The Rise of the European Emperor

This time, Marin still set his sights on the mountain people in the mountains and forests of southern Germany. Because of poverty, these mountain people live far less than those serfs in the plains.

Serfs in the plains have a manor to work on. Although the food is poor, it is not without food. The mountain people are different, because the mountain area is not suitable for farming, and the mountain people can only rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. Most of them go into the mountains to pick wild fruits and mushrooms. As for hunting, it is not impossible, but most of the prey hunted must be handed over to the noble master, and there are very few that he can keep. Therefore, the mountain people's life is very difficult.

Of course, the land of poor mountains and bad waters also makes the character of the mountain people very tough. Moreover, as mountain people who have nothing, they have nothing to lose, so they dare to fight for their lives. And this is also the reason why Marin likes to recruit mountain people as soldiers. You know, at the beginning, the reason why the Swiss mercenaries were famous was that the group of Swiss mountain people dared to work hard.

And because of poverty, it is difficult for mountain people to marry wives. Even if there are girls in the mountains, as long as they have a little beauty, they will try their best to marry outside the mountains. After all, human beings are animals that seek profit and avoid harm. This has also led to fewer and fewer women in poor mountainous areas. Many poor mountain men find it difficult to get a wife and can only play as a bachelor. This is common even in China in later generations. Many old bachelors in the mountains had to spend a lot of money to buy abducted women from human-traffickers. Among them, there are many female college students who have been deceived...

Therefore, for the men in the mountains, because of poverty, finding a daughter-in-law is also a difficult problem...

So, for this recruitment, Marin's banner is very simple - send a daughter-in-law when you come...

What daughter-in-law? Of course, it's the beautiful and beautiful Mao Mei - send Mao Mei when you come!

Bewitched by Marin, the Crimean Khanate is now keen to plunder the population of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Not only is he keen on plundering young women and children, but he also likes to arrest mature men to castrate and sell them.

To this end, the Crimean Khanate also specially ordered a large amount of alcohol from Marin for disinfection when castrated. Of course, although they believe in Allah and are not allowed to drink alcohol, these people are descendants of the Mongolians. However, externally, these Crimean Tatars will never admit to drinking alcohol in violation of the canon. As for the reason for buying wine from Marin, it's all for cleaning wounds...

It just so happened that when Marin brewed Erguotou, the head and tail of the pot were relatively flush, and they were generally used to purify it into alcohol, or blend it into inferior liquor, which could not be sold at a high price anyway. The Crimean Tatars are also not particular about it. They directly buy alcohol from Marin with a purity of about 75% from the head and tail of the pot. After buying it back, part of it is used for disinfection when castrating hairy men, and the other part is used for cleaning wounds when it is injured. Then the rest was blended into liquor and drank secretly...

far away,

In order to buy enough alcohol and obtain more wealth, the Crimean Tatars intensified their looting of the Rus region and robbed the population. In this regard, the Grand Duchy of Moscow has nothing to do. Because the Tatar light cavalry came and went like the wind, even if the Maozi army wanted to find the other side for a decisive battle, the other side might not agree. In desperation, Maozi had to send troops to build a large number of forts in the southern border area. However, the Crimean Tatar cavalry did not care about the fortresses at all, but went straight around and continued to sack the villages of the Rus. And the Rusian infantry in the fortress did not dare to come out to pursue the Crimean cavalry, otherwise they would be easily killed.

Therefore, among the Crimeans, the supply of Maomei is sufficient. As long as Malin spends money, he can buy enough hair girls.

Of course, the Marin family is not the only one who buys Maomei. Ottoman Turkey is also buying Maomei. You must know that the Turks believe in Allah and also practice polygamy. But the number of women in this country is limited, where can I get polygamy? Buy Maomei... Not only ordinary Turks buy Maomei as their wives, but even Turkish sultans buy them. For example, the queen of Suleiman I, Roxelana, was a Ukrainian slave girl bought by the sultan, and she was considered a half-haired girl.

Of course, as long as you have money and bid higher, the Crimean Khanate will definitely be willing to sell you a better Maomei.

The most important thing Marin lacks is money, so as long as Marin is willing, he can purchase a large number of Mao girls from Crimea and reward them as wives for soldiers.

That's why Marin dared to shout the slogan "Send Mao Mei when he sent people to the southern mountains to recruit troops." And this slogan has a fatal temptation for those poor mountain youths. This kind of temptation is much bigger than the salary of three pfennigs a day...

...

Of course, this time, Marin didn't dare to claim that he was recruiting. If they recruited more troops, Marin would definitely become a thorn in the eyes of those princes.

Therefore, this time, when people were sent to the southern mountainous areas to publicize the recruitment, the rhetoric of the people sent was - to recruit serfs. However, when the government needs it, they must also take up arms to defend their homes... This kind of statement is much milder than direct recruitment...

But in fact, this batch of recruits is of a semi-military nature. In peacetime, they farm, but in wartime, they are gathered together to fight. According to their role, they can actually be called "reclamation soldiers", somewhat similar to the Northwest Construction Corps of later generations.

Moreover, their station was also selected in the area near Groningen in the east of West Friesland, which is close to East Friesland. The original local nobility and Junker landowners here were moved to the Bremen area on the west bank of the Elbe. Therefore, there is a large vacant manor, which can be used to accommodate these people.

If a war broke out, these settlements, separated from East Friesland by the Ems River, would be quickly gathered to support important cities such as Emden and Aurich in the east of the river. If other countries wanted to attack East Frisland, they had to ask them if they would agree.

Although these people are not full-time full-time soldiers, their training level may not keep up with the regular army. However, because the agricultural production in the Grand Duchy of Beihai is one crop per year. Therefore, there is a lot of slack time every year, which is enough to train this group of reclamation soldiers into relatively elite troops. Even if they are not allowed to go to the battlefield and the enemy is hard to shake, it is more than enough to defend important cities such as Aurich.

Marin is about to attack the Principality of Gede Company, and at that time, he will send at least 20,000 troops. In China, only 10,000 troops will remain. In order to prevent the princes from taking the opportunity to attack, it is still necessary to prepare more troops in case of emergency...

To this end, when sending a recruiting team to southern Germany, Marin also sent envoys to Crimea by land to order a large number of Mao girls...
