Chapter 1474 Conquering the Empire (20)

Zhou Wen gave those people a dissatisfied look, muttered to himself, and called the maids and palace maids to start working: "Really, why are your ears so good, and you just come here around lunch time, unfortunately I want to do it myself The lord is fixing a meal."

These court ladies who were treated as gifts obviously did not expect that there are so many women who are more beautiful than Gong'e beside the small warlord in this remote area.

Seeing that these women are all dressed as maids, plus Zhou Wen's heroic appearance and those murderous guards, especially the warlord who just glanced at these maids like himself, and then acted as if nothing happened. Let these palace maids who were a little proud of their status immediately become extraordinarily well-behaved.

"See my lord!" Peter led a group of his men to salute and say hello to Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu waved his hands casually to let them sit down, while looking at these subordinates.

After seeing the personnel clearly, Zhao Hu couldn't help shaking his head helplessly. It can be said that except for a few personnel who could not leave due to the importance of their jobs, all the civil and military officials with real power in this place of Zhao Hu's warlord were present.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly after sitting down, Zhao Hu couldn't help but smiled, and said, "The reward from the imperial capital was sent by the caravan of the Liberty Alliance. The caravan that left just now is it."

Realizing that the lord had seen through their mentality, Peter and the others smiled a little embarrassedly. Peter, the highest-ranking official, asked a little cautiously, "My lord, what kind of reward did the emperor give?"

"The crown prince sent a batch of cloth and utensils in his own name, oh, and ten court ladies, and wrote a letter implying that I would be loyal to him." Zhao Hu said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone despised the crown prince. He really regarded his lord as a beggar. Any general in the southeast peninsula could produce such a little thing.

"Then the military department promoted me as a major general of the Emperor, and gave me the number of the No. 20 Legion of the Emperor, and also sent a batch of military ranks, letters of appointment, military flags, seals and other things." Zhao Hu said lightly.

"Ah, doesn't this mean that we can have the strength of a legion in an open and honest manner? Aha, that's more than 40 troops!" A military officer shouted excitedly. Although his voice was loud enough, there was already a lot of discussion below It also makes him not so prominent.

"Don't daydream, this is an empty designation given by the military department. We have to rebuild the entire legion. Now we don't have a single division yet, and we still want to create a legion with five divisions?" one on the side The civil servant immediately poured cold water on it.

"Hey, we can't form a legion now, can't we also in the future? Besides, what we want is tiger skin! We really dare not ask for a live tiger." The military officer said indifferently.

"Listen to me." Zhao Hu said in a flat tone, the original noisy place was immediately silent, and they don't know how they heard Zhao Hu's words clearly from the noise.

"The cabinet gave two rewards, one is a gold ticket that can be used to withdraw gold coins at any gold bank in the Liberty Alliance, with a denomination of [-]."

After hearing Zhao Hu's words, although everyone was silent, they could tell what they thought of the cabinet's generosity by looking at the look of contempt on their faces.

"The other one is to appoint me as the military governor of Haibin and Haiquan provinces." Zhao Hu's light words stunned the people below.

People from the southeast peninsula looked confused, while those from the empire looked shocked.Peter even stammered and asked, "Overseer? Your lord, me, and your subject, did you hear me right?"

"No, here, here is the letter of appointment." Zhao Hu handed over the government order.

Peter glanced at ten lines, and immediately jumped up after scanning the paperwork: "Great! My lord, I think this appointment should be publicized to the world immediately!"

People from the southeast peninsula felt itchy to ask someone, and when they knew what the warlord represented, all the civil and military officials burst into laughter: "Haha, with such a righteous name, the great sages in the surrounding land Talented people will definitely flock to seek refuge with the lord, and the surrounding aristocratic families will also choose the lord as their backer!
"Even if we attack everywhere arrogantly, and the wars are raging and the people are dying, no one will say that the lord is militaristic! The lord can finally unify the seaside province in a legitimate way! Hey, there is also a Haiquan province. This reward is really great! It's so satisfying!"

"Hey, I didn't expect the emperor to be so generous. Not only is the governor of the coastal province, but also the governor of the Haiquan province, so it is justifiable to trouble the Haiquan province." The military officer said with a grim face.

"Hmph, don't take it lightly. The appointment of the emperor is definitely uneasy and well-intentioned. Don't forget that the nominal mastermind of Haiquan Province is the Seventh Prince, and the emperor wants to kill people with a knife." The civil servant said, rolling his eyes.

"Hey, anyway, we just want to kill each other. It doesn't matter whether we borrow a knife or not. It's okay." When these words came out, all the civil and military officials laughed.

"Okay, don't get too excited. This is just a tiger's skin. If we really want to show off our prestige, we still have to rely on our own strength."

Zhao Hu waved his hand, interrupted everyone's discussion and asked, "How is the training status of the [-] newly recruited recruits?"

The military officer in charge of recruit training immediately got up and said respectfully: "My lord, the basic training for recruits has been completed, and now we will wait for the lord to give you a number to form an army, and then go to the battlefield for actual combat training."

"How much infantry equipment is in stock?"

As soon as Zhao Hu said this, the civil servant in charge of warehouse management immediately stood up and reported: "My lord, there are [-] sets of imperial soldier uniforms, [-] sets of lieutenant uniforms, [-] sets of school officer uniforms, and [-] sets of leather armor in stock. There are more than [-] pieces of rattan armor and [-] pieces of iron armor.

"In terms of weapons, there are: 11 spears, [-] machetes, more than [-] human shields, more than [-] round shields, [-] longbows, [-] strong bows, and [-] crossbows. Zhang, [-] strong crossbows, more than [-] bowstrings, [-] bundles of iron-headed and wooden arrows, and [-] bundles of carved feather arrows..."

"How do you plan to configure the recruits' equipment?" Zhao Hu asked again.

During this period of time, in order to train the abilities of a large number of subordinates who have just entered new positions, Zhao Hu deliberately only gave a policy, and then ignored how the old retainers below commanded the new subordinates.

That's why now we have to ask about everything to know the situation. Of course, this is also to let everyone have a better understanding of the overall situation.

The military officer in charge of this work immediately got up and replied: "After discussion and inspection, the ministers and others believe that machetes are the basic equipment for all soldiers, and then the basic formation of three spears, one shield and one bow is the most appropriate.

"In addition, the ministers thought that each brigade needs a small squadron of crossbowmen, so that a regiment has a squadron of crossbowmen, plus the archer from each team will have enough long-range attack power.

"Similarly, a regiment also needs a team of strong crossbowmen, which are specially used to snipe at enemy officers. As for the protective facilities, I think that ordinary soldiers can wear rattan armor, and lieutenant officers and above can wear iron armor."

Zhao Hu nodded: "Well, that's right. Then on this basis, they will form ten regiments according to the establishment of one regiment as three combat brigades and two auxiliary brigades. Evenly selected from several infantry brigades, the corporal leader will choose from the recruits.

Then, from the existing four reorganized infantry brigades, one regiment will be transferred to become the fifth brigade, and two regiments of recruits will be placed in each brigade, so that the old can bring the new and the combat ability of the recruits can be better trained.

If we expand our troops in the future, we can also easily use the veterans of one regiment as the foundation of the brigade. In this way, as long as qualified recruits can keep up, we can easily form [-] brigades.At that time, it will be almost the same if you really want to form a legion. "

"Yes." The military officers immediately accepted the order with joy. Seeing what the lord meant, they had already begun to prepare for a legion. The job is not a dream either.

At this time, a military officer who took Lu Zhi as his appearance and character immediately jumped up and shouted: "Master, this period of rest has made the bones of the whole body of the subject loose, and it is very boring! When will the war start? The subject can't wait to be the lord immediately. Make meritorious deeds!"

"Don't worry, even if you want to send troops, you have to wait until the recruits are formed." Zhao Hu laughed.

The other military officers who were hiding below to watch the situation immediately jumped up when they heard the words: "My lord, who is our target this time? As long as the lord gives an order, I will personally draw my sword and go into battle!"

Zhao Hu didn't answer the question, but smiled and said: "Okay, you can train the soldiers with peace of mind first, and you will know when the troops are dispatched."

Now that Zhao Hu had said this, everyone could only shut their mouths with the itch in their hearts. The military officers seemed listless in the following internal affairs, and they didn't regain their spirits until the meal was served.

Coastal provinces.

The businessman named Lu Jun didn't know the benefits of accepting the crown prince, he actually spread out all his subordinates, and publicized the benefits he had brought to Zhao Hu for the emperor.

When Zhao Hujun's territory was aroused by the news spreading everywhere, Lu Jun's men even ran to other territories with bags of coins, and bought local ruffians and beggars to help spread the word.Let him do it like this, and it really spread throughout the coastal province in a few days.

However, almost everyone did not believe the news at first.If you think about it, even if you talk empty words, it is impossible to directly let a person who has just been promoted from colonel to major general command an army.
