The sky has been snowing for days and the temperature is extremely cold. At the Wincheston Manor Manor, Zhong Yate couldn't help but tug on his collar to let out the heat all over his body. He looked around and saw that the Dean and his son asked a skilled craftsman to make an oak long

The table was surrounded by officers above the standard captain of the Welsh Regiment, as well as two people, the Resident Adjutant Lynn and the Construction Adjutant Geer, who came all the way from the Barony of the Valley to Wincheston Manor on Art's orders.

Art picked up the beer glass on the wooden table in front of him, raised his head and drank with his Adam's apple squirming. A chill poured into his stomach and made him feel a lot more comfortable. He continued: "Guys, Wincheston is a good guy.

The place has mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, fertile soil, and a commercial road that crosses the territory and runs from north to south. I like it here."

"But this is an extraterritorial territory directly under the jurisdiction of the court earl Bernard. He will never tolerate us occupying this place, so there will definitely be a fierce battle in Wincheston. However, it is winter now and it is not suitable for the army to fight long distances.

During this period, Bernard will definitely be entangled in many disasters caused by the heresy incident, so I think Bernard will not be able to take care of Wincheston Manor until the heresy incident subsides in the spring."

Art put his hand on the stainless steel dagger on his waist and rubbed it, "Yesterday I told Odo that Wincheston Manor now belongs to us. He asked us how to deal with the palace and Bernard. My answer is simple, use a knife.

Deal with the sword."

"I have spent so much money training the army to cope with such a situation. I have sent a letter to the palace, requesting the palace to allow some soldiers of the Welsh Army to temporarily station in Winches in the name of completely eliminating bandits in the county.

Don Manor, wait for the snow to melt a little, and then go out to clear out the bandits."

"I decided to leave the first standard of the first company of the legion and the first standard of the second company to garrison, and leave part of the legion baggage team, cavalry team, and crossbow team to assist in the defense. In addition to Wincheston Manor,

The garrison is also responsible for controlling the Southwest Farm and Lane Manor. The palace has not officially sealed Lane Manor and Southwest Farm to me, so we cannot be careless."

Art cast his eyes on Kazak and Tuba, who were sitting next to Ron, and said, "Kazak is temporarily appointed as the commander of the garrison, and Tuba is the command adjutant. You two are going to lead everyone.

Keep these three places under control for me, and if there is an emergency, send the cavalry back to Beiguan to call for help."

"Yes, sir."

"Yes, sir."

Kazak and Tuba immediately stood up and responded.

Art turned his attention to Linn and Geer who came from the valley at the end of the long table. This time they were ordered to bring several skilled officials to Wincheston Manor to accept Art's mission.

.

"Lynn, Geer, I asked you to come here to prepare for the future management of the new territory. Wincheston, Lane and Southwest Farm have nearly 10,000 acres of fertile soil suitable for farming. There are also rivers, lakes, hills and dense forests in the territory. It is

An excellent farming land. The two of you and the officials you brought must check the conditions of the three territories before spring next April, whether the cultivated land has been reclaimed or suitable for reclamation, whether there are sufficient fish stocks in the rivers and lakes, and whether

Please let me know how to use water from rivers and lakes for irrigation, the number of laborers in the three territories, the shortage of farm tools and livestock, etc. The three territories have appointed village chiefs responsible for general affairs, and they will assist you. If there is really not enough manpower, you can apply for the same card.

Zach discussed seconding soldiers to assist."

"You two, remember, the valley is our home, but this is the granary valley at the door of our home. In addition to continuing to develop the valley in the future, I will also recruit a large number of people to farm in these places. You guys, these few months

What we do is to lay the foundation for the future.”

"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely live up to your important responsibilities!" Lin En now works as a adjutant in the settlement and the salary is not low, so he also wears a cotton robe and a sheepskin jacket outside, and he is occasionally arranged to go to the woods.

I received the teachings of Father Hamish in the Fort Parish School, so I also learned a few words of Wen Zou Zou.

Geer was relatively silent, and just stood up and nodded in response.

After arranging the important matters of garrisoning the army and civil affairs, Art began to prepare for the withdrawal of most of the Welsh Army. With the chaos imminent, Art must let the Welsh Army continue to train and strengthen its combat strength, but Wincheston did not train.

The venue and sufficient training equipment were available, so Art decided to take the other teams with relatively weak combat capabilities back to Beiguan to continue training.

"There are no worries here for the time being. It's time for the Wells Army to return to Beiguan to continue training. The sergeant major led the task force to escort the bodies of Dean and his son to Tyniec County and pick up the loans that the Knights of the Holy Order sent to the county.

, we will leave immediately as soon as they come back, and Otto will lead everyone to prepare for the retreat."

"Odo and Ron stay, the rest of the party is dismissed!"

"Sir, there are twenty-five four-wheeled iron carriages here and thirty horses pulling them. The grain farming tools and cattle animals collected from the Southwest Farm and Wincheston Manor have been sent back in advance together with the seriously injured soldiers.

These carriages are mainly used to transport the army's weapons, armor and food baggage." Outside Wincheston Manor, Spencer was introducing the material delivery arrangements to Art.

The gains of the Welsh Army's march north mainly came from Wincheston Manor and the Southwest Farm. The main seizures of the Southwest Farm were grain, farm tools and livestock, and the seizures of the Wincheston Manor were mainly weapons and armor and the treasures hoarded by Dean and his son.

A large amount of carriage cargo, and of course the huge sum of 380,000 pfennigs looted from Wincheston Manor. The battle was not too fierce, so many soldiers failed to make the first kill of the enemy, so they were distributed.

His military reward was less than 20,000 pfennigs.

After seizing 380,000 yuan, borrowing 500,000 yuan, and adding the remaining 100,000 yuan, Art now has nearly one million pfennigs in his hands.

In addition, if human power is also considered as wealth, there are as many as 135 war slaves captured this time. Art has no intention of engaging in slave trade, so these people will basically become war slaves for two years of "labor reform". This is

A main force in the construction of the Art Territory. Lawrence, who had just finished his temporary appointment as Northland Caravan Steward and returned to the Valley Barony Territory to resume his post as Construction Officer, had to be busy again.

On the second Wednesday of February, the clouds cleared and the sky became clear. The scorching sun for several days melted the snow on the ground, but it became even colder under the scorching sun.

The road south of Tyniec County branched off here, with one side following the muddy road from south to west to the border outpost, and the other side leading to the vast wilderness leading to Boulder Town.

There was turf in the wasteland, so mud did not form after the snow melted. A large team in the wasteland was divided into three square formations in the shape of a Zigzag. Each square formation consisted of two flag corps and more than 120 people.

On the left and right sides of the Z-shaped phalanx are two roving cavalry teams. In the recessed part of the rear groove of the Z-shaped phalanx is a group of crossbowmen carrying crossbows and arrows.

About two hundred steps behind the Pinzi phalanx, a baggage convoy consisting of dozens of carriages followed closely behind. Most of the carriages were filled with food baggage and excess weapons and armor, but one of the carriages was very special. It was inlaid with iron.

The carriage is a closed carriage with a grid, and the two pairs of wheels are also specially made widened iron wheels. Even the horses pulling the carriage are green and strong draft horses wearing horse armor.

Such a carriage is obviously not used to carry ordinary goods. Its biggest role is to transport gold cakes, silver coins and extremely valuable goods. The carriage is loaded with only one million pfennigs of gold coins and large silver marks, even though it is a large denomination of gold cakes.

Silver coins, but the weight is still very heavy. Even the specially widened carriage ruts have got stuck in the muddy road behind the snow several times. Every time this carriage falls, the seven or eight task force soldiers responsible for guarding it have to be in fear.

, although there are basically no large groups of bandits along the way and there is a huge army accompanying them, Stanley and the others are still extremely vigilant, for fear of slacking off at all.

Thanks to Dean and his son for their thoughtful consideration, they not only gave Art hundreds of thousands of pfennigs as a selfless gift, but also prepared a special carriage to transport gold and silver in advance.

The captain of the legion's baggage team glanced sideways at the special carriage walking in the team, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then looked at the slowly marching legion soldiers' phalanx in front, turned to the baggage officer Spencer and complained: "

Mr. Baggage Officer, you said that everyone is looking forward to rushing back to Beiguan Army Fort for two days to repair. Why do we have to practice marching in enemy territory at this time? Look at the torment of those soldiers, and we can only move at a slow pace.

."

Spencer followed a carriage full of armor, holding a few bone dice for gambling in his hand and studying them as he walked. After hearing the complaints from his subordinates, Spencer gathered the dice and put them in his arms.

He raised his head and glanced at the military formation in front of him, and replied: "The army command camp believes that marching in the field is very important, so we take advantage of the opportunity to quickly let the soldiers practice wartime marching on the spot."

As he spoke, Spencer remembered something. He turned his head and shouted loudly to the guards of the baggage train who were lazily marching on both sides of the baggage train carrying short spears: "tmd, what are you doing? This is a marching drill in enemy territory, and the baggage train guards must be on guard at all times.

You guys are just protecting the food, grass and baggage like this! Go and spread out to the two wings for me, hold the short spears for me! Please be more vigilant!"

The dozen or so soldiers who were lazily walking on both sides of the train, acting as guards, quickly held their short spears upright and clasped their hands tightly, steeling themselves and pretending to look around vigilantly.

Spencer turned around and muttered in a low voice, "It seems that I have to apply to Lord Odo to train a real baggage guard."

"Lord Transport Officer, what did you say?" asked the transport captain beside him.

"It's nothing. Didn't you just say that the army can rest for a few days after returning to Beiguan? Let's make a bet on whether the army can repair after returning to Beiguan. I'll bet ten pfennig that it won't rest."

Spencer turned to the other carriage soldiers around him, "Has anyone followed the bet? Yes? Bet one and pay five! Bet one and pay ten!"

No one around them dared to answer, they were afraid of losing.
