Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 1033 Ivan the Slave

The war broke out, and the Chinese showed with practical actions that their destination was not Henrik's Principality of Sandomierz, but the Principality of Krakow, where the Polish king and capital are located.

Krakow, the capital of the Poles, was their real goal, but what Lu Yue couldn't understand was, why is Krakow, the capital of a country, located so southeast (in Poland)?
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Poles later moved their capital to Warsaw, which is too far away from the north and west of Poland.You must know that there is a distance of five hundred miles between it and Warsaw.But the distance to Shinra is less than two hundred miles.

On the way to Krakow, Xiao Heda looked at the city that had been blasted open in front of him. He really thought that the Wu army did not have cannons, and the Poles replaced the wooden outer walls of the city with bricks. Miss them?
What a joke.

Before the Europeans had learned how to block the city gate, Xiao Heda took the blasting team as the first mover, pushed the simple cave house to the gate of the city, dug the ground a foot, filled it with powder packets, and lit the match to open the hole. All the blasters in the house rushed back to the army formation with shields on their heads like crazy.A thunderous explosion shattered Radom's wooden city gate.

"Did you see the city ahead? It has been blasted open."

Radom City, two hundred miles south of Warsaw, is a very prosperous city in Poland. It is not only a transportation hub connecting the north and south of Poland, but also a long-term important trade center.But today is destined to be the day of suffering for this city!
Xiao Heda shouted loudly to the slave soldiers behind him, "The Great Qi Empire is invincible, and it is invincible. How dare you, a small country like Cuoer, dare to resist the majesty of the Great Qi Empire and the supreme emperor His Majesty?" According to the decree, being demoted to slavery is the punishment you deserve. But you were selected into the army by the respected His Royal Highness King Mu, which already proved your obedience and loyalty. But this is not enough. The complete obedience of the Qi Empire, if you want to prove your absolute loyalty to the empire, you still need to go through the test of war."

"Have you seen the city of Radom ahead? Go in, kill anyone who dares to resist, and use the blood of the enemy to prove your loyalty to His Majesty the Great Emperor. I will regard your military exploits and pardon the slaves of some of you Status. At the same time, you will be rewarded with one-third of the harvest after entering the city.

And whoever dares to take a step back will not only be beheaded, but your family members will also be beheaded..."

It has been a while since they entered Ross. Although no one has learned to speak Ross or Latin, they are already familiar with the European way of speaking and the slightly exaggerated admiration tone of Europeans.Just like the illiterate Mongols deep in the Saibei grassland.

The slave soldiers of a battalion were placed at the front of the formation. They wore leather armor, cloth face armor or cotton armor. Only officers and the most elite group of people could wear chain mail and armor, or it was very rare in the Central Plains. See stepman A.If so, each big furry bear looks like a steel tower.And even though they are slaves, this does not mean that they are not motivated.

Being controlled by their families, they have a strong and persistent fighting spirit.Because as long as they make military exploits, their whole family can be freed.What's more, there is the Eight Banners Army in front of them as a role model. Whether it is Anguo, Luo State, or Mu State and Wu State, there are retired Eight Banners Army soldiers.Of course, the feudal states treated the veterans and officers in the Lu Qi army more generously, but these slave soldiers would not bring themselves into it, and the Eight Banners soldiers were more in line with their appetite.And the generous treatment of the Eight Banners soldiers and generals from the vassal states is by no means what makes the slave soldiers salivate.

Competing for human resources with the feudal states are also the feudal states of the various states. However, Tianzhu is too hot, and Nanyang is humid and hot, and the climate is not liked by the Eight Banners horsemen such as Zhenghuangqi and Redqi, but the mountain infantry like Zhengbaiqi I like milder climates.

This also depends on personal aspirations, just like the choices of many veterans and military officers in China, many of them would rather farm at home than go out to make a lot of money.

As for the distant American continent, which one is too far away.The power of thousands of miles of ocean is by no means comparable to the distance of thousands of miles on land. If the former hope to earn a big inheritance for their children and grandchildren, migrating to the west of Anxi is their inevitable choice.

Here, any soldier of the Eight Banners can get a piece of land of [-] hectares. Even if the family has seven or eight people, [-] hectares is [-] mu, and the per capita can reach an astonishing [-] mu of land.What's more, the three hundred hectares are only for the most basic Eight Banners soldiers. Those soldiers who retired as officers can reach up to one thousand hectares, that is, one hundred thousand mu!
This is not a small number. It must be known that the European knights' fiefdoms during this period were only six to seven hundred acres, which was about four thousand acres in year-on-year conversion, which was not even enough.And the territory of a veteran of the Eight Banners can be compared to seven or eight knights, and the territory of a senior Eight Banners veteran can be compared to 25 knights. At this time, the French baron only has 12 knights.

The super favorable treatment is the magic weapon for the various feudal states to attract veterans of the Eight Banners and domestic veterans. The treatment of the latter is even more favorable. This can even be regarded as the Chinese version of the fief system. The 'tenants' in the territory do not have administrative power, let alone judicial power.Just a simple landlord-tenant relationship, with the exception of their slaves.

In view of the characteristics of the vast land and sparse population of the current feudal states, it is not uncommon for veterans and officers to have large territories. The most important thing is that there are people farming and grazing for them.

In this period, the landlord is not the landlord, but the tenant is the grandfather.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the occurrence of landlords and gentry encroaching on state rights.

And when the war broke out, these veterans and retired officers who were attracted by the super high treatment would become the backbone of the county soldiers [vassal army] and conscripts.

The slave soldiers of the Mu Kingdom are very honest. There are role models standing in front of them, and their relatives restrain them behind them, which makes them have to be honest.And really, the power of role models is huge.A land of at least [-] hectares is comparable to a baron's fief. Even in Ross, where the land is vast and abundant + the land is sparsely populated, it is still enviable.

"Come on, kill all the enemies!"

The five hundred slave soldiers seemed to be transformed into five hundred beasts, roaring wildly to the sky, and then rushed straight to Radom City.

"Block them, stop them quickly!" The nobles in the city screamed one by one.

The city gate was blown to pieces with a bang, which caught them by surprise.The nobles who reacted shouted loudly, and some of the brave men rushed towards the city gate with their own flags and swords.

Like two torrents meeting on a narrow road, the crashing sound attracted the attention of everyone on both sides.

The Poles urgently needed to block the gates of the city. They even organized archers to shoot outside the gates in order to cut off the new force of slave soldiers.But why didn't Xiao Heda guard against this move?The reason why cave carts were used to build the city gate before was because it was difficult for the arrows outside the city to completely suppress the defenders at the top of the city.

Now, a large number of archers outside the city rushed straight to the bottom of the city, and the intertwined arrows and crossbows were as dense as raindrops.

"Forward, forward!" A man as strong as a bear swung a mace, knocking away the two armored swordsmen in front of him like a fly.This is one of the leaders of the slave soldiers, a big Russian man named Big Ivan.

Wearing an infantry armor that is rarely seen nowadays, with a sixty-pound iron armor covering his whole body, Great Ivan is like an invulnerable iron tower, crushing everyone in front of him.

"Wansheng——" a burst of accents was not very authentic, but very joyful and passionate shouts broke out at the gate of Radom City.

Xiao Heda showed a smile on his face, he knew that Ivan the Great had won.
