Sophia realized that she was indeed a little naïve, and that she said those words just to test Jose. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, Joseph has preliminarily controlled Sadland, as he said, even if the Northwest Army comes to Xingshi to ask for guilt, I am afraid that it will not be able to help Joseph what happened. Ronktor has already exposed his attitude, as long as he is not a fool, he knows that now is not the time to go to war with the Empire.

After the war, although the main force of the Northwest Army still exists, it can only give the empire some encouragement at most, far from the point where it can threaten the empire's safety. What makes the empire even more fearless is that even if the Northwest Army really rebels, more than 100,000 soldiers in the central fortress can participate in the counterinsurgency at any time.

In the final analysis, the Northwest Army is just a corner of the chaos, and it will definitely not be able to shake the entire huge Bright Empire, so the empire is unwilling to start a war with the Northwest Army, and the Northwest Army does not dare to rashly provoke the empire. Under the temptation of both sides, José took advantage, at least the more than 20,000 soldiers under his command now were all pulled up under the banner of the empire, and the Northwest Army was in charge, and the empire couldn't manage it if it wanted to.

So Sophia wants to test Jose, she doesn't know the mind of her boss, it is a real imperial contribution, I'm afraid it can't be talked about, otherwise he wouldn't support the steppe man named Temur. But he said that he was ambitious, but he spent his own money to rebuild in Sadland, encourage reclamation, reclaim the displaced people, and recruit soldiers, all of which required a lot of money to be thrown into it.

The empire is definitely unwilling to pay, and Sistine, as the marquis of the empire and the governor of Moxi, is not willing to spend his own money to recruit troops. Therefore, although there are more than 10,000 soldiers in Valen City, they are all garrisons raised by the empire, otherwise there are so many displaced people in Valen City, how could they not recruit soldiers to deal with the Northwest Army?

But Montevia IV doesn't care about this, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care about the northwest, Sistine obviously doesn't have such a high political consciousness, as the imperial aristocratic class, it would be good if he didn't take the opportunity to exploit and make money, and let him pay out of his pocket to raise soldiers, but there is no such reason. After all, there are people who are loyal to the empire, but it is difficult to say how many such selfless guys can be among the nobles of the empire.

Sophia couldn't read this guy, at least judging by his performance, she could be sure that this Viscount Sadran was a smart man and a cunning man. So naturally, Sophia guessed that this guy was probably trying to take advantage of the northwest, at least now he didn't just build an army by himself?

But now it seems that this idea of his own is also wrong. Looking at Jose's mocking expression, Sophia felt for the first time the unfathomable depth of the guy in front of her. What gave her such an impression was that in Sophia's memory, there was only her teacher, the famous wise man of the empire, Master Kant, and the Joseph in front of her looked only in her early twenties.

Seeing that Sophia also showed a somewhat flustered look, Joseph shook his head, and simply stopped looking at her, but his eyes fell on the city of Saddland in the distance.

Sophia took a deep breath, finally calmed down her somewhat complicated feelings, and then she made a move that was unexpected by Joseph: the girl bent down deeply, and bowed respectfully to Joseph, and then reluctantly said: "Yes, Lord Joseph, you are right, I am indeed clever, as a staff member, I swear to you that I will give you all my loyalty and respect in the future, and I will not show you any more ...... in the future, I, step back. ”

After the girl finished speaking, she walked straight out of the study, regardless of Joseph's reaction.

Jose looked at Sophia's departing figure, and then shook her head helplessly, at least this female staff member should become much calmer in the future, after all, a girl like Sophia, even if she is smart and wise, always has a little frivolity at this age, and it is always good for her to hit and deter her like this.

In the days that followed, José was busy settling in and deploying the troops in the Sadrand county. First, he divided half of the 20,000 infantry under the command of Alok, which included 4,000 Northwest Army and 6,000 New Army. Joseph's request to Yarok was to completely assimilate this Northwest Army into the Sadland Army as soon as possible, and the specific arrangement was to mix these 4,000 Northwest Army into the new army and retrain this Northwest Army in the same way that it had previously trained recruits.

In view of the loose nature and strong fighting power of the Northwest Army, he deliberately put all the Northwest Army in the hands of Allock, and Chaseer was sure that this calm general was capable of reintegrating these rebellious Northwest Army. The 10,000 men were sent to the county town of Sadland, where Aroque was responsible for the drills, while the remaining new army of Sadland was led by Gould, including 10,000 new troops and 2,000 cavalry private troops.

Although these 20,000 people are actually soldiers under Joseph's command, only these 10,000 new troops are really regarded by Joseph as his descendants. After all, this is what Joseph really selected and trained, and for the new army that Jose is loyal to, and after these days of drills and actual combat, this new army has almost all the basic military qualities. In particular, the military theory that Joseph highly admired was very marketable in the new army.

The biggest advantage of the new army formed by these displaced people over the Northwest Army is its reliability and loyalty. After all, it was Jose who recruited them and gave them food, drink, and military pay so that they would not starve to death in the corridor of the river valley, and such a move naturally conquered these simple northwestern men. At least in the eyes of many of them, their own food and drink expenses are provided by this Lord Viscount of Sadland, and they are used by others, and it is really unreasonable if they don't work hard.

Although this Viscount of Sadland is young, he has great prestige in the new army, especially several generals of the new army, who were all personally promoted and selected by Jose, and naturally he is quite loyal to Joseph. This is also the point that José is most satisfied with, he even wants to recruit more recruits, after all, these hot-blooded young men are more obedient than those veterans.

So after José's gentle methods, these new troops soon developed a strong sense of belonging to him. Joseph also took the opportunity to import his ideas into the new army, from the earliest soldiers to obey orders as their duty, to the army's sense of honor and mission, to the cultivation of these guys' sense of collective consciousness and teamwork, as long as it is conducive to his mastery of the army's thinking, all of them are universal.
