The Rise of Iceland

It took a few days for the leaders of the northern German state and the free city state to realize that the Principality of Iceland came to plunder its people from its own territory. They were very angry and subconsciously sent troops to let the Icelanders know who it was. The trump card, but before the assembly of soldiers and horses, I learned that Earl Olaf personally led the team, and there were many Viking knights. I thought of Gustaf II’s love for Olaf and the Icelandic Viking knights' ability to fight. , These masters endured it again, just swearing secretly.

In more than five days, Olaf and Pikku traveled to more than a dozen principalities of different sizes in northern Germany. When they returned, they could already see many farmers on the road heading towards Bremen. Walking, although Olaf also found some tax officials and military officers intercepting the people, more farmers broke through the blockade and embarked on the road to Bremen.

　　 Olaf and Pikku returned to Bremen in mid-June. At this time, there were already thousands of healthy German men and women in the city waiting to sign a contract with their children and belongings.

The commander-in-chief of the Bremen armed forces was the colonel officer who had dealt with Olaf before. The colonel pointed to the messy farmer in the city like a disaster victim, and said to Olaf: "Your Excellency, you are finally back, these people They will leave with you, you can take them away."

　　 Olaf frowned, knowing that Bremen was worried that too many victims would have public security problems and the spread of infectious diseases such as the Black Death, so he could understand, nodded and said: "Don't worry, we will leave after two days."

　　 Olaf walked to the dock and ordered a box of silver to be fetched. He said to several Bremen merchants: "I will trouble you to help us for a few days and teach my soldiers some simple German, and at the same time help maintain order."

Several Bremen businessmen finally agreed with great gratitude, and then Olaf said to Pikku: "Immediately call in soldiers and let everyone wear masks to check the registered farmers to ensure that there are no sick or disabled people, and then count them. Population, we plan to recruit 5,000 to 6,000 contracted white slaves. The population is best controlled within 10,000. If the number meets the requirements, we will take them on the boat, and then we will go to Ireland to pick up the Irish white slaves that Raleigh has found. You can go back to Wenlan with the soldiers!"

Olaf’s fleet has only 30 large ships. These ships have three or two decks. They are fully budgeted and can only carry 25,000 people with all the supplies and population. Olaf only takes Sally with him. Others It is the crew and the Greenland Legion. There is a population of more than two thousand people. The remaining places are excluding the thousands of people in Ireland, and the German contract white slaves can only recruit 10,000 people.

In fact, this number can be compressed and increased, but this will increase many risks on the road, such as the outbreak of infectious diseases and the death of a large number of people. Olaf is not a black-hearted rich man who transports black slaves. He is better for the current contracted white slaves. It is more able to gather their loyalty, after all, the current contract white slaves are basically the future Vinland Viking citizens.

Olaf’s fleet took two days in Bremerhaven. Even though German serfs from all over were still heading towards Bremerhaven, Olaf had already selected 6371 German contract white slaves with enough for 11,000 people. Among these people were 6371 German contract white slaves. Twenty percent are adult male bachelors, another ten percent are middle-aged and elderly families with some skills, and the rest are families composed of young men and women and children.

Olaf was very satisfied with these obedient and free German white slaves. After all the white slaves boarded the ship, he said goodbye to the mayor of Bremen and the captain of the colonel. Then the fleet anchored Yang Fan and entered the North Sea. in.

　　 Returned to Amsterdam from Bremen, picked up Polybrunn and others, weapons and ammunition, and the fleet went straight to Ireland.

　　 Just when the ship arrived at the port, Olaf saw Raleigh in front of the pier. He came to greet him personally. There were two equally strong young men standing behind him. Olaf recognized that he was his son.

After getting off the boat, Raleigh looked at the petite and beautiful Sally behind Olaf, smiled slightly, and whispered: "Blonde boy, is that Sally? Your boy will enjoy it, are you ready to buy it? ?"

　　 Olaf pointed to the large boats behind him, and said, "They are all on the boat. Let your people take them away at night, where are my people?"

"Don't worry, I've found all of them. There are two thousand good families, most of them are honest farmers, and a few are craftsmen from all walks of life, how about? The population is only 6000 people, not many! There are 2000 young people. Irish soldier, hand it to you. Tomorrow I will ask Al (Raleigh's eldest son) to bring someone over."

　　 Olaf smiled slightly, took Raleigh's big hand, and said, "You are always so happy and happy to work with Uncle Raleigh. You can do it beautifully!"

　　 "Haha, you two brats learn a little bit and see how Olaf can talk like that?" Raleigh laughed and waited for the two sons beside him to take a look, cursing.

　　 The two young men were a few years older than Olaf, but a few years younger than Olaf. It was when they were young and vigorous, they grinned at Olaf with a little dissatisfaction.

　　 Olaf laughed blankly and said, "Don't you put a high hat on me, I want to make friends with Al and Hull."

Raleigh laughed again, stretched out his big hand to hold Olaf, and said: "Okay, let's go back to the manor first. I have asked someone to buy a few barrels of pure water of life. Let's drink some good wine and let you young people meet each other. Friends!"

Olaf smiled and nodded, and at the same time asked Pikku to take twenty barrels of water of life as a gift to Raleigh, and then said to Raleigh, who was grinning, "Wine is not for you. Full of contracted white slaves, and the total number of people on board exceeds 20,000, I still took so many people to Wenlan for the first time. You have to buy some food and water for me, I am afraid that there will be not enough food on the road."

Raleigh said to Al next to him, "Have you heard? Earl Olaf told you to remember, leave this to you, go to our warehouse to pull the wheat, let someone make more bread and bacon, and try to prepare tomorrow. ."

　　 Al nodded and agreed and left on horseback first. Olaf took Sally and Pikku on horseback and followed Raleigh and his son back to his manor for the banquet.

　　 A lively banquet was held for several hours in the forest manor. The melodious organ and Irish folk songs made Olaf couldn’t help but hum along. When the night was over, the guests and the host were all happy.

　　 Olaf got out of bed until noon the next day because he drank too much.

As soon as Sally wiped Olaf's hands, Pikku and Gilfa walked in. They both had big beards~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and they looked alike, making Olaf a little dazed to think he saw the twins. brothers.

　　 rubbed his temples and rubbed the feces on the corners of his eyes again, Olaf said, "What time is it?"

　　 "It's 12 o'clock, Master." Gilfa answered first.

　　 "It's so late." Olaf mumbled and put on his thin coat, ready to go out.

Piccourt said: "The weapons and gunpowder we bought for Raleigh last night were all unloaded. In the morning, the Irish serfs and legionaries arrived. When I see you can’t get up, Bren and Polly will count the number first. Let them board the ship, I don’t worry if you just came back, do you want to go to the pier to see it?"

　　 Olaf asked, "Did Raleigh give me the food I want?"

　　 "Yes, I pulled dozens of carts and brought them on the boat together."

　　 "Okay, give him another thirty barrels of spirits and thirty jars of caramel, we can't let Raleigh suffer." Olaf said with a smile.

　　 "Okay, I'll take care of it when I get back to the dock." Picku hurriedly agreed.

After giving Pikku several things in a row, Olaf was a little dry and wanted to drink something, closed his mouth and thought for a while, and felt that there were no mistakes, so Sally was allowed to pack her clothes and stretch herself to find something. Raleigh, prepare to drink something, and discuss the many details of the Irish uprising, and say goodbye to him by the way.
