The population of this era was very small, like the German region, which added up to about 12 million people (including Austria, the Czech Republic, etc.). Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info counting the German region in later generations, there are only about 9 million people.

There are so many states in the German region, like the average country, with a population of only a few tens of thousands. If the population exceeds 100,000, it is considered a vassal state. With a population of two or three hundred thousand, it is definitely a great power among the princes. More than a million, a proper overlord level......

However, many estates in Germany are now overpopulated. However, even if Marin had emigrated the surplus population of Germany, it would not have been more than 2 million people. Moreover, that is also impossible. Marin wanted to do this, and other princes might not be willing to agree.

Even if these 2 million people are taken to immigrate and thrown to the North American continent, I am afraid that they will not even be able to make a wave. Because, North America is too big......

If you have large agricultural machinery, you can cultivate thousands of hectares of land for a family. But the problem is that there is no agricultural machinery now, and a family of five can cultivate more than 100 acres of land, which is about 20 acres.

Only by herding sheep can the land be fully utilized. At the same time, it can provide a large amount of meat and wool, as well as sheepskin that can be used as parchment......

And sheep herding does not need to use all people. Using a shepherd dog is the way to save trouble. After all, dogs, as long as they are well trained, are more responsible than humans. At least, in the matter of driving the flock, because running fast is more powerful than people.

Moreover, the growth cycle of a shepherd dog is very short. For example, after being born, you can start training at the age of three months, and you can start working to herd sheep within a year.

If you are a human being, it will take more than ten years to have the ability to shepherd sheep, and you are not as good as German shepherd. Therefore, with a shepherd dog, the return is fast and the cost is less.

In his previous life, Marin had a very clever wolf dog (Demu), which his uncle brought back from the city. Although it may not be pure enough, it is also very smart. The most important thing is that when Demu grows up, he is very powerful. Towards the front of the door, basically no one dares to approach.

Although, in terms of shepherding alone, De Shepherd may not be as intelligent as the more intelligent border collie. However, the advantages of the German pastor are completely incomparable with the border herd. The most important point is that the German herd can be a military dog or a police dog, while the border herd is too small to adapt to such a job.

Therefore, Marin decided to send people to various parts of Germany to find the ancestral breed of German Shepherd, and then train them to obtain an excellent Shepherd Dog and a military dog.

Needless to say, shepherd dogs are able to help farmers herd their sheep. Moreover, the tall German shepherd, because of his bravery, can also become the guardian dog of the family. The robber thief should also be afraid when he sees a large dog like Demu. The dwarf border herders have no deterrent power, so they can only work hard to herd the sheep.

As for military dogs, because of Marin's leading role, it can be expected that European countries will pay more and more attention to night attacks in the future. Because of the night attack, Marin was repeatedly successful. European countries, on the other hand, are accustomed to imitating each other. So, Marin can be sure that there will definitely be more and more night raid battles in the future.

It was as if the Saxon army attacked Leeuwarden this time, taking advantage of the night to blow open the city gates and suddenly attack the city. Not only that, but they also learned the means by which Marin blew up the city gates.

Therefore, in the future uh war, Marin also needs to guard against the enemy's use of night attacks against himself......

As for guarding against the enemy's night attack, in addition to planning to arrange a secret outpost, Marin also plans to arrange a military dog vigil. Military dogs have strong hearing and are highly alert. If the enemy dares to touch it quietly, it is easy for the military dog to hear the sound. As long as the military dog barks wildly and gives an early warning, the enemy's night attack will be exposed. In this regard, the sentry cannot be compared with the military dog.

At night, the sentinel can only see what is within the light range. And since the enemy is attacking at night, he will definitely hide in the shadows and will not be easily discovered by you. But if you have a military dog, it doesn't matter where you hide, as long as you move, you will definitely make a sound. As long as it is heard by military dogs, it will issue an early warning in time.

In addition, military dogs also have the function of cleaning up local scouts. The warrior went out with the military dog, went around the vicinity of the barracks, and in some remote corners, according to the smell left by people, it was possible to spot the enemy's scouts and strike at the enemy's reconnaissance capabilities.

At this time, only Marin and his more trusted subordinates have telescopes. No other force has this kind of thing. If the enemy wants to reconnoiter the situation in the Marin army, he can only send spies to reconnoiter closely. In this way, as long as the patrol takes the military dog out for a circle, it will be easy to catch the enemy's spies and turn the enemy into a "blind man."

As for the ability to counter narcotics and find explosives, there is no such demand at present, but there is no need to rush to train this ability. Of course, there are no such training talents under Marin...... However, the ability to guard and patrol and track is enough to meet the needs at this stage, and there is no need to pursue too much......

……

In order to find Demu, Marin personally painted, spent the image of Demu in his memory on paper, and asked his subordinates to look for it......

Unexpectedly, the portrait of Demu painted by Marin was seen by one of his soldiers, and the soldier immediately recognized it:

"Isn't this what we usually see in Alsace?"

Most of Marin's men came from the Württemberg Mountains and Alsace. And the soldier who recognized the portrait of "Demu" was an Alsatian.

Marin hurriedly summoned the soldier and asked him for details......

It turns out that in the Alsace region, this kind of sheepdog, known as the "Alsace wolfdog", is a very common thing. As a soldier born in the Alsace region, it is natural to see many times.

Moreover, the owners of the estates in Alsace were fond of raising these large fierce dogs to deter serfs. If any serf is disobedient, he may be bitten by this "Alsatian wolfhound......

Coincidentally, this Alsatian warrior named Hurd was bitten by the "Alsatian wolf dog" released by the other party because of a conflict with the young master of the manor's family, and he was deeply impressed. Therefore, after seeing the portrait of Demu, he immediately recognized it.

"Very well, Hurd, I now entrust you to bring someone back with money, and get me dozens of puppies of this dog. At the same time, hire a couple of people who are good at training this type of dog back. Now that the matter is done, I have a reward! ”

Hearing that if you find a group of puppies and a few dog trainers and come back, you can get a big reward, and the soldier named Hurd is also very happy. As a veteran, Hurd naturally knows that his boss is a local tyrant. Marin said that there are many rewards, and it will definitely not disappoint. So, Hurd returned home with a team of assistants to find Alsatian wolfdog puppies and professionals who were good at dog training......

Marin looked forward to it more than Hurd, if the tall and mighty German Shepherd was cultivated in his own hands. At that time, it must be very majestic to travel with a wolf dog...... Uh, no, I'm the king of a country, and it's not good to take a wolf dog out to scare people. Therefore, the glorious task of leading the wolf dog out to show off should be handed over to his son Little Caesar......

In his previous life, Marin once saw a bear child riding Demu as a "dog cavalry", which was very funny. Moreover, because the bear child was riding a "wolf dog", he insisted that he was a "wolf cavalry", which almost made Marin laugh...... Marin decided to take advantage of Caesar's young age and light weight to let him feel what it was like to be a "dog cavalryman...... It's a pity that Marin doesn't have a camera or mobile phone to take pictures. However, you can let Leonardo da Vinci draw and leave that funny moment......

What Marin didn't expect was that because of one of his funny ideas, Leonardo da Vinci left behind a famous painting - "Julius Caesar Riding a Dog......
