Chapter 216: Dungal
Dungar came all the way and saw the golden wheat fields that were clearly expected to be bountiful, and the clean roads, free of garbage and the stench of feces and urineโeven Brandon couldn't get rid of it completely.
And the people here seem to be more energetic than those in other places, with some joy on their faces, and they are not numbed by the torment of life day after day.
Although it was only a knight's domain, it was more endearing than the center of a viscounty he had ever seen.
He turned around in good faith and bowed down on one knee in front of Luo Ming, who pressed his sword to his shoulder, fulfilling his oath of allegiance.
In this gamble, Lomin has completely won the game, but Dungar does not feel that he has lost.
Loyalty to the young man in front of him must have a great future, which is also his luck, and it is a win-win situation.
Looking at the man in front of him who had sworn allegiance to him, Luo Ming remembered everything about him.
Dungal, the third son of a knight, was talented but not recognized, and was sent out by his family to earn a living on his own.
He once served in the royal army, and at the age of twenty-three he became the captain of a team of thirty men.
In this way, it is very likely that he will become an official general before the age of forty, accumulate military merits and be crowned a nobleman.
A baron also intended to marry his daughter to him.
It can be said that in those years, he completely opened the winning mode in life.
However, at the age of twenty-five, he was given a promotion order to go to a distant place to guard a castle for the royal family, and he could command a hundred local soldiers and hundreds of people nearby.
It wasn't until the next day that he was discovered by the mountain people, and it was already the third day when he was sent for treatment, and the one who treated him was only a small priest.
He had multiple fractures in his right leg and could no longer withstand the force, and if that were all, he would still be able to use a cane. And he didn't even feel it in his left foot - either he had to use two crutches or he had to use a wheelchair altogether.
Naturally, he couldn't charge into battle like this, and the army sent him away with a severance pay, and the marriage was completely ruined.
Although the injuries to his legs were not untreatable, he could never afford to pay for them.
is simply the protagonist of the divorce stream, and the resentment in his heart can be imagined.
And Luo Ming, as a "nobleman", appeared in front of him.
Of course, Luo Ming will not directly pay to help him heal his legs.
Login still agrees with Machiavelli's "Treatise on the Monarch" in some ways, such as taking it away once so that people are dissatisfied only once, and giving a little bit when giving grace, so that people can be grateful again and again.
Although his Cangyan does not have the ability to directly cure this addiction now, it is still not a big problem to make Dungal's legs and feet able to walk normally.
But this has to come step by step, and now Luo Ming just gave him a little treatment, so that he can take two steps out of the wheelchair in a short time.
Although it has only been treated for a small time, it has already given Dungar great hope that he has regained sensation in his left leg after losing sensation for more than a year, which makes him very grateful to Dade.
However, after all, he is a young genius, and he is always a little arrogant, although he is very grateful to Luo Ming, but if he wants him to be loyal to Luo Ming, it may be a little worse.
Originally, he just wanted to repay the favor and serve Luo Ming for a few years, and at the same time exchange his own services for Luo Ming to do further treatment for him.
But now he sees the hope of growing and thriving in Luo Ming's territory.
So, he decided to swear complete allegiance to Luo Ming - not just for the rest of his life, but for generations to come, until one of them was gone.
Of course, this oath was supposed to be made by the low-ranking nobles when they were loyal to the high-ranking nobles, and the subtext was that it was hoped that Luo Ming would reach a higher status than the knights, and Dungar himself would be made the new knight.
Luo Ming has no reason not to agree - this is like wishing him a promotion and fortune.
Other followers have also read this subtext to some extent, and have a little more hope for the future.
Sitting back in his wheelchair, Dungar immediately told Lockin about what he knew about the military.
โ...... Since the king wants to go to the wilderness within three years, he should do two things:
The first is to train elite soldiers, and the second is to train the whole people. โ
"The training of elite soldiers is used to fight tough battles in a down-to-earth manner, while the training of the whole people has multiple purposes and is also necessary for pioneering.
A small number of bandits, or weak alien harassment, and fierce beasts, if a large number of soldiers are used to kill them, it is a waste, and the second is that the elite soldiers will be tired of running around, which is not worth it.
And if the people have basic military training, they can deal with some minor troubles on their own.
It takes a lot of money, manpower and time to build high walls and castles. Before it is built, it is better to use people as a city - everyone is a soldier, and it will be difficult for ordinary enemies to attack.
And when the king wants to fight a big battle, these people can immediately be transformed into militia and incorporated into the army, which can be so powerful that it can scare off the kind of peasant soldiers that are temporarily brought in. And even if you can fight an enemy's elite soldiers with five militiamen, it must be a huge advantage. โ
"That's a good point. Luo Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Unless it is facing a strong enemy that is difficult to resist, the high walls and fortified cities often weaken people's fighting spirit, not to mention pioneering, and even if an enemy reconnaissance force is approaching the city, it may make hundreds of soldiers in the city dare not go out a step." โ
When the Qing army entered the customs, a large city in the Southern Ming Dynasty was only mixed with a few spies to open the city gate, let a few cavalry in, and let the officers and soldiers in the city begin to flee, which must be taken as a warning.
"Thank you for the compliment. Dungar continued, "As for elite soldiers, this is also my specialty, when my team of thirty people only had five veterans, I spent half a year to make them all look similar, and I couldn't tell who was new and who was old. Less than a year later, in addition to not seeing blood, the recruits have been completely on par with the veterans in daily drills. โ
Although it was only thirty people, the gold content was completely different - the thirty people under Dungar's command were completely off-duty professional soldiers, training and fighting every year in addition to vacation.
On the battlefield, even with the same weapons, these thirty people can fight a hundred peasant soldiers who are temporarily conscripted.
"It's a pity that my body is ...... When the king was conscripted, it was difficult for me to convince them alone. As he spoke, the excitement on Dungal's face vanished, and he let out a long sigh.
