Hiring a large number of mercenaries is a long and complicated task.

As for the specifics, Tsepeš asked Wawrinka to provide a detailed proposal within two days.

How much initial capital is needed, how many people can be found in a month, how many people can be found in three months, many things need to be clarified in advance.

Put aside the matter of hiring mercenaries for the time being, and continue to arrange other work.

"I need someone to help me do some dirty work, you guys, who wants to take over."

"Come on, when I was a groom, I did all the dirty work, and I was absolutely competent."

Davar volunteered to take the job.

As a civilian teenager who can't even write his own name, he knows the truth of being a pragmatic person.

Clearly, however, he had misunderstood what Cepes meant, and that the 'dirty' work here did not refer to the work in his stables.

"Davar, I have a job that is more suitable for you to give you, do the 'dirty' work, just leave it to them."

Compared to Davar's self-indulgence, Cepes believes that this former little pony is a potential player worth cultivating.

Moreover, in his heart, he had already thought of a candidate to do the 'dirty work', and while talking to Davar, his eyes swept to Baron Karl.

In fact, if Davar hadn't spoken beforehand, Baron Karl would have taken the initiative to take the job.

Doing the 'dirty work' for the Grand Duke may not be seen in the light of day, but it represents absolute trust and extraordinary rights.

Karl wanted to prove that he was the most outstanding of the entire Berian family, better than his father and grandfather.

As for how much blood it would get on, he didn't care. It makes people fearful, makes people tremble when they hear his name, and it is the thing he yearns for the most in his heart.

While Tsepes looked at him, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said with excitement:

"Lord Grand Duke, I am willing to take this job, please give me this opportunity!"

Looking at the flickering flame of desire in Karl's eyes, Cepes knew that he had chosen the wrong person.

Still, he reminded:

"This job is by no means as glamorous as you think, and it is even possible that it will be burdened with endless infamy.

If you spend the rest of your life with nightmares, would you still be willing to accept this job? ”

"I think about it, even if I let countless people spurn, and even fall into the Flame Hell after death, I will not regret it!"

Karl gave the answer without even thinking about it, and he didn't care about what Tsepes said.

"Hey......"

On the other side, Zartya let out a long sigh, but didn't say anything.

There are some things that someone has to do, and everyone chooses their own path, and he has no right to dictate.

Arthur only glanced at his cousin, and then continued to look at Tepes, waiting for the next step.

"This job is given to you, and when you stay after the meeting, I'll tell you what to do."

Since it is a dirty task, there is no need to say it in front of everyone.

A smile instantly appeared on Carl's face, and it seemed to him a privilege to be left alone to talk.

Next, Tsepes looked at Zartya and said:

"I'm going to rebuild the Eagle Legion."

In a nutshell, for Zartya, it's the most beautiful music in the world.

"I need you to find out the state of the existing fortresses in the principality.

I must know the number of soldiers in each fortress, the strength of their fighting, and whether they can be entrusted with important tasks.

After this work is completed, according to the situation, the plan to reorganize the Eagle Legion will be arranged. ”

On the fiscal side, the figures on the document can give a very concrete picture of the state of the economy.

This is because, every gold coin is the same, and they will not have their own feelings.

And in the military, numbers are only part of the picture.

Where the soldiers dare to fight, where the soldiers are cowardly, these things cannot be expressed by numbers.

Tsepeš had to conduct an all-round survey of the existing standing army, which numbered less than 2,000.

Those who are not qualified, all are eliminated, and those who are decent continue to guard the fortress.

As for those who are excellent, they will be marked and transferred to a higher level of military units.

Civilians who participate in the training each year will also be selected from among them after the training.

The selected ones will be assigned to the stronghold for the next step of training.

Then, as in the previous cycle, after half a year, the best of them will be selected and transferred into the elite troops.

As this continued, Wallachia's own standing army was formed, gradually replacing the Swiss mercenaries.

Of course, the whole process will take at least two or three years, and there is still a strong need for Swiss mercenaries to enter.

Tsepes did not say anything about this series of specific arrangements, and he will not start the next step until the end of the first year of national training.

As a loyal veteran, Zartya didn't ask too much, he stood up, slammed his right fist twice in the left chest, and accepted the task in a way that is characteristic of a veteran.

After arranging Zaltya, Tsepes looked at Arthur and said:

"You go to Baron Karl's domain, bring the taxes back, and start spending money soon.

If you want, you can take Miss Gina with you, there is no one to stop you from being together. ”

"Okay, hehe, I'll leave tomorrow."

With a happy smile on Arthur's face, it is not difficult to see that he will definitely take Gina with him this time.

Stretching out his right index finger and smiling and pointing at Arthur twice, Cepes finally turned to Davar and said:

"Davar, the work I have given you is very important, and you must believe that you are capable of doing it yourself."

"Okay."

Davar said yes, but his immature face was still full of self-doubt.

In the process of gathering the team, he came into contact with civilians, and there was no pressure.

And now, he is at the center of the power vortex, and everyone around him is a great person, which makes him very unconfident.

In front of the others, Cepes could not guide Davar little by little as he did when they first met.

At this time, he could only say in as gentle a tone as possible:

"Thirty of the most astute of our ranks will be selected to go to Baron Stout's domain.

Let them spread the word there that the Ottoman tax dollars were taken by the Bagal guerrillas.

While robbing the tax money, they also killed everyone on Baron Stant's estate. ”

Davar didn't understand military affairs or politics, but of all the people present, he knew the most about life in the city.

Tsepes wanted to make the best use of this, and he wanted to set up a special team to spread rumors and find out the news.

It was clear that Davar and the women and teenagers he had originally recruited were the best candidates for the job.

Spreading the confusing news to the Ottomans was the first task given to this team.

Talking about Baron Stant, who gave him his first job, Davar's expression was slightly sad.

However, he quickly nodded heavily and accepted the task assigned by Cepes.

Everyone present has their own things to do, and as for Captain Goffin, his task is, of course, to take the mercenaries and guard the palace of Curteaia.

"Let's go and do something, just stay for a while."

Everyone left, and Baron Karl, who was in a state of excitement, waited for Tsepeš's orders.
