Wang Duodi Luocheng.

In the royal palace, at the Yuqian meeting.

The royal family represented by King James quarreled fiercely with the noble ministers.

"With 18 Earl lords, the royal family must take 6 of them, and there must be no less!"

"The royal family took out 10 million gold coins, the royal family took out half of the military expenses, and the loot must have a royal family!"

"You never want to swallow all the loot!"

The old fox Roberts said hoarsely, he had repeated these dozens of times, and his voice was almost dumb.

But the nobles headed by Rudolph, the rebuttal words are also those sentences.

"We signed an agreement with His Majesty. His Majesty cannot violate the agreement and go against it!"

"What's more, the royal family spends the money to protect Princess Hiviness. The royal family should pay this money!"

"Also, we spent a total of 45 million gold coins in this war, and the royal family's money only accounts for a small part, not half!"

"So all the spoils of this war should belong to us."

Said a loud nobleman.

A lot of approval was immediately drawn.

"Yes, Your Majesty is the King, and you can never go back and go against your promises!"

"Although we have won 18 Earl's Collars, our losses have also been great, and the royal family just took out a little money."

"These territories were laid by our own ability. Why did the royal family take a third?"

"No, resolutely not!"

Speaking of the agreement that contained the trap, King James was both annoyed, regretful, and angry.

He even patted his head with his hands and denied, "What agreement? I am old and faint, I don't remember any agreement."

"Your Majesty, black and white, your name is written on it."

Immediately, the nobleman took out the sleeve agreement and handed it to King James, asking him to recognize the writing in the lower right corner.

King James, who claimed to be "old", was quick-witted this time, preparing to win the agreement, tearing it apart, and destroying the dead.

But the nobleman responded faster, and immediately accepted the agreement back, raising his eyebrows and saying: "Your Majesty, but you are a king, don't you want to fail?"

"Your Majesty, even if you tear up the agreement, there may be more than 30 nobles as notaries, your memory is not very good, our memory is very good."

"Your Majesty, don't waste your time, you have no share of the spoils of this war! Hahaha ~"

Among the triumphant laughter of the nobles, King James's complexion became more and more ugly.

Old Fox Roberts also said in a cold voice:

"You have made military plans in private without your majesty, and used the army of the king to seek benefits for yourself. This is an unforgivable crime of bullying the king!"

"Even if you have 18 more earl territories in your hands, if your majesty does not recognize them and does not grant you a title, you still cannot legally own these lands."

"The only way for your majesty to forgive you now is to take out some of the loot and give it to the royal family."

"This is good for everyone."

Roberts contained a threatening tone.

The nobles went down in flames instantly, as if they were hit by their weaknesses.

Indeed, the King signed the "Loot Distribution Agreement", but this was signed under the premise of being blinded. If King James knew that this battle could reap so many benefits, he could not sign the agreement!

Secondly, the newly added 18 earl territories are enough to subdue 18 field earls, or even two or three dukes with multiple earl territories. The number of viscounts and barons waiting to be subdivided is even more.

If the king does not agree to the segregation, the land will be obtained by everyone, but there is no name, which will bring a lot of inconvenience.

Not even protected by the kingdom, it may be crusaded by the kingdom of cable.

No loot is given to the royal family. The royal countermeasures will make everyone feel better.

Even from a win-win situation to a total loss.

But the royal family wanted to swallow 6 counts and take a third of the land, and the nobles could not agree.

The scene fell into an extremely rigid state.

At this time, Zhou Ming had to stand up.

Resolve this deadlock.

How to resolve?

Take out a small part of the interest and smooth out the royal family.

After three days of discussion and after reaching agreement, as the representatives of the nobles, Zhou Ming stood in front of King James and took out his "sincerity".

"The ten million gold coins previously withdrawn by the royal family are now all returned to your majesty, a lot of them."

"Not only that, we will also give out 5 million gold coins as a royal war dividend ... this is not a decimal."

"In addition, 5 Viscounts and 12 Barons agreed to give them to the royal family the territory similar to the royal territory in exchange for another territory in the new territory."

"Although the 17 pieces of land are not large in total, they are equivalent to half the area of ​​the Earl's Land, and they are right next to the royal land."

"Your Majesty, this is the best condition we can open. If this cannot be agreed, those nobles will decide to elect a duke as the leader and establish a duchy between the Kingdom of Saury and the Kingdom of Abdul. Allegiance to Your Majesty ... This situation must be your Majesty, do n’t you want to see it? "

Zhou Ming said that the three conditions of "returning all invested capital", "giving five million dividends" and "replacing 17 territories" are for the nobility, and are for the royal family and cannot be compromised. Optimal thickness conditions.

In exchange for the king's recognition of their new land ownership.

"This……"

King James was caught in a trade-off.

15 million gold coins, to the current royal family, is still a big number.

He moved a little bit.

The 17 pieces of land close to the royal collar, for King James, exude a very enticing taste ... Although not very large, the royal collar has been expanded.

Moreover, those brave nobles dare to threaten the king, saying that if the king does not recognize their occupation of the new land, they will establish a principality by themselves!

This is simply a big deal!

King James could not bear it.

but……

Now these nobles have more power in their hands, whether it be land or army, than the royal family, if they are really anxious ...

Shook his head.

That scene can be called "ground shaking".

And Lei Lin guarantees that if there is a similar war opportunity next time, he will definitely pull the royal family into the occupation.

"Okay, I promise your terms."

"But next time there is such an opportunity, the royal family must share a slice of soup!"

King James nodded, and the two sides finally reached an agreement.

The nobility sighed with relief and opened the celebration banquet one by one, smiling one after another, and playing one after another.

In this war, all of them can be said to have made a fortune.

Leaving aside the 18 Earl's Ring leaders, the gold and silver treasures alone have seized more than 35 million ... This item has basically returned.

It also captured 400,000 strong soldiers and soldiers.

If all these 400,000 captives are invested in factories or mines, a lot of benefits can be created.

The other is the population of the Kingdom of Suoliu with a total of 5 million people. If these populations are all digested and converted into a large number of factory workers, medicinal farmers planting medicinal herbs, or sheep herders ... The progress of the industrialization of the Kingdom of Yadud will be greatly accelerated .

The benefits created are naturally countless.

In short, after this war, the nobles led by Zhou Ming grabbed the huge benefits of more than 500 million gold coins.

It can be said that everyone makes money.

just……

Zhou Ming's father, Earl Cohen, a middle-aged man who was loyal to the king, had some objections to Zhou Ming's claims.

Even severely questioned.

"Why didn't you help the king, instead grab the benefits for those nobles, their power increased, and would they still obey the king's orders?"

Father Cohen is very difficult to understand, such a big profit cake, as a member of the Lei Lin family, Zhou Ming actually did not bring the royal family to participate?

Isn't it to shame the Lei Lin family?

Will the king continue to trust and reuse the Lei Lin family in the future?

Zhou Ming explained to him the difference between "home world" and "public world", about the destructiveness and limitations of the king's centralization, and the superiority of all the nobles and kings "to rule the world"

He even told his father Cohen some bold designs and ideas to make him think deeply.

And said at the end:

"Dad, some of the ridiculous things Prince Edward Luther has done in Wangdu recently, I believe you should have heard about it? In the broad daylight, rob beautiful women, trampling in the bustling city, squandering money and losing 10 million gold coins in gambling establishment ...... If such a person takes the throne, what kind of damage will the kingdom bring, I believe you should guess? "

"Will you still be loyal to such a king?"

"Recently, the old king's body is getting worse and worse. After the crown prince Luther ascended the throne, did you stop him and teach him to become a Ming monarch?"

"Have you changed a person who is stupid, ignorant, and aggressive?"

"Do you believe the kingdom will be better in his hands?"

This……

Faced with Zhou Ming's stern questions, Count Cohen stopped talking and suddenly fell silent.

In my heart, I slowly accepted Zhou Ming's proposal called "Constitution of the Monarch."

...

Time goes into October.

The mercenaries who had reached more than 100,000 and came to the Kingdom of Abdullah happily, after receiving their rewards, most of them left the Kingdom of Abdul.

But there are also a small number of mercenaries who remain in the Kingdom of Abdul.

There are even a group of mercenaries with a population of about 500 people, and they have become nobles in the Kingdom of Abdul because of the merits of more than 10,000.

Have a piece of territory that belongs to them.

What impressed Zhou Ming the most was a mercenary organization called the Fierce Mercenary Corps. They resisted for a month on the first line of defense, repulsed hundreds of attacks, and killed countless enemies. .

In the end, the entire mercenary regiment had 118 people and 110 people were killed in battle. Only 10 people survived.

And of these ten people, except for a man named Hoodt who suffered minor injuries, the other nine were all seriously injured.

In other words, this masonry fortress, ignoring the siege of the enemy, can be understood as "the whole army is annihilated."

Their leader Klein died in battle.

The old man Arnold also died in battle.

Many, many players died in battle.

But the fortress they defended has never fallen.

And the heads of the enemies they had stored in the granary were 1,200 ... including the head of the enemy Count ... Klein died with him.

When Zhou Ming heard the story of the fortress defenders, he was deeply shocked.

In order to seize an opportunity to change destiny, this mercenary regiment actually fight to this extent.

After the war, when counting the merits, Zhou Ming personally counted the merits of them. Instead of using the head as the basis, he directly counted the number of their killing enemies. After the last calculation, their merits were 38,410 points ... Said they killed more than three thousand enemy troops.

So many merits are enough to seal three field barons for this mercenary regiment.

But Zhou Ming thought about it, in order to set an example, he directly sealed the nobility to the ten survivors.

Sealed a Viscount and nine Barons.

And the land they divided was near the fortress they fought in ... The land within a radius of 50 miles in this neighborhood belonged to Hodette who was divided into Viscount and nine other seriously wounded.

The name of this Viscount leader is called Klein collar ... in order to miss a man named Klein.

At the grand and grand funeral, facing the head of Klein ’s tombstone, Hoodt tore off the noble clothing, took off the noble badge of the chest, threw away the waist viscount sword, and threw himself on the tombstone. Before, weeping to death.

"What's the use of this noble title? I'm just an old man about to die ~ www.readwn.com ~ What's the use of me as a noble?"

"These should be yours! Klein, everything should be yours!"

"It should be me lying in this tomb! You who should survive!"

"Woohoo ~"

Hoodt pounded his chest hard with a sad expression.

This scene, Zhou Ming all looked in the eyes.

Walked over, patted his shoulder, sighed and said:

"For his death, blame me."

"I gave him hope he shouldn't have."

"Don't be too sad, since you said that Klein still has an illegitimate child, then go find him. This land should be well inherited."

Hoodt wiped his tears and nodded.
