Chapter 33 If you lose the battle, you must obediently cede land and pay compensation
The treaties drawn by Egir are as follows: In addition to the two items of peace and trade mentioned by the Denmark, the island of Gotland was also ceded, the compensation for defeat was paid 55,000 gold, and the passage of the Ore Waterway was opened. Merchants on the Norwegian side did not need to pay taxes to enter and exit the waterway, and the various payments for Norwegian merchants to trade in Denmark were reduced.
When the two parties signed this contract in the renovation of Oslo Castle, Egil - now it should be called Egil I - probably.
Speaking of which, this was the first time they met. Margaret I was surprised to see each other's youth, while Egil was surprised to see each other's age.
Your sister will no longer be interested in the queen or something in the future. Egil looked at the other person's face that looked like an orange peel, and he swears secretly in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, under the witness of the Danish military priest and the Norwegian war priests - under the legendary holy sign of the crucifixion of Jesus (?) Jesus, the two sides signed a double-copy treaty. One side of Denmark gritted their teeth, while the Norwegian side was happy.
This treaty is fine, and there are compensations in the rest of the treaty. Many of the knights and nobles here have been captured. Many of them have been captured by others. So they have received various ransoms and given. Although the amount of 55,000 is a little large, it is not unacceptable.
As for the trade treaty, one-sided most-favored nation, what does this mean? The knight with a rye shell is full of rye shells said he was puzzled.
However, Gotland - then your sister is Gotland, a bastard! The most important and largest island, a bastard! The territory that I got after fighting with Sweden for n years! That's it, was it cedeed?!
If you want to conquer Northern Europe, you must control the Baltic Sea. If you want to conquer the Baltic Sea, you must control the Gotland. Although the Danish knights have never read the memorial of Tanaka, you still understand this principle. In the legendary Baltic Sea, it has such an island of 3,000 square kilometers to the south, but it is the largest island in the entire Baltic Sea. It is also a transportation hub for various trades along the Baltic Sea. Using this as a base, the navy can radiate to all countries along the Baltic Sea coast and fight whoever they want. Not only that, Gotland is also one of the trade hubs in the Baltic Sea region. Every year, the commercial tax paid alone can make the Danes wake up from their dreams. As a result, they are ceded.
"I'm so fucking, sooner or later one day..." At this moment, I don't know how many Danes swear so secretly in their hearts. Of course, this is not within Egil's consideration.
After signing the treaty, Egil ordered Carter to stop the task of blocking the Ore Waterway and returned with a ship full of spoils.
The Viking Navy is a little bit part-time job as a pirate. Everyone won’t have any objections, right?
——Don’t say anything dead.
In this way, the external problems were slightly solved. And midway through the negotiations, diplomat No. 1 also came back with the Swedish side's affirmative reply. Originally, Gustav was also thinking about whether to go to Norway to take advantage, and at first delayed not wanting to sign the treaty. However, after waiting for a few days, he heard that the Norwegian Navy blocked the Ore Waterway, and the Army defeated the Danes. He took back his thoughts. Anyway, his strategic center was on Novgorod. It was nothing wrong to show good to this neighbor who had shown some ability.
Of course, when Gustav made such a decision, he had never heard that Gotland had already been in the hands of Egil. Otherwise, it would be a different matter.
In any case, internal and external troubles - this part of the external troubles has been removed - at least temporarily.
Then there is only internal trouble. In the previous war, he decisively betrayed Egil, the tyrant, almost caused Egil to die. Do he want to forgive them openly under the banner of not ruling the law?
——How can you be able to do it?!
After decisively obtained 55,000 gold coins, Egil reorganized all his troops. Then he issued a declaration of striking rebellion. Although the opponent's aristocratic alliance attacked Bergen in desperation, he attempted to hold on to the city again. However, Egil had already seen through the attempt and recruited a thousand regular garrison troops to directly defeat the noble coalition forces, which had already been severely damaged in the defense battle. Immediately after Egil's army arrived, Bergen's siege was dismantled.
As for the loser, Egil had no intention of showing mercy - all the noble lords were hanged, their wives and children were sold as slaves, and all their territory and property were confiscated.
As for the Oslo nobles who performed well in the battle - at least not betrayed him, Egil considered it and felt that he should not let his reputation be ruined (System Elves: Do you still care about reputation?). So he did not do anything to these nobles. Instead, they increased their fiefdoms - but for some reason, these fiefdoms were the branches of the 708 Su in northern Norway, although they were generally a little larger than the territory of the nobles. At the same time, the development level was also a little higher...
But it's too scattered, right? The fiefs of the nobles were divided by the direct-government territory controlled by Egil. It's very inconvenient to visit each other...
However, despite this, many nobles chose to migrate to new territory after field investigation. Just kidding - look at the painted white fence, stone paths, well-grown rye, grasslands covered with grass, and Gothic villas, which are filled with fireplaces, gorgeous wooden furniture and goose-wool beds... Such a manor is many times better than my own. And there is less dispute in the inland. I live my life with my doors and listen to the call to send troops if I have anything. How great is this?
So, after spending 30,000 gold coins to build dozens of manors of varying sizes, Egil finally initially solved the problem of aristocratic feudalism in China.
Then, the next step should be to go to Rome, then accept the blessings of the pope, and be crowned as king. Of course, if Egil travels all the way to the legendary Rome, he will not even be beaten to death. But if there are too many people, then the countries along the way may not destroy him as an invader.
Shenma? You said you go on the sea?! You went around most of Europe and took the sea?! Are you trying to die? Even after traveling through the North Sea, Egil was a little trembling. The sea is the sea, and a wave turned against you and no one could save you. In the future, you will only be able to compete with sharks in the sea - if you are not dead yet.
So, Egil decisively deducted the idea of going to Rome to personally make a pilgrimage. According to the reminder of the system elves, Egil, who originally wanted to recruit priests from his monastery, finally gritted his teeth and spent 1,500 points to exchange for a pious but somewhat stupid priest from the system. In addition, the diplomat No. 2 - a five-star diplomat who was slightly stronger than No. 1, and a whole Nordic battlefield corps were allocated as entourage, allowing Carter's fleet to transport them to the Jutland Peninsula, Denmark, and then asked them to go to the legendary Rome pilgrimage.
After watching the fleet go away, Egir turned around and prepared to return to the Oslo Fortress. After his great efforts to transform, this castle has become a fortification group that has begun to take shape. It is used to prevent Denmark from making a comeback and serve as a bridgehead for invasion of the Jutland Peninsula.
"Spread your hands, actually, you don't need to be too scared of Rome now." At this time, the system began to "explain" with great dying death.
"By the way, can't you say anything in advance? You have to wait until I have done it before reminding me?" Egil said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Next time to pay attention." The system elves deal with it in its usual unconventional answer.
"Why don't you have to be too scared? Let's make it clear." Egil slowly slid on the horse. Now this one has been replaced by an ordinary local horse. Egil deliberately chose one with strong endurance and fast speed, but looks a little thin and not very strong in impact. It means it just by thinking about it.
It is used to escape - does your sister always make me say so clearly?
"Because, Rome now... Well, how to say it, its power is a little weaker. Its control over the various powerful countries in the continent also seems to be a little less. The most important thing is that the dispute over the ancestral system has not yet passed."
"The dispute over the church system?"
"The stronger between Roman Catholicism and Byzantine Orthodox Church is almost the same." The system elves explained as simple as possible.
"By the way... Rome is now... well, it should be the Eastern Rome that has established its capital in Constantinople? How powerful is it?" Egil asked.
"The matter involves confidentiality, and 500 coupons are patronized."
"...bastard." Egil clicked on the system interface and then clicked to agree: "You can say it now."
"Although all the large tracts of territory in the inland Europe were lost, Rome still maintains extremely strong strength now. Whether it is land, military strength or even cultural system, it is the best in the continent." The system elves said.
"Focus!"
"The key point is Cyprus, Rhodes, half Anatolia, the entire Balkans, part of the Crimean Peninsula, two Sicily, and the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula. There are almost so many territories."
"For the army, the Roman Imperial Guards, the permanent corps of various military regions, the Latin mercenaries, barbarian mercenaries, border guards, settlement troops, and peasant soldiers in various military regions... a total of more than 500,000. If a war breaks out, another 500,000 is expected to be recruited. This is almost the case."
