Chapter 53: Zachar's Rights
Lablar calendar, January 23, fine.
The sky is clear and cloudless, the sun is shining, and even during such periods, the temperature is unusually warm.
It has been more than a month since Saga led a hundred horsemen into the city of Brago.
In the process, Zaga met some people and did some things, and the situation was even better than he imagined.
All this was thanks to the support of the Governor of Chels, who gave him a lot of power over the commander of the corps.
Saga was very touched by this kind of support, after all, this is not something that every superior can do.
The power structure of the empire is very special, and in general it is written by force, so the governors of the provinces on the border have great power.
Among the provinces, the Governor has the highest status, and although he is a pure military attaché, he holds all the military and political power in the province.
You are free to decide whether or not to solicit foreign information and formulate some regulations that do not violate the Emerald Law.
In general, just like the princes of ancient times, they have the right to act alone and arbitrarily in the provinces.
It is a small central administrative body, which is a special feature of the border provinces.
As long as there is no imperial order from the imperial capital, the governor is a provincial emperor who can decide almost anything, and in the twenty-level official hierarchy of the empire, he is also an eighteen-level extremely high official.
Under the governor are the five giants of the province, the provincial consul who controls the entire administrative system, the provincial military officer who controls the army, the provincial prosecutor who controls public security and supervision, the provincial magistrate who controls justice and prisons, and the red-clothed priest who controls the temple system.
The magic system is not long-lasting, and it is uniformly deployed by the central government.
Among these five major systems, the most powerful is naturally the military officer system. However, in contrast, the system often lacks various types of officials, and the management is extremely vertical.
Previously, Governor Chels had told Sagar that in the entire province of Blago, there were only two military officials above the twelfth level, and now only Governor Chels and Saga were left.
In fact, this situation is not uncommon, especially among the central provinces and imperial capitals, there is a constant shortage of such officers, and most of them will appoint a general with rich combat experience to command the army before the war starts.
Anyway, the empire implements a corps system, and as long as there is no big change in the officers at the corps commander level, there will be no problems with the empire's military strength.
In fact, in the past, the empire was not such a system. But later, because there were some powerful generals, some dogs jumped over the wall to rebel.
Therefore, the empire has a relatively strict control over these things, that is, because the border governor needs to fight abroad for a long time, and there is really no way to deprive this military power, so the border can be spared.
Moreover, families like the Brandon family do not want the central government to really completely weaken the martial spirit of the empire, and they do not want civilian officials to turn over.
I'd rather exterminate the rebels 10,000 times, and I must not directly disperse the blood of the empire.
This kind of thing is very important for the Brandon family to say, and it belongs to everyone who should consider it carefully.
The Brandon family's position in the empire needs no more to say.
Although there has never been an emperor, even compared to those famous families in the imperial capital that can be called royalty, it is not far behind.
The Brandon family is a true and well-known minister.
There was a famous family in the imperial capital, Habsden.
This family has had four emperors, one of the Five Sage Emperors. This is the first of its kind in the entire empire.
The situation of the Brandon family can only be said to be a coincidence, and the destiny is like this.
Under this system, Governor Chelse handed over many of the powers that belonged to the sixteenth rank of military officers to Sachar, allowing him to carry out his ideas perfectly.
This has to be said to be a very big trust, if Saga messes things up, Chels will also be disgraced on his face, and even have some involvement in him.
Saga is currently the twelfth level of the legion, and the position of the legion leader is very simple, because the positions are very small, and the fluctuations are very large.
Those high-ranking officials, even those of the eighteenth rank, are not as authoritative as the governor.
For example, the commander of the Emperor's Praetorian Guard is at this level, and the captain of the Senate Guard is also at this level, and some people once said that the Temple Guard seems to be at this level, but no one has ever seen this, and in history, the Temple Guard has hardly ever made a move.
Usually the commanders of these two legions are not ordinary people, and require the collective approval of His Majesty the Emperor, the Senate, and the Pantheon College of Cardinals.
Saga is very clear about this, the Temple Guard is a little special compared to the previous two legions, and the fluctuations in combat power are also relatively large, so his legion leader is actually only a sixteenth-level legion. However, the first legion of the empire, the Pompey Legion, because of its extremely strong strength, the commander of the legion sometimes has a high rank of eighteen.
Saga is naturally not so strong, he is now a twelve-level legion commander, which is the lowest-ranking one among the official legion commanders of the empire, and the thirteenth-level officer who is one level higher than him has the same power as him, that is, the official level is high.
When he reaches the fourteenth level, he is the commander of the Great Army, which can be regarded as a small qualitative change in power.
The Grand Legion Commanders are basically fourteenth- and fifteenth-level officials.
The sixteenth level is the deputy commander of a province, and now the governor of Chels has basically given him this level of authority, allowing him to fully deal with military affairs.
Of course, there will be people who will be dissatisfied, but these people will not be taken to heart by Sachar and Governor Chels.
People from other systems are not qualified to meddle in the military system. It has always been the people of the military system who strongly meddle in other systems, when dare someone to criticize the military system.
As for the military system, there was no one left, and Sachar was the top official, and who dared to speak, so although there were many people who complained about His Excellency's orders, it did not cause any problems.
In fact, Saga really hopes that someone can jump out, he has not experienced a killing of chickens and monkeys, he always feels that something is missing.
Since he came to Blago Province, the whole province of Blago has been too peaceful.
He is such a foreign official, even if he has Governor Chels as a backer, no one should be black.
Sachar had absolutely no belief that the Governor of Chelse would be able to cover the sky in the province of Blago.
The rights granted by the empire to the governors of the provinces are all theoretical, and whether you can really get them back depends on your own wrist.
In the history of the empire, there was not one governor who was set aside, but more.
