Marin gave County Wicklow to Adler for nothing, for example, when the British king fought on the island of Ireland, Adler had to replace Marin to send troops to help in the war.

According to the rules, Marin, as the Earl of Newcastle in England, had to send a large army to help the war when the King of England went on an expedition. The reason why Marin gave Adler 50 knights was that he hoped that after the war in Ireland, Adler would take these 50 knights to fight with Edward.

Of course, one count with 50 knights is obviously too small. So, Marin also asked Adler's knights to bring their squires. In general, a knight has at least 5 knight squires. Among them, there are two knightly squires who play the role of subordinates. For example, one is responsible for taking care of horses and supplies. The other, on the other hand, is responsible for running errands for the knights. The other three squires were mainly on combat duty, following the knights into battle.

It should be noted that there is a difference between a knight's squire and a squire. For example, the attendants who were responsible for taking care of the horses and supplies were generally of civilian origin, or were still young, and were mainly engaged in the work of subordinates. They are sometimes called acolytes. And those 3 or more combat scolytes may not be civilian children. Possibly, it is the son of the nobility. Some famous knights, and some barons, will even send non-eldest sons to be knights' apprentices, learning to fight with knights. Of course, the knights who are not famous can only recruit civilians as combat squires. Therefore, it is generally true that a knight has at least three combat squires. Wealthy knights, there will be more combat squires.

However, Marin's non-calibration of Adlerding was 600 acres of fiefdom. Therefore, those knights can't afford to keep too many squires, and 5 is about the same.

Also, those squires were generally not plate heavy cavalry. Because, plate armor is very expensive, and the war horses that can carry heavy cavalry are also expensive...... Unless, it was a famous knight, and his combat attendant was an apprentice sent by a non-eldest son of another noble family. In this way, the apprentice can pay for the plate armor and the war horse by himself.

But in general, the civilian attendants of the knights were light cavalry. Even, horses are not necessarily qualified war horses. But it can't be helped. After all, knights also divide rich and poor. Wealthy knights, like French knights with fiefdoms of up to 1,500 acres, might fight with two or three heavily armored cavalry. And the poor knight may charge with two or three half-hung light cavalry on horses. This kind of half-hung light cavalry has no problem fighting with the wind. Once you encounter a hard fight, it is easy to collapse and run away.

Of course, there are even worse. For example, when Marin first crossed, let alone the attendants, he only wore half a set of plate armor and no pants...... Of course, at that time, Marin was just a wandering knight, and without a knight's title, he couldn't be considered a real knight. A knight who really has a title and a fief, no matter how poor he is, he can make up 5 squires.

Once the monarch gives a call for calls, the knights are to go into battle with their men and horses. According to the requirements, each knight generally had to bring at least 10 soldiers. Of these, 2 must be cavalry. This is the minimum requirement, and if you have a rich knight, you can also bring more people. For example, some wealthy knights can take 3 or more cavalry into battle, and the infantry (i.e., conscripted peasant soldiers) can reach 25 people.

……

There is no shortage of population in County Wicklow, and the MacMorow dynasty at that time was able to survive tenaciously on the edge of the direct territory of the British king, and its strength should not be underestimated. At that time, the population of Wicklow County reached more than 20,000. Even if it doesn't have it now, it can hover around 20,000 people.

Therefore, Marin's request for Adler was 50 knights, each of whom had to bring 3 cavalry and 25 levies when fighting. In addition, there are two orderlies who are responsible for managing supplies and helping the knights on their horses.

In this way, when fighting, each knight can send 30 troops, and 50 knights can send 1500 troops. Although there are not many of them, the combat effectiveness is still good because it includes 50 knights and 150 cavalry.

Moreover, those conscripted militiamen, Marin intends to send instructors to help train. At the very least, learn to drain the Swiss spear formation. In this way, the combat effectiveness is not too bad.

……

But 1,500 people was still too little, so Marin decided to send 500 Cossacks to Adler. In this way, when Adler accompanied Edward on the expedition, he could have an additional 500 fierce Cossack cavalry.

Good news came from the people sent by Marin to the Ukrainian region during this time - many Zaporozhye and Don Cossacks were willing to accept Marin's employment and recruitment, and took their families with them. But the requirement is - at least one bottle of whisky (rye two-pot head) per day......

Marin readily agreed to this request, and then many Cossack families came to vote.

But Marin was not worried about the leader of the Cossacks, so Marin specially singled out the leader of the group and placed it alone. The ordinary Cossacks, on the other hand, were integrated into the German Cossack villages in the steppes of Jutland, Denmark.

As a result, Marin took in more than four thousand Cossacks. However, 500 thorns were selected from among them.

These 500 thorns were either former Cossack chieftains, or they were more wild. If you want to bless them, you have to hold them down.

However, the German Cossack villages formed by Marin, the leading German Cossacks, were actually ordinary German serfs, and they could not suppress these thorns at all. Therefore, Marin simply singled out these thorns and formed a Cossack stabbing clan.

Originally, Marin was worried and did not know what to do with the 500 Cossack thorns. But this time when Adler was placed, Marin remembered them......

Those German peasant Cossacks may not be able to suppress these Cossack thorns, but Adler can|!

Adler was an authentic knight, and he was physically strong and highly skilled in martial arts. Although Adler can't beat a pervert like Karn, he is also a leader among the knights. Even a pervert like Karn had to struggle to defeat him in a horse battle. Think about the time when Karn couldn't ride a horse, but was abused by Adler all day long.

And for a nomadic people like the Cossacks, the most obedient is the strong. Want to subdue them? It's as simple as just going head-to-head and convincing them. When it comes to heads-up, it is estimated that none of those Cossacks are opponents.

Why? Although the Cossacks are tough, the main thing that can be plagiarized is the overall ability. After all, a group of people who are proficient in horsemanship and horse warfare rushing up together, even if it is like a bastard group fight, is very powerful. And in terms of personal strength, these Cossacks are stronger than ordinary people, equivalent to strong men and fierce men among ordinary people, perhaps stronger.

But Adler is different, Adler's own physical fitness is a strong man, and he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has been practicing for more than ten years. The innate strong body, coupled with the acquired martial arts training, makes the average soldier not his opponent. Even in the Beihai Army, only Karn dared to say that he could win against him in a horse battle.

Therefore, Adler only had to set up the ring and beat the group of Cossacks to make them blessed. Then, with this group of subdued Cossacks, Adler could follow King Edward's army to the island of Ireland.

……

Moreover, these 500 Cossacks, all of whom are very capable personally. If it's not powerful, it won't be a thorn. After all, if you don't have the ability to be a thorn, you will soon be repaired.

As long as Adler can subdue this group of thorns, he can lead this group of Cossacks whose combat strength is equivalent to elite cavalry, and sweep away the indigenous forces on the island of Ireland.

……

However, Marin did not give these elite thorny Cossacks to Adler for nothing. When sending these Cossacks, Marin said that he would draw the population from Wicklow County......

After all, Wicklow County had a population of 20,000, which was a lot in those days. Marin's plan was to draw a few thousand people from Wicklow to replenish the Scottish Highlands.

The Scottish Highlands are so small in population, more than a dozen times the size of Wicklowshire, that the population is only a little larger. Therefore, Marin intends to send thousands of immigrants from Wicklow County to the Scottish Highlands to speed up the development there. At the same time, it is also trained to become a future highland soldier.

In addition, the arrival of these thousands of immigrants in the Scottish Highlands will destroy the local population and ethnic structure. Once the monolithic ethnic structure of the Highlands is broken, it will be easier for Marin to control the area. After all, the Irish are outsiders and cannot collude with the locals, so they can only rely on themselves. And the local natives, after being nailed by Marin, it is difficult to unite against Marin.

And that's just the beginning. In the future, Marin intends to carry out a population replacement of Highland County. After the island of Ireland was conquered by Edward, Marin planned to immigrate more Irish to the Scottish Highlands. At the same time, if there were groups in the Highlands that did not submit to their rule, they also forcibly emigrated to the island of Ireland. As a result, not only will the population of the Scottish Highlands become more complex, but the rebels will also be sent to the island of Ireland. Leaving their hometown, these people can't jump up. In this way, Marin's control over the Scottish Highlands will also become easier...... ()
