Chapter 10: The Attack on the Monastery

It was the first time that the Count of Don Jr. had been so far away from his castle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is no sense of security, yes, no security, in this Middle Ages, separated from his hometown by more than a thousand years, watching the knights defecate casually every day, eating hard bread that can be used to kill, wearing a needle-pricked linen garment that has not removed the thorns, to be honest, it is difficult for the little Count Tang to find a sense of belonging, a person who does not even have a place to belong, what sense of security does he talk about?

But now, well, Count Don looked around, at least the group of knights around him had a green opinion of him - that is, there was no negative affection, and Count Don felt that it was much safer to be with these knights than to stay in the castle. What's more, robbing the monastery, he doesn't personally lead the team, how does he know if someone will steal it! With the discipline of this group of knights, Count Don felt that it was 100 percent, no, 10,000 percent.

But after only half a day, Count Don regretted it.

What if someone swallows it privately? It is impossible to swallow them all, these knights still have to give him some face, he can always get a little money, and he doesn't have to suffer this crime.

At the beginning, Count Tang always looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the castle in a daze, but now he misses his castle full of and urine.

So people, it's really a cheap animal, isn't it just that the road is not good, isn't it just that there are more potholes on the road, isn't it just that the body is almost upside down, what's the big deal?

But Nima, it's all a pit!

I have heard that the road that the beast walks is called the beast road, and when people walk on the beast road, it becomes a humane, and the road is paved with fine sand and red rock, and compacted, and it becomes a road; But this is a place full of pits, so I guess it can only be called a pit.

Having said that, it's a miracle that the horse hasn't stumbled on such a pitted road until now.

The Count of Don was depressed at the thought of his lordship's life—and to lie tightly on his horse's back, and to save himself from being thrown down.

How do you find a little balance?

Go and see the people who are less fortunate than yourself.

There is happiness only by comparison!

For example, the carriage in front of it, presumably that belonged to a merchant who was rarely seen in Desmond, flipped into the ditch.

"God forbid!" The knights let out an exclamation.

Then Count Don saw the knights, and their servants, rushing up to pick up the goods that had been dropped underground—which could somehow balance Count Don's mind. Anyway, although this group of knights defecates everywhere, although they never bathe and their bodies are full of lice, although they are all flat-headed, but, but everyone is a living Lei Feng! Look at how active people are and how fast they run! The knight of Alcoba, in particular, was the first to rush to the carriage as a man of kind attributes.

But, what's the matter with that merchant howling on the ground and begging you to spare him?

You guys, why are you giggling and just putting the goods on your own horse?

Aren't you robbing? Isn't it really a robbery? It opened before it reached the monastery, hey!

What the? The law says that everything that is sprinkled on the earth belongs to the lord?

It turns out that you are all still acting according to the law, and you are all law-abiding citizens and law-abiding nobles?! There are so many pits on the road that you still dug in order to turn over more cars and drop more goods?! All the nobles of Ireland do this?!

This...... This...... This damn era!

I said how I never saw a few merchants! It turned out to be a good thing you did!

But the knights and their retinue are praising the gods' blessings, and if they have encountered such a good thing before it has even opened, the robbery of the monastery must have gone more smoothly today!

But doesn't Count Don think that God and his old man will bless a group of people who are about to rob his house?--or rather, the people of the palace, whether God and his old man have lived there or not, it is nominally his old man's property! Besides, robbing a merchant is not a rich merchant but a poor traveling merchant, and the little Earl Tang who decided to rob the monastery before can comfort himself by robbing the rich and helping the poor, and now what is he going to use to numb his mind?

"Give it back to him." Count Don Jr. said.

Then he immediately felt the unfriendly gaze of his men.

They looked at him as if they had seen a robber.

Count Don Jr.: "......"

Well, I really robbed them, robbed theirs...... Income from labor? Moving goods from the ground to the horse is considered labor, isn't it?

"Uh...... Gentlemen, don't forget that we have another big operation to wait, and now load the goods on the horse, what will we do when the horses are tired? Besides, the things in 'that place' must be much better than these, and if they are full now, how will they be loaded later? ”

The knights did not speak, but their attitude softened a little.

Seeing the effect, Count Tang hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said, "The loss of these goods this time, when our big operation is over, I will return it to you twice as much when we return to the castle." ”

It turns out that they will not lose their income, and they can get a little more, and what the lord said is quite reasonable, the gold, silver and jewels in the monastery are waiting for them! It's full now, what will happen later?

The knights exchanged glances with each other, nodded in satisfaction, and then heard the knight of Alcoba greet, "What are you waiting for?" You fools! Didn't you hear the lord? Give your stuff back and pick up the wagon! ”

"Huh-" Count Xiao Tang let out a sigh of relief, it seems that he has flickered over, and he has also preserved his only remaining discipline and conscience, but this price, maybe he will have to bleed again, as for the grateful cry and words of the merchant behind him, just pretend not to hear it for the time being, Count Xiao Tang doesn't want to bleed again.

In short, after a storm that was by no means friendly, and nothing happened along the way, the men finally reached a mound less than ten miles in front of the monastery before nightfall, where they lit a fire and cooked their meals, and waited until midnight to make a raid.

The reason why I stayed so close was because of the reality that I couldn't ride a horse late at night.

The road conditions of this era, have just been introduced, potholes, pits, is really pitted to nothing to say, the day is noon is just the sun and you should be careful not to fall into the pit, not to mention the night horse raid, I am afraid that the horse has not yet arrived.

So at the beginning, the knights all had the idea of riding horses to reach their destination, and then dismount to fight, these knights who had experienced combat training since childhood all believed that even if their martial arts were dismounted and fought on foot, no one would be able to defeat them - not to mention, foot combat was more in line with the fighting style of the group of infidels in the north, and this was also the reason why they deliberately chose to raid at night, otherwise it would be dark at night, even if they were knights, they would not want to fight the enemy at such a time!

In addition, it is worth mentioning that there is no village gathering place next to the monastery, because the monastery regards this area, including the surrounding thousands of acres of land, as its territory, and in the future, when the monastery has more people and expands, it can establish a parish at any time, and the abbot can be promoted to bishop!

Since there are such practical considerations, it is certain that their own private property, the thousands of acres of land around it, cannot be shared with the lowliest peasants, and therefore, although the monastery is now less than a hundred acres in size, they would rather give away the surrounding fields than give them to the peasants - of course, if the peasants wish to cultivate them, as long as they ' If you voluntarily come to be a happy slave of God, you can enjoy a happy life of working from 5 o'clock in the morning until dark, and eating a piece of black leba every day!

Note 1: Replying to Zero1234: After listening to your words, I went back and looked through the information and found that I remembered it wrong. I was supposed to write about the Second Crusade (1147-1149), but it turned out to be a hundred years earlier, in the same era as William the Conqueror (1027-1087), and I apologize to you, and to all those who read this book.

But the book has already been published, and William the Conqueror is one of the more important characters in the outline of the second volume, so I can't change it, so please read it on, and if I have any mistakes, you are welcome to correct them.

Note 2: I originally wanted to reply individually, but I don't know why I can't comment, is it because my level is not enough or something else? Does anyone know how to fix it?
