Chapter 562 Turning

Of course, regarding the chaos in the Northern Netherlands, the New Kingdom army was initially invited by the local princes to enter on the pretext of mediating the war and restoring order. But now that it has been excommunicated by the Holy See in Rome, it has been declared an unforgivable crime.

The heresy, the incarnation of the devil crawling out of hell.

Although it will not be possible to go straight to the city of Rome for a while and invite the Holy See to come over for a good Bible analysis and exorcism; but it does not prevent the Royal Army from taking the name of the Holy See/Universal Church in the next time.

Under the jurisdiction of the Central Government, the three major bishoprics in the Netherlands operated.

So just three days later, Roermont, the capital of the Diocese of Gelderland and a city with a population of 80,000, was surrounded by a sea of ​​smiling golden sun flags and blue-shirted soldiers; and tsunamis erupted from time to time.

The sound trembled and trembled, like a crumbling island.

In fact, when the First Legion entered the Bishopric/Country of Lower Gelderland, Generaliti, as members of the "Three Bishops' Alliance", and the Bishopric of Lower Gelderland and the Bishopric of Utrecht were still further away.

The princely states of Friesland, which were at war far away, all sent diplomatic envoys to negotiate.

However, the New Kingdom Army, which intervened relatively strongly, had different demands. Therefore, two days later, the First Army was in the city of Breda at the border of the Bishopric of Utrecht and the Bishopric of Generaliti, and hurriedly returned to the city.

The division's Bishops' Alliance forces encountered each other and a multi-party battle broke out.

The First Legion, which had an overall advantage in terms of the number of soldiers, equipment, training and morale, almost overwhelmingly defeated the allied forces of the Bishops' State who rushed back; while the fanaticism and sacrifice incited by religious beliefs were strengthened by muskets, cannons and

There are no miracles in front of a grenade.

With the power of steel and gunpowder, it was completely torn to pieces and destroyed. After the body of the most crazy and desperate part who always shouted the name of God and the Holy See was mortal, the remaining soldiers of the Theocracy were forced to quickly

The situation "cooled down" and turned into a full-blown chaos.

The only possible consoling highlight and episode are the hundreds of knights from the three bishoprics. At the last moment when the coalition forces were in disarray, they activated their bloodline power to protect their patriarchs, facing the cannons and muskets.

A desperate charge launched without hesitation.

Therefore, after defeating half of the members one after another, Jiang Tian could not help but be moved and ordered to stop the artillery bombardment; instead, he dispatched the special attack knights and vanguard knights of the New Kingdom Army, bringing capture equipment and equipment, and tried to capture the remaining soldiers as much as possible.

All the knights below may be captured.

Because, based on the experience of conquest and reform in the kingdom, the knights who have been trained by this kind of local church since childhood are undoubtedly die-hard devout people and fanatic believers. But once they are refuted by others with doctrines and principles, they can easily turn into staunch believers.

And the fearless Kingdom loyalist.

It also has the right to operate free trade, mining and construction workshops in the above-mentioned areas without customs duties; to build roads, establish inns and post offices to facilitate communication; and to have priority in some judicial trials, mainly for major acts of rebellion and aliens.

Related cases.

The origin of the name Holland (nd) originally meant "a land of dense forests." Therefore, most of the history of the lowland princes was basically to open up seaside forests, tidal flats, salt marshes, and sandbanks through dike projects.

The long journey out of ports, cities and towns.

As the losers, the fate of the three bishoprics was also different. The Bishop of Gelderland, who lost his territory and army, fled the battlefield and went into exile directly. The Bishop of Udalecht, who resisted the most resolutely, returned to his territory.

He tried to gather a crowd to fight again, but died unexpectedly.

With the complete collapse of the Three Bishops' Alliance, and a group of Northern Netherlands princes led by the County of Friesland, they also joined the ranks of the kingdom's vassals (states) and vassals (territories); Sealand, which has experienced hardship and turmoil,

The kingdom also expanded its territory and authority again many years later.

This time, he even received news that the armies of the three counties of Holland, Zeeland and Flanders had been defeated again in the battle against the British invaders and asked for help. In the defense battle of Antwerp that had just broken out, the princes

The coalition forces were actually defeated separately by the British.

The remaining territory of the Bishopric of Utrecht is designated as the Northern Special Military District/Province of the Kingdom of Zealand; composed of many redemption companies following the First Legion, as well as young supplementary companies recruited from the Netherlands along the way,

It was also garrisoned by a combined regiment composed of part of the African cavalry.

As the first Earl of the Netherlands, he was also known as the last Viking hundreds of years ago; during the chivalry war between the Silver People (Serlis merchants) and the Holy Kingdom, many parties that revived the Roman Empire took turns to kill and kill him.

After being attacked, the leader Dirk finally converted to God to protect himself.

As the Battle of Breda came to an end quickly, the chaotic Northern Netherlands also ushered in a long-lost peace. But under this general peace, it was accompanied by a series of liquidations and inspections, as well as territories.

Divide, replace and merge to form a new order led by the kingdom.

In this process of transformation and construction of a new order, many Dutch nobles, vassals, vassals, and knights who followed the New Kingdom Army also received corresponding titles, titles and territories, fiefs, annuities, and other rewards.

It is also further bound to the chariot.

Because it is located in the golden waterway between the sea and the land, it is also the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, and it has entered the Atlantic coast and even the traditional ocean currents/robbery routes/trade lines around the Mediterranean; therefore, there is a constant flow of merchants, pirates, and northern plunderers.

It became the initial foundation.

And Dilke led the only remaining Viking longship group on the mainland, and established the famous Egmont Monastery in this estuary full of swamps and sandbars. It has taken root for generations. As a bridgehead to resist invasion, it has also served as a bridgehead for many lowlands.

The ancestral origin of the princes and their vassal families.

Vikings have completely become a historical term.

According to the Brussels Treaty signed between the Royal Government and the Dutch princes in the Principality of Brabant, the Kingdom of Zealand will uniformly carry out long-term garrisoning, construction of forts, declaration of war, armed passage, etc. in the territories of these vassals/senior vassals.

A range of military and diplomatic powers.

Of course, after peace gradually returned to most areas of the Western Continent, and the raiders who ravaged the north receded one after another, turning into settled tribes/barbarian countries along the Baltic and North Sea coasts, commercial activities and trade routes on land and sea were also inevitable.

Be active and prosperous.

Bishop Generalitti, whose territory remained relatively intact, suddenly announced the surrender of Kaicheng after escaping back to Hertogenbosch, the capital of the territory, and accepted any disposal by the royal army. Therefore, Bishop Generalitti also

was preserved and became a vassal of the kingdom at a certain price.

The daily mission of this joint corps stationed in the northern special province is to, with the cooperation and collaboration of the Dutch princes, clear out all kinds of deformed beasts and aliens that roam the wilds everywhere; and even form a crusade to destroy and eradicate today's

There are endless anomalies in the Northland.

Next, Jiang Tian took the newly victorious division with high morale, as well as the large military expenditures donated by the princes of the Northern Netherlands, and the relatively sufficient supplies collected and purchased locally; he turned his final attention to the only Ned who was still in the war.

In the coastal area of ​​Holland, there are four lowland princes countries headed by the Netherlands.

As for the Bishopric of Utrecht, which had the most resistance and turmoil in the end, the five cities under its jurisdiction bordering the County of Friesland were divided into a viscounty; and Sofonte, the younger brother of Dutch, the current Earl of Friesland

, and together they swore to become vassals and vassals of the kingdom.

In the end, some of the Vikings who were forced into desperation and were unwilling to surrender and convert concentrated on plundering ships of all sizes along the coast. Like a tragic epic story, they lit up the drinking halls in all the settlements and sang

The ancient songs disappeared into the vast mist of the Atlantic Ocean.

In other words, they have a large and outstanding fleet and sailors, and they also have maritime armed forces and river escorts that dare to compete with the British Isles or the Norman tribes in the north. But what follows is

The defense forces of city-states and towns in various places are seriously biased.

But then, the other two bishoprics did not have such "good luck". After Bishop Gelderland went into exile, the upper echelons of the church in his territory were almost collectively exiled by the kingdom, and were replaced by the joint meeting of the kingdom's bishops' conferences.

, elected a new bishop and led the ministry to take over.

As the only remaining descendants of the Vikings on the Western Continent, the lowland princes also quickly forgot the bravery and bloodiness of their ancestors, as well as the piety of their initial conversion to the church, and completed the transformation of their true nature as merchants. This also led to the formation of the lowland princes' armies that had been inherited from past generations.

, it’s really hard to put into words.

The other part of the Vikings fled along the inland waterways opened by their ancestors in history to the Cuman grassland, which was difficult for the countries of the Western Continent to hunt down, and eventually merged with the local Slavic natives who were enslaved by the Khazar Khanate.

From this, the biggest internal trouble called the Ross tribe was born.

Of course, compared to those in the interior of the Netherlands, most of the territory is cold and barren or covered with mountains and hills, and the so-called highland princes can only rely on mining and logging as their economic pillars; the coastal/lowland princes headed by the Dutch Countess have the ability to

Quite a strong business atmosphere and characteristics.

Even after the current Bishop Generalitti announced his abdication and entered the local monastery, the New Kingdom Army then selected a respected elder from a monastery among the clergy of the local church and monastery to replace Generalitti.

Duties and Authority of the Bishop.

Among them, there are small but elite territorial vassal armies that are similar to knights' fiefs; there are also strange existences that simply contract out the security and defense tasks of the city to several mercenary groups in turn. This "flexible and changeable" system,

Of course, it is better for most situations in daily life.

However, when encountering a more powerful and tenacious enemy, it would be a bit inefficient, bloated and slow. It is said that compared with the County of Flanders, which has a larger proportion of traditional vassal territory, the Netherlands and Zeeland, where the merchant groups and guilds are stronger,

Within the country, it has not even been fully mobilized.

As for the lowland lords, there is another Awatu lordship that has been related to the former royal family for generations. It has simply stayed away from the three lords for a long time. Simply because the internal opinions of the Zeeland lordship are not unified, and some people

Refusing to allow Avatu's troops to pass through their territory.

In comparison, those British invaders seemed much more stoic and powerful. As an unexpected foreign force, they had persisted in the strange land of the Netherlands lowlands/coast for more than three years.

He repeatedly defeated the lowland princes and even threatened the capital several times.

Highly recommended, since the establishment of the account: Roman Khanate. It feels all familiar, and the imagination and historical deduction almost coincide with what I thought. It is like something written in another world and timeline.
