Chapter 269: Borrowing Soldiers (I)
Chapter 269: Borrowing Soldiers
Romon stepped out the door. Take a deep breath of fresh air.
The fields outside are barren, but without human farming, the fields are not full of life, even in September. If you look at it, you can already see the grass growing in the fields and some wildflowers that bloom in autumn, giving people a sense of nature.
Romon was waiting. Lu Lun is dining
The Lulun scholars had arrived last night, and at this time, they were enjoying the last bit of horse meat, and bread
Although these are not very rich, but the town of Rika, which has only just gone through the catastrophe, has these is not bad.
The Lulun scholar also understood this, and after enjoying the breakfast, he went out, and sure enough, it was just outside the town of Rika. Saw Romon.
"Your Excellency!"
"Did you come back from the city, what happened?" asked RomΓ³n.
The Lulun scholar pondered a little and remembered this situation
In the square, the man who was covered in plate armor and wore a full-hooded feather helmet held a spear five meters long, held a shield obliquely, and a long sword at his waist. Riding a knight with the blood of an earth-walking dragon.
The Knights of the Holy Sword, the Knights of the Fearless, the Knights of the Rock, the Knights of the Elder, and the knights and squires of the entire three knights slowly passed through the streets and gathered in the square.
"My lord, Viscount Eagle-Edel of the city of Aps, as for the Knights of Edel who mobilized himself, there are eleven religious knights and a knightly order composed of nobles. Thinking of this, Lu Lun slowly spit out a sentence: "The viscount, as the supreme lord of this place, has already issued a noble summoning order. β
Seeing Luo Meng's eyebrows jump, this Lulun scholar said with a smile: "Baron above!"
As he spoke, he introduced the specific situation one by one.
"Is it happening so fast?" Romon rubbed his brow and breathed a sigh of relief.
Romon thought for a moment. But without continuing on the topic, he pointed to a team not far away: "This is a small group of infantry that I recently transferred, you see." β
Lulun scholars watched, first of all, soldiers.
The soldier wore a standard suit with leather armor and weapons hanging from his waist
γ
And ten soldiers. There was a squad leader who was wearing chain mail, tall and holding a long sword, which was intimidating.
Lu Lun scholars finished reading. He said, "My lord, do you want to turn this into a standard military system?"
"Yes, this is an infantry squadron, and a spear squadron, and a crossbow squadron!" Romon said: "Look at that squad leader, it was specifically found out, the captain who was originally in the army, can train standard infantry." β
"Isn't this too high?" asked the scholar Lu Lun with a frown, all the soldiers had leather armor, which was not inferior to the treatment of the kingdom's standard army, not to mention chain mail.
"In the future, soldiers will have twenty acres of soldiers, and after accumulating meritorious deeds, they can increase, so soldiers must bring their own standard weapons, and serve all year round, but there is a salary subsidy during the service period. β
"I am not allowed to divide the seal directly. The best ones are selected from among the soldiers to be the squad leader, and they are given three times the salary. Luo Meng said, after a period of thinking, Luo Meng understood the advantages and disadvantages of the feudal system and the Chinese centralized system.
The biggest problem of the centralized system in China is that the military armament is too dependent on civilian officials, so as time passes, it will inevitably lead to relaxation.
So for the soldiers. Giving small pieces of minions and bringing their own weapons is the king's way, which is to avoid the slackening of armaments caused by the deduction of food in the future.
However, the most important thing about the subordinate system is that the lord lacks the necessary control, and that he was originally an armed subordinate, but gradually became a village lieutenant, and this shortcoming has been exposed.
Therefore, the small number of subordinate classes, on the one hand, are hereditary servants who have accumulated more than fifty acres of merit, and on the other hand, they select from among the soldiers warriors who are strong in martial arts and have reached the fourth rank, so that they can take care of loyalty and tradition at the same time, and promote trustworthy and powerful warriors.
Scholar Lu Lun nodded, understood the meaning, and said, "My lord, just like this, the weapons and equipment you invested in for the first time will be a lot!"
Romon took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter, let's go back, I'll show you something."
In his current capacity, Romon lives in the town of Rika, which of course is the Lord's Villa, which was originally where the Baron lived.
Passing through, we came to the small living room.
It's only September. Not far away, under the fireplace, there was a pile of humble wood, but it was not lit, and it was estimated that it would be lit in October.
The villa was no different from most ordinary villas, with several sofas around the fireplace, covered with thick cashmere, and a table with a candlestick in the middle.
"Sit down, look at these!" Reclining on the couch, Romon closed his eyes gently.
Scholar Lu Lun sat down, and saw the things on the table, first of all, a box, which was full of yellow and shiny gold coins, Lu Lun looked at it, and estimated it. Here are about 5,000 gold coins.
The second box. Inside is a collection of jewels, which have been selected. They are all high-quality products, and the Lulun scholar took out one casually, checked it, and nodded
Finally, there is something like a brick, and people who don't know its value will indeed be disappointed in it.
But Lu Lulun's eyes lit up.
First of all, I looked at the appearance, and saw that the shape of the appearance was flat, the edges of the four corners were distinct, the thickness was uniform, and the brick surface was oily and black.
Scholar Lu Lun nodded, and at this time, the fragrance was wafting outside. A servant came in with a tea set.
The scholar of Lulun glanced at it, did not speak, and used a knife to cut a small piece on the tea brick, grind it, mix it with boiling milk, and finally add honey. And dot with a drop of mint.
After it was finished, the milk tea was red in color and had a high aroma, Lu Lun took a sip and felt a strong taste.
"Good tea bricks, even if they are not the best, can be rated as the top grade." Scholar Lu Lun let out a sigh. said. His eyes were blazing and he looked at the large tea bricks on the table, which had not been touched.
From the times to the present, a large number of scholars, nobles, and mages like tea.
Not to mention it out of elegance, priests and mages, especially mages, are not allowed to drink alcohol at will, because alcohol affects the spirit, and the spirit directly affects the success and failure of spells, even coffee is relatively speaking. The irritation is too high, and only the mild refreshing tea is particularly popular.
Of course. There is no market for Chinese-style weak tea, and only tea bricks with high aroma and strong taste are welcome.
These large tea bricks, generally speaking, are cut into small pieces of one inch and sold to priests and mages, the price is extremely expensive, Lu Lun did not expect that Luo Meng actually has so many tea bricks, at a glance, there are thirty pieces!
"Your Excellency. What do you command?" Of course, it's not to take it out and take a look, Lulun scholars admire Romon very much.
In times of war, although the value of gold coins was somewhat depreciated, it was still the most important currency, and it was the favorite of all middle and lower class people.
Although the value of jewelry was somewhat depreciated during the war, the fine products were still able to satisfy some nobles who loved jewelry, especially ladies.
As for these high-grade tea bricks with high aroma and rich taste, they are the hard currency that opens up priests and mages, as well as those with elegant taste.
These tea bricks were originally scarce, but now in wartime, I am afraid that they will be even more out of stock!
The upper, middle and lower are all ready, and that is to do things.
"The knight of Sangerber said to me that my current merits have reached the minimum standard for the canonization of a baron, and Romon said. As soon as this sentence came out, Xiao Lulun immediately understood the meaning.
Merit to meet the standard two, then you have to do a small job, these wealth is to be used.
"Your Excellency. Isn't it a little early? Lu Lun thought for a moment and said.
Romon understood what he meant, and now summoning the barons in the city to fight the main demon force is not a good errand.
"It's not early, Mr. Lulun, you should understand that wartime, peacetime, is completely different Romon said: "If it is peacetime, then"
At one point, Lu Lun understood.
The baron controls hundreds of square kilometers, and the interests represented by this are too great, and if in times of peace, no matter how hard he struggles, it will be difficult to achieve.
One miracle known to Lulun scholars is the Charleilu family.
The Charleilu family made military achievements in a skirmish and was promoted to the rank of lord. Able to be hereditary, the next three generations have served in the army, but they have never been promoted.
The fourth-generation lord, combined with a viscount's daughter, became a de facto vassal of a viscount family, and gained help.
But it was only in the fifth generation that he gained enough territory through an event and became a baron.
It took five generations before and after to climb to the baron, but he was still despised by the concubine class and regarded as an outburst.
It is only in the event of a demonic calamity that the old structure is broken, at least temporarily, and the gods are directly involved in the reward and punishment of meritorious deeds, that Romon can ascend to heaven in one step.
If you don't seal it now, after the war, hehe, you can barely seal a baronial title and get some poor country. It's already fair to the extreme.
If you are unlucky and block the way of a certain family, it is normal to suddenly die suddenly or die in battle.
After all. Once the era of peace came, connections and relationships became the mainstream.
"Your Excellency. I see, I'll get you sorted out quickly. Earn the Baronial Title. Lu Lun said immediately.
"Yes. And it doesn't matter, I look at this situation, the tenth **, Aps, is going to have a decisive battle with the high demon Romon judged and said: "And the war will break out very quickly."
"My lord, what judgment do you rely on?"
"It's very simple, just move around, the High Demon is an abyss noble, I don't believe it has no brains
The point is that the movement in Apsz City is simply too big. Romon sighed and said.
Seeing that Lu Lun was still a little puzzled, Romon explained: "The threat is mutual, and the city of Aps is mobilized. The first to bear the brunt is the Abyssal Baron, and of course, the opposite is also true, this is the magnet. Attract each other's attention, so war is inevitable, and no one can wait.
