Chapter Twenty-Three: Preparing for War

The envoy of the King of Beihai was quite graceful, neither timid nor arrogant, strode into the hall, walked quickly to a place seven or eight meters away from the throne of Count Andrew, unfolded the scroll that had been held in his hand, and read it aloud.

For Bai Qi, the one who tried to read it, although it was quite difficult, could also understand it.

In the royal edict, the king of Beihai comforted their group of envoys from other countries who came from afar, and questioned Andrei's occupation of the territory of the Great Zhou, and finally, he asked Andrei to lead the delegation to Beihai City, where he would entertain this group of envoys from foreign countries.

Except for Bai Qi and Qin Qing, most of the people present were confused by the envoy's reading of the Wenyan Wang Ling.

Although the language of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not Chinese, the form of writing and the way of writing are almost identical, so Bai Qi and Qin Qing, who have a certain foundation in ancient literature, are much easier to master.

After explaining to Andrei the meaning of the royal decree read out by the envoy just now, he took a step forward and said to the envoy: "My lord, Andrei? His Royal Highness the Count of Fergostein, who has gone through a lot of hardships and crossed the ocean, came to the Great Zhou Dynasty to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty on behalf of the Emperor of the Susi Kingdom in order to establish diplomatic relations. But I don't want the world to be chaotic and dark. ”

"My family crossed the ocean, died for a lifetime, and did not want to give up halfway, so he abandoned the city here to defend himself, and only waited for the Great Zhou Emperor to sweep the world in the future, and then continue to complete the mission of our emperor."

"As far as I know, the king of the North Sea is called king, but he is self-proclaimed and self-proclaimed king, is there anything more rebellious in this world?"

"My lord is an envoy of the Seuss Empire, an earl, how can I meet a rebellious minister and thief?"

"You need to know that my lord is here to represent my Emperor Seuss. Not to mention a chaotic minister and thief, it is the prince of the Great Zhou Emperor. You can't call my family like that. ”

"Your lord is so rude, is it because the knife of the Seuss who deceived me is not sharp enough?"

"Someone. Beat me out of this maniac! ”

As Bai Qi's words fell, two guards in heavy armor rushed forward, one of them lifted one shoulder, lifted him to the door amid the struggles and scolding of the envoys, and threw him out......

The envoy was also a little clever, and while shouting loudly, he walked away quickly, although he seemed to be emotional, but there were no too ugly words in his mouth.

The envoy walked quickly out of the courtyard where Andre was working, seemingly indignant. Waving her hand, she quickly left Wanghai Town with a few guards sent by the North Sea King to protect her.

Leaving Wanghai Town, the envoy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left with the guards......

After driving out the envoys, the military machinery in Wanghai Town immediately began to turn rapidly.

In order to cope with the impending crisis, Andrei transferred all the militia members in the militia battalion who met the standard of first-class warriors, and one of the skilled horsemen was added to the ranks of the rangers, and the Knights of Vogostein added more than fifty people.

Although the people of Beihai are good at riding, after all, they are not a famous family on horseback. This is the only person who can meet the standard of a ranger.

In fact, it is a bit reluctant to fill these first-class recruits into the Rangers, the real Rangers are at least second-level warriors, and two-thirds of the Rangers in the Knights of Fergostan are third-level warriors. There are only a small number of second-class warriors, and these first-class warriors are traditionally not enough to serve as rangers.

But now it's time to do it. Andrei brought a lot of equipment from the continent of Salen, but there weren't enough soldiers to put it to use. At present, the crisis is imminent, and these unqualified soldiers can only be filled indiscriminately.

Andrei also selected a number of excellent militiamen to be incorporated into the original three brigades of the Vogostein Guard. More than 100 veterans were replaced from it, and after combining with the remaining militia, two new infantry brigades were formed, named the Wanghai Guard.

Andrei put these two new infantry brigades under the command of Bai Qi.

As soon as these militias break through the first level of fighters, they are immediately transferred separately to train the standard infantry phalanx and the Monroe phalanx.

In fact, these two phalanxes are not complicated, and after two months of assault training, these recruits have gradually become proficient.

After equipping these militias with battle armor, they can be regarded as beginning to have combat effectiveness.

When these Orientals found out that Andrei had treated them equally, equipping them with the same elite armor as foreign soldiers, their morale was greatly boosted.

Andrei struck with a hot iron and gave each soldier a fief of land.

When dividing the seal, there is no mention of Orientals and Westerners, all of whom are divided according to the rank of the warrior, 100 acres for the first-level warrior, 200 acres for the second-level warrior, 300 acres for the third-level warrior, and 400 acres for the fourth-level warrior.

Since the land has been measured and divided very carefully before, it is only necessary to take out a piece of land and distribute it to the name of the individual.

Andre also promised that if someone died in this battle, the divided land would become his family's eternal field, and as long as Wanghai Town did not fall, it would be passed on from generation to generation.

These separation strategies, which are in line with the culture and tradition of the Orientals, are of course inseparable from Bai Qi's participation.

As soon as the sealing strategy was promulgated, it caused a sensation in Wanghai Town.

In those days, land was undoubtedly the most desired possession of the people, both in the East and in the West, and not to mention the fact that wheat grew on these lands that could not be harvested in a long time, and which had the same allure for those who had just tasted extreme hunger.

Inspired by the land and food, these militiamen, who were just planning to eat for a living, even had some thoughts of swearing to protect their land and food.

……

When the king of Beihai heard that the small foreign envoy group had scolded him for being a rebel and a thief, he was furious and immediately mobilized his army to kill him.

The knight took the opportunity to speak to his immediate boss, Zhao Xiaochen, the commander of the Qinglong Guard.

Zhao Xiaochen is a famous general under the command of the King of the North Sea, in order to win over this person The King of the North Sea even lost his daughter, although this person is only a commander, but the official worships the Ranger General, is the fifth product, and the four generals under the command of the King of the North Sea are on an equal footing.

The knight told Zhao Xiaochen that the foreign envoy group was probably not simple, and the previous time had just defeated the two famous horse thieves in the Beiheng Mountain, the combined forces of the Ghost Horse and the East Horse, and even the Ghost Horse Horse had fallen in the hands of this group of people.

Listening to the knight's words, Zhao Xiaochen was a little surprised, in the Beiheng Mountain, there are more than ten large and small horse thieves, but there are only five shares of the climate, the bandit capital of these five horse thieves is a congenital master, and the momentum is the most victorious, even the king of Beihai does not dare to despise it, and now I heard that Li Zhengkui, the famous and ruthless and difficult ghost horse bandit leader, was actually folded in the hands of those foreign missions, and immediately paid attention to it.

You must know that although innate masters are not rare in Da Zhou, they are not available everywhere.

In the entire Beihai Palace, counting the general's guards, there are only more than ten innate masters.

There are five congenital masters among the horse thieves in Hengshan, or because of the old foundation of the Liu family, these five congenital masters are all old people of the Liu family, and they have practiced superior martial arts since childhood. (To be continued......)
