As early as ten years ago, in order to expand his influence and allow himself to take root in the Northland, Chen Heng adopted a policy of proactively outwards and striving to make friends with the Northland nobles.

The nobles are multiplying. Basically, in every family, except for the eldest son who has inheritance rights, there are a large number of clansman who cannot be arranged.

Where these people go is undoubtedly a headache.

As second sons or even partial expenditures, these people have no inheritance rights, only a small amount of property, and even other help.

Under the rules of this era, it is difficult for them to have a decent life like their parents did.

But Chen Heng solved a problem for them to a certain extent.

Different from other lords of this era, Chen Heng’s territory has a complete bureaucratic system that involves all aspects and is very complete.

A perfect governance system naturally requires a large number of administrative officials for execution.

The second sons of the nobles who could not get a placement from others were targeted by Chen Heng.

In this era when civilians are generally unable to read, these noble second sons were born among the nobles, and they can basically read and write. Some of them may also master other skills. They are the best officials of this era. , Is also the only source.

Therefore, with the development of Chen Heng in the past ten years, a large number of clansman from other nobles have gathered in his domain.

At this level, naturally many people are loyal to it.

But among these, lords like Kuludo are few.

Of those loyalists, more are landless nobles who have no territory and desire to obtain territory through Chen Heng.

“Oli Your Majesty ordered me to gather the army and go to fight the rebels.”

Sitting in the hall, Chen Heng looked calm, looking at Kuludo and said.

“Fighting with the rebels?”

The voice fell, and everyone present complexion changed.

Leaving from one’s own territory to fight against the rebels in a strange place is not a matter of lip service. There are many things involved.

How to arrange food and how to guarantee logistics? Where will the army be deployed? Will it cause the emptiness of the territory and cause accidents?

There are many literal questions.

There are more problems outside the battlefield.

Especially in the current situation, do they still support Oli to fight the rebels?

these all are questions.

Thinking of this, the expressions of all the people present couldn’t help changing, and then they looked forward and looked at Chen Heng.

At present, in the entire Soda, the only person who can make a decision is Chen Heng.

His idea is the key factor that determines whether to play.

Feeling the gaze of the people around, Chen Heng’s face was calm, but he raised his head silently, opened the mouth and said: “If we really fight, how many troops can we take out?”

“Probably five thousand people can be taken out without affecting the defense.”

Someone thought for a moment, and finally said so.

“Five thousand people.”

Chen Heng nodded.

These five thousand people are the family property he has accumulated over the past ten years.

Although it looks good, it is completely comparable to the number of troops in the history of hundreds of thousands of millions, but it is the result of Chen Heng’s best efforts.

Soda’s foundation is too bad after all, it was just a piece of white ground.

In the past ten years, Chen Heng has tried his best to develop, attract population, attract tribes, and buy slaves to fill it, but Soda’s population is only a few hundred thousand that’s all.

On this population, it is the limit to be able to support 10,000 troops.

And among these ten thousand people, only these five thousand people can be extracted.

Of course, although this number is not a big number in Chen Heng’s eyes, it is already a huge number in the eyes of the other lords of the Kutu Kingdom.

The lords of this era are generally poor. Except for a few big nobles, the number of soldiers in the hands of the other small lords is actually not many.

Just like Chen Heng’s father Baron Kayson, the number of guards in the entire territory was only three-four hundred.

At this moment, the prestige of the rebels in the south is so huge, but the core battle strength is probably less than 10,000 people, and they belong to different lords. They are the same as Chen Heng. The army is incomparable.

In the eyes of Kuludo and the others, Chen Heng’s strength is already very strong, and he ranks first in the North.

However, in Chen Heng’s view, the number of troops at this point is still somewhat insufficient.

It’s not that the combat power is not enough.

In fact, Chen Heng has done a lot to ensure the combat effectiveness of his army.

The army in his hand is an army that fights with foreign races day by day. Not only does he often face battles, but the daily food training is not bad at all.

As far as their training level is concerned, if they are placed in the army of other lords, they may immediately cause mutiny.

There is no shortage of training, logistics, equipment, and actual combat.

The combat effectiveness of such an army is certainly not bad.

And in fact it is true.

In these years, Chen Heng has not been without fighting with the army of the northern lords besides fighting with foreign races.

For the southern lords, the army of the northern territory is considered to be elite. Facing Chen Heng’s army, it is impossible to match and the others and will be easily defeated.

Lords of the North have been fighting all year round, and the combat effectiveness of the army is stronger than that of the South.

Even they are like this, not to mention the southern army.

It’s just that although the combat power is sufficient, it may not be enough to achieve greater goals.

If you want to defeat the army in the south, Chen Heng’s 5,000 men is enough.

But if you want to control the vast territory and achieve the effect Chen Heng wants, it may not be enough.

the thoughts got to this point, Chen Heng turned around and looked at Kuludo: “If I ask the Lord of the North to send an army to go with me, how many people can be recruited?”

Chen Heng said lightly.

Looking at Chen Heng, Kuludo was taken aback.

But soon, he reacted, his expression straightened: “The Aura family is willing to come up with 500 people to follow.”

“The Kelso family is willing to come up with 300 people. “

“The Lin Family family is willing to spend four hundred…”

“The Widow family can spend three hundred…”

Sounds fell on the spot.

In addition to Kuludo, there were several small lords who also secretly pledged allegiance to Chen Heng.

The number of troops brought out by these people was increased, and within a short period of time, they gathered another 1,500.

“Send a message to several other families for me, saying that I want to entertain them at Soda.”

Listening to the words of Kuludo, Chen Heng smiled. At this time, I could not help laughing: “By the way, ask them to send an army to help me.”
