014 The Military System in Europe

[Hahaha~~~ Kabatorovsky, Kaspersky! What an interesting name, and Katarina, an antivirus and a game hero name, I didn't expect the name of this body you possessed to be so weird. 】

The system elf laughed heartyly in Shu Zifeng's mind, just like a cute girl who had just watched a brain-dead funny soap opera, and was poked at the unaware 'laughing point'......

However, Shu Zifeng can always get some useful information from the mouth of the system elf: "You don't even know the family name of this body that my soul wears?" No wonder I didn't inherit the slightest memory of the previous person. ”

After the system elf heard Shu Zifeng's 'heart's words', the cheerful laughter stopped abruptly, and once again hidden, I don't know where to go to complain and vent......

For Kaba. The original name of Torovsky, Shu Zifeng does not have any so-called 'feeling', he is not a sentimental person, and after crossing over, he has to repay his parents and relatives in this world, as if his resurrection is all because of the merits of those ordinary people......

Shu Zifeng, whose parents have both passed away since he was a child, has not much softness in his heart.

After lamenting the perversion of the law of Grand Duke Yaroslav in his heart, Shu Zifeng keenly got two useful pieces of information from the mouth of this 'fat small' named Conrad.

The city of Yaroslas is not far from Dehrim, and the baron nobleman he killed is a minor nobleman under the command of Grand Duke Yaroroslas!

In the era when transportation is basically on the legs, even civilian hunters who often walk long distances are difficult to get out of the area where they live, and it may not be difficult to know that Shu Zifeng is wanted, but knowing the details of the punishment of Shu Zifeng's family relatives and sister, more than eighty percent of them are likely to be locals.

Moreover, according to the practice of the aristocratic system of the Muscovy, if a nobleman dies not due to 'normal factors' such as war, it is often handed over to the 'superior noble' to whom the nobleman belongs, or simply the family of the nobleman who died will take revenge.

In the aristocratic feudal system of white Europeans, knights are soldiers in the aristocratic system, and have the obligation to serve in the military with the subordinate nobles, and the nobles who are loyal to the knights need to give the knight class a certain fief to support their daily and wartime consumption, and provide security for the knight's life and fiefdom!

The feudal system is actually somewhat similar to the land recruitment system, except that the feudal land can be hereditary, and the knight class is equivalent to a formal aristocratic reserve, and can be promoted to a real nobleman through military merit!

It is precisely because the knights have the fiefdom that they will die to the nobles directly under them, and it is these knight classes who are the least afraid of death during the war, they flaunt themselves with loyalty and courage, and pay attention to the tempering of personal fighting skills, and rarely lay down their arms and surrender until the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

Because even if the knight class dies in battle, their heirs can inherit the fiefdom, but if they abandon their allegiance because of cowardice, the fief will be confiscated......

The knight class in Europe is really not much different from the samurai class in Japan, but Europe has a tradition of ransom, as long as it is not a nobleman who betrays his allegiance, it is not a shame to surrender on the battlefield and use the ransom to buy his own life.

This is also a measure to protect the property of knights in Europe, after all, it is not easy to cultivate a loyal warrior who is skilled in war and has been brainwashed by various knightly dogmas like an idiot since childhood, and it often takes more than ten years.

Civil wars between nobles rarely kill surrendered knights and nobles, on the one hand, for ransom, and on the other hand, for the sake of their own knights and even themselves in future wars, after being captured, they can be redeemed intact.

The knightly class belongs to the soldiers of the nobility, and the object of allegiance can be the nobles of any class, the knight can be loyal to the baron, and naturally can also be loyal to the viscount, earl, marquis, duke and even the king.

In addition to the allegiance of knights, the biggest difference between the big nobles and the small nobles is that each big nobleman will have several or more small nobles allegiance, and the small nobles will lead their knights, ordinary guard soldiers and countless cheap conscripts and cannon fodder to follow the big nobles in wartime. In the same way, the great nobles would follow the king in times of war.

The large and small nobles are equivalent to the junior officers and senior officers in the army, and the knight class is equivalent to the squad leader of the elite soldiers, and each knight will be followed by several or even a dozen subordinate soldiers.

It can be said that this was the main component of the European armies at this time, and of course, there would be a large number of mercenaries who worked only for money during the war.

As for the immediate guards of the great nobles or the king, they were filled by knights and soldiers who were directly loyal to them, mainly due to the feudal tradition of the Continental Fathers - the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals......

Although the king can control the great nobles under his command, order them to go into battle with him, and give them orders whenever and wherever he wants, the king cannot command the minor nobles and knightly guards under the command of the great nobles......

In other words, once a big nobleman has a different heart, he can make a beautiful counterattack on the battlefield and kill his own king!

Of course, the great nobles who did this were either madmen or heroes, because betraying their allegiances was an extremely bad performance on the European continent under the feudal system, and if they did not have the strength to overwhelm the heroes, they would inevitably fall into the end of a group of people attacking after a moment of refreshment.

The other nobles will howl excitedly, holding high the banner of avenging the king, and rush into the rebellious noble territory from all directions to carry out a war of partition and counterinsurgency that the big guys like to see......

It is rare to be able to openly annex the territories of other nobles, this kind of thing is rare, so naturally you must grasp it well!

Of course, if the strength of the rebellious nobles is so strong that people are afraid, I am afraid that it will not be a counterinsurgency war, but a civil war in the country!

If this great nobleman is strong against the sky, and even the civil war will not last, those nobles who know the law of the law of the jungle very well will surrender under the promise of retaining their fiefdoms.

The nobles' temperament is often measured by only two things: strength and money!

Money can hire a large number of mercenaries to fight for themselves, and it can also raise and buy enough food and grass materials to greatly expand the army, anyway, there are bad men in this world who can't get enough to eat, as long as they have money, they can pull up thousands of people and tens of thousands of people by shouting casually!

After Shu Zifeng got the news revealed by Conrad, a crazy plan suddenly appeared in his mind!
