Chapter 108: The Screaming Scythe

As for the core of this expansion plan, that is, the mobile force, more specifically, about the transformation of the militarization of knights, Jonas thought for a long time, there are now five people in his territory who have the strength of knights, plus their subordinates, that is, a cavalry of 15 people, in Jonas's opinion, such a few cavalry is too few.

Imagine, if a cavalry of 15 people storms an enemy camp with 300 people, all Jonas can think of is that the knights may be able to emerge from the crowd, and those servants may go directly to God, and if a cavalry force of 50 people rushes to the enemy camp, after being equipped with heavy armor, he may be able to hear the horn of victory in the war in advance.

In order to expand his cavalry force to 50 people, Jonas thought of many ways, but he vetoed them one by one, either because he was afraid of his own death, or because he was afraid of causing dissatisfaction with the knight class, so in the end, in order to adapt to the rule that there is no private cavalry for the nobility of this world.

Jonas had already thought of a way to take care of the two powers, that is, to subsidize the salaries of his knights, and let them increase the number of servants from two to ten, and they would be responsible for all the expenses, and they would train these professionally trained cavalrymen, and when those servants were trained, they should also be loyal to themselves like those knights.

It should be said here that ordinary people have no opportunity to owe allegiance to their lords, because they have been loyal to the lords of this land from the moment they were born, so Jonas gave them the right to allegiance, which is equivalent to plucking them from ordinary people, making them different from ordinary people, lower than knights, higher than ordinary people, and these people will naturally be grateful for doing so.

Of course, Jonas didn't want to do this, this is equivalent to 50 people becoming people who have broken away from the masses, which is enough to create a new class in a territory with a population of less than 10,000 people, this class is not as strong as a knight, but it has a status higher than ordinary people, Jonas is not sure whether such a class will affect himself or the world in the future, but he can't help it.

If these servants only know how to listen to the knights who train them, and not listen to their lord, Jonas estimates that he will not even be able to sleep well, after all, the time he has with this group of people is very short, and this group of troops is planned to be built with a lot of money.

So for the sake of safety, Jonas identified with the existence of this class in his heart.

Then Jonas also designed a weapon for this force that has never appeared on the battlefield of this world, of course, it may be that Jonas has read less books and has not seen similar cases, but at least when many people describe the battle on the battlefield, Jonas has not heard anyone mention this weapon, which is the sickle.

In Jonas's opinion, the knights of this world are simply stupid in battle, holding a huge spear, and then rushing into the enemy camp, then throwing him away after stringing a few people on it, then pulling out the long sword at his waist and slashing at others, and then die, or capture, and of course, maybe win.

Isn't this a waste of a knight's huge power in vain, which is like the Fang Tian painting halberd invented by the Chinese, which can both mow the grass and fight alone, at least don't throw it, some of these spears are pure iron, after all, the knights in this world are different from ordinary people.

How much is this worth, hit once and throw it once, Jonas can't stand it, so when Fang Tian's halberd painting is too complicated, Jonas finally chose a sickle, of course, it is not a small scythe used to cut rice, but the kind of pole is 3 meters long, the width of the entire sickle is about half a meter, the length is 1.5 meters, the thickness is 20 centimeters, and the super scythe made of pure iron!!

Think about it, a group of five people holding such a scythe larger than all of them, with their strength equivalent to 5 ordinary people, plus their momentum and their ancestral invulnerability armor, scarlet robes, standing from the enemy's point of view, under the same military strength, that kind of shocking power can definitely be called the birth of Satan.

Then followed by the younger brother of 50 people, all wearing cross steel helmets imported from Milan, all painted black, from horses to people, all armed, without a shield, a long sword in one hand is responsible for mending the knife, and in the other hand is holding a short spear of about 1.5 meters in charge of assassination, Jonas just thinks about it and feels extremely refreshing, these 50 iron cans are led by the five gods of death in front of them, and the enemy makes a roar of death in the kind of consternation, he even named it, and called it Screaming Scythe.

Originally, he wanted to call the Grim Reaper, but when he thought that this was Christendom, he didn't want to be tied to a wooden stake and burned to death.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, it was finally decided to put the plan to build the Screaming Scythe on hold for the time being, although in his vision, this army was the most important, but because it was also the most expensive, Jonas removed this army from his plan in consideration of the economic situation.

No way, it's too expensive, just after listening to the advice of Earls (one of the knights), Jonas's money bag felt the sound of gold draining, and Milan's cross steel helmet, the price, Jonas was scared when he said it.

Therefore, Jonas only issued an order that the number of followers of each knight should be increased from 2 to 10 people, and the excess money should be paid by himself, and then he temporarily gave up this heavy money plan, which is also the result of Jonas's deep thought, we can't afford weapons, people don't have it yet, train first, and then carry out it when you have money.

As for the newcomer's horses, long swords, Jonas still can't solve these problems, the price of horses is very expensive, especially good horses, that price, the cheapest high-grade horses are more than 5000, this kind of horse is still the worst horse among the war horses, no matter how bad the horse can only be used to carry luggage, when he hears the horn of war, he runs away.

But it doesn't matter, let's do physical training first, the long sword is still provided, and the food can be dripped in charge, and the rest, wait.

"Let's take it one step at a time, when you get rich, let's build this army again. ”

Putting the plan aside, Jonas didn't plan to do it right now, he had too many things in his hands now, and it was too miscellaneous, front-line war, steel trade, agricultural reform, slave trade, although he didn't need to implement it himself, but it still had to involve a lot of Jonas's attention in it, and he couldn't pull away at all.

Besides, a troop, the Lord will always be the most important, the upper must be loyal to himself, will not betray, the lower must be able to lead the army to fight, not to lose the land and lose people, and the candidate in Jonas's eyes, so far, only Vig alone can be worthy of the big responsibility, so if you want to implement this plan, you must wait until Vig returns from Ruger to carry it out.

What Jonas can do now is to train the two hundred people in Cangsong Town, give them enough salaries, and let them gradually change from peasant soldiers to professional soldiers, which is already very expensive, of course, this plan will not be dusted to the end.

The recruitment of basic soldiers has been convened by Dididora under the order of Jonas, and the external conditions are very attractive, at least more profitable than farming in the countryside, and although the welfare guarantees are not as perfect as those in later generations, Jonas also gave these recruited soldiers reasonable benefits, the disabled have money to provide for the old, and the war dead have money to pension, which is Jonas's promise.

Under this promise, Dididora said that no one wanted to farm anymore, and of course Jonas was very happy about it, and the enthusiasm for recruiting was high, so that he could recruit strong enough troops, otherwise he might as well play with a group of old men in their seventies and eighties to play with him.
