Fantasy Simulator Chapter 87: Assist (Part 2
As early as ten years ago, in order to expand his influence and allow himself to take root in the Northland, Chen Heng adopted a policy of proactively outwards and striving to make friends with the Northland nobles.
The nobles are multiplying, and in every family, except for the eldest son who has inheritance rights, there are a large number of clansmen who cannot be arranged.
Where these people go is undoubtedly a headache.
As second sons or even partial supporters, these people have no inheritance rights, only a small amount of property, and even other help.
Under the rules of this era, it is difficult for them to have a decent life like their parents did.
But Chen Heng solved a problem for them to a certain extent.
Different from other lords of this era, Chen Heng's territory has a complete bureaucratic system that involves all aspects and is very complete.
A perfect governance system naturally requires a large number of administrative officials for execution.
The second sons of the nobles who could not be settled by others were targeted by Chen Heng.
In this era when civilians are generally unable to read, these second sons of nobles were born among the nobles, and they can basically read and write. Some of them may also master other skills. They are the best and only officials of this era. source.
Therefore, with the development of Chen Heng in the past ten years, a large number of clansmen from other nobles have gathered in his territory.
At this level, there are naturally many people who are loyal to him.
But among these, lords like Kurudo are few.
Of those loyalists, more are landless nobles who have no territory and desire to obtain territory through Chen Heng.
"His Majesty Oliman ordered me to summon the army and go to fight the rebels."
Sitting in the hall, Chen Heng looked calm and said as he looked at Kurudo.
"Fighting the rebels?"
The voice fell, and the faces of everyone present changed.
Leaving from one's own territory and going to a strange place to fight the rebels is not a matter of lip service. There are many things involved.
How to arrange food and how to guarantee logistics? Where will the army be deployed? Will it cause the emptiness of the territory and cause accidents?
There are many literal questions.
There are more problems outside the battlefield.
Especially in the current situation, do they still support Oliman to fight those rebels?
These are all questions.
Thinking of this, the expressions of all the people present couldn't help changing, and then they all looked forward and stared at Chen Heng.
At present, in the entire Suoda, the only person who can make a decision is Chen Heng.
His thoughts are the most important factor in deciding whether to play.
Feeling the gaze of the people around him, Chen Heng's face was calm, but he raised his head silently, and said: "If we really go to war, how many troops can we have now?"
"Probably five thousand people can be used without affecting the defense."
Someone thought for a moment, and finally said so.
"Five thousand people."
Chen Heng nodded.
These five thousand people are what he has accumulated over the past ten years.
Although it looks good, it is completely comparable to the number of troops in the history of hundreds of thousands of millions, but it is already the result of Chen Heng's best efforts.
Soda's foundation is too bad after all, it was just a piece of white ground at the beginning.
In the past ten years or so, Chen Heng has tried his best to develop, attract population, attract tribes, and buy slaves to fill in, but now Suoda's population is only a few hundred thousand.
For this population, it is the limit to be able to support 10,000 troops.
And among these ten thousand people, only these five thousand people can be extracted.
Of course, although this number is not a big number in Chen Heng's eyes, it is already an extremely large number in the eyes of the other lords of the Kutu Kingdom.
The lords of this era are generally poor. Except for a few big nobles, the remaining soldiers in the hands of the small lords are actually not many.
Just like Chen Heng's father, Baron Kayson, the number of guards in the entire territory was only three or four hundred.
At this moment, the prestige of the rebels in the south is so huge, but the core combat power of them is probably less than 10,000, and they are still under different lords. They are the same as Chen Heng's command, and the army under complete control is not the same day. And language.
In the eyes of Kurudo and others, Chen Heng's strength is already very strong, and he can be called the first in this Northland.
However, in Chen Heng's view, the number of troops at this point is still somewhat insufficient.
It's not that the combat power is not enough.
In fact, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of his army, Chen Heng has done a lot of work.
The army in his hand is an army that fights with foreign races day by day. Not only does he often face battles, but his daily food training is not bad at all.
As far as their training level is concerned, if they are placed in the army of other lords, they may immediately cause mutiny.
Training, logistics, equipment, actual combat, there is no shortage of one.
Such an army~IndoMTL.com~ is certainly not bad in combat effectiveness.
And in fact it is the same.
In these years, apart from fighting with foreign races, Chen Heng has not never fought with the army of the lord of the North.
For the southern lord, the army in the northern territory is considered to be an elite army. Facing the army at Chen Heng's hand, it cannot be matched at the same number and will be easily defeated.
Lords of the North have been fighting all year round, and the combat effectiveness of the army is stronger than that of the South.
Even them are like this, not to mention the southern army.
It’s just that although the combat power is sufficient, it may not be enough to achieve greater goals.
If you want to defeat the army in the south, Chen Heng's five thousand men is enough.
But if you want to control the vast territory and achieve the effect Chen Heng wants, it may not be enough.
At this point, Chen Heng turned around and looked at Kurudo: "If I ask the Lord of the North to send an army with me, how many people can be recruited?"
Chen Heng spoke lightly and said so.
Looking at Chen Heng, Kurudo was taken aback.
But soon, he reacted, his expression straightened: "The Ola family is willing to come up with five hundred people to follow."
"The Kelso family is willing to provide three hundred people."
"The Thorin family is willing to spend four hundred..."
"The Victor family can come up with three hundred..."
Sounds fell on the spot.
In the presence, besides Kurudo, there are several small lords who also secretly pledged allegiance to Chen Heng.
The number of troops brought out by these people was increased, and within a short period of time, they gathered another 1,500.
"Send a message to several other families for me, saying that I want to entertain them at Soda."
Listening to the words of the people in Kurudo, Chen Heng smiled, and at this moment he couldn't help but smile: "By the way, ask them to send the army together to help me."
