Chapter 914: Cossack is here

At this time, Marin also realized that Marin had been building regularization and mercenaries for more than a decade. He had been in contact with regular North Sea mercenaries for a long time, making him almost forget the virtue of ordinary German mercenaries.

What to say, the ordinary German mercenaries are almost a group of armed migrants. These guys who dared desperately, after leaving their hometown, followed the mercenary regiment to accept different employers.

These people lived licking the blood on the edge of the knife and could not wait. Therefore, many mercenary behavior is very indulgent. They love drinking, because drinking can only numb themselves. Also love to recruit women, because the young and strong they are full of energy, nowhere to vent.

Therefore, because of the needs of these mercenaries, many wine merchants and women supporters chose to follow the rich mercenaries and earn commissions from the mercenaries ’lives.

Of course, there are some family-loving mercenaries who choose to take their wives and children with them and follow the large mercenary forces. Others took their parents with them to follow the army.

The families of these mercenaries are not in vain. Usually, the families of these mercenaries will also be responsible for cooking for the mercenaries, helping them sew up their clothes, and solving the worries of the mercenaries.

Only when the war begins, the mercenaries will be temporarily separated from the family members, merchants, and women of the regiment. After playing, they will mix together again.

Even some lords like this kind of mercenary group with their families to help themselves defend the city. Why? Because of their families, these mercenaries will not surrender casually. This is because the army of this era has the habit of slaughtering the city. If the city is broken, those mercenary family members will not escape. Therefore, it will make those mercenaries work harder when defending the city.

Therefore, Schwartz's proposal is still very reliable. Only, there is a problem ...

"Schwartz, what you said about letting immigrant young people pretend to be mercenaries is indeed a good idea. However, the general situation can't pretend to be mercenary at all. You know, many serfs are afraid of seeing those officers and men. In front of the guards and soldiers, they will reveal ... "

Schwartz thought about it and said:

"It's a problem ... However, we can give them emergency military training for a few days before the team leaves. Don't train any combat skills, just train the queue. In addition, train them not to look around. As long as you don't keep guard Guan's officers and men made eye contact, and those people were not so easily exposed! "

"Moreover, we can train the queue while on the road. As long as the queue goes well, it looks like a regular army!"

When Marin thought about it, it was really like this kind of army that looked good in the queue and really fought and coerced the war. Anyway, you do n’t need the army of the princes who have just guarded their fronts, you just have to do things like that, there should be no problem.

However, in order to pretend to be more similar, Marin decided to send some veterans to serve as instructors for these immigrant youths. There are veterans standing in front, which looks more like a regular mercenary team.

At this time, Kohler raised another question:

"By the way, if there are too many mercenary teams coming north, no matter how stupid others are, they can guess that they are coming to Beihai. Once guessed, they will continue to stop. How can we solve this problem? "

Marin and Schwartz suddenly startled ...

Yeah, if a few mercenary regiments head north, no one will doubt anything. However, Marin wants to immigrate for a long time, and the number must be huge. If a "mercenary regiment" rushes to the direction of the Beihai Kingdom every day, it is difficult for others to wonder.

After Marin thought for a long time, he said:

"Well, let's turn Germany into several regions and solve them in different regions. Those in the north-central part of Germany near Beihai will directly transform themselves into mercenary regiments and enter Beihai."

"As for the eastern and southeastern regions, you can first go east and enter Poland. The Polish king is my brother-in-law. When I enter Poland, I will definitely go all the way, and then arrive at the Baltic sea and ship back to the North Sea ..."

"As for immigrants in southwestern Germany ... divided into two roads, those close to the Rhine, try to take the waterway. Those who do not rely on the Rhine, ask Austria to ask them to open a certificate to prove that the Austrian mainland went to the Netherlands. Delan, the Beihai Kingdom is on the edge ... "

Kohler nodded again and again:

"This is a good idea. In this way, only those who need to enter the North Sea country directly are immigrants from the central and northern regions. Immigrants from the southeast and southwest can borrow from Poland and the Habsburg family territory, or take the Rhine. In this way, those princes are more difficult to intercept. "

Schwartz added:

"If you are afraid that those princes are afraid of passing too many people, you can also divide the people who pretend to be mercenaries into two parts-one part continues to pretend to be mercenaries and accompany their families; the other part, continue to walk the path ..."

Kohler interjected:

"Are you afraid of being intercepted if you walk the path?"

Schwartz said:

"Not afraid, the two teams marched together and echoed each other. When the team posing as a mercenary group on the bright side passed the level, the officers of the princely states would not dare to divide their troops to intercept the team walking by the path Because, they have to guard against that 'mercenary' team ... "

"It turns out that ..." Kohler suddenly realized.

In this era, the difference between mercenaries and robbers is not very big. Therefore, when mercenaries cross the border, those princes are reluctant to provoke easily, but they are certainly full of vigilance. Therefore, their army must definitely guard against "mercenaries" crossing the border. As for the wanderers in the forest roads, it is not so important. When the team on the bright side passed, those who walked the path almost left. At this time, even if the military forces of the princely states went to check, they could not find the troop that walked the path ... So, the "mercenary regiment" on the bright side helped cover, and the troop that walked the path could also avoid the interception of the military forces ...

...

After discussing these details, Marin arranged for Kohler to arrange the matter. Kohler has been in charge of the intelligence organization "North Sea Chamber of Commerce" for many years, and has been very skilled in these private jobs without making any mistakes.

However, Marin wrote a note to let Kohler go to Sauer and seconded a number of scouts. After all, when it comes to the ability to walk in the wild and avoid enemy officers and men, those scouts are professional. With those scouts leading the way, the team that walks the path will be smoother.

...

After busy with these things, Marin just wanted to take a break, but the guards came to report:

"Duke, the Crimean representative came and said that he brought you 2,000 Cossacks!"

"What? Are they ready so soon?" Marin was taken aback. You know, when he placed the order, it was November. It must be a month for Jama Khan to return from Beihai. It is now only February, and the team sent by the Crimean Khanate to the Cossack family will have to hurry for a month. That is, the time it took them to catch 2000 Cossacks was very short ...
