(Part 2)

After Kawad's son, Old Kus, ascended the throne, he became dissatisfied with the nobles again. In order to solve the problem of the army, Old Kus went to investigate himself, but found that his "army" was actually almost an empty shell.

The nobles should theoretically assume the obligation to provide the country with army, but they used inferior products as good people all day long and often used peasants who had no training at all, resulting in extremely fragile infantry.

Even the cavalry that the Persians have always relied on have various problems: some soldiers received only one-tenth of the salary they received was deducted by the nobles; some people received subsidies for cavalry, but they didn't even have war horses and no money.

I knew where I went; some nobles were nominally cavalry, but Mr. Kus went to check in person, but found that he couldn't even ride a horse.

Some nobles also hire cheap nomadic riders and then transfer them to the king as "heavy cavalry" to earn the difference from them. The iron armored cavalry that the Persians have always been proud of have become like this...

Old Kus then tried to attack the great nobles again. In addition to the priests and emerging civil servants, he also successfully won over the support of the lower military nobles, namely "Dehegan", and obtained heavy cavalry through them.

With these support, Mr. Kuss investigated the land across the country and made a book. He abolished the tax-free privileges of the nobles and priests, and required the owners of the land to pay taxes according to the real estate. He also sent his confidants to go deep into the conduct of various nobles.

The province, counts the population, surveys agricultural and commercial income, and establishes unified taxation.

Through the efforts of Mr. Kus and his successor Hormuz, this system was finally implemented. The father and son built some large-scale water conservancy projects to farm the reclaimed state-owned land for farmers. The tax pressure of ordinary people was in this process.

It has also been reduced.

Of course, this once again aroused strong dissatisfaction among the nobles.

Everyone could tolerate the military affairs before. But after taxation, it would not work. The great nobles gradually could not bear it and colluded again to accuse the "King of Kings of Kings for forcing the People's Property" and plotted to rebel and overthrow the King.

.

The conflict between the two sides completely broke out during the Hormuz administration.

On this basis, if the combat power is stronger, of course it will be better - the faster the chaos ends, the less damage it will cause to the country. Suppressing this aristocratic rebellion should be the same as this idea.

But Guo Kang understood what Basil meant.

Guo Kang always felt that his adoptive father praised him too much. But when he thought about what he said, he felt that there was nothing he could do.

They were uniformly awarded the title of "Roman Knight" and did not need to pass any lord as an intermediary to be granted directly from the Khanate. Usually, they were subject to the jurisdiction of the provincial government officials in their location.

His son, Cous II, rushed out of Rome, and later borrowed Roman soldiers and defeated the rebellious nobles before he was able to restore the rebellious nobles.

Judging from the results, the reform in Serbia was indeed very successful. Since the taxes were reduced by more than half, the local people even had the slogan of "removing the nobles, Rome is great" calling on everyone to lead the way for the legion and arrest those who tried to escape into the mountains

noble.

The profit-making new knight class also became the strongest supporters of the Khanate - they knew very well that as long as the nobles fought back and divided the aristocratic territory, they would definitely be the first to be finished.

Of course, other hostile countries are not so welcome.

In order to reassure the locals, Basil, who was not married, directly married the daughter of a Serbian knight on the way to march. This is also the only queen who was not a Greek in the Purple Treasure period.

Khanting believed that the sins committed by these people made Brother Tian, ​​who once atoned for them, died once in vain. Therefore, they must use the same method to cleanse their sins with their own blood to be forgiven by Brother Tian.

The Khanate believed that the Persian problem faced by the Queen Mother still needed Roman solutions in the end. Basil planned and used extremely cruel methods to deal with these former "Andai" who betrayed the oath. The nobles who participated in the rebellion were all turned upside down.

Then, strangled to death with a stone hanging on his neck.

She was not very conspicuous in the Khanate. She had always taken care of her husband and children in obscurity and rarely participated in political affairs. It is said that when Guo Di died, Basil was still on the front line of Syria. The ministers invited the queen out and asked her to preside over the court meeting.

After the war, the Legionnaires erected thousands of crosses on the avenue to Belgrade, which shocked the people around them. These relics were still visible until Guo Kang was taken around by his adoptive father a few years ago.

arrive.

Basil, Guo Di and others formulated a detailed set of rules that stipulated the administrative, military power, and duty of serving the knights to obey management.

If you don’t continue to implement it, you will stop trying it out and have no effect; if you continue to implement it, you will sooner or later fight with these people.

The adoptive father praised Guo Kang's analysis very much and said that he was much better than himself. At that time, at the meeting, Basil asked him what he thought, but he couldn't say anything useful. Dahan was speechless and confused.

How could their descendants become like this? If Guo Kang was present at that time, he would definitely have performed better than him.

Thanks to the full preparations before, the army set out from Dadu and New Romania took more than three months to completely destroy the mob-studded aristocratic coalition forces.

As a result, a sudden appearance of Guo Daxia made the Khan unable to bear it. It was estimated that Basil III was full of "Where is my cultural consultant? Why did it become like this?"

Guo Kang himself actually has no confidence. He feels that his "time traveler bonus" is too literate, and his cultural level and intelligence are not outstanding here - when he was teased by his adopted mother, his

He is not much better than a honest father.

As a result, facing the documents sent, the queen looked at Guo Di's previous seat and cried on the throne, saying that Old Peter was not here. What should I do if something such an important thing goes wrong?

Guo Gai, the ancestor of the Guo family, and later the leader Guo Di, were all like "Zhuge Liang" characters in the Khanate. It can be said that before, his family has always been famous for being far-sighted and upright.

However, for Guo Daxia, this is enough.

Later, this incident spread and even became an allusion. Everyone used "Old Peter is gone" to describe the dilemma that no one could make the decision.

In the mind of the adoptive father, uneducated people doing other messy research is called not doing their jobs; but his family Kang'er, at least a cultural person of the same level as his father-in-law and his wife, was doing some theological research, which was called elegant pleasure. Moreover, he

Smart, maybe it's really useful?

In fact, Guo Kang's sister Guo Ponu is more like her father. She is also the kind of person who is more...simple, but she is very good at beating. Unfortunately, Guo Daxia doesn't pursue his children's feelings of "favoring oneself".

Instead, I think about being educated every day.

It can't be said that the brains of Tuohuan and others can be faster than those of Tuohuan and others, even if they are educated, right? Then the requirements are too low...

Moreover, the Khanate has been promoting everywhere, only targeting these rebellious state-level nobles, and not pursuing knights and civilians who were held hostage and participated. As long as they are willing to abide by the regulations, the knights can even retain their own territory and privileges.

Guo Kang even suspected that this was the conflict between his sister and him.

However, the queen lived a very long life. After Basil passed away, she moved to a nun in Dadu for rest. Maybe she had a calm personality and a good temper. Since then, she has lived a peaceful life and is still there until now.

.

Based on their performance, the state will also conduct assessments and pay salaries as subsidies according to their contributions.

A knight who performs well can be mobilized to a wealthier fief and even directly serve in the Khanate. Since many people are not rich in their territory, as compensation for reducing some of their tax privileges, the Khanate will carefully examine the output of their territory.

Reduce the number of entourages and infantry that need to be provided according to the original laws and reduce their financial pressure.

All the people above the wheel in their family were declared guilty and were crucified on the cross according to the doctrine of the Purple Tent State Church and the Church of God.

On the other hand, the Khan was very generous to those who surrendered in time. Dozens of fast-legged nobles were pardoned and rewarded for their manors near Dadu to move to this richer place.

At this time, no matter what force you borrowed before, it is hard to say whether it is reliable. The most important ability is to fight and suppress rebellion.

The reform was not completely implemented. The only benefit was that although many people thought Hormuz was a cruel and stupid ruler, his reputation among the people was unexpectedly very good. Even in the era of Tianfang Sect, there was still no

Few stories are circulated.

Hormuz was much more determined than his grandfather. In order to suppress the rebellion, he did not hesitate to purge the nobles and high priests on a large scale. It is said that more than 13,000 people were executed. However, the king's army was weak and could not bear the battle and was once again on the battlefield.

After defeating, Hormuz himself also died in the palace revolution.

It is also because of this that Guo Daxia actually attaches great importance to "cultural people". For the family, his lifelong ideal is to have another cultural and strategic person like Guo Gai in his family.

The adoptive father complained that he doubted whether these Persians had some problems and why they lost their links when the critical momentum came.

He only has requirements for Guo Kang's practice, and basically does not restrict other matters. He also thinks that this is a good thing for Guo Kang to do equipment, steam, etc.

He had no prejudice against these people. For the Purple Horde, being able to fight was the foundation of everything. If he couldn't survive, he would have no culture.

Although Queen Mother Helena's tricks seem useful, they are actually facing the same dilemma as the kings of the kings back then. Of course, she can provoke internal struggles among the nobles, use the contradictions of different forces to rush to the point of

The direction they need is guided. But even if the nobles are stupid and react too slowly, the changes in their interests will sooner or later be felt by them.

The final resolution of the "Anda War" is just like what Basil said, relying on absolute force.

The disposal of the nobles shocked the surrounding Poland, Hungary and others. The Khan analyzed later that it was believed that this punishment made the barbarians very scared and felt that Rome was back.

The countries formed a crusade again, threatening to capture Dadu and eliminate heresy. However, this made the Khanate even more united after the civil war. Even the Greek nobles were so scared that they joined the army and wanted to defend their homes.

Basil himself also made a name for himself when he counterattacked Hungary and proved his theory.

I haven't known how to get out of context, so I have to write a little longer this time...
