Chapter Ninety-Nine: Prospects
Yunlang looked in the direction of Doug Hall's departure, lost in thought.
Vivian, who was waiting on the side, blamed herself a little and asked in a low voice, "Is Vivian ....... Sabotaged your plan?"
"Ugh....... Why do you say that?" Yun Lang looked at her a little strangely after coming back to his senses.
"Vivien only now understands that you want to win over the Hall family and work for you....... Vivien shouldn't have scolded Doug Hale, it would make him jealous and sabotage your plans. She wasn't very good at pondering this, and although she realized it now, it was too late, so she was a little uneasy.
"Ha......" Yunlang laughed: "No! We are looking for a friend, so we don't need to keep our voices down." What's more, if we don't show strong enough, they will question my determination and intentions. ”
Doug Hall has no right to decide things, and he has no intention of talking about it. Hall was also anxious to relay the matter to his patriarch, and then took his leave, and Yunlang did not stay.
This back and forth is like a collapse of the conversation, and it is inevitable that Vivien will feel uneasy.......
Yun Lang possessed and pulled up two skewers of hot barbecue, handed one to Vivian, and the other for self-eating, and persuaded softly: "In the future, don't think nonsense, even if you really do something wrong, I will cover it for you!"
Hearing this, Wei Wei's anxiety in peace of mind was suddenly swept away, replaced by an indescribable sense of happiness.
Mansha personally saw Doug Hall away, and due to the short distance, she soon returned.
The three of them sat down around the campfire again, and Yun Lang didn't mention anything about the Hale family, but talked about the previous discussions.
"Mansha, what do you think about the matter of appropriately increasing the rank of warrior discussed earlier!" Yun Lang asked Mansha very seriously.
Speaking of this topic, Mansha's eyes lit up and she immediately replied: "My lord, this kind of thinking of yours is really clever and admirable. After the proper separation of ranks and positions, it is easier to clarify the promotion rules, and all guards and soldiers will have a clear direction for promotion, which will undoubtedly greatly improve their enthusiasm, and from my standpoint, I firmly support it. ”
Yun Lang heard what she was saying, nodded, and motioned for her to continue.
"But....... My lord, I have never heard of this kind of military system, and I really don't dare to express my opinions indiscriminately, if my lord has mature considerations, can I say them all, so that I can think more clearly......." Mansha hesitated for a long time, but still didn't dare to comment indiscriminately.
"Ha, in that case, I'll be ugly, try to explain it in more detail!"
He continued: "As I mentioned earlier, the addition of military ranks, ten-commander, centurion, thousand-commander, and ten-thousand-commander, makes it related to the treatment of soldiers, and also indirectly affects the deployment of positions.
For example, a newly recruited soldier, after training, can be fully qualified, can be awarded the rank of Commander of the Ten, and when he has fought one after another, after gaining merit, he can be promoted to the rank of Commander of the Ten. If he performs well and continues to receive more credit, he can be promoted to the rank of Captain of the Ten and take on the position of Squad Leader.
After being promoted to squad leader, personal combat merits are not used as the main assessment criteria, but mainly based on his ability to command the squad. If the squad led by him performs well after several missions in a row, then the squad leader can be promoted to the rank of centurion. After that, he gradually accumulated merit and achievements in this area, until he was promoted to the rank of centurion and centurion, and held the position of squadron leader.
As for the commander and the commander of 10,000, the assessment method is similar to that of the centurion, mainly based on the commander's ability and military exploits. The commander and commander can serve as the garrison officer of each checkpoint and important outpost, while the commander and commander can serve as the commander of the warband formally formed in the future.
Starting from the commander, it can be uniformly replaced with the title of general, and serve as the military commander of a certain area....... My general consideration, that's it, do you have anything to add?"
Mansha listened very carefully, refusing to miss the slightest detail, and at the same time thinking quickly based on her own experience.
When Yunlang asked, she also had some considerations of her own: "My lord, these plans of yours have become mature and complete, and I really don't have the ability to do better." However, from what I know, I think that if you want to make it easier for the fighters to accept, you can add additional decorations appropriately. For example, starting with the rank of centurion, the title of knight of honor will be more intuitive and will make them more desirable. ”
"It's ....... I don't have a knighthood now, but I don't have the right to bestow it. Yun Lang was a little embarrassed, but then he said to himself: "However, it's not difficult to find a way to get a knighthood.......
Later, after thinking about it, he turned to Mansha: "I don't know much about the current military system of the empire. If I want to set up a warband in my territory, what are the obstacles? ”
Mansha owed, put down the food in her hand, and spoke eloquently.
"The military system of the Empire, from top to bottom, is roughly: Royal Elite Knights, Imperial Knights, Warbands, Garrisons.
The Royal Elite Knights are the most powerful, and the selection standards are extremely high, and it is difficult to enter the Royal Elite Knights before the age of twenty if they cannot enter the third order. This army was served by the current emperor's battle lady-in-waiting, Jona Lulu.
Imperial Knights, there are five in total, Dragon Wing, Dragon Fang, Eagle, Silver Leopard, Golden Rhino...... Your father is currently the head of the Liuyun family, and he is in charge of the Eagle Knights, and he is also the only knight order commanded by the Elector.
There are about forty of them, ranging in size, from more than 1,000 people to five or six thousand, and in terms of overall combat strength, they are far inferior to the well-equipped and well-equipped regular knights. Even, if you want to resist a regular knight order, you need at least five or six warbands to fight together, so that it is possible.
The empire also has a clear rule that except for the territory of the elector, the lords directly under the empire are not allowed to form knights and warbands....... However, it is also extremely easy to circumvent this provision.
Since the lords of various places can add levels and configure guards according to actual needs. As long as you set up a few levels under the appropriate name, and then use them uniformly, you will be a veritable warband...... However, there is a difficult problem to solve is that the cost of maintaining each level is the responsibility of the province itself, so it is rare for a lord to use this reason to form a warband. ”
Mansha said in detail, and Yunlang also listened to it with relish.
"Thank you for your advice....... Yun Lang thanked him and said leisurely: "Mansha, these things are not difficult to solve....... In the near future, we can close some levels appropriately, and then reasonably adjust the location of the next level, and use the saved resources and guards to form two large-scale battle groups to garrison a certain level. ”
"My lord, with the power under your control, it is not difficult to realize this plan!" Now Mansha, whose confidence has increased greatly, no longer doubts about it.
