King’s Kingdom

Chapter 97: spring ploughing

Theodosius finally chose to hand over the right to send troops to the generals of the military region. Although the risk of rebellion has become greater, it is a matter of the future. If the problem of monster invasion is not solved now, then this year's income will be reduced. sharply reduced.

It was May, when spring returned to the earth, the gentle breeze blew away the severe cold of winter, the sun once again showed its edge, and majestically drove away the snow on the ground, showing that he was the master of the four seasons.

This time, the military regions were free from restraints. After obtaining the information of the local link army, they dispatched troops very quickly to eliminate these threats.

Creatures such as bulls, zombies and werewolves are indeed very strong, but their scale is not large. In front of the fully armed Lan Yin army, they can't make any waves at all, and they are very easily eliminated.

As for ghosts and night elves, it is more difficult to deal with, and the warriors took a lot of effort to solve them.

Ghosts do not have physical bodies, and spears and sharp blades can't harm them at all. Soldiers can only use weapons smeared with the Holy Water of the God of War Church to disperse them again and again, and keep circulating until they exhaust their souls before they are completely eliminated.

Among these monsters, the most difficult to deal with is the night elves. They are not mentally inferior like bulls and zombies, but have the same or even higher intelligence than humans. At the same time, they are not as rare as werewolves. There is no cooperation.

They have a complete tactical system, and their excellent shooting ability once brought a lot of trouble to the Lanyin warriors. If they didn't fall into the darkness and lost their ability to make elf bows, it is conceivable that the Lanyin warriors would have suffered huge losses. of casualties.

Fortunately, their number is not too large. Under the coercion of hunters and army archers, as well as the pursuit of Lan Yin warriors, they have nowhere to escape. They can only run into the dense forest to escape.

However, the elves who have fallen into the dark have lost the favor of trees and plants, and instead reject these traitors even more, so the night elves can only be wiped out in the pursuit of hounds.

Looking at the battle reports sent from various places, Theodosius' expression was also relieved a lot. The dark creatures in the seven northern counties were wiped out. It is not easy to make a comeback in a short period of time. The only thing to worry about now is the 12 southern counties. the monster.

There is no good solution for Theodosius now. The link army there has just formed a framework, the training has not yet started, and the civilians in the twelve counties are not as well-off and physically strong as the residents of the seven northern counties.

Their physical quality, fighting will, and discipline are relatively lacking. Compared with the Northern Link Army, which formed an army in three months and is capable of combat, it may take three or four years for the twelve southern counties to be capable of combat.

Moreover, before Theodosius had time to set up a military district, the regular army in the twelve counties was only a small number of soldiers guarding several castles, and a central military district regiment stationed in the city of Bo.

There are only more than 800 soldiers stationed on the land of more than 300,000 square kilometers, which shows the weakness of the military power in the southern part of the Rhine Kingdom.

Therefore, the establishment of a combat military region in the south is imminent and must be put on the agenda.

Theodosius initiated a discussion on this matter in the court. The establishment of the military district had already set the tone, and no one objected to it. Therefore, what they discussed was actually the selection of the generals of the military district and the issue of the training of troops.

The selection of generals is not too difficult, because the people of the Lanyin Kingdom are martial, and the same is true among the nobles. Most of the nobles have received good military education and training, and their combat and command literacy are very good.

Moreover, there are not many factions in the country. Most of them are more responsible and prefer to gain fame and fortune on the battlefield, rather than relying on political struggle, which also makes the politics of the Lanyin Kingdom appear to be immature.

Although they will form small groups one by one, but it is only to make themselves more comfortable in the army, far from reaching the point of forming a party.

Therefore, the candidates for the generals were quickly finalized. The generals of the two military districts were Earl Turiel and Baron Buckler.

Earl Turiel is a distant royal family member, 45 years old this year. He is quite capable and friendly. This is why he can serve as one of the generals of the military region.

The other Baron Buckler is a veteran aristocrat of the Rhine Kingdom, a branch of the current royal family in the Central Empire. When his father conquered the north with Theodosius' grandfather, he obtained the title of a baron. The Central Military Region served as a regiment commander.

Another round of conscription began. This time, the conscription was still conducted in the northern part of Lanyin. The civilians in the twelve southern counties were slightly poor in physical fitness. Not only did they have very little experience in using weapons, but they were also less disciplined in obeying orders.

Therefore, if you want to form two military regions with real combat effectiveness, you must recruit troops from the seven northern counties. It is estimated that it will take more than ten years to recruit troops from the twelve southern counties to reach the level of the north.

As a result, there were not too many young men in the north left to be drafted into the army again. They were all semi-professional soldiers with good training and physical condition. They were selected from the Linked Army~www.wuxiahere. com~ The two military districts that Theodosius planned to form were considered secondary military districts, with only 1,200 people, and the two military districts were 2,400 people.

After the two thousand people received their own weapons and equipment, they set off under the leadership of their generals and veteran officers, and went to their next stations.

After more than 2,000 people left, the number of people who could join the army in the seven northern counties was less than 3,000, and the war potential had almost been mobilized. The remaining men were either children or over forty years old, unable to serve in the army. age.

This inevitably has an impact on the northern part of Lanyin. The most obvious is that the combat effectiveness of the Link Army has further declined, and the lack of young and strong teams has been unable to undertake high-intensity operations.

In addition, the lack of strong labor has also made this year's spring ploughing more difficult. The farmers in the northern part of Lanyin originally owned a lot of land, some less than 100 acres, and more affluent 800 to 900 acres, thousands of acres. There are acres.

Without men, even if the elderly, children, and women join the battle, it is estimated that this year, there will inevitably be a decrease in food production and desolation of the land.

Theodosius can only try to avoid such a situation. He found a solution from the memory of his previous life. Although it may not be completely effective, it can at least reduce the barren area and increase the grain production.

With the efficient administrative system of the Rhine Kingdom, as well as the sparse population and villages of the seven northern counties, Theodosius ordered the village officials to organize the peasants, including cultivating oxen and horses, and deploying heavy plough tools.

In this way, one by one production brigades were quickly formed in the northern part of Lanyin. They collectively planted seeds, plowed the ground, and weeded, and the efficiency was much higher than before. As for the specific effect, it will be seen later.
