Chapter 492: The Art of War of the Cloud Dynasty
The children of the knights were training in their own training grounds, and even in the early spring, when it was not hot, the brutal training still made them sweat profusely.
Before the selection of knights began, wandering knights from several nearby countries gathered here, and the children of the knights' families practiced riding training, sword fighting, and the use of weapons on war horses on the training ground.
As the children of the knights, they have received extremely strict training since they were young, and the children of the knights who can now be on the training ground are all over the age of sixteen.
They are physically able to withstand any tough training, and their fighting skills are not far from their parents'.
Trained since childhood, their combat movements and skills have long been engraved in their bones, except for the life-and-death struggle and tempering on the battlefield, they are no different from the knights who are serving in the Knights.
Their skills are better than most of the wandering knights, and this is the difference between orthodox knights and wandering knights.
The wandering knight is usually the second son who does not have the right to inherit the title and knighthood of the family, and as a child who cannot inherit the family business by nature, the lord or knight will certainly not train him vigorously, so as not to compete with the eldest son.
Therefore, these wandering knights are not the same as these trainee knights who are being trained, as the eldest son in the family, they are destined to inherit their father's title, so they receive the best training.
Maybe they don't have the experience of being in contact with the three sects and nine streams of life and death like the wandering knights, but in terms of physical strength and skills, they are far superior to the wandering knights.
William rode around on his horse, and when he arrived, William was very satisfied with the training momentum of these trainee knights.
In his opinion, through this selection, many probationary knights will come to the fore and become official knights of the Iron Cross before succeeding their father.
Passing by here, a large open space not far from it was the training camp of the Iron Cross Knights, and the training camps of William's army were next to each other.
The training camp of the Knights of the Iron Cross was next to the training camp of the Knights of the Iron Cross, and although the Knights of the Iron Cross were cavalry and needed a huge field to run horses, the Knights of the Denlenburg had a numerical advantage.
William was ready to be expanded, so this training ground could accommodate a lot of soldiers.
But even so, this huge training ground can only accommodate seven or eight thousand people to train at the same time, so it is still being expanded.
The training ground for archers and crossbowmen was different from this one, and there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air from their field, which was the shooting training in progress.
The crossbow is even better, it is not so difficult to operate, and it is difficult for the archer to complete the goal without a long time of training, and it will not be able to achieve strategic goals on the battlefield.
William's territory was a bustling scene, leaving the vicinity of the training ground, and without the order to keep it secret and forbid approaching, the number of pedestrians gradually increased.
The cobblestone roads were full of caravans, groups of farmers traveling to other places in groups, and a ten-man militia patrol could be seen on the road almost every twenty minutes, ensuring the safety of pedestrians on the road.
The farmers ploughed the fields, and with a longer period of vigorous traction, William's Spanish heavy plough turned the land that had been precipitated for a year soft.
Even a lot of arable land has been sown, and the idle laborers continue to reclaim the wasteland near the village with their oxen.
It was William's order, and it had not been canceled since he had taken possession of the realm seventeen years earlier.
After returning to the castle, Jia Yu went to William's study, and William had told him to find time to find him, and he came the next day.
This time, I came mainly to build a waterwheel, which can help water the farmland and play a very important role in increasing the yield.
Jia Yu had already typed the draft in his room, and the drawings of the waterwheel had been completed, so he took the parchment and went to William's study.
"My lord, this is the blueprint of the waterwheel!"
Jia Yu handed the parchment to William and said respectfully.
William looked at the parchment and found that the waterwheel was actually similar to the waterwheel he had designed, except that the accessories were much more complicated.
Looking at the complex design drawings of the waterwheel, William said with satisfaction: "You will be responsible for building the waterwheel where the territory needs it!" ”
"After this is done, you can take over the agricultural and engineering matters, I will tell Vidal, you can hand over it then!"
William had long wanted to divide the rights carefully, and this time there was an additional Jia Yu among his courtiers, which helped him in his thoughts.
Kenos is in charge of the domain, Jayu is in charge of agriculture and construction, Baron Reims is in charge of finances, and Tus and Ariel are in charge of the hidden forces.
The appointment and dismissal of the army and personnel were completely in the hands of William, and it can be said that the power of Denlenburg had been basically distributed.
Jia Yu listened to William's words, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, his efforts for so long were really not in vain, and the lord granted him such an important position so quickly.
William looked at Jia Yu, who was not shocked on the surface, but his eyes revealed the joy that could not be concealed, and said: "You must know that your identity is very important in the Holy Sect world, and your sudden position in a high position will definitely cause dissatisfaction among others, and you need to make achievements to show them!" ”
Jia Yu listened to William's teachings, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and said: "Please rest assured, Yu will do his best, and he will not give up!" ”
Before Jia Yu walked out, William suddenly asked again: "Nei, Shancun, what is his ability, I see that you seem to be good to him!" ”
Jia Yu bent down and said: "This person in the mountain village is upright, although he was born in a small country in Yingzhou, but he has been influenced by the Celestial Empire, and his family background is also a more prominent family in Yingzhou, so he is quite proficient in the art of war. ”
"If it weren't for the implication of King Liesu, I'm afraid he would have a great future!"
Jia Yu mentioned the mountain village and the king of Liesu, and his face was melancholy.
William nodded.
Xin Dao: "The art of war? The Art of War? Or what? ”
However, although his heart was full of doubts, he was still quite curious and eager for this art of war, after all, the familiar strategy of the art of war in his previous life, and the famous generals with full of wisdom all made him fascinated.
Therefore, whether the art of war here is as advanced as Sun Tzu's art of war, he intends to use this art of war as a reference for commanders to understand.
After sending Jia Yu away, William called Shan Cun over, looked at the military general in front of him who was only about one and a half meters tall, and asked: "Shan Village, I heard Jia Yu say that you are quite proficient in the art of war and the art of fine work?" ”
