Chapter 533: The King Doesn't See the King


It's purely an oolong, I went to Shenzhen for the annual meeting, and before I went, I gave a leave notice to inform everyone that I would break off for a few days.

As a result, I only uploaded it and forgot about the cloth.

I haven't been on the Internet for the past few days, and when I came back, I saw a lot of people scolding me, and the biggest contradiction was why I didn't notify everyone.

Depressed, I really uploaded the notification, but I forgot to cloth I'm a person who can't fly, I can only take the train, this time I went to Shenzhen to die, the train 12 hours round trip is 24 hours, and the ride is almost collapsed.

When I came back, I slept for a day and a night before I recovered.

Chapter 533: The King Doesn't See the King According to the aristocratic law of the Roland Empire, a hereditary baron with a territory could recruit and maintain a private army of up to 600 people.

Of course, this kind of law on paper is generally just a matter of putting it on the table.

And what about the actual situation Most of the nobles in the Roland Empire who have the title of baron, not counting those honorary titles for life, only those barons with real power who own territories, most of the barons, who can have a hundred and ten private troops, are already considered to be the top in strength For example, a nobleman in the northwest like Baron Pierre, the old man did not live very well before he followed Chen Daolin, and it was already very good to be able to support a dozen guards at home.

There are more than a dozen armed guards, and the equipment and weapons are also very simple, and it is enough to have a standard weapon, and even the "high-end goods" such as armor and shields are not available.

Of course, as a lord, Baron Pierre had the right to recruit the peasants of his realm to fight for him when needed, and those peasants with mud legs, as long as they put a spear each, no, or even without a spear, and let them take the sticks, broadswords, and even dung forks that he brought from home.

Of course, the maximum limit of the number cannot exceed 600, and if it exceeds 600, then it is considered a violation of the law, and there is a suspicion of rebellion.

The exception is the special situation, which is the so-called special situation, which is to resist the invasion of foreign enemies and so on.

And Chen Daolin is really a strange existence.

Even if he received the title of baron, according to the law, he could only maintain an army of up to six hundred men.

But in fact, the armed forces under his direct control in the Northwest Fortress now have thousands of people.

Of course, for the center of the empire, the only option is to deliberately ignore the army of these thousands of people.

In fact, the empire consoled itself in this way: most of these thousands of armed guards were assembled by various chambers of commerce, and in terms of ownership, they still belonged to those chambers of commerce, not Chen Daolin's private army.

As for Chen Daolin's private army, it is only a thousand people.

There is not much out of the quota of 600 people, and in a chaotic area like the northwest, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, so it is simply a blind eye.

But if there are too many numbers, there is no way to explain it.

Now Chen Daolin is asking for "10,000 male soldiers" when he opens his mouth, which is simply a joke.

It's so shameless Spann cursed in his heart. 10,000 soldiers If we can send 10,000 male soldiers to the north, we will take over the northwest fortress and resist the orcs ourselves This Darling Chen is simply a lion's mouth No, he did it on purpose Spann came to his senses in an instant When Darling Chen said such things, it showed that he knew very well that Panin would not be able to send troops north The safety of the Northwest Fortress was extremely important to the Empire, especially to Panin.

To fight the invading steppe people, Panin needs to have a stable north.

He had to avoid the situation of being attacked on the back of the abdomen, so at this time This Darling Chen deliberately said that we should send troops, but in fact he was implying that he knew that we would not be able to send troops deliberately mentioning this stubble is simply planning to sit on the ground and start the price What a bastard Spann immediately made a new estimate of Chen Daolin's shamelessness in his heart.

Isn't this guy still satisfied with the terms of assistance offered by Panin?

Before coming, Spann had already had some careful discussions with Panin.

From the current stage, the equipment of such a light infantry mixed regiment sent by Panin is already considered to be the limit.

Panin himself is also under great pressure, and there are more than 100,000 grassland iron horsemen in the west of his defense area, ready to cross the border at any time.

Therefore, Paning's military assistance to Chen Daolin is not endless The maximum limit for him is to help with some weapons and equipment, and the equipment of this light infantry mixed regiment is still deducted from between his teeth.

Panin's situation is not easy.

The biggest trump card in his hand is the two elite Thor's Whip Division, but what he has to face is hundreds of thousands or more of the Prairie Iron Horsemen, which is likely to include the power of the Tulip family.

And Shiloh's trust in Panin is not endless.

The Northwest had already handed over the Northwest to Panin, giving him two elite Thor's Whip Divisions, which were already one of the most elite armies in the Empire.

As for the other two divisions of Thor's Whip, they were in the hands of Aker.

Based on Panin's political opinions, Aker has become his natural political enemy, and Aker will never let Panin snatch military power in his hands.

Although since the situation in the northwest has become more and more chaotic, Panin has written a secret letter to the imperial capital, explaining the situation in the northwest to Shiloh, and proposing that in order to prevent a big chaos, he asks Shiloh to give him more troops.

But Shiloh responded by allowing Panin to reorganize the original local garrison in the northwest region, and allowing him to recruit reservists when needed, and how many local garrisons in the province of Knulin were full of only a few thousand.

As for the reserves, that's even more of a joke.

The Roland Empire's reserve system had been in place for decades.

But Nureen Province is a special place, a buffer zone between the center of the empire and the tulip family.

The reserve system in Nulin Province is the worst implemented in the entire Roland Empire, and since it is a blank space, it has naturally been extremely lax in armaments.

The reserves of the province of Nulin were almost negligible.

The only thing Panin could do was to recruit the peasants and form a peasant army.

That kind of rabble, Panin naturally can't look down on it.

Shiloh also secretly told Panin that even if he increased his troops, it would be at least after the next year This year, Shiloh can't spare more troops to hand over to Panin A coup d'état almost wiped out the Imperial Guards in the palace.

Shiloh had already drawn some of the King's Guards and Thor's Whip, plus his own old base guard battalion, to form a new Imperial Guard.

In this way, the two legions of the Royal City Guard and the Thor's Whip have been reorganized and weakened.

As for the other armies within the empire, the Storm Legion in the north had to keep an eye on the eastern lines of the north, keeping an eye on the orcs.

And because of Goth's death, one of the officer corps of the Storm Legion died in the coup d'état, at this time, after Shiloh did not complete the thorough reorganization of the Storm Legion, where did he dare to transfer such a fierce border army to his side As for the other armies in the empire, the second-line troops in those places, the local garrisons, are already being reorganized.

But it all takes time The Roland Empire is not the real world, with an army of tens of thousands of people, pulled by trains, it can run from the south to the north in a day or two In this era, the mobilization of the army must rely on the soldiers' feet to walk step by step Mobilization, mobilization, rectification, assembly, preparation of supplies, etc., etc., this is a huge project In his secret letter to Panin, Shiloh had clearly told Panin that even if the worst case scenario occurred, he would demand that Panin must hold on to the northwest defense line until after the beginning of spring next year At least until the beginning of spring, Panin himself didn't have to count on the support of troops from Shiloh, at most it was just a supply of some supplies.

To equip, to material, there is Dignitaries, no Moreover, even with the Lancang Canal, the cost of mobilizing materials from the inner belly of the empire to the northwest is not ordinarily high Therefore, when Spann listened to Chen Daolin's words, his first reaction was anger in his heart 10,000 soldiers If I have 10,000 male soldiers, I will still look at your face here He had already worn 10,000 troops to the north and directly took over the northwest fortress It's because you can't draw these 10,000 people that you let this guy be here to be powerful Holding back the anger in his heart, Spann barely squeezed out a smile: "Haha, Your Excellency Baron said that you are laughing.

I see that His Excellency the Baron is full of talents, and where do you need the help of those mud-legged people in our barracks. ” Chen Daolin naturally knew that it was impossible to really ask for 10,000 people, even if Paning was willing to give it, he would not dare to ask for it If Panin really sent 10,000 troops to the Northwest Fortress, he would have taken over this place directly, and what else did he want him to do Chen Daolin snorted, and said with a smile: "That's not what I said, I have such a big line of defense here, and this bit of manpower in my hand is really full of holes."

Well, I don't dare to really ask Lord Garonin for the army, but for some other support, I hope Lord Duke still doesn't refuse. ” Span frowned, how the equipment of an infantry mixed regiment was not enough Chen Daolin saw Span's face, and said with a smile: "I am not a person who asks excessively, I am very satisfied and grateful for the gifts you have brought, but I just need some other support, not money and materials, nor soldiers, horses, food and grass, what I need is" As he spoke, Chen Daolin took two steps closer and whispered something in Span's ear.

When Span heard this, his face was stunned, he raised his head, and looked at Chen Daolin in surprise: "You mean it really" Chen Daolin smiled faintly and said, "Of course it's not a joke, I don't think this request is difficult, it's just within the Duke's authority." ” Spann thought for a moment, his expression became serious, and he said in a low voice: "I can't answer you immediately, I will report to the Duke immediately after I go back."

Outside the city of Mulan, the capital of Nulin Province, ten miles to the east.

Standing on both sides of the main road, there is a welcoming procession.

Although Panin did not come in person, he sent his own lieutenant and a number of officials from the governor's palace in Nulin Province.

According to the reported news, the team from the imperial capital will arrive today.

Among them were not only Lord Ross, the Count of Villa, who served as the envoy of the knighthood, and the archbishop of the Temple of Light.

What's more, it is the number one boss in the Academy of Magic, Dean Carmen and her preparatory team, it is said that Dean Carmen brought dozens of attachés from the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic this time Dozens of magicians came to Nulin Province together, such a grand event has not been born for a hundred years.

I waited from morning to noon, and only then did the cavalry who greeted them run back.

Soon, a long line appeared in the distance of the main road.

A group of cavalry under the banner of the Imperial Imperial Imperial Forest Army cavalry came slowly.

In the center of the procession, a black horse, dressed in a splendid cotton robe and covered with a cape, with a huge head shining in the sun, was none other than the Count of Villa.

The procession behind him was very long, and more than a dozen carriages were full of goods, all of which were rewards from His Majesty the Emperor, as well as ceremonial utensils.

At the end of the procession, there was also a magnificent carriage, accompanied by several elite holy knights, and two white-robed clergy sitting on horses, and it was definitely the papal envoy, the archbishop sent to bless Darlingchen.

It's not the first time Ross has come to the Northwest this year, he's been to the Northwest twice.

By the time the procession arrived, the people who greeted them had already set up a queue and waved the banner of Panin.

The officer who greeted him first greeted Rose, and then invited the archbishop to get out of the carriage and salute.

But then the officer looked left and right in the procession, but did not see the most important guest of the trip.

"The Earl."

The official's face was a little embarrassed: "Why didn't you see the Academy of Magic?"

Rose rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly, "Don't look at it, Dean Carmen and they are not in the team." ” "Absent" The officer was stunned.

Rose shook his head: "We got off the boat from the Lancang Canal and went ashore, and Dean Carmen left with her people. ” "Left" The official's face was bitter: "I don't know which path Dean Carmen is taking" "How do I know?"

Rose waved his hand: "Her old man is a magician, and the attachés she brings are all magicians, who can control it Well, I remember, Lord Dean said, she doesn't want to see Panin." ” When these words were spoken, the people at the scene suddenly fell silent Carmen doesn't want to see Panin Who dares to answer this sentence Who doesn't know that Xiao Del died on the night of the coup d'état, although he was not born to Carmen, but he also raised his adopted son for several years, and Carmen did not report to Shiloh, and he never found Gu Le And counting it, Paning also has a share That night, it was Panin who finally blocked the last sword of the former Emperor Marhi, which gave Gu Le the opportunity to stab Xiao Deer to death.

Speaking of which, if this Dean Carmen saw Panin and fought hard, no one would be able to stop him "This dean, she really said, I don't see the duke."

"Well, I don't think these two are the best."

Rose pouted: "These things are not out of your control, well, I don't think the dean will enter Mulan City, I guess I have already arrived in Rowa City by this time."

They're all magicians, and they're all faster than us, whether they're broomsticks or hot air balloons. ”r1152 “”:
