As early as the establishment of the Free Business Alliance, Zhou Ming began to consider the military defense of the Grand Collar.

With the increasing number of various business activities led by the Grand Collar, the business plans in Zhou Ming’s mind will be gradually realized, and the next few years will only become more and more prosperous. Countless merchants, mercenaries, anonymous thieves and other floating populations yearning for wealth and “gold rush” places, so many thieves, petty money, cunning, unscrupulous, or unruly chaotic forces will only give the Grand collar Security and normal order bring endless challenges.

Considering the future, the Grand Collegiate will also respond to the war call initiated by the upper count or king, and participate in wars or national wars in other territories. Come back less.

Therefore, the establishment of a well-armed, well-armed territorial army to protect the security of the territory, maintain the security of the territory, respond to the call of the upper levels, and expand the external operations … became the front of Zhou Ming, not to mention the fire, but It is also a very urgent matter.

Just …

The situation of is completely different from that of the previous generation. He took the road of farming and warfare combining all the soldiers with all the soldiers. The advantage is that there are more soldiers, more mobilization, and great war potential! The disadvantage is that the resource consumption is huge, and it can’t withstand continuous battles for years (this problem is common to any army, but the duration is different).

But in this life, Zhou Ming, who is a noble class, could only rely on the noble class with knights as the core to complete the military construction of his territory. He could n’t ignore the interests of these knight classes and call out out-of-work farmers for training. The practice of building a standing military force.

Once he did this, the cavaliers who lost their meaning, even if Zhou Ming did not harm their interests and did not take back their Caiyi and their lords, they would feel that they had been abandoned by the lord and would rather choose a group of weak farmers , Fulfill their rights and obligations, and do not choose to trust them … This is an insult to them, and a betrayal to them!

It’s like taking over the general manager of a listed company. When the original dry wind started, the president suddenly ordered a new order and airborne a new manager who was originally under his command. He took over all the work in his hands. As for the general manager, the president’s approach will undoubtedly attract his extreme dissatisfaction and endless hatred.

Therefore, in order not to offend the interests of the knight class as much as possible, and in order to enhance the military strength of the Grand Collar, Zhou Ming can only take a detour route, which not only ensures the interests of the knight class, but also enhances the defense capabilities of the territory.

Namely: add a “leader” class below the cavalier class.

Soon, Baron Conner summoned the ten knights in the territory to the Grand Collegiate Castle. In the Chamber, they discussed and discussed the plan and proposal for the creation of the “Lord” class. At the meeting, Zhou Ming heard the details After the commentary, most of the ten knights were a little moved.

In fact, the knights who mainly bear the war function are not very good at the planning and management of Caiyi. A knight can manage a village of more than a hundred people, but if he is allowed to manage a few hundred households A large village with thousands of people, holding multiple positions such as village chief, squire, judge, and police, can’t handle so many things at all. Now the lord allows them to recruit 10 “helpers” each, assisting in wartime and assisting in peacetime Managing the village can also solve the problem of the future of the family’s second son and some friends and family (although the ‘college’ is not as good as a knight, but also much better than an ordinary farmer), why not do it?

Of course, there are also some knights who have a little concern. For example, the Morris knight asked: there is no problem in recruiting “leaders”, but one knight with 10 leaders, to solve the equipment purchase cost and daily maintenance cost of so many people, Who will bear the large amount of expenses incurred? Who will solve it?

“The lord helped to solve the equipment purchase cost, and the knights borne the daily expenses … In recent years, the agricultural production of each mining city has been very good. It should not be difficult to solve the ration and salary expenses of 10 people?”

Equipment purchase costs are large, and the remaining rations and salary expenses are small. Zhou Ming does not believe that the knights who have made a lot of money in recent years have made a lot of money. They ca n’t afford this small amount of money.

Hearing this, all the knights nodded their heads, and they fully accepted the plan. They promised to recruit a suitable number of “leaders” within a month to enhance the defense capabilities of the Grand Collar.

“Don’t rush to recruit for the time being, the savages in the north will soon come over, you go back to Caiyi, gather all the farmers who can hold weapons, come to the castle to gather, I will use a week to train them in surprise, and then Take them to the north of the territory to build traps and fortifications to resist the invasion of savages … This will be a real battle, a real battle to screen out qualified ‘leaders’! “

Uh …

After the conscription order was issued, the Grand Collar immediately entered a state of emergency. The farmers stopped their farm work and came to the castle to gather for a week of “military training.”

Combined with the previous military training experience, Zhou Ming mainly trained the more than 1100 farmers on the training ground in a standing posture, turning back and forth, left and right, and obeying military orders within a week. , How to act according to orders, rather than chasing like headless flies.

After a week of “military training”, Zhou Ming selected 110 farmers with high perception, strong obedience, and good comprehensive ability. As the commander of the farmer team, each assigned 10 ordinary farmers and formed 110 farmer teams.

In this way, a “ten-ten” military mobilization system with one lord, ten knights under his command, ten knights under his command, and a hundred lords under his command, a hundred lords, and a thousand peasants under his command. The building is in shape.

How much combat power this military mobilization system can break out depends on how powerful it can be in this defensive operation against savages.

However, there is a small episode: Among the 110 farmer ten commanders, Zhou Ming saw a familiar figure-his father, Derek, who passed away early when he was five years old or six years old. Not only did he have no bad luck, but after often receiving his intentional or unintentional “care”, his family conditions have been greatly improved, and the well-nourished Derek, in addition to a 10-year-old son and an 8-year-old second daughter There are three children under 6 years old.

Derek, who has a lot of children and is under great pressure Things went to heart. Through good performance in military training, he first became a farmer’s commander, and then waited until the end of the war to become a “leader”.

Seeing Derek who wanted to be elected as a “leader” through active performance to reduce family pressure, Zhou Ming pulled him aside and said to him in private: “Derek, there are still certain dangers on the battlefield, I don’t recommend you to engage in it ‘ “Leader” this profession, I heard that you have five children in your family? Well, after one or two years, let your eldest son and second daughter go to the castle to be servants and maids, I will send someone to train them, and Now, the savages have entered the Earl of Merlin and will soon reach the Grand Collar. The sword has no eyes. Remember to be careful. “

“Thank you Master Edward, thank you Master Edward!”

Seeing the kind-hearted father-like Master Edward, so caring for his family, moved tears across Derek, and wanted to kneel and give him a few heads, but he was supported by a pair of powerful arms and could only bow repeatedly, UU reading www.uukanshu. com expresses his gratitude.

Another week later.

Unsurprisingly, although the Northern Knights led by the Earl of Merlin in the north did their best to resist, there was a knight sent by Baron Romon Quick Horse to report that there was a wave of about 1,000 people in the wilderness tribe After grabbing all the stuff from Patton’s collar, he will immediately enter the Grand Collar to burn and rob.

Thanks to Patton who came to report the news, Zhou Ming, who has made all preparations, is confident! To deal with the ordinary savages who are hungry and faint, neither a warrior nor a young man, the existing strength in his hand is enough to deal with this little threat.

Sure enough, this wave of savages with more than a thousand people was shocked by the “rich man” of this territory immediately after entering the Grand Domain. The ghost called to burst into a village where the villagers ran out of light and saw the messy house. After discarding countless pieces of bread, dried meat and dried fruit that were too late to take away, the surprise group reveled, picked up these foods without thinking, and swallowed.

噗通!

A tall, sturdy, savage spit down with white foam, followed by two, three, a small piece, a large piece …

Thousands of savages who swarmed into the village were turned over by poison.

“The Savage is almost dead!”

“Catch the Savage!”

“Try not to kill savages, grab a live reward of 100 silver coins, everyone go together!”

“The net has been cast, let’s put this savage together!”

“How about the big stick? This savage is still in a state of turmoil. Quickly stun him with the big stick!”

“……”

Was a soldier. More than a thousand savages who entered the Grand Collar were poisoned and killed more than 800 people, and more than 200 savages. Except for a few who were killed due to fierce resistance, most of them were caught alive by the farmers.
