King of Mercenaries Chapter 69

Published at 14th of June 2023 05:29:13 AM

After the draw, everyone went happily. And Marin's number one general, Schwartz, walked over with anxiety:

"Master, you divided up two-thirds of the land, what do you do?" In private, Schwartz is still called Master Marin, and the army is called the boss.

"It's okay, Schwartz, maybe you don't know yet? My base that cooks salt now produces 1,000 quarts of refined salt every day!" Marin revealed.

Schwartz has been in Den Burg these days, responsible for training soldiers and arranging defense. Therefore, I don't know much about Yancheng. I only know that there is cooking salt.

"1000 quarts? Every day?" Schwartz was shocked. He knows how expensive the salt price is. How much profit is produced if you produce so much salt a day ...

"Yeah, I now have a profit of 600 gold coins a day. Do you still need to care about those acres?" Marin said.

"That's true, too, but you don't have to divide the fields so much, sir. 2 Ugrams per house is actually enough."

2 Yougram is 4 acres, about 24 acres of land, really enough for a family to eat and drink. Of course, according to the current land production in Europe, it is just enough to eat and drink. Apart from that, there is no balance. If there is a rice bucket like Kahn at home, it will definitely not be enough ...

"It's okay, don't worry about it. This group of soldiers, I want them to work hard for me without giving them enough benefits. Can they fight for me?"

"But if every soldier flies to you, you will be given 5 Ugram land, and the land on the island is not enough!"

"Schwartz, I didn't say I want to give land to recruits ..."

"what do you mean?"

"These 400 people, I intend to train all officers in the squadron level. As for the bottom soldiers, can I recruit them later ..."

"400 team captains? Do you want to recruit 10,000 troops?" Schwartz was surprised. One squad is 25 people, 400 squads are 10,000 people! 10,000 troops, ordinary dukes can't make it out. Because, money is not enough ...

The medieval aristocracy had limited territorial output due to backward agriculture. Coupled with their extravagant life, the financial situation of the nobles was mostly bad. Those who can make up 10,000 troops are basically rich dukes or kings.

Of course, there are some who take the serfs. However, the serf soldiers were not trained, and their combat effectiveness was really scum. Now fighting between nobles, it has become popular to use a combination of knights and mercenary infantry. Even heavy cavalry of trainee origin can be hired. Taking the serf cannon fodder together, it was absolutely abused, and it was also very food intensive.

"What's wrong? My salt cooking base can produce 210,000 gold coins every year. I can't afford 10,000 troops?"

Schwartz thought about it, it was enough to feed 10,000 troops. However, a baron's leader who feeds 10,000 troops feels weird. Unless, Master wants to expand ...

Schwartz suddenly refreshed ...

When Master Qi wants to expand, he certainly won't be partial to this island. To expand, Schwartz thought about it, and felt that the biggest possibility was East Frisian. Because, there was where Mary's family originally controlled.

But if the young master recaptures East Frisian in the name of Mrs. Mary, the first heir to Mrs. Mary should be Master Adler ... Schwartz is a little confused ...

好 "Well, Schwartz, I now give you an important task!"

"Master, please tell me!"

"I want you to work harder to train these guys into qualified team captains, can you?"

"Training as a team captain? How to train them to become team captains?" Schwartz is now familiar with training team captains. How can this be done?

"Easy, you let them be a team member, take turns to be the team leader, won't it?"

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

"How do they train their training capabilities? Our 400 people are all veterans and do not need to be trained. In this way, their training capabilities cannot be improved ..."

"It's easy, don't you have thousands of strong men on the island? During the farming season, pull out the strong men on the island and let the soldiers train their queues and discipline. Even children can pull out to practice queues and give them experience . However, it is not allowed to break a child while training them ... "

"Not training to fight?"

"Training Mao's battle? If they can fight, what if one day I don't like the young master and make me look bad?" Malin wasn't fighting. Training those serf queues and disciplines just makes them more obedient and directs them to do things easier. Train them to fight, if one day these serfs think of rebellion? I am about to be KO ...

"Okay, I know, Master!" After that, Schwartz went out in full swing. He wanted to complete the task given by the Master, and train all the big soldiers into qualified team captains ...

The reason why I said that this group of head soldiers were trained as qualified squadron leaders, not qualified company captains or even square heads, is very simple ...

Because this group of soldiers, with the exception of Schwartz, are all illiterate. Illiteracy is limited and not good at thinking. Making them a small captain is already the limit. And they usually only need to strictly perform the tasks given above orally.

But company captains and even square formation chiefs are different. Not only do they have to read written instructions and execute the above orders, they also need to make fine adjustments to the square formations or company formations under their command according to the situation on the battlefield.

For example, the flank of the army was broken. The chiefs of the formation and the company captains saw that the wing's air door was wide open, and they needed to command their commanders to make a response, without violating the general command. This kind of response is difficult for those illiterate captains. Because they are not good at thinking.

Marin wants to expand his army. He will definitely recruit some wandering knights from the literate knight family to train them as company captains. As for the Phalanx, it is very important, not only must have cultural knowledge, but also be as reliable as Schwartz. Even if it is not reliable, the family must be moved to their own territory as a hostage.

Umarin's reputation has gradually spread throughout the Holy Roman Empire under the propaganda of the emperor. Presumably, my fans will come here in the future to join us. By that time, Marin intends to select a few knights to train as company captains and square formations. As for Schwartz, he intends to train as a legionnaire.

马 When Marin told Schwartz of his intentions, Schwartz shuddered with excitement—the commander of the army! That was the big man who commanded at least 6,000 people (a Roman legion). Generally, at least the baron can serve. When Schwartz expressed his doubts, Marin told him indifferently-he didn't have enough status, so he acted as acting legion leader first ...

"But, Master, I'm just a trainee now ..." Schwartz said helplessly.

Apprentice knight, not even aristocracy, and the minimum requirements to be the commander of the legion-Baron, it is far away ...

"Oh, I have forgotten it. So, now, as a baron who is an independent baron leader, it seems that I have the power to grant the Knights of the Territory. So, when time comes, I invite my family and yours Come on the island and give you a ceremony of allegiance to grant the knight title ... "

谢谢 "Thank you Master, thank you ..." Schwartz immediately knelt down on one knee and wanted to be loyal on the spot ...

You know, the title knight and the trainee knight are the difference between the nobility and the civilians. This difference is simply the difference between heaven and earth. Being named a knight is noble! This can't be more exciting than Schwartz ...

别 "Don't be busy allegiance, the ceremony is not ready yet ..."

"Hehe ..." Schwartz stood up ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and smiled awkwardly.

"Since I want to make you a knight, I must give you a manor. I have a small land, but I can't give a big manor for the time being. So, after a while, I will let the serfs clear the land of 100 Eugram, Do n't you think that 's too little for you? ”

"How can it be, it is already very good, my master, your father, only 100 Ugram's arable land." Where is Schwartz too little? With a noble status, he felt that he was making a lot of money.

"Don't compare with the old man, he has a coal mine base. However, before the development of coal mines, the family was really not rich ..."

"It's already the greatest reward to have a knighthood, Master, I won't choose."

呵 "Hehe, tell you, you can't lose it. After using oriental farming techniques, harvesting rye on an acre of land, at least more than 200 pounds ..."

"Master, what is an acre of land? How big is it?" Schwartz obviously did not know the unit of "acre".

咳 "Ahem-one acre is one twelfth of Eugram ..."

"Ah? One Eugram equals 12 acres. Doesn't Eugram produce more than 2,400 pounds of rye? Is it so high?" Schwartz was shocked. This output is definitely more than a quarter higher than that in Europe (at the time of harvest) ...

"Just more!"

"Did I post it?"

"Well, I sent it ... don't think about it, go and train the bastards!"

"Yes, master!" After that, Schwartz went out with all his energy, and vowed to train the group of soldiers to death ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Welcome the book readers to visit, the latest, fastest, most popular The serial works are all at ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Please read for mobile users.
