Resorting to Underhanded Tactics

While Yasmin was overcoming her grief with the company of Berengar's other women, the man himself was busy managing the Sultanate of Al-Andalus. The first thing that Berengar did upon seizing the position of Regent was establish the National Conscription Act forcing all men between the ages of eighteen to twenty-four to serve a minimum of two years in the newly reformed Andalusian Armed Forces. 

With the unification of Iberia under the reign of a single monarch, Berengar had to work hard to create a military system that integrated the various different cultures, languages, and religions into the same army, one that could efficiently work together as brothers in arms against hostile forces. It would not be easy. He had to take into account the Portuguese language, the various dialects of what would one day be the Spanish language, as well as the Arabic tongue.
