The letter for help was forwarded, and Edward first asked his men to release the carrier pigeon back to London. Then, let the officials left behind in London find the head of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce in London, and ask them to use the Beihai Chamber of Commerce's special contact carrier pigeon to send it back to Beihai Kingdom.

After all, Edward didn't have a carrier pigeon in his hands that was familiar with the route of the North Sea Country. It is best to take the pigeon away from its original hometown and then release it to fly back to ensure that the pigeon can find its destination accurately. Just like John Raffi received Marin's instructions in the city of Naples, he also used the carrier pigeon of the intelligence department originally set up by Marin in the city of Naples. Otherwise, it will be difficult to reach the designated location, and it is possible to fly wrong.

The pigeon message was still very fast, and in less than two days, Marin received a letter from Edward asking for help. On the question of the conquest of Ireland, Marin and Edward had the same interests. So, Marin agreed without thinking about it. However, soon the second letter of flying pigeon arrived, which was sent by Adler.

Adler also came for help, but he mentioned the problem of the Cossacks' unsuitability to the humid climate of the island of Ireland.

The Cossack cavalry came from the steppes of Eastern Europe with a dry continental climate and had long been accustomed to the dry inland climate. At the beginning, when Adler came to Viklow County with 500 Cossacks, many Cossacks and even Cossack Eastern European Mongolian horses were not adapted. Luckily, Marin had a medical team for Adler, all of whom were disciples of Morrigan and Battle. Then these doctors cured both the sick Cossacks and the war horses.

Adler told Marin that most of the 500 Cossacks were good, because they had lived in Jutland for some time. The climate of Jutland, on the other hand, is halfway between Ukraine and Ireland, and it is considered a semi-humid climate. So, most people didn't get sick. And the sick ones were basically the new Cossacks who had not lived in Jutland for a long time.

Therefore, before sending Cossack reinforcements, Adler suggested that it would be better to pick a ...... that were more adapted to the humid climate

As for Adler's suggestion, Marin was convinced. Therefore, he found the commander of the Cossack cavalry corps, Jurgen, and ordered him to select 2,000 people who were more adapted to the humid climate, especially those who had not been sick because of water and soil after coming to Beihai Country.

Then Jurgen picked 500 German Cossacks for Marin, and 1500 Ukrainian Cossacks......

After selecting a good person, Marin also asked the officer in charge of the war horse to select 4,000 horses adapted to the wet weather in the rainy season for him according to his memory, as a purpose for the expedition, so that the war horse would not get sick because of the water and soil. Without horses, the Cossack cavalry did not have to be stronger in infantry, and perhaps even weaker. After all, it was difficult for an infantry with a saber to beat an infantry accustomed to using a spear.

Next, Marin conducted special training for these 2,000 Cossacks, including their war horses, - rain training!

Of course, since it hadn't rained lately, Marin used a simple sprayer (the kind of straw sprayer with two pipes at right angles) to simulate the water mist, and then sprayed it on the Cossacks and horses, and kept them for a while.

After several days of acclimatization tests, a small number of Cossacks and horses failed to adapt and were replaced after falling ill. After about 10 days, 2,000 adapted to the rainy weather and 4,000 Eastern European Mongolian horses (Don Hippo ancestors) were selected and shipped to Ireland.

I believe that with the help of these 2,000 Cossacks, plus Adler himself has 500 Cossacks and 2,500 Cossacks, he will definitely be able to beat the little light cavalry of the Irish natives to the ground.

……

After sending Cossack reinforcements, several lords of the southern Breishgaard region also sent people to urge them. It turned out that they couldn't wait to trade the 3,000 rebellious serfs and their families. After all, it was really difficult for the lords to make money in the Breishgaard region, where there were many people and little land. It is rare that Marin, a "fool", is willing to give money to buy a traitor, and they can't ask for it. Moreover, I am afraid that Marin will regret it.

You know, Marin is going to pay 103,500 gold coins for the super "wronged boss". What is the concept of more than 100,000 gold coins? It is difficult for an ordinary principality to have a fiscal revenue of 50,000 gold coins a year. Unless, unless, it's the kind of rich principality by the sea or a big river, which is very suitable for trade. In a principality that farms alone, there are very few principalities with an annual income of more than 50,000 gold coins.

Unfortunately, the Bryschgau region is a standard agricultural area. Moreover, it is also a poor agricultural area with many mountains and little land. Freiburg, the only commercial city in the territory, was also bought by the citizens for their autonomy, and the commercial taxes in the city had nothing to do with the local farming lords.

Moreover, I don't know what the reason is, in this era, the northern part of Germany, which was not short of plain land, was generally sparsely populated. However, the population of southern Germany, which is mountainous and has little land, is very concentrated. In particular, the population of a poor country like the Duchy of Württemberg, which is dominated by mountains and forests, is actually hundreds of thousands. The northern regions, such as East Friesland and Oldenburg, are about a quarter the size of Württemberg, but have a population of only a few tens of thousands. Moreover, both areas are dominated by plains!

As a result, there was a serious imbalance in the distribution of the population, which led to overpopulation in southern Germany. At the same time, the northern part of Germany lacked population.

Overpopulation, it is natural that someone will find another way out. Therefore, most of the German mercenaries came from the southern part of Germany. Because, only there is a surplus of people to serve as mercenaries. And in the northern region, the serfs can't farm the land, where is the leisure to become a soldier? Besides, being a soldier is life-threatening......

It stands to reason that at this time, if there were lords from the north who came to the south to recruit surplus people and bring them to the north to farm, they could quickly develop the country. Marin, for example, did so, which led to the rapid economic development of the North Sea country.

However, according to Marin's observations, it seems that the indigenous northern nobles of this era rarely did so. After an investigation, I found out that the key to the problem - everyone is poor!

Because of poverty, many northern princes did not even have the money and food to send people to the south to recruit people. They even owed a lot of debts to the Hanseatic merchants, so naturally they had no money to waste on soliciting people.

And some of the commercially developed vassal states, those princes, have little interest in developing agriculture - since business is so profitable, I still grow wool fields?

For example, in the former Brunswick-Duchy of Lüneburg, people had mines at home, and there were very popular salt mines, and they could make a lot of money by selling salt, and they couldn't see the income from farming at all. Therefore, in the territory of the huge principality, there is actually an area of seven or eight thousand square kilometers of Lüneburg steppe, which is larger than many principalities. Moreover, the grassland is left there, and I don't even bother to do grazing......

Therefore, the vassal states in northern Germany lacked people, and the princes who farmed the fields were so poor that they could not afford to go to the south to recruit people, and the rich princes who did business could not look down on the benefits of farming. As a result, the population of southern Germany continued to be large, and the population of the north continued to be scarce and irreconcilable......

Originally, there was a Marin, and it was possible to balance the population of the northern and southern German regions. Unfortunately, as soon as Marin appeared, he became the horse boy of Emperor Maximilian I, and was hostile to most of the princes of southern Germany. Moreover, Marin went to southern Germany in the early stage to recruit mercenaries. In order to prevent Marin's uncontrolled military expansion, most of the southern princes began to restrict Marin's recruitment in southern Germany.

In this regard, Marin is also helpless. If it weren't for the hostility of the princes, he would have been able to recruit a million people from southern Germany in a minute!

However, this cooperation with the lords of Bryschgaard and the Duchy of Württemberg opened Marin's eyes to another possibility - since it is not feasible to recruit those princes without benefits, why not try to pay for people?

Marin is well aware of the virtues of the princes of this era - one is poorer than the other, but one is more greedy than the other!

Just grasp their greedy traits and lure them with money, and don't believe that they are unwilling to allow themselves to recruit the population. What political stance is different, in front of the abundance of gold coins that can crush people, these princes who are short of money also have to kneel......

But first, Marin wanted to set an example for the greedy princes. When someone actually earns gold coins by giving away a population to Marin, Marin believes that there will definitely be people who will be tempted in the future.

Therefore, Marin arranged for Kohler, with a large amount of money and food, escorted by the army, to go south to Breishgaard to fulfill the contract of purchase......
