Proof of the Sun King
Vol 2 Chapter 979: , army hot pot
Just when the Wolfenburg army was under pressure, the capital of Hawke was Herzig.
The time has entered the beginning of March, and Herzig is still very cold, but it is no longer uncomfortably cold. The army is currently resting in Herzig.
The stay of the army not only did not bring trouble to Herzig, but instead formed a huge deformed prosperity. A steady stream of various logistical supplies and military salaries from the southern part of the empire arrived at the front line one after another. The army stationed here not only did not appear because there were too many troops. The chaos that formed was, on the contrary, because of the large number of garrisoned troops, the public order in Hawke and Herzig was unprecedentedly stable.
This made Edbrand, the elector of Hawke, secretly relieved, especially because Lane's army was extremely strict. Even under the garrison, the Brittany army still had to carry out very strict drills, and the management of knights was very strict. It was the Duke of Perhemond and Morgiana doing it again, which kept the Bretons well disciplined and didn't disturb the people.
In Middenheim, the most stringent arrests are still strict, except for those white wolf knights who are prone to drunkenness and whistling at women.
The king of knights was sitting in his room, dealing with the mountains of various documents. As the commander of the army and the king, Ryan not only didn't have time to make out with Morgiana, Veronica, Teresa and others these days. , on the contrary, there are so many things.
As the king, Ryan had to read most of the documents and inquiries on various specific matters, including a large number of requests from the army under his command and the opinions between the nobles, as well as the list of military supplies and the distribution of military salaries, as well as a large number of reports from the empire. and army movements, as well as the scattered information obtained by a small number of scouts entering Ostland.
The multitude of chores made Ryan quite irritable, but the King of Knights knew that there was no way out. After all, as the king and coach, he had better look at many things in person. Only in this way can the smooth operation of the entire system be guaranteed. Control corruption as much as possible.
Of course, it is necessary to control a certain degree, not to ignore all of them, that is to completely decentralize, and not to see all of them, it will exhaust oneself to death, the typical ones are the Prime Minister and Lao Zhu.
To put it simply, the big things are seen, the small things are checked immediately, and the heavy punches are attacked at any time. This is the style of Ryan's ruling. Fortunately, the King of Knights is full of energy.
At the same time, a personal love letter from Emilia was also sent to Ryan.
"His Majesty, the lion of Jien City, the great knight king Ryan Malcador who has accomplished countless miracles, hereby congratulate you on your great victory in the battle of the three kings."
"You are my love, the object of my heart, and my feelings and love for you are beyond words."
"The moment I received the letter, I had already decided to go to Herzig in person to meet you."
"Because I want to reach out to the you who cared and cared for me as soon as possible~"
"My child's father, please wait for my good news."
"Imperial Countess Emmanuel von Loebowitz-Bernardino."
"Sincerely, salute."
On the envelope was a faint bright red lip print.
"Oh~ that's great~ There are also love letters! Since we met Ryan, he has written me no more than two love letters!" Veronica was wearing a set of Shedai Rose Herzig graceful today. Classical long dress, the neckline is very low, the buttons on the chest are not fastened, the proud plump is held tightly by the collar, and a deep and attractive ravine is drawn, and the straight and symmetrical slender jade is wrapped around a pair of The ultra-thin black pattern pantyhose with delicate texture and a pair of lace-up high-heeled shoes with black and red soles, the proud female speaker is as attractive as a fully blooming flower, but unfortunately she is full of jealousy now, holding the He read Emilia's love letter aloud, and then said indignantly, "Lane, are you very relaxed, and you still have time to write a love letter with your Lady of the Countess?"
"Ryan has never written a love letter to me." Teresa is now Ryan's private secretary, and the sorceress is wearing a standard OL attire today. The black extended trench coat + white forged shirt and hip skirt make her full of energy The temperament of a white-collar beauty, the silver jacquard pattern on the thick black stockings and the silver chain on the high-heeled boots are the finishing touches.
"Tsk tsk tsk, now my dear ones don't look down on us little witches~" Veronica said sourly.
"That's for sure. Lane's favorite is probably those court ladies, right?" Teresa also followed along with the rhythm. The sorceress's face was flushed, and she was furious. Lane and her had known her for so long, from the beginning to the beginning. Tai has never written a love letter to her!
She doesn't even have the capital to show off!
"Yes, my dear, His Royal Highness Morgiana said that arrangements should be arranged, at least two letters per person!" Veronica waved Emilia's love letter in her hand unhappily, and then put it down. On Ryan's desk: "And the quality must pass the test!"
"Isn't it one? How did it become two?" Ryan sat back and looked at the document with a wry smile. The Knight King's face was a little tired. I promised each of you a letter, so don't force me again, right?"
"How can one letter be enough?" Teresa said angrily, "Morgiana said you would write her two letters, so..."
Ryan looked at the sorceress's indignant look a little funny, and the king of knights stretched out his finger and gently poked at Teresa's waist: "Pull~"
"Hmm!" Teresa's body suddenly softened like an electric shock, and the sorceress stretched out her hand and hammered Ryan on the body in shame and annoyance. She covered her waist and eyes, which were sore and numb now.
"Don't look away!" Veronica put her hands on her hips, the fullness of her chest jumped back and forth, and the female speaker said indignantly: "You just say you don't write it!"
"This matter is not important now." Ryan quickly pulled out a new document from the pile of documents: "Dear, I have a task for you, a very important task."
"What mission?" Veronica's attention was diverted.
"A large number of new supplies have arrived at Herzig Wharf along the Tarabek River. Veronica, you go to count and contact the logistics quartermaster of the empire." Ryan took out the document and wrote a note to Vero Nika: "Bertrand and Raymond will assist you, remember to spot check immediately."
"Okay, okay, I'll go take a look for you." Veronica also knew that business was important, and Witch Garland reached out and took the small note, and went out with a twist.
As soon as Veronica went out, Ryan and Teresa were left in the room. The sorceress wanted to run away when she saw Ryan's malicious eyes, but unfortunately she was sore and soft, so she quickly changed the subject: "Why Let Veronica go? Aren't Lawn and Talleyrand specifically in charge of this?"
"Laun is from a military aristocracy, and he is not very clear about the crooked ways of his subordinates. As for that guy Talleyrand, if he is not restrained, all he will do is to share an extra share." Ryan stretched out his hand and placed Teresa directly. Pulled over and let her sit on his lap with his back against him. The sorceress's delicate body was very comfortable to hold coldly. Ryan inhaled the aroma of the lavender on her black waist-length hair and said softly: "As for Beibei Tron and Raymond don't know enough about the logistics system and are easily deceived."
"Is it the quartermaster?" Teresa struggled in Ryan's arms for a while, and she relaxed when she saw that she had no strength, and allowed Ryan to take off her boots and wipe oil all over her long black silk legs. The sorceress said unconvinced: "Then I can do it too, why let Veronica go?"
"Hahahaha, that's because you have other tasks." Ryan smiled more and more maliciously.
"What... a mission?" Teresa complained and looked forward to it.
"We still have so many documents to deal with!" Ryan brought another stack of documents from the side, and the King of Knights put away his malicious expression: "Really, not fighting is more tiring than fighting."
"Relax a little for half an hour, how about it?" Theresa leaned against Ryan's arms, and she whispered, "I feel a little weird lately, always..."
"Then, you have to keep your voice down!"
"I, I try my best."
…………I am the dividing line in a low voice…………
Old Guards barracks near Christopher Castle.
Bertrand-Eye of the Old Guard, commander of the halberd battalion of the Old Guard, Raymond Mountbatten, led forty or fifty old guards in winter coats and armed with weapons, following Vero. Behind Nika, they are going to check the newly arrived military supplies and military pay today.
Raymond has had the right to have a surname since he got the title of knight. The old guard battalion commander, who was a serf in his thirties, got olive branches from many noble families. In the end, he chose to accept the famous local name of Mousillon. The invitation of the noble Lord Philip Mountbatten to register his surname as Mountbatten can be regarded as officially accepted by the nobles.
After Veronica handed the note to Bertrand, she naturally became the leader of the crowd. The charming and sweet-smelling female speaker brought everyone to go to the Hawker's Collar Pier to welcome the arrival of the imperial transport fleet. Veronica's dress is quite hot. There are many people peeking and pointing at her along the way. Veronica doesn't care about this. As a witch, she has to face these things, and she has been used to it for decades.
"Ms. Veronica, this is the current Herzig." The old guard commander Bertrand's forehead flashed the holy emblem of Tarr. His mustache today was obviously trimmed and decorated, making it special Stylish, Bertrand followed Veronica and said to her: "Very deformed prosperity, too many people rely on our army to fill their stomachs."
"Yes, everyone knows that soldiers have money in their pockets. Every day after we finish our meal, there is a large group of refugees waiting for the leftovers outside the door. There are small vendors with stalls everywhere at the entrance of the military camp, and those queuing up. The women who are waiting to sell themselves are mostly Kislev women." Raymond exhaled white mist from his mouth when he spoke, and the old guard battalion commander said to Veronica: "Now the Herzig refugees are completely dependent on With the spending power of our troops on the back, I can't imagine what would have happened if we had withdrawn."
"That's what happened after we evacuated." Veronica's voice was sweet, but her attitude was cold: "That's not something we should consider, the soldiers' consumption is already another way of life for the refugees. , and also, keep the military minutes fast, don't disturb Ryan, he has enough things."
"Please rest assured, Ms. Veronica, I have always strictly managed military discipline. Except on the day of vacation, all soldiers can only go out for a while after dinner at most. We implement a strict curfew system, unless the soldiers do not want to It's done." Bertrand thought for a while, but shook his head again: "But we can't control anything else, especially those serf infantry regiments, it is said that they like to go to the Kislev women the most to spend money."
Veronica can only shake her head helplessly. It is really hard to stop this kind of thing that you love and I wish. The management of the serf infantry cannot be as strict as the management of a fully professional army like the Old Guard. As for the knight master We... There is no such requirement in the eight virtues of knighthood. It is said that the Duke of Berhemond himself has bought many Kislev girls as his maids!
no! I'm going to keep an eye on Ryan! Veronica thought so, otherwise, who knows if there will be a new Xiaobichi to share resources?
A new anecdote emerged from the small talk of a few people.
Every day for the past week or two, a large number of poor people have gathered near the Barracks of the Brittany Army, waiting for the Brittanian Army to sell the leftovers.
Among the military supplies provided by the empire, many of the meat are large imperial black forest sausages, which are used to provide the Bretons as meat, but most of the Bretons are not used to this kind of meat. Heavy-flavored sausages, if it is an ordinary serf infantry regiment, it is fine, after all, it is meat, but the knights, the old guard and the engineer artillery will not force themselves, they would rather buy them from the market with military pay The fresh meat is cooked on a small stove by himself, and he does not like to eat the heavy-flavored sausages of the Empire.
This leads to a lot of waste of sausages.
The sly high elf, Mr. De Talleyrand-Maurice-Benister, Lane's personal courtier, suddenly thought of a book of getting rich. Talleyrand asked him to collect sausages and leftovers that were despised by the knights and the old guards. Leftovers are taken to the outside of the military camp and sold to the poor and refugees in Hawke at a very cheap price.
I, Talleyrand, are also a great philanthropist!
For just a few copper coins, you can get two hard brown bread and a piece of sausage for a few copper coins, while stocks last! What you buy is what you earn, and you won't come again when you can't miss it. Welcome new and old friends to come and buy!
The poor and refugees are grateful. In a place like Hawkerling where materials are scarce and rare, these leftovers are the only source of meat for many people. A few copper coins are good and cheap, and they are very popular.
The Bretons sold these sausages to avoid waste, in line with the spirit of chivalry, and the knights and old guards were also satisfied that they had done good things, and suddenly felt that they had noble virtues.
In the end, Talleyrand made a lot of money from this business. Although the price was cheap, the cripple, who had no cost at all, relied on quantity to win, and his small treasury became more and more thick.
Everyone was very happy. Hawk led the people back home with these leftovers, boiled water and threw the things into the pot, added some salt and local sauce, and simmered them together. He ate the meat happily.
The boiling cauldron, the hot food, the curling white smoke, and a few people cooking and eating in the house are the only solace in the dark age.
This kind of food is called "troop hot pot".
Bertrand and Raymond were really dumbfounded when they talked about this.
Veronica burst into laughter after hearing this story, and the Speaker of the Sorceress Guild laughed so much that her hands were on her hips and she almost passed out.
What a cunning cripple! To be able to come up with such an idea!
Veronica suddenly felt that she still had to broaden her thinking. The anecdote was over~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After everyone laughed, Herzig's pier was in sight.
However, today's situation is somewhat different. In addition to a large number of transport ships bringing in new materials, several large warships and a large passenger ship have priority to dock at the port.
The hatch opened, shining armor and crimson feathers, and a group of well-armed royal knights appeared on the dock, headed by a tall general with the image of a typical brave warrior.
His armor is polished like a mirror, his strong arms are as tough as he is, and, of course, his trademark long waxed mustache and his distinctive eagle-winged helmet.
Rick Marshal Heilberg led the Rick Guards, the Kronborg Great Sword Regiment, and the Brunswick Glory Guards to arrive!
He was also accompanied by the Emperor's personal champion, the imperial flag-holder, and the sanctuary powerhouse Ludwig Schwarzhammer! The white-bearded grandfather was tall, strong, and unsmiling, but he led the soldiers to land calmly.
Veronica's face changed slightly, she didn't have time to go up to say hello, another new warship also docked!
On the warship hangs the city heraldic banner of the golden lion scale on a black background from Noor!
Noor's army has also arrived!
The Noor Ironclad Army and the Imperial Countess's personal guard, the Black Stone Guard, quickly landed from the warship, and they immediately lined up in two very neat lines. The Noor Grand Marshal Earl Stein and Noor Justice Theodore Brook Na got off the boat one after another, then stood on both sides and waited.
A gorgeous figure appeared from the cabin, her bright red dress like flames and the black and gold coat outside made her look more noble and sacred.
"Long time no see, Ms. Veronica!"
"How are you doing?"
