555 Formation! Gou Dian Personal Guard Regiment - Part 1
Quietly putting away the imperial edict that Ying Tianbian had given to Gou Dian, Gou Dian came close to Ying Tianbian and lowered his voice and asked: "Master Ying, hehe, I am a new nobleman, and I am not sure about the matter of the Guards.
Understood. I wonder if Mr. Ying can explain something to me?"
Ying Tianbian, the adjutant of the Ministry of Military Affairs, nodded and said: "Viscount Goudian, please tell me. As long as Ying knows anything, Ying will answer truthfully."
"That's very good." Gou Dian chuckled and lowered his voice and asked directly, "Sir Ying, I wonder who will pay for the expenses of the personal guard regiment?"
"Expenses?" Ying Tianbian was stunned, and replied with a dumb smile, "Viscount Zou Dian, are you kidding Ying? Of course, the expenses of the personal guard regiment were paid by the noble himself. The empire only gave him
Every noble has the right to form a bodyguard. Of course, the nobles can receive part of their salary from the empire, but those salaries are not enough for the nobles to form a complete bodyguard. Therefore, if Viscount Gou Dian wants to truly form a bodyguard,
With a bodyguard regiment of 300 people, the expenses for two hundred of the bodyguard members will have to be paid for by Viscount Goudian yourself."
Gou Dian nodded and said: "I see. Sir Ying, are you saying that the salary I receive from the empire is only enough to support a hundred personal guards?"
"Theoretically, that's the case." Ying Tianbian nodded and said, "It's just that in the case of Viscount Gou Dian, you spent all your salary on the bodyguards. If you include all the various things in the mansion,
In terms of expenses, the average Viscount can have fifty personal guards, which is considered good."
"That's it." Gou Dian narrowed his eyes, and only then did he sigh that there really is no free lunch in this world.
Ying Tianbian, the adjutant of the Ministry of Military Affairs, smiled slightly and said: "However, if you, Viscount Goudian, are willing to use your own money to form a complete bodyguard regiment of 300 people, wouldn't this be a very good temptation? It's different from ordinary people.
Families are different. They don't need to pay taxes to the empire to form their own power. This is the temptation of the Guards. If it is an ordinary family, when the number of their family reaches 300, the increase tax they have to pay is quite considerable.
Yes, but you, Viscount Gou Dian, do not have this burden. Of course, if you want to form a larger bodyguard regiment, you will also have to pay an increase tax to the empire. This is the only thing I hope Gou Ding Viscount must remember. Nonetheless,
With a bodyguard group of 300 people, I'm afraid that just because of this alone, most families won't dare to provoke you."
"So, what about the twelve ancient beast soul families?" Gou Dian narrowed his eyes and asked again.
Ying Tianbian smiled faintly and said: "The ancient beast soul family has a very deep connection with the royal family of the Great Britain Empire, so the ancient beast soul family is equivalent to a nobleman who is allowed by the empire to have a bodyguard group of one thousand people. Within one thousand people
, there is no need to pay the capacity increase tax; beyond that part, the capacity increase tax that needs to be paid is actually not high, so except for some declining ancient beast soul families, the general number of ancient beast soul families (including side branches) exceeds one
Thousands of people, and the actual number of people is probably only known to those within the Ancient Beast Soul Family."
"That's it. Thank you Master Ying for clarifying Gou's doubts." Gou Dian cupped his hands towards Ying Tianbian and said. Gou Dian had heard before that the patriarch of the ancient beast soul family could inherit the noble title of a viscount from generation to generation (such as
Those who have declined may only inherit the title of baron). When he became a viscount, he was still a little disdainful of it, but now he hears it and realizes that there is something fishy about it. A family with a thousand people, such an ancient
It’s not that the Beast Soul Family can’t rise to higher noble titles, it’s that they simply don’t bother to do so, because in reality, the patriarch of the ancient Beast Soul Family was originally equivalent to a Marquis! Duke within the Great Britain Empire.
Marquis, earl, viscount, baron, there is still a gap of two levels between marquis and viscount. At this time, Lu Dian once again realized the gap between himself and the ancient beast soul family! Thinking about this, Lu Dian suddenly realized that he had been in the past.
What a stupid thing for him to challenge the Tu family of Erjia Principality as a mere viscount! Fortunately, Tu Yingjun and others helped at that time, otherwise the current Goudian would have ceased to exist in this world.
After Ying Tianbian finished speaking, Yang Jiaoheng, the leader of the Shenlong Sect, coughed slightly to signal everyone to focus on him, and then continued: "Dear students of the Shenlong Sect with noble titles, I know that for the sake of the empire, you must
Do your part, so I give each of you a letter here, with which you can freely ride the flying monsters in the Shenlong Gate to enter and exit the Shenlong Gate."
"Thank you so much, Master Yang!" Gou Dian and others said, bowing their hands to Yang Jiaoheng.
Yang Jiaoheng nodded and took out thirty-three letters from the space ring. Then he handed the letters into the hands of an elder from the Shenlong Sect next to him and motioned to the elder to hand all the letters into the hands of Gou Dian and others.
.The elder of the Shenlong Sect was quite smart. He walked quickly between each of the nobles and handed the letters into each of their hands. After that, he quietly walked back behind Yang Jiaoheng. The speed of his movements was truly breathtaking.
.
Yang Jiaoheng nodded to the elder to thank him, and then asked Ying Tianbian, the adjutant of the Military Affairs Department: "Sir Ying, I don't know when the thirty-three disciples of Shenlongmen will arrive at Tianling City at the latest.
?”
Ying Tianbian nodded towards Yang Jiaoheng and said: "Back to Master Yang, in ten days at the latest, each noble member must lead his own bodyguard regiment to Tianling City to assist the Tianling Town border defense.
It is two days' journey from Emperor City to Tianling City, so all the nobles will have to start from here in one week at the latest."
Yang Jiaoheng nodded and said: "By the way. Is there only seven days enough to form a bodyguard regiment of 300 people?" Obviously, Yang Jiaoheng was asking Ying Tianbian for Goudian.
Gou Dian couldn't help but pricked up his ears when he heard it. At this time, Ying Tianbian smiled lightly and said: "One week, although it is a bit rushed, it is probably enough."
Yang Jiaoheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "But there isn't enough training time, right?"
"Master Yang has a unique insight!" Ying Tianbian gave a thumbs up and nodded, "Indeed, only one week is not enough to conduct disciplinary training for the members of the Guards. Just recruiting and selecting members is already enough.
Quite reluctantly. But with Xiao Chengfeng and other experienced guards commanding them, I guess those guards will do something to the newly recruited members of the bodyguards during the two days on the road, right?"
"Haha, then I'll wait and see." Yang Jiaoheng smiled elegantly and stopped talking. However, Chu Dian always felt that Yang Jiaoheng looked at him meaningfully the moment he finished speaking. As for whether this is actually the case?
I can't quite find the top either.
Ying Tianbian cupped his hands towards Yang Jiaoheng, turned to Goudian and said: "Viscount Goudian, you must go to the palace to discuss relevant matters with the eldest prince, right? He also needs to go to the palace to discuss matters with the eldest prince.
His Majesty the Great Emperor has returned to the throne. In that case, why don't Viscount Goudian go with Ying?"
"In this case, there is Lord Lao Ying." Gou Dian chuckled, and bowed his hands to Yang Jiaoheng to say goodbye, and then he and Ying Tianbian walked towards the Shenlong Gate Hall first. Gou Dian had time left.
There really weren't many, so Gou Dian really had to race against time. The other members of the nobility couldn't help but whisper when they saw this, but Gou Dian no longer had time to listen to those guys' irresponsible remarks.
Walking through the jungle from the Shenlongmen Hall to the Shenlongmen Flying World of Warcraft Plaza, after Gou Dian presented the autographed letter written by Yang Jiaoheng, Gou Dian, Ying Tianbian and two or three followers took a ride on the Shenlongmen Flying World of Warcraft Plaza.
The flying monster flew directly to Tianhuang City. The distance from Shenlongmen to Tianhuang City was not far, so Goudian and Ying Tianbian soon fell to the ground with the landing of the flying monster. The landing point of the flying monster was at Tianhuang
It is very convenient to enter the Imperial City Palace from here, and both Goudian and Ying Tianbian are familiar with the guards at the entrance of the palace, so the two of them followed the guards directly into the palace, but they were looking for different people.
Yes (Ying Tianbian wants to meet with Emperor Dabulie to return to power, while Goudian wants to discuss the formation of a bodyguard regiment with the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng).
After entering the palace, it didn't take long for Goudian to find Gongsun Cheng. Gongsun Cheng seemed to have heard about Goudian's plan to form a bodyguard regiment from Emperor Great Britain, and summoned Xiao Chengfeng without saying a word.
Several guards began to discuss matters related to the formation of a bodyguard group. Xiao Chengfeng still obeyed orders as always, like a rag doll who only knows how to obey orders. However, Goudian noticed that Xiao Chengfeng also had more emotions than when they first met.
Some small changes, although those changes are not obvious.
From the size of the bodyguard regiment to its components to what kind of talents they hoped to get, Wang Zicheng and others discussed it with Xiao Chengfeng and several other guards who actually participated in the recruitment and selection of the bodyguard regiment. Only then did Goudian know what had happened.
Forming a Guards Regiment is not something that can be easily accomplished as long as you have money. To form a somewhat decent Guards Regiment, the things involved are really all-encompassing, and the formation of a Guards Regiment is not bad at all.
It is necessary to eliminate those stubborn elements from among the recruited members. These cannot be explained clearly in a few words. It does not mean that strong people can stay. Only those who obey discipline and have a strong heart are more suitable to become the Guards.
This made Gou Dian sigh. Fortunately, he did not need to be a member of the Guards, otherwise guys like him would be the first to be eliminated, Gou Dian thought.
