Proof of the Sun King

For the two great human kingdoms of the Old World, the Empire and Brittany have always been the focus of comparison.

The history of mankind has been advancing on a tortuous and spiral trajectory. There have been advantages and disadvantages on both sides, but it must be admitted that most of the time, the Empire is in the upper hand. This must be admitted. Ryan has always believed that Carl -Emperor Franz is the hero. Except for his weaker ability to duel, he is beyond reproach.

The time when Brittany could have an advantage in national strength and political system was only two or three hundred years in the event of the third knight king, White Death, Guillaume, to the Tower of Dole. After that, with the great holy war and The reorganization of Ludwig, the bureaucratic reform of the empire and the parallel of military aristocracy have crushed the feudal system of knight aristocracy that has always persisted in Brittany.

This is not something that Ryan has been able to catch up with for more than ten years in power. In short, the kingdom of knights has the upper-level sacred value advantage over the empire. This advantage is reflected in the state religion of the fairies in the lake, the eight virtues of knights, and the Holy Grail system. While arguing for Charlemagne or Eurek, while the empire was still arguing that savagery was the advantage of strength and civilization, Britannia had achieved unity in sacred values.

And the top sacred value has gone further under Ryan's leadership, that is, Ryan himself has controlled the sacred value by controlling the goddess and the lake **** witch through Wenzhi martial arts and some special methods, and he himself has become the sacred value itself, which is why Carl - Franz often complains about why Ryan has such authority and the high level of the empire often lurk a large number of Chaos believers and vampires.

In fact, grassroots governance is all about half a catty, and Britania is also inseparable from the self-cultivation of the peasants in the imperial villages or the self-governance of the village elders.

However, in the middle-level organization, that is, in terms of civil and military talents and development motivation, Brittany has a fatal flaw compared to the empire. This has been discussed many times in the previous article, so I will not repeat it here. It is emphasized that no matter how annoying the bureaucracy is, it is the best system that human beings have summed up after thousands or even tens of thousands of years of groping.

In Malcador's memory, humans tried to replace the bureaucracy with artificial AI and Iron Man omnic technology during the Golden Age, and the result was also very straightforward - Chaos could corrupt the source code of AI and Iron Man (announced by Tzeentch for this purpose). responsible) brought about the near demise of humanity.

What is the outcome of a lack of middle organization?

The two major uprisings in Lane's previous life, the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, had major structural flaws. Needless to say, the ending was due to the serious lack of middle-level organizations. No matter how brave these people were, the ending was already doomed.

In the early days of the two uprisings, the main force of the bureaucracy, the landlords and the literati, actually showed a show-going attitude (a few of them even secretly supported them), and many elite bureaucrats were actually deeply concerned about the decline and decay of the dynasty in its twilight years. I feel that a typical person such as Zuo Zongtang has also been in contact with the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom.

However, this contact exposed the fatal flaw, and these literati and doctors immediately discovered that they could not play with this system that mixes religion and politics. Not bad at all, and they were determined to destroy the Confucianism (Taiping Dao), and the landlords, scholars and officials decided to work together to put out this uprising.

This group of talents covered all the elites in the entire society at that time (the most wealthy, most capable, and most appealing), and the key to their success.

In contrast, Zhu Yuanzhang, Huang Taiji, Dorgon, who were in a similar situation, and a person who could not be named were the United Front Masters. Typically, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately opened a division to recruit corporals (at least in the early period), and the Qing army entered the customs. Later, when Li Zicheng was still looking for those available among the landlords, scholars, and officials, Dorgon directly ordered "All surrenders will be sealed, and all officials of the original Ming Dynasty will be reinstated", which directly caused Dashun to collapse.

Unite first and clean up these people? Go back and arrange again.

Let's not go too far, what Ryan wants to say is that as an emperor, it is an indispensable part of the absorption and appeasement of the elites. This is also the route for Malcador and the emperor to unify Terra, and Ryan does the same to the knights and nobles. , to combat the corrupt and backward, to absorb and promote the excellent, to heal the relatively mediocre.

However, there is also a problem with the elite monopolizing the middle-level organization, so Ryan has a second trick, "the army turns dry".

This move is naturally Guilliman’s policy. An important piece of the puzzle in the future blueprint of the Imperial Regent and the Thirteenth Brother is that the Ultramarines under his command will be transferred to local bureaucrats and enter the civil service after the war or retirement. .

Of course, with the exception of Guilliman, a large number of dynasties of the Celestial Dynasty of Ryan's previous life also did this. Typical examples are Qin, Tang, Ming and the founding of the current dynasty. They all used this method to immediately export a large number of giants through the transfer of a large-scale army. The amount of bureaucracy took control of the place extremely quickly.

Of course, the military transition has its own problems. First of all, this move can only happen once in a few decades. Moreover, the military system is different from the bureaucratic system. , and the natural problem of holding a group of hills. The army will definitely have hills, which is a natural decision. If it is in the military system over time, it will become vassalization and warlordization, while in the bureaucratic system, it will become clan.

The former is just a few big towns and the An-Shi Rebellion, the latter? Will be wholeheartedly.

After talking about it for such a long time, most of them can understand why Malcador and the Emperor do not agree with or even reject Guilliman's idea of ​​​​retired Space Marines turning to work, right?

guess?

But Ryan has no such worries. What time is it now? There have been several waves of veterans in underground places, and the militia organizations and military training levels in various places have risen immediately. The middle-level officers who retired from the army and entered the palace naturally formed a strong executive force. A strong bureaucracy, and their loyalty to Ryan is beyond question.

"Everything is preparing for the upcoming national military control and wartime cabinet." Ryan said seriously.

"Wartime... Cabinet?"

…………I am Guilliman Longevity, the Emperor’s healthier dividing line…………

Ryan and Surya entered the Palace of Fontainebleau to retreat, and the news spread throughout the kingdom and then gradually to the Old World.

The major forces in the old world responded differently to it, so I won’t go into detail here.

And in the waste city of the devil mouse, a great meeting is opening.

That was the meeting of the Skaven.

The Thirteenth Council of the Horned Rat is in session. This legendary council chamber and the greatest building of the Skaven have welcomed the arrival of the Horned Rat. It is the only Rat Prophet, Rat Warlord and Rat Patriarch. A place where I dare not make mistakes.

Horned Rat demanded that we must unite, yes~yes! At least in this room, we'll be united...on the surface.

The room was very dark, very dark, only the flames of entropy and the green light brought by the dimensional stones shrouded all the rats. Waiting, waiting to speak, the High Priest of Greyclaw, Kritsric, who symbolizes the will of the horned rat, sits on the first seat.

There are thirteen seats at the scene, except for the thirteenth seat, which is reserved for horned rats, the rest are all sitting rats.

The tenth seat belongs to the Pestilon clan, that is, the patriarch of the Plague clan, Negrich, who is sitting on it, breathing poisonous gas.

Pascriet, the general marshal of the magic rat army in the fourth seat, was excited. It was waiting for the big horned rat to give an order and the start of the great holy war of Skaven.

The sixth one belongs to the patriarch of the Morse clan, Gnodor. This patriarch is still heartbroken for the headhunter Quik who died under the Eight Peaks in the battle, and vowed to avenge Quik's revenge.

The third leader of the Eshin clan, Snick, was extremely quiet. The Night King would never refuse any entrustment, as long as there were enough Dimension Stones.

Wesker, the warlord of the seventh seat, remained silent, and it had the lowest status in the Council of Thirteen.

The rats remained silent, waiting for the High Priest of Greypaw, Kritslick, to speak, which represented the will of the Horned Rat.

I don't know how long it took, but the High Priest of Grey Claw, Kritsrick, finally spoke up. It slapped the table with its thin body and raised the Rat God Staff, an artifact symbolizing the identity of the Great Horned Rat: "This rat. Very angry, the consequences are very serious!"

"Ben Rat has made three orders, and must not sell weapons to clans that disrespect me, Scully family, Mosquita, I need an explanation!" Kritsrick said sharply, its shrill voice being heard by The rotation of the equipment in the room and the breath of the plague scattered a lot.

Genodo was a little uneasy for a while, but Mosquita was righteous: "yes~yes, Your Excellency High Priest, you did, did say so, said, but, but the price that the Moss clan and the Moss clan are willing to give, Very, very satisfying, what happened with you and Moss, Moss, has nothing to do with this seat?"

"yes~yes!" Womenkin, the patriarch of the Mord clan, nodded in agreement. It had all kinds of bizarre transformation marks all over its body, and the rats wondered whether it was more head-satman or more ogre now.

"Yes, yes, price is the most important thing." Negridge, the Patriarch of the Plague Clan, nodded quickly, he couldn't help but be ecstatic, go on? Yes, that's right, their four major families have been preparing for this for a long time!

"No mouse, no mouse will refuse." Essien night Snick nodded.

Crazy-Destruction Claw of the Grinning Clan slapped the table directly: "His Excellency, High Priest!"

"You, this group, this group of damned rats, dare to rebel against the will of the Big Horned Rat!" An incredible light flashed in the eyes of the Grey Claw High Priest Kritsrick, who raised his staff and screamed. : "In, in the name of the big horn, I declare that you all, all, diedie!"

After finishing speaking, Grey Claw High Priest Kritsrick immediately planned to cast a spell, and all the thirteen members of the council present were also prepared and began to plan how to divide more food and resources if they were victorious. and power.

However, just after the High Priest of Grey Claw, Cretus Lik, was about to call the Horned Rat God, it was suddenly enveloped in a pure green light, and what came out of its open mouth was not a spell, but a scream of pain, Its body swelled like a balloon and pulled out continuously, and a thick black mist spewed out of its seven orifices and many places, and lightning and flames enveloped Greyclaw High Priest Kritsric, and then Greyclaw High Priest in The surprised eyes of the mice exploded, and minced meat and black blood sprayed all over the body of everyone present.

The patriarchs of the four major families who had planned to go down the gauntlet were all stunned.

Isn't this in the script? !

crackling~

A green lightning blew out from the black fog, and it came up with a five-stroke whip. All the council members present were careless~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They didn't have time to do any evasion, they were all overturned on the spot, and then in the black fog Among them, a supreme being with beacon-like eyes stared straight at his blood descendants from the void.

Horned Rat, King's Landing!

The remaining eleven members all knelt down and listened to the Rat God's orders.

The horned rat's white skull face, eight giant horns and green eyes loomed in the black mist, and he let out a roar, like the sound of victory when millions of rats swarmed the world, and like the sound of victory when the world was engulfed by millions of rats. Like the sound of pain that the world is struggling with the plague, the horned rat stretched out its sharp claws engraved with the Skaven language and gently pressed it on the table.

"Trash, you don't need to live." The rat god's voice was the sound of nature, and all the councilors present suddenly "squeaked" in ecstasy. The rat **** obviously did not intend to hold them accountable, and soon a new gray prophet will be arrested. Take your pick and become the new Greypaw High Priest!

"The time has come, my children!" The horned rat's divine prophecy made the rats ecstatic.

"Let Skaven inherit the whole world!"

"yesyes!!!"*11

On this day, in the entire Skaven Demon City, the bells roared, and the giant bell struck thirteen times. The sound was so loud that even Tobalo and Miragliano near the Withered Swamp could be heard clearly.

The southern kingdom is still content with the status quo, and no one knows what is going on.

But the road to the surface had been opened, and hundreds of thousands of Skaven armies had been dispatched from the Demon Rat Capital.

One of these two armies, led by Marshal Pascriet of the Skaven Rat, attacked the capital of Tyrell, Miragliano.

The other is led by the chief war engineer of the Scully family, Mosquita's right claw, Ikert-Sharpclaw, and attacked Estalia!

Thirteen bells!

The holy war belonging to Skaven has begun!
