Chapter 249 Laziness
When Roger woke up, he saw that the sunlight from the entrance of the tent was already very strong.
He knew he must have missed breakfast time, but he didn't care.
He remembered that he had announced yesterday that the entire army would take a day off today, so it didn't matter if he got up late.
He thought that the banquet last night was missing the nonsense of bragging king Minxi Howard Johnson, and the atmosphere was a little worse.
Fortunately, the wine is enough, so everyone is very excited in the end.
Roger didn't remember how much alcohol he drank, he just felt that his head hurts now.
He shouted, "Guard, get me some water."
The guards came in with water, and Henk also came in at the same time.
Henk reports: "The commander, an Eastern Rome official came from outside the camp, wearing a blazing garment. I tied him up. Are you going to meet him?"
Roger sat on the bed and drank water.
He asked, "Did that person say what he is here for?"
Henke said: "He said that the Deputy Emperor John sent him to thank us. He brought the civilians and brought a lot of supplies."
Roger said "Oh" and said lazily:
"I won't go to see him, don't tie him up, let it go, be polite."
Henke asked again: "What should I do with that material? Will I accept it?"
Roger said: "Cache, why not take it for free? Don't take it for free?"
Henk said: "The official said..."
Roger interrupted Henk's report and yawned:
"Don't bother me, you can do such a small matter."
So Henk touched his head and went out.
Roger turned around and continued to take care of his sleep.
He was not asleep yet, and the guards reported: "Muthiyi asked for a meeting."
Roger let Muthie in.
He asked, “Is there anything important?”
Muttier reported: "Captain, we have a connection with the spy. The spy found out that the Duke of Bavaria Welf and his troops were stationed in Nicea."
Roger asked: "How is his attitude towards us? Did William convince him?"
Muttier rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "The spies can't get into their noble circle."
"He said that the nobles and the knights were in the city of Nicea.
"But there are so many people in their city that they can't live there.
"The lower class soldiers and pilgrims are all scattered in the green areas and forests by Lake Nicea."
Roger said: "That's all? You disturb my sleep just to report these things?"
Mutelyi said: "Captain, you said it, and you will notify you as soon as there is news."
Roger waved his hand and said, "I understand, you go down."
Muttiyi left.
Roger shouted outside the tent: "Guards, unless there is military information, I will see no one."
He lay lazily down.
He thought, now he could have enough sleep.
......
Roger was woken up by the cheers.
He opened his confused eyes.
He listened to cheering outside the tent for a while.
He felt like he was in a downtown city.
Someone outside was saying: "I'm getting rich", "I'm happy", "How much did you get"...
Someone else was shouting: "Long live the emperor." "Salute to Your Highness."...
Roger was a little surprised, Emperor, where did the emperor come from?
He called the guards to come in.
He got up lazily and sat on the bed and asked:
"What's going on outside? Is the Eastern Roman Emperor here?"
The guard said: "There was an official from Eastern Rome who sent money to the soldiers in the camp. Whoever shouted to satisfy him would give him more money."
Roger was stunned for a while.
Then he was furious.
He shouted, "Who gave him the courage to pay in my camp?"
The guard said: "Captain, your personal guard captain Henk is by his side."
Roger got up angrily, ran out of the tent with his sword.
He saw an Eastern Roman official in a blazing suit in the open space in the barracks, grabbing a handful of money from the basket and handing it to a soldier waiting in line.
Behind the soldiers, nearly half of the soldiers lined up in a regular line.
Roger knew that this was also the result of his training.
He has always emphasized discipline in the army, and he has to queue up no matter what he does or even goes to the toilet.
He felt that the soldiers were performing well and very well-qualified now.
Then Roger realized that it was not the time to care about queuing.
He saw that on the other side of the open space, nearly half of the soldiers were cheering happily and counting money.
Although Roger was not interested in history in his previous life, he still remembered the story of Yuan Shikai's training at the small station due to the exam.
He thought that my soldiers could only accept the money I gave, just as a dog could only eat the feeding of his owner.
He thought, who allowed that man to pay in my military camp?
Roger saw Henk.
He walked over and pulled this fool to the side.
Roger asked Henk viciously: "Why did you ask this Eastern Roman official to pay in my military camp?"
Henk spread his hands and said, "You said, it's useless to take it."
Roger said: "I mean to take it all down, I didn't say I had to send it to the soldiers one by one."
Henk touched his head and said, "You don't explain it clearly, how did I know? He said he wanted to send this out, so I agreed."
"Damn, who allowed you to agree? Shouldn't you report to me first?"
"I'm here to report, but the tent guard said, this is not military information, so I won't disturb you.
"And you said before that I could do such a small thing myself, so I promised him."
Roger held his breath in his throat, and he remembered that he had indeed said so.
His fist-clenched hand waved a few times in vain in the air, and finally sighed "ah" with a sigh.
He said: "But this is not a small matter."
Henk looked stunned, like a child scolded by adults. He knew that he must have done something wrong, but he didn't know what he did.
Roger knew that Henke couldn't blame him for this matter. He didn't understand how serious this matter was.
Roger looked at the Eastern Roman official and obviously, it was John who sent him to deliver sugar-coated shells.
He knew that his soldiers did not have the awareness of the soldiers of the ** Army in later generations, and they did not know how to eat the sugar coat and shoot the shells back.
Roger knew there was no way to stop that man.
Half of the soldiers had already taken the money, while the other half was waiting with expectations.
If the official is prevented from sending money at this time, the soldiers who have not received the money will be resentful.
And if we want to balance, the soldiers who get the money will hand over all the money.
Then these cheerful soldiers will also have resentment.
Roger didn't want to fight with an army full of resentment.
So he has no way to stop it now.
He could only watch the Eastern Roman official, who used money to buy the hearts of his army under his nose.
Roger knew he had fallen this time.
His soldiers have already tasted the sweetness.
If the soldiers continue to taste the sweetness.
Then this army will no longer belong to him.
He would become the mercenary of Deputy Emperor John like the Valangi Guard.
Roger thought, the price of sleeping in such a lazy sleep is really high.
He thought, this is "laziness", it is worthy of being the source of all evil, so you can't be careless.
Roger knew that it was not too late to make up for the loss of the sheep.
