Chapter 42, Conscription Order
"Robinson, which of you have ties to the Barbarian Tribe?"
Yifei mentally counted the number of soldiers under his command, and then calculated in his heart, and found that his strength was a little lacking. At this time, looking at the white neutral villages on the map, he suddenly had an idea, so he asked.
Barbarian tribes? Robinson and the others heard Yifei's inquiry, but no one came out to talk.
What a joke, who would associate with those unreasonable barbarians, who would draw their swords without saying a word, and who would be more difficult to deal with than those greedy nobles.
Looking at everyone's reactions, Yifei was immediately disappointed, so he asked suspiciously, "You haven't dealt with barbarians for many years?" ”
"My lord, no one wants to deal with those wild people, unless they don't want to live" Looking at Yifei's eyes, Robinson said helplessly.
"Yes, my lord, they don't make sense at all."
"Rumor has it that they also cannibalism."
Hearing Robinson's homecoming, the rest of the people said one after another.
"Hillary, you've seen a lot, do you know any barbarians?" Hearing the words of several people, Yifei helplessly asked Hillary, who did not speak on the side.
"My lord, in fact, the so-called barbarians are a general term for those races that have not returned to the empire, and they have their own culture and customs, just like the blood wolf race, before they returned to the empire, they were also a race of barbarians, and they have been deceived too many times in the past, so they are unwilling to trust strangers, and they are rarely willing to deal with people of other races," Hillary said respectfully.
After listening to Hillary's introduction, Yifei understood that in fact, the barbarians in this world were the same as the people in those regions with a relatively high level of civilization in his previous world history.
For example, in the ancient Zhou Dynasty of China, the inhabitants were divided between Huaxia and Siyi: the southern ethnic minorities were barbarians; Oriental ethnic minorities are razed; Western ethnic minorities are Rong; The northern ethnic minority is Di.
After understanding this, Yifei suddenly asked, "Hillary, if I want to hire some barbarian soldiers, can you have a way to contact them?" ”
Hire barbarian soldiers? Hearing Yifei's words, several people in the hall suddenly froze, this idea is a bit whimsical!
"My lord, this is a bit of a trick, and now they don't believe much in the Empire," Hillary said with some embarrassment.
Looking at Hillary's expression, Yifei said with a smile: "Just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's impossible, so let's go and ask the people of the Blood Wolf Clan, since they are also members of the Barbarian Clan, they should also have some connection with other Barbarian tribes!" ”
"Yes, my lord!"
After discussing the key issues, Yi Fei began to give orders, first he asked everyone to select fifty to one hundred men who were familiar with the local situation to report to Ye Fengcheng.
Then ask Hillary to send the letter of appointment to the Blood Wolf Clan, indicating his attitude, and at the same time telling him that the Blood Wolf Clan must contact other barbarian tribes.
In the end, he ordered the other sheriffs under his command to return to the village, and selected some of the dead soldiers to form a caravan with a high salary, and went to the blood wolf clan in a high-profile manner, but he could not bring many goods with him each time.
And he also specifically instructed that in case of danger, they were allowed to drop their goods and escape.
Everyone was puzzled by his last order, and they all looked at him with puzzled eyes.
Seeing everyone's doubts, Yifei just said simply, I have to give them an identity! As for whether the people understood this or not, he didn't explain it much.
Hehe, the matter of directly attacking the private army of the Moffett family, if it spreads, it will definitely not be good, but if they are given the identity of a thief, it will be reasonable, at least it will not leave people with an excuse to attack the Wolf family, at most they think that the Wolf family and the Moffett family are not in harmony
After Marven left Wolf City angrily, he came directly to Maple Leaf Fortress, found his cousin Matt, who served in the logistics department of Maple Leaf Fortress, and angrily told him about his experience in Wolf City.
For a little knight who dared not to sell the face of their Wind Bird family, Matt was also extremely angry, his eyes rolled, and he thought of a way.
"Brother, don't be angry, now that he's an archon, that's fine, we'll just have to" Matt said his thoughts.
When Marven heard Matt's words, his eyes lit up, and he was immediately very happy, and said excitedly: "Haha, I'll go back to Ye Feng City to contact other families, and then I will definitely let that arrogant kid know the consequences of offending our Wind Bird family!" ”
After that, Marven returned to Maple City from Maple Leaf Fortress with his entourage, and at the same time, a requisition order from Maple Leaf Fortress also appeared in front of Locke.
What, to recruit a thousand knights from the Wolf Family? After Locke looked at the requisition order in front of him, he couldn't believe it, what kind of joke was this, recruiting a thousand knights from a family whose title was a knight was not in line with the rules of the empire at all.
Thinking of this, Locke directly sent a letter of inquiry to Marshal Chauvin, the commander-in-chief of the Maple Leaf Fortress.
A few days later, Marshal Chauvin's reply arrived, and after reading the reply, Locke suddenly couldn't find any reason, so he had to personally send the call order to Yifei, and at the same time prepare to explain the reason to him.
By the way, offer some help, after all, that position was canonized by him to the Wild Wolf Family!
Autumn Battle, in the name of the Imperial Military Department, I appoint you as the commander of the 47th Legion Brigade of the Empire, and before the autumn of next year, at least one knight brigade will be formed to come to Maple Leaf Fortress to participate in the Autumn Battle. [Signature: Maple Leaf Fortress Duke Chauvin]
"What is going on, Lord Earl?" Looking at the conscription order sent by Locke, Yifei was a little puzzled, why the military department suddenly sent a conscription order to the Wild Wolf family.
Through this period of understanding, he also knew that generally speaking, the military department would rarely issue a conscription order to a small family like him alone, and these small families generally followed the local big family to participate in the battle.
Hearing Yifei's inquiry, Locke was a little embarrassed, and he said apologetically: "Brother Yifei, in fact, I am also to blame for this, last time in order to help you win the title, I exaggerated the fact that you defeated the orcs a little, so the military department became interested in you."
In addition, now that you are the consul of the Khachid Mountains, the military headquarters can recruit you alone. ”
I'll go, and this trick thing! Yifei was speechless when he heard Locke's explanation.
But after thinking carefully about the words in Locke's mouth, he was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "My lord, is this archon of the Khachidian Mountains different from other archons?" ”
Hearing Yifei's inquiry, Locke smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Brother Yifei, I'm sorry, I just wanted to compensate you before, but who knew that the Archon of the Khajid Mountains had such a special place, and now I don't know if it's good or bad"
After listening to Locke's explanation, Yifei understood the special feature of the archon in the Khajid Mountains, as he had previously understood, that this official position was established to facilitate communication between the empire and the barbarians in the Khajid Mountains.
At the same time, another task is to hire some barbarian warriors from the barbarians to participate in the annual autumn battle against the orcs, and the number is not very large, a brigade is sufficient, and its purpose is still to win over those barbarians in the mountains.
A long time ago, this thing has been going well, and after participating in the battle every year, the barbarian warriors who have seen the flowery world outside have become the best propagandists when they return to the tribe, and this is how the races that have returned to the empire have developed.
Since the barbarian rebellion more than a hundred years ago, this official position no longer exists, and this matter is no longer over.
But now that this official position has been appointed again, according to the tradition of the Empire, this matter will of course continue.
After understanding what was going on, Yifei directly stretched out a hand in front of Locke and said, "Take it!" ”
"What?"
"Conscription orders and military expenses!"
"Military spending? What is military spending? ”
"Don't you need money to hire barbarians, do you have to pay for these expenses privately by our wolf family?" Looking at Locke's confused look, Yifei couldn't help but say nervously.
"Hahaha, it turns out that this is it, Brother Yifei, you can rest assured, these expenses are all paid by the empire. After the battle, the Empire will compensate you twice as much for all the consumption, and the conscription order is clearly written. After understanding what was going on, Locke laughed and took out the call order and handed it to Yifei.
Double! Doesn't that mean that the profit in the middle is very large. After hearing Locke's words, Yifei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but think in his heart.
At this time, he was a little strange, this is obviously a good thing, why no one wants to do it? So he spoke out the doubts in his heart.
Hearing Yifei's inquiry, Locke said with a wry smile: "If you have money, you also have to spend your life, and you need to exchange it for military merit." Those barbarians are a bunch of uncivilized people, and it is difficult to deal with them at all, and it is a question whether they can be hired or not."
"Brother Yifei, if you really can't contact the barbarians, just send a thousand farmers from the territory at will." At the end of his speech, Locke suddenly whispered.
Is that okay? Hearing Locke's words, Yifei couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
"Hehe, as long as you're still the archon of the Khajid Mountains, then you say this kind of thing is it." Looking at Yifei's eyes, Locke said indifferently.
"Of course, you need to pay for it yourself!"
After listening to Locke's words, Yi Fei immediately understood that this was the otherworldly version of the copycat!
