Chapter 31 Split Eastern Europe

In March 1002, early spring, Eastern Europe was full of vitality. The tribe leaders on the prairie, the noble lords of the farming areas, as well as other Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Rossians, Romanians, etc. were all busy...

Of course, these guys were not busy with spring plowing or feeding animals. Instead, war, civil strife, killing and robbing territory. Some small alliances gradually formed and were destroyed. Some more powerful chiefs, heads, princes, princes, etc. quickly appeared, and before they could do something, they died from betrayal of their subordinates or joint attacks by other nobles. In short, extreme vitality and vitality made the United Kingdom - no, now it can no longer be called the United Kingdom, but can only be called a chaotic Eastern Europe. Although there were several nobles who overestimated themselves to claim that they were the legal heirs of the United Kingdom, they were soon jointly destroyed by the surrounding nobles for various reasons. Eastern Europe is now such an extreme state of chaos.

Very good, very attractive in chaos.

Even Egil himself could not have imagined that the other party's anarchism and division tendency was so high. The entire United Kingdom fell to an endless situation just because of the defeat and death of a king.

Then there was creepy.

"If, if, if it was me who was defeated and killed in that battle... Then the Norman Kingdom now... isn't it like the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania?!" Seeing Wuming sending it, the battle was more lively and more chaotic, Egil couldn't help thinking this way...

The answer is of course yes. Because there is no heir. Even Egil even has a decent relative... Well, well, there are still decent relatives, such as a cheap sister. But Egil extremely doubts that after he dies, this strange guy who should actually be a system elf can successfully inherit his kingdom - he can't even figure out whether he wants to.

OK OK OK, no matter how much you say this kind of thing, it is useless. Artoria's belly is not good enough. Egil didn't even dare to mention related things in front of her wife...

So, let’s talk about some practical things.

After Egil successfully destroyed Vadislaw and sent assassins to successfully assassinate him, there was no suspense in this war that "determines the fate of the Baltic coast". Although Egil won, although one negotiable object was missing in the end, this did not prevent Egil from turning around and incorporating several fertile territories that did not belong to the Prussian region into Prussia.

In this way, it seemed that the territory of the Teutonic Knights was included in Egil's control. At this point, Poland could no longer control even an inch of land along the Baltic Sea. Of course, this actually had a certain degree of difficulty. Although Egil's six-month tax exemption law designated by Egil was quite powerful, it exempted the doubts of the people of all over the Baltic Sea to a certain extent, and except for some naturally restless people, there was not much to make trouble. However, in the south, the Greater Polish region, and the entire Eastern European plains were in chaos, it was unlikely that as a neighbor, it would be possible to survive alone.

In just a few days, news came from more than a dozen villages on the border adjacent to Poland, and were robbed by Polish mobs and nomads. Therefore, Egil had to deploy a large number of infantry patrols in the border area and sent troops to wipe out several of the most dangerous bandits. This was a little safer. But this was not a solution. After a war, Egil's territory has expanded a lot and the army has also lost a lot - the nobles in the territory have all died, but they did not stop as Egil imagined. Instead, many relatives and illegitimate children have robbed property and titles. Some of their brains were even hot, forgetting Egil's order to prohibit private fighting. Gathering troops and fighting a mess. The public security within the territory has dropped rapidly. All these things need to be solved by Egil...

Therefore, Egil felt that it was necessary to rest for a while, restore the strength of the Royal Knights, and continue to improve the Tomahawk Cavalry. At the same time, Egil has been sided with the Eastern European prairie this time, and the recruitment of the main light cavalry should be put on the agenda. These messy things made Egil too tired to deal with. However, the chaotic situation in Poland made Egil feel extremely uneasy.

Finally, Egil thought of a solution that he thought was not a solution. He gave Poland's current neighbors, Lithuania, which had gradually become independent and unified, and was abused by Sweden. Prince Liurik, who had greatly reduced his strength, and Catherine II, the female grandfather of the Grand Duchy of Moscow who was currently accumulating strength and keen on developing Siberia. Attila, the Hungarian king who was still licking his wounds and preparing for a comeback. Otto I, the Saxony Elector, who was full of confidence in unifying the Holy Roman Empire, and Basil, the ultimate boss across Asia, Europe and Africa, each sent a letter. I hope they could personally - at least send a full-power envoy to discuss matters about Poland. If possible, then it is not impossible for everyone to sit down together and share Poland peacefully and friendly...

Egil did not have much hope for whether this matter could be accomplished - after all, all countries have plans for all countries. For Hungary and Saxony, the Greater Polish region wanted to annex no matter what. For the Grand Duchy of Moscow and Novgorod, the two areas where the Rossians gathered in Ukraine and Belarus were also plump and tender. Of course, perhaps it was not impossible for Eastern Rome to swallow the entire Poland-Lithuania, along with other countries, including Egil. Egil is still a braised carp, but it is a little bigger than the tail of ordinary carp. He never imagined that Eastern Europe and Central Europe could sell his face.

Eastern Rome may do it...but that is to be done on the premise that Egil kneeled down to Basil.

But it is better than nothing. At least it is better to do it than not. This is also a signal sent to other countries: when labor and capital are tired of fighting, labor and capital do not want to expand, labor and capital are harmless, and are kind and cute than the little white rabbit. That's it.

Of course, it is also a question whether the rulers of those countries have their brains flowed into the water and believed Egil's words.

After solving the diplomatic problem - it will be solved. At least it will take some time to wait for the reply after sending the message - it should be the solution to the internal affairs problem. If you solve the internal affairs, the most urgent thing at the moment is to swallow all the territory you just got.

Finally, after repeated review, Egil divided the entire Livornia and some Polish regions in Prussia as follows:

Livornia is divided into two administrative regions: Upper Livornia and Lower Livornia. Riga and Vilnius are the capitals respectively.

The Prussian region is divided into three regions: East Prussia, Central and South Prussia (including part of Polish territory), and West Prussia, with Koenigsburg, Marburg and Danze as its capitals.

Most of these five cities have been fortified due to Eastern Europe, especially the Teutonic Knights' war, and the industrial and commercial value is very low. However, the surrounding territories and villages have been well developed. Egil thought for a moment and decided to keep the castles of Marburg, Danze and Riga far away to defend against the chaotic Polish region in the south, against the Holy Roman Empire, and against the Ross people in the east. Demolish most of the fortress structures in Konisburg and Vilnius, open ports to trade, and encourage the development of handicrafts. Then, all taxes in March were spent on rectifying this area, upgrading the agricultural facilities of the five cities and surrounding villages, and building roads around the city to strengthen the defense of the three castles.

The reason why Egil chose to continue to operate this area rather than allocate the finances to the increasingly stable UK, or to develop Scandinavia, is that one is because the land in Eastern Europe is fertile, suitable for farming, can feed more people, and can continue to explore outward, with more development potential than the other two regions. Another is because these areas have just been conquered and the people's hearts are not stable, so a large amount of money is needed to establish a bureaucratic system and judicial system, improve people's lives, stabilize people's hearts and eliminate potential dangers of riots. Another reason, and the most important reason is that this place borders other countries on three sides, whether Germans, Poles or Ross are strong enemies, and they need to operate vigorously and strengthen their strength.

So, Egil spent several days to formally divide the administrative regions around the Baltic Sea and spend a lot of money to operate. Next, it was about the reorganization of the army. When Egil thought of this, Egil felt heartbroken. Because of the initial mobilization order, the tax revenue this month was cut. Originally, Egil was planning to connect the city in Livornia and Prussia, but the remaining money was not enough. So Egil planned to think that it would be better to restorate the roads, and it would be better to restore the Royal Knights first.
