"I won't allow any troublemakers to appear in my city. You'll have to work hard these few days." Patting the other person's shoulder, Sean looked to the other side, where the sergeant major was.
When the other party saw him, he also bowed and saluted.
“Your name is Joseph”
"Yes, Lord Earl. I am Joseph, the Sergeant Major of Oro City."
Oro was previously under the jurisdiction of Tacoma City, so the highest status of the soldiers here was only sergeant major, and there was no higher rank. The person in front of him was only at the level of Orderer 6, which was far from the level of people of that level that he had seen in Earl Hamilton's mansion. It seemed that he would need to recruit some capable people himself in the future.
And we must pay special attention to whether there are people with ulterior motives among them.
After thinking about it, I still feel that there is no need to rush this matter.
Soldiers who train regularly can improve relatively quickly. At least it won't take a few years to go from level 5 to level 6 or level 7. It is always more reliable to train a general than to recruit him directly from outside. Moreover, at present, he does not need too much protection from the personal guards and has enough time to train them.
"Very good, you are more familiar with Oro City, so you will be responsible for public security during this break. If there are any troublemakers, arrest them all, no matter who they are, and don't let any of them go. If there are not enough people, I will arrange to recruit new soldiers later." Sean said.
Looking at each other's eyes, they suddenly lit up and there was a state of excitement in the head.
"Yes, sir. I promise that there will be no problems with public security in Oro City during these three days." Joseph admitted solemnly.
There are very special rules in the army of the Bashalan Empire
Only local lords have the right to form their own armies, and the size of the title only tells others your identity. What kind of army can be trained depends on the conditions of the local territory. For example, sometimes the military strength of a baron is not necessarily worse than that of a viscount, which is affected by the conditions of the territory.
For example, in the small town of Thelmian where he lived before, there were less than 10,000 people. His own guards could also be called personal guards, and Dante had only more than 70 people under him.
Being the captain of one's personal guard is a rather special position. It is probably as big as the city's guard. In order to avoid conflicts, some places allow one person to hold two positions at the same time.
If there is a situation where both of them need to be present, the deputy can take over.
Under the guard team are inspectors and sergeants. Both titles are of the same level, similar to squad leaders, except that inspectors are responsible for handling civil matters, such as robbery, murder, arson, etc., while sergeants are more responsible for training soldiers every day. They cultivate combat effectiveness and occasionally participate in the city's defense forces.
Above the captain of the guard is the sergeant major, who is a well-known figure in the army and has many soldiers under his command. Of course, there are also military titles such as sergeant major, corps commander, commander-in-chief, general, marshal, etc.
The most direct way to distinguish them is the number of soldiers they lead. Even in terms of income, the more soldiers they have, the more management fees they will receive. Therefore, directly telling the other party to send more soldiers is actually equivalent to saying that they will be promoted in the future. Of course, they will be very happy.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
After arranging the security issues, Sean took Aslant and Ross to the accommodation that had already been arranged.
Before I came, there were no officials in Oro City. It was just that some local wealthy families and department managers discussed and arranged accommodation for me after hearing that I was coming. The person who led the way was a member of the local Chamber of Commerce.
"Sir, what should we do next?" Ascalante suddenly asked while walking on the road.
Originally, the security was handed over to him, but considering that he was also an outsider who suddenly came to a new city and probably couldn't even find his way around, he assigned it to Joseph. However, this move seemed to make Ascalante feel a little uncomfortable.
Although it was not reflected in his expression, Sean saw the emotions appearing above his head.
"We have just arrived here and we will have a lot of things to do. After everything is settled, I want you to send a letter to the town of Telemian to tell me that the previous townspeople can move here. We still have a lot of things to organize later, so you will have to pay more attention to the army at that time." Sean said.
After hearing this, Aslant's depressed mood disappeared instantly and turned into anticipation.
"Yes, sir."
Anyone who is not a fool can tell from his words that he wants to do more than just form an army.
The Oro region covers all the towns and resources in the previous Tacoma region. It is a very large place. The population here is at least 500,000 or 600,000. With so many people, it is impossible to have all the troops under the command of one general.
Be a little separate
This is also a way of control and management.
Sean didn't expect that he would have to start considering how to balance his subordinates just after taking office.
A lonely man
The lives of those in power always seem to be full of calculations. At this moment, Sean feels as if he can understand why the previous Earl of Hamilton had so many expressions and emotions when they met during his lifetime, and why he had to rely on and be wary of all the nobles.
"Then sir, I will take people over now to put the things in place first."
Because of the arrival of the new lord today, many merchants and passers-by gave him a lot of things, such as eggs for daily consumption, bouquets of flowers for decoration, and some practical or decorative furniture. If it weren't for the guards of more than 200 people, they might not be able to take all of these things.
"Okay, just put the things in a simple way first, and I'll deal with it later."
"Understood, sir."
Watching Ascalante take some people and walk ahead, only Ross and a few others followed Sean.
"The Earl is a man who knows how to employ people," Ross said suddenly.
"Oh, why do you say that?"
"I can see that the Earl is a smart man."
“If I were a smart person, so many people wouldn’t be suffering,” Sean said with a smile.
"And very modest. At least, at your age, I have only seen His Majesty have this kind of wisdom."
The other party's evaluation of himself is quite high, but Sean will not accept such words. The person he is comparing with is the king, so of course he cannot accept it.
"How can I compare with His Majesty the King? I am just a clever guy at best."
Talking
Just in front of me, I saw three people waiting at the door of a house with a nice view.
