After the herald cavalry carried the order of the Hui soldiers, and ran through all the towns in the entire territory of the Zhao Hu army, almost following the footsteps of the cavalry, the fiery atmosphere of the people was instantly ignited. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Needless to say, the slaves who have completely become the property of Zhao Hujun, after finishing their work, do not rest much, and all work hard to exercise their bodies, everyone knows that to change their fate, they can only rely on this opportunity in front of them.

In the hall of the castle where Zhao Hu lived.

Lu Jun, a small businessman, stood up and saluted first, took out three documents and said: "Lord Zhao Hu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country personally wrote the ......edict, uh, personally wrote a letter, as well as the military order issued by the imperial department and the decree issued by the cabinet. ”

Zhao Hu thanked him and took the document to read, the crown prince wrote it in a private capacity, roughly thanking Zhao Hu for his loyalty to the country, and at the same time implying in the sentence that he was very satisfied with Zhao Hu's loyalty to him.

The content of the letter even hinted that as long as Zhao Hu was loyal and diligent for the crown prince, countless glory and wealth were waiting for Zhao Hu.

However, at the end of the letter, there was an abrupt order, asking Zhao Hu to become a model for the imperial people and to completely obey the orders of the military department.

This sentence seems a little weird, but Zhao Hu didn't care at all, he just gave face to the marshal, although Peter had already said this trick, but Zhao Hu didn't have the idea of borrowing the tiger's skin to pull the banner.

The cover of the crown prince's letter was just a very ordinary document specification, while the military order issued by the military department was very formal, just like the military order documents received before, with the imperial emblem printed on the black cover.

Zhao Hu opened the seal neatly and unfolded the paperwork, only to see that the content was: "Colonel Zhao Hu (Lin), acting captain of the Fifth Brigade of the Fifth Brigade of the Provincial Garrison Division, has led the troops in a good way and defended the territory meritoriously, and according to the emperor's meritorious service regulations, Zhao Hu is hereby appointed as the emperor's major general."

In addition, it was heard that the southeastern coastal provinces of the empire were not stable, and Major General Zhao Hu of the Chadi Emperor was brave and good at fighting, and authorized himself to form a corps of troops, and awarded the twentieth army of the empire the number of the army, and all the powers within the legion were autonomous by Major General Zhao Hu, hoping to protect the stability of the southeastern coastal provinces of the empire, and expected Major General Zhao Hu to make new contributions.

This order, the mainland calendar 1741, autumn.

Imperial Marshal (India), Imperial Marshal (India).

Zhao Hu was a little stunned when he saw this order, he was promoted to major general before he was converted to a regular colonel? Also gave the establishment of a corps? And this legion is still the twentieth corps that he once served!

However, in this way, the 18th, 19th, and 20th legions that went out to the prairie at the beginning were indeed wiped out, otherwise the number of the regular legions would not have been so easily granted.

It's just that it's too embarrassing to let a small major general serve as the commander of a corps, right? The commander of a division in the regular army is a lieutenant general.

However, Zhao Hu was only stunned for a moment after all, if you really want to talk about it, it is to give Zhao Hu a marshal position and give him ten legions, which is nothing great for Zhao Hu and his subordinates.

In these years, the troops were all formed at the commander's own expense, and the number of the establishment was completely empty and worthless!

Putting the military order aside, Zhao Hu picked up the cabinet decree, which was a pattern printed with the imperial emblem on the white cover, and Zhao Hu had never seen what the imperial decree was. When I opened it, I saw that it was written in artistic words: "Recently checked the two provinces of the southeast frontier of the empire and Haiquan, thieves are rampant and the people are not happy, and Major General Zhao Hu, the commander of the twentieth army of the empire, is stationed here."

Major General Zhao Hu was appointed to supervise the troops of Haibin and Haiquan provinces, and hoped that Major General Zhao Hu would eliminate the bandits in the two provinces as soon as possible and return the people of the two provinces to a bright and blue sky.

This order, the mainland calendar 1741, autumn.

Imperial Cabinet (India), Imperial Prime Minister (India).

Zhao Hu was dumbfounded this time, Overseer? The Overseers, who are the equivalent of legitimate warlords, have fallen on themselves? And there are two provinces in one place? This is too fake, isn't it? Do you really think you are idiots?

Why does Zhao Hu have such an idea? Because the Overseers have long since disappeared from the history of the Empire for hundreds of years.

As the name suggests, the overseer is only the position of supervising the army, generally the position of supervising the military affairs of a province, and this position is also appointed by the cabinet, which is a semi-civilian and semi-military role.

In the beginning, such overseers were all civilian officials, but due to the war problems and the dissatisfaction of the troops below, it became a full-time position for officers, but the appointment power was still in the hands of the cabinet.

The reason why the Overseers are legitimately warlords is simply because the Overseers usually have two powers in their hands.

The first is the power to control the military affairs of the whole province. Even if there were four or five legions in the local area, as long as there were Overseers in the province where they were stationed, and they were not led by the marshal or ordered otherwise, then these four or five legions were nominally under the control of the Overseers.

In addition to this, the Overseers have full autonomy over the movement, establishment, and personnel of their armies. Therefore, the Overseers are also known as false marshals, only one level below the marshals who command the armed forces of the whole country.

Another power is that the Overseer has the power to collect money and soldiers from the Governor's territory. In other words, the Overseers could levy troops and pay them anytime and anywhere in their control, a power that was very different from that of the governors.

The Overseer's autonomy and the right to recruit money, food, and soldiers make the Overseer a complete emperor in the area, but this is recognized by the laws of the Empire, so it is also called a legitimate warlord.

Of course, the Overseers weren't just random, they only existed in the frontier provinces connected to enemy nations during the Empire's massive expansion.

And without exception, these people who served as overseers either set themselves up as kings and were destroyed by the empire, or were transferred back to the imperial capital to be frozen, and none of them ended well anyway.

Lu Jun, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that Zhao Hu had finally finished reading the paperwork, and said a little eagerly: "Lord Zhao Hu, in addition to the letter this time, there are also rewards from the military department and the cabinet, as well as gifts from the crown prince personally, these are all in the carriage outside, please accept them." He said and posed for please.

Lu Jun clapped his hands at his men and shouted, "Quick, move everything down." ”

With the work of the caravan's subordinates, everyone soon knew what kind of reward the imperial capital had sent.

The military department gave five boxes of rank insignia for officers above the rank of second lieutenant, as well as the number flags, armbands, and seals of the 20th Army Corps.

In addition to this, there are ten boxes of blank military registration cards and officer appointment papers.

Zhao Hu knew very well what the military department meant by these things, but he just wanted to brand his army as the regular army of the empire.

What the cabinet gave was a golden ticket that could withdraw gold coins from any gold bank in the Freedom Alliance, and the amount was not much, only 10,000. Not to mention Zhao Hu, even his subordinates didn't see it much.

The crown prince gave a gift of fabrics and utensils for the court, the most striking of which were the ten young and beautiful palace maids who came with the car.

However, compared with Zhao Hu's maid, it is obvious that it is a step lower, that is, Lu Jun also shook his head secretly on the side, thinking that the crown prince is too underestimating, and it is very likely that Zhao Hu is treated as a turtle.

Looking at so many things, it seems that only the fluttering golden ticket is barely practical, and the others can be said to be rubbish.

This made Zhou Wen, who was the head of the internal guard, very dissatisfied with the emperor, and Peter still thought that they had a righteous reputation, so he was so stingy!

After seeing that Zhao Hu had indeed accepted the things and initially obtained the right to do business in this place from Zhao Hu, Lu Jun was ready to retire.

However, before leaving, Lu Jun said to Zhao Hu: "Lord Zhao Hu, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked Zai Xia to spread the reward you have received after you accept the gift, so please don't suspect that Zai Xia has any bad intentions, Zai Xia is just accepting money to serve others." ”

Zhao Hu smiled: "This is natural, please feel free." ”

Zhao Hu had already prepared for the things that would definitely be hyped up in the imperial capital, but he didn't know why he came to publicize it after he accepted the gift?

Could it be that the imperial capital is afraid that I will regret it? Well, this is possible, if you publicize it in advance but find out that Zhao Hu does not accept the reward, wouldn't it be equivalent to being slapped a few times on the head? The imperial capital can't afford to lose this face.

As soon as Lu Jun left the gate, he saw nearly a hundred men galloping on horses rushing into Zhao Hu's mansion.

Moreover, Lu Jun also noticed that the guards not only did not intercept these people, but instead helped pull the horses, and these nearly 100 men were either wearing school officer uniforms or civilian official uniforms, he immediately understood that Zhao Hu's subordinates had rushed to congratulate them after getting the news.

Lu Jun couldn't help nodding secretly: "It is worthy of being a warlord, and even civil officials have a martial spirit, but this Zhao Hu warlord's military attache is also a civilian, and he can actually play the rule of the people?" It shouldn't be possible, but the people's livelihood has been very good along the way. I really don't understand, well, it looks like I'm going to have to stay here for a few more days to investigate. ”

Lu Jun shook his head and left.

Zhao Hu, who was about to leave, couldn't help but smile when he saw Peter walking briskly with a crowd of people, said a word to Zhou Wen, and entered the conference hall.
