Lord of Riders

After Shao Yu finished speaking, Lord Ubai, Wayne, and Eleon didn't react at all, and basically didn't move.

For the people of the Shao Ming Kingdom, whether they are aristocrats or civilians, they have become accustomed to war.

The Shao Ming Kingdom was established and developed in constant wars. Almost the Shao Ming Kingdom is at war every day, or preparing for the next war. Many of the people’s work cannot be separated from the war. A large number of civilians work in arsenals and some weapon manufacturing factories. Their lives depend on the needs of war. Supported.

Therefore, for these lords, the war is more like a common meal than the meal in front of them.

Shao Yu saw that they had no objections, so he went on.

"Our enemy is very strong, and we also need to become stronger. The enemy's military strength far exceeds ours, so our soldiers must be better at fighting. So I want to reform the army again." Shao Yu said seriously.

Speaking of this, the lords also looked at Shao Yu seriously. Although Shao Yu is very casual, they know that Shao Yu will talk about important things next.

"Now our expeditionary force is composed of cavalry and infantry. I also use crossbowmen as an infantry configuration. However, in the future, my expeditionary force will be equipped with all cavalry units, all equipped with sleeveless plate armor, 50,000 horses, and one body. Set" Shao Yu said

"In terms of weapon equipment, we must try our best to achieve one heavy crossbow per person, 30 crossbow bolts, and a steel shield. Of course, it is not pure steel. There must be a shield of steel armor to ensure the defense of the soldiers." Shao Yu Then said

Lord Ubai and Wayne’s entourage immediately took out the sheepskin scroll and pen and wrote them down. These will be executed immediately. When the dinner is over, these things will go to production, and then within a short time. , It is necessary to equip the army.

"There are also cavalry scimitars and hook and sickle spears. Each soldier must be equipped with equipment. Of course, not including the sword knight," Shao Yu said.

The hook and sickle gun has always been used as the equipment of the infantry in the Shao Ming Kingdom, but it is actually used by the cavalry.

"I want to train our expeditionary army into an invincible, invincible, all-powerful elite force, an invincible division. Our army must be able to win more before in order to finally defeat the Ansa Empire and achieve the ultimate goal. Victory." Shao Yu said

"Your Majesty next wants to directly destroy the remnants of the Ansa Empire?" Elaine asked

"No, I'm going to attack the Nord Kingdom first, and completely destroy this country in the shortest time." Shao Yu said

"The Nords have ruled the continent of Calradia for decades. They have a large population. I am afraid they are not so easy to be wiped out. Moreover, even if they are wiped out, they will not be able to put down the rebellion in a short period of time, just like the Nord Kingdom wiped out. Like the Kingdom of Vaegya, I don’t know when a rebellion will break out," Elaine said.

"Violence will definitely not solve the problem. Although they are Nords, if they can have a certain contradiction with their king and give them enough benefits, I believe the rebellion will soon be put down," Shao Yu said.

Eleon nodded. It was not that he knew what Shao Yu was going to do, but he knew that Shao Yu had a plan in his heart, so he didn't say more, anyway, Shao Yu can always win the battle.

"Going back to the question just now. Regarding the expeditionary army, my requirement is that every soldier must have a set of plate armor, and the arsenal must produce it for me as soon as possible, as well as a heavy crossbow and one man. Get the equipment in place as soon as possible." Shao Yu said

"This time we still have to recruit soldiers and horses across the country, select the most brave and proficient soldiers, and join the Iron Legion. As I said, it is the name of the Expeditionary Army. Steel is the biggest feature of the Legion. I will not elaborate too much. , What I want is the most elite fighters. Of course, the main body is the elite fighters we are going with me this time." Shao Yu said

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will order as soon as possible, and Aichamore will immediately enter the state of emergency production." Lord Ubai said

"Okay, don't reveal too much information about this matter. Publicity should be prepared to deal with the offensive of the Anglo Empire. For the Nord Kingdom, don't let them receive too much information, lest they make adequate preparations," said Shao Yu

"Yes, your majesty, rest assured" several people said one after another

After ordering these important things, these people went back after eating.

The factories in the Shao Ming Kingdom began to get busy.

The Shao Ming Kingdom now depends on commerce to feed the country, so there are many mercenaries in the Shao Ming Kingdom.

In Calradia, mercenaries are quite common, and there are always jobs to eat. Because the war will not stop, wherever there is a fight, someone must go desperately.

Shao Yu established the first mercenary guild on the Calradia continent and gathered a large number of mercenary groups to take over tasks in the Shao Ming Kingdom. There are many caravans here that need to be protected, so they have money to make.

However, in the past two days, the guild began to issue a new announcement regarding the recruitment of troops from the Shao Ming Kingdom. The Kingdom of Shao Ming recruited a large number of soldiers to join the army. This is a very common thing in the Kingdom of Shao Ming. Every time when the army wants to expand, he must come to the Mercenary Guild to post a notice to let these mercenaries know and see if there are any hopes to join. Mercenaries from the Shao Ming Kingdom will come to sign up and include them. The combat experience of these mercenaries should be much better than those of recruits who have never fought.

Although the population of the Kingdom of Shao Ming has reached more than 700,000, the proportion of people who have obtained citizenship is still not high. Only more than 200,000 of the 700,000 people are citizens of the Kingdom of Shao Ming. , The others are just ordinary free citizens of the Shao Ming Kingdom and do not enjoy many preferential treatments, such as free medical care.

In this era, seeing a doctor is a big problem. Not everyone can get sick. A common cold and diarrhea may take a person's life. Therefore, in ancient times in human history, every outbreak of plague would take the lives of countless people.

Citizens of the Shao Ming Kingdom can get a certain amount of living security. Even if they are severely ill and cannot recover for a short time and cannot work, the state will naturally provide them with certain subsidies to support them.

At the same time, citizens of the Shao Ming Kingdom have some powers to elect lower-level officials. This is what Shao Yu learned from some basic systems of ancient Greece and Rome, and he wanted to use this to mobilize the people's enthusiasm for joining the army. From a practical point of view, it is quite effective.

There are still many participants in this conscription. The main reason is that the Shao Ming Kingdom’s wars always seem to be victorious. After the civilians join the army, themselves and their families can become citizens of the Shao Ming Kingdom and enjoy preferential treatment.

Therefore, the army expansion movement of the Shao Ming Kingdom began again.
