Chapter 93 (2/2)

Since ed to members of the aristocracy, such a reas absolutely very appealing Once they had their own property, these people would be closely attached to his side, and in case there was soest possible resistance to protect their benefactor and with this protect their own land as well

After all, humankind wasn’t driven by words and whips, but by their own benefits Putting it another way, as long as he could continuously fulfill the basic interests of the people under his rule, there would be no one who could shake his dominance

Unlike a traditional fief, Roland will grant them an area between a few acres and up to a dozen acres The territory could be used to build their own residences, and they could purchase serfs or hire farmers to take care of their fields, but they weren’t allowed to set up their own industry In contrast, the rewarded territory for a knight is close to two thousand acres, an area equivalent to a se The above-ht and his attendant’s for their war necessities, for example, it was needed to purchase their oeapons, armors and horses

Being awarded such a small area of land wasn’t of much interest to the aristocracy and as such wouldn’t encounterof independence for the people on the battlefield In Roland’s view, it was just like paying a retirement pension, which would ensure that the soldiers had a stable income even after retirement

At the sathen the centralization of power, and to avoid that the thought that “servant’s servant is not rant them the ownershi+p of the territory but no autonomy In other words, the land was still under the jurisdiction of the laws, regulations, and systems in the Lord’s area In a sense, they would becoenerations of farmers

After he had written down the concept for the reward system, Roland took a break and stretched his body Then finally he could start thinking about a field within his own area of expertise – R&D weapons

With the increasing speed of flintlock unners seemed to be a waste of ht independently in melee combat

There was a very easy solution to this proble a bayonet to the flintlock Roland didn’t expect his own e combat, instead they should only have the ability to defend theun wasn’t able to coe and they started a desperate attack

A weapon like a bayonet wasn’t so difficult toit in easy to understand words, it was just a sharp cone, and in the case of further i effectiveness, he could also add a blood groove into it The key part was the connection between the bayonet and the gun, the first bayonet was a blade which was connected to a thin wooden pole, which could be directly put into the barrel of the gun The advantage of this construction was that it was quite sie was also very obvious, if the bayonet was used the gun was unable to fire, and in addition, if it was used to stab someone, it could happen that the bayonet would become stuck in the enemy’s body

So Roland intended to produce the i type bayonet The bayonet had an iron casing added to the blade’s handle The inner casing diarooved barrel

One only needed to weld a piece of iron with a hole on top of the barrel After plugging the bayonet on top of the barrel and inserting a filling into the hole, it would becoular form, with three sharp blades, if pierced into the body it wouldn’t fall off, and it would also leave a difficult to heal wound

After the installation of the bayonet, the bayonet would be slightly longer than the barrel, and so also co bayonet, it wasas there was a sample, any blacksmith was able to reproduce it

But to enable the bayonet to play an important part in a battle, it was important to train the soldiers in how to use it

But Roland naturally didn’t know anything about it Fortunately, he reht had once boasted, that he was able to use any weapon So he just had to find hiht with a bayonet
