Chapter Forty-Six: The Guards of the Guard

The first two paragraphs are really good, very level, and make people's blood boil and yearn for it, but in the last paragraph, what is the ...... Does it give people the feeling of wanting to rebel?

The Bernstein family has been loyal for generations, and the empire has no place to be sorry for him, how can he be a thief.

If you really have such a bastard mind, how can you go to see Teacher Casper and grandfather in the future, I'm afraid that the heroic spirits of the ancestors will spit on you. All in all, this bad old man must have bad intentions for instigating his own rebellion!

Thinking of this, the respectful expression on his face gradually converged, staring at the other party with a fierce light, and said coldly: "Your Excellency said so much, what kind of business do you want to do with me?"

Pompey observed his expression, and couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment in his heart, which could only be attributed to the fact that the rule of the Agalic dynasty had not yet lost its virtue, and the future princes had not yet had time to breed ambitions under the suppression of the thousand-year-old emperor.

I seem to have come a little early, so it doesn't matter if I don't return...... At that point in time, it's almost there.

Just wait patiently, the red dragon, the sea serpent, the black eagle, the blue wolf, the immortal bird...... These princes and overlords will always wake up one by one, and the battle between the heroes will finally begin, which is also the grand occasion that all observers have been looking forward to for three thousand years.

But before that, I have to appease the governor, otherwise I am afraid that he will be punched out of the door in the next moment.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were becoming more and more unkind, the old man hurriedly suppressed the thoughts in his heart, laughed and said:

"Your Excellency, you have been knighted in the field at a young age, and now you have been entrusted with the task of fighting a nation alone. Isn't it just to conquer outside the territory, open up territory for Rosevia, and become a realm hegemon?"

It turns out that it means to dominate the outside world...... This can be there!

The expressions of Yalei and the others suddenly softened. Respect and kindness were restored, and the old man's eyes became hot, expecting the other party to speak amazingly and solve their current predicament.

"Can the sage teach me?" the black-haired knight asked respectfully.

"Your Excellency the Governor can set up factories in this barren land, gather demons, and train new armies. Stopping the Celtic infiltration offensive should be the limit now. ”

Pompey was not restrained in front of them, sat down on an empty seat by himself, and said eloquently:

"If there is no such calamity, the current situation of the Governor's Mansion can be maintained by selling real estate at a low price, but now that the province has become a disaster area, the capital will definitely withdraw frantically, and Your Excellency has no funds to maintain the current situation. ”

"Not much, really. Arei listened respectfully.

"So. There are only two ways to go in the current Celtic Governor's Palace, the first way is to suffer until the Governor's Mansion collapses, honestly hand over the fruits of its painstaking management, and wait for the central government. ”

The chamber fell silent, the black-haired knight wrinkled his eyebrows, and everyone was gloomy, and the air seemed to be filled with snow chips. It seems to freeze at any moment.

No one is willing to give up such a large territory and start from scratch somewhere else.

The old man looked at Yalei with a smile: "The second way." It is to accumulate troops to fight hard, subdue the highland kingdom, and completely put an end to the military disaster in the north. Judging by the Governor's style of doing things, there must be such a plan. ”

“......”

The black-haired knight's eyes flickered for a long time, but finally nodded.

In just a few seconds, he had already made up his mind. That is, no matter what the cost, this old man must be left behind, otherwise it will be a disaster.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, Your Excellency the Doge thinks you have a good chance of winning?" Pompey seemed to be completely indifferent to his situation, and asked questions that were all about core secrets.

"There is no chance now. After half a year, there is a 30% chance, give me a year, there is a 70% chance, and then there will be no chance. After Yalei made up his mind, he no longer hid it, and told everything in his words.

He spoke at a speed that was not hurried or slow, his words were clear, his expression was calm, his dark eyes were bottomless, reflecting the face of the old man opposite, and he had a convincing contagion.

Among the princes, Black Eagle is the most brave and good at fighting, and the military strategy is the first...... If it weren't for the mistakes made when attacking the Highland Kingdom, it took more than ten years in vain, and even the wife who was about to be handed over was lost, so there might not be no chance......

Pompey recalled the picture he observed in the time well, and immediately refreshed his spirits, and he was also full of confidence in his future career, and looked at the black-haired knight with a smile:

"Your Excellency the Governor is worried that in a year's time, the Highland Kingdom will officially complete its reform and train the fat on its body into muscles. ”

"That's right. ”

"Since the Governor has trusted me to reveal so many truths, I can't help but say something. The old man put away his smile, shook his sleeves, and said:

"I have a plan to help His Excellency the Governor calm the high grounds. ”

"I would like to worship the sage as a military adviser and give half of the fief to be offered. The black-haired knight knew that the other party could not tell him in vain, so he decisively threw out his olive branch.

Of course, the premise is that the other party's strategy really works, otherwise he will be wronged.

Half fiefdom!

Bruno, Clark, Kara, Nicole, Beverly, and Lydia, who had been listening outside the door, were all shocked, and hiring a military advisor was too generous.

"Hahaha!"

Pompey smiled red, and this courtesy alone allowed him to raise his eyebrows in front of all the observers.

"Please teach me, sage. ”

Seeing that he was just laughing, Yalei was afraid that the old man would laugh into Alzheimer's, so he couldn't help but urge.

"Your Excellency. ”

The old man formally stroked his chest and saluted, and said in a solemn voice:

"The flaw of the South Celts is the lack of population, without population there is no tax, without population and without army. My method will enable you to recruit a strong, well-trained army at a small cost. ”

“......”

The black-haired knight's eyes lit up when he listened, and he didn't interject, just quietly waited for the other party to continue.

"I propose that the Celtic province recruit an army in addition to the new army, and pay it by arable land. In peacetime, as a yeoman farmer, in wartime as a soldier, exempt from all taxes, and at the same time serve for life. It is forbidden to engage in all trades other than operating land. Participate in military training every other month, inspect every year, and read a major review every three years, except for heavy weapons and equipment in wartime, the rest are self-raised.

There is a centurion for every 10 households and a centurion for every 100 households. There is a military governor of the guard in the thousand households, and the strongest one is the one, and he only has jurisdiction over the jurisdiction and has no right to requisition.

In peacetime, each guard takes turns to form a corps, and the rest are paid for service, and the army is commanded by the governor to command the generals. At the end of the war, the troops were scattered. The Commander returned to the Doge's Palace. In this way, the generals were separated, and the governor could be deployed at will without fear of losing power. ”

"It's a lot like the ancient feudal knights. Kara couldn't help but say.

"It's different, it's not the same. ”

Pompey shook his head, stroked his long beard and said: "There is no servant, the cultivated land is not a fief, and all warriors are loyal to a ruler, how can it be said that they are the same as the ancient knights." ”

"It works. It's going to work!"

Yalei clasped his hands together and said excitedly, "As long as you are given enough arable land." Even a third-order knight will be tempted, so that I can gather a large army without spending a penny!"

This old man is not only a sage, but also a national warrior!

"Exactly. ”

The old man bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Celtic's most surplus asset is land. As long as the governor is willing, he is not afraid that no one will fight for you. ”

"The military advisor thinks how much arable land should I give?" The black-haired knight saw that the other party really had a real idea, and immediately changed his name.

"The second-order knight should have five hundred acres, and the third-order knight has five thousand. Those with war paints are preferred, is it fourth-order...... Don't consider it for the time being, because you definitely don't give as much as His Majesty the Emperor. In order to obtain more and better soldiers, I suggest that His Excellency the Doge draw on foreign forces, such as the Franks, which have lost half of their country, and there must be a large number of bankrupt soldiers who will be happy to serve you. ”

The black-haired knight nodded his head as he listened, frowned, touched his chin and said, "If this guard soldier is sacrificed, what should the Governor's Mansion do?"

"It is up to his descendants to inherit the land and the position. ”

"What if his descendants are not willing to be guards of the guards?"

"The Governor may buy back land at twice the market price, while giving a full pension. Similarly, if there is a long-term failure to pass the inspection of the guards, you can use one-fifth of the market price to force the land to buy. ”

Yalei stared at the other party with burning eyes, and then asked:

"The guards want to unilaterally break the contract, so what should they do?"

Pompey straightened his old and strong body, and a confident smile appeared on his face:

"If you don't want to fight, you can't force you to stay, otherwise it will inevitably affect the morale of the army, and you can deprive this person of his military position and land, and give him a sum of money according to the year of service. ”

"Half of Glamorgan welcomes the military division to come and take it at any time, this guard army, and I hope you can help to make it happen. The black-haired knight knew that he had really picked up a treasure this time, and the old man on the other side was a big baby bigger than Nancy.

"Gladly. ”

The old man straightened the sackcloth on his body and gladly accepted the order.

......

That night, at the Earl's Court, Areh celebrated Pompey's arrival with a feast, during which he took out the map of Glamorgan, divided it in two, and offered it to the other party, but the old man refused for some reason.

"Your Excellency, your ambition is not in a highland kingdom, and my ambition is not half of Glamorgan, stay by your side, and I will naturally ask for the corresponding reward. After Pompey made such a prevarication, the black-haired knight was reassured and stopped pestering.

"Monsieur Pompey, you look like you're from Gaul, right?" Aree raised his goblet and toasted the other with a glass of wine.

Of course, under the watchful eye of Charlene, his cup was filled with strong tea, and Pompey's cup was filled with Seris puree.

The black-haired knight was forced not to drink, but the other party didn't know that in the eyes of the old man, he still thought that this was a sign of his self-cleanliness and ambition, and he was more confident in private.

"I was born in the province of Babylon, and then I followed my teacher to Carthage to study art, and I stayed for fifty years, so I should be considered a Carthaginian. ”

Pompey took a sip of Seris puree and replied with a smile.

"Beverly, do you hear me, the military advisor is your fellow countryman. ”

Yare took the opportunity to introduce them to each other: "This is Beverly, my classmate, who is currently learning espionage skills. ”

"Strategist, I toast you. ”

Beverley raised his glass with some surprise, he was the worst among the crowd, and his espionage skills had only been learned a fraction, and the pressure was not ordinary.

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

After the old man saw his appearance clearly, he was full of excitement, and his back instantly cooled.

No wonder I felt this name familiar before, isn't this the notorious spy leader Red Fox in the future, if you offend anyone, you can't offend this kind of person, otherwise you won't know how to die in the future.

"I'm Kara, a glass to the military teacher. ”

"I'm Clark, a toast. ”

"I'm Nicole, a glass to the military teacher. ”

"I'm Lydia, a toast. ”

......

After Pompey frequently replied, he finally matched everyone's appearance with the big people observed in the time well, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Breath blowing the desolate wind, golden horns, silver flashes, scorpions, these ruthless characters are still very immature, and they are no different from their children and grandchildren.

Is it the hero who leads the times, or the times that make the heroes...... If we can grasp the law, I am afraid that we will be able to get close to the side of truth that all observers expect.

I don't know if my colleagues have come into contact with the future princes such as the red dragon, the blue wolf, the sea snake, etc., and it shouldn't be smooth on my side, after all, Black Eagle is a well-known and talkative one among the princes, but he is too lucky.

After drinking the bitter tea in the cup, Yalei found that the old man was watching a ghost maid look distracted, and looked at the little maid very shyly, so he asked with great interest:

"What is the advisor thinking?"

"No, nothing. ”

Pompey was awakened by his voice, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I just feel that His Excellency the Doge's team is unexpectedly young...... I really don't know how much I will achieve in the future. ”

"Only with the help of a sage like you, we will definitely be able to become a realm tyrant. The black-haired knight looked at his energetic companion and boasted confidently.

One Boundary Hegemony...... It seems that even Black Hawk himself is still very immature.

The old man then raised his glass, let the ghost maid pour the fragrant Cyriss puree for him, stood up from his seat, his eyes crossed the faces of everyone, and said vigorously:

"Then I'm here to congratulate you all in advance. ”

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Everyone just laughed with their wine glasses, and although they often got together to talk, this was the first time they said it in front of outsiders, and they always felt a little embarrassed. (To be continued.) )
