"So, Trond went to beat up the native tribe in Harus again?"

Looking at the messenger from the third brigade who came back from Zane Continent, Richard, who was sitting behind the desk, said with a smile.

"Yes, before I set off, General Olson had already led the army to Harus. If there is no accident, there will be news of success in a few months." The messenger replied neither humble nor humble.

"Very good." Richard nodded with a smile. He called the guards standing behind him and said, "Prepare some accommodation for this messenger who has traveled across the ocean. Let him rest for a few days before going back."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard promised, made a gesture of invitation to the messenger, and then led him out of the study.

After the messenger left, Richard turned his attention back to the desk. He picked up the quill pen dipped in ink and wrote down the system concept of Zane Governor's District on the paper.

According to his idea, all the colonial territories on Zane Continent will be placed under the jurisdiction of the newly established Governor's Office. A one-year term, and once the term ends, he will return to his homeland, unless he can obtain the emperor's own re-election permission.

The Governor has the right to manage all affairs in the Governor's District, and is allowed to handle diplomatic relations with the indigenous tribes, such as war, peace, and trade, before obtaining the permission of Vienna. Of course, wars cannot be provoked unscrupulously. The colonial army can only Only when colonies are expanding, when national interests are threatened by indigenous tribes, can they enter the battle. And in order to prevent the governor from monopolizing military and political power, Richard also set up a new military officer to separate the military functions of the governor, and set up a gendarmerie to supervise the governor and military officers, who can arrest the latter before they threaten national security. catch.

The first governor, Richard, wanted to hand it over to Trond Olsen. After all, he was the biggest hero in this war, but Trond also had his own fief and title on the Valdasia Peninsula, so he had no time Avatar management, so Richard can only dispel this idea, and replace it with another nobleman.

As for the post of military officer, Richard was going to hand it over to Eisner, the commander of the Second Brigade. At the same time, he and his brigade were separated from the First Army, and he was awarded the designation of the Colonial First Brigade.

I forgot to mention that the military officer, like the governor, has an eight-year term. At the end of the term, he must leave the colony and return to the mainland. back home.

...

After about an hour,

Richard put down the quill in his hand, rubbed his sore wrist, and walked out of the study.

It was February at this time, and it was still a relatively cold time of the year, but I didn’t feel even the slightest chill in the Palace of Ippolito. This was due to the coal that Richard promoted, and there was nothing to do in peacetime. After he learned that many coal producing areas were found in China, he thought of using coal for heating and promoted it. However, he also knew the dangers of burning charcoal in the house, so he ordered every family not to keep the room in a sealed state when burning charcoal, and to expand the chimney for ventilation to avoid carbon poisoning.

Compared with the original wood fire for heating, the advantages of coal were quickly known by people and became a commodity in circulation for a while. Although the price of coal has been deliberately lowered, there are still many poor people who have no money to buy, so Richard introduced the charcoal burning method. The charcoal produced after burning wood is generally thrown away directly, but in Richard's proposal Next, the charcoal was kept for the next fire to keep warm.

In this way, time passed, and it soon came to January in 1129 in the continental calendar. The war on the continent of Zane had long since ended, and Trond Olsen and his army had already returned triumphantly as war heroes. The soldiers of the war all won rich spoils and became local rich men. Trond himself was given the title of "Zane Conqueror" by Richard himself and became the most famous person in 1128.

After the triumphant return of Trond, Richard sent a German nobleman to serve as the first governor. The new governor was notoriously old-fashioned, meticulous about people and things, and would grab Richard every day. Richard and Stephanie were annoyed by the severe criticism of a family's violation of aristocratic etiquette. Richard sent him directly to the colony and asked him to harm local officials.

I forgot to mention that the new governor happened to be the father of Lieutenant General Asnell, a military officer. Richard could even directly foresee the tragic experience that Asnell was about to face. He probably would be pointed out by his father every day. There is never peace. Of course, Eisner didn't offend Richard, it was just a bit of bad humor between Richard and Stephanie.

...

The Holy Roman Empire and the Valdasia Peninsula have moved away from the shadow of war together and entered a period of peaceful development. However, at this time, on the Kuyawi Sea far to the west, a huge fleet is riding the wind and waves and heading east.

Compared with the warships of the countries on the Kuyawi continent, the warships of this fleet can be described as huge monsters. The largest warship is 68 meters long and 15 meters wide. There are three masts on the deck, and the main mast is 60 meters high. The three-layer artillery deck, viewed from the side, has densely packed gun ports on the left and right sides. Once it is put into battle, it can use intensive firepower to blast the enemy's warship to nothing.

And that is indeed the case. On the way the fleet sailed to the Kuyawi continent, they were attacked by various pirate fleets that were overwhelmed, but the attackers would be covered by frightening firepower from the fleet, a round of artillery When the salvo is shot down, a complete warship will be riddled with holes like a sieve, and finally sink to the bottom of the sea.

Although the number of warships in this fleet is only twenty-five, compared with Richard's First Fleet, its firepower is enough to throw the latter a few blocks away. It is no exaggeration to say that even if the flagship of this fleet alone Taking it out to single out the First Fleet with 100 warships, the former can also gain the upper hand.

Although it sounds a bit hurtful, it is an undeniable fact that one side is transitioning from the late Middle Ages to the colonial era, and the other is already in the colonial era.

Looking around, every battleship is flying a common flag. If Richard is thrown here to witness it with his own eyes, he will be so surprised that he can't speak for a long time, because on the flags fluttering in the wind, impressively It is a winged eagle with an olive branch in its mouth, and "S.P.Q.R" is written in four Latin letters under the eagle.
