Mount and Blade Central Asia

He destroyed the castle of the Eagle of Order and killed the members inside, but until now the Eagle of Order has not made any decent counterattack.

The great conqueror had openly used the power of the Scarlet Wind to transform one of his sons into something neither human nor demon, causing a family tragedy. The Eagle of Order remained silent.

But when it comes to me, these people find fault with me. To put it bluntly, aren't they bullying me because the power in their hands is not strong enough, at least not as powerful as the Mamluk Sultan, or as domineering as the great conqueror?

"Have you dealt with the corpse?" Li Rufeng was very concerned about the result. Each of the followers of the Four Wind Gods had a strong physique and was particularly difficult to kill. It would be easy to fail if you were not a professional.

"We have completely purified the corrupted corpse." Muel felt a little sad when he spoke. As the castle of the holy city was destroyed, the black stone powder of the Kaaba in their hands became less and less.

And last night, in order to ensure that the body was burned cleanly, they used a full kilogram of black stone powder.

"Okay, our focus today is on establishing a communication mechanism that allows you all to share your strengths and weaknesses and help each other," Li Rufeng said straight to the point. "In this war over the power of miracles, although we come from different places, we share a common enemy. If we can't put aside our differences and seek common ground while reserving our differences, we've already lost half the battle."

When Li Rufeng finished saying this, Muel subconsciously glanced at the dark wizard Misia, and Misia lowered his head even lower. He also felt that he should not be here.

Is this something he can listen to? Is this something he can do? Who should he seek common ground with? Isn't he a true believer in the Azure Wind?

"As the saying goes, it's not the heart that matters. You just need to listen and don't need to speak." Li Rufeng said lightly. He still needed Misia to manage the other black wizards in Mosul City and the miracle power devices in several wizard towers. Naturally, he could not exclude him from the relevant departments he established.

"Yes, sir." Misia wiped the sweat off her forehead and took two steps forward.

"What happened last night has already proved their capabilities. I hope that next time the Eagle of Order finds threats posed by the Four Winds God or other users of miracles in my territory, they will notify me first and I will decide how and when to deal with it." Li Rufeng said to Muel.

Although the Jinyiwei are well-informed, they are outsiders after all, while the Eagle of Order is a local organization with extensive roots and a faster response.

However, considering their failure in the Mamluk Empire, it is difficult to say how great this advantage is.

Li Rufeng's request made Muel fall silent. They had always avoided establishing such an equal cooperation mechanism with the rulers of secular regimes.

But in front of those rulers who are strong enough, this kind of "aloofness" is meaningless. Li Rufeng is now forcing the Eagle of Order Organization to recognize his strength.

Muel had no right or qualifications to agree to such conditions. He could only say after a moment of silence: "This is not a decision I can make. I need time to communicate with others."

"Okay, but before that, I hope the Eagle of Order won't interfere with the rest of us." Li Rufeng pointed to the other people in the hall. Except for Muheya who smiled politely at Muel, no one else expressed anything.

"Now, you can leave." Li Rufeng felt somewhat complicated when he said this.

He recalled the days when he and the Eagle of Order had fought together in Aleppo. At that time, the Eagle of Order had almost descended from the sky like a ray of light, illuminating Li Rufeng's world shrouded by the Four Wind Gods.

For a long time, due to his influence on the old shaman and Haishar, Li Rufeng over-glorified the users of the power of miracles and the specific organization of the Eagle of Order.

He even forgot that the old shaman was such a free and easy person, and eventually became just a shaman of a small tribe. When he died, only he and Bater were guarding his body. He forgot that Haishar was just one of the many knights of the Eagle of Order.

Of course, Li Rufeng's change in attitude towards the Order of England organization was also due to changes in himself.

From a shaman of a small tribe to the official successor of Timur, Li Rufeng has seen scenery that others have never seen in their entire lives in just a few years, and his attitude and ambition towards the world are constantly changing.

Mr. Li is now a qualified political animal, so qualified that he can devote himself to a new campaign the day after his wedding night. Whether on a real battlefield or in this invisible smoke of war, Li Rufeng will have the upper hand!

Chapter 692 Military Reform

Taking advantage of the wedding, the core figures of Li Rufeng's forces finally had the opportunity to gather together in this marathon war. Of course, there were still a few important figures missing.

For example, Muzaffar almost became the de facto governor of Syria. After Li Rufeng left his loyal land, the entire Syrian region was under the jurisdiction of Muzaffar.

For example, the actual managers of the cities behind Li Rufeng were unable to leave their posts due to busy government affairs. Most of them could only send their deputies to attend Li Rufeng's wedding and present gifts.

Thanks to the arrival of these people, after experiencing so many tragedies, Mosul had relatively abundant supplies for the first time, which at least ensured that Mr. Li could fulfill his promise and ensure that the people of Mosul had enough food and drink during his wedding celebrations.

The benefits that could be truly implemented on individuals have won the loyalty of the people of Mosul to a considerable extent. Even though Li Rufeng killed the assassins with thundering force on the street on the wedding day, causing many civilian casualties, it did not shake the gratitude of the people of Mosul towards Li Rufeng.

The people of Mosul, plagued by disasters, have hardly had a good life in the past few years. If Li Rufeng had come a few years later, the fate of Mosul would most likely have become like that of Aleppo.

Only an empty frame remains of the city, and many buildings have fallen into disrepair due to lack of residents. The entire city has almost become a ghost town.

Bardock, who had almost recovered from his injuries, was sitting opposite Li Rufeng. Behind him sat a large group of officers from different forces. Li Rufeng was reorganizing the military forces under his command.

This was the second time Li Rufeng attempted to reorganize the military. However, the last time, because the forces at hand were relatively dispersed and there was really no one available, and the Mongolians under his command posed too much resistance to the military reform, Master Li only increased the number of infantry.

Now, with the arrival of troops mobilized by the Mongolian warlords in the western region and their stationing outside the city, the balance of power under Li Rufeng was broken again.

Most of the time, the Mongols were not united, and they were divided into countless tribes. Among them, the tribes that directly pledged allegiance to the Golden Family had the highest status.

For example, the Mongols pledged allegiance directly to Chagatai, the second son of Genghis Khan, and enjoyed a high status. In contrast, the heavily Turkified Mongolian warlords in the western region of the Timurid Khanate had no connections at all and were always regarded as second-class people by the Mongols led by Qinggeli Nayan.

But the second class is also Mongolian, especially at this critical juncture.

Although the chiefs of the Mughal tribes lacked a sense of the overall situation and even lacked ambition, and only wanted to maintain the status quo, they were at least very sensitive to their own interests.

Li Rufeng's repeated efforts to raise the status of Armenians in the country undoubtedly shook the privileges of the Mongols, and his efforts to raise the status of merchants also ran counter to the Mongolian tradition of universal military service.

During Li Rufeng's expedition to Mosul and Baghdad, some people did some tricks, but on the other hand, Li Rufeng's personal guards were like nails, nailed in various important positions. Their absolute loyalty to Li Rufeng made many people dare not act rashly.

On the other hand, because Li Rufeng's reputation was too high, these chiefs could not find an opportunity for a while. Qinggelinayan, the only one who could compete with Li Rufeng in the Mongolian group, also chose to completely withdraw from the fight, keeping himself under Li Rufeng's nose at all times and turning a blind eye to all the hints from those chiefs.

In fact, Qinggelinayan even personally persuaded those tribal chiefs who had ideas, hoping that they would not take any action, but to no avail.

The only thing he could do was to keep an eye on his younger brother Dangertai and prevent him from becoming a pawn used by others again.

Li Rufeng tolerated the small actions of these tribal chiefs and used victory after victory to win over the Mongolian cavalry serving under his command. The Mongol tribe was the foundation of his rule, and he could not destroy the Great Wall himself.

But Li Rufeng did not intend to surrender. This time he wanted to establish a more complete military system and completely take away the military power from those tribal chiefs.

Li Rufeng knew that his plan would definitely encounter resistance, but the good news was that the most brave and warlike knights in the entire Monwell tribe were currently under his command and were concentrated near the city of Mosul.

These warriors were far away from their homes and from the tribal chiefs who clung to power tightly.

Li Rufeng can influence these knights more directly than those chiefs, and now he has the ability to establish a standing army system.

"In order to cope with the increasingly intense wars in the future, we need more elite soldiers. I plan to establish a system of professional soldiers to completely separate them from the ordinary people. These soldiers will no longer be responsible for any production tasks, but will be directly supported by me and... the entire country. They will only be responsible for combat missions." This was the first time Li Rufeng used the word "country" to refer to his own power.

Hearing Li Rufeng's words, all the soldiers present couldn't help but exclaimed. Many of them had secretly discussed whether Li Rufeng had the idea of ​​establishing an independent country, but when these words came out of Li Rufeng himself, these soldiers became excited.

A new country means a complete military organization, a large number of vacancies, and a large number of them will become masters of the world from now on!

"Bardock, your talent and loyalty have been proven. I hope you can shoulder more responsibilities," Li Rufeng said to his most professional officer. "From today on, I intend to promote you to general. You will be responsible for all troop movements under me. Can you do it?"

Bardock was shocked by this proposal. During the period of recuperation, he always thought that he had been kicked out of the core of power of Li Rufeng's forces, and he was a little disheartened. But he didn't expect that there would be such a big surprise waiting for him as soon as he came back. For a moment, his heart beat faster and his whole body trembled.

All his loyalty to the Great Conqueror and his longing for his family back home became a thing of the past. Bardock stood up suddenly, pounded his chest hard, and shouted, "I can, sir!"

"Very good. I need you to discuss more complete things with me, but now we have a bigger problem to deal with, which is to redistribute the duties of the centurions."
