I always felt like something was wrong. I put down all the information about the Kingdom of Hicks and closed my eyes to think. If the information in my hand was true, anyone with a clear eye could conclude that the Kingdom of Hicks is the best.
At least for half a year, there is no way to provide effective military support to the mainland colony of Nubisia. In other words, the standing army at Vibato Port will have to defend for half a year, which is a good move for the Nikancha people.
The timing of the riot…
But now it is no longer important whether the Nikancha people are rioting or not. What is important is when the situation in the Hicks Kingdom will calm down, and who will win the struggle between the Hicks royal family and the traditional territorial nobles. Mechid III
When the traditional territorial nobles of the Kingdom resisted the compulsory conscription order issued by it and refused to use their own private armies to form new standing corps, it was simply impossible to send several of the eight elite standing corps controlled by the royal family to the colonies.
.
At the same time, the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Karnas also rejected the request of the Kingdom of Hicks to continue to hire its main army to go to the mainland colony of Nubisia. Claude led the Thunder Division to join the Third Rock Division and annihilated the two in one fell swoop.
The hiring of volunteer corps is enough to make these two countries deeply distressed.
Like the Principality of Karrnath, after the five-year war in the eastern region, it only retained three main legions. As a result, one was hired by the Kingdom of Hicks, and then was completely annihilated on the continent of Nubisia. This has made the Principality of Karrnath
My vitality is severely damaged, how can I agree to the Kingdom of Hicks to continue to employ its main army...
Although the Kingdom of Nasseri still has some remaining strength, its standing main force is twice as large as that of the Principality of Karrnath. However, it has been less than ten years since the peace agreement ended and the peace agreement was signed, and it is not willing to risk offending the Kingdom of Orvilas at all.
The risk allows the Kingdom of Hicks to continue to hire its own main legion. If one legion is hired, it can also claim to be a volunteer legion formed by retired soldiers, but if a second legion is continued to be hired, then it must be done well with the Kingdom of Ovilas
The Kingdom of Nasseri is not willing to have another war with the Kingdom of Ovilas.
Claude now understood why Melchid III of the Hicks Kingdom provoked this colonial war, because originally the colonies of the Hicks Kingdom were all in the inland areas of the Nubisian continent, with high mountains and dense forests, except for minerals.
In addition to natural resources and timber resources, it is not suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, and you have to be careful about being attacked by indigenous tribes.
Just like the articles in the Dawn Newspaper of the Breault Kingdom, they ridiculed that Melchid III was a whim and wanted the kingdom's local territorial nobles to transfer their territories to the colonies. Given the situation of its inland colonies, it was simply not possible.
There may be any territorial nobles who are willing to exchange their fiefdoms there. Even the newly granted territorial nobles would rather have no territory than have their territory granted to a colony.
All this changed a lot after the Kingdom of Hicks obtained the colonial county of Port Vibato of the Kingdom of Nasseri. With the excellent port of Port Vibato, the Kingdom of Hicks established a stronghold in the Nubisian continent.
The inland colonies had a good outlet to the sea, and the mineral resources developed in the colonies were continuously transported to the kingdom. The territorial nobles found that investing in the colonies for mineral development had very good returns, and they began to be keen on setting up mineral trading firms.
People traveled to the colonies for exploration and mining.
Melchid III was very keenly aware that the resistance of the territorial nobles had loosened, and he did not seem to object to the replacement of the territory and the granting of fiefs to the colonies. However, at this time, there were new problems with using the colonies as fiefs, that is, everywhere
A mining company with nobles participating in the investment allocated a territory to a new lord, but the minerals in this territory were being mined by nobles from other territories, which could easily lead to disputes...
So Melchid III turned his attention to the overseas territories of the Kingdom of Ovelas. He took a fancy to Cromwell and Beringana, two territories located on the north bank of the Dolinibara River.
They have already undergone preliminary development. The land is fertile and the terrain is flat, which is very suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. In particular, the inland parts of the two direct jurisdictions are also connected to the Albato Prairie. Not to mention anything else, they are only used for hunting and migration.
The bison herd is a huge fortune every year, and its value is comparable to a large gold mine.
The Dawn News reported that King Mechid III’s plan to control the overseas territories directly under the Kingdom of Orvilas was unanimously approved by the ministers of the kingdom and the territorial nobles. Some lords even expressed that after obtaining these two territories, he would be willing to
His own territory in the kingdom was replaced by these two direct territories, and he served as the pioneer of the kingdom to develop colonies. This also made Melchid III determined to prepare to directly claim these two direct territories from the Kingdom of Ovelas.
At that time, less than three years after the end of the five-year war in the eastern region, the Kingdom of Ovilas was exhausted and its people's livelihood was difficult. However, the Kingdom of Hicks had firmly established itself as the dominant power in the northern part of the Farea continent, surrounded by
His younger ally, Melchid III, and his ministers originally thought that with their strong national power, they could force the Kingdom of Olvilas to submit and agreed to cede two direct territories to the Kingdom of Hicks. They never expected that the Kingdom of Olvilas
He actually refused their unreasonable request.
The First Colonial War broke out in this way. The Hicks Kingdom thought that with the strength of its two elite standing corps, it could defeat the local garrison forces of the Overseas Territory of the Overas Kingdom. But it had not fought a war for more than 40 years.
The performance of the two elite standing legions of the Kingdom of Hicks was not very good. They fought on Wickham Castle alone for about half a year, which gave the Kingdom of Overas enough time to dispatch reinforcements from the mainland of the kingdom.
Then it was time for the performance of the Rangers who arrived at the Overseas Territory of Nubicia Continent. The two so-called elite standing legions of the Kingdom of Hicks were completely wiped out. Because these two elite standing legions belonged to the traditional territorial nobles
On the one hand, their annihilation made all the territorial nobles of the Kingdom of Hicks very angry, and they unanimously demanded revenge on the overseas territories and the elimination of the Rangers of the Kingdom of Orvilas.
King Mechid III immediately followed suit and ordered five elite standing legions belonging to the territorial nobles to be dispatched to the mainland of Nubicia. He also announced that those who had meritorious service in this battle could be granted territories, and those who had territories would be granted additional titles. The royal family was willing
The land in the two direct territories of Cromwell and Beringana was given or exchanged to the territorial nobles in recognition of their courage and determination to open up colonies for the kingdom...
No territorial noble of the Kingdom of Hicks thought they would lose. There were five elite standing legions, with a strength of nearly 300,000. However, the Kingdom of Overas sent only one so-called royal armed ranger to the overseas territories directly under its jurisdiction.
regiment, with more than 32,000 people, a strength gap of almost ten to one. As for the two newly formed overseas field regiments, no one took them seriously. Everyone knew that the regiments formed by these local garrison armed forces were nothing at all.
combat effectiveness.
The territorial nobles of the Kingdom of Hicks, who contributed money and manpower, quickly raised the logistical supplies and military supplies needed for five elite standing corps, and launched the second colonial war. However, it was not as powerful as they imagined.
The difference between the invincible battle situation is that these five elite standing legions have been led by the Rangers, and even got into trouble. In the end, the logistics base of Wickham Castle was captured and all the logistics supplies were burned.
Having run out of ammunition and food, they had to surrender to the Rangers.
When the news of the disastrous defeat in the Second Colonial War and the annihilation of five elite standing regiments reached the Kingdom of Hicks, I believe the only person who was happy was Melchid III. There were no more seven territorial noble forces that could compete with the royal armed forces.
The elite standing corps of the eight royal forces under his control have become outstanding in the Kingdom of Hicks. The Kingdom Army has rarely become his voice, and no territorial nobles have jumped out to oppose him.
However, Melchid III knew very well that although most of the territorial nobles had suffered greater losses, their foundations remained. He was prepared to strike while the iron was hot and let these territorial nobles shed some blood. After the failure of the second colonial war, it was not without ministers asking Mike
King De III immediately dispatched the elite standing army controlled by the royal family to go to the mainland colony of Nubisia to save the crisis. However, these requests were rejected by King Mechid III on the excuse of insufficient armament and low combat effectiveness.
Melchid III began his suffocating operation, hiring two main legions and a combined fleet from the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Karnas to stabilize the situation in the colony. Then in the name of venting anger on the territorial nobles,
Refusing the entry of the envoy from the Kingdom of Ovelas, closing the door to peace talks, humiliating the Kingdom of Ovelas and the Sterling royal family. It also frustrated the territorial nobles’ plan to redeem their captive relatives from the Kingdom of Ovelas.
Empty...
Then Melchid III delivered a passionate revenge speech, supporting the territorial nobles to rebuild their arms and go to the mainland of Nubisia to continue the colonial war. The kingdom would provide money and equipment to help them re-establish ten standing legions. He made a large sum of money
With a wave of his hand, all the recruitment quotas for these ten standing legions fell into the territory of the nobles.
At this time, some territorial nobles finally came back to their senses. After thinking about it carefully, they realized that these two colonial wars were all contributed by the kingdom's territorial nobles. King Melchid III stood by and watched the fun. In addition to allocating some military expenditures
Apart from that, the rest were verbal promises and commendations, but the consequences of the failure of the two colonial wars were borne entirely by the territorial nobles...
Now the so-called formation of ten standing legions to continue this colonial war is recruiting young laborers from various noble territories. At the same time, the royal family also takes this opportunity to infiltrate its power into the territories of various nobles. Today, the Kingdom of Hicks
The military power is entirely under the control of the royal family. If Melchid III has any bad thoughts or opinions about the territorial nobles, then relying only on the private armies in the hands of the territorial nobles, that is, the local security forces, is a fundamental resistance.
If we cannot resist the attack of the elite standing legions of the royal family, the consequences will be disastrous...
With alertness and understanding, the territorial nobles began to use their best method to deal with the royal family and Melchid III, which was secret resistance, non-cooperation and perfunctory, and combined the requirements of Melchid III with the formation of ten standing legions.
The matter was delayed, so that in the next more than a year, the Kingdom of Hicks only established and trained two standing legions, and the recruitment quota for the remaining three legions was never fully filled.
Melchid III also knew that the territorial nobles had discovered his plot, but he did not care. He just sent two already formed and trained standing legions to the colony, and at the same time urged the three standing legions being formed to be fully occupied.
Editor. As for the other five standing legions, since the territorial nobles are not interested, they can be put on hold for now. When the colonial war on the Nubisian continent progresses, these territorial nobles can enjoy some sweetness, and then they can be mobilized again.
In order to arouse their enthusiasm, Melchid III knew very well the virtues of these territorial nobles, that is, they would not let go of the eagle when they see the rabbit...
In the eyes of King Melchid III and the kingdom's military, they still did not take the failures of the first two colonial wars to heart. They believed that the failures were caused by the territorial nobles being too greedy and eager for quick success.
Melchid III decided to adopt a steady and steady strategy. After the subsequent three standing legions were formed and trained, they would be transported to the mainland of Nubisia to launch the third colonial war.
By then there will be seven main legions in the colony, with two mercenary volunteer legions as the vanguard and five standing legions as backup. They will first clear out the entire Cromwellian Territory, set up a solid defense line, and then wait for an opportunity to attack the Beringana Territory.
In the view of King Mechid III and the military of the Kingdom of Hicks, the war zone and the five reinforced divisions established by the Kingdom of Ovilas in the overseas territory of Nubisia Continent simply cannot withstand their heavy troops.
Pressured, their best defense strategy is to abandon the two direct territories of Cromwell and Beringana, retreat to the south bank of the Dolinibara River, and rely on the terrain and rivers to defend...
As long as he obtained the two direct territories of Cromwell and Beringana, Melchid III could fully fulfill his promise to the territorial nobles. Based on the contribution and losses of these territorial nobles in the first two colonial wars,
How much, respectively, will be given as compensation for the fiefdoms of these two direct jurisdictions. With these easy benefits, I believe that the territorial nobles of the kingdom can abandon their prejudices against him and the royal family and strongly support his request to form another five standing legions.
When these five standing legions were completed and transported to the mainland of Nubisia, the Kingdom of Hicks had twelve main legions in the colony. Melchid III believed that no one could block the direction of the kingdom's army, and even could
Sweeping the entire remaining overseas territories of the Kingdom of Ovelas, the humiliation of the failure of the previous two colonial wars was wiped out.
By then, the Kingdom of Hicks will be even more prestigious in the continent of Farea and Nubisia, and the kingdom's territorial nobles will not object to replacing their territories with colonies. He, Mechid III, will lay the foundation for the future of history.
The Thousand Years of Invincible Foundation of the Kingdom of Kes has become another legendary monarch in the history of the Kingdom...
It’s just that God is not as good as man. Mechid III never dreamed that the newly appointed supreme commander of the war zone in the Kingdom of Ovelas, Commander Maotou who succeeded Marshal Michelchi, would actually launch the third colony first.
War. He took the initiative to lead his strengthened Thunder Division to attack the two volunteer corps hired by the Kingdom of Hicks. After three battles and three victories, he not only annihilated these two mercenary volunteer corps with strong combat effectiveness, but also took the newly formed
The Tofid Standing Army also swallowed it up in one gulp. The remaining standing army could only huddle in the port city of Vibato and defend to the death, thus leaving room for a comeback for the Kingdom of Hicks.
All of Melchid III's plans came to nothing with the disastrous defeat of the Third Colonial War. When the news came, he angrily smashed all the decorative art in the palace study. Sometimes no matter how good the plan was, it would not work.
There was nothing he could do about the incompetence and dragging behavior of the people below. However, Melchid III wanted to win again and immediately sent envoys to the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Karnas, with the intention of hiring their main legions from these two countries.
The situation of stable colonies in Nubia.
But no matter how hard the envoys tried, the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Karrnath rejected the request of the Kingdom of Hicks to hire their country's main legions, and this road was blocked. Mechid III was unwilling to deploy the elite standing legions belonging to the royal family.
He went to the colonies, so he made a desperate move and decided to rely on the power of the king and the strength of the army to use compulsory conscription to recruit the private armies of the territorial nobles and the local security forces of each territory to form five standing corps and send them to the colonies...
...
The result is very simple. The territorial nobles will not directly raise the flag to rebel, but they can secretly instruct the local police and armed forces below to oppose the compulsory recruitment order of Melchid III. They can go up to the mountain and hide and seek with the standing legion sent by Melchid III to conquer them.
.The Kingdom of Hicks fell into civil strife, and Melchid III no longer cared about the colonies on the mainland of Nubisia...
