Summoning Total War

Chapter 68: Cretan Longbowman (Part 2)

The average height of male residents of Athens is about 1.65 meters, while the height of soldiers can be 1.5 meters or more. Women's body should be smaller, which fluctuates between 1.5 to 1.65 meters. Women who can keep up with some nutrition are even much taller than men.

   The so-called cowardly ancient human body is simply nonsense.

  Perhaps the overall height quality is not the level of modern people, but the height of the middle and upper class in the east and the west is not shorter than the modern people. In ancient times, there were many people with a height of seven feet and eight feet in the middle earth. One foot is 23 centimeters, and eight feet is 1.84 physique. Among the weapons unearthed in the Han and Tang dynasties, there are many long weapons of one meter or more than 1.2 meters. Those who deliberately belittle the ancients, do they think that the height of 145 meters can use such long weapons?

  In the middle-earth country, the reason for the real regression of the Han body's personality was the Qing Dynasty, which was during the Hundred Years War and the Opium War. After the founding of the country, the nutritional level gradually kept up, and the physique of the Han people began to soar. Often within one generation, changes in physique can be seen between parents and children.

   As for the so-called modern people are much smarter than ancient people, it is even more nonsense.

  The wisdom of modern people is derived from the accumulation of the times, standing on the body of countless giants, and the product of the explosion of scientific and technological knowledge. You, a scholar, cannot compare the IQ with the ancient illiterate farmers!

   You have the ability to compare with ancient scholars, and see who is playing tricks!

   To put it simply, since the emergence of civilization, the upper limit of human wisdom has not changed much. The key lies in the development of civilization and the popularization of knowledge.

   Anyone who has dabbled in history knows it.

   The most brilliant period of human civilization is not modern, let alone the so-called Han and Tang Dynasties and the Renaissance.

   The truly glorious and dazzling era of human civilization is the period from 800 BC to 150 BC!

   is the time when the ancient Greek civilization influenced the world of Western Europe, and a hundred schools of thought contended in the Spring and Autumn Period!

   is that era, which laid the foundation of human civilization.

   Time continued to move forward for a week.

   The southern plains ushered in a torrential rain. The torrential rains lasted for three days. The water of the Nedoria River raised a full 20 centimeters. Fortunately, the river was very wide and no disaster occurred.

   During this period of time, the progress of the construction of the territory had to be stagnated, and the training of the soldiers was temporarily put down, and they could work hard at home to create people leisurely.

   The cavalry unit’s training and organization are almost complete, while the Cretan Longbowmen completed the organization the day before yesterday and were included in the statistics by the "Total War" auxiliary system.

   Description: These shooting Cretans gradually adapted to their new weapon, the centaur longbow with powerful lethality. Cretans have been trained to be excellent archers since they were young. No one is more suitable for using this weapon than them, and the centaur longbow can only be truly powerful in their hands! The powerful arrows they shoot can easily penetrate the enemy's body!

   Crete longbowmen are equipped with leather armor and short swords, and their melee ability is still very low. So please protect these longbowmen.

  -----------------------

   After the reorganization, the Crete Longbowman has an extra long range attribute.

   This attribute comes from the longbow's greatly higher range than ordinary bows and arrows, they can shoot farther and more powerful arrows than ordinary bows!

  ………………

The season of    enters summer. With the hot and heavy rain, most of the jackals begin to shrink into the forest.

   In the hot summer, these creatures become very inert and like to stay in a cool place.

   In the autumn and winter seasons, it is the most aggressive period for jackals, especially in winter, these creatures will frequently attack human territory.

   Murphy's territory has won a rare opportunity to breathe, at least until the weather cools down from summer to autumn, he doesn't have to worry that these wolves will come out to make trouble. Not only have the gnolls in Murphy’s territory become safe, the Kazat gnoll tribe, which has been stuck with the human city-state, has gradually contracted its defenses as the weather gets hot, giving up part of the territory opposed to humans, and turning And inside guard.

   And the human city-state seized this opportunity to train its troops, preparing to harvest the winter wheat after the fall, and compete with the Kazat Jackal Tribe!

   At present, the main crops of human city-states are wheat and a high-yield crop similar to corn.

   Two seasons a year, winter wheat is planted around October. After the seedlings emerge, the weather turns cold and the wheat is dormant for overwintering. When the spring flowers bloom, the wheat turns green and grows rapidly, and it will be harvested around June. The yield of winter wheat is much higher than that of spring wheat. After the harvest in June, the human city-state will plant a crop similar to corn that is produced by the elves. This crop has a good yield and contains sugar. Generally, it is planted in rotation with potatoes.

   Although the main development direction of the territory is fishery, farming is the key to the growth of the human race.

   Fishery income can bring meat, but the main direction of production is still farmland. Because the spring wheat has been missed, Murphy's newly reclaimed land is mainly planted with potatoes and elves cultivated corn.

   For six full months, Murphy could not be so stupid to leave the cultivated land unused there.

   As early as the beginning of the trade, Murphy sent a farmer to the southern plain to learn about the crops grown by humans in this world. After some understanding, Murphy found that they had produced an extra corn-like crop cultivated by the Elves, but the other crops were basically consistent with Western crops. In order to ensure harvest in autumn and winter, Murphy immediately ordered half of the newly reclaimed 3,000 acres of fertile land to be planted with corn and half with potatoes.

   At present, the grain in the territory is mainly purchased from human city-states, and the grain Murphy in the treasury has not been used as a reserve resource for the time being.

   The advantage of an emerging territory lies here.

   Everything in the territory is dominated by Murphy. It can be said that more than 80% of the resources in the territory are under Murphy's personal control. At least until the nobles of military service were awarded, the land reclaimed in the territory belonged to Murphy, and half of the food income had to be handed over to the treasury.

  The farming methods of the territories are now developing towards collective farming, that is, all urban residents share farming tools, work together, and then distribute food according to the population.

  This kind of cooperation is still feasible in the short term when the population is not large, because Murphy has a great influence in the town! However, once the territory is upgraded to a city ~www.readwn.com~ the allocation of cultivated land to citizens is still necessary. Soldiers gain land for military merit, and then the military merit nobility system will gradually appear, and the strata in the territory will gradually improve.

   Murphy’s current budget is divided into three levels: nobility, citizen and poor. Slaves are not included in the statistics.

   The aristocratic system is composed of generals and officials at all levels. They are all talented people. Citizens are professionals and soldiers in various industries, and they are all skilled people. The poor are the more mediocre people among the citizens. They only own a small amount of land and have no right to speak in the territory.

  Everyone is equal to this kind of thing, unless Murphy is brainstorming.

   Otherwise, I would never do it!

  Abilities determine social status, and talented people naturally have to override others.

   To put it simply, after the territory develops into a city, Murphy will plan a first-class citizen and a second-class citizen class to stimulate the motivation of urban residents and allow them to strive for a higher status.

  In terms of emphasis, because this world is in a relatively primitive world with frequent wars, Murphy will focus on the military merit system.

   is that Murphy will deliberately raise the social status of soldiers. For example, as long as one member of a family joins the army, the whole family will become a citizen class, own a certain amount of land, and pay less tax than the poor class. Murphy deeply understands that in this turbulent world, the army is the foundation of everything!

  These are just his current general plans, which will change according to specific circumstances.

  The only thing that doesn't change.

   is that he will always maintain his dictatorship!
