Rise In Calradia

Chapter 351: : Changing the status of soldiers

All sorts of chores kept Byron busy for a few days, and then he immediately set off to Veluga, bringing the best trophies to condolences to His Royal Highness. These were carefully selected by him, including a Kujit-style gilded long knife. , Six strong steppe war horses, twenty complete Kujit armors, one hundred sharp sabers and high-quality composite bows, as well as gold and silver jewelry and jewelry worth eight thousand dinars. At the same time, he also sent people to the north to send a condolence to the Konniss family, the value is equivalent to Konniss income three years before his death.

Of course, the starting point of all this is that Byron made money. You must know that his loss during the rescue of Dherim and the expedition to the grassland was not a little bit. 357 soldiers, 90 cavalry, and 5 sergeants died in battle or were unable to continue fighting due to disability or injury, equivalent to a quarter of the total number of the entire group. Such a battle damage can't be paid back if you get a few thousand silver dinar coins.

Fortunately, the harvest this time is indeed enough, enough to allow Byron to let go of his hands and feet in a short time to spend money. Byron regained a large amount of the property robbed by the Kurgits. According to the agreement between him and Earl Clays, half of them were returned to Earl Clays, and the other half belonged to Byron. And the trophies of the Kurgits, of course, belong to Byron. So Byron suddenly obtained gold and silver utensils equivalent to 30,000 dinars, jewellery brocades, beautiful accessories and clothing, and hundreds of almost intact armors. Most of their owners were killed before they put on these armors or Surrender.

In addition, Byron also captured a large number of Kojit prisoners, most of them will be arranged for hard labor. In Byron's newly planned mine, they will bring iron and copper to Byron. Of course, some of them will be beheaded to show the public, to add some fun to the people of Amila.

Only those noble captives are exceptions. Only part of Kujit’s thousands of households comes from generations. Many outstanding warriors on the prairie can gain a place under Nayan by virtue of their abilities, become the leader of a tribe, and get a large piece of Pastures and livestock. They may not have as many people as the land aristocrats in the West, but they cannot afford to be rich. After all, the Kujites are like this. When they lack something, they will easily think of going outside the grassland to grab it. The ransom for these people is a considerable figure.

Byron hired a ransom broker to act as an intermediary, and asked them to deliver news to their families on the prairie. If their brothers, husbands, and fathers came back, they had to pay Byron a large amount of dinars. Of course, they can also replace them with other things, such as their many cattle and sheep, and those robbed gold and silver utensils. Ransom brokers from Lana and Harma will encounter this situation from time to time when walking in the grasslands, so they have accumulated enough contacts and outlets to deal with these too many farmers in Amila can not digest. livestock. They would replace these animals and utensils with shiny dinars and hand them to Byron, and then take the captives away.

Of course, raising the ransom is not a short-term process, especially when Byron and the ransom brokers raise the amount high enough. A wife of a hundred households may have to sell her gold and silver jewelry and her husband’s exquisite saddle, while family members of a thousand households will try their best to collect 100 cows and 1,000 sheep to exchange them for the pillars of the home. Nowadays, the price of large livestock When it goes up, this is really a lot of dinars.

Every Khergit’s nobleman was redeemed, Byron would have a little celebration, which meant that a sum of dinar was sent to his cash box. Relying on trophies and captives, after removing various costs and pensions, Byron earned more than 50,000 dinars in income, making his pocketbook bulge again.

What's more gratifying is that the failed invasion of Earl Leyland gave the troops led by Fatis a wave of experience. The militia forces that have experienced the baptism of the battlefield soon showed signs of upgrading, and it only took a few days to concentrate. After training and fighting, there are hundreds of people who can be upgraded. After the upgrade, Byron will officially recruit them into the army as a local security and city defense force, and may even be included in the battle group.

You know, Byron’s battle group is very generous. Not only is the salary high, but the loot is rich. You don’t need to prepare your own armor and weapons. You can also get a pension if you are injured and killed. Now you have joined the battle group as a soldier. Not only is it regarded as a high-paying and high-risk job by the locals, it is also a good way to get rich. It is one of the most promising occupations in the local area. To become a war sergeant is equivalent to becoming a sergeant in their minds. A priest.

As a result, a special situation gradually appeared in Fort Amila. The status of the soldiers with peony patterns on their bodies began to rise rapidly, and more and more people signed up for the peony mercenaries. Resalit was strict in discipline. The requirements and Byron's reform of the military system allowed this army to truly transform into a professional army, and the status of the soldiers continued to rise in the local area.

In the past, soldiers were always fearful and had to accept. The private soldiers of the lords were often used by the taverns as a source of trouble. People also took a detour when they saw the soldiers wandering around. Not to mention the reputation of mercenaries. People dislike mercenaries and even those foreign mercenaries. No one wants to have deep friendship with them.

But now everything has changed. People began to greet the guards on patrol politely instead of being uncomfortable when they saw them. Officers with full pockets and generous spenders became guests of all shops and were regarded as militiamen. For something to be proud of, people who have experienced that battle often go to the tavern after returning home to brag with others about their brave deeds and wonderful strategies during the battle. Soldiers don’t have to worry about finding a wife, because in Byron’s army, as long as you live to complete the contractual service life and do not have the habit of wasting dinars, you will surely save a lot of money~www.readwn. com~ Go back to your hometown like a big John to live comfortably and marry the best girl in the village. Their parents are happy to agree to this kind of marriage, because the son-in-law may not only be rich, but may still have connections in the army.

In turn, this has also promoted the improvement of the quality of Byron’s troops. Even the Nord pirates in the past learned how to communicate with these southerners friendly in Amila. Some northerners also developed their ancestors’ Commercial talents have their own stalls and even small shops. And because of the bright future, the soldiers no longer squandered their lives. They began to carefully consider the things after retirement, instead of thinking about the future if they are drunk now and die sooner or later. Many people learned to save. Many people began to learn to write with military clerks and clerks, and even went to Nizha to learn poetry, all for their own future lives.

Byron is very happy to see the strength of his army increase, the relationship between the army and the local residents is getting closer, and the economy is booming. After all, no matter which change, he is the ultimate beneficiary.

If there is any defect, it is that In order to save the cost of the armed army, Byron directly used the burqet-equipped armed army, and then gave the replaced armor to the militia of the right size, so that a large number of them appeared in the army. "Kujit soldiers" also caused misunderstandings. Now when people see those soldiers covered in oriental grassland armor with compound bows and scimitars, they have to look carefully at their appearance and the burqas to tell whether they are Kujites or not.
