Of course, regarding the chaos in the North Netherlands region; initially the New Kingdom Army was invited by the local princes to enter on the grounds of mediating war and restoring order.But now that he is excommunicated by the Holy See of Rome, he is declared a heinous heresy, the incarnation of the devil crawling out of hell.

Although it will not be possible to go straight to the city of Rome for a while, and invite the Holy See to discuss scriptures and exorcise demons; but it does not prevent the Kingdom Army from taking the name of the Holy See/Universal Church in the next time. Under the jurisdiction of the three major bishops in the Netherlands.

So just three days later, Roermont, the diocese/capital of Gelderland and a city of 8 people, was surrounded by a sea of ​​smiling golden sun flags and blue-shirted soldiers; Trembling and trembling in the voice, like a crumbling island.

In fact, when the First Legion entered the Diocese/State of Lower Gelderland, as a member of the "Alliance of Three Bishops", there was still a distance between Genelarity and the Bishopric State of Lower Gelderland and Utrecht. The Marquis of Frisia, which was at war far away, sent diplomatic envoys to negotiate one after another.

It's just that the New Kingdom Army who intervened relatively strongly, and their respective demands are also different.Therefore, two days later, in the city of Breda at the junction of the Bishop of Udalech and the Bishop of General Genelality, the First Army encountered the allied forces of the Bishop who had hurriedly returned to the division, and a multi-party battle broke out.

In terms of the number of soldiers, equipment, training, and morale, the First Army, which had an overall advantage, was almost crushed, and the Allied Army of the Bishops rushed back; No miracle happened in front of the projectile.

With the power of steel and gunpowder, it was completely torn apart and destroyed, and after the most crazy and desperate part of the mortal body shouted the name of God and the Holy See all the time, the remaining Theocracy soldiers were forced to quickly The "cooling" down; and it turned into a total chaos.

The only bright spot and episode that may be consoling are the hundreds of church knights from the three bishop states; at the last moment of the collapse of the coalition forces, in order to protect the dean they belonged to, they inspired the power of their blood, facing the cannons and muskets, A desperate charge launched without hesitation.

Therefore, after knocking down half of the members one after another, Jiang Tian couldn't help but ordered to stop the cannon bombardment; and dispatched the special attack knights and vanguard knights in the New Kingdom Army, and brought the equipment and equipment for capturing prisoners. All the knights under the church will be captured.

Because, according to the experience of fighting and reforming in the kingdom, the church knights cultivated by this kind of local church are undoubtedly mostly devout and fanatics.But once it is refuted by people with teachings and principles, it is easy to turn into a firm and fearless kingdom loyalist.

With the rapid conclusion of the Battle of Breda, the chaotic Northern Netherlands also ushered in a long-lost peace.But under this general peace, it was accompanied by a series of liquidation and raids, as well as territorial division, replacement, and annexation, forming a new order dominated by the kingdom.

The destinies of the three bishops who were defeated were also different.The bishop of Gelderland, who lost his territory and army, fled the battlefield and went into exile directly.The Bishop of Udrecht, who resisted most resolutely, tried to gather a crowd to fight again after returning to the territory, but died unexpectedly.

Bishop General Genelality, whose territory remained relatively intact, suddenly announced the surrender of Kaesong after fleeing back to Hertogenbosch, the capital of the territory, and accepted any disposal from the Royal Army.Therefore, the Bishop of Genelarity was also preserved and became a vassal of the kingdom at a certain cost.

Even after the incumbent Bishop General Giannellalitti announced his abdication and entered the local monastery; then the New Kingdom Army selected a highly respected elder who was born in a monastery among the clergy of the local church and monastery to act as Giannellalitti Bishop's duties and authority.

But then, the other two bishops did not have such "good luck".After the bishop of Gelderland went into exile, the upper echelons of the church in the neighboring country were almost exiled by the kingdom. Instead, the joint meeting of the bishops of the kingdom elected a new bishop to lead his ministry to take over.

As for the final resistance and turmoil of the Bishop of Udrecht, the five cities bordering the Earl of Friesland under his leadership were divided into a viscount; , and took an oath together to become vassals and vassals of the kingdom.

According to the Treaty of Brussels signed by the Royal Government and the princes of the Netherlands in the Principality of Brabant; the Kingdom of Sealand will uniformly conduct long-term garrisons, fortress construction, foreign declarations of war, and armed passage in the territories of these vassals/senior vassals. A range of military and diplomatic powers.

And has the right to operate free trade, mining and construction workshops in the above-mentioned areas without tariffs; build roads, establish post offices and post offices, facilitate transportation and communication; and have priority in some judicial trials, mainly for major rebellion and heterogeneous related cases.

The remaining territory of the Bishop of Utrecht is designated as the northern special military region/province of the Kingdom of Sealand; there are many redemption companies following the First Legion, as well as supplementary companies recruiting young and strong Dutchmen along the way. And a joint regiment composed of part of the African cavalry was stationed.

And the daily task of this joint corps stationed in the special province in the north is to be responsible for cleaning up all kinds of deformed beasts and aliens that are rampant in the wild everywhere with the cooperation and coordination of the princes of the Netherlands; even form a crusade army to eliminate and eradicate the current There are endless anomalies in the northern strata.

And in the process of transforming and building a new order.Many Dutch nobles, vassals, vassals, and knights who followed the New Kingdom Army also received corresponding titles, titles, territories, fiefs, annuities, and other rewards, and were further bound to the chariot.

With the complete disintegration of the Triple Bishops Alliance, and a group of Northern Netherland princes headed by the Count of Friesland, also joined the ranks of the kingdom's vassals (countries) and vassals (territories); the suffering and turmoil of Zealand The kingdom also expanded its territory and authority again after many years.

Next, Jiang Tian took the newly victorious army with high morale and the large amount of military expenditure contributed by the princes of the Northern Netherlands to collect and purchase relatively sufficient supplies in the local area; he turned his final attention to the only Ned who was still in war In the coastal area of ​​the Netherlands, there are four lowland princes headed by the Netherlands.

This time, he even received news that the armies of the three counties of the Netherlands, Zeeland, and Flanders were once again defeated and asked for help in the battle against the British invaders in the territory.In the defense of Antwerp that just broke out, the coalition forces of the princes were defeated by the British separately.

Of course, compared with those in the inland Netherlands, most of the territory is cold and barren or covered with mountains and hills, the so-called highland princes who can only rely on mining and logging as their economic pillars; the coastal/lowland princes headed by the Earl of the Netherlands have the ability Quite a strong business atmosphere and characteristics.

Because it is located in the golden waterway between the sea and the land, it is also the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, and it turns into the Atlantic coast, and even the traditional ocean current/plundering channel/trade line around the Mediterranean Sea; became the first foundation.

The origin of the name of the Netherlands (Holland) originally meant "a place with dense forests".Therefore, most of the history of the lowland princes is basically a long process of opening up ports, cities and villages and towns from patches of seaside forests, tidal flats, salt marshes, and sandbars through dike projects.

As the first Dutch earl, he was also known as the last Viking hundreds of years ago; in the chivalrous wars from the people of silver (Seres merchants) and the Holy Kingdom, the revival of the Roman Empire took turns to suppress and kill Under the crusade, the leader Dirk who finally converted to God in order to protect himself.

In the end, as part of the Vikings who were driven to a desperate situation and were unwilling to surrender and convert, they concentrated on plundering large and small ships along the coast, and like a tragic epic story, they lit all the wine halls in the settlements, singing Old ballads disappeared in the misty Atlantic.

The other part of the Vikings fled along the inland waterways opened up by their ancestors in history to the Kuman grassland, which is difficult for the countries of the Western Continent to hunt down, and finally merged with the local Slavs who were enslaved by the Khazar Khanate. Thus was born the biggest internal trouble called the Ross Tribe.

Vikings has also completely become a historical term.

And Dirk led the only remaining Viking longship group on the mainland, and established the famous Egmont Abbey in this swamp and sandbar-filled estuary, which has taken root for generations.As a bridgehead against invasion, it has also become the ancestor of many lowland princes and their vassal families.

Of course, peace gradually returned to most parts of the Western Continent, and the raiders who ravaged the north also ebbed one after another, transforming into settled tribes/barbarian countries along the Baltic Sea and the North Sea.Sea and land commercial activities and trade routes inevitably became active and prosperous.

As the only remaining Viking descendants on the Western Continent, the lowland princes quickly forgot the bravery and bloodiness of their ancestors, as well as the piety of converting to the church at first, and completed the transformation of the true nature of businessmen.This also led to the army of the lowland princes inherited from the past dynasties, which is really hard to describe.

In other words, they have a large number of excellent fleets and sailors, as well as sea armed forces and inland river guards who dare to compete with the British Isles or the Norman tribes in the north.But what followed were the defensive forces of city-states and towns in various places with serious partiality.

Among them, there are not only small but sophisticated armies of territorial vassals who are similar to knight fiefdoms; there are also strange existences who simply contract the city's security and defense tasks to several mercenary groups in turn.This "flexible and changeable" system is certainly better for most situations in daily life.

However, against more powerful and stoic enemies, it would be somewhat inefficient and bloated.It is said that the Earl of Flanders, which has a relatively large proportion of traditional vassal territories, and the Netherlands and Zeeland, where the merchant group guilds are more powerful, have not even been fully mobilized.

As for the lowland vassals, there is another Avatu country that has a relationship with the former royal family for generations, and it has simply drifted away from the three princes for a long time; just because the internal opinions of the Zeeland country are not unified, and some people Refusing to let Avatu's army pass through his territory.

In contrast, those British invaders appeared to be much more stoic and powerful.As an unexpected foreign force, they have persisted in the lowland/coastal land of the Netherlands for more than three years. They have repeatedly defeated the lowland princes and even threatened the capital several times.

Strong push, since the establishment of the account: The Roman Khanate.I feel all kinds of deja vu, brain holes and historical deduction, which almost coincide with what I think.Like something written in another world and timeline (fog)
