Chapter 228 The Arrival of a Group of Refugees
Winning over these middle-level managers is Zhang Bo's main method now. Now that Zhang Caidong has successfully given him the authority to recommend who will become the commander of the spiritual world, it means that Zhang Bo has the power over personnel.
Personnel is politics.
This is a very real problem.
Zhang Bo stretched out his hand and pointed at 20 Blue Star humans who were closer to him, more capable, and more reliable and efficient.
This gave them the opportunity to become the commander of the spirit world today.
Then he took them to the noble mansion, met Shen Mu, and was directly appointed as centurions by Shen Mu amidst his respectful greetings. He also gave each of them 10 Swadian civilians.
In their eyes, this is the completion of the inheritance of the spiritual world commander.
"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, respected Lord Shen Mu." These humans from Blue Star put their hands on their chests and retreated respectfully from the noble mansion.
The Holy Tree Knights escorted them away and once again stood guard at the nobles' door.
But it was inside the noble mansion.
Shen Mu sat on his lord's chair and watched these Blue Star humans leave, with a thoughtful look on his face: "Now more and more humans are beginning to become spiritual commanders. If each person has 10 Swadian soldiers, then 10 Blue Star humans will have 100 Swadian soldiers, and 100 Blue Star humans will have 1000 Swadian soldiers. If there are 1000 Blue Star humans, that would be 1 Swadian soldiers."
Now that more and more humans from Blue Star have become centurions, the pressure on Shen Mu is evident in the number of Mounted Blade soldiers.
Although Shen Mu has a large number of mounted and bladed civilian units, the number of these mounted and bladed civilian units is currently only around two thousand.
If you really count them, those 200 humans from Blue Star can take up all of these Mount and Blade civilian units.
"Now I have to consider whether I can add some civilian Mounted Blade units, especially now that New Rivadin and New Ushkhor have been built, and they need to start deploying a large number of troops and personnel to garrison there, so new troops have become a problem."
Shen Mu was thinking.
If we think along this line, then we need to solve the problem of where these new soldiers come from.
At this time, Shen Mu thought of the world of Mount and Blade Warband.
"If I can conquer the world of Mount & Blade Warband, then I can get an endless supply of Mount & Blade civilian units." Shen Mu couldn't help but frown. He really didn't understand how to conquer the world of Mount & Blade Warband. After all, he couldn't take the initiative to recruit Mount & Blade civilian units now.
After all, these Mounted Blade civilian units are not the same as Mounted Blade soldiers. They can be promoted and recruited through the town’s military camps and the Mounted Blade civilians themselves.
After all, the Mount and Blade civilian is the most basic civilian unit and is the most basic foundation.
It is already the most basic unit, how can we recruit and promote it?
Of course, Shen Mu also knew that there were many civilian Mounted and Bladed units consisting of both men and women in his town and two castles, and there were also relatively few young civilian children.
That is, children aged fourteen or fifteen, and also civilian units.
But there are more male civilians who ride and sword, and even female civilians rarely speak.
According to normal biological logic, men and women must mate with each other to give birth to the next generation, thus increasing the population.
But if we just count them this way, there are nearly 10 to men, to women, and dozens of children. This ratio is a bit exaggerated.
If we really follow biological logic and allow men and women to mate and give birth to the next generation, then how can these two or three hundred women possibly satisfy these four or five thousand men?
Just thinking about it made Shen Mu feel a little bit uncomfortable.
[Ding! Your current needs have been detected! The Mount and Blade system function is in effect! You can consume the power of faith to issue a refugee recruitment order in the Mount and Blade Warband world! Recruit a group of homeless refugees to join your forces! ]
[Attention! The refugee recruitment order you issued is not limited to those homeless people. Because of your high reputation, even those civilians who own land, or town residents who are willing to start a new life, are willing to actively respond to your refugee recruitment order and join you! ]
[Therefore, if your refugee recruitment order affects the political stability and economic output of the country, it will have a negative impact on the nobles and supreme rulers of the country. ]
[Please use this refugee recruitment order with caution. ]
"..." Shen Mu was slightly stunned, looking at the dialog box that appeared in front of him, and the whole person felt a little helpless: "Okay, okay, this Mount and Blade system is really a worm in my stomach. When I want something or need something, my Mount and Blade system can help me complete it."
Of course he had nothing to say about this, after all, this was his golden finger.
"Then use the refugee recruitment order." Shen Mu's mind directly communicated with his Mount and Blade system. At the same time, as the use of the refugee recruitment order emerged in his mind, he also had an idea in his mind: "If I choose a country, then choose the Kingdom of Swadia!"
His reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia was already quite high, and for him, the Kingdom of Swadia was equivalent to an important logistics base.
If you can use the refugee recruitment order from the Kingdom of Swadia, then the refugees you get will definitely be Swadians.
In this way, his own Dehrim will definitely be able to replenish the Swadian civilians quickly.
As if sensing Shen Mu's thoughts, new content appeared in the dialog box in front of him.
[Ding! You used the refugee recruitment order. The price of using this refugee recruitment order is 1 points of faith power.]
[You have conveyed your need for a large number of refugees from the unclaimed land to come and build your territory together in the Kingdom of Swadia through the refugee recruitment order.]
[About 1000 Swadian civilians heard your voice and are planning to come and join you.]
[Note that no matter which kingdom's civilian units come here, they will come to you as the most basic civilians. You can train them into soldiers of different kingdoms through different castle military buildings or town military buildings. ]
"Train them into soldiers of different kingdoms through different castle military buildings or town military buildings?" Shen Mu looked at the content of the dialog box in the last column, and was slightly stunned. Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that the soldiers of a certain force will appear according to the military buildings of that force. This solves my problem of choosing the type of soldiers."
After all, there is no other way.
Among the six countries in Mount and Blade, each country focuses on different special forces.
For example, the Kingdom of Swadia excels in heavy shock cavalry, while the Kingdom of Nord excels in heavy melee infantry.
The Rhodok Kingdom excels in heavy defensive infantry and sniper crossbowmen.
The Kingdom of Vikia excels in sharpshooters and heavy attack troops.
The Khergit Khanate excelled in light shock cavalry and horse archers.
The Sarranid Sultanate excels in heavy cavalry represented by the Mamluks.
It can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
However, if the special forces of all kingdoms could be mixed together, that would be the advantage of the Calradia Empire, combining all the advantages of these kingdoms into one.
The line of defense is composed of the Rhodok Kingdom's heavy defensive spear phalanx infantry.
Siege has the heavy melee infantry of the Nordic Kingdom.
If you want to win or break the stalemate, you can send in the heavy attack infantry of the Kingdom of Vigia, who use two-handed axes and have extremely strong attack power.
As for long-range shooters, whether it is the Rhodok sniper crossbowman or the Vikia sharpshooter, they can make the enemy suffer.
And in terms of cavalry, the Khugit Khanate's light cavalry can be sent out for reconnaissance or archers can be sent out for harassment at any time.
If the enemy dares to come out in a small group of people, it would be easy to send out light shock cavalry to deal with them.
If the enemy appears with a large number of soldiers, Swadia's heavy shock cavalry group can easily crush the enemy in the plains.
And when the Swadian heavy shock cavalry group tore through the enemy's formation, the Mamluk heavy cavalry could follow up and use stronger melee skills to eliminate the enemy's attempt to close the formation.
In addition, the Vikia Knights in the Vikia Kingdom are also heavy cavalrymen who are heavily armed and focus all their combat power on attack. They can also exert even more powerful combat power, using two-handed battle axes to swing on horseback and severely disrupt the enemy's formation.
At this time, the enemy's formation must have collapsed completely. The commander had the final say on whether the light shock cavalry or archers of the Khugit Khanate would continue to harass the enemy or deliver the final blow.
It can be said that this is the reason why the Calradia Empire is so powerful.
The top troops of these six kingdoms are actually ordinary and regular troops of the Calradia Empire.
This is also the reason why everyone regards the Mount and Blade Warband event as an independent meta-world, because the Calradia Empire where the Mount and Blade Warband world itself is located is an empire in a separate background.
In fact, the world of Mount & Blade Warband itself has a completely different development from the world of Mount & Blade Overlord, which is the background world of the Calradia Empire, which nominally had not been completely split hundreds of years ago but had just begun to split.
It's just that in name only that the Mount & Blade Overlord event is the foreshadowing of the world of Mount & Blade Warband which is further back in the timeline.
But fundamentally there is not much connection between the two.
There are just some connections in the background.
[Ding! A group of refugees from the Kingdom of Swadia came to your Dhrim and saw the town you built. They were filled with joy. Now you need to send someone to guide those refugees here. ]
[Ding! Because you recruited homeless refugees and damaged the interests of the Kingdom of Swadia, King Harlaus is extremely dissatisfied with you. Now King Harlaus's approval of you has declined. ]
【Ding! King Harlaus condemns you.】
Then, right in front of Shen Mu's eyes, the new dialog box content on the Internet was refreshed again, indicating that the homeless refugees from the Kingdom of Swadia had come to his Dehrim.
And there was also the content in which King Haras condemned him.
"It's normal. I already know King Haras very well. There is no problem. Just condemn him. It doesn't matter anyway." Shen Mu shrugged. This was indeed something King Haras could do.
At this moment, there was a noisy sound coming from outside.
At the same time, a Holy Tree Knight walked over to the door of the noble mansion and reported to him: "Lord Shen Mu, Knight Fatis came to report that he had found a group of refugees from the Kingdom of Swadia. They plan to come to you for refuge. At the same time, Knight Fatis needs you to make arrangements."
"Tell Fatis to take people over to receive those refugees. They all come here to seek refuge with me. Since they plan to come here to seek refuge with me, then choose to take them in." Shen Mu raised his hand and said to the Holy Tree Knight.
"Understood. I'll tell Knight Fatis right away." The Holy Tree Knight nodded, then turned and left the noble mansion.
Then, after receiving the order, Fatis turned around, mounted his warhorse, and went to greet the homeless refugees with about 10 Swadian heavy cavalrymen.
As a role model of the nobility, Fatis certainly hopes that these homeless people can stay here. This will not only bring some new blood to Shenmu's Dehrim, but also take in these poor homeless people and give them a new future.
Fatis pulled the reins of his warhorse and looked at the homeless people in front of him who had arrived at the edge of Dehrim. They were all covered in dust and looked extremely embarrassed, with expressions of fatigue on their faces.
There was also a smile on his face.
"Everyone! I'm glad you can come to the Kingdom of Swadia. I know you are all homeless people who came here because of the reputation of Lord Shen Mu. Now that you are here, I sincerely wish you a bright future here, because the respected and kind Lord Shen Mu is willing to take you in!"
Fatis came in front of them and spoke loudly about Lord Shen Mu's arrangements. He also asked these homeless people to elect about 10 leaders each so that they could settle themselves.
Of course, after hearing what Fatis said, the homeless people all shouted and cheered loudly.
Because the reason they came to Dehrim was because they heard that Lord Shen Mu wanted to obtain some refugees to cultivate the lands within his growing sphere of influence.
This is also why these homeless people are willing to come with their families, carrying large and small bags.
Of course, Shen Mu did not pay too much attention to the arrival of these refugees. He just told a Holy Tree Knight who was serving as a servant next to him: "Regarding the placement of these homeless people, let Manide be responsible."
As the current ruling governor, Manideh should be responsible for these most basic people's livelihood issues.
