However, Marin knew that although he now had 5,000 Cossack cavalry, these 5,000 Cossacks could not fight a tough battle for the time being. Because, this group of Cossacks also had little experience in tough battles, and they lacked experience in management.

Those authentic Cossacks recruited from the steppes of Eastern Europe were personally brave, but lacked discipline. Moreover, although many of them have also had combat experience before, most of them were skirmishes at the level of horse thieves fighting each other. The kind of battle that can easily involve thousands of people, they are also inexperienced.

As for those 1500 German Cossacks, that's not to mention. Although these people are more obedient and disciplined than genuine Cossacks, when it comes to personal martial arts, they are inferior to those genuine Cossacks. Moreover, they have never fought and lack combat experience.

So, don't look at the 10 Cossack cavalry regiments are very bluffing, but the actual combat effectiveness is still very difficult to say. Marin was sure that this group of people would have no problem fighting with the wind. But when it comes to headwinds, it's hard to say. Because, the biggest characteristic of the herdsman army is that it is good at escaping......

The army on the grassland does not like to fight to the death. They usually come to slash and kill when they see a bargain, and when they encounter a hard bone, they immediately hide far away. If you like to fight hard, no grassland people are the opponents of agricultural peoples. It was by virtue of this almost rogue tactic that the steppe cavalry was able to restrain the army of the agrarian people.

Therefore, Marin never counted on these Cossack cavalry to help him fight tough battles. The real battle against the enemy was a regular army of German mountain dwellers and peasants. Because, these people can't run away without horses. Choose to defeat the enemy or be defeated. As for trying to escape? The infantry can't escape......

As for the Cossacks, it was not useless. For example, Marin planned to have these Cossacks use cavalry regiments as units to attack the opponent's grain convoys. In the face of those second-line transport people, these Cossacks can still be easily bullied.

Originally, Marin planned to let these Cossacks go to the Americas to fight a few battles with the indigenous Indians, and see blood. After all, recruits who have never seen blood rush into battle and are prone to problems. In particular, the 1500 German Cossacks were all standard recruits, and they basically had no combat experience. rashly pulling over the decisive battle is particularly prone to chaos.

However, with the dispatch of the alliance of princes, the curtain of the war has been opened, and Marin has no time to train those newcomers. Therefore, we can only catch the ducks on the shelves first......

"Kohler, you go and call Schwartz and Stadder, I'm going to give orders!" Marin has not appeared in public yet, so it is difficult to give orders directly, so he can only give orders through Schwartz and them.

Soon, Schwartz and Stade arrived at the mansion and entered the secret room to listen to Marlin's orders. On the instructions of Marin, Schwarz and Stadder, in the name of representatives of the army of the "five-man regency", ordered the formation of 10 Cossack cavalry regiments and the formation of 10 cavalry regiments into a Cossack cavalry regiment, with the commander of the 1st Cossack cavalry regiment, Alsace, as the acting commander.

At the same time, the two men also signed an order ordering the acting commander of Alsace to immediately gather all 10 cavalry regiments for a general march and charge maneuver across Jutland.

In fact, the exercise was just a façade. These 10 Cossack cavalry regiments, as soon as they began to exercise, did not go back. Because, war is about to start. These 10 Cossack cavalry regiments will soon be put into battle.

Moreover, it should be pointed out that Marin's strategic goals have also been greatly adjusted this time......

……

Originally, Marin thought that during the period of his "death", a group of vassal states would form an alliance to attack the Beihai State to take advantage.

But through intelligence, Ma Lin knew that those princes didn't take the Beihai Kingdom that "lost themselves" in their eyes at all, but ran to beat the emperor.

Therefore, Ma Lin, who had just planned to join forces with the princes, immediately adjusted his plan, intending to only clean up the few vassal states that coveted the secrets of the Beihai Kingdom.

Moreover, coincidentally, this time, the vassal states that coveted the secrets of the Beihai State did not even participate in the alliance of princes. Because, they plan to take advantage of the chaos of the Beihai Kingdom "losing Marin" and take advantage of the Beihai Kingdom.

In this way, Marin only had to deal with a few neighboring vassal states. If you don't join forces with the princes, the pressure will be much less.

Although the results will be much smaller, it is still much better than being hostile to most of the princes. Moreover, Marin plans to completely cripple these unfriendly neighbors this time and make a fierce threat. Especially with a certain principality on the side, Marin intends to put it to death this time.

Of course, the reason why Marin wanted to rectify a certain principality on the side this time was that in addition to the fact that the other party coveted the secret of the high grain yield of the Beihai Kingdom, Marin coveted the other party's resources was also an important reason.

This principality, in addition to its size, has another place that attracts Marin - the territory of the other country has potash mines......

In fact, more than half of Marin's agricultural production comes from the salt mines of the Harz Mountains in the principality. Every year, when Marin brought back potash from the country, he was extorted a large tax by this duke. If it weren't for Marin arranging for his men to hide his identity to do this, and the potash was not directly transported to Beihai Country, maybe the secret of the potash would have been found out by the other party.

Therefore, Marin decided to take advantage of this opportunity to completely cripple the principality. If possible, it is best to eliminate the annexation directly. You must know that the Harz Mountains not only have potash salts, but also copper, lead, zinc, silver and other mineral deposits. Moreover, the reserves of silver ore are not low. The Rammelsberg mine near the famous city of Goslar is a famous lead-zinc-silver and copper mine in Germany, which was mined from 968 to 1988, with about 27 million tons of silver, gold, lead, zinc and copper ore. It is said that Leibniz, a famous mathematician, worked as a mining engineer at the Harz Mountain Silver Mine.

Also, Brocken Mountain, the highest mountain in the Harz Mountains, is also famous. Even, the famous lead-zinc-silver mining city of Broken Hill in Australia in later generations took its name from Broken Hill in the Hartz Mountains. Actually, the Hill in Broken Hill means hill, mountain.

The reason why Brockenhill in Australia is named the same as Brocken Mountain in the Harz Mountains is because the United Kingdom at that time was ruled by the Hanover royal family (Queen Victoria belonged to the Hanover family), and the Brocken Hill in the Harz Mountains happened to belong to the Kingdom of Hanover. Later, after colonizing Australia, it was about the lead-zinc-silver mine of Broken Hill, which reminded the discoverers at the time of the Broken Hill in the Kingdom of Hanover, which was also rich in lead, zinc and silver, so they took the same name.

Of course, the Harz Mountains don't have as much lead-zinc-silver reserves as Australia's Broken Hill mine, but in Europe, it's also a big mine. After all, this is a mine that can be mined for thousands of years.

So, this time, the mineral deposits of Hartz Mountain, Marin is going to be determined......
