Chapter 688: Territory Situation (3)

The three cavalrymen were very arrogant when they came to three meters in front of Zhang Zhongjun before they reined in their horses, and when they stopped, they were already approaching the point of almost a meter away.

The first one is a sturdy man with a knife mark on his face, and although there are no scars on his face, the back of his hand holding the reins is also scarred, and his face is also unruly.

"Are you Zhang Hongyi?" Scarface asked out loud, no enthusiasm, no indifference, only a faint taste, as if he was saying it casually.

"I am. I don't know who the three officers are?" Zhang Zhongjun replied. Knowing that the other party's grade was higher than his own, and he was also a member of the field army responsible for external invasion, he did not reserve his noble status, so he asked very simply.

Seeing that Zhang Zhongjun gave up his hand first, the three officers raised their eyebrows and returned a military salute together. Seeing the actions of these three people, the retainers who were originally unhappy because of the other party's impoliteness calmed down one by one, at least the other party gave their lord a face in return, and the previous anger naturally disappeared.

"We're here to inform you that your people will be arriving in three days, so be ready to receive them. Officer Scar still said indifferently. As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhongjun and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, damn, it turned out that the people would be sent to it in three days, really, when the holy decree was announced, it didn't say these things, so if you don't go to the territory to check, will the people be delivered? Or will you send it directly to the territory and ignore it? It's really a little unreliable.

Before Zhang Zhongjun could speak, Officer Scar said: "In addition, your lordship status, you need to prepare 100 soldiers to be ready to accept the conscription at any time, and if the conscription order is issued, if the number of your soldiers is not enough, merit points will be deducted, and merit points will be deducted, and you will be deprived of your noble title." ”

Zhang Zhongjun was stunned for a moment and then asked directly: "Well, do you have any requirements for this 100 soldiers?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhongjun, a newcomer, didn't question his words, the three Scar officers couldn't help but show a look of doubt, because according to the rules, the private soldiers of the nobles did not need to be recruited by anyone, even if there was a national war, the private soldiers of the nobles would not be recruited.

In the same way, since the private soldiers of the nobles do not accept any conscription, then the nobles' territories are not protected by the state, and the state will not invade the nobles' territories, and the nobles naturally cannot send troops to attack the country's territory, which means that the nobles cannot expand their territory by force.

So what are the private soldiers of the nobles used for? robbing other nobles, bullying the officials and people, making trouble, eliminating bandits near the territory, and so on, as long as it is not to expand the territory, as long as it is not to attack the government, then the private soldiers of the nobles can be used.

Even the imperial court encouraged the nobles to go to war with each other, and in the battle between the nobles, the winner could only get the ransom paid by the other party, and could even loot the opponent's territory, but could not seize the opponent's territory, and in the same way, he could kill the opponent's people, but not the other party's people.

Zhang Zhongjun only learned about these later.

After the three of Scarface were stunned for a moment, they still responded directly: "The whole body armor soldier, the strength above the True Yuan Realm." ”

Zhang Zhongjun and his retainers all changed their faces, not to mention the whole body armor soldiers, even with the iron cavalry of the high-headed war horse, Zhang Zhongjun could easily form tens of thousands of people! As long as his people arrived! Because all the armor soldiers needed was armor and weapons and a strong man, which could be solved with money. Zhang Zhongjun, who has tens of millions of taels of gold, doesn't care about this cost!

But he meows more than 100 [True Yuan Realm] powerful soldiers?What are you kidding?! Now under Zhang Zhongjun's subordinates, after deducting the powerful one-vote guardian beast, the old and young retainers add up, almost a thousand, but there is no one above the [True Yuan Realm].

Although they have all started to cultivate the [Flame Fist] one by one, they have only just started to cultivate, and it is impossible for them to be promoted so quickly, after all, everyone has been busy doing things, and few of them can calm down and concentrate on cultivation regardless of it!

Scarface They are also knowledgeable pedestrians, don't look at the [True Yuan Realm] is really nothing to them, it can only be regarded as garbage. But this garbage level, after the number is expanded to 100, it is really not something that ordinary forces can have. Anyway, there are so many gangs in the country, that is, those big gangs that almost occupy half of the province's territory.

Naturally, it is impossible for other gangs to have such a manpower. As long as you think about the original Captain Chen of the cavalry team of Fengwutang, in the early stage of [True Yuan Realm], he was already a middle and lower-level figure in Fengwutang, and he was already able to walk sideways in the township, and he was able to force those who were treated as idlers to have no courage to resist and be escorted away obediently, so he knew that [True Yuan Realm] was at the bottom level, what a powerful level of strength.

Scarface didn't come to turn against Zhang Zhongjun, nor did he come to persecute or anything, so although he was still indifferent, he had an explanation: "These 100 soldiers are not for you to take out immediately, but they must be formed within half a year of receiving the people, because the new nobles only have half a year to cultivate, and once the time passes, the conscription order will be issued at any time." ”

"Well, who issued this conscription order? His Majesty the Emperor or the cabinet?" Zhang Zhongjun did not emphasize that the nobles' private soldiers had the right not to be dispatched, because there must be a reason why people deliberately told him about the conscription order.

Scarface still shook his head flatly: "It's not Your Majesty or the Cabinet, it's issued by the House of Nobles, and the conscription order includes all members of the royal family." ”

The retainers who originally wanted to say something were silent when they heard the conscription order issued by the House of Nobles, which specializes in managing nobles. What aristocratic private soldiers are not deployed, that is only for the emperor and the cabinet, for the noble house, this is still impossible to say. Don't you see that even members of the royal family are in the scope of the conscription order?

Zhang Zhongjun was a little stunned, it was actually a conscription order issued by the House of Nobles, so it was obviously aimed at things that were beneficial or harmful to all the nobles, and did not see that the members of the royal family had a share? This is absolutely impossible to refuse, because offending the House of Nobles is offending the nobles of the world, including the emperor, because the emperor is also the biggest nobleman.

So Zhang Zhongjun nodded: "Understood, I'll let people prepare to receive the people who will come in three days." ”

"So, quit. This time, the three of Scarface saluted Zhang Zhongjun first. Zhang Zhongjun naturally returned the salute, and then watched them turn around and ride away.
