Chapter 230: Open Fight and Secret Fight

In addition to the two large legions of the Northern Legion and the Southern Legion, the Northern Chu Kingdom does not have legions of this scale in other provinces, they are all like the Legion of the Two Realms Pass to guard a city, and the larger ones are like the Guards Legion and the navy in the east, with a scale of more than 100,000 people, and there are no more than 200,000.

Subsequently, the western provinces will be used as a blind place to form the Western Army, and Shao Zhi will serve as the commander of the army.

Although the western provinces are not as prosperous as the northern and southern provinces, it is naturally not a problem to coordinate the original two 50,000-strong army corps and expand and organize a large army of 200,000 or 300,000 people.

This was the result of William Snyck's strong advocacy, and with the Northern Army and the Western Army, they could have more military power than the undefeated Southern Army.

"Your Majesty, by all means!" the undefeated opposition was expected by a group of civil and military forces, "It is not child's play to lead a legion, not to mention that it is a large legion that governs a province, how can a yellow-mouthed child be the commander of the legion." ”

objected unceremoniously, and let the seven orifices who were less angry smoke, but the other party was undefeated, and he didn't dare to shake his face, so he could only grit his teeth secretly.

"The prince of Zhenguo is too worried, the eldest prince is outstanding, enough to command a legion, and the eldest prince is not the only one in the legion, and he can send capable generals to assist. Naturally, William Sneck stepped in to make the decision for his grandson.

The two of them went toe-to-toe and argued in the court, until Shaotian Zhan tirelessly stopped them, "It's not too late to draw conclusions when I tell me about the arrangements of my other two princes." ”

"Hmph~" Win Undefeated snorted coldly at William, but did not continue to dwell on this matter, no one blamed the rudeness of winning and undefeated, the Sneike family did too much, it was not enough to control the Northern Legion, and they actually wanted to control a large legion.

"The fifth prince Shao'an is very talented, has a very high talent for magicians, and became a fourth-level magician at a young age, I am very relieved, and ordered to join the palace mage group, and build a mage tower for it in the royal capital. ”

The arrangement of the five princes did not make too many waves, the fourth-level magician did not have a high status in the palace mage group, and there was still a long way to go to control the mage group, and the construction of the mage tower was just to spend more money, not his own money, and even William Snyck, who was the chancellor of the exchequer, did not object.

Even if there is no five princes, the Sneike family can't control the mage group, those arrogant swans, no matter what your identity is, how strong the warrior is, as long as they are not magicians, they can't look down on them.

William is a magician, yes, but he doesn't dare to reveal the identity of the dark mage, otherwise the first to attack them will definitely be the court mage group and the mage guild, these self-proclaimed orthodox mages regard the dark mage as an enemy.

"Ahem" won undefeated and coughed a few times, seemingly trying his best to keep his voice down, but everyone in the court could hear it clearly.

"Well, there is also the third prince Shaoyang, who was frightened by the assassination last time, and he has governed Songhai City well in the past two years, so let's be crowned as the lord of the Northern Wilderness. "Shaotian Zhan doesn't care about the Dao, but he doesn't know if he doesn't care about Shaoyang or the Northern Wilderness.

The Northern Wilderness Territory was threatened by werewolves and was never taken seriously by the kingdom, and in the eyes of the magnates of White Emperor City, it was just a barren land, and the entire Northern Wilderness Territory was not as good as half of the Western Province in their eyes.

Even so, this appointment also caused a wave of waves, including Shaozhi, several princes, after reaching adulthood at the age of sixteen, were given a city as a fief, and there was only one, the Northern Wilderness was barren, and a dozen cities combined were much stronger than a large city with a population of one million.

The opposition came one after another, making Shaoyang depressed, when I gave Shaozhi a large army just now, why didn't I see so many of you opposing, I couldn't be bullied?

Fortunately, Shaoyang is not without supporters, but they are all people from the winner's camp, mainly military generals.

"The Third Highness is young and ignorant, how can he take on this great responsibility and govern the land of a province, this is to lead all the people in the Northern Wilderness in fire and water. An old man with a gray beard almost pointed at Shaoyang's nose and scolded him for being mediocre and incompetent.

"Phew, old thing, I think the Third Highness has governed Songhai City very well, I heard that the taxes have increased every year in the past three years, why can't you govern the entire Northern Wilderness Territory. A military general was upset for Shaoyang, and others couldn't refute what he said in the first half of the sentence.

In the past three years, with the rise of various industries in Songhai City, although the grain tax has not been paid, most of the commercial taxes paid have exceeded the taxes paid by most cities in the entire kingdom.

Relying on the large number of people, the voice of support for Shaoyang is getting smaller and smaller.

"If the Third Highness can't govern the Northern Wilderness Territory, I'm afraid the eldest prince won't be able to command the Western Legion, right?"

This is not a rebuttal, but a straightforward threat, if you win or not, you almost say clearly, if you don't agree with the third prince to rule the entire Northern Wilderness Territory, I will never agree to the eldest prince to become the commander of the Western Legion.

The minorities who did not belong to the two camps secretly wondered whether to muddy the waters so that neither side could benefit, but at the thought of possible retaliation from the two camps, they could only keep their mouths shut and stay out of the matter.

The second prince was not really sick, but he was forced not to go to court, and because of the assassination incident, he was retaliated against by winning and undefeated, not only was his strength weakened, but even the benefits given to the adult prince this time did not have his share.

Therefore, Shi Deshou's desire to oppose it very much, but with their strength, it could not affect the result at all.

Faced with the threat of winning and not being defeated, only William Sneck could call the shots, he did not speak immediately, but weighed the pros and cons in his heart, whether it was cost-effective for the Northern Wilderness to replace the Western Army.

Possessing the Western Legion, although it cannot nominally control the Western Province, but with the power of the Sneik family, it is not difficult to have most of the right to speak in the Western Province in the end, and the value may not be lower than that of the Lord of the Northern Wilderness, not to mention that it can also have a legion of two or three hundred thousand people, which is obviously cost-effective.

But thinking that Shaoyang would bring a lot of trouble to himself if he only owned a Songhai City, William was a little worried, after ruling the lord of the Northern Wilderness, Shaoyang would become a big deal.

And so he agreed. "At the beginning, William still decided not to prevent Shaoyang from becoming the lord of the Northern Wilderness, anyway, the lord does not mean that he can really rule the entire Northern Wilderness Lord, and as long as he sends someone to secretly contact, those city lords should not be so eyeless.

"Lao Chen feels that His Majesty's arrangement for the three princes is very reasonable, and it should be implemented as soon as possible, so that they can contribute to Northern Chu as soon as possible. "William is like this, if he wins or not, he will naturally not object, and others don't have the ability to obstruct it, so the matter is settled.
