Chapter 350 The Birth of a Prince
On May 1117, 5 in the continental calendar, five months have passed since the end of the first siege war. During these five months, the Kingdom of Winster and its allies and dependent countries had no wars and began to recuperate.Richard also enshrined emerging nobles in the conquered areas, and a large number of Germanic people were scattered throughout the kingdom and became noble lords. The soldiers also returned to the land they had acquired safely and enjoyed a peaceful life after the war.
After the Kingdom of Pravia, the Kingdom of Delj, and the Kingdom of Ramirez were conquered, a large piece of unowned land was used by Richard as a reward for his military exploits. The soldiers of the first and second legions were all satisfied. After getting the land, they came to the land with military pay to build manors, and hired the conquered people to work for themselves, but this does not mean that they will no longer have to participate in military operations. They still have to gather in the main city of the nearby area every year to participate in necessary Military training, and when war breaks out, they are also obliged to prepare their own weapons and respond to the call of the country.
It is worth mentioning that these soldiers who acquired the land only accepted Richard's conscripts, and they would only join the army when Richard issued a mobilization order. If those local nobles wanted to conscript them to fight, they would not Don't even think about it—Richard's rule has more or less prevented the chaotic wars among the local nobles and reduced the possibility of rebellion. Most of the military sources belong directly to the king, and there are only a few private soldiers and a few soldiers in the hands of the nobles. There are not many conscripts left.
After the soldiers of the First and Second Legion were dismissed, apart from the Imperial Guard in Nord City and the garrisons in various places, there was no standing army in the Kingdom. Richard quickly noticed this, and he also Aware of the hidden dangers contained in it, in the absence of a standing army, once emergencies occur, such as rebellion, premeditated declaration of war, etc., they cannot respond immediately, which is very disadvantageous.So it is necessary to have a standing army.
Therefore, Richard decided to recruit another army as the kingdom's standing army, which can also be called the quick reaction force-in this army, the cavalry will occupy the majority, and the number of infantry will be relatively reduced. The standing army will have two brigades of crossbow cavalry, three brigades of mail cavalry and two brigades of imperial knights, for a total of [-] cavalry. As for infantry, only two brigades of heavy soldiers and soldiers will be recruited. Just a large group of civilian crossbowmen.
Such a large-scale standing army will take a long time to recruit into an army, and it will cost a lot of money, but compared with the maintenance fees of the previous two legions (although some of the soldiers belong to the maintenance-free Mars Bing) is still cheap.
In addition to the restructuring of the military, the economy has also developed a lot. During these five months, the trade between the Kingdom of Winster and the allied countries and vassal countries has deepened, and at the same time, it has also opened up the Kingdom of Swachiqi. Although these countries are very afraid of the strong rise of the Wenster people, they still agreed to the trade agreement proposed by the Wenster envoy under the temptation of money.
In addition, there is the issue of Richard's heirs. Although it feels sudden, Richard has to admit that sometimes this world is such a coincidence. He was pregnant with Richard's heir, and his legal wife Stephanie also broke the news of her pregnancy at the same time. This double happiness made Richard couldn't help but smile.
To be honest, he thought that the corpse he inherited was a ghost without heirs, because after so many years, there was no news about Stephanie at all. On the contrary, the nobles around him gave birth to several babies almost every year. Exclude dystocia and dead babies.Not having any children for so long, even alarmed Queen Mary, who lived in the deep palace for a long time, and asked her to order a well-trained doctor to examine Richard and Stephanie. The result of the examination was that everything was normal and the two were very healthy.
Now, Stephanie, who is a legal wife, is finally happy. After the news came out, people in the whole kingdom were relieved. They saw Richard's performance. If such a great king had no offspring, no What a pity that would be, heir.
Stephanie's belly is getting bigger day by day, and Richard's heart is getting more and more anxious, oh no, besides anxiety, there is also the expectation of the newborn, and the excitement of becoming a father soon. But he has never experienced it, and he has only read descriptions about it in novels or TV dramas in his previous life, but he can't resonate with it, because he is a single nobleman who doesn't even have a girlfriend.
But now, seeing that Stephanie's belly is getting bigger and bigger, Richard is getting more and more nervous. He ordered the Praetorian Guards to put the Ippolito Palace under full martial law. No one is allowed to enter or exit at will except for important matters that need to be reported. In addition, he also bought a large number of well-trained female slaves and ordered them to take care of Stephanie every step of the way. It can be said that the entire palace was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the slaves did not dare to make too much noise when walking inside. The news, for fear that it would disturb Stephanie.
Also Richard's heir, on the other hand, Diane is not so valued here, she only has a few maids to take care of, other than that, it can be said that she has nothing.
With Richard's nervous company, the time soon came to February of the next year. In this relatively warm late winter, Stephanie finally reached the period of labor. After the efforts of several doctors, a baby boy was born. He has attracted thousands of attention since he was born, and has become the most distinguished and distinguished person in the entire kingdom except for Mary, Richard and Stephanie.
Stephanie's luck is very good. After giving birth to the fetus in her womb, she herself is safe, and the mother and child are safe. In this era of poor medical conditions, pregnant women are often accompanied by great risks. Dystocia or directly giving birth to a dead baby, if you are not careful, you will die twice.
Richard was also very aware of this, so during Stephanie's delivery, he paced outside very nervously, praying to the gods in the dark world. After living in another world for 12 years, he was more or less the same. Infected by the people around him, he began to believe in some so-called gods. At this time, even if he was the king of a country, all he could do was pray to the gods.
Fortunately, the mother and child are safe—as if there is a will of God in the dark. At the same time, far away in Bennett, the capital of the Kingdom of Deira, a baby boy’s cry came from Niles’ house, and the cry was sharp and mournful. , vaguely echoing another cry thousands of miles away...
