"Inform the god of Akame City and give the kingdom's 'request', either to stop Prince Feather from moving westward...or to give the kingdom another reason to conquer Akame City..." Shulot made Decision, Eckart, the captain of the guard, wrote it down.
Then the king used his seal, and the formal king's order was issued. Elaine, the clerk, sat in the corner and copied a copy of the decree issued by the king as a record.
The centralized power of the kingdom allows the royal government to be communicated efficiently. There are no complicated rules and regulations. The rise or fall depends on
"people".
"Master, the Prepecha people are different from the wilderness dog descendants. They are based on farming and live in villages with sufficient water sources. In the entire Chapala Lake area, there are 200,000 to 300,000 Prepecha people who will never follow the feathers. Prince Peng Guali, all moved. And even if one hundred thousand people move, it will not be easy to find a new settlement with lush water and grass suitable for planting in the west!" Eckart, the captain of the guard, thought for a moment and said calmly. view.
"Even though Prince Feather has shown signs of migrating westward, he won't be able to move too many tribes or move very far within a year or two. There are already Tekos in all the fertile lake valleys west of Lake Chapala. Occupied by human tribes. When the Chapala tribes moved westward, they would bear the brunt of fighting with these Tekos tribes... His struggle was just a pioneer of the king!" Hearing this, Shulot smiled slightly Nod.
His gaze stayed on Lake Chapala for a moment, and then moved to the undulating Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains to the west of the lake.
Heading west along the meandering Leman River, and another six hundred miles, you will reach the east side of the Pacific Ocean, the outlet of Trois-Rivières.
The outlet of the Leman River is a full 1,300 miles further north than the outlet of the Talsas River in the south of the kingdom!
"If we occupy this port and completely open up the lower reaches of the Leman River, the management of the northern continent will suddenly speed up! And the struvite, coal mines, copper mines, gold mines... on the northern west coast will be more convenient The shipment arrived south!..."
"Well, two months ago, the exploration fleet to the far north sent back the latest report. The large Yorem tribe on the west coast has been controlled by the kingdom and has taken a blood oath to convert to the main god. It produces copper, coal, and gold mines The large tribe of Yoremu was renamed Leijin Town, becoming the Kingdom's first large town in the north. The wilderness missionary priest, the songbird Quekator, requested from the kingdom to establish the Northern Territory in Leijin Town. The first diocese in the world!..."
"I have approved this request and promoted Songbird to the third-level chief priest, in charge of all religious affairs on the west coast of the Northland, and allowed the establishment of religious sect armed forces... A new batch of preaching priests and kingdom craftsmen have already taken a boat to the Northland. The Leijin Town Association established a bronze smelting house, produced bronze weapons and tools on site, and began to build a small temple, becoming the center of missionary work in the North..." Thinking of this, Shulot rubbed his eyebrows again.
he feels like
The "greedy" monkey stretched out its claws to the east and west coasts at the same time, grabbing the fruits on the vast land and refusing to let go.
"I want them all on the east and west coasts, the northern wasteland, and the Cuban Snake Island!... Is this too greedy?... And the governance of these distant places can only be fully let go and rely on the various main god priests, legion commanders, The autonomous decision of the ruling county governor... is like the tribal alliance of the Great Khan of the Prairie..." Shulot pondered for a long time, and his mind became clearer and clearer.
With the current communication speed of the kingdom, the governors in various places must be completely delegated power, which is actually equivalent to delegation.
"Governor". He also clearly understood that he could not stay in the seaside land for too long. He wanted to sort out all the seaside ministries as soon as possible and establish an organization that could carry power and manage on his behalf.
"Governor's Palace on the Seaside". Various thoughts flashed in the king's mind. He looked serious and spoke in a deep voice, but his words turned to the north of the kingdom.
"Since Prince Feather has moved west, the conquest of the land of Chapala must be completely put on the agenda before I can lead my army back! Ekart, draft a formal royal order for me and issue it to me at the same time. Yin Orosh in Gyeonggi County, Yin Kuluka in Hakou County, and Yin Ezpan in Apa County.”
"Yes, head of the family!"
"King's order, after this year's autumn harvest, Hekou and Apa counties will each dispatch 8,000 official legions and recruit flag militia of the same size to attack the land of Chapala! And the Gyeonggi Legion will dispatch 3,000 people to attack the city. The artillery, and brought along Horta, the head of the Sky Family, to recruit and surrender the Chapala tribes. In this expedition, Orosh is the main leader, taking charge of the overall situation, with Kuluka and Ezpan as deputy, taking charge of the north and south routes."
"This expedition is a divine war witnessed by the Lord God, and it is the official Western Expedition! The purpose of the divine war is to completely conquer the Chapala Lake area, control more than 200,000 Prepecha tribesmen, and convert them all! For The old nobles of Prepecha in the conquered areas must be cleaned up very carefully, deprived of their fiefs and subjects, and established villages directly under the kingdom. The priests of the three gods must also be carefully screened and identified, and the senior priests shall severely punish them. Sacrifice, absorb and transform low-level priests..." Shulot's voice was steady and powerful, but in Ekart's ears, it seemed to be filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Clean carefully, punish and sacrifice severely..." Eckart, the captain of the guard, pursed his lips and scrupulously wrote down the king's order.
Later, the clerk Elaine copied three copies in sequence as the official royal order for each county Yin.
"The North and the South, after occupying the Chapala Lake area, established Dahu County, and the county governor was..." The Chapala Lake area has been conquered repeatedly, and it has long been like a cactus fruit with its thorny skin peeled off, leaving only the last bite of delicious food. .
Therefore, Shulot was confident and had no doubts about the victory in the conquest of Lake Chapala. But when it came to selecting the new county governor after conquering the Lake District, Shulot was hesitant for a while.
There is no doubt that the Lake Chapala area will not be enfeoffed, but must be placed under direct jurisdiction. And this also means clearing out the old nobles in various ministries, setting up villages and towns, and dividing the management into parishes.
It's just that the Chapala Lake area is far away from the royal capital, so the county governor's independent power will be higher.
"You must be able to govern the place and deal with the ministries of Tekos and Prepecha, and you must also be loyal to the kingdom..." Shulot frowned and pondered for a long time, but never made a decision.
He thought for a while, looked at the captain of the guard, Ekart, and asked in a deep voice.
"Ekart, who do you think would be more appropriate to manage the Chapala Lake area?" Upon hearing such a question, the guard captain Ekart looked stern.
This proposal to determine local ownership is of great importance. He had to be cautious and rarely spoke.
"Master, the various tribes in the Chapala Lake area are intertwined, and the situation is complicated. After capturing this place, we will face the Guamar people in the north and the Tecos people in the west... Loyal generals who control the legions must be in charge!" Ecate, the captain of the guard, said That's all, I bowed my head and didn't dare to say anything.
Shulot raised his brows, his face thoughtful.
"The generals who control the legion? Guards, Gyeonggi, Lithospermum, Long Spear One, Long Spear Two, Guakili, Long Snake... Among the legion commanders in the kingdom, those who are not yet in charge of one side, or who are on an expedition, there are only... "
"The commander of the Long Snake Legion, a general from a family warrior, Hervé!..." Thinking of this, Shulot looked sharply at the captain of the guard, Ekart.
"Master of the family, the family warriors have served the Holy City for generations, and their loyalty to you can be seen from the Lord!" Ekart, the captain of the guard, stood respectfully, with a sincere calmness on his face.
He and Elvi were indeed both family warriors from a branch of the Holy City, and they knew each other well. But he is also convinced that the other party is as loyal as himself and can die for the head of the family!
"Well, I can trust your loyalty!" Shulot watched for a moment and nodded slowly. Then, he made a decision and issued a royal decree.
"The king ordered us to set out from Apa County to conquer the Chapala Lake area. The main force is the Long Snake Legion! Legion Commander Elvi presides over the local military affairs, spreads the faith of the Lord God, and takes charge of the captured Chapala land!"
"I obey you! Master!" Eckart, the captain of the guard, knelt down on one knee and saluted. Xiulote looked calm and watched as the guards in the tent prepared the royal order and printed the jade seal with his own hands.
Then, he stood up, looked at the setting sun in the west, and smiled lightly.
"Let's go! Today's government affairs are temporarily finished. It's getting late, so let's go and take a look at the gifts from the Jinwan tribe..."
