Law of the Devil Chapter 193: [Temporary decree twenty years ago]

Chapter 193 [Provisional Order Twenty Years Ago]

As a well-known sin city on the mainland, the existence of Big Ear City is not too long. Just over twenty years ago, it was just a barren mountain. More than two decades ago, after the Northwest War, the Imperial Army built many military forts in the Northwest in order to consolidate the frontier defense of the Northwest.

However, with the financial constraints of the empire, many military fortresses in the northwest lacked funding for repairs, and most of them were subsequently abandoned. Because His Majesty Augustine, after thinking that he had "conquered" the Northwest, focused all his attention on the rich and vast Nanyang.

Most of these military fortresses in the northwest have survived.

Daer City is an exception.

Twenty years ago, there was only one big ear mountain. This mountain is not large, but if you look down from the air, you will find that the shape of the mountain is very similar to human ears. During the Northwest War, the empire built an army town here as a heavy material transfer point for the Northwest battlefield.

Later, after the war, it gradually evolved into a concentration camp for all sinners in the northwest.

The entire city of Big Ear has no civilians. There are 2,000 garrison troops stationed there, and more than 10,000 criminals are detained all year round. Waiting for these criminals is the heavy labor work of the Northwest Frontier Fortress. Most of these people cannot survive the distribution and service period, and most of them will be under heavy labor. They will die for up to two years.

The cruelty of the Empire's criminal law is evident.

So there is a rumor in the empire: Rather than be sentenced to death, don't go to Big Ear City. Because of the betrayal of the death penalty, he died instantly. And if you go to Big Ear City, you will still have to suffer two more years and then die tragically.

Biedro is the dorsal leader of Big Ears. But his position as leader. It's special. From the perspective of the Imperial Land military system, as a commanding officer, generally can lead a complete team. For the establishment of the Imperial Army, an infantry regiment was 4,000 and a cavalry regiment was 3,000. But Viedro commanded that his Majesty had only a "shrinking infantry regiment" of 2,000 infantry, and that they lacked equipment all year round and could not even let each soldier get a complete set of armor and weapons. In fact. As a prison-like city, his soldiers do not need to be on the battlefield, they only need to detain those prisoners.

Viedro got up early today, and he knows that there will be a big man today. This is an order from above.

Beedro was relieved. Four thousand people were escorted from the imperial capital the other day! In Viedro's eyes, of course, he can see that these four thousand people are not ordinary criminals ... they are all qualified soldiers, each of whom is very strong and well-trained. Although it has been disarmed, after all, it is a criminal group composed of 4,000 soldiers ...

Looking at these four thousand people being sent to Big Ear City. Viedro can't even sleep well these days ... he has only two thousand soldiers and lacks equipment. It is already very reluctant to care for tens of thousands of prisoners with two thousand people, not to mention more such four thousand soldiers who have just taken off their armor, yes. They are rebels! And I heard that it is still the elite King City Guard!

A group of such people, in terms of both quantity and quality, far surpasses those of their local miscellaneous army ... No, their men are not even a heterogeneous army. At best, it's just a group of armed jailers.

If these rebels riot ... Viedro is not sure he can subdue them all.

So, when the order came from above, someone would come to take these four thousand people in these two days, and Viedro was really relieved.

But, after waiting for one night yesterday, but not waiting for the expected guests, Vidello also muttered in his heart: Did the orders of the big men above be passed wrong?

From the bottom of his heart, Videro hopes that the 4,000 hot potatoes will get out sooner.

Finally. In the morning the sun jumped out of the clouds. When the red morning glow shrouded the city of Big Ears, Viedro, who was standing at the head of the city, saw it in the distance. On the horizon, a group of cavalrymen leaned quickly towards it.

Looking at the banner that was coming, Viedro suddenly struck a drum ... Oh my God, it was the flag of thorns and flowers, but it was the Royal Forest! !!

Is this the royal family?

Bidero dare not neglect. Hurry up and open the gate. Then personally led the team out of town to meet.

The cavalry of the Imperial Army had about three hundred men, all the way down the city. Just stopped the hoof.

"Let your officers come out to speak!" At the head of the queue is a middle-aged knight, with a western face and a short voice, with a strong voice.

Biedro hurried up a few steps: "I'm Bigelow, head of Big Ears, sir, please report your identity."

"My name is Robert." The middle-aged knight faintly said: "Tulip family private army commander, Lord Viedro, please prepare to welcome the Duke!"

Duke? The tulip family?

Bidero searched in his mind for a long time, and then he remembered that it seemed to be vaguely recent rumors. A young grand duke had just been newly enlisted ... Although the imperial capital coup had passed for several months, but In this world, after all, there are no telephones, no newspapers and no internet, and the news is not passed fast. Besides, this closed city of big ears?

However, the identity of a duke is definitely not negligible than that of Edro, and he hastily ordered a lineup. After waiting for a while under the city, I saw a horse carriage coming slowly behind the guard of dozens of Imperial Forest Cavalry.

When Viedro saw the duke coming out of the carriage, he was really surprised. This duke ... is just an underage boy.

But the thought only flashed a little in Biedro's mind, and he quickly knelt down on one knee to salute: "Sir, welcome to Big Ear City."

Dou Wei frowned. The big ear city in front of him was too worn out. The wall built on the mountain was relatively complete and the height was in line with the military system of the empire. However, it can be seen that it has not been repaired for many years, the stone has been peeled off in many places, and there are also large cracks on the city walls. The soldiers patrolling above were listless.

He gently took off his gloves, fanned his wind, and sighed, "Okay, Lord, I don't have much time. Now take me to the person I want ... Damn it! The weather is really uncomfortable. "

As Dewey walked into the gate, Viedro quickly followed.

Entering Big Ear City, Du Wei found that the place was far more rundown than he thought. There are few decent streets in the city, and the two sides seem to be low and short. Further inside, there is a large wall of three meters high.

"What about the person I want?"

"Everyone is waiting on the school grounds." Viedro's careful companion: "I had been ordered to think you would come last night, and those people have been waiting last night ... "

Du Wei's pace slowed a bit, and he looked back at the tired leader. A peaceful smile appeared: "Oh, sorry, leader. The road on this road is too difficult, so we missed the time."

Where Viedro dare to accept an apology from a duke, he hurriedly said no. Then took a few steps, led Du Wei and his team through the gate under the fence and went to the school yard.

The ground was completely paved with lime and stones, and the wind passed. A lot of dust will be rolled up. Du Wei sighed: "It seems that your land is very tight."

Biedro immediately cried and said, "Isn't it? My lord ... I've racked my brain for money. God, tens of thousands of people are detained here all year round, and my 2,000 soldiers, but they are transported. However, supplies are often delayed. There are barren mountains around here. I ca n’t let my people spit sand. And equipment ... ”Then, he lowered his voice and said,“ Master, it ’s not me who complains. Do n’t hide that you said, I There are two thousand people under him, but they can only gather eight hundred sets of armor and equipment! Every year, my people can only take turns to use when patrolling. Only eight hundred soldiers have weapons in hand, but they have to guard more than 10,000 prisoners. ... "

Du Wei laughed, looking at this guy with a grin on his face, and suddenly said, "You have been here for many years, right?"

The words immediately stabbed Viedro's sore place ... indeed, this place where the bird does not lay eggs. No one wants to be a **** leader here. Being a leader here is not as comfortable as being a captain in other cities! But Biedero is the unlucky official. One has no background and the other does not know how to be an official, but has been nailed to Daercheng like a nail for eight years. According to the empire's military system, local officers should be rotated once every three years, and promoted or degraded depending on the assessment results, but he was more than Edro, who has not been able to move his **** here for eight years ...

Looking at Viedro's bitter face, Dewey suddenly smiled and lowered his voice: "Do you know why you can't always get up?"

"... Master, please give pointers!" Viedro's eyes lighted up.

"Because of what you said to me just now, these complaints!" Du Wei smiled.

This guy complains at every turn, and exposes his weaknesses to the sergeant ... who would like it? In the military or in the officialdom, Huahua sedan people carry people. When a superior arrives, who is not desperately showing the brightest and most beautiful side? That is, this idiot will keep complaining.

Such a guy, of course, ca n’t eat it in officialdom.

"If you want to be promoted, I will teach you a way." Du Wei laughed: "The next time any boss comes here, you better let your people dress up beforehand, and then This place is clean and beautiful, no matter what your difficulties are, you must pretend that everything is going smoothly and successfully ... Then, I promise you will be able to rise in two years. "

After listening to this, Viedro was quite touched. He couldn't help but be amazed for a while. When he got the taste, he found that Du Wei had gone far, and hurried to catch up.

The campus of this concentration camp is larger than any other training camp. But the ground was a lot worse, and despite wearing sturdy horse boots, Du Wei still felt uncomfortable under his feet.

He then saw the dark crowd above the square.

Four thousand people, all wearing worn out prison uniforms, sitting on the ground in a lethargic position, everyone is covered with dust. His face was indifferent, his eyes numb and empty.

This is your future infantry regiment?

Du Wei frowns: "Why are they so unconscious?"

"This ..." Viedro scratched his hair: "Sir, I have received the message that you will be here last night, so I called them out last night and sat here all night And ... "Viedro sighed:" Recently there is not enough supplies and food is short. These prisoners can only eat one meal a day. "

Du Wei immediately got angry!

Eat every day?

These are their future soldiers! !! This **** guy, dare to starve his soldiers?

But looking at Viedro's face frowning. Du Wei couldn't get angry at him, and he could see that the commander couldn't help it.

Sure enough ...

"... Even my people can only eat two meals a day, and only officers can guarantee the supply of three meals a day." Viedro sighed: "If the supply comes ten days later, then Even military officers are reducing their food rations. "

Du Wei turned around, staring at Viedro carefully: "So nervous? What is responsible for your supply ..."

"It's the Northwest Army." Viedro smiled bitterly: "Master, here is the Northwest. According to the Empire ’s Northwest Theater Regulations 20 years ago, all supplies in the Northwest were delivered to the Northwest Army Command. Allocate ... and the problem is ... "

At this point, Viedro hesitated a bit, and didn't seem to know if he should go down.

Du Wei saw the hesitation of this guy. He said deeply, "Say, I don't blame you!"

The old Duke, who is in front of Viedro's heart, is the most senior man who has come here over the years. He has responded to these problems countless times, but he has never heard of it!

"Master. The two thousand garrison troops in Big Ear City belong to the Empire's local garrison rather than the Northwest Corps. But in the northwest, all military supplies are distributed by the Northwest Corps. So ... "

"So what?"

Biedro looked at Dewey's eyes, and suddenly he didn't know where he had the courage, gritted his teeth and said, "So. Those of us are raised by the queen mother! The annual supply is our latest. Yes, they are often detained. Just fifty miles away, a Northwest Army barracks is stationed with an infantry regiment, and they can eat delicious and spicy every year ... we here ... you see it too.

Dou Wei frowned, pondered for a while: "Why is this happening? According to the imperial order, the supply and supply of local defense forces should be supported by the local government's fiscal revenue. Why should the Northwest Army control this power in the Northwest? "

"This ..." Viedro smiled wryly: "This interim decree was promulgated during the Northwest War more than two decades ago. According to the local war situation at that time, the Northwest was classified as a theater. This decree is also reasonable. But The problem is that the war has been over for twenty years ... This temporary decree has not been cancelled. The guys of the Northwest Army. They will only guard short. The Northwest Army ’s own army is fully fed and dressed, and our local defense forces ... ... hehe. "

Du Wei's face was somber that he did not expect that the situation in the northwest had already reached such a serious level!

Wartime doctrine?

If that decree hasn't been cancelled ... then own province of Desa ...

A part of the financial revenue is given to the Northwest Army each year? ?

Du Wei pondered for a while, this question is not clear now. He pressed these thoughts in his heart and looked at the prisoners sitting still on the square.

"Go find someone to push a car, I want to speak." Du Wei ordered against Edro.

Soon, an old ox cart was pushed over and placed in the middle of the crowd. Du Wei jumped into the car and took a deep breath:

"Attention everyone!"

He slammed and tore off his cloak, revealing a black magician robe inside!

Du Wei arranged a magic around him so that his voice could cover the audience far.

The attention of the four thousand prisoners has focused on Dewey, the magician standing on the ox cart ... it seems so familiar.

"Hum!" Du Wei sneered, and with a majesty on his face, shouted, "I believe that most of you should remember me! Recognize me!"

Someone started talking in a low voice. Thousands of eyes looked at Du Wei with complex eyes.

Yes, many people recognize Dewey. Because most of the people present experienced what happened in the square on the day of the coup.

This boy, wearing a black magician robe, left a deep and deep impression on everyone on that day!

"Yes, I looked through your eyes, you remember me!" Du Wei sneered. Loudly: "Yes, I am Dewey. The original Dewey-Rorin of the Roulin family, now the Duke of the Empire, Dewey Rudolph, the Duke of Tulips, is also a magician recognized by the magic union and a palace magician. Court scholars, court astrologers ... and in the future, I will be your master! Your sir !! "

Du Wei said all of this in one breath. He stood on top and carefully observed the expression of the four thousand prisoners below. Seeing that their eyes had recovered from the hollow numbness, little by little, he was satisfied with the result, and then he sighed with anger. Shouted loudly:

"Everyone obeys! The 1st Corps of the Second Division of the Wangjia Guards! Parade !!!"

With Dewey yelling, the prepared Robert Cavaliers by the side has let out a horn.

The loud horn sounded to withdraw from the audience, and Du Weidi shouted in the middle: "All officers, stand out for me, I ask you to line up at the fastest speed! The officers count your number and report To your local governor, if you have n’t finished the exercise queue after the horn is finished, then wait for the military law !!! ”

Boom!

The crowd is boiling. These soldiers in prisoner clothes. In their numb eyes, there was a hint of bravery that had been hidden for many days. Although they had been deprived of all their freedom and glory, fortunately, the instinct of the soldiers who had deeply flowed into their blood was not lost.

Soon, the crowd surged like ants, and everyone stood up and began to line up according to their original organization.

At the end of the trumpet, there are no longer four thousand prisoners scattered in the square on the square. But a neat square matrix!

Several squares are lined up within the required time. But when the officers reported the results layer by layer, the report reached the highest level. But stagnation.

Because they are not here. The chief of the infantry regiment has been executed after the coup.

Several officers hesitated, one of them was a bit smarter, watching Du Wei standing on the ox cart, striding towards Du Wei, and then making a **** etiquette, reporting loudly in line. the result of.

With this first one, the other officers had no choice but to report to Du Wei one by one.

Du Wei was very satisfied with the result, and looked at the first officer who reported to him with an encouraging look.

"Very good!" Du Wei coughed and cleared his throat: "I'm relieved that after four months, you still maintain the instinct of the soldiers!"

"I know that you are very tired and hungry now ... You have been sitting here for one night, and you have been hungry for one night. You are very upset and have fear! Because you were transferred here by a paper order, big Ear City! The famous evil city on the mainland! "Du Wei cried out," I believe most of you must know that all prisoners who come to Ear City and northwest will face how miserable Destiny! "

At this point, Du Wei shouted at the people below: "Yes! You are all prisoners now, you are sinners! You should be sent to the northwest desert to sand the sand! Go down and move the stone with the whip of the supervisor! Then you can only eat a little wild vegetable soup that is thin enough to reflect the shadows. I promise that in less than a year, most of you will die! No Opportunity to survive the sentence! "

Du Wei pointed to his nose: "If you didn't have me, your fate would be like this. If I didn't come here to save you guys!"
