In the early morning of the next day, Lu Jingzhi received two executive orders from the Duke of Wensha. The first permanently renamed the First Legion of Windsor Castle to the Legion of Afaron, and the second officially appointed him as the commander of the Legion of Afaron.

"What a headache. Lu Jingzhi took the second executive order and complained, "Although it used to be the strongest legion in the Duke's territory of Wensha, it has been disabled, and it even says 'Please recover your combat strength as soon as possible', which is simply difficult for a strong man." "Having said that, there is no excuse to delay any longer after getting up, and if you want to increase the strength of the army, one is the source of troops, and the other is logistics, which is no more obvious. So, let's start planning with these two points.

"Forty-nine! Go and invite the new blacksmith and the charcoal master summoned from the border village. Lu Jingzhi called casually, he knew that Sijiu was waiting outside the door. Sure enough, before the words fell, Sijiu answered, and asked again: "This young master, do you want the carpenter master to call together?"

To say that Sijiu is really a lot smarter, he knows that he thinks things ahead of himself. Lu Jingzhi was satisfied, and said, "Call it too." After a pause, he chased Sijiu's back and shouted: "Remember to say 'please'!"

Sijiu responded from afar, and said secretly in his heart: "How big is this, dare to let my young master say the word 'please'?" But since the young master said that he would let him "invite" others to come, he had to be polite. Now when Sijiu thinks of Lu Jing in his heart, he always proudly thinks that it is "my young master", and he no longer secretly calls him "this strange young master" with a little joking before.

Not long after, the carpenter, charcoalsmith, and blacksmith were politely invited by Sijiu to the legion commander's reception room of Lu Jingzhi in the right tower - after being promoted to a high-level knight, Lu Jingzhi naturally moved from the left tower to the right tower, and after getting the appointment, all the resources before Afalon belonged to Lu Jingzhi, even including Afaron's mining estate.

Lu Jingzhi invited the three masters to sit down and talked to them about some things that Sijiu didn't understand. Like wheels, axles, arc armor, etc., there are some things that even the three masters have never heard of, such as bearings, bearings, spring plates. However, Sijiu still listened carefully on the side, in case the young master needed to help him remember something, he could also use it. After talking for more than two hours, it was almost noon, so I stopped to rest.

"So, master carpenter, please design a wooden frame according to this drawing, as long as it is strong, you don't need to consider the weight, but you must do it according to this drawing, a place like this arc may be more labor-intensive, find a few more skillful people in the slave group with the army as apprentices. Lu Jingzhi raised his eyes and looked at the carpenter, and said, "Don't worry that people will want to squeeze you away if they learn the craft." You are my man, and you are always one step above those apprentices. ”

The master carpenter complied, grateful for the promise he had made. Although I don't dare to hide my selfishness without this promise, there is such a sentence, which is more heartwarming than nothing.

"Master blacksmith, if you and the master charcoal master improve the iron-making process in this way, the steel mouth will be much better than the current one. Pay attention to charcoal gas when you work, don't poison it, don't explode it, and if you can, help me collect more of it, and store it in a big jar made by the blacksmith some time ago. After Lu Jingzhi finished speaking, he said with a smile: "The same is true for the two of you, both of you are my people, so don't worry about finding helpers, it's a bit dangerous, just go find some undead servants to do it." Whoever dares to disobey me, let me know, and I will clean them up. ”

The blacksmith and the charcoal maker also agreed, and the three of them went away together. Lu Jingzhi rubbed his face, intending to lift his spirits and get the next step done. Sijiu came up to him at this time and said, "This young master, you haven't eaten yet." ”

Lu Jingzhi raised his head, thought for a while, and said, "Yes, then call the silver heart steamed bacon, sprinkle with some frosting, and then get some fried breadfruit slices to eat." ”

While lunch was being arranged, one of his guards came to report that the Knight of Busen was waiting outside the door and had been waiting for a while.

"What can this guy do? But he came just in time to save me a moment to go to him. Lu Jingzhi hurriedly asked Sijiu to call him in.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your love at the banquet the day before yesterday, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid there would be no knight in the city. Busen made a standard knightly salute and expressed his heartfelt thanks to Lu Jingzhi. Although he is an upright person, it does not mean that he is a fool, and after thinking about it carefully, he knows that Lu Jingzhi is clearly explaining at the banquet, but he is actually saving himself.

Lu Jingzhi nodded slightly and replied with a half-salute, which is the proper etiquette of a high-ranking knight to a knight. After letting Busen sit down, Lu Jing said: "I only took over as the commander of the legion this morning, and I am not familiar with the legion. You are the deputy commander of our army, tell me what you think. ”

Busen did not shirk either, and replied simply: "Your Excellency, our regiment has experienced this great battle, and more than half of it has been lost, and the main task should be to restore combat strength. ”

Lu Jingzhi calmly handed over Ren's order to Busen and said, "The Duke also said the same, asking me to restore the combat strength of the legion as soon as possible." I'm afraid that it won't be long before there will be another battle. ”

Buson said, "What do you think?"

Lu Jingzhi tapped his head lightly with his index finger, beckoned again, and said in Chinese: "Ji should come out from here, and the law will not be passed on to six ears." ”

Although Busen didn't understand, he understood from the movements of the magic envoy, leaned his head over, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, the lower officials think that the problem of manpower should be considered first. ”

Yes, this guy is a man of genius. Lu Jingzhi nodded, and said slowly: "Ordnance, manpower, training, promotion, fiefdom, and goals, these are all important things to consider. ”

Busen was taken aback, originally out of gratitude, he came over to point out the new commander of the legion, how the legion should develop now, but he didn't expect that although this little guy was small, the plan in his heart was far better than his own.

Seeing that Busen didn't answer, Lu Jingzhi asked: "Now that my legion is really understaffed, what good ideas does the deputy legion commander have?"

After a moment's hesitation, Busen replied truthfully: "Your Excellency, I think we should expand the scale of knights and let more knights join my legion. The matter should be requested to ask the Duke to pardon the knights who had been expelled for their negligence, to bring them back, and to redistribute resources to them. In this way, combat effectiveness can be quickly formed. ”

Lu Jingzhi shook his head and said, "Far water can't save near fire." Recruiting dismounted knights to come back is of course necessary, but it may not be immediately effective. It's hard to say whether the duke's side will drag us for a year and a half. ”

Busen said: "Otherwise, we will first recruit those dismounted knights back without the consent of the Duke and take them for our own use." When they arrive on the battlefield, no matter how unhappy the Duke is, he will not risk weakening the combat power of his own army, so he must drive them away. ”

Lu Jingzhi nodded and said, "This method is good, you can do it." But even so, there are only a lot of people that can be recruited in a short period of time. I have a way to borrow your subordinates, are you willing?"

Busen said happily: "The subordinate is only afraid that Your Excellency will not borrow weight, how can there be any reason to be unwilling." "If he can do something for Lu Jingzhi, he is no longer happy.

Lu Jingzhi smiled: "I have borrowed but not returned." ”

Busen said angrily: "If Your Excellency needs it, don't talk about these few servants, even if you take it away with Busen, you don't have anything to say." ”

Lu Jingzhi said: "This is easy to do." You have two servants, I know that......"

Busen smiled a little embarrassedly: "Your Excellency, in fact, there are four, and there are two that have not been reported, and they take turns to fight with me." "As the deputy commander of the legion, he naturally has enough strength to raise three or four quasi-knights, which is not surprising.

Lu Jingzhi said: "Okay." You have four servants, and I will collect them all. There were other knights in the legion, and most of them had two servants. If I requisitioned all these servants and formed a cavalry team, and equipped them with horses and equipment like knights, would we be able to more than double our existing strength?"

Busen hesitated: "Your Excellency, of course my servant is sent by you, there is nothing to say. But the other knights are not so easy to say. If one is not done well, it may provoke a mutiny. ”

Lu Jingzhi said: "You don't have to think much about this, I have my own way." It's just that when you go into battle, there will be no one to help you put on your armor. ”

Busen smiled: "I heard that when Your Excellency was in the legion of Ice Sword Sauer, you used to ask the knights to help each other dress, although the movement was a little slower, it would not hinder the battle. As the deputy commander of the corps, the subordinate can still find someone wearing armor. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Jingzhi and Busen looked at each other and laughed, the matter of insufficient manpower was actually finalized.

Early the next morning, Lu Jingzhi gathered all the knights and asked them to gather their servants together and receive their own special training, but he did not explicitly say that he would take away their subordinates. The content of the training is nothing more than the simple movements of combat, and every day is sprinting, assault, horse fighting, mounted archery, etc. As for chivalry, knightly etiquette and other literacy courses, they are not studied. This kind of professional special training is not the same as learning from the knights while fighting. Only three months later, in the simple brigade cavalry hedge, their combat effectiveness was no less than the same number of regular knights. Even due to the training of cooperative operations, in terms of overall combat strength, Hu Cong cavalry team had a faint victory performance.

Lu Jingzhi was happy, Busen was happy, and Duke Wensha was happy, but the knights who had lost their servants were not happy. In this way, they said that they would take people away, and after teaching for a few months, they were almost like us, and they didn't come back after training, and they let them practice with us. The most annoying thing is that it can still defeat us, which makes us mess up.

However, the compensation given by His Excellency Lu Jingzhi was too tempting, and every qualified servant who served in the legion for one day would be paid to the knight at three times the normal expenditure. In this way, even if you keep two servings for yourself, you can recruit a new servant to serve you.

Only a few knights who never gave their strength and couldn't find new ones complained a lot. They secretly plotted to get an explanation from the duke. Since ancient times, it has been a legitimate tradition for knights to be served by subordinates, so how can there be such a reason to take them away casually? Moreover, it is against the spirit of chivalry and is simply an insult to the title of knight!

However, these guys didn't have the courage to go directly to the Duke after all, but found the Ice Sword Sauer first. They had heard that Ice Sword Sauer had also complained a lot about this practice of the Afalon Legion.

What will Ice Sword Sauer do to these knights of the Afaron Legion, and what will happen to the Duke of Windsor?

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
