Sure enough, Char listened to Philip's words, just laughed a few times, the strange eyes swirled on Philip's face, and then raised the horsewhip and sneered: "You guy rarely come to listen to my ideas, I'm not confused, learn from those governors, Lao Tzu is just an armament chief now, but the government affairs are not in his hands, where do you have the capital to be a warlord" After speaking, he ignored Philip's strange expression, raised his horsewhip, and galloped down.
Sharpa glanced at Philip unhappily and snorted: "You are talking nonsense, annoying Char, talk nonsense in the future, be careful that Lao Tzu dismantles your bones." ” Todora also glanced at Philip, didn't say a word, and chased after him.
Philip was last, with a cautious face and a cold smile in his heart.
Hmph, these two guys, one is a reckless man, the other is a philistine and a clever person, neither of them has any real knowledge, this Char has no talent under him, as long as I can try my best to gain his trust, I don't have to worry about no way out.
The three of them continued to hurry, but Char never mentioned anything about the peasant and soldier system, and met villages and towns on the way, and he was not interested in inspecting before, but hurriedly asked for a few horses, and hurried non-stop along the way.
What made Char a little curious was that he ran to the end, occasionally stopping to look at the back, but he didn't find the macho eldest sister who was following all the way, which made Char breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was a little surprised: Is it best for her to retreat in the face of difficulties The four of them went to Mesta, the capital city of Moore County, Mesta, which is the most populous city among the four cities and six towns under the jurisdiction of Moore County, with a permanent population of more than 30,000, plus the flow of business groups and the original scattered people who are looking for a livelihood in the capital city of this small border county, the population of this city is maintained at about 50,000 all year round, and geographically speaking, Mesta City is a little farther away from the border, and it is also the best in Moore County in terms of security.
Three sides are flat plains, the land is fertile, it is the center of the rich grain production area, so every year there are grain merchants from all over the mainland to buy grain here and sell it, which stimulates the vitality of the city, the grain trade has driven other industries around it, especially the transportation industry is the most developed, the most in the city is the carriage and horse trade, and the carriage and horse shop has driven the trade of horse market and livestock, and at the same time, the timber industry needed to make the carriage has gradually prospered, and the craftsmen in the surrounding area have gradually gathered in the city.
The current county keeper of Moore, Clinthia, is forty-six years old this year, a standard imperial mid-level bureaucrat, and has no noble title, only a knighthood, and this title at the bottom of the aristocratic class has no fief, just a glorious title. , Char had read this person's information before he came, this Corinthian county guard, who had been in Moore County for seven years and had not moved his butt, had seen the evaluation of him on the information before: cautious and steady, and his ability was to the point.
At the same time, this man was a staunch official loyal to the royal family.
In this kind of small border county for seven years, and during the war with the Odin, no matter what, the imperial army assembled on the border, collected grain and grass nearby, and ensured the supply of military supplies without any mistakes, no matter what, the ability of this county guard is also worthy of affirmation, and after the war with the Odin, the various final judgments of this war have been decided, the reward should be rewarded, and the spanking and spanking should be done, but the official who worked hard to supply food in the war did not have any benefits.
I'm afraid this county keeper is not hard in the background.
Otherwise, being an official in this kind of small border county, so close to the border, and every time there is a big war, Moore County is the first to bear the brunt, and he has to supply the food of the army, and he has to be a trembling man Every time there is a big war, Moore County is a front-line war zone, and the military headquarters of the war zone are located here.
Therefore, the official position of the county warden of Mor County is really not a beautiful thing in the eyes of the imperial bureaucracy, and it can be said that he has suffered and has not won face.
I haven't been able to move my ass for seven years, which is why Lord Clinthia, if nothing else, I'm afraid that she will die of old age in this official position.
When Char came to Mesta, he did not see the Clinthia county guard, and only saw a few county civil officials in the county guard's mansion.
This made Char feel a little more good in his heart for this county guard he had never met, no matter what, a person who was a local governor could attach so much importance to farming, and he could not stay in the bustling city to enjoy happiness, but went to the countryside to inspect farming, which can be regarded as a dutiful person.
Of course, Char wouldn't think that this county guard was deliberately losing his face, he ran all the way, and the other party didn't know when he would arrive, counting the normal time, he should arrive in a month.
Therefore, Char's arrival surprised all the officials in the county office: Could it be that this military chief was in such a hurry to come and that something big was going to happen Mesta is the capital of Mor County and the center of government affairs in the county, but Char is not blessed to stay in this prosperous and stable city.
He had to get Denzel to take office.
Historically, the local power structure of the empire has been a separation of military power and political power.
In Moore, Lord Clincia is in charge, and Char is in charge.
Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in the empire: the military administration is generally not in the same place as the government capital.
This is not a legal provision, but it is an unspoken rule.
Originally, the garrison of Mor County was located in Denzel City, which was temporarily moved there to cope with the great war of the Odins, and this time, Char coincidentally granted Char the position of Commander-in-Chief of Armament of Mor County, and also served as a garrison consul of Denzel City.
In other words, although in Mor County, government affairs must be ordered by the county warden of Krinthia, but in the small town of Denzel City, Char is in charge of military affairs and government affairs.
Moreover, the above order also has a clear meaning, implying that Char will set up the county garrison in Denzel City.
The military chief of a county is also the administrative officer of the county garrison, which is also an imperial practice, and according to this convention, as long as Char goes to Denzel City to take office, the county guard generally does not care about the affairs of Denzel City, as long as Char does not pull the flag to rebel, or don't do anything angry and resentful, generally speaking, the county guard turns a blind eye to him, as long as the taxes of the last season are paid, even if you play hide and seek in Denzel City behind closed doors, Clinthia will not interfere.
The management of this officialdom, Char didn't understand it very well, but it was Philip who explained it to Char along the way, and the more Char listened, the more he frowned, and finally couldn't help but look at Philip twice, thinking: This guy really has some insight, the people around me now are rough people who fight, this Philip was the leader of the samurai regiment, and he was not bad in the past, I think there are some means and scheming, such a person, but it happens to be what I lack at present, but this guy used to be a bad person, but I can't trust him too much, You have to guard against him After asking, Char knew how many soldiers he had under the commander of the county's armaments.
According to the imperial system, the full strength of a county is a mixed flag regiment of a local garrison, and Char, as the commander of the armament, is also the flag officer of the people's flag regiment.
The full strength of the flag regiment of the local garrison army should be 3,000 people, and the so-called mixed formation is the mixed formation of infantry and cavalry, unlike the strict division of arms like the central standing corps.
On paper, the strength was distributed like this: six battalions of soldiers, each with 350 men.
A total of 2,100 people's combat strength, and in addition, there are transportation and logistics auxiliaries and others in the flag regiment, a total of 900 people, including a transport battalion and an auxiliary battalion.
The transport battalion is responsible for logistics and transportation, and the auxiliary soldiers are equivalent to miscellaneous soldiers, such as building fortifications, building camps, repairing city walls, etc., which are considered to be the category of engineers.
Of course, this is only data on paper, and when you really calculate it, there is not so much.
First of all, due to the collapse of the peasant and military system and the Tema military region system, half of the empire's land was divided among the military districts, and the central government's finances were tight, and these military districts only paid a little tax as a symbol, which was basically equivalent to a small country with local warlords divided one by one.
The loss of half of the country's territory by the central government is equivalent to the loss of half of its revenue.
Financial constraints naturally lead to a lack of military spending.
The local garrisons below, because of the lack of military funds, rarely have a full number.
Therefore, although Moore County is located in the key area of the frontier, the flag regiment of the local garrison here is maintained at about seventy percent all year round.
And these seventy percent are still "on paper".
In this kind of miscellaneous army, there are some traditional ills in the army: eating empty quotas and drinking soldiers' blood The flag regiment that Char took over is currently only 2,000 people, four battalions of soldiers, one of which is stationed in the capital city of Mesta, and this battalion stationed in the capital is actually out of Char's control.
This is also the practice of officialdom, as soon as you are a military commander, it is equivalent to cutting a city from the county to you, which means that the county guard will have one less territory, so in exchange, the battalions stationed in the capital are also considered to belong to the county guard.
Swapping a battalion for a city cannot be said to be a loss in this transaction.
This is the practice of officialdom, and Char can only pinch his nose and admit it, but the problem is that the remaining few battalions, the transport battalion and the auxiliary battalion do not care first, and the remaining three combat battalions are far from enough.
There should be a thousand people in the three battalions, but the real actual number of people can be five or six hundred.

The rest of the heads are just pages and pages of names on paper, and if you really look for them, it is strange that you can find a ghost only the annual military salary, and these empty military salaries naturally flow into the pockets of the middle and lower class officers of the local garrison army.
Even in some places, some battalion officers have a little power in the localities, and even the relatives and friends at home, the seven aunts and eight aunts, as well as the servants and miscellaneous cooks at home, are all registered in the army's roster, and they are counted as the heads of soldiers, and even if the state spends money every year to support a large family of people, and the remaining five or six hundred real heads, they must also be carefully selected, and those old, weak, sick and disabled should be eliminated according to half of the elimination rate, and finally 300 people can be taken out, which is considered good.
After this calculation, Char sighed: "Fuck, I really thought it was a fat difference, after a long time, Lao Tzu's men will have 300 people who can fight, and 300 people are equivalent to being demoted to battalion officers." ” After calculating the bad debts, there are naturally benefits.
The chief of armament of a county, then the peasants and soldiers of a county are also under his management, and he can intercept a sum of the income from the tuntian to supplement the military expenses, as well as the patrol of the local security office, as well as the tax inspection prison, etc., are all under his management.
There are 21 villages in four cities, six towns and 21 villages in Moore County, with a population of about 400,000.
Theoretically, if the peasants and soldiers of the whole county are mobilized in a desperate manner, it is entirely possible to pull out a contingent of tens of thousands of people.
The tuntian is owned by the state, and the income is used to feed the garrison, and there is also wealth, and there is also a little surplus every year for Char to enrich the local garrison military expenses.
In addition, security patrols, prisons, and tax inspections are also very lucrative.
In a word: in the county of Moore, all who wore weapons were under Char's rule.
After staying in Mestari for a long time, Char handed over the paperwork in the county guard's mansion in exchange for the military accounts of a county, and then took people to Denzel City to take up his post.
Anyway, there is another piece of news that comforts Char a lot.
Mad Dog Green had already taken office many days ago and was appointed as a battalion officer in the flag regiment of the local garrison of Moll County, and the original Krinthia County Guard also met with Green, knowing that Green was a very famous talent in the army, and originally wanted to leave this talent in the capital Mesta, and asked him to lead the battalion of Mesta, but Green politely refused, but insisted on going to Denzel to take office.
Although Krinthia is a local official, she also knows some imperial political situations, and knows that Green is a figure of the Imperial Eagle Department, and this Eagle character obviously came to this small border county with Char, so it seems that this Lord Char is also a figure valued by the Eagle Department. guessed this, naturally did not stop it, and happily let Green take office.
Green had already gone to Denzel ten days ago to take over a battalion.
This talent, who is recognized by the Eagle Department as having the "capital of a famous general", must have been rectified by him in the military affairs of Denzel City.
Char was anxious, and couldn't wait to leave Meesta with people and rush to Denzel City.
Denzel is the closest city to the frontier, and from Mesta to Denzel, it takes a day to get there.
This is the second time Char has come to this small frontier city, all the way overnight, when he arrived at Denzel City, it was the morning, although everyone was a little tired, but under the morning sun, looking at the end of the road in the distance, the outline of the city wall of the small city gradually became clear, this city wall built according to the standards of a military fortress, as if sprinkled with a piece of gold in the morning sun, the imperial eagle flag fluttering on the distant city wall, and the morning mist that did not disperse on the farmland on both sides, so at a glance, Char couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart, On the one hand, I can see Green immediately, and on the other hand, looking at this prosperous town that I have seen, I can't help but be eager: in the future, this is Lao Tzu's lair The four of them rode along the road and came to the bottom of the small city, looking up at the city wall, the eleven-meter-high city wall was majestic, because it had just experienced the war of the Odins, and as the front-line theater military headquarters, the city wall had just been repaired, and it looked majestic and strong.
Although it was early in the morning, but because this is just on the frontier trade road, the city gate has been crowded with a lot of passing caravans waiting to queue up to enter the city, the city gate is jammed by a taxi, and there are outsiders with Tiannan Haibei accent shouting and noisy, many of them are dressed in exotic styles, and some look at the appearance of the tall Odin, at this moment the two countries have just fought a war, these Odin merchants dare to come to Byzantium to do business, enough to appear bold, just around the Odin merchants, The people next to him avoided it from a distance, and some locals looked at it from a distance and spat hard.
Char frowned when he saw the congested city gate.
With so many people queuing up to enter the city, why is the speed of release at the city gate so slow He relied on his height and strength, and a strong man like Sharpa to open the way, and soon crowded to the front of the crowd, and at this glance, Char was immediately furious I saw that under the city gate, although the city gate was wide open, under the city gate used two sharp wooden horses brought out of the barracks to block half of the place under the city gate.
Under the city gate, dozens of officers and soldiers guarding the city wearing the clothes and armor of the local garrison army stood there lazily, everyone with a smile on their faces, and a look of impropriety, led by two older officers, one with a greedy face, and the other with a thief's eyebrows, sat at a table, but all past merchant groups entering the city must be registered first, which is in line with the imperial decree.
It's just that these guys are obviously hurting the public and private interests, and the two officers are sitting there, full of arrogance, one is playing with a horsewhip in his hand, and the other is holding a mimeographed signature in his hand.
But Char watched it for a while, but her face turned pale.
These two bastards sat there, and the documents handed by others, they only glanced at them roughly, and did not verify them much, but they made an arrogant look, and then they were picky, those caravans that passed were people who were used to traveling south and north, and some people came up to them if they didn't understand the meaning, and when they handed over the passage documents, there were some hard shiny things hidden in their sleeves, and they quietly stuffed them into the hands of the officers.
Those who refused to pay bribes were deliberately embarrassed and detained people's convoys, and a group of soldiers immediately pounced on them like wolves, turning over and over again to carefully inspect them, and some of the packed boxes of goods were also turned over and over in a mess.
As a result, the speed of release is naturally much slower.
Seeing that the city gate was blocked, the anxious caravan queuing behind them complained, everyone did not dare to scold these greedy officers and soldiers who asked for bribes, but they had to scold those caravans who did not know each other and refused to hand in bribes.
Char looked at it for a while, and couldn't stand it anymore, so he strode away from the crowd and rushed up, seeing a caravan leader rubbing his hand and trembling and hiding a few hard coins in his sleeve and handing them over, Char stepped forward and held down the merchant, pulled him back, stood in front of the table, and looked at the two officers sitting there condescendingly.
These two people were about to receive the money, but suddenly saw a person squeezed in front of them, so they frowned, one of them raised his eyelids and looked at Char, seeing that Char's expression was cold, and there was a faint taste of calm in his eyes, so he felt a chill in his heart at first.
After all, Char is a person who has experienced war, his strength is extraordinary, and he has been killed from the pile of dead people several times, and when he gets angry at this moment, he naturally brings an awe-inspiring majesty, so it looks like he has a bit of the demeanor of Adric, the general of the past.
"What are you doing?"
an officer shrunk his neck, but when he saw that he was surrounded by his own subordinates, he couldn't help but harden.
"Into the city," Char snorted.
"Line up at the back."
The officer frowned and raised his chin: "Quickly flash to the side, if you dare to disturb the order, I will arrest you" In order to make it easier for Char to travel, he did not wear armor, but wore a robe, otherwise, his mound armor would be revealed, and these officers would not dare to be so presumptuous.
"Disrupting the order" Char was furious, suddenly stepped forward, pressed the table with both hands, and lifted the table, in the exclamation of the officer, boom, a table directly smashed an officer down, and the other ran to the side, rolling on the ground with a gray face, before he could get up, seeing that one of his companions was crushed under the rotten table with blood on his face, he immediately screamed: "Someone come to grab and grab and catch" Dozens of soldiers around immediately pulled out their weapons and surrounded them, looking at the appearance of these people, all of them were hippie smiling faces, full of scoundrels, just like street gangsters, where there was the appearance of a soldier for half a day Char was angry and angry, and the two defenders who rushed in front of him were grabbed by his neck one by one by one and lifted up, and threw them far away towards the city wall.
With two bangs, the two rogue soldiers smashed on the city wall, and suddenly they broke their bones and fell to the ground rolling and vomiting blood.
There are some people next to him who arrogantly raised their swords and pounced, and some of them were simply some ruffians and the like, putting on military uniforms and eating together, seeing that Char was so arrogant, but he just hid behind and screamed and intimidated, and he didn't dare to step forward for a while.
Char didn't care so much, rushed into the crowd of rogue soldiers, punched and kicked, and killed seven or eight in a moment, fortunately, his subordinates showed mercy and did not kill people ruthlessly, but these people also had to break their legs and feet, and the rest shouted, dropped the weapons in their hands, and scattered towards the city in a swarm, shouting while running: "Bandits attack the city and run" Char was so angry that she almost vomited blood This is Lao Tzu's lair, this is Lao Tzu's army Mad Dog Green, you've been here for so many fucking days, what the hell are you eating Seeing that Char alone beat away the dozens of officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, the caravan passers-by behind who were waiting to enter the city suddenly burst into applause, and there was a shout for a while, some shouted "Good fight", and some even shouted, "This group of bastards, they should be killed with a knife" However, two old men came over with dignity, and quickly grabbed Char, and kindly persuaded: "Young man, run quickly, you have stabbed the hornet's nest, and after a while they gathered people to come out, you will suffer" Char snorted, thanked the other party for his kindness, gritted his teeth and said, "Are the defenders in this city all such bastards?"
Some of the businessmen next to him frowned, and complained helplessly: "I haven't been so arrogant before, although I used to occasionally get some benefits in the past, but I can still live."
But a few days ago, there was a Lord Green, this Lord heard that he came from Osgilia, the backstage is very hard, after the Lord Green battalion came, it became even worse, all the ruffians on the ground were recruited by him into the army, these people made the city into a miasma, and they also opened and closed cards at the city gate, openly asking for bribes, we also dare to be angry and dare not speak, at this moment several other battalions stationed in the city, seeing that Green has made a fortune, they all follow the same example, and they are all colluding with Green, both city gates are like this, These scoundrels are even more ruthless than bandits."
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the cooperation of others, and for a while, everyone was angry, and the garrison in the city was scolded to the blood.
Char was amazed when she heard this Green Green, that mad dog, Green The one who saluted silently in front of the statue of the Duke of Osgillia, the strict soldier who was not afraid of the warlords and magnates, how could he become such an unbearable appearance as soon as he came to the place after leaving Yanjing Could it be that the spirit he had in front of him before was all pretended?
Char was furious in his heart, went up and grabbed the officer who was smashed to the ground, lifted him up, and shouted: "Say which battalion you are, who is your commander?"

The officer vomited blood from his mouth, and under Char's majesty, his legs were already trembling, and he said, "I, I am from the first battalion, and the head of the battalion is Lord Green."
"Damn" Char threw him to the ground, his heart burning with rage.
At this moment, a commotion was heard from the city, and then there was a sound of footsteps, and a group of soldiers rushed out, armed with swords and weapons, led by a warrior wearing the leather armor of the battalion officer, tall and thin, who was none other than Grimm.
Green was dressed in military attire, and he was immediately different from the depressed soldier Yan Jing had seen, and his whole body burst out with a compelling heroic spirit and look.
As soon as he saw Char from afar, Green laughed, looked back and shouted, "Put away the weapons hahaha" There was a kind person next to him who hurriedly whispered to Char: "Run, this guy is very powerful."
Char stood there, staring at Grimm with his eyes, Green strode up, opened his arms and was about to hug Char, but Char turned sideways to dodge, glared at Grimm coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "Green, what a mad dog, you have been here for so many days, you have done so fucking beautifully, Lao Tzu just came, and I saw your means" Green's face remained unchanged, he smiled slightly, and shouted to the "soldiers" behind him who were full of arrogance and were not good at first glance: "Be honest, don't make a mistake This is our new commander of armaments, Lord Char has fucking collected his weapons and come up to salute."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all of a sudden, and someone next to him who had previously accused the army in the city suddenly turned pale with fright, thinking that this group of officers and soldiers were a nest of snakes and rats, and I had just scolded those words in front of the boss of the family, but I was afraid that I would be unlucky Many people had these thoughts in mind, and they retreated into the crowd one after another.
Char stared at Green, gritted his teeth and whispered: "You don't give me a fucking spare, Green, what bullshit you did here, if you don't explain it to me clearly, Lao Tzu doesn't care what your origin is, and the military law cut off your head" Green saw that Char's eyes were full of anger, obviously he was really murderous, but he was not in a hurry at all, smiled slightly, and lowered his voice: "This is not the place to speak, advanced city, I will tell you slowly." ” After a pause, seeing that Char's expression was still full of hostility, Green sighed: "Reckless boy, don't you believe in my personality Listen to me once, I will naturally explain to you when I turn around, and if you want to fight or kill at that time, it's up to you." ” Char snorted, although he was annoyed in his heart, but after all, he still had some expectations: Ruhl and Adrick were characters that they admired so much, and with the way Green had acted in the past, how could he make such an unbearable move Finally moved by Green's words, Green pulled Char and walked to the city, and casually instructed a few of his officers to take over the guarding of the city gate and maintain order.
Char walked a few steps, but suddenly stopped and shouted, "Sharpa" Sharpa immediately responded.
"Lao Tzu enters the city, you stay here and stare at it first" Xia Ya said coldly: "You stared at me with wide eyes, if anyone dares to mess around here and ask for bribes, cut off the left hand with the left hand, cut off the right hand with the right hand, if someone makes trouble, you directly cut off the head to see me" Sharpa immediately straightened up in response, drew his sword and stood at the door, he was originally born burly and majestic, and when he stood there at this moment, he was even more like a door god.
After Char finished speaking, his murderous eyes swept over the soldiers under Green, and everyone was immediately afraid.
