Chapter 302: To form a new infantry battalion

ps: Thank you two great rewards of book friend "n", thank you very much!

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

"Raymond, are you back?" The old mother opened the door in a fur coat.

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 it as a home. They prefer to build a house in the village 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. The young man was very tired, but his spirit was good: "I'm exhausted."

"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 held by Raymond's hand.

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

Raymond walked into the room with a grin. 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 and beat you up!" Said the old mother, anxiously, seeming to be very anxious 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.

But 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 people's tables 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, which was happy, and Thomas kept the saliva: "Mom, I want to eat meat"

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

n love to eat 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.

"Your wine must be made by the Empire."

Brittany jokes, alluding 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 this must be the ale from Brittany."

The Empire jokes that this ale is too difficult 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, and the Earl said that he would recruit a 400-member halberd camp, which was facing the entire territory. I ’d like to try to recruit all the leaders of the country. 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 they can eat meat once every 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 select the right mother among us. I'm a little late as a carpenter at my age. I'm almost seventeen and eighteen. It will be difficult to improve in the future. 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.

"Well"

"I need to recruit a halberd from the serfs and the people. The initial number is 300 to 500. These people are trained three days a week, and they are left to work or rest on their own for three days. Salary, full salary in wartime, 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. .

"Up to three hundred and fifty people, my count." Tax official Gasparton said quickly, the tax minister in charge quickly said to Ryan: "No matter how much, the financial support can not."

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

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

Since coming 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.

The backwaters were brought to life by Lane, the chaotic servants were socked 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 halberd regiment of 300 people, but with this money, we might as well recruit more knights?" Kingdom Knight Olivier said: "Knights are the root of war."

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

"My earl, the infantry are hard to solve the problem."

"Earl, there are currently more than 30 vacancies for Ranger Knights in the 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 that this is the dwarf's request?" The knights seemed to have misunderstood something, and Kingdom Knight Hux asked first.

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

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

As the Earl of Glamorgan, Ryan can create three baronial titles under his staff, but he has not created one at present, which means that he still owns all his own territories.

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 cannot directly mention it. One thing is that it is not in the interest of the cavalier class. Second, Ryan's attitude is also crucial.

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

So 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 is the 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, and the production of dwarven Seiko plate armor and various excellent weapons was fast and good, and beautiful Cheap, and deeply loved by the knights.

"If this is said, 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's feasible," Hux continued, and the kingdom knight nodded: "I can train these soldiers, just lower them according to the standard of obedience."

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

Ryan was somewhat surprised by the concerns of the Cavaliers, but since everyone agreed, his purpose was achieved. The count turned to his butler Kasenberg and said: "Then implement it according to this condition. 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. "

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

"If you train, it's up to your brother and Hecks." Lane 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, for some time now, Ranger Cavaliers have participated in the training of Ranger The .com ~ conference continues. 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 time this has happened.

"By the way, my count, the fifty military horses you purchased before have arrived. We can select some of them from the sergeants and 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.

The Ranger Knight Lucien from Winford hurriedly rushed in through 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 openly! Whoever gets the harvest! "
