Ronan's operation was relatively successful, at least it frightened most people. After all, no one in this era has ever seen what a miracle looks like.
Next, you only need to continue to use actions to dispel the doubts of those who are still a little skeptical, or even let them have "accidents" directly.
"You all go back to your respective posts. I will stay here to continue to receive God's instructions. This world has not bathed in God's grace for too long. After a while, I will organize you to promote God's majesty and get ready.
I can’t leave here yet, Marcel, you write a letter to each of the other bishops to tell them of my arrival!”
"But my lord, why doesn't God directly send an oracle to inform his devout believers?"
"Your inspiration is too low. With the current state of the world, you cannot receive the voice of God. I died once, so I am even more sensitive." Ronan continued to lie.
Marcel nodded, indicating that he understood, and the other believers and guards dispersed after Ronan waved his hand and returned to their posts.
For Marcel and Eric, Ronan planned to observe them for a few more days and send two evil spirits to keep an eye on them. If they still refused to obey and made any changes, Ronan would arrange an "accident" for them.
, as for their current cronies, if they are aware of current affairs, they will stay, and if they are not, they will be dealt with together.
Ronan didn't wait for the others to finish walking, then took out a mat from his backpack, placed it on the ground and sat cross-legged in front of the statue. A few of them noticed Ronan taking out the mat out of thin air, and became even more convinced in their hearts.
On the surface, Ronan seems to be receiving instructions from God, but in fact, Ronan is using the system to discuss the next action plan with the heroes. If Ronan wants to seize power as quickly as possible, then the most direct method must be direct force.
Seize power, and those who disobey will be killed.
However, although this method can quickly seize power, the hidden danger is too great, and a rebellion may break out at any time. Therefore, after final discussion, Ronan decided to seize power steadily, first collecting information on the heads of various departments, and then looking for ways to recruit them into his lineup.
, if that doesn't work, just kill them and then support those who are willing to support Ronan to come to power, and slowly take the entire city into your hands.
In the end, he used the royal status of the sixth prince to force Raven to abdicate. It was an extraordinary method in extraordinary times. After all, Ronan's time was limited and he could not adopt a gentle policy and take his time. He could only choose a rougher and more direct method, that is, all the opponents died "accidentally"
!
So, the most important thing now is to have the army in hand. The Earl of Fernando is located in the center of the kingdom and there is no danger caused by bordering with other places. Therefore, the only thing that can be called a regular army is the small city guard.
Secondly, there are some citizens who have been recruited to participate in the war, and there are also militia teams established by each village and town. The instructors are some veterans, and they are also trained, but they can only deal with some bandits at most, and the equipment is very poor.
.
Gaoling's army planning is very simple. The equipment of the permanent professional soldiers who receive training every day are provided by the kingdom, and they are accurately divided into light cavalry, heavy cavalry, scouts, conflict soldiers, archers, etc. However, these armies are generally stationed in
On the border, the expenses incurred by these professional soldiers are not a small sum.
Therefore, these soldiers in some remote places where supply transportation is difficult have to help local lords farm in exchange for more supplies.
However, these troops are relatively small in number and are the backbone of the war, and the death rate is not particularly high. The soldiers who are actually responsible for frontal battlefield battles and have the highest casualty rate are those subjects who are temporarily recruited as soldiers by the kingdom lords.
, according to the laws of the kingdom, the subjects under the age of forty who are unable to pay the per capita exemption fee during the war must respond to the call to join the army, otherwise they will be deprived of all their property and reduced to slaves.
However, the kingdom will only provide these people with military rations and a small amount of compensation for the delay in farming. Rich people will pay a large amount of exemption fees to protect their children from the disaster of the sword. Those who cannot afford the exemption fees will still live a prosperous life.
People will prepare some decent armor and weapons to increase their survival rate.
Those at the bottom who have no money can only go to the battlefield wearing common clothes. When the kingdom's inventory is relatively rich, they will be provided with some weapons, but more often they can only carry the ax or dung they use for their work.
Take to the battlefield.
The casualty rate of these conscripts is also the highest. After all, they have not received professional training. Even if they are only responsible for helping carry supplies when defending the city, they will die a lot because they do not know how to avoid stray arrows.
This is also one of the factors why the common people in the kingdom have a large number of children, while the wealthier families only have one or two children, because the kingdom has regulations that unless it is a life-and-death moment, only four people per family will be recruited.
As the sky gradually darkened, Ronan opened his eyes. He already had a preliminary plan in his mind. All he needed to do next was to arrange the manpower to execute it.
"Alas, there are still too few usable people!" Ronan already has a lot of elite soldiers, but he still lacks good generals. However, the day after tomorrow is when the hero recruitment system will be cooled down. After that, there will be one more capable person.
People who share some of the burden for him, but for now, there are still many things that Ronan needs to do personally.
"Let's go, Meluses." Ronan stood up and said to Meluses, who had been sitting on the bench where believers usually pray, waiting for him.
"I'm going to hold a meeting here at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon and tell Marcel to ask him to organize people to wait for me!" When walking out of the temple gate, Ronan said to the guard on duty next to him.
"Yes! Lord God Envoy!" The temple guard bowed slightly and saluted Ronan, and then responded.
Dinner hasn't been eaten yet, so Ronan plans to go to the blacksmith shop first, and then go to have something to eat. Ronan has asked Ben before that the largest blacksmith shop in Fengming City is affiliated to the Candlelight Merchant Guild, the Candlelight Merchant Guild.
It is a relatively powerful chamber of commerce in Fengming. Its main business is iron products. The president of the Candlelight Chamber of Commerce is not a noble, but he is involved with many nobles. Most of Fengming's weapons and agricultural tools are made by them.
.
"Is the boss here?" The front of this blacksmith shop looks pretty good. In front of it is a large hall with some exhibits placed around it. There are also some service staff introducing guests to the shop. Their attitudes are very enthusiastic, whether they are farmers or not.
Even the rich did not neglect it.
"Master Roderite! You are really back!" Suddenly, a slightly surprised tone sounded when Ronan looked at the waiters around him.
