Chapter 1590 - Scottish Highlanders Military Family Placement
Bought more than rao. After George's quartermaster Benayoun, Zahavi, a spy sent by Marin, did not immediately arrange for Benayoun to do so. The horses of George's rebel cavalry used croton flour.
Because, at this time, the main force of the official army was still suppressing the rebel army and the Northern Route Army in the northern mountainous area. Give more forgiveness at this time. George's cavalry's horses were drugged and useless. Even if there is no war horse, how forgiving. George also had more than 50,000 infantry, which was stronger than the 7,000 noble coalition in the city of Kecskemét.
Therefore, in the past few days, Zahavi simply asked Benayoun to personally manage the distribution of war horse feed. This makes it easier for him to familiarize himself with the process. When you need chin bean powder, you can arrange it calmly to avoid mistakes.
Once it's time for a decisive battle, be spared. The 30,000 hussars under George's command all ate croton flour and diarrhea, so there was no need to fight this battle. Without war horses, those herdsman-born hussars were not as effective as ordinary spear infantry......
……
The encirclement and suppression battles in the mountains of northern Hungary continued, and the siege of Kecskemét was in full swing. But here, it won't be over for a while. After all, the difficulty in the battle in the northern mountains is not in the battle, but in the difficulty of the terrain. Even though most of the Second Army was a seasoned and strong soldier from the mountains of southern Germany, it was not unfamiliar with the local terrain. If you want to eliminate the local rebel army, it is estimated that it will take a while.
At this time, the large-scale rebel army in the northern mountains was basically defeated and scattered. However, because the rebel army in the Northern Route Army had a large number of natives from the northern mountains. Under their guidance, the remaining officers and men of the Northern Route Army of the rebel army were broken into pieces and scurried around the northern mountains in small-scale units of a maximum of a few hundred people, making the officers and soldiers who came to suppress them a little helpless.
In desperation, Wagner, the commander of the Second Army of the Beihai State, who was the main force in suppressing the uprising, proposed a strategy of building pillboxes.
He proposed the construction of blockhouses and beacons in one of the most important transportation hubs conquered in the northern mountains. In this way, as long as the defenders in the bunker saw the remnants of the rebel army appearing, they could light the beacon tower and report to the nearby officers and soldiers, so as to achieve the purpose of intercepting the fleeing remnants of the rebel army in time.
Sure enough, after the implementation of this method, the remnants of the rebel army who had left the mountains in search of food supplies were discovered in time. Under the guidance of Fengyan, the officers and troops dispatched cavalry in time to surround them and achieve brilliant results.
Subsequently, the construction of such a combination of bunkers and beacons began on a large scale on various communication arteries in the mountainous regions of northern Hungary. And the remnants of the rebel army operating in the mountains have greatly reduced their living space. Because they did not dare to easily go to the towns near the transportation hub to replenish food and other daily necessities, the remnants of the rebel army's Northern Route Army were now living very miserably, often hungry, and had to guard against the officers and soldiers entering the mountains to search......
The most terrifying thing is that Wagner, the commander of the Second Army of the Beihai Country, also transferred a police dog unit from the Beihai Country itself. This police dog unit, composed of hundreds of Alsatian wolfhounds, was specially used to track down the remnants of the rebels hiding deep in the mountains......
It can be said that under the joint suppression of various means such as blockade of pillboxes and wolf dog tracking, the defeat of the rebel Northern Route Army seems to be not far away......
……
In the North Sea Country, since King Edward hastily ended the conquest of Ireland, except for the 5,000 men of the Fourth Army, the 1,500 Cossacks sent later, and the soldiers and horses of Adler's own army, all other armies have been withdrawn, including Heynckes' Sixth Army.
When the fleet of the Sixth Regiment arrived at the port of Emden, Marin himself came to meet them.
For their return, Marin was warmly welcomed. Why? Because at this time, the Beihai Kingdom is empty!
Since the 10,000 men and 5,000 Cossack cavalry of the Second Army marched south to support Hungary, only half of the 5,000 men and horses of the First Army remained, as well as 5,000 policemen transferred from various places, and 10,000 men of the Third Army Corps.
As for the newly recruited corps of 20,000 recruits, Marin did not regard them as regular troops at all. Because, these people are here to make up the numbers for a while. In any case, these 20,000 people are farmers, and the fields in Marin Manor still need to be cultivated by them, and they can't really be regarded as standing troops.
And Heynckes returned with the Sixth Legion, which finally relieved Marin. Because, Marin finally doesn't have to worry about the emptiness of troops in the southern part of the Beihai Country.
In particular, the two Duchy of Brunswick, which were only acquired last year, are not stable enough at present. Therefore, as soon as Heynckes' Sixth Army returned, Marin hurriedly mobilized them south, heading to Goslar to take control of the southern region and nearby neighbors.
But before heading south, Heynckes suddenly suggested that the Scottish soldiers of the Sixth Legion were homesick......
It turned out that the long battles in the moors and swamps of Ireland had made the Scottish soldiers a little impatient. At the same time, it also triggers their homesickness.
At night, the scottish bagpipes could be heard in the tents of the Scottish soldiers......
Heynckes obviously sensed that the military spirit was a little unstable, so he hoped that Marlin could help solve it.
Marin thought for a moment and commanded:
"You arrange for someone to count the home addresses of those Scottish soldiers. Then I sent people to Scotland and told them that their families had been brought to the North Sea Country. Then, it was settled near the city of Goslar and built a manor. In the future, those Scottish soldiers can be given holidays in batches in turn, so that they can visit relatives on military estates......"
Heynckes was shocked, you know, how much food will it cost to take over the families of the 7,000 Scottish soldiers and resettle them......
But Marin didn't care, anyway, he didn't really need to come up with a lot of cash. Many materials can be exchanged directly for food.
Moreover, for the manor houses for military families, Marin also planned to use cheap adobe houses. This kind of house is very cheap and can be built quickly. Even if you build a few Scottish military estates, it won't cost too much.
What the? Why don't you let those Scottish soldiers go back to visit their families? Don't be funny, Marin is afraid that those Scottish soldiers will never look back after they go back!
The Scottish region is riddled with mountains, and if those Scottish soldiers go back to become deserters and take their families into the mountains, Marin will have no place to cry.
Moreover, these Scottish soldiers, who have undergone rigorous modern military training in the North Sea State, once they escape, will become a huge security risk in Scotland. If someone organizes them, they will immediately become a formidable force of resistance in the Kingdom of Scotland.
In the future, Caesar is going to unite the Kingdom of Scotland, how can Marin leave a hidden danger for his son?
Therefore, Marin would rather take the trouble and spend a lot of money to establish a few Scottish military estates near the city of Goslar, rather than allow the Scottish soldiers to go back to visit their relatives on their own......
Moreover, because Marin moved most of the nobles of these newly conquered vassal states to the province of Bremen, many of the original noble estates were vacated in the area, which could be used to house the families of the Scottish Highlanders.
In the future, Marin intends to replace the populations of Scotland and Ireland. In this way, those Scots or Irishmen who have left their homeland have to be men with their tails between their legs for a long time. Because, after leaving his hometown, no one dares to cross. By the time they had truly settled down, the Hoffmans would be able to take full control of both places......
