Chapter 1996： Guards Cavalry Regiment

Unlike cavalry schools, cavalry schools are not trained from a very young age, but from the age of 13. At the age of 13 is the age of elementary school graduation. At the same time, the children are basically able to climb on horseback. At this time, it is meaningful to start training cavalry courses.

Just like an ordinary knight, he served as a servant in the house of the big nobility, even though he was 7 years old. However, from the age of 7 to 14 years old, you can usually only be a child boy and do some chores. At the same time, learn some basic cultural knowledge and the etiquette of various knights. It wasn't until 14 years old that he had a high horseback, he started to practice knight martial arts, and then it took 7 years to practice until he was 21 years old. This is somewhat similar to the apprenticeship system, which is also 7 years of art. However, it is better than the apprentice of a craftsman. During the seven years from the age of 7 to 14, the knights had the opportunity to learn cultural knowledge and various etiquettes when they were servants. Although it is necessary to do service work for the nobles, the cultural knowledge is never accessible to civilian children.

Of course, the Western European knights began to engage in riding combat training at the age of 14 because Western European horses are taller and their shoulder height can reach more than 1.7 meters. The North Sea country now generally uses Eastern European Mongolian horses from the Crimean Khanate, with a shoulder height of generally only 1.5 meters. Therefore, the knights must start riding martial arts training at the age of 14, and the students of Beihai State Cavalry School should be 13 years old. After all, Eastern European Mongolian horses are shorter than Western European horses, and their height requirements are much lower.

Under normal circumstances, the school system of Beihai State Cavalry School is also a 7-year program, and like the training of knights, it also requires graduation at the age of 21. The reason why I chose to graduate at the age of 21 is because at the age of 21, my body has basically grown up and I can customize the plate armor of the matching size. If it is too early, the height will continue to grow, and the customized plate armor may be too small. At that time, a set of plate armor will be wasted. And a set of plate armor at least dozens of gold coins, most people can not afford to waste. Therefore, it is generally necessary to wait until the age of 21 to start customizing plate armor. Some of them are stunted and may even drag to the age of twenty-five or sixty years before they formally customize the plate armor set for use in battle.

Of course, this is the knight family with poor economic conditions, so it is so true. In the case of a wealthy noble family, you can customize the plate armor at the age of 18, and it is a luxurious version of the gem-set plate armor. As for the future, I can't put on a long one, and it's a big deal to re-make a set every year ...

Just like Caesar, although he is only 14 years old, he has already started armor training. Of course, Marin did not dare to let Caesar wear heavy plate armor. It's too heavy, it's easy to be crushed and not tall. Therefore, the armor that Marin made for Caesar was made of rhinoceros from Africa. The rhinoceros armor is highly protective and light, not crushing Caesar. Moreover, as the heir to the North Sea Kingdom, what armor does Caesar want? From the age of 14, Marin has custom-made rhinoceros armor for him, one set per year, very luxurious.

It stands to reason that the cavalry school established five years ago, the first graduate should be two years later. However, there are exceptions. When the cavalry school was established five years ago, some 16-year-olds were eager to join. The key is that many of their fathers are big men in the North Sea.

Those Beihai officers who held military positions in the military knew very well that cavalry had a higher status than infantry. If you have the opportunity to enter the cavalry school, you will be a cavalry officer after graduation, but you are much more advanced than an infantry officer.

Therefore, when the cavalry school was established, many officers asked for Marin's side, hoping that their 16-year-old or 17-year-old son could also go in to study. Marin is not good for the cold and old men, and this is nothing.

Therefore, Marin specially approved and approved hundreds of children of 16 or 7-year-old officers to enter the cavalry school. At the same time, hundreds of German Cossack children were specially recruited to study in the officer's school. Finally, the total number of overage students reached 1,000.

Now, five years later, all the overage students are over 21 years old, it is time to enter the military.

Originally, this was a trivial matter, just follow the normal process. According to the normal process, the headmaster of the Alsace cavalry school does not have to come forward, and send an instructor to take the graduates to the military cavalry section to register, and then, wait for the arrangement.

But Arthas had a small idea in his heart, hoping to take this opportunity to show his teaching achievements, and hope to get Marlin's approval, and let him re-enter the mountain as a practical general.

He now enjoys the treatment of the regiment leader, but no soldiers in his hand, similar to civilian generals, empty title. If he hadn't commanded the army before, it would be fine. But he once commanded a cavalry corps. After being replaced by Marin, he was very unwilling and hoped to come out again as a general.

After all, in addition to the question of face, being a practical general, there is also the opportunity to make a contribution, which can promote the title ...

Although Arthas served as the commander of the Cossack Cavalry Regiment, he still is a hereditary knight because he has no merit. Among the nobles of the rank of commander of the legion, there is definitely a bottom. And Jurgen, who is also the commander of the Cossack Cavalry Corps, because of his outstanding performance against the coalition forces of the Eight Kingdoms, the title has been promoted to the first baron. If there is still a war to fight in the future, it can be promoted upwards.

This made Alsace very envious and a little jealous. He didn't want to just pass the title of hereditary knight, but he wanted to promote the title, as an instructor could not get it. Only when you go to the battlefield and make achievements can you gain the title.

Therefore, Arthas apparently did not have to come in person, but personally brought a thousand-year-old cavalry school overage graduates to Aurich. After arranging for the teacher to take the students to the military department for registration, he himself went to the palace to see Marin.

As an officer with equal status as the regimental commander, Arthas is also qualified to see Marin. Marin also wanted to know the current status of the cavalry school and summoned him.

I heard that there are 1,000 more cavalry school graduates in my hand, and Marin's eyes are bright.

"Really? There are a thousand graduates? What's the level?"

That's a thousand military school students! Although he only studied for five years and less than seven years, Marin knew that they did not learn a lot. Because, the cavalry stuff does not need to learn for seven years. As I said before, the reason why the Cavaliers graduated at the age of 21 is that besides the reason of height stereotypes, the 21-year-old guy has basically grown up in strength and can fight against people. If it is too young, the strength has not yet grown, even if the martial arts are good, the strength is not enough to fight against people.

In fact, the pinnacle of a knight often waits until the age of twenty-seven or eight. At this time, the knight's strength is the most sufficient, and the combat experience has become very rich.

But the cavalry requirements of the Beihai Kingdom are not the same as ordinary knights. They do not need to hold heavy lances and collide with people. Therefore, the power requirement is not particularly high. 21 years old, basically enough. Next, it is necessary to practice training.

Marin learned that there were a thousand cavalry school graduates and was very satisfied. So he continued to ask

"How about the martial arts of the children? Can they fight against ordinary knight children?"

In this regard, Alsace is full of confidence

"No problem! At least, it's okay to fight against the same age of knights. Of course, they haven't been trained to use lances, and they may be invincible in the traditional knights' lance competition. However, they use the spring lance you created by your majesty. Against the bulky traditional lances, it does n’t fall. ”

"How did the military strategy accomplish?" Marin asked again.

At this time, Arthas blushed.

"This ... doesn't seem to be very good in this respect ... You know, this group of overage students has a poor cultural foundation and can't compare to the children who graduated from the regular elementary school. So, in the military strategy exam, they can pass 70. There are very few, only a hundred people ... "Marin has higher requirements for officers, and 70 points are considered qualified, not 60 points.

After a pause, Arthas said again

"Of course, those who have not scored 70 points are acceptable as ordinary cavalry squadrons. At least, they are skillful and familiar with the basic cavalry confrontation command process. What they lack is actual combat experience. And ..."

Seeing Marin's face not too bad, Arthas said again

"Graduates who are not good at military strategy can also serve as your guard cavalry ..."

"Guardian cavalry?" Marin was stunned for a while, but soon he was surprised.

"Yes, the guard cavalry!" Marin happily patted the table, frightening Alsace. He thought that Marin had gone viral, but when he saw Marin's happy face, he let go of it.

Thinking that Napoleon had always been guarded by four guard cavalry regiments during the war, Marin also planned to form a guard cavalry regiment to protect his safety during the war.

Obviously, most of the first batch of graduates of the overage cavalry school graduates did not seem to have good cultural performance, and they seemed to be insufficient as a general. But as Arthas said, those people cannot be generals, but there is no problem as a guard cavalry!

Moreover, the graduates of cavalry schools with poor cultural achievements are not incapable of serving as officers, but they are not capable of serving as senior generals. It is no problem to be an ordinary cavalry squad leader. As a cavalry of the Guards, there is no problem. After all, the Guards do n’t need to be smart, they just need to be faithful enough.

So Marin told Arthas to say

"You sent someone to investigate in detail. In addition to the more than 100 cultural achievements with a score of 70 or more, the military department will arrange for the remaining 800 people. You select the 500 with the most loyalty. I want to form a guard Cavalry Regiment! "

Arthas showed a happy face, but then asked carefully

"What about the remaining three hundred people?"

As principal, he has had feelings with the students for several years. He doesn't want the prospects of the more than 300 graduates who have been picked.

After thinking about it, Marin decided that

"It's the same to the military department to arrange! However, the more than one hundred outstanding graduates started as cavalry squad leaders, and the remaining three hundred or so were picked up ~ www.novelhall.com ~ can only start from ordinary cavalry. Later With the merits of war, you can be promoted before those uneducated cavalry ... "

"Okay, I'll take someone to understand the situation, pick out the 500 most loyal people, and serve as your guard cavalry!" After that, Arthas turned and left.

Just as he was about to walk out of the door of Marin's office, Marlin's voice came from behind.

"Do your job well and do a good job. In the future, you will have the opportunity to lead troops ..."

Obviously, Marin also saw Arthas's thoughts. Moreover, he does not exclude the use of Alsace. After all, he would need a lot of troops and officers to annex the entire northern German states. Therefore, there are still many opportunities. Although Alsace's talent is not high, it is not bad, but his thinking is a bit biased towards traditional knights.

However, this kind of officer who favors the heavy cavalry thought and the Cossacks who command the pure light cavalry may not be qualified, but the cavalry used to command the middle route of the half heavy cavalry and the half light cavalry like the lance cavalry. After all, he was able to stand out from so many German Cossacks. In addition to having a special name to take advantage of it, his ability should not be underestimated.

Arthas had a meal for the whole person first, but then his face was bright. Then, he walked away from Aurich ’s palace briskly, and the whole person seemed to be full of strength ...
