Law of the Devil

Chapter 237 [Win-Win]

Du Wei’s message to the “Northern Army” was set out under the guise of the heart. Under the heart, the people who were really rumored to be true and false, did not know how much the situation was true.

Although the tutors of the tulip family have a lot of remarks in their hearts, Du Wei has become more and more powerful, and he is extremely respected in everyone's mind.

Du Wei spent two days preparing a thick gift. The big banner that made the Alpha craftsman come out is even more powerful. Du Wei made a long flagpole, which was as high as seven or eight meters. It was tied to a carriage and was dragged by four horses.

I didn’t have to go too much with it. I took the guard of 200 people and went to the Northwest Army.

Someone wondered if the guards of the two hundred people were too few. Du Wei smiled and said: "I went to the old man's nest anyway. There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the old nest. If I bring two thousand people, is it really enough? If the other party really wants to kill In my case, I will be the same with 20,000 people."

Such a way to the east of the Nurin line, the Du Wei on the road, regardless of day and night, people put the banner on the flagpole, crossing the village to cross the town, are swaying.

Especially after entering the province of Nurin, Du Wei deliberately slowed down the pace of progress. He thought in his mind that he had already rushed over the road, and the Northwest Army must have received news. Just wait to see what the other side is reacting.

This way through the Nurin province, although the Governor of Bohan did not show up, but also ordered the place where Du Wei went to the garrison to send cavalry all the way to protect.

After the end of the war in Giliate, Du Wei’s aide, Philip, had arrived in Giliate and brought a letter. It was written by the Governor of Bohan. Only Du Wei was not in the capital at the time and did not receive this letter. The Governor of Bohan first ordered the army to be sent to Du Wei’s territory.

There is nothing else in this letter. Bohan is a smart person, and he knows that Du Wei is also a smart person. Smart people talk to smart people and don't need to bend too much. The content of the letter is a sentence:

"State is the most important thing!"

Bohan believes that even if he does not explain much, Du Wei sees this sentence and also understands that he sent troops to transit the heart.

When Du Wei saw the letter on the same day, she could not help but sigh.

"Adult, go through the small town in front of you. It is the sphere of influence of the Northwest Army." Philip sat next to Du Wei, looking out the window, smiling: "Say, I am also really It was helpless to Governor Tibohan. Although he was a governor, he only controlled half of the territory of the province of Nurin. He was still in the power of the army of the Northwest Army, and the days were really sad."

"Oh?" Du Wei smiled.

Philip pointed out the window and sighed: "Duke of the Duke. You look outside... To be honest, I am more and more research on the terrain in the northwest. I feel more and more envious of this Governor of Bohn! From the geographical point of view, the province of Nurin Absolutely better than our Desa. At least it doesn't have to face the threat of the prairie people directly. We are at the forefront and their days are much better. From the land, the province of Nurin is far more barren than the poor. Desa is much better. The population is almost double that of the province of Desa. Of course, the land is not land, money or food, and you will not worry about the financial resources of the Duke. Even if the income of the territory is less, You are not worried about money and food. But... we are currently the biggest limitation, but it is still a force problem!"

Philip said, looking at Du Wei's expression, seeing that Du Wei did not express dissatisfaction with himself, this is safely said: "Adult, we are now full of strength, but 20,000 people. I know You may be dissatisfied with General Lombard’s elite strategy... but you also think about it. We have a total population of people in the territory. Even if we open the conscription, how much can we collect? Even if every household contributes to the youth... Mo It is impossible to say that, even if it can be done... In fact, there are not many people! According to the calculations of my brothers and my brothers, we can call up to 50,000 troops in the population base of Desa. Left and right, it seems to have reached the limit! Our total population is only over 800,000. After deducting women and children, the young men are only 300,000. 300,000 young men, we have to take one of the five. It’s a very heavy proportion! If you are heavy, I’m afraid it will cause the following people’s heart. It’s really necessary for all the people to be soldiers, unless it’s at the crucial moment when the family breaks down. Otherwise it’s absolutely not I can do. "

Du Wei nodded. Why didn’t he know this fact?

With the base of his own territory, it is easy to get a 200,000 troops from the Northwest Army.

"More importantly, we still face one of the biggest problems." Philip said with a wry smile: "Even if we want to recruit, we can't recruit the Northwest Army. Adults, have you forgotten the wartime order?"

The northwestern army is located in the northwestern provinces. Although there are 200,000 troops, people always have to die and die. The iron-clad battalion is full of veterans, and new recruits are enlisted.

The source of the military in the northwest is also from the northwest!

According to the regulations, every two years, the Northwest Army can recruit in the Desa and Nurin provinces, supplementing the army of the Legion. The most troublesome thing is that the empire has orders, local governments and lords, and can not compete with the Northwest Army for the source of troops! If a young man has a young man, then if the local garrison and the Northwest Army’s conscription order are issued at the same time, the Northwest Army will be given priority!

In this way, it was originally a sparsely populated country. It was not a simple matter to even compete with the Northwest Army for the expansion of the army.

"So I envy the Governor of Bohan." Philip said with a smile: "Nurin Province has a low eyelid in the Northwest Army, but the biggest advantage is that the population of Nurin Province is twice as large as ours! Possible potential The population of the military source is naturally much more than us! If we are in the province of Nurin, then according to my estimation, it is enough to pull up 100,000 troops. Even if the Northwest Army competes with us for the source of the army, the population base of Nurin is large. Some of them are not very influential. What I am worried about now is... adults, last year was not the year of conscription. The Northwest Army did not find us in this regard, but this year is the idea of ​​conscription. In the autumn, the Northwest Army It’s time to start sending people to collect new recruits everywhere. At that time...and we have a headache."

"I also understand that you can say that the population can not increase the land. It is not a matter of increasing the number of parents. It takes more than ten or twenty years for parents to leave their children and grow up. If it is conventional, there is no In the time of two or three generations, the population base of the province of Desa can't be increased. Even if we encourage fertility... But if every family has difficulty in living, even if the children can't afford it, who is willing to have more children?" Du Wei Shaking his head: "Philippe, I have come to think about it in the past. I always feel that there are many problems facing me, and the Northwest Army has clamped us everywhere... it is also difficult!"

Philip smiled: "Adult, I think, we may wish to contact the Governor of Bohan more than the relationship... Although you and he were not very happy before, but this time, the Giliate city, I think it is an opportunity. Although Governor Han is somewhat over-powered, he is also a person who is united as a country. At least in the position of dealing with the Northwest Army and the Prairie, he is the same as us. We do not lack money in our hands, but what we lack is The army and the population! At this point, the Governor of Bohan has a sufficient population... but he can't afford the army."

When he got up, he didn't lack money to make money. After all, a smart person who could create even the "auction" can not be as good as Du Wei, but he is also a stranger of Roland.

However, the Governor of Bohan is different from Du Wei. He is only a local official after all, unlike Du Wei, who is a noble lord. Therefore, he faces more difficulties!

The most difficult thing is: the garrison of the Governor of Bohan. Money and military shackles cannot be distributed by him. In accordance with the wartime forests of the imperial war, the military munitions of the local garrison in the northwest must be uniformly distributed by the Northwest Army!

In other words, the Governor of Bohan wants to spend money to raise troops, but also has to send the money to the Northwest Army, and then let the Northwest Army to dispatch! In this way, it is equal to the neck!

Do not say anything else. But look at the defenders of the Sin City of Big Ears. If you are poor and you can't open the pot, you can think of how the Northwest Army made an article on the issue of "unified distribution"! The question of Beaune is. Obviously there is money in their warehouse, but they cannot be directly sent to their own army. Waiting to be sent to the Northwest Army Camp, and then split it out... Then you can really get it to your own army. Ten percent of the 10% can get two or three percent. It is already a good way for the Northwest Army!

At this point, Du Wei is a noble lord, his army is a family private army, but not within the scope of this decree, much more free than the Governor of Bohan!

"The two sides may wish to cooperate." Philip said with a smile: "You have the power to build an army at will, and you are not restricted by the money of the Northwest Army. And the Governor of Bohan has a population! If the two are willing to cooperate, it is a good thing."

Du Wei came to the interest: "Talk about it!"

"This year's autumn conscription, we can send people to reach an agreement with the Governor of Bohan. We are sending people directly to the territory of the province to recruit troops! Anyway, the imperial decree is also allowed to cross the border conscription, as long as the local government agrees, then to the military commander of the emperor It is ok for the Ministry to file a record. At this point, with your relationship in the Imperial Capital, the military will not call us!"

"Can Bonham agree to let us recruit on his site?"

"This is the key." Philip smiled awkwardly... I have to say that even Du Wei couldn't help but feel that this young man, who was still pure, probably stayed by his side for a long time, even laughing. Looks like a bit of awesomeness... oh, sinister!

"We can exchange with him." Philip explained: "Bohan also wants more conscription! Unfortunately, he can't afford to raise it. But we can! You can negotiate with him... For example, we are recruiting on his site, The army that was recruited, if it is two battalions, one by one. If it is two divisions, it is still one by one! Only..."

Du Wei was also a wise man. He immediately understood the meaning of Philip. After waiting for him to finish, he smiled and said: "Just, it is still the name of the tulip family in name! The number is still the private army of the tulip family. In fact, half of the recruited army is still his Bohan, right?"

"Yes." Philip said faintly: "If he is not at ease, he belongs to his army anyway. He himself appoints officers and chiefs. We don't care. We can build a big border between us and the province of Nurin. The military camp, let the army station there. Except for the name of the private army that nominally hangs our tulip family... everything else listens to him. What else does he have to worry about? He can’t do it now. Expanding the army, because he is a local government, the expansion of the army to receive the restrictions of the Northwest Army, we are different!"

"Good idea!" Du Wei did not hesitate to praise: "Philipp, you are more and more awkward now."

Philip smiled: "Adult, this idea is good. But Bohan nodded. I see the Governor of Bohan, he will probably put forward some conditions. This Governor of Bunhan is a geese I have to pluck my hair, haha."

"Let him pull it out." Du Wei smiled. "If he wants to benefit, if you want money, I will give him some. Anyway, this time, Bohan lost a thousand cavalry for me, I also I owe him a favor. Say it... Money, I don't need money now."

Philip said: "That...it should not be late, adults, squatting, now we are in Nurin, you write a letter, and I will personally go to the capital of Nuolin to go."

Du Wei thought about it and shook his head: "Not good! This kind of thing, it is best not to leave any written letters, in case something goes wrong in the future, always a handle. When I come back from the Northwest Army, when I go home, I personally Go see Bohan."
