As the training camp began one after another, the province of Morbiang returned to peace again. The provincial government of Morbiang, who returned to Vanne, kept asking for help from Paris to cry for poverty, but had not been slow to operate military operations against Levi.

In fact, Levi now controls nearly half of the province of Morbien, including the territory previously controlled by the city of Vanne.

Li Wei did not garrison in these territories, but sent troops to deter the cities and towns and then retreated after changing their flags.

Relying on the reputation of breaking through Vanne, Li Wei easily intimidated the large villages and towns in Morbiang Province.

Of course, the real big cities have not yet surrendered, and Li Wei can easily intimidate large villages and towns, which has a lot to do with the shrinking of troops in various places in the cities in Morbiang Province.

In this way, the two sides maintained a delicate balance.

Now the civil strife in the Kingdom of France is becoming more and more intense. Although there are not many private troops of the nobles, they are still somewhat insecure. The church forces who are unwilling to surrender have also caused a lot of trouble for the local governments that have seized power.

There were even defeated or expelled nobles fled to the town of Charles, seeking the protection of Levi.

Unfortunately, when these nobles fled to Li Wei's territory, they basically had no troops under their command. They had no use except to strengthen Li Wei's momentum.

Fucai brought a lot, but Li Wei could not rob these aristocratic colleagues who escaped.

Of course, these fugitive nobles who lost their power were not useless, at least they made the town of Charles much more prosperous.

After all, these nobles all need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and it is impossible to sleep on the streets. Under the protection of Levi, the taverns and hotel-related industries in Charles town became popular.

However, the increased tax revenue is not very helpful to Li Wei now. Li Wei, who just looted Vanne City, is not short of money. His mercenary intermediary is spending a lot of money in Central and European regions!

Li Wei had no intention of leaving any money, and planned to invest most of the proceeds from looting Vanne City into recruiting mercenaries.

Li Wei has already thought about it. The fiscal revenue in the future will mainly depend on robbery!

Anyway, the aristocratic class is now losing power. Looking around, those local city governments can basically be considered enemies, and there is no pressure to rob them.

Two months later, the assembled mercenaries, with the battalion led by Polcha, successfully landed on the sea route to the province of Morbiang and came to the town of Charles.

Morbiang Province is a coastal province.

Resarith, a veteran colonel who has been in the army of the Duchy of Bavaria for many years.

Now he is the commander of the Bavarian Mercenary Group.

There were about two thousand soldiers under his command.

All are infantry!

There is no way, the employment price of cavalry is too high, and Li Wei doesn't need it too much, and artillery can't be hired.

After all, those German countries were also worried that their artillery would be transported to other countries and then detained!

Artillery is a very expensive weapon in this era.

Before the city of Vanne plundered the entire province, it only accumulated more than a dozen cannons to fight against Li Wei.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the long-standing peace in the Kingdom of France.

Obviously, the mercenaries brought by Resarith were the regular army of the Principality of Bavaria, but they were temporarily stripped away, which was also a common method for German countries.

Mercenaries fighting abroad have nothing to do with them. If they die, their employers will need to pay high pensions!

It doesn’t matter if you don’t pay, at most you will be blacklisted by the international mercenary industry.

Now Livi not only paid a large sum of money to the Principality of Bavaria, but also had to bear the military pay and all the needs of the mercenary Resarith in the future.

Otherwise, why would this mercenary help Li Wei in the war?

This is actually because after Li Wei rented the army of the Duchy of Bavaria, he not only had to pay the rent, but also treated the army as his own army, and his military pay was similar to that of the regular army.

This is also the reason why many countries are unwilling to accept mercenaries in this era. The money for raising mercenaries can be used to form a standing army, and the maintenance cost can even be lower.

This has also led to the mercenary industry becoming more and more high-end in Europe. With fewer customers in mercenary troops, the competitive pressure in the mercenary industry will naturally increase. Of course, everyone should work hard to improve the credibility and quality of their own mercenaries.

It can be said that mercenaries from Italy rarely appear on the battlefield, and the market is almost snatched away by mercenaries from Germany and Switzerland!

As for the miscellaneous mercenaries, they have actually transformed into security forces, and are generally hired by wealthy people and nobles in small quantities to protect themselves.

After meeting Resarith, Levi ignored him and handed over the temporary camp that had been prepared to Resarith's troops so that his people would not sleep in the open...

Such treatment made Lesarith's team complain, and they did not receive a meeting gift from their employer!

Of course, Li Wei didn't have much money to reward them. This mercenary named Li Wei was just used as an auxiliary army, so he naturally wouldn't care about their mood.

Just don't prick yourself.

If it is really a backstab, the reputation of the mercenaries in the Principality of Bavaria will be completely bad in the future. Once the reputation is fiercely competitive in Europe, once it loses its reputation, you will basically not expect to take on business.

Now that the last training session is about to end, Li Wei has begun to reorganize the Black Dragon Legion under his command.

After the last training period is over, the total strength of the Black Dragon Legion will exceed the 4,400 mark, so it is naturally impossible to continue to maintain the size of a regiment.

Li Wei split it into two infantry regiments with similar numbers.

Anyway, they are all basic line infantry, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is not much different.

Gascoll is in charge of the First Infantry Regiment of the Black Dragon Legion.

Carl was promoted to colonel and was in charge of the Second Infantry Regiment.

Carl, the man who had made a malicious move to cleanse his political enemies for Levi, was obviously favored by Levi. After the Battle of Vanne, many people were promoted to lieutenant colonel, but only Carl went further to become a colonel, independent from his old boss Gascoll, and took charge of an infantry regiment alone.

In addition, more than a dozen artillery pieces were incorporated into the Black Dragon Legion by Li Wei and a separate artillery battalion was established.

The personnel of the artillery battalion were not brainwashed, and the artillery inside were all captured gunners requisitioned by Li Wei.

It is the gunner who was loyal to the Vanne Municipal Government.

The loyalty of these people is naturally impossible to guarantee, but the wired infantrymen dare not act rashly when they see them.

After the reorganization, the Black Dragon Legion controlled two line infantry regiments, one artillery battalion, one Bavarian infantry regiment, and one temporary baggage battalion.
