In addition to the post-war reconstruction, the most important thing for Marin was probably the "demolition" of the old noble gates of the eight vassal states (excluding the Gerdon Count, but joining the Schaumburg Count).

It would definitely not work to keep these old nobles where they were, otherwise, these landlords would take control of the place, and Marin's control over the newly incorporated territory would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Marin's method was very simple and rude - forcibly relocated the nobles of the original eight countries to Bremen Province to facilitate centralized management and monitoring.

However, these local little aristocrats who are accustomed to being uncles in the local area will definitely not be willing to give in easily. For this reason, during this time, Marin sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to various places to supervise the relocation of the nobles of the eight countries by force.

This posture is very similar to the forced demolition carried out in some places in China in later generations. Moreover, it is simpler and crude. After all, the forced demolition of later generations in Huaxia generally controlled people, and then used machines to forcibly push houses, but generally did not dare to hurt people.

And Marin here is much simpler and crude—you don't want to relocate? Well, if you don't relocate, you die, you choose......

If you don't move, you die, beat someone or something, that's the basic operation. Therefore, in the original aristocratic manors of the 8 vassal states, chickens and dogs are jumping everywhere. Seeing that the recalcitrant resistance was ineffective, the old aristocrats became selfish, so they had to move their families to Bremen Province by carrying all the valuable things on carriages or boats (transported by canal boats).

It's just that there are a bit of veteran nobles in these 8 vassal states, and there are more than 200, which is more than the 150 in the original Bremen Province.

This is still a nobleman with a fief, and there are hundreds of nobles who do not have a fief. They also moved, however, in a different place.

More than 200 nobles with fiefs were replaced by fiefs in Bremen. Because the number of more than 200 is far more than the 100 noble manors vacated before. Marin had to urgently negotiate with other local non-aristocratic landowners in Bremen to buy estates from them and distribute them to the nobles who had been replaced.

Although this kind of purchase has the meaning of forced purchase, Marin did not let those commoner landlords (in fact, most of them were also from aristocratic families, but because they were not the eldest sons, they could not inherit the title of Taoist nobles) suffered, and the estates left by those nobles after the relocation were replaced by Marin to them. Moreover, the land given in exchange is only a little more.

And those nobles who did not have fiefdoms, Marin also concentrated on them. The city of Las Vegas, located on the east bank of the Elbe estuary, became the preferred resettlement area. In addition, some people were resettled in Salzheusen, a small town near the Lüneburg heath.

The reason why some of the nobles of the Eight Kingdoms, who did not have fiefdoms, were placed in Salzhausen, near the Lüneburg steppe, was because Marin intended to use them.

These nobles, accounting for about one-third of the landless aristocracy, numbered more than 30. They are not reused in their original country. Therefore, the princes of the previous 8 countries were unlucky, and they had nothing to empathize with.

When Marin sent people to take over these 8 vassal states, these more than 30 nobles took the initiative to come to the door and asked to serve the Beihai State.

However, Marin was a little frightened by the betrayal of the noble children of the Third and Sixth Legions, and did not dare to accept them into the regular army of the Beihai Kingdom.

However, if people take the initiative to take refuge, they can't chill their hearts. So Marin came up with a solution - to settle them in Salzhausen, a small town in the Lüneburg steppe.

Salzheusen is 15 kilometres west of Lüneburg, on the edge of the Lüneburg steppe. Marin planned to turn the 7,200-square-kilometer Lüneburg steppe into a cavalry base and relocate all 5,000 Cossacks.

And these more than 30 old landless nobles who took refuge in themselves, Marin's arrangement for them was very simple - to learn the characteristics of the Cossack cavalry, combined with the martial arts characteristics of the old knight families in Europe, to develop a regular light cavalry. It's the kind that doesn't wear heavy armor, but charges in a group with great discipline.

In order to develop the regular hussars of the future, Marin specially built a cavalry school in Salzhausen. And the more than 30 landless aristocratic families will send their children into this school as instructors. The students of the school are from the children of commoners who have a talent for horsemanship. Even, the children of the Cossacks.

……

Why do you do that? Because Marin used to look closely. He found that the Cossacks, as tough as they were, were very irregular.

For example, the martial arts of those Cossacks are not very systematic, and they are completely Cossacks who fought on horsebacks.

This kind of martial art, although it is very practical, but the wild way is too obvious, and it is more dependent on talent. Moreover, these Cossacks, who must be seen as very powerful when they are in groups, but if they fight alone, they are generally not the opponents of knights. After all, the knights are all people who have practiced formal martial arts for more than ten years.

What's more, the children of those knight families are all educated. Unlike those Cossacks, they were all illiterate, and there was only one force of bravery. However, if you are an officer, you can't even read orders, so you can't serve as an officer.

……

Therefore, after the end of the war, after careful consideration, Marin decided to establish a cavalry school on the edge of the Lüneburg steppe to train powerful and literate cavalry for the Beihai Kingdom.

The most basic instructors of the cavalry school are the children of the more than 30 landless nobles. Their task was to teach the students the martial arts of foot and horse warfare in the traditional way of cultivating the children of the knight family.

However, because it was a school for light cavalry, the martial arts of using bulky mounted spears were passed by, and the martial arts of using one-handed swords on horseback were instead learned. Of course, noble swordsmanship in foot combat is also compulsory.

In addition to the children of these more than 30 nobles teaching noble martial arts, Marin will also select some Cossack masters who are good at taking apprentices from the Cossacks to teach the children Cossack riding and the use of swords. After all, the one-handed weapons used by European knights were mainly knightly straight swords, not sabers. When it comes to the use of sabers, the authentic Cossacks are more powerful.

In addition to learning these two martial arts, Marin also allows the students to learn about culture. Of course, there is also the daily prayer of allegiance to Marin and brainwashing.

As for the source of the cadets, Marin had already thought about it - from the annual primary school graduates, a group of strong elementary school scum was selected and sent to the cavalry school in Salzhausen for martial arts training.

Primary school graduates are generally only twelve or thirteen years old, which is a good age to start practicing martial arts. Because, most knights also began to formally practice riding and martial arts at the age of 14. Before the age of 14, the knight who was still a squire could only be regarded as a squire, mainly for the study of etiquette, and even for the knights who followed, only after the Tao was promoted from a squire to a squire at the age of 14, he would begin to formally practice martial arts.

Therefore, Marin selected the cadets of the cavalry school from the scum who graduated from elementary school, which was the right age.

After a few years of mixed education in the traditional knightly and Cossack style of the cavalry school, these children will grow up to be high-level cavalrymen with high martial arts. Even, capable of serving as a cavalry junior officer.

In the future, Marin will definitely form a large-scale cavalry corps. And this cavalry school is the cornerstone of the establishment of the cavalry of the Grand Legion......
