Before, Marin had planned to recruit another 5,000 recruits. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Then, with these 5000 recruits, instead of 5000 veterans, take part in the ground offensive against Denmark.

Because, Marin has already started, transporting some veterans in batches to the island of Lampedusa on the coast of North Africa, hiding in the river valley of the island. Then, be prepared to buy a large number of ships to hide in the harbor of this uninhabited island.

In the event of an accident in Rome, Archbishop Rovere would land directly near Rome under the escort of 5,000 veterans on the island, and then go straight to the city of Rome.

For this purpose, Archbishop Rovere took a lot of money from Marin and bought a small fishing village in the middle of nowhere near the city of Rome, where he built several more piers with long bridges. In the event of a change in Rome, the troops hiding on the island of Lampedusa would board ships and land in this small fishing village in the middle of nowhere.

As for whether you can enter the city of Rome or not, this question is not a question at all. At that time, Archbishop Rovere was a one-handed man in the city of Rome, and he still used the pope as a puppet. So, in the city of Rome, there were many of his old ministries. It's just that because they were suppressed by Alexander VI, they were all hidden. As soon as Archbishop Rovere's army arrives, as long as a specific signal is given, there will be underground forces to open the gates for Archbishop Rovere. During the construction of the fishing village wharf, Archbishop Rovere sent his cronies to infiltrate the city of Rome, contacted some of the old subordinates who were hidden, agreed on a code to open the city gates, and provided financial help.

These 5,000 people are all veterans under Marin, such as Caesar. The 4,000 Italian mercenaries under Borgia don't know how much stronger. Coupled with the equipment of the musketeers, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is definitely two notches stronger than Caesar Borgia's Italian mercenaries. Moreover, Caesar Borgia had only 4,000 troops and was scattered in several important towns in the Papal States. There were only 2,000 people who actually defended Rome. As long as these 5,000 men enter the city, Caesar. Borgia's army will be defeated. And if Caesar. If Borgia and Alexander VI were poisoned together, the defenders would not have resisted without a leader. Even if you resist, you won't be very resolute.

Of course, Marin is still very confident in the veterans under him. Even Caesar. Borgia is well, with 2000 troops desperately resisting, Marin is also confident that his men will defeat them.

However, in order to keep it secret, all of the 5,000 veterans Marin arranged for his henchmen, and the officers used were all from civilian backgrounds, and none of them were from noble backgrounds.

Because it is difficult for people of noble origin to fool, if they know that they are planning to attack Rome, they may not be happy. And the group of civilian-born veterans who have been following Marin, although they are a little less culturally poor, are experienced and know how to fight. At least, it was no problem to teach Rome those 2000 Italian mercenaries. Even in the face of an equal number of Swiss mercenaries, they were not afraid.

To be on the safe side, Marin directly sent Steindorff, who was one of the best civilian generals, to take full command of the army. The officers under his command were all from civilian backgrounds, and none of them were nobles.

Marin promised Steindorf that if the battle was successful, he would return as a baron, and would be on an equal footing with Schwarz, Frenzberg and others......

The transfer of 5,000 people from the mainland will naturally create emptiness and insufficient troops. So, Marin decided to recruit another 5,000 people to fill the gap.

As for the internal security after the army goes out, it is still the old rule, and 7,000 militia guards in the country are summoned. These 7,000 local militiamen were all dispatched by Hoffman Sr. As soon as Marin left East Friesland, the elder Hoffman would become the supreme defense commander of the East Friesian Empire, commanding the 7000 militia.

With these people defending, plus Marin reinforcing several cities in the country, it is not too difficult for others to capture it. After all, these militias, although they may not be able to fight full-time mercenaries in field battles, can be defended according to the city wall, and they can still wrestle with mercenaries. What's more, the city walls of several cities in the country have been renovated by Marin, and they have also been reinforced with cement, and it is very difficult for the enemy to capture them. And Marin, who is out of the army, if he returns to the army to rescue, under the attack from both sides, the general forces will really not be able to bear it.

Before the autumn harvest was over, Marin asked Schwartz to take his men and horses to the south to recruit the poor. During the autumn harvest, it is impossible to recruit people. Because, even the surplus population, during the autumn harvest, will be hired by those serf owners to help with the harvest.

The reason why this is so is because the autumn harvest is to be rushed. Why snap it up? Because I'm afraid of rain. Once it rains, the millet rots in the ground. At that time, there was no dryer, and when it rained, the grain in the field was easy to rot. Therefore, every autumn harvest is a tense war. In ancient times, there was no weather forecast, and everyone did not know if it would rain tomorrow. Therefore, during the autumn harvest, all the farmers were nervously scrambling for time, not daring to slack off in any way, for fear that it would rain in the middle of the way. Fearing a shortage of manpower, during the autumn harvest season, the plantor owners often chose to hire poor people who had no work to do to help with the harvest in order to speed up the process. Therefore, during the autumn harvest period, it is difficult to find idlers.

The population under Marin's command, after receiving compensation from the Saxons, was long and sufficient. In addition, he also asked his soldiers to help go to the field to harvest, so the speed was very fast, and the harvest was completed in fine weather.

However, other regions may not be so lucky. Just two days after the autumn harvest in Marin, a widespread rain fell across Germany......

Marin's rye, because of the application of potassium and phosphate fertilizers, so the harvest period is earlier than the average person, and because of the abundance of cattle, the spring ploughing ends quickly and the sowing is early. Thus, all of Germany, only the East Friesian Lamber of Marin, perfectly avoided the autumn harvest rains. In most of Germany, including the Netherlands and the northern half of France, the rainy season occurs halfway through autumn......

"Alas...... I don't know how many farmers will starve to death with this rain......" Marin sighed. However, such widespread rainfall will increase the price of rye in his hands. However, thinking of the scene where many people starved to death, Marin was still very embarrassed. After all, his soul is a civilized modern man. It's just that, for some reason, there is still a hint of joy in his heart......

Compared with Marin, the barons and nobles with fiefs under him were crazy. Several small aristocrats in the countryside started a bumper harvest "party":

"Haha, this year we are fortunate to have an early autumn harvest, otherwise we would have been unlucky!"

"That is, it rained heavily during the autumn harvest this year, and the ground was full of rotten grain, and the price of grain will definitely rise, and we will make a fortune!"

"Yes, make a fortune! Come, a toast to making a fortune together......"

……

Marin thought about it for a long time, and finally understood why he was secretly happy - the grain harvest would definitely fail elsewhere, and when the time came, it would be easier to recruit mercenaries himself. Similarly, it will be easier to recruit immigrants......

Because, if the harvest fails elsewhere, there will be a large number of hungry people. In order to survive, some people choose to work as soldiers, or emigrate to East Friesland, and it is a matter of course. When the time comes, as long as Marin promises "enough bread", a large number of hungry people will come to ......

So, Marin sent men to catch up with Schwarz's team heading south, and told him to wait a little longer, and when the autumn harvest was over and the famine began to break out, he would set up a stall to recruit troops. In this way, there will be more room for choice.

At the same time, Marin also prepares Kohler. Once Schwartz's recruitment is over, he will also lead the team to recruit refugees. Because of the untimely rains during the autumn harvest, there will definitely be a lot of refugees this year.

As for how to place it? It's not really a problem. Even if the local arrangement is not available, it is a good choice to send it to the colony......

In short, Marin will be very profitable this year. Of course, not to make money, but to earn people...... Who let this autumn rain come at such an inopportune time......
