I Will Be The Crowned King

The twenty-ninth chapter of the text is a good start

Empty scar ghost

It has to be said that the New Year's Party of the 101st year of the saint's calendar was a particularly successful one - at least in the eyes of a little clerk.

Almost as soon as Lord Anson's speech ended, Alan Dawn, who sat down on the stage, found himself immediately surrounded by at least a dozen members of the Beluga Harbor Council, and asked him excitedly about road construction planning. question, and whether the storm division has a rough plan.

The reason there were only a dozen people was mainly because the petite secretary could only squeeze so much around them; there were several circles of heads around them, and they wished they could just bury him alive.

As for Carl Bain, who came with him... The Chief of Staff, who has always been very alert to the "inexplicable enthusiasm" of others, noticed the atmosphere was wrong at the first time, but he still failed to escape, and was attacked by at least four or five-handed members of parliament. Containment, very patiently asked him if the storm division needed some "additional" help regarding the big project of land reclamation.

The rest of the officers were also not spared. They were all drunk and dizzy, surrounded by everyone in the center to ask questions.

Even the accompanying naval officers were not spared: a congressman with a Clovis urban and rural accent swears that his grandmother is a side branch of the Cecil family and insists on stuffing his daughter with William. Colonel Cecil.

William, who could not laugh or cry, could only comfort the little girl who was "rejected" and aggrieved to the point of crying, while unswervingly said that the other party must have made a mistake—the offspring of his ancestors were all genuine imperial people, and there could be no one from Clovis City. country relatives.

As for Talia... After seeing that she and Anson Bach were always inseparable, no one dared to take the initiative to try to talk to her.

Facts have proved that Harold did not lie at all. The five hundred members of the Beluga Harbor Council did indeed include all the big and small powers and rich people in the entire colony; and this also brought another problem, that is, their The interests are not entirely aligned.

Even among the representatives of the farms, who account for half of them, the demands are not identical: small farms need to maintain steady growth, while large farms are eager to transform, grow more economical crops and need better sales channels.

As for the remaining half, it is even more divided - fishermen, small workshop owners, ocean traders, mercenary pioneering groups, mine owners, forest farmers...

Judging from this aspect, Speaker Harold's method of controlling the parliament is perfect; he first controlled the most powerful group of land reclamation farms, attracted the most powerful ocean-going traders in Beluga Harbor, and then worked with the religious leader Bishop Ripper. Make a good relationship... The remaining rotten fish and rotten shrimp, no matter how many they are, can't have any influence on the decision-making of the parliament.

Of course, even such superb skills could not prevent the colonies from being highly dependent on the native ocean trade - this is the result of the native expectations and deliberate guidance.

That is to treat the colony as a cow that can be constantly squeezed, and at the same time actively begs the owner to squeeze himself.

The first group of colonists may have really planned to build new homes in the New World; but all the immigrants who came up with the idea of ​​going to colonies after that had a simpler purpose than these people, and were really just making money.

Regardless of timber, minerals, slaves, seafood... If they can't be replaced by local industrial products, they can become real wealth, allowing them to live in luxury houses and drink coffee with sugar, no matter how much resources are available for these are worthless to the colonists.

As a loyal and loyal minister of the royal family, An Sen completely agrees with the local practice; but just stocking up and then squeezing the pond for fishing is inefficient, not to mention the risk of riots, and it is more likely that it will die if it is squeezed and squeezed.

Even leek, try to wait until it is vigorously growing, and it is better to harvest it after the whole field is covered with green oil. After all, healthy cows can ensure stable and abundant milk production.

Although he is not the governor of the colony, theoretically he does not have the power and obligation to interfere in the internal affairs of the colony; but since he is a loyal minister of the kingdom, Anson believes that he should be brave enough to take responsibility - after all, he is responsible, maybe there is.

As long as you integrate the entire Ice Dragon Fjord colony perfectly, and hold the army and tax sources tightly in your hands, even if the mainland really wants to send a governor to take office in the future, it will be convenient for you to be a better assistant. (empty) Well!

And as a reward for Bishop Ruiper's "defection", the recruitment and training of colonial religious armed forces must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and start to form.

For how terrifying and uncontrollable an army that is organized and trained according to the modern army template with doctrines and creeds as its core, Anson, who has the memory of two worlds, is psychologically prepared.

At best it helps to keep the colony together, at worst it's a bunch of mad dogs that are completely uncontrollable - simply organizing them without any military training is extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, as a sect branch of the Ring of Order, Universalism has a very negative attitude towards the secular, and is only full of interest and endless imagination in exploring and hanging pagans outside.

Anson still remembers the history textbooks of the Royal Military Academy, which described them as follows: an excellent universal religious scholar, he will use a mace and a shotgun to break you into pieces because of your heretical or heretical status; But if the next second you are determined to follow Universal King, he will use all his savings to hire the best doctor for you.

This kind of either-or, black-or-white attitude, and at the same time a very high tolerance for believers' behavior—as long as they are not apostate, they can do anything—and the cost of joining the religion is infinitely close to zero, so that the Universalist sect has almost Immortal life force.

Since Bishop Ripper used this as a condition to help himself, it means that it is only a matter of time before the emergence of ecumenical religious arms in the colony; instead of waiting until it grows to a completely uncontrollable state to contain it and fight against the ecumenical fanatics throughout the colony , it's better to get involved in the beginning and reduce its destructiveness as much as possible.

It is impossible to control that, but at least you can have a rough idea of ​​their strength and divisions, and try to avoid them as enemies.

And since Bishop Ripper has repeatedly stated that this is only for the purpose of "uniting all believers", and does not really intend to make it combat effective; then Anson also turned this armed group into a genuine militia group as he wished.

 …

"...So, what does this have to do with all believers going to the church to register?"

In the dimly lit smoking room, Bishop Ripper looked puzzled and asked with a slight disgust.

As the most staunch follower of the ecumenical teachings—or at least the most ostensibly staunchest—Ripper has a hard time developing any sympathy for any coercive means, a practice that seriously violates the ecumenical principle of "non-intervention". in principle.

"I may have misunderstood you. We are not trying to take any coercive measures, just 'suggestions', not forcing everyone to register their status as believers."

An Sen, who was holding a pipe in his right hand, let out a wisp of smoke and said to the bishop very sincerely.

Monocles, pocket watches, pipes, pens, diaries, tobacco boxes... Anson is now slowly getting into the habit of carrying these things with him.

Although there is still no good way to get in touch with a famous contraband dealer, this does not prevent Anson from starting to do so now - when these things become magic items, others will not have doubts.

"In fact, I myself don't like coercion. After all, who would want others to interfere with their normal life? It's like everyone doesn't want to hurt others, but in order to protect ourselves, we must also take up arms."

An Sen's expression suddenly became serious: "Since we want to form an army of believers belonging to Beluga Harbor and even the entire Ice Dragon Fjord, the first thing to do is, of course, to count the number of all believers in the entire colony, and confirm who can join who. No one can, who is eager to fight for their beliefs, and who are just fake believers who talk about their beliefs... You say so?"

"But..." Bishop Ripper obviously still had some doubts.

"So... Lord Bishop, let's be frank." An Sen sighed:

"Your hope is to unite all believers of the Ring of Order, regardless of denomination; in that case we must...be realistic and admit that not all believers are followers of Universalism."

"If I guess correctly, what you are worried about is that the universal religious character will not take the initiative to register, and the last people who come to participate are those believers who are used to being ruled by the church... like me, right? "

Bishop Ripper said nothing, apparently tacitly acquiescing to Anson's guess.

"Since this is the case, then we must encourage the religious people of the world and let them take the initiative to stand up - if they are unwilling to fight for their own beliefs, who can they expect to sweat and bleed for them willingly?" Anson asked back. road:

"What's more, this is not to let them recognize their sect, but just their belief; since it is to bridge the contradictions and build unity, shouldn't it be the first to make concessions and show their sincerity?"

"Can that be changed to a recommended form?"

Ripper frowned and said, "I know some young believers who are full of enthusiasm for faith; as long as I take the initiative to persuade them, they will definitely be willing to join!"

"And I believe that too." Anson shrugged:

"If your purpose is only to form a militia force with Universal Dharma at its core, of course it's fine, but I remember your purpose is to bridge the contradictions between believers...isn't it?"

"If so... IMHO, this method of your choosing rather than the active participation of believers, I don't see any possibility of bridging the conflict other than creating a greater division."

Reper frowned even more.

"Of course, we can also take a more... flexible approach." Anson suddenly changed the conversation, looking at the bishop with hints in his eyes.

Bishop Ripper raised his brows: "For example..."

"You can persuade those believers who you want to join to sign up, and then we will let them pass directly." Anson smiled and smoked a pipe:

"Then... we let these people persuade the believers who are still hesitating, let them understand that doing this is for the benefit of all."

"This work will last about one to two months, and then we will conduct selective recruitment and training according to the number of believers, scale and specific branch conditions of the applicants." Anson continued to explain:

"On the premise of not interfering with their daily work and living, try to ensure that all believers have undergone military training for at least four weeks, and build a ring of order composed of believers for the entire colony."

"In addition, since we want to bridge the differences between the two sides, I suggest that it is best to reduce the content on religion, mention some commonalities between the two sides, and try to divide them according to the type of work, rather than belief or origin."

Well, this will not only establish a militia force, but also count the main young labor force of the entire colony, as well as their approximate occupation and living area distribution map.

"It sounds very reasonable." The bishop nodded slightly:

"I must admit that I didn't think so much when I first wanted to form this armed force."

"This is probably because I'm a countryman from Clovis City. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is more influenced by Qiuzhen Sect (Ivory Sect) and Saint Isaac?" Anson smiled indifferently:

"We respect professionalism more, firmly believe that everything can be summed up with objective rules, are keen to make detailed plans for all work, and welcome all new ideas."

"Well, that is indeed the most successful place in the Qiuzhen sect." Ripo exclaimed softly:

"I guess... that's called professionalism?"

"That's right." Anson nodded: "According to the population size and infrastructure level of the colony, and referring to some places with similar situations in the mainland, this militia army can be formed in as little as three months and become a team to defend the Ice Dragon Fjord. A vital force against infidels."

"Just heretics?"

"Uh... it could be Imperials, but it's still winter - no matter how much they hate us, they won't launch an invasion this season, do you?"

"Well, yes... I should have thought too much."

…………

In the morning, the turbulent sea.

In the cold sea breeze, the girl stood alone on the deck and looked at the sea by herself. There was a faint mist as far as she could see, and she could only occasionally see a few seagulls, flashing past her eyes.

The girl was wearing a thick long-sleeved trench coat, a wide scarf and a one-piece hood that tightly wrapped her small head; but even so, she could still be seen from the figure that she was very slender.

"What are you looking at?"

Gentle voices sounded behind her without warning.

The girl was shocked, she turned her head sharply, a pointed elf ear was exposed under the brim of the thick hood:

"New world!"
