Chapter 70: The Team (1)

The moon sets and the sun rises, a new day.

It's been a day or two since Zachar returned from the barracks.

Now that the most critical thing is on the right track, the next thing is much simpler.

When Saga came to the province of Blago, he brought more than 100 guards, and these people are now Sagar's personal soldiers, but in fact, they did not help Saga much.

Saga had already prepared to select his future subordinate in the province of Blago.

After all, although Saga has already handed over a large number of affairs to Jiashi, he is still very busy as the commander of the legion.

The major subordinate officials under Zachar's command had to be in place quickly and take over many jobs that should not belong to Zachar at all.

In the Emerald Empire, the affairs of each regular legion are very complicated.

The corps commander was not simply a position of commanding the army in battle. Maybe that was the case in the city-state era, but since the Legion of the Empire became a non-productive professional army, the Legion Commander was no longer a mere command of battle, he was more of a small bureaucracy.

There is a saying in the empire that may vividly describe the special of the legion commander - "To the emperor, the upper duke, the middle governor, the lower legion!"

The meaning of this sentence is probably that His Majesty the Emperor is supreme, the Duke is the superior in the world, His Excellency the Governor is the second level of authority, and although the commander of the army is inferior, he is the most similar to the upper three.

The commanders of the Emerald Empire all have a large number of subordinates.

Not only the five thousand imperial soldiers, but more importantly, a large number of subordinate officers.

Most of the legion commanders of the empire are actually middle-level officials in terms of rank, but why is the status so high, even to the point of seeing other officials two levels higher?

In addition to holding military power in his hands, in fact, it is centralization!

Each legion of the Emerald Empire has its own finance officer, that is, a logistics officer. Prosecutors and magistrates also existed, responsible for the disposition of military justice in the legions, and were in fact commissioners of the Imperial Military Tribunal.

The temple system will also send people to the army to hand over, usually a legion will be equipped with a hundred priests, these nuns have not yet reached the level of priests, but have been able to use some small magic skills, the main role is to heal damage.

Although they are powerful and cannot be treated, for ordinary soldiers, this level of priest is just right, and this is the system most associated with the army.

Almost all of the cardinal archpriests of the Pantheon had accompanied the Imperial army in their conquests and wars, and the Temple system was a natural ally of the army.

Of the five major systems, there is no government affairs system in the army, and this is not an accidental thing, and there are two main reasons.

First, the government affairs system is mainly related to various things related to people's livelihood, and has nothing to do with the military, and there is no need to arrange officials. Second, the military system and the government affairs system are the two most conspicuous systems.

In ancient and modern times, the civil and military rivalries have never stopped, and the same is true of the Emerald Empire.

Unlike many other countries, the empire has 250,000 field troops, but there are no local armies such as garrisons.

However, it is impossible for a city to be without garrisons, so the public security forces under the prosecutor and the large number of jailers under the law enforcement officers have been greatly strengthened.

In addition to maintaining law and order in the city, they also had the heavy responsibility of guarding the city for a short time.

Even so, the procuratorial system cannot compete with the government system, and the consuls in the government system are almost always the most powerful positions.

The reason is very simple, the government affairs system pinched the money bags of the entire city, and even many city lords are people from the government affairs system, so they even have control over the personnel, and naturally they have become the most powerful department.

If you have to rank the strength of the five major systems from high to low, they are probably the military system, the government affairs system, the temple system, the inspection system, and the law enforcement system.

Today, in the entire empire, the military system has the upper hand in all aspects. But we must not relax our vigilance because of the current advantage, from the prime minister of the empire, several bigwigs of the military department, the governor of the empire, down to the commanders of the major armies, the commanders of the large armies, and the commanders of the legions, all of them strictly guard the rise of the government affairs system.

Because the military system has had an era when it was suppressed by the government affairs system.

The empire had two heyday eras, the era of the Three Great Emperors and the era of the Five Virtuous Emperors.

The era of the three emperors was the era when the military system was at its peak, and many famous families were born in that era.

Many of them have been passed down to the present day, the Brandon family, the Alliston family, they are all families of that era.

Then there was the era of the Five Sages Emperor, an era of recuperation for the empire, and the empire had almost stopped all foreign wars.

It is clear that in such an era, the army no longer has any rights.

If the rights of the army are not enough, then the rights of the generals are not enough, and then those military nobles will definitely be suppressed by the consuls of the government system.

You must know that in that era, even the Brandon family was cleaned up, and it still relied on strong strength to survive, and other families can be imagined.

The biggest difference between the era of the Five Sages and the era of the Three Great Emperors is that because there was no foreign war in the era of the Five Sages Emperors, there was no canonization of noble titles, so there would not be many people who could enter the Senate, so the number of famous families in the imperial capital that was born was far less than that of the Three Great Emperors.

With such a big contradiction, it is natural that the military will not give the political officials a chance now.

The only one in the entire empire that will give the consuls a chance is His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor represents a kind of justice, fairness, and he is supposed to be unbiased. As for the others, there are not many who can do it.

Saga has no intention of challenging this rule, after all, he is now a "pure" military system official - the Legion Commander!

Wait until one day when he can take charge of a city or a province as a military attaché, and then talk about the affairs of the administrative officer.

In short, the current Saga needs officials from the other four major systems.

Saga had already talked to Governor Chels about this issue, and Governor Chels gave Saga a note, and Sagar only had to take the note and go directly to the government office of the Governor's Palace.

Because Blago City is a provincial capital, there is no city lord, and the governor takes over the rights of all city lords, and the governor's palace is the city lord's palace.

Therefore, the Provincial Archon is not only the Governor who governs the entire province, but also the Governor who directly governs the city of Brago.

It is said that this right is very great, but when you meet a leader like Governor Chels, who likes to criticize the strips, it feels very pitiful.
