King of German Mercenaries

In fact, Marin quite understands that even the help of the Pope is only an external force. If you don't live up to your expectations, the Pope's help is useless. Therefore, maintaining a strong military force is Marin's real reliance.

For this reason, when Marin's standing army of tens of thousands was questioned, he would be dishonest and retain the main force by forming a company.

Even if Pope Julius II came to power in the future, if he wanted to benefit himself, he had to send his own army to get it. After all, the Pope is only the spiritual leader of the whole of Europe, not the actual ruler. All he can give is authorization. Whether he can get the benefits in the end depends on Marin's own strength.

Thinking of this, Marin was moved, and he took the bodyguard Kahn and others to inspect several important military camps. It turned out that the soldiers seemed to be idle at ordinary times.

Fortunately, Marin made a simple football before, which made the soldiers very fond of football. Not playing in person, but watching and cheering on the sidelines.

However, the barracks space is also limited, and the area required for football is very large. Only a football field can accommodate more than 20 people, which makes the big soldiers very unhappy. They are not ordinary people, they enjoy watching the ball and prefer to play shirtless.

Then the soldiers seemed to have no other fun than football. After all, Marin forbade gambling in the barracks. In addition, soldiers were also prohibited from visiting prostitutes outside the camp, mainly for fear of contracting syphilis. There are some prostitutes captured by former noble families in the camp, but the number is too small to share...

So, after turning around, Marin came to a conclusion that the soldiers usually lacked the spiritual life...

This is not a good phenomenon, because the military discipline is usually very strict, and Marin knows very well that the nerves of the soldiers must be tense and the pressure must be great. It can be said that they must have accumulated a lot of negative emotions at ordinary times. If you don’t release these negative emotions, it will hold back bad people, even make people depressed, and in serious cases, mental disorders will occur.

Therefore, Marin knew that he should add some spiritual food to these soldiers...

But how to increase the spiritual food for the soldiers and keep their morale high and give up on themselves? The question is simple for Marin.

He knew that the military art troupe of later generations was born for this, and it was very important. Soldiers were confined to the barracks all day long and could not go out freely. But they are also human beings who need entertainment and relaxation so they don't get tense all day long.

Therefore, it is a very good idea to form a military art troupe. The military art troupe and the local performance organization are completely different. Although the art troupe goes to the barracks to perform and entertain the soldiers. However, at the same time, each of their performances is also a carefully selected program with positive energy. Under the bombardment of these programs full of positive energy, the three views of the soldiers will not be distorted. Although there is suspicion of brainwashing, the effect is very good.

Even Marin himself has seen many excellent military works on TV in his last life. However, this didn't work. Because the works that Marin remembers are full of oriental and revolutionary features, and obviously cannot be copied to this era. Otherwise, Marin will encourage the soldiers to sacrifice their lives?

As one of the great nobles, although Marin hopes to build spiritual civilization for the army, he must also control it. For example, after the formation of a cultural troupe, the performances must be beneficial to oneself. For example, to promote loyalty and filial piety or something. Also, it is best to let the soldiers be grateful to themselves, and their support is high. Only in this way, when the next war breaks out, these guys will fight hard for themselves.

As a result, Marin remembered the legendary "model drama". Although from the eyes of a young man in a new century, those boilerplate plays are ridiculous and old-fashioned. However, this era is the beginning of the 16th century. No matter how old-fashioned drama, people in the Middle Ages never saw it. Even Shakespeare, the most brilliant playwright of the Renaissance,

It will not be born until 1564.

Therefore, no matter what kind of drama, even a model drama with brainwashing effect, it can make people in the late Middle Ages who are seriously lacking in spiritual culture watch it with relish.

You must know that even in the 21st century, Marin's grandfather in his previous life still kept a box of CDs of model plays such as "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", "Red Lantern", "Shajiabang", etc. I played it on an old VCD, and often hummed along with it. Similarly, many elderly people still have a fresh memory of these model plays and can hum the last paragraph.

So much so that a young man in the new century, Marin, can hum a few paragraphs. No way, I was bombarded by Grandpa's TV all day long, and inevitably I also wrote down a few paragraphs.

Of course, that doesn't help. Because many of the model operas are Peking operas, which do not work in Europe. Moreover, it is full of hatred of nobles and landlords. Even if Marin remembered it, he couldn't use it.

Therefore, Marin wants to do a model show, but it is a model show that vigorously promotes himself and the aristocracy...

In addition, you can also get some other dramas to enrich the spiritual life of soldiers and people. Marin knew something about Shakespeare's plays. Because, when he was in college, he also joined the Drama Society, and even played Romeo in "Romeo and Juliet" himself. Of course, Juliet is a dinosaur...and the love tragedy turned into a hilarious comedy for Marin and the dinosaur girl...

Even so, Marin recorded lines for these plays by starring in "Romeo and Juliet," "Hamlet," and more. Although the lines are in Chinese, it is not difficult to translate into German and English.

Of course, what Marin hopes most is to create a model play to correct his name and show that his throne is legitimate and reasonable.

In the end, Marin decided to combine "Hamlet" and China's famous "The Orphan of Zhao", and use the plot of the Orphan of Zhao and the lines of "Hamlet" to write a new play - "The Return of the King"...

The so-called king, of course, refers to Marin himself. The so-called "orphans of the Zhao family" mainly refer to Mrs. Mary, who was chased and killed, that is, Marin's mother.

Of course, in order to show the legitimacy of Marin's replacement of Adler, Marin also mixed some deified plots. For example, the plot of getting the blessing of the gods in the haystack. And the plot where the gods sent "Einstein" to guide him...

In short, the central idea of ​​this "The Return of the King" is that the usurper has no good end. At the same time, Marin is the favored one, the legitimate heir...

Marin spent a lot of time, using "Hamlet" as a blueprint, plus some plots of "The Orphan of Zhao", and began to compile this "The Return of the King" with heart.

In "The Return of the King", in the scene in which Mrs. Mary's father Fred escaped with his daughter Mary, Marin tried his best to exaggerate it, and with tense music, the plot was designed to be very moving. Then, the old Hoffman appeared in the attitude of "Shen Soldier", beat off the assassin and rescued Mrs. Mary.

In this plot, Marin not only joined the fight, but also introduced some wonderful actions from the Xiangjiang martial arts film. Although it is not practical, it is very enjoyable to watch.

After that, Marin repeatedly emphasized in the play that there is a long way to go to restore the country, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it. The gods bless the blood of the Bullock family, but between Adler and Marin, there is hesitation.

In the end, the goddess of wisdom persuaded the main god and sent her subordinate "Einstein" to "enlighten" Marin, which made Marin suddenly possess incomparable wisdom, and led the army to return to East Frisian , took back the crown...

After several days of hard work, this classic comedy "The Return of the King", which combines Eastern and Western cultures, added mythological elements, and added a martial arts plot, was released.

So, Marin immediately looked for suitable theatrical actors to perform. He found, however, that there were no suitable theatre actors to be found in East Frisian counties. Because the country of East Friesland is too "remote", it has not been shrouded in the light of the Renaissance, plus the remoteness and poverty, it is difficult to find qualified theater actors here. Moreover, the artistic cells of the Germans are indeed not very good.

So, Angela, who had returned from Texel Island, suggested that Marin go to Italy to find him. Because Renaissance Italy is the most prosperous, there are many artists and great drama actors. As for the language issue, it's not a problem either. As long as the lines are translated here and the actors are taught the correct pronunciation, they will perform well.

Marin had no choice but to accept it. However, the matter of forming a military art troupe was immediately brought up. To this end, Marin ordered to find some young men and women who usually love to express themselves in ordinary families across the country, preferably handsome men and beauties. Then, organize them. After the Italian theatre actors are in place, learn to act with them. After learning, they can be sent to various military camps to perform.

At the same time, because "The Return of the King" was used by Marin to brag about his legitimacy and legitimacy, it would not only be performed in the military. It is also necessary to perform in the face of the public.

As a result, Marin began to order the construction of theaters in five cities to facilitate performances. In this way, "The Return of the King", a drama full of "positive energy", can be watched by the public. And his Marin's legitimacy can also be widely accepted through wonderful drama.

Even, in the future, this drama can be promoted to other countries, showing its legitimacy and promoting its name as "God's Blessed One"...

The theater certainly can not only perform one play, in addition, Marin also brought out three classics of "Othello", "King Lear" and "The Merchant of Venice". Also wanted to pirate "Macbeth" but found out that it is a drama that satirizes the king and queen. As the king of a country, Marin naturally dislikes this type of drama. Therefore, "Macbeth" is not taken out.

Four classic plays, staged in turn, are enough for the theater to support it. When he has time, he will get some classics of later generations, adapt them, find a few writers to write the lines, and they can also be used for performances. In this way, whether it is an army officer or a civilian, the spiritual culture is greatly enriched. At the same time, these dramas can also help themselves to publicize, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Moreover, Marin is also preparing to repeatedly emphasize in the script that the people of East Frisian counties live in paradise and are extremely happy. At least, they are much happier than people in other countries. In this way, when the drama spreads, it can also attract people from other countries to immigrate. Marin suddenly found that he seemed to be copying the practices of the US imperialists...
