prince of europe in quintiles

"Don't be in a hurry to use your Longinus gun to shoot your happy bullets at those suburban warblers. Young man, you have not experienced the pain of being caught by those women. I don't know how many people fell down because of illegitimate children. On the way forward." Madam Marianne touched Huo Teng's face and snickered, "Not to mention, I can see that you and the countess have mutual affection, which is not a problem in itself, but it has nothing to do with those The same people on the issue of illegitimate children, another problem, "

Huo Teng was a little embarrassed.

Huo Teng actually understood the two stalks Marianne said.

The so-called spear of Longinus actually alludes to the wound that this spear once penetrated through Jesus, and the wound left behind is called the stigmata.But this is not a problem.The problem is that in the Middle Ages, both the Christian church and popular literature generally painted this stigmata as the shape of female genitalia.Moreover, most of the saints who left stigmata in the Middle Ages were women, which formed a strange culture.That is derived from the stigmata, comparing men and women to the spear of Longinus and the stigmata, and then extending to... indescribable things.

A nun once said that she dreamed of the angel Michael and repeatedly pierced herself with the holy spear.

Obviously, this is a sexual dream under the Christian culture.Only those who live in this atmosphere understand the meaning.

So what Marianne meant was, you kid, don't mess around with flowers and grass when you are young and strong, it is easy to cause accidents.

But it's easy to focus on the issue of illegitimate children.This is a very mundane topic.

People who can come to Taiwan because of illegitimate children must not be rich and powerful.For example, the dignitaries in Normandy, even the bishop himself had more than one wife, let alone an illegitimate child.

The downfall of the rich and powerful because of illegitimate children, the main problem must not be only illegitimate children.The illegitimate child is just a fuse.

So, talking, Marianne pulled out a printed bauble.

It seemed that two small teeth were covered with silver.

"When you impale a woman with your Lance of Longinus, remember to hold it in your hand. I have heard it said that it will never fail."

Although people in the Middle Ages were under the rule of Christianity, the ignorance and backwardness of culture and society led people to exist in a kind of stupid superstition.

Just like this thing.

It is believed that when you wrap the teeth of a 6- or 7-year-old child in gold or silver and hold them in your hand during sex, it can effectively prevent pregnancy.

Mysterious gadgets like these have never ceased to be popular in the Middle Ages.

"let me try."

After much deliberation, Hortense still took the things.

It's not superstition, mainly because this thing is made of real money.

"By the way, why did you tell me this?" Huo Teng asked strangely.

Marianne pointed to her ankles, and said in a low voice, "Which woman leaves a man's handprint on her ankles when she wears a skirt?"

Huo Teng was embarrassed for a moment.

……

After returning from the business in Göttingenburg, Connorsa also knew that the hero should not be treated badly. She entrusted the businessman to collect the purchased materials and people, and distributed them to Huo Teng.

Especially the two blacksmiths, who came to the Free City of Göttingen, could help a lot.

In the evening, Jeffrey, who was avoiding the limelight, took advantage of the night to sneak into Liberty City with the chivalrous concealers.

"Why are you back? What happened?" Huo Teng hurriedly got up.

Jeffrey held a leather bag and said calmly: "In the forest in the southeast, there are many unusual robbers. I suspect that they may be the advance team of the enemy!"

Chapter 23 The Missing Counterweight Catapult

"What's unusual?"

Huo Teng couldn't help being curious.

Jeffrey patted his chest and said: "I guarantee my credibility, they are weird. Most of these guys are robber knights, and they fought with ease, and even ransacked a border castle in groups! This is what ordinary robbers can do. What happened?"

Ransack the castle in horror!

Huo Teng couldn't help taking a breath.

Being a robber and looting the castle seem to be a progressive relationship, but in fact they are completely different and impossible.

The castles of the knights, even if they are civil castles, are an insurmountable moat for robbers who have no ability to attack the city.A simple 3-meter-high city wall, coupled with seven or eight archers, can make dozens of robbers return home without feathers.This is the support of the medieval castle economic system.

So, if bandits have the ability to systematically rob castles, they are no longer bandits, but enemy troops.Even if the most relaxed plan is just a group of robber knights passing by, it is still an elite and powerful knight army.

But Huo Teng, where can I find the air transport to suppress the people of Gwangju? 1

"Thank you for your report. Jeffrey, go to Göttingenburg and make it clear to the Countess." After speaking, Huo Teng blinked his eyes, "By the way, you can prove your strength. I can assure her, You deserve a fief."

Jeffrey's face flushed with excitement, he kneeled down in prayer for Huo Teng gratefully, and then hurried out.

Having been a robber knight for so many years, Geoffrey finally had a chance to acquire the fiefdom.

As for his changes after being sealed, Huo Teng believes that the system will not let him suffer.There is even some vague expectation, with the existence of elite affairs officers, why can't there be elite generals?

……

"Together, pull!"

And by the river in the small town, the residents are working together to erect a large waterwheel, which will be placed on the river as a source of power for the mill.

This can be regarded as a small innovation of Huo Teng.

As an important building that troubles the lives of residents and affects the level of food, the existence and size of mills all affect the evolution of local civilization.As early as the 1st century BC, the Romans were grinding flour in waterwheel mills.However, the tragic medieval Western Europe, while inheriting many cultures from Rome, stagnated in basic technology.Not only did the watermill mill evolve little, but many places went back directly to the donkey mill.

Huo Teng, on the other hand, used his only engineering knowledge to come up with a design for manually stepping on the pedals, so as to avoid the situation where the water volume was too small and the mill would be scrapped.This is the pursuit of stability. The later steam engine also spent great effort on solving the large and small fluctuations of water.

The trade master Greya, the merchant girl in a gray skirt, is now wearing a headscarf, directing the citizens to chant with a bright smile.

When Huo Teng approached with a worried face, he could still hear her chanting: "The mill donates, the mill donates..."

Huo Teng couldn't help smiling.

The mill tax is known as the mill tax.

When every farmer wants to grind his wheat into flour, he has to pay a certain tax here, a few copper coins, and even keep a part of it.But don't underestimate this part, under the circumstances, every mill is a cash cow, so that nobles will prohibit farmers from building mills privately.

[Mill (Level 1): Donate +1 gold coin to the mill to increase trade income and increase citizen happiness. 】

When the mill is completed, the system pops up a prompt.

It even comes with a message: the exploration of water power will make further changes to the mill.

"Yup!"

Looking at the crude mill, Huo Teng suddenly thought of something.

If the wooden wheels and pedals used in mills are placed on the common human trebuchet, that is, the primitive trebuchet in which a bunch of people piled up to pull the rope, what wonderful chemical reaction will it produce?

The original trebuchet requires a dozen to hundreds of people to pull the rope. The thrown stone bombs are not only light in weight, but also hit very close.

Otherwise, how could there be so many difficult civil castles?In modern times, a civil fortress can be knocked down by a car.

If Huo Teng can transform a large trebuchet using a mechanical structure, only two people can complete the operation, and throw heavy and far-reaching stone bombs, then in the small snail dojo in Göttingen, it would be the same. Absolute killer.

The mechanical structure of the mill, like the suspension bridge and the jack gate of the city gate, is very common and easy to modify.

Huo Teng suddenly lifted Greya high: "You are really my lucky star!"

Greya was shy, but was put on the ground by Huo Teng, got up and chased after him, and saw that he was already lying on the wooden wheel to study the mechanical structure, which was very frustrating.

"Big fool!"

But having said that, Greya is also researching what can be sold in this territory recently.

The impoverished Liberty City seems to have only one condition: convenient transportation.This is really a pain that even the master trader can't do anything about.

However, she was also a master of trade, and Greya soon discovered that there were traces of bee swarms in the forest next to the land on the bank of the Duck Pond.If you can learn how to domesticate bees and produce honey on a regular basis, you don't have to think about specialties in Liberty City.The value of honey, what kind of cloth and wood are hanged.

In Europe, where there is no sugar cane and no understanding of beet rolling, if you want to obtain natural sugar and sweetness, you can only choose luxury honey.

Greya has not announced this secret yet.

She wants to see where Huo Teng can go.

On the other side, Huo Teng summoned several carpenters.

"If a noose is added to the trebuchet, will winding it save a lot of manpower?" Huo Teng asked curiously.

The carpenters called the blacksmith, and a group of inexperienced craftsmen guessed and gave an estimated answer: "Probably it can save most of the manpower for pulling the rope. But the wood can't be bent too much, you just added it." A noose and a stone can't be thrown far."

Craftsmen believe that how far a stone can fly is constant, so don't think about it, Lord.

But Huo Teng always felt that something was wrong.

If manpower can be saved by winding the string with a noose, then when launching, is there any way to make it shoot farther and be more powerful?

After thinking for a long time, Huo Teng still had no choice.

He tried hooking the projectile arm with a noose, but it didn't work.Then, Huo Teng thought of the rope.

Although the characteristics of wood limit the performance of the Huo Teng trebuchet, the use of ropes to tie the projectile arm to form a torsion structure, and then assisted by a noose, enhances the combat effectiveness of this trebuchet to a certain extent.

He put wheels on the cannon cart and named the catapult "Hotten Cannon Chariot".

In fact, this is an improved version of the torsion trebuchet of the Roman Empire.

[Discover a new war machine: Huo Teng Cannon Cart.Send reward: a random copy of architectural drawings]

The system recognized Huo Teng's interesting modification and sent a reward.

But in fact, what Huo Teng didn't know was that if he could apply the lever principle he learned in junior high school to this trebuchet, it would become a deadly weapon in the Middle Ages. The counterweight trebuchet brought by the Mongols was also called Back to the cannon.

Chapter 24 Enforcement power is the last word

At present, Huo Teng has two teams of Spearmen, one team of Peasant Bowmen, one team of Captain Archers, three teams of Zealots, and elite chivalrous concealers. Together, these troops have a total of 300 people. With a population of just over a hundred, it is simply impossible to support them.At present, including the tax bonus of the system building, and the estimated next trade fee, it only looks like four or five gold coins a month, which is not even enough for the monthly salary of a longbowman.

Fortunately, after the baptism of the rebellion and the looting of the Marian Manor and the Göttingen Abbey, Huo Teng still has about [-] gold coins in his hands, which is enough to last for a long time.

Even so, there is a lack of food in the territory, and the newly reclaimed farmland by the river is actually more of a masturbation.

In autumn and winter, the few merchants closed down collectively, and when everyone's cats spent the winter at home, Huo Teng didn't even have a place to buy food.

Therefore, the wicked Huo Teng began to plan secretly, where to store the whole grain for the winter.

By the way, Huo Teng also paid for the opportunity to invent the improved torque head.

[Peasant Army Camp: What can I say?It is impossible for you to expect a group of peasants to fight the world for you, so you have to train them to make a living like this.Building conditions: 5 gold coins, one week.Available for recruitment: Peasant Spearmen, Peasant Archers, Peasant Infantry, Peasant Mounted Archers. 】1

Very awkward building.

This peasant barracks is not marked with a level, which proves that it is a special building and cannot be upgraded.Although there are many types of troops recruited, if you look closely, they are all old farmers.I count on them to be the backbone, I am afraid that they will not be able to write if they are dead.

But without them, there would always be something missing in this battle.

Huo Teng had no choice but to spend money and time to let the barracks train in Liberty City.

In addition, Huo Teng also discovered that the experience of making war machine cannons is only among the craftsmen, but if they want another group of people to make them, they need to be retrained.

If you want sustainable recruitment, you have to build a war workshop, but you don't have blueprints and don't know how to do it, so you have to do nothing.

Two days later, after making the Huo Teng cannon carriage and full of confidence in the war, Amelia brought the farmers of Bowendeng Village to send a new batch of supplies.

"Amelia, tell me, what if I want to make my own coins?"

Huo Teng couldn't help feeling itchy when he thought of the coinage templates he had snatched from the monastery.

"Shh, do we have mines? How can we have this ability?" Amelia thought that the uncle might want to mint coins because he was too drunk.

There must be mines.

Huo Teng touched his chin.If I remember correctly, there should be copper mines in the mountains over Millhouse.

Therefore, the plan to defeat Schmalen added another necessity.

Huo Teng made a schedule for himself.

In the short term, he needs to solve the food crisis in the territory, and also deal with Dean Andreas sent by the church.

In the mid-term, Shimalun had to be killed, and Connorsa officially appointed him as the palace minister to control the government affairs of the entire territory.

But what's wrong?

……

Half a month after the war, a horrific rape occurred in Huo Teng's territory.

An old man from Bowendeng Village and a wandering woman had sex at the gate of the city.

The problem is, this wandering woman's intelligence is not normal, and she has been brought home by a businessman's family and married to an equally stupid son.

So, everyone clamored and wanted to go to Huo Teng and ask Huo Teng to give him a trial.

To put it simply, it is to convene a court.
