King of Mercenaries

Chapter 26: Training people and wanting to vomit blood

After everyone put on the sandals, Marin finally planned to start formal training. For training, Marin spent a few days writing a training program. Marlin, a former life, did not have a military, the only military-related experience, or half-month military training when he first went to college. Of course, as a historical and military enthusiast, Marin often visits the forum to discuss the origins of the modern army - the modern European army. After consulting a lot of information and having had many debates with netizens, Marin's European military history has also risen.

Do not say anything else, the Spanish phalanx must know. Others, such as the Morris Square, Gustav Line, and Napoleon's artillery tactics, are a little bit savvy. If possible, Marin would like to use Napoleon's tactics. But that is unrealistic. You must know that European artillery is still in the era of bronze guns. Equipped with a bronze cannon, the cost is very high. Because, at present, the price of silver and copper in Europe is around 1 to 15, and the price of copper is too high. A silk-like leader like Marin can't afford a small copper cannon, let alone a hundred guns like Napoleon.

Moreover, let alone Napoleon's artillery tactics, even Gustav's lineup, he has no conditions to engage. Because, Gustav line array, using a large number of Musketeers. At the moment, the musket has not been invented yet. Even the arquebus has just been invented for decades and is still a rare thing. It's really difficult to get a few rows of Musketeers. Moreover, in the 15th century Europe, the iron-smelting technology was very bad, and it was difficult to create a light and powerful musket. Because the steel technology is not enough, if the barrel is too thin, it is easy to blow.

Even in the 16th century, the Spanish phalanx began to rise, and the Spaniards used the Musket rifle, which weighed 20 pounds. In addition to the fact that the Musket's large guns are so powerful, their bulky barrels are not easily blown up, which is also an important reason.

As far as the German region is concerned, although hunters have begun to use arquebus to hunt, in order to prevent bombing, they are afraid to fill up too much gunpowder, resulting in loss of power. In other words, Marin can't find a few qualified arquebuses now. It is also a dream to build a line of firearms. Therefore, Marin thought about it. Since there is no condition, I will train the spears first. The spears are very demanding for discipline and courage. In terms of courage, Marin is not worried. The people he recruited were all a bunch of goods that dared to change their money. Just for discipline, he is a bit worried.

So, he used the training in the university military training to start training these 80 rookies. They said that they were dumping goods, but Marlin had despised their adjectives before. However, after the actual start of the training, Marin felt that they were praised for selling goods. It is a real and reasonable adjective to say that they are stupid goods.

"All have it, look to the left!" Marin shouted.

However, the situation afterwards made Marin very mad, and a "left to the right" led to chaos. Someone looked to the left and someone looked to the right. Then, the people in the team began to "deeply look at each other". Those who are not confident, seeing the opposite direction of the people on the side, immediately change direction. But the sad reminder is that many people have begun to clearly see the right direction, but under the misguided people around them, turn their heads to the right...

What is even more tragic is the steering training. When Marin screamed "turn left", it was also a mess. Someone turned to the left, someone turned to the right, and the scene was noisy. Someone saw that the opposite person turned to the opposite direction, so he turned back 180 degrees, very funny.

"Rookies, are you stupid, do you want to be left or right?" Marin was angry, but everyone looked at him with a blank look.

Marin was also defeated, turning left and right to the right password, and his classmates had not made a few mistakes. In order to pick up this group of goods here, the state is full? But Marin didn't want to think about it himself. His former classmates were all college students with high IQ. Not to mention college students, they are junior high school students, high school students, and cultural people who have been compulsory. In the physical education class, elementary school began to teach a simple direction. Can this gang of fools do it in the Middle Ages? They are basically illiterate, no one can teach them to distinguish between left and right. They are uncultured and they can only work like slaves. The nobles used them as animals that walked on two feet and did not look at them. Therefore, these brains have not been developed, and they can distinguish between them. It is definitely a gift of talent. After training for three days, there are still many people who can't tell. Even if Marin used the gangster corporal punishment, it still didn't have much effect.

Marin was anxious to vomit blood. Seeing that the emperor was not far from recruiting troops for the second time, if he didn't train well, he would have no chance at all.

Finally, one day, when Marin was blowing the birch whistle, he saw a bastard who rushed to gather. It was probably too hasty, and the right foot didn't even have time to wear the shoes, so he ran to gather.

"Wear a shoe..." Marlin began to meditate, as if he had seen this situation.

"Right, the British 'Red Coat Army' is not just using a shoe to help the recruits to distinguish between the right and left!" Marlin excited. In the past, he was on the forum, and it seems to have been mentioned. In the 19th century, the quality of British soldiers was also very bad. When I was just training, how many new recruits couldn't tell. In order to distinguish the recruits, some people later thought of a way to let the recruits take off their right foot shoes and only let the left foot wear shoes. In this way, when training, turn left and shout "shoes", and turn right and shout "foot". As a result, the recruits quickly separated. After that, slowly replace the passwords for "shoes" and "foot" with left and right. In fact, until the early 19th century, the literacy rate of the British was very low. Basically, the recruits who are forced to recruit are illiterate. Those who can read literacy, as long as they perform well, can be regarded as officers and non-commissioned officers. People who are uneducated tend to be slow to listen to passwords, and it is difficult to distinguish them immediately. In other words, the British recruits in the first half of the 19th century, and the medieval novice mercenaries, are of similar quality.

Sure enough, after letting everyone take off a shoe, the situation is a lot better. After all, whether or not to wear shoes, as long as it is not dementia, can still be distinguished.

But there is also a problem with this, that is, the winter is a bit cold, and the bare feet are very uncomfortable.

To this end, Marin took everyone to a sheltered valley and laid a lot of hay on the ground to prevent everyone from freezing their feet. Moreover, everyone's right foot is not barefoot, Marin asked them to wear double socks. Not only that, but the left and right training is generally trained when the temperature is high during the day. At other times, I still wear shoes to train. For example, when it is cold in the morning and evening, everyone is training to run to exercise.

In this way, in a few days, the idiots finally cleared all the left and right. After distinguishing between the left and right, Marin tried to use the "left" and "right" instead of the "shoes" and "foot" passwords, and formally started a simple queue such as training, turning left, turning right.

After that, Marin took time out every day to make Schwartz better, and how to use the spear. Originally, Schwartz was to teach you a lot of spear fighting skills and simple tactics. However, Marin only asked everyone to train three simple actions: "parry", "pick" and "stab".

"Young master, why is this?" Schwartz puzzled.

"In the army, please call me the head." Marin looked serious.

"Well, head, why is this?"

"Schwartz, what tactics do you say, can these guys understand?"

"This..." Schwartz thought about it, or shook his head.

"So, with their brains, we can't remember so many tricks. We should teach them the most basic three routines. Moreover, fight against battles, not individual martial arts." Marin has seen many posts and articles. of. He knows that for those low-level soldiers who are not smart, they will not be too complicated. After all, they are not soldiers who have been compulsory for nine years in the future. Therefore, teaching them the most basic and simple and practical actions is the best choice.

In order to cultivate the brave thoughts of the soldiers, Marin brainwashed the soldiers every day. Every day, when training, Marlin will shout:

"The narrow road meets -"

"--The brave wins! The brave wins!" The soldiers will scream in unison, and whoever does not shout is a whip.

In this way, in daily training, Marin used the phrase "the narrow road meets the brave" in the later generations of soldiers as the slogan and purpose of the "Hoffmann Mercenary Corps". Of course, it is the slogan translated into German.
