Chapter Forty-Seven: Soldier Again
Rambore left, and the day after she left, there was an uproar in the city, not because of the two great beauties who embraced the Lord of Aragorn, nor because the new soldiers of the Northern Legion had drunk and killed the old butler of the Bachige family, nor because Jarvis had caught his mother-in-law cheating on her, but because of the collapse of a mine. It is not a big deal that a mine collapsed in the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, but this mine is special in that it has just been discovered and excavated, and the depth should not be too deep, but more than 40 miners were buried at one time, and half of the nobles and lords of Binuk actually participated in the mining of this gold mine, and I heard that the total investment exceeded 30,000 gold coins, but before even a grain of gold sand was seen, the pit was razed to the ground overnight. The most infuriating thing is that the great alchemist from the imperial capital surveyed that there was a natural biogas digester under the pit, and the explosion and collapse of the pit was related to the biogas leakage, so there was no possibility of mining the gold mine again.
Liang Ke offered a bad money out of nothing, and as a result, the rich gold mine collapsed. Of course, those miners will not really die, but they will just take the money and take their wives and children to another place to enjoy a happy life. The lord of the castle has money, and has recently been busy organizing craftsmen to make leather shields, chariots and other ordnance, and these equipment have been delivered one after another and equipped with those recruits. The tailors in the city were very different in their crafts and materials, and the recruits were dressed in uniforms of different colors, as if they were a giant circus performing, and General Mingo was dazzled. Later, the general was really unable to command such a unit, so he had to put the military uniforms up again, and asked the logistics department to pick those variegated military uniforms as much as possible to pick the same color together, and the big head soldier of a squadron took two days and two nights to pick out the 5,000 sets of military uniforms, and the 5,000 sets of military uniforms were actually divided into seven colors, which is not counting those relatively close intermediate colors.
General Mingo is forty-six years old this year, in the prime of life, of medium stature, and his perennial comfortable life makes his face look very white, and his figure is slightly blessed. Among the generals of the empire, he is relatively young, and there are countless colonel-level officers in the imperial army, but there are not many generals, because in a normal sense, the promotion of generals requires the accumulation of military merits, and it is not possible to be promoted simply by seniority. But nothing is absolute, and Mingo is an exception, in fact, the exception is not Mingo himself, but the strategic location of Binuk.
There are a total of 12 cities on the border of the empire, 27 fortresses, according to the instructions of Emperor Gallant, the garrison of the 12 cities on the border must be led by a general, one is to let future generations of kings remember that it is not easy to open up the territory, and the other is to increase the importance of border stability. But with the passage of time, the generals who originally opened up the territory have gradually grown old, and the current Emperor Claire Gallent is a Ming monarch who loves the people like a son and refuses to let his subjects suffer from war, so except for dealing with the spring hunting of the northern orcs, there is basically no battle to fight.
Mingo was born in a military family, and after graduating from the department, he has been steadily promoted in the military department, and at the age of thirty-seven, he was promoted to colonel, and got the title of viscount, but since then he has been serving as the chief of military affairs in the Northern Army, until last year, the general of the town guard of Binuk can no longer lift a spear, and returned to his fiefdom to retire, Mingo won this rare opportunity with the efforts of his family, and came to Binoke to become a general.
Ming Ge knew very well that this general was not easy to come by, and after taking office, he was conscientious and fulfilled his duties, although he did not bring this "little bear" division of the Northeast Frontier Army into an elite division, but his military style and military discipline were much stronger than those soldiers of other armies. This time to deal with the spring hunt of the orcs, it was not necessary for him, a general, to bring new recruits to the battlefield, but those politicians with deep backgrounds in the military department were willing to let go of this opportunity, and after a fierce game, several families reached an agreement. Minggo entered the war with new recruits, and after the war, as long as there were no major mistakes, he was promoted from brigadier general to major general, and the fief was expanded by one county. The vacant place was filled by the young master of the Marquis de Clémont, who set aside two copper mines from the miners to the Griffith family as the price for Griffith's refusal to compete for the position of general. Therefore, although General Minge was depressed in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey the order of the military department, so he could only hand over the command of the Little Bear Division and seize the time to train these fucking recruits.
General Minggo originally had no experience in leading troops, and during the year he came to Binuk, he only saw the troops once when he first arrived, and then put some effort into cleaning up the discipline. This time he was forced to go to the battlefield, and he had to pick up the knowledge that had been thrown away for a long time, and began to learn and practice at the same time, and seriously trained these recruits.
Today, General Minggo has finally redistributed the uniforms according to the system, and the soldiers may not wear as good as the original fit, but at least they can distinguish the different numbers from the color. Minggo was standing on the city wall brandishing his saber, asking the heralds to wave flags at the colorful ranks, watching the pain-giving recruits slowly change formations, so angry that Minggo couldn't wait to rush in and pull out a few slashes. But he also knows that this will not help, recruits are recruits, even if you kill them all, you can't scare them so much that they can understand the flag, and they can all be in step and uniform immediately. General Minggo handed the command knife to the adjutant with a gloomy face, and shouted: "You continue to practice these rabbit cubs, and if you have the disobedient ones to drag me out and whip them, you can't change the formation according to the flag before sunset today, and don't even think about eating at night." After speaking, he sat on the chair and poured a few sips of herbal tea.
"General, Aragorn asks to see you. ”
As soon as Minggo put a piece of jerky in his mouth, one of his own soldiers came up to him and reported it.
"Aragorn, which Aragon?" General Mingo searched for the name in his head, but didn't remember it for a moment.
"General, I heard that he is the captain of the ordnance maintenance team, and he has come to report to you. ”
"Oh! I remembered. Brorens told me about this man, I heard that he had a good relationship with the lord of the city and the bishop of Muto, and this kid is not a little timid, and he beat that Sandos of the Billon family half to death a few days ago, since he is here, bring it here!" Mingo spit out the piece of dried meat that had taken up the saliva, and picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth. There was not much time, Liang Ke took Pidero up the city wall, came to Minggo and stood still, raised his arms, punched his chest with his fist, and gave a standard military salute cleanly.
Captain of the newly formed 1st Division of the Northeast Theater of the Northern Army and captain of the ordnance maintenance team Aragorn Liang reported to the general. ”
In his previous life, Liang Ke was a soldier, so the sound of the report was sonorous and powerful, just like the sound of those long knives and halberds colliding together on the battlefield, short but echoing around Liang, so frightened that General Mingge almost didn't spray Liang Ke in the face with a sip of tea. Minggo rolled his eyes and swallowed the tea that had choked on him, before slowly standing up and taking a closer look at his subordinate.
Today, Liang Ke just received a captain's uniform, a piece of chain mail was covered with a Bol sheepskin uniform, and the stainless steel helmet was held in Liang Ke's hand as a soft lining for the whole body armor, and the fine chain net hung down from his head, covering both cheeks, which made Liang Ke's already knife-like face more resolute. The fine iron rings of the chain mail are interlocking, covering the whole body tightly, and even the hands and feet are not missing. At the hands, feet, elbows and knees and other vital points, the steel protective gear was also wrapped, and the hands and feet were rubbed and collided with the chain mail, making a crisp sound unique to metal, making Liang Ke's demeanor more sonorous and extraordinary. Outside the chain mail was the standard uniform of the regular army of the Empire, the thick dark brown military uniform was embroidered on the chest with the head of the explosive bear representing the Northern Legion, the leather hem covered the knees, just coupled with the steel combat boots, a scarlet cloak on the shoulder, hunting and drumming in the cold wind, but Liang Ke was as immobile as a javelin tied to the ground, not even blinking his eyes.
General Minggo has been in the army since he was a child, although he has not been on the battlefield, but the soldiers have seen too much, looking at this young man with no military background, he has a little more tough character than those children of the family, and he can't help but have a little good impression of this temporary worker in his own team.
"You...... Is that the Aragorn who beat Sandos Billon?" General Mingo asked with a blank face, looking at Liang Ke.
Liang Ke couldn't help frowning when he heard Ming Ge actually ask himself this.
"Yes, Your Excellency. Liang Ke replied loudly.
"Hahahaha! You are so bold, don't you know that his father is His Excellency General Kandron Billon, the commander of the Northern Army?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. I've heard people talk to me about it, but so what? insulting my fiancée, even if he's the crown prince, has to pay the price. Besides, it was he who first made the request for a duel, as an imperial soldier, I can't and dare not follow, it has nothing to do with strength, but I can't weaken the soldier's character. ”
Liang Ke's words were impassioned and eloquent, and Ming Ge nodded secretly when he heard it. In fact, there was an element of opportunism in Liang Ke's words, he was not a soldier when he duel with Santos, but Mingo didn't know when Brorens got the military badge for Liang Ke, so he couldn't hear the problem.
"That's good!" General Mingge stared at Liang Ke with his hands behind his back for a long time before continuing: "A soldier! You must have the backbone of a soldier, although you have a sword, you can't give up your persistence." Ming Ge is sullen these days that he has become a victim of the political struggle between the great nobles of the empire, Liang Ke's resounding words are like a shot in the arm, Ming Ge said that he thought so, and immediately had a sense of sympathy for Liang Ke.
"Hahaha! Go and move a chair for Captain Aragorn, you little rabbits, learn more, we are soldiers, and we can't become soft eggs in the face of any difficulties and challenges. "Ming Ge has been an official for many years, and he knows that it is definitely not a good way to play on the topic, so he immediately pulled Aragon to get down to business after a little mention.
"Originally, you didn't have to wade into this troubled water, but since Narondo only trusts you, then you have to take this responsibility, what happened to those ordnance preparations?"
"General, Narondo is stepping up his efforts to schedule progress every two days. I just received the news yesterday that one hundred and fifty sets of school officer equipment and ten sets of general officer equipment have been built, and at present, it is in the late stage of refining and testing, and the weapon armor used by the general is being enchanted, and it will be completed in ten days. I have instructed Patriarch Barton to treat the equipment you use with special treatment, both in terms of the use of materials and the level of craftsmanship, which I think will be a work of art. ”
Ming Ge was overjoyed when he heard this, this cheap subordinate can not only solve such a big problem for the empire, but also has a similar temper with him, and more importantly, he is so good-natured, and his favorability towards Liang Ke in his heart is about to explode.
"Hahaha! Captain Aragon bothered, how embarrassing is that? Thank you so much. ”
Liang Ke stood up from his chair, bowed down and said: "It is Aragon's duty to provide the general with suitable equipment, protect the general's safety, and improve the combat effectiveness of the empire.
