Chapter 177: Tomu
The population of this era is very small, like the German region, which adds up to a total of 12 million (including Austria, Czech Republic, etc.). In the post-German region, there are only about 9 million people.
There are so many states in the German region, like the general state of Bo, with a population of only tens of thousands. If the population is more than 100,000, even a princely state can be. With a population of two to three hundred thousand, it is definitely a power among the princes. Over one million, properly dominated level ...
Although it is said that many manors in the German area are now overpopulated. However, even if Marin immigrated the surplus population of the German region, it would not exceed 2 million. Moreover, that is also impossible. Marin wanted to do this, and other princes might not agree.
Even if all these 2 million people were immigrated and thrown into the North American continent, I am afraid that even a single wave would not be able to turn up. Because, North America is too big ...
If you have large-scale agricultural machinery, it is no problem for a family to cultivate thousands of hectares of land. But the problem is, there is no agricultural machinery now. A family of five can cultivate more than 100 acres of land, which is about 20 acres.
Only the sheep can fully utilize the land. At the same time, it can provide a lot of meat and wool, as well as parchment parchment ...
And shepherding does not require full employment. Using shepherd dogs is the only way to save trouble. After all, as long as the dogs are well trained, they are more responsible than others. At least, in driving the flock, because it runs faster, it is more powerful than people.
Moreover, the growth cycle of the shepherd dog is very short. For example, De Mu, after being born, can start training at three months old, and within one year can start working to herd sheep.
If it is a human being, it will take more than ten years before it has the ability to shepherd sheep, but it is not as good as German shepherds. Therefore, using a shepherd dog pays off quickly and costs less.
In the previous life, Marin had raised a very smart big wolf dog (German Shepherd), which was brought back from the city by his uncle. Although the variety may not be pure, it is also very smart. The most important thing is that when Demu grew up, he was very powerful. A bolt hit the front door, basically no one dares to approach.
Although, from the perspective of shepherds alone, German shepherds may be smarter than border collies. However, the advantages of Demu Mu are completely incomparable. The most important point is that German animal husbandry can be a military dog or a police dog, while Bianmu is too small to adapt to such work.
Therefore, Marin decided to send people to all parts of the German region to find the predecessor breeds of German shepherds, and then cultivate them to obtain an excellent shepherd and military dog.
Needless to say, shepherd dogs can help farmers shepherd sheep. Moreover, the tall German animal husbandry, because of bravery, can also become the guard dog of the family. The robber thief was also afraid of seeing a large dog like De Mu. The short side shepherds have no deterrent effect and can only work hard to flock the sheep.
As for military dogs, because of Marin's leading role, it can be expected that European countries will pay more and more attention to night raids in the future. Because of the night raids, Marin has repeatedly succeeded. European countries are used to imitating each other. Therefore, Marin can be sure that there will be more and more night raids in the future.
It's as if the Saxon army attacked Leeuwarden this time, just taking advantage of the night to open the city gate and suddenly attack the city. Not only that, they also learned the method of Marin bombing the gate.
Therefore, in the future uh war, Marin also needs to guard against the enemy using night raids to deal with himself ...
In order to guard against the enemy's night raids, in addition to planning to set up a dark whistle, Marin planned to arrange a military dog vigil. Military dogs have strong hearing and alertness. If the enemy dares to touch it quietly, it is easy to be heard by the military dog. As long as the military dog barks and issues an early warning, the enemy's night raid will be exposed. At this point, the sentry cannot compare with the military dog.
At night, the sentry can only see what is covered by the light. Since enemies are attacking at night, they will definitely hide in the dark and will not be easily discovered by you. But if there is a military dog, no matter where you are hiding, as long as you move, it will definitely make a sound. As long as it is heard by the military dog, an early warning will be issued in time.
In addition, military dogs have the function of clearing up local scouts. The soldiers took the military dogs out and walked around the barracks. In some remote corners, according to the smell left by people, they could find enemy scouts and attack the enemy's reconnaissance ability.
At this time, only Marin and trusted men have telescopes. Other forces have no such thing. The enemy wants to detect the situation in the Marin Army, and can only send spies to approach the reconnaissance. In this way, as long as the patrol takes the military dog out for a turn, it will be easy to catch the enemy's spies and make the enemy "blind."
As for anti-drug and explosive search capabilities, there is currently no such demand, but there is no need to hurry to train this capability. Of course, under Marin, there is no such trained person now ... However, the ability to guard and track alone is enough to meet the needs of the current stage, there is no need to pursue too much ...
...
In order to find Demu, Marin personally painted, spent the image of Demu in memory on paper, and let his men look around ...
Unexpectedly, the portrait of De Mu that Marin painted was seen by a soldier, and the soldier immediately recognized it:
"Isn't this the Alsatian common in our Alsace?"
Most of Marin's soldiers came from the mountains of Wurttemberg and the Alsace region. And the soldier who recognized the portrait of "De Mu" was the Alsatian.
Marin quickly recruited the soldier and asked him for details ...
It turned out that the Alsatian region, this kind of shepherd dog called "Alsatian wolf dog", is a very common thing. As a soldier born in the Alsace region, naturally seen many times.
Moreover, the manor owners in the Alsace region like to raise this large bulldog for deterring serfs. If any serf is disobedient, he may be bitten by this "Alsatian wolf dog" ...
Coincidentally, this Alsace warrior named Hurd had been bitten by the "Alsatian wolf dog" released by the other party because he had a conflict with the manor's master, and was very impressed. So, after seeing the portrait of De Mu, I immediately recognized it.
"Very good, Hurd, I now entrust you to bring people back to bring me dozens of puppies of this kind of dog. At the same time, hire some people who are good at training this kind of dog to come back. Things are done, I am rewarded! "
I heard that as long as a group of puppies and a few dog trainers come back to get a reward, this soldier named Hurd is also very happy. As a veteran, Hurd naturally knew that his boss was a local tyrant. Marin said that there are rewards ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ will definitely not disappoint. Therefore, Hurd took a team of assistants with great enthusiasm and returned to his hometown, looking for puppies of Alsatian wolfhounds and professionals who are good at dog training ...
Marin is more expecting than Hurd, if the tall and mighty German shepherd is cultivated in his own hands. At that time, it must be very majestic to lead a wolfdog to travel ... Uh, no, I am a prince of a country, and bringing a wolfdog out to scare people has a bad influence. Therefore, take the glorious task of taking the wolf dog out and show it to your son Caesar ...
In his last life, Marin had seen a bear child ride a German horse as a "dog cavalry", which was very funny. Moreover, because the bear child was riding a "wolf dog", he insisted that he was a "wolf cavalry", and almost made Marin laugh ... Marin decided to take advantage of Caesar's young age and light weight to make him feel like being " The feeling of "horse cavalry" ... Unfortunately, Marin didn't have a camera or a mobile phone to take pictures. However, you can let Da Vinci paint and leave that funny moment ...
What Marin didn't expect was that, because of his amused thought, Da Vinci left a famous painting, "Caesar the Great on a Dog" ...
