Chapter 463: The Little Girl of the New City
The new city is tall and large, and the scale of the city is also larger. More of the Empire was run and built for many years. This makes the new city already the top large city in the northern part of the empire.
Even when the Red Snow Army occupied Siltan County. Manninger was a man of great talent. The base camp is located in the new city, which shows that the location of this place is very important!
The location of the new city is also a north-south transportation hub. The transportation is convenient, if you use this as the base camp. It is conducive to the smooth flow of government decrees. Centered on the new town. It is enough to radiate the territory of the three counties that Char currently holds.
But if the new city is the base camp of the new land. Uniquely a trouble. It's people. !
Syrtan County was really harmed by Odin. The population has already decreased sharply, and the new city, as the capital city, was originally in peace with the period. There were more than 100,000 people on land, but it was occupied by the Odin after it became Manninger's stronghold. The city is almost empty!
Manninger originally used the new city as a base for his future migration to his own tribe. Most of the original inhabitants of the new city had already been relocated, and some of them were classified as slave labor, and the new city had become almost a pure Odin city.
If you want to use the new city as a new base camp, this is a huge city. Sparsely populated. It would be necessary to migrate large numbers of people from elsewhere......
The migration of tens of thousands of people is not a small workload! Moreover, the financial cost of large-scale migration is by no means a few!
But if you don't move. Judging from Char's current territory and sphere of influence, a remote border town like Denzel City is indeed no longer suitable as a base camp.
Move. Or not to move......
Move. The financial pressure is too great. Moreover, now Char's territory is fixed, the foundation is unstable, and the army needs to be reorganized. Military spending is a huge number.
And, outside of these. There is another problem that gives Char a headache, which is placed in front of Char's land, and it is the most urgent and urgent problem to solve!
He saw a war to be won. It has achieved an unprecedented victory, the territory has expanded several times, and the Northern Garrison Military Region has been formally established, and the canonized garrison generals have also officially become garrison troops. He hadn't had time to expand his army yet. But military spending has grown a lot!
The reason also made Char speechless. ps:16k mobile network:.!Entertainment exchange yy:399446~Huahua update~
Originally, Char had already called itself the "Northern Theater of Operations". But the name was a fake, and he commanded tens of thousands of troops at that time. However, military salaries were carried out according to the standards of the local garrisons of the empire.
Bi Jing, Char's previous position as a local official was the chief of the local county armament, and the army under his command was only a local garrison army at the beginning, and the army under him was under him. Let's not talk about the original family background. The horse thief brought by Miss Nenei. I don't care much about military salaries. The remnants of the Sixth and Seventh Corps were originally the regular Central Army. Land acquisition is a military salary at the level of the central army, which is more than twice as high as that of the local garrison army.
But after all, at that time. The 6th and 7th Corps were in trouble. The Seventh Corps was almost completely annihilated, and the few people who stabbed down on the ground came to Char. Like a lost dog. It was fortunate that they could survive, and the temporary items were under Char's hands, and Char provided them with food and grass to eat and drink. Even if it's grateful. Later, he was incorporated into the Xia Ya Army, and he also temporarily received a low salary at the level of the local garrison, these people can be reluctantly accepted, who makes himself a phoenix in distress not as good as a grass chicken......
Subsequently, the alliance was added one after another, and the thousands of Rodria cavalry were not to mention. These elite cavalry have a lot of connections with Char, and they all come with a full stomach of volunteers, even if they don't take money, they are willing to fight bravely to kill the enemy. The Rhodella cavalry is the elite of the first class of the empire. Military salaries have always been the highest among the many corps in the central military and localities!
Thousands of cavalry under Char's command. Char could only implement it slightly higher than the standard of the local garrison, but fortunately, the thousands of Rodria cavalry accepted it without complaint.
Later, new recruits were recruited one after another to expand the army, and military salaries were also paid according to the standards of local garrisons.
So. Although Char had tens of thousands of soldiers, the cost of military salaries was much lower than that of the princes of other places. It's a bit of a bargain.
But now, the empire has ordered the "Northern Garrison", and the tens of thousands of people in Char are counted as "garrisons", and the names are clearly written on the military decree of the imperial canonization. The status of the garrison army is the same level as that of the Imperial Central Army, and the treatment is also the same level as the Central Army!
Let's be honest. This status at the beginning. It was Adric who won the land for Char. The reason is simple. The status of the garrison. The higher the status earned, the greater Char's voice and influence at the imperial political level.
But here's the problem...... The status is the same as that of the Central Army. The treatment should be the same!
Then Char's tens of thousands of troops under his command will not be able to pay military salaries according to the standards of local garrisons in the future...... According to the standards of the Central Army, military expenses are only military salaries. The number is about to be doubled! And the Imperial Central Army has always enjoyed all sorts of additional perks and subsidies. These treatments will also be indispensable in the future to the ground n army to be able to fight and fight bravely. If you still treat the soldiers harshly, even Char himself won't be able to get by.
Although Char has now established his prestige in the army, with his prestige, some soldiers are willing to die for him, but ...... Fuya asked herself. Your own army is more able to endure hardships than someone else's. More able to fight. He is more willing to fight desperately, if he lets these warriors follow him. The harvest of enjoyment is less than that of other people's armies. He can't get over his conscience.
To improve the treatment of the military, it is natural to use money! But where does the money come from?
Although there was a wealth route of the Zaku tribe before. But after all, it is also limited. That bit of financial resources has been brought into full play by Char! With such a small amount of territory, he pulled out more than 20,000 troops, which is already the limit of his financial resources. It is supported by the source of the Zaku tribe.
But now if you want to improve the treatment of the army. You have to think about another way to make money.
The territory is large. If the population of the land in hand is large, the fiscal revenue should be increased. But the problem is. He seized both of them. It's all poisoned by the damn Odin. If we want to recover, it will take some time, and it will not be possible to increase fiscal revenue much immediately. Even, according to Green's guess, in order to recover. To encourage production, I am afraid that I will have to post a large amount of money from the treasury.
Military spending will be increased, and financial subsidies will be provided to encourage production. There is also the cost of "moving the capital". Everything costs money!
After talking to Green. Char had a splitting headache. Suddenly, I couldn't help but have a ridiculous thought: Lao Tzu obviously won an unprecedented victory. Why is it that the poor are about to collapse?
Where can I get money?
One thought of money. Char's eyes were red!
"Fortunately, the food can still be supported for the time being. Green sighed: "After all, Syltan County and Moore County are both grain-producing areas, and it is already spring. The matter of spring ploughing has been carried out. The refugees have already returned to their hometowns in batches, and I have dispatched tens of thousands of troops to disperse the work of spring plowing in various villages. The feedback back news is good, and the spring ploughing is done, and it will be time for the harvest. Food is no longer a problem, and we are a grain-producing area, and the grain is being harvested. In addition to self-sufficient use. You can also make a profit. ”
"The matter of moving to the new city can be done slowly, and there is no hurry for a while, and the matter of financial subsidies for production can be resumed. The money used can also be invested in batches. For the time being, I can barely take a break.
The top priority is military spending!"
Char made up her mind quickly!
Although he didn't quite understand what the way to do was to govern. He has never been a leader, and he doesn't know any imperial skills, but he has a very clean point of view: the army is the biggest reliance in his hands now!
The army is the foundation of his land! If the army is unstable. As long as the army is stable, there will be room to deal with other things.
After the battle with the Odin. Because Char immediately led his troops south to King Qin at that time, the battle against Odin's Chixue Army was rewarded for his meritorious deeds. There are also military expenses and pensions, and so on, which have not yet been completed.
The army only issued a bereavement pension first, but the merit was rewarded. It has not yet had time to fully implement it. The whole army is up and down. Just wait for their boss to come back and reward him for the previous battle.
The number of heads and the number of umbrellas won are all famous.
In addition to this "head reward", there is also a reward for the whole army after winning the battle, and a reward will also be set and distributed.
Char went south to the imperial capital, and it took more than two months to go back and forth. Fortunately, his prestige in the army had been established, and Green had made it clear to the whole army. Wait for Fuya, the coach, to come back. The reward specifications were immediately set and distributed to the whole army, and the soldiers waited patiently.
Now Char is back. The rewards and pensions of the last war will be given out immediately.
That's a lot of money!
Headache, what a headache!
Char was not an outstanding master of government affairs in the first place, and under him, Green was not a master of handling government affairs. In this small group under his command, it seems that only Dax, who has an ambiguous background, has a bit of crooked ability in financial management, but he is not good at handling this kind of formal government affairs and finances. Other. They are all cadres in the army.
It's okay to stare and kill people in a war, but it's better to shake your head if you deal with these things.
Char grabbed her hair hard. In addition to the pain, suddenly my heart suddenly moved!
That's right. None of my subordinates understand this, but didn't I just bring back a master of this way this time?
Sophie, that little apprentice of Cavishir. Didn't even Cavishir say something like "I am not as good as you in the government of a country"?
Kavihir said that that girl can seek the government of a country, not to mention that she only has a few counties in her hands.
Come to think of it. He immediately sent for Sophie to come over.
Sophie and Char went into the new city together.
After Char entered Syltan County, he left behind the convoy and the escort army to march slowly, and rushed to the new city with cavalry and light horses. This Sophie can obviously walk leisurely in the carriage in the back team. But I didn't know which of the little woman's tendons was wrong, but she offered to ride a horse with Char's team.
And at her insistence. Char agreed. Let Juncker take the girl on horseback and follow his cavalry. Together in the new city.
After entering the city, Char left the two guests in the old county guard's mansion, but Sophie is a strange girl. Don't wait to stop and rest. Accompanied by Juncker, he ran out of the Kente's mansion and wandered around the new city. ps:16k mobile network:.!Entertainment exchange yy:399446~Huahua update~
It had been more than two months since the new city had been occupied by Char's army, and the traces of the war had faded.
It's just that the original inhabitants of the city are empty. After the war, a small number of refugees heard the news of the liberation and returned. It's just that the population is still sparse, and at the moment there are only 20,000 troops stationed in the city, but the city is a veritable military town.
Sophie and Juncker roamed the streets at will, and from time to time they saw soldiers in imperial uniforms patrolling the city. Sophie smiled and asked Juncker to comment on the soldiers.
For this kind of question, Juncker just smiled faintly, and his expression was quite reserved. It's not that Juncker doesn't look down on these troops in Fuya, it's that he has too high a vision. After all, he used to be the leader of the Night Palace, and the Night Palace Forest was the emperor's personal elite soldiers, and each member was the strongest of the thousands of selected people. At the moment, however, the army in the new city was "a little mixed: part of Char's army was from the 6th and 7th Corps, and some recruited recruits" in addition to a large number of corps of Corsican.
Although Green's military strategy is very good, in just two months, he still doesn't have the ability to train a ragtag army into an elite.
Now it seems that he has initially practiced a good posture, and the frame of the marching is not bad, so I don't know how the fight will be.
For this seemingly empty and even indifferent city, Sophie seems to have a great interest: "Walking around the cold streets, as if everything is fresh." Walking all the way to the city defense, looking at the walls of the new city, Sophie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl stood under the city wall, looking at the tall and majestic city defense, and nodded slowly, as if she was very satisfied.
Although the new city is a little empty, the city defense is indeed very good. This large city with a population of 100,000 people has a huge city defense system. And the empire has been running it for many years, "and it has turned this new city into the first majestic fortress city in the north of the empire."
The system of city defense is complete, the city wall is tall, the moat is more than ten meters wide, the river surface is more than two meters from the ground, and the depth of the river is also several meters, which is enough to protect the city wall. The inner and outer walls of the city wall were made of huge square stone blocks "so tight that even a sharp dagger could not be inserted." The outer wall of the city defense is "prismatic and chaining" arrow holes. Outside the gates were built outer forts, tall towers were erected, ballistas were of a range enough to terrify enemies who dared to attack the city, and the huge gates were made of the finest solid wood in the most interpretive form, and the outer layer was covered with iron. In addition to this door panel, the city gate is also added a thick iron trouble, made of pure iron, the thickness is enough to be two meters! This iron trouble, which weighs 10,000 catties, is hoisted high on weekdays and never falls. It's just that if the outer city gate is breached at the most critical time of the war, you can put down this 10,000-pound iron to make trouble, forming the last strong and unstoppable cover!
Such a well-fortified city is enough to become a nightmare for any enemy who comes to attack.
Sophie stopped at the city and looked at it for a while, before she couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that Char only brought a cavalry of less than 1,000 people to take this city, which is a good skill*......"
When Juncker heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly: "I have also heard of this, but it was his luck, I heard that the defenders despised him for having few soldiers, went out of the city to fight with him, and he broke the team by surprise, and then took advantage of the situation to break the city, this kind of good thing does not happen often." This city defense is very good, if I am given 20,000 or 30,000 defenders, and enough arrows and crossbow equipment, even if there are more than 100,000 enemies to attack, I am confident that the opponent will shed the last drop of blood under this city defense!"
Sophie smiled and glanced at Juncker: "Senior brother is so ambitious." ”,
Juncker was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a hint of desolation, and he smiled bitterly: "What about good ambition...... Alas, the bereaved are nothing more than a person who is struggling to survive, and there is no need to say anything about ambition*......"
"I think that Char is a big man, Juncker has excellent military skills, he will definitely reuse your *......" Sophie smiled: "Maybe, you will be able to make another Night Palace*......"
Juncker was quite moved in his heart.* A person like him has the ability to "suffer setbacks and have to be incognito, but after all, a manly man, who wants to hide like a dog and live a mediocre life?" If there is a chance, he naturally wants to do something.
It's just that this intention in my heart quickly turned into a concern.
With a long sigh, Junker looked a little hesitant and said in a low voice: "Little girl, you don't understand." Historically, any army has been very xenophobic, and if outsiders want to join, they will be ostracized by the elderly. Char has been starting for a while, and his subordinates have formed a circle, and if outsiders want to join halfway, I'm afraid it's not so easy. Besides, in the army, a radish and a pit, suddenly adding me to it, it will inevitably divide the military power of others, which will cause the dissatisfaction of other old people...... Alas, I'm afraid it's very difficult.
And I'm a person with no roots, even if General Char is willing to use me, I haven't made any merits, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to arrange*......"
In addition, there was a sentence in his heart that he did not say: If he was allowed to start from scratch as a low-ranking officer in the Xia Ya Army, he would not be proud of his Junker's heart.
Sophie smiled and was about to say something, when she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind ......her, and when she looked back, it was the captain of the guard next to Char who came with a few guards flying horses, and shouted loudly from afar: "But Miss Sophie?
Sophie listened, smiled slightly, looked at the number of horses coming from the distance, but whispered to Juncker beside him and smiled: "Look, isn't the opportunity coming...... ,”
