Black Iron Crown

Reiner's hesitant appearance fell into everyone's eyes. Seeing that Reiner hadn't made up his mind, the vassals couldn't help but hesitate in their hearts whether to ask His Majesty to give up this idea.

"That's right, Your Majesty, we do need some elites under your command to help with training. With the help of your soldiers, we will get twice the result with half the effort!" Earl Corder also stood up and said to Reiner.

Although they are vassals, they are also close vassals. Through the decline and slack in the combat effectiveness of these vassals, Leiner deeply realized how unreliable these vassals are.

It is true that the enfeoffment system has stronger mobilization power than the centralized system, but there are too many uncertainties in comparison.

Rainer can't collect taxes from their territory, so he can change the laws at will in the territory.

It doesn't matter if it's just that, after all, the lords can provide themselves with troops.

But now, these lords have trained their troops to such an extent that Leiner feels that it is necessary to add some supervisory power to their army.

Not only can it ensure that they have enough combat power to help them fight, but it can also increase the influence of themselves, the Grand Duke of the North, in their army. This is one of Leiner's goals.

It is very necessary to exert influence among their army and let their army understand what the Grand Duke of the North is and what the Grand Duke has done.

Not to mention controlling their army, at least let them get close to him, and at the same time ensure a strong combat effectiveness. Leiner feels that if this goes on for less than two hundred years, the centralization of power may be completed.

For Reiner, two hundred years does not feel too long, because he understands the power in the hands of these lords and the resistance they will encounter in implementing a centralized system.

Planting a tree that he can't enjoy the shade for a moment is the true meaning of civilization and family. Reiner only understands this sentence now, and he regards this sentence as Gui Gao.

Although I can't accomplish such a great cause as centralization, at least I should lay the foundation first so that my children and grandchildren can have a good opportunity to develop.

Maybe the fifth or sixth grandson of Reiner has truly achieved the great goal of national unification and centralization of power.

The topic that Count Valas brought up was too scary, and Lena looked at Count Antal hesitantly, frowned and said: "Count Antal, what do you say about Count Cord and Count Valas? What do you think?"

The Earl of Antal was crying bitterly. He had already offended the other vassals once before about whether to enter the interstellar military exercise. This time, His Majesty the Grand Duke actually asked himself.

Is it something you can answer casually about getting involved in military power? If I help His Majesty the Grand Duke speak, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of most of the lords.

Being a minority among these people is not what the Earl of Antal wants. Once this happens, everyone will target him, and even his family will be unable to move forward.

Even though most of the lords in the Grand Duchy of the North are members of the Merland family, they have already been divided into small families. In fact, they are similar to ordinary noble families except for blood kinship.

However, if he directly stood up against Earl Corder's proposal, it might cause His Majesty the Grand Duke's dissatisfaction.

Although this proposal was not proposed by Reiner, the Earl of Antares understood that this was actually what he meant,

In addition to him, many people have seen this.

Under the dilemma, the Earl of Antal finally made a decision. He seemed to be discouraged and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I also agree with the proposal of Earl Valas and Earl Cod. Your army will join us." It will be like a tiger with wings!"

Earl Antal's words kept echoing in the meeting hall. The lords widened their eyes and looked at him with disbelief. No one thought that he would betray everyone including his own interests.

The Earl of Antal looked at the surprised and hateful eyes of these lords, and couldn't help but feel even more bitter in his heart. He could only silently pray in his heart that His Majesty would formally regard himself as a direct descendant this time, otherwise he would really be the inside and outside. People are offended on both sides.

Earl Princeton and Earl Jorral looked at each other, Earl Princeton nodded helplessly, and stood up together with Earl Jorral.

"We also agree with this proposal. Your Majesty, please select elite soldiers to join our army as soon as possible to help us recover our combat effectiveness. In addition, we will expand our army in the shortest possible time. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that these people said so, the rest of the lords did not dare to directly express their objections, so they could only agree with what they said.

Reiner loves each other no matter whether they are true or false, as long as he can put his hand into these lords is enough.

After these lords reached a consensus with Reiner with ugly faces, they left one after another, not leaving the meeting hall, but leaving Mecaron City in a hurry to return to their territory.

It should be to think about how to deal with Leiner, but Leiner feels that they are not his opponents, not to mention that his requirements are not high, and he does not intend to control the command of their army. He only needs a supervision and influence Will suffice.

With the war on the horizon, he didn't intend to cause internal conflicts. After he took down the imperial capital and put down the four fields, and put the supreme crown on his head, he would have a chance to deal with these matters.

So soon, Leiner began to select some people from the army to dispatch to the armies of various lords. Leiner selected more than 250 Merland sergeants from them. Their combat effectiveness is the strongest. If they are trained It can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the vassals' army.

Leiner would like to see their army become stronger. He is not worried about rebellion, but he is afraid that his own strength is not enough.

What's more, Leiner's own manpower, material and military strength are much stronger than these lords, and most of the steel in the northern border is in his hands.

In addition, the army under Leiner's command is strong because of the high-intensity training and tempering on the battlefield. These things can not be copied if they want to. The army will be pulled out for a clean counter-insurgency.

However, Reiner also warned these sergeants not to interfere too much in the internal affairs of the lords' army. They can only be responsible for training and publicizing the reputation of His Majesty the Grand Duke, other than that, they are not allowed to interfere in other things.

Leiner didn't want to start countering the rebellion before he became emperor. His purpose of doing this was not only to win over some military power, but also to let the troops of the vassals guarantee their combat effectiveness so that they could fight in future wars. play its due role.
