Taifa of Toledo (Age of Charlemagne) Military Tier 13

Improved Garrisoning

The elite of Islamic forces in Cordoba consisted of those who could trace their lineage back to the caliphate's standing armies in Syria. Although they formed the backbone of many local garrisons, eastern soldiers were a minority in Cordoban forces, with north African Berber and local Andalusian troops making up the majority. These native men were trained by the Muslims, attaining status within the new society at the same time. Utilising the population in this way had the double effect of fulfilling the Emirate's military needs whilst also exerting local influence, preventing any would-be rebels from entertaining seditious thoughts. The thinking was that those who had an active part within the state could discuss the dissenters' issues in terms they would understand, resolving problems and smoothing the path for the country's new rulers. Additionally, of course, those who wished to maintain their relatively privileged positions may also be more inclined to act in the Emirate's best interests.
