"Archduke Bakr, let me tell me about the main problems of this council. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

A bland expression, a pair of indifferent eyes. King Arthur, with his head held high in pride, looked at his ministers as condescendingly as her prestige.

Under King Arthur's oppressive scrutiny, the nobles' guards gathered their weapons and retreated respectfully.

The Gawain knights were also reluctant to continue to oppose the king who had sworn allegiance to him. So even though it was without Backer's orders, Gawain still took the lead in ordering all the original Knights of the Round Table...... No, now they should be called the noble knights of Great Britain to withdraw their weapons and retreat back to their positions.

King Arthur choked slightly, his pale green eyes watching all this.

The scene in front of him was obviously a clear signal to Archduke Bakker.

King Arthur proclaimed one more thing to Bakr.

That is, Wang Wei is still there!

Perhaps Buckle controls the country's finances, or perhaps Buckle has the support of four-fifths of the country's nobility, or perhaps Buckle is really capable of taking the helm of Great Britain in his place. However, this was all based on the premise that she was willingly surrendered by Arthur King Artoria Pendragon.

As long as King Arthur herself did not bow her head for a day, her prestige and the army in her hands were enough to deter some ill-intentioned people. This naturally includes him, the man who controls a third of the lifeblood of the country...... Grand Duke Buckle Kagome.

Buckle glanced behind him with an expressionless face.

When the retreating noble knights and sword-wielding guards saw Backer's expression, they immediately lowered their heads unnaturally. Obviously, he was unhappy with the start that cost Bakker a lot before it even started.

[A bunch of waste.] Although Archduke Bakel did not say it on the spot, his eyes already revealed his thoughts. Bakr won't do anything here, but he will be punished when he returns.

"My king, there are three main topics on the agenda of this meeting of nobles. ”

Although he lost some face in the first place, Bakker quickly regained his strength and prepared to fight back.

"What about the three points?" asked King Arthur, with his head held high.

"First, concerning the re-recruitment and reorganization of the army of Great Britain, and the increase in the number and jurisdiction of the nobility in various places. Buckle said with a smile on his face.

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden uproar in the entire palace.

The eyes of the many nobles widened and their faces were in disbelief.

This kind of statement, this kind of topic, is already equivalent to directly interfering in the military problems of Great Britain. It was also about the recruitment and reorganization of the army and the expansion of the number and jurisdiction of the nobility in various places. Fundamentally speaking, this is a declaration of self-respect and intention to stand on its own.

Many nobles shouted in surprise on the spot, and they all spoke out to advise Archduke Bakr not to mess around...... If this matter is too big, it can be regarded as your treason! When King Arthur really wants to kill you, even if the people in this hall go together, they won't be able to protect you.

However, compared to the frightened pale nobles around him, the calm expression on the face of the Grand Duke of Buckle stood out extraordinarily.

With a confident face, Buckle quietly watched the man on the throne.

Just as the people on the throne at this time stared at him with extremely cold eyes.

"- Archarch Bakir, do you want to get involved in the realm of the king's tyranny?"

"No, I'm just thinking about the Kingdom of Great Britain. Therefore, I voluntarily set aside some financial resources to support the military development of our country, and I myself did not have any intention of blaspheming the king. ”

"Oh, how are you going to support it?" King Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly, and his right hand pressed the grip to hide the anger in his heart. But even so, King Arthur struggled to maintain his majesty, asking in a cold voice.

Hooked. Grand Duke Bakker grinned, he was waiting for this stage where he could perfectly interpret his ideas. And to say it thoroughly in front of many nobles in the country, so that those foolish idiots realize how right it is to follow themselves. At the same time, the feasibility rate of this thing is definitely beyond their understanding.

"Allow your ministers, then, to transgress their authority and explain their thoughts to the king and to all your fellow citizens here. ”

Archduke Bakr asked King Arthur for instructions.

The king agreed. ”

Wang nodded expressionlessly.

After appeasing the two knights, Lancelot and Bedwell, who were already in a bit of a riot, King Arthur's mind was now on Bakkel, and he kept wondering what the old guy was up to.

Buckle is not as arrogant as Char because he has an over-the-ordinary vision, he is more stable, deeper and more insidious than Char. His patience and perseverance beyond the ordinary, combined with his large family power and strong financial resources, allowed Bakr to rise to power as early as the time of King Uther.

So once this kind of person decides what he has done and makes what he is going to do public, it is definitely because the time is ripe. And he must be 100 percent sure that he will do so.

Things are starting to get trickier. King Arthur looked at Buckle's confident and arrogant face, and she felt a faint sense of unease in her heart more and more. It was as if some great storm was coming, and it was a storm that would change the history of the entire Kingdom of Great Britain forever.

Buckle turned to face the more than two hundred nobles behind him, and for the first time he spoke his plan.

"Fellow citizens of Great Britain, you nobles with noble blood in your veins. Do you remember the last time you were deeply proud and satisfied with this country?!"

"In the past, our country was just a wasteland before it was born. The Romans came to help us build the palace and the city, which was later carried forward by our founding king, King Uther, and officially proclaimed the Duchy of Great Britain a kingdom seventy-six years ago. My grandfather was honored to be one of the founding ministers, and he was also the first Grand Duke Kagome. ”

"At that time, we had the unparalleled Ming Emperor Youser, the sage Merlin who had no previous wisdom and wisdom, and many noble ancestors who fought with the willingness to give up everything for the sake of this country. And I believe that most of the nobles present are the backs of those ancestors. Of course, the noble blood that flows in our bodies is enough to prove it. ”

"But the dream of prosperity has been shattered, and the dark ages have come. ”

The sound was loud and deafening.

Duke Backer's voice echoed throughout the hall, attracting everyone's attention. He first used the noble blood and identity inheritance of the nobles to attract the sense of identity of the nobles, and then the topic suddenly changed - after the previous foreshadowing, this went straight to the point.

"Since then, our Kingdom of Great Britain has become the most war-torn country in the British Isles. The era of the Sixteen Duchyes is over, and the deeds of the wise King Uther will live on! But the end of the old era does not mean that a bright future will come. The end of the Sixteen Duchy era also opened the door to a new Dark Age. ”

Ireland and Wales formed the Kingdom of Æthelanka, with a population of 690,000 men, more than 70,000 troops, and more than 1,000 heavy cavalry. It is our strongest enemy to the west of the Kingdom of Great Britain. But the good news is that the kingdom of Ethranca and the damned kingdom of Scotland are bitter rivals, and they will not do anything against us until the winner is decided. ”

"But, even so, we can't be careless!!"

The sudden increase in the tone startled everyone!

"The kingdom of Ethranca is more than three times the size of our kingdom of Great Britain, and the difference in the number of its armies is more than fifty thousand! The Kingdom of Scotland is truly the strongest in England. It has a population of 930,000 and an army of more than 60,000 troops. In other words, in an ordinary state, the Kingdom of Scotland has more than 200,000 militias that can be mobilized!

"But that's not the main problem. The most important thing is that there are a number of small principalities around Great Britain, and although they range in number from 30,000 to 70,000, two of them are large principalities with populations of more than 150,000. That is the Duchy of Ryanz, the Duchy of Maukuand, which borders our British territory!"

"The Duchy of Ryan has a population of 130,000 men and an army of 50,000, and has sufficient funds to maintain a large army because of its dependence on maritime trade. Most of them are miscellaneous soldiers, but their army is far larger than our Britons!"

"The Duchy of Maukuand, a veritable cavalry kingdom, has more horses than the entire Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of Ethranca combined. Fortunately, however, most of the people in the Duchy of Mücquand have a good opinion of us as Britons, and our thirty years of friendship have left us without worrying about the virtuous king, who will draw his sword against us. ”

..............................

"So what do you want to say about all this information about other countries?" asked Lancelot, with a displeased expression.

"Hmm, isn't what I'm trying to say clear enough?"

Duke Bakker said.

"What I want to say is that Great Britain is so fragile right now, and we have to do a much larger conscription, to expand the army, and then to strengthen the defense of our country. Then we will accumulate our military strength and prepare to sweep the surrounding principalities. ”

Bakr continued: "I think we need to raise the number of troops to at least 30,000 and the elite troops to 6,000. Of course, the current treasury of Great Britain simply cannot support such a large number of conscripts. So here I would like to recommend a new decree to the king. ”

Squinting slightly, everyone felt it at this moment.

Here's the big thing!

The bunch of nonsense in Balala before was actually preparing for this moment. And apparently Bakr has been preparing for this moment for too long, and even spent a lot of money to investigate the intelligence of the surrounding countries, and it seems that he should have been preparing for more than a day or two.

"Archduke Bakir speaks and listens. At this time, the curiosity of the surrounding nobles was also aroused, and they coaxed the Grand Duke of Bakr to hurry up.

And Grand Duke Bakir apparently pushed the boat along the lines and told his plan.

"My opinion is that an edict be issued in the name of the king to all the nobles, allowing the nobles to recruit troops at their own expense in the name of defending the Kingdom of Great Britain. Allow them to defend themselves against invaders in the name of their kingdom, while giving them the possibility to own the spoils of war. Of course, they also had to pay some taxes, which were paid to the kingdom at the rate of ten percent of the price of the booty. ”

"At the same time, we should relax the restrictions on the authority of some nobles. In addition to the freedom to recruit soldiers, the local nobles also needed to maintain at least fifty to one hundred troops on a daily basis, or fifteen to twenty elite troops, or three to five elite knights. However, considering the disparity in status between nobles, we can limit or relax the number of people according to the rank of the title. ”

"In this way, we will no longer need to use the old conscription system, and only go to the fields of various territories to catch strong men when it is time for battle. Not only is that inefficient, but it also costs too much time and money. If we follow my plan, we only need to gather the nobles everywhere when necessary, and then the nobles can immediately set off with their standing armies, and we can organize an army of more than 5,000 men in a short time, which is much faster than spending a week or two in a row to call people around. ”

..............................

As soon as this remark came out, most people's eyes lit up.

The aristocracy was even more keenly aware of the smell of money and freedom.

And King Arthur was also slightly stunned when she heard this, and she subconsciously made eye contact with the Knights of the Round Table behind her. Apparently everyone was a little surprised at how brilliant the plan was.

Indeed, if this method is promulgated and popularized, the burden on the state can be greatly reduced, and at the same time, the country's strength and defense level can be greatly improved.
