Chapter 468 Comparison of Strength with Earl Siwa
Zhou Porridge went offline to do that.

A month has passed, and the good news is that the Kingdom of Swadia has finally signed a peace agreement with the Kingdom of Rhodoks.

The Rhodok Kingdom, which had been suppressed by the Swadia Kingdom, finally couldn't support it anymore.

Their Castle of Kurmar has been captured by the Kingdom of Swadia!

At this point, their passage out of the mountain was completely blocked by the Kingdom of Swadia. If they let the war continue, Rhodoks would soon die due to lack of food, supplies, and weapons. Therefore, King Graves had to humble his nobility the head of the Swadian Kingdom to sue for peace.

After several years of war, the kingdom of Swadia, which has never stopped, is also tired, and many lords have suffered heavy losses.

Especially the Harengos family, they were first besieged by the Kugits and Salanders in the Dherim area, and lost their territory and interests in the Dherim area, and then they continued to fight with the Rodo Kingdom War.

Although they are in the upper hand, the number of soldiers in the territory has gradually decreased, villages have been plundered, and military expenditures for war have been increasing, which has already exceeded the sum of their plundered and accumulated wealth over the years.

It can be said that this two-year war exhausted the strength of the Harengos family.

However, the Kingdom of Swadia lost the main traffic and trade route in the Dherim area, its economic strength declined, and its army was getting fewer and fewer. It was already in danger, so it had to stop the war and agreed to the request of the Kingdom of Rhodoks. , signed a peace agreement.

It will take time for both parties to recover.

Another reason is that the Kingdom of Kujit is creating friction again, preparing to tear up the peace agreement and attack the Kingdom of Swadia. The territory under his rule, he can't let it be lost anyway, it will deal a big blow to his prestige.

He did not respond to the provocation of the Kujit Kingdom, which has already caused the warlike lords in the kingdom to complain about him. If the enemy invades, if he does nothing, he will receive many lords rescinding their oath of allegiance to him. Request, find another enlightened lord, which is very common in the Calradia continent, and there are even more extreme lords who directly betray the lord and fall into the arms of the enemy country.

At present, he has no extra territory to recruit those lords from other countries, and all those who can be sealed off have been sealed off. Many territories have been snatched by the enemy.

He set his sights on the Nord Kingdom. At present, the Nord Kingdom is fighting fiercely with the Vikirians. If he can take this opportunity, concentrate his remaining strength, and take down several Nord kingdoms close to the Swadia Kingdom. Territory, or recovering several castles occupied by the Nords in the past, it will have a very good effect on restoring his reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia or the mainland of Calradia.

At present, it is necessary to select a powerful marshal who is not from the Harengos family to lead the battle. He has already released the news that it will be carried out in the Kingdom of Swadia. Election of marshals.

For Zhang Qiang, the election of the Marshal is a matter for King Harolds and the Earl Lord. Zhang Qiang has the right to make suggestions, but not the right to vote. Only the Earl Lord has the right to vote and be elected. His task is to develop his territory and expand own military strength.

He asked Ramossen and Johan Johnson, and Manid calculated that he still has [-] million gold coins and less than [-] million supplies. These things are enough for him to be the king of the game world.

It is more than enough to develop two village territories and expand the army.

There were many settlements in the past, and the smallest settlement had more than 100 people, [-] to [-] households, and it was almost a small village.

The largest settlement has more than 100 households and a population of 1000 to [-]. If these settlements are placed in the territory of other NPC lords, they will definitely not be able to support them. They will definitely be outlaws. The only thing they can do is to become outlaws Robbery, murder, and trouble require the lord to encircle and suppress.

But when they came to Zhang Qiang's territory, due to the [-]-strong militia patrolling alternately day and night, and the shock of nearly [-] Zhang Qiang's lord's army, they did not dare to act recklessly, and Zhang Qiang's strategy was different from other NPC lords. , People plunder and squeeze hard, but Zhang Qiang governs them with the concept of governing the country in the real world.

Never let them starve to death, and at the same time never let them have extra leisure time to think about other things, they have jobs.

It’s not logging, it’s road building, farming, or mining, rock mining, and those craftsmen, such as chefs, who can make bread, give them funds to open bakeries and make bread.

Or to help Yatiman build fortifications, archery towers, watchtowers, and fortresses. In Zhang Qiang’s territory, there are systematic archery towers and watchtowers everywhere. The two villages are now towns with tens of thousands of people. Without the existence of city walls, it is impossible to defend against their neighbors, the Kujit people, in this cold weapon era. Therefore, the two villages now have to build city walls.

Don't be too tall, [-] meters, just don't go right away.

The population of these settlements is about 3 people. In addition to various workers, Zhang Qiang mobilized another 3000 people to form another militia team, and mobilized those who were willing to fight and were originally high-ranking soldiers. , Joining his own army, now Zhang Qiang's army has expanded to more than 600 people, which is almost equivalent to the strength of a prestigious earl.

In the previous battle in Vikia, Zhang Qiang has trained more than 200 knight attendants and more than 100 knights. The knight attendants are all about the top level of the second rank, and the knights are about the middle rank of the third rank. Once these people expand, they will become mid-level officers, about 50 More than 20 people became meritorious knights, and five or six people became one-star silver star meritorious knights.

A one-star silver star meritorious knight is already a noble knight.

Zhang Qiang gave them fiefdoms, that is, those settlements. Ordinary knights only get land and some horses as rewards, while knights who are sealed and common people get land and slaves as rewards. They can also choose some people from the common people as their The entourage, the groom, the entourage is the warrior, the groom is the servant, take care of them.

The meritorious knight has obtained the military position of commander in the army. Each of ten ordinary soldiers can have knight attendants. In addition to their noble status, knight attendants are more noble than civilians. They can have grooms, slaves, and accompany knights in battle. Responsible for assisting knights in managing soldiers.

A group of silver star meritorious knights can obtain corresponding soldiers according to the strength they can bring, can recruit troops by themselves, and at the same time have the manor, territory, and slaves bestowed by the lord.Just like Zhang Qiang did at the beginning.

The base of these people is quite large, forming the backbone of Zhang Qiang's army. The descendants are hero knights. Most of them are above the fourth rank, own their own manors, and have quite noble identities. They are equivalent to the existence of generals, but they usually accompany Zhang Qiang. It is the backbone of the general's guard and the main force in the final battle.

They managed the administration and army for Zhang Qiang.

It can be said that Zhang Qiang now has about 9000 lords directly under the army and [-] militia garrison troops. This strength cannot be achieved by any Calradia continent alone.

Here, the commanders of the 9000-member militia, starting from a corporal commander, all the above officers came from the Swadia training camp. In the army, they are qualified ordinary soldiers, recruits.

There are about 800 of these people, which means that another army of Zhang Qiang has come out.

Maybe the combat effectiveness is low, but in the later stages of the war, whoever has the most troops will be able to persevere.

Zhang Qiang was snickering. Before he knew it, he himself had the strength of ten thousand people.

Another month passed, and this month, Zhang Qiang served as the chief minister in the territory of Earl Siwa. In addition to the familiarity of the previous month, he met with the administrators, mayors, village chiefs, and some so-called famous people of various territories. This made Zhang Qiang very familiar with the current territory of Earl Siwa, and at the same time, his administrative order doubled the tax revenue of Earl Siwa this month, bringing a total of 60 taxes to Earl Siwa, except for military expenditures , there is still a surplus, which can continue to improve people's livelihood.

Under his governance, the three castle territories of the Earl of Siwa's territory enjoyed prosperous commerce and increased population. He also opened up some places so that merchants could set up shops inside or outside the castle, and the shops sprung up like mushrooms after rain. From now on, although these shops are just some simple thatched houses or wooden houses, as the business becomes more and more prosperous, exquisite stone shops will be built one after another.

The houses in the cold weapon era were either earth houses or wooden houses, or the most solid ones were stone houses without bricks and tiles.

In total, even Zhang Qiang's territory now has a population of 10 in Earl Siwa's territory.

This made Earl Siwa very happy. He summoned Zhang Qiang many times, and the relationship between him and Zhang Qiang became more and more harmonious. .

This involuntarily made Zhang Qiang think of his original personality traits, and increased his defense against him.

Zhang Qiang secretly learned about his military strength. There are three castles with different garrisons. Fort Lunvadia is his main place to stay. , making his reputation second only to Zhang Qiang in the Kingdom of Swadia.

In recent months, the one with the highest reputation is Zhang Qiang, who defeated the army of the Kingdom of Sarande alone. , Those who have seen the battle and those who understand the battle are very familiar with Zhang Qiang's army's performance, combat effectiveness, and Zhang Qiang's role in the battle as a qualified military adviser, which makes him a Calradia leader. People who are famous in the mainland.

It can be said that apart from several kingdoms, the Marquis of Rod Lapoye of the Marquis Kingdom has the highest reputation.

At least for now.

Earl Siwa's prestige allows him to bring 1800 troops.

Of the 1000 troops, he currently has 600 troops stationed at Fort Lunvadia, [-] defenders at Fort Dreimag, and only [-] at Fort Malag.

There are only more than 900 elites above Tier [-]. Elites are the most expensive, so [-] pairs of people are already his limit. He doesn’t have Zhang Qiang’s hundreds of millions of gold coins. He needs taxes to maintain the army. Loot enemy villages and defeat enemy armies to capture loot to sustain.

In other words, he has more than 900 elite soldiers, and although Zhang Qiang also has 1000 troops, there are more than [-] elite soldiers above the third rank, which is obviously stronger than him.

This is also the reason why Zhang Qiang can sit here and have an equal conversation with Earl Siwa as a Viscount.
