He was appointed by the emperor to appoint the garrison governor of the county town of Sadland outside the Guan, which can be seen as a test of the central government's attack on the Northwest Army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At least now it can be seen that the Northwest Army has not rebelled for the time being, although it has openly rejected the military orders of the governor Sistine, but at least there has been no open disobedience to the officials appointed by the central government.

It's just that, listening to Yarook's words, even if those guys in the Northwest Army have no intention of rebelling, in the long run, I'm afraid no one can guarantee that this guy won't really rebel!

Even if they hadn't rebelled yet, I'm afraid they wouldn't have much respect for themselves, the county governor of Sadland? Not to mention, as the supreme governor of a county, José arrived at the post, and no one else came to greet him except for Alok, the deputy commander, and even the commander below Chaux at that level did not show up.

Hmph, I'm afraid that even a blind person can see that that guy doesn't seem to have a good attitude towards his new boss?

Joseph squinted his eyes at Yaroe, and said with a slight smile: "Yarok Knight, I'm new to the city, and I don't know much about the situation in the city of Sadland, can you tell me about the current situation in the city of Sadland......"

Half an hour later, José's motorcade appeared at the gates of Sadland, the westernmost county on the northwest border of the empire.

In fact, this county town can be regarded as the oldest city in the northwest, and the local residents of Moxi built the city of Sadland long before the province was included in the imperial territory. Because the northwest has been in the middle of the continent since ancient times, connecting the countries of the human world, the business and trade here has always been very prosperous, and it is also one of the several ancient cities with earlier human civilization.

After the establishment of the Bright Empire, the territory continued to expand westward, and finally Moxi was included in the territory of the empire. In fact, the first capital of Moxi that the emperor and those decision-makers considered at that time was not the current Valen City, but the largest city in Moxi at that time, Sadrand.

This is because Sadrand is a suitable city as a provincial capital, both in military and economic terms. At that time, Sadland was not only a high city, but also the most populous and prosperous commercial area in Moxi, and close to an important grain-producing area such as the Qianli Valley Corridor, so it was this Sadrand City that was first considered as the capital of Moxi Province.

However, in the end, the ruler considered that although Sadrand was rich, it was also too close to the border, and if the provincial capital was set up in Sadrand, it would inevitably cause a large flow of people outside the Guan, thus reducing the population in Moxi Guan. In the long run, it will inevitably weaken the central control of the empire over Moxi, not only is it likely that the steppe people outside the border will pour in, but once war breaks out, Sadran will inevitably be the first city for the enemy to enter Moxi. Although the city of Sadland is quite strong, it is better to build a military fortress in such a special geographical location, and if the provincial capital is moved here, it is not conducive to the stability and future development of Moxi.

Therefore, considering various reasons, especially political factors, the emperor at that time finally decided to set up the capital in the small city of Valun in Moxi Pass. Later, through the management of successive governors and local officials, the city of Valen became its current status.

Even so, the position of the county seat of Sadrand in the northwest is extremely important. Sadran held the throat of the thousand-mile valley corridor, and was the first obstacle for the steppes and Macedonians to enter Moxi, and every time a war broke out, it was often the first to be attacked, and that was here.

Historically, once the county town of Sadland was breached by the enemy, the thousand-mile valley corridor was basically unsafe. Therefore, in this Northwest War, the reason why the Macedonians were able to connect the four counties of the valley corridor and occupy the entire land outside the border within half a year was because they entered the valley corridor after breaking through the county town of Sadland.

When José and the others arrived at the city gate, it was noon, and there were not many people coming and going at the city gate, most of them were shabby-dressed peasants and ordinary poor people, and even caravans were rarely seen. The gate of the city gate was not opened, and these people entered the city through the side gate, and there were several soldiers in military uniforms at the gate of the city, walking back and forth at the sentry post, and from time to time they stopped saying a few words.

"It's finally back!" Gould on the side couldn't help but smile when he saw the city gate, and looked at Sadland City with some excitement. The fat man has served as the deputy commander of Sadland for many years, so he naturally has some special feelings for this place, and his subordinates and brothers are also staying in the county town of Sadland, so at this moment, he is under the city as if he sees his own home.

This guy rode directly to the gate of the city and shouted inside: "Open the door, open the door, open the door, I'm back!

When the soldiers guarding the door saw that a fat man with a full face shouted at the door, they hurriedly surrounded him, and the guy at the head glanced at Gould and shouted with some disdain: "What are you calling a fat man?" Where did you come from, the new county prefect, who are you, who dare to make trouble at the gates?!"

When Gould heard the soldier say this, he didn't get angry, but just sneered and looked at him: "Which army are you from, I don't even know Lao Tzu, aren't you soldiers from the county town of Sadland?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu is not a garrison soldier in the county town of Sadland, is he still a Macedonian? You guy is full of nonsense, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu, otherwise I will arrest you and put you in prison!" The soldier glared at him impatiently, and couldn't help but wave his hand to drive him away.

Gould laughed angrily, he had led troops in Sadland for many years, not to mention in this Sadland county town, even in Moxi's army, he was also a high-ranking officer. On weekdays, even the former county guard was polite to him, where did he ever receive the cold eyes of such an ordinary soldier?!

The fat man was so angry with him, his face immediately changed, his face was full of anger, his eyes glared at the soldier fiercely, and he immediately burst out with a bit of impressive momentum. The soldier was just an ordinary soldier, and although he had fought a few battles and killed people and seen blood, he was not enough here in Gould.

After all, the fat man has been in the army for many years, killing people and fighting is as casual as drinking wine and eating meat, and he has long had a bit of a killing and decisive aura on his body after many years, but now he stares at it like this, but it makes the soldier only feel trembling in his heart, and his palms can't help but tremble a little. I just felt that the fat man in front of me looked angry, as if he was about to slash the knife in his hand on his head in the next moment!

"Fatty, don't be like these ordinary soldiers, let me tell them!"

Gould snorted coldly, looked back, and sure enough, he saw the Yaroku knight behind him stepping forward, and shouted with a straight face: "You all listen, the new Lord of Sadland County has arrived, everyone obeys the order, and immediately open the city gate!"
