King

Chapter 32 The Company System and the Honest Soldier Hudson

If looks could kill, Hudson would have torn the old man in front of him into pieces. During the day, my uncle and nephew were here, but he was sold so quickly.

"Whoever proposes the plan is responsible for its execution. If it succeeds, everyone gets the credit; if it fails, the responsibility lies solely with the proposer."

Such a simple law of the workplace, but he didn't expect that he would still be tricked after traveling through time. Hudson felt like crying without tears.

Conscience of heaven and earth, he is already very careful, isn't it just to make a small fortune, why would he do something so big?

It was him who came up with the bullshit plan. He obviously only hinted at it and never mentioned the word "robbery" at all.

During the specific planning process, Hudson followed the principle of "talking too much will lead to failure" and only echoed from the beginning to the end.

I wanted to be a quiet melon-eater, but I didn’t expect that in the end, I would end up eating melons on my own head. As soon as Mechel's immortal suggestion was made, everyone responded.

The beautiful words made Hudson feel ashamed. As a new knight, he actually surpassed the rising star and was directly upgraded to "highly respected".

For such a shameless operation, Hudson could only express it in capital letters - "Follow".

Wearing his hat high, no matter how humble Hudson was, he could not stop the hard push from a group of nobles.

It really made Hudson realize what it is: "The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them."

The root cause of everything is that the previous performance was too excellent. Even though Hudson tried hard to hide his clumsiness, he still stood out against the backdrop of his pig teammates.

"Pretending to be a tiger to scare pigs" was so successful that everyone mistakenly thought that "Hudson ordered troops, the more the better."

Otherwise, no one would dare to entrust this "important task" to him. After all, if there is a problem with food and grass, everyone will suffer the consequences together.

Even if Hudson was willing to take the blame, his small body couldn't afford it. Even if he borrows his head, it would be unlucky for the Chelsea Knights. Who makes him the leader of the legion?

With everyone talking about it, Hudson could only passively take over the important task. I originally wanted to recruit a few unlucky guys to accompany me, but finally gave up.

If the main force of the rebels were to rob food, the entire fifth army would be in trouble. Leaving a few unlucky knights behind would not help, so we simply stopped drawing hatred.

After taking over the command of all the serf soldiers, Hudson was also under great pressure.

Fortunately, the continent of Aslant has a strict hierarchy, and the nobles have already taken care of the thorns, and no one jumped out to cause trouble.

After a bunch of centurions were democratically elected through a voluntary election model, Hudson appointed the cronies he had trained as centurions, barely establishing a chain of command.

Looking at the earthworm-like team below, Hudson took a deep breath and reminded himself secretly: These are not his own soldiers, so there is no need to be so demanding.

"From now on, the entire army must act in a unified manner. Even eating, sleeping, and defecating must all act collectively within the prescribed time.

The eyes were brightened, and everyone monitored each other. If someone violates the rules and no one reports it, they get caught again.

If one person violates the rules, the entire team will starve; if one team violates the rules, the entire camp will starve.

When you are under my command, you must abide by my rules. Don't take it seriously. Anyone who violates military orders will be hanged.

It doesn't matter if you can't be caught. Anyway, there are family members who can take the blame. If you don’t want to implicate your wife, children, and children, then be honest.

Everyone followed the team closely, and if they disappeared without seeing their bodies, they would be considered deserters by default. The whole family, old and young, went to the village entrance to hang themselves..."

Hudson scolded in plain language. It can be summed up in three words - continuous sitting system.

Originally, he wanted to say that one person violated military orders and the whole team was killed, but he just remembered that this was a ragtag group, and he was afraid that no one would be left in the end, so Hudson could only change it to "starving".

For the lower-class serfs, starvation was also a severe punishment. Before joining the army, I probably didn’t have enough to eat throughout the year.

Only now that Count Pierce is in charge of the food can they eat with open stomachs. After finally having a few full meals, naturally no one wants to continue to starve.

Frankly speaking, this current method of transporting grain is not scientific. All passed in one wave. If the war lasted too long, we would have to run back and forth later.

He knew it, but Hudson didn't say anything. As a junior officer, just obey orders.

What's more, this is just counterinsurgency, not a national war. Talking about the continuity of the war is easy to make a joke.

In fact, even if there is a war between kingdoms in the Aslant continent, the war usually does not last very long.

The reason is very simple: war costs too much money and food. In the feudal era when productivity was backward, no one could stand a prolonged war.

Relying on the strong pressure of the "continuous sitting system" and killing a few unlucky guys who violated military orders, the grain transport team finally stabilized.

On the battlefield, it was uncertain whether they could be relied upon; anyway, logistics was used to transport food, and no one was lost anymore.

Of course, one of the reasons is also very important, that is, everyone’s food standards have improved. Not only are there enough brown bread tubes, but you can also get a bowl of salty minced meat soup.

Just with this bowl of salty minced meat soup, Hudson's image in the minds of the serf soldiers changed from a vicious aristocratic gentleman to a "generous" aristocratic gentleman.

There is no surprise. The extra salt and minced meat soup is the quota for the nobles of the Fifth Army.

Originally, Hudson wanted to swallow it himself, but the business travelers along the way disappeared, and there was no place to sell the stolen goods.

Grain and grass are bulk commodities, and there is no place to hide them even if you want to. Taking the embezzled food and grass, he went to join the main force. Hudson was not that stupid yet.

I severely despised those short-sighted businessmen who didn't even know how to seize such a good opportunity to make a fortune.

If you can't sell the dirt, you can't float it without supplies. Facing the cruel reality, Hudson can only be an upright soldier. He simply extended a wave of generosity to his allies and improved the food treatment of his soldiers.

After self-reflection, Hudson attributed the failure of corruption to a lack of wide-ranging personal connections.

It is true that businessmen pursue profit, but unfortunately their fists are not strong enough, and they are often cheated by unscrupulous nobles and lose all their money.

Even though they knew that the Fifth Army was responsible for transporting grain and grass, no one dared to do business. The biggest reason was that there were too many nobles in the Fifth Army and they simply couldn't handle it.

If you fail to handle any aspect, you may be hacked. Even if someone robbed this kind of shady transaction, they would not dare to announce it to the outside world.

The risks and benefits are not proportional, so naturally no one will come. After all, who would have thought that the nobles of the Fifth Army could still play tricks and go out to rob collectively, leaving Hudson alone to look after the house?

With his dream of getting rich shattered, Hudson could only float some disposable ordnance such as arrows to make up for his inner pain.
