Chapter 1098： New Hoffman Estate

Adler was very happy about Marin's proposal to exchange 500 Cossacks for thousands of immigrants. After all, that's 500 elite Cossack cavalry!

Not to mention, this is not 500 Cossacks, but 500 households with a total population of about 2,000. And ordinary people, even 5,000 households, may not be able to find 500 elite cavalry!

Therefore, Marin wanted to exchange 500 Cossacks for his thousands of residents. Adler was very willing. When he subdued the 500 Cossacks according to Marin's instructions, he would have 500 elite Cossack cavalry. Counting 50 cavalry and 150 cavalry, the number of cavalry in his hand will reach 700. Moreover, the combat effectiveness is very strong.

Thinking that he would lead 700 elite cavalry galloping on the Irish island frontier, Adler felt bloody.

Moreover, Marin also said that all Cossack cavalry and cavalry cavalry will be provided with Eastern European Mongolian horses with very low breeding costs. This kind of horse rarely needs to feed the concentrate, only after a vigorous exercise only need to feed some concentrate. Usually, just eat some grass, it is very resistant to rough feeding.

Unlike the European war horses rided by the knights, it is indispensable to feed the concentrate, which is very expensive. If all 700 war horses are traditional European war horses and feed the concentrate every day, it is estimated that it is difficult for the earl to raise 700 cavalry.

If you switch to a rough-horse-resistant warhorse, it would be easy to explode the cavalry. The nomadic people in northern China are obviously poor, but each time they invade south, they often have hundreds of thousands of cavalry. At that scale, Europeans are estimated to be scared to death. In the second westward expedition of Mongolia, 150,000 cavalrymen were dispatched and swept across Europe. If Wokuotai happened to be dead, everyone would return to their country to fight for the sweat. It is estimated that the Mongolian cavalry would plow Europe well.

The European way of raising horses determines that the scale of European cavalry is difficult to expand. After all, European war horses have to eat food every day, and European food is so expensive, it would be a ghost to have a large cavalry. Therefore, in the face of the large cavalry of the nomadic Turkish people, the Europeans could only defend against resistance and dared not confront the field.

...

The reason why Marin introduced rough-feeding Eastern European Mongolian horses was to form a large cavalry force. Only if the cost is low, the cavalry can expand the scale. When the cavalry is on scale, the combat effectiveness will be stronger.

In addition, Marin also plans to reform the heavy cavalry. This is because although the Eastern Mongolian horses are taller and stronger than the original Mongolian horses, they are only medium-sized horses and are not suitable for heavy cavalry.

Of course, the heavy cavalry mentioned here refers to the European plate cavalry. After all, the weight is there, no heavy horse can do it.

But there is a kind of heavy cavalry, which does not need heavy horses, that is Mongolian heavy cavalry ...

In order to improve the mobility of the heavy cavalry, Genghis Khan equipped most Mongolian heavy cavalry with leather armor, and the horses were also wrapped in leather armor. In this way, the weight is greatly reduced. Of course, some heavy cavalry wore the seized armor of the Song Dynasty and the armor of the Golden Kingdom.

Although it is said that this weakened heavy cavalry is indeed difficult to compete with the European knights wearing plate armor. However, there are many Mongolian heavy cavalry. Do you touch dozens of knights? I touched thousands of weakened leather armored heavy cavalry, to see who is more powerful ... Moreover, the Mongols will shoot horses, let you be a tin can ...

...

In fact, Marin is also seeking heavy cavalry reform. For example, he plans to use rhinoceros armor to equip the new heavy cavalry, and even use rhinoceros to make horse armor. In this way, the mobility of the heavy cavalry is greatly enhanced. Although there will be damage on the battlefield, because it is mainly civilian cavalry, not aristocratic cavalry, it is not a big deal to die a few.

However, for Adler's cavalry, Marin did not take too much care. In fact, for Adler, Marin sent him to the Irish island to play the live-action riding and cutting game. And Adler, a militant full of brain muscles, seems to like this game very much. After all, riding and hacking are Adler's childhood dreams.

In fact, Marin really wanted to play this game in person. After all, opportunities are rare. The indigenous people on the island of Ireland are very weak, and there is no danger in playing riding. However, it is difficult for a country like Beihai to give up, so he had to let Adler play by himself.

Not only did Marin want to play riding, but even Hoffman, an old man, showed great interest in playing riding on the Irish island. After all, he, an old knight, has hardly fought in this life. The fiercest fight in his life was probably the battle that saved Mrs. Mary, who was in distress at the time. Therefore, the old man came to be interested, wanted to put on armor, and went to Ireland with Adler to play aboriginal ...

Marin is full of black lines-Nima, the good old lady of the North Sea country is improper, and she has to go to Ireland to cut people in person. Isn't it a joke?

Not only did Marin object, but Mrs. Mary also strongly opposed the whimsical idea of ​​the old man. In the end, Old Hoffman could only continue to be his grandmother in the North Sea.

In order to make the old man happy, Marin studied Liu Bang, specially in the east of Aurich, imitating the Hoffman Estate in his hometown of Bochum, and rebuilt a new Hoffman Estate, also named Hoffman Estate. Moreover, they brought the old homeowner Zhuang Ding to the new Hoffman Estate and let them pay the old Huffman to play. (Note: Liu Bang imitated his hometown Fengyi near Chang'an, built a new town, and invited all the old people in his hometown to play with Grandpa Liu. This is the source of Xinfeng County in the Han Dynasty)

Sure enough, Marin's arrangement won the favor of the old Huffman. So he negotiated with Mrs. Mary and moved to New Hoffman Estate to live. But Mrs. Mary disagreed. After all, Adler ’s child, Muti, is still young and it is best to stay in the city. In this way, it is more convenient to find two doctors of Morzhan and Battle. The old man was helpless and could only say that it was all right to play at the new Hoffman Estate outside the city.

...

In fact, like Grandpa Liu, Old Huffman was not well adapted to his current life. Mrs. Liu is a civilian in the city, and is accustomed to drinking and bragging with a group of people who kill pigs and sell alcohol. After arriving in Chang'an, he did not adapt to the status of the emperor and could not talk to the ministers and nobles. It was not until Liu Bang built Xinfeng Town for him that he was happy.

The same is true of old Hoffman, he is a vulgar lower-level knight with no culture. Let him deal with those nobles, although it will be a little bit, but it is not suitable. If Mrs. Mary had helped, he would have collapsed.

Today, Marin trimmed his new Hoffman estate to meet his ideas and needs. But the old man put forward a condition:

"Look, did you get those old friends from me too?"

Malin suddenly reacted-Old Huffman and Grandpa Liu are not the same. Grandpa Liu is a civilian, and naturally he can get along with the civilians and be friends. But the old Hoffman was a knight, and the owner of the Hoffman Estate was actually his men, not worthy of being friends with him. So, old Hoffman thought he was the knight friend in Markbo. According to age ~ www.novelhall.com ~ most of these people are in their 50s or 60s, and their days are running out ...

"But people are nobles anyway, can they come easily?" Marin was distressed. The banker asked them to move easily. Those old knights, no matter how they are nobles, how can they easily move over?

"What's the matter? You can build some manor houses for them near the new Hoffman Estate, and they promise to come!"

"Lying trough, just to play with you, how many manors will I send out?" Marin was speechless.

But he still made a compromise-Marin ordered that, next to the new Hoffman estate, several knights' estates were built and given to old friends of old Hoffman. The condition is that those old knights are coming to live and often come to accompany old Huffman to brag ...

However, the estates given to those old knights have shrunk. For example, each small estate has only 100 acres of arable land. However, this was given away in vain, and they did not take back their original old manor, so Marin was still quite sure that those people would come over ...

However, it takes time to build the new Hoffman Estate and several other small estates. Old Hoffman said-the old man first went to Emden Port to watch the upcoming Cavaliers Competition ...
