Chapter 58 - Savage invasion
Gave away the three barons with red lights, and after four months of busyness, Zhou Ming, who finally took a break, took stock of the gains of the past few months.
In addition to the precious fur wood left in the castle warehouse and half of the warehouse, and the rare metal ore stuffed in several rooms with a total weight of more than 100 tons, Zhou Ming’s four-month purely earned gold coins totaled about 80,000 gold coins.
The 40,000 of these 80,000 gold coins were earned by him after he made a trip to the Iron Fort Kingdom in person.
But just now, he took out 75,000 of them, and rewarded the three barons, and the last 5,000 coins left his pocket.
Some people may ask, is it true that Zhou Ming is stupid, and he has kept 80,000 gold coins. He does n’t keep it himself, but he wants to engage in charity and give 90% of the benefits to others. Is there a pit in his head? Silly things?
Actually, it was n’t Zhou Ming who was really stupid, he did it deliberately.
Because only a large amount of fur wood ore accumulated in the castle, Zhou Ming, who has already made hundreds of times of profits, has not looked at the tens of thousands of gold coins.
Moreover, there has never been love and hatred for no reason in this world! If you do n’t go to Qianjin, you do n’t want to invite people to buy people’s hearts, you just want to let others do it without regrets, and they will do it with you! Don’t even think about such a good thing!
Zhou Ming can conclude! This time I ate a delicious piece of crab meat and drank the three barons who ate into the soup. No matter what kind of shocks and changes will happen to the Free Business Alliance in the future, they will taste the sweetness and they will definitely support the Free Business Alliance. Persistent supporters! Even when Zhou Ming announced the dissolution of the Business League himself, they would also express their objections.
What’s more, Zhou Ming did not buy and sell with a hammer. For the 75,000 gold coins that were scattered, in his follow-up business plan, there were dozens of hundreds of ways to throw these generously scattered gold coins. In return to his own hands, he would not care whether these gold coins were put in his hands like a scrooge, or he was briefly scattered in various territories of the Free Merchant League to stimulate the consumption cycle within the merchant union.
However, it was about to spring, and thinking of something that was about to happen soon, Zhou Ming did not continue to implement his own business plan, but walked into the study room of his father Baron Connor and discussed with him a key issue .
Inside the study.
“Dear Edward, are you sure your instincts will not go wrong, the savages of the Savage Kingdom will soon go south and invade the Kingdom of Wallis?”
Put down a scroll of sheepskin, and after listening to Zhou Ming, Baron Conner asked slightly surprised.
The Savage Kingdom is the old rival of the Kingdom of Wallis. Those savages who live in the ice and snow all the year round, no matter the disaster year or the good years, as long as the tribal population is large or hungry, they will show their fangs, want to be in them In the eyes of the “rich” Kingdom of Wallis, a bite was taken from the body. However, in terms of force, individual strong savages may be able to single out a knight, but a group of savages without military discipline gather together and face advances in rows. The knightly legion that formed the charge, it is a proper battle.
Therefore, even if the territory of the Savage Kingdom is one hundred times that of the Kingdom of Wallis, in large wars, it will often be slammed.
Baron Connor was a little surprised. He was not surprised that the Savage would invade the Kingdom of Wallis. He was surprised that Zhou Ming described the severity of the invasion-penetrating the seven counts in the north and entering the south to burn and loot. This is serious Sex is a bit big. Because, even Baron Connor did n’t like those “Biggers” privately, but the fighting power of the “Biggers” is indeed unquestionable. For hundreds of years, it was thanks to the existence of these “Biggers” Only an Earl’s lord can be comfortable and stable, avoiding countless military disasters.
Zhou Ming said affirmatively: “Yes dad, I have been to a few savages’ tribes more than a month ago. Their famine has become very serious. Some tribes have only left young and strong. The elderly, women and children are gone. Many Wandering cannibal tribes, they caught live food and ate. The caravan I brought with them encountered several such cannibal tribes, which damaged a lot of manpower and saw traces of many tribes migrating south … I estimate that, for two consecutive years, the Savage Kingdom, which has suffered major disasters forever, no matter whether the Savage King will issue a convening order or not, those Savage tribes will choose to struggle between starving and fighting to death! “
“and so–“
Zhou Ming paused and said: “We must prepare for the worst, and prepare in advance for the preparation of hundreds or even thousands of savages to invade the Grand Collar. We cannot allow these savages to step into the Grand Collar and kill one of them. Grab a livestock and **** a bag of food! “
Baron Conner nodded and agreed with his son ’s judgment, but blocked the invasion of hundreds and thousands of savages …
This is simply impossible.
He knows the strength of savages. Many lords recruit mercenaries to fight. The favorite ones are those savages who spend a lot of money and are not afraid of death. On the battlefield, as long as the number of savages and knights reaches a ratio of 3: 1 or more, knights must think To win, you have to pay a certain price, especially some savages who are called “crazy warriors”. After seeing the blood of themselves or their enemies, these savages will completely fall into a state of madness and fight. Coming with you endlessly is a nightmare for countless knights.
Regardless of the kind of savages, as long as there are more than three figures of savages invading the Grand Collar, it is impossible to stop this powerful impact by the resistance of more than ten knights in the Grand Collar.
“Edward, if so many savages invade, we better report to Count Lautz, issue a convening order and be prepared at the border!”
Baron Connor said that in the face of the big invasion of the Savage, it would be useless to rely on him as a little baron. Only when the Count Lausitz issued a convening order to gather all the knights in the Count ’s collar could it be stopped The possibility of savage entry.
“Report is useless!”
Zhou Ming shook his head and said: “Simple speculation will not attract the attention of Count Lautz, unless the savages have already been killed, then it is too late to call the knights. Grand Collar wants to reduce the loss of personnel property, only We can rely on ourselves to find a way, or to let Gran Collar have the ability to resist the invasion of hundreds of savages alone! “
Grand collar alone to resist the invasion of hundreds of savages?
how can that be?
Connor Connor was about to call out in surprise. Grand Collar had the ability to resist the savage heavy knights. A total of ten or so, and then pulled three or four hundred farmers together, it was good to barely block the 100 hungry and savages. , Blocking hundreds of thousands?
Do not make jokes!
“Edward, let the knights be vigilant at the border. If a large number of savages come, or issue a territory evacuation order and transfer the leaders from the ten villages around Rose Town to the town or the castle. Although some livestock and houses will be lost, as you said, people-oriented, as far as possible to reduce the loss of some personnel, as to block the invasion of the savages, wait for Lord Earl to issue a convening order, and then collect the savages together. “
Baron Connor has long been accustomed to the shocking words that this son often utters, and the predictions made by this son have never gone wrong, but … relying on Glenn alone to resist hundreds of thousands of savages The invasion … Hey, this son who has never been to the battlefield is still too young. UU reads www.uukanshu.com. I do n’t know that the real war contains those famous halls. Perhaps after only a few battlefield trials, he He will make a correct judgment, and will not speak the layman who is not in the key.
“Dad, listen to me and finish talking!”
Seeing some impatient Baron Conner, Zhou Ming was anxious and stepped forward and said: “It is actually very simple to block so many savages! As long as we increase the number of soldiers in the territory by ten times! Form an elite The standing army of the army and the military defense capabilities of the Grand Collar are not as stable as a rock, and they will fear the covetment and provocation of any forces! “
The number of soldiers has expanded tenfold?
Baron Connor was startled again, shaking his head again and again: “Dear Edward, the little Grand Collar has not been divided by so many Caiyis. Ten knights are already the limit of the Grand Collar. How is it possible? “
“Dad, you misunderstood what I meant! I mean, in addition to the cavalier class, among the lower ranks of the territory, with each knight, correspondingly recruit 10 soldiers to become the next level of military force under the command of the knight. This military level, I call it “college”, these “college”, unlike the knights, seize the mining area, only enjoy the preferential policies of reducing land rent and paying certain salary subsidies, “college” Like a knight, he will also be trained out of production all the year round and become an important military auxiliary force besides the knight … “
In the ear of Baron Conner, Zhou Ming proposed a very bold and groundbreaking concept! As the explanation went deeper, Baron Conner ’s eyes condensed slightly, he heard the highlights, and started walking around the study with his hands behind him. Hearing his heart thumping and shooting directly at the end Call it the absolute way: “Edward, you will be the greatest genius in the centuries of history founded by the Burns family!”
