Chapter 15: The Kingdom Reward
Wiped out the Black Wind Mountain, burned down its cottage, beheaded the one-eyed bear and its four vicious dogs, and collected all the other robbers.
Lu Bu, Chen Gong and Gao Shun fought in the first battle of the other world, according to the previous agreement, the official city began to be built at the mouth of the canyon ten miles away from Erin Town, and there were some skilled craftsmen in the Black Wind Mountain itself, plus a large number of gold and silver treasures were collected from its treasure house, of which the gold coins alone were close to one million, which was enough to build a small city.
What's more, there was already cheap labor, and after those robbers were co-opted, they were afraid of following in the footsteps of the bosses, so they all worked hard, and hired some laborers from the town of Erin next door, and for a while there were rapid changes taking place outside the town of Erin. The three hundred militiamen led by Berg fell in love with this feeling after enjoying the joy of victory in the battle, and none of them were willing to leave this place again.
LΓΌ Bu asked Gao Shun to select soldiers from the more than 10,000 robbers he had recruited, and selected 1,000 to form a trap camp, so that he could make the name of the trap camp famous in this world; while Edward led a thousand men and horses, assisted by Napru, mainly to build fortifications on the side of the canyon; Chen Gong was mainly responsible for the management of the rear and the construction of the city, and was busy for a while.
Lu Bu himself has become the most idle person, after all, he is busy with construction at this time, I believe that in less than three months, it must have begun to take shape, and the building materials can be taken from the local materials, and the stone is mined from the mountain, I have to say that the geographical location of this place is really very suitable for building a city.
Of course, Lu Bu is not idle, he is constantly scouting the surrounding environment, especially for the major bandit dens are the key objects of care, his previous deployment is to clear all the robbers around him, strengthen his strength, and let himself have enough combat power in this world.
In the following time, Lu Bu and Gao Shun attacked the robbers with 5,000 soldiers in the camp where the training was about the same, one was to eliminate the surrounding bandit dens and leave a safe enough environment for their small city, and the other was used for military training, there was nothing more suitable for training than actual combat.
Chen Gong always gave advice to Lu Bu and Gao Shun, every time it was a surprise victory, the surrounding robber dens were uprooted one by one, for a time the robbers for Lu Bu and Gao Shun led by the army can be said to be rumorful, and in his plundered more and more resources, the army is also growing more than 30,000 people for a time, large and small robber dens have been uprooted no less than a dozen.
"Lord, you see, the surrounding robbers have almost been cleaned up, and the rest are a few relatively large bandit dens, with more than 10,000 people and easy to defend and difficult to attack, with our current military strength, it is better not to attack easily. Chen Gong spread out the map, then drew it in a circle, and then said in a deep voice: "The original attack on Black Wind Mountain was also because of the unpreparedness of attacking it, and now the major cottages have been wary of us, and the most important thing is that these cottages are far away from us, and there is no need to go out of their way to clear them, as long as they don't threaten us, we can let them go." β
"Gongtai is right!" Lu Bu nodded and said with a smile: "Now our belongings are piled up, and the regular army has reached 10,000 people in addition to Gao Shun's 3,000 camp, which is enough to protect this place, so that ordinary cottage people dare not come to harass us." β
Lu Bu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the hot work outside the hall, feeling that everything was developing in a good direction, and even if he continued to fight, he felt a little bored and needed to relax. Lu Bu was wearing a shiny leather armor at this time, which was made of the skin of the Mountain Boar King, because the leather was very large, including Chen Gong and Gao Shun had made more than a set, as for the two fangs, they were refined into Gao Shun's spear and Chen Gong's sword, and he himself felt that there were no good weapons, in fact, they were all about the same, so he created an ordinary Fang Tian painting halberd.
"Lordship, the kingdom...... The kingdom has come. Berg ran to the council hall out of breath, and said breathlessly: "The people from the kingdom said that they were going to take the lord to the capital to be crowned, and that you were meritorious in suppressing bandits, and that you would be given a title! From now on, you will be a nobleman." β
"Honored, noble?" Lu Bu couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and asked curiously: "Is the king here sick?
"Lord, this is a good thing!" Edward was overjoyed, and analyzed: "This is the northwestern part of the Elam Kingdom, located in a remote area, extremely difficult to govern, and the Flying Eagle City, which is five hundred miles away from here, has been inactive, resulting in rampant robbers, and now the lord has attacked so many robbers, it is estimated that it is okay to be named a viscount, but the nobles have always looked down on the commoners, and the title should not reach the level of a viscount." β
Edward began to explain the aristocratic system for LΓΌ Bu, Chen Gong and Gao Shun, in which the general titles are divided into five ranks: duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male, and then the above is the prince, and the prince is generally a relative of the emperor to be crowned. And the viscount is often the real nobleman can be hereditary, whether it is a territory or a title, and the baron can only be regarded as a nobleman, also known as a temporary nobleman, whether it is a title or a fief, can only be passed on to future generations, therefore, the baron is generally used to reward meritorious ministers, but it is difficult to obtain the title of viscount.
"So what?" Lu Bu pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "What do I want, it's all up to my own will, why should I listen to other people's orders and look at other people's faces?"
Lu Bu was already a prince in his previous life, and he had been in a high position for a long time, so how could he still be subservient to others? What's more, Lu Bu felt that he had finally come to this world, and at least he had to do something earth-shattering, otherwise wouldn't he be sorry to do it all over again?
Nobles are often privileged, for example, nobles can easily execute slaves, can punish commoners, etc. Edward didn't want Lu Bu to miss this opportunity, after all, only after obtaining the nobility could he take revenge, and said: "As long as the lord becomes an official nobleman, he can paint Erin Town and its surroundings as his own territory, and then he can develop it clearly!"
Lu Bu naturally also knows the benefits of being knighted, in his previous life, he was a Marquis of Wen, but at that time, not many people recognized it, and his power was even more limited, unlike the aristocratic titles in this world, which had many substantial benefits. Lu Bu couldn't help but glance at Chen Gong, and found that Chen Gong was also nodding, and it seemed that he should agree, but it was clear that the kingdom wanted to use his hand to sweep away the robbers, but he knew that he wanted to get into it again?
