Chapter 124: Burning Fire Guard (Asking for Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
If the fire of the Bastille had failed, it would have not burned so many powerful lords and nobles to captivity.
If the Archduke Borg had ruled in recent years not been so eager for quick success, he would have departed his subordinates.
If the Manyu military leader does not break out in the slave gladiator revolt now, give Archduke Borg a buffer of three or four years.
Even if the Legion of the Eternal Night now has 100,000 soldiers and civilians, it is predictable that it will be driven back into the mountains.
No matter how barren the Manyu military leader is, the area and population of the other party are there, and the combat potential is far from being comparable to himself, the other party has lost 350,000 troops, and it will be buffered in a year and a half, and the Eternal Night Army is gone, Sean can't slow down for ten or eight years, he can't do more than ten years of mountain teaching, right?
So, if you can avoid war now, you can avoid it.
Even if he wants to fight, he will have to wait until he has completely established his foothold in the mountains, got a suitable name in the Byron Alliance, and become a member of the other party.
Some things are not suitable for these low-level officers to say, Sean is just communicating with the top management of the Eternal Night Legion to reach a consensus, and some can only be stuffed in his stomach, and he can't see the overall situation, and it's useless to say it.
This enlarged meeting of officers is not only not a war mobilization meeting, but a political and ideological meeting, to eliminate the impetuous atmosphere within the Eternal Night Legion, and not to affect the pace of its own development because of the turmoil news from the Manyu military leader.
Figuring it out by yourself is only the first step, and at the same time, it is also necessary to do the ideological work of the soldiers of the eternal night below and mobilize their enthusiasm for construction and production.
In order to fully mobilize this, the conference put forward an initiative on mobile red flags, which will set up three levels of mobile red flags of gold, silver and bronze with the guard station as a unit, and the main force of the Eternal Night Legion and the affiliated engineer regiment will each set up one, and the top three will hold mobile red flags until the next selection results come out.
In addition to this kind of glory, it is also really linked to interests, and the guards who get the mobile red flag, according to the level of the mobile red flag, the salary from top to bottom will be increased by 1.5, 1.3, 1.1 times, and once the mobile red flag is taken away, the salary will be the same.
As soon as this initiative came out, it was endorsed by all the officers, and one by one they were ready to show their strength and strength, and they had to win the mobile red flag back to their homes.
These young officers were not interested in practical gains, but in the honor of the mobile red flag, and every soldier was eager to make a meritorious deed, and since he did not have the opportunity to show himself on the battlefield, he won the championship in this kind of military competition.
On the contrary, it was about the Bastille, and it was only a regiment that appeared outside the rebuilt Bastille in the name of training, in the name of training.
The 200 kilometres of roads that have been built in the past year include a military buffer zone that was originally set aside.
At the beginning, the terrifying construction speed of the Legion of Eternal Night shook the lords and nobles of the Bastille.
As for whether this will be a convenient passage for the Manyu army to lead an attack on the Eternal Night Legion, the Eternal Night Legion is not worried at all from top to bottom, they are eager for the other party to attack inward along this road, just in time for their carefully arranged trap to show their might.
Compared to the relatively wide and long Jacob Ancient Channel, a passage is easier to deploy.
When they arrived at the bottom of the city, the battle orders were passed to those middle and low-level officers, which caused a small cry of surprise.
However, this time it was not the war itself that decided the fate of the Bastille, but the exchange of interests outside the war, which went smoothly beyond imagination.
By the time the regiment of the Legion of the Eternal Night arrived at the city, the retreat of the soldiers of the Bastille was nearing its end.
As Angie Bena had predicted, Patram could not resist the temptation to become the supreme ruler of the Manyurd Army, and agreed to the terms of the deal almost without even thinking about it, and abandoned the Bastille.
Compared to a military archduke, the threat posed by either the Bastille or the Andes was insignificant, and it was not easy for him to regain the Bastille when he grasped the military and political power.
Before leaving, Patrium did not leave Shaun and the others with a restored Bastille, but threw a fire at it, once again burning the plagued city to the ground.
He did this, but it made the commander who came to take over the Eternal Night Legion breathe a sigh of relief, the other party did such a desperate thing, but it showed that there was no other layout in it.
If they follow the example of the Legion of the Eternal Night and throw an empty city there, the Legion of the Eternal Night outside the city will be in a dilemma, suspicious and suspicious, and in order to prevent fraud, they will not be able to set a fire themselves.
However, setting fire to a city that is about to be abandoned and a city that is about to be occupied are two different things, and Patrium has done it for them, but it is not so entangled.
Compared to the fire of the Legion of the Eternal Night a year ago, the fire set by Patrium was far from the same in terms of professionalism and preparation, and it only burned for a day and a night before it slowly extinguished.
It wasn't until three days later, when Patlem had left with the conclusive news that he had led the army, that the legion of the Legion of the Eternal Night officially settled in the Bastille.
Within a week, two attached engineering regiments and 10,000 mountain people who had just completed their cultivation drove over and launched a vigorous campaign to build the city.
Felling, stone cutting, foundation arrangement, digging and kiln, brick burning, tile burning and ash burning......
Everything is in order, and there is no chaos at all.
Hundreds of walled cities, tens of thousands of houses are not built in vain, and the 200-kilometer mountain roads are not built in vain, and the Engineer Corps attached to the Eternal Night Legion has long been heavily built and honed into a super engineering team, which is not comparable in Sean's previous life, but in the Ashan Continent, in terms of efficiency and quality, they say second, no one dares to say first.
Adobe bricks and tiles, firing, said to have technical content, indeed a little, said no technical content, really not too much technical content, the most important thing is a problem of heat.
It may have been a problem before the formation of the Legion of the Eternal Night, but it is not a problem at all.
Specially dispatched a hundred guards, do nothing else, build dozens of furnaces, all kinds of materials, put in it to bake.
This burn really burned a lot of good things.
The adobe bricks and tiles belong to the cheapest, the clay pottery is relatively mid-range, and occasionally a few furnaces actually burn out something terrible - colorful glass.
This is an absolutely good thing, it is said that it is also produced on the Twin Peninsula, but the production is very low, and it is regarded as an untold secret by the Witches' Secret Society, and the price is terrible, and her nemesis, the Holy See, is her biggest customer, and if the splendid church is decorated with this, the grade will immediately be raised several steps.
I didn't expect these things equivalent to silver to be fired from a pile of worthless sand.
It is no wonder that General Sean made their Bairenwei a level of secrecy from the beginning of the medical research base and the iron-making and steel-frying plant.
This matter was notified to Sean as soon as possible, and the reply he got was just good, make persistent efforts to burn more good things, and in the process of firing, you might as well use your brains more, not only try some kind of soil and sand alone, mix it, mix it, mix it with some other things, use different temperatures, maybe there will be different results.
Sean's ultimate goal is to fire porcelain, Ashane has pottery but not porcelain, and even the popularity of pottery is not particularly high, and wooden bowls are still prevalent in many places, such a place is the Manyu Army, compared to the Andes Mountains, the Manyu Army, which has a large number of open-pit coal mines, is more suitable for this industry.
Like most people in previous lives, Sean only used sand to burn bricks, porcelain, glass, and glass, and more porcelain was fired from clay, kaolin and other special soils.
But what clay and kaolin are like, then I don't know anything, not to mention the more complex process flow and temperature, all of which are half-understood, and need to be tested little by little.
The only benefit, knowing the result, working hard to explore in this direction, makes it easier to reap the results.
Although the Bairenwei who did this did not know the result, they had an almost blind admiration and trust for Sean, and since the general let him do this, he must have his own deep meaning.
After being confirmed, not to mention Sean's worship to the next level, the motivation is also full, without Sean's advice, they will also open their brains, it is said that the people of this hundred guards are stunned, no matter what they see, the first reaction is to send it into the furnace, burn it, and almost send the corpse in.
This hundred-man guard is also famous, and it is known as the fire guard in the Eternal Night Legion, which is not a mockery, but an envy.
This Hundred Guards has been expanded into a school, specially drawing more professional talents from the Eternal Night Legion and the Affiliated Engineer Regiment to expand themselves, and the original Hundred Guards are naturally sturdy officers who are promoted to the next level.
The kilns have also changed from about 20 to about 200 now, and there are more than 2,000 mountain people working under their orders.
It is said that this is just the beginning, and as the territory of the Legion of the Eternal Night expands, more and more infrastructure projects will need to be carried out, and they will grow in size to become regiments, or even form armies on their own.
But when it really came to be for the Legionnaires of the Eternal Night to choose to join the Burning Guard, most people would hesitate.
Judging from the current posture, the fire guard is moving closer from the main guard to the attached engineers, and even if it does not become an engineer in the future, it will become a more professional logistics guard.
The Eternal Night Legion has always emphasized the division of labor, and it is becoming more and more obvious, and the soldiers with points in their hearts pay great attention to this when they change their positions, even if they are promoted, if the division of labor is not their own mouth, they will discuss it with their superiors, not to accept it, but to reflect to the above, whether there is a mistake, whether it needs to be adjusted.
This kind of oolong incident is always a minority, and the personnel changes of the Eternal Night Legion will fully consider whether the major is the right one, as well as personal wishes.
Of course, this is the army, and individual will is only one aspect, and if the army needs it, the individual will must be subordinated to the collective will.
Even without the fire set by Patlem, the Legion of the Eternal Night did not retain the original Bastille, and the entire castle, including the impregnable inner fort, was bulldozed to the ground.
"Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, where did this drawing come from? Do you want to move the city site ten kilometers to the east? Does he know what this means? This means that our building area will be more than ten times larger than before, and with the number of people we are bringing now, even if we don't sleep, we won't want to complete it within ten years!"
"Also, what kind of architectural drawings is this? Is this a city blueprint? If you don't build a castle on two hillsides, and it's all walls, what kind of mess is this? It's just whimsical! How much manpower and how much material resources will be wasted? How ridiculous is it that is built?"
A hearty roar spread far and wide across the field.
Both soldiers and farmers are accustomed to it, and when they see each other, they can't help but quip, "Who provokes our lord and architect?"
"I don't know what kind of tonic things the Lord Architect eats all day long, and the anger is so big. ”
"If you don't hear the Lord Architect get angry one day, you won't have the energy to work. ”
The middle-aged man with a mustache, a height of more than one meter and a half-overhead, and a thunderous man, named Ferdinand, was once a knight of the Manyu Army.
That's right, he was one of the captives who burned the Bastille in the first place, and he was not given to Angie Bena as a gift by the Legion of the Eternal Night, because a year ago, after learning that his family had been uprooted by the Grand Duke of Borg, that his relatives had been killed by his political enemies, and that his estate had been divided between the Grand Duke of the Bog and his political enemies, he chose to defect and join the Legion of the Eternal Night.
He hated the Legion of the Night, but he hated the vile and shameless Grand Duke Borg and his political enemies, the latter far more than the former.
After all, they are in a hostile relationship with the Legion of the Eternal Night, and no matter what means the other party uses, it is normal.
And the Grand Duke Borg is the object of his allegiance, and after he went out on the expedition and sacrificed his life for the country, he actually treated his family like this, which is a shameless betrayal.
And he is a smart man, knowing that after returning to the Manyu Army, there will be no way to survive at all, neither his political enemies nor Grand Duke Borg want him to survive.
There were not a few lords and nobles who made the same choice as Ferdinand, and the experiences of these people were basically similar to them.
The rest are either stubborn and loyalistic, or the lords and nobles who have not been swallowed up by the Grand Duke of Borg, and have a glimmer of hope for returning to the realm and regaining power.
These people have all been given to Angie Bena by Sean, as for how much power they can exert themselves, it is unknown, after all, Grand Duke Borg was too ruthless, and the family power of these people was ruthlessly cleansed, and even if they survived, most of them were seriously injured.
Coupled with the toss of the slave gladiator rebel army, it is still unknown whether their family will survive, because most of their family members are also big slave owners, and they will inevitably be involved in this chaos.
