Zhou Wen glared at the man with dissatisfaction, muttered to himself, and greeted the maids and palace maids to start working: "It's true, why are you so smart? And I just came here soon for lunch. I still want to do some cooking for myself."

This group of palace maids who were regarded as gifts obviously did not expect that there were so many women who were more beautiful than palace maids around the little warlords in this remote area.

Seeing that these women were dressed only as maids, coupled with Zhou Wen's heroic appearance and those murderous guards, especially the warlord, just glanced at the palace maids, and then took it seriously, making these palace maids who were originally a little proud of themselves immediately become extremely well-behaved.

"See lord!" Peter and his men saluted Zhao Hu and greeted him.

Zhao Hu waved his hand casually and asked them to sit down while looking at these subordinates.

After seeing the personnel clearly, Zhao Hu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. It can be said that except for a few people who were unable to leave due to the importance of their jobs, all the real and powerful civil and military officials of Zhao Hu's warlords in this place were here.

Seeing everyone sitting down and looking at him with a gaze, Zhao Hu couldn't help but smile and said, "The reward from the imperial capital was entrusted to the caravan of the Free Alliance, and the caravan that left just now is the one."

When Peter and others found that the lord saw through the mentality of his people, they smiled a little embarrassedly. Peter, the highest official, asked cautiously: "Lord, I wonder what reward the imperial capital has given?"

"The crown prince sent a batch of fabrics and utensils in his personal name, oh, and ten palace maids, and wrote a letter that hinted that I would be loyal to him." Zhao Hu said.

As soon as these words were said, everyone despised the crown prince. They really thought that their lord was a beggar. Such a little thing could be taken out by any general on the Southeast Peninsula.

"Then the military headquarters promoted me to the Emperor's Major General, and gave me the 20th Army of the Emperor, and also sent a batch of military ranks, letters of appointment, military flags, seals and other things." Zhao Hu said lightly.

"Ah, doesn't this mean that we can openly have the strength of a legion? Ahha, that's more than 400,000 troops!" An officer shouted excitedly. Although his voice was loud enough, the discussion below had been very high, and it made him seem not so prominent.

"Stop dreaming in the daytime. The military headquarters gave it a short number. The entire legion needs to be reorganized by ourselves. Now we don't have a division yet. I still want to create a legion with five divisions?" A civil servant next to him immediately poured cold water on him.

"Hey, we can't form a legion now, can't we be able to form a legion in the future? Besides, what we want is tiger skin! We really send a fierce tiger over, but we dare not ask for it." The military officer said indifferently.

"Listen to me." Zhao Hu said in a plain tone, and the originally noisy bottom immediately became silent. I don't know how they could clearly hear Zhao Hu's words from the noise.

"The cabinet gave two rewards, one of which was a gold ticket that could withdraw gold coins from any gold bank in the Free Alliance, with a denomination of 10,000."

After hearing Zhao Hu's words, although everyone did not speak out, looking at the contemptuous look, you will know what they think of the generousness of the cabinet.

"The other one is to appoint me as the governor of Haibin and Haiquan provinces." Zhao Hu's light words stunned everyone below.

People from the Southeast Peninsula looked confused, while people from the Empire were shocked. Peter even stuttered and asked, "Governor? Lord, I, my subordinate, have you heard it wrong?"

"No, here's the letter of appointment." Zhao Hu handed over the letter of government order.

Peter immediately jumped up after scanning the documents: "Great! Lord, I think this appointment should be promoted to the world immediately!"

People from the Southeast Peninsula were itchy and asked someone to ask. When they knew what the governor meant, all the civil and military officers burst out and laughed: "Haha, with such a great reputation, the great talents from the surrounding areas must have flocked to join the lord, and the surrounding families will also choose the lord as their backers!

"Even if we attacked everywhere and fought in a fierce battle, no one would say that the lord was in a state of war! The lord can finally unify the seaside province with justification! Hey, I also brought a sea spring province. This reward is really perfect!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the emperor would be so generous. Not only was the governor of the Haibin Province, but also the governor of the Haiquan Province. It would be legitimate to find trouble for the Haiquan Province in this way." The military officer said with a ferocious face.

"Hmph, don't take it lightly. The appointment of the imperial capital is definitely uneasy. Don't forget that the mastermind in Haiquan Province is the seventh prince. The emperor always wants to kill people with a knife." The civil servant rolled his eyes and said.

"Hey, we're going to kill each other anyway. It's the same whether to borrow a knife or not. It's okay." As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials laughed.

"Okay, don't be too excited. This is just a tiger skin. If you really want to show off your might, you have to rely on our own strength."

Zhao Hu waved his hand, interrupted everyone's discussion and asked, "How is the training status of the 30,000 newly recruited recruits now?"

The military officer in charge of the training of the recruits immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Lord, the basic training of the recruits has been completed. Now wait for the lord to give him a number to form an army, and then go to the battlefield for practical training."

“How much infantry equipment is in stock?”

As soon as Zhao Hu said this, the civil servant in charge of warehouse management immediately came forward to report: "Lord, there are currently 100,000 sets of imperial soldiers' uniforms, 10,000 sets of lieutenant uniforms, 1,000 sets of school uniforms, more than 30,000 leather armor, 70,000 rattan armor, and 5,000 iron armor.

"In terms of weapons, there are: 57,000 long spears, 110,000 machetes, more than 30,000 human shields, more than 70,000 round shields, more than 23,000 long bows, ten thousand strong bows, five thousand crossbows, one thousand powerful crossbows, more than 70,000 bowstrings, twenty thousand iron-headed wooden pole arrows, and five thousand carved feather arrows..."

"How to configure the new recruit equipment?" Zhao Hu asked again.

During this period, in order to train a large number of subordinates who have just entered the new position, Zhao Hu deliberately gave only a policy, and then ignored how the old servants below commanded the new subordinates.

So now I have to ask for everything to know the situation. Of course, this is also to give everyone a better understanding of the overall situation. The military officers responsible for this work immediately stood up and answered: "After discussion and inspection, I believe that the basic equipment for all soldiers is equipped with machetes, and then the basic organization with three guns, one shield and one bow is the most appropriate.

"In addition, I think that each brigade needs a small team of crossbow soldiers, so that a corps will have a squadron of crossbow soldiers, and the bowmen from each corps will have enough ranged attack power.

"Similarly, a corps also needs a strong crossbow soldiers, which are specially used to snipe enemy officers. As for the protective facilities, I think that general soldiers can wear vine armor, and lieutenants above the lieutenant should wear iron armor."

Zhao Hu nodded: "Well, it's right, so on this basis, they will be organized into one corps and two auxiliary brigades of three combat brigades and two auxiliary brigades. The officers above the squad leader were evenly transferred from several existing infantry brigades, and the squad leader would select from the new recruits.

Then, from the four existing reorganized infantry brigades, one corps will be drawn to each of them to become the Fifth Brigade, and two new recruits will be placed in each brigade. This way, leading the new can better train the new combat capabilities.

If we expand our troops in the future, we can easily use a veteran of the corps as the foundation of the brigade. In this way, as long as qualified new recruits can keep up, they can easily form twenty brigades. At that time, it will be almost the same to form a legion."

"Yes." The military officers immediately received the order happily. Judging from the lord's intention, they had already begun to prepare for a legion. When a legion appeared, wouldn't they be soaring? As long as they have great merits, the position of division commander is not a dream.

At this time, a military officer with Lu Zhi as his appearance and personality immediately jumped up and shouted: "Lord, this period of rest has made my bones loose all over my body, and I feel very tired! When will the war start? I wish I could make achievements for my lord immediately!"

"Don't worry, even if you want to send troops, you have to wait until the new recruits are organized." Zhao Hu said with a smile.

The other military officers hiding below and watching the wind immediately jumped up when they heard this: "Lord, who is our target this time? As long as the lord gives the order, I will draw my sword in person!"

Zhao Hu did not answer the question, but instead smiled and said, "Okay, you can train soldiers first, and you will know when you send troops."

Since Zhao Hu had already said this, everyone could only hold back the itchy feeling and shut their mouths. The military officers seemed listless in the subsequent internal affairs, and they did not regain their energy until the meal was about to start.

Coastal province.

The businessman named Lu Jun didn't know what the benefits he had taken over the crown prince, so he actually sent all his subordinates out and spread the benefits he had sent to Zhao Hu for the imperial capital.

When Zhao Hujun's territory was surging by the news circulating everywhere, Lu Jun's subordinates even ran to other areas with bags of coins and bought local gangsters and beggars to promote it. After he did this, it spread throughout the entire coastal province in just a few days.
