Chapter 191 Handling
The power of any emperor is based on his own legal system and military power.

There is an old saying in Xia Lin's previous life, which is called "the great affairs of the country lie in the Sacrifice and Rong", in which "Sacrifice" represents the name and legal system of the ruler, and "Rong" naturally represents military power. the importance of the author.

Although Queen Dorothea has just succeeded to the throne, she obviously has a very deep understanding of this important military matter, and attaches great importance to the messages sent by the four major legions.

The military system of the empire is a combination of the draft service system and the mercenary system. The soldiers obtained by the draft service system will be combined with officers from noble children who have undergone military training since childhood to form an army, and then they will be scattered and deployed to the four major regions In the legion, it is responsible for guarding the local area and maintaining the balance of the empire's overall military power.

The main purpose of Emperor Lent's reformed four major legions of winter wolves, manticores, dragon vultures, and rock crocodiles is to maintain the middle ground's ability to interfere with the four great lands.

It stands to reason that these legions all obey the orders of the middle realm, but sometimes, the four major legions will show their rebellious side, get rid of the control of the middle realm, and even make peace with the grand dukes of the four realms, enjoying the benefits of both sides. The support of the emperor became the power of the princes who listened to the announcement and did not listen to the tune.

Dorothea has just succeeded to the throne, and the request from the three legions is obviously a temptation.Obviously, if Queen Dorothea can't show her strength and wisdom, they will soon turn a deaf ear to the orders from the new queen.

"Then, Your Majesty, how much Jinlund is left in our treasury? What is the size of the three major armies, and who is the commander? How much Jinlund's military supplies do we need in a year?"

After pondering for a moment, Xia Lin first asked Queen Dorothea.

Some neutral and loyal conservative officials and nobles who didn't know much about Xia Lin began to discuss with each other. Ask a young fluffy kid.

However, in the explanation of Xia Lin's deeds by the enlightened officials who are familiar with Xia Lin in the crowd, the dissatisfaction and indignation of these people quickly dissipated, and they began to look at Xia Lin with probing and curious eyes. As a young man who is highly valued by Her Majesty, many nobles showed expressions of envy and jealousy.

"Baron Charin, I can explain this to you.

In order to repair the tomb of Emperor Preet, there are only 670 three gold lunites left in the imperial treasury. Among them, the Rock Crocodile Army stationed in the southern border has a total of twelve divisions, and the commander is Marshal Paul Gerd. , the total number of legions is 12, and a total of 8000 gold rents of military pay and supplies need to be allocated every year.

The Manticore Legion in the southwestern region has a total of eight divisions. The commander is Marshal Raleigh Barlow. The total number of legions is 11, and they need to allocate a total of 2000 gold rents in military pay and supplies every year.

The Dragon Vulture Legion in the Eastern Region has a total of twelve divisions, and the commander is Marshal Hume Ronald. The total number of legions is 12 people, and they need to allocate a total of 2000 gold Rendts in military pay and supplies every year. "

Earl Stuart stood up and explained to Xia Lin in detail.

"Why does the Manticore Legion have the least number, but they need so many Ginlunds?"

After listening to Earl Stewart's introduction quietly, Xia Lin couldn't help asking with some doubts.

"Because the Southwest Territory is also responsible for the trade matters with the Kingdom of Prussia and the Hallet Dynasty on the Yaga Sea, four divisions in the Manticore Legion are navy. Although the number of the navy is small, the expenditure is higher than that of the army. Much higher."

Marshal Hubbard, who seemed a bit out of place among the enlightened nobles present, explained to Xia Lin.

The general terrain of this world continent is quite peculiar. It has been found that most of the main continent is a trapezoidal continent. The upper part is divided into two parts by a Longji mountain range spanning the north and south of the continent. It covers the huge land on the north and south sides of the mountain range.

On the east side of the mainland is the target of the Sassen Empire's ongoing war: the six northern countries, from north to south, are the Kingdom of Clansedia, the Kingdom of Oia, the Kingdom of Liland, the Kingdom of Austin, and the Kingdom of Sardinia. Kingdom and the Kingdom of Enshiro, which is located on the west side of the empire and borders the northern border.

The Sassen Empire as a whole extends along the north to the east like a cat's tail, so the north and south of the empire are bordered by the ocean. Naturally, the empire has a navy in the north and south.

"So that's the case, what about the middle ground? What troops are we holding in our hands now?"

Xia Lin glanced at Marshal Hubbard unexpectedly, nodded clearly and then asked again.

"There is no legion in the middle of the country. There are two guard divisions near Helgana, and eight regular divisions stationed in other places, one of which is also a navy, and they are stationed near Daffa Port.

However, apart from the [-]th and [-]th divisions where I have a relatively large influence, I am afraid that the generals of other divisions also have concerns about whether to support Her Majesty the Queen. "

Marshal Hubbard continued to explain that although in his heart he was more inclined towards Prince Fermod's succession to the throne, now that the things that Prince Fermod had done were exposed, he had a detailed understanding After that, he completely extinguished his support for the prince who killed the king and father and colluded with villains.

No matter how much he couldn't understand this group of enlightened nobles who were full of businessmen's bronze stink, he could only pinch his nose and join them.

"If this is the case, Your Majesty, I think this matter is easy to solve. Our current predicament is the lack of funds and military support, so we only need to obtain funds and their support.

First of all, we have to make a list for the rebel party. The conservative nobles on this list, their property is a good source of funds.

All current assets will be confiscated and charged to the treasury, and fixed assets will be publicly auctioned to the outside world. We will soon be able to raise a large sum of money.

In addition to these funds, we can use a part of the territories of these nobles, large and small, to reward the knights who have made great contributions in this battle to quell the rebellion, so as to calm their minds first.

Then it was announced that the leaders of the rebel party, Fermod Ahlica and Hert Arnold, would be hunted down along the way, and the commander who promised to obtain their heads would be granted the earldom left by the Arnold family.

In this way, we can easily complete the most difficult step, which is to let these legions in the middle region obey our first order and stand in our camp.

As long as they obey the first order, as long as we can provide the logistics needed by the army, we can basically guarantee control of the army in the middle. "

"The plan proposed by Baron Xia Lin coincides with my previous thoughts, but I think the poor bastards of the conservatives may not be able to get so many Jinlund."

Regarding Xia Lin's idea, Earl Stewart nodded first, but then pointed out the problem.

Earl Stewart has been in charge of the empire's finances for decades, so naturally he can't fail to think of this simple solution. He has already proposed a similar idea before, but no matter what, they still have a big gap to find another way to fill.

The three legions add up to 47 gold rents for a year. Even if they are allocated quarterly according to the usual practice, they still need to give 12 gold rents. Although the conservative nobles look decent, but Stuart The Earl knew that many of them were poor and decent.

Most of the conservative aristocrats who are not good at management can earn four to five hundred gold rents a year through the various crops planted on the manor, even if they are in a good year. After removing their daily expenses, these gold rents can leave one hundred gold rents per year. Even if they are frugal.

Under such circumstances, Earl Stewart did not expect that more than 40 conservative nobles would be able to pool such a huge amount of Jinlund.

"Then let the bank play a role again! Your Majesty, I think it is possible to set up another National Bank of the Saxon Empire in your name, and then issue a batch of national bonds through this bank for members of the alliance to subscribe."

Xia Lin thought about it, and it was true. When the Gregg family didn't meet him, they were struggling to earn hundreds of gold renunds a year. This income was already at the level of most of the world's nobles. It may be unrealistic to send nobles to scrape enough money.
