ps: Thank you book lover "ndjlcyx" for two great rewards, thank you very much!

In spring, April, in the town of Jean at night, a young man carrying a piece of pork, a bottle of wine, and knocking on a wooden door: "Mom, I'm back."

"Raymond, are you back?" The old mother opened the door in an animal skin suit.

This is a huge wooden building, which is divided into many small rooms. The fugitives are arranged in this big house. When they have no place to live, they can live in this huge wooden building. Just pay a small amount of rent to the earl.

The fugitives do not regard this place as a home. They prefer to build a house in the village themselves, or even buy a house in the town.

"Mom, I'm back." In the spring, the night was cold like water, and a cold wind blew into the house. Raymond appeared tiredly, and the young man looked very tired, but his spirit was not bad: "I'm exhausted."

"Brother ~ Brother ~" Brother Thomas trotting out of the room, the boy is still very thin, but his face is much better, the child is drooling, he saw the piece of pork that Raymond was holding in his hand.

"Oh, Raymond! Why did you buy so much meat?" The old mother immediately complained: "We finally have a firm foothold here. You earn ten copper coins a day, is it not good to save?"

Raymond walked into the room with a smile. The room was cleaned with wooden floors. The fire was ignited in the middle of the room, maintaining a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

"It's not much, a pound of pork is about forty copper coins, mother." Raymond handed the pork to the old mother's hands, and the young serf said with a smile: "It's been over a month for me to work here, I think we It ’s time to eat some meat. "

"Oh, if your father knows that you are spending so much money, he will hang you up for a fight!" The old mother said with some anxiety, and seemed to be very worried about her son buying a pound of pork.

Soon, the smell of pork stew wafted in the house. The old mother cut the pork into small pieces with a knife, added some salt, and put it in the original stew, the smell of pork wafted in the room. This pork cost Raymond four days of labor, but it was already a miracle for the serf.

And this matter is not uncommon for the Earl of Glamorgan. After five years of development, the serfs have been able to eat meat occasionally, and the tables of the free people have become richer.

"The cheapest on the market is rabbit meat and some bird meat. The cheapest one is twenty copper coins a pound." Raymond put down his tools and sat on a wooden chair at home.

Raymond was recruited into the dwarf carpenter ’s workshop to work for ten hours a day, and his daily salary was twelve copper coins, which was settled once a week, except for Sundays, one to two days off every ten days. Do not rest.

Raymond chose not to rest, or for him, rest did not know what to do.

Rabbit meat and bird meat are not new to serfs, because only the meat of these creatures can be eaten often, rabbits and birds are a great threat to food crops, and the lord allows the serfs to capture and eat these by themselves. meat.

The old mother took some needlework in the city, and can earn 30 or 40 copper coins in a week. The family's life is much better. They are now full of hope for life. Raymond is thinking about earning more money. Find a way to build a house, and get rid of the identity of the present.

Inside the house quietly, the family was holding a bowl, sharing black bread and pork stew, and it was happy, Thomas kept saliva: "Mom, I want to eat meat ~"

"Good ~" The old mother kindly beat a bowl of broth with a large wooden spoon, and then picked out a large piece of fat and placed it in Thomas's bowl.

Poor people love fatty meat.

The child was ignorant of many things. He chewed the fat pork bit by bit, squinting with pleasure, and Raymond was eating the broth and the dark bread soaked in the broth, and then tasted it. A glass of barley wine, which was brought by Raymond to a tavern in the town, and a few copper coins were done.

The Empire is best at brewing dark beer and various malts. The Empire ’s ale and beer are well-known all over the world and are widely consumed by people in the old world. In addition to the wines of the province of Ivey, most other wines are sour and astringent. The following pharynx.

"You must have made this wine from the Empire."

——Bretonian joke, alleging that this wine is disgusting and difficult to swallow.

Britannia is best at brewing all kinds of wines, especially the wines of Winford and Boldro are famous all over the world. They are an indispensable and important part of the table of the nobles, and the ale and beer produced are very spicy and bitter. And it has a sour smell.

"Now I know that this must be the ale from Brittany."

——Imperial joke, that this ale is so hard to drink.

Barley wine is frothy, this is the cheapest wine, always smells of a thick wood chips and barley residue, and only this kind of wine, serf can often drink, many serf's biggest hobby is to give the lord master After part-time work, I went to the tavern to drink a glass of barley wine. The old mother looked at Raymond frowning and drinking barley wine, and sighed: "Raymond, I feel like I am having a dream. I hope this dream will last forever. Don't wake up. "

"Mom." Drinking broth, Raymond also had tears in his eyes. He said softly: "The count is different from other lords. He understands the hardship of serfs. We will live a good life and choose to be fugitives. It's really right. Today the sergeants are still issuing orders. They said that the count has negotiated with His Majesty the King. As long as we work hard, we can really stay here! "

"That's really good!" The old mother couldn't help wiping her tears: "If your father is still alive, he will be very happy."

"Mother ..." Raymond put down the bowl and wiped tears vigorously: "Mother, I participated in the training of recruits as a recruit today. Your Excellency said that he was going to recruit a 400-member halberd camp. This halberd camp faced Recruiting all the territories in the entire territory, I also want to try it. Mr. Deron, the dwarf master, said that this army will be equipped with a full set of dwarf breastplates and halberds. It is said that it can eat meat once in three days! "

"Ah ?! Is there such a good thing?" The old mother was obviously frightened: "Then you have become the Earl's soldier?"

"That's not there yet. First, all the people take turns training. The master knights and sergeants will pick the right one among us ... Mom, it's a bit late for me to be a carpenter at my age. I'm 17 and I'm almost 18 It ’s hard to improve in the future. I ... I want to send Thomas to be an apprentice to the dwarf master. I want to join the army! "Raymond hesitated and told his old mother his plans.

"Hmm ~~~"

…………

"I need to recruit a halberd from the serfs and freemen. The initial number is 300 to 500. These people train three days a week, leaving them three days a week for their own farming or rest. Half of the salary is paid, and the full salary is paid during the war. You can eat meat once a week and enjoy beer ration once. "

At the same time, in the conference room of the Earl ’s Castle, Lane was also discussing with his courtiers and knights about the formation of the halberd regiment. His courtiers and knights gathered around the long table and discussed a new army with the count. .

"Maximum three hundred and fifty people, my count." Tax official Gasparton hurriedly said, the tax minister in charge hurriedly said to Ryan: "No more, the finances can't support it."

"Then three hundred people." Ryan nodded: "The serf conscription was proved to be embarrassing, and it was a charge for the knights. We need an army like this."

The holy knight Armand nodded, the sword of Aquitaine shimmered around his waist, the Earl's flag officer was thinking, and Armand was thinking about the pros and cons of Ryan's idea.

Since he came to Ryan's territory, what Amand saw and heard made him feel a new atmosphere. There is a kind of vitality here, a kind of vitality that the knight kingdom has long missed.

This backwater was brought to life by Lane, the chaotic servants were slaughtered in the forest, the long-dead settlements were re-established, large areas of farmland were reclaimed, the serfs had more enthusiasm, and the knights were intoxicated. Count Ryan ’s great achievements are inextricable, imitating Ryan ’s every move.

"My Count, there is no problem in training the 300-member halberd regiment, but with this money, we might as well recruit more knights?" Kingdom Knight Olivier said: "Knights are the basis of war."

"Good! The knight is the root of war."

"My Count, the infantry are difficult to solve the problem."

"Earl, there are more than 30 vacancies for Ranger Knights in the current collar!"

The participating knights said eloquently that they preferred to form and recruit more knight troops than to build a halberd infantry battalion.

"Knights are the most important combat power of war, but not everything, gentlemen." Lane said with a smile: "When the knights charge on the battlefield, we need the army to cover our artillery and crossbowmen, so my opinion It is imperative to form such an halberd army, "Lane said calmly.

Yes, in fact, whether it is an empire or Brittania, it is the knight's group charge that ultimately decides to win, but the cavalry is dynamic. He needs an excellent infantry regiment to charge against the enemy, in order to guarantee himself The long-range troops have enough space to output.

"The count means ... This is the dwarf's request?" The knights seemed to have misunderstood, and the Kingdom Knight Hux first asked.

This knight from Le Angourand has reached the 30-year-old mark this year. His momentum has become more stable, and he is responsible for training many of the troops in the Earl's collar.

For Lane to form the halberd camp, Hecks's heart is supportive.

Lane, as Earl of Glamorgan, can create three baronial titles under his staff, but he has not created one at present, which means that he himself is still directly under his own territory.

Everyone was greeted by the titles of these three barons, including Hecks. He always believed that his family must regain a knighthood in order to revive.

But he could not directly put it forward. One thing is that it is not in the interest of the cavaliers. Secondly, Lane ’s attitude is also crucial.

The baron is a military aristocrat. If he wants to be a baron, his blood is still second. The first requirement is to be able to conquer good wars and martial arts.

Then the question is coming, is there anything better than Ryan in the territory? Even Lion's brother Angelo is just a kingdom knight. What courage do these kingdom knights ask to be baroned?

Hex thought for a moment, he knew he needed to find an entry point.

That's a dwarf.

Hex said so, everyone thought about it, the addition and appearance of dwarves made the equipment and weapons of the knights have an immediate change, the production of dwarf's Seiko plate armor and various excellent weapons is fast and good, and beautiful Cheap, and deeply loved by the knights.

"If we say this, we really want to send people to protect our dwarf friends and their artillery." Lops said first, the knight from the Nord kingdom first agreed with Ryan's proposal: "I think it works."

"I also think it is feasible." Hex went on to say, the kingdom knight nodded: "I can train these soldiers, just lower it according to the standard of obedience."

"Okay." Olivier heard that this unit was used to protect the dwarves and no longer insisted.

Ryan was somewhat surprised by the knights ’concerns, but since everyone agreed, his purpose was achieved, and the count turned to his butler, Kasenberg, and said," Then ... just follow this condition. Let ’s go to www.ltnovel.com ~ The new army keeps up with nutrition and is well-trained. Our dwarf friends will equip them with halberds or sword shields and wear iron breastplates and helmets. "

"Understand, my count." Kasenberg bent over, and the tall butler nodded.

"If you train, leave it to your brother and Hecks." Ryan said towards Angel and Hecks again.

Both Angeland and Hecks nodded, and the training must be the director of Hecks. As for Angeland, he can provide guidance. In fact, since this time, Ranger Knights have been involved in the training of Ranger.

The meeting is still going on. This is a semi-professional army, which is completely different from the previous infantry regiment. The people are still negotiating specific arrangements. For the Brittany knights, this is the first This happened once.

"Yes, my earl, the fifty military horses you purchased before have arrived. We can select some of the sergeants to make them rangers." Kasenberg continued.

"Very good." Ryan nodded, and wanted to say something more. The door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open.

Ranger Knight Lucien from Winford hurriedly rushed in from the door: "Count, not good!"

"What's wrong?" Ryan looked up.

"A big event happened in the north. The serfs who had been repressed by the riots before Lyonsey gathered. They launched a rebellion and killed the fortress of the castle of Barrymont. They declared their independence! They even issued a slogan. Whoever gets the harvest! "
