Chapter 274

In the twinkling of an eye, summer has passed, when the west wind gradually rises. In October, when the busy farming season ended, recruitment notices were posted in several towns at the junction of Desa and nurin provinces. The notice is a conscription order signed by the Duke of tulip, the Lord of the province of DESAR, and the governor of the province of nurin, Bohan.

Duke tulip got permission from the Imperial military command to recruit soldiers across the border. He planned to recruit about two infantry reserve divisions and a cavalry Reserve Division in nurin Province, a total of 60000 people.

Such a large-scale conscription order, let the whole northwest in an uproar!

To people's surprise, in his announcement, the Duke of tulip set a higher salary for the private soldiers of tulip family than for the officers and soldiers. Under such circumstances, the situation in Northwest China, which had been gradually calmed down, has become lively again!

For the first time in so many years, such a large-scale conscription has taken place. It is a heavy burden to levy 60000 people at one time, even though the population of nurin province is twice that of Desa province.

However, to the surprise of the outside world, it seems that governor Bohan of nurin province has given quite a lot of support to this matter, even at the expense of the population, and abandoned many of the government affairs before the winter. A large number of grass-roots officials and some garrison troops were dispatched to various recruitment sites to maintain order.

Du Wei, on the other hand, sent Gaida, who had the reputation of "little 250", to be in charge of conscription. This guy is a little rude, but he is a good leader of cavalry. He is responsible for assisting Gaida. It is knight Robert, commander of infantry division of tulip family.

According to the secret deal between Dewey and governor Bohan, there were two infantry divisions, one for each family. And a cavalry division is divided equally.

Close to the border between the two provinces. In Duwei's territory, a barracks has been built, which will be further expanded and built into a permanent military fortress in the next year. It's a military city with 100000 troops. Geographically, such a military fortress also played a certain role in restraining the northwest army.

Conscription is very busy and complicated. Dewey has ordered the procedure to be strictly followed. Try to avoid allowing people from hostile forces to mix into your own army. With the cooperation of governor Bohan, every conscripted soldier should carefully investigate the other's native place and background.

Fortunately, Bohan has been operating in nurin province for many years, and he has a good foundation in this aspect of administrative work.

In addition, Dewey also ushered in a good news.

Du Wei's old friend, commander bainrich of the northern snow wolf mercenary regiment, also visited Du Wei with the latest batch of goods a month ago. At the same time, he expressed his wish: many retired old mercenaries after a lifetime of adventure. After quitting the adventure career, these men who used to lick blood on the edge of the knife are often miserable. Although some people have a lot of savings, but more people are not good at financial management, or perennial adventure life. They have developed the habit of drinking and gambling and so on. They are often extravagant and difficult to live.

After all, these people are old mercenaries with special skills, although most of them are retired mercenaries. More or less because of old age, or even disability, but after all, it's a pity that these experienced mercenaries are left to fend for themselves.

After hearing what bainrich said, Dewey immediately made a face-to-face decision: he accepted all the retired mercenaries of snow wolf mercenary regiment in the future.

These people, after all, risk their lives. Although they are old or disabled, their martial arts skills are still there. Even if they can't be used as soldiers, it's absolutely appropriate to send them to the barracks to serve as instructors and train the new soldiers' martial arts skills!

Beinrich was very grateful for Duwei's generosity, and immediately joined up with several small and medium-sized local mercenaries he was familiar with. Some retired brothers were sent.

thus. Dewey, of course, sent his personal feelings to each other, but in fact. It has also greatly solved the problem of shortage of manpower.

Governor Bohan's conscription was in full swing. And Dewey is not idle here.

According to the command of the Imperial military headquarters, 20000 cavalry troops stationed on the grassland finally arrived at Loulan city and settled in the barracks outside the city.

Dewey left the matter to general lombarton. According to the secret agreement between Duwei and Prince Chen, Duwei can keep 6000 cavalry!

Dewey's expectations of these 6000 cavalry are very high! After all, these men are not new recruits, they are all experienced and well-trained elite cavalry, and many of them are old men of lombarton. After receiving them, they can form combat effectiveness in a short time.

In this matter, Du Wei didn't have the slightest courtesy with Prince Chen. He asked longbutton to take the military order to the camp outside the city, and let the 20000 cavalry come out in formation. Then longbutton went to select one team by one, and intercepted all the best young men in each team. After that, the 6000 people selected from the 20000 cavalry are definitely an elite one!

At last, with a stroke of his pen, Dewey intercepted all those who had been Longbottom's old subordinates from the list of officers. In this way, although he returned 14000 people to Prince Chen, the real strongest fighting power has been left under Du Wei's hands.

Du Wei's share of the grassland people's compensation for the war horse was all given to Longbottom to supplement the cavalry. As for the 10000 pieces of cowhide... Dewey sent someone to transport them to giliat city. Less than five days after 10000 pieces of cowhide were delivered to giliat City, the sky of giliat city said, "of course." Dewey replied: "that's the symbol of the royal family. When our ancestor Marshal Lorraine made great contributions, the emperor married a princess to him... Because of this marriage, the Lorraine family was included in the royal family and became the royal family." Philip gave a little smile, and then said, "look... How similar it is to today's situation." Du Wei a frown, still some don't understand Philip's words. Philip has continued: "this is the royal family's first move against the Rowling family! First, the alliance. Anyway, marshal Rowling's loyalty to the royal family is well known, and the royal family does not worry about his rebellion, so they use this kind of long-term soft knife to deal with the Rowling family... Because the royal family will never tolerate any other family's too strong influence. The first princess married to the Rowling family, so that the Rowling family had a royal relationship in name. The descendants of Marshal Rowling had royal blood... From this point of view. Your highness, in fact, you also have some royal blood“ Go on Dewey guessed a little“ From the perspective of pedigree, according to the generally accepted standard, it is three generations! In other words, the son of Marshal Lorraine and the princess. He became the succeeding head of the Rowling family, but the head of the Rowling family had half of the royal blood in terms of blood! Well, according to the Royal plan. If the second Earl of Rowling is married to the royal family, then the third Earl will have three-quarters of the royal blood!! My lord... If three-quarters of the blood on a person's body is royal, and only one-quarter is Rowling's, please tell me, is he Royal? Or is it Rowling? Well, if that's not enough... Then it's time for the next generation. How can the royal family marry him again?! So how much of the blood of the Rowling family is left in the future generations? " This problem makes everyone feel cold! Finally, Phillip said with a smile: "as long as the marriage with the royal family for three generations, in the end, the family will naturally be merged by the royal family!" Dewey's face had gradually darkened, and he thought of something! Sure enough! Philip's face changed, too, and he said in a low voice, "back then. If I guess right. The Rowling family's military contribution is too great, and its influence in the military is also worrying. The royal family took this kind of soft knife to deal with the Rowling family, slowly cut, at most three generations later, the Rowling family will be swallowed by the royal family. But... I didn't expect that there was a stubble in the back, which finally disrupted the royal family's long-term plan. " Speaking of this, Philip looked up at Dewey and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I have read history and know that one of your ancestors, the Earl of Rowling, was supposed to marry the royal family at that time, but this Earl of Rowling is a kind of lover. Despite the opposition of his family and outsiders, he fell in love with a famous astrologer at that time! And finally married the astrologer... Right? Such a move made the royal family very dissatisfied. Later, the count... Died young, and his successor was young. As a result, the family of Rowling fell down for a while. It was only later that several outstanding figures appeared in the family, which revived again. " Falling in love with a female astrologer? Married to an astrologer? Of course Dewey knows who Philip is talking about! But now Philip talked about it, vaguely, as if he had something else in mind. Die young? Is there any conspiracy in it? His mind was in such a mess that Dewey didn't hear Philip's words clearly. He only vaguely heard Philip say: "the rejection of the marriage made the royal family very dissatisfied. It was said that the more than ten years after the collapse of the Rowling family was the result of suppression by all parties. In the end, because the power of the Rowling family no longer worries the royal family, it has a chance to revive. Although the later Rowling family is still known as the Wuxun family, it is far from the time of Marshal Rowling... "Du Wei's face is stiff, but suddenly he hears a faint sigh in his mind Semel!
