King of German Mercenaries - Chapter 347

After Xun’s decision, Marin quickly wrote two secret letters, which were sent to Königsberg and Stockholm, respectively, to the head of Philip and the former Swedish regent Sten Sturre.

Then Marin thought about it and wrote another letter, which was also sent to Königsberg and handed over to Uncle Yuler, who served as Philip’s chief clerk in the Teutonic state, explaining the situation to him and asking him to act as a superficial The owner of the “White Water Company”.

After the messengers rushed and rushed to Königsberg and Stockholm without any effort, the head of Philip, Steen Stewart, and Uncle Yule received secret letters.

Although the three responded differently, in the end they all agreed with Marin. Among them, the head of Philip began to hesitate. After all, letting outsiders put 10,000 troops on their homeland is not a trivial matter.

However, Marin told him in the letter that the reason why the army was placed in the Teutonic state was because the surrounding forces put too much pressure on Marin. Marin will have big moves in two years, so he has to train tens of thousands of soldiers.

Moreover, for the quality of the training of the new army, Marin sent Schwartz, the number one general who followed him from beginning to end, to send out, showing its importance.

You know, Schwartz is not comparable to other East Frisian generals. From the start of Marin, Schwartz followed the left and right and was very old. Of course, this is not the most important. Most importantly, Marin told the head of Philip that the training of the East Frisian Army was basically carried out by Schwartz himself. And Marin himself is only responsible for giving guidance and directing military training. Schwartz is solely responsible for management. It can be said that Schwarz completed the specific training under the guidance of Marin.

However, the fighting power of the East Frisian Army is known throughout Europe. It is stronger than the Saxony army, and it has over 20,000 Saxons. Although Marin’s strategy was included, it was an indisputable fact that the East Frisian army had strict discipline and a strong fighting force.

Marin gave the conditions to allow the new army formed by the head of Philip to train along with Marin’s new army, all guided by Schwartz.

In this way, the 5,000 new army formed by the head of the Teutonic Philip Grand Army will completely learn the original “Marin square” and East Frisian-style training methods.

Not only that, Marin also gave a timetable. Marin said that at the latest in 1503, the 10,000 troops would leave Teutonic country to perform their tasks, which can also be regarded as a promise to the head of Philip.

In fact, the reason for setting this timetable was that Marin prepared for Archbishop Rovere. 1503 was the time of the death of Alexander VI in history. But in fact, because of Marin’s appearance in this life, Archbishop Rovere got “Cantrera” early. Marin estimates that the poisoning time of Alexander VI will be much earlier.

After receiving Marin’s assurance, the head of Philip finally made up his mind to allow Marin to place the new army in the Teutonic state and train with his new army under Philip.

Although the area of ​​the Teutonic State has been greatly reduced under the combined attack of Poland and Lithuania, it still has an area of ​​about 36,000 square kilometers.

Prior to his death, Philip had made enclosures in Teutonic countries, as Marin suggested. However, the Teutonic state is a business country, and the Cavaliers are more interested in doing business. Therefore, the 300,000 population of the Teutonic state is mainly concentrated in the four major Hanseatic cities such as Konigsberg. In other regions, the population is relatively sparse. Especially in the eastern inland areas, the population is sparse. Previously, the 5,000 new army commander of the Philippine regiment was training in a sparsely populated area in the eastern inland. Marin’s new army can also come with the new army of the Teutonic state.

Suddenly, Uncle Yule’s side naturally agreed to Marin’s request without hesitation. On the other hand, Stern Stewart was surprised when he received Marin’s secret letter. Because he is currently preparing anti-Denmark matters in secret, but that is a confidential matter. How did Marin know?

However, after much thought, Old Steen Stoure decided to accept Marin’s kindness. As the former governor of Sweden, Stern Stewart was well aware of the encounter between the main forces in the major European regions.

First of all, the Hanseatic and Kalmar alliances are hostile relations. The Teutonic state, as the leader of the Baltic business district of the Hanseatic League, has no doubt about its anti-Denmark stance. Therefore, when sending people to the Teutonic country for training, Old Steen Stoure was also very relieved.

Also, Old Steen Stoure knew the 龌龊 between Marin and the Oldenburg. The Jävre problem, old Steen Stoure did not believe that Marin did not want to solve it.

Obviously, this letter shows Marin’s determination to solve the Jeffrey problem. So after much thought, Old Steen Stoure chose to believe in Marin.

Then, Stern Stewart sent a group of effective men to the Teutonic State to learn new military command methods. The leader of the team is a young aristocrat named Eric Johansson Vassar … If Marin knew the last name of the leader, he would definitely exclaim. Because the surname of the future Swedish royal family is Vaasa. The famous Gustav II belonged to the Vasa dynasty. In fact, this person was the father of Gustav I, the founding monarch of the Vasa Dynasty …

Uh …

After discussing the relevant issues, Marin began to worry about the officers. An army of 10,000 has at least 40 companies and needs 40 company captains. In general, even the captain needs a stray knight to serve. This is because civilian education and tactical literacy are insufficient.

Although Marin began to run schools on a large scale in the East Frisian Land, the current stage of education is only at the elementary school level. By the time the officer was trained, I knew it would be a few years later. What Marin currently lacks is time. Therefore, although it is the safest way to train those little children, time really does not wait for anyone …

For this reason, Marin decided to-a crash course for young officers …

The so-called youth officer crash course is that Marin intends to select smart and brave young people between the ages of 15 and 20 to focus on education and strive to quickly train them into officers.

Although they say that unlike those young children, starting from elementary school culture from an early age may cause a weak foundation. But Marin couldn’t control that much because he was very short on time.

To this end, Marin intends to implement a simplified version of military and cultural education for these young people …

The so-called simplified version is to omit the knowledge that the youth reserve officers in the culture class do not need, and only teach them military-related knowledge, even words.

To this end, Marin took the time to write an infantry training outline, which shared 800 different words, mainly “Li Zheng”, “Slightly Rest”, “Turn Left”, “Turn Right”, “Forward”, ” “Fire”, “fire”, etc. words such as training and combat instructions issued by officers.

However, Marin planned to only give these 800 army common words when educating the adolescents of the crash course. As for the other words, we will not teach them together for the time being. If you are interested, you can learn by yourself.

What Marin wanted was just a group of officers who were familiar with combat instructions. Perhaps they are average. However, because of the training methods and tactics beyond the times, they can make up for their shortcomings. After the children who have received militarized education since childhood, Marin can completely replace this semi-finished young officer …

At the moment, Marin’s education in East Friesland, in fact, only includes children under the age of 15, and there is no education plan for teenagers over 15 years old. Because, according to Marin, these 16-year-olds will soon be able to work hard and waste in school. Moreover, it was too late to start education from the age of 16, and not much was learned. Because, time is not allowed. When they reach adulthood, Marin wants to keep them in school, and their parents are not happy.

现在 But now, in order to quickly get a batch of suitable grass-roots officers, Marin has to use a group of smart and brave young people. Because, Marin couldn’t wait.

You should know that Marin promotes a mercenary system, and grass-roots officers are very important. If a recruited Ranger is used as the commander, Marin will send the army to fight for the employer, and maybe those officers from the Rangers will be bought. Because those wandering knights were not originally East Frisians, and they did not have a sense of belonging to the East Frisian nation. Even if he betrays Marin, there will be no burden.

马 Marin chose to educate those young children from home. These children are from families in East Frisian countries, and their families are in East Frisian countries. If they dare to betray, the family will suffer. Moreover, Europe in this era also had the idea of ​​loyalty and patriotism. As an East Frisian, it is inevitable that you will lean more towards your own monarch. Even those wandering knights, under the same circumstances, will pay more attention to their national monarchs.

However, even if Marin thinks “quick” no matter how long it takes UU to read www.uukanshu.com to train young officers. Marin thought over and over again, thinking it would take at least a year. Prior to that, Marin planned to temporarily use the Teutonic Rangers as a grass-roots officer while training troops in the Teutonic state.

In this way, the wandering knights under the command of Philip the Great Teutonic State can also learn the authentic advanced command methods, and Marin has enough time to train young officers.

To this end, Marin selected 200 smart and brave young people from the national economy to participate in this youth officer crash course. Their mission is to memorize the 800 words that appear in the infantry training program within a year. In the future, military orders will not be used outside these 800 words. This will also facilitate unified command in the future.

因为 Because Marin’s one-year time is too short, Marin chose 200 teenagers between 16 and 20 years old. However, not all of these 200 people will eventually become officers. During this period, Marin will strictly implement the elimination system. Until one year later, the best 40 people are selected to serve as grassroots officers of the 10,000 army. The remaining 160 are eliminated, but they can serve as team captains who don’t need much culture …

新 This new army and this group of young officers were actually prepared by Marin for his father-in-law Archbishop Rovere. In the future, they will bring 10,000 mercenaries to **** Archbishop Rovere to Rome and help the Holy See to attack Florence in the future. Although, they may not meet the requirements of Marin. However, these 10,000 people were sent to Italy to fight. The combat effectiveness of the Italian army is generally weaker than that of the German army. Therefore, even if their tactical literacy is not enough, it is still enough to bully the Italians under the advantages of trap command methods and guns …
