Chapter 359: [The Fight Begins]


Seeing that Char's face had changed slightly, Green's tone changed, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he smiled lightly: "The daughter of the great chief of the Zaku tribe, the situation is very different.

I also know some of the things you did in the Zaku tribe, the Zaku tribe has a relationship with us, and owes you such a big favor, but you have to understand a little, this thing is a favor, use a little less, and there will always be a little bit that will be repaid.

If you want to establish a true iron alliance with the Zaku tribe, you need some other means" Char's expression was a little gloomy: "Did you just sell me like this?"

When Green heard this, he laughed and patted Char's shoulder, and this guy's face actually showed a smile similar to that of the fat man Ruhr: "How can it be said that it is a sale, but the family is the daughter of the big chief of the tribe, and the Zaku tribe has always been self-contained on the mainland, if strictly speaking, this big chief is like a king or an emperor, and his daughter can be regarded as a princess."

Besides, I've seen that young lady from afar a few times, and her appearance is also beautiful and moving, such a good thing, how can you still be cheap and good. ” Char still had to tell that Green had already put away his smiling face, and said, "This was a joke just now, but I have to mean that it will be of great benefit to us if you marry this princess of the Zaku tribe."

At the moment, we are entrenched in this part of the county of Mor, although it is still relatively stable, the rebels cannot be defeated, and the Odin people are busy going south, so we have a hard-won opportunity to respite and recuperate here.

But after all, we are now an enclave for the Empire.

Far away from Yanjing, isolated here, looking horizontally and vertically, up and down, front and back, left and right, all of them are enemies.

You can't stay in a lonely place for a long time, you have to find another way to find foreign help. ” Char also recognized these words of his.

Grimm continued: "The Zaku tribe claims to be unified in the wildfire field, and neither the Odin nor our Byzantine Empire can control them.

They have their own production, gold and tobacco, which make these Zaku people more than rich, and it is a trade route, and establish a strong alliance with them, only by trading with the Zaku tribe, we don't have to worry about military expenses in the future.

I don't believe you can't see this benefit. ” "Not bad."

Char nodded.

"Also, the Zaku tribe has always been entrenched in the mountains, I heard that they have many tribes, really speaking, the population, hundreds of thousands."

"It's pretty much the same."

Char thought for a moment and nodded.

"Zaku men are born to be good hunters, that is to say, almost all Zaku men are excellent and good warriors for so long, whether it is our Byzantium or Odin, we have not beaten the Zaku tribe cheaply, knowing that these guys are rich, but they have not been able to attack them, on the one hand, of course, because of the rugged mountain roads, it is not easy to conquer, on the other hand, the Zaku people's own force should not be underestimated.

They are up and down the tribe, if all the men are mobilized and get tens of thousands of soldiers, it will not be a problem, this is a strong reinforcement, if it is a last resort, we can also ask the Zaku tribe for help, and even borrow troops through the Zaku tribe, we can extend our tentacles into the wildfire field, and if the Odin people send troops to the south again, the people of the Zaku tribe will help us make trouble for the Odin people in the back and find trouble, which is also good. ” Char smiled bitterly: "What you said makes sense Since there are so many benefits, you might as well marry that Suling chick, by the way, old mad dog, you are so old, but you are still single, and you have not married a wife, it's strange."

After a pause, Char touched his chin: "Well, not only you, that fat man from Ruhr, but also General Adric, you eagle army elders seem to be bachelors." ” Green's face shook, and then he smiled bitterly: "I hum, if it's for national affairs, I, Green, don't mind sacrificing it, but people are crying and shouting that it's you, the turtle, who wants to marry, not my old mad dog."

If you marry the daughter of this great chief, plus your kindness to them before, this favor plus family affection, and we will maintain this relationship well in the future, then the Zaku tribe will be firmly tied to our carriage, whether it is the Odin people coming or the rebels going north, with this relationship, the Zaku tribe will not sit idly by. ” Char touched his forehead: "It's hard to be that big chief, I've only dealt with him two or three times, and it's a big fat man who seems to be honest, but in fact, he has a ghost idea, more shrewd than a monkey, and more cunning than a fox, if you want to tie him up, I'm afraid it's not so easy."

"But what about military spending."

Green sighed and looked at Char: "You don't know the current difficulties.

We made a fire, did the scorched earth strategy, although the urgent need was solved, but the land was also abandoned for a few months, although later we also dismissed the nearby refugees to return to the land to farm, but this autumn's grain harvest, must be insufficient, fortunately, Moore County has always been a large grain-producing county, there is a lot of grain in the warehouse, and there are some reserves left before the last war, I have calculated for a long time, it is just enough for our military and civilians to survive the winter to next year, but the military expenses will be troublesome, you are not one or two thousand people now, Rather, one or two thousand, our plan is to pull up a completed army to come out, so that we can cope with future changes in the future.

Although we have the existence of the peasant and military system in Byzantium, but what has become of the peasant and military system now, I think you know very well in your heart, so for new soldiers, we have been adopting a mixture of conscription and conscription.

Among the old peasant soldiers, I can only choose some that can be used as much as possible, and the rest can only be recruited, and if I recruit new soldiers, the settling-in allowance is an expense, as well as the loss of equipment, weapons, armor, and armor for the training of new soldiers, the loss of horses, and the loss of food.

There are also soldiers' salaries and allowances, and you know that our treasury has long been empty.

Originally, Moore County had been destroyed, the trade routes were cut off, the local agricultural taxes had long been unable to collect, and most of the people in the places had become refugees, and where they could receive taxes, there was not a single copper plate in the treasury.

Now all the expenses are supported by the gold you brought back, but we can't give gold to the soldiers as military pay, I have already desperately collected copper plates and silver coins circulating in the market outside, and even sent six people to Mesta, and a few times to Wildfire Town.

I'm sleeping now, and even dreaming about it is money, how much money do you think you brought back, and it's not gold and silver, but just a few cars.

If we continue to spend like this, we will support it until the beginning of spring next year at most, and we are afraid that our money will run out."

Green said, looking at Char and sneering: "And you should also know that even if it is the spring of next year, we will not be able to collect any taxes, our current county guard has almost become a military camp, most of Moore County is rotten, even if it can collect taxes next year, but how much can the tax revenue of a county in Moore County In the past, the tax revenue of this county was only two thousand soldiers, but now we are 20,000 and a quarter is the most expensive and the most expensive cavalry, if you don't think about making money, after next spring, We're probably going to start giving white strips to soldiers. ” Char was silent, rubbing his eyebrows vigorously, and he didn't know what Green said about these situations in his heart It's just that if you want to plan for the future, you have to pull up an army of sufficient size.

But if you want to feed an army, an army at the corps level, then you have to spend a lot of money, a lot of money The two originally talked about Char's marriage, but after talking about official business, they both fell silent, and they looked at each other speechlessly.

After a long while, Green smiled reluctantly and patted Char: "No matter what, I'm just giving you some advice, you have to make your own decisions about marrying a wife." ” Char thought to himself: If Lao Tzu could make up his own mind, he would have run away at night with his baggage.

Now where is my own idea, it is completely the crazy woman in the backyard, but this is just a matter of thinking about it, and I dare not say it in my mouth.

Otherwise, Merlin will know, and he may either become a frog or a mouse Finally, Green stood up and was about to say goodbye, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly stood again, looked back and smiled, and said: "I almost forgot an important thing Nene there, what are you going to do?"

When Char heard this, it was another headache for him.

Sometimes, if you think about it carefully, it's really a little unreasonable when you first came out of the mountain, a bitter little turtle, and I haven't even seen a few women in my life.

But now, it seems that the women around him are crying and shouting to marry him.

Well, strictly speaking, Miss Nene really doesn't "look" like a woman.

But she is the one who gives her the most headache.

Nene has a true affection for Char, and he has been following, and he has also taken the whole group to defect. almost staked the entire belongings to Char.

The most important thing is that Nene is a good person and has a spicy temper, which really fits Char's appetite.

If she didn't think about marrying herself as a wife, such a person, being a brother must be first-class.

It's good now, I'm getting married, Nene is so angry that he hides outside the city, he doesn't even see himself, and he takes the cavalry to parade outside every day, of course, well, one of the reasons is that Nene's fear of Merlin, so he doesn't dare to enter the city.

But it's not the way to go "Nene's affairs, I can't say anything" Green smiled bitterly: "To tell the truth, you and I are both men, Nene's appearance is well, I have wronged you."

But after all, our cavalry was built on her gang of horse thieves.

Even if you don't want to be nice to her, you have to end things well.

You can't hurt people's hearts, lest there be any estrangement or mustard in everyone's hearts in the future. ” After Greene finished speaking, he left.

Char was left there for a while, and suddenly slapped her thigh: "I can't help her with anything else, but I'll beg Merlin, take off the cursed bracelet on Nenne's arm, and it can be regarded as an apology to her That old crazy woman forced me to marry a wife, this little thing, I'm always embarrassed to refuse me."

Char thought of it, and immediately ran to the backyard in a hurry, but when he got to the door, he saw that outside the backyard, he didn't know who had removed a door panel, and just stuck it on the ground.

Char took a closer look, and there was a line of words written on the door panel like a ghostly dragon flying phoenix, and the handwriting was a shocking red, a fishy smell, obviously written with some kind of blood.

"Within three days, the sky will fall and the earth will not be disturbed, and those who enter will die" As soon as he saw this word, there was a sudden rush of evil breath in his face, Char felt a chill in his heart, where did he dare to take a step inside and stand at the door and poke his head into the door, and finally sighed and left.

I called a few guards to come, and left someone to guard outside the backyard, so that no one could go in and disturb it, even if it was three meals, there was no need to send them.

If some servant in the house accidentally enters, and Merlin turns into a frog or an earthworm, then it is wronged.

As for not delivering food, whether Merlin will starve to death is about Lao Tzu's Char thought with hatred in her heart.

Staying in this garrison mansion was really boring, Char simply decided to go back to the military camp outside the city to be more comfortable.

At that moment, he went out of the gate again, and did not wait for the attendants, and rode a horse towards the outside of the city, but after walking a street, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and there were people shouting behind, and when he looked back, it was an officer of the logistics quartermaster department, who was running profusely with sweat, and came to the front, and before he could stand firmly, he panted and said: "Your Excellency the county guard, our Lord Cato please go immediately, there is something urgent."

Char sat on his horse and looked at the officer, obviously a very young recruit, there were many recruits in the city, and many of them were selected by the strict selection of Green, but Cato chose a few guys with flexible minds and can write and calculate to enrich the logistics quartermaster's office.

The young man in front of him obviously still had a somewhat immature feeling, and his face was flustered, which is also what only recruits can have.

"Well, what's wrong" Char didn't panic, Cato was just a logistics quartermaster there, what kind of mess could happen "Yes, there is a fight, Lord Cato can't hold it back, send me to report to you quickly, please be sure to go immediately.

I went to the garrison and said you just went out."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Char frowned: "It's a fight."

Char snorted, fighting in the army is too common.

Char didn't care too much, but Cato, as the leader of the logistics and military quartermaster entrusted by him, couldn't even control the fights of his subordinates, which was inevitably too useless.

He furrowed his brows, but he heard the officer lower his voice and said in a low voice: "It's not our people, it's the people of the Sixth and Seventh Corps, who came to ask for something from our Lord Cato, and as a result, the people on both sides of them fought with each other, and there was a fight in our hall and blood."

Char immediately raised her eyebrows To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
