Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 525: Three Requirements of Members of Parliament

The former Duchy of Kanas is a more peculiar country in the eastern part of the Farea continent, not only because it is situated in the only savannah in the eastern part of the country, but even the title of Grand Duke of Kanas stands on its own. Seriously, the Grand Duke of Kanas did not inherit from his lineage, but several of the great tribes on the prairie fought against each other, and the chief of the great tribe that eventually won automatically became Grand Duke of Kanas...

For centuries now, every heirloom of the Grand Duke of Kanas has meant a bloody storm on the prairie, except that in the last 60 years, both heirlooms of the Grand Duke of Kanas have been very peaceful and have not caused any waves on the prairie. The reason is simple: 60 years ago, on the Kanas prairie, a hero emerged, Jamiead, chief of the Camido tribe. Dolbaj. Chmido.

This is Jamie-Ad. Dolbaj. Chief Chmido was said to have travelled with the merchants on most of the Farea continent when he was younger, and later returned to the tribe to become chief. He was the first tribal chief to introduce artillery guns on a large scale to equip light cavalry, and then used the power of artillery guns to continuously annex small tribes, eventually making the Camido tribe a large tribe and successfully taking the name of Grand Duke of Kanas when he was fifty-fourth.

After becoming Grand Duke of Kanas, this Jamiead... Dolbaj. As soon as Chieftain Khmeido rehabilitated the tribal nomadic customs, he began to build the Grand Duke of Bomalis in a risky place to habitually settle and cultivate the life of his tribe's people, and formed a merchant group to trade with neighbouring countries, handing him over to the Kingdom of Nasserley and sending him to school in the Kingdom of Nasserley at the age of 16.

Jamie-Ad. Dolbaj. Chief Chmido spent fourteen years in the position of Grand Duke of Kanas, and apart from building the Grand Duke of Bomalis and changing the living habits of the Chmido tribe, the rest of the time was spent heavily suppressing the remaining large tribes on the prairie, making them no longer capable of confronting the Chmido tribe. So when he was about to die, he let his son succeed to the seat of Grand Duke of Kanas, and no great tribe on the prairie had the strength and the courage to fight for the name of Grand Duke of Kanas.

His successor was the eldest son, Bridour, who went to the Royal Military Academy in the kingdom of Nasserley. Dolbaj. Chmido, he is also the second princess of the Principality of Kanas. Interestingly, he studied at the Royal Military Academy in the Kingdom of Nasserley, but what he did was more like a businessman. He spent two decades developing the Northern Gulf region as the most commercial seaport in the eastern region, making the Northern Gulf region the source of gold and silver for the Principality of Kanas. Commercial tax revenues alone are no less than the yields of two or three large gold mines each year.

This Brittle. Dolbaj. Grand Duke Camido, also known as Camido II, built a city off the coast of the northern Gulf, the capital of the northern Gulf region, Campaste. He spent most of his last time in the city of Campaster, so much so that it was regarded as the second capital of the Principality of Kanas. Twenty-two years in office, Khmeido II was sickened to death before his son inherited the throne of the Grand Duke of Kanas.

Though this successor, Grand Duke Kanas III, did not have his grandfather's plan, nor was he as wise and resolute as his father, he was also the master of accomplishment in the appraisal of outsiders, and had more than enough control over the entire Kanas Plains. The only mistake he made was that he should not have tied the Principality of Kanas to the wrecking ship of the Kingdom of Nasserly, which now led to its demise. He had to go into exile with his family to the Kingdom of Hicks.

Twenty-four years after his reign, Khmeido III's most glaring highlight was in the First Eastern Regional War, when he lost his mind and used all the last light cavalry of the Principality to raid three field regiments that invaded the kingdom of Ovilas in the Kanas Prairie, winning by almost 200,000 horses! Because of the magnitude of the Kanas Prairie, which forced the Kingdom of Ovieras to persevere, a truce peace agreement had to be signed with the Kingdom of Nasri and the Principality of Kanas to bring the first war in the eastern region to an end.

These words were introduced by General Albert, who came to greet Marshal Claude and Bolognick, who sat in the town of Kanas Prairie for more than six months, turning the seized documents of the Principality of Kanas over to the sky when it was all right. He couldn't do that either, mainly trying to find some information in these literature about horse bandits who came and went without a trace to see if they were nomads of some tribe disguised as horse bandits...

“The Principality of Kanas does not divide local counties because the grasslands are too large to remember the boundary line even if they do. So the Principality of Kanas is divided into four sub-districts and one sub-district, most famously the Northern Gulf region, the seaport and three towns, which are business districts. The second is the nominal capital of the Principality, Grand Duke Bomalis, which is an agricultural cultivation area and the largest food base in the Principality, mainly with three rivers that can be used for farming and irrigation.

The third community is the Likumata Hill District, the mineral resource site of the Principality of Kanas, except that there are no gold and silver copper mines, only three small and medium-sized iron mines and some stone mines, and a large open-air black stone mine, the coal mine you call Claude. The black stone produced here is of good quality and there is very little flue gas, and the people of the Principality of Kanas are pressed into blackstone cakes with black stone powder mixed with earth for cooking water and heating.

The last community is the green mountain area in the southwest direction of the prairie, which is relatively remote. That was the aristocratic enclosure of the Principality of Kanas, where I took two regiments and swept it up. I found that the principals there were indigent bells ringing, and that the loot seized was not worth 30,000 gold kroner, which was a remote part of the countryside. As for that region, it refers to the Kanas Prairie, which counts as a grassland area whenever there is no end to the grass. ”

General Albert continued his introduction with his muffled mouth pointing to the prairie, and Marshal Bolognick loved this endless view of the prairie, with his horseshoe trampling a half-foot of wild grass like a giant green velvet carpet. Zema ran around a little bit and came back and asked, "Where are we going? Grand Duke of Beaumaris or North Bay? ”

General Albert answered naturally: "Of course it's Northern Bay, sunshine, beaches, food, and beautiful, understanding girls. This is the best time to enjoy the water and summer, we can rest by the sea for a few days and wait for the arrival of the Ironclad fleet. You know, the water here is blue, not like that of the Nubian continent, it's dark red.

Although we know that the waters are all the same, the continent of Nubicia is a mineral that turns the waters into red, but it feels completely different in blue and dark red waters. To me, this is paradise. If it weren't for the occasional harassment of flyy horse bandits, I'd really like to spend the rest of my life here... "

“Really as good as you say?” Claude smiled.

General Albert's sworn shouting: “Of course it's true, I didn't know why Camidore II built the city until I arrived in Campaster City. He stayed in the North Bay until he died and didn't return to Grand Duke of Bomalis. The Grand Duke of Bomalis is more like a military fortress than the city of Campaste, where the stone fortress is cold and dark and uninhabitable. So I also set up a command headquarters in Campaster City, the Grand Duke of Bomaris, where a light mounting camp was stationed..."

Marshal Claude and Boronique, accompanied by General Albert, arrived on 2 September in the city of Campaste in the northern Gulf region, which, as General Albert so strongly bragged, is indeed a scenic seaside city with specialty goods from the countries of the Farea continent, as well as many specialty goods from the colonies of the countries of the western coast of the Nubian continent, where commodities from both continents exchanged and traded to create a large city with a very busy atmosphere of pelagic trade.

“This is really a nice place.” Claude applauded that he loved the free business atmosphere here. The only thing that doesn't feel right is that the city was built without anticipation of its future development, so much so that the entire city's houses and dwellings, as well as the narrow and compact road traffic, are not spacious enough, although they may seem sophisticated, giving a sense of a modest pattern.

The barracks were deployed outside the city, Claude and Marshal Bolonik resided in the main city hall, and while the Ironclad fleet had not arrived for the next three days, Claude was busy organizing promotion and sealing ceremonies in the Temporary Legion, and it was only after all the rewards for promotion had been completed that the generals who had done their part in the Temporary Legion had disbanded the Temporary Legion and regrouped it into the Thunder Division I and Division II.

Two days later, General Bitchklin and McJackie took the Thunder Division III and the newly formed Thunder Division IV with them, and the families escorting the new officers and soldiers who had joined the Thunder Division IV also arrived in Campus City to stay in the completed camp. The Ironclad fleet accompanied the arrival of all parliamentarians and honorary nobles of the Kingdom from the Overseas Autonomous Territories and, in conjunction with the Ocean Transport Fleet, delivered a shipment of armaments and grass supplies to the Thunderclad Regiment and the Rock Cloud Regiment. On return, the families of these Thunderclad Fourth Division officers and soldiers would be transported to the Overseas Autonomous Territories for naturalization.

Claude was busy for two days pushing the military work at hand to McJackie and his own little brother, and then he and General Albert dragged Marshal Bolognick and General Beachcline to the beach for a day. As General Albert said, it is true that staying in blue water is more pleasant and pleasant than being in red water, and playing with water is more painful. Just as they were preparing to turn around for dinner, a glimmer of green smoke appeared in the distant sky, and the Ironclad fleet finally arrived in the northern bay.

Claude suddenly discovered that his observations of humanity were not yet at home.

Claude has been pessimistic about the future of the Overseas Autonomous Territories since Frederick I issued a seal on 1 June in Kings. He believed that humanity was inherently selfish. His Majesty had resorted to the mastermind of sealing up hereditary family territory. Those members of parliament from overseas autonomous territories would surely be knocked out of their heads by the large pie falling from the sky. They would surely all dump their families and take out their bottom to promote themselves to the title in order to obtain a hereditary family territory. Claude believes Frederick I and Wang Tingli will think so in their hearts...

It is the Farea continent that is at the heart of the world as opposed to the overseas autonomous territories. If the legislators of these overseas autonomous territories and the honorary nobility of the kingdom were to acquire a hereditary family territory in the eastern region, they would certainly focus their energies on the development of that family territory. As a result, it is clear that when these parliamentarians and the honorary nobles of the Kingdom are busy living in their traditional family territories, the Overseas Autonomous Territories lose these strongholds and do not attack themselves, and it will not be long before the Overseas Autonomous Territories are restored to the kingdom's direct overseas jurisdiction.

That was the idea that Claude had been burying in his heart, and he had never believed that the members of parliament of the overseas autonomous territories would all be selfless and consider the future of the autonomous territories. The reason why he and General Bolognick did not choose a family territory beforehand was mainly to let the parliamentarians of the Overseas Autonomous Territories know that they and the generals who had established military merit were willing to join them, to embrace the warmth of the group and to acquire His Majesty's hereditary family territory to seal themselves up, but that they were opposed to putting everything on the hereditary family territory, thus ignoring the prospects for the development of the Overseas Autonomous Territories.

It's just that Claude forgot the most crucial and most important thing, to be able to strike a home barefoot for herself in such a barbaric place as the Overseas Domicile, which is not an old-fashioned and thought-provoking generation for the legislators of these overseas autonomous territories who are prestigious and powerful families in the local area.

On their journey to the North Bay, they had already agreed that everyone in the traditional family territory would want it, but the overseas autonomous territories were the fundamental place for all, and must not be abandoned. Most importantly, the members of parliament of these Overseas Autonomous Territories are mostly civilians or businessmen, but hereditary family territories are not particularly important compared to the industries and prestige of the Overseas Autonomous Territories, as well as commercial connections.

This is actually a misunderstanding between civilian businessmen and traditional aristocrats. For traditional aristocrats, obtaining a patrimonial family territory is the most important thing, at any cost. For parliamentarians from overseas autonomous territories, however, from a businessman's perspective and perspective, they did not value the gains on the land, nor did they view the right of the people to be deprived of their lives and their lives. They value business interests and family prestige more than power...

General Skerry spoke plainly to Claude et al., saying that what they were most worried about on their journey was that the two regiments of Likung Sgt. had taken family territory from His Majesty one step at a time. That would create contradictions and mistrust in the political union of autonomous territorial assemblies and military districts, without which no one could bargain with His Majesty. We were relieved until we landed and discovered that you had not acquired any hereditary family territory from His Majesty.

Claude sort of let go of his mind, and everybody's aware of that, and that's the best part. General Albert, however, was very interested in what General Scully meant by bargaining with His Majesty. General Scully said that members of parliament in the Autonomous Territories had counted a bill when they were on board, believing that it would cost 300,000 gold kroner to move from Baron Emeritus to Baron Heritage, and that it would be inexpensive to get a family territory at a further 100,000 land selection fees, so he hoped that His Majesty would make a compromise.

Although each member of parliament of the Overseas Autonomous Territories is able to pay 400,000 gold kroner, no one can calm down if one hundred and twelve members of parliament of the entire Autonomous Territory, together with those who have already been honoured as noblemen, are able to scratch over 40 million gold kroner from them.

Everyone feels very uncomfortable that they have struggled for most of their lives to hand it over to His Majesty and the King's Court in exchange for a land they don't know how many years to return to. In particular, the acquisition of this internship family territory will require investment in the territory, which will certainly cost a great deal. So it was agreed on board that, if His Majesty refused to make a compromise, we would all reject the seal of the family territory together and wear the title of Baron Emeritus of the Kingdom.

A man who refuses indiscriminately to grant a seal to His Majesty is nothing but a small matter, which can be totally disregarded. But if all the members of parliament and the honorary nobility of the kingdom of the Autonomous Territories did so, it would be a big deal, and a compromise of over 20 million gold kroner would be a huge sum. I am sure that if His Majesty did not agree, he would not be able to sleep himself. Anyway, the Overseas Autonomous Territories are on the Nubian mainland, and His Majesty and the Royal Court are simply trying to avenge the loss of one of the members of Parliament's hair.

As businessmen and owners, parliamentarians were concerned about what output was in the Territory or what workshops could be set up, rather than wondering how to squeeze the last copper coin from the Territory, which was where they thought differently from traditional aristocrats.

With a patrimonial territory in the east, parliamentarians also need to consider security issues. It is not a matter of securing a patrimonial family territory, and the loss of this patrimonial family territory as a result of territorial wars and mismanagement among the territorial nobles is common. Parliamentarians therefore hope that all their hereditary family territories will be enclosed in a single area and that an alliance will be formed to guarantee the security of all family territories.

“Tell me about your specific requirements.” Claude wonders what the senators think.

Speaker Bennett drained the fruit wine from the glass with the rest of his hand, saying, "We have three demands, one of which is that His Majesty place all the territories of our Overseas Autonomous Territories that are eligible to enclose hereditary family territories in one area so that everyone can watch and help. The second is that all expenses are discounted at least, otherwise we reject the territorial seal, and we have no choice but to do so. Finally, our sealed territory needs a seaport to facilitate our contacts and exchanges with the Overseas Autonomous Territories..."

Claude shook his head: "It is unfortunate that there is no longer a seaport in the Nasseri region and an area of hereditary family territory that can accommodate all the people of the Overseas Autonomous Territories and is occupied first by the nobles of other kingdoms. ”

According to statistics, the seven hundred and sixty-eight territorial nobles that the Kingdom has now sealed, although occupying one third of the total area of the Nasseri region, are scattered among twenty-eight local counties and occupy good places. It is indeed difficult to arrange all the enclosed territories of the Overseas Autonomous Territories together, and at the very least it is necessary to relocate more than a dozen territorial nobles already occupying the territory in order to free up space.

Speaker Bennett looked out the window at the stunning view of the bay and said thoughtfully: “Actually, I think it's nice here too...”
