After not sitting for long, four people, Scott, Just, Lavoisier, and Aleister, came in one after another.
They greeted each other and sat down.
What William saw when he came in was this scene in Zhongyang Ying Hall.
"Have you all had breakfast?"
Everyone stood up quickly and said, "Have eaten." William waved for them to sit down, and he sat on the main seat.
"Everyone knows what happened yesterday. There are two main things to discuss today. The first is about how to deal with the rebels led by Kelly Ford. The second is to discuss the future governance of Barren Territory."
After looking around, his eyes fell on Pisius and asked him to speak first.
Pitheus was about to stand up and salute again, but William waved his hand and pressed him down, so he nodded and said:
"Let me first summarize the results of yesterday's action."
"One is the operation led by Director Guland. The encirclement and suppression of the two major forces, Byrne and Perroton, was a great success. Their influence in Fenghuo City has been initially eliminated. The next step is to eliminate all evil forces.
The other one is that the lord personally led an operation against Calif, which was also completely successful. Calif was captured alive and took over the garrison. Calif is now imprisoned in the dungeon."
"My suggestion for how to deal with Kelly Ford and others is to kill the big ones and let go the small ones."
"As for the future governance work in Barren Territory, I hope to start with the purification of the Government Affairs Department, and then extend to various departments until the control of grassroots villages is completed."
William listened carefully, with a slight smile on his face and no other expression.
After Pisius finished speaking, William nodded slightly and asked others for their opinions.
After everyone finished speaking, William made the final decision:
"If you want to deal with the families of Kelly Ford, Tripp, Byrne, and Perrotone, Director Guland, I'll leave it to you. As for the former accomplices of the four of them, investigate first, as long as there are no unforgivable
If it’s a mistake, it will be written off.”
"Yes!" Grande calmly accepted the order.
"Pisius, the Government Affairs Office is entrusted to you. Just do it according to your ideas. I fully support you. In addition, Lavoisier..."
He turned to look at Lavoisier, he was the tax collector sent by the royal capital.
"You are going to enter the Government Affairs Department, take over the previous tax work, and cooperate with Pisius to complete the purge of the Government Affairs Department."
"Yes!" Pisius and Lavoisier responded in unison.
Just by arranging the work of three people, it is equivalent to arranging the Government Affairs Department and the Public Security Department.
The most important affairs in the Barron Territory are government affairs, finance, and military affairs.
Government affairs belong to the Government Affairs Department, and finance also belongs to the Government Affairs Department. The difference is not a strict direct relationship. After all, taxation is a matter of concern to the royal capital.
The last item is military.
"Scott, how is the current situation of the garrison?"
"Back to the lord, I sorted out the information on the soldiers of the garrison in the camp yesterday, and at the same time understood the situation with the squad leaders. I have taken over the army initially, but it will take at least half a month to fully control it."
"Half a month..."
William pondered for a few breaths, "According to past rules, the aliens will definitely invade and plunder within three months... We are very pressed for time."
Scott was solemn and said in a deep voice: "Please give me a week, and I will definitely complete the task."
Hey guys, cut the time in half at once.
Although William won the hearts and minds of some soldiers through improvisation last night, it is not that simple to completely control them.
Scott secretly thought that even if he worked day and night, he must complete it within a week.
Regarding military affairs, neither Piceus nor Lavoisier said anything, and they had a tacit understanding not to interfere.
Gu Lande, on the other hand, continued to pretend to be a taciturn character because he was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu.
"No, I'll give you half a month..."
After thinking for a moment, William decided to give Scott plenty of time.
The military is not like the personnel work of the Government Affairs Department. There is no need to rush. If you rush, it will easily lead to disaster.
Especially after the garrison underwent great changes.
It is better to be steady than to rush.
"It will take half a month to completely wash away the influence of Kelly Ford, and then strictly prepare for the alien invasion."
"Yes, Scott's order!"
At this time, everyone in the hall except Juster and Aleister had received their own tasks. Of course, Brayman was not included. He took the initiative to serve as William's knight, and other matters had nothing to do with him.
William did not immediately respond to Aleister's burning gaze, but looked at Just.
This summoned companion has a steady personality and is quite taciturn.
But his heroic act of resisting all the rebellious soldiers last night still impressed Scott.
"Juster, are you willing to lead the army?"
Although he knew that Juster's specialty was leading troops in battle, William still asked him first. When Juster said he was willing, William continued:
"In that case, you first select 300 people from the City of Plenty Guard Corps to form a knighthood, let's call it the Fearless Vanguard."
Fearless Pioneer?
Hearing this, Just's heart suddenly moved.
This title is exactly the title of the regiment he led in Plejwe.
First there was the inscription of the Hall of Justice, and then the Knights named it the Fearless Vanguard.
William's actions all made Juster feel caring, but he was not good at expressing his feelings and just nodded silently in agreement.
William continued:
"The number of the Fengrao City garrison is 3,000, and the left and right acropolis also have 1,000 soldiers each."
"Juster, you lead the Fearless Vanguard and take over these 2,000 people first. Integrate, train, and select them, and strive to create a strong army before the alien invasion. Then select 100 from each of the 2,000 people, plus the original
300, totaling 500 people, for the time being, the number of Fearless Vanguards will be 500."
"yes!"
The soldiers in the Barron Territory are divided into two parts.
One is the standing army, that is, the garrison. They do not engage in production but focus on training. They are the most powerful military force in the territory. The standing army in the Barron Territory has 5,000 people and is divided into three towns.
The second is the peasant soldiers.
Peasant soldiers are usually farmers. Only when they encounter an invasion by foreign enemies or are recruited by a lord will they take up arms and become soldiers.
Now that Kelly Ford and others have fallen, the guards in the left and right acropolis will definitely not dare to resist.
not to mention.
William asked Juster to lead 300 people. Even if the other party rebelled, Juster could directly suppress and destroy them.
After arranging Just, everyone looked at Aleister.
He is young, only 20 years old, and is a mage apprentice.
"Aleister, there used to be a mage tower in the City of Fertility. It was abandoned a few years ago. Do you need help repairing it?"
"No, no." Aleister waved his hand quickly: "I am just a mage apprentice and am not qualified to use the tower. I will just find a manor next to Black Rock Castle to study magic."
"That's okay." William nodded slightly, "If you meet someone with magical talent, you can go to the Government Affairs Department to withdraw gold coins for training. Of course, all your magic research will be supported by the Government Affairs Department."
Aleister thanked him happily: "Thank you for your support!"
