Chapter 480: The Second Military and Political Government

A rare heavy snowfall enveloped the entire valley, and it was as if everything had stood still overnight.

The forests around the valley creaked under the heavy snow, and from time to time a large patch fell, and the branches broke off. Frightened, the flock of birds standing in the middle of it flew south

From the top of the hill in the distance, the clearing around the valley's wooden fort left a messy footprint left by hunters who got up early to hunt in the mountains.

As the heart of the valley, the wooden fort is easily recognizable. Since this was Cooper's temporary mansion for the valley lord Art, the fence around it is still made of logs. It's a little simpler, but it's still sturdy.

The roof of the wooden fort was covered with a large amount of snow, and wisps of green smoke rose from the chimneys that protruded

Near the wooden fort is the "new district" where the lords of the valley live, and it is inhabited by high-ranking officers of the Welsh Legion and civil officials.

These houses are slightly lower than the valley wooden fort and extend around the wooden fort in all directions. Although it is not as luxurious as the wooden castle, it is still quite exquisite.

At noon, a two-story mansion mixed with stone and wood is bustling with activity. Spencer, the baggage officer of the Welsh Legion, was entertaining a few friends at his home.

Today, most of the first group of people who went out with Art have become officers above the rank of company commander of the regiment, and the worst ones are also flag captains.

Now that winter is in the cold, the snow is heavy, and the army has gone into a dormant state. The soldiers took turns on leave, and the junior officers were driven to the military academy for academic education. High-ranking officers like Spencer were able to enjoy a rare period of rotational leave.

So Spencer summoned several regimental officers, the civil affairs officer Scott, the construction officer, and the caravan steward Salter to the newly completed mansion for a drink and catch up.

After a few glasses of wine, one by one, their enthusiasm was high, and their faces were flushed. In the fireplace next to him, the sound of sparks exploding could be heard from time to time.

"Spencer," said the company lieutenant Bengda, after burping, "I threw a thousand pfennigh into the caravan the year before, and now, guess how much I earned."

Bangada grabbed a handful of peas from the bowl and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them with relish.

"500 Fennig"

Spencer held out five fingers.

"Not right"

Bangada waved his hand.

"One thousand"

Scott asked again.

Bangada shook his head, "Two thousand"

The crowd looked at Bangada in amazement, regretting that they had invested too little money in the caravan. Only Salter smiled and remained silent, quietly watching a few people.

"Steward Sarth, thanks to your ability to run the caravan. Otherwise, where would I have earned so much for nothing?"

Bangada was smiling, complacent about his wise move.

"Bangada, you've won the prize."

Salter said lightly.

"Oh, it's a pity"

Scott, who was sitting on the side, sighed.

"Scott, what's wrong?"

"Your Excellency has decided to cancel the participation of army soldiers and officers in the operation of the caravan."

"What"

Bangada suddenly panicked.

"Bangda, you listen to me finish talking." Scott took a sip from his glass and wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth.

"Although the army will no longer participate in business after that, the Earl has also reserved a part of the benefits in the caravan for everyone, and at the end of the year, you can get some dividends according to the size of the battle. This part of the money is separated from the battle reward. ”

Several officers were slightly relieved in their hearts.

A few days later, the weather began to clear and the snow gradually melted. The river that flowed through the edge of the valley also began to thaw and flowed into the distance. As the snow melted, the temperature did not rise in the slightest, but became colder.

Although the weather was cold, the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Welsh Regiment were warm.

Yesterday, the legion held a military meeting and decided to release the military exploits of all the people in the battle of the successor today, and the military rewards were also distributed to everyone.

The soldiers toiled for months and finally reaped the fruits of their profits.

According to the final resolution of the military council, the reward is divided into military merit and rear reward.

The main targets of the conquest were officers and enlisted men of all ranks in the Welsh Regiment. The rear reward is mainly based on the performance of the civil affairs group in terms of logistics.

Among them, in the conquest of military exploits, Otto and Angus were promoted to lead barons, focusing on military affairs and having fewer fiefs. In addition to their original fiefdoms, each was rewarded with a manor in Tignats, which could be named after their own surname. In view of the fact that the two of them were high-ranking officers of the Welsh Legion, and they were often away from home or busy with the affairs of the Legion, the manor could be entrusted to the administration of the civil administration.

In addition, each of them was rewarded with 10,000 gold coins worth 10,000 fennig and a luxurious mansion around the valley wooden fort, which was built by the civil administration. It will be delivered to two people when it is completed.

Kazak and Bas were promoted to knights of the banners, and each was rewarded with a set of luxurious mansions in the county, each with a reward of 5,000 fennigs.

Felix, the captain of the Sapp Company, maintained the original barony and officially canonized the Sapp Collar to him, becoming the de facto master of the Sapp Ring. At the same time, a reward of 10,000 pfennigs.

Baron Antayas maintained his original title unchanged and officially canonized Fort Andermatt and a surrounding village to him, rewarding him with 5,000 pfennigs.

The rest of the company commanders, such as Colin, Weez, Spencer, Bangada, Andrew, Tridok, and others, were promoted to the rank of one rank and rewarded with a small and medium-sized estate in the county. At the same time, the reward ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 pfennigs according to the size of the military merits.

Higher-level flag captain-level officers such as Rig and others were promoted to the next level and awarded the title of knight. At the same time, the reward ranges from 2,000 to 3,500 pfennigs.

Officers with major military exploits at the grassroots level have become knightly squires and promoted to midshipmen. Prizes range from 1,000 pfennigs to 2,000 pfennigs.

Among the soldiers, those who made great meritorious contributions were promoted to knight squire, and the reward ranged from 500 to 1,000 fennigs.

Rear Reward.

Cooper, the civil governor, was promoted to the rank of baron, and was rewarded with a large manor in the county. At the same time, the reward is 10,000 fennig.

Scott, the canton, was promoted to the rank of Knight of Honor for his meritorious service in leading the army to defend the valley. A small manor was rewarded, and three thousand pfennighs were bounted.

Lawrence, the construction officer, was also promoted to the rank of Honorary Knight and was rewarded with several pieces of fertile land. At the same time, the reward is 1,500 pfennigs.

The other civil officials were no longer fiefdoms, and were rewarded with a reward ranging from 500 to 1,000 fennigs, depending on the merit.

In addition, Salter, the commercial steward, kept his original title unchanged and rewarded him with a reward of 5,000 pfennigs. The other caravan stewards were rewarded with five hundred to two thousand fennigs, depending on the merit.

Where there is a reward, there is a punishment.

In addition to the officers, soldiers and civil officials who were rewarded in the Battle of the Successor, Art also beheaded the deserters who absconded in the Battle of the Successor and were taken back by the Judge Advocate Corps to show the public in order to suppress military law.

In addition, due to the gradual complexity of civil affairs personnel, there are also some corrupt officials. In the same way, Art was beheaded to show the crowd as a punishment and to warn the people.

After the military merit and military reward were implemented, the valley was lively for a few days. Many officers and soldiers traveled between the county tavern and the Moulin Rouge with their money, enjoying the rare benefits of the post-war period.

Some soldiers with families took the bounty money home, or renovated their houses to buy farm tools, livestock, food, and meat for their families. Or ask the craftsmen of the valley to build themselves a decent wooden house.

In this battle, Burry, as the squad leader, received the most rewards among many junior officers and soldiers, reaching 1,000 pfennigs. At the same time, he became a squadron leader as he wished.

Burry, who had received the bounty, did not run to the tavern for recreation or to pile up on the women, as he had done before.

This time, he took the reward money and went to the civil administration to buy a homestead in a village between the valleys. Then he took the certificate issued by the civil administration and hired a few craftsmen to build him a small house made of stone and wood, which would be used as his place to live thereafter.

In Emma's tavern next to Wooden Castle in the Valley, after arranging the construction of the house, Burry does not forget the old feelings, and calls his friend Hans and the chief Rig to catch up together.

"Come, Brother Hans, Sir Rig, I give you a glass. Thank you both for taking care of me in the army. Dry"

"Dry"

The three of them drank it all.

"Burry, how do I think this wine is different from what you have invited us to drink in the past."

Rigg wiped his chin, a long aftertaste in his mouth.

"Chief Rig is indeed a man who has seen the world," Burry flattered as usual, "and this is a good wine that I have paid a great price for. ”

"I said it"

Burry quickly stood up and filled the two of them with their cups.

"Bury, I heard that you have been studying cultural knowledge at the Military Academy during this time"

Burry smiled, swallowed the stew in his mouth, and said, "That's, my Burry is running for the position of flag captain." ”

"I've heard that you're always moving around on the stool, like a worm?"

Hans quipped.

"Hahaha, I'm not used to it."

Burry scratched his head, looking adorable.

Seeing that Bury is so motivated now, Rig couldn't help but sigh, "Burry, come well, I wish you to become the flag captain of the legion as soon as possible." Cheers"

The three of them raised their glasses and drank together, and the laughter of several people could be heard from time to time in the tavern.

A few days later, Art organized the senior officers of the regiment to reorganize the military system.

According to the previous plan, the 1st Regiment of the Welsh Regiment remained in its original structure. Otto remained the head of the 1st Division. Kazak remained unchanged in his original position, acting as the head of the sub-regiment and responsible for daily training.

The Southern Xinjiang Garrison Corps became independent and was no longer called the Second Branch of the Wells Corps. It is divided into the garrison company of Tignats, the company of Sap, and the company of Fort Andermatt. Its current duty is mainly to protect southern Xinjiang. Once there is a combat mission, it will go with the army as a reserve force of the 1st Regimental of the Wells Regiment.

The Valley Garrison Corps was reorganized into the Welsh Provincial Garrison, with a quota of 300 Frontier Guards, the Border Post Garrison, and several Artsy garrisons in Tiniez County being incorporated into the Welsh Provincial Garrison, and the Marsieburg Company being incorporated into this regiment. The main duties of the Welsh Provincial Garrison Corps are to maintain law and order in the province, guard against foreign enemies, and eliminate mountain bandits.

In addition, the formation of the Western Garrison Corps, stationed in the city of Beaune. The defenders numbered 500 men, with the former Welsh Regiment as the core. It is responsible for guarding the western border and maintaining the law and order and stability of Beaune City. Otto Interim Acting Chief.

In addition, Yate also reorganized the structure of the army.

The position of Ombudsman is similar to that of a political commissar and is responsible for supervising the exercise of authority by officers at all levels of the corps within the scope of their duties. Once ultra vires and favoritism are discovered, report to Commander Art. Yate organized a military conference to punish the relevant people.

The former military judges and ideological and political officials were under the command of the Supervision Officers, who assisted the Supervision Officers in supervising whether officers and soldiers at all levels had violated military law. Military judges are sentenced at the same time.

The Ombudsman is lower than the military commander of the same rank and belongs to the second-in-command. It is only responsible for supervising officers at all levels and has no right to mobilize the army. The salaries of the Ombudsman and his subordinate officers are also paid by the Civil Administration.

At the same time, the establishment of the Welsh Provincial Military Affairs Office consists of the General Staff, the War Department, and the Baggage Department, and the Government Affairs Office consists of the Ministry of Tun Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Public Works, the Workshop Department, the School Department, and the Medical Department.

The General Staff Department is composed of senior officers above the deputy commander of the regiment sub-regiment, the Operations Department is composed of senior officers above the company commander level, and the Baggage Department is still managed by Spencer.

The Ministry of Commerce was headed by Scott, the Ministry of Commerce was under the management of Salter, the former construction officer Lawrence was in charge of the Ministry of Works, the Workshop Department was managed by a senior craftsman selected by Cooper, the Academy Department was managed by the original senior faculty members, and the Medical Department was in charge of the former military doctor Thomas.

The reason why Art was in a hurry to build a complete civil and military system was that in addition to being easy to manage, he had to establish the institutional management framework of Wales Province while Flender was still struggling with the restoration and construction of the new princely state. According to what he knew about Flanders, the newly promoted Marquis of Burgundy would definitely send people to participate in the construction of the military and civil affairs system in Wales later. As a result, Art is bound to be constrained at every turn.

Now that the military-political and civil affairs framework has been set, even if Flender sends people to intervene and monitor, Art can find a reason to send these people away.

Now that everything is in place, the next step is to build on the existing foundations and frameworks for the development of production and commerce in Wales.

In March, the snow gradually melts and the weather slowly warms up. Preparations are already underway across Wales for the upcoming spring planting.

Previously, a large number of farm tools and materials brought back by the Ya special order caravan had been distributed to the people of the valley under the arrangement of the civil administration.

After a cold winter, the new province of Wales is gradually rejuvenated.

Other uncultivated land in the county has been renovated and fertilized, and the seeds will be planted in the following spring planting season. In the autumn harvest season, it brings several times the return to the owner of the land.

The wasteland to the south of the workshop area has also been reclaimed under the organization of the civil administration. Thereafter, large tracts of fertile land south of the valley will become a grain-producing region for Wales. Along the way, residential areas, business areas, and workshop areas will be gradually built

Once construction is done on the southern side of the valley, Art will reach further south. There is his former home, there are memories of his youth
