Since there is no problem with the daily work, the little Earl Tang has to find a way to start tossing his peasants. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first is his off-duty soldiers, these off-duty soldiers don't have to worry about Count Xiao Tang, because it has both recruits and veterans in it, and if there are recruits who don't train hard, then the veterans themselves will whip him hard.

Therefore, the Count of Little Tang was mainly to train and recruit peasant soldiers.

Conscription of peasant soldiers - training them is similar to training super-pikemen at the beginning, the main thing is to fight, fight, and fight, if there is disobedience, those who do not obey discipline are beaten, those who do not follow the discipline are beaten, and those who are deformed are still beaten, and so on and so on, and soon these peasant soldiers will know what to do.

In addition, these jobs, including the work of training peasant soldiers, Count Xiao Tang did not personally participate in or participated very little, and the work of training peasant soldiers was all done by his students, so he asked the students to organize fifty people from their respective teams to start training, and Count Xiao Tang also organized fifty people to start training.

When the students saw what Count Tang had done, they knew what they should do too, and they learned a trick from Count Tang, so they went back to practice it in their own squad - of course, this kind of Dong Shi is very, very easy to make mistakes, and may even make a lot of jokes, but Count Tang didn't expect them to be able to produce any combat effectiveness this winter, and the so-called training is only for these students to gain experience - experience, those so-called great commanders, Except for a few guys who were born with strange brains and opened holes, the others are not experienced!

But as soon as the training began, several elected representatives of the free people, usually the elders of those villages, approached Count Don Jr.

They begged the Count of Don to make it clear that this military training was not part of servitude, for there was a precedent for the nobles to condemn the freedmen to serfs a few generations later.

Count Xiao Tang said that this is naturally not part of servitude, he also wants to liberate the serfs and the productive forces, how can there be so many more serfs for no reason.

Moreover, such military training ended in the spring.

Spring ploughing and farming are busy, so they can't do these things in the first place.

Besides, military training is very hard, very hard, and at the beginning, if they were not given a "limited time" carrot to hang in front of their eyes, how could they stand it?

While the military training was underway, another piece of good news spread.

Crane, this bold, proud, and ambitious merchant, took the 200 gold coins given to him by Count Don Jr., and the name of Count Don Jr., and negotiated business with a dozen big merchants in one go, and signed contracts with them separately - this fellow did not even report the matter to Count Don!

You must know that this merchant is using the name of Count Xiao Tang, that is to say, if there is an accident, the damage is the honor of Count Xiao Tang, that is to say, he is equivalent to forcing a nobleman to make him a scapegoat, even now, such a person will be punished by law, and it will be light to behead in the Middle Ages!

So the Count of Don Jr. finally gave him twenty lashes as punishment, and kept him out of bed for a month, and then rewarded him with 100 gold coins and the position of treasurer he expected.

Because of Klein, although this guy is bold, his ability is just as outstanding, and the contract he signed is indeed fantastic!

Just talking about honey, this guy actually got the right to bid, and only big businessmen with enough value can get it, and these big businessmen, they want to prove that they have enough value, and they also have to pay for this bidding right.

He also made a pact with the merchants, who were able to bring much-needed commodities to Desmond, such as salt, iron, or experienced craftsmen or slaves, then the merchants would receive a preferential offer, which was usually much larger than the gold coins.

Therefore, in order to obtain this discount, the merchants will go all over the mountains and collect a large number of materials needed by the little Tang Count in exchange for this discount. And the Count of Little Tang, although his income decreased, he obtained more precious skilled craftsmen who sometimes could not be bought even with money.

What is the most valuable? Talent is the most valuable.

The current Earl Don Jr. understands this truth very deeply, so he agrees with Klein's contract with both hands.

So in December, a few Jewish merchants got a dozen pure-blooded horses from England and smuggled them to Desmond.

The original horses in Desmond's territory were all cold-blooded horses, with thick skeletons and heavy personalities, and they looked like a tall horse.

Although Grand Duke Murchid was very poor at commanding, his hoplites still achieved impressive results. And the little Earl Tang, who has seen the majesty of the heavy cavalry cluster charge, if he wants to form a cavalry by himself, he needs a hot-blooded horse.

The hot-blooded horse is the most exciting horse, the most prone to excitement and impulsiveness, the most sensitive personality, and the most susceptible to stimulation by external factors! At the same time, the hot-blooded horse is also the fastest horse, so in modern times, it is often used as a racing horse.

Later, when Genghis Khan's iron cavalry swept the world, the Mongolian cavalry rode such a hot-blooded horse.

Therefore, the little Count Tang was desperate to get such a hot horse.

Originally, such hot-blooded horses were found in England next door, and more than ten years ago, there was no need to smuggle them, just buy them in the open. However, after William the Conqueror conquered England, in order to ensure the superiority of the Norman cavalry, King William strictly forbade the export of any war horses, so now if you want to get bloody horses, you can only rely on smuggling.

As soon as these dozen hot-blooded horses arrived, the original stallions in the herd immediately fell into bad luck, and all of them became eunuchs.

In the past, when people did not know that they had to breed horses, horses were good and bad, and the cavalry could not keep a pace when charging, and most importantly, the quality of the horses gradually decreased.

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, the products eliminated by nature, of course, are the same as their ancestors in the wild, the speed is secondary, the ability to tolerate roughage and hunger, and the thick skin and meat are important.

Now it is December, and in another three months, when spring arrives, and the animals have reached the season of estrus, these dozen or so hot-blooded horses must be living a very "sexual" life until they want to vomit.

But even if they vomit, as long as the estrus period has not passed, the little Count Tang forces them, even if I ask you to lift you up, you have to give me to get the mare pregnant.

―――――――――――― Episode: The Grand Duke's Revenge (3) ――――――――

The military was at its peak.

Duke Eddard's own 2,300 soldiers, and the 800 soldiers taken by Archduke Mulchid from Dublin, totaled 3,100, including 500 hoplites, which was already unrivaled in the whole of Ireland, enough to slaughter the city and destroy the country.

Now, however, it was directed at Prince Mulcheltci, and was less than two days away from Limerick, the key point of North Munster.

The inhabitants of Limerick had already taken the lightest of their valuables and fled into the mountains to hide.

On the opposite side of the two dukes was the army that Prince Mulcheltch had put together with all his might, a total of 2,800 men, including 1,500 mercenaries from the Irish trade unions, 500 mercenaries of other large and small miscellaneous, and 800 soldiers who originally belonged to the Grand Duke of Mulchid.

On paper, Prince Mulcheltci still has a fight, but everyone knows that he has already lost.

The mercenaries will certainly not do their best, they can retreat after two percent of the casualties, which is considered to be doing their duty as mercenaries. And His Royal Highness the Prince's own 800 soldiers, I don't know how many of them are the shadows of the second prince Diyalmat!

Even if we assume that these soldiers are loyal and can not retreat, it will at most bring a little more casualty report to the two Grand Dukes, and it will not turn the tide of the battle.

And, let's talk about Prince Murcheltč himself, who was so afraid of his father that he had no morale and no desire to fight, and that the army had already lost before the war began.

"So, even if my mission here is over, the Grand Duke of Mulchid's father and son are killing each other, and the Dukedom of Munster is losing most of its strength, I can be regarded as living up to the lord's expectations of me."

At that time, Priest Philip thought so, so he took advantage of the darkness of the night to steal a horse and headed straight for Desmond.
