Overgod Ascension - 580. Chapter 580 Militia (9200 plus)
The night was shrouded, and inside the manor house, a bright and warm candle was lit.
“Master! Welcome back!”
As soon as Wu Ming returned to the villa, Amelia stepped forward, took off her robe softly, grabbed Beatrice’s job next to her, and puckered her mouth in dissatisfaction.
“Oh! What do you have for dinner today?”
Wu Ming didn’t feel the slightest, but was delighted that this woman could enter her role as soon as possible.
“The main dish is roast lamb, the side dishes include onion soup and toasted white bread, and a bottle of wine. The olive oil produced by our estate is also very good…”
“Um!”
Wu Ming sat in the seat of the master and watched Amelia command the maid to place the tableware and deliver the meal. She also wore a maid costume, and her every move was very gentle with a mature woman’s taste.
“godfather!”
Celis and Cecil saluted Wu Ming. They were the only people who were qualified to dine with him.
“Amelia!”
After Wu Ming had eaten it, the silver spoon tapped: “I am going to appoint Qiao Fu as the captain of my militia and train more than 30 great boys for me!”
“My master!”
Amelia hesitated: “This may delay their farming!”
“So, I will compensate and choose to mobilize after the end of spring ploughing!” Wu Ming replied with a smile.
“Mobilization? Is there going to war again?”
For this, Amelia is very scared, because she just lost her husband in the last war and does not want to lose a stable life because of another war.
“No, it’s just the bandits! The bandits on the Tucker Mountains, as well as the wild people, always come to harass my territory and rob my people. As a lord, this is an unbearable shame!”
Wu Ming announced: “I will fight back fiercely, kill their warriors, take their women back, and turn them into our serfs! Work for us to make up for the sins committed!”
Okay, this is actually why there is nothing wrong with wanting to add a crime, Wu Ming still wants to supplement the manpower of the territory.
“However, I ordered Coff to take stock of our warehouse, but got disappointing news. In the entire arsenal, he only found five rust-covered swords, three long bows, and a dozen darts. There is a spear, not even a piece of leather armor…”
Wu Ming spread his hands.
“I’m very sorry!”
Amelia grabbed the skirt with her hands cramped: “My husband had already taken a lot of equipment with him when he set out… If you need new weapons, after the grape harvest this year, we may be able to get enough silver towers. Le come to buy them.”
“I don’t intend to blame you. I just state a fact and rely on the sale of grapes and olives to arm us. If we want to fight against the savages, I’m afraid we will have to wait until the next year!”
Wu Ming shook his head and said: “I brought five hundred Jindelong, you and Qiaofu take them, go to the nearest city, buy these equipment and come back!”
He handed a piece of parchment to Amelia.
These properties are all gifts from Alfred, and Wu Ming is not a miser. If he can use it to arm himself, he will naturally not miss it.
Amelia took the parchment and saw that it said-“Five pieces of leather armor, the most suitable for inlaid iron armor, twenty cross swords, fifty javelins, ten longbows, 1,000 arrows, fire Some oil, some rope…’
“Okay, what else can I order?”
“Hurry up, and you can ask Qiaofu to find out how to buy a crossbow. Don’t be stingy with Jin Delong, you can ask me if it is not enough!”
Wu Ming waved his hand and looked quite rich.
“I see!”
Amelia replied, although these equipment, in her opinion, is enough to arm a hundred regular army.
A few days later, Wu Ming stood on the playground, watching the farmers come to receive training at dusk.
They are all very savvy. Although Wu Ming is willing to do so, as long as he trains for a certain period of time, he can get a loaf of bread, and even a supplementary dinner!
The value of this naturally makes them a little reluctant. They come every day and gradually form a habit.
The seeds of the future army are here.
On the school grounds, there is still a big pot with thick fish, wild vegetables, and noodles. Wu Ming deliberately added a lot of oil and salt to it. That kind of unerring attitude made Amelia It hurts to see it.
Any high-intensity training without sufficient food and meat supply is a hooligan! Wu Ming would naturally not do this.
Of course, he didn’t have much expectation for his team of farmers, as long as they could understand simple commands, be familiar with the weapons in hand, and know a certain array, they couldn’t ask for more.
This is a world that is worse than bad. It doesn’t matter if your own army is bad, just better than other savages and lords.
“Lord Lord!”
Qiao Fu ordered the militiamen under him to line up, and came to Wu Ming with his right fist and bowed his chest to salute: “The militia brigade is assembled, there are 37 soldiers!”
“very good!”
Although watching the training, it can be described as terrible, but compared to their previous performance, Wu Ming can’t expect more.
“Disband!”
Following his order, the team broke up in a rush and came to the side of the cauldron. Everyone received a bowl of hot chowder soup and a loaf of oatmeal bread. They squatted directly on the ground and started to move.
Wu Ming issued an order that the oatmeal bread can be taken home, but the chowder soup must be eaten here!
This is to prevent those militiamen from taking their dinner home to their families as soon as they get their dinner. After all, there is precious salt, meat, and oil in it! This did not achieve his goal of increasing the physical fitness of the militia, so the strict order was not to be done, but at the same time, he opened his mouth so that the older youngsters could also come to train together and have a good meal.
To be honest, Wu Ming’s expectations for these teenagers are a little higher.
“Geoff!”
He looked at the veteran soldier next to him: “What do you think of those young men?”
“Very young…very immature!”
Geoff thought for a while and used two adjectives.
He looked at the young men with good energy with some doubts, and he didn’t understand why Wu Ming said so.
“Teach them the tricks I taught you first!”
What Wu Ming said was the same set of things taught to Ava, but in Qiaofu, he organized it more systematically, and only part of it was passed on at this time.
If you let it down in one breath, it would be too worthless. After all, it would be considered a pretty good method of knight training.
“That’s really cheap for those little bastards!”
Qiaofu had jealousy in his eyes when he looked at the teenagers, but he knew the weight of what Professor Wu Ming gave him.
Think about how much he suffered in order to gain a little warrior’s trick when he first went out and wandered around?
But now, they got it gently and skillfully.
“Let them give it a try first, and if they really develop something, then bring him to see me!”
At the beginning, it was nothing more than a simple exercise method, but if you can persist and have understanding, you will gradually become different from ordinary people and excel.
In Wu Ming’s view, this is a simple selection and screening method.
Of course, given the population and area of his territory, no matter how hard you practice your internal strength, it is useless. The most important thing is to go out to plunder resources, whether it is population, minerals, gold coins, markets…Only in this way can we achieve the fastest Speed develops.
Therefore, two months later, this militia team was ready to take shape, and Wu Ming couldn’t wait to lead them on the expedition.
“I know, many of you are on the battlefield for the first time!”
He stood on a high platform, looked at the many different faces below, but could not hide his uneasy faces, and said loudly: “But the leather armor you wear, the knives, guns and bows and arrows you hold in your hands are all piled up with Jindelong. Yes, and your opponents are just a group of wild people and robbers in fur!”
“Sophisticated equipment and experienced training are not comparable to them. What are you worried about?”
A good commander can motivate morale with words, and Wu obviously wants to be better.
“In the name of the lord, I promise that once you make a contribution, you will not only become a freedman, but even that piece of land, I will issue a certificate to make it truly belong to you! Even if you are killed or injured in battle, the manor will also Give you or your family a sympathy!”
This heavy reward and guarantee caused a commotion in the crowd. Soon the uneasiness in their eyes abated, but what emerged was desire! The desire to change one’s own destiny!
Become a free citizen and own land that truly belongs to you!
For these serfs, this is simply a lifetime hope! What’s more, even if they are dead or even disabled, there is no worries about the future, so what are they afraid of?
There is nothing to lose in the first place, so why not take a fight, maybe children and grandchildren will have the opportunity to become masters?
“Wow!”
Starting from the first militiaman, I don’t know who it was. They all wielded their weapons and began to roar. The look made Amelia watching next to him very dazed.
She knew that the people who appeared in front of her were no longer the cowering farmers, but a group of real soldiers who had been trained!
“I will bring thirty people this time!”
Wu Ming said to Amelia at this time: “I will leave the rest of the domain to you!”
Ordinary lords are naturally not as leisurely as him. In fact, there are many things on the territory, and most of them are trivial things.
As a lord, he usually dealt with disputes between two serfs in the manor court.
Wu Ming didn’t bother to do these short things in the parents, but Amelia was very comfortable, and he was very satisfied with being able to handle them in an orderly manner.
After confessing the territorial matters, Wu Ming stepped on the horse and sipped: “Go!”
“Roar!”
The soldier roared, with an eager expression on his face, followed the war horse out of the manor and embarked on the journey.
