rise of empire total war

Chapter 230 Case Reminder

(The three imperial knight companies and seven foot imperial knight companies that were compiled as the Imperial Guard were forgotten in the previous article, which has been revised)

……

Nord City, the capital of King Winster, and the military camp and school grounds.

Although it was early in the morning and there was a chill in the air, the school field was overcrowded. A large number of soldiers formed large square formations in units of brigades, standing on the school field where they usually trained, with their heads held high and their morale high.

In this wide school field, the military flags are fluttering, and all the soldiers in black and yellow military uniforms are everywhere. Under the enthusiastic eyes of the soldiers, Richard, who is fully dressed, slowly walked up to the high platform, inspecting the only one that belongs to him. powerful army.

This is the flag-giving ceremony after the reform of the military system. Today, Richard will personally award the special double-headed eagle flag to the First Army. It is to merge the eight foot imperial knight companies into one brigade. It is completely different from the ordinary brigade. Their duty is to guard the double-headed eagle flag. The flag is there, and the flag is dead, just like the most elite in the Roman legion. The same as the flag guard brigade.

Standing on the high platform, Richard glanced at the soldiers on the school field. They raised their chests higher when Richard's gaze swept across them, wanting to show Richard their best condition.

"Soldiers of the Empire." Richard said, his voice will be spread throughout the school grounds through a special speaker, so there is no need for him to shout loudly, "Today, we gather on the school grounds to witness the first This is the most memorable day in the history of the Legion. Today, I will personally award you the military flag belonging to the Legion, and I will also bestow on you the responsibility and obligation to guard the military flag.

Hundreds of years ago, the Roman legions that almost conquered Europe and turned the entire Mediterranean into a lake had such a sacred military flag. Witnessed by the military flag, they fought bravely and conquered one race after another. They were invincible. Defeated every opponent in the known world.And we, as the successors of the Roman Empire, should continue their glory, let the footprints of the eagle flag travel throughout the known world, and let the swords of the Legion defeat anyone who dares to be hostile to us!

Therefore, I want to grant you the eagle flag, the flag of the double-headed eagle, the symbol of the empire, and I hope that you will be more heroic and achieve greater glory under the watchful eyes of the eagle flag, so that the flag of the empire will be planted everywhere in this known world. in the corner! "

"Now, please come out from the flag guard team!"

As soon as Richard finished speaking, eight companies of more than [-] dismounted imperial knights came out together. They held their heads high and looked proud, accepting the envious gazes of their comrades around them.

Soon, the flag guard brigade formed a neat square formation in front of the high platform, and then, under the instruction of the general guard, the brigade commander walked quickly up the high platform, stopped a few steps behind Richard, and walked from On the other side of the high platform, several heavily armed general guard knights escorted a scepter with a double-headed eagle on the top to the high platform.

Immediately, all the eyes of the audience were on the double-headed eagle scepter made of gold, full of reverence and fanaticism!
Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, Richard solemnly took the double-headed eagle scepter from the knights of the guards. Feeling the coldness and weight in his hands, Richard turned around slowly and said to the captain of the flag guard brigade: "The first Captain Field Quick of the First Legion's Flag Guarding Brigade, please take over the flag!"

In the next second, Captain Field took a step forward and solemnly took the scepter handed over by Richard. Then, he held the scepter tightly with both hands and held it up to the sky. The sun shone brightly on the double-headed eagle emblem. He shouted loudly: "In the name of God, I, Field Quick, will swear to the death to defend the eagle flag. The flag is alive, the flag is dead, and the flag is dead. I will never lie!"

"The flag is there and the people are there, but the flag is dead and the people are dead!"

"The flag is there and the people are there, but the flag is dead and the people are dead!"

"The flag is there and the people are there, but the flag is dead and the people are dead!"

All members of the flag guard brigade under the stage shouted loudly following the commander. Their shouts shook the sky, gathered together, and echoed over the entire barracks.

……

After returning to the Ippolito Palace, before Richard had time to take a breath, a sudden incident brought him back to the table, looking at the case written on the scroll that took place in a small village in Urife, Richard The corner of De's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

"In a village in the south of Urif Territory, several children were playing with torches. They threw the torches into the cesspool in the village, causing a big explosion... The explosion caused two houses to collapse, eight villagers died, and 23 people were injured. The four children who set the fire have been arrested by the security team, and the security officer recommended that the parents of the children be punished."

"How can we be punished?" Richard scratched his head. He had seen a lot of such things in his previous life, where parents were punished for making mistakes. Most of them were dealt with by losing money, but this time the situation was even more serious. Eight people died. 23 people were injured. If the parents lost money, they probably wouldn't be able to afford it if they sold them.

However, no punishment is unrealistic, and I am afraid it will not be able to appease the anger of the families of the victims.

"Order the parents to compensate the victim's family. If the compensation cannot be made, then the compensation will be made with their land. If the satisfaction is still not met, the parents and children will be sold as slaves and the money will be used for compensation."

After writing this sentence on the paper, Richard asked people to pack it up and send it to Ulif.Such a punishment is really helpless. Although Richard does not want to spread the punishment to the children, it is useless to punish their parents alone. In addition, there is no such thing as the protection of minors in the Middle Ages, so this kind of punishment is justified.

What's more, Richard himself can't understand such things as brats. Although he has never really encountered those brats full of evil in his previous life, he can see "glorious deeds" of brats everywhere on the Internet. Naturally, he also hated creatures like bear children.

In the previous life, even if he encountered a bad boy, there was no way to punish him, but here, the law has not been perfected to the point of implementing the law on the protection of minors, so Richard can safely and boldly punish the bad boy he hates.

After the person sent the letter with the punishment order to Ullif, Richard leaned back on the chair with ease. This case suddenly gave him inspiration—since the power of the explosion is so powerful, why didn't he make good use of it? Woolen cloth?Of course, it is not about using biogas explosions, which are difficult to use, but using the power of gunpowder explosions.

In peacetime when there is no war, troops equipped with firearms will still refresh their own gunpowder every day, but they will only refresh the amount of gunpowder they have. However, they do not use the gunpowder, so the refresh function is wasted.So, why doesn't Richard collect the gunpowder they refresh every day and use it to develop new weapons?
Thinking of this, Richard slammed the table and couldn't help feeling annoyed at his waste, so he decided to have people collect gunpowder from the Firearms Battalion for development and testing starting today.

Since the system does not give me the authority to recruit matchlock soldiers, I will study this technology by myself and activate it myself!Richard thought so.
