Chapter 172: Return to Wildfire Town

Char was unhappy in his heart, even if Green came up and hugged him by the shoulder, he deliberately avoided it coldly, got on the horse himself, and said coldly: "Let's go!"

Green smiled, led the way in front, and the group entered the city together.

Along the way, Char was in a bad mood, and he didn't have the heart to look at the scenery on the streets of the city, and finally came to the garrison with Green and the others, which was originally the military headquarters of the war zone, and after the military headquarters was evacuated after the war, it was returned to the local garrison.

When I came to the gate of the garrison mansion, I saw that the guards guarding the door here barely looked like soldiers, wearing all clothes and armor, and the access was secure.

If nothing else, this will be Char's official residence for the next few years.

Entering the garrison mansion and rushing into the lobby in one breath, Char immediately shouted: "Everyone get out of here!"

There were some officers and soldiers in the capital next to him, these people still didn't know Char, they just thought it was a guest brought by Green, seeing that Char was so arrogant, they were all a little dissatisfied, Green sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Get out!" This is the new commander of armaments, you don't follow orders, do you want to find death!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly changed, looked at Char in fear, and ran out in a swarm.

When there was no one else in the lobby, Char couldn't sit still, slapped the table and got up, pressed one hand on the handle of the fire fork on his waist, stared at Green, and said coldly: "Say it! If you can't find a doorway, Lao Tzu will cut you today!"

Green smiled, looked at the hand that Char pressed on the fire fork on his waist, and smiled slightly: "I believe you can do it, and I also understand your current anger, if it were me, I'm afraid I would want to kill people." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand: "You can wait a while." ”

He turned and walked into the lobby, and after a while he came back, carrying a leather bag with a drum in his hand, and threw it on the table in front of Char, and immediately heard the sound of a piece of metal in the leather bag, and Green took out the dagger and cut it, and saw that it was full of coins, including copper plates, silver coins, and even some gold coins.

So many coins are slowly in a bag, and the number is really not small!

Green then took out a booklet from his bosom and threw it in front of Char.

"What's that?" Char snorted, finally raising her eyelids.

"Accounts. Green smiled: "After I came here to take office, the old guys and old officers of the original local garrison here have wooed me, some have been squeezed out, some have been bought, and some have been attached. In the past few days since I came here, how many bribes have I received, and how many bribes I have received with these military rats have been filled, and the spoils I have received have been distributed this season, and almost all of the senior officers in these armies have been connected in series, and according to the number of vacancies, the proportion has been divided, and everyone can get a share, which is called equal benefit...... Calculated from seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and eight, every amount of black money I collected, from the vacancy of military salaries, to the extortion of past merchants, and the unleashed scoundrels in the army to cause trouble and loot land...... All the proceeds, every single one, are clearly recorded in this booklet. Where did the money come from, who gave it, who bribed it, and who did it lawlessly...... You can see it at a glance. ”

Char was stunned for a moment, looked at the booklet on the table in front of him, and subconsciously stretched out his fingers, but then his heart moved, he looked at Green with a straight face, snorted twice, and said: "Do you want to pass the test when you hand in a booklet?" Green, I can also think that you are scavenging oil and water, and I wrote this account book in order to keep one hand." Now that I'm here, you can't be fooled, so you handed over this account book to me, trying to deceive me. ”

Green was stunned for a moment, looked at Char with wide eyes, then laughed a few times, shook his head and smiled: "Hahahaha! Okay, Char, you are much more mature, and you actually know how to guard against this." Well, you're right, you're considerate. If I just rely on such an account book, it will not prove my innocence. ”

Green laughed a few times, and then restrained his grin, and said slowly: "Char, you have to understand one thing, in this world, everywhere pays attention to the rules of a newcomer's old relatives and alienation. Although you and I are both officials appointed by the military department, first, we have no foundation here, and second, we have no understanding of the old men in this place...... Hmph, you don't know how bad the old habit of bullying is in the army. What is a bit arrogant and arrogant, if you rashly shoot a new boss for them, most of them can't control the scene, some powerful, the people below can make a few sets casually, and you can play the new unpleasant boss above to death. You and I have come from afar, we have no local eyeline roots, and there is no local force to support us, among these guys, it is difficult to guarantee that there are some unscrupulous guys who have bad intentions towards you. ”

Char snorted and said indignantly: "When you encounter this kind of bastard, you will be directly punished by military law, and those who should be beaten will be beaten, and those who should be killed will be killed with one sword! Don't Lao Tzu dare to kill people!"

Green shook his head: "It's a way to kill people, but the people below are not fools, since people have the intention to mess with you, they won't deliberately force you on the surface, at most they will incite the people below to make trouble together, and then the law will not blame the public, even if you have strict military law, it will be difficult to cut off all the people below, right? The kind of messing around with you in person is nothing, and the most feared thing is the kind of person who is respectful to you in person, but disobeys your orders, and secretly has bad water behind your back--Hmph, when you make a loyal and courageous appearance in front of you, whether he is a male thief or a female prostitute behind your back, or is he fierce and vicious, where can you understand clearly for a while? You are about to show your strength, and the other party gives you so many little tricks, and if you are not careful, you will be disgraced. When you're new to the city, how can you tell the difference between good people and those who are outwardly loyal but vicious?"

Char heard a little bit of the taste, and couldn't help but feel a little weaker anger on his face, and looked at Green: "What do you mean......"

"My meaning is very simple, if I come to make a jealous and hateful appearance, I am afraid of the real situation below, don't try to find out at all! I come to office alone, and I don't even have a reliable henchman by my side, if the people here have the intention to deceive me, I will be blindfolded, my ears blocked, and I don't even want to know the real situation. Even if I wake up in the future, I'm afraid that I will waste a lot of time. So, I might as well just -- defile myself! If I want these local scoundrels to be unguarded against me, then I first have to pretend to be their kind. ”

Green smiled bitterly: "These days, I have done a lot of bad things, as soon as I came here, I deliberately put on a look of being eager to get oil and water, at the beginning of my tenure, I did not refuse the bribes sent below, and accepted them all, so that the people below breathed a sigh of relief and did not guard against me." ”

"There are bribes when you take office?" Char frowned: "You are just a battalion officer, who will give you money for a small battalion officer?"

"Hmph, if it's in the zhōngyāng standing corps, naturally no. But in such a local garrison, a set of inherent latent rules has long been formed. ”

Green came to the god Jīng and sat next to Char, he spoke for a while, his mouth was a little dry, he grabbed a kettle on the table and drank it all, and then slowly explained to Char with his fingers:

"As soon as I came here, I made it clear that 'everyone earns money', and then I learned a lot of ways. The local garrison and military affairs system in Moore County is almost completely rotten from the roots! Let's just say that this is an empty military salary, and an interest class group has almost been formed! As small as a captain, as big as the former chief of armaments, as well as a cadre of officers in the garrison of this county, logistics and military quartermasters, and so on, and so on, all of them can be regarded as rain and dew! Let me tell you this! The flag regiment in Moore County should be six battalions, and the officers of the logistics and quartermaster department should eat one battalion first! This is the rule! Logistics quartermaster is responsible for the distribution of military supplies and military salaries, and the vacant amount can be hidden from others but cannot be hidden from them. Then the Judge Advocate General's Office eats a battalion, which is also the rule. The following battalion officers share the quota of one battalion, and the flag officer in charge of the flag regiment eats one battalion alone...... In this way, in fact, the real number of a flag regiment is only two battalions...... It is difficult to say how much combat effectiveness these two battalions can have. Those soldiers here, as you have seen today, are many of them unemployed ruffians recruited nearby, and this kind of person must have some kinship with these local officers, or simply take the initiative to serve...... Ping Rì is wearing a tiger skin, is it okay to blackmail local civilians, and go into battle? Then don't expect it at all. ”

Char's head was as big as a fight when he heard it: "The military logistics and the military justice department are openly eating empty quotas?"

"Of course. Green sneered: "This is not the end. He sneered, "There's more to making money than that. ”

He continued to calculate: "According to the emperor's law, anyone who enlists in the army and becomes a local garrison will be exempted from all taxes after enlistment. And the local garrison government also regarded this as a way to make money. If you want to join the army? It's easy to do! Just take the money, and you can clearly mark the price of an ordinary soldier, a sergeant, and a team officer! Even if your predecessor is even more ruthless, he even dares to sell the official position of the battalion officer under his command! Every year when this money is obtained, it is still the people of the upper and lower systems who sit down to share the spoils, and when the rain and dew are evenly distributed, an interest group is formed, and one is prosperous and the other is lost! In this way, even if you want to fight these rats, you will not be able to start. If you make it clear that the carriages and horses will be rectified, they will shrink their heads, and you know who the good guys are and who the bad guys are? If you don't have a year and a half, you don't want to figure it out, but in a year and a half, they have joined forces and secretly put a few tricks on you, so that you will suffer two hardships ruthlessly, and maybe even make a big disaster, and they will directly transfer you away. This kind of thing has not happened in the army. ”

"That's why you're here. Char nodded.

"Not bad. Green also nodded and smiled bitterly: "You and I came here, naturally we are not waiting for death, since we are here, we have to do a good job." In order to rectify the situation, we must first find out the details of the situation here, and in the system up and down, which are good people and which are Jiān people. As soon as I came, I pretended to be a greedy guy, and after a few temptations, the money came to me without refusal, and they quickly accepted it, and I was included in the system. The situation up and down has also been clarified. Hmph, I collected the money and recorded it one by one. Which people are rotten and which are excluded in the local garrison military system of Mor County...... I already remember seven, seven, eight, eight. I deliberately let my subordinates do anything wrong, and looted in the city, that is, to show the money scraped by the carriages and horses, so that the people below are even more unscrupulous, and some of the guys who were originally hidden have also jumped out recently, and they have intensified their efforts to make money, and I see these people in my eyes and remember them in my heart. These rats have now paid for the water, and when you come, you can close the net and wipe out all these guys! Then we will use thunderous means to rectify military affairs and strive to get rid of the armaments of Moore County in the fastest possible time! After that, you and I will let go of our hands and feet, and we can do great things!"

"Good!" Char slapped the table.

"And ......" Green smiled, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and sneered in a low voice: "These rats are fattened and slaughtered with a knife...... They have scraped so many years of savings, which are just used to replenish military spending. I know that military spending is tight, you don't have any money in your hands, if you want to build a qualified army, you have to sprinkle a lot of money, what the military budget in the county looks like, I know very well...... Hmph, let these guys jump around now, they will loot the money, and they will carry the notoriety. When the time comes, you will sweep away the fallen leaves in an autumn wind and knock them all down, so that you can use their looted wealth to enrich the military expenses, and second, you can also gain popular popularity......"

Char was shocked when she heard this, and stared at this Green, and felt a faint chill in her heart: Damn, this Green, looking honest, turned out to be a ruthless corner!

Green smiled slightly, saw the jealousy in Char's eyes, and said slowly: "Doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times, this method is not the right way, but if we want to do something, we have to fight day and night, so we have to take some unconventional means." It is really a bit unreasonable to use this method to collect money, but it is ...... It's also a last resort. ”

Damn it...... Even if you get money, you have gained popularity, and as for the black cauldron, these rats are still on their backs...... Green's hand is so fucking beautiful!

Char secretly remembered in his heart, and he could be regarded as learning again.

"There's also a roster here, and the first few pages are rotten moths of the county's armament system. As for the last page, it is some people in the local army who have been squeezed out by the moth-eaten group of their colleagues, and I think that since they are squeezed out by those moth-eaters, I think they are some upright people who are unwilling to go along with the same stream, and I have secretly recorded the names of these people, and in the future, after we reorganize our armaments, we can all promote them one by one. You and I don't know each other well here, and if I don't play this hand, I really can't do it, otherwise, I don't know how much trouble I will have to go through. ”

After such a conversation, Char had no guilt in his heart, and bowed deeply to Green, and said: "General Green, thank you! I didn't know the situation just now, and I was very unkind to you, well, I am an ignorant boy, if you are angry in your heart, even if you scold me fiercely, if you are still angry, you can punch me a few times!"

Green laughed, looked at Char and said slowly: "I hit you off at first sight, although I don't have a deep friendship, but I can be regarded as a sincere friendship...... In the future, I will not be called 'General Green', I will only be a battalion officer under your command from now on, and the army is hierarchical and pays attention to the order of the upper and lower levels...... Naturally I won't, you are jealous and hateful, I am very happy in my heart, if you Char were not such a person, Lao Tzu would not follow you. Hit you...... I wouldn't dare. ”

Char smiled, and a hint of cunning appeared on his straight face: "I also know that you don't dare to hit me." ”

Immediately, the two laughed, sat down and talked carefully for a while, and made a detailed calculation on how to reorganize armaments in the future, how to close the net, and how to revitalize military affairs. In the end, Char frowned and said, "It's easy to kill these mice, just grab them and cut them with a knife." But after the fight, there are so many empty seats up and down, where can I find so many people? and...... In the future, there will be no such thing as eating empty quotas on my territory, and we will have to fill up the army with a full strength, but where will we recruit troops? These original defenders in the local area are all rotten, and I am afraid that after we fight them, the upper and lower levels will be empty. If you want to pull the army up, you must first have a few shelves, at least a group of veterans must be enriched as skeletons, and then ......"

Both of them have worked in the jīng Rui army, and they know the importance of veterans, but where can they go to find veterans now?

Char remembered the captain of the cantonment in the small villages he passed on the way, and said: "There seem to be some veterans in the local area, and I met the cantonment captain of a village on the road, who used to be the sixth corps of the Ruhr guy, and it seems that he still looks a little, but he is a little older, and he is still injured...... Alas, the emperor's law, these retired veterans are either too old or disabled and retired, and they can't be used anymore. ”

Green smiled: "You are too anxious, don't be too anxious to pull up a team." I didn't even think about pulling up a flag regiment, my idea was, first ask for jīng! I can get a small amount of jīng sharp, form a battalion, we will train well, and when the training is completed, pull it out. This is located in the frontier, the north is the wildfire field, there are many horse thieves and thieves gangs nearby, we pull the army out, exterminate the bandits, fight a few battles, have seen blood, this is considered a preliminary army, with a battalion as the foundation, in the future, you can select the best of them to become low-level officers on this basis, build a shelf out, recruit and expand in, this is considered to have a flag regiment shelf. I think it will take a year to do this process. That's the first step. It takes a year to rebuild a flag regiment, followed by the training of the troops, the military system of the garrison army in this place is actually very flawed, several battalions are stationed in various places, a plate of scattered sand, there is not much use at all, the second step is to gather the rebuilt army in one place, convenient cāo practice, and then from time to time pull out a small fight, so that the new army can see blood, anyway, this is the border, it is really not possible to pull the team to the wildfire field to fight those black tribe gangs, defeat one, but also capture a lot of trophies, enrich military expenses, this is considered to be a war to support the war, so that there is another year, almost this flag regiment can be counted as a veteran, even if it really experiences war in the future, can barely pull the front line, so as not to collapse as soon as it arrives on the battlefield. ”

Two years...... Char sighed, although he also knew that this kind of thing was urgent, but after all, he was used to seeing jīng sharp like the Rhodría cavalry regiment, and now that he was leading the army, the young man was naturally impatient, and he was eager to have a jīng sharp army immediately. However, he also understood that this matter was not in a hurry, and in two years, he was just barely able to train the army, and he was still far from being as sharp as the Rhodelia Cavalry Regiment.

The two of them lasted a long time before Green left.

Char: This can be regarded as officially stationed in the garrison mansion.

When he, the new chief of armaments, arrived, many officials from the local garrison immediately came to see him, but Char had already discussed the plan with Green. The first thing he did was to announce that he was tired from all the way and did not see any guests for the time being. Immediately, all the old servants and miscellaneous servants in the garrison were dismissed, and none of them remained.

He also didn't check the military documents, rosters, military supplies, inventory, etc., left by his predecessor in the garrison mansion, and the officials in the garrison mansion were originally uneasy, and today's Char at the city gate made these moths a little worried, but I am afraid that this new military chief is a guy who does not understand people, and everyone's financial path may be a little dangerous in the future.

Seeing that Char closed the door after he came, and there was no movement, even the fake account books that were prepared before, people didn't look at them, which made these people mutter.

During this night, the heads of the garrison in Denzel began to secretly meet in tandem, and the moths up and down secretly discussed how to deal with the new boss. In the end, a consensus was made: first use money to pave the way, if this adult is willing to accept money, then things will be easy to do, if not, it means that it is a person who has come to stir up trouble, then everyone does not have to be polite, secretly give him a few ruthless sets of drills, let him taste the bitterness.

The next day, the second battalion officer of the flag regiment of the local garrison of Moore County was promoted, an old man who had worked in the local garrison of Moore County for many years, and as a representative of everyone's public recommendation, he came to the garrison mansion in the name of the chief to ask to see Char, and at the same time accompanied by two entourages and drove a carriage, which was full of gifts, which naturally carried some yellow and white things. This time, in order to welcome this new official, the local garrison system of Moore County had to have a lot of blood, this amount of money is really not small, but everyone thinks of spending money to buy peace for many years to come, but no one objects, if you can smash Char, the new adult, then everyone can continue to make a fortune for many years to come, is this money spent...... There will always be a time when you can earn it back.

As a result, the battalion officer went to visit Lord Char, and after coming to the garrison to ask for a meeting, after a short time inside, Dotorodai Char went out and replied: Lord Armament Chief is tired from the journey and cannot meet guests, but he just sent a message: "Thank you for your heart." ”

However, although the person didn't see it, the gifts and money sent to him, this Char master did not refuse, and accepted the order. I heard that Char-sama's entourage, the servant named Tatara, was very polite, saying that Char-sama was very happy.

Although this answer made everyone have some doubts in their hearts, they were a lot more relieved.

Anyway...... If he is willing to take money, there will be room for things.

It's just that behind closed doors...... Could it be that we are giving less money?

These people secretly met again to discuss, and in the end, everyone made a decision: since they don't think the money is much, it's better to give more!

As long as everyone keeps the current situation, the official position is still there, and they will still be in the army in the future, and they will eat a lot of vacancies, and they will also use their power to desecrate military supplies and ordnance, resell military rations, and control the city defense checkpoints, and make a fortune from those past merchant groups...... You can always earn it back!

As a result, that night, the same battalion officer also visited with two entourages in a carriage, but the bribe sent out this time was worth 5,000 gold coins!

This sum of money was thrown out, and it really worked. The battalion officer, who was said to have given him a gift, stood outside the door for less than half a moment, and the servant of Tatara came out, smiling all over his face, and invited him into the garrison with great enthusiasm, saying that he was received by Lord Char.

Char, who the battalion officer finally met, is said to have sat down and talked for a while, this Char is not as difficult to deal with as he imagined, he is vulgar and bold, and he looks young, and he doesn't look like he has too much scheming, obviously he took the money very happily, and talked to the battalion officer for a while, asked about some local armaments, and was a response to some official articles, and when he came, he was very politely sent out. He also said that when he first came to Mooreshire, he still needed to rely on the support of his local veteran colleagues to stabilize the situation.

When the news came back, people up and down the local garrison system breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, the people below heard the wind and moved, since the adult breathed a sigh of relief, the next morning, people from all walks of life came to the door to ask to see, but the result was that everyone pounced!

In the garrison mansion, this Char-sama is gone! Only the words left are that he left the garrison with his three relatives early this morning, and later received news from the city gate, this lord went out of the city when the city gate was just opened, and I heard that it seemed to be going in the direction of Wildfire Town.

※※※※ Char took Todora Philip and Sharba all the way to the north, and soon crossed the border and entered the area of the wildfire field.

This time it was really back to his hometown, Char looked at the flat wilderness around him, his heart was relieved, and he couldn't help but shout loudly a few times right away.

This time, several people were fully prepared, one person and two horses, and they also brought a lot of money and equipment, all the way north, galloping towards Wildfire Town.

Since he and Grimm have made a plan to let the moths in the local garrison of Mor County jump first, wait for all the fish to surface, and finally close the net, then he might as well take the opportunity to leave for a few days first, and take advantage of this time to take Dodora to the Wildfire Plains Zaku Turen tribe to find the magic kiss taro, and do this most important thing first. After that, it's almost time to close the net.

Wildfire Town is not far from Denzel City, if you are fast horses, you will arrive in one day, a few people go out early in the morning, the road does not stop, sleep in the wilderness at night, the next day, at noon, you can see the city wall outside the town of Wildfire Town in the distance.

Seeing Wildfire Town again, and seeing the mottled city wall, which was built with wall bricks made of red clay unique to Wildfire Town, Char's heart was hot when he saw it.

But it was Totara next to him who sighed - the poor magician, his tragic fate, to be detailed, happened to be in this place, from the beginning of his encounter with Char...... After the last war, the Byzantine army retreated, and Wildfire Town became a state of no zhèngfǔ again, and because the war had just ended, there was no mercenary gang to occupy here, so during this time, there was no city lord in Wildfire Town, Char and his party came here, and saw that there were no soldiers under the city gate who collected the gate tax, Char smiled, remembering that when he started from here, the last copper plate he carried had paid the city gate tax, and he was penniless...... Fortunately, I met this guy Tatara, who was robbed of his robe and sold it for some money...... Coming to the gate of Wildfire Town, it is obvious that after the Great War, the prosperous climate here has returned to rì, and many passing caravans and some people who look like mercenaries and warriors wearing weapons under the gate enter and exit, but it is orderly.

Char and the others slowed down and were preparing to follow the flow of people into the city...... Suddenly, a voice like thunder sounded next to him!

The voice seemed to be infinitely excited, infinitely excited, and a green figure suddenly burst out from the side of the road like a leopard, jumped in front of Charma, hugged the horse's head, and a big green and bare head shook, and the burly and sturdy body almost knocked Char off the horse.

"Oak Oak!!you!you!I've finally waited for you!!wife!wife!I want a wife!return my wife!!"
