Chapter 579

In the dark, bright and warm candles have been lit inside the villa.

"Master! Welcome back

As soon as Wu Ming returns to the villa, Amelia comes forward, takes off her robe for him, grabs Beatrice's job, and makes her pout discontentedly.

"Oh! What's for dinner today? "

Wu Ming didn't feel anything. Instead, he was glad that this woman could enter her role as soon as possible.

"The main course is roast mutton, and the non-staple food is onion soup and toasted white bread, as well as a bottle of wine. The olive oil produced in our manor is also very good..."

"Well!"

Wu Ming sits in the master's seat, watching Amelia command the maid to set the tableware and deliver the meal. She also wears the maid's dress, and her every move is a bit of the gentle taste of a mature woman.

"Godfather!"

Celis and Cecil salute Wu Ming. They are the only people who are qualified to accompany him to dinner.

"Amelia!"

After Wu Ming ate it, the silver spoon knocked: "I'm going to appoint Qiao Fu as my militia captain, and train more than 30 great young men for me to come out!"

"My master!"

Amelia hesitated: "it may delay their cultivation!"

"So, I'll make up for it and mobilize after the end of spring ploughing!" Wu Ming replied with a smile.

"Mobilization? Is there another war? "

For this, Amelia is very afraid, because she just lost her husband in the last war, and does not want to lose her stable life because of another war.

"No, it's just suppressing bandits! The bandits in the tuck mountains and the wild people come to harass my territory and plunder my people all the time. As a lord, this is an unbearable shame

Wu Mingxuan preached: "I will fight back, kill their warriors, take back their women, and make them our serfs! Work for us to make up for our sins

Well, in fact, Wu Ming wants to add more people to his territory.

"However, I ordered Geoff to check our warehouse, but I got a disappointing news. In the whole warehouse, he only found five rusty swords, three bows, a dozen spears and a spear, not even a piece of leather armor..."

Wu Ming spread out his hands.

"I'm sorry!"

"My husband has taken a lot of equipment with him when he went out to battle... If you need new weapons, we may get enough silver talers to buy them after this year's grape harvest," Amelia said, holding her skirt in cramped hands

"I don't mean to blame you. I just want to tell you a fact. If we rely on the sale of grapes and olives to arm us, I'm afraid we will have to wait until the next year to attack the savages."

Wu Ming shook his head and said, "I've brought 500 jindelong. You and Qiaofu take them to the nearest city and buy them back!"

He gave Amelia a parchment.

These properties are gifts from Alfred, and Wu Ming is not a miser. If he can use them to arm himself, he will not miss them.

When Amelia took the parchment, she saw that it read: "five pieces of leather armor, of which iron armor is the most suitable, 20 cross swords, 50 javelins, 10 long bows, 1000 arrows, some oil, some ropes..."

"Yes, what else can I do for you?"

"Be quick. In addition, you can ask Geoff to find out the way to buy the crossbow. Don't be stingy with jindelong. If you don't have enough, ask me again!"

With a wave of his hand, Wu Ming seems to be very rich.

"I know!"

Amelia replied that although the equipment, in her opinion, was enough to arm a regular army of 100 people.

A few days later, Wu Ming stood on the playground and watched as the farmers came for training at dusk.

They are all very smart. Although Wu Ming takes the principle of voluntariness, as long as he trains for a certain period of time, he can get a loaf of bread and even a dinner!

The value in it naturally makes them reluctant to come every day and gradually form a habit.

The seeds of the future army are here.

On the school field, there was a big pot of fish, wild vegetables, and flour cakes. Wu Ming specially added a lot of oil and salt into it. Amelia was very distressed by her generous attitude.

Any high-intensity training without sufficient food and meat supply is a hooligan! Of course, Wu Ming would not.

Of course, he didn't expect much from these farmers, as long as they could understand simple orders, be familiar with weapons in hand, and know a certain array, they could not ask for more.

This is a worse world. It doesn't matter that our army is worse than other savages and lords.

"Lord!"

Chauffeur ordered the militiamen to line up and salute Wu Ming with their right fists: "the militia has assembled. There are 37 soldiers!"

"Very good!"

Although watching the training, it can be described as miserable, but compared with their previous performance, Wu Ming can't expect more.

"Disband!"

With his order, the team broke up and came to the edge of the pot. Everyone got a bowl of hot chowder soup and a loaf of oatmeal bread. They squatted on the ground and started.

Wu Ming issued an order, Oatmeal Bread can be taken home, but the soup must be eaten here!

This is to prevent the militia from taking the dinner home to their families as soon as they get it. After all, there is precious salt, meat and oil in it! This can not achieve his purpose of increasing the physical strength of the militia, so it is strictly forbidden to do so. At the same time, it is open to let the older teenagers from all families come to train together and have a good meal.

To be honest, Wu Ming's expectation of these teenagers is higher.

"Joe!"

He looked at the old soldier beside him: "what do you think of those teenagers?"

"Very young... Very young!"

Joe thought about it and used two adjectives.

He looked at those young people with good energy with some doubts. He didn't understand why Wu Ming said that.

"Teach them what I taught you first!"

What Wu Ming said was the same thing that he taught Ava. However, in Qiaofu's case, he organized it more systematically. At this time, he passed on only part of it.

It's not worth much if you spill it all at once. After all, it's quite a good way to train knights.

"That's a bargain for those kids!"

There was jealousy in his eyes when he looked at the teenagers. He knew the weight of what Professor Wu Ming gave him.

At the beginning, when he just went out to wander, how much pain did he suffer in order to get a little soldier's knack?

Now, however, they have got it.

"Let them have a try first. If they really have something, then bring him to see me!"

At the beginning, it's just a simple exercise method, but if you can persist and have savvy, you will gradually be different from ordinary people and stand out.

In Wu Ming's view, this is a simple way of selection and screening.

Of course, with the population and area of his territory, no matter how hard he works, it's useless. The most important thing is to go out and plunder resources, whether it's population, minerals, gold coins or markets. Only in this way can he develop at the fastest speed.

Therefore, two months later, the militia team was able to take shape, and Wu Ming couldn't wait to lead them out.

"I know that many of you are on the battlefield for the first time!"

Standing on the high platform, he looked down at many faces with different looks, but could not hide his uneasiness. He said in a loud voice: "but the leather armor you wear, the knives, guns, bows and arrows you hold are all piled up with gold dragons, while your opponents are just a group of wild people and robbers in fur!"

"Excellent equipment and experienced training are not comparable to them. What are you worried about?"

An excellent commander can inspire morale with words, but Wu Ming is obviously better.

"In the name of the Lord, I promise that once you make a contribution, you will not only become a free citizen, but also a piece of land. I will issue a certificate to make it truly belong to you! Even if you are killed or wounded, the manor will give you or your family a pension! "

This reward and guarantee immediately caused a commotion in the crowd, and soon the uneasiness in their eyes subsided, but the desire appeared! The desire to change one's own destiny!

Become a free citizen and own your own land!

For these serfs, it was the hope of a lifetime! What's more, even if they are dead or disabled, they have no worries. What are they afraid of?

There's nothing to lose, so why not take it for a fight? Maybe our descendants will have the chance to become human beings?

"Ouch

Starting from the first militiamen, I don't know who they were, they all waved their weapons and began to roar. That kind of look made Amelia, who was watching beside her, be in a trance.

She knew that what appeared in front of her was not the cowering farmers, but a group of trained real soldiers!

"I'll take thirty this time!"

Wu Ming said to Amelia at this time, "other things in the territory are up to you!"

An ordinary Lord will not be as leisurely as he is. In fact, there are many things on the territory, and most of them are trivial things.

As a lord, he usually deals with the dispute between two serfs in the manor court.

Wu Minggen didn't want to do these things, but Amelia was very comfortable. She was very satisfied with her ability to deal with them in an orderly way.

When he finished explaining the territory, Wu Ming stepped on his horse and drank: "go to war!"

"Roar

The soldier roared, with an eager expression on his face, followed the horses out of the manor and set out on the journey.
