Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 320 Leader

Well, Jiang Tian found that he seemed to have underestimated the darkness of folk diet in this era.In other words, in this territory and local characters, the Kingdom of Zealand, which is similar to the Gaul chicken in another time and space, has similar approaches but equally satisfactory results, and the food style is actually not much different.

Although there are advanced agronomy and species brought by the Seres people, while improving productivity, the extent to which the lives of the inland people can be improved is quite limited.It is said that only in the southern coastal area of ​​the kingdom that has been deeply affected for a long time, there will be some improved products.

Therefore, farmers in the countryside usually eat all kinds of tubers, beans, oats, barley, rye and other fodder crops.Sometimes a lot of wild vegetable roots and wild fruits are added to make up the number.

The staple food of the residents in the towns and cities is roughly ground and baked, and it will become hard when cooled. It is said that it can be used as brown bread, or it is smashed barley, rye and water. , with sour stinky cheese, fermented porridge.

Those who are a little richer and able to eat fish and cured meat, that is, all kinds of stewing and grilling, and then add more and more ingredients and seasonings from various sources, and finally become a random stew for each person Miscellaneous cooking, an unknown stuff with a complex taste that is indescribable.

Usually, the military rations consisted of black pantothenic acid rusks, deadly salty bacon and dried fish, and wormy cheese.And the best food that can be served at a church service is some leavened bread with or without ashes.

Therefore, the niche beer that can be sold outside the civilian tavern, that is, the liquid and liquid in some rough clay pots and low-quality glass bottles, is poured out of greasy pottery cups and wooden bowls, and obvious suspended solids and precipitated impurities can be seen ; The taste is like the taste of halazi with the water in the pot.

Even so, no one used that luxurious drink to pair with the half-cooked barbecue meat under the fire, which was obviously lacking in oil and salt, to get themselves drunk.As for the leaders, they shared the private collection of the officers of the Principality of Milan, the spirits in translucent bottles.

It is also one of the specialty products introduced by the Saiwais who arrived in the Europa continent hundreds of years later, and it is the extracted shochu known as "the source of sailor's slow joy".Then it quickly became one of the monopoly products of the royal families of various countries, and a wine officer was specially set up to ban private brewing.

Here, in the private collection of the military officer in Milan, tea cakes of about ten pounds, a few small packets of coarse sugar for making tea, and a large jar of refreshing and appetizing preserves were found; The imported goods on the road have become one of the specialties of the colonies in the sea.

And the products sold to the inland folk by the merchants approved by Wang's sale are even mixed with a lot of puffed weight-increasing ingredients such as gravel and charcoal.Therefore, Jiang Tian personally recommended a few slices of grilled meat and cheese to satisfy his hunger with the sweet tea that was boiled with few impurities and had a strange smell.

Here, there are still some roast chickens and smoked geese collected from the town hall for these officers; several dozen raw eggs and a large bucket of milk; these were allocated by Xue Yue at the discretion of Xue Yue, so they can participate in the pre-event banquet The wounded and sick also received another wave of gratitude.

When the sky brightened up again, the town of João was already in another scene.And the spoils of that raid were also sorted out very slowly and complicatedly; although there were military supplies for thousands of people that Jiang Tian boasted about, there were still no supplies for hundreds of people as a wing station.

In addition to a full supply of long and short weapons, 78 pieces of armor including chain shirts, ring armor, and short armor were pieced together from under the corpses, and more than a dozen pieces were added. Leather bust jackets with iron plates and blister studs; and fewer thick cloth smocks.

Then, I found more than a dozen long and short matchlock guns of the same specification, as well as several large barrels of gunpowder and a small plate of lead weights, molds, iron picks, pliers, charcoal and other supporting tools.The armor is mainly used to arm the seventh team, and the firearms are classified into the first team.

Immediately afterwards, outside the residence of the regiment captain of the Duchy of Milan, where there were not a dozen officers and non-commissioned officers, we also found the reserve fund of the regiment and the property collected and looted by us privately.There are no less than a hundred silver coins of the small flower crown of the Kingdom of Sealand, and seven hundred silver coins of the large flower crown;

There are [-] silver coins of the coat of arms of the Principality of Milan, and there are not a few gold and silver vessels, necklaces, bracelets and other small and large jewelry; measured by the ancient silver coins commonly used in the Kingdom of Sealand, the value is probably seven to eight thousand and one crown is equal to seventy centimes (coppers).

After the July storm, the price of the kingdom is seven centimes (copper coins), and you can get an independent room with cold water and eight meals in the hotel.Or enough for a day for a family of seven outside the town.Even in some remote areas, you can only have a chance to see it when you pay taxes in Spring and Autumn.

Of course, the capital government, which is now in special rotation with the revolving lanterns, issues all kinds of tokens and scrolls. After the shock, the prices have already been high, and they have risen eight times a day.However, because of the relatively high weight when it was cast, the ecu and centimes only depreciated by half.

So Xue Yue decided to distribute the money to Xiaojia. About one thousand centimes of various copper coins will be divided according to the head count, one part will be distributed to the team he belongs to, and another part will be distributed according to the specific performance and contribution; .Although the specific number of people is small, it is also a good start.

And before that, I announced the rules governing the distribution of spoils and battlefield seizures.Among them, the food, property, and equipment are managed in a unified manner and rationed according to the needs; while the first half of the valuation of other objects belongs to the public, and the other half belongs to individuals, so naturally there is a promise.

Then it took another whole day to repair, search carefully, and pack up and take away all the materials that can be used.Then, they took away the belongings and piled them up under the big square behind the town hall, allowing the surviving local residents to use them for themselves...

So, before Jiang Tian and his party left the devastated town of João, the fully loaded team doubled again.Among them were neither the townspeople who joined the ranks of revenge because of the tragedy suffered by their families, nor the local farmers who were captured, nor were there many captured soldiers of the Queen's Kingdom Army.

Therefore, although there is no increase in the establishment of the eight teams, the number of people has been slightly expanded.In particular, the long and short weapon groups of the seventh team have been expanded to 40 and 81 people respectively.The equipment has also been replaced by at least [-]-[-]% new ones from the miscellaneous and rusty old gadgets.

Even the two washerwomen, Lila and Shaoli, lost one or four temporary companions/hands-on; the reason is very reasonable, before the scourge of these soldiers of the Northern Italian Allied Forces/Duchy of Milan, the permanent residents of João Town Almost half of them disappeared, and many orphans and widows were created.

Therefore, those men who have become lonely and dependent may not be able to survive even if they continue to stay in the local area; so they accept the asylum of the temporary army at a certain price, and then go to the next city to seek life; That was just a meager hope.

Jiang Tian also lost a big guy with a pot head for many years.The reason is also very interesting. I am both the mayor’s brother-in-law and an accounting student at the church school in the provincial capital. Before the whole family of the mayor who supported me was killed; Work.

In addition, I am also clumsier than this one, and I can only say "Lord Lord" and "Lord Almighty" when I open my mouth; but when I see bloody surgery and wound dressing, I have all kinds of records of pale face and limp hands and feet Andrew, a member of staff, is more intelligent, reliable and dexterous.

There is a mistake, the current Jiang Tian is both a leader and a coach, the first team leader, and a front-line officer; he is also the only military doctor.Therefore, as the team becomes more empty and standardized, all kinds of tedious things are too few; so we have to find a way to share some of them.

Although the military system of the kingdom is relatively moderate and lacks many characteristics compared with other countries; but at the small regiment level, it also includes deputy head, first lieutenant, flag officer, military judge, military medical officer, quartermaster, financial officer/controller Waiting, there are a total of seventy auxiliary officers and affiliated personnel.

At the regiment level, there are no more than a dozen auxiliary non-commissioned officers, including deputy company commanders, flag holders, clerks, sergeant majors, doctors, coaches, and recorders.Here, there are also a number of special titles for the management of craftsmen and labor.Therefore, Jiang Tian can only quickly fill up those candidates and positions.

The encounters and experiences along the way also made Jiang Tian, ​​who had just passed through a small unified dynasty in a peaceful and prosperous age, realize again the truth of the so-called "bandits pass like a sieve, and soldiers pass like a grate" in the ancient population.It is already limited to the damage caused by the enemy's invasion and transit.

There is no previous chain reaction of chaos, refugees and bandits; it is like ripples that are constantly being stirred up and spread, quickly destroying the social order and the sense of danger of the common people wherever they pass; The resulting cut-off of commercial travelers and the barrenness of fields had even less impact.

In the end, in a series of vicious circles of famine, plague, and turmoil, the population as a factor of flow is less likely to be wiped out, small pieces of land will be barren and towns will be abandoned, and finally a rush to form a few inhabited areas will stop. It is the continuous internal friction of "Seven Knights of the Apocalypse".

Therefore, the least that Xue Yue saw along the way was the new and old corpses and full heads hanging in the roadside under the street trees whose branches and leaves had been gnawed off; In the grass, there are naked or mutilated corpses.

Sometimes it is the starving people lying on the shade of the trees as thin as a stick, with bark and leaves stuffed outside their mouths, and their eyes glazed over.Or simply there are piles of suspicious bones with teeth marks left; while carrion crows are chirping in the treetops, and wild dogs are also wandering nearby.
