Cons was about to agree, but suddenly he thought that according to what they said, the imperial civil unrest was coming, and not to mention other places, the Shanyue Kingdom alone had already invaded a large-scale invasion. The empire can be said to be in a storm. As the brigade commander said, fists are king in troubled times, and he should also consider his own interests.

"Well, please rest assured, the superior will not disappoint the superior." Seeing the two eyes staring at their superiors, Cons had to say this.

Without getting an answer on the spot, the brigade commander and the division commander both showed disappointed expressions on their faces, but when they thought of such a thing, Cons had to go back and discuss it, so he let it go for the time being.

The division commander coughed dryly and said to everyone: "This time, in addition to reporting the news of the invasion of the Shanyue Kingdom, there are also issues that determine your resident."

The school officials who were still clamoring were immediately silent, and they all looked at the map of the seaside province hanging on the walls of the division commander.

The division commander gestured on the map.

"I think it's up to you to take charge of your existing garrisons. At the same time, due to the massive invasion of the Shanyue Kingdom, we need a large number of troops to drive away the Shanyue Kingdom, so the division headquarters allows you to recruit soldiers at the garrison. Of course, due to the lack of materials and money in the division headquarters, you are allowed to collect taxes on your own in the garrisons in order to solve the military expenditure problem."

The school officials present nodded with satisfaction, only a few brigade commanders looked ugly.

Cons was shocked. The recruitment of soldiers was the Imperial Army, and the local tax collection was even more responsible for the local provincial government. These two huge powers were delegated by the division commander? Didn’t the division commander know that he did not have these two powers at all? Not to mention delegating power!

The brigade commander who pulled Cons down looked at Cons's shocked look and whispered: "Nothing fuss, this matter will be discussed a few days ago."

"Have you discussed it?" Cons couldn't believe that they dared to discuss such a thing as a genocide.

"What's the big deal? We brigade commanders have no direct troops except the guards of the brigade division. Although the brigade commanders have real power, they have no status and dare not commit directly. Since both sides have taken into account, they might as well just pass the brigade like a noble, and then they will see their own magical powers." The brigade commander smiled.

"Uh, all the corps commanders are here now, wouldn't they be detained..." Cons said this and suddenly shut up, because if he did this, the division commander would only benefit, and the brigade commander and others would definitely be thrown aside by the division commander.

The brigade commander glanced at the division commander on the stage and sneered, "Do you think the division commander doesn't want it? Unfortunately, none of the corps commanders are fools. They all brought the troops and detained them? Humph, the provincial capital immediately turned into ruins.

"Maybe we generals and the corps captains will be murdered by the ambitious school officials who are led by the troops below."

Then Cons understood why all the corps gathered in the provincial capital, and no one was a fool. However, Cons immediately asked strangely: "Does the registered household registration information of the soldiers in the imperial capital have been destroyed, and the soldiers are unscrupulous? In theory, how can such important information be prepared for points, right?"

"Hehe, when the news of the destruction of the Tibetan Military Pavilion came out, everyone dared not move, because everyone knew that the empire must have prepared information. However, the latest news spread throughout the empire is that the emperor's bedroom was burned to ashes. If the emperor had not recuperated in other places, he would have been burned to death." The brigade commander smiled.

The emperor's bedroom was burned to ashes?

Cons was stunned. The safest place in the empire was the imperial capital, the safest place in the imperial capital was the imperial palace, and the safest place in the imperial palace was the bedroom. Even the bedroom could be burned? The imperial guards grew up eating shit?

"Haha, I was as shocked as you when I heard this news, but thinking about so many enemies lurking in various departments of the empire, it is not impossible to create such a big incident as long as you find an opportunity."

The brigade commander smiled helplessly and continued, "You also know that the emperor's bedroom contains the most confidential things in the empire. Now that the bedroom is burned, it means that these most confidential things have disappeared. I believe that the military military household registration is also included."

"Well, don't the provincial governments in various places have archives of military household registration information in their provinces? Just hand over these information."

Cons still couldn't believe that the entire Imperial Army would rebel with the officers because of household registration.

"Hehe, those information stored by the provincial government? Think about whether the local garrison officers who are already eager to become warlords will let this information exist?" the brigade commander sneered.

Cons was speechless. The officers were determined to become warlords, and of course they would not allow these information to exist. It seemed that the unrestrained Imperial army would soon be transformed into the chief's private force.

Seeing Cons' expression, the brigade commander sighed and said, "Don't blame us for dividing the Seaside Province. First, we bosses who do not have direct control cannot restrict and control them, and secondly, we are also able to resist the invasion of the enemy more effectively."

Cons blinked, not understanding how to resist the enemy's invasion after dividing the coastal province.

The brigade commander smiled and said, "Give them their garrison to them and become their territory for whatever they want. They will definitely fight to the death against the enemy. You must know that the dogs who protect their families are the most fierce. Otherwise, the enemy may either escape or surrender before they arrive. This can be regarded as serving the empire."

Cons widened his eyes. This was simply warlord separatist. The brigade commander obviously knew what Cons wanted to say, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, this behavior has been warlord separatist. If it were the past, the military police would have arrested us long ago, but now no one cares about it.

"I'm sure that the thirty-two provinces of the entire empire, except for the central province where the imperial capital is located, the other provinces are in a state of warlord separatism. Fortunately, our provinces do not have regular legions, otherwise it would not be our turn to divide them."

Cons was speechless, and the national army that had lost its constraints naturally became the chief's private army. In this reality, no one could change it.

War in the empire is approaching, and I don’t know where my enemy who pretends to be a double-sword mantis is. So is it necessary for him to stay in this war-torn empire? Maybe it would be better if he brought his confidants back to the Feidu Peninsula?

Seeing Cons pondering, the brigade commander pondered for a moment and whispered: "Five thousand sets of standard Imperial Army equipment, give me three thousand soldiers baptized by combat."

When Cons heard this, he was stunned. Seeing Cons' expression, the brigade commander smiled and said, "I think it's too little? I have to discuss it. But you must have three thousand veterans who have fought. I know that your city guards are all veterans who have experienced a bloody battle. Give me three thousand, no, two thousand is OK, even one thousand is OK.

"With these veterans, I can rely on them to defend their territory and bring out a group of new recruits. The price is definitely not a problem, let you speak."

Cons was very stupid. He heard the tone of the brigade commander. His city guard was like goods. He could sell whatever he wanted.

Unable to answer immediately, Cons had to say, "Please let the official go back and discuss with his subordinates."

The brigade commander nodded, and then said inadvertently: "You should change now, don't care about colleagues like the Chief of Staff, Gendarmerie, and the Chief of Staff. In this chaotic era, as long as you can hold the soldiers in your hands, they are just your subordinates. Look at which army chief officer and deputy appeared at this meeting?"

Speaking of this, the brigade commander looked arrogant. Although he used to win over his colleagues such as the Chief of Staff into brothers, and he was also loyal to him, and he would discuss with them when he had any problems, but now it is the beginning of a chaotic era. As long as he firmly controls the army, he will be the only one. Those guys can only follow his subordinates who follow his orders.

In this way, my weight in the master's heart will become heavier, right?

The meeting ended soon, and the division commander divided the seaside province into thirty-one pieces, and each brigade leader, including the division commander, had one piece. The brigade leader obtained the entire county government where the resident was located, the division commander obtained the entire provincial capital, and the brigade leader obtained several county governments near the provincial capital.

This time, the division can be said that the territory of the five brigade commanders is the smallest among so many people, but because they are close to the provincial capital and the economy is very developed, the brigade commanders have no objection.

The corps leader had no objection. The county governments that were unable to take action before fell into their hands. Moreover, they had the right to collect troops and taxes. On their territory, they were completely a local emperor who did whatever they wanted, and they absolutely had no objection to this treatment.

And when I think about recruiting troops freely, the jealousy that I have developed towards Cons's city guard with tens of thousands of people has completely disappeared. Ten thousand people are amazing? I can recruit a division at any time!

This time, the division commander was the most abundant in the division. The entire provincial capital fell into the hands of the division commander. There were too many people and taxes. Moreover, the division commander was not optimistic about the empire and believed that the empire would no longer be responsible for the supplies of the troops below in the future, so he easily obtained the ownership of the allocated materials. Seeing his smirk, I am afraid he had any way to get the supplies.

Among the thirty-one warlords, the new colonel was Cons, but no one was jealous of him, because Cons' territory was Wenjin County, and it only existed on the map, and it had actually become the three counties of the Shanyue territory.

Cons, who was in the hands of four counties, received warm congratulations from everyone, but looking at their snickers, they knew that they were gloating because Wenjin County was occupied by Shanyue, which means that Cons had no territory at all and was a rootless person. Everyone began to think about how to annex Cons' tens of thousands of city defense teams.

Seeing that the brigade commander who was originally willing to use 5,000 sets of weapons to exchange for 1,000 people suddenly changed his words and directly asked Cons to allocate 5,000 people to the brigade headquarters to listen to it. The other brigade commanders also came forward to say that since Cons could not support so many subordinates, they were willing to do it for them. Without waiting for Cons to make a statement, they had already verbally divided up Cons' 11,000 people.

Seeing this, Cons couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. These people are a bit too realistic, right?

The division commander next to him laughed in his heart: "You guys are too idiotic, aren't you?

I have a good relationship with Cons, is it really because of his status as an imperial capital?

"I don't know that Cons's background is still whining here. I can't support soldiers? Joke, I can rely on profits to support tens of thousands of people by doing business with him alone. He is rich and powerful and still has to care about these things? I just assigned the four counties to him because I knew he didn't care."

At the end of the meeting, everyone gathered people to return to the garrison to show off their power. Seeing Cons coming out and having been waiting for Xiangwen for a long time, Okol immediately looked at Cons' rank. When he saw the rank of colonel, he showed different meanings but the same smile.

When they returned to the temporary station, everyone immediately gathered around to congratulate. After a lot of fun, Xiang Wen asked anxiously: "Sir, what rewards have you received besides the rank of colonel and the head of the Fifth Regiment?" Okor and others also looked at Cons with a longing look on their faces.

Cons said with a wry smile: "Mengjin County and the three counties that have been annexed by the Shanyue people for many years have become my residence."

Before others could react when they heard this, Okol had already sensitively realized that Cons was not talking about the Fifth United's base, but my base, and his eyes flashed. Of course, all this fell into the eyes of Weijie, who was secretly paying attention to the expressions of everyone.

"What?! Is the division and regiment headquarters wanting to let the lord recover these county governments? We are so few people!" Xiang Wen shouted with anger.

"No, alas, the division commander just now divided the seaside province, and all the corps commanders, brigade commanders, and division commanders each occupy a piece of land." Cons told the situation of the meeting.

"What? The right to collect troops and taxes! Isn't this warlord separatism?"

Okol jumped up in surprise immediately. He was so happy. He was waiting day and night to finally wait for the opportunity for the civil turmoil in the empire! The world will not disappoint our clan! But he soon found that everyone looked at him with a puzzled look. Okol hurriedly explained: "I am so happy that my elder brother can show his mighty career!"

Hearing this, Cons's confidants also became happy. To be honest, they were not loyal to the empire at all. Seeing that the troubled times appeared, their own adults could take advantage of the situation, which was a joyful thing. As for Okol's confidants, of course, they were just as happy as Okol.

Of course, everyone was never happy to have the base of the four counties. Idiots also knew that just by themselves, they were no match for the endless Shanyue soldiers. The territory of the four counties was simply castles in the air, which sounded nice.

When Cons saw his subordinates' appearance, he sighed in his heart, "I'm not interested."

Thinking of this, Cons was stunned because he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be interested in anything. Forging the chain body was just a habit of pursuing the bones of his survival period, and training soldiers was also a habit after becoming a commander. These were the habits that were like eating and opening their mouths, not interest.

In the past, I worked hard for survival. Now I have a smuggling route and I have hundreds of thousands of lives and deaths. I have no survival crisis at all. So what are I interested in?

Cons quickly threw this confused thinking aside and began to signal Weijie to report the collected information. Weijie's intelligence was not detailed, and it was similar to what Cons heard from the brigade commander. Cons understood that there was nothing he could do about this, because most of the secret guards were placed on the Shanyue tribe, and instead ignored the information of the empire itself.

However, Okol and the others listened to Xiangwen with relish, and Okol even thought desperately in his mind about how he would make a profit when this troubled time first appeared.

When everyone heard that the emperor's bedroom was burned, everyone curled their lips, and even Anda said disdainfully: "This is still something that needs to be investigated? And there is no result at all? It must be that the emperor's personal palace maid and eunuch were bribed and did a good thing. I really think someone could lurk in the bedroom? If this is the case, I don't know how many emperors of the imperial world have died long ago!"

However, Xiang Wen was eagerly kicked by this as soon as he said this.

Okor, who was sweating all over his back, was about to say something to change the topic, but immediately found that everyone didn't care at all. Instead, he changed his subject and said such rebellious words as Yeye Groom, who was so sick that he still didn't know how to live or die.

After a moment of froze, Okol couldn't help but laugh at himself. Are he too careful? No one here takes offense to the emperor seriously.

The information was reported soon, and Weijie concluded: "Sir, from this, we can see that the conspirators have made a long preparation, and it can be concluded that the participation of the high-ranking and powerful people of the empire finally triggered the burning of military household registration information. It seems that the empire is about to be divided, and I hope that the adults will make a decision soon."

Cons nodded: "Well, put most of the power collected by intelligence first around us, and then spread across the country, and finally..."
Chapter completed!
