prince of europe in quintiles

Husband Essen Schmidt was appointed by Horten as the head of the Göttingen Blacksmiths' Union.But on the surface, he was the head blacksmith in Göttingen, a model craftsman who was very close to Huo Teng, but in fact he was secretly responsible for Huo Teng's assassination.

It's just that the Schmidts were too nimble, and Huo Teng obviously asked the couple to scare Eckard. Who knew that the excessive force scared the underworld.This led to a series of subsequent disputes.

"Count, it's not our fault. Who doesn't know about the Horten scythe you created? From the new heavy pear to the high-efficiency scythe, everyone below praises you. It's just that we made more than 100 of them... and they can be sold There are less than 50 pieces. Even if the price is lowered to one and a half silver dinars, few people can afford it.”

So it's still the simplest question. The people are really poor and don't have so many needs.

In the eyes of the poorest people, there is no need to buy tools for things that can be done with their own bodies and time.Buying tools is so expensive, can't you pay less debt and work more?

Huo Teng couldn't help clutching his chin in thought.

"The people of Göttingen are really poor."

Behind them, the Schmidts looked left and right, showing contemptuous expressions.

Isn't it all Mr. Huo Teng who scraped the ground and cut it clean, and everyone is burdened with huge debts?Which of the new friends of the Schmidts is not carrying a butt of debts, supporting relatives to go to the border to reclaim wasteland and establish fiefdoms.

In fact, Huo Teng also knew.

Because of the battle with the Rumer River in Saxony last year, the chrysanthemums that were fought would burst, and Göttingen's plan for a year's funds would quickly bottom out.For this reason, Huo Teng started a large-scale search for the wealth of his subordinates, and absorbed all the floating wealth in the territory into the treasury by purchasing fiefdoms.

Well now, Huo Teng is so rich that if his subordinates dig out the family coffers, even a mouse can starve to death.

Moreover, Huo Teng had promised his subordinates that they would never be recruited to the battlefield this year, which could be regarded as exempt from this year's shield tax, so they all rushed to the new fiefdom.

"Oh, fortunately, I have both hands ready."

Huo Teng scratched the air with his hand, he was already recruiting heavily armed sergeants in advance.These wealthy landlords, and even the valuable troops formed by the powerful class, can only be recruited by people who actually exist.There are also those infantry spear regiments, which require human resources from squires and farmers.

"You two think about it carefully, and find a way to let the farmers use my samarium knife. If you can't think of it, you are not allowed to leave." Huo Teng had no choice but to suppress the task to the bottom.

The scalps of the Schmidts were numb, and his wife, Bu Mo, rolled her eyes and pulled the passing Mrs. Oriole over.

"What are you doing? Madam Bumo, I'm going out to visit the people today..."

Gottiu, who was wearing a small hat, was pushed in front of Huo Teng by Bu Mo, and Schmidt hurriedly pleaded: "Madam, Da Madam is not meddling in raising a baby now, you have many ideas, and you can give the Earl a good idea."

"what?"

Essen talked quickly, told everything, and turned the child's rare eyes in circles.

Gottis Diu pulled his hat, stomped his little foot, and simply shouted: "Then... if it doesn't work, you can tell those rich people that whoever doesn't buy it will be arrested next year and be a soldier. Buy it home."

"Nonsense, what is this... a good idea."

Huo Teng was suddenly happy.

That's right, if they ask themselves for a loan, they have to buy back the samarium knife.

I am the patriarch of Göttingen, and everyone has to listen to their own words.

Soon, the rich and powerful in Göttingen were scolded.

"This little vampire, why does he want us to spend money again?"

"This samarium knife is good. It's easy and convenient to cut wheat, but we don't have the money to buy it."

They huddled together and squatted at the intersection of the east and west ends of Göttingen Castle and Göttingen Free City, taunting Huo Teng for scraping money and scratching the ground without naming names.

It was also in this crowd that an out-of-town businessman with an accent obviously different from that of the locals took a look and ran eastward with his small shelf on his shoulder.

Of course, there are still people who understand.

After everyone scolded for half an afternoon, someone came out to smooth things over: "According to me, the earl has his own plan. This samarium knife harvests wheat very quickly. I think the battle with little Eckard will be more or less a surprise attack."

It's a pity that the spy who ran away didn't hear it.

This is the war in the Middle Ages. Spring plowing cannot be fought, summer harvest cannot be fought, autumn harvest cannot be fought, and winter is freezing to death.There are only a few stages of time suitable for war.

Huo Teng has a third bottom-of-the-box surprise besides the wolf came to cheat little Eckard and the samarium knife to improve the harvesting efficiency.

He spent his newly acquired skill on strategy yesterday, gaining a peculiar trait.

[Blitz: Launch a surprise attack on the enemy. 】

……

The spies ran all the way east, spent a week hiding in Tibet, and returned to the Merseburg base camp.

More than a thousand people gathered here, and they have been squatting with little Eckard for more than half a month.They were all waiting for Huo Teng's attack. After waiting for more than half a month, the food at home was almost cooked, so people's hearts fluttered.

"Good guy, I knew he was cheating on me!"

Spy!

For medieval nobles, this spy tactic was simply too advanced.

Little Eckard guessed that Huo Teng was not that smart, and he felt that he had grasped the essence of Huo Teng's bluff.

"I……"

Smart people already know how to deal with it.But everyone followed Eckard over-served for more than three months, and the morale of the army would collapse that day if they didn't go back to cultivate the land.

"In this way... let the army go home to harvest the wheat in advance. Although it is a little green, it can be eaten anyway."

Little Eckard turned around and made a gritted arrangement, calling on everyone to eat green wheat together.Then he said: "Everyone goes to the field, and the noble women also go. Lie on the ground and harvest our wheat, and then immediately assemble the army, and we will surprise Erfurt!"

Chapter 250 Four Men, Women and Children Join the Battle

The time has come to September.

The flames of war finally began to burn. When the peasants held the 'Hoteng Samarium Knife' borrowed from the lord, stood in front of the farmland calmly, and sweated profusely to harvest wheat. A bunch of flesh-and-blood knights of Göttingen began to open the door, grinding the family-heirloom sword with the whetstone, ready to receive the call for war.

And on the top of the town where the knights gathered, overlooking a large town on both sides of the river, more than [-] villages, a cathedral and a monastery, Huo Teng dragged a poor guy to listen to his nonsense.

"Strategic strategy, the problem is not only strategy, but also timing! To be honest, this battle was destined to start at this moment from the very beginning, from the summer."

Huo Teng talked about his strategic understanding to Adlaib.

Now Huo Teng has a useful subordinate, the bow and arrow captain Greb is in charge of rebuilding the castle in Castle Castle; Caron's subordinates have also dispersed, and he is now running around and gradually turning to diplomacy; Jeffrey is already the Viscount of Harz Mountain , At the moment, thousands of baskets of copper ore are being escorted to Göttingen.

The knight-level Keshihai presided over the defense of Erfurt City and maintained the overall situation. The heretic brother and sister Natur and Gruna shuttled through the jungle. Anyway, if they entered the city, they would provoke a siege from the church.

Therefore, the last person who was caught and chattered was Adlaib, the sheriff who rode a donkey and presided over the defense of the territory.

He is also an old subordinate of the Huo Teng family. He belongs to the core of the core of the Göttingen tribe. He must listen to the words of the patriarch.He could only squat at the door, listening to Huo Teng draw a map on a small blackboard with a small lime pen.

Huo Teng squatted down, pointing to the left and right ends of the map: "Look, Thuringia and Meissen together are like a shoulder pole. Our Göttingen is at the west end of the pole, and the Poles are at the pole. East. Both sides are holding one side of the pole, but they still have their own ideas. This is because they are afraid that the pole will break, and they are also afraid that the pole will run away with the other party. But we are small and weak, and we are small and thin people; the Polish princes are strong and strong There are so many people, we can't easily fight against them. We have to extend our arms bit by bit, grab the tail of the pole, then the middle, the tail of the pole, and finally pull the pole into our arms!"

Adlaib didn't listen, but Huo Teng said it very straightforwardly.

Now it's a thin Göttingen, competing with a strong Polish chief for a pole.Horten stuck Erfurt, Grand Duke Boleslav pinched Bautzen.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, Horten grabbed the beautiful woman's buttocks, and Boleslav had already hugged the beautiful woman's mouth.The two refused to give in to each other.Huo Teng took advantage of the distance and took the first step. Boleslav took advantage of his youth and force to grab a share. Now Huo Teng will let the beautiful woman go home with pregnancy first, or the Polish bandits will attack, and the bully will fight hard. It depends on this autumn war. .

"Do you understand?" Huo Teng's lip service was not just for fun, he was preparing for the strategy meeting after the army was assembled.

Huo Teng felt that his strengths and advantages probably lie here.

When other aristocratic lords went to the battlefield, they all waved 'follow me'.Huo Teng had to let the Cavaliers understand how to fight, how to go about the big strategy, and what to do with the small tactics.It is necessary to list all kinds of situations clearly in the pre-plan, so as to avoid being a fool during the battle, and not only knowing to run home when you disperse.

"Understood. What you mean is that when two dogs bite fat meat, they can neither throw the meat to the other dog nor let the meat fly by itself. But we are a thin dog and man is a fat dog, so we have to use Cleverness."

"In your eyes, Boleslav and I are two dogs."

Huo Teng rubbed his forehead, feeling that he was right.

Boleslav also felt that he was a subject of the emperor, and a man was still the king promised by the emperor, but he was also a dog. He had a higher status than Earl Horten, and he was fatter and fatter.

"Okay, let's talk about the time of battle. For us, harvesting livestock grain in summer, harvesting wheat before autumn, and planting wheat in mid-autumn, only the period after autumn is the signal of war. We farmers are like this, and we must be like this Fight. Even if there is trouble in the summer and the king forces us to go to the battlefield ahead of time, we have to catch up with the schedule. But for the Poles, who are half-agricultural and half-pastoral tribesmen, between summer grass and autumn harvest, as long as livestock It's not impossible to fight... But when we encountered heavy rain, the Poles happened to be blocked by the heavy rain on the Elbe River. Help us stagger the flames of war, but the flames of war in autumn cannot escape..."

Huo Teng told Adlaib about his views, but in fact he was reviewing a series of troubles that started in the summer.

Poland is a place that has been half-integrated with Germany, but has never been successful.From politics to diplomacy, this mess makes many things particularly difficult.

Beyond that, the farming schedule was the alarm clock when the war started.Huo Teng only needed 5 days to gather the core army, but Eckard Jr. still dragged a large number of his troops squatting in Merseburg, unable to salvage vital food.If he wants to harvest, it will take more than 15 days to solve it.

The 10-day time difference in between was Huo Teng's fighter plane.

"But boss, aren't we going to pack up little Eckard in the autumn and control Thuringia? Even if we get Thuringia, at most we can hold the place of Merseburg? Isn't your name Dongdaemun? Go further east Sen, for us it is simply a place where barbarians live..." Adlaib was dazed.

Hit Eckard?

"It's said to beat that kid, but it's actually a game with the Grand Duke of Poland. I guess, Boleslav should be just like me, squatting on the Bautzen border thinking about how to deal with me. But the heavy rain is too heavy, and his backup food must be It’s not enough, we can only stay in Bautzen first, and try to win over Hellman and Eckard’s brothers.”

Huo Teng continued to draw two small figures standing on poles. It is not known where the two brothers are currently taking refuge.Their attitude will determine whose arms the shoulder pole goes to.

"But little Eckard and the Hellman brothers, self-proclaimed civilized aristocrats, are not happy to take refuge with the savage bastards in the east."

A voice cut in.

Huo Teng nodded hastily: "Yes, yes, yes."

Romanians (Germans), after being influenced by Christianity for hundreds of thousands of years, really think that they are Romans, living in Romania, and they are very spiritual Romans from culture to belief.

So they all feel that they are civilized people, and they have a spiritual advantage when facing barbaric herdsmen like Poland and Hungary.

"Oh? Who answered?"

Huo Teng turned his head, just in time to see a beautiful woman with chestnut hair standing at the door.

It was Jones.

"I gave Gunter to Amelia and Conorsha, and asked them to help take care of it. This time I will go to the expedition with you." Jones gave Huo Teng a special look: "I must let this newborn An old woman with a child of half a year will go out with you. I'm afraid you will provoke some woman outside. "

Adlaib hastily covered his ears and squatted in the corner, pretending that he was not online.

"I don't have the heart to go to the countryside to rape women. I can finish off little Eckard. According to my thinking, little Eckard can't be solved quickly. Let him cause a storm first and help us win the hearts of the people." Huo Teng Turning back and continuing to toss the blackboard: "But this year I promised my subordinates that I will never issue military service to them this year. How to fight in the future must carefully calculate the existing troops we have on hand and plan to use them. So we have to be quick Exterminate that bastard, balance the two..."

Jones was stunned.

"You really take that bullshit seriously. This is an all-out war. Even if you don't sign for military service, they are already preparing to go to war."

"Ah?" Now Huo Teng was stunned.

It was Adlaib who stood up in a hurry and explained the situation to Huo Teng.

"Yeah, who remembers the promise at the beginning of the year. Now the knights and dignitaries in Göttingen are sharpening their knives and buying weapons and armor, waiting to go to Thuringia with you for a big battle."

Medieval lord promises are usually a piece of crap.

Huo Teng took his words seriously, but his subordinates didn't take them seriously.Now there are wild rumors that there will be a fierce battle outside, and the nobles of Göttingen have also seen the honorable Ms. Adelaide.The Duchy of Thuringia is likely to come to fruition, even if Huo Teng is not happy, they will urge Huo Teng to go.

Adelaide pulled Huo Teng and said, "We are all from Göttingen. We are connected by blood and bones. Why don't we go to the battlefield together?"

"Yes." Jones pushed him, "When I came in, there were already dozens of knights and their families outside the door urging you."

This is one of the differences between the feudal systems in Germany and France.This is from the tribe to the feudal principality. The personal attachment of the tribal era is now a reality, that is, Huo Teng is responsible for the people, and the people are also one with Huo Teng.

For some reason, Huo Teng felt quite good.

When the relatives came up, he didn't care about his bullshit promise, and hurried to the city gate to see that there were not only dozens of hundreds, but three or four hundred knights, dignitaries, and squires with their families and servants. and servants, crowding at the door, shouting to the guards to open the door and let them in.

They are going to fight for Horten and Gottingen.

"Damn it, it took me to tears." Huo Teng wiped the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly shouted downstairs: "Open the door, let them in. Tell them, I will pay for all the food for this Eastern Expedition. No need." Bring your own."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of scolding.

"That's right. You promised not to conscript at the beginning of the year, but now you treat that as bullshit. You don't have to pay for the food."

"You have already made samarium knives. There is so much food in the house, and you are thick-skinned enough to ask us for food."

Every soldier who came in wanted to hurt Huo Teng, but none of them really went home in anger. Instead, they planned to convert the rations they had prepared into money and get some people to help.

The city gate can't be closed.

No matter how far or near, Göttingen's subordinates rushed over from time to time.

"so good."

Huo Teng was overjoyed to see it, and hastily overturned the carefully planned plan.

Although Huo Teng also knows that the people of Göttingen are so active, it is because Huo Teng has won many battles in the past two years, and the income of the fief has continued to increase, so the knights' fighting spirit is inflated, and they are yelling to go to the Duchy of Thuringia to divide loot.

"Count, I will go too."

Suddenly, the plump and flamboyant Ms. Adelaide rushed out from nowhere, with a dagger hanging on her waist, and took Horten's hand: "I am the patron of Erfurt, and I will also go to Erfurt." Go to war."

"You... OK, you go too."

Huo Teng thought of her identity and the legitimacy of this war, so he had no choice but to pat Adelaide on the head, tacitly allowing her to join the army.

"That's true, young and old, let's go to battle. I can't lose face in Thuringia."

According to simple statistics, Huo Teng has received more than 800 fighters to attend the pilgrimage in the past two days. More than 200 knights and more than [-] dignitaries and gentry led the battle.It's just because this year is really poor, and there are very few handymen and subordinates, so it can't be regarded as combat effectiveness.
