King of German Mercenaries

After hearing that the eldest son and second son wanted to follow a knight as a follower, Hartmann hurried back. Seeing Marin so young, she couldn't help but murmur.

However, the medieval Europe was so strict that he didn't dare to dispute. Moreover, some people are willing to take over the eldest son of his big stomach king, he is also a little happy. I just hope that this young knight will not be poorly eaten by his eldest son. In that case, the eldest son will be fired again.

After the two sides have discussed, Marin naturally intends to let Kahn hold the bulky plate armor, lance and horse armor (although it is made of wood), and he will also be happy and the horse will be easier.

However, although Kahn's strength is strong, but he has been carrying things that are dozens of pounds heavy, it is also very stressful. At the moment, Marin does not have the money to buy horses for Kahn and Kohler, and the cost of raising horses is also high. So, Marin thought about it, and decided to ask Zimmerman, a carpenter, to help him build a unicycle ...

Why choose a unicycle? This is not just because unicycles can pull goods. When it comes to pulling goods, two-wheeled carts load more. However, the two-wheeled cart has a disadvantage-it is not able to walk on complicated terrain.

The wheelbarrow can ignore the terrain and enjoy the mountain roads. Because a unicycle has only one wheel, it has a strong ability to overcome complex terrain.

There are many mountain roads from southern Germany to Vienna, Austria. Therefore, all-terrain unicycles are more suitable than two-wheeled carts.

Marin and Zimmerman returned to the city, came to the carpenter's shop where Zimmermann worked, and began to build unicycles.

Also, there are unicycles in Europe. However, unicycles in Europe have front wheels that cause people to push up, and they need to bear a lot of lifting power. Therefore, the load of unicycles in Europe is small.

Marin directed Zimmerman to build a Chinese unicycle. Chinese unicycle with wheels in the middle. In this way, the load on the car is mainly on the wheels. The person pushing the cart is less laborious. A European unicycle can only carry the weight of two or three people. A Chinese unicycle can carry six people, which is much more efficient than a European unicycle, and saves effort.

After the Chinese unicycle was built, Marin put the armor, lance, and horse armor on the unicycle. The weight of seventy to eighty pounds was nothing to Kahn of the cart.

Kahn is powerful and good at running long distances (also trained, the poor in the Middle Ages could n’t afford a carriage and walked everywhere). So he pushed the unicycle very easily. Even, sometimes his brother Kohler was tired, and Kahn let Kohler sit in a wheelbarrow for a while. And he continued to push the car and follow Marin riding on the horse.

Marin is also much more relaxed. After the dozens of pounds of armored weapons are thrown off, he is much more relaxed. Feeling as relaxed as he is, there is also War Makar. If it wasn't for Marin controlling the speed, a lot of Carl would have wanted to get up.

Kahn is really edible, eating at least 6 pounds of food a day (mainly dark brown bread, normal bread without soil and wood shavings) and some vegetables, and sometimes meat, which costs about 10 fennies per day on average . Marin now has little money, so he has to take Kahn and Kohler to a low-grade hotel. If the room was bigger, Marin had Kahn and Kohler make a floor. If it is smaller, let Kahn and Kohler live in one, and he will live in a separate room.

And because he was dissatisfied with the dirty quilts in the hotel in this era, Marin himself bought a new goose down quilt (no cotton in Europe at this time, naturally no quilt), and packed it in a rainproof pigskin bag and put it in Kahn On the wheelbarrow. Every time he stayed at the hotel, Marin threw the hotel's original dirty quilts to Kahn and Kolegé. And myself, covered with a clean quilt. Kahn and Kohler, after all, are pure medieval people, and there is nothing wrong with it. The only thing that didn't suit me was that Marin forced them to take a shower ...

Then, these two goods are also refreshed by Marin, no lice are on the body, and the clothes are clean. This makes the two goods very unsuitable, after all, they are used to getting dirty.

Since Marin has two more mouths to eat, and one is a rice bucket, Marin decides to restart the hunting plan ...

Marin's plan is actually very simple. There is a long distance from the town to the depths of the Black Forest. It will be tiring not to ride in the past, and time is not enough. If it is still dark in the forest, it will be easily eaten by wolves.

For this reason, Marin left Kahn to stay at the hotel, watching over his armor and riding rifle. He himself, with a bow and arrow, rode with Kohler to the depths of the Black Forest.

Koehler is a 15-year-old child and a bit thin. Its weight is estimated to be only seven or eighty pounds. He and Marin rode together. In fact, it was not very different from Marin who was wearing armor and holding a weapon. For a certain period of time, Makar could stand it.

If you ride with the wild cow of Kahn, Carl is probably unbearable ...

Walking into the depths of the Black Forest, Marin dismounted and asked Kohler to hold the horse to wait for him outside, while himself, holding a bow and arrow, stomped quietly close to the deer herds in the forest ...

Relying on the cover of the tall weeds in the forest, Marin successfully approached a group of red deer. Then, at a distance of 30 meters, Marin took an arrow and opened his bow, shooting a strong male red deer. But when shooting other runaway red deer, Marin fired all his cannons ...

Of course, Marin is not discouraged, and it is already a good luck to hunt a big red deer. Later, Marin shot two more hares.

At noon, Marin tied the carcasses of wild deer and hare and placed them on horseback. He and Kohler walked back with the horse.

I returned to the hotel and Marin asked the cook to roast the two fat hares. As a result, Kahn alone ate a whole roast roast hare, while Marin and Kohler split another smaller one.

一 Early the next morning, Marin asked Kahn to push the red deer's carcass in a unicycle, entered the nearest city, and sold the red deer.

马 This red deer is smaller than Marin's last capture. And, because of the middle arrow, buckskin was slightly damaged. So Marin only sold 800 Finneys. However, this also made Marin very happy.

Seeing Marin making money so easily, Kahn felt itchy. The next day, at the request of Kahn, the owner of the Marinto Hotel kept his armor and lance, and he took Kahn and Kohler to the Black Forest again. Of course, because the horses were standing still, they had limited distance to the forest. Fortunately, they did meet their prey.

Kahn thought it should be easy to shoot wild deer with a bow and arrow, so Marin silently handed the bow and arrow to Kahn and let him try ...

Sure enough, Kahn had no talent for archery at all. He was basically hitting the ash machine, and it was ridiculous. After shooting 30 arrows, all the arrows were shot, and I didn't see a deer hair hit ...

Kohler also tried it, although the crosshair is much better than Kahn, but also missed ...

After all, archery doesn't happen overnight. Especially shooting wild deer tens of meters away is really very level. Most people may shoot a target 10 meters away, and they can hit the target a few more times. However, shooting prey 30 to 40 meters away will not be practiced in a short time. And those alert wild animals can't get you closer to him within ten meters. So, not an old driver, it is difficult to hunt with bows and arrows. It is easier to aim with a crossbow. However, in many places in medieval Europe, crossbow was banned. If you want to buy a crossbow, no one dares to sell it. Although the 15th-century crossbow ban was not implemented as thoroughly as before, it is difficult for the average person to obtain a crossbow. Because the nobles were also afraid that civilians would kill themselves with a crossbow, they mostly supported the prohibition of the crossbow. Crossbow equipment is only allowed in the army. Civilians who own crossbows may be accused of motives to assassinate nobles ...

After the two failed the attempt, they had to admire Marin's superb shooting and lament the power of the knight ...

In fact, Marin can shoot arrows and does not have a Finny relationship with the Cavaliers. It was boring in his past life, and he spent several years practicing in the mountains behind his hometown. Who is the average European knight to waste time practicing archery? There are only insignificant countries like Britain, knowing that knights can't fight France, they developed longbow soldiers.

Generally speaking, on European continent, only those old hunters are proficient in archery. With the advent of muskets, many hunters who followed the times also switched to muskets, giving up bows and arrows that were difficult to train.

After Kahn and Kohler abandoned the archery attempt, Marin entered the hunter state again. Kohler was clever, and he suggested that after Marin's sneak attack, let Kahn, a stupid big man who is good at running, go out from a specific direction, drive the deer herd, and drive the herd in the direction of Marin ambush. In this way, Marin can get a second shot. Unlike before, after shooting the first deer, the remaining deer fled directly.

Marin adopted this opinion, allowing Kahn to ambush in the other direction of the herd. When Marin's first arrow was fired, Kahn suddenly ran out, rushed to the deer herd, and drove the herd in the direction of Marin's ambush ...

配合 Coordination was not successful for the first time, because Kahn pushed the deer herd in the wrong direction. After cooperating several times, Kahn also gradually mastered the way to drive the deer herd. Even when the deer herd deviated from the intended direction, Kahn used a stone throwing method to force the deer herd to escape.

Marin found that Kahn was not good at archery, but he was good at throwing stones. Then, after her first stroke, the deer herd ran towards the ambush site of Marin ...

Facing the herd of rushing heads, Marlin took an arrow to open the bow and took another one. Then the deer herd froze and found that there was a trap ahead. Then they started to turn around and escape.

However, it takes time to forcibly stop during the flight and then change direction. After all, deer are deer, not humans, and their brains respond more slowly. The deer herd stunned when changing direction. But just like this, he was caught by Marin and shot a deer ...

The last count, with the cooperation of the three, for more than half a day, they actually hunted down three deer ...

"Sure enough, the team is more powerful. What does that say ... how many people have more power!" Marin was extremely emotional.

Imagine that when I hunted myself, I was always worried that the horse would be stolen. Today, when hunting, Kohler specializes in watching horses, and Kahn cooperates with driving prey, greatly enhancing efficiency.

The next day, Marin pulled the three deer into the city again and sold 1,900 Finneys. UU reading www.uukanshu.com was also a huge sum of money. At least, it was OK to feed Kahn and Koller.

After a while, considering that Kohler was not physically strong, he could not bear the long walk. So Marin spent 1,000 Finneys, bought a half-large calf, and wore saddles to let Kohler ride on the road.

Yaks are different from horses. Horses are more delicate and need to eat feed frequently. And cattle, usually just need to eat grass. Meals need to be added only when the farmland consumes too much energy.

I can say that the cost of raising cattle is much lower than raising horses. This is also one of the important reasons for the ancient Chinese farmers to raise cattle instead of horses.

Marlin bought cows for Kohler to ride, and there was a big reason to consider the cost of feeding. His own warhorse costs ten Finnies a day. If you buy another horse, the capital consumption will be relatively large. Therefore, buying cattle is the best choice.

The calf bought for Kohler suddenly seemed to have a good temper, and at first he did not accept discipline. But Marin first drunk the calf with spirits, then made a copper ring on the cow's nose, and the calf immediately became honest.

In the days that followed, Marin usually left the equipment in the hotel, and then took a horse and a cow with Kahn and Kohler, and went hunting in the deep black forest. The specific allocation is-Marin and Kohler ride horses, Kahn rides bulls. After reaching the ground, Kohler took care of the horses and cattle, while Kahn cooperated with Marin to hunt ...

In this way, this three-person gold combination killed the Quartet in the Black Forest, hunted many prey, and sold a lot of money. When they killed all the way to the Danube River in the east of the Black Forest, Marin had already earned more than 100 marks by selling prey and replaced most of them with gold coins.
