Whole Nation

"Dear Dusta, it's great that you arrived in time. If it is later, my castle will be occupied by this shameless Marquis of Ketoka. You are a protector that God has given me."

Seeing that all the stubborn knights had laid down their weapons, Du Yu began to direct his soldiers to clean the battlefield, and all the dozens of valuable sheepskin sewed tents were all included in Du Yu's pocket. Although this battle is not yet known What about the harvest, but the dozen or so tents and the knights’ full body armor is not a small income.

Although he did not capture the Marquis of Kesto alive this time, he did not let him run away. The corpse is also a big sum of money. If the successor of the Kasto family wants a well-deserved successor position, he must spend a lot of money on the old Marquis. The body was redeemed.

Just as Du Yuxing's commanding soldiers cleaned the battlefield, his cheap father-in-law, Lord Kestola, wore a tattered chain mail and ran out of the castle with a dozen servants, his face grumbled. Holding Du Yu crying and crying, which made Du Yu, who was still packing up the battlefield, scold angrily

　　 "I was **** fighting in front, but you are negotiating with the enemy here. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I will send someone to take back your territory!"

"Retake the territory? Okay, okay, I don't want to stay in this broken place any longer. You take back my territory. I'll go to be a knight under your hands than stay here to endure the revenge of the Kesto family! "

　　Due to Du Yu's expectation, Lord Kestola heard not only a little fear but to regain his territories, but instead showed a look of joy, even the original uneasy look seemed to exude an exhilarating look, grateful for the complete mess.

"Sir, take back the territory of an independent lord, you must give the knighthood and land compensation!" Seeing his lord's face inexplicably sluggish, the adjutant Statunko came awkwardly and whispered in Du Yu's ear. Explained.

"According to the Kingdom's decree, annexing an independent lord's territory must give the lord a certain amount of property and land compensation to continue the lord's blood." It is this decree that guarantees the kingdom's nobles, although sometimes fighting, as long as it is not rebellion King, noble blood can always last for a long time, many knights themselves are descendants of previous lords.

This time Lord Kaistola not only pretended to be a robber to rob the Kesto family caravan, but also colluded with the Falcon family to ambush the Marshal Kesto, resulting in the death of Marshal Kesto. Lord Kestola had already run away. I plan to stay here is definitely a dead end,

　　The vengeful anger of a marquis family is not something that this little Lord can bear. Now his intimate son-in-law is willing to take back his territory. Of course, Lord Kestola is ecstatic.

　　 Take it back. Fortunately, my cheap father-in-law has only three villages. Du Yu sighed secretly. The original owner of this body seems to be really autistic, and even a lot of universal knowledge does not even know.

　　 "If possible, I want to meet my two fiancees!"

Du Yu sat down in the lobby of Lord Kestola’s castle. The two sides have just negotiated the resumption of the territory. Du Yu transferred it to Lord Kestola from two dozen villages near his castle in exchange for it. Three villages of Lord Kestola.

"Of course, but my two daughters are still studying noble etiquette with Mrs. Weina in Moline Castle. I'm afraid I won't be able to return until next autumn. When the time comes, I will definitely bring them to meet the adults. They will be 13 next year. It’s age and you can have a wedding.” Lord Kestola took a happy look from the table and handed over the deed of the village to the adjutant Statunko

　　 "13 years old!" The age spit out from Lord Kestola's mouth stunned Du Yu sitting in the main seat of the hall. After a long time, his fiancee and sister were still two 13-year-old girls.

"This is not in a hurry! No in a hurry! Now that it has been negotiated, I will lead the army back first" Du Yu stood up from the main seat embarrassingly, no matter whether the sisters were not beautiful, Du Yu was not evil enough to destroy the small The point of the girl.

　　 "Adult, this battle killed a total of 138 ordinary soldiers, captured 17 knights, received a total of 3,500 gold ransoms, allocated 16 villages, and a population of 3,786..."

Startunko respectfully handed the thick data table and the head of the village to Du Yu. Startunko knew that the battle in Lord Kestola’s territory not long ago had sent his lord Bi Xiaocai,

　　 In order to redeem the unlucky Marquis of Ketoka and the captured family knight squadron, after the Ketoka family paid another 3,000 gold coins, they had to cut 13 neighboring villages to redeem all the captives.

In addition to the knight with red feathers on his head, because he is the guardian of the Marquis of Ketoka, the Iron Shield Knight of Storie. Due to the suffocation of the prince, the guard of the Storry has been deprived of the Iron Shield by the new patriarch. The title was reduced to a sergeant guardian without territory.

　　 Du Yu quite appreciates the loyalty and commanding ability of this Cavaliers Captain Storey. If it was not for Storey that organized the panicked knights to resist tenaciously, maybe these knights would have been defeated long ago.

　　 Du Yu left him forcibly in the castle on the ground that there was no ransom.

　　Since Lord Ketoka invaded Lord Kestola’s territory, he met with Lord Kestola to help the falcon family who beat the bandits, and died in a heroic duel,

　　According to the tradition of kingdom knights, this is a battle between two noble and extremely brave knights. It is a fair and sacred battle. It is a worthy of reciting.

Therefore, the Ketoka family cannot investigate the incident of the Falcon family unless the Ketoka family is willing to admit that their lord was dumped from the war horse and fell to death in the case of a sudden attack, which will make The already disgraced Ketoka family has become the laughing stock of the nobles.

"It took so many things to earn 2000 gold coins. It seems that if you want to make a fortune, you still have to find a way from your own territory." Du Yu briefly looked at the report submitted by Statunko, this time Although the battle is very rewarding, the cost is also very large.

Because of the bounty marked before the war, these two battles consumed nearly 600 gold coins of the bounty, and these farmers who participated in the battle continued to escape after returning to the territory. With big money, who Also willing to stay silly in the castle to sell their lives, they managed to run to their homes in the end. In the end, the 200 civilian peasants and soldiers ran to only 70 people.

The hunters also returned to the mountains under the leadership of the leader to spend the winter. Although the hunter leader promised that as long as he received his order, the hunter would come back immediately, but these circumstances that had never been considered before, let Du Yu "self govern The idea of ​​"army" has been questioned. Do we have to have a knight to really build a standing army?

　　After thinking hard for three days, Du Yu promulgated his own new policy "land reward system" in his own territory

"All the soldiers who participated in the ten battles with the lord will automatically be promoted to sharp soldiers and transferred to the castle as the guard of the lord. The lord will allocate a reward to him from the richest land near his castle, all hunted in the battle Soldiers with more than three enemy heads will automatically become the head soldiers. They will serve as the three-person chiefs in the army. All soldiers who kill the other knight in the battle will become soldiers. They will serve as the ten-person chiefs in the army and will have the right 1% of the loot after the war..."

　　 "Money is the driving force that drives people's expectations, and land is the foundation for retaining talents"

　　 This was the conclusion that Du Yu had been thinking about for a few days. As the impression of the land reward system of the Qin Dynasty and the Eight Banners system of the Manchus became clearer in his mind,

　　 Du Yu felt that his doubts were suddenly clear and open. It turned out that this difficult problem had long been solved by his elder ancestors. He had nothing else, but there were still many barren lands.

In a world with underdeveloped productivity, farmers are mostly gathered in villages, and large areas of wasteland are often left in other places, especially the "bare rod commander" who is not even a knight under his own hand, can be said "Poverty leaves land"

　　 Du Yu deliberately allocated a piece of land on the riverside outside his castle, which was used as a garrison station and production for his castle.

I am not wealthy. It is impossible to always keep a large number of soldiers in the castle. It is better to set aside land for them to farm. They only need to hand in very little food. They are soldiers in wartime and people in peacetime. Military training after dinner.

In this way, the system of farming in the morning and training in the afternoon not only allows the soldiers to feed themselves, but also maintains a well-trained army for themselves~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It can also promote the surrounding commercial trade, no longer like before In that way, the peasants were led by the knights back to their territory after the battle returned.

The new policy promulgated by the lord shocked the farmers in the farms in the territory. It is always the privilege of the knight to accept the land rewarded by the lord. Loot in battle,

　　Cultivation in the garrison camp outside the castle requires only a handful of food to be handed in. This makes many poor farmers feel that they have seen heaven, and that it is the dream of these extremely poor farmers to live for life.

With the free propaganda of the peasant soldiers who fled back, the peasants in the territory know that their lord is the most generous person in this kingdom, and now this reputation is even more loud, and everyone knows that his lord is a generous and speaking Talker.

　　It was only ten days after the poster was posted. The number of farmers who gathered outside the castle and asked to join the army reached 1,378.

　　 This surprised Du Yu, who was not yet mentally prepared. The 1,300 soldiers were only in the heyday of the Falcon family, but they only had an 800 military force, including more than a hundred knights.

Other leaders mainly recruited soldiers to send knights to various villages to force them to recruit, but a random order of their own came to more than 1,000 people. It is no wonder that all the powerful countries in history have closely linked land to military merit. Together, this is indeed the best way to allocate war resources.

　　Like the people who are traveling all over the country but enthusiasm to sell insurance, the benefits are linked to the achievements, more work, more money, and getting rich is the reason why they endure the blind eyes of others.

　　The achievements of the soldiers are the military achievements, and the interests of the soldiers are the land.
