The Rise of Iceland

Vol 2 Chapter 33: Set off

     Herut City is very busy every day, even in the hottest July, the rhythm of Herut City has not slowed down.

   Hadar, Hudik, Hagrid and others led the militias to conduct training every day, preparing for the upcoming raid on the Wenlan hinterland.

  Yot, Heine and others led a white slave of Atang and all the savage slaves to construct the city of Herut every day.

   The remaining six Atang white slaves are responsible for the management of a piece of cultivated land and the collection of various materials.

   It can be said that in the whole city of Wenlanhrut, almost no one is idle. Even the children of Icelanders and white slaves are also learning characters and languages ​​under the leadership of Olaf.

   Olaf taught fifty to sixty children in the morning, and went to watch the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes by his white slaves in the afternoon.

  Pikku, as Olaf's personal servant, leads the work of more than 70 white slaves around the clock.

   Within a few days, Olaf’s white slaves cultivated two acres of sweet potatoes and three acres of potatoes.

   Olaf made a round of inspections and ordered the cessation of the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes, because the 100 pounds he bought had already been planted.

But the white slaves couldn’t take time off, so they were taken by Pikku to the fields outside the city every day when it was cooler, weeding and catching insects. In the era when there were no herbicides, insecticides and chemical fertilizers, the planting industry was sweat drops. Getting down to the soil is to rely on manpower to weed and catch insects in the fields every day, so as to ensure that the low-yield grain grows, scions and matures.

At noon, he ordered his white slaves to plant cabbage, broccoli, radishes, parsnips, coriander and watercress (watercress) on both sides of the river. Most of these vegetables have been cultivated for a hundred years, and watercress is the only one. European wild vegetables, later generations in Guangdong people like to eat, so Olaf has also seen and eaten it, and collected some vegetable seeds when he saw it by the canal and river in Amsterdam.

   Watercress is aquatic wild vegetable, which can also be planted in swamps and land, but the land needs to be watered frequently. It is a good yield green vegetable, and it is more suitable to be planted on both sides of the ditch of the Musk Niu River.

   Hagrid and others used to be extravagant when they wanted to eat vegetables. It was because the population was limited and there was no time and energy to grow vegetables, but now that the number of people is large, they can use more vegetables besides food to supplement and enrich everyone's table.

Therefore, not only the white slaves under Olaf were growing vegetables, but the other six white slaves in Atang were also managing farmland, cutting wood and quarrying, and they also planted vegetables next to the stream wetlands, especially those from Yiluji. Atang is the most active, almost copying the work of Olaf's white slaves, planting various vegetables on both sides of the upper reaches of the Musk Niu River.

   And Yiluji also applied to Olaf in advance, and plans to plant a batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in Olaf after they are produced, and try to plant a batch next year.

  Pikku felt that although the owner Olaf was only the owner of Atang, he could still influence and even order Yi Luji. If he wanted to, he might already be the owner of two Atangs.

   When Olaf led the white slaves to engage in agriculture, Hadar, Hudik, and Hagrid already felt that they were trained well enough to attack the savage tribes in the hinterland of Wenlan.

   On the morning and afternoon of July 10, Hadar, feeling well prepared, held two meetings of Viking Raiders as all leaders in the castle.

In the first meeting, there were only six stewards and seven paddle heads, a total of 11 people (Heine and Hoskurd’s dual identities). The meeting unanimously approved the militia to attack the hinterland of Wenlan, destroy the savages, rob the savages, and take prisoners. The strategic plan of the savage slave.

   The city of Herut is hundreds of miles away from the hinterland of Wenlan, and long-distance expeditions cannot be done by militia.

The 110 militias in Herut City are combat units. To enter the hinterland of Wenlan, you need to be equipped with a lot of white slaves and carriages to provide food and grass for the militia and help carry equipment and food. The real war is not a game. , Just a mouse click, the preparation work is very complicated and long.

   After discussion, Hadar finally decided to mobilize the food, dried cod, bacon, etc. stored in the cave warehouse as expeditionary food, and at the same time expropriate half of the large livestock in the city of Groot to transport grain, grass and weapons.

   Twenty male white slaves in each of the seven Atangs served as the militiamen of the expeditionary army to serve the militiamen. At the same time, they sought out two savage slaves who were loyal to them as guides and translators.

   From the manager to the oars, the capital approves of Hadar's decision, and then the afternoon meeting called the production team captains and conducted pre-war mobilization.

   Bai Nu came to Wenlan because he couldn't live in his hometown, so he ran out at the risk of death. Although he didn't like war, he didn't resist.

Especially the two conditions mentioned by Hadar made it impossible for the white slaves to refuse. The first is that the people who participated in the expedition can reduce the contract time of three months, which means that the white slave status can be shortened by three months and can become earlier. Free people.

The second is that if a white slave kills a savage warrior in a war, he can gain military merit. With the nose as evidence, a savage nose can shorten the slave time by one year. That is to say, if a white slave can kill six savage warriors, You can get the status of a free citizen on the spot, land and freedom.

   The conditions of the leader of Hadar are so good that people cannot refuse, but there are also requirements, that is, no one can escape in the war, and all escaped personnel will be exiled or even hanged.

When the male white slaves sold their bodies to buy the tickets and decided to come to West India, their life and death were ignored. Therefore, after hearing Hadar's words, almost no white slave production team leader hesitated. Everyone excitedly expressed their willingness to lead their team to join. Expedition.

Hadar, Hudik and Hagrid were very pleased with the performance of Captain White Slaves. After discussing it, Hudick selected the white slaves that night, and finally selected the ten strongest men in each production team. These are basically the team leaders. , And then led by a captain, joined the expeditionary force and became a member of the logistics force.

   The original production team was re-promoted by their respective oar heads as acting captain and squad captain, and continued to work in the city of Groot.

   At the same time, in order to protect the safety of Groot, Hadar ordered Kadir to be the captain of the city defense militia and manage ten white slave militias to guard the safety of Groot. If you are attacked by wild men, you can also mobilize the Seven Great Atangs to assist in the fight.

At noon on July 11, led by the three chiefs of Hadar, Hagrid, and Hudik, 110 militiamen and 140 white slaves brought twelve carriages, 4 ox carts and two wild men. The slave set off.

   This Viking militia brought the ardent expectation of more than 700 fathers, wives and children in Herut City and ordered them to leave the Musk Ox Valley with dignity and march towards the vast hinterland of Wenlan Island in the northeast.

Almost all the Icelandic Musketeers and White Slave Spearmen, and even most of the White Slaves, are lighthearted about the upcoming war. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com told them because of more than eight years of large and small battles, the same is true. The number of savages is nothing in front of the white people. What's more, the current militia team still has 30 matchlocks and more than 100 sets of advanced equipment, and it is really easy to deal with the small primitive savages.

   Unanimously, the various arms of the Viking militia on the marching road thought of the teachings of their wives or relatives and friends before the trip—

   "Do it hard! Grab more!"

In the current era, not to mention the rabble of militias, even the best mercenary regiments in the German region played the role of bandits in the war, sometimes not only to rob the people of the enemy country, but also the people of friends and their own countries. Scope to be robbed.

   Soldiers and bandits are a characteristic of the military system maintained by both the West and the East. The improvement of this situation is still through the future war. Modern warfare has prompted the emergence of modern professional soldiers and improved the quality of soldiers.

   Therefore, neither Hadar nor Hudik will stop the idea of ​​robbery by their subordinates, and even encourage them, because they are fighting a big fight, and robbery is a benefit.

   Isn’t the Crusade a holy war of robbery from top to bottom in the east?

   Fighting is a robbery In Europa, it has a long history. Even in the 21st century, isn't that beautiful country still the same logic?
