King of German Mercenaries

Marin was very depressed. He had been playing "Europe" at home, but it turned into the Holy Roman Emperor. It was high. As a result, my brother Li Liang called for help and asked him to fight.

As for the cause of the incident, it was because Li Liang went out to practice the stalls at night, and mingled with a group because of a dispute over the stall site. Then Li Liang was beaten.

亮 Li Liang naturally dissatisfied, so he called a few friends and was ready to get back where he was. Marin is tall and flexible, and has learned to fight with a veteran when he was a kid. Naturally, he is the "God Beast" summoned by Li Liang.

Marin just swept across the entire Holy Roman Empire in the game and became an emperor worshipped by all people. At this moment, he was boiling blood, so he said nothing and went on a used electric bike to "maintain the justice of the earth".

After a few older brothers arrived, Li Liang promised to invite everyone to eat hot pot after the event. Each pack of cigarettes, and then the atmosphere came up ...

Walking under the lead of the big man Marin, the brothers found a few young little yellow hairs still in the stall. Then, Marin was like a knight, spread his legs and launched a horseless charge ...

Several small yellow hairs were indeed fighting the five scums. Before, it was because of the crowd that Li Liang was beaten. Under the lead of the great horseman Cavaliers, the little yellow hairs were quickly beaten down.

But Marin was so proud of himself that he just rushed forward without paying attention to the danger behind him. Then, a sinful brick appeared behind Marin's head ...

Then, the horse's back was hit with a brick and lost consciousness ...

"Sure enough ... bricks ... broken martial arts ... God ... can't stop ..." This is Marin's last thought ...

Uh ...

After a long, long time, the ghost knew how long ...

Marin finally woke up, but felt very wrong. Because, with his eyes open, he did not see the white walls and soft lights in the hospital, nor did he see the scene of his rental house ... because he obviously smelled the green smell of grass ...

"I copy! Li Liang, you asshole, my brother was injured in your early life, you even left your brother in the wild, not even the hospital! What's the matter, labor and capital have to break with you!"

Marin scolded and thought about getting up, but he suddenly realized that this relatively young voice didn't seem to be his own, but he did make it himself ...

I have seen many Marin through the novel, and naturally I will not be unfamiliar with this bridge:

"No ... No ... Did you cross?"

Marlin quickly reached out his hand, scanning his eyes while seeing what he could see ...

Then, let him see a green body, a weird costume, and a pair of tender white hands that are obviously not his own ...

Suddenly, Marin's heart tightened-shouldn't he cross into a woman? Some time ago, "Prince's Promotion" was too hot, and he was very afraid of crossing into a woman. If you become a woman, in the future, you will be pressed by a man ... Malin Han's hair is upright, and I dare not think about it ...

With a tense mood, he skillfully instructed the "five girls" on the left to reach the lower part ...

After a few moments, Marin was always relieved-he was still a man, about, crossing a boy. Because, the hair hasn't grown up yet ...

Uneasy and relaxed, coupled with a strong hunger, Marin fainted again ...

Uh ...

After a long time, Marin was hungry ...

At the same time, a memory was fused with Marin's consciousness-obviously, it was the memory of the original owner of the body ...

阅读 Through reading memory, Marin learned that the original owner of this body was also called Marin. Of course, it is not the Marin of China, but the Marin of the West. More precisely, it was a young wandering knight named Marin Hoffmann in the German region at the end of the 15th century.

What is a wandering knight? First of all, this is a knight (mostly a trainee knight) and usually has a war horse, a lance, and a set of knight armor. Some knights and war horses have horse armor, which is the basic equipment. In addition, all knights have basically received strict training since childhood, are good at charging immediately, and are familiar with melee combat, and their skills are generally much better than ordinary people.

Knights were the lowest feudal lords in Europe during the Middle Ages and Renaissance in Europe. Above it, there are Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquis, Duke, Prince, King, Emperor.

But not every knight is lucky enough to get a fiefdom. Because, the knight needs to fight for his higher-level lords in order to obtain a fiefdom.

Moreover, the knights' fiefdoms are generally small, the size of one or several villages. For example, this little wandering knight named Marin, his family-the Huffman family, is a small knight family under the Mark country in the Ruhr area. This family only has a small village with little arable land, and the total arable land is only 100 Eugrams (an ancient Roman area unit. In the Middle Ages, an Eugram was equivalent to 2 acres, equivalent to 12 acres). In other words, the Huffman family has only 1,200 acres of land.

1200 acres of land, looks a lot, right? The Ming Dynasty, which was set in the same period, definitely made everyone feel comfortable and rich. However, thanks to the unfortunate agricultural technology of the Europeans in the Middle Ages, the agricultural output was so low that it was moving—the 1200 acres of the Huffman family put aside fallow (Europeans implement a fallow farming system, and the cultivated land is generally every two years Or wasteland for one year in three years to restore the fertility. Until modern times, European and American rural areas still have this tradition) 600 acres are not counted, and the remaining 600 acres of land can only produce 100,000 pounds of rye per year (Cologne pounds, one Cologne mark = 233.85 grams, one cologne pound = 2 marks = 467.7 grams). On average, the yield of rye per acre is only 166.7 pounds, equivalent to 156 kilograms. This is still a good harvest year. If disasters occur, the output will be lower, and the production capacity per mu will drop to about 100 kg.

The yield per mu is so touching that it is no wonder that thousands of people starved to death at every turn during the medieval period in the German region ...

There is even more powerful. The wheat per mu yield in this era is more touching. A large manor near Huffman Manor, the wheat yield per mu is less than 100 catties ...

Nyima, as a top student in the history department, Marin, the traverser, is very clear. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty in China, wheat yield per mu has stabilized at about 200 kg. In the Ming Dynasty, the rice yield in Jiangnan was high, and it could even reach 500 kg.

The crux of the problem, Marin knows in various crossing novels-that's why Westerners don't know how to use manure. Westerners did not know how to fertilize the land for a long, long period of time. They just smashed the ground again, and then sprinkled seeds and watered it. Then I went to do other things. Even serfs usually don't know how to weed weeds.

As for the feces, the Europeans in the Middle Ages basically urinate and pee, making the city everywhere, and there is a stink everywhere. This has also caused flies to fly around and the disease to spread everywhere. The black death that broke out several times in the Middle Ages was inseparable from the harsh sanitary environment in Europe at that time.

In the East during the same period, farmers even pushed dung carts to collect dung in the city as fertilizer for farmland. There are also children, who carry baskets to pick up feces and eggs.

The feces of Huaxia people have all come to the field, which has created the high yield of ancient Chinese agriculture and also supported the prosperity of Chinese civilization. European feces are all over the city, breeding a large number of flies, which has caused the outbreak of various European diseases ...

Well, Marin felt like he was thinking too much. The predecessor of this body became a tramp knight, a tradition of the Germans.

Since the establishment of the eldest son succession system in Europe, the other sons of the nobles have suffered. The eldest son takes everything, the other son can only watch the eldest brother take all ...

If it was the house of a big nobleman, it would be better. For example, the other sons of the king, although they do not have the right of inheritance, but the king ’s family has a great career. The great nobles, such as the Duke and the Earl, have a large enough territory to share some meat for other sons ...

The little aristocracy was unlucky, and the family had very few territories, just enough for the eldest son to live. If you share it with your brothers, everyone will have to drink the northwest wind. For example, for the 1200 acres of thin land of the Huffman family, it is already very reluctant to feed the eldest son (not only eating, but also feeding horses, purchasing and repairing weapon armor, etc., and supporting servants, which is very expensive). Raising a few younger siblings such as Marin Huffman is definitely hard to afford.

Therefore, the smallest feudal lords in the German region—the knights—were forced to make a decision—after the adult sons other than the eldest son were grown up, he was given a warhorse, a set of armor, and a rifle to let him Make a living by yourself. As for daughters, some poor nobles even sent their daughters to the monastery as nuns in order to save their dowry.

Under normal circumstances, the children of these ousted knight families choose to rely on the nobles, such as being the guards of the nobles, fighting for the feudal lords and so on.

Of course, not every knight child who has been kicked out of his home has a good opportunity to find a great noble employer. Many knights who couldn't find a job had to wander around in search of opportunities for temporary employment. As a result, a new group emerged-Wandering Knights.

These wandering knights have grown up in the knight family since childhood. They have received strict martial arts training since childhood, and they have done a good job immediately. It is not a problem to hit two or three ordinary strong men. Some strong men can single out a group of robbers.

In fact, these wandering knights were the earliest mercenaries. However, they are all scattered people, seeking opportunities to serve the nobles and riches in the name of individuals, without forming groups.

It was not until a few years ago that Emperor Maximilian I, the Holy Roman Emperor, saw the powerful fighting power of the Swiss mercenary army composed of Swiss mountain people in the battle for the Burgundy region, and then began to recruit in the German region under his administration. The minds of mercenaries. Later generations of well-known German mercenaries began to formally appear during this period.

(Note: The Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I was crowned by the Pope personally in Rome until 1508, officially becoming the Holy Roman Emperor. Prior to this, the Emperor Maximilian I was actually a self-proclaimed, only God The empire of the Roman Empire recognized it. Without the crown of the Pope, foreigners only recognized Maximilian I as King of Germany. However, in 1508, Pope Julius II not only officially crowned Maximilian I, but also Allowing the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire thereafter does not need to come to Rome to be crowned, but to find a archbishop in his country to crown himself.)

It is now 1494, the time when Emperor Maximilian I was recruiting troops. Marin Huffman's father, Frings Huffman, heard that the Emperor had recruited mercenaries (Maximian I had already recruited a batch in 1487), and UU read a book www. uukanshu.com decided to expel the second son, Marin Hoffman, who was only 16 years old, out of the house, so that he would go to the emperor and become the emperor's mercenary.

Originally, according to tradition, Marin would not be evicted until he turned 18. But the old Huffman felt that the emperor recruited people, a rare opportunity. If you make a battle, maybe you can mix a noble title and a fiefdom. So he decided to let Marin go early.

However, he overestimated his second son's experience in the rivers and lakes. No, it was not long after he left the house. The original 10-coin toll of Marin Huffman had been claimed by a guard who claimed to know the emperor. Liar is cheated ...

Then poor Marin Huffman had no money to stay in or eat. In desperation, he had to go hunting in the wild on horseback. As a result, the meat of the prey can satisfy the hunger, and the fur of the prey can be exchanged for some travel expenses.

But Marin Huffman is a knight, not a hunter. Therefore, Little Marin couldn't hit any prey. Can you imagine a heavy armored knight, wearing heavy armor, holding a knight's spear, and chasing a dashing hare?

Carrying heavy armor itself will reduce the horse's speed and sensitivity. Where can you catch up with those wild animals? The slow-moving wild animals have long been hunted down.

And Marlin had no crossbow in his hand, and he didn't understand archery. Therefore, he can only go on horseback to chase animals ...

Finally, after not eating for two days, the little hungry little Marin accidentally fell off the horse and fainted in the grass while chasing a fawn. Then, he was crossed by Marin, the later Chinese ...
