At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was a feudal town, but in Western Europe

Standing in front of everyone, Han Gang announced the grain harvest of this year in a high tone.

Dozens of military leaders in the general's mansion shouted loudly or asked, and some even left their seats to whisper.

"Cough cough." Feng Sen coughed twice, and the captains immediately sat back on their stools obediently, straightened their bodies like a conditioned reflex, and waited for Feng Sen's lecture.

At Feng Sen's suggestion, Feng Di adopted a group of orphans to serve as guards, and set up a lecture hall in the army to retrain middle and lower-level officers. Most of these school lieutenants now teach martial arts Tang or orphans, it can be regarded as the army built by Feng Sen himself.

So in the hands of others, they are a group of undisciplined wild soldiers, but in front of Feng Sen, they have always been good soldiers who obey orders.

"Everyone, I won't say much. Why do we serve as soldiers? We suffer so much, suffer so much, and tie our heads to our waistbands! What do we want?

It's all about money, power, fame, fortune, and women!Serving as a soldier is for the sake of being a superior person. If you are only dead, this business is not worth it!

What about Lao Tzu, because we didn’t have the conditions in the past, and everyone was forced to work hard and suffer, but now that we have money and food, how can we make everyone suffer? !

What's more, we Han people have neither hometown nor relatives and friends in this western land. Lao Tzu and everyone are brothers, and if we treat brothers, those who pick and search are not human! "

Feng Sen sat on the chair impatiently, with his hands on his knees: "If you want money, power or women, I can give you anything, and I will do what I say!

First of all, the first point is the identity of the tooth soldiers. The tooth soldiers are on the same day as the country. If Laozi and Laozi's descendants have a mouthful, you will have a half mouthful.

From today onwards, the monthly rations will be given to Ya Bing himself: 1 dendrobium of rye (120 catties), [-] dendrobium of wheat, half a bolt of cloth, four loads of firewood, one winter coat of wool, one liter of oil, and a house in the city. , two acres of residential land outside the city.

The relatives of Yabing soldiers have two dou of rye and one dou of wheat per mouth per month per adult. Yabing soldiers are given [-] solidas for marrying daughters and fifteen solididas for marrying daughters-in-law. Relatives within five generations of soldiers are not allowed to cultivate military land. Land cannot be pawned, and soldiers and their relatives are not allowed to borrow human resources from military-administered land.

The Yabing position shall be inherited by the Yabing himself, and the remaining family members will be born after three generations. In addition, in the future, I will establish a special school. The sons of the Yabing must receive six years of compulsory education, and in the future, officials will When serving as a general, dental soldiers will be given priority. "

Feng Sen thinks about the population under his command in the following way. The top Han people and aristocrats carry out compulsory education and establish a modernized elite army and modernized bureaucracy, while the middle-level bannermen and free people are responsible for being tenant farmers and small farmers, providing resources for the eliteization of the Han people, while the bottom-level slaves and coats are the slave system.

This kind of system is not because Feng Sen is a racist, but based on practical considerations, that is, the population of Han people is too small. Although there are golden fingers that can transport people from the Central Plains, the question is, can 2000 million people be transported here?

The Han people are destined to be a minority in Western Europe, but due to the prejudice and cultural perception of people in this era, it is difficult for them to stand on Feng Sen's side. Therefore, in order to protect himself, Feng Sen must let the people who support him the most have the strongest power, and the only way for the people who support him the most to continue to support him is the system of oppression layered above.

So what is the most powerful force in Feng Sen's eyes?Force and economy are the greatest sources of power, and this can be fully reflected in two things. The first is the modernized army, and the second is the enlightened commodity economy.

A modernized army is almost equivalent to a superman for the feudal army, and the modernized army has an obvious trend of elite soldiers, which is very suitable for Feng Sen's sparse population.

It is not impossible to establish a modern army in the feudal era. For example, the Yue family army has the shadow of a modern army, and the Qi family army is a modern army with a layer of feudal skin.

But the problem is, whether it is the Yue family army or the Qi family army has a prosperous commodity economy and a certain amount of political support, Feng Sen doesn't have what he wants, and he doesn't have enough to eat.

Therefore, Feng Sen can only rely on squeezing the middle and lower classes and the old farmers with scissors, and concentrate on raising the big daddy. First raise such a big daddy, and then let the big daddy plunder, and use the plundered materials to feed back the middle and lower class. This is the only way out——

Unless Feng Sen is willing to give up all his persistence as a Han Chinese, but then, what is the difference between his existence and the locals?

Although the group of Han people is only an imagined community, it is Feng Sen's last value identification and driving force in this strange area.

If one day he completely loses these seemingly stupid insistences, it is probably the day when he becomes a warlord through and through.

For Feng Sen from modern times, these systems are very cruel, but for people of this era, at most, they are a bit bitter. What's more, Feng Sen has rarely opened a class transition path for the bottom people and even slaves - serving as a soldier and killing people, many slaves with low requirements are already satisfied.

"Just now, I also said that the business of being a soldier is a huge risk in exchange for huge benefits. Now that the benefits are paid, it's time to work hard." Feng Sen waved his hand, and a huge map appeared on the desktop. "I propose to use troops against Lune in mid-September. Who agrees and who opposes?"

Chapter 1 The Conception of the West Britannia Company

Feng Sen's proposal was unanimously approved by the captain and captain. The captain's pursuit of Feng Sen has always been his pursuit of his talents. In the countless previous decisions, it has been proved that Feng Sen is right most of the time. of.

For those engaged in high-risk industries, the most important thing is whether the leader can lead them to victory. It is hard to find a general for a monarch, and it is also hard for a junior officer to find a general.

After confirming the offensive against Lune, the whole of Hamburg became active. Craftsmen worked overtime to build grain carts and repair damaged weapons and saddles. About [-] spies disguised as caravans went to Lune to investigate the terrain and the situation.

Feng Sen decided to give a big gift to the Lune people on September [-]th.

And just at this time, Belvshka, who sailed for the fourth time, returned.

In two months, his fleet sailed to Britain four times in total, and has changed from the original three small ships to a large fleet of ten long ships.

In just two voyages, all Feng Sen's goods from the Vikings were converted into equivalent wool, woolen cloth and yew wood.

The income has already exceeded [-] deniers, especially yew, which is a good material for making bows, which Feng Sen needs very much. After the voyage later, the main goods produced in Hamburg are no longer looted materials such as amber or fur, but tiles, tiles, beer, fruits and beeswax produced in Hamburg itself.

Bervshka's fleet will first set off from Hamburg, head north to Denmark and Sweden, exchange commodities such as beer and fruits for local dried fish, furs, amber and iron ore, and then sail to Britain to dry them with furs. Scandinavian goods, such as fish, and Hamburg goods, such as tiles, were exchanged for British wool and cloth.

Feng Sen calculated that due to the climate conditions of the Scandinavian Peninsula, no matter how sour the fruit is, it is a sweet delicacy in their mouths, and the beer in Hamburg has not yet been sold in Hamburg, but it has been mad by the Norse people. Grab it, the iron ore that can be exchanged for a beer can even triple.

Due to the current internal factions in Britain and the numerous kingdoms, the Europa region is an economic stagnant pool, where no goods can be circulated, and Feng Sen's caravan injected a stream of living water into this stagnant pool.

The Kingdom of Northumbria and the Kingdom of Mercia in Britain are mainly based on the Christianity of the Father, and the most needed ceremonial holy utensils in the Church of the Father are candles, but there are no white wax worms in Europe, and their candles have nothing but grease Besides candles, the main source is beeswax.

Due to the low level of production, there is almost no beekeeping industry in Britain, which relies entirely on the resources of wild bees. The churches and monasteries of the Father Church, which have taken root in Britain for hundreds of years, are very willing to spend some money in exchange for beeswax and exquisite tiles.

The churches in Britain are different from the newly built monasteries in Germany. They have basically been cultivating in the local area for tens of hundreds of years. They even have a lot of copper coins and copper ingots left over from the Aum copper mine.

Now, one voyage by Belvshka can even bring more than four times the income, which can be said to be a huge profit. Feng Sen except for taking almost one-third of the money to give benefits to the Han people and the bannermen, the rest is invested in reproduction.

He found a few shipwrights from the North slaves, and asked those Slavic slave traders to buy (tied) and buy (frame) craftsmen who knew how to build ships, and began to prepare for a larger fleet.

After Belvshka brought back the copper ingots and iron ore, he explained to a few of his men and went to Zhongyongfang.

"What do you mean?" Feng Sen frowned, "You mean, the Frisians want me to pay protection money?"

"Yes, Friesland has established a market-like place on the Isle of Sheppey. It's nothing for us to go to Northbria to sell goods, but whenever we go to the Kingdom of Kent or the Kingdom of Mercia to sell goods, they will run out to stop us." Belvshka was a little worried.

"The last time we went to Mercia, the Frisians would deliberately damage our goods. This time, we sold the goods from a port further north, and ignored them. They sent a fleet and threatened us to hand over to them. Tax.

On our way back, we were even attacked by pirate ships. If it weren't for the power of your crossbow, I'm afraid we would have fallen into their hands, but even so, we still lost seven or eight good players and had to recruit again. "

"I'm a fucking bitch!" Feng Sen grimaced, and slammed the table hard, "I think they've eaten Tyr's guts. I didn't provoke them, but they dared to provoke me!"

"But my lord, we only have one big boat and nine small boats at our disposal, while they have seven big boats and dozens of small boats. We are no match for them." Belvshka said with a sad face.

"Afraid of what? I ask you, who are they? Are they east of the Lawworth River or west of the Lawworth River?"

"I don't know, I heard that there are people on both sides..."

Feng Sen supported the Futou on his head, and called to a servant: "Call Zen Master Zhenhui and Wang Sima."

Soon, the two came hand in hand, and Feng Sen didn't talk nonsense, but just asked Belvshka to narrate the matter quickly and briefly.

"Zhenhui, please write two letters for me, respectively to Earl Vollard of the Frisian Palace and Astolfo, Inspector of the Kingdom of Frisia."

Damn, don't you have eyesight, don't you think about who my brother is?

Feng Sen may not have much say in other places, but in Friesland, the two main officials and nobles are my friends, and one of them is even the second prince of the Kingdom of Mercia. He can't beat you economically, so he won't deliberately bombard you with the iron fist of feudalism?

"Just to say that I am deeply saddened to hear that the Abbey of the Father on the British Isles is suffering from a lack of building materials to build a sanctuary for worship and a shortage of candles for worship.

So I decided to sell them tiles and beeswax to support the cause of the heavenly father, but a small group of pagan Frisian businessmen with bad intentions dared to hinder the cause of our great god, for money... pious!I make some small requests to you two.

First, I hope to build a monastery and a road from the palace to the monastery in Friesland to meet the missionary needs of the priests and support the cause of our God.

Second, I hope that our Hamburg and Friesland regions will not charge each other tariffs, so as to facilitate the trade between the two sides.

Third, I hope that Afu can take the lead to reach a negotiation between me and the king of the Mercia Kingdom. I will lease a piece of land near London in Mercia and build a treaty port. We are willing to pay taxes to the King of Mercia and the local lords.

Fourth, I hope that the two can attack Frisian pirates, and the remaining Frisian 'serious businessmen', I propose, led by me, to jointly establish the West Britain Company and carry out trade activities with Britain.Well, that's all for the time being, Zen Master Zhenhui, please trouble you. "

Zhenhui clasped his hands together and drew a sign of the cross on his chest: "Here."

"Wang Sima, you also ask someone to send a message to Vidukind, telling him that Lao Tzu's caravan has been robbed, you go and tell your allies to calm down, otherwise I will rush thousands of miles to attack Friesland.

Then, regarding the question of his daughter and me, let me just say that unless His Royal Highness Charles is defeated and pushed back to Paderborn, he will never want to take my oregano out of his crotch.

If he wants to kill the detained caravan, he can kill him at will. However, if he dares to kill one of my people, I will kill ten of his people, no more and no less. I will do what I say.

Finally, the herbal trade, I will not do business with a traitor like him, it’s just some smugglers doing it, it has nothing to do with me, don’t ask me... Well, you can also ask him, is there any shortage? If there is a shortage of elite troops, I heard that a group of armed merchants may flee to them recently... You are not allowed to hire them!Absolutely not allowed, just write it like this, be a little more subtle, you know. "

"Here!" Wang Sima immediately replied with cupped hands.

After instructing the two generals, Feng Sen paced back and forth in the room for a while, then stood still: "Bervshka, don't go sailing in September for now. I have another role for your fleet."

"Follow your orders, my lord."

Chapter 1 and Four Start the War

In the fourth year of Jianzhong, September [-]th.

It was a clear morning, the August rain had stopped for a while, but the temperature had not yet dropped. Instead, the rain had cleared the stale air, and there was only the smell of rotting wood from the fence beside the road.

By the simple wharf of the Alster River, a phalanx of 500 people was standing quietly beside the raging river, accepting Feng Sen's review.

Among the 300 [-] men, there were [-] cavalrymen from the Han army. They wore black armor, mounted bows on their horses, and carried two long arrows. Five body armor, they are responsible for supervising the battle and breaking the enemy.

Among the remaining people, there were 210 two-banners in chain mail and holding longaxes and bucklers, 140 two-banners in leather armor and holding spears, 150 Viking slaves with hatchets and 200 Saxon and Karelian slaves.

In addition, there are 300 rebels, that is, hundreds of households who have not invested in the two banners and free militias hired from Frankish villages. They can only get money and trophies, but they cannot accumulate military merits and get promoted.

Among them, the soldiers of the two flags and the Viking slaves were the main force on the battlefield, while the 200 Saxon and Karelian slaves were responsible for cleaning the battlefield and capturing life.

Therefore, Feng Sen's 300 4000 people actually only have [-] combat strength at most, but considering that the opposite Lüne has neither a city wall nor a fortress, the entire tribe only has [-] people, such an army is more than enough .

In fact, in this era of tribal fights, the two sides often add up to 1000 people, and many of them are the kind who look at the farmers and soldiers who are responsible for waving the flag and running away as soon as the battle is broken.

And Feng Sen's expeditionary army is a down-to-earth thousand soldiers who can fight and dare to fight.

The ones that Feng Sen fought in Mount Santer are all elite peasants and soldiers. They have won a battle once and have blood on their hands. This is already better than most of the peasants and soldiers. If Vidukind can keep these soldiers, in time, it might not be a fighting force. It is a pity that most of them died in Weldon.

Thinking about it this way, Feng Sen gradually began to understand Charlemagne's massacre.

You know, most of this group of elite farmers and soldiers have now become Feng Sen's Saxon bannerman infantry. Looking at their combat effectiveness and fighting will now, maybe Charlie has this consideration.

After settling his mind, Feng Sen rode to the front of the formation and inspected the straightened soldiers.

"Everyone, two days ago, our caravan from Hamburg went to Lüne to trade. I went there for friendly business, but I never thought that they would rob our caravan and take away our goods. Only Only five people fled back, and the remaining seven people are missing!" Feng Sen pulled the rein and shouted loudly to the soldiers.

"I asked them for it, but they said that they had never seen the caravan, nor did they rob the goods. You know, our people saw their robbing with their own eyes, but now they don't recognize it. Is there still a king's law? Is there still a law?

good!If you don't pay it, let's get it by ourselves and seek justice by ourselves!Originally, they betrayed King Charles and defected to the Uda rebels in the south. I don't want to talk to them, but now they dare to touch our people?Rob our goods?Do you agree or not! "

"No!" The soldiers of the two flags shouted one after another, and the Vikings didn't know what they were talking about due to language barriers. They only knew that as long as they could win this battle, they could regain their freedom or establish a New flags - Norse or Viking flags, to rescue even fellow sufferers.

"Do you know what we are going to do here?"

"Grab money, grab food, grab women!" the Saxon soldiers who followed Feng Sen to loot Denmark subconsciously shouted.

"This is just incidental." Feng Sen shouted in Saxon, "Our goal is to regain the lost ground and avenge our hatred!"

"Recover the lost ground, revenge!" The three hundred Xuanjia cavalry behind them roared in Chinese in unison.

Although the Saxon soldiers didn't know the meaning of the two sentences, they could guess what Feng Sen meant by revenge and regaining lost ground, so they also shouted in distorted accents:

"Recover the lost ground, revenge and revenge!"

"Recover the lost ground, revenge and revenge!"

Although the Viking slaves didn't know what the people around them were shouting, they couldn't help but let out battle roars and raised their hatchets when they heard the roaring waves around them.

"Nanyue killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and slaughtered the Nine Counties. King Wan killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and Beique of Touxian. North Korea killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and they were killed immediately." Seeing the scene in front of him, Wang Sima couldn't help muttering.

However, compared to Wang Sima, Feng Sen didn't have so many ideas. His excuse for declaring war, first, was to define Lune's land as lost land. In this way, Feng Sen's action was to fight for Charlie, not to attack his colleagues. It was to take back the territory that belonged to me, not to invade maliciously.

But in fact, the Frankish army has never conquered the Lune area, so the so-called "lost land" is open to discussion, but Feng Sen also has reason to say that when Charlie conquered Saxony before, you Lune also swore allegiance, right? Then your land is part of the Frankish Kingdom.

Lune, you have joined the Uda rebels (you can have them), then you are a rebel. Isn't it a loss of land that your rebels occupied the land of the Frankish Kingdom?Then if I hit you, I will regain the lost ground and have no moral loss.

Second, the so-called revenge is to establish organizational identity. At this time, people’s identification with the organization is nothing more than two points:

First, whether it can lead them to gain benefits, and second, whether it can shelter them.

The revenge proposed by Feng Sen is to express that only I can kill my people. If you dare to kill, no matter how much you pay, I will take revenge!

The enemy is the best tool to unite the inside.

"In this battle, decapitate one level, slaves are promoted to coats, auxiliary soldiers are promoted to soldiers, beheaded soldiers of two ranks are transferred to small banners, five merits are accumulated and coats are transferred to bannermen, bannermen accumulate two merits to make up ten households, and three merits Make up a hundred households, and accumulate five merits to be promoted to a Han with a foreign surname!"

"There are not only bannermen, but also bandages and slaves. My promise to you is that if five people are captured alive, the slaves will be promoted to coats, and if ten people are captured alive, the coats will raise the flag."

"As for the Viking warriors, my promise to you is that if you win this battle, if you win the battle, you will raise the flag if you have meritorious service, and if you have no merit, you will be rewarded with a coat of arms.

"I always do what I say, this trip to Lune is to take their heads in exchange for your future! Kill the future! Kill his head and roll, kill him like a tiger!"

"kill!"

"kill!!"

"kill!!!"

"Let's go!" Feng Sen picked up the whip and pointed in the direction of Lune.

Driven by 1000 cavalry, the [-]-man army formed a long line, crossed the solid wooden bridge over the Alster River, and ran towards Lune in the south.

Chapter 1 Badovic, the First Battle
