The choice of those Cossacks who followed the crowd was clearly a wise decision. At least, these Cossacks were more obedient. There were 100 German Cossacks to show them, and they were still willing to learn the rules.

Speaking of which, these Cossacks were born horse bandits in the steppe, and their personal combat effectiveness was very good. However, the discipline was poor. Therefore, Marlin did not need to train their individual abilities at all, but only their discipline. With good discipline, the combat effectiveness of the army composed of those Cossacks will be multiplied.

For these Cossacks, Marin is still more precious. In order to reduce their casualties in the conflict with the indigenous Indians, Malint ordered each of them to be ordered to have chain mail with good protection. Although the protection of chain mail is not as good as plate armor, it is much lighter than plate armor and suitable for light cavalry such as Cossacks. In the face of the backward weapons of the natives, chain mail was enough to protect the Cossacks.

As for the sabers, they are all old high-carbon steel sabers. Such a weapon is definitely enough to deal with the indigenous Indians on the Argentine side. Because, at this time, the Indians on the Argentine steppe are probably still using stone tools, and they do not have metal weapons. Even the Inca Empire, the most powerful empire in South America, had only wooden clubs, stone axes, javelins, spears, bows and arrows, and slingshots for their armies. Moreover, the heads of spears and bows and arrows were stone tools. Therefore, Marin was confident that those Cossacks wearing chain mail would be able to withstand the attacks of the natives.

In addition, Marin would equip the Cossacks with some common cavalry bows and arrows. It's best to be able to shoot some enemies without contact. Moreover, shooting before the charge can hit the morale of the enemy. In any case, the quality of European bows and arrows is certainly stronger than that of those indigenous Indians. Even if the Cossacks were not good at archery, it was okay to let them shoot a few arrows indiscriminately to scare their opponents. What's more, usually bows and arrows can also be used for hunting.

……

In order to maintain the supply of these Cossack cavalry, Marin transferred all 5,000 Eastern European Mongolian horse mares purchased from Jama Khan to them. With the mare's milk from these 5,000 mares, their staple food is available. Mare's milk can be drunk when cooked, or it can be made into yogurt or cheese, whatever you want. And with bows and arrows, they can also shoot some wild animals in the pampas for meat.

In addition, in the settlement area of the estuary of the La Plata, several fishing boats will be equipped to go out to sea to catch fish as a supplement. And when the farmland in the reclamation area was cleared, the Cossacks could get not only food supplies, but also vegetables.

After some training, Marin told the Cossacks about the task - to attack and annex the backward indigenous tribes in the Pampas.

There were no problems with the 100 German Cossacks in Marin, because they were used to obeying orders. However, the 400 genuine Eastern European Cossacks were confused......

A young Zaporozhye Cossack with a confused face asked Marin through an interpreter:

"Master, you said that the natives of those wild continents want nothing, they are poorer than our Cossacks, and what can we get by robbing them? What's the point? ”

The Cossacks were a bandit tribe, and when they attacked other tribes, they always wanted their possessions. However, according to Marin, the natives of the "wild continent" are very backward, like savages, and do not even have metal weapons, and those Zaporozhye Cossacks do not understand - why rob such a poor person?

……

Marin was also a little stunned by the question - yes, why is it to rob a poor ratio? In ancient times, the northern steppe nomads went south to rob the Central Plains Dynasty because the Central Plains Dynasty was the richest in the world and worth grabbing. Can this group of Cossacks be robbed or primitive South American Indian natives, what is the plan?

Of course, for Marin, it must be the map territory. However, for those Cossacks, the same cannot be said. After all, the territory was grabbed and not given to it.

But if they were not aroused to rob, they had little incentive to attack the natives. But what was there for the Cossacks to be so poor as the Indians? Without a good excuse, it would affect the enthusiasm of the Cossacks to expand......

However, Marin couldn't think of anything worth grabbing from a group of Native American primitives after thinking about it......

"That's right, Population!"

Ma Lin suddenly remembered that in history, when the nomads in northern China went south to rob, they not only robbed property, but also robbed people.

Why did those nomads rob people? This starts with the characteristics of the steppe peoples. In the northern steppes, the replacement of ethnic groups is very fast. Before the Mongols occupied the steppe, there were Xiongnu, Donghu, Xianbei, Rouran, Turkic, and Khitan people on the steppe...... Like a marquee, you sing and I appear......

And how did these nomads rise to prominence? Reproducing and reproducing on your own is obviously too slow. Therefore, these rising tribes often like to attack other tribes. In addition to the tribes that voluntarily surrendered, the nomads dealt with the hostile tribes with cruelty - they would kill the men above the wheel, leaving only women and children......

With women, they could force the captive women to bear children for them and expand the tribal population. And children, when raised, can also serve as the fighting force of the clan.

For those ancient steppe peoples, women and children were the cornerstone of the tribe's growth. Even if the tribe starts with only a few hundred men, if it takes a few thousand women, it will have thousands more children the next year.

Men and women are not the same, a woman, no matter how many men she has, she may be the only one who has children. Even if she slept with a hundred men, she could only conceive one child a year. But if a man has 100 women, within a year, all 100 women can conceive children......

Therefore, the secret of the rapid growth of those steppe peoples is to grab enough women and make them pregnant. At the same time, it also robs those children who are not yet sensible and cultivates the successors of the tribe......

As long as there are enough women and children snatched, a tribe grows stronger, but it is only a matter of decades. And this is the law of the grassland jungle of Chiguoguo - whichever tribe has enough force to grab enough women and children, it can grow rapidly......

……

It's just that such a steppe jungle law does not apply in Europe. Because, Christianity stipulates that a man is allowed to have only one wife......

In Europe, only legitimate children are treated as human beings. As for what illegitimate children, even if they are illegitimate children of nobles, they have no status, and they will be ridiculed, and they will not have the right to inherit.

Of course, Europe is an agrarian society, the social environment is stable, and monogamy can be implemented smoothly. And in the grassland where the killing continues, letting people have only one wife is simply killing those tribes. Moreover, even if you don't rob the women of other tribes, the mortality rate of men is very high in the grasslands where there are many conflicts.

Marin must not dare to openly let men marry more women in the Beihai Kingdom, because it violates the canon. But in the distant South American pampas, Marin is a daring adventurer.

So, Marin asked the interpreter to tell those Ukrainian Cossacks:

"If you conquer those indigenous tribes, the women will be chosen at will, and if they have children, they will also have the right to share the land!"

"What?" Those Cossacks were stunned.

Strictly speaking, the Ukrainian Cossacks, for the most part, were also originally Orthodox Christians. Orthodoxy is also a branch of Christianity and is also monogamous. For Marin's statement, they couldn't accept it for a while. Only a few Tatars, accustomed to this pattern, did not take it seriously, but were interested......

Marin asked the translator to add:

"Of course, a wife can only marry one. However, illegitimate children also have the right to land. After all, there's more land over there than you can score! Moreover, the government can help you raise your children......"

Having said this clearly, those Cossacks, of course, understood what Marin meant. Immediately, they shouted and cheered.

For these Cossacks, nothing more than the word "wine-colored". In addition, I hope to have offspring. Marin allowed them to snatch women as mistresses and helped them raise illegitimate children...... That's a big attraction......

Then the group of Cossack villains was ignited with enthusiasm and filled with longing for the Pampas steppe......

Seeing that the villains' enthusiasm for conquest was ignited, Marin nodded in satisfaction - now the expansion plan of the Pampas was stable......
