Chapter 1559： 1 hit

From Augsburg to the northeast, after arriving in Regensburg, Marin has no horses to transfer. Because, his hotel post system is only set here. Further to the direction of Bohemia, it is not a popular route, and the hotel post system has not yet been established. Therefore, Marin and his cavalry can only rely on two horses to transfer to Prague.

All in all, Prague is the second largest city after the Holy Roman Empire after Milan. The Beihai Chamber of Commerce in Marin actually has a hotel post here. However, this route extends from the Saxony area to the north of Bohemia towards Prague, not to the southwest. Therefore, there is no place to change horses along the route taken by Marin.

As a result, it took Marin several days to arrive in Prague from Regensburg and meet Vladislas II, King of Bohemia and King of Hungary.

Speaking of it, the Marin and Jagelon dynasties are still allies. Not to mention, Marin ’s sister, Anne, married Sigmund I, the brother of Vladislas II.

Vladislas II was the eldest of several brothers of the Jagiellonian royal family. At first, the reason why he gave up the Polish throne and the Grand Duke of Hungary, the problem was that the monarch of the Bohemian kingdom had real power. Unlike the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania, they must discuss the problem with their respective parliaments. Therefore, Vladislas II would rather come to Bohemia as a monarch to speak and speak, rather than be a hypocrite in aristocratic parliamentary countries like Poland and Lithuania. The Polish throne and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania were directly thrown to his brothers.

And because his brother married Marin's sister, Vladislas II's attitude towards Marin was pretty good. When he saw Marin coming, he stood at the door of the palace hall to greet him, and also gave him a little face. After all, he is a king and has a higher status than Marin. It is impossible to meet guests at the gate of the palace. Being able to walk out of the hall entrance is already a good face.

"Welcome, welcome, Grand Duke Marin! Welcome to Prague as a guest!"

"It is an honor to be in Prague, the second largest city in the empire, Your Majesty!"

Then, the two sides carried out customary commercial blows. Marin praised the dignity of the Jagiellonian royal family and the prosperity of Prague, and Vladislas II also praised Marin for his young and prosperous, playing invincible in Germany ...

Moreover, when Marin is very capable of playing, Marin always feels that Vladislas II seems to have something to say ...

After drinking a cup of milk tea, Marin suddenly realized-yes, I am a king of mercenaries, the other party happened to be rebelled, this is to expect to borrow troops from me!

So, Marin made a decision-do not take the initiative to propose the matter of buying, so as not to fall into the disadvantage. As for the special trip to Prague, he opened his eyes and talked nonsense, saying that he went to Ukraine to visit his younger brother Simon, passing here ...

Vladislas II did n’t know that Marin wanted to buy people, and really thought Marin was passing by. After all, it sounds reasonable to visit my brother in Kiev, Ukraine.

Therefore, after some commercial blows, Vladislas II talked about the mob in Hungary. Marin also expressed his indignation at the right time, and together with Vladislas II, cursed George and his peasant uprising ...

Obviously, Marin understood Vladislas II's intention to borrow troops, but he was confused and made Vladislas II anxious.

As a result, Vladislas II became impatient and simply said:

"Duke Marin, I heard that your Beihai team is invincible ..."

Marin intentionally pretended to be incomprehensible and shyly said;

"Your Majesty is so praised, where is it so powerful ..."

Vladislas II was a little bit depressed—why is this guy so indifferent?

In desperation, he had to pick out clearly:

"Are we allies? Look, your sister married my younger brother. Although they have not signed a covenant, are our Jagiellons and Hoffman families bloodied?"

Marin nodded;

"It's such a reason!"

"I heard that you used to lend troops to the Principality of Cliff to destroy the Principality of Geddes. We are all allies. See, did you also lend troops to me to suppress the mob?"

Having said that, Marin can't be stupid. So he pretended to think, and frowned after a while:

"Your Majesty, it ’s not that I refused to help. In fact, the scale of the rebellion in Hungary is too large. I heard that the total number of rebels has reached 70,000 or 80,000. I now have only 30,000 local people. Defeat them with confidence. But you also know that I have a bad reputation among German princes. If they come out of the nest, the local area will be easily attacked! "

"30,000 people? Isn't it 40,000 people?" Vladislas II was a little surprised. He didn't know that Marin sent the Sixth Army to Ireland.

Marin had to explain to him:

"I sent the Scottish Legion to Ireland to help His Majesty Edward attack those separatist forces ..."

"It turns out that ..." Vladislas II frowned, which was a coincidence. Then he thought about it and asked:

"So, how many troops can you send at most?"

Marin thought for a while and said:

"I can send up to 15,000 people, which is the limit. After all, my country is so big now, and I need to be protected by soldiers and horses!"

The 150,000 people Marin said actually included the 5000 Cossack cavalry. The 5,000 people Marin did not announce to the outside world. Previously, they only said that they were cavalry of the Third Army. Others thought that the Beihai State now has only 30,000 people, which is actually 350,000.

However, he sent thousands of people to the Principality of Württemberg to help suppress the peasant uprising, so the total number of domestic troops is now less than 30,000.

Of course, that refers to the regular army. Counting the police, there are 8,000 second-line troops. However, these policemen usually have to maintain local security, and they cannot be mobilized casually. Only at the juncture of life and death can these people be called into battle.

But Marin thought for a while, and it seemed that it would take 8,000 people to maintain law and order. In fact, in each of the 320 police stations, leaving 10 people in each family can maintain law and order in the town. In this way, 4800 people can be mobilized to protect important towns. If you round up an integer, you can temporarily draw 5,000 people out.

In this way, even if 150,000 people were drawn to help Vladislas II suppress the Hungarian peasant uprising, the country would retain 20,000 troops.

"15,000 people ... a little bit less ... after all, seven or eighty thousand rebels ..." Vladislas II seemed a little dissatisfied with this number.

Marin immediately pointed to the east and said:

"Your younger brother can also make some troops ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Anyway, there is no war in Poland now! Moreover, what kind of Polish wing cavalry does he need to take a bit of war training. And fight those who have little combat experience The peasant army is the best way to improve combat experience! "

Vladislas II suddenly lit up-yes, almost forgot the Polish Wing Cavalry ...

The Polish wing cavalry was established under the guidance of Sigmund I and Marin. So far, this new type of force has only participated in the battle against the Principality of Mazovia, and has experienced too little. Moreover, with the help of Marin, Poland is now easing relations with the Teutonic Knights and reconciled with the Crimean Khanate in the south. To the east is the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which is co-dominated with Poland, and to the west is the German princes. They have no strength to challenge Poland ...

In this good international atmosphere, Poland really has no battle to fight, and it is possible to free up manpower to support Vladislas II. Moreover, it is said that the size of the Polish Wing Cavalry of Sigmund I has expanded to 5,000, and there is a tendency to continue to increase. However, many novice wing cavalry have not participated in combat and lack actual combat experience. It was better to play against the Hungarian peasant rebels who also had little actual combat experience.

In addition, the 5000 Cossack cavalry chopped by Marin belong to the light cavalry and are not suitable for hitting the main force of the Hungarian peasant uprising. If there is a Polish wing cavalry who is a heavy cavalry, the 5000 Cossacks will be more powerful.

Vladislas II clearly understood this, so he immediately began to write to his brother Sigmund I and sent messengers to the Polish capital of Krakow.

After Vladislas II arranged the delivery, Malin said:

"Your Majesty, next, we should talk about the remuneration of the 150,000 army ..."
