Roman Empire of Total War - Chapter 1795

After several bargainings by Eisenstein, the Holy See gave the Cartgat Kingdom the conditions for sending troops, in addition to 250,000 sets of weapons and equipment and enough grain and supplies for five million people a year, it also added an additional value of 100 million yuan. Various civilian materials and appliances for gold coins.

Ragnar, who successfully got this batch of things, gave sixteen lords who were loyal to him, each of whom was divided into 10,000 sets of weapons and equipment, enough food and grass supplies for 200,000 people a year, and four million gold coins. Civil supplies and appliances.

The remaining 90,000 sets of weapons and equipment, enough grain and grass supplies for 1.8 million people a year, and civilian supplies and utensils worth 36 million gold coins, brought 11 new lords to Ragnar The loyalty of Ragnar’s total lords has reached as many as 27, and the total number of available fighters has also exceeded the 200,000 mark.

The consistent rule of the Cartgat Kingdom is to pay the same as the return, so Ragnar gave the 27 lords weapons, equipment, food supplies, and civilian supplies, while also giving them orders to send a thousand soldiers to participate in the expedition In this way, the Holy See needs the 50,000 troops sent by the Cartgart Kingdom to join the Anti-Dragon Alliance, and there will be directly 27,000 soldiers.

Of the 27,000 warriors contributed by the 27 lords, Ragnar gave Uber a unified management drill, but he himself put more energy on digesting the private given to him by the Holy See. Gift on.

The 250,000 sets of weapons and equipment on the bright surface, the grain and grass supplies needed by 5 million people a year, and civilian supplies and equipment worth 100 million gold coins are only the benefits of the troop provided by the Holy See to the Kingdom of Cartgat. Na’s personal relationship is not big, which is why Ragnar did not leave a thing for himself, and directly gave all the things to his allegiance to his lord.

In private, Ragnar himself received 300,000 sets of weapons and equipment provided by the Holy See, the grain and grass supplies needed by 10 million people a year, and civilian supplies worth 200 million gold coins. This is enough for Ragnar personally. Strength is increased by at least four or five times the huge amount of wealth, provided that Ragnar can obtain enough people to convert this huge wealth into his strength.

Rollo, Bjorn, Uber, Wittsack, Sigde, Ival and other members of the Lodebrock family, each of them has the strength of not weaker than other lords, especially the largest of the six The most populous Luo Luo, his strength even surpasses the kingdom lords who are effectively loyal to Ragnar, but because they are members of the Lord Brock family, they cannot be regarded as kingdom lords.

Unless one day, Ragnar, who is the contemporary head of the Lord Brock family, expelled them from the Lord Brock family as the head of the family, or granted them the privilege to establish a branch family of the Lord Brock family and have independence They can only be regarded as kingdom lords.

Prior to this, no matter how big their territory and strength was, as long as they were part of the Lord Brock family, their strength would be counted as part of the strength of the Lord Brock family, that is, Part of Ragnar’s strength.

Ragnar’s ability to overthrow the old king of the Cartgart Kingdom by force, and his coronation as a king, is enough to prove that he is the strongest lord of the Cartgart Kingdom, but this strongest is more reflected in the strength of the Lodebrock family. , Not the strength of Ragnar alone.

Replacing the coronation of the old king as the king is indeed of extraordinary significance to Ragnar, which allows him to order all lords of Cartgart as the King of Cartgart from now on, on behalf of Cartgart The Kingdom is involved in various international affairs, such as joining the Anti-Dragon Alliance; but it must be said that this matter itself is not as significant to the growth of Ragnar’s personal strength as outsiders imagined.

Prior to the seizure of power, Ragnar’s territory directly under him was equivalent to half of the provinces of the Dragon Empire, with a population of only 300,000, and the total number of soldiers who existed as a standing army was only 20,000; Rolo’s territory was more than Ragnar’s territory. There are many small ones. In terms of area, it is no more than a county in the Tianlong Empire. The population is only 150,000 or 60,000, and the total number of soldiers existing as a standing army is less than 10,000.

Even if the territory, population, and standing fighters are not much less than that of Rollo, Bjorn counts Uber, Witseke, Siged, and Ivar, who have smaller territories, fewer populations, and no more than 3,000 standing fighters. Waiting for four people, the entire Lodebrock family’s territory is no more than a half province of the Dragon Empire, the population is less than 800,000, and the total number of standing soldiers is about 50,000.

After seizing the throne, it is logical to allocate Ragnar, the territory and population of the old king’s family, to the vast majority of the newly acquired territory and population to members of his own family such as Rollo and Bjorn to enhance their strength and consolidate The dominance of the Lord Brock family.

The Lord Brock family, whose territory and population almost doubled, became the undoubted strongest family in the Cartgart Kingdom. Not to mention Rollo and Bjorn, even the original territory and population could not meet the standards of the Kingdom Lord. The Uber, Witseke, Sigde, Ivar and other four people, after sharing a large territory and a large population, have the strength of ordinary kingdom lords.

Even if the youngest and weakest three of the Lodebrock family, Wittsaker, Sigde, and Ivar, they also have a territory equivalent to a county in the Dragon Empire and a population of about 100,000, And the standing fighters of five thousand.

Uber, who was more valued by Ragnar, was assigned more territory and population than his three younger brothers, so the number of standing soldiers under his command reached six thousand; and, as time went on, Uber ruled his population With the increase in control, the number of standing soldiers under his command can be further increased, which shows that his development potential is much stronger than that of his three younger brothers.

Bjorn and Kingdom, which are most valued by Ragnar, are second only to Rolo of Ragnar. Their territory almost reached the level before Ragnar was crowned king. It was only when the division was made. Na personally made some small moves.

Although the areas of Bjorn and Rollo’s territories are almost the same, there is a clear gap in the number of people on the ground. Under the rule of Luo Luo, the original population of 150,000 to 60,000, the area of ​​the territory doubled, and the total population under the rule Only increased to more than 200,000 points; in contrast, Bjorn, his territory has only doubled, but the total population under rule has doubled, reaching an astonishing scale of 350,000.

In order to make up for the injustice encountered by Luo Luo when distributing the population, Ragnar assigned more surrendered soldiers to Luo Luo, which allowed Luo Luo, who lost a lot during the war to win the position, to have 12,000 standing fighters at once. Become a powerful force above the lord of the kingdom who is effectively loyal to Ragnar, and there is little Bjorn who can be a surrender fighter. There are only about 7,000 standing fighters left under his command.

Rollo, with 12,000 standing fighters, is definitely more powerful than Bjorn, who has only seven thousand standing fighters. But from a long-term perspective, of course, he has a population of 350,000. Bjorn has more development potential than Rollo, who has a population of more than 200,000. This is Ragnar’s long-term vision, giving his brother a strong moment, and the foundation for his eldest son to be strong for a long time.

Ragnar strengthened his four sons to be equivalent to ordinary kingdom lords, and strengthened his brother and his eldest son to be equivalent to the kingdom’s top lords, which directly led to his own strength not being fundamental Strengthening.

The territory was expanded from half a province to one province, the population under rule increased from 300,000 to about 500,000, and the number of standing soldiers under his command was expanded from 20,000 to 25,000; this level of direct strength has no effect on any one. Ordinary Cartgart Lords are powerful and unmatched, but Ragnar alone is not enough, because he is the king of Cartgart.

The emperors, kings, and grand dukes of other human nations on the Dragon Continent, these rulers do not necessarily have strong power, even if they have strong power, it is impossible to rule the country by force; but in the Kingdom of Cartgat, it is not the same. This is a country where the strongest respects the supremacy of force. Only the strongest lord can become a king. The king’s rule of the country is maintained by force.

With the current strength of the Lord Brock family, the entire Cartgat kingdom, except the blond king Haral and the blood axe king Eric and son, no lord dare to challenge the rule of the new king Ragnar; but once pulled The strength of Werner’s individual is separated from the Lodebrock family, and there are more lords who dare to challenge Ragnar.

In terms of personal strength, there is no lord of the Cartgat Kingdom that is the opponent of Ragnar, but the reason they dare not challenge Ragnar is definitely not that Ragnar’s personal strength is strong enough; because there are many in the Kingdom of Cartgart Big lords who are closely related to many small lords, as long as these big lords are willing, they can organize a captive alliance against Ragnar at any time.

To a certain extent, the relationship between Ragnar himself and his brother Rolo is equivalent to a seizure alliance organized by Ragnar; when heirs such as Bjorn inherited Ragnar’s territory and Under the premise of population, the powerful Luo Luo will one day leave the Lord Brock family independently. Even if he has no ambitions, he will have to consider this matter for his descendants.

According to the Law of Succession of the Lord Cartergarde, if Luo Luo, a member of the Lord Brock family, does not independently leave the Lord Brock family, then his heir is not qualified to inherit his territory and population Whoever inherits his territory and population will be allocated by the head of the Lord Brock family.

When Ragnar was the head of the Lodebrock family, he would surely let the son of Rolo inherit the land and population of Rolo, but who can guarantee that after the son of Ragnar became the head of the Lodebrock family, Let the descendants of Rollo’s son continue to inherit? The reality in front of us meant that it was only a matter of time before Rollo left the Lodebrook family.

Similar to the embarrassment and discord between the Ragnar and the Rollo brothers, it is not uncommon in the history of the Cartgat Kingdom. It can even be said that this happens frequently in the family, which also directly leads to the territory of the Cartgat Kingdom. There are a large number of lords who are nominally heads of different families, and in fact have a common ancestor, and they have a very close relationship with each other.

In order to prevent Rollo from getting bigger, and to strengthen his direct strength, Ragnar did not disclose the private gift given to him by the Holy See within the Lodebrock family. The weapons, equipment, food and grass supplies, and civilian supplies were directly He was secretly transported into his own territory, even his five sons were completely unaware.

On the second day after the shipment of weapons, equipment, food supplies, and civilian supplies were all delivered to the territory directly under Ragnar, Eisenstein, with the authorization of Ragnar, again approached the envoy of the Holy See and negotiated a settlement with them King Ragnar’s difficult situation.

In front of the special envoy of the Holy See, Eisstein directly expressed Ragnar’s intention to monopolize that batch of weapons and equipment, grain and materials, and civilian supplies and appliances, and outspokenly Ragnar made some things awkward; for example, Ragnar made the Holy See Everything provided to the Cartgart Kingdom on the face was distributed to allegiance to his loyal lords, which is obviously unreasonable.

Because of his loyalty to the lord of Ragna, his relationship with Ragna is not as close as his brother and son, so Ragna’s approach is easy to arouse suspicion from outsiders; in order to avoid causing more things from this, Isai Stan hopes that the Holy See can help take some remedies to eliminate the suspicion of Ragnar by outsiders.

The person who can be a special envoy of the Holy See is also a kind of elite. Ezestein’s words are so obvious that he certainly cannot understand the deep meaning expressed in the other party’s words; anyway, the big head has come out, and the special envoy of the Holy See will not This trivial matter offended King Ragnar who wanted to ask for more benefits, and a series of remedies came into being.

Three days later, on behalf of the Holy See, the Special Envoy of the Holy See gifted a congratulatory gift, including 70,000 sets of weapons and equipment and two million people a year, on behalf of the Holy See. The food and grass supplies and civilian supplies worth 30 million gold coins were needed; Ragnar, who had been crowned for several months, accepted the late gift from the envoy of the Holy See.

This batch of materials sent to Ragnar in the name of the congratulatory gift was logically distributed to his family members by Ragnar; among them, the most divided into grain and grass supplies and civilian supplies and appliances were the largest population under the rule Well, the one with the most weapons and equipment is the Rollo who has the most standing soldiers under his command. The others are also proportioned to the share they deserve.

Six people including Rollo and Bjorn divided 40,000 sets of weapons and equipment, the food and grass supplies needed by one million people a year, and civilian supplies and equipment worth 15 million gold coins. All the remaining supplies were It was owned by Ragnar; in this way, the whole thing seemed reasonable, and the materials that Ragnar actually received were also completely hidden by this opportunity and would not be discovered by anyone.
