Rise In Calradia

For Prince Harau, the past few days are really uncomfortable.

When I first arrived at Veluga, everything was fresh. If it weren't for his father's instructions when he left Palavin, he could completely treat it as a trip. Feel the southern style here, and taste the beauties here, how pleasant it would be.

However, he also understood that Veluga was not only rich, but also related to whether the royal family's influence and strength could be restored. When Von Byron, a little baron, took Veluga, in addition to praising him in the country, there was more questioning of the king. A baron took the 2ooo mercenary to complete what the king had spent a lot of manpower and material resources to do for more than ten years, which caused the king to be seriously questioned.

Of course, the sensible knew that Byron was also in the light of the king. If King Haraus hadn't consumed Rodok's power as it is now, he wouldn't have the chance to go deep into Rodok and capture Veluga. But unfortunately, for those nobles who opposed the king, this can be completely ignored, as long as they scold the king vigorously.

In this case, King Harous attaches great importance to the letter sent by Byron. He knew very well that Feng Byron wanted to monopolize this big city, and he also knew that this kid did not have such a big appetite to swallow such a large area of ​​land. So he sent his close relatives to the south with an elite force, hoping to stabilize Feng Byron, stabilize the form of the South, and control the land he had been staring at for more than ten years.

His father sent him one of his most powerful knights, Konis, as his escort, and chose another 3 noble knight officers with the title of baron to lead 21 knights, 3oo heavy cavalry, 5oo infantry and 5oo qualified infantry. His crossbowmen, as well as a sufficient number of sergeants and snipers, accompanied him to the south.

Such a lineup is comparable to the entire military power of a town count. Prince Harau believes that the little baron who took Veluga by mercenary and tricks will be terrified, and he will give up the city and stay in the countryside. Manage the land given to him by the king and enjoy the huge wealth scavenge from the city. The prince himself became the master of this land. Before he left, he also thought about how to treat Byron. If Byron is obedient, as the heir to the kingdom, he is still happy to turn him into his own helper and assist himself when the kingship is declining. , If Byron is still alive after he takes the throne, he doesn't mind adding another earl family to the kingdom.

So instead of Byron, he is more concerned about how to take care of the army horses and war horses brought by his troops in the south to get enough fodder and care.

However, this idea changed several times during his journey south, because the further south, the more rumors about Byron became more and more detailed.

And what surprised him and the knights most was that when the southern peasants saw their high war horses and heavy cavalry, their first reaction was to ask if they were Byron's troops.

Most of these farmers are illiterate, and it makes sense not to know the royal symbol of Swadia. However, they so naturally equated a force that had never been seen before and was very powerful with Von Byron. The information contained therein made the knights feel deeply disturbed.

And the fact is just as they feared, Feng Byron did not hide his strength when he greeted the prince, and the Palavin knights also saw those equally well-armed, well-trained, gangster and murderous. Coexisting mercenary cavalry, and hundreds of mercenaries armed with halberds and logging teams.

The rumors they heard were true. The mercenaries under Von Byron were strong and numerous. At that moment, Konniss immediately, their troops might not be able to suppress Byron, so the Prince Harau still extended his gratitude. When he showed the arrogant attitude toward Byron like the monarch according to the original plan, he immediately stopped the prince, comforted the kind words to Byron, and gave the prince a step down.

The episode of the banquet that night also caused the prince a headache. One of his knights did not look down on Byron and deliberately ordered his soldiers to throw Byron’s peony flag on the ground at will. This is true for any nobleman. The great disrespect is a provocation to this family.

Byron was very angry and demanded that the two soldiers be punished, as well as the knight as the commander. However, although the prince asked the knight to apologize, he only reprimanded a few words for the sake of shortcomings, and there was no other punishment. Byron was dissatisfied with this, and left the banquet hall on the excuse of being unwell.

Byron was absent, and many things that could have been resolved at the banquet that night were all delayed. When the prince’s **** took over the city’s defense at the prescribed time the next morning, all of their troops by Byron were gone. Both the city’s defense soldiers and the training troops left the city last night. Even the militiamen and prisoners who maintained law and order were taken away by Byron.

Without their help, these elite troops in Palavin can only learn about the city from the beginning, make patrols, and replenish the evacuated armory at their own expense.

What's more terrible is the financial report that the officials handed to the prince. The low taxes on it made him hard to believe that the income of a large southern city with a population of tens of thousands is not as good as that of a village on the outskirts of Paravin! After careful inquiry, he learned that before his arrival, Feng Byron slashed taxes, cutting his original income ten times, and cutting all kinds of taxes to the extreme in exchange for the support of the locals.

Of course, Konis reminded the little prince to wake up, telling him that this was probably the trouble that Byron had left him on purpose.

Increasing taxes may annoy the local nobles and people, but if it does not increase, then this poor income will not be able to sustain the daily expenses of the prince alone, let alone the expenses of other 100 people.

He understood that before he arrived in this city, Byron had always regarded Veruga as his own, and he was both a protector, an ally, and an aggressor for him. This bloodless war actually started before he arrived, but his actions made Byron choose a relatively bad method.

After taking over Veluga, Prince Harau summoned the more important nobles in the city, figured out their deal with Byron, and then compensated for them to some extent, and taxed them with the fewest possible enemies. Rise back to the original level.

And the part of supplying those nobles would naturally have to be recovered from the merchants and farmers in Veluga.

Most of Byron's previous regulations on reducing commercial taxes and rural taxes were cancelled by the prince. In his hands, the agricultural taxes and tariffs, which are to be divided into the royal family’s financial resources, have all been tax deducted. This is obviously aimed at him. Now is the time for a headache. The problems of those civilians are not within the consideration of His Royal Highness, so he cut off all their preferential policies at once.

He made a big mistake. In Swadia, peasants are the easiest to be exploited, so the Greenwood Robbers are not just killing them. And those merchants of the same background as common people, although they have a certain status, they still have to obey the nobles and become the "pockets" of the nobles talking and laughing. Lords in most of Swadia took oppressing peasants and foreign merchants as a habit, and Prince Harau was also deeply influenced by it.

He didn't know how important the industrial and commercial exhibitions were on the land of Rodok. He didn't even know how deeply the local farmers and citizens rebelled against the tradition in Veluga, the large southern granary. Their strength is far stronger than those of their counterparts in the north.
