After calculating the Swiss, Marin still felt idle. He is just idle, and as the boss, Marin can't see that his employees are idle......

Yes, the boss is a very black-hearted animal. They can allow themselves to be idle and bored, and have nothing to do to tease Xiaomi. However, they don't want to see their men bored, chatting and farting there. Even if there is no order in the unit, the boss wants to see the employees winding up and busy there......

In his previous life, Marin was a victim of such a boss's psychology. Even if it's okay, I don't dare to be idle, and I have to pretend to be very busy.

But in this life, after becoming a prince, Marin's identity changed and his position changed......

For example, he could allow himself to drink tea leisurely and be lazy, but seeing that the 40,000 men besieging the city were also leisurely, Marin was not happy......

So, Marin plans to have some fun with his men...... Of course, it's what Marin thinks is fun......

The next day, the army received a notice - the whole army was divided into two main parts, 20,000 men each. Between the two parts, one part was responsible for monitoring the Danish troops in the city. The other part is busy with daily training. And...... The Great Tournament......

There were only more than 10,000 Danish troops in the city, and Marin sent 20,000 men to keep an eye on them, which was already enough. And the army, which had no monitoring mission for the time being, was all pulled to a certain distance from Copenhagen for training.

As for the 10,000 militiamen, because of their lack of combat literacy, they must be placed there for intensive training. So, the 10,000 militiamen must have been training in camps far from Copenhagen. The other 30,000 men were divided into three parts, with 20,000 men each kept under Copenhagen to defend against the Danish army.

Those who are far away from Copenhagen are seizing the time for military training. Not only the 10,000 militiamen, but even the veterans, must be kept trained so as not to decline in military standards.

In the East Friesian Army, veterans were not allowed to sit idle. Although there is no daily intense training like recruit training, it still maintains training every once in a while. For example, a 5-kilometer run every day can't be run by both veterans and recruits.

It is precisely because of the long-term maintenance of training that the military level of veterans in East Friesland is not declining, but is getting higher and higher.

Only the musketeers and artillery units, at present, do not maintain regular training because of the lack of gunpowder. However, for training, especially in the early stage, Marin is also not stingy. All in all, Marin's musketeers practiced live fire many times before going to battle. Unlike the musketeers of the later war, many of them did not fire a few shots before going into battle. When it comes to the battlefield, it is basically cannon fodder.

The reason why Marin desperately sought to seize the Americas was not to hesitate to lure Spain to India and tear up Portugal. The purpose is to monopolize Chile in South America and obtain a sufficient supply of saltpeter.

As long as Chilean saltpeter is developed, in the future, Marin's musketeers and artillerymen will be able to fire vigorously without restrictions. When it really goes to the battlefield, excellent artillerymen and musketeers, the difference is huge.

For example, in the previous battles, the operational level of Saxon artillery was much inferior to that of East Frisian artillery. As a result, the opposing artillery positions were scattered by Marin's artillery before they were arranged. This is mainly due to the fact that Marin's artillery practiced shelling a lot in peacetime. Moreover, the artillery also has "advanced" sighting tools such as Lookout Mountain.

……

Under Marin's instructions, 10,000 militiamen were desperately engaged in basic training there. In addition to training, the 10,000 veterans who have been rotated will also have to conduct a large-scale competition to practice the results of their usual training......

For those veterans, the big competition is a demonstration of the results of their usual training. For Ma Lin, the big competition is equivalent to watching a martial arts movie...... Although there are no wonderful shots of flying away like real martial arts movies, it is quite exciting to watch a group of men fight......

Of course, it's not a ring race, it's all a group race.

In Marin's view, the army is a whole, and there is no point in showing individual bravery. Demonstrating the power of the collective is the most important thing.

Therefore, the big competition is divided into three events - the confrontation between 25-person squads; confrontation between companies of 250 people; Confrontation between phalanxes......

Of course, because it is a comrade-in-arms, the spearhead has to be unloaded. Then, the head of the spear was completely wrapped in rags and dipped in lime powder. The soldiers also wore "mahjong mat" armor, and the final victory and defeat and life and death were judged by the lime spots on the soldiers' bodies.

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the fighters, Marin announced that as long as the team competition is won, the fighters in the winning team and those who have wives can get financial rewards. Soldiers who do not have wives can give priority to Danish girls in the wife-snatching operation after the war......

After this incentive was released, those veterans who had wives were fine, and those who didn't have wives were all screaming with excitement, like werewolves transformed on a full moon night......

But there are also a lot of problems in the big competition, for example, the spearmen in the infantry are naturally very easy to compete, and everyone can stab each other with wooden sticks without a spear head.

However, the competition of musketeers was a bit difficult. You can't shoot live ammunition at each other, right? That's going to die. And Marin also did not have the infrared sensing clothing and special firearms for drills of later generations.

Therefore, the competition of musketeers can only be compared to target shooting. Moreover, the comparison is the team's overall shooting score, not the individual shooting score. In addition, it is also necessary to take into account the length of time spent and proficiency of the shooting team, etc.

In addition to the problem of the musketeers' contests, the cavalry contests are really difficult.

Because, if the cavalry has to compete, it is easy to suffer casualties. Cavalry charging at high speed collided, and it was easy to break bones, fall, and even die on the spot.

In desperation, Marin had no choice but to adjust the way of cavalry competition. Changed the competition to a team to charge and assassinate the straw men......

Although the intensity and excitement are lost, the security is greatly improved. You must know that cavalry is a treasure, and it can't be damaged because of the competition.

Of course, in order to test the cavalry's basic skills in horse warfare, Marin did not use fixed straw men. Instead, a ball of grass hangs from a stake. Under the traction of the rope, the grass balls that are blown by the wind will also sway from side to side, making it difficult to aim and stab.

In this way, the cavalry used spears in high-speed charges, and the grass balls that may not be able to accurately shake the bayonet left and right greatly increased the difficulty of the assessment.

Moreover, hanging a straw ball with a straw rope on a wooden stake is much less troublesome than tying a complete straw man, which saves time and cost......

In this way, in his spare time during the war, Marin supervised the military training of the 10,000 militiamen, and at the same time enjoyed the team competition of the veterans, and it was very enjoyable......

And the soldiers, in the team competition, have consolidated their military skills, and even improved their ......
