The Rise of the European Emperor

After calculating the Swiss, Marin still felt restless. He is just idle. As the boss, Marin most despises the idleness of his employees...

Yes, the boss is a very dark-hearted animal. They can allow themselves to be idle and bored, and have nothing to tease Xiaomi. However, they never want to see their subordinates also bored, chatting and spanking there. Even if the unit has no orders, the boss hopes to see the employees wind up and busy there...

In a previous life, Marin was a victim of such a boss mentality. Even if it's okay, I don't dare to take time off, and I have to pretend to be busy.

But in this life, after becoming a prince, Marin's identity has changed, and his position has also changed...

For example, he could allow himself to drink tea leisurely and be lazy, but seeing that the 40,000 men under the siege were also very leisurely, Marin was not happy...

So, Marin plans to have some fun for his subordinates... Of course, it's what Marin thinks...

The next day, the army was informed that the whole army was divided into two parts, each part of 20,000 people. Between the two parts, one part is responsible for monitoring the Danish army in the city. The other part is busy with daily training. And... the big contest...

There were only 10,000 Danish troops in the city, and Marin sent 20,000 people to monitor them, which was enough. And all the troops who have no surveillance tasks for the time being have been pulled to a certain distance from Copenhagen for training.

As for the 10,000 militiamen, because of their lack of combat literacy, they must be put there for intensive training. Therefore, the 10,000 militiamen must be kept training in camps far away from Copenhagen. The other 30,000 people were divided into three parts, and 20,000 people were kept in Copenhagen each time to guard against the Danish army.

And those who are far away from Copenhagen take the time to conduct military training. Not only the 10,000 militiamen, but even the veterans, must keep training to avoid a decline in the military level.

In the East Frisian Army, veterans were not allowed to sit idle. Although there is no intensive training every day like recruit training, but every now and then, they still keep training. For example, if you run 5 kilometers a day, no matter whether you are a veteran or a recruit, you can't run away.

It is precisely because of the long-term training that the military level of the veterans in East Friesland does not decline, but rather increases.

Only the musketeers and artillery units, at present because of the lack of gunpowder, are not kept in regular training. However, Marin is not stingy when it comes to training, especially the early training. All in all, the musketeers under Marin had practiced live ammunition many times before going to the battlefield. Unlike the later musketeers during the war, many people never fired a few shots before going to the battlefield.

On the battlefield, they are basically cannon fodder.

The reason why Marin desperately sought the Americas did not hesitate to lead Spain to India and torn against Portugal. The purpose is to monopolize Chile in South America and obtain an adequate supply of saltpeter.

As long as Chile's saltpeter is developed, Marin's musketeers and artillerymen will be able to practice fire without limit. When you actually go to the battlefield, the difference between excellent artillerymen and musketeers is huge.

For example, in the previous battle, the operational level of the Saxon artillery was far inferior to that of the East Frisian artillery. As a result, the opponent's artillery positions had not been laid out before they were blasted away by Marin's artillery. This is mainly because Marin's artillerymen usually practice artillery a lot. Moreover, the artillery also has "advanced" aiming tools such as Wangshan.

...

Under Marin's direction, 10,000 militiamen were there desperately for basic training. In addition to training, the 10,000 veterans who have been rotated will also have a big competition to practice the usual training results...

For those veterans, the Grand Tournament is a showcase of their usual training results. For Marin, the big competition is equivalent to watching a martial arts movie... Although there is no such wonderful scene as a real martial arts movie, it is quite exciting to watch a group of men fight...

Of course, this is not a ring match, but a group match.

In Marin's view, the army is a whole, and there is no point in showing individual prowess. Showing the strength of the collective is the most important thing.

Therefore, the big competition is divided into three items - the confrontation between the 25-man squads; the confrontation between the 250-man companies; the confrontation between the phalanxes...

Of course, because it was comrades-in-arms, the spearheads had to be removed. Then, the head of the spear is wrapped in rags and dipped in lime powder. The soldiers also put on the "mahjong mat" armor, and the final victory and death and life and death are judged by the lime spots on the soldiers' bodies.

In order to stimulate the warriors' enthusiasm for the competition, Marin announced that as long as they win the team competition, the warriors in the winning team who have wives can get financial rewards. And the warriors without wives can choose the Danish girls first in the wives-robbing operation after the war...

After this incentive was released, those veterans with wives were fine, and those without wives were all screaming with excitement, like a werewolf transformed on a full moon night...

But there are also many problems in the big competition. For example, the pikemen in the infantry are naturally very good, and everyone can stab each other with wooden sticks without spear heads.

However, the competition of the musketeers is a bit difficult. You can't always shoot each other with live ammunition, right? That would kill people. And Marin did not have the infrared-sensing clothing and special firearms for exercises in later generations.

Therefore, the competition of musketeers can only be compared to target shooting. Also, the comparison is the team's total shooting score, not the individual shooting score. In addition, the length of time spent and proficiency of the shooting team need to be considered.

In addition to the problems with the musketeer's competition, the cavalry's competition is really difficult.

Because cavalry is fighting, it is easy to cause casualties. High-speed charging cavalry collided, and accidents such as fractures, falls, and even death were easy to occur.

In desperation, Marin had to adjust the way of cavalry competition. Instead of competing with each other, they will charge together as a team to assassinate the grassmen...

While the intense and exciting is lost, the security is greatly improved. You must know that cavalry are all treasures, and they can't be injured because of martial arts.

Of course, in order to test the cavalry's basic horse fighting skills, Marin did not use a fixed straw man. Instead, there is a grass ball hanging from a stake. Under the traction of the rope, the grass ball blown by the wind will sway from side to side, making it difficult to aim and stab.

In this way, the cavalry used a long spear in a high-speed charge, and may not be able to accurately swing the grass ball with the bayonet, which greatly increased the difficulty of the assessment.

Moreover, hanging a grass ball on a wooden stake with a grass rope is much easier than tying a complete grass figurine, saving time and cost...

In this way, in the spare time of the war, while supervising the military training of the 10,000 militiamen, Marin also admired the team competition of the veterans, and it was very enjoyable to watch...

And the soldiers, in the team competition, consolidated their military skills, and even improved...
