No matter what George thinks, he will eventually be unlucky. Otherwise, in history, he would not finally sell West Frisian to Charles V.
Charlie V is sincere, and his strength is too strong. The Duchy of Geddes was finally easily cleaned up by Charles V. In the end, the Duchy of Geddes not only lost West Friesland, but even the homeland was destroyed by Charles V. Then the Principality of Geddes ceased to exist ...
You said to find a backer France? Sorry, King Francois I of France was taken prisoner by Charles V. It is no good to find France ...
In other words, the present Principality of Saxony is really bad luck. Before, Duke Albrecht attacked East Friesland. Not only was he defeated, he also lost millions of gold coins, causing his finances to almost collapse. If it were n’t for the old Saxony brand, with high credibility and the ability to borrow money, perhaps the finances of the Principality of Saxony would have gone bankrupt.
So, not to mention that George Duke of Saxony has fought two consecutive battles with the Principality of Geddes (counting the activities of the West Frisian Resistance Army, there must be three battles), but they are all in debt. Of course, the previous deficit was not too serious, and the Principality of Saxony could afford it.
However, this time it was serious. Of the more than 10,000 people who were captured, most of them were reinforcements brought together by allies. These people must be redeemed.
However, the ransom of more than 10,000 people, with a total of more than one million Gulden gold coins, is absolutely unaffordable to the principality of Saxony, which is already in debt.
In addition, Marin spread some bad news to tell George ’s allies that George could not beat the French-backed Principality of Geddes, so there are not many people willing to borrow money. Even those who originally intended to borrow money will be frightened.
After all, borrowing money at this time is basically just playing with water ...
If George cannot borrow money and cannot get the army, there can be no chance to counterattack. Moreover, those more than 10,000 prisoners of war had to be redeemed. After all, that's not someone from the Principality of Saxony, someone from an ally ...
When the time comes, George will be exhausted, and he has no money to redeem his allies. Then, there was only one way to sell West Friesland. Anyway, I ca n’t get it back. It ’s better to sell it, and I can get back one million gold coins. If Marin can help him recapture the prisoners of war, the ransom of more than one million gold coins will also be saved. At that time, although George had no land, the financial situation would improve immediately, not only to pay off the debt, but also have a lot of surplus ...
Moreover, in this era, there are very few princes who can afford millions of gold coins. As for why Marin has so much money? It's easy to explain-doesn't the Principality of Saxony pay Marin 1 million coins? In addition, before Marin captured Denmark, it must have raked in a lot of money ... You know, Denmark is a powerful maritime trade country that can compete with the Hanseatic League ...
In fact, in the original history, George sold only 100,000 gold coins when he sold West Friesland to Charles V, which was basically a bargain. The biggest problem is that the Principality of George Saxony was dragged down by the war against the Principality of Geddes. Moreover, the sale of Severisland to Charles V also meant that Charles V would avenge himself. Therefore, it is so cheap to sell.
But now it is different. Marin quoted 1 million gold coins at the beginning, which is very affordable, and promised to help recover the prisoners of war. In this era, there is basically no higher bid than Marin. Besides, other countries are either unable to afford or cannot capture prisoners of war. They simply cannot meet this condition.
If there were no prisoners of war worth more than one million gold coins, George did not have much pressure to sell, depending on the mood. But with this huge pressure, it must be carefully considered ...
...
Not to mention George, Duke of Saxony, who left without worry, after Marin entertained George, he immediately began to approve the copywriting accumulated during this time.
These copywriters were carefully selected by Jeffrey, and they were all important matters that required Marlin to make a final decision. However, these things are not very urgent. Very urgent things have long been transmitted to Rome through the hotel post system, so Marin quickly got his idea.
As for those ordinary things, Jeffrey basically handled them directly. If everything bigger is left to Marin, Marin will collapse. He didn't want to process hundreds of pounds of documents every day like Qin Shihuang ...
Besides, Marin is actually a modern man in later generations. His vision may be much more advanced than that of the people of this era, but specific trivial matters are not handled as well as indigenous politicians like Jeffrey. So, basically, he just decided the big things and the general direction, and the ordinary government affairs were still left to Jeffrey and others. Only when it involves the use of large amounts of funds, the appointment and removal of important positions, and military issues, must he go through his instructions.
When Marin looked at the documents, he quickly looked at Sacra's proposal from Newcastle, England. For the problem of Sakara's use of eating meat, he successfully inspired the **** means of the English farmer who lacked the fighting spirit. Marin greatly appreciated that he had picked up the treasure. Anyone who loved learning could have such great ability.
After careful consideration of Saqqara's suggestion, Marin felt very promising. However, during group training, Marin felt that it was better to use sticks. In this way, it is closer to actual combat.
After all, no matter how good your bare hand skills are, it is useless to go to the battlefield. On the battlefield, that is the battle of weapons. No matter how strong you are with your bare hands, you can't reach anyone else, and you are stabbed to death with a spear. Unless, you can reach the realm of martial arts master with bare hands, you can win white blades empty hand ...
However, when training with sticks, although it is indeed closer to actual combat, it is also a big problem that it is more likely to be injured. After all, the blow power of the stick is much more fierce than the fist.
Moreover, according to Marin's assumption, stick training is not used for smashing, but for stabbing. Specifically, it is a combat training method that simulates a spear on the battlefield.
In this way, if people often use sticks to simulate spears for group fight training, the actual combat level will be greatly improved. It's just that if you poke with a wooden stick, even if you don't have a gun head, you can easily get injured.
You know, ordinary people fight, even if the fist hits the chest, especially the lower abdomen, it is easy to have an accident. It was even more striking to be stabbed in the stomach by a hard stick. If it was stabbed in the face with a wooden stick, it would definitely be better ...
If you do this, there will be a lot of casualties during training. Who is willing to train? Because of this, Saqqara chose to let his men fight with bare hands and did not dare to copy them ...
Marin thought for a while and thought that Saqqara's concerns were justified. Moreover, the equipment he distributed to Saqqara is very simple. It's not that Marin has no money to pay Sakara good weapons and good equipment. It is because that Saqqara is publicly known as a mercenary of a small and unknown Chamber of Commerce called the Morgan Chamber of Commerce. Since it is a Chamber of Commerce guard, it must not be well equipped. Otherwise, it will be suspected. Therefore, Marin did not give Sakara too good equipment.
The local army under Marin is different. In the Marin native army, the first three rows of infantry were equipped with chest armor and helmets with masks.
If you wear a chest plate armor and a helmet with a mask, then practice sticking with a wooden stick, the safety is very high.
In addition, in order to increase safety, Marin also decided that when training, the wooden stick used was wrapped with multiple layers of burlap to make the head of the wooden stick softer. Even if stabbed, the damage ability is greatly reduced.
As for how to decide the outcome, this is easy ...
Marin decided that during the group combat training, all the people who participated in the group combat training, in addition to the chest plate armor on the ship, wear a helmet with a mask, and the chest plate armor will also be covered with a black cloth vest.
Why should you put on a black cloth vest? Because the head of the opponent's wooden stick, which serves as the "gun tip", is also smeared with lime powder ...
Where the head of the wooden stick covered with lime powder wraps the linen, if it is on the black cloth vest of the passage, it will leave a very conspicuous white spot. It's clear where to poke the opponent.
When counting the scores, the referee observed from the side, who had a white spot in the heart, he was pronounced dead and out ...
This method ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is what Marin saw from "Water Margin". When the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi was assigned to the Daming Mansion, he often competed with others in this way when he played under the prefect Liang Zhishu, and often won.
When I was young, I liked watching the TV series "Water Margin", and often screamed "The river flows eastward." Marin, how could he not know this training method?
This training method is much better than the warriors in the Middle Ages in Europe who often assassinated the air or attacked the dummy.
After all, no matter whether it is an opponent in the air or a dummy made of wood or grass, it will never fight back. You then kick, kick and assassinate the wooden man or the grass man, at most contacting the quasi-head and proficiency, but it cannot be compared with real-life training.
Everyone wears protective gear and live-action pk. After a long time of practice, they will not be embarrassed when they are on the battlefield, and they will be experienced. In the later generations, when he emphasized the practice of assassination in the early years, he was wearing protective gear and using wooden sticks to contact this way. For the first time Marin saw such a scene, it was the scene of Zhong Yuemin wearing a helmet and chest protector, holding a wooden stick and assassinating Wu Mantun in the TV series Scarlet Romance.
The chest plate armor and the iron helmet with movable mask worn under his hands are much more protective than the protective gear, and the natural effect of training is better ...
