Chapter 1825

The princes in the north of the Dragon Empire, headed by Duke Jotun, provided help to gale Khan when he invaded the Dragon empire.

Such a naked act of treason seems to be a matter of course for those aristocrats who regard their families as more important than their country.

Duke Jordan has done more daring things. He is not afraid of the sanction of the Jiang family, because he has sufficient confidence in his strength.

Duke Jordan's confidence was justified.

Duke Jotun controls the most powerful province in the north, Kalan province. He has 200000 military guards under his command. He is not only the most powerful of the northern princes, but also one of the best in the world.

And the northern princes are the first to follow the example of Duke Jordan. Prince Murray, who is second only to Duke Jordan in strength, is Duke Jordan's son-in-law. Powerful princes, such as Marquis Joseph, Baron ravendale and count Lincoln, were all vassals of Duke Jordan.

Duke Jotun can assure you,

As long as he gives an order, all the northern princes will fight for him. He can pull up a joint army of 500000 princes, far more powerful than the Jiang royal family. That's what Duke Jordan is all about!

Duke Jotun once said: "our violet family (Jotun family with violet as the emblem) has been handed down from the first magic Empire to the present. Our ancestors are the famous Great Olympian Carl SAS, who is extremely noble. And the ancestor of the royal family of Jiang is just a shepherd who was lucky enough to be recognized by the dragon. His blood is humble and he is just a nouveau riche. "

"If the royal family of the Jiang family knows their feelings and interests, I can still let the royal family of the Jiang family hop around for two more days. Otherwise, I'm going to destroy the royal family of the Jiang family. It's just a little help. In fact, if I hadn't worried about the three bastards in the south, I would have fought against the Jiang family. How dare the Jiang family disrespect me? "

Duke Jordan was so arrogant, but what he said was true, at least once.

In the Dragon Empire, he was only worried about the three great princes in the south.

The northern princes had a total of 500000 troops, which seemed exaggerated. After all, the Jiang royal family had a total of 300000 troops, scattered all over the world.

However, the strength of the southern princes is higher than that of the northern princes.

There are many sources of power.

But no matter what kind of power, there is a very important cornerstone, that is wealth. Ordinary people need wealth. Only when they have enough to eat and drink can they have the strength to fight. Only when they have enough military pay can they make people work hard. Magicians also need wealth. Only enough wealth can support expensive magic.

To some extent, wealth is the source of strength.

Since ancient times, the South has been richer than the north. Moreover, after the southern princes did business with the maritime multinational alliance, they became even richer. The export of raw materials and population consumed the national strength of the Dragon Empire, but the gold and silver coins earned were all the princes' own.

Unbalanced trade was not good for the Dragon Empire, but it was good for the princes in the south. They made a lot of money, but they didn't care about the misfortune of the country.

The great wealth created the three great princes in the south, and they all relied on the trade with the maritime multinational alliance to maintain the situation. In the original fate of the track, the protagonist Durand attack the Dragon Empire, the three princes directly defected, causing great damage to the Dragon empire.

The three great princes in the South were Duke Mayer.

Duke Wilson.

The Duke of Romy.

They are called the "three princes of the Empire".

Duke Mayer was engaged in the slave trade. In recent years, with the embryonic form of the industrial revolution of the maritime multinational alliance, the productivity increased sharply, and the demand for labor was in dire need. So Duke Mayer took the displaced and in debt people of the Dragon empire as slaves and sold them to the maritime multinational alliance.

Relying on the slave trade, Duke Mayer made tens of millions of gold coins every year. With such income, he raised 300000 troops and dominated the country, just like the southern overlord of the Dragon empire.

Duke Wilson's back cover is a geomantic treasure land, producing a lot of coal, a lot of iron ore, a lot of wood. Duke Wilson didn't have any sense of protecting the environment. Since he had money, he would exploit it in large quantities. So Duke Wilson became the biggest coal boss in the world today.

In order to fight against Duke Mayer, Duke Wilson also recruited 300000 soldiers to confront Duke Wilson.

Prince Romy has no resources and doesn't sell human beings, but he is acting as an agent for the goods of the maritime multinational alliance. He makes a lot of money as a second dealer. In the same way, the Duke of Romy raised 300000 soldiers.

Different from the fact that Duke Jordan is the leader in the north, the situation in the south is the tripartite confrontation of the three dukes, which is also the result of the intentional promotion of the maritime multinational alliance.

Only when the southern princes of the Dragon Empire fought against each other and formed a trend of division, could the maritime multinational alliance obtain the greatest benefits and do the most profitable business. The monolithic south is not conducive to the maritime multinational alliance.

There are 1.2 million soldiers in the whole south, far more powerful than the north, which makes the Duke of Jordan in the North want to destroy the royal family of Jiang, and he is afraid of being picked peaches by the south, so he has been afraid to act rashly.

This is the inner worry of the Dragon empire.

Although the Dragon empire is still a unified empire in name, it has long been fragmented and scattered.

Jiang Huan naturally can't tolerate this situation.

He wanted to gradually flatten the vassals of the world and destroy all the nobles.

Yes, destroy all nobles!

This is a crazy idea, but it is also Jiang Huan's decision after careful consideration!

It is not Jiang Huan's cruelty, but the original fate tells Jiang Huan that the nobility is unreliable from the beginning to the end. In the original fate, although Jiang Huan unified the Dragon Empire, he let go of the nobles. He still thought about using the nobles to maintain his rule. But when the ocean multinational alliance attacked the Dragon Empire, these nobles almost colluded with Durand and betrayed Jiang Huan.

Therefore, Jiang Huan thinks that nobility is not trustworthy, and Yang Xiaotian tells Jiang Huan what is the real unification. The real unification is not to canonize the nobility, or to canonize the nobility, or to give the fiefdom, or to give the fiefdom empty. The local government is directly managed by the officials sent by the central government, and the personnel power, financial power and military power of the local government should be recovered to the greatest extent.

This is the real unification.

The Dragon empire is now just a false unification.

So Jiang Huan decided to do it.

He decided to fight the North First, and then the south. He had an army of the dead, so he didn't need nobles. Even if you need an aristocrat, you can still use it after you kill that aristocrat and revive him. The living are not loyal, but the dead are not.
