Chapter 1 The New European Order
Egil wrote a New Year's speech, and those who follow me will prosper and die. At that time, a storm storm broke out on the Euro continent. A group of European princes rushed to send envoys again, expressing their willingness to obey Egil's arrangements and wills. They did not want Egil to choose him, and he used it as a target for his authority. Egil also followed the trend and issued his second statement.
"Since the fall of the Roman Empire, the princes of Europa have emerged, and the war has continued. The Melovin Dynasty, Tanhud, was in trouble with internal and external relations, which is insignificant. The Carolingian Dynasty divided its vassals and had serious separatist rule. As a result, the Norman Empire rose for five hundred years. I inherited the destiny of heaven and responded to the people below.
The Norman Empire was founded, and the Skadragrim x Dynasty. From the British Isles to Russia, they were all in my pocket and belonged to me. The nations surrendered and the world was peaceful. Today I should declare that I am the emperor of Europa. The kings and dukes of all nations are my ministers. The kings and dukes of all nations are my people. We must obey my orders and abide by the laws of the empire.
From today on, I will not be allowed to appoint vassals or directly affiliated troops without my orders, nor to hire mercenaries without authorization, nor to poison living creatures. Any dispute must be followed by my adjustment. The countries shall not be connected, formed alliances or entered into treaties at will, and must not make secret agreements in private. Once discovered, they will be held responsible.
From today on, I will not divide or expand the territory of the following countries without permission. I will not inherit the territory of other countries through in-laws. The crown princes of all countries must obtain my approval, otherwise it will be considered illegal.
From today on, I will eliminate border checkpoints and shall not collect taxes for merchants in exchanges, so that trade between countries will be unimpeded. Commodity taxes shall be imposed, and the Norman Empire Commercial Law shall not be imposed privately.
I will impose the following countries. From today on, I will send envoys to the Norman Empire to learn the Norman Empire's rituals and laws, and learn the Norman Empire's political and military systems.
From today on, I will use Norman as the official language and Norman as the official document.
From today on, I will use Norman coins as the official currency.
From today on, I will send envoys to Krakow once every six months. Every four years, the monarch will come to Krakow in person.
I will control the following countries. From today on, whenever I have to recruit lunch boxes to prepare for troops, food, grass and equipment, go to war with me.
In this way, a total of eight clauses completely regarded the continental countries as their vassals. They stipulated strict systems. They asked them to withdraw from customs checkpoints, use Norman characters, coins and laws, and strictly restricted the vassals' territories and seized the diplomatic rights of the vassals. Although this is not very harsh, it cannot be said that it is very strict. Almost all the feudal systems and feudal obligations that should be mentioned.
Of course, Egil would not just ask for it without giving it. After all, what he wanted was a solid rear, a group of supporters and a group of vassals who could draw hundreds of thousands of troops out to fight with him when necessary. It was not a group of ungrateful wolves who were ready to take their resentment when the Norman Empire was weak and rushed to take a bite.
The Norman Empire, likewise, had corresponding obligations to his vassals. Egil also formally stated in his notice: I also know that among the European countries, there are strong and weak, poor and rich. There are many conflicts among the countries, and all the country are resolute. As the co-lord of Europa, I should consider my ministers: I promise that when one of my vassals falls into civil strife, I should send troops to help him maintain order.
I promise that when a certain vassal of my vassal is overthrown by a mob or other nobles in his territory, I should send troops to restore him. If the person dies in war, he will support his children. If his children die in war, he will choose relatives to support him from the closest branch of his relatives' bloodline. If relatives die, he should make the nobles' children innocent and change their inheritance and inherit the inheritance as adopted sons, so that the inheritance will continue.
I promise that if one of my vassals has poor territory, it may cause disasters due to natural disasters or **.
When people are injured or killed, I should provide assistance.
I promise that when one of my vassals is confused and needs guidance, I will solve his doubts
When there is a problem, I should give him advice.
I promise that when one of my vassals is in trouble because of other difficulties that are not mentioned above, I will provide him with various types of help as much as possible.
These five points, as Egil's guarantee, can be said to be extremely precious. He ensured that the European countries could develop smoothly, and that the royal nobles of the European kings would no longer have to worry about domestic rebellion or foreign enemies from now on. Egil would ensure that their descendants would always grasp the power of the country.
It can be said that as long as Egil is in power for one day, Egil's various vassals can be in power for one day.
When Egil released this announcement, the continental countries responded in a different way. The strong countries complained but the weak countries were fortunate. But no matter which country it was, they could not resist Egil's will. It was called 1009, the manuscript of the Declaration of the Norman Emperor,
It marked the final and formal formation of the feudal system centered on the Norman Empire and spread across Europe. From then on, the continent entered a new era.
In addition to this manuscript declaration, Egil also announced two other small
, which can be called the declaration of supplementary documents, one is aimed at the Roman Catholic Church. This notice formally stipulates that the rights of the emperor, Egil, are greater than that of the Pope. The Pope seized the right to appoint bishops of the continental states, seized the privilege of collecting tithes and possessing land. The Holy See was prohibited from collecting tithes.
Egil declared to the Holy See: Since the day when Pippin offered the land, the Holy See has declared itself that the Gospel of God is bright on the surface and is sacred on the surface, but in fact, it is thieves and prostitutes, which are filthy and filthy.
Today I will act in place of God and reform the Holy See system. From today on, the Holy See will be separated from secular life and simply as a religion. They will have no land, no servants, no clothing and food. They must study the teachings carefully and pass the examination qualifications to call themselves the gods. And rely on the examination qualifications to receive the corresponding level of holy fortune
Another statement was directed at Venice. The Norman Emperor believed that it was an inappropriate act for Venice to call himself a republic. After that, Venice should establish a special domination. The rulers of the domination were elected and had the power to rule as the governor of Venice, and they were called Chief Executive. The Chief Executive existed as a special vassal of the Norman Emperor. He needed to perform duties similar to those of the vassals of the nations to the Norman Emperor.
At the same time, because of the particularity of Venice, Egil could not guarantee that a specific family would maintain Venice's ruling power as a feudal lord. It could only guarantee that when Venice was invaded too much by foreign enemies, Egil would send troops to rescue him.
After Egil issued this statement and sent an envoy to Venice, Venetian Governor Witt obeyed Egil's orders without thinking at all, changed the name of the Republic of Venice to the Venetian District, and publicly swore allegiance to Egil. Although this was not consistent with the freedom tradition of Venice. However, as a merchant, the Venetians cleverly and sleekly ignored this point. After all, the Norman army was stationed in southern Italy. Other feudal countries would not be unwilling to send troops to express their loyalty and make a small fortune in Venice.
In this way, through the 1009 Declaration, as well as the Declaration of the Holy See, and the Declaration of the Venetian Declaration, the Norman Empire completely established its rule over Europe. However, one thing that needs to be paid a little attention here is that among the countries targeted by Egier, there are no three countries in Spain in Iberia, Leon Castile, Aragon and Portugal, which are still excluded from the mainstream order in the continent. Even if they beg Egier to take them to do small things.
Brother, Egil doesn't want it either.
Because at this time, it was the time when Spain's Sangu was fighting with the Moldova Sultanate. If they were included as vassals, then according to Egil's promise above, the Norman Empire would have to mobilize to fight against an emerging Muslim power for those bastards.
Moreover, the location is in Spain, a place thousands of kilometers away from Eastern Europe. It takes one year or two years to go back and forth.
I'm afraid Egil will fight the Moors to the death, and the Mongolian army will kick his lair.
For the sake of several foreign ministers in the border areas, Egil is not a fool. So for the time being, let them die on their own. Egil is not afraid of the Moors becoming bigger there. The Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet can completely block their march by sea. If they want to march by land, they have to cross the steep Pyrenees. This is not an easy task. Egil just sends a small number of troops to block the Pyrenees Pass, and it will be foolproof.
In this way, a month before the 1009 East, Egil was busy with this matter. He discussed with his vassals, discussed with his vassals' envoys, conveyed messages, coercion and temptation... ".". ".". ".., and at other times, he was pulled to the Royal Advisory House to help her handle official duties.
Egil was so busy all day long that Egil didn't touch the ground. Egil felt that he didn't know what was going on. He stayed at home, but it seemed that he was even more tired than going out.
So, this night
After a busy day, Egil finally had a little free time of his own after dinner. This man who now holds the authority of the European countries began to think about what kind of fun he would have tonight.
"The last time... "...well, I've been to Jean Arc for more than two weeks. I heard from Maria that Joan Arc is a little listless recently. It must be because I haven't seen me for a long time."
