Chapter 126, Hidden Edge
Interests are always the means that can best stimulate the potential of the nobility. The enclosure movement was soon completed, and the construction of the city was in full swing.
It is obviously too late to recruit laborers from the country, so we can only let soldiers become laborers, and aristocratic officers become foremen.
Without any accidents, the follow-up new regiments all became construction teams. As for the elite troops, they are still training normally on the one hand, and vigilant against the enemy's attack on the other.
Everyone was busy, but Hudson, as the coach, was idle. Except for the occasional exchange of feelings with the big nobles in the army, there is basically nothing else.
Frankly speaking, as a rising star, Hudson still felt a little uncomfortable in breaking into the high-level aristocratic circle.
Fortunately, this is in the military, and the emphasis is on efficiency. All activities should be kept simple, otherwise you will have to make jokes.
Dealing with different people brings different feelings. The most immediate gap is the vision, and many times Hudson feels that he can't keep up.
There is no way, he has never been exposed to the education of the great nobles, and most of his knowledge comes from the supplementary classes in recent years.
The nobles of Tiannan and Haibei have their own characteristics, but there is one thing in common, that is, scheming.
Vaguely, Hudson suddenly discovered that this war was being used by the major forces as a whetstone to sharpen his own juniors, as if he was planning a big move.
Through constant temptation, he was also able to hear some information about the Ten Thousand Years Tribulation. It's a pity that everyone is very taboo about these news, and even if it is inadvertently revealed, it will quickly change the topic.
Others wouldn't say it, and Hudson couldn't do anything about it. This kind of secrecy is only recorded in a very small number of ancient families.
When it comes to family inheritance, the nobles of the Northern Continent are a few points inferior. As the last territory opened up by the human race, the time that it really occupied the Northern Continent was only more than 1,500 years.
Most of the nobles in the kingdom were ancestors of the aristocratic lineage who migrated from the central and southern parts of the continent, and only a few nobles came from commoner families.
Even now, there are many great nobles in the kingdom with a long heritage, and they maintain contact with the main line.
However, this kind of connection is no longer an ordinary subordinate relationship, but more inclined to watch over each other's strategic allies, as well as business partners.
This is a complex relationship, and it's not that insiders can't figure it out at all. The more he saw, the more Hudson felt that the world was not friendly to those who came after him.
It is no wonder that many great nobles were able to stand up again after their decline. The efforts of future generations are only one aspect, and the key is to have the strength behind them.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a force behind the enemy that made the enemy fearful, I am afraid that after the defeat of the struggle, it would not be long before it was divided by the wolves.
All this is something that Hudson can't envy. No matter how much help other families have behind them, the Coslow family is really poor.
The number of branch tribes scattered outside is indeed quite large; But when it comes to quality, it's hard to put it into words.
Most of them were semi-literate, at most they could read a few words, and received some basic training as a knight.
Only a very small number of them from good families have completed the basic education of the low-level nobles. Occasionally, a few second- and third-rate talents can pop up, and that is all a big luck.
If it weren't for the lack of education, with the population base of the Coslow family, how could a few outstanding people be cultivated in a few hundred years.
Even if the class jump is not realized, at least a few branches have touched the threshold of the middle aristocracy, and they are only missing the last chance to kick in the door.
"Nelson, Evola, these are some of the experiences I have summed up in dealing with people through contact with the big nobles in various places in the recent period."
The two of you should study it carefully, learn from it, and then find an opportunity to pass it on to your people.
"If you don't understand something, you can ask me. In the next few days, I will most likely be free. ”
During the war, Hudson was also very helpless to popularize the rules of conduct of the great nobles to his clansmen.
He has already conducted similar make-up classes more than once. There are too many debts in front of us, and we can't expect a group of semi-literate people to cross over at once.
What's more, many things that are passed on by word of mouth and imperceptibly have no written records at all. Many things, even Hudson himself, are groping his way forward.
If he is not in communication and is found to be a problem, he will pretend. When spending time with other nobles, he spends most of his time as a listener.
The more things I heard, the more I opened my eyes. What's more, he has already experienced the impact of the information explosion, and his ability to accept new things is not ordinarily strong.
It has become a common practice to screen what you have learned and then teach it to your people in batches.
The effect can only be said to be better than nothing, mainly depending on personal qualifications. Some people understand a lot of things, and some people don't learn anything.
After all, the foundation is too poor, and I am used to the logic of the low-level nobles, and it is difficult to adapt to the gameplay between the big nobles in a short period of time.
Hudson didn't expect too much from the adult children of these families. The real focus of cultivation is still the group of teenagers in the territory.
"Okay!"
"That's right, Hudson. Will it have any impact if you divide the affairs of the generals? ”
"Now in the camp, there is a lot of gossip. Many people say that you are a waste of fame, but you only know ......"
Halfway through his words, Nelson swallowed back. It's really unspeakable, even if they are brothers, it doesn't mean that they can say anything.
"Haha."
Hudson laughed.
"There are gossips in the army, that's right! I deliberately let people out, and if you don't hear it, it's a problem. ”
Everything is to blame on youth.
Being in a high position makes people "jealous", and it is not a big deal; But if it arouses everyone's "jealousy", it will be a big trouble.
A military commander in his twenties is terrifying to think about.
If it weren't for the sudden change in the political situation in the kingdom, even if he had great merit, this position would not have fallen to Hudson's head.
In this context, even if he had the opportunity to firmly control the army in his hands, he had to deliberately act very reluctantly.
is to make the outside world mistakenly think that his foundation in the army is unstable, and he still needs the cooperation of the two deputy commanders to be able to control the whole army.
This was not only for Caesar III, but also for the great nobles in the army, and even the two lieutenants who divided power were also in the game.
As a loyal servant of the kingdom, now that His Majesty needs a balance of power in the army, Hudson naturally wants to balance it for him.
Knowing that his fellow nobles did not like to see a strong commander, Hudson was very cooperative in fulfilling their wishes.
In a sense, this is also the reason why Hudson had to retire after the war. At his age, if he dominates the position and doesn't let go, he can not move his nest for a hundred years.
Now Hudson's roots in the army are still shallow, and in the time of Caesar III, the king was still able to hold it down.
But the throne has been passed on for two or three generations, and he has become a veteran of the DPRK and China, and most of the rising generals in the army have become his cronies, so it is really a threat.
It may not be realistic to usurp the throne and rebel, but it is as simple as eating and drinking water to replace the king as a powerful minister.
The Orc Empire, watching the Terran coalition encircle and occupy their own land, but they are powerless, is undoubtedly the biggest shame in life for the five emperors.
"We can't let it go on like this, we have to fight back!"
As soon as the bear man's words landed, he heard a "bump" sound, and saw that the table in front of him had been torn apart and sawdust was flying.
"Emperor Xiong, calm down. What the Terrans are doing is indeed challenging our bottom line, but from another perspective, it also reflects their inner hesitation. ”
If they really have the confidence to destroy us, there is no need for them to be so eager to occupy land and build defensive lines.
"Eighty percent of them are Arfa people, and they are not optimistic about this war, so they prepared in advance."
Alex tried to persuade.
Most of them have been on fire recently, and the tempers of several beast emperors are bigger than one another, so that he, a professional persuader, is about to be unable to keep up.
Unpleasant is not happy, the role he should play, Alex still did not discount.
Everything is to pay off the bad debts before, and the mess left by the old Beamon Emperor is now falling on him, the heir.
As the weakest of the five royal families now, Alex must always be rational and not have the slightest will.
"It doesn't really matter what Alfa thinks. What we need to do now is to let the enemy do whatever they want. ”
It's easier to destroy than to build, and when they're almost done, we'll send troops over and finish their defenses.
"In a short period of time, our main task is to calm down the chaos in the country as soon as possible, and we can't let them cause chaos for us at a critical moment!"
The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor said coldly.
Compared with the visible external enemy, the rebel army hidden inside is the most hateful.
Especially after learning that the rebels have started a civil strife this time, and there are Terrans behind them, it is even more unbearable.
"The Wolf Emperor is right, we must not let go of any rebellion."
It's just that reinforcements from the Terran Alliance are coming from all directions, and it is absolutely impossible to just make a show of coming out and scare us back.
"There will inevitably be a fierce battle to be fought next, the Empire's preparations are far from enough, we need a complete set of combat plans and countermeasures."
The Eagle Emperor's analysis has lowered the temperature in the room by at least ten degrees. Fight the Terrans head-on, that was the plan.
With the following series of sudden changes, everyone's expectations are getting lower and lower. From the earliest destruction of the human race to seize the position of the overlord of the continent, it has been reduced to the current survival.
