Chapter 161
North of Winter Fortress, Knockin River area.

The bitter cold wind raged on the empty and dead land, and two groups of serfs were migrating. They wore rags and linen single clothes and huddled together to resist the erosion of winter.

Soon after, they arrived at their destination, a village that had been burned.

Then Noxus soldiers came over and ordered these serfs to start rebuilding. They needed to clean up the houses that had just been burned, and move wood, stones and other items.

Not far away, Baron Shire, Abdekader, commander of the First Noxus Army, Henry the Second Army, Biller, the commander of the Third Army, and Bruno, the captain of the Noxus transport team, gathered together to discuss With the next plan.

"Lord Baron, I found traces of goblins in the north again, and they seem to want to come again." Biller was the first to report: "But I have wiped out their vanguard."

"What? These beasts dare to come." Abdekad became angry. "My lord, please allow me to attack. I want to wipe out this green-skin tribe."

Charles pressed his hand down, signaling Abdekad to wait first, and then he turned his attention to Biller, "Have you figured out the origin of the enemy?"

Bilair nodded confidently. Although he is now the leader of the Noxus Third Army, don't forget that he was once the leader of the Tusk tribe. Going back to the Korimia prairie is no different from going home. He personally brought After the team made some investigations, the origin of this group of green-skin tribes was made clear.

"Lord Baron, this group of greenskin tribes originally lived in the south-central part of the Korimia prairie, which is called the Twisted Grassland. There are abundant water and grass, rich ore, and it is said that there are magic mines. The Tauren Storm Tribe, half The big tribes of people, horses and iron hoofs are all gathered here."

"This time, the God Worship Conference in the Twisted Grassland area is hosted by the third prince of the Xiongren royal family. The successor of the Xiongren royal family has not yet been determined. I guess the third prince intends to go south to invade and show off his valor."

"So the kobold Green tribe and the two green-skin tribes who were originally located in the twisted grassland served as the vanguard army and prepared to go south in advance."

Being in the northern border, Charles has learned about the rumors of the bear royal family. It is said that the heir of the bear royal family is equivalent to the prince of the human kingdom.The way for the Xiongren royal family to establish an heir is not to establish a leader, but it is not to establish a virtuous person, but whoever is stronger will win.

There is a tradition in the Ursine royal family that anyone who ascends to the throne will kill all his own brothers.Therefore, the succession to the throne of the Xiongren royal family is extremely cruel and inescapable.Even if you don't intend to be on the throne, your brother will still brutally kill you and your son after ascending to the throne.

Under this system, the Xiongren royal family has successively produced several generations of extremely capable monarchs. Although they may not necessarily be called wise monarchs, and most of them are even called tyrants, they are all very capable, leading the Xiongren royal family to change continuously. powerful.

What a tradition!

Charles sighed slightly.The third prince of the Xiongren royal family seemed to want to use their Sisinoa kingdom to prove his bravery, but in fact there was no need to do so. As long as he killed his brothers first, wouldn't the throne be secure?It's really a waste of money.

Oh, it's also possible that he can't beat the other brothers, so he can only run out to find foreign aid.

"Lord Baron, what shall we do next?" Biller continued to ask.

"Training soldiers while fighting." Charles looked at Biller and said, "A thousand and a half new recruits will arrive here soon. You lead them and train them with the blood of goblins."

With the situation like this, Shire has no plans to slowly train soldiers. He recruits some people and throws them up to fight a few battles to become veterans.

There are more than 1000 soldiers?

Biller nodded and listened to the order. He began to figure out that these more than 1000 recruits must not be capable of fighting, and they cannot fight tough battles as soon as they come up.You can sneak attack the green-skinned team first to practice your hands and see the blood.The vanguard he met last time was very good, with more than 1000 green skins, no more, no less.

Afterwards, Charles continued: "The Noxus First Legion and the Second Legion will be put on hold for now and will be displayed on both sides of the Noxus River."

"My lord baron, shall we not take the initiative to attack?" Abdekad felt a little aggrieved when he heard this order. Others bullied him for this sake, and they still hold off. Their Noxus Legion has never been subjected to this. Wronged.

If he had his way, he should have knocked on the door now and shoved the spears into the greenskins' mouths.Burn down, kill and loot the Greenskin Horde.

Henry, the commander of the Second Noxus Legion, also scratched his head. What are a group of green dwarfs afraid of? He can kill a group of them with a stick.

However, Shire's attitude was very firm, that is, he stayed where he was, and no legion other than the Noxus Third Legion was allowed to take the initiative to attack.Although Abdekad and Henry felt aggrieved, they were also helpless.

Afterwards, Charles continued to give orders.This orc attack exposed a problem. The connection between the newly built village on the Knockin River and Winter Fortress is very weak.

Recently, Winter Fortress has gained tens of thousands of people and more than 30 villages, but the impact on the Noxus family is not as great as imagined.

It is difficult to quickly issue orders from Winter Fortress to these new villages. A new vertical management system needs to be established quickly.

But it is a pity that the Noxus family does not have enough political talents, and Shire can only find another way.

Shire intends to establish three villages and towns in the Knockin River Basin. Different from ordinary rural areas, these three villages and towns will serve as secondary administrative centers.

They are responsible for docking with Winter Fortress and radiating down to ordinary villages.

According to geographical location, these three villages and towns are arranged in order from west to east.Taking Winter Fortress as a reference point, the three of them are located in the northwest, the north, and the northeast respectively.

The population of these villages and towns should be about [-], which is about five times the population of ordinary villages.For the management of villages and towns, Shire intends to adopt a militarized method.

Among the veterans of Noxus, choose those with high honor, outstanding military exploits and loyalty to Noxus. They will serve as village chiefs, manage serfs in accordance with the regulations of the Noxus army, lead them to plow the fields, and serve .

The advantages and disadvantages of this are obvious. The advantage is that these serfs can be quickly turned into members of the powerful military machinery of Noxus.

The disadvantage is that the Noxus family will rely too much on the army, and the army will in turn bind the Noxus family. Farming and war will become the main theme of Noxus. Once the external expansion encounters Waterloo, Noxus may fall apart.

Charles thought about it and decided to do it anyway.

The feudal land building and the great unification are contradictory, so the interests of the feudal nobles are contrary to the interests of Noxus. If their interests conflict, they are natural enemies.

The church and the great unity are also contradictory. Let alone the contradiction between secular kingship and theocracy. The strength of the church lies in the large number of believers. Through these believers, they can easily grasp the power at the grassroots level, and this is also the same as Noxus interests are contradictory.

The revolution is not a dinner party, but a life-and-death struggle. Charles felt that it was a foolish thing for him to think about the troubles after victory before he won.

At least you have to win.

Qingshi Town.

This is the name given by Shire to the newly established village and town, which is located in the area just north of Winter Fortress.

The west is close to the Blackstone Mountains, and Shire named the villages and towns in the west Blackstone Town, and the east is close to the Alps, and Shire named it the town of Basin.

The location of Qingshi town is the former site of the village burned by the greenskins, and Shire re-established the town here.

In addition, the original villages also need to be adjusted. They surround Qingshi Town and are named Qingshi No. [-] Village, Qingshi No. [-] Village... and Qingshi No. [-] Village.

These six villages plus one small town have an estimated population of more than 5000 people.

There are only five villages around Heishi Town in the western region, each of which is Heishi No. 2 Village... with a population of over [-].

In the small town of BC in the eastern region, there are also five villages with a population of more than 2.

……

In the early morning, the sun came out from the west, and the warm sun shone on the vast Knockin River area.

Old George stepped out of the tent to welcome the beautiful day.

But soon, this beauty was ruined by noisy trivial matters. As the first batch of veterans of the Noxus family, Baron Shire personally shook hands and encouraged him.

Now, Old George's position has changed from the sheriff of Winter Fortress to the mayor of Qingshi Town.

To be honest, when he received this order, Old George was dumbfounded. He was a cripple. When he was in the Noxus Legion, his highest position was the captain of the centurion. Now he has to manage more than 1 people. He feels that I can't do it myself.

However, when he heard that the Lord Baron personally gave the order, he rushed over immediately without any hesitation.

After becoming the mayor of Qingshi Town, George finally understood how cumbersome the things he had to do were.

Most of the residents in Qingshi Town are serfs from the Silver Fox collar. They have no farm tools, houses, or even decent clothes. Some people freeze to death every day.In addition, when these serfs first arrived in Qingshi Town, hundreds of them died just because of the problem of acclimatization.

How to distribute food every day is also a troublesome matter. If the problem of false claims is solved, how to let the serfs work to rebuild their homes.

Thanks to his experience as a sheriff in Cold Winter Fortress, Old George was able to barely cope with these problems.

Suddenly, a militia captain ran over quickly, and old George secretly thought that he was unlucky, and another trifle came to him.

"Master George, he's dead." The militiaman ran over yelling.

"What's the matter, what happened?" Seeing the appearance of the militiamen, Old George also panicked, and the broth he just drank was also choked up.

Immediately afterwards, the militia quickly explained that it turned out that when the serfs were receiving their meals this morning, because of a dispute, the two sides gradually turned from a verbal dispute to an armed fight, and finally even called dozens of people to help.

Oh, so that's all.Old George cast a glance at the militia captain, and saw that he was led by the silver fox. He was so timid. More than 100 people fought, and how many people died.Old George began to eat in a leisurely manner, and when the food was almost finished, Old George ordered the militiamen to assemble.

The population of Qingshi town is more than 1, and the quota for the militia is 1000, but now the old George has only recruited more than 300 people, because recruiting the militia needs food, and there is a shortage of food now.But hearing that Lord Baron has a solution to the food problem, George is looking forward to it. Once the food problem is solved, he will immediately recruit the militia.

Hundreds of people were fighting, and Old George felt that these militiamen might not be able to hold the occasion, so he sent someone to invite three Noxus ten-man teams, thirty Noxus soldiers with big arms.

With these more than 30 Noxus soldiers, Old George immediately felt that he had a lot of confidence.Lead the team to the place where the fight took place.

I saw that the two sides had already finished fighting, and there were more than a dozen people lying on the ground, and more than a hundred people were confronting each other, as if they were waiting for old George to solve it.

Old George came over, took a look, and got angry all of a sudden, because he saw some militiamen lying on the ground, and some militiamen were beaten black and blue. He asked, "Why do you want to do it?"

"Because they rob food."

"fart."

……

These more than a hundred people spoke together, their voices were extremely chaotic, like a group of flies croaking, making people feel extremely irritated.

Old George asked again: "Why did you fight the militia?"

"Who told him to help Marco and the others."

"That's right, these militiamen usually know how to bully us, and they deserve to be killed."

……

These more than 100 serfs shouted again. Normally, they were extremely envious of these militiamen, because the militiamen had enough food to eat but they did not.Now, taking advantage of the chaos and killing a few, it can just calm down the jealousy in my heart.

Old George understood the meaning behind the words. The militiamen lived better than them. They wanted to fight, so they killed a few of them.

Old George wondered, wouldn't they be afraid of something that blatantly violated Noxus laws?How dare you say it outright?

The serfs wanted to say, this is you, old George, who is innocent.

Fear, that doesn't exist.

They have been serfs for more than a day, so they naturally know their own value, although their status is low, they have been scolded and bullied.But the addition of more than a hundred serfs is not a small fortune.

The nobles are not willing to kill them, not even starve, because starving to death is also a loss.

It was like this when they were in the Silver Fox Leader before. After the fight, the noble lord sent someone to scold them, and sometimes they didn't even care about it.

Some serfs even pawed at the porridge pot, and even wanted to sneak some black bread.

Old George laughed angrily, and said, "Don't you know that you have violated the laws of the Noxus family?"

The serfs still didn't care. These laws were not even obeyed by the nobles. They obeyed the fart. These laws were just an excuse to bully them. As for whether they exist or not, does it really matter?
