Chapter IV: Transmission Marks
Liu Huaqiang felt that seven hundred deniers was too little, but Davar didn't see it that way, in his eyes, it was simply a huge amount of money.
The golden Ducat's gold coins made this new knight look straight at his eyes.
If it weren't for the money in Liu Huaqiang's hands, he would definitely grab the gold coin and take a bite to see if he could leave a tooth mark.
Liu Huaqiang saw Davar's eyes, took his dirty hand, and put all the gold and silver coins in his hands.
"This money is given to you as a fund for the activities of the conveners, there is not much money, and I only have this now."
"Big ...... Man, that's a lot of money! I...... I don't need that much, just two silver coins. ”
Davar said this, but his hand was clenched tightly, and the gold and silver coins inside were firmly held in his hand.
"Don't shirk, raise an army, the money is just a drop in the bucket.
When you spend money, you have to calculate more, and you have to spend every denier where it is most needed.
When we defeat the invaders, we will get mountains of gold and silver, and we can spend them however we want. ”
To tell the truth, Liu Huaqiang was really afraid that his money would be wasted, so he simply drew a big pie for Davar.
The scene of the mountains of gold and silver suddenly appeared in Davar's mind, and he himself did not know how he could have imagined this picture with his own limited imagination.
Wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, Davar carefully put the money in his hand into his dirty pants pocket.
Then he put a hand in his pocket, as if he was afraid that the gold and silver coins inside would grow wings and fly away.
"After the Ottomans have taken me away, you will gather your men according to what I said before.
Remember, you must be careful and don't let the word go.
If you can't judge whether a person is trustworthy or not, then it is better to give up on him than to take risks. ”
Liu Huaqiang continued to instruct Davar, and he muttered slightly: "After tonight, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to have a chance to contact, so there must be a safe way to exchange information."
Before reaching Targoviste, the Ottomans would find a place to rest along the way, and I would try to slow down the journey.
If there's a message that needs to be delivered, you get to the next most likely resting place ahead of time, write it down and bury it next to the stable.
Then I will find a way to get rid of the others, go to the stable and look for your letter, and leave you a note. ”
The current Liu Huaqiang's most accurate identity should be called the heir of the Grand Duke of Wallachia.
He could only become the true Grand Duke of Wallachia by going to Targoviste, the capital of Wallachia, to receive the divine coronation of the Patriarch (according to Orthodox Christianity, equivalent to the Pope).
At the current speed of travel, if Liu Huaqiang deliberately delays, it will take at least a month to reach Targoviste.
In this way, Davar was given plenty of time to recruit men and deliver the word.
As for the place to rest every night, it is not difficult to be sure, every time you go, the largest local nobles will definitely take the initiative to invite Liu Huaqiang and his party to their castle or manor to rest.
After listening to Liu Huaqiang's plan, Davar first nodded, then shook his head, and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, your idea is very good, but there is a problem, I can't read." ”
In the 15th century, whether in the East or the West, the literacy rate of the people was not high, only about twenty percent.
"It's okay, in that case, I'll teach you a symbol now.
To be exact, it should be a way to keep a record of numbers, and how many people you have gathered, and write them on the stables with this method of recording, and I will know what is going on on your side. ”
Liu Huaqiang's mind was spinning, simplifying everything, he didn't need to know whether Davar was a shoemaker or a cook, just know the specific number.
As for the symbols in his mouth, they are very simple, they are lowercase Chinese characters.
Not daring to delay time, Liu Huaqiang immediately squatted on the ground and wrote everything from one to ten to Daval.
Dawar is illiterate, not because he is stupid, but because he has not been able to receive an education since childhood.
So, just by looking at it once, he memorized the writing of ten lowercase Chinese numbers.
"Okay, that's it, every day or two, report to me the number of people gathered there.
When you find someone you can trust who can write, we'll start contacting you with a note.
When the time comes, you write down three of these symbols in the place where you hide the note, and I will know that you have news for me. ”
While speaking, Liu Huaqiang wrote the word 'six' on the ground, and 'six-six-six' became a signal for the two people to pass on the news.
Liu Huaqiang has already explained everything to Davar, and the next thing is to see if Davar can complete the task.
Of course, Liu Huaqiang knows that he can't put all his eggs in one basket.
So on the way back, he will also look for a new agent who will give him the same task as Davar.
Gathering sand into a tower, one dawar can find 20 people, and twenty davars can find 400 people.
Although the time is short, if it really develops like this, Liu Huaqiang believes that within two months, he will definitely be able to get rid of the control of the Ottomans.
"Dear Knight Davar, I entrust my fate to you, and I hope you can bring me good news."
"Your Excellency, I will definitely do my best to complete the task and live up to your expectations."
After giving each other a positive look, Liu Huaqiang turned around and left the stable.
It had been about half an hour since he left the room, which was really a little longer.
So when they passed by the two Ottoman sentries in front of them, they stopped the two of them again.
"Why did you just go for so long!?"
An Ottoman soldier asked in a very stiff Montenian language.
Montenia is the mother tongue of Cepes, and after Liu Huaqiang received Tsepes's memory, he naturally mastered the language.
Liu Huaqiang was in his heart, and he still wanted to give the Ottoman soldiers who were questioning him a peach blossom.
But in reality, he couldn't do anything, so he could only glare at this guy fiercely.
"I'm sorry, but my stomach is really upset, maybe it's because that pesky groom's room is too dirty."
Liu Huaqiang casually found a reason, but the Ottomans did not suspect it, and impatiently asked Liu Huaqiang to hurry back to his room to sleep.
Back in the small black house, lying on the bed full of moldy straw, Liu Huaqiang began to feel homesick again.
Fortunately, his nose has adapted to the foul air of the fifteenth century.
When you need to be happy in suffering, this may be good news.
A few wooden pillars and two curtains of straw, in the humble stable, the Dawar knight lay back under the trough.
He didn't have that dream about food again, but was desperately thinking about who he would be the first to pull in after dawn.
Whether it was Kolota, the shoemaker of the village, or Morno, the cook of the baron's house, or the lame old man on the west side of the village, who was said to have fought against the Ottomans when he was young
Maybe I should go all over them, Lord Duke said, the more people you muster, the better.
In his mind, he went through all the people he knew, and Davar set a dozen goals in total.
Before he knew it, he was snoring again, and this time dreaming that he had become a hero who had become a world-renowned hero, sitting on a mountain of gold and munching on roast chicken.
People are constantly improving, and now that they have become knights, the things they think in their dreams are naturally more advanced.
