After two days of repairing in Oldenburg, Marin returned directly to Aurich with Adler. The sister-in-law Liv, because she was pregnant, did not follow the large forces, but waited for the spring carriage to be ready, then took the shock-absorbing spring carriage, and slowly rushed back to Aurich to find Mozgen and Battle Medical diagnosis, and afterwards, Auri will give birth and prepare for birth.
Along the way, Marin and Adler talked and laughed, a brother and brother Christine ... Abu ... is like brother Christine. After all, Marin is now a king, Adler is a minister, naturally Adler respects Marin.
Adler is almost 30 years old and much more sensible than before. He understood that his brother, from the moment he became the Baron of Texel, threw him away from a distance. Moreover, everything he has now is given by his brother. Otherwise, with his abilities, he would at most become an official knight in Mark's Kingdom and serve the Earl of Mark. However, John, Earl of Mark, is also Duke of Cliff. He usually lives in the Principality of Cliff and basically does not come to Mark. Adler just wanted to be appreciated, not necessarily to see the monarch himself.
The older the age, the clearer Adler is-his younger brother, Marin, is much stronger than him ... This strength means the mind, not the body and martial arts. On martial arts, Adler can finish Marin abuse. In terms of mind, ten Adlers can't keep up with Marin ...
Adler had also complained before, saying why he was not like Marin, inheriting the wisdom of his mother, Mrs. Mary, only inheriting the body of the father, it seemed useless ... Then, he was violently angry by the old Huffman. A beat ...
Of course, although Adler is not smart, he is not a fool. Although his wife Liv is also very carefree, he has no plans, but the old man Hamler Knight is not stupid.
As an old knight who has lived for decades, the Hamler knight will admonish Adler every time he visits his daughter-he will respect his brother Marin in the future. After all, Marin is the king, Adler is the minister. After many years, Adler remembers this.
So, along the way, although the brothers rode side by side, talking and laughing, Adler became much respectful. Even if he was riding in parallel, he was slightly behind Marin.
Marin also found this keenly, but said nothing. This kind of thing, he is not easy to speak, it is best to let it go. Now, Big Brother realizes that he is happy to see it. In the future, there will always be differences between monarchs and ministers. The boss was able to realize early, and saved him the hint and reminder.
The distance between Oldenburg and Aurich was not far. The next day, the army arrived at the east gate of Aurich.
Here, Angela, the hostess, personally took the lead and opened the city gate to welcome Marin's triumph. Standing next to Angela are the old Hoffmans and Jeffrey, Prime Minister of East Friesland.
Everyone's face is full of joy, as Marin's family and subordinates, Marin is good, and they naturally follow well. If Marin is defeated, maybe they will also be unlucky. Therefore, the happiness and laughter on their faces are real and natural.
In addition, it was naturally the families of the officers who greeted Marin and the soldiers together. The most worrying thing about a husband or son going abroad is naturally their loved ones. They rushed to the gate of the city and stretched their necks to see, hoping to see their husbands or sons jumping around. What they fear most is the bad news of the death of their husband or son.
Fortunately, Marin's expedition this time ended in a victory. Although there were thousands of casualties, most people survived under advanced medical methods. In the end, fewer than 1,000 people died. Of course, the majority of the soldiers killed were ordinary soldiers. The officers basically survived. Only one company captain had a left arm disabled and had to retire in the future. Today, the families who are eligible to meet at the gate of the city are naturally the families of the officers. Except for the family member of the captain with the left arm in tears and sorrows, everyone else laughed.
You should know that in this era of warfare, it is really not easy to survive many battles. Therefore, mercenaries also like to follow generals who win, and like to win battles. Because winning a battle means having a greater chance of surviving. The most reluctant mercenaries to fight are the harshest city offensive and defensive warfare. The kind of battle is basically to fill in life ...
Of course, the soldiers under Marin, although early in the name of mercenaries to serve under Marin. However, it is obvious that Marin trained them as regular soldiers and raised them as regular soldiers. Moreover, many family members have received East Frisian. Therefore, they were mercenaries at first, but now they have become regular soldiers under Marin's command.
As pawns under Marin, their family members lived very well under Marin's rule. The officer will not say anything, in addition to salary, there are some grange distribution. With the supply of fertilizer from Marin, although there are not many fields in Grange, the output is generous, which allows the family of the officers to live a life that can reach the well-off level of this era.
As for ordinary soldiers, if they bring their families to East Friesland, Marin will also arrange the families of those soldiers to the manor in his own name. Although the identity is still a serf, the identity of a military genre is much different from that of ordinary serfs.
What is the difference? Ordinary serf manor ’s treatment is to feed, and then give out a small amount of clothes, that is, enough to eat and wear. Of course, this treatment is already considered very good by serfs in other countries. Many serfs in the German region generally only eat half full. It is absolutely happy to be full. As for the clothes, the serfs must have been worn out.
But unlike in East Friesland, Marin is more like a farm with hired workers. Those serfs, as long as they work well, they will definitely be able to feed the whole family. Moreover, they eat brown bread. Although Kohler bread is mixed with a small amount of straw bran, the taste effect is not too great. At least, it's much better than the gritted black loaf mixed with mud and stones.
The treatment of ordinary serfs looks good. The families of soldiers in active service are better treated-as military families, the families of the soldiers are eligible to receive a certain amount of salted fish for free at the manor house during festivals. At the same time, every season, the whole family can get a set of clothes. Although simple, it also envied ordinary serfs to be impossible. Because ordinary serfs only issue two or three sets of clothes each year. As for the children's clothes, ordinary serf families basically use the clothes worn by adults to change them into small ones and wear many patches.
Military families not only have new clothes for adults but also children. So, in the ordinary manor, in addition to the children in charge, the children of the military family are the widest-they have new clothes to wear ...
In addition, Marin is also vigorously developing the cattle industry and intends to engage in dairy farming. If a certain scale is reached, all children of the military are provided with milk. Of course, because the number of white cows is still small, they can only supply noble children. But with the development of the dairy farming industry, sooner or later it can be supplied to children of the military ~ www.novelhall.com ~ In addition, in civil disputes in the manor. The person in charge will also obviously protect the army. Unless, the military is doing too much. In general, those civil disputes are both wrong. In such a situation, the manager directly stood on the side of the military, letting ordinary serfs envy, jealous, and hate ...
Of course, as a price, those pawns need to sell their lives for Marin. This time, there will be thousands of military servants who have lost loved ones.
However, the military preferential treatment system established by Marin is perfect. Those military families whose husbands or sons were killed still enjoy military treatment. Even better than ordinary military. The family members who were determined to be martyrs, like those of Hua Xia in later generations, are treated preferentially. The children are also raised by the manor and also provide priority educational opportunities ...
Therefore, in East Friesland (Oh no, it should be called the Grand Duchy of Beihai now), being a soldier is definitely an enviable occupation for ordinary serfs.
It is a pity that Marin has requirements for soldiers-don't be brave ... so most people can only envy ...
But in fact, they are also the envy of serfs in other countries-it is definitely a heavenly day to be able to eat, wear and wear warm ...
