Chapter 2073： Deploy 5000 bank security

The latest station name: Aoyuge latest website:

At the beginning, after Marin helped the Papal State to take Siena, he integrated the funds of the Siena Bank that had been looted with the stocks and accounts of the original bank in the city, together with Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici, That is, the future Pope Leo X cooperated to reopen the Bank of Siena. Among them, Marin accounts for 90% of the share capital and is the bank's largest shareholder and absolute controller.

Later, with the help of the Pope’s father-in-law, the new Siena Bank obtained the right of coinage granted by the Holy See to help the Holy See cast exquisite "Holy Gold Coins." This kind of gold coin is pressed by a spiral coin press. Not only is the pattern exquisite and clear, the material is sufficient, but it also has lace, so that cunning merchants can't grind the gold coin to greedy ink and gold powder.

In this way, the credit of the Bank of Siena in Italy has been established. The gold coin with lace launched by the bank of the Holy Spirit quickly became popular, as famous as the Ducat gold coin in Venice. However, in terms of total amount, it has not yet issued comparable to Ducat's gold coins.

In order to protect the interests of the Bank of Siena, or in order to collect debts armed and prevent people from squandering their debts, Marin established a bank security force with a scale of tens of thousands of people. Among them, many people are Germans and mountain people in southern Germany. Of course, there are also some Swiss.

At present, most of the Swiss are German-speaking regions except for the French-speaking western part of the country and the narrow Italian-speaking southern part of the country. Therefore, most Swiss mountain people are currently considered to be mountain people in southern Germany. Of course, only the mountain people in eastern Switzerland can be hired by Marin. These areas are not very resistant to the attitude of the Habsburg family, and naturally they are not very resistant to Marin.

Moreover, Marin went to Germany to recruit soldiers under the name of "Italian Bank of Siena", which made many German princes unknown, so there was no restriction. Now, Marin is here to harvest the fruits-he wants to bring the elite of them back to Beihai Country!

Yes, relying on the name of the Bank of Italy, Marin recruited enough mountain mercenaries in the mountains of southern Germany without any resistance. Then, trained into an elite army.

Now that Marin urgently needs a large number of soldiers, he naturally thought of these people. This mercenary formed under the name of the "Bank Security Force" has the same weapons and training methods as the Beihai Army. It's just that the clothes are different.

Because the officer inside was also transferred from Beihai police by Marin. Now, taking them away is a breeze. Moreover, Marin was not transferred all at once, but planned to transfer half of it first, that is, 5000 people. Then, send people to the mountains of southern Germany to re-recruit manpower.

In fact, as the security force of a bank, the scale of 10,000 people is too much. 5000 people are enough to carry out armed wages against many nobles. But Marin's intention is to use this security force as a cover to continue to recruit troops in the mountains of southern Germany.

Today, this army has existed for several years. After many times of escorting gold coins and armed asking for salary, everyone has become accustomed to the existence of this team. But they didn't know that Marin had successively transferred many manpower from it, bringing the total number to three or four thousand. But every time there are not many people transferred, it is very concealed.

However, there is a big battle to be fought this time. And because this bank security force runs on the mountains of the Italian Apennines all the year round, it has very good feet and is the first choice for a very good expeditionary army. Marin planned to transfer 5,000 infantry this time to cooperate with the army expedition.

These people are not just long-time soldiers. In recent years, they have been running around on the mountain roads in Italy and have done a lot of work. Among other things, the bandits on the Apennine Peninsula were almost wiped out by them. Today, in the mountains on the Apennine Peninsula, there is no way for bandits to survive. This group of security guards heard that there were bandits, so they went to "black and eat black" immediately and were very active. Because, according to Marin's instructions, after the black eats the black, they can divide up half of the spoils. Not to mention, they also mobilized on a large scale, beating a few nobles who wanted to go back on their accounts.

Therefore, these people may not have experience in battles, and the experience of small battles is simply too rich. It's not that they are better than the local infantry, but Marin feels that the security of the local area is also very important. Therefore, if you can draw less talents from the local area, try to draw as few as possible to guard the local elites. However, he does not want to fail in the fight against the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and he also needs to be elite. Therefore, this elite security force has become a good choice for Marin.

They are all from the mountain people in southern Germany. Apart from anything else, they must have very good feet and are suitable for expeditions. Then, he had a lot of experience in small-scale battles. He had seen blood, and would not be timid after going into battle. They were all very good qualities.

Such soldiers and horses are mixed with some of the domestic veterans who have seen big scenes, and their combat effectiveness is absolutely outstanding. After all, it’s easy to unify the pace if trained in the same system. In addition, they are all masters who have seen the world before, and their combat effectiveness will not be bad.

...

After all, it is a bank that he absolutely controls. Not long after Marin entered Siena, he soon unified his mind. Except for a few Italian employees who are not willing to transfer too much force, most of them are willing to obey Marin's arrangement Especially, those officers from the North Sea country are all Very obedient. The Italian employees were mainly in charge of finance, but not the army. Therefore, Marin's order to withdraw troops was passed without hindrance.

Afterwards, these veterans will leave Siena in batches, by sea, and secretly arrive at the Jutland Peninsula on the mainland of the North Sea country, where they will complete assembly training. Then, after the war broke out, he would board the ship there and head to the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

However, the 5,000 security forces that were transferred away, after all, had only fought against bandits and poor aristocrats, and had never seen any major scenes. Therefore, on the Jutland Peninsula, Marin intends to let the nearby Third Army also have militias to play the role of the Blue Army, and create some trouble for them. At the same time, let them adapt to the big corps combat. In order to avoid the feeling of unsuitability and fear after seeing the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

You know, there are tens of thousands of people, endless. What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Grand Duchy of Moscow. If you don't adapt to the next big scene in advance, and suddenly see an enemy army beyond your imagination, psychological problems will easily occur.

Fortunately, Marin intends to let them adapt in advance. For this reason, Marin decided to allocate 50,000 farmers to various manor houses on the Jutland Peninsula. During the slack period, after simple training, they cooperated with the soldiers of the Third Army and pretended to be the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Out of a 100,000 overall situation, let the soldiers adapt to the next big situation first.

When the time comes, not only the five thousand security guards will have to adapt, but the young dragoons and young black-shirted knights under Ma Lin's command will also follow suit. After all, these young soldiers are far less experienced than the five thousand bank security guards, and they need to exercise and adapt.
