Chapter 397: Sigmund I visit

On the training ground, Marin couldn't help laughing as he watched a group of soldiers wearing wooden "motorcycle helmets" wearing double mahjong mats in fierce group fights.

Fortunately, Europeans in this era did not know the stalk "Mahjong Mat" or even what Mahjong was. Otherwise, they will laugh.

Because of the black paint, there is no need to wear a black blouse outside the mahjong mat. The head of the wooden stick covered with lime powder can be poked directly on the mahjong mat, or the score can be counted.

According to the habit of the "Group Fight Training Law", a company of 250 people is used to fight each other. However, Marin felt that this was too monotonous. Therefore, he also added a group of 10 to fight each other, and a group of three to fight each other.

In particular, the three-person battering team received special attention from Marin. Because, whether it is the special forces of later generations, or Qi Jiguang's Yuanyang array, the three-person team is a standard combination.

Moreover, the cooperation of the three-person team can also make the soldiers gain a local advantage at a certain point. When the soldiers are used to cooperating with the fellow robes around them, they can explode far beyond ordinary battle formations.

As a result, two groups of three-person team and 250-person group fighting mode became the most classic tactics in the Marin army.

After summarizing a set of training methods, Marin ordered that the training method be written as a training program and sent to the 10,000 troops of the Principality of Schleswig and the garrison battalion in the Munster area to promote this in the entire army Training method.

In fact, until the Russo-Turkish War in the 1860s, the European Army's duel was still dominated by bayonets. As for why? Because the loading speed of the front loading gun is too slow, the firing rate of the musket is not fast. If the melee between the two armies begins, the musketeer ’s shooting ability is useless.

At that time, everyone was close to each other, the most direct way is to fight bayonet instead of shooting. Because, in the case of dogfights, after the bullets in the barrel are expelled, you cannot have tens of seconds to reload the ammunition. If you don't want to be stabbed to death by the enemy while taking the chance to reload, raise your bayonet and fight with the enemy ...

Therefore, in the pre-loading era, there is a famous tactic from the British lobster soldiers-that is, when the enemy's volley gun is reached, within a distance of twenty or thirty meters from the enemy, a round of salvo Musketeers in the front row lay down. Then, taking advantage of the timing of the chaotic replacement of the enemy, he launched a charge and decided the victory with the bayonet.

At that time, the hit rate of the smoothbore gun was too touching. If you aim at a distance of 100 meters, you can theoretically aim and shoot, but the true hit rate can be half as a sharpshooter. Only at a distance of 20-30 meters, aiming at the gun, the hit rate has a practically high hit rate.

It was normal to shoot a volleyball gun at such a short distance and knock down the soldiers in the front row of the enemy. At this time, when the enemy saw the front-row soldiers shot to the ground one after another, they would surely panic and morale would drop.

At this time, the lobster soldiers took the opportunity to charge again, but the distance of 20 to 30 meters soon arrived. If you are too busy loading ammunition for a three-stroke blow, you are looking for abuse. When you haven't loaded the ammunition yet, the bayonet will pierce you ...

So, some time before the outbreak of the war, this tactic wants to be a bull and it is easy to win. However, the emergence of the emperor led to the emergence of even more "artillery artillery". Under the bombardment of the volleyball, bayonet tactics became dead. After all, platoons, especially those with shotguns, are too powerful for the line infantry.

Marin has been hesitating whether to take out the shotgun. However, I haven't dared. Why? I'm afraid the French will learn ...

France is a big country of artillery, with a large number of artillery equipment. The shotgun technology content is too low, it is easy to be learned. Therefore, if Marin dared to take out the shotgun in advance, it would definitely let France fly.

In the face of the rain of French troops pulling out hundreds of artillery cannons, any infantry lineup must be beaten into dogs. Therefore, instead of taking out the shotgun as a big killer, Malining only used the Spanish phalanx to maintain the military's tactical advantage.

If a shotgun appears, the casualties are a little bit bigger. By that time, an army of 10,000 or 20,000 will not be enough to kill or wound. Moreover, Marin himself is also a person on the battlefield. If the other party makes a shotgun, he may be sent to heaven by stray bullets ...

Therefore, Marin feels that using the Spanish phalanx, using modern training methods, and now there is a very close combat training method like the "group training method", Marin feels that as long as the training is in place, Thorn, his own "Mahjong Corps" may not be worse than the veterans of Swiss mercenaries ...

When the time comes, Marin will take the Mahjong Corps wearing a double "Mahjong Mat", sweep across the German countries, poke down all the enemies that are in front of it ... This feeling, don't be too cool ... just ... "Mahjong Corps" "This title seems a bit indecent ...

When the soldiers who were supervising the "Mahjong Corps" trained to use the "spear" for mutual stabbing training, their men suddenly came to report-the brothers of the Grand Duke of Lithuania and King Alexander of Poland, Prince Siegmont came ...

(Prince Sigmund, also known as Prince Sigmund. Of course, this is the difference in translation.)

It turned out that Prince Siegmont was 38 years old. When the wife of his elder brother Alexander returned to Moscow, and Prince Alexander did not divorce or marry a new wife, Prince Siegmont was likely to be elected as the new King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania.

Therefore, Prince Siegmont felt that he should come out to visit and increase his knowledge. At the same time, he also plans to choose his wife by the way ...

Not surprisingly, Prince Siegmont did not know why, but he had never been married, 38 people, and no wife. The problem is that ordinary people do n’t have a wife because they are poor. He is a prince. He may inherit the position of Polish king and Lithuanian prince in the future. It is impossible to find his wife ... So, the only possibility is that he is too picky. Or, for the time being, no suitable princess was encountered ...

After all, the thoughts of the door-to-door households in this era are very serious, the princess basically does not have the situation of marrying, and the prince will not marry Cinderella. Unless, the prince wants to give up inheritance ...

Historically, there have been princes who lost their inheritance rights because they went to a civilian girl. The most famous one was King Edward VIII who had to abdicate in order to marry the divorced Mrs. Simpson, a civilian and divorced. In addition, Queen Victoria ’s cousin Prince George, the seventh generation of the Duke of Cambridge, fell in love with and married a civilian girl named Sarah. As a result, future generations lost the inheritance of the Duke of Cambridge.

Prince Siegmont as a prince who may become the king of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Marriage is more cautious. In order to succeed to the throne and make his descendants continue to be kings, he must marry a large noblewoman. At least, it must also be a princess of Bo Kingdom.

There are more than 300 princely states in Germany, and there are also many princesses. Therefore, Prince Sigmund came to Germany "inspection" in a fart, not only to increase his knowledge, but also to investigate his wife ...

In addition, because Marin and Prince Ziegmont were also friends and allies, Prince Ziegmont first ran to East Friesland to see Marin coming ...

And Marin suddenly remembered something-Prince Siegmont seemed to be the crown prince of Poland and Lithuania. Although he did not become the crown prince according to the law, after the death of Prince Alexander, this guy did not run as a king. Moreover, Marin read history and knew that Alexander the Great would hang up in these two years. Therefore, this product is the standard crown prince ...

As it happens, Marin is seeking to let the Spanish princess, Catherine of Aragon, dissolve her marriage to Henry VIII. At that time, Spain re-selected the husband of Princess Catherine, but can recommend Prince Siegmont to Ferdinand II.

Although, Prince Siegmont was a little older, 38 years old, but Princess Catherine was not a big girl, she had been added once, and her husband died. It seems that these two are quite suitable ...

Moreover, when Catherine of Aragon married Prince Sigmund, Marin did not have to worry about the alliance between Spain and Denmark ...
