Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 583 Oolong Incident

It is said that the Second Highness had an oolong incident at the White Lion Corps' resident, and made a big joke. The cause of the incident was that His Royal Highness was deeply dissatisfied with the status quo of the White Lion Corps and was preparing to rectify it. First, the commander of the legion Seiberg, who had heard the news, was scolded bloody, and he was waiting to send off, and then he ordered the sound of the assembly horn to call all the soldiers of the White Lion Corps who went to work. come back.

As a result, after the three-way horn passed, more than half an hour had passed before a dozen soldiers from the White Lion Corps came back lazily, complaining constantly about who was so boring to play the rallying number and delayed everyone's earning money to support their families... His Royal Highness was furious and scolded the dozen or so soldiers, and then let them go...

As one of the two regular regiments of the New Christian Empire, the family members of the soldiers of the White Lion regiment have preferential taxation and superior status. Speaking of which, this is also what the Second Highness learned from the Norton family’s kind treatment of their own family armed soldiers. Although it is impossible to give the two regiments under his command the same treatment as the Norton family’s armed forces, a little tax reduction and exemption will give the soldiers’ families a little care in all aspects. His Royal Highness can still do it. Therefore, becoming a soldier of these two regular legions is a very honorable thing and it is also a thing that allows those who sign up to break the ground.

In the mind of the Second Highness, expelling these more than a dozen soldiers from the legion is already a severe punishment. If it weren’t for too many soldiers who also went to work, the Second Highness would have wanted to kill the chickens and insult the monkeys, but the law would not blame the public. The implementation of military laws that really need to be implemented may arouse the anger of soldiers who go to work, and it is easy to break out of mutiny. After thinking about it, His Royal Highness decided to kick them out of the Legion. Without tax relief and various preferential treatments, I promised that these soldiers would regret it, and cry on the ground, begging to forgive them...

It's just that the dozen or so soldiers were ecstatic when they heard that His Royal Highness asked them to get out of the White Lions Legion: "That's great, I will go home and take my wife and children to Yunkasandra to become naturalized immediately..."

"Well, I'll go too. Last time I went home, my father complained that I shouldn't have come to sign up for the army. Our next door neighbor family went to Yunga Chandra Province. Not only did we divide the fields and houses, we also found a job in the kiln. , I can earn more than ten Golden Fortune a year..."

"Well, let's go together, go home first and tell the family the good news..."

Second Highness: "..."

I always feel that something is wrong. My Royal Highness looked at the cheerfulness of the dozen or so soldiers who had been kicked out of the barracks. They didn’t look like they were about to beg for mercy. He was wondering that there was another group of soldiers who had returned from work entering the camp. The ten or so soldiers were disqualified and rolled out of the White Lion Corps. The envy and jealousy in their eyes were so obvious that they couldn’t stop them. They all rushed towards the Second Highness, shouting: "Your Majesty, we also violated military discipline, please Drive us out too..."

His Royal Highness was a little bored, pointing at the ten or so soldiers who were about to leave and shouted: "Wait a minute, before you get out of the legion, leave your equipment behind. That is the property of the legion. You can't take it away..."

Unexpectedly, the dozen or so soldiers retorted: "This is our own purchase, belongs to our private property, and has nothing to do with the Legion!"

Nonsense! This is obviously standard equipment, armor made of fine iron, a set of at least forty Golden Ford, how can these poor people afford it! However, the Second Highness also felt a little strange in his heart, didn't he have such a good standard iron armor for the White Lion Army?

Even the more than 50,000 sets of standard armors of the White Lion Legion refined by the former Christian Empire that Lorister gave back for free, after many wars, most of them were damaged and lost, and the remaining was only 10,000. Many sets, the Second Royal Highness have all recycled into the standard equipment of the Royal Guard. A few years ago, the two legions were reorganized. The Second Highness remembered that most of the rations he rationed to the White Lion Legion were crude leather armor. The iron armor was only a thousand, and most of them were stripped off from the dead, and they had not been renovated.

But now what happened to the fine iron armor of the same style of the White Lion Legion soldiers? The Second Highness discovered that the White Lion Legion had almost changed its appearance. After a closer look, his mind was concentrated, it was clearly an extremely elite legion. , Even more capable and powerful than the Royal Guards he built vigorously. Among other things, there are more and more soldiers returning to the camp. They are fully armored and disciplined. As soon as they enter the camp, they quickly form a square formation according to their respective formations, and they are murderous in silence...

"Your Majesty, the equipment on their bodies is indeed their private property, and they are all purchased with their own money. Because of the quality and protection of the weapons, equipment and leather armor of the Legion, no one wants to wear them, so the soldiers pay for themselves. Buy these arms and weapons. And those allotted by the legion are piled up in the warehouse, and there are account books to check..." The Seberg knight, who had just been scolded by the side, came out to testify.

"This, is it possible?" The Second Highness pointed to the array of battle formations in surprise: "This is forty to fifty thousand people! They don't have two Golden Ford's military salaries a year, at least they can buy it for 20 years without food or drink. Get up with the armor, and where can they buy more of the same standard armor?"

"This is true, Your Majesty." The Seberg Knight was also a little embarrassed: "The Norton family armed forces in the city of Bruvia defeated the business alliance armed forces. The two hundred thousand business alliance armed forces were almost wiped out. The Norton family There were countless armed captures. These weapons and armors were actually taken from the prisoners armed by the commercial alliance. The Norton family armed forces looked down on them, so they were sold to the soldiers of the White Lion Army at a low price."

"How cheap is it? Maybe we can..." The Second Highness became interested. The Norton Family Armed Forces didn't want to sell it to me. Maybe they could get a batch of free armaments from the Norton Family for free.

Knight Seberg shook his head in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I also wanted to purchase a batch of seized military supplies in the name of the White Lions to refurbish the White Lions, but the Norton family rejected this proposal. They Say not to sell to our army, but soldiers can buy them with their own pockets, so that even when they are discharged from the army, they can bring these standard armor and weapons home, which is considered as a personal benefit. Because this is related to the battlefield As for the life-saving issue, the reward for our White Lions' participation in the battle was given out, so the soldiers bought a set if they had money. I know that the cheapest set only sells eight large silver coins..."

puff! His Highness clenched his teeth and didn't let himself spit out the blood. Eight big silver coins. This is simply the price of cabbage in the price of cabbage. One golden feast is worth twenty big silver coins. The market price of this set of standard fine iron armor is worth more than forty golden feasts. What kind of great bargain is this? Ah, how could it fall on the heads of these white lion soldiers?

"No, the Norton family still have these captured standard armor and weaponry? I, I will pay for it, one, no, two goldfords to buy a set." The second His Royal Highness's eyes were red, and his nostrils were also It's thick, and whoever doesn't take advantage of it. Besides, two Golden Ford coins are expensive compared to eight large silver coins. The Second Highness thinks that the price is very suitable.

But Knight Seberg’s answer seemed to pour cold water on the Second Royal Highness: “It’s long gone, Your Majesty. Except for the soldiers of the White Lion Corps who bought their own outfits, some of the captured armaments were equipped with the Freedom League. The newly formed garrison, all the remaining credits were given to the armed forces of the four countries that had been restored to Manaqiu Pingyuan. They were sold at a 30% discount, and a set of equipment weapons and armor was worth about 30 Jinfu. "

His Royal Highness was very disappointed and angry. He made it clear that this was the ghost of the Norton family. He sold such good fine iron armor and weapons to the soldiers of his White Lion Legion at such a low price. This is not an attempt to divorce. Is your relationship with the White Lions? At this moment, His Royal Highness had forgotten his original intention when he treated the White Lions as cannon fodder, and forgot that he often owed the White Lions military expenses and payment. In his eyes only the set of fine iron armors worn by the soldiers of the White Lion Corps, as well as the sharp weapons and equipment in his hands...

All kingdoms and legions of the Gailint subcontinent will not prohibit their armed personnel from purchasing weapons and weapons. This allows armed personnel to use weapons they are good at and familiar with to exert greater power on the battlefield. On the other hand, there are also To help reduce the burden on weaponry and military expenditures, it even hopes that all armed personnel will use their own weapons. The Elephant White Lion Corps is now a good example of self-provided weapons.

His Royal Highness is now looking at the weapons and standard armors prepared by the White Lion Corps soldiers, but he has no excuse to deprive the soldiers of the equipment privately owned. After thinking about it for a long time, His Royal Highness finally made a difficult decision: "Seberg, I am going to purchase the standard armor and weaponry on them at a high price of five Kingfords. You give an order for them to combine these armors with All weapons and equipment are taken off and put in order. After a while, I will give them gold coins..."

"It's impossible!" Knight Seberg immediately rejected the order of the Second Highness. The contemptuous look in his eyes made the Second Highness feel particularly dazzling and embarrassed: "No one is a fool, Your Majesty. If I announce this order in public now If you do, you will immediately feel the consequences of the outburst of anger from the soldiers of the entire legion. Even if you are the Emperor of the Empire, you cannot use such a low price to buy these private property belonging to soldiers..."

"Low price? Didn't you say that they were just a set when they bought it? My five Golden Ford has already doubled ten times. You can't be too greedy, do you understand? Captain Seberger!" Annoyed into anger.

"These are weapons and armors used by soldiers to keep their lives on the battlefield. Last time, the caravan of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce came up with 35 Kingfords to buy a set, but no one wanted to sell them! Many soldiers were prepared to take this Sets of armor and weapons are passed on to their descendants as family heirlooms, so I wonder why your Majesty thinks that a set of five Golden Fords can purchase the armor and weapons of these soldiers. Could it be possible that one Golden Ford can be used as ten? "The commander of Seberger didn't save any face to the second majesty, so he directly came back.

His Highness's face flushed red, but he couldn't make it out because he wanted to get angry. Fortunately, this acquisition order was not issued, otherwise no one can guarantee that it will trigger a mutiny. The caravan of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce offered a purchase price of 35 Kingford, and the soldiers of the White Lion Corps did not sell their own weapons or armor. Then the Second Highness ordered him to buy at a high price of five Golden Ford. If this news is spread, it will only make people laugh, and it will confirm the Second Highness's reputation for greed.

In fact, His Royal Highness has a good vision. These fine iron armors worn on the soldiers of the White Lion Corps are indeed worth more than forty Golden Ford. If you add those matching standard spears, shields and swords, they may be available on the market. The price will be more than fifty Jinford. Especially for large quantities of armors of the same style and standard, in the forging industry that is dominated by manual work, the price may not only not be cheap, but there is also a great possibility that it will rise by 10% or 20%. After all, it is not a piece to make the same style. It's easy.

That is, because the Norton family uses large-scale hydraulic machinery for forging, it greatly reduces the need for manpower and has the ability to use die forging and hydraulic devices to create large quantities of weapons and standard equipment. However, since the last time the Commercial Alliance sent a large number of great swordsmen to the north to prepare for the assassination and the battle against the Storm Sword Master, the Norton family's hydraulic forging machinery has been exposed. The Commercial Alliance re-established the Wissia Chamber of Commerce, which is well-known for forging, and imitated some hydraulic machinery and achieved obvious results. Therefore, it was able to forge a large number of refined iron-style armors and weapons to equip the commercial alliance.

As the commander of Seberger said, these weapons and standard iron armor are indeed the life-saving support of the White Lions soldiers. Although the Gailint subcontinent is the world of fighting spirit, the fighting spirit level above silver can flash sword light on the weapon, unstoppable. But for these ordinary soldiers, a strong protective iron armor is still the biggest reliance for protecting themselves and defeating the enemy.

For example, an enemy without fighting spirit, even with a good weapon, may not be able to break the protection of the fine iron armor of the White Lion Corps soldiers, and the enemy with the bronze and black iron fighting spirit level may only be protected by the fine iron armor. The soldiers of the White Lion Corps were hit hard and could not be lethal. As for the enemies above the silver rank that can flash sword light on their weapons, if they are dealing with soldiers wearing leather armor, they may kill nearly a hundred talents and exhaust their fighting spirit. But when confronted with a soldier wearing fine iron armor, he would be exhausted by killing at most ten people. Because breaking these fine iron armors will consume a lot of vindictiveness and sword light.

At this time, the Second Highness realized that he was already riding a tiger and couldn't find the steps to step down. He didn't know what to say in the face of the soldiers of the White Lion Legion who had assembled in battle. First, he took the equipment on the soldiers as being issued by the legion and wanted them to unload it. Later, because they wanted to buy the equipment of these soldiers at a low price, they were rejected by the Seiberg Army Commander face-to-face, and directly put the Second Highness on the stage.

From the inner feelings, His Royal Highness wanted to lose his temper and reprimanded the soldiers who ran to work for the Norton family without doing their job properly, and then kicked them out of the White Lions. But the dozen or so soldiers who left happily just now have given the Second Highness enough vigilance. Maybe this is a good thing the soldiers below are eager to do. It is useless to scold them because they are in arrears with military expenses and payment. These soldiers go to find work...

Seeing the soldiers of the White Lion Legion neatly lined up in battle, the Second Highness has a headache. If you really want to rebuild the White Lion Legion, all the soldiers who lined up in front of you next time may be covered in tatters. Soldiers in leather armor. Even if I doubt why the relationship between the White Lions and the Norton family is so friendly and harmonious, the Second Highness has to admit in my heart that the current White Lions are indeed an elite group. If they are disbanded, will they all go to the Norton family? This Don't you add to yourself? Maybe the Norton family will use these soldiers to build a new family armed corps...

But now how to deal with this White Lion Legion is really a big problem, and it is obviously no longer appropriate to deploy it here. It is purely to increase the Norton family's ability to build fortresses and fish. After thinking about it, the Second Highness finally figured out a way, and turned around to give an order to the Seiberg Corps commander, that is, to move to the central region in April next year to smooth out the banditry there. This time it was really going to suppress the bandits, not to block the trade routes of the four alliances in the Northland.

"His Majesty gave such an order to the White Lion Corps and left in despair, and did not adjust any personnel of the White Lion Corps~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The above is the report of Lord El, the commander of the Iron Guard Corps. He. Ask your Royal Highness that the commander of Seberger has made a request, hoping that in April next year, the White Lions can go to the central area through the Egret Lake Swamp Main Road in Yungosandra Province to carry out the suppression operation. Will our family let it go?" Genori Ao reports to Lorist Exchange.

Yunga Chandra Province is the jurisdiction of the Norton family, so the White Lion Corps that belongs to the Imperial Legion must apply in advance if they want to pass. If Lorist refuses, the White Lion Corps will have to take the southern route to Porto Ao. In Ergé Province, the route from Fede Lijia to the King’s City is almost half a circle, more than doubling the itinerary.

Lorist tapped his fingers on the desktop, and nodded for a while and said: "Of course let go. The White Lions are old friends of our family. We are happy to help. But we can tell El by eagle and let him ask. Commander of the Lower Seberger. It’s the end of November. If the White Lions are willing, we can use a sled cart to send the entire White Lions to the central region in the snow-covered winter at the end of December and the beginning of January. Save them from the pain of long journeys after the rainy season..."

"Okay, I'll write to Master El." Genorio said, "But your Highness, whether you will reply to the letter of protest from His Majesty the Emperor, it has been nearly a month. "

"Hehe," Lorist laughed: "Forget that letter of protest, we shall assume that nothing has happened. I only hope that our Majesty can become a little smarter after the lessons of these two things, and don’t get old. He stared at our family with greedy eyes and wanted to take advantage of nothing. He should take good care of the people's livelihood and internal affairs of the empire, instead of only knowing to use force to threaten others to satisfy their own selfish desires..."
