Char's order was also very clear, so that the young and single Chinese characters in the whole army were all shining with their eyes.

However, Char paid attention again, "After all, his army is still outside", if the army is distracted now, I am afraid that there will be trouble. He simply gave another order, let these girls line up in a separate battalion, send people to guard outside, and no one was allowed to harass!

If you want to pursue a woman, go home and talk about it! Now that the army is stationed abroad, no one is allowed to make a mistake! Otherwise, military law will be involved.

But in this way, a strange phenomenon has come out of the army: the task of guarding outside the women's battalion in shifts has become a sought-after job, and the soldiers are all sharpened heads and take the initiative to ask to serve as the guard of the women's battalion. I heard that several battalions are secretly competing with each other for this. Now in the army, there are only 3,000 horsemen.

The original coalition with the Besta Military Region has already existed in name only. After the governor's wife entered the imperial capital, the 7,000 horsemen on the Besta side had already separated from Char's army.

Char waited here for a few more days, and finally waited for a visit from the city.

The Imperial Council of Nobles has completed the formalities for Char's knighthood. After reviewing the merits, deeds, reputations, and origins of His Excellency Char Leiming, the Noble Council officially recognized His Excellency Char Leiming as the Duke of the Empire.

The legal documents of the duke's title, the decrees, and the signatures of the noble council were all delivered to Char.

From then on, Char had rightfully become a duke of the empire! fiefdom of Nods, proclaiming himself "Grand Duke of Nods" to the outside world

Of course, there are many complicated details about the rewards of the nobles. For example, Char must submit the family profile of his duke's family, the genealogy of the family, and so on......

This is not a simple matter, the family micro of an aristocratic family, but you can use it by casually drawing a symbol! The family micro of the aristocracy, naturally there is a pattern and rules, what identity can be used with what pattern, are all exquisite, not surpassed! For example, if there is a crown pattern on the family micro, unless it is related to the royal family and has the blood of the royal branch, it can be used, and others are absolutely not allowed. There is also a pattern of swords and scepters, "Unless it is in the family genealogy, the ancestors have held a certain level of military rank and high office, they can be eligible to use it." Another example is the pattern of some flowers and plants, some of which are expressly stipulated that they can only be used unless they have been made by their ancestors to a certain level of meritorious service.

These things have their own set of traditions. This is also known as heraldryism.

Where did Char know anything about heraldry?

The last time he was made an imperial baron a year ago, there was already a fat man who had hired some scholars from the imperial capital to make a set of these things. But now that he has changed from a baron to a duke, the previous clan is now a little too simple to use.

But fortunately, the whole empire is now trying to convince the young duke.

Anyway, the formalities for the title have already been completed, as for when you, Lord Char, are free, do a series of things such as clan micro, send someone to the imperial capital noble council, and just make up the formalities for the record.

After waiting for two more days, the military department also issued an official document, Char's appointment of "General of the Northern Garrison" has completed the formalities of reporting by the military department, and the military department has issued a letter to the whole army and the whole country, to Char's surprise, in addition to the position of "general of the Northern Garrison", the official document issued by the military department also added a title to Char.

Chief of Staff of the Military Department.

This post has always been subordinate to the general staff of the military department, and the post of the staff commissioner is much higher than that of ordinary staff officers, and the post of the commissioner, in terms of the rank of the military department, is second only to the general chief and minister level (the minister of military affairs and vice ministers are regarded as the general director level, and the heads of various departments of the military department are regarded as the minister level), and the commissioner level can be regarded as an important member of the military department.

This can be regarded as adding a vacant position to Char's central military department of the empire.

In addition to the local leading general, there is one more direct position in the military department, which is probably what Adric means.

The rewards for the official position and title have been completed, so according to the usual practice, Char can write to the military department and lead the troops back to his own jurisdiction.

Char was ready, personally led people to re-enter the imperial capital, went to the military headquarters, handed over his military documents for his order to return to the north, and also met with General Adric again.

Adric was busy with military affairs and the imperial capital was restored, and he supported a huge military headquarters in his hands, on the one hand, to reorganize the army and strengthen the control of the Osgillia region, and on the other hand, to intensify the mobilization of local garrison troops from the south, mobilize materials, and prepare for a major counteroffensive against the rebels.

A mountain of things is waiting for him to deal with. Adrick was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat or sleep.

But even so, he met Char in his office.

For Char's request to ask for a return, Adric pondered for a moment and then directly vetoed it.

"Wait a few more days. ”

In the face of Adric's words, Char was a little embarrassed.

It's been quite a few days since I led the troops out. Speaking of which, bringing troops to the imperial capital King Qin was originally a rush for time, and before he set off, he swallowed Siltan County, and there were still a lot of military affairs at home that had not been dealt with. Although the county of Siltan and Corsica were occupied, there was still a lot to be done to overcome such a huge victory.

Char naturally wanted to go back to the north immediately.

"I know you're anxious. Adric looked at Fuya and said in a serious tone: "But now you are more needed here! The Landis have already said that they will withdraw their troops from Osgilia in batches! But their article is that if you stay here in batches, it will be a deterrent to them! If you leave, their withdrawal plan from the imperial capital will be delayed. ”

Char frowned and said, "Although I claim to be 10,000 cavalry, in fact, only 3,000 cavalry are mine, and the Besta people account for 7,000 cavalry. Although I am gone, the Bestas are still here" their seven thousand cavalry is enough. ”

Adric shook his head and stared at Fuya: "That's why you can't leave now! Externally, although the Besta have seven thousand horsemen, you only have three thousand...... But for the Landis, the name of your Char Thunder is the real deterrent! The Besta people are not looked at by the Landis! After all, you Char Thundering is the one who defeated the Odin Red Snow Army! Not to mention that you still have 3,000 iron horsemen, even if you only have 300 horsemen, if you stay here, the Landis people will not dare to move lightly. ”

Char smiled bitterly, touched himself and let out a sigh!"Damn, Lao Tzu's name is still so useful?"

"What do you say?", Adric sneered: "The prestige of a famous general is piled up with countless lives and blood! Your Char's name is placed here, it represents deterrence! It represents a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood! How can the Landis people not be intimidated by it?

Char nodded, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. Baidu Dawn Decadent Update, but Adric's tone immediately changed: ""This is the reason for the external situation! There is even a layer of reason internally! The Besta people are the new army after all! If you leave, leave them in the imperial capital, I am afraid that the above may not dare to rest assured! Hmph, the above intends to use the Besta people to restrain you" But they may not really dare to reassure them! After all, they were still a member of the rebel army before! If you leave, the 7,000 cavalry of the Besta people are here, in case something goes wrong...... You're here, and you're a deterrent to the Besta people. ”

Char's eyes lit up: "Above...... Don't worry about the Besta people either?"

Adric snorted, but looked at Char deeply: "Did you tell the prime minister to beware of the Besta people?"

Well?

Char was stunned.

He had said this to the Prime Minister, and it was the Viceroy's wife of Besta who had begged him.

"Yes, I said that. Fuya nodded.

Adric frowned, looked at Char, and then stood up, walked to the door, closed the door, turned to stare at Char, and said in a deep voice, "Why did you say such a thing to the prime minister?"

"......", Char hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "It's not unreasonable, after all, the Besta people are newly surrendered, if you don't guard against them at all......"

Adric smiled slightly: ""That's what you really think?"

Char smiled bitterly: "Okay, General Mingcha...... Isn't that jealous of me? This time, the reuse of the Besta people, judging from the reward, is clearly to divide the relationship between me and the Besta people, so I might as well go for them. Didn't they just want me to get into trouble with the Bestas? I deliberately spoke ill of the Bestas behind my back, "Let them rest assured." ”

"How's your relationship with the Besta going?" asked Adric.

Fu Yaluo hesitated, but finally did not hide it: "The relationship is good, there is cooperation." ”

Adrik smiled, looked at Char, and his smile was a little strange: "It seems that you and that governor's wife have a tacit understanding! You told the prime minister to guard against the Besta people, and that the governor's wife, it is said that when she met the prime minister, she also said that the empire's top priority now is to limit the breeding of new warlords! hehe...... Restricting the new warlords! Looking at it, who else can be worthy of the title of new warlord, except for you, Char? You both have a tacit understanding that you are both speaking ill of each other behind your backs, right?"

Char laughed dryly, didn't speak, and simply made a default.

Adric waved his hand: "I don't care about these little tricks of yours." But it's also good to reassure you. As long as you really don't have any thoughts in your heart that you shouldn't have!"

Char sighed in his heart: At this time, Adric still didn't forget to beat himself.

"One more thing. Adric looked a little displeased: "I heard that you took in a lot of women a few days ago?"

Char's face turned white.

This matter, others asked Char to ignore it, even if it was rumored outside how lustful he was, Char only regarded it as someone else's fart.

However, Adric asked about it, but it was a little difficult to do!

Anyway, he went to someone to ask for a kiss, and Adric is his future father-in-law from the top of his name.

He took in hundreds of "maids" in the city, and the news spread that he had found so many women before he married someone's daughter...... Speaking of which, Adric is only afraid that he will be very unhappy in his heart.

Char hurriedly explained carefully.

After listening to this, Adric's expression was slightly gentle, and he nodded: "I know that you shouldn't be that kind of guy." Well, the war in the north has just ended, tens of thousands of troops under your command are stationed in places, the ratio of men and women is out of balance, you take the opportunity to get some women back, it's just a little trick, I don't care about you, it's just ......"

Char's heart moved, and he hurriedly told him about the incident he had met with Via before. Speaking of the end, he smiled bitterly: "My lord, Miss Via has a lot of prejudices against me, I think ......", the implication is that there is a taste of shirk.

Adric snorted: "I don't care about you young people. Since you have asked for a kiss, how to settle my daughter is your problem.

Hmph, do you want me to teach you to do it when a man pursues a woman? ”

After a pause, probably the old man also knew that his daughter was really a little "alternative", and his tone softened a little, and he said in a low voice: "The relationship between Via and me, when it comes to talking...... Alas, I never had time to discipline her, and she was really special. For my sake, bear with her more. Since I have promised her to you, I will always rely on you to take good care of her for the rest of my life. ”

Char thought to herself: Take care of Via for the rest of her life, I'm afraid that as soon as she sees me, she will stab me with a knife in front of me......

Even if he led the army to charge towards the Odin, Char would not frown. But to say that facing that Miss Via, it's really a headache.

"Well, that's it. Don't think about going back just yet, wait a few more days outside the city, huh...... The rewards and appointments on the Besta side have also come down, and when they ask for the order to return, you will leave with them, and the above will not be reassured. Delay for a few more days, "I can also put pressure on the Landis, urging them to withdraw their troops quickly." Adric gave the order directly, and then as if he had thought of something, he glanced at Char: "You sent someone to send two hundred horses a few days ago, and you did a good job." I thank you on behalf of the military department! But my subordinates are too tight to pay you now. ”

Char immediately patted his chest and said, "I don't need money, just treat it as if I honor your old man......"

Adric laughed and glanced at Char: "In that case, you might as well be more filial, Ming'er, you can send someone to send two hundred horses." ”

Char's face suddenly became bitter.

Send another 200 horses? That's 400 horses before and after! These are all first-class war horses! 400 war horses are enough to arm a cavalry battalion!

"What a frown. Adric smiled: "I know you're distressed. But now the situation in the imperial capital is tense, you are in the north of Mooreshire, which war horse is much more convenient than mine...... Hmph, you have a border trade channel, do you still care about this cost in the future?"

Char was helpless and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll send someone tomorrow...... But my lord, these are the last two hundred, and if you ask for them again, I won't have them. If I have thousands of horsemen, if I have no horses, I must not ask my men to run back to the north. I also brought so many goods......"

"Goods, hmph, loot captured from the rebels!" Adric smiled.

Char hurriedly shouted: "Those things, don't think about any ideas! My soldiers are fighting hard to kill the captured things, if you want me to hand them over, I am afraid that the people below will not accept them, and besides, there are tens of thousands of people under me, people eat horses and chew horses, and they use a huge amount, I am still waiting to bring this thing back to raise soldiers." ”

"Hmph, I didn't say I had the idea of beating your loot. Adric shook his head: "These days, in addition to accepting a lot of women, those nobles have given you a lot of gifts, right? ”

Char smiled and didn't elaborate.

In fact, not to mention tens of thousands of gold coins, he roughly calculated that the gifts and goods he sent were only worth more than 100,000 gold coins! This is not counting the value of those maids who sent them!

Adric's face was a little ugly: "At this moment, the war is not over yet, the military is preparing to organize a counteroffensive with the whole army, and the emperor is nervous! I have already expressed my majesty, I want those nobles to donate some military expenses, and those guys are all complaining one by one, with one reason on the left and one excuse on the right, but they are unwilling to contribute to the country! These short-sighted guys! Don't they understand that if they can't complete the counteroffensive and wipe out the rebels one day, the crisis of the empire will not be eliminated for a day! No matter how much money they have in their hands, once they have "...... in the future" Hmph, I'm afraid I won't have my life to spend it."

It seems that Adric has a real headache for military responsibilities these days, and he has also eaten a lot of suffocation from the nobles of the empire, and a lot of anger has accumulated in his heart.

But Char was speechless.

He gave Adrick hundreds of horses, which was already his affection for Adric. If he were to donate military spending, it would never be possible.

He himself has to raise tens of thousands of soldiers!

But......

Char rolled his eyes and said, "My lord, I have a way to deal with military expenses." ”

Adric's eyes lit up: "Oh?

Char said lightly: "I am in the north, in the war-torn land of Moer County, and there is naturally a shortage of materials, and I only rely on local finances, let alone tens of thousands of soldiers, I am afraid that if I can feed a few thousand soldiers, I will reach the sky! At the beginning, I was suffering from the shortage of military expenses and materials, so I simply implemented it in the local area...... Military management"

"Military Commander?" Adric's face changed.

"All the materials are concentrated and rationed!" Fu Ya said lightly: "It doesn't matter if it's a rich businessman or a big family. At that time, "there is really no way, if there is no money, once the city is broken, everyone is doomed!" At such a time, the heart is soft-hearted, but I am afraid that there is no way to live. In the northern counties of Moore, in the cities of Denzel and Mesta, military administration and rationing were introduced, and all the grain was handed over, no one was exempt, no matter what status, whether it was the local nobles, merchants, or commoners, all the grain had to be handed over, and then the army made a register, and after the records were made, the necessary rations were distributed daily according to the head! As for military expenses, the same is true. In times of war, we must first ensure that we are alive! Only when we are alive can we be meaningful."

"Isn't this a robbery?" said Adric, shaking his head.

Speaking of which, the main targets of the attack are still those rich people who have money! Hmph, the army can't get enough to eat" The common people can't eat enough, but those rich people still have grain in their granaries and gold sects hidden in their warehouses...... How can I protect such people? For whom are my soldiers fighting desperately against the Odin? But these feasters refuse to pay for their military expenses or contribute food, so I don't have to be polite to them. ”

Adric looked different, bowed his head and frowned silently.

Char said lightly: "Of course, the situation in the north and the imperial capital is different, Moore County is just rich businessmen in some places, but the imperial capital is full of wealthy families, and it is impossible to use the same means to forcibly confiscate their property." But ......"

Char lowered his voice and said, "The imperial capital was breached by the rebels before, and I heard that there were some noble families at that time, and it seems that there was collusion with the rebels...... Adults may wish to make a fuss about this. ”

Adric's eyes lit up! He has fought all his life, but he is not a soft-hearted person, and he glanced at Char: "What do you ......mean?"

"It's really pointless to really investigate, when they are embarrassed, everyone is looking for a way out for themselves, in fact, you can't really blame them. But...... People always have to pay for what they have done. It's not so good to surrender when the enemy comes, and then hug your thigh after the enemy is gone. It's better to let out a little rumor, and say that they will prepare to investigate the internal collusion with the rebels, and then ask those nobles to donate military funds externally...... Do two things at the same time, those nobles, and they are not fools, I guarantee that if you do this, someone will definitely take the lead in donating military expenses. ”

Speaking of this, Char frowned and said, "But there is a difficulty in this matter...... These aristocratic and wealthy families are all deep-rooted, and they have been seized for a short time and have to pay money, but after the matter has passed, they are only afraid of being hated by them...... So, don't do it, just find someone to come out. If you want me to see it, you might as well do this thing that calls on everyone to donate military spending! As for the rumors about investigating the internal collusion with the rebels, you might as well leave this matter to the prime minister to deal with! Hehe......

Char smiled a little weirdly.

Hmph, the prime minister, first made a fuss in his own fiefdom, sealed the territory occupied by Hastings to himself, and made it clear that he was Yin Laozi! Then he deliberately stirred up and let himself marry Adric's daughter (speaking of which, he had to take the initiative to ask for marriage later, and he was also forced by the prime minister's means!), that old man, he quietly put two sets on himself, how could Lao Tzu repay him!

Let Adric do the matter of collecting money, and as for ordering the investigation and judgment of the party to offend those nobles, the prime minister should bother more...... , Adric glanced at Char, hesitated, and sighed: "Okay, extraordinary times do extraordinary things, I will consider your suggestion." ”
