In the darkness of night, the interior of the manor villa has been lit with bright and warm candles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The hosts! Welcome back! ”

As soon as Wu Ming returned to the villa, Amelia stepped forward, took off her robe for him softly, and robbed Beatrice next to her of her work, causing her to pout in dissatisfaction.

"Oh! What's for dinner today? ”

Wu Ming didn't feel the slightest feeling, but was glad that this woman could enter his role as soon as possible.

"The main course was roast lamb, onion soup and toasted bread, a bottle of wine, and the olive oil from our estate was good......"

"Hmm!"

Wu Ming sat in the master's position, watching Amelia instruct the maid to set up the dishes and deliver the meal, she was also wearing a maid costume, and her every move was very gentle and gentle like a mature woman.

"Godfather!"

Cialis and Cecil saluted Wu Ming, and they were the only ones who were qualified to accompany him to dine together.

"Amelia!"

After Wu Ming ate it, the silver soup spoon tapped: "I'm going to appoint Qiao Fu as the captain of my militia and train more than thirty stick boys for me to come out!" ”

"My master!"

Amelia hesitated: "This may delay their farming!" ”

"So, I will make amends, and I will choose to mobilize after the spring ploughing is over!" Wu Ming replied with a smile.

"Mobilization? Is there going to be war again? ”

Amelia is very scared about this because she has just lost her husband in the last war and does not want to lose her stable life because of another war.

"No, it's just banditry! The bandits of the Tucker Mountains, as well as the wild people, have come to harass my territory and plunder my people, and as a lord, this is an unbearable shame! ”

Wu Ming declared: "I will fight back fiercely, kill their warriors, snatch their women back, and turn them into our serfs!" Labor for us to make amends for our sins! ”

Well, this is actually a crime that wants to be added, and Wu Ming essentially wants to replenish the manpower of the territory.

"However, I ordered Joff to take stock of our storeroom, only to receive the disappointing news that he had found only five rusty swords, three longbows, and a dozen pikes and a spear in the entire arsenal, not even a single piece of leather armor......

Wu Ming spread out his hands.

"I'm so sorry!"

Amelia grabbed the hem of her skirt crampedly with both hands: "My husband has already taken a lot of equipment with him when he set out on the expedition...... If you need new weapons, we may be able to get enough silver thalers to buy them after this year's grape harvest. ”

"I don't mean to blame you, but I want to state a fact, and if we are armed by the sale of grapes and olives, I am afraid that if we want to fight the savages, I am afraid we will have to wait until the years after tomorrow!"

Wu Ming shook his head and said, "I brought five hundred Jindelong, you and Qiao Fu take them, go to the nearest city, and buy these equipment back!" ”

He handed Amelia a piece of parchment.

These properties are all gifts from Alfred, and Wu Ming is not a miser, so he will naturally not miss it if he can use it to arm himself.

Amelia took the parchment, and saw that it was written: 'Five pieces of leather armor, most suitable for iron, twenty cross-swords, fifty javelins, ten longbows, a thousand arrows, some oil, and some ropes......

"Okay, what else do you have to say?"

"Be quick, and you can ask Joff to inquire about the way to buy a bow and crossbow, don't be stingy with Kindron, don't ask me again if it's not enough!"

Wu Ming waved his hand, looking quite wealthy.

"I see!"

Amelia replied, though the equipment seemed to her to be enough to arm a regular army of a hundred men.

A few days later, Wu Ming stood on the playground and watched as the farmers came to train at dusk.

They are all quite shrewd, although Wu Ming is voluntary, as long as he trains for a certain period of time, he can get a loaf of bread, and even come with a dinner!

The value in this naturally makes them a little reluctant, and they come every day, and gradually form a habit.

The seeds of the army of the future are here.

On the school grounds, there was also a big pot boiling, which was thick with fish, wild vegetables, and pastries, Wu Ming deliberately added a lot of oil and salt to it, and that kind of unstingy attitude made Amelia feel very distressed.

Any high-intensity training without adequate food and meat is a hooligan! Wu Ming naturally wouldn't do this.

Of course, he didn't expect much from his gang of farmers, as long as they could understand simple commands, be familiar with the weapons in hand, and know a certain array, and couldn't ask for more.

This is a worse world, it doesn't matter if your own army is bad, it's okay to be stronger than other savages and lords.

"Your Lord!"

Qiao Fu ordered the militia below to line up, came to Wu Ming and saluted with his right fist on his chest: "The militia brigade has been assembled, there are a total of thirty-seven soldiers!" ”

"Good!"

Although after watching the training, it can be described as miserable, but compared to their previous performance, Wu Ming can no longer ask for more.

"Disband!"

With his order, the team dispersed in a hurry, and came to the edge of the cauldron, where each person was given a bowl of hot chowder soup and a loaf of oatmeal bread, and squatted directly on the ground and started.

Wu Ming issued an order that oat bread could be taken home, but the chowder soup had to be eaten here!

This is to prevent the militia from taking dinner home for their families to enjoy as soon as they get it, after all, it contains precious salt, meat, and oil! This would not achieve his goal of increasing the physical fitness of the militia, so he strictly ordered it not to do so, but at the same time, he opened his mouth so that the older teenagers of various families could also come to train together and have a good meal.

To be honest, Wu Ming's expectations for these teenagers are a little higher.

"Joff!"

He looked at the old soldier next to him: "What do you think of those teenagers?" ”

"It's young...... Very immature! ”

Joff thought for a moment and used two adjectives.

He looked at the energetic teenagers with some confusion, not understanding why Wu Ming said this.

"Teach them the tricks I taught you, try them first!"

What Wu Ming said was still the same set of things that he taught Ava, but in Qiaofu's place, he organized it more systematically, and only passed on part of it at this time.

If you spill it in one go, it's too worthless, after all, it's a pretty good way to train knights.

"That's a cheap bunch of cubs!"

There was jealousy in the eyes of Joff when he looked at the teenagers, but he knew the weight of what Professor Wu Ming had given him.

Think about how much he suffered in order to get a little warrior trick when he first went out?

And now, they got it by a little dexterity.

"Let them try it first, and if they really have something to do, then bring him to me!"

This is just a simple exercise method at the beginning, but if you can stick to it and have understanding, you will gradually be different from mortals and excel.

In Wu Ming's view, this is a simple way of selection and screening.

Of course, with the population and area of his territory, no matter how hard he cultivates his internal skills, the most important thing is to go out to plunder resources, whether it is population, minerals, gold coins, or markets...... Only in this way can we develop at the fastest speed.

Therefore, two months later, this militia squad was formed, and Wu Ming couldn't wait to lead them on the expedition.

"I know that many of you are on the battlefield for the first time!"

He stood on the high platform, looked at the many faces below with different expressions, but could not hide their uneasiness, and said loudly: "But the leather armor you wear, the knives, guns, bows and arrows you hold in your hands are all piled up with Jindelon one by one, and your opponents are just a group of wild people and robbers in fur!" ”

"The well-equipped and experienced training are not comparable to them, what are you worried about?"

An excellent commander can inspire morale with words, and Wu Ming obviously wants to go one step further.

"I promise in the name of my lord that once you have made a meritorious service, you will not only become a free citizen, but even that piece of land, I will issue a certificate that will make it truly yours! Even if you are killed or wounded in battle, the manor will give you or your family a pension! ”

This reward and assurance immediately caused a commotion in the crowd, and soon the uneasiness in their eyes subsided, but what emerged was longing! The desire to change your own destiny!

Become a freedman and own a land that is truly your own!

This is simply a lifetime of hope for these serfs! What's more, even if they are dead or even disabled, they have no worries, so what are they afraid of?

There is nothing to lose, so why not fight it, maybe the children and grandchildren will have the opportunity to become human beings?

"Whew!"

From the first militia onwards, I don't know who it was, they all brandished their weapons and began to roar, that kind of look, which made Amelia watching from the side very trance.

She knew that what appeared in front of her was no longer the cowering farmers, but a group of real soldiers who had been trained!

"I'll take thirty people with me this time!"

Wu Ming said to Amelia at this time: "The rest of the affairs in the territory will be handed over to you!" ”

Ordinary lords are naturally not as leisurely as him, in fact, there are a lot of things in the territory, and most of them are trivial things.

As a lord, he usually dealt with the dispute between two serfs in the manor court.

Wu Ming didn't bother to do these short things in the family, but Amelia was very handy, and he was very satisfied with being able to handle them in an orderly manner.

After explaining the affairs of the territory, Wu Ming stepped on his war horse and shouted: "Go on the expedition!" ”

"Roar!"

The soldier roared, with an eager expression on his face, and followed the horse out of the manor and set out on the journey.
