King of German Mercenaries

离开 Before leaving Italy, Marin Pacole took a group of cronies to deal with the large numbers of horses. He even had a thick face and asked the Emperor for 30 war horses. To this end, Marlint pledged to bring at least 30 cavalry to the Emperor next time.

Of course, among the war horses he asked for, there were 20 excellent stallions without castration, and 10 excellent mares. European war horses are not the same as Eastern war horses. Oriental war horses, in order to calm down the war horse's temper and not to be misunderstood because of "Pick-up Girl", so the stallions are basically castrated.

For Europe, whether the stallions castrated depends on the wishes of the knights. Only those stallions that are too grumpy will be castrated. There are also some knights, influenced by Eastern habits, who choose to castrate their male warhorses.

For example, the 1,000 French war horses that Marin dedicated to the emperor had more than 300 stallions without castration. Strictly speaking, uncastrated stallions and castrated stallions have their own characteristics. Stallions without castration tend to be irritable, brave and explosive, but difficult to control. The so-called strong horses are mainly stallions that have not been castrated. And castrated stallions, because they have no desire or desire, often have a much better temper, and they are almost the same as mares. Moreover, the horse's endurance is also good. Although the explosive power is not as good as the castrated stallion, the endurance has been strengthened. They no longer have desire, eating and drinking and running have become the most important things in their lives ...

Wu Malin feels that it is reasonable for the Eastern Warhorse to be inferior to Europe in future generations. The Orientals castrated excellent stallions and became warhorses, leaving only bad horses for breeding, which would inevitably lead to a decline in horse quality. Because this is not in line with the principle of eugenics. Fortunately, the Mongolian horse in the east has strong vitality and a large base, so it is not extinct. But its overall quality has not improved.

For European war horses, many knights are reluctant to castrate stallions, resulting in many excellent horses that can be used for breeding. Therefore, European horses are getting taller and taller. This is like, Yao Ming's children must be very tall, and Pan Changjiang's children must not be the same. In ancient China, stallions like "Yao Ming" were castrated, while stallions like "Pan Changjiang" were kept. Therefore, Mongolian horses are not always tall and may even degenerate. Because the tall horses were castrated, and they could not leave powerful offspring ...

Marin salivated, and asked the emperor for a batch of war horses. Originally, the emperor refused. However, considering that these war horses were originally seized by Marin, and Marin promised to take part in the cavalry next time. So he painfully asked Marin to pick 30 horses, but it was far from the 100 horses Marin expected.

"What a stingy emperor!" Marin was dissatisfied. But this is also his own problem. Who told him not to leave some good horses first? Into the pocket of Maximilian I, do they have to take it out again? Think too much ...

Originally, the emperor also felt that the land given to Marin was too barren, and he wanted to reward some wealth. But Marin asked for a horse, and the Emperor directly took those 30 horses as an extra reward. As for the property that was originally intended to be rewarded, it is gone. If Marin knew this, she would jump up with anger. Because, in order to obtain these war horses, he also promised to contribute 30 heavy cavalry to the emperor in the next war. And if you accept the emperor's gift of equal value, you don't need to agree to this condition at all.

On Kohler's side, 3,600 horses were sold and only 1,600 were sold. Because of the war, Italy lost a lot this time, and many rich men were robbed by the soldiers and turned into poor people. Therefore, there are not many horses that can afford it. The Venetian, because eating too many war horses and armor, caused some difficulties in capital turnover. Besides, when they bought a warhorse, what else would they do? Which area is not selling horses?

So, Marin had 2,000 horses in his hands ...

"Wipe, there are 2,000 horses left, are you kidding me?" Marin was a little surprised. He didn't want to open a racecourse, so why do you want so many horses? Each horse is a king of stomachs. 2000 horses can make people poor ... Well, that's not right, it seems that Marin can currently afford these horses ...

"No way, Italy was severely damaged by the war, many rich men went bankrupt, or went elsewhere to avoid the war ..."

"Then we have these horses? Horses consume a lot of feed ..."

"Master, you have territory now, or else, we specialize in training horses?"

"Warhorse cultivation?"

"Yes, there are frequent wars and there is a great demand for war horses. We can breed war horses and sell them to those nobles!"

"Cultivation of warhorses ... is a good idea, and we also took the lead in obtaining a warhorse bloodline certification ..." Marin grinned. He intends to introduce some excellent horses such as Arabian horses and cultivate some excellent horse breeds.

"Koller, you hire someone who knows Soma, help select it, find out the castrated stallions, and return to the country to sell them. Those less strong uncastrated stallions are also sold. As for the mother Horses, which are particularly bad for sale, stay a little better ... "Marin was determined to cultivate the steeds.

The quality of these French horses is very good, they are almost reaching the level of war horses, but only a little worse. Such horses can be used for breeding, and there is a great chance of breeding war horses.

After selection, Kohler left 200 uncastrated stallions and 800 mares. In this way, there will be an average of four "wife" per stallion ...

"Hey, I hope you don't lose your kidneys ..." Marin looked at the stallions with bad intentions ...

After returning to the German region, Kohler took a group of cronies, sold another 1,000 horses along the way, and successively sold them out.

However, after returning to China, the emperor also planned to dismiss most of the army because there was no fighting. As for Marin's side, the emperor originally intended to keep it. However, Marin was anxious to run the territory and was unwilling to stay in Vienna.

"Baron Marin, you have to think about it, it is easier to improve your position by following 朕 ..." The emperor tempted Marin with his status.

"Your Majesty, is there any battle to fight now, and Chen Chen stays in Vienna for a long time? It is better to build my baron leader when I have time. However, once His Majesty is going to fight, Chen promises to bring his army to serve His Majesty." Marin was anxious to build territory, but he did not give up the opportunity to promote the title. Baron is always a low rank. Without an earl, Marin is embarrassed to say hello to others, and he must pay tribute when he meets the high aristocracy. He can now tremble in front of the Cavaliers, which is nothing.

Moreover, Marin also found that he had never mixed officialdom in his last life, and dealt with people a bit immature. Instead of exhausting your mind and playing with the black-bellied masters, it is better to go to your own territory and become the emperor.

"Okay, then you go back first, when 朕 has a battle, you must come!"

"The swearing by the honor of the knight, he will definitely come to serve his Majesty. However, if your lord has done a great job, don't forget to mention my title ..."

"You can rest assured, if you make great achievements, I will definitely not treat you!" Maximilian I was not stupid. Ma Linli made a great effort to make him earn more than one million gold coins, and it was almost profitable. He can't wait for Marindo to do such a great job several times. For a poor ghost emperor like him, money is more important than face ...

But when Marin returned to the station outside Vienna, his mood was bad ...

It turns out that many of my men are clamoring for home ...

马 Since Marin has distributed 100 gold coins to each of them, many people are satisfied. Because this is enough before they go back to their homes to build a house, buy a field and marry a daughter-in-law. For them, earning 100 gold coins is already at the peak of their lives ...

You know, the average German earns only 2 Finneys a day (many poor people earn only 1 Finney a day). In one year, it is 730 Finneys, which is equivalent to 3 pounds or 12 ducat gold coins. And 100 gold coins, equivalent to their salary for more than 8 years, is a huge sum. Coupled with the salary paid by the emperor before, and some small benefits of private fishing in Italy, it was enough for them to return to their hometowns. Therefore, many soldiers began to want to leave ...

Marin also regretted it a little bit. It is no wonder that later Frederick the Great did not allow Prussian soldiers to rob. It turned out that the goods were afraid that the soldiers would run away after they grabbed the money ...

But it's too late to say anything now, and since others want to leave, Marin is not reluctant. After all, there is no war now, and raising them is not easy. Besides, people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not good enough to take it. It is better to let those who want to leave to leave, and then find another opportunity to rebuild the team.

Of course, this time, Marin also taught a lesson-that is, don't give your mercenaries any money! Because if those mercenaries get enough money, they may run away.

Alas, Marin was thinking about it-mercenaries would definitely not do it, regardless of how much money they gave to the mercenaries. However, you can't divide the money immediately, because many mercenaries may run away when they get the money. Therefore, the best way is for Marin to temporarily "help" the mercenaries to keep the money they have collected, just like the time deposits of later generations. If the service period is less than a few years, no cash will be given to prevent mercenaries from getting money to run away prematurely.

As for the Bowen Gardner, Heit Basque sent by the Emperor, and Jason Chers from the Earl, and their men, they were transferred back by the Emperor and the Earl.

Because, Marin's team was obviously about to be abolished by the Empire. And those three were close relatives of the emperor and the count, and they couldn't be dismissed together, right? So they were transferred back to the headquarters. Moreover, they also learned a lot here in Marin, and when they went back, they expected them to train ...

Then, after statistics, Marin sadly discovered that the original 1100 men had "cracked" and ran away as many as 700 people. In the hands of Marin, only 400 men were left ...

"Good brother, talk about morale!" Marin patted the **** of those brothers who were willing to stay with him.

In fact, what Marin didn't know was that only half of the 400 people left were truly Marin's loyal and close friends. The other half are unwilling to go home because of identity issues. They were the sons of serfs and had a low status. The original serf owners had driven them away because they could not afford them, but they had not given up their slavery to make them civilians. If they now go home with 100 gold coins, they may be snatched by the serf owner. Because, according to the law, the children of the serfs are also considered the property of the serf owners. The property is not the owner's property?

The children of these serfs, if they return home with 100 gold coins, have a great risk of being plundered by the original serf owners. While in Marin's army, no serf owner had the courage to grab it. As for those who returned to their hometowns, most of them were civilians, or were serfs, but after being driven out of the manor by the serf owner, UU reading www.uukanshu.com has obtained the status of civilians recognized by legal documents. They were not worried about being plundered by the serf owners, so they rushed home to live a good life.

In other words, there are only 200 people dead to Marin here. Of these, 70 were from the earliest recruits from Marin. But Marin didn't know, thinking that these 400 people were all his diehards ...

"Brothers, if you want, you can take your family to Texel Island. I arrange for someone to build a house for you, and even to introduce you to your wife ..."

"Ha ha, really, Lord Baron, are you really responsible for helping us find our wife?" Asked one of his brave men who was frustrated in appearance.

"Uncle Ben said to do it!" Marin slammed his breasts.

"Long live Marin! We are going to marry beautiful women!" Then, a group of brothers fry pans.

This group of people, from a poor background, but not lacking courage and courage, are all good soldiers. Moreover, after this incident, Marin found their loyalty. Therefore, Marin planned to take them back to his territory and train them well.

For this reason, Marin remembered Germany during World War I and World War II. At that time, Hitler relied on the elite of the 100,000 National Defense Forces left after World War I and quickly rebuilt a huge army based on them. In the previous 100,000 National Defense Forces, everyone has become a grass-roots officer, fighting with a group of recruits, accompanied by a mustache to single out the world ...

He Marin intends to train these 400 people into excellent officers. In this way, the next time the emperor summons him again, he can quickly pull up a team based on these 400 men and charge him ...
