[1. Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 3,000 Swedish town militias.

Introduction: In history, the ordinary militia units used to maintain law and order in the towns of the Kingdom of Sweden in the Gustav era are equivalent to the armed police of later generations, because they do not need to engage in war obligations, only when the country is invaded, it is possible to be forced to pull up the city to guard their hometown, so their equipment and training level is very low, equipped with weapons only standard guns, the historical Swedish town militia government does not issue expensive muskets, unless the town militia spends their own money to buy.

The so-called standard spear is just a little bit of iron with a gun head and an ordinary wood, and the clothes on the body are also ordinary town citizen clothes, and the hat or shoulder and other parts will be embroidered with the mark indicating the town militia, and they rely more on the strength of the people and the natural fear of the law in the process of law enforcement, and the actual combat effectiveness is the level of an ordinary adult man in good health.

The only thing that stands out is their obsession with defending their hometown, and the Total War system converts this obsession into loyalty to the host, which is quite useful, as long as the host pays a low maintenance cost, they are willing to fight for you, please note that these Swedish town militias are taken from some of the old town militias with rich experience in policing, and their policing experience may be of good help to the host.

The only weapon in their hands is a spear, but the firearms industry in the Kingdom of Sweden is very developed, and many people use muskets, and the Swedish town militia in charge of policing has been exposed to this firearm even if they do not have enough money to buy a musket on their own, and as long as the host gives them a full replacement of muskets, they should quickly learn how to use it, but if they want to shoot in a platoon like the army, they need to be trained by the regular army from scratch. 】

"Okay, now that the territory is bigger, these Swedish town militias are at least somewhat useful......" Hong Tiancheng looked at the selected troops a little speechlessly, the number of 3,000 people may be its only 'numerical advantage', this is obviously the same scum as the Crimean slave soldiers, without systematic military training, fighting can only rely on courage.

[2. Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 500 Swedish dragoons.

Brief introduction: One of the elite troops of the Kingdom of Sweden, they use the most advanced cavalry flintlock pistols of the 17th century, which can be reloaded at a speed comparable to flintlock handguns, of course, on gentle ground, and they can rarely do it on a warhorse for aimed shooting...... Even then, the hit rate is extremely low!

They possess all the military qualities of a good light cavalry, and at the same time can quickly turn into a standard line infantry after dismounting, and fire in a volley, which can greatly increase their hit rate, but the cavalry flintlock pistol is not as effective as the infantry model, and it is best not to let them shoot at the infantry flintlock in front of them if it is not necessary.

The biggest advantage of the dragoons is their superior mobility and firepower output, they can quickly move to any direction of the enemy infantry phalanx, and then harass or simply dismount and line up for accurate firepower strikes, it is not so easy for the infantry to change formations, but if you want the dragoons to play a good role, you must first ensure that they will not be intercepted by the enemy's light cavalry troops.

In addition to the flintlock muskets, the Swedish dragoons were also armed with sabers and standard leather armor, and the thin armor ensured that they were light and unprotected, but in a world of muskets, the lack of protection did not seem to be a problem. 】

"Well, a good cavalry unit, a cut above the mere light cavalry." Hong Tiancheng said with a little relief.

[3. Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 1,000 Ottoman Sultans. 】

[4. Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 1,000 Cossack chieftain guards.]

Introduction: In addition to being known for their courage and belligerence (cultivated by frequent robbery), the Cossack 'Freedom Bandits' organization, which resembles a tribal form of government, is most famous for its 'free' atmosphere that attracts tax evaders.

However, in the end of any political situation, there will be class differentiation and corruption, which is the inevitable trend of human society, at the beginning the chiefs of the Cossack tribes were indeed elected by the people, but with the extension of the system and the increasing authority of the chiefs, everyone who became the chief of the Cossacks tried to make himself sit in this position for a longer time, and gradually formed a community of political interests, and they ostensibly claimed to fight for the interests of all Cossacks, In fact, by various means and implicit changes to the legal polity of the Cossacks, their chieftain was changed to life!

In this way, the Cossack chieftains changed from the very beginning of democracy to internal customization, then from internal customization to life, and finally from lifelong to secular, and for hundreds of years, the original pure and advanced Cossack liberal polity became a decay that was indistinguishable from imperialism without removing the skin, and as a result, the Cossacks were reduced to an insignificant minority in the world after being reduced to thugs and slaves of the Russian Empire.

Obviously, to become the highest-ranking chieftain of the Cossack tribe, he must be the most elite warrior of the Cossack tribe, and in the period when the Cossacks still had a certain degree of independence, unlike the Cossack cavalry, which is generally remembered by later generations, the main weapon used by the Cossacks during the period when the Cossack had the greatest autonomy was muskets, not war horses!

Since the Cossacks were originally composed of serfs who evaded taxes, they did not know how to use weapons such as swords at all, let alone ride horses, so in order to protect themselves, the serfs were the first to adapt to the firearms with extremely fast speed, even if the performance of the muskets in the early stage was very poor, but the speed of getting started was undoubtedly the most suitable weapon for serfs.

Gradually, the musket became an indispensable weapon for the Cossacks, which was enhanced by the Cossacks with the development and power of firearms, and the Cossacks were transformed into cavalry-based mercenaries, which were actually financed by the Russians, who gave the Cossacks a rich nomadic steppe (snatched from the Mongol-Tatar descendants), allowing them to breed war horses in large numbers, thus forming a large-scale cavalry corps to expand the territory of the Russian Empire.

This class was taken from the period when the Cossacks had the highest independence, so the Cossack chieftains' escort was not cavalry, but musket infantry with fierce hand-to-hand combat ability, and they had the best marksmanship of the entire Cossack tribe, not one!

The Cossack chieftains, armed with advanced infantry flintlock pistols and steel knives, were highly motivated, but also required higher salaries to maintain them. 】

"Well, I've finally drawn an elite." Hong Tiancheng glanced at it lightly, and then directly clicked to the last lottery button, and then, his eyes widened in disbelief: "Rare characters?!" ”
