Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

After lingering in Fengyuan City for nearly half a month, Commander Pierce finally brought the soldiers of the Northern Army who went on this expedition to return to his homeland on the wasteland.

After quickly clearing the remnants of the Ralph family, a power vacuum occurred temporarily in Fengyuan City and surrounding areas. Pierce could only wait for the city hall officials sent from the north, while carrying out the subsequent liquidation of the nobles in the city in an orderly manner. .

The gold pounds and food that were plundered were quite rich in the Ralph family and their vassals, so Harvey ordered the army to provide relief and compensation to the residents in the city before leaving - most of them were unable to plow normally due to the impact of the war. The tenant farmers and the free people, both received a ration that they had to spend the season temporarily.

Handicraftsmen and small vendors who were unable to engage in production and operation normally due to the situation also made commercial tax reductions in turn.

Facts have also proved that the effect of promoting the new policy while distributing relief is very significant. The new lord not only allows them to have a full meal for a while, but also promises not to impose a single tax on land rent this year. Such a large-scale lenient policy is naturally Aroused unanimous support from the people.

"Sir, we have arranged for the 500 northern troops stationed in Fengyuan City to recruit local people and establish a new army in the southern border..." As soon as we returned to the territory, Pierce hurriedly reported to Harvey's recent work.

There were only 1,500 soldiers from the North who went to fight in the end. The last one returned was only 1,000. The remaining battalion of 500 people was stationed in Fengyuan City. While cooperating with the new city hall to stabilize the situation in the city, he followed Harvey's Instructed to start recruiting new troops.

The recruitment standard for the new army was determined by Harvey himself - first of all, the aristocratic forces were excluded, and only civilians from free people or tenant farmers were allowed to join the army, and the number should not be too large... It is planned to recruit one thousand people to form two. The new military camp department is enough.

"The new army's enlistment treatment cannot be equivalent to that of the Northern Army. In addition to providing food and accommodation... military pay and welfare are paid in half according to the standards of the Northern Army."

Pierce nodded to express his understanding and also understood that Harvey was not unwilling to treat everyone equally, but that the Northern Army had really struggled to form an army since the pioneering and founding period, and he fought for himself through a battle of sacrifice. If this group was allowed to do so, The people from the South, who were already looked down upon by them, were treated on an equal footing with them once they joined the army, which would probably cause dissatisfaction among most middle and lower-class soldiers.

"The Police Department has also dispatched some police officers to the police department, and will not meet the requirements for enlistment, but the innocent candidates will choose some police officers who join the Fengyuan City. It is also good to choose some police officers who join the Fengyuan City..."

After all, Fengyuan City is in a mess, and the gap period in the government affairs system cannot last for too long. If administrative management agencies cannot be quickly established, firmly grasp the situation in the city, and deepen their control power to the grassroots level of the people, then those The aristocratic forces that are temporarily low will emerge quickly, and the corrupt and old class order will come back.

This is a result that Harvey is absolutely unwilling to accept.

"Sir, there is one thing I don't quite understand..." Pierce hesitated for a long time and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you expanding your troops and recruiting troops in the three places of Puhuan Leader, Grizzly Castle and Fengyuan City at the same time, but you have to pay a lot of money. Zhou Zhang's rotation of troops from the three places? "

According to Pierce's simple concept, soldiers stationed locally to defend their homes, both in terms of morale and familiarity with the local situation are a natural advantage... But Harvey did the opposite and turned the three places. The soldiers were sent to other places to guard, which really made him confused.

"As the commander-in-chief of the army, you haven't figured out the truth for so long?"

Harvey looked at Pierce's face flushed after laughing, and then explained seriously, "Since the North Frontier Army was founded, soldiers naturally clinging to each other because of their origins. You should be very clear, right?"

Pierce was stunned and answered honestly: "I know it...but this is inevitable. Whether it is the people of the Wasteland and the people of the South, or the orcs and the human race, as long as there is no trouble in public, it is completely privately It cannot be eliminated."

"Yes, no matter how the soldiers enforce the orders in battle or how they strictly follow the instructions to fight bravely, they will subconsciously trust their fellow tribes and fellow villagers more in private." Harvey chuckled, "As our territory expands, In the future, the enrollment will only increase in the number of recruitment in various places, and the background of soldiers will become more and more complicated..."

He gave an example lightly "Soldiers from Fengyuan City, soldiers from Grizzly Leaders, soldiers from Wastelands... or even soldiers from Sancha Town. If there are countless factions in your army, there will be I don't need to say more about the consequences, right? "

Pierce felt sweaty when she heard this, and she couldn't speak for a moment.

Only then did he fully understand the real intention of Harvey's move in this regard - to avoid local soldiers joining together to disrupt the military order, completely disperse soldiers from different places, and send garrisons from other places, so as to better consolidate the army into an iron plate, and no longer be able to Distinguish between each other's origins.

"Fengyuan City recruited 1,000 soldiers, Grizzlies recruited 1,000 soldiers... The pioneering base camp expanded by two thousand."

Harvey stood up and patted Pierce on the shoulder, comforting: "The task of expanding the army and training new recruits is very heavy, but I can't relax at all... Before the autumn of this year, I will see that the army under the territory is full of tens of thousands of people. , and they are all regular soldiers who are well-trained and able to go out to fight at any time."

If it were more than a year ago, Harvey would never have dared to dream of having a huge army of 10,000 people. Not only were there not enough weapons and ammunition, but it was also difficult to feed these professional soldiers who did not produce anything.

The rapidly developing and increasingly prosperous Pioneer Territory gave him enough confidence. Apart from the population of more than 20,000 to 30,000 in Grizzly Territory and Fengyuan City, the population of Pioneer Territory alone has expanded to more than 50,000.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

And nearly half of the population has received the most basic literacy education. Although it is still an extremely low literacy rate in later generations, it is a miracle in this ignorant and dark era - they can read and write simply, have basic work knowledge, and can understand many laws and policies issued by the city hall... They even have a budding sense of "home" and "ownership".

The improvement of the people's cultural level can give Harvey enough fresh blood, and his administrative agencies can also recruit enough people to promote the implementation of the new policies and technological changes envisioned by Harvey.

Compared to the seemingly docile, submissive and ignorant people, these new people living under his rule are more capable of bursting out with unimaginable subjective initiative. As Harvey's power expands, these people will spread like fire until they set off a prairie fire.
