Chapter 604: Recruit another 10,000 people
phone-reading
Of course, those are just the plans that Marin has in mind, and the future will be met. But Marin dare and Louis XII to **** England, will inevitably offend France. Therefore, Marin must be prepared to attack the French army.
In addition to fighting against France, Marin must also guard against the German princes and France to send troops together. In that case, Marin will be enemies.
Therefore, Marin intends-from now on, to build a large number of fortifications using cement in his controlled area and the border areas of other princes. Once fighting with France, you need to use those fortifications to resist the attacks from the princes.
In order to ensure that the two-line operations will not fail, Marin not only needs to trim a lot of fortifications, but also needs enough troops to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
According to estimates, if the French attack, there must be no less than 50,000 troops, and maybe even more. Because, less may be defeated.
On the other hand, it is estimated that tens of thousands of troops can also be gathered from the German princes-there are still many German princes who are eye-catching with France. Otherwise, when Charles V was running for election, Francois I will not be 'S main competitor.
As a result, Marin may face hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. Moreover, these hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, musketeers will certainly not be less. Because, since Marin defeated the powerful Bossa Allied Forces, many German princes have already promoted the use of matchlock guns in various armies. One family or two may be small in size, but the strength of the princes gathered together, that is impressive.
To fight such a powerful enemy, Marin needs at least 50,000 or 60,000 troops to fight in two parts ...
In addition, in order to control England, it is estimated that two or three thousand or thirty thousand troops will be needed, otherwise, the monkeys in England will not be controlled ...
With such a calculation, Marin was taken aback—want to win the war with the French and firmly control England, it was estimated that it would require nearly a hundred thousand troops ...
"My God, with so many armies, the daily military food consumption is an astronomical figure, not to mention the overall military expenditure! The more money you earn, the more you find that there are more and more places to spend money!"
Originally, Marin planned to deploy the main force of the local army to participate in the English Civil War. But now Marin has changed his mind-he is ready to recruit another 10,000 troops in England ...
Who is sent to recruit? Marin has long thought about the candidate-the former general of the West Frisian noble republic Siwag ...
After all the eight nobles of the former West Frisian were killed, Siwag survived and hid. When the Marin class returned to the North and seized West Friesland, Siwag ran out and took the initiative to surrender to Marin.
Marin knew Siwag, and had also treated (captured) Siwag for a long time. After Siwag died of all eight masters, he no longer had to rely on it, and simply turned to Marin.
Exactly, Marin needs to settle the situation in West Friesland, and it is best to send a prestigious person like West Friesland to appease the locality.
Over the past few months, Sivag has worked diligently to help Marin complete the control and comfort of West Frisian.
Today, Marin needs to recruit another 10,000 troops in England, and naturally needs a large number of Frisians to control that army. After all, the Frisians are their own people, and the English are not. They have no sense of belonging to themselves, and it is easy for them to lead themselves.
Originally, the most suitable recruiting candidate was Saqqara who had achieved great success in England. However, Marin was not relieved to let Saqqara master too many troops. Let Saqqara control a tens of thousands of people in an army, which is the limit that Marin can tolerate. What if Saqqara had control of 20,000 troops and wanted to be independent in England?
Therefore, Marin's principle is that the senior military commander's power should not be too heavy. Otherwise, the Lord feels uneasy ...
Even Schwarz, the most trusted by Marin, did not let him contact the army, but kept him in Aurich. Usually, the 40,000 troops are led by their respective regiment leaders. The four army commanders have different origins. Moreover, they are not closely related to each other. At ordinary times, without Marin's order, Schwartz could not mobilize them. Only when the war started, Schwartz as the deputy commander, had the overall command.
Siwag was a veteran general, plus he was a Frisian, and he spoke Frisian and English. It is very appropriate to let it command a new English legion.
Moreover, Siwag itself has many old departments in West Friesland. He can take this old group with him and take over the 10,000 English recruits together.
As for the question of whether Sivag would betrayed, Marin was not worried. Because, even if he wants to betray, he can't make waves. After all, he only has 10,000 recruits, while Marin has 40,000 veterans ...
Of course, because he was worried that Sivag would not be able to train recruits, Marin decided to let Sakala send a group of officers to help Sivag train the 10,000 English recruits. At the same time, Siwag and his men also need to learn Saqqara's new training methods and tactics. After the training is completed, the instructors supported by Saqqara will return to the headquarters, and the people of Sivag will take over the army.
This time when he sent troops to England, Marin planned to send only the Sakala legion and the first legion. Coupled with the new 10,000 English mercenaries trained by Siwag, and more than 10,000 people by Edward, it is absolutely enough to beat Henry VII into a **** ...
The old elite troops of the First Legion were sent out because they were afraid that the Sakala ’s legion and the Sivag ’s legion would have insufficient combat experience. With the First Legion under pressure, Henry VII couldn't turn over.
As for Siwag ’s recruits, they can completely let them play while practicing to improve their combat experience.
Right now, except for Newcastle, a Marin-controlled area in northern England, the order is good ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ All other areas are shrouded in starvation, and thousands of people have been starved to death. In addition, most of the refugees have gone south and are now scouring several central counties.
Several counties in central England became miserable because of the influx of refugees and other people grabbing food. Many people in several central counties were also forced to become hungry people ... Many hungry people joined the thieves in order to survive to grab food for food. Those who have been robbed of food will either starve to death, flee the famine, or be robbers ...
Today, Marin can easily recruit tens of thousands of troops in several counties in central England as long as they send ships to pull some food in the past. And, the one you choose ...
In this regard, Marin has secretly sent people to contact Coster and Maric, who served as the deputy chief of the "Robin Han Thieves" in Nottinghamshire, and let them send people to contact and notify the refugee groups and let them go to Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. The banks of the Humber River at the border go to accept selections and receive food.
The two of them were well informed in the middle of England. Otherwise, Marin hastily sent people, not necessarily how many people know the news of the recruitment ... After all, in order not to alert Henry VII, this recruitment needs to be carried out in secret, and it should not be a big fan ...
After the recruitment is complete, these 10,000 recruits will be directly involved in the activities and training in Yorkshire on the north bank of the Humber River. Then, after Marin's First Army and Sakala Army arrived in England, they returned to the team to fight together ...
There is chaos in northern and central England, and thieves are everywhere. The 10,000 recruits of Sivag can completely train while destroying the thieves that are not part of Marin's secret support, and they can also practice their hands. At the same time, a wave of prestige among local residents ...
