(Rudi mutters, "The first time I've heard of Argomi is a generous man.") ”

Shikawa Xiu: "Did I allow you to speak?" ”）

Hearing that there were 50,000 people added, Ming Yu's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd: "My lord, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't have a family!" In this way, our budget will have to become ......" He took out a notebook and calculated, and then, close to Zichuan Xiu, whispered a number in his ear.

Immediately, Zi Chuanxiu's face also turned into a bitter gourd, and he inhaled as if he had a toothache and squeaked: "Ming Yu, you're not mistaken, right?" Why so much? ”

"My lord, because you specially explained that in order to give the soldiers a sense of identity, the weapons and uniforms must be uniform, and we all have to make new ones. Also, in order to accommodate these 160,000 troops, we have to build four—nay, five—large military town camps—which are permanent garrisons. If you have to pay your salary every month......"

"Stop!" Zi Chuanxiu's face became more and more wrinkled: "Don't say it again!" Let me think. ”

After a while, Zi Chuanxiu finally made up his mind and looked at everyone: "Everyone, from now on, what I am talking about is an order, and there is no need to discuss it anymore." ”

Knowing that the Emperor of Light had made up his mind, his subordinates stood up one after another, but their voices were uneven.

Ming Yu said: "Follow the orders of the adults!" ”

Ross and Lu Di said: "Obey Your Majesty's will!" ”

Bran said: "Obey the orders of His Highness!" ”

Zichuan Xiu couldn't help but wonder, his subordinates called themselves very differently, and it was also very interesting to think about it. Those who call themselves "adults" are all former family officers, such as Bai Chuan, Lin Bing, Luo Jie, Ming Yu and other senior generals. For them, they are the Far Eastern commanders of their families, they are officers who serve in the Far Eastern Army. There is a subordinate relationship between each other. They have followed them the longest, have the closest relationship, and are very loyal.

And those who call themselves "Your Highness" are the half-orcs from the Far East. The orc warriors are the main force under their command, and for them, they are the "King of Light" sent by heaven to save the Far East. He was the one who was entrusted with the important task by the temple elder Boudin on his deathbed. They blindly obey themselves. As long as an order is given, they do not hesitate to go to the soup and fire, and they are extremely brave. Half-orc warriors tended to serve as mid- and lower-ranking officers, and their advantage was their large numbers.

Finally, there are the people who call Shikawa Shu "Your Majesty". Without asking, they are all demon generals who have returned to Zichuan Xiu. Compared to the above two groups, this group is the most complex. Although they all recognized the throne of Shikawa Shu. But the cunning and repetitive nature of the demons is fully revealed in them. Some of them were desperate and took the initiative to take refuge in Zichuan Xiu, such as Duke Lu Di and Duke Ross; Some people were forced to succumb to Zichuan Xiu's strong troops. For example, Yagomi; Some people cooperate with the idea of seeking strong allies, such as Goda Khan and Gowyn of the Goang tribe, as well as small tribal leaders such as Lei Leopard and Gangwa; There is even someone who plans to seek skin with the tiger and hide a murderous motive in dealing with the Zichuan Xiuwei snake, and that is Cardin of Senea. In comparison, this is the most unstable and unreliable group under the command of Zichuan Xiu, but the strength of the demon soldiers makes it impossible for anyone to ignore the powerful force that this group possesses.

Looking at his subordinates, Zi Chuanxiu spoke very forcefully and slowly: "What Zhu Qing proposes, I have carefully considered. It is absolutely not feasible to raise an army by plundering. Since I am the emperor of this side, I should be responsible for the livelihood of the people of this side, how can I be justified in plundering my own people? The new army of the kingdom was born according to the mandate of heaven, followed the righteousness, protected the territory and the people, eliminated violence and peace, was dignified and majestic, disciplined, no matter how difficult it was, it could not fall into prestige, this is the spirit of the king! ”

Ming Yu: "My lord, in that case, where does the salary and money for raising the army come from?" ”

"The new army of the kingdom is naturally supported by the state's taxes. Your Excellency Ross, do the clans of the kingdom usually have to pay taxes to the God Emperor? ”

"Your Majesty, according to tradition, all ethnic groups pay tribute to the God Emperor twice a year, in the spring and autumn seasons. According to the custom, His Majesty the Emperor will make requests to each tribe according to the population of each tribe, the harvest of the year, etc., and then each tribe will carry it out. ”

"That's the tax. Ming Yu, you first make a budget for how much food you need to form a new army, and then divide it among all ethnic groups according to their numbers and income! Tell the patriarchs that since they have recognized my throne, it is their duty as courtiers to pay taxes to me. ”

Ming Yu looked embarrassed: "I have discussed it with them before, but the patriarchs are afraid that they will not agree......"

"Ming Yu, you talk to them one last time, if the patriarchs are still stubborn......"

Zi Chuanxiu sneered: "Emperor Lu, you can talk to them at that time!" ”

"Me? Your Majesty, Weichen is a big boss, and he doesn't know anything about the fact of taxation! How should Wechen negotiate with them? ”

"Talk the way you like best!"

"Huh?"

"Idiot! You have 10,000 Senean soldiers under you, and you have been with me for so long, have you forgotten your old job? ”

It took ten seconds for Lu Di to understand what Zi Chuan Xiu meant. He immediately smiled: "Understood, Your Majesty!" I see! Whoever dares not to pay the tax obediently, I will take the men and horses to burn their nest! Your Majesty, leave this task to me, the boys have not fought for too long, and they have long been holding back their screams! Hehe, fighting tribal warfare, this is what Wechen is best at! ”

"Well, no." Zi Chuanxiu raised his index finger and shook it: "This is not a tribal war. You must know that paying taxes is a sacred obligation of citizens, and now that some people dare to evade this obligation, you are responsible for punishing them and teaching them to go on the right path. You have to educate everyone that it is necessary to abide by the law, and that tax evasion is very wrong, and you must let everyone know that only by paying taxes on time can you be happy and peaceful—understand? ”

“…… Not very clear. But when the time comes, Weichen will listen to the command of Lord Mingyu, he said who to fight, Weichen immediately brought people over to kill people and set fire! ”

Zi Chuanxiu sighed: "You are a simple-minded person with a violent limb - it can be seen that there is still a long way to go to popularize the legal system!" Ming Yu, Lu Di, I will send you as an assistant. This matter is urgent, you must complete it as soon as possible! ”

Shikawa Xiu issued a position to the two on the spot. Ming Yu served as the head of the Royal Tax Administration. Lu Di was appointed as the director of the kingdom's tax inspection and head of the tax police corps - in the days to come, this director will terrify the demon tribes, and the patriarchs will avoid him like a tiger and a scorpion.

Zi Chuanxiu smiled, beckoned to Ming Yu and said, "Pass your ears over." ”

Ming Yu leaned forward puzzled, and Zi Chuanxiu whispered, "When I negotiate with the patriarchs." You might as well set the tax standard a little more than you really need, three or two times! ”

"It's not that hard. It's just a matter of moving the lips as much as you shout. But my lord, why is that? ”

"The patriarchs are all my subordinates, especially Lei Leopard, Gangwa, and Gwyn, who have fought for me. You tax, and they will definitely come to me to intercede. Then I will say to them, 'No way, I have to raise an army.' This tax must not be collected, otherwise who will resist the barbarians when they come in? Is it really difficult for the Qing family? Bad harvest this year? This, alas, was originally taxed. But the Qing family has a lot of credit to me, since the Qing family really has practical difficulties...... I'm just going to be blamed by the preparatory team...... In this way, you will pay half of it. Remember, I won't take it as an example! ’”

Ming Yu felt a chill.

The next to discuss were the officers of the Forces nouvelles. Zichuan Xiu ordered that both Ross and Lu Di should draw some capable non-commissioned officers from their subordinates and enrich them into the new army to serve as officers at all levels - in fact, this time, Lu Di did not resist drawing people from his subordinates at all, but was quite welcome.

He patted his chest and said: "The new army needs competent officers, and it is incumbent on Weichen!" How many people does Your Majesty want, Weichen is all covered, how many people do you want! Wechen is willing to send the best officers under his command to the past, all of them are capable and brave heroes, and they will definitely be able to lead the new army into an invincible army! ”

Zi Chuanxiu sneered: I don't know if I am really invincible in this way, but it is certain that the new army of the kingdom will become the Lu family's army.

"Lu Diqing, I am very satisfied with your kindness, but how can you bear such a difficult thing alone? That's it, 2,000 people will be drawn from your subordinates, and 2,000 people will also be drawn from Luo Qing's subordinates, and all of them will be sent to the new army to serve as officers. ”

Lu Di rolled his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen's subordinates have been fighting for many years, and they are all very experienced veterans. Your Majesty can consider it when appointing the commander of the troops? ”

"Lu Diqing, I know your suggestion. However, I have already decided on this matter, and the officers and generals above the rank of captain will be appointed by me personally, and the candidates will be selected from General Bran and General Shirakawa. ”

Zichuan Xiu said with a smile, and Lu Di was immediately deflated: Bran is leading the Second Army of the Far East, and Shirakawa is in charge of the Xiuzi Battalion - this is equivalent to saying that only humans and half-orcs are qualified to serve as the commander of the new army.

Everyone smiled and said nothing, watching Lu Di suffocate. Everyone here is an old military officer, and they all guessed Zichuan Xiu's intentions. Although His Majesty the Bright Emperor is young, he is not ambiguous at all when it comes to controlling the army. The Bright Emperor deliberately mixed the humans, orcs, demons and other forces in the new demon army, and everyone restrained each other, and no one could control it alone. Knowing that this is a very sensitive field, and the subordinates are also very knowledgeable, no one dares to reach into it - only a brainless fool like Lu Di actually wants to deceive the control of the new army from Zichuan Xiu, and everyone has to mourn in silence for him.

Shikawa stayed in Grosbia for a full month. It wasn't that the scenery was beautiful, but he found that Grozbia was a very good hub city. The city is located in the central hinterland of the kingdom, and it is convenient to issue orders to any region of the kingdom. Moreover, unlike the Demon God Fortress Theater, which is currently defending against the barbarian attack, Fogrozbia is separated by a desert, but it is safe enough. Moreover, the city was also suitable for stationing large armies, which could accommodate the hundreds of thousands of troops who came with the Emperor of Light.

During his stay in Fogrozbia, Shikawa Xiu's main work was the reorganization of the new army of the kingdom. Conscripts from all tribes have been put in place, the training camp of the new army has been arranged on the outskirts of the city of Fogrozbia, and more than 5,000 officers appointed by Shikawa Shu himself have been added to the new army. At present, the new army is organized into four military towns, each with about 40,000 people, a total of 60 teams. In one go, Shikawa appointed four military mayors, they were the orc general Bran, Dekun, the head of the Tartar tribe, Rose, and a Far Eastern general, Mero.

Mero's resume is complex. He was originally an officer of the Zichuan family, but he rebelled with Lei Hong during the Far East Incident in 780, and later surrendered to Zichuan Xiu after the Battle of Kearney in the Far East. This person has a lot of brains, and he has long seen that Zichuan Xiu is definitely not a thing in the pool, and following such an adult can have a bright future. He is bent on becoming the most trusted Far Eastern minister of Shikawa Xiu. But I also know that Bai Chuan and Roger are friends who follow Zichuan Xiu to wander and share hardships, and in terms of closeness and trust, they can't compare with them in any case, and they can only win Zichuan Xiu's appreciation with their military exploits.

In all the battles, he was both brave and strategic. Always complete the assigned tasks very well. This aroused the appreciation of General Ming Yu, who thought that this was a rare talent and recommended him to join the Xiuzi Battalion.

In the Far East, the Xiuzi battalion was both the most elite army and the guards under the leadership of Zichuan Xiu. Joining the Xiuzi camp means entering the lineage of Zichuan Xiu. Among the top generals of the Far Eastern Army. Humans are often from the Xiuzi camp, while half-orcs are often from the Far Eastern Military School where Shikawa Xiu personally taught. Joining the Xiuzi camp means entering the vision of Zichuan Xiu. Especially during this period, the Far Eastern Army lacked systematically trained regular officers. Therefore, Mero, who graduated from the Far Eastern Military Academy and has a full set of military resumes, was quickly promoted, and successively served as the captain of the 8th Squadron of the Xiuzi Battalion, the commander of the 31st Far East Team, the deputy chief of staff of the 1st Far Eastern Army, and the chief of staff and director of the war room of the 2nd Far Eastern Army.

Now, he has been promoted by Zichuan Xiu again and serves as the commander of the Fourth Military Town of the New Army of the Demon Kingdom - as for whether this official position is the red-clothed banner of the Zichuan family or the deputy commander. Mero didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Several large military towns are set up in the towns around Fogrozbia, and Zichuan Xiu travels between several military towns all day long, inspecting the construction of the new army, compiling training courses, and from time to time doing some undressing and food, such as talking to soldiers and asking where people are good at food, training, tired and tired, and homesick - although it has been a long time since the creation of the Far Eastern People's Army, Zichuan Xiu found that his ability to buy people's hearts has not been wasted, and the effect is also very good. He could always find some points of crystal light in the eyes of the soldiers, and some people were even so moved that they couldn't cry - this is not surprising, if a demon peasant, the biggest official he had ever seen before was the village chief, and one day, the great majesty, who only existed in distant legends, suddenly arrived, sat opposite and chatted with him cordially, greeting him with the cold and warmth - could he have any other reaction than tears?

Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor did not just chat with everyone. On the day of the paycheck, the demon soldiers were at a loss for what to do with the silver they had just received. For the first time, they knew that they could still receive a salary as a soldier, and the salary they received was quite not low, enough to feed the old and young of the family, and they didn't have to take the risk of going out to rob civilians - you know, wanton plunder sounds very cool, but Wang Guo's style is fierce, and all the people are soldiers, and it is not a new thing for soldiers to go out to rob and be killed by civilians. Moreover, the surrounding villages are limited, so many soldiers are here, even if they rob, they may not be able to rob anything, and the benefits of being a royal soldier are not limited to this.

"Brethren, since you entered this gate, you are no longer the tribal soldiers with hoes and feet full of mud, you are the royal army, you are the regular army, you are the royal officers and soldiers! From today onwards, you will receive a military salary every month, and you will also receive an allowance during wartime. Of course, when a soldier eats food, there will inevitably be deaths and injuries. His Majesty the Emperor of Light is favored, and the wounded and disabled brothers can receive disability allowance every month after being discharged from the army; Those brothers who died in the war can also give their families a generous pension, and they will live without worry.

Your Majesty treats us well, brothers, we must follow Your Majesty wholeheartedly! ”

The soldiers did not understand what the human officers on the team said, and they did not dare to believe that there would be such a good thing in the world. However, the words of the royal officers and soldiers sounded very powerful, especially after wearing a neat uniform and wearing epaulettes and golden ribbons, the thin demon soldiers looked majestic. When they went out to meet their former comrades who had served together in the tribal army, they saw each other's surprised and envious eyes, and the pride of being "royal officers and soldiers" spontaneously arose: "Eat well, dress well, and get silver!" It seems really good to be an errand for Your Majesty, anyway, it's much better than being a soldier in the tribe before! ”

Regarding Zi Chuanxiu's investment of a large amount of silver taels to equip the new army with military uniforms and standard weapons, the patriarchs of various clans were originally very unimpressed. The army, as long as it can fight, what do you do if you dress so well, the Protoss doesn't pay attention to these fancy things. Therefore, except for a few aristocratic troops, most of the demon armies are in tatters, similar to those called Huazi.

But seeing that Zi Chuan Xiu simply changed the army into a unified military uniform and awarded medals to officers at all levels, the appearance and spirit of the new army immediately took on a new look, and the soldiers were in high spirits, even walking as if they were carrying the wind under their feet, and they were going in and out all day with their heads held high - in contrast, their tattered clan soldiers were embarrassed to show their faces in front of others, and the patriarchs knew that Zi Chuan Xiu's measures had a deep meaning.

Of course, His Majesty is nothing more than two graces. Zi Chuanxiu knows very well that the demon clan is an unruly lone wolf, and it is easy to be despised by his subordinates just by giving grace without adding authority. Commanders at all levels of the New Army received orders from Zichuan Xiu to be generous to soldiers in terms of living treatment; But in the enforcement of military law, it must be so strict that "even if you provoke a mutiny, you will not hesitate to do so!" ”

In order to defeat the unruly wildness of the demons, Zichuan Xiu used cruel methods to force them to abide by military discipline and obey their orders. In the first few days, a long string of heads hung all day above the gate of the barracks, whirring and shaking by the wind. Those were all soldiers who violated military orders and were ordered to be beheaded, for a variety of reasons, some could not help but go out to rob, some fought and brawled, some contradicted their superiors, some missed the assembly time, and some left the camp without permission - everyone often wondered if the Emperor of Light had learned the legendary face-changing stunt, and just now he was still talking and laughing with everyone cordially, and in the blink of an eye, he could not hesitate to order the soldiers to be beheaded for public display, and there was no transition between the amiable smiling face and the murderous black face.

"If a person violates discipline, he will kill another; If one team violates discipline, the whole team will be killed; If a regiment violates discipline, the whole regiment will be killed; The whole army violated discipline, and I did not hesitate to kill all the soldiers and recruit soldiers again! The kingdom is vast and has a huge population, and there is no shortage of these tens of thousands! Soldiers, I warn you that whoever wants to make trouble with him if he thinks that the law is not to blame the people, he must be ready to lose his head here in my place! ”

At the military parade in the First Military Town, listening to the Guangming Emperor's declaration, the school field where 40,000 people gathered was so silent that even a needle could be heard. The demon soldiers all trembled, they knew that killing all the new troops was not a false word of the Emperor of Light, and in the days when the atmosphere was at its most tense, His Majesty even transferred the Xiuzi battalion and the half-orc army to be stationed in the surrounding area - the emperor could indeed do what he said.
