Lorist said: "As long as we can carry out pertinent thinking and perfect arrangements and layouts, then the tide of monsters will no longer be a threat."
Bodfinger said: "I think the tide of Warcraft is also very beneficial. At least it has sent us a large amount of fresh meat. Uh, sorry, I ate too much lamb..."
El said: "I want to eat vegetables, potatoes are fine, don't serve me beef, I have been eating beef and drinking beef soup every day for more than two months, now I feel like vomiting when I smell beef..."
Pat said, "I agree with El, I'm going to eat potatoes too..."
Dolles said: "In front of our chariot corps, all monsters are scum!"
Josk said: "I think the emergence of the steel crossbow designed by the adults has changed everything. Without good weapons and equipment, blood and courage alone cannot resist the tide of Warcraft."
Master Falin said: "The appearance of the steel crossbow makes us no longer afraid of the arrival of the tide of monsters. This is a great innovation in the history of crossbows. Next, we will perfect and improve the steel crossbow again. We The goal is to shoot farther, faster, stronger, more accurate... ”
Fatty Shi said: "I suggest that the reward for those who have made great contributions in resisting the tide of monsters this year is one hundred catties of magic beef per person. What do you think?"
Sedkamp said: "Good magic cowhide is the best material for making leather goods. It should be dried, tanned and kept well. The almost magic cowhide can be used to make animal skin paper. The best beef can be marinated, smoked and preserved, minced meat We can make sausages. The bones can be boiled for soup. After boiling, we can take them out and burn them into ashes to make fertilizer. We must make good use of everything that can be used. Waste is the most shameful act. But to deal with so many demon cow carcasses, the workload It's a bit big. My lord, can you send me a few thousand family soldiers to help me, it's hard for us to deal with so many demon cow corpses in a month with just these ten thousand people..."
Due to the extremely rich harvest from this wave of monsters, Lorist mobilized nearly 100,000 people in the family territory to complete the aftermath of the affairs before May.
…
On May 10th, Lorist held a new year's family knights and civil officials meeting in Rock Castle, and Fatty Shi gave a summary report on last year's work.
"...The wave of monsters last winter brought us countless furs and nearly 30 million catties of beef, mutton and other monster meat products. We can be sure that our family will no longer be short of meat in the next three years. The most inspiring The truth is that the tide of Warcraft is not a threat to us, but a grand hunting harvest... "
The audience applauded thunderously. From the despair of facing the Warcraft tide the year before to the rich harvest of the Warcraft tide last year, everyone present saw the hope of living and working in peace.
"After a whole year of hard work last year, we have perfected the defense facilities of all the reclamation villages and central towns in Fengleyuan, so we can be safe from the tide of monsters. The focus of our work this year is to improve the defense facilities of each reclamation village and central town Road construction, as well as housing construction, will allow all the people who settled in Fengleyuan to have a safe and warm home. This is not only the promise of the adults to the people, but also to those people who have worked tirelessly to follow our northbound convoy to the family territory s return… "
"In addition, we will also establish the management agencies of the seven districts of Fengleyuan to improve the grassroots management of the villages. All departments must continue to maintain the fine style of hard work and simplicity, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and in the new year Make greater contributions to the family.
Last year was a difficult year, but we finally ushered in a good harvest and joy through unremitting efforts. Last year was also a year of harvest. The various factories run by the family have made the family territory self-sufficient. We believe that under the leadership of the adults, the future of our Norton family will be even better! "
The applause was loud again, and the meeting ended successfully.
After the meeting, Lorist left behind the six golden knights, Fatty Shi, Terman, Yuri and other knights in charge of the family's armed forces, and held another meeting.
This time Lorist focused his attention on the reform of the military system.
The military system prevailing in the countries of Galintia is mainly based on the legion system. A legion is subordinate to a regiment, a regiment is subordinate to a brigade, and a brigade is subordinate to a squadron and a squadron. According to the type of arms, it is divided into a longbow squadron, a heavy armored squadron and a spearman. The squad waits.
The number of a squad is around 80 to 150 people, and a squad leader is the most basic commander. Then the squad leader appoints a few of his cronies as deputy captains to help manage a dozen or dozens of people.
Lorist was most dissatisfied with this point. Once the squad leader and vice-captain were lost during the battle, the entire squad would easily fall into chaos. What Lorist wants to do is not to overthrow the entire legion system, what he wants to do is to refine the team structure and implement squad-style management.
For this reason, Lorist's proposal was to reduce the size of the squad. A squad consisted of ten people, and a mixed organization was implemented. Instead of a single unit, the ten people had sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and longbow soldiers. Cooperate effectively in combat.
The goal that Lorist hopes to achieve is that each team can become the kind of mandarin duck formation that he has heard of in the previous life, but he has only heard of it and does not understand the changes in the combination of that kind of mandarin duck formation, but he believes that it can gradually In the era of cold weapons, a coordinated team is the most effective in a large-scale melee, regardless of its lethality or self-protection ability.
For family knights like Bodfinger, Lorist's idea was just to introduce the tactics of the mercenary squad into the family's armed forces, which was nothing out of the ordinary. In the battle cooperation of more than ten people, it is an indisputable fact that the mercenary squad is stronger than the family soldiers.
Above the squadron is the squadron, ten squadrons form a squadron, and a squadron has 100 people, and then five squadrons form a brigade, a brigade has 500 people, and above the brigade is a battalion. Three thousand men form a battalion. In Lorist's vision, this battalion was a unit capable of fighting alone.
Lorist is going to vigorously rectify the family's armed forces. First, the three garrison regiments will be disbanded. There will be more than 80 settlement villages in Fengle, and each village will form a garrison squadron with 100 people. A garrison brigade of 500 people, in addition to Fenglin Villa and the back city of Panshi Castle, also formed a garrison brigade of 500 people.
The main duty of these garrisons is to guard the town and be responsible for the security of the surrounding areas. The rectification of these garrisons will be handed over to the Golden Knight Farea, and it is required to be completed within this year.
Farea got up and took the lead.
Lorist also ordered the Golden Knight Malek to form a patrol squadron in each town, with one hundred people, to be responsible for civil and criminal cases in each town, and to manage the health and security of the town. The required personnel were retired family soldiers and Selected from the disbanded Garrison Corps.
Then Lorist slashed the disarmament machete at Bodfinger's Heavy Armored Corps and Tiger Ross' Iron Armored Lancers, asking them to form two battalions each based on Lorist's 3,000-man battalion. Soldiers who can enter these battalions must have the strength of black iron fighting spirit, be between twenty and twenty-five years old, and officers can be under thirty-five years old. Lorist emphasized that what he asked for was not quantity, but elite soldiers.
Doles' chariot regiment was also changed by Lorist to three battalions of 9,000 men. As the family's most important long-range arm, the chariot steel crossbow had replaced the position of the longbowmen, and Lorist didn't want to make a big move.
The three brigades of Yuri's scout light cavalry were reorganized into a ranger battalion of 3,000 people. Except for the elimination of age and combat strength, the rest of the retrenched troops were divided into squadrons of hundreds of people and incorporated into the security logistics brigade of each battalion. In Lorist's vision, the garrison logistics brigade of each battalion is composed of a scout light cavalry squadron, a garrison heavy armor squadron, a logistics squadron, and two supply guard squadrons. Such a battalion has 2,500 troops. The main force and the auxiliary force of 500 people can be confident of fighting alone.
Josk's cavalry bow battalion did not move. Lorist and Master Falin were already designing a new cavalry bow to replace the longbow of the cavalry bow battalion. They just tried several types of bows that didn't have the power of longbows. It's still a long way off.
Terman's Knights didn't change, but the organization was also changed by Lorist to a battalion of 3,000 people, and Terman still had to recruit several hundred people.
The guard battalion led by El has been vigorously reorganized, and the original guard battalion has expanded to a size of more than 5,000 people. According to Er, the guard battalion is just doing odd jobs. They are the ones who escort the transport convoy, guard the mine workshop, and supervise the labor of the prisoners. It's them, it's them who follow Lorist, the whole thing is all-purpose glue, they are the first ones to think of.
This time the guard battalion was divided into two. The guard battalion under El's command ignored everything except Lorist's order, and the newly formed guard battalion was responsible for guarding the warehouse and the mine workshop. Lorist is also planning to select the second battalion of guards from those whose family's armed forces have been cut down, to be responsible for guarding the captive labor of more than 30,000 people.
In addition to the guard battalion, the guard squadron of the former bandit Ovekis was ordered to expand into the first guard battalion, responsible for defending the Rock Castle. The Pachiko Knights of Fenglin Villa were ordered to form the Second Guards Battalion.
Pointing to the map, Lorist said that this year, he planned to build a fortress castle at the current location of the Archer's Cavalry Battalion, Wo Niu Gang. It was originally a strategic location, connecting two mountain military fortresses in the east, overlooking the river valley, facing the black mud marsh in the north, and connecting Populus euphratica beach in the west. As long as this place is controlled, even if the two mountain fortresses fall, the mountain barbarians will not be able to harass the family territory. And here is the road that the Warcraft tide must pass every winter. In the future, if the scale of the monster wave is not large, we can even block it directly here, so that it cannot go to Fengleyuan.
The family had planned to build a fortress here before, but it could not be implemented because of the lack of manpower and troops, and several big families in Beiye Town were holding back. If the terrain of Wo Niu Gang is to be built, a large fortress must be built. If it is small, it will be lacking and useless. Now that the family is strong and strong, it is time to build a fortress castle here. At that time, the second battalion of the Pachico Knights' Guards will be stationed to ensure the safety of the family territory.
Finally, there is Miss Baisha's women's battalion. In the previous two raids against the magical beasts stranded in Fengleyuan, the women's battalion performed very well. Lorist allowed Miss Baisha to expand the women's battalion to 3,000 people, but required every member of the women's battalion to be familiar with battlefield first aid and the use of various medicines. Lorist planned to turn the women's battalion into a battlefield rescue soldier .
With regard to the pharmacist team of the northbound convoy, Lorist believed that the mission had been fulfilled, and asked the person in charge, Lummerd, to set up medical bureaus in major towns, and place the pharmacists who coerced the northbound convoy along the way to the medical bureaus in each town. Li served as the supervisor and was responsible for treating the residents.
As for Rummard, Lorist gave him two choices, either to serve as the head of the Rock Castle Medical Directorate, or to go to the women's battalion as a pharmacy instructor to teach those female soldiers.
Rummard beamed and went to Miss Baisha to report.
Bodfinger asked: "My lord, after our family is armed, we will use the battalion as a unit, and no longer have regiments and regiments?"
Lorist smiled and said, "How is that possible? The current situation is dominated by legions. Even the Kenmes family has to form a family legion of 30,000 people, not to mention the 56,000 people formed by the second prince." The first legion of the Kingdom of Iberia. My plan is to form a regiment with five battalions of 15,000 people and five regiments of 75,000 people. At present, the purpose of the family's streamlining of troops and administration is to set up the frame armor first, and then Scaling is easy."
"It turns out your lord's plan is this way. I understand. You must follow your lord's instructions to train an elite family armed force. Please don't worry your lord." Bodfinger said.
"But my lord, why haven't I been arranged?" Berunek stood up.
"Don't worry, I have something important to entrust to Big Brother Baker." Lorist waved his hand and said, "I'm going to set up a recruit camp in Fenglin Villa, this time I'm still between 20 and 25 years old All family soldiers who have not reached the black iron strength standard will go to the recruit camp for training, and only after reaching the standard can they enter the army to serve. In the future, the family armed forces are not allowed to recruit soldiers on their own, and the lack of places will be filled by the recruit camp.
In addition, in the future, for the citizens who have reached the age of 18 in the family territory, men must enter the recruit camp to receive training in awakening fighting spirit, and women can voluntarily participate in it for a period of three months. Those who have not awakened can participate in three consecutive sessions, and all future recruitment of family soldiers will be selected from these awakened young people. The standard for family soldiers is a regular battalion-level force, with a fighting spirit strength of black iron rank, and a garrison force of bronze or above. Once the number of people reaches the standard, it can be expanded. Brother Baker is in charge of the recruit camp. "
"Yes, my lord." Berunek stood at attention and saluted.
…
If the garrison teams in various settlement villages and towns are not counted, the family armed forces that still maintain an organizational system currently have a total of 16 battalion-level establishments, with a total number of nearly 50,000 people. For Lorist, it was barely satisfactory, the ratio of soldiers to civilians was maintained at one to ten. On this statistic, Lorist deceived himself and regarded the garrison and the patrol team as militias, ignoring these two troops also needed real money from the family Silver pays a monthly salary for it.
Fortunately, the family's territory is in the Northland, and the northbound convoy didn't do a lot of business along the way. Instead, they got rich by robbing and accumulated a huge wealth of up to three million gold for the family. Weapons and equipment, so Lorist can still afford the family's armed forces.
Now that all industries in the family territory are in the hands of the family, no matter how much Lorist gives preferential treatment to the family soldiers, he is playing a left-handed to right-handed trick.
It was already the end of June to discuss with Fatty Shi and others the detailed rules and regulations on the family's armed forces. When Lorist was preparing to take a two-month vacation for himself to spend time with his precious son at Maple Forest Villa, Earl Kenmes visited again.
This time Earl Kenmes came here for the agreement signed last time. Not only did he transport 33,000 sets of iron armor and supporting weapons and equipment from the Rock Castle, but he also spent 200,000 Jinford from Fatty Shi bought a large amount of snow salt and two million catties of smoked beef.
Fatty Shi, who completed the transaction, was very angry and indignant. Because he knew that as long as the Earl of Kenmes resold the snow salt and smoked beef, the two hundred thousand things could be sold for at least five or six hundred thousand.
Lorist thinks there is no other way, because others control the cable bridge for external traffic. And if we don't sell them, we can't always keep them in reserve. After all, these are all produced by the family, so let's sell as much as we can.
Fatty Shi thought that it was necessary to find an outlet to the sea in the family territory. The family still had so many high-quality monster furs in stock, and these could be sold at a high price in Morente City.
Lorist nodded. Now that he has a goal, he will take a look when he has time.
