prince of europe in quintiles

A few days later, when Huo Teng learned that King Conrad's appointment to him was on the way, the communication with the fief nobles also made rapid progress.

It's not that the fiefs don't want to serve, but they are afraid of overdue service and over-recruitment, which makes them financially unbearable and miserable.That's why Huo Teng sent out a signal of relaxation. Many squires who were not fiefs before but had similar status, and even villages that expressed their allegiance to Huo Teng, were willing to draw up a more reasonable value.

In the end, after excluding the southern part of Kassel, which is still struggling to rebuild, Horten got such a data.

"There are 322 knights in the fief, but most of them are relatively poor, and the rate of dispatching troops is not high; villages, towns and other real estates also have a similar amount, which can provide a lot of food and grass for the population; two monasteries can provide more warriors, and they can Collect two knights. There are also some bandits, fringe villages and hunters, and they will be combined at the end."

"According to the average calculation that a knight provides two sergeants and four archers, if you don't recruit direct troops, you can call up more than 2000 soldiers with training foundation."

Morris praised Huo Teng: "You can already be called a relatively powerful prince. After all, the empire mobilized thousands of troops for expeditions to foreign lands."

Huo Teng couldn't help being happy.

It is an exaggeration to say that he is already one-fifth of the emperor.

Chapter 240 God also uses Tianyi 3G

On the fourth day of August in the summer of AD 1000, the downpour really came as predicted.

The prevailing westerly wind blowing from the Atlantic Ocean is rich in water vapor. After traveling recklessly through the flat and endless West Frankish Plain with few ups and downs, the rainwater he has already accumulated seems to have reached the last step on the road of love. The loving lunatic who can't help but love when the arrow is on the string, crazily tilts the love represented by her rainwater on the mountains of central Germany, without any consideration of her actual tolerance limit.

Huo Teng's house was built close to the city wall. He was standing on the second floor. The inner windows were fixed and sealed, and only one corner could be opened. Even so, wildly flying water splashes kept jumping in through the gaps and wet him. desk case.

Looking at the rattling window sill, he knew that he would not be able to work today, so he could only get up and remove the window frame, and cursed while closing the window: "In this world, good predictions are always like farting, and bad predictions are never afraid of not being fulfilled."

A good prophecy was a prayer delivered by Magdeburg Archbishop Tagino during the weekend Mass on July 7. He said: "Although the situation is dangerous and the wind and rain are precarious, I believe that under the blessing of God, all people will be safe. can get through."

It was as if he hadn’t said anything, as if what he said here and here was in line with Tajino’s image of a good old man despite his great reputation.

But if just talking nonsense can achieve world peace, then Huo Teng is willing to say it 100 million times a year.

But it didn't work, so the bad prophecy was fulfilled.

Precarious, not only refers to the pouring storm, but also the synthesis of a series of crises in the Marquis of Meissen.

At that time, Mistress Swanishild broke with her sons. She found that her military power had been seized by her children in Meissenia, so she fled westward to Merseburg under the Baroness of Bernburg. That was the birthplace of the Meissen family, backed by Bernburg and Magdeburg behind Bernburg, which is equivalent to back-to-back with brothers; after his children seized power and drove away their father, they quarreled and split.

Meissenia is originally a suture monster of multiple territories, and it is the sum of border domains such as Meissenia, Zeitz, Merseburg, and Lusania.So the eldest brother occupied Meissenia, the second brother ran to Lusania, and the third brother went to Zeitz, causing a mess.

Outside, the Grand Duke of Poland officially announced on July 7 that the Kingdom of Poland is responsible for the guardianship of the Meissen region. His power comes from the entrustment of the previous emperor Otto III. He is a "Friend of the Emperor" and was personally appointed by Otto III. King of Poland.At the same time, he made a marriage contract with Guntherin, the younger brother of the dead Eckard I, and included Eckard's little daughter in the account.

According to the news spread in private, after Guntherin became Marquis of Meissen, he had to compensate King Lusania of Poland.

The so-called Lusania refers to the upper half of the Great Meissen.There are Slavs everywhere.But compared to Poland, where many places are still barren areas, it is rich enough.

In other words, Grand Duke Boleslav not only considered himself a part of the empire, but also felt that as the minister of the border, he had an inescapable responsibility for the country.

Similar to the king of Xixia, who was appointed by the Liao Dynasty, he instructed the White Tartar Khan and invaded secretly.

This was originally a border dispute, but if you look at it in history, this is the first time since Conrad ascended the throne that the inheritance of a domestic territory has encountered foreign interference and invasion, that is, the first time it has fallen into the tragedy of war.It was a great humiliation to the Romanian Emperor.

What's more, after more than a year since Conrad's ascension to the throne, he still failed to negotiate with the Holy See about his enthronement. The various principled conditions and the obstruction of the Lombard Kingdom in the middle can be said to be humiliating and humiliating to the extreme.

The blow to the king was naturally extremely huge.

On the third day of August, after Conrad learned the news from the Duke of Bavaria as quickly as possible, he also publicly published a letter of credence reprimanding Boleslav for his evil deeds in Konstanzburg, and appointed Xiaoqiang in the middle, Earl of the Court of Göttingen Horten Bowenden was ordered to lead the army to solve the problem of the Marquis of Meissen.

With the windows closed, the light in the room dimmed.

Huo Teng was angry, and when he saw the documents on the table, he became even angrier.

"Damn Conrad, come to Göttingen if you have the ability, and see if I kill you or not!"

He boasted a few days ago, one-fifth of the emperor?

Without the full support of the local dignitaries, the emperor didn't even have a home. He was just a beggar who led Caesar's court to tour the country for free whoring and begging everywhere.

Really, Horten sometimes thinks so.

Huo Teng began to regret, why didn't he cheat Conrad when he used the king to maneuver and establish his own territory?He even let the grandson take down Swabia after finishing the books, and helped the Luxembourg family elect the Duke of Bavaria, which can be regarded as helping Conrad secure the throne of the king.

As a minister of Dingding, Huo Teng received the treatment of being sent to Meissen as a substitute for the dead ghost.

In this era when bloodlines determine who is superior, Huo Teng really suffered a great loss from his grandfather, a commoner tailor.

At this time, Goldilocks quietly opened the door: "My... father wrote a letter, he fully supports you to go to Meissen, and even allows you to recruit the Saxon army to go there."

"He farts. He just wants to see me go to die. He wants to see me beaten to death in the Elbe River by the Grand Duke of Poland. This is a support for me other than help." Huo Teng said angrily, of course he did not forget to put the little Huang Li held her arms in her arms, "But if you are willing to give me some other help, I will..."

Goldiu hurriedly pushed Huo Teng away, and escaped like a frightened cat.

Now Huo Teng has won.

His strong body makes Little Oriole unstoppable, and she falls into an absolute disadvantage in the battle of love and desire in the bed.

Having said that, Huo Teng seems to understand the desires of those lolicons, the young and firm body, the cute and delicate body, and the extremely tight judo. The combination of these characteristics has also made Huo Teng quite for enjoyment.

Kang Nuosha was jealous, but she was just pregnant, so she obviously couldn't try to have sex with Huo Teng.

All in all, this tiny family is finally stabilizing.

Looking back, Huo Teng also had to face reality.

He opened his window again, looking worried at the pouring rain.

Compared with Meissen, which is hundreds of miles away, Huo Teng should first consider how to deal with the heavy rain.

"Close all docks... widen the tributary river as much as possible, and dig artificial canals to accommodate the water so that it can return to the river..." Huo Teng asked himself that he had reached a high level of German conscience in flood control.

However, people are not as good as heaven, and the heavy rain for several days still caused the destruction of several villages. Two fief knights died suddenly on the way leading the people to hide from the rain.Houses that could not last for a long time gradually collapsed, and the roads were muddy.Fortunately, the arable land was fine.

Standing up and picking up the poncho, Huo Teng, wearing the original medieval poncho, rode out in a hurry with a few attendants, and went to the surrounding river to check the rising speed of the river.

"As long as the river does not cross the bank, Göttingen's harvest and safety can be guaranteed."

Huo Teng comforted the worried people in this way.

Although the Leine River at the foot has swelled to less than a foot from the river bank.

At this moment, in the face of natural disasters, Huo Teng can only stand with the people and pray to God, you fucking send angels down to stop the rain.

God heard Horten's call.

But God's reward is that this heavy rain washed all the bandits, beastman tribes and green skins in Göttingen, Notheim, Kassel, Eschwege, Harz Mountains and other areas.

In a river, it is common to see dozens or even hundreds of Beastman remains.

Thanks to God's blessing, Huo Teng's rule was temporarily cleared, and the banditry disappeared.

"What kind of God's blessing is this? What happened last year was only resolved this year. Is God still using Tianyi 3G?"

Huo Teng began to worry.

The delay between God and man will not be a full year, will it? 1

What if next year he stopped the rain and a drought came?

Chapter 240 The Second Arrow of Stinging Insects

Last year, the disaster of the Beastmen, which was scolded countless times, was unexpectedly engulfed by a heavy rain.

The torrential rain that has been scolded countless times this year will not directly turn into a severe drought that will permeate the whole country next year, and directly dry Huo Teng into dried meat, right?

In the face of natural disasters, any life seems so powerless.

Huo Teng was really worried.According to the principle of alternating drought and flood, this is not impossible.

The canal not only needs to be dug, but also needs to be greatly dug.Still have to try to dig a well, must not fall on the drought.

That night, Huo Teng was alone, unable to sleep.

Jones is taking care of the child, Amelia has been pregnant for several months, and Conosha is also nursing, and the only one, Gaudius, is avoiding Huo Teng, trying to practice himself and stick to the God-given Chastity concept.

In other words, did God really say such a thing as keeping chastity?God shouldn't care what position you use, Dun Lun is right.

At three o'clock in the morning of the next day, the sun had not yet appeared, and the familiar morning class of chanting did not sound in the monastery. Because Huo Teng himself had suffered from getting up at two o'clock in the morning, he specially arranged for the priests of the monastery to get up at five o'clock in the morning for the morning class .

Huo Teng woke up unexpectedly at this moment.

He was very anxious, and even started to repeatedly find out what cards he had.He read and reread his skills and traits, trying to find where he could squeeze more.

He has martial skills that enhance personal combat, as well as traits that increase duel ability. He can make soldiers run faster, recruit cheaper, and have higher morale. He can ambush and reduce wage costs. He can even recruit two troops at the same time. .It is these cumulative elements that make Huo Teng's army eat less, spend less, have stronger combat effectiveness, and are more resistant to hard battles.

But with all these superimposed, Huo Teng still failed to find the point of accumulating a qualitative change.

What kind of point can break through the chaos of the Meissen feudal kingdom?

Huo Teng, who kept thinking like this, kept wandering around the castle in the morning.

The torrential rain was ringing, and the water flowed continuously along the city wall, even washing out the excrement channel of the toilet located on the edge of the castle.

……

In the forest, a group of dozens of cavalry in light mail armor walked through the robber's den with bows and spears on their backs.

"Chivalrous concealer!"

Jeffrey's team has long been famous in the Harz Mountains. Those people who were forced to degenerate from robbers to villagers were worried about the heavy rain for days, while looking up at Jeffrey's gallop in fear.

Sir Geoffrey, who was sitting on the horse, only showed a bit of unfamiliar banditry among the mountain bandits. He asked his subordinates slightly politely: "The nobles of Thuringia are gathering?"

"That's right. In Weimar, Erfurt, in most places in the Principality of Thuringia, and even in the Millhouse Kingdom that you managed on your behalf, there are nobles who fulfill their feudal obligations and prepare their own soldiers and horses to fight in the heavy rain. I went to Merseburg. I can't understand why I have to walk through it in the rain."

The subordinate's words made Sir Geoffrey's pigtails stand up in fright.

"There is no one in Thuringia. Isn't the most famous Eckard dead? His father didn't crawl out of the cemetery either."

His hands were sweating from anxiety, and the current situation had surpassed the limit that Jeffrey could think about.

The Duchy of Thuringia, after the death of Eckard I, who was the only one qualified to command many nobles, should have been leaderless.Why did they gather when Göttingen took advantage of the situation to move eastward and swallowed the rich Duchy of Thuringia, with a population of 10, dozens of rich towns, and dozens of fortresses?

Jeffrey clearly remembers hearing Horten describe the future when he was in Göttingen.

Göttingen, to develop west and north.

To take Westphalia, to take Anglia, to devour the western half of the Duchy of Saxony, to eat all the trade of the lower Rhine, to control the iron there, the coal there, every silver coin there .

For a time he thought that he was guarding the Hartz Mountains, and there was no hope.

But when the Duchy of Thuringia had no leader, he had the opportunity to expand the territory for Horten.However, the current trend may even force him to withdraw from Harz Mountain.

Thinking of the dozens of catties of gold and silver and thousands of baskets of brass that were just prepared this year, but temporarily staying in the Harz Mountain Fortress due to the heavy rain, Jeffrey's heart was burning with anxiety.

God of dog days, why is it raining on you?Can't control the prostate, have you reached the age of the old man who pees everywhere?

Jeffrey, who was panicked to death, hurriedly sent dozens of spies to infiltrate the team of the Duchy of Thuringia to find out what happened.

And in this team, there is also the Earl of Weimar, Arendser, who quickly discovered Jeffrey's staff.

"Hmm... Let's call Jeffrey together? He is also a member of our Thuringia. How about not helping Thuringia at this time?"

Apparently out of timidity, Arendser and many Thuringian nobles collectively believed that the more people the better.

For this reason, they even called Viscount Stadroda in the southern mountains.

After some understanding, Jeffrey learned the truth.

It turned out that their target was the third son of the already torn Eckard family, the second male heir Eckard II.He was the son of Swanishird and Eckard, but it was this son who had marched westward and besieged Merseburg.Once the home of Merseburg is conquered, he can engulf the nearby knights and soldiers, and then march westward to occupy Thuringia.

The Thuringians, though always divided, did not like little Eckard.

So under the call of Duke Bernard, the Thuringians gathered and went to Merseburg to defend the Swanigirde, which they also disliked but could accept, was the mother of Eckard II.

After hearing all this, Jeffrey only felt that the nobles were so magical.

The wife killed the husband, the son killed the mother, and wished to kill the whole family.

But he soon agreed to join Thuringia, leading 60 knights, 500 robbers, and [-] archers.Yu Ji, his fiefdom and management are in Thuringia, and Yu Guo, he wants to inquire about news for Huo Teng.

This noisy team of six to seven thousand people gathered in the small town of Apolda on the east side of Thuringia, and then quickly marched towards Merseburg on the border between Thuringia and Meissen.

The reason why little Eckard ran so fast was because his fief was on the edge of Merseburg.

On the east side of Merseburg, there is a territory called Qiutizgao, or Qiutiz County, and on the south side of Qiutiz County is the Earl of Toyshane. Both places are Eckard The fiefdom of II.He ran so fast that he also captured Zeitzburg on the southeast side of Teutschein.

As a result, a big uncle country was formed, with a population of tens of thousands and thousands of troops.

Although the ability to govern the country is not good, the ability to seize power is first-rate.

It was the unlucky Riehausen who was sent by the Saxon side to assist Swanighildr.His half-sea dragon has been full recently and is finally fit for battle.

But after Riehausen arrived in Merseburg, nothing happened.

What he is facing is the whole of Thuringia, a messy army of about 8000 people in total, hundreds of noble banners, and more than half of them may have difficulty communicating with him. What kind of devil is this? army?
