I was pulling trees in Daming, and Lao Zhu begged me to come out of retirement

Chapter 156: Building a Castle, the Knights Templar Guild!
The strange scene of the soul being detained made the surrounding villagers terrified.

Although Catholics boast that doing good deeds and believing in Christ can lead to going to heaven after death, no one has ever seen what heaven looks like.

Now Tianyu has turned the souls of these bandits into the will of the devil and held them in his hands.

This made them realize one thing clearly.
That is, they don’t know whether they can go to heaven or not, but it is a foregone conclusion that they have offended Tianyu and will never be reborn.

The villagers praised Tianyu, and even though Tianyu was not familiar with French, he felt a little embarrassed.

He sighed in his heart:

"The people of medieval Europe were so easy to ignore...bah...so simple."

However, Tianyu also realized a very serious problem.
That means he should continue to train his own thugs... bah... fanatics.

Although the blood magic mod has greatly improved its own combat effectiveness, if you want to protect these kind-hearted people who donate blood for free, you still need the necessary force.

The cost of training a blood mage is somewhat high, and most of the advanced materials come from the netherworld, which is difficult to collect even for Tianyu in a short period of time. Therefore, the more practical way is to imitate the Holy See and train a group of knights first.

Knights were prevalent in medieval Europe.

It was originally a group of cavalrymen who fought on horseback, and was brainwashed by the Holy See through culture to create a religious army of hunting.

The most famous of these are naturally the three major knightly orders in medieval Europe: the Knights Hospitaller, the Knights Templar and the Teutonic Knights.

These knightly orders were founded during the Crusades, with the primary purpose of protecting the Christian holy city of Jerusalem from Muslim threats.

The Knights Hospitaller was originally a relief order, but later evolved into a military group.

The Knights Templar were founded by French nobleman Hugues de Payant and were named after Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, where their headquarters were located. The organization also had a major influence in finance and economics.

The Teutonic Knights were mainly composed of Germans and were mainly active in Eastern Europe. They were originally founded by Pope Urban II during the First Crusade.

Among them, the Knights Templar became cannon fodder in the struggle between theocracy and military power and was treated as heretic and disbanded.

For various reasons, the other two knightly orders directly occupied the mountains and established the Knights' Kingdom, which even lasted until the Napoleonic era.

Therefore, the military organization of the Knights Templar is definitely a good means of deterrence in Europe at the current stage.

The only thing that made Tianyu feel embarrassed was that the population of this village was already very sparse, and it was all elderly, weak, women and children. Even if he made the corresponding knight armor himself, there were not enough able-bodied men to serve as manpower.

Therefore, the first step he had to take now was to recruit people, or at least to put together the original team to build the Knights Templar.

So he needed to transform the village into a castle.

Yes, it is the castle.

Medieval Europe has been in a city-state model with weak rule.

The reason why many serfs and common people were willing to depend on the lords was because the lords owned an indestructible castle.

They were able to gather these refugees into the city for refuge when barbarians invaded.

In Europe, the nomadic invasions faced by various countries were much more serious than those faced by China.

Such as Ural people, Finns, Huns, Afar people, Bulgarians, Mongols and so on.

They were mostly pure destroyers, a fierce and cruel people who knew only a nomadic lifestyle and had no other wealth except their own cattle and sheep.

Therefore they would plunder from the war what was necessary for their survival.

These people gathered into nomadic tribes or tribal alliances, each unit could produce 2000 people, and then consisted of hundreds of patriarchal families, each of whom was an extremely elite cavalry. cavalry, without the defense of a castle, could destroy most of the troops of barons, even viscounts and earls.

Especially after the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty, a large number of Mongolian nobles were unwilling to submit to the harsh rule of Zhu Yuanzhang's Great Sun and Moon and the Chinese United Empire, and chose to flee to the west with their tribes.

As a result, the number of bandits involved in recent looting is much greater than the barbarians Tianyu encountered in Europe during the same period in his previous life, and the people's demand for castles is also much greater.

Therefore, if you want to attract talents, an indestructible castle is essential.

So Tianyu skillfully organized this group of Palu to cut down trees, make pickaxes and dig stones, while Tianyu began to level the land and build city walls with his own small building as the center.

Yes, it is a city wall. It is really troublesome to build a medieval castle.
Moreover, Tianyu expressed deep contempt for the sewage systems of medieval European castles.

He had never seen any dynasty that built toilets directly on the suspended outer wall.
There was so much shit piled up outside the city that the kings of France had to raise the city walls to prevent the enemies from climbing up the walls by stepping on the shit.

Therefore, the first item Tianyu took out during this period was the flush toilet.

Among the many mods updated at that time, there was a mod called [mrcrayfish's Furniture] that only required quartz blocks and buttons to create a flush toilet that did not require pipes and had unlimited flushing.

For Tianyu, this thing is no less useful than a steam turbine.

He had already made plans. Once the castle was built, he would send people to various city-states to sell flush toilets. Given the nature of European nobles, this thing would definitely be sold at a sky-high price.

When I write a book about my rebirth and selling toilets in Europe in the future, it will definitely become a hit.

Despite what he said, Tianyu still worked honestly as a construction worker.

Considering that this time the purpose was to fool people... ahem... recruit talents to build it, Tianyu paid a lot of attention to the aesthetics of the details.

Finally, after he synthesized the beacon formula, he very humanely built a floating pyramid on the roof and matched it with golden glass.

When the castle was completed,
The golden beam of light from the beacon shot straight into the sky.
Even villagers who lived hundreds of miles away could see the magical beam of light in the clear sky.

Such a shocking scene completely detonated Europe.

The news that England and France were trying hard to suppress the Gate of Hell spread throughout Europe in an instant!

You know, zombie pigmen drop gold!
After their initial fear, these French and English nobles immediately turned from sadness to joy when they discovered that the dead demons actually dropped gold.

Heavy civilian casualties?

It does not matter!

Anyway, the role of the common people is to help work on their own estates.

There were fewer people in the past, and because the nobles were competing with each other and poaching people, the treatment given to those lowly people became higher and higher.

Nowadays, you can get countless gold just by killing monsters, which is a blessing for the nobles who own castles.

Anyway, those monsters will automatically retreat during the day, so why not turn the cities within the range of the Hell's Gate into a holy place for monster spawning?

However, just as the plan was about to be implemented, the sudden rise of holy light disrupted the plans of Britain and France.

This magical scene attracted a large number of merchants and wanderers to explore.
When they saw the huge castle and the pillars of light reaching the sky, they were shocked.

Especially when a huge "Knights Templar Guild" was hung above the main entrance of the castle, everyone's scalp tingled.

This is going to be a huge uproar!
