After careful consideration, Marin decided to abandon the 5,000 standing army of the former Bishopric of Münster and the 800 standing army of Osnabrück. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The reason why this is so is because these 5800 mercenaries are already old mercenaries with bad habits that are difficult to change. Absorbing them like an army will only bring in bad recruits and reduce the combat effectiveness of the army.

You must know that these veteran mercenaries, stealing chickens and dogs, killing and robbing, are all proficient. If you keep them, it will definitely ruin military discipline.

Marin's army was different, they were all honest and simple rural youths brought from rural Germany by Marin. Before they joined the army, they had not yet contracted the bad habits of ordinary mercenaries. After entering Marin's army, it is even more impossible to get infected with these bad habits. Otherwise, they will be severely punished by military law.

Therefore, Marin would rather go to the German countryside and recruit some honest rural youths and train them from scratch than recruit those old mercenaries. However, if the war is tight, Marin doesn't mind hiring him on a temporary basis.

Although he planned to dismiss these 5,800 people, Marin was very worried about whether these people would be hired by his enemies after being dismissed by himself. When the time comes, these people will become their own enemies.

You must know that the mercenaries of the Episcopal State of Münster have a good combat effectiveness in the general army. If it weren't for the lack of justice of the Bishop of Münster, Conrad, and the coercion of the Pope's edict, if these mercenaries were to defend the city of Münster and fight with themselves, Marin, an army dominated by the new army, might suffer a great loss. After all, the other party occupies a favorable position, and the city gate is sealed again. If you want to take Münster by force, you can only use the tactics of piling up human lives.

Marin didn't want to hire the army and didn't want them to leave, so he was caught between a rock and a hard place......

"Do you want to give it to His Majesty the Emperor?" Marin suddenly thought. After all, if Maximilian I was going to fight the battle for Swiss supremacy, he would definitely need more men.

However, the scale of 5,800 people is too large, and the poor ghost of the emperor may not be able to afford it......

As Marin pondered the question, he habitually tapped his fingers on the table and made a "tuk-tuk" sound. And on the table where his fingers were tapping, there was a map of Europe......

Marin looked down and saw that his finger was tapping right on the map of Ireland......

"That's right, give these men to Earl Edward!" Marin patted his head and finally came up with a good solution.

The Earl of Edward now had only 8,000 mercenaries and 2,000 conscripts recruited from local Ireland. But those conscripts are also responsible for serving tea and pouring water for the help troops. If you want them to have any combat effectiveness, that's unlikely.

Moreover, most of the Count Edward's army is now French mercenaries. Basically, Edward's fate was still in the hands of the French. If the French don't play with him, Count Edward will be finished.

Therefore, Count Edward actually needs an armed force to balance with the French mercenaries. And these 5,800 German mercenaries seem to be very good......

In the Edward's army, there were originally 3,000 French mercenaries and 2,000 Swiss mercenaries. Now, with the reinforcement of 2,000 French mercenaries and 1,000 Scottish mercenaries, the number of French mercenaries under Count Edward has reached 5,000. Moreover, the 2,000 Swiss mercenaries were actually hired with the help of France.

If this 5,800-strong German mercenary army is given to Count Edward, it can not only balance the influence of the French army, make Count Edward have more right to speak, but also make Count Edward's strength greatly increased. After all, with the addition of these 5,800 men, the number of regular troops in Edward's hands would reach 13,800 (the 2,000 levies can be ignored). With such strength, it can completely withstand the counterattack of the English.

Thinking of this, Marin immediately suspended the operation of disbanding this mercenary group and stabilized them first. Then, he wrote to Van Gore, the representative of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, who had already left for the island of Ireland, to ask him to come and take over the mercenaries and take them to Ireland.

Because of the large number of people, the consumption is also huge. Marin was well aware that Count Edward was currently incapable of paying commissions. Therefore, Marin planned to take out this money in the name of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce and raise these 5,800 people first to help Count Edward fight. At the same time, it also relied on this army to expand the voice of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce in Count Edward.

……

After solving this headache, Marin was in a good mood, so he took a group of his subordinates to ride a horse and go to the spring. After all, it's just the end of April, and it's a good time for spring to shine.

In this bright spring season, it seems that the animals are also doing that......

When Marin led a group of his men to dismount and enjoy the flowers by a sea of flowers, a scene that made him extremely embarrassed appeared - his uncastrated war horse Karl actually broke free from the reins, ran to a red mare not far away, pounced on him from behind, and did something embarrassing......

Looking at Carl, who looked cheap, Marlin felt that his face was lost by this goods......

What made Marin laugh even more was that the owner of the red mare, a civil official, shamelessly praised Karl's majesty...... Affection, Carl went to his mare, that was a blessing he had cultivated for eight generations......

"This kid has a future...... That's a flattering ......," Marin gave an appreciative look.

Unexpectedly, this guy is even more energetic. Seeing Marin's appreciative gaze, this shameless civil official actually ran to help Carl push his fart, as if it was Marin who was doing that, and he was shameless to the extreme......

Looking at the unbearable scene in front of him, Marin wanted to cover his face in shame. Luckily, although the horse's work is large, the mating time is really short. In a few moments, Carl was done. When he was done, Carl stood up on his front legs and hissed as if he had done something remarkable......

"Shouldn't I get a veterinarian to castrate this guy?" Marin thought as he touched the short beard on his chin.

Karl is a little too energetic, not at all as quiet and calm as those castrated stallions. Every spring, when Carl and his wife saw the mare, they were in a commotion, and they were very embarrassed by Marlin.

However, Marin thought about it, but he still didn't give up. After all, Carl has been with him for eight or nine years. From a young pony to a middle-aged horse, in three or five years, he will retire. Although "the horse is middle-aged", he still hasn't changed his lustful problem, quite like a "salty and wet uncle". However, Carl is still loyal and brave to himself. At the beginning, when he was knocked unconscious by Cage and taken away, Carl actually ran into Hyde City with Cage's horse, but he didn't want to leave his side.

"Forget it, let's let this guy go......"

After the Karl Na smash was over, this time I stepped into the spring, and finally the painting style was normal. Marin and his subordinates, in the bright spring light, bragged about the bulls, and spent a pleasant day......
