Chapter 102: Half a step ahead is a genius, and one step is a madman (Please vote for the second update)

After lunch, although there were many people who were reluctant, the continental monarchs still gathered together again and began to discuss matters about the Saudi Kingdom. After this period of buffering, Egil also came up with a pretty good solution to solve the problem of belonging to this kingdom.

"Put this kingdom as a self-governing territory and a fief of rewarding the Crusaders' knights? What does this mean?" After Egil said the plan, many people did not understand what Egil was going to do.

"What I mean is that since none of us wants to govern this place, let the place govern itself." Egil said with a smile: "Let it go and let Saudi Arabia be nominally subordinate to the Crusaders without any taxes and military service. Of course, when they encounter problems, the Crusaders do not need to be cared about. Let them deal with it themselves."

"But... the vast majority of the land in this area is under the control of pagans..." Frederick of Brandenburg asked, "Does you have a way to make them surrender? Even if this is only nominally, it is not easy?"

"Of course it's not easy." Egil nodded and said, "So, I use it as the fief of the Crusaders."

"Please explain in detail." said Henry of Bavaria.

"Specifically, that's it - we are uncertain about the territory of this kingdom. At the same time, we let the crusaders, let Christians, even robbers, gangsters, bandits, and thieves enter here. If they can conquer a village, they can confer knights, and then they can conquer a Count, which is the Earl. If a duke leader is able to conquer the entire Saudi Arabia, then he will be the king of Saudi Arabia!"

After hearing Egil's words, everyone thought carefully and thought it was indeed a good idea. Instead of letting go, waiting for the powerful desert nations to rise again and invading the surrounding crusad countries, it would be better to do this, letting go, and even supporting the refugees, knights and knights entering there, using land and titles as promises, and letting them fight against the pagans. This will not only reduce the power of the pagans, but also allow those who cannot survive in the territory, those who do nothing, the second son of the family, etc. to find a way out. After dozens and hundreds of years of hard work, the Arabian Peninsula will be like this and be occupied by Christians!

Of course, before that, the peninsula will become extremely chaotic. The Christians and the natives of various countries, Christians and Christians, Christians and Muslims will continue to fight for the land and resources. The peninsula will become a huge coupe. Let the desperate poor, the adventurers who desire wealth, and the young knights who desire to stand out. Either success, or death...

"What a creative and good idea. I believe many people will appreciate you. Emperor Egil." Basil II first understood everything. After laughing, he said to Egil in a sarcasm.

"Where, this is all the common credit for everyone." Egil smiled and looked very modest.

"But I have another question - you have made this kingdom like this. The knights want to seize the titles of land and nobles themselves. So, who do they want to be loyal to after they have obtained these? Or, who do you think they should be? Whose vassals? Whose subjects? Are they themselves?" Basil II asked this question immediately.

"They are not vassals of any country, or of any person. Of course they are not their own." Egil chuckled, responding to Basil II's provocation: "They are fighting the pagans for God. They are only loyal to God - if they have to find a secular bond for them, then I think the Crusaders are a good destination - they are Crusaders. Although the holy land of Jerusalem has been seized, I feel that the Crusaders are not over yet. We can still plan some things by this name, this organization, or... plan an alliance."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Egil took out a long-planned plan. He felt that it was a very good time. Because of the great victory of the Crusaders, his reputation and power had reached a new height. As long as he explained it carefully to the monarchs, he believed that they would agree with what they said. Then, a secular alliance covering the entire European scope will appear, providing Egil with a solid rear, a stable market, and an allied force when necessary.

This will play a very important role in the Norman Empire's fight against Mongolia, and it will also help Egil further establish his prestige. A secular alliance will also cause a great blow to the Holy See. When the continental princes and even the people of the European continent discovered that they could live better, Egil's goal was achieved.

However, it seems not an easy thing to convince these people.

When Egil finished speaking, the continental princes frowned and looked disagreeable. And Philip IV, who had made up his mind to fight Egil, seized the opportunity to slap the table. Just as Egil was about to make up his mind and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, do you want the kings of Europe to obey your orders forever?" said Philip of France. If things really were as Egir had imagined, the Crusaders would have always existed. Then wouldn't he, the leader of the Crusaders, become the eternal leader of the continental nations? How could this be?!

"No, no, no, how could you have such a thought? That's really terrible." Egil shook his head, and the extreme scriptures seemed to be frightened by Philip's words: "The alliance I mentioned does not have such a leader. I think we can discuss it in a more democratic way, just like before, the leader of the Crusader voted to solve the problem."

Hearing Egil's words, the European princes were silent. Egil felt that they were thinking about gains and losses, so he further said: "Everyone, you can think carefully about how convenient it would be to have such an alliance. If we have disputes in the future, there is no need to start wars. Instead, we will discuss and discuss within the alliance. When foreign enemies invade, other alliance countries will help the franchise countries to fight back. We can also open borders to provide convenience for business travel and travel to promote exchanges between our countries. In the future, trade taxes will be formulated by the alliance, rather than collected randomly. Our academic and technology can also be exchanged. Advanced countries help back the development of backward countries. All countries in Europe will become as close as one family. We will usher in a new, completely different, and extremely bright future!"

Despite what Egil said, the blueprint he drew looked good. However, the European princes still did not agree with their clothes.

"Everyone, what are the problems you have? You can tell me and discuss them together!" Egil looked at the appearance of these people, felt a little embarrassed, and asked.

"...Please be honest. Your Majesty." Charlie of Burgundy was so angry that he could not bear it at this moment, and said, "What you said seems to be a path. But in this way, I feel that the laws of my country and my rights will be damaged. We start a war to punish the enemy, collect taxes, and determine how my country will develop and what the future will be. I think it is enough for us Burgundians to study it ourselves."

Hearing Charlie say this, the monarchs of other countries nodded and said yes.

“Yes, yes, I don’t want anything to tie our development.”

"Yes, what if the verdict made by this alliance is not satisfactory? Or what if the majority of members of the alliance gather to oppress a few members by voting?"

"There is no meaning in this alliance. In fact, we want to choose our foreign policy based on our own circumstances, we choose our allies, and our enemies. We don't want anyone to point fingers at us."

A group of European princes scrambled to express their concerns and reasons for rejection. Looking around, there was no one who supported Egil. This caused Egil's self-esteem to be greatly damaged for a moment.

And when Eastern Roman Emperor Basil II said: "This is impossible. His Majesty Egil is too young after all, and he is simply talking in his sleep." In this way, it was simply after slapping Egil in the face. Egil almost broke out.

Her eyes were scarlet, and Egil, who was holding the hilt of the knife in the cloak, tried hard to calm himself down so as not to accidentally cut off everyone in the camp. He forced a smile.

"Since... everyone is so opposed, then just think that I was telling a joke." After saying that, he laughed out loud. In the ears of other European princes, the murderous aura in this laughter was as real.

"Can't we offend this crazy emperor... Forget it, it's not me who offended him alone. If the law does not blame the public, it should be fine..."

In this way, the princes of Olu laughed with Egil. The meeting that lasted for three days and decided the fate of the Near East came to an end with this awkward and slightly crazy laughter.
