Perhaps it was because Jiang Xuan suddenly changed his mind about the Ocean Horse and wanted to show off his knowledge in front of the "Ocean Horse" in front of him.
He answered clearly and logically.
Speaking of squires, we have to mention knights again.
Because the squires in Britain are actually knights. Due to various historical reasons, the chivalry system began to decline. The chivalry system and centralization were inherently in conflict. The knight lord is too powerful and will only affect the centralization of power. When Ahmed served as Grand Vizier, it was because of the centralization of power that he aroused dissatisfaction with the Sipashi cavalry. Coupled with the development of the times, land ownership, management rights, etc. have become more complicated. At first, the land that supported the military needs of a knight was called a knight's territory. However, as time went by, each larger knight's territory became dispersed. Fragmentation.
As a result, the supply of knights became the biggest problem, and the knight's military status was also weakened. With more and more frequent wars, what people and the country need is a professional and efficient mercenary army, not knights. This is the biggest reason why Yenicherry prospered and Sipahi declined. Politically and economically, the conditions supporting the development of the cavalry system have all changed. This change is irreversible and a historical necessity. This also led to the relaxation of feudal relations and changes in the military system.
so.
In this regard, Hamid can use the knight system to fight against Ahmed, who is dominated by Yenicheri, in times of chaos.
But from a historical necessity, the chivalry system must be abolished and abandoned.
Otherwise, we are turning back history.
So where did Britain's declining knights go? That is their transformation into country squires.
The biggest difference between knights and squires is.
In the past, knights were required to perform military service. This was a hard condition and they had to lead troops to fight. So we can see in many medieval games, or in movies and TV series, those lords, who are wearing bull-head masks and have the most bizarre equipment, are also the most powerful in combat.
The squires they later transformed into did not need to perform military service. Although the status of knights has been replaced by mercenaries, their influence on the local area is still great, and they have an advantage in social status. Although the knights' territory is no longer complete, the land in their hands can be transferred more conveniently. As well as fast, this also satisfies some people to quickly annex land and become large households.
Then with the development of capitalism, the advent of the Age of Discovery, the enclosure movement, and the transition to commerce.
The squires came to be known as Britain's middle class, below the hereditary nobility but above the peasants. Then he gradually became involved in politics and became a local spokesperson.
Therefore, the rise of the British squires was a kind of self-correction and adjustment when the feudal system came to an end.
"this……"
Jiang Xuan explained the young master's theory.
Upon hearing this, Hamid suddenly became enlightened and his eyes lit up: "What does Liu Shilang mean... is it natural to transform these generals into country squires and establish a constitutional monarch?"
Jiang Xuan was a little surprised for a moment.
There is something about this Hamid.
That's right.
The emergence of the squires, their eagerness to participate in politics, and their increasingly powerful personal strength were a challenge to the royal power. It was their challenge that led to the emergence of various class forces and new aristocrats, and promoted the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in Britain.
He chuckled and said: "It's not us who change it, but let history change it..."
"ah?"
Hamid was a little confused.
Jiang Xuan smiled slightly and couldn't help but look at Alyssa who was also listening with great interest. Then he said calmly: "Adapting measures to local conditions is the best way. The complex situation of Osman is different from that of other countries. Mr. Sultan, Osman this time Chaos, I heard that Tsarist Russia is already intensifying its troops and watching with eager eyes... The third Russo-Turkish war is probably about to begin..."
Upon hearing this, Hamid was also worried.
Tsarist Russia was their biggest enemy at this time.
But he knows.
At this time, Ottoman could not withstand a war at all, so he temporarily decided to turn a blind eye to Tsarist Russia's provocation on the border.
Jiang Xuan laughed loudly: "How can you turn a blind eye? You want to see it, and you have to see it ruthlessly!"
"What?"
Hamid's face changed slightly.
Jiang Xuan nodded: "Only when the two armies meet, the Sultan will have the opportunity to gather all the Xipaxi in the country for his own use, and then form a branch belonging to the royal family..."
"New Cavalry!"
New cavalry!
These three words hit Hamid hard in his heart.
He suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan smiled slightly and did not stop him. Because he knew that this was Hamid's respect for the young master, not himself.
Hamid left in a hurry, Alyssa also glanced at Jiang Xuan and followed him.
Jiang Xuan looked at Alyssa's beautiful back and fell into deep thought.
"Hey, I'm telling you, I will never marry a Yangma in this life!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"This big ocean horse is really exciting!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
At this time, the boys around Jiang Xuan were all laughing.
Jiang Xuan shouted angrily: "You have nothing to do? Go out and buy things quickly!"
"Ah? Boss, are we really leaving?"
"Not staying any longer?"
"Time is not that tight..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Teasing, couldn't stop again.
Jiang Xuan rolled his eyes, ignored them, and slammed the door.
Not to mention...
This ocean horse is really quite exciting...
…
On the way back, Hamid was alternately thoughtful and excited.
Alyssa wanted to ask him about Jiang Xuan's situation several times, but in the end she didn't speak.
New cavalry...
New cavalry...
Hamid, the more I think about it, the more excited I get.
The idol is so awesome!
Although he was not in Osman, he analyzed the situation in Osman so thoroughly!
right!
This is the cavalry he wants!
Cavalry hired by the royal family, but not giving them much of the same power as Jenichery! A pure cavalry! A cavalry that does not participate in political struggles! A cavalry that is always loyal to the royal family and the people!
Tsarist Russia's army has begun to gather.
It seems that the third Russo-Turkish War is inevitable.
At this time, he had every reason to gather all the troops for his use.
Reform of the cavalry is imperative.
As for the constitutional monarchy…
Let’s look at the development of the new cavalry and the squires.
Everything follows history.
After thinking about this, Hamid looked at his sister playfully: "Alyssa, what do you think of this General Longyan?"
"ah?"
Alyssa blushed for the first time.
