In other words, spring is the season for those dead people to write, take the exams, and become officials.
Of course, there is no such rule in Lorraine, but children who have been hiding under the covers all winter will put on their most beautiful clothes and rush out of the house.
In spring, when the earth revives and everything begins to spring, men and women with normal endocrine systems feel as if they are being scratched by a kitten.
This is the best time to recite a poem, watch a play, have a picnic, commit adultery, etc.
As the saying goes, a year's plan begins in spring, and children who want to save some lives should seize the time at this time.
And in autumn, it’s hunting season.
Then it's time for the soldiers to go out and act like hooligans and show off their power.
This autumn is the harvest season. At this time, the horses are fat and strong, so everyone just comes out and has a good walk.
Moreover, in this autumn, all the animals are working hard to store food, and they are all round and slow. Not only are they easy to catch, but they are also fat and oily.
What's more, all the fruits in autumn grow, and it is extremely convenient to supply supplies on the spot. That's why we have this autumn hunt.
This can be regarded as a national system. Of course, it is not for the poor.
From the king of a country to the officials and wealthy businessmen of a county, they will organize autumn hunting at this time.
No matter they are nobles, gentlemen or ladies, at this time, they all have to put on special hunting clothes, ride horses and cross bows, go to the prairie or mountains and forests, let dogs run, hunt wild animals and so on.
To put it simply, it is a national fitness activity in which nobles participate.
During autumn hunting, rewards are often set up, or some competitions are organized. If it is officially sponsored, good performance may even have the opportunity to be promoted.
In this era when entertainment activities are scarce, ordinary people go to bed as soon as it gets dark, and nobles have banquets from time to time, but eating, drinking, having extramarital affairs, and having too much fun are just the same.
Therefore, the autumn hunting has become an annual event for the nobles. They will even prepare for the autumn hunting for more than half a year. It is also a place for the nobles to compete with each other and show off, especially the young people, who have the opportunity to be fair and honorable among ladies.
Show off your muscles in front of them.
Autumn hunting has become an excellent time for a father-in-law to choose a son-in-law.
This is not just a pastime. More importantly, it is to pass on the martial spirit.
Otherwise, if you let other gangsters bully you and you don't know how to fight back, then you can only honestly raise your hands and become a slave in a concentration camp.
The so-called "no matter how big the country is, if it likes war, it will perish; no matter how peaceful the world is, if it forgets to fight, it will be in danger". This is what it means.
Everyone is here to hang out, but they all know that everything must be solved by themselves. Only those with strong fists and many younger brothers can become the boss. They have never believed in any fairy emperor or savior.
Those things are all used to deceive the dead people below, let them have some illusions in their hearts, and work hard for themselves.
I thought I could shout a few slogans, get a god to pay homage to the dead people, and tell them, "Make me cows and horses, sacrifice your sons and daughters, and you will be nobles in your next life." Then you can collect their hard-earned money and build your own luxury cars.
, having a mistress and providing for your children to go abroad can only be said to be very stupid and naive.
That's too much looking down on those dead people. Although some of them believe that, there are also some unscrupulous people like Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Laobang, Spartacus, and William Wallace who don't believe it.
of.
If you want to get those people to hand over their money obediently, in the final analysis, it depends on the guy in your hand.
And autumn hunting is the best opportunity to show off your muscles.
In this era, in most countries, autumn hunting is as important as worshiping gods.
Although Uncle Lorraine is also a nobleman, the funny thing is that he has never participated in autumn hunting.
He used to live in a small place in the countryside. Because he was too poor, the local nobles were afraid of him borrowing money, so they pretended not to remember that their neighbor had Count Longyacao, and no one took them to play with him.
Later, Lorraine focused on fighting. When it was time for autumn hunting, he was leading a large army to hunt orcs on the prairie.
Facing the slightly cold autumn wind, Lorraine shook the reins, kicked the horse's belly, spurred the horse to run quickly, and came to a small hill. From a high position, he looked down the mountain.
All I saw were flags fluttering and trumpets blaring.
A long team was marching down the mountain.
The line of pedestrians was like ants. From here, only the black heads were visible. The front end had disappeared into the sky, but the rear end was still below the horizon, like a flowing black river.
Heavy infantry, light infantry, spear throwers, archers, heavy armored cavalry, light armored cavalry, engineers, baggage troops, war horses, carts, soldiers... countless teams formed a huge corps, raising a canopy
The dust covering the sky moved forward.
Wherever the army went, their appearance was neat and their momentum was unparalleled. The flying military flags, neat steps, and the killing atmosphere of the battle formation were like the autumn wind, sharp and sharp, making people feel chilling and frightened.
Anyone can see that this army is well-trained.
On the other side of them, less than two miles away, there was the same team moving forward in the same direction as them.
Although their team also had military orders, flags were waving, horns were blowing, and knights in full uniform were shuttled back and forth, the appearance and discipline of the troops were much worse.
From time to time, laughter could be heard among the team, and occasionally there was even the sound of playing and singing.
Occasionally, you can see young girls wearing colorful clothes and children walking back and forth among them.
And they are all mainly horse-drawn carriages and knights.
Those carriages were extremely luxurious, and they were all spacious cars pulled by four horses or six horses. From time to time, people stretched out from the carriages to greet and play with the people next to them.
Moreover, the armors on those knights are also extremely luxurious. They are all like mirrors, shining in the sun. The helmets are decorated with eye-catching decorations, like proud roosters. All of them are full of shit.
Extremely.
Behind them, there were countless attendants and servants, also wearing neat blouses with the crests of their respective noble families printed on them.
It was a team composed of dignitaries who came to the imperial city.
Due to the martial tradition of the Semitic people, even if these people are not good at martial arts, they still have to go out and swing around with swords in hand to prevent others from making noises and saying that they do not understand military affairs and have failed in their duties.
After all, according to the law, when a war breaks out, these noble children will be recruited into the army at any time.
This is all what Fiona told him back then.
These people were talking and laughing, fighting and making trouble. The knights rode their horses back and forth among the entire team, proudly showing off their equipment, and laughing loudly with the girls.
Lorraine just glanced at it twice, and then found that among the team, there was a very conspicuous little fat man riding a white elephant. He was walking in the middle of the team in a crowd.
He was not big, with a pair of expensive crystal sunglasses on his nose, and two pistols on a wide cowhide belt around his waist. He held his chest out, his belly folded, and his arms folded across his chest, making him look very cool.
Regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young, when they saw him, they all greeted him with great enthusiasm.
Not Leo...er, Chairman Lei Guanglei, which one is it?
This little gangster is now also a celebrity in the Imperial City. When it comes to the chairman of the Flying Eagle Lightning Company, who doesn't know him?
Now he is recognized as a very capable and well-rounded person.
And because of his cuteness and intelligence, Adeline, Fiona and other girls also loved him very much. They would give Leo a share of any good things first, and also give him a share of anything fun.
I need to bring Leo with me.
He has always been among this group of women with great energy, and now everyone is trying to please him.
And when those people saw that this little fat man, who was only a little older, was so proficient in business, they were all shocked.
If you have such talent at a young age, it will definitely be limitless when you grow up. Therefore, I don’t dare to underestimate him. On the contrary, I value him extremely.
This is a living God of Wealth~!
He now enters and leaves the residences of dignitaries without notice, and he is more familiar with them than when he goes to his own home.
Moreover, this little ruffian gave full play to his political talent in organizing, and gathered a large group of hooligans to follow him around and do whatever they want.
At this time, Leo saw Lorraine standing on the hill and immediately patted Xiaobai's ears.
When Xiaobai turned his head and saw Luo Lin, he immediately spread his legs happily and ran towards this side with a rumble of smoke and dust.
After a while, they came closer.
Lorraine saw that although Leo had been blown by the wind for a day, his little face was red and extremely healthy. He didn't know how his skin grew, but there was no trace of weather at all.
But Xiaobai's big eyes kept wandering around, and he kept glancing at his wallet with malicious intent. After taking a quick look, he quickly raised his head and pretended to check the weather, and then secretly took another look, probably looking for something.
Time to take action.
Lorraine couldn't help but sigh, and thought to herself: Xiaobai, this beast, is really spoiled by Leo. No matter who it sees, it will steal people's wallets.
Thinking of this, he immediately glared at Xiaobai fiercely.
Xiaobai saw the stern look in his eyes and Fei Dan didn't take it seriously. Instead, he grinned shamelessly and looked honest. He was just like a politician.
Lorraine shook her wallet at Xiaobai, then stuffed it into her arms, wrapped it tightly, and smiled at it with big white teeth.
Xiaobai looked at it, and immediately shook his nose angrily, then drooped his head and played with the grass on the ground in boredom.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel funny.
At this time, Leo said: "Boss, when will our next batch of goods arrive? Those people are waiting impatiently. They have urged me several times."
Lorraine thought for a moment, then spread her hands and said: "If you ask me, I don't know, but I guess I'm coming back. They followed me. They should have some experience. It's us who will contact them over there.
People, don’t worry.”
Leo couldn't help but said "Oh" and said with some reluctance: "It would be nice if I could urge them. Those guys must be hiding and being lazy."
Lorraine could only smile bitterly. Those ruffians were just following him for a short trip. If he were to send them out directly, they would definitely get into trouble.
Originally, Lorraine planned to make a few more trips to take them with him and lay out his intelligence network. However, there was a military exercise going on here, and as the commander of the army, he really couldn't get away.
And in this military exercise, he also has an important task. That is to win the position of marriage ambassador with the most outstanding performance. At that time, he can destroy the marriage between the Lingshan and Leishan clans.
Destroy their plan to raise troops to march eastwards.
At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "Boss Lei, come on, we saw a rabbit running past. Let's catch it quickly."
Leo was overjoyed and hurriedly said to Lorraine: "Boss, if you have a chance, hurry up and hurry them up. If you can rush them in time, our auction will be held during the field hunting. There are so many people there,
You can definitely make a lot of money.”
At this time, I heard someone below continue to shout: "Boss, hurry up, that rabbit will run away immediately. We can't surround it anymore."
Leo immediately said angrily: "Come on, come on, you losers, why are you urging me? It's going to kill you."
He turned his head and said to Lorraine: "I won't say any more to you, let's go."
As he said that, he slapped Xiaobai's butt hard.
Xiaobai glanced at Lorraine with disdain, then ran down the mountain quickly.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel angry and cursed in her heart: What kind of beasts are these? It seems like it's her fault not to let it touch her wallet. If her three views are not correct, she must educate it well when she goes back.
Immediately, I heard joyful shouts from the bottom of the mountain.
"You guys go to the left, you guys go to the right. The rest of you are going forward with me. You will definitely catch that fat dead rabbit. When the time comes, I will teach you how to make a roast rabbit dinner..."
As soon as Lorraine saw this, he heard the sound of the horn sounding again and again. Then, a knight galloped over on horseback.
He came closer, saluted Lorraine, and said: "Sir, our vanguard has arrived at the camp. The commander-in-chief has given an order to all the officers of each team to speed up and arrive at the camp before tonight."
Lorraine couldn't help but snorted coldly.
He looked at the long queue that could not be reached at a glance, thought about it briefly in his mind, and said: "I know."
The knight saluted and then galloped down the mountain.
Lorraine took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly toward the team: "Attention, all troops, Your Majesty has an order. All troops must arrive at the camp before tonight. Now, everyone marches quickly and speeds up."
Following his order, the horn sounded rapidly "beep beep beep".
The junior officers in the team immediately walked out of the team, and they all shouted at the top of their lungs: "Brothers, my Lord has an order, march quickly. Speed up, speed up~!"
While shouting loudly, they also began to wave the whips in their hands. As long as they saw anyone still in the slow fire, they would immediately beat them with a whip. The soldiers who were beaten screamed. Then
As if he had been given a chicken blood shot, he quickly got up and sped up.
Driven by them, the speed of the entire team gradually increased. Dust rose high under their feet and they ran quickly towards the sky.
By dusk, Lorraine's troops had arrived at their destination: Thunder Song Plains.
This place is also an important military base. It controls the grassland in the north and the imperial city in the south. In the history of the Semitic tribe, it is also a famous strategic location. In order to compete for control of the imperial city, the tribes within the Semitic tribe frequently fought civil wars here.
After the Semitic people opened this enclosure, they would go hunting and practice military exercises here every year to encourage the Semitic people's "martial" spirit.
This plain is huge, with beautiful scenery, abundant water and grass, and many birds and animals, including many ferocious beasts.
The open terrain is extremely suitable for military exercises and hunting. This is also a hunting land specially designated by the Semitic people for hundreds of years.
At this time, the early troops had arrived, and other regiments were slowly moving towards this direction.
I saw lead clouds hanging low under the gray sky.
Various military flags and banners have been planted all over the land, like an ocean.
All over the mountains and plains are brown cowhide military tents that are uniform and continuous, with no end in sight.
Countless war horses came and went through the loose trees in front of the camp, and the dust was flying.
People shouted and horses neighed, and the crowd was boiling like a tide.
As the sky gradually darkened, piles of bonfires lit up, like twinkling stars in the sky. Finally, they gathered on the earth to form a sea of stars.
In the distance, the approaching teams also lit torches, like winding fire dragons, stretching to the sky.
Since this was a military hunting exercise, everything from marching to setting up camp was in accordance with military regulations and laws of war.
Guard divisions were stationed all around to guard the position, with a Chinese military tent in the middle serving as the headquarters. A lookout tower was erected next to it, with soldiers on it carrying military flags during the day and lanterns and torches at night to signal orders.
Inside, dignitaries and dignitaries lived and were closely protected.
Walls, wooden fences, and trenches were also erected around the perimeter. On top of the walls, every ten steps or so, there were lookout posts more than five meters high. From a high position, you could observe the internal and external conditions.
Except for the Chinese army's camp, the camps of each Imperial Guard division are all organized into detachment units, with fifteen camps in groups. A wide road is left in the middle, which can accommodate four vehicles and eight horses at the same time.
In the center of each army, a general's execution ground was set up. There was a large amount of open space in the middle. There were fences and archery ranges where people could compete in archery.
And there is a high platform in the middle. Not only are military orders issued there, but also if someone commits a crime, they are executed in public here.
It was already dark at this time, and although there were troops coming from outside, all the soldiers from each battalion who had arrived had already rested.
They little brats have been running around all day, and they are all exhausted. They have long lolled out their tongues from exhaustion. Catching a pillow is like a vicious dog seeing a bone, and you can no longer kiss it.
Outside the tent, drums and horns were heard in the military camp, and the sound of fighting was heard. The guards were tight, and the deer antlers and firewood camps were all moved onto the road. The sentries in all directions were also wearing helmets and armor, and were in standby to prevent anyone from stealing the camp in the dark night.
But among the Chinese army, it was a different scene.
They were not participating in an exercise, but merely participating in a hunt.
Although their camp was set up according to military regulations, the restrictions were not strict. Everyone was enjoying themselves and enjoying themselves. Everyone was in high spirits.
At this time, many people gathered in the square and played everywhere.
Many nobles and ladies in the middle were also flirting and flirting, and there were also children and urchins walking around, laughing and joking. It was very lively.
Although the laws in the Imperial Guard are strict, they only govern the small soldiers under their command. For those at Lorraine's level, they are basically ineffective.
Moreover, the admiral was extremely considerate of his subordinates. As soon as he arrived, he recruited all these officers into the Chinese army in the name of convening a military meeting.
He also worked hard to let the officers and the bigwigs and dignitaries know each other by holding a cocktail party. As for who has the ability, whether he can catch the eye of the bigwigs, and whether he can flourish in the future.
It just depends on the individual's ability.
As soon as Lorraine walked into the square, she saw Fiona walking over with a lot of worries.
He couldn't help but feel strange, but before he could ask, he heard Deipole whisper: "Luo, you have to be careful, we have received news that someone wants to kill you~!"
