This non-hard clause is the slavery system in Europe that lasted for 3000 to [-] years. It continued to emerge in an endless stream until the modern era of great navigation. Even before the First World War, Belgium’s brutal rule of the Congo would appear, such a dark horror that even barbarians could not stand. part of the driving force.

Although the position of the church has always been very progressive, supporting the abolition of slavery and continuously condemning various acts of slavery, but outside the main position, there are countless small nines, and there are those unknown speech positions.

One of the most typical problems is that the church does not allow Christians to be slaves first, because according to the Bible, everyone is brothers of the same clan.But after slavery began, it was always inevitable that Christians would become slaves.This problem is difficult to solve, so it is usually the bishop who takes the lead in spending money, releases people privately, and then ignores institutional mistakes.

For example, the manor serfs of the Carolingian Dynasty, this half-personal attachment system; for example, the manor slaves in the Duchy of Saxony and various Christian kingdoms on the border; for example, the slaves that appeared in the battle between Spain and Muslims; for example, the thousand-year-old slaves of the Eastern Roman Empire Markets; for example, in southern Italy in the 13th century, white people were popular buying black slaves and so on.

The decline of St. Maurice, the patron saint of Germany, stems from the fact that St. Maurice was interpreted as a black man, and blacks appeared as slaves in Europe at that time and later, including the Arab world.How can Germany be guarded by a black slave?

In the Bible, the debate on this chapter of "Philemon" was the main argument of Christianity in support of and against abolitionism during the Age of Discovery.In the United States at that time, both southern and northern slaveholding and abolitionists derived their own views from this.However, their views are diametrically opposed.If you put their views together, God is a schizophrenic who supports both abolition and slavery.It fully demonstrates the right to interpret the scriptures, which is more terrifying than the meaning of the original owner of the scriptures.

In the Bible, countless articles emphasize obedience and obedience to God.As a result, many priests quoted scriptures. When it was necessary to create the right to speak for the church, they said that they should obey the church; when they needed to serve the king, they advocated that the nobles should obey the king; God encourages obedience to the cultivation of the farmer.

The darkest, funny, and comical scene is that among the vast wealth that Christianity has mastered, the proportion of serfs in those Christian manors is even higher than other places.In the church manors of Saxony, there are also Christian slave activities.This is contrary to their progressive claims, but fits perfectly with their twisted biblical interpretation.

In this world, slaves still widely exist in every corner.Unless there is an unreasonably rotten race like the green skins, there are slaves and serfs everywhere.Whether it's the elves in Eastern Rome, the dwarves in the Alps, or the nomadic tribes on the Eastern European prairie.

When Horten left Mainz, Archbishop Burgard presented a batch of supplies, which happened to include slaves, so Horten saved the cost of recruiting farmers and urged the team to continue south.

After these slaves entered the team, they quickly entered the working state, working harder than Huo Teng's old subordinates.

After inquiry, it was found that this was because there had been more bandits than wheat and more bandits than grain nearby.There are people everywhere in the ten miles and eight villages, and many farmers simply hide their seeds and prepare to plant late wheat, so as not to give the robbers any room for disaster.

Under such circumstances, the robbers and bandits found that food is already a precious resource, but people are cheap goods everywhere.

Since they are all about eating, isn’t eating wheat the same as eating people?

Eat people and meat.

As a result, the robber knights, bandits, green-skinned orcs, and even the beastman tribe all began to grab each other and start a terrible life of you eating me and I eating you.

Horten shared the news with Caron and Amelia to keep the troops on alert.

Sure enough, many buried human and animal bones were found near the bandit camp.

In fact, this has become a commonplace situation.In many European literary works and fairy tales, there will be witches stirring pots with human bones. The appearance of this folk impression proves that cannibalism has always occurred in disaster years.

"We took most of the bishop's employment money, okay?" Amelia, who still had a certain awe of the church, raised this question on the way.

Of course Huo Teng shook his head continuously.How much money can you get for suppressing bandits?These paupers are worthless except for the occasional bandit knights and supplying slaves, and the system doesn't even bother to convert their rags.

"A 400-strong army is already quite a force on both sides of the Rhine River. We just need to be ourselves. Besides, our expenses have always been high. How can we not earn more?" Huo Teng was right.His progress over the past year, in addition to his own ability, is the constant expenditure of large sums.

When buying and rebuilding the feudal contract, Huo Teng directly spilled thousands of gold coins, which is a huge sum that the dukes would only spend when they donated to the monastery.Not to mention the following several big wars and wooing alliances, Huo Teng's wallet always swelled from time to time and always dried up.

Huo Teng is now, just like the entrepreneurial team engaged in the Internet, first he has to spend a lot of money, and then he has the opportunity to make a lot of money.

The money donated by Burgard, Huo Teng used it as this year's activities.As for where to continue financing next year, let’s see what happens next year.

For ordinary nobles, the money that Huo Teng squandered this year is very likely to be his life savings.

The expeditionary army continued to advance, and along the winding Rhine, only the last bend of the river remained before the destination city of Worms, and encountered a city where fierce fighting broke out with the besieging bandits.

The castle appeared on the map.On this narrow plain, there are five or six marked cities, and this one is the closest one to Worms.

"Lala City? What a strange name." Huo Teng looked at the small city in confusion.

Based on the naming habits of the Germans, how could it be called this name?

Unable to understand, Huo Teng immediately ordered the army to call the citizens of Lala on the other side of the river to send a boat over.

The bandits who besieged the city collapsed and retreated immediately when they saw Huo Teng appearing.

Over the past few days, the bandits who have been active nearby know that a northern nobleman who claims to be the savior is leading an army south. He has hundreds of knights, enough to drive out any bandits who dare to resist him.

The citizens of Lala also warmly welcomed Huo Teng's arrival.

It's just that they immediately provided another shocking news.

"What? Worms is surrounded by a coalition of thousands of bandits?" Huo Teng's brain was a little overwhelmed.

Although I have already experienced it personally, medieval Europe is not the legendary village chief war, in fact, it requires a lot of tactical literacy.But after being used to fighting battles with hundreds of people, Huo Teng couldn't imagine the scale of a battle with thousands of people.

……

When Huo Teng was fighting two hundred miles away, in Göttingen County, as the nominal unofficial wife of the palace minister, Jones led the guard of honor knights to patrol the countryside to demonstrate the power of the palace minister of Göttingen to the peasants .

In the 11 villages around the Free City of Göttingen, as well as the villages of the vassal nobles on the east bank of the Duck Pond River, and 10 villages near Millhausburg, after a tour, the status of the palace minister Huo Teng has been Almost put the Countess down.

However, by chance, Jones met a manger near a stable in Liberty City. He was forced to move out and he complained to Jones: "The Countess doesn't care about me at all, he just wants to find a peacemaker. A place of cheating."

"Shut up! Send him to Fort Millhouse, and I'll give you a big stable!" Jones immediately ordered the guard of honor knights to send the family farther.

The fact that Huo Teng and Conosha had an affair was almost known in the territory.

Of course Jones knew, even when she was ordered to form an informal family with Huo Teng, she knew that Connorsa was up to no good.

Pushing his best friend to Huo Teng was only because the status of the two was not equal enough.Once the time comes, Jones will be annulled and turned into a failed item.

However, Jones showed a slight smile.

In order to counter Connorsa, Jones has made every effort.

And now, she has succeeded.

Jones stroked her still flat belly and went home.She will try her best to make Conosha unable to succeed.

Chapter 96 Blaming the Jews

What is the size of an army of 400 people?It was Huo Teng Middle School, and there were six classes, making up the size of a class of students.When they stand together in a meeting, they can fill a corner of the playground.

But what is the size of an army of thousands of people?That's the number of freshmen in the whole class in college. There are so many people that they can destroy all the grass on the playground.

The two are on a completely different scale.

When Huo Teng and the knights were squatting in Lala Castle and looking at the city of Worms, he couldn't help feeling that the monsters and ghosts in this world are so wonderful that it would be uncomfortable not to vomit three times.

The army besieging Worms was divided into three groups.

In the north is a bandit gang of about [-] people, piled up by the pot in groups of three or four, all of whom look like lunatics in ragged clothes and eating people's bones; on the west side of the bandits, there is a group of barely disciplined bandit knights , As mentioned before, robber knights do not mean that they are robbers, but are similar to the status of local gangsters.The priests of Worms made things difficult for the local knights every day and beat the peasants to their bones. Naturally, when the city was in danger, they were besieged by this group of people.

In the south, there are endless green-skinned orcs. These green monsters are three or four feet small and six or seven feet tall. largest share.

Greenskins reproduce faster than humans. Once a war occurs, they will gather in large numbers and form a war group that can quickly form combat effectiveness, selecting their own warlords.

However, Huo Teng, their warlord, couldn't be found for a long time in this huge battle group of three or four thousand grits, goblins and orcs.Logically speaking, the biggest orc would automatically compete for the position of warlord.With the flamboyant personalities of this group of green skins, not all urinals are hanging on their heads, but they are all modest in character.

"Should we fight? To be honest, my good guys are all scared." The mercenary captain and the great swordsman Calon seemed to be retreating.

"Just say that you're afraid, so why don't you have the nerve to shift the responsibility to your subordinates?" Of course, Huo Teng didn't allow this fear of war to continue, and he immediately blocked the mercenary's mouth with aggressive methods.

Caron rubbed his forehead, but he didn't dare to say that he was afraid of failure.

After all, they receive Huo Teng's salary and food, and this professional quality is still there compared to the simple ethics of medieval warriors.

For medieval people who have never seen the colorful world, Huo Teng, a big nobleman who spends a lot of money and pays food and wages on time, can already die for it.Caron thought, if Huo Teng really goes up and loses the battle, then he will be the queen, or die.

This simple concept of allegiance is also a folk basis for the fact that Western European military power is often stronger than that of Italy.

"To be honest, it's enough to hit here. I heard that Worms is the largest city in Franconia. There are three cathedrals in the empire there, as well as Charlemagne's palace. How can we hold it and save it? It's..." Amelia is not afraid of death, but as a lady from a knight family, she clearly feels the huge difference between the enemy and us.

Whether it's the huge city of Worms, or an enemy as numerous as weeds, can Huo Teng's army resist it?

"This is not only the most prosperous city. It also has the largest number of Jews in Germany." Karon said casually, "The businessmen here are very rich."

Horten also knew that the Song of the Nibelungen, one of the three epics of the Middle Ages, took place in Worms.The city is good everywhere, but the name is a worm in English, which often leads to errors in modern translations.It was once the permanent residence of the emperor Caesar's palace.

"Speaking of which, the Jews must be very rich." Huo Teng suddenly had a bad idea.

Caron then said: "Guillaume ben Judy, the mentor of all Frankish Jews. He is the great rabbi of the Jewish community in Worms. It is said that he has two hundred apprentices. It is also said that Guillaume has recently been They want to gather the Jewish priests of Franconia for some kind of religious meeting. According to me, all the Jews should be slaughtered."

Huo Teng was noncommittal.

The status of the Jews in the Middle Ages was low. Due to restrictions everywhere, most of them gathered in the cities.

Since the last century, the Jewish community in Worms has been very prosperous and was once very famous.The gathering and dispersal of the Jews is very dependent on the favor of the local king, and they will be expelled because they are too rich.But Worms gained the position of the Free City very early, and the Jewish community here has continued into modern times.

Then I encountered Mustache's Crystal Night, where the Jews were killed in a wave and have not recovered until modern times.

Rabbi Guillaume, who can be called the archbishop of the German Jews, has a very high status and is the great teacher of the rabbis in the Jewish community.Just recently, Guillaume wished to gather various rabbis to discuss one matter.

That is polygamy forbidden to Jews.It can be seen from this that the Jews should have had more polygamy behaviors before this, which is considered a very non-religious practice.And this prohibition turned out to be the first time in Jewish history that they spoke out at an academic religious conference.One can imagine the regression of the Jewish community in the previous centuries.

By the way, Guillaume also wanted to solicit a sum of money from all Jews to build a new synagogue in Worms.This should also be the first synagogue in Germany.

Caron, who was active near Mainz, told Horten all this knowledge.

Huo Teng stopped the march and observed the bandit allied forces for another whole day.

Not surprisingly, Huo Teng found that bandits and robber knights were wary of each other, but they both hated the green skins very much, and the distance between the two sides was very far.And during this day, he observed quite a few bandits and green skins throwing each other into the soup pot.

"You say, if I trick them and say that I am willing to give them five thousand gold coins that the Jews used to build the church, and hope that they can drive away the greenskin tribe, how about this method?" Huo Teng said the bad idea he thought of. Come out and brainstorm.

Anyway, it must be the Jews who pay the money.

Even if they are stingy, they will never promise the money.But Huo Teng has fists, violence is very useful.

The church also has an attitude towards the Jews that I am high-quality and civilized, but I still discriminate against you, and I believe it will not support the Jews.

"I'm afraid not. I think they are quite united." Amelia thought it was impossible.

Caron also nodded: "If they can get together, I think there must be some kind of agreement."

But Huo Teng thinks this plan is reliable.

There must have been locals among these bandits, too, who knew that the Jews were richer, which was a useful primer.

So Huo Teng let the army stay in Lala City, watching the bandit army continue to provoke the Worms defenders who demolished half of the city wall across the river.

Huo Teng's idea is very simple at present, that is to wait.

There are too many bandits and soldiers, with so many mouths, don't they want to eat?

They seem to have an agreement, but once they are too hungry, don't they still have to eat the other party's army first?

At this time, Huo Teng went in with an army of 400 people to disturb him. If he didn't disturb him, it would not be Huo Teng's character.

The only worry is that most of Worms' city wall has been demolished, and now it is all supported by the citizens and defenders.

If Burgard hadn't forced the demolition of the city wall, Worms would not have been afraid of the siege of these thousands of miscellaneous fish.So Horten reconfirmed that in the present Franconia, it is impossible to tear down the city walls.Burgard is not only pedantic, but also has an outdated utopianism.

After spending another two days in such doubts, the north-south communication line opened by Huo Teng brought Burgard's urging.

Hurry up to rescue his teacher, Willie Keith, bishop of Worms, come out.

If the teacher died because of his own random policies, Burgard's reputation would be ruined.

But Huo Teng persisted.

He just watched the bandits besiege for days, waiting for the time when the food ran out.

Finally, the green-skinned orcs, who were chaotic all day long, welcomed a reinforcement army from the forest this day.Their great warlord, a huge orc as fat as a ball, swaggered on a donkey cart.

Then, a giant with a stooped body about four or five meters high followed abruptly!

"Damn it, the green-skinned giant war beast is here." Amelia was even more pessimistic, because how could such a huge orc fight against the enemy without effective weapons?

Huo Teng felt that his idea was correct.

"This giant, how much does he eat a day?"

Chapter 97 Lied to the bishop as insurance, shameless

How to use one sentence to describe the lack of food civilization in the Middle Ages?

For Horten, it was his discovery that in the language of most of Western Europe, there was hardly a single native word in the gradual collapse of Roman rule in Western Europe.

"Delicious" or "Gourmet".

This is not just as simple as the lack of supplies, but the module of food has been directly removed from the human language system.This is unimaginably terrible for modern people.Ordinary people in this era have lived in such a living environment for centuries.

Huo Teng has lived in such a living environment for eight years.He couldn't even express a direct compliment like 'this meal was delicious', but could only say in general that it was good, excellent.Or you can use the Latin word 'delicious' you have learned to solve such compliments.The dialect can't be changed at all.

This is why many words in Western European countries come from Latin.Because there is no corresponding dialect in the country.Such as delicious, emperor, senate and so on.As the marginal derivative civilization of Rome, the secondary civilization of Greece, all civilizations in Western Europe also, as secondary civilizations of Rome-Greek, absorbed the nutrients of the extinct Roman-Greek culture.

No, Rome is not dead yet, and it is even still recognized as the leader of the empire by the Christian world all over Europe.

Therefore, just from the loss and change of such words, we can discover how important the great development of Western Europe that only began to appear at the end of the 10th century and the beginning of the 11th century.It not only allowed Europe to wage war on Arab civilization with a backward civilization attitude and won successive battles a century later, but also allowed more and richer vocabulary to enter people's lives.

For example, they began to pursue delicacy, and its synonym for delicacy: spices.

Of course, military achievements are not worth mentioning for this period of great development.
