory is bigger, and there are more horses under him. A total of five garrison corps, plus the main legion, for a total of seventy-five thousand troops. Sweeping the continent is a bit exaggerated. But bullying and bullying France, which is full of princes, is not something that can be easily captured.

In terms of the army, Egil resolutely implemented the political system of the Song Dynasty, and the central forbidden army was expanded again, and the original army of a little more than 30,000 has now expanded to more than 50,000:

Heavy Cavalry:

The Knight Guard, one hundred and fifty, unchanged

The Norman royal knights, reorganized, expanded, recruited, restored and increased to eight hundred

After a second refinement, these heavy cavalry abandoned the traditional battle axes and switched to sabers and maces as melee weapons, with sabers against lightly armed units and maces against heavy troops, with a clear division of labor. At the same time, chain mail for horses was also added to their horses, further enhancing their defense. These Norman heavy cavalry were professional troops, although they were much weaker than the royal knights. But the advantage is that the number is large, and the cost is also small. Egir increased the number of Norman heavy cavalry to two thousand in one fell swoop.

Field Order: 500, unchanged.

Calculated in this way, Egil had a total of 3,450 hoplites under his command.

Light Cavalry: There is only one type of professional hussar so far, but Egil doesn't think he needs any more. Two thousand four hundred professional hussars.

In total, Egil had 5,850 cavalry.

Infantry, the backbone of the army, professional Viking warriors, twenty-four thousand.

Viking Death Raid Warriors, Seven Thousand.

Dwarven Chamber Guards, Four Thousand.

In total, Egil had 35,000 infantry under his command.

Ranged Troops: Crossbowmen, 3,000, Longbowmen, 5,000, Sherwood Marksman 500, for a total of 8,500 ranged troops.

In total, Egil's army -- a professional army! not an improvisational army! a total of 49,000 troops and nearly 50,000 troops! Such a force was enough to make Egil one of the great powers of the European continent, and the perfect reserve system, excellent central government, and good financial situation...... Taken together, these conditions were enough for Egil to sustain an army that was not inferior to that of any European power. And this is the reason why Egil was able to be complacent, watching the hegemony of the European continent, and even the greatest reliance on the throne of the supreme king.

Of course, while it is welcome to maintain an extremely strong army, Egil is even more proud of the fact that he has a powerful navy that is unique in northern Europe. A total of 7,000 elite Vikings were armed with 150 standard-modified Ballista warships, and 50 newly built ships equipped with three ballistae and building structures, and 500 medium transports large enough to transport more than 20,000 troops at a time. If necessary, more than 800 large merchant ships can be called up on an ad hoc basis.

Such a formidably powerful fleet is enough to run rampant in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. It is a well-deserved sea power -- today's Great Britain in Europe is about to die, and Spain and Portugal are still in the shadows. The Dutch sea coachman was not even able to read. There were only four nations that could compete with the Norman navy: two of them, Venice, and Genia, which was founded on commerce and trade. The navy is strong, but the army is a hard wound, and the range of activities is the Mediterranean line, so there is no need to worry. And there are two more, one is the Eastern Romans, the most powerful country in the traditional sense of the European continent, the Greek fireships, and the giant galleys are rampant in the Mediterranean, and the other is not a country in the broad sense, but an alliance.
