When Alok heard this, he calmed down a little, and looked at Joseph with some surprise: "Change this situation, Lord Joseph, how do you want to change it?"

"Take power first!" José smiled slightly, looked at Yarok and said: "After the war in the northwest, the people's livelihood withered, and the northwest army imposed heavy taxes in order to raise military expenses, which was originally a stupid thing to kill chickens and take eggs, after I took over Sadland, naturally I can't let these northwest army come nonsense!"

But I also expected that these guys would not be so easy to deal with, so the first step was to take power first! Take the city defense of the county town of Sadland into my own hands, and build an army of its own, so that I can first have a guarantee of armament to resist the Northwest Army, so that I can take charge of the next decrees.

Alok pondered for a moment, and his eyes immediately became a little more eager: "If Lord Joseph is really dedicated to the livelihood of the people in the city of Sadland, then I, Aloke, have nothing to shirk, I am willing to follow Lord Joseph!"

"Good!" José laughed, Aloké was calm and measured, he had a little more brains and thoughts than Gould, and he shared hardships with himself, so he was naturally more trustworthy than ordinary generals. Now that Aaroch has shown that he is willing to help him, at least he has a little more certainty of establishing himself in Sadland.

Later, Alok carefully analyzed the current situation in the city of Sadland: most of the former county governors were civilian, or Heru's descendants, and in places like the northwest, it has always been important to emphasize military force over civilian, although the administrator nominally hangs the position of garrison chief, but most of the military affairs of the county town are in charge of the northwest army.

The level of leadership set by the central part of the empire is elsewhere, and they are all subordinate to the county governor, only in a military town like the northwest, the power of the military generals is often balanced with the chief executive, and it is difficult to have any real sense of superiority and subordination.

This may also be an important factor in the contradiction between the empire and the northwest, just take the Moxi governor who took office that year, Lord Sistine, as the acting governor appointed by the empire, theoretically the highest military and political governor within the province, but it is difficult to convince the Moxi generals who have military power in their hands.

In fact, according to Joseph's understanding, there has always been such a hidden danger in the political system of Moxi. It's just that in the past ten years, Heru, who served as the governor of Moxi, was born in the military, so for these generals under him, he has great prestige and status. The military and political power in Moxixing Province is in his hands, and the implementation of orders is also very efficient, so the contradiction between this chief executive and the military governor is not obvious.

But since Heru was transferred back to the center, it was difficult for the successors of imperial aristocratic officials like Sistine to be convinced by generals of the Northwest Army such as Ronkedo. Although the Sistine's methods are tactful, and there are also some statesmen's forbearance and scheming, they do not have the iron-fisted means of a military general! In this way, the Northwest Army will inevitably not obey such a commander, and after the war, the Northwest will be in ruins, and even if the Sistine wants to take advantage of the situation to take back military power, I am afraid that he will be powerless.

This kind of thing is the same now in your own Sadrand town. That Commander Gray is also a descendant of the Northwest Army, and to put it bluntly, he is just a little Ronkdo. The Northwest Army colluded with each other and was very xenophobic, and the Sistine was the acting governor of a province, but he was forced by Ronkedo to not dare to meddle outside the pass, and reluctantly gathered some troops to protect himself, and if he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, he had to make some tough gestures!

So whether it's tonight's deliberations, or the previous break into the city, all the purpose is to deter these guys first, so that they don't have the audacity to act. If the momentum of Jose, the county keeper, is not as great as Gray, then I am afraid that those middle and low-level officials who are watching may not be convinced by Jose.

That night, in the Sadrand County Warden's Mansion, all the civil and military generals at all levels in the county town received an invitation from the new Sadrand County Warden and gathered in the hall of the County Warden Mansion to discuss matters.

Although it was known that the new county keeper was a noble official personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, considering the current situation outside Moxi Pass, many officials had a wait-and-see and hesitant attitude. However, everyone knows that after the new magistrate took office, he summoned everyone to discuss the matter that night, and I am afraid that it was not just as simple as the so-called "deliberation".

Many people have already heard about what happened at the city gate at noon today, and the garrison refused to let the county guard enter the city through the main gate, and the lord directly destroyed the city gate in a fit of rage and forced his way into the main gate. After hearing about this incident, Lord Gray, the commander of the garrison, did not show much of an attitude, but immediately sent a large number of soldiers to temporarily stand guard at the city gate.

As soon as this kind of thing came out, many people couldn't help but pay a little more attention to the impression of the new county guard: This lord from the imperial capital not only has a strange identity, he is not only a nobleman but also an imperial official, and at the same time he is a magician! And this guy doesn't seem to have a good temper, at this moment, the armaments of the county town of Sadland are all in the hands of the Northwest Army, and in Moduo County, not far from Sadland, the general of the Northwest Army, Long Keduo, is stationed 50,000 troops outside the pass.

In this case, as long as you have a little brain, you know that it is best not to go head-to-head with the Northwest Army, but this newly arrived aristocratic magician lord looks stunned, which makes many people sweat for him.

In the Sadrand County Mansion, a lot of people had gathered at this time, and most of these were civil and military officials of all levels in the Sadrand County City. It is worth mentioning that most of these middle- and lower-level officials are old people in the former Sadrand county town, and these people constitute a system of middle- and lower-level officials in Sadrand. After all, although the Northwest Army is powerful, it will not be able to replace all the original officials in the county with their own people, right?

So these guys can be regarded as a group of neutrals, after all, after several major positions are occupied by the generals of the Northwest Army, there is no need for these petty officials to be wooed.

At this time, a large number of men and horses appeared on the street at the gate of the county guard's mansion, led by a fierce cavalry team, numbering hundreds of people. Where would anyone dare to stop such an army coming through the streets?

Most of the ordinary pedestrians avoided it from a distance, and it was not until they reached the gate of the county guard's mansion that the cavalry reined in and stood up.

At this moment, the garrisons inside and outside the county guard's mansion had been replaced by José's own people, but the people standing guard at the door were not slave warriors, but several central troops in that line. On the first day of the arrival of those Central Army, where did they see such a menacing posture?

Several soldiers standing guard hurriedly stepped forward, although they couldn't help but feel a little stunned in their hearts, but they had to whisper on their faces: "Who are you, dare to trespass into the county guard's mansion?"
