Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

Cassia moved quickly. On the night Richard asked him to go back and draft the structure, he wrote down a frame of his mind about the standing army on a long parchment overnight. .

The standing army of Mein will be expanded to 1,000. This was agreed with Richard in advance. The 1,000-person standing army will be divided into two hundred cavalry, two hundred and forty shooters and five hundred and sixty. Infantry.

Two hundred cavalry are divided into five cavalry platoons with forty cavalry, two hundred and forty shooters are also divided into three eighty-man Hundred Men Squad, Cassia considers the current army The number of crossbowmen was large, so the three Hundred Men Squad were booked as two crossbowmen teams and one archer team.

The remaining five hundred and sixty infantrymen were divided into four spearmen teams and three sword and shield teams according to the types of weapons they used. The commanders of the seven infantry Hundred Men Squad and the three shooter Hundred Men Squad were uniformly selected by the veterans in the team, and finally let Richard choose the most capable one from the candidates.

The cavalry is also the same as the infantry. This does not need to be elaborated. However, because of the division into five cavalry platoons, the existing veterans will be dispersed. From the five platoons, three light cavalry teams and two heavy cavalry teams were divided.

In addition, Kuliot’s scout team and Voleos’ medical team will also expand their personnel, but because they are independent of the standing army, the expanded personnel will not occupy the standing army’s quota. . In addition, Cassia also took into account the engineering knowledge that Rachem possessed, and envisaged forming another engineering team with Rachem as the skinny to deal with possible future tough battles.

Of course, in addition to the engineering team can play a role in the battle, they can also direct soldiers to build more complete camps and corresponding defense measures when the army is stationed.

After the sketch given by Cassia was reviewed by Richard, it was highly praised by Richard. I have to say that appointing Cassia as the military commander is indeed a very correct move. If Richard himself wants to If so, he must also spend a lot of effort.

Richard adopted Cassia’s sketch, and at the same time, he told the opponent that after expanding the standing army, he still needs to regularly conduct military training for the conscripts in the conscript to improve the battle strength and individual quality of the conscripts—perhaps The use of the term individual literacy for conscripts is a bit flamboyant, but it is indeed necessary.

Richard has not forgotten the news that Duke Lelis revealed to him when he was in Touraine. The king Your Majesty wild ambition always wants to fight for power with the aristocratic house. It is very likely to appear in the next five years. What makes the political turmoil major event happen, if he does not plan ahead, he will be unable to resist what happens in the future.

Oh, not only the king Your Majesty wild ambition, Richard is also full of ambition, how can a little earl satisfy him? His goal is much more than that, he is about to marry the duke’s only daughter Teresa, he will be the new duke after the duke’s death.

Even the duke can’t satisfy Richard. From the 21st century, there is a greater ambition hidden in his heart-that is to become a king and even create a powerful empire with his own hands.

To achieve that ambition, he must seize the major event that is likely to erupt in the next five years. This is also what he agreed to expand the standing army and ordered the military commander to conduct military training on the conscripts on a regular basis. The reason is that only with a strong army can he gain the right to speak.

If Duke Olsson Lelis knew what Richard was thinking, he would be very pleased.

……

Cassia, who got Richard’s approval, was anxious to start the conscription work. Together with the Minister of the Seal Jacob, he started the first census after Richard’s arrival. This census was carried out in conjunction with Roger’s trio of bandits. Under the severe attack of the Earl’s army against the thunder, the landlords and village heads all over the country did not dare to conceal the messengers who came to investigate. , The number of people living on the land is reported.

To be honest, Richard originally planned to take the set of his land allocation in Luofei Village for promotion here, but considering that it is likely to attract the attention of other nobles, he also After dispelling this idea, he took it out hastily, fearing that he would become a public enemy of the nobility soon, and even if he was the son-in-law of Duke Olsson, he would not be able to protect him.

So, Richard is still obediently and honestly following the crowd and being a typical medieval nobleman. Don’t change the rules of this World without authorization, at least don’t do such stupid things until you have a strong military force. However, the method of fertilizing manure can be promoted. This method will not touch the bottom line of the interests of the nobles. At most, Richard will be laughed at in the noble circles for a while…

Does Richard care about being the protagonist of being laughed at? The answer is obviously no. Those aristocrats may still laugh at Richard in the early stage, but after the output increases after fertilization, they will not be able to laugh, and they will even cheekily imitate Richard.

At the same time as the census, Richard also began to plan to build an ordnance factory. The expansion of the standing army requires a large amount of weapons and equipment. Judging from the current reserves in Mein City, it is obviously insufficient. In addition, Richard will also expand his army in the cavalry world in the future, where the recruits also need to be equipped with weapons.

Although Richard can place orders from various blacksmith workshops and blacksmith shops in the city, the quality of the finished products will be different because the master’s technical level of each shop is different. If you build an official ordnance For the factory, there is no need to worry about these problems. Richard can completely copy the assembly line and implement a product responsibility system, engraving the producer’s mark on each finished product, so that it can be directly traced after quality problems occur.

This is the rule of the Qin Dynasty in history. The weapons used by the Qin people will be engraved with the mark of the production craftsman. Quality problems can be directly traced to the craftsmen’s head, which also caused the craftsmen not to dare sloppy-work, the size of the weapons produced is accurate to one cent, and the quality of the weapons used by the Qin army far exceeds that of the Kanto countries.

Richard knows how much capital and materials are needed to build an ordnance factory, but he thinks the Early-Stage investment is very worthwhile. As long as he can have a shaped factory that can continuously produce No worries about weapons and equipment, the excess reserves can also be sold to lords and nobles at home and abroad-the ordnance trade is also a generous income.

In addition, he does not have to worry about the raw materials, as long as he can freely cross the riding and cutting world, then his raw materials are also inexhaustible.
