Chapter 1411 Jinwen City (2)

"Boss, how much oil are you going to use this position to scrape off that mark? It's not good if it's cheap." The third lieutenant colonel asked.

"Appoint him as the captain of the Ximen city guard in the military administration. How about giving him [-] gold coins for this appointment, and give him another [-] spots, ten gold coins for each spot?" The eldest lieutenant colonel laughed.

"Hey, judging by his appearance, he will definitely agree without saying a word. We can also specifically tell him that the members of the city guard must be residents of the city. In this way, at least two hundred families can live."

The third lieutenant colonel clapped his hands and continued: "If the selection is based on force, maybe the personnel he selects are all family members of our army. This will be even better."

"Please, don't forget that we are going to requisition his war horses. Those dozens of war horses are worth a lot of money. It's no wonder he wants to!" the second child reminded.

"Well, that's true. Do you think it's better to give him the entire city guard, or to increase the quota?" The boss nodded.

"It's good to increase the number of places. Don't worry about entrusting all the city gates to him." The third child said.

"Well, what do you think of the quota of 300?" the boss asked, and all the officers present nodded.The entire wing headquarters is stationed in the city, and they are not afraid of such a small number of people making trouble.

"Well, how do we treat Zhao Hu?

"His war horses are nearly [-] horses, and all of them are tall horses. In addition, he has to ask him for sponsorship, and the value he pays is dozens of times more than Mark. If everyone does not get benefits, according to Zhao Hu's He may not care about his status, but if he doesn't get any benefits, how can he be angry?" The second lieutenant colonel suddenly reminded.

The boss, the lieutenant colonel, nodded: "Indeed, if you pay the price but don't get any benefits, you can't justify it. How about just handing over the remaining three gate guards to him? Each guard has 300 people, which is more than a brigade. It might work?"

"What is his status? Let him be the gatekeeper? It would be considered arrogant of him not to drive us out on the spot." The third child curled his lips and said.

"Then what should we do? Increase the quota? How much is the right amount? But no matter how much you increase, you are still a gatekeeper." The boss said distressedly.

The old colonel suddenly raised his head and said: "Don't be so distressed, since Zhao Hu is in charge of secret missions, you can simply give him the messy establishment of the city guard, picket team, security team, and taxation team. Anyway, it is necessary to perform secret missions. These departments help."

After finishing speaking, the old colonel closed his eyes again and remained silent, and all the officers immediately nodded in agreement.

"But except for the city guard, the other departments are not under military control. Will it cause trouble for him? And the combined quota of these establishments exceeds one regiment." The second child said hesitantly.

The boss slapped his thigh: "Give it to him. Anyway, all the places in this organization are occupied by our wing. After giving it to him, he will recruit new people. Not only can it increase the income of the people, but it can also liberate the energy of our army. As for the number of people , simply do not limit."

"What? Isn't it? Will there be an accident if there is no limit on the number of places?" The second child asked nervously.

The boss waved his hand: "You think we are the capital of the empire. According to his status, what if we give him 1 people? Can he still use it to rebel?"

"That's right, anyway, that guy has a noble status, so this small problem is not a problem at all. Besides, we don't have a county governor here, and all the civil officials in the county have run away. If it weren't for our alliance to maintain order and maintain order, this Jinwen City It has long been out of shape. But we still have to hold the power of taxation in our hands." The third child said.

"Everyone, don't be so optimistic, maybe Zhao Hu doesn't like our conditions at all." The second child reminded.

"It's also very possible. Second child, then this task will be entrusted to you. It depends on how much you can get him to sponsor you." The boss laughed.

After the second child, who patted his chest and promised to complete the task, left, the eldest sighed suddenly and said, "It would be great if the county government below could support us."

The third child curled his lips and said: "Boss, although the law and order in the counties and towns below is under the jurisdiction of our alliance in name and legal theory, but who told us that the law and order environment in Jin County is ridiculously good? Mountain rush! Our Jinwen City was originally located in the central area of ​​Jinwen County, but now, with the encroachment of bandits, it is already on the edge!

"Don't talk about him in the mountain cities in the front that are occupied by bandits. Because of their good geographical location, bandits can't threaten those county towns in the back, and they all belong to territories that can be confiscated. Although they have no masters, they are all controlled by the clan. We There is no county governor who can issue an executive order.

"In this way, who would care about the request of our alliance, which nominally governs the entire county, but can only govern one city. So, don't dream, it's better to be self-reliant!"

The boss also sighed: "Yes, people who don't know the details can't even imagine that the county towns to the west of our Jinwen County are still the territory of the empire on the map, but in fact they have long since ceased to belong to us. Those Shanyue people have long since I don't know how many generations have been bred there!
"It's just the people living scattered in the mountains and forests near Jinwen City. How many of them are citizens of the empire? More than [-]% are Shanyue people! I don't know what the empire thinks. It reported these things more than ten years ago. Why? There has been no sound so far."

Hearing the words of the eldest lieutenant colonel, the officers fell silent, and the old colonel also opened his eyes, quietly looking at the teacup in his hand.

They all knew very well in their hearts that if this Jinwen city was breached, it would mean that the empire had completely lost this Jinwen county.

In fact, the bandit siege incident has only happened once in the past ten years.

There is no need to worry about the safety of the city, but the bandit attacks outside the city happened every three days.With the rampant bandits, the scattered people had to move to the city.

It can be said that the people in the city were trapped here by bandits, because without a squadron or more of soldiers guarding them, they would not be able to leave the county basin.

If it wasn't for the leader of the regiment, if they weren't born and bred here, facing the situation where the higher ups almost abandoned the county, they would have run away like those civil servants.

It was always rumored that the captain of the alliance drove the county governor away. In fact, the county governor knew about the situation and was unwilling to bear the charge of losing land, so he went out and transferred away.I don't know what's going on, but there are no new civil servants taking office anymore. If it weren't for the military expenses sent every year, I'm afraid I really thought I was abandoned by the empire.

It is really hard for people like myself to rely on meager taxes and the regiment's military expenditure of less than [-]% of the regular army to guard this city for more than ten years.

Not to mention what the officers of the Fifth Regiment were thinking, the second lieutenant colonel excitedly ran to the former county governor's mansion while it was still dark.

Although the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion has not been repaired, it is still so dilapidated, but there are guards standing on both sides of the gate.Looking at the outfits of the two guards, the second lieutenant colonel knew that Zhao Hu and Mark sent one each.

"Well, soldier, I want to see Major Mark." The second lieutenant colonel said to the ordinary-dressed guard with a serious face.

"Yes, sir, please follow me." The soldier was very dissatisfied with the tone of the lieutenant colonel in front of him, but who told me that my lord was a major and the other party was a lieutenant colonel, and those who can follow Mark out always have some knowledge , so although he was annoyed in his heart, he had a respectful look on his face.

"Ah, I welcome you, sir. I'm really sorry, I'm rude, I'm rude, please take a seat." Although Mark didn't understand why the lieutenant colonel came here to find him when it was getting dark.But still a warm welcome.

"Sir, if you have an order, just send someone to shout it. Why come in person?" Mark said politely while serving tea himself.

The second lieutenant colonel waved his hand: "Don't be too polite, I have something to say to you on behalf of all the officers of the Fifth Regiment."

"Ah, yes, please order." Mark hurriedly asked all his men to retreat.Now he was in a daze, unable to figure out what was going on.

Seeing Mark's cautious look, the second lieutenant colonel changed his mind, and said straight to the point: "In order to lure bandits down the mountain, the regiment hopes to requisition your horse."

Mark immediately jumped up when he heard it. These war horses were hard-earned by himself, and they actually want to be requisitioned?Is there any reason for this!

However, before Mark could protest, he was stopped by the second lieutenant colonel: "Our regiment will not treat you badly. The captain of the Xicheng City Guard will receive [-] gold coins. The number of members will be [-]. A gold coin, what do you want?"

"Uh." Mark's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect the lieutenant colonel to be so blatantly selling military power when he opened his mouth.

"You may think that this money is enough for you to move to other troops, but let me remind you that this team member is recruited and trained by you, as long as the team member is from the city. The matter of the guards, but if there is a war, you need to obey the order, and the merits of the city guards will be counted on you.

"As for the war horse, it's useless in this mountainous area, and you'll be rewarded for your service." After the second lieutenant colonel finished speaking, he crossed his legs and drank tea leisurely.

Mark's mind was spinning rapidly, what's going on?Didn't you say that the captain of the alliance is very old-fashioned?How could it be possible to sell the establishment of the city guard for money?
If the old man was so shrewd, he would have become a fucking general long ago, so why does he need to be a colonel in the local army for so long?

But if it wasn't for the old man's instruction, it would be impossible for the lieutenant colonel to have the power to appoint the chief officer of the city guard.

Ah, don't think about it, or think about whether you are worth getting this position.
