Egil's New Year's message, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die. A storm hung over the European continent. The princes of Europe hurriedly sent envoys again. Declare that he is willing to submit to Egil's arrangement and will. I don't want Egil to pick himself and be Liwei's target. And Egil followed suit. His second statement was released.

"Since the fall of the Roman Empire. The princes of Europa rose together, and the smoke continued. The Merovingian dynasty was short-lived, difficult both internally and externally, and insignificant. The Carolingian dynasty divided its subjects, and the division was serious and insignificant. By 500 years. The Norman Empire rises. I inherit the mandate of heaven and respond to the people. Creation of the Norman Empire, the Skadragrímsson dynasty. From the British Isles to Russia, it's all in my pocket. The nations are subjugated, and the four seas are quiet. I declare today that I am the Emperor of Europa. He is the suzerainty of the countries of Europa. The kings and dukes of the nations are all my servants. The kings of the nations, the people of the dukes, are my people. You must obey my commands and obey the laws of the Empire.

From this day on, without an order, I shall not mobilize vassals or directly subordinate troops, hire mercenaries without authorization, and poison living beings. Any dispute must be subject to our mediation. Nations are not allowed to join forces, form alliances, or conclude treaties with each other at will. Secret agreements must not be made in private. Once discovered, it must be held responsible.

From this day onwards, the following kingdoms shall not divide or expand their territories without permission. It is not allowed to inherit the territory of another country by marriage. The succession of the princes of the nations must be approved by me, otherwise it will be considered illegal.

From this day onwards, the border checkpoints should be removed. No taxes shall be collected from merchants. It makes the trade between nations unimpeded. A tax on goods was levied in accordance with the commercial laws of the Norman Empire. Miscellaneous taxes shall not be levied privately.

From this day onwards, I will send envoys to the Norman Empire to learn the etiquette system of the Norman Empire, the laws and regulations of the Norman Empire, and the political and military systems of the Norman Empire.

From this day onwards, Norman shall be the official language of the following countries. The Norman script is the official instrument.

From this day onwards, Norman coins shall be the official currency of the following countries.

From this day onwards, the following kingdoms shall send envoys to Krakow once every six months for an audience. Once every four years, the monarch visited Krakow in person.

From this day onwards, whenever I have a call-up, I should prepare soldiers, horses, grain, grass, and equipment to go out with me.

In this way, there are a total of eight articles, which completely treat the European countries as his vassals. A strict regime is prescribed. Ask them to withdraw from the customs checkpoint and use Norman script, coins and laws. And strict restrictions were imposed on the territory of the vassals. Deprived vassals of diplomatic rights. That's not a very harsh one. But it must be said that it is very strict, and almost all the feudal systems and feudal obligations that should exist are mentioned.

Of course, Egil won't just take and not give. After all, he wanted a solid rear, a group of supporters, and vassals who could send hundreds of thousands of troops to fight with him if necessary. It's not a bunch of white-eyed wolves who are grudgeful and ready to pounce on and bite when the Norman Empire is weak.

The Norman Empire, likewise, had obligations to its vassals. Egil also officially stated in his announcement:

I also know that there are strong and weak, rich and poor, among the nations of the European continent. There are quite contradictions between countries, and they are resolute within each country. As the co-lord of Europa, I should think about my ministers:

I promised that if one of my vassals fell into civil strife, I would send troops to help him maintain order.

I promise that if one of my vassals is overthrown by a mob or other nobleman in his domain, I will send troops to restore him. If a person dies in war, he will have an heir. If his son dies in war, he chooses to be supported by the closest branch of his kin's bloodline. If the relatives die. When the children of the nobility are innocent, they will change their heirs and inherit the decline as a righteous son, so that the inheritance will continue. ...,

I promise that when one of my vassals is poor, it will be caused by natural disasters or man-made disasters. When people are killed or injured, we should help.

I promise that when one of my vassals is confused and needs guidance, I will help him. When there is a problem that cannot be resolved, I should give him advice.

I promise that when one of my vassals is in trouble due to other difficulties, not mentioned above, I will provide him with all kinds of help I can.

These five, as Egil's guarantee, can be said to be precious. He ensured that the European kingdoms could develop steadily, and that the royal families and nobles of the European continent would no longer have to worry about rebellion at home or enemies abroad, and that Egil would ensure that their descendants would always hold the power of the country. It can be said that as long as Egil reigns for one day, then Egil's vassals will be able to reign for one day.

When Egil made the announcement, the European countries reacted mixedly. The strong complain and the weak are happy. But no country, either country, was completely unable to resist Egil's will. Known as 1009, the manuscript of the Norman Emperor's Proclamation, marked the final, formal formation of the feudal system centered on the Norman Empire and spread throughout Europe. Since then, Europe has entered a new era.

In addition to this manifesto, Egil also proclaimed two other small proclamations, which may be called supplementary documents, one addressed to the Holy See, which formally stipulated that the power of the Emperor, that is, Egil, was greater than that of the Pope. The pope was deprived of the right to appoint bishops of the European continent, and the papal territory was deprived of the privilege of collecting tithes and occupying land. and forbade the Holy See to collect tithes.

Egil declared to the Holy See: Since the day of Pepin's consecration, the Holy See has vainly proclaimed the Gospel of God, which is bright and sacred, but in fact it is a thief of men and prostitutes, and it is filthy. I should act in God's place today and reform the papal system. From this day forward, the Holy See will be detached from secular life and will exist purely as a religious denomination. They will have no land, no servants, no fine clothes and no food. They must study the doctrine intensively and pass the examination before they can call themselves servants of God. And by virtue of the examination qualification, you will receive the corresponding level of Shenglu.

The other proclamation was addressed to Venice. The Norman Emperor considered Venice's self-proclaimed republic to be an inappropriate act. After that, Venice should establish a special Dominion. The ruler of the Dominion is elected, with ruling power equivalent to that of the Doge of Venice, and is called the Chief Executive. The Chief Executive existed as a special vassal of the Norman Emperor. The Norman Emperor was required to perform the same duties as vassals of other nations.

At the same time, because of the peculiarities of Venice, Egil could not guarantee a specific family, as a feudal lord, to maintain the ruling power of Venice. It can only be guaranteed that when Venice is invaded by foreign enemies, Egil will send troops to the rescue.

After Egil issued this proclamation and sent an emissary to Venice, the Governor of Venice, Witt, obeyed Egil's orders without thinking at all. Change the name of the Republic of Venice to the District of Venice. and publicly swore allegiance to Egil. Although, this is not in keeping with the liberal traditions of Venice. But as merchants, the Venetians cleverly and tactfully ignored this - after all, the Norman army was stationed in southern Italy. And the other feudal countries will not be reluctant to send troops to show their loyalty, and by the way, make a small fortune in Venice.

In this way, the Declaration of 1009, as well as the Declaration of the Holy See and the Declaration of Venice, were adopted. The Norman Empire established its domination of Europe. However, there is one thing to note here - among the countries targeted by Egil, there are no three Iberian Spanish countries - León-Castil, Aragon and Portugal - that are still excluded from the mainstream European order. Even if they went up to the pole and begged Egil to take them as their younger brothers, Egil didn't want them. ...,

Because at this time, it was the time when the three Spanish countries were in great war with the Sultanate of Moldova. If they were included as vassals, then according to Egil's promise above, the Norman Empire would have to mobilize to fight against a new Muslim power for the sake of those bastards. And again, in Spain, thousands of kilometers away from Eastern Europe. It takes a year or two to come and go. I'm afraid that Egil will fight with the Moors in front, and the Mongol army will come and kick his lair.

For the sake of a few foreign ministers in the frontier lands, he left his foundation behind, and Egil is not a fool. So for the time being, let them fend for themselves. Egil was also not afraid that the Moors would become big there. The Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet are quite capable of blocking their advance from the sea. And if they wanted to march by land, they would have to cross the precipitous Pyrenees. It's not an easy thing to do. As long as Egil sent a small army to seal the Pyrenees Pass, he would be foolproof.

In this way, in the first month of 1009, Egil was busy with this matter. Counsel with his vassals, counsel with the vassals' messengers, and deliver messages. Coercion and inducement...... At other times, she had to be dragged by Ou Ruo to the Royal Council to help her with official business. Engil was so busy all day long that he couldn't touch the ground. It made Egil feel that he didn't know what was going on, and that he was at home, as if he was more tired than when he was out on the road.

So, on this evening, after a busy day and dinner, Egil finally had a little free time of his own, and the man who now held the authority of the nations of the continent began to think about what kind of fun he was going to have tonight.

"One last bit of time...... Well, speaking of which, I haven't been to Joan of Arc for more than two weeks. According to Maria, Joan of Arc has been a little listless lately. It must be because I haven't seen me for a long time......" (To be continued.)
