228 Shen Hengdou turn 8
What Baroness Brad, who claims to be the daughter of Count Fisher, must be talking nonsense, and it is not for nothing that Spee makes such a judgment, look, so many soldiers in helmets! Who but the king could call up so many soldiers with helmets?
Although in order to resist the conscription of the northerners, the conscription order was that everyone should bring their own helmet, but referring to the implementation of the previous order that "all priests must be single", the result of this "bring your own helmet" can be imagined...... The infantrymen recruited from the peasants had no iron weapons and carried a hardwood club to the battlefield, so let them bring their own iron helmets? Are you kidding.
In a country where even knights don't always have a set of armor, being able to wear a helmet is definitely a symbol of professionalism and good luck!
Spee once thought that the army was the kind he had seen, the knights were wearing hundreds of armor, the infantry, and there was a helmet that was the ancestor of Jide, as for the weapons, whether it was knights or infantry, there were all kinds of everything, and the knights were stronger than the infantry because their weapons were metal whether they were steel or bronze, and the infantry had many equipment that was comparable to the soldiers of the Inca Kingdom, and they were pulled out separately to make people not believe that they were soldiers of the Old World, I don't believe that their country has been making iron for more than a thousand years.
Since the collapse of the ancient empire, the continuous wars and the plundering of robbers from all walks of life have caused many old cities to be reduced to ruins along with their industries, many fertile fields have been abandoned, and many areas that used to be densely populated have not even been able to find a single herdsman. In some places, it has come to naught. Troubled times may promote technological progress, but that requires a solid rear. Otherwise, even military technology will take a big step back.
And now the army appeared in front of him. The steps are the same, the armor is bright and neat, and even the weapons are so neat - yet they say that they are the personal soldiers of the Count of Fisher?
This must be nonsense!
He said to Luo Yi angrily: "Madam, the battlefield is not a place for women to joke, please take me to meet your master immediately." ”
"I'm not kidding, I'm the commander in chief of this army." Luo Yi also replied angrily, "What? Can't a woman lead a soldier? ”
"Madame!" "Those northerners are heading straight for the Great Abbey, the Great Abbey! You know what? The resting place of the evangelists. Neustria, the most sacred of the sacred places, is now under siege by those evil and terrible northerners, and you are joking with me! Do you know what a terrible sin it would be if a great monastery fell into the hands of the infidels? Take me to your master! ”
"I am my own master!" Not to be outdone, Luo Yi roared back, "This army is mine, it's mine!" Then she turned her head in a grand manner and ordered, "Let's go!" Regardless of this silly hat! ”
In fact, while they were talking, the entire army was still advancing, and Luo Yi just ordered the people who were guarding her to keep moving forward regardless of Spee.
"Wow, yes. Sexism is so annoying! Luo Yi yelled into Jason's ear, "That stupid hat won't tell me anything!" He felt like I had a master for sure! He thinks I can't be the master! He looked at me like a kitten and a puppy! ”
"Well, that's usually the case." "Everybody has his lord, that's what the law says. ”
"Hmph." After a while. Luo Yi said, "He always asks the king's rescuers or something. It is also said that the northerners went to the great monastery. ”
"If it weren't for our hussars dragging them down, they would probably have been robbing the Grand Abbey. What a mistake! Jason sighed, "They should have been let go and robbed the Great Abbey first, and then robbed them!" What a good deal, but it's a pity...... Wrong! It seems that they have already reported to the king, and the king will send troops...... Ah! What a good opportunity, let them fight first, and we will take the opportunity to harvest ......"
"What? Take advantage of the harvest? Luo Yi was surprised, "The king's soldiers are here, and we take the opportunity to harvest?" ”
"Why not?" Jason was also surprised, "They fight to defeat both, and then take the opportunity to push the two of them, Niustria is not the strongest of you, a good chance to ascend the throne!" ”
"Enthronement?"
"Be the Queen of Neustria, Orthodox ......"
"Is this still orthodox?" Luo Yi's jaw was about to hit the ground, isn't this the yellow robe...... This, is the strong soldier the Son of Heaven?
"There are many people who are dissatisfied with the Duke of Ulrich, they will support you, you are pure Neustrian blood," said Jason, "the genealogy is carefully searched, you must have been married to the royal family, it doesn't matter if the blood is far away, it is all Newstrian blood......"
"You're thinking too much, I don't have the plan to do that at the moment." Luo Yi was busy putting her chin back.
"Not that plan?" Jason asked, "Are you going to pay the marriage tax?" That's a lot of money! ”
"Marriage tax? What Marriage Tax? Didn't I cancel the marriage tax? ”
"What? Don't you know that a female lord has to pay money to her lord when she gets married? ”
"Isn't it the serfs who pay this money?"
"Hey, in Kolomna, even serfs don't necessarily pay this money, but in Neustria, a female lord has to pay a marriage tax when she gets married (note)...... You don't know? ”
"......" Luo Yi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "But I don't plan to get married!" ”
Oh god, this mistress of his is not stupid to look at, sometimes quite shrewd, how can he be so lacking in common sense in this regard, it is said that a woman is always more concerned about marriage than a big man like him, "In our Neustria, the lord has the right to appoint relatives to every widow under his rule, before you were not a real lord, and no one bothered to do this without a territory, but now that you are, there must be many people who will apply to the king......"
"What!" The devil's terrible scream resounded through the sky, shaking off several leaves beside the road.
"Give me a drink! Hurry up! Abu shouted to his entourage, the old mercenary had rarely been so out of shape, but he suddenly remembered the words of a pilgrim that anything could happen in Turnest...... Right now...... No, he'll have to have a few more drinks to calm down, what's this one that appears in front of them? He felt like he was shaking, "Hey, bring the wine bag!" Did you hear that? ”
"Ah, yes! Be! His attendants withdrew their gaze when they heard their master's shout, while the rest of the ship remained open-mouthed. (To be continued......)
PS: Note: In medieval Europe, because of the inconsistency of the relationship, the laws of various countries are different, for example, in England, the marriage tax is limited to serfs, and some estates are charged to the man, some estates are collected from the woman, and some estates are not charged, while in Scotland and Wales, not only serfs, but even free noble female lords have to pay marriage tax to their lords when they get married
