Rise of the Empire Total War

Long after the captain named Donahue Sean left, Richard still didn't get out of the information he gave.

The Moorish pirates from all over the Southern Shimmering Sea were assembled to retake the island of Cuban and avenge the kingdom of Ravana that killed their brothers.

This news sounds terrible.

According to Donoghue, there are more than a thousand pirates in the Southern Shining Sea, and hundreds of ships, large and small. Although they usually disperse and fight independently, they are still a terrifying force when they really gather.

Richard's whole head is getting bigger, there are more than 1,000 people, and his current army is only 300 to 400 people, which is not half of others. How to fight this? And before coming, King Harlaus made it very clear that he could not send troops to help when the pirates invaded, which means that Richard can only rely on his own head iron to force a wave...

"It's too difficult for me." Richard muttered, looking at the guards who lined up to follow the last batch of civilians to Nuremberg, he suddenly felt better.

According to common sense, pirates are not very powerful on land, and they may not even be able to beat the security guards in towns. But if it is at sea, they are like fish in water, like a blind factory manager, they can easily beat the heavy infantry of various countries.

Therefore, in order to defeat this massive pirate invasion, Richard must place the battlefield on the land where the pirates are weakest, and it is best to stay inland away from the sea, lest they flee back to the ship if they cannot fight.

How to lure pirates deep into the island is a big problem, like hanging a bell to a cat, no good tactics will help if the pirates are not hooked.

After much deliberation, Richard set his sights on the town militia. If the soldiers were to pretend to be defeated to lure the pirates to take the bait, then the town militia must be the best choice.

After making up his mind, Richard spent 290 dinars to recruit a team of town militiamen. He had made up his mind. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to keep this team of town militiamen when the war was over?

The training time of the town militia is one round in the game, which means that in reality they will leave the training ground after one month and become qualified militia fighters.

Richard was a little curious about how the system soldiers were trained into an army in just one month, so after returning to Nuremberg, he went to the militia barracks near the city gate to inspect the training of the town militia on the spot.

He found that after he dragged the town militia into the recruitment sequence, suitable young and middle-aged men left their homes one after another and walked into the militia barracks spontaneously. After the number reached 112, these young and middle-aged men were gathered in the school grounds to start training.

Of course, weapons will not be distributed in the initial training. After a period of training, the weapons in the barracks will be distributed to them, and they will receive training from the instructors in the militia barracks.

After a month of training, two of these soldiers who performed well will be appointed as centurions and flag officers respectively. The treatment of becoming an officer will undoubtedly be much better than that of an ordinary soldier. Don't dare to slack off easily in training.

After seeing the militia barracks, Richard was about to walk back to the town hall in the center of the city, but before he walked a few meters, he was shocked by the spectacle of the streets unique to the Middle Ages. Let’s take a look at the terrible streets, even Nuremberg It's just a small town, but it's still as dirty as Paris in France and London in England. Although there is a shallow sewage drain on both sides of the stone-paved street, a yellow, still smelly, unknown liquid can be seen flowing in the sewage drain or on the street.

And the door of every household is also covered with fetid excrement. They don't have any sense of hygiene, as if they are used to the smell, they directly dump wooden barrels full of feces or garbage from their homes at the door of their house.

Wait for the sewage man who comes to clean up every once in a while.

When it comes to the city streets of medieval Europe, we have to mention the feces that fell from the sky. This is a feature of the Middle Ages and we have to taste it. Richard saw with his own eyes that those people who lived on the second floor of the house opened the windows and poured the feces and garbage down without caring whether anyone passed by downstairs. The few unlucky people didn't even have time to react, and they were covered with feces and urine. After taking a shower, I could only curse and admit that I was unlucky.

Even Richard, an expensive lord, was almost forced to take a bath several times. Even though he was lucky enough to escape, some splashed liquids still got on his clothes, and the stench made him Nausea again and again.

Going home is more tiring than fighting, although he has not participated in the war. Richard, who finally returned to the town hall, cursed in a low voice and took off his dirty robe, thinking angrily.

As a lord, he naturally has the power to change all of this, but he knows that it will take a lot of effort to completely rectify the chaos in the city. Even so, he was still willing to do it. Richard didn't want to continue living in such a smelly town, not to mention that such a dirty environment could easily break out a terrible plague.

If the plague breaks out as a result, Nuremberg, which lacks adequate medical conditions, is likely to become a dead city.

It's scary to think about it.

Thinking of this, Richard ordered the maid to prepare parchment, ink and quill, and he wanted to use this time to work out a governance method.

...

the next day.

"His Majesty the Great Caesar has issued an order. Starting today, everyone in Nuremberg is not allowed to dump feces and garbage anywhere. They must be dumped at a designated place and handled by workers. If someone does not obey the above order, they will be fined varying amounts. Dinar, and unconditionally become a garbage collector for more than a month!"

The decree promulgated by Richard quickly caused an uproar in the city. Although these ignorant medieval civilians sneered at the unnecessary thing like taking off their pants and farting in their eyes, these ignorant medieval civilians still thought that if they violated it, they would Fear of being punished with fines and forced labor.

Whose dinar is not blown by the wind, how could it be confiscated willingly because of a pile of garbage? What's more, after being fined, you have to become a garbage collector unconditionally. Thinking about having to work with stinky garbage for a month, even people who are a little accustomed to this smell will feel hairy all over.

And then, the second decree made them boil again.

"His Majesty the Great Caesar has issued an order. Starting today, every household in Nuremberg must clean up the filth accumulated in front of the house by itself, and dump it at a designated place. After the cleaning is completed, officials will go to check. If Qualified, each family will be rewarded with one dinar."

If the first decree is a big stick for the civilians in Nuremberg, making them take it seriously and dare not commit it again, then the second decree is a sweet date, allowing them to benefit from it, and they will consciously implement it.
