Chapter 4 The Success of Military Reform

It took nearly a month to go like this. In February 1007 AD, the list of fleets to the New World was not confirmed. Egil thought to eat more people to death. So while drinking hot coffee, he said, "It's cold and it's hard to leave now. Let's talk about it after the flowers bloom next year." This made a group of ship owners who owed a lot of debts angrily.

Of course, this also made a group of businessmen who were a distance from Oslo happy. Another round of new selling operations began... This year is destined to be a year of navigation.

"New World, Atlantis... I really want it too. So much gold... No wonder you run so far in such a cold weather." In the palace in Oslo, Artoria was enjoying the hot chocolate while saying to Egil beside her: "But it's just a few boats. Is it a big deal that all the royals follow? "

"This is not a big deal. You know, Hani, these ships are not only filled with gold, but also some good things that are hundreds of times more expensive than gold." As Egil said this, he also picked up the porcelain teacup, blew it gently, then took a sip, and closed his eyes with great pleasure: "It's like this thing, if it weren't for this long voyage, how about eating French fries with tomato sauce tonight?"

"You have been eating for several days in a row, and you haven't gotten tired of it?" Artoria complained.

"You don't understand. This contains a man's nostalgia and his feelings for a world." Egil sighed like this and shook his head at Artoria. Artoria couldn't understand any of the light yellow fries that didn't taste, and the sour red sauce, how could it be linked to what Egil said...

"There are not many tomatoes I got back this time. You are almost eating them all up now. Don't you leave a few species?" On the other side, Egil's cheap sister Aurora said.

Speaking of which, the thing was not mentioned at the beginning because the locals Aztecs thought tomatoes were poisonous. Several tomato potted plants were used as ornamental plants to fill His Majesty’s imperial garden. But after His Majesty saw these things, they changed their use and became used to fill His Majesty’s stomach. Although the taste was slightly wrong compared to later generations, the shapes were still similar. Looking at the familiar dishes such as fried potato shredded potatoes, fries, tomatoes and fried eggs... Egil couldn't help but recall that when he was a little lord, he ate air-dried meat, air-dried fish and black bread every day.

What? You said about the previous life? Who would remember the things that were so long in the previous life?!

That's almost that. She was sad about spring and autumn for a while, and she saw that she wouldn't have to eat it if she didn't eat it. So Wright also joined the ranks of robbing food. Although Artoria said she was tired of eating it, after the food was served, she still ate like a hungry ghost reincarnated.

This is a matter of fast hands and slow hands. Just like a woman...

Thinking of this, Egil subconsciously looked at the other side, eating quietly, while not forgetting to look at Artoria with contempt.

So things really go away.

"Forget it, it's easy. Tomatoes and other words, potatoes are high-yield crops..." In the middle of the night, he couldn't stand the hunger. Emperor Egil, who had gotten up to find food, held a corn cob and chewed it while talking to himself.

Speaking of which, Egil came to Oslo not just to welcome the Norman Empire's expedition. He had another thing to do, that is, military reform. As the largest military base in the Norman Empire, most of the system soldiers were trained here. Egil felt that it was necessary to sit in person for a while here. He thoroughly supplemented the army, trained it, and then went back to Krakow.

With the millions of gold from the expedition, plus the taxes in December, January and February, Egil, who had enough pockets, spent money, and was also very generous. Just say: Recruit 20,000 square infantry first, and the Princess Norman next to him almost drove crazy.

"There are too many, it's not useful at all!" Aurora shouted: "What are the soldiers who recruited so many squadrons? Because it looks fresh?! This army is useless in the mountains and jungle combat? Do you know?"

"Where are so many mountain jungles?!" Egil complained: "Cavals are useless in mountain jungles. Do I not want cavalry anymore? It's really... My main battlefield is Eastern Europe, continental Europe, and Europe everywhere. I used to ignore the long square formation. I was wrong with the construction of the army, but now I have money - I mean, I'm awakening now. Super long wooden cage and other things are the kingly way, which is the direction of the army's evolution in the future!"

"……………Forget it, you'll do whatever you want." Aurora was speechless after hearing Egil's willful statement. Perhaps because of the increasing power, Egil has been increasingly moving towards arbitrary behavior in recent times. An emperor who is becoming increasingly authoritarian, who does not listen to advice and thinks he is absolutely correct and absolutely invincible - this is the direction of Aurora's development now looking at Egil.

"Qin Emperor Wu.........Ha..." Aurora snorted lightly, looking at Egil's eyes flashed. After thinking about it for a while, he had to admit that this Norman Emperor did have considerable talents, and more importantly, his insight beyond the world, and of course, what was more important was that he had the help of a plug-in system. Such a guy did have the capital to become an arbitrary tyrant.

"I think that in the future, the army should develop in the direction of mixing multiple arms. The single thousand-man team seems to be a little outdated... Of course, other countries have not discovered this yet... If you say this, it cannot be considered outdated... Well, just treat it as if I am at the forefront of the world again. Hahahahaha... I am indeed a genius."

"I'm a little tired of hearing this... You're just a little luckier than others, and you're more experienced. Of course, I don't deny that you're a little clever." Aurora said this, and was naturally ignored by Egil.

"According to my design, the new Thousand-man team should have 60% of the super-long wooden warehouse, soldiers, 20% of the shield-holding short weapons, 10% of the two-handed soldiers, and 10% of the long-range soldiers. In this way, a comprehensive, solid square array with super-long wooden warehouses can be formed, with very strong comprehensive capabilities, to deal with future wars. I think I can first form a group of fierce experimental troops to see the situation..."

In this way, the experimental nature of which was named Norman New Army, a total of 10,000 soldiers were recruited. The ten thousand soldiers were assigned to ten infantry regiments to distinguish them from the old army and the Norman New Army. Each infantry regiment was designed by Egil, consisting of six hundred Norman phalanx infantry, two hundred Norman infantry, one hundred Norman assault infantry, fifty firewood soldiers, and fifty emperor's rage crossbow soldiers.

Besides that, these new army regiments have a notable difference to enhance their combat effectiveness—or, as the sour old army said: to show their own uniqueness.

Each new army regiment, in addition to the standard twenty-four officer corps and flag bearers (ten centurions, ten hundred-person teams with infantry axe shield battle flag bearers, chief and deputy chief and deputy chief, thousand-person teams with battle flag bearers, Norman Army flag bearers. So in fact, a Norman standard thousand-person team is one, two, four people...). There are also ten battlefield priests, one with the will of Emperor Egil, and a military band with twenty people, including trumpeters, drummers and bagpipers.

Such outfits and such enhancements have given new army soldiers a higher morale and inspired them to have a higher sense of pride. The cooperation between multiple armies also made Egil feel that these new army regiments are very powerful. At least, in several military exercises, the thousand-man teams that attacked the new army regiments with hatred failed in the end without exception.

Even when facing the strongest Norman Assault Infantry Thousand-Person Team, the new Army also achieved two wins and three losses - you should know that the cost of the assault Infantry Thousand-Person Team equipped with the Plate Chain Compound Armor and even the early full-body Assault Infantry Thousand-Person Team was 30% higher than that of the New Army Team.

In addition to 10,000 new-style army, the earliest Viking warriors, Viking long-handed axe warriors, etc., the old-style army that failed to even have the first military reforms were upgraded and supplemented, which enhanced its combat effectiveness.

After half a month of reorganization and expansion, the old-style army, which participated in countless battles with Egil, was upgraded.

This means that Egil's first military reform goal was finally achieved.

Fifty-five thousand infantry, fifteen thousand cavalry, ten thousand projection troops, six thousand three hundred imperial guards, two hundred cavalry guards. A total of 86,500 troops - plus ten thousand new army, and again supplemented with the 10,000 imperial guards. The 100,000 army expected by Egil was finally formed! An unprecedented, completely composed of regular troops, equipped with the most sophisticated weapons of this era, received the most rigorous training of this era, and armed with the teeth, was born in this way! This is the strongest military force born in Europe of this era!

On the parade ground in the center of the Oslo Army Barracks, looking at the extremely huge and majestic army, Egil couldn't help but shout this: "I think I can conquer the whole world!"
