Chapter 295 Garrison

"You two are my blood brothers, don't be so restrained, relax. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Lorist said.

It's just that his words didn't really relax the two people standing in the middle of the big tent, they glanced at each other, but saluted more respectfully: "My lord, if you have something, please command, we will definitely die." “

Lorist smiled wryly, sat down on a chair covered with saber-toothed tiger skins, and sighed deeply. Ever since he insisted on not listening to the advice of the people, and insisted on beheading nearly 100,000 people who had been captured in the Kingdom of Haneabada, and gathered the heads of those enemies who had died in battle to build a 33-meter-high pyramid of human heads, he found that both the knights and soldiers of the family looked at him with deep fear.

The last time I saw El as if he was pondering something, I wanted to make a joke and sneak up on him and tapped him on the shoulder, only to see that El looked back and saw that he was three feet tall. There is also Shi Fatzi, it seems that he can no longer return to the intimate relationship he used to have, he is always respectful and respectful when he comes to do things, and he looks like a standard subordinate, and he can no longer hear him call himself Locke.

There are also those slave gladiators who want to go home, they just kept it again out of politeness, and as a result, half of the slave gladiators Lima changed their minds and was willing to serve the Norton family, and even those who went home were eager to say that they would take their families to the family territory immediately after they went home to see it, hoping that they would not be surprised, they were by no means ungrateful......

Alas, he cut off 100,000 heads and immediately became a demon king, especially the act of using human heads to build a capital view is even more shocking. Look at the current port of Nubit, where nearly 400,000 people live, everything is in order, orders and prohibitions, and the slaves who have been freed are very strict in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Norton family, and there is not even a loud quarrel, it seems to be so harmonious......

In the day, labor and management are now more afraid of those freed slaves than those damned big slave owners, and Lorist will also cry and laugh, and cut off the 100,000 captives of the Haneyabada Kingdom, but Lorist hated these slave traders and pirate descendants, so he simply killed them all, cut the grass and eradicated the roots, and saved trouble in the future. The other Lorist also wants the Norton family to shine a light on its minions, so as not to always provoke people who are not long-sighted......

It's just that the effect of this Liwei seems to be too good, directly making Lorist a loner, look at these two people standing in the big tent, they are also Lorlist's brother, the illegitimate son of the former Baron Norton, Morosinger and Willie Gesang, facing Lorlister's call, they are terrified, like a feeling of thin ice.

"Norton Morrosinger, a knight of the family, a three-star silver, is currently the captain of the 17th Brigade of the 3rd Battalion of the Heavy Armored Corps, and his courage and bravery during his service are deeply loved by his soldiers......

Norton Willigsang, a knight of the family, a silver star, is currently the captain of the 3rd Brigade of the Scout Hussar Battalion, a brave and tenacious soldier, repeatedly wounded and unrelenting, holding the position until victory......"

Lorist threw the folder on the table: "It's been eight years since I returned to the family domain to inherit the title. I am glad that you have done very well as my father's bloodline and my brother, so that you can continue to live up to this great surname. Today, I have asked you to discuss one main thing, and that is the issue of the garrison of the Hanea Bada Islands.

You should know that the family is going to take the Haneyabada Islands under its jurisdiction and become an overseas territory, right? I am going to set up the Haneabada Islands Garrison Corps, with five battalions under it, with Morosinger as the commander and Willi Gesang as your deputy. ”

Morosinger and Willy Gasang were both stunned, as Lorlist's illegitimate brother, Lorist was already magnanimous to be able to treat them equally, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to stand alone so soon. In other aristocratic families, illegitimate children have always been suppressed and looked down upon.

Lorist smiled slightly: "Don't think about it, it's something I can't wait for you to have a chance, I look forward to you being able to get a title and title after you make meritorious contributions to the family, and become another branch of the Norton family in the future, only in this way can our Norton family become stronger and stronger." I also chose you this time for selfishness, that is, I hope that you can stand alone and exercise your ability to dominate and lay a good foundation for the future. ”

Lorist flipped through a map of the hides of the Haneabada Islands: "You two come and see, and I will tell you about the family's garrison strategy for the Haneabada Islands." The garrison corps of the Haneyabada Islands prepared by the family consisted of three land battalions and two sea battalions, each with 3,000 men, and the establishment, equipment, and treatment were the same as those of the Guards battalion. The three land battalions were deployed in the three locations of the Intramural City, the Hills, and the Port of Nubit, where the three castle fortresses were to be rebuilt as the garrisons of the three land battalions.

In addition, two naval camps will be built in Nubit Harbor, equipped with sixteen armed sea vessels, which will patrol the entire archipelago and defend against foreign enemies. Willy Gesang you will report to Sambarwood next, learn to sail sea ships and conduct naval combat training in the Sea Regiment, and the establishment of the two sea battalions is not in a hurry, giving you three years to complete.

You'll be in charge of the three land battalions, Morosinger. In the same three years, you will have to complete the reconstruction and reconstruction of the three castle fortresses, train the three land garrison battalions, maintain order and safety in the islands, and assist the governor of Hicke to settle the lives of the freed slaves who remained in the islands. I hope that in five years' time, the archipelago garrison will be self-sufficient and will no longer need family support.

In another three years, the archipelago garrison will be able to provide the family with a thousand qualified, excellent, and well-trained soldiers every year, and become the family's source of soldiers. Well, the inner city of Port Nubit will be allocated to Governor Hicke to be the seat of the Governor's Palace, and he will set up another city defense battalion, which will be under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Palace. The Governor's Office has the right to supervise the garrison, and the garrison has no right to interfere with the city defense battalion, do you understand?"

Morosinger bowed solemnly: "My lord, I understand, I will assist Governor Hikrid and protect the Haneababada Islands. ”

Lloris nodded: "The detailed strategy for forming the archipelago garrison corps is in the Schrader Knights, and the governor's palace has the authority to supervise the garrison corps, which refers to military discipline and annual financial audits, not military command." Unless there is a foreign invasion and a large-scale rebellion. I'm sure you won't let me down, and you won't disgrace the Norton name. Go ahead, report to Knight Schreed, and discuss with him the difficulties and problems that need to be solved in forming a garrison. ”

"Yes, my lord, let's quit first. ”

In fact, the greatest gain of the Norton family in the Kingdom of Hanea Bada was not the wealth, but the source of soldiers and young labor. The reason why Lorist has always been reluctant to recruit soldiers in the family domain is that he is afraid of affecting the development of the territory. The composition of the Norton family armed forces is mainly composed of two parts, one is the regular field force, and the other is the garrison force of the town.

The composition of the field force was mainly two heavy armoured regiments, two lancer regiments, one chariot steel crossbow regiment and one one-wheeled steel crossbow regiment, in addition to the archery battalion, scout battalion, thunderbolt slingling battalion, guard battalion, knight regiment, women's battalion and five guards battalions, a total of 43 battalions, because the total number of personnel was about 120,000.

The garrison force is composed of three parts, one is the recruit battalion, the second is the five garrison battalions, which are basically composed of retired family soldiers, responsible for the vigilance and material escort of various material warehouses and mine workshops, and the third is the garrison brigade of various towns and the garrison squadron of each village, with a total number of 50,000 or 60,000 people. For example, the salary of the garrison battalion is only half of that of the field troops, and the salary of the garrison of towns and villages is only one-third of that of the field troops, which is regarded as half soldiers and half civilians, while the soldiers trained in the recruit battalion have no salary and only a little subsidy.

Now Lorist has vigorously formed a maritime legion, with a total number of more than 17,000 people, the total number of armed forces of the entire Norton family has reached nearly 200,000, and the total population of the family territory is just over 1.1 million.

Lorist actually has a hard time, don't look at the large number of family forces, but the people who can really pull out the field battle are only about seventy or eighty thousand, which symbolizes the kingdom of Vahaneyabada, and the dispatch of forty or fifty thousand troops almost made the family bankrupt because of logistics supplies. The expansion of the family armament was a last resort, and in addition to the increasing expansion of the family territory, the most important reason was the inclusion of prisoners who had completed their service.

For the first time, the Grand Duke of the Northland was defeated, and nearly 30,000 young and strong laborers were captured, and after three years of hard labor, more than 10,000 of them were recruited to meet the conditions for conscription, and the number of family armed men was nearly 80,000. There's no way, you can't let these people go to other families. defeated the second prince's army of 100,000 for the second time, captured more than 60,000, and as a result, at the end of the three-year hard labor period, he had to recruit more than 30,000 of them.

Lorist vigorously recruited captives who had completed their hard labor to expand the family's armament, and the main purpose was to recruit the lords for the family domain. A captive joins the Norton clan because the preferential treatment of soldiers causes them to move their family to the family domain, which increases the population of the family domain. Moreover, these captives who can join the family armed forces are awakened and in line with the conscription regulations, and refusing to join them is tantamount to pushing them to other families, and they will only do so if their brains are kicked by a donkey.

Except for the captives, Lorist did not recruit troops in the family territory, except for the formation of the Sea Legion last year, the biggest reason was that he was afraid of affecting the process and development of the development and construction of the territory. Now that the family territory is full of life and manpower is needed everywhere, these young and strong slaves who have been liberated from the destruction of the Haneyabada kingdom will be the best supplement to the family territory.

In addition to the more than 40,000 exiles and more than 6,000 inhabitants of the island who had been taken captive on the island of Hilowas, 410,000 slaves were freed. Among them, there are more than 100,000 women and children, and 170,000 slaves are willing to stay and settle in the Hanea Bada Islands, most of whom are second-generation domestic slaves and third-generation domestic slaves who have become families, and who were born here and regard this place as their hometown.

The remaining 240,000 slaves, except for more than 30,000 who insisted on returning to their hometowns, the rest were all young and strong, many of them were ruined and alone, and most of them were from the former Cresson Empire, who were either sold by the lord or captured by the slave group, slaughtered their villages and turned them into slaves. Lorist ordered Boderfinger to select 60,000 men to form twenty garrison battalions, and to prepare a garrison regiment and a city defense battalion, with the remaining 120,000. Lorist decided to bring all these young men back to the Northland to speed up the construction of the family domain.

Expanding the family armament again is Lorist feels that the current troops under his command are more than enough to keep themselves and not enterprising, and there are wars everywhere when the troubled times come, and the Second Highness is now commanding an army of 300,000 to sweep through the kingdom of Ridleys, and when he unifies most of the territory of the former Krisson Empire, he doesn't know if he will take the Northland, and he advises the three allies of Earl Kenmax, Baron Philim and Baron Shahin to expand their forces and prepare for it, so the Norton family cannot shrink back, and if necessary, they have to provide them with support, it is better to prepare for the army first while the resources are sufficient。

"My lord, Lord Sambarwood is back. Jim entered the tent and gave a respectful report, interrupting Lorlist's musings.

Sambarwood is very busy, and now the Sea Legion has nearly 300 ships busy transporting all kinds of goods and supplies from the Haneabada Islands to Hilowas, and they have made two trips in September and October alone, and less than a tenth of the supplies can be transported.

Lorist is currently truly wealthy, and the kingdom of Haneyabada has been destroyed, and the wealth he has accumulated for nearly a hundred years has become the spoils of the Norton family. Among other things, 17,000,000,000,000 Kingford were seized, including 6,000,000,000 Kingford in two huge vaults dug up from under the palace that had been burned down by Luther III in the royal court of the royal city.

Lorist really doesn't understand why the descendants of these pirates like to bury their belongings in the ground so much, as long as they find those slaves who have served these big slave owners and nobles for many years, these buried treasures are dug up and dug up, small hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and large millions. Shi Fatzi looked at these seizures and smiled every day, so many property seizures could be enough for the Norton family to squander development and construction for more than twenty or thirty years.

"Summons the order to summon the knights above the captain of the family to come to the big tent to hold a military meeting to discuss the next battle plan. Lorist said.

All the knights of the clan who received the order to summon were a little confused, the kingdom of Haneyabada had fallen, and who else was Lorist ready to go to war with?

"Silence!, Lord Earl has arrived!" El shouted, and all the knights of the family in the big tent hurriedly stood and waited.

Lorist took the two great swordsmen, Ingerek and Hugh, into the tent, followed by Jim and Tagger.

"Salute to Your Excellency!" all the knights of the clan in the Great Tent bowed to Lorlist.

"Alright, let's sit down. Lorist waved his hand and sat down on the tiger skin chair in the middle, the two great swordsmen, Injerek and Hugh, seated to his right and left. El and Jim, and Targer stood behind Lorlist.

"Tagger, go up and read the information you've gathered. Lorist commanded.

"Yes," Tagar walked to the front and opened a folder in his hand: "The northern merchant fleet of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce arrives at the Kingdom of Hanea Bada twice a year at the end of May and the end of October for commodity trade, the size of the fleet, forty to fifty seagoing ships, of which about sixteen to twenty large ocean-going merchant ships, and the rest are medium-sized armed merchant ships. There are about 4,000 to 6,000 people, and there is a first-class great sword master in charge.

Every time, the northern fleet of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce first went to the Shaysya Kingdom to complete the spice trade and then arrived at the Hanea Bada Kingdom, and the main trading goods were, ordering goods, daily goods, weapons and equipment, wine and spice goods, as well as fashion and clothing and luxury goods, etc., it is said that the Chikde Chamber of Commerce mastered this maritime trade route made a profit of nearly 400,000 gold fords a year.

At the end of May this year, Murray Bak, the third young master of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce, personally arrived in the Kingdom of Hanea Bada by ship, and at the welcome banquet held for him by the great slave owner of Nubit Harbor, he revealed to the slave traders that our Norton family had recruited 50,000 or 60,000 displaced people on the island of Hiloas to carry out the development and construction, causing these slave traders and slave catchers to turn their attention to our territory on the island of Hilowas, causing us to suffer this catastrophe. ”

Targar stepped back. Lorist looked at the family knights in the big tent, frowned and said: "I have no evidence to prove whether the third young master of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce is the mastermind behind the instigation of these slave traders and slave catchers to invade our family territory, but in view of the hostility of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce to our Norton family, we tacitly assume that they are at war with our family, so this time we convened a meeting to discuss how to annihilate the northern fleet of the upcoming Chikde Chamber of Commerce in Nubit Harbor and not let one of them slip through the net!"
