The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 409

Olaf has not returned for several years, but Wenlan is getting better and better because he maintains a backward but effective political system.

Put aside the development and utilization of resources for the time being, income and population are increasing by a large amount, which has led to a huge increase in Wenlan’s national strength.

Due to the increase in national power, the military expansion of Wenlan in the Five-Year Plan has also developed very well under Heine’s leadership, and the territory has also been increasing in recent years.

The west has not expanded yet, but in order to find land with better climate, the land from the southern part of Prophet City to the Gulf of Mexico was taken by Vinland the year before and cultivated.

Now Wenlan has cultivated 30,000 acres of cotton plantations through land reclamation. With the support of cotton, the Viking Supply and Marketing Tavern also opened three textile factories to spin cotton threads and cotton cloth for the first time.

Although there are still many problems with the quality of cotton due to technology and cotton varieties, but because cotton is a new fabric, since last year, it has been able to effectively produce cotton that is sufficient for making clothes, bed sheets, sofa covers, handkerchiefs, etc., and A small amount of them are sold in the European market, such as Iceland Viking Merchant Shipping and Denmark West India Merchant Shipping, which has aroused good response.

Olaf has always been satisfied with Heine. He is extremely happy with the development of Wenlan in the past few years, and is even more grateful for Heine’s efforts.

After thinking about it, Olaf decided to formally establish the Marquis State in Vinland and give Heine a fief as the Duke of Pomerania.

Legally speaking, Vinland is a colony of the Principality of Iceland, but it is separated from the scope of the Swedish Empire and has no relationship with the Principality of Pomerania.

But Olaf is not only the Duke of the Duchy of Pomerania, but also the Marquis of Vinland of the Swedish Empire, and even the Grand Governor of Vinland, and his family.

From his identity, Olaf has been able to fight against his father Hadar, and has surpassed Hadar in power, especially in the land of Wenlan, which is now completely controlled by Olaf.

Therefore, Olaf included Vinland into the Swedish empire system. As the Marquis of the Duchy of Pomerania and the Duchy of Iceland, there is no problem in operation.

But the disadvantage of this is that if Olaf has no successor, or if the Principality of Pomerania is annexed and banned in the future, the heir will inherit the rights to Vinland.

Olaf is only 27 years old this year. He doesn’t think his health is not a sign of longevity, so he decided to connect all his territories through a proper relationship, so that he can do things more conveniently in the future.

So on March 27, 1644, after Olaf also hosted a banquet for all the governors of Vinland, he issued an order to establish the Marquis of Vinland and recognized himself as a Marquis of Vinland. At the same time, it stipulated that the Duchy of Pomerania would Will become the United Principality together with Vinland, inherited by himself and his heirs for generations.

Since then, Vinland has changed from a colony to a marquis state, and its political status has been suddenly improved. All the governors and city owners are very happy. Then Olaf, as the Marquis of Vinland, issued the first order, which is to canonize Heine Williams. Si is the Count of the Prophet’s Fort of the Marquis, the fief is two hundred miles around the Prophet’s Fort and the surrounding area, with a population of 50,000.

The second order is that the former Grand Governor’s Mansion was changed to the Privy Council, and Heine Williams served as the chief member of the Privy Council, that is, the Prime Minister.

Song Qinghe, Liu Fu, Lixstrom, and Solrak served as members of the Privy Council to participate in the division of labor and assist the Prime Minister in handling government affairs.

Olaf’s friends are still the commander-in-chief of guards, except for Harik. The others are now the chief and deputy governors of Wenlan because of their varying abilities. They are all officials of the frontiers, but because of their different knowledge and abilities, they can participate. Only Lixstrom and Solrak were admitted to the Privy Council.

After the establishment of the Privy Council, Wenlan Hou’s ruling team was considered sound, and then the 9th and 18th grade official system was thoroughly implemented. The vice-governors of various regions became governors and vice-governors, and the city lord became the mayor.

The civilian team of the central government and the local government led by the Privy Council can be regarded as parallel with the Viking Leidang system within the Vikings. Olaf believes that it can govern all parts of Vinland more effectively.

After re-selecting the talents trained by the military academy and Qinghe Academy, he became the mayor and deputy mayor of various places. Most of the original governors were changed to governors, and the vacant ones were taken over by the former deputy governor or the original city lord.

While the decree was being conveyed to various places and the current governors and mayors of Hadar gathered to digest the information, Olaf again issued an order for military reform on April 1.

The regular Vinland Legion will be expanded. The original six legion expansion personnel will be reorganized into 10 regiments, and the Vinland Raydang will be established in accordance with the Viking Raydang model. It is also set to be five Raydangs, and Olaf himself will serve as the marshal in chief. He also served as the general of two Lei Dang.

The remaining three Raydan Olaf are prepared to give Heine one, Blackstone one, and Oros one. Heine being General Raydan is to enhance his strength and possess the authority that the prime minister should have, while Blackstone and Oros are established by Olaf. Only when the two of them are positive examples of the pinnacle of life among the indigenous people can they bring the hundreds of thousands of Indian tribes in North America to their hearts. They realize that returning to Wenlan and integrating into the Vinland Viking Leydan system is not Blindly be a slave to the white people, and you can also have the opportunity to become a master, and the heart of resistance will wear off, which is conducive to future expansion and domination.

According to Olaf’s expectation, when the reorganization of a legion is completed, Vinland Leidang will be placed under Viking Thunder, but it is also composed of Vinland’s loyal contract white slaves and native slaves. A core leading organization of 100,000 people.

A Wenlan Lei is 20,000 people, all of whom are soldiers. If you count the married soldiers and their wives and children, the next five Wenlan Lei will have a population of more than 200,000 when they were first established.

At that time, Vinland’s social structure will be composed of Viking Raydang, Vinland Raydang and free white people, free natives, and contracted white slaves. As for the indigenous slaves, they will all belong to the Viking Raydang and Vinland Raydang masters. Private property slaves can also be regarded as unhuman.

Because of the expiration of the contract, the increasingly large group of freed people can also form the upper class together with more and more freedmen, officers and soldiers who came from indigenous slaves, suppressing and transforming the newly emerging voices of seeking benefits and status. In order to be loyal to Olaf, to the loyalty to the Marquis of Wenlan, and to defend his Wenlan Leidang collective determination.

With Olaf’s decree reform, Wenlan’s hidden social contradictions have been transformed. The establishment of Wenlan Leidang has completely tied these people to Olaf’s boat, and has become a commonwealth. The community of interests, in the future, it will be this batch of Wenlan Leidang masters who will rule and squeeze the indigenous people and more and more contract white slaves. Olaf will be a detached existence, and governments such as Heine and the Privy Council will also be the management of the people and the institutions that deal with political affairs without causing more and more slaves and free people to be hostile in the future.

Heine, Song Qinghe, and Liu Fu, as Olaf’s cleverest ministers, and also the most experienced people in politics, were impressed by Olaf’s magic.

Olaf, who was praised and admired by his subordinates, smiled faintly and said in his heart: “I am just crossing the river by touching the skin of a wild boar. It is nothing more than the Eight Banners and Mongolia Eight Banners. As long as there are slaves, this social organization will be unbreakable and indestructible. The existence of my banner people will also be the people who are most loyal to me!”

Thinking of this, Olaf said to Song Qinghe: “Lao Song, in order to better distinguish management, I am going to follow Viking Leidang’s name to Wenlan Wu Leidang as Cinderella and design banners and emblems with cultural characteristics. You are responsible for this.”

Now Qinghe Academy has the most Wenlan calligraphers and painters, among them there are more than 20 Western oil painters. Song Qinghe also feels that this matter can be done beautifully, bowed slightly, and said: “The minister abides by the decree, one week. I will be able to submit the first draft to Lord Chitose for your approval.”
