Chapter 364 [Layout, one touch! 】
In this world, I am afraid that nothing is like "time" and cannot be retained.
Although every day is precious to the Roland people, although Du Wei has done his best to display all the means to prepare as much as possible for all the "wars" that will be dealt with in the future.
The ninth and sixty-three years of the empire still passed.
At the end of the year, the last big thing that affected the future of the Roland Empire occurred.
At the huge prayer ceremony in the Temple of Light, held at the end of the year, Pope Paul XVI finally publicly announced his appointed future heir to the Archbishop of Red, Maximos.
This designation did not cause any surprise. After all, as the chief red archbishop, Maximos has already become the future Pope in people's minds, but it is only a matter of time.
In the same year, the Moss faction led by Maximos also tried to suppress the Yenis. During the year, according to the resolution of the internal elders of the temple and the approval of the Pope himself, the archbishops who changed the three parishes were replaced by the Yenisites into the Moss.
And the Archbishop Maximos made something that surprised and admired everyone.
The most popular figure in the empire, the most admired by the Regent, has many legendary stories, and many titles of glory. Such as "genius juvenile magician", "court scholar", "duke of tulips", etc.... just after he almost madly donated a donation almost equal to the annual income of the empire to support the Imperial military, people gave him A new nickname "the richest man on the mainland."
The Duke of Tulips, Duvidorf... It is as deeply rooted in his resounding name that almost everyone knows that this distinguished gentleman is not a devout believer, he has not been baptized. Do not believe that the goddess of light even in his territory, to the teachings of the priests of the temple, also received some unfair treatment.
According to some gossip, even the news from the Duke’s house, it is said that the Duke’s adult did not have much respect for the goddess. He even used some rude words in some private places to describe the clergy "the gods", which the Duke adults said.
It was such a lost lamb that had been separated from the glory of the goddess, a wild horse, but was finally tamed by the great Bishop Maximus.
It was on January 1 of this year. On the square in front of the Governor's Mansion in Loulan City, the capital of Desa Province, the Duke of Tulips held his own ceremonial ceremony and accepted the christening ceremony of Bishop Maximus in front of tens of thousands of onlookers. Bishop Maximus personally completed the admission ceremony of the Duke of the Tulip, and also awarded a "Outstanding Contribution Medal" to the Duke of the newly enrolled. Generally, this badge. It will only be awarded to believers who have made outstanding contributions to the church.
When the Duke of the Master received this medal, he was less than five minutes away from his believer's career.
Just after Du Wei officially announced his conversion to the Light God, Du Wei announced in public that the reason why he made such a choice was entirely due to the personal charm of the Cardinal Maximus. He praised the charisma of the red archbishop and how kind he was, and praised how pious he was to the faith, how much he taught him, and finally touched himself. Convince yourself and fall into the arms of the goddess.
Undoubtedly, this practice has made the cardinal of Maximos famous.
Then Du Wei announced that his territory, the Desa province, officially became a new parish for the church. And by the close friend of Bishop Maximus, the former North Central Diocese Bishop Rams came to serve as the Archbishop of the Desa Province.
Moreover, Du Wei said that he will fully support the construction of religious institutions in the parish, and is willing to become the Holy Knights of the Desa Province. Providing a good training ground, and he generously donated 500 excellent horses.
On behalf of the church, Maximos announced a resolution. In order to express his sincere gratitude to the Duke of Tulips, the church decided to waive all religious taxes in the province of Desa in the next five years. At the same time, according to the huge expectations of Du Wei in the province of Desa, the church's Presbyterian Church made a resolution, stating that Duwei would be awarded the title of
Emperor Bishop
in the Dessau Provincial Diocese.
The title of this honorary bishop is more than just a "honour". Legally speaking. Du Wei has the status of a church bishop, and he will face any law of the empire in the future. Can have exemption rights. Although Du Wei is not too concerned about this "legal immunity", because he already has the status of a magician, it is also a legal privileged class.
However, the title of this honorary bishop has more functions than the magician:
First of all, any hostile act against an honorary bishop will be considered hostile to the church! In other words, from the first minute of Du Wei’s title as Honorary Bishop, Du Wei’s enemy is the enemy of the church.
The second point... Du Wei got the privilege of being able to ask for the Pope at any time. And he also has his own seat at the internal bishops' meeting. Of course, he only listens, and he does not have the right to vote.
The third point is what Du Wei hopes to get. In order to show respect for the honorary bishop, the church made a resolution, Du Wei can pull out his own cavalry of 500 people, the church will grant this cavalry "Sacred Knights" identity! Moreover, this cavalry is not subject to the parish, but only to the honorary bishop. Of course, the premise is that this cavalry must ensure that each of them is a believer in the goddess.
Moreover, according to some legal loopholes, a formal knight can have up to four ballads, and these jealousy are not counted. Therefore, Du Wei can expand the number of this completely "sacred knight" to 2,500 people! Five hundred of them are official knights, while two thousand are in the name of "devious from", and all of this is legal.
"Killing a holy knight is about to be seen as a full declaration of war against the Temple of Light."
According to the laws of this code, Du Wei has a personal "Sacred Knights" squad, so in the future Northwest War, when faced with the Northwest Army, this will be a very effective weapon.
No matter how arrogant the Northwest Army is, it is not an easy task to declare war on the bright temple of the mainland. What's more, there are also many soldiers in the Northwest Army who are themselves church believers. When the soldiers facing these soldiers are the Holy Knights, it is hard to imagine how much morale these people can still have.
After Du Wei got these preferential treatment conditions, he paid the price: he privately signed an agreement, saying that he is willing to make a promise to the future Pope heir, Archbishop Maximus, the archbishop of Red Becoming a close comrade-in-arms of Bishop Maximus, and giving the bishops strong support in front of any difficulties.
It is worth mentioning that Du Wei gave this "sacred knight" of his own to Hussein to lead. Hussein is a true sacred knight who is familiar with all the rigorous methods of sacred knight training and how to lead such a knight.
Subsequently, Du Wei quickly announced his decision. He built a military fortress in his own territory, in the eastern part of the province of Desa, at the junction with the province of Nurin, as the sacred knight of this parish. Resident, this is a complete military fortress, but there is a religious place inside, which allows the knights to pray.
Later, at the junction of the provinces of Desa and Nurin, there were three military fortresses.
The first one was a new army barracks jointly built by Du Wei two years ago with the Governor of the Nulin province, Bohan. After two years, Du Wei had already stationed two-thirds of the troops.
The second is the place built last year to station the private army of the tulip family.
Now, there is a third place.
In this way, from the layout, Du Wei has piled up more than 70,000 troops on his own territory and the border line of Nurin Province. Together with the 30,000 troops under the Governor of Bohan, a total of 100,000 troops, showing a state of encirclement of the site of the Northwest Army.
To make Du Wei slightly strange, this year, the Northwest Army seems to have been quiet...
Lu Gao, who is thinking about it?
Du Wei is waiting, and now the situation has entered the most critical moment. He is waiting for a signal, a signal from the emperor, and the coming of that signal will declare the peace of the mainland and end it completely! !
The footsteps of war are coming?
No, no, no, it should be said: war, at the touch of a hair!
