After returning to Orich, Marin first received a report from Steindorf, asking Malindo to buy war horses.
一次 This time Marin went south, he did not bring the Black Shirt Knight to command Steindorf, because the goods returned to his hometown to pick up his family. He is an Alsatian, and used to eat in the Marin Army. But this time after he was promoted to the command of the Knights of the Black Shirt, he felt that he should settle down in East Frisian. So when Marin led the team south, he returned to his hometown and took all the family members to Orich.
In fact, this is also encouraged by Marin. The families of important military officers, Marin, built a residence for them in the city of Orich for free. One is to facilitate the reunion of officers and their families. In the second place, the hidden purpose of the hostages of the officers was also included. Such a method was very common in ancient China. The generals set out, and family members must stay in Beijing. If you dare to rebel, the whole family is killed ...
Steindorfer is also more dedicated, he found that the newly formed "black shirt knight" lacks a good war horse. Although the black shirt knight is a light cavalry, he does not wear full body armor and no horse armor. However, the knight in black shirt still wore a breastplate and helmet, and the weight of the five carbines was no less than that of the plate pants. In fact, black shirt knights have less horse armor and lances than plate knights. Therefore, the requirements for horses are quite high.
Now these 200 black shirt knights have only 100 war horses. The other 100 are still excellent French horses. Although the quality of French horses is second only to war horses, it is not yet a war horse.
In addition, three years have passed since Marin built a horse farm during the Texel Island, and only 500 ponies have been added. Then, these horses were too small, although there were a lot of good seedlings in them, but they were too immature to pull them directly onto the battlefield.
You know, even a horse of the best pedigree usually can't start training on the saddle until 2 years old. Now, the new horse farm outside the city of Orich on the peninsula has just begun training the earliest batch of born ponies. The best of these horses will not be put into use until one year later.
It is very difficult for a horse to become a war horse. It usually starts at the age of 2 and starts training on the saddle. Then the horses began the brutal elimination process. Horses with poor explosiveness were eliminated first. Because war horses need to sprint, without explosive power, obviously not. Then, those with poor endurance are also eliminated. After that, it was a test of guts.
Generally speaking, the requirements of war horses are not shocked. At this stage, the trainer will arrange people to scare the ponies and observe their reactions. If it's too easy to be surprised at first glance, the decisive thing is to get rid of it.
The horse is like a horse with a black shirt, which requires more guts. Because, the black shirt knights are going to release their guns. The huge sound of rifles fired the horses with more guts.
As Marin moved south this time, when training the black shirt knight, some horses were scared and almost hurt people. For this reason, I came back this time to coincide with Steindorf's request for a war horse. Therefore, Marin took this issue very seriously.
Since Steindorff was so concerned about this, Marin simply gave him the job of buying a horse. Let him go to the horse farms of the various vassal states in the south to pick the right warhorses.
In fact, Steindorff found that among the horses, the least shocked were the horses, the castrated stallions. This kind of horse has no desire and has the weakest temperament. Unlike a stallion without castration, his temper is too strong to be disciplined. The mare is very obedient, but the courage is too small. Faced with huge gunshots, the mare's bearing capacity is lower than the stallion. Of course, this is just overall. There are actually many daring mares. Can be selected from the group of horses as a war horse, the courage is not small. However, there is enough courage and better control.
So Steindorf asked for more stallions. Moreover, in this era, the price of the bridle is not high, and it is similar to the mare, only about 100 gold coins. The stallion without castration, the price is on the high side, and can sell for about 120 gold coins.
The reason why this is so is not to say how good the stallions are, but that the knights want to show face. For example, if any knight rides a mare, he will be laughed at as "very mother." If a horse is riding, it is easy to be laughed at incompetence.
现象 This phenomenon was very serious in the early and middle Middle Ages. As a result, the prices of stallions, mares and stallions at that time were very different. But in the Renaissance, people paid more attention to practicality, so the application of horses and mares increased. However, due to traditional ideas, many knights are more willing to ride a stallion, even if the stallion is more difficult to control.
However, it's also a matter of Cavaliers' masters to save face. For poorer knights and heavy cavalry, there is no such idea. For them, if there is a good horse to ride, even if it is good, where can they choose?
Like Marin captured in Marin last time, there were many mares and mules. The reason is that the French are increasingly focusing on practicality. And, of those 8,000 knights, only a half were formal knights. The other half are trainee knights. Trainee knights have poor economic conditions, how can they choose?
The mercenaries of civilian origin, such as Steindolf, paid even less attention to their faces. Let them all ride their horses, and no one felt anything wrong. They are not master knights, they have no face at all, they don't pay attention to face, they just talk about practicality.
Marlin thought for a while, and approved Steindorf's request to buy Marlin. However, he also requested that half of the horses be required to be mares. Because mares and horses can also be used to cultivate excellent ponies. Although the horse is good, it can't train new horses, only one generation.
Hema Lin already has a plan to cultivate new excellent horse breeds. He intends to use local excellent mares and then introduce excellent Arab stallions to cultivate new warhorses. To this end, Marin planned to arrange for Kohler to contact the Jewish merchants and let them find ways to introduce excellent Arab stallions from the Middle East. With enough money, these Jewish merchants were willing to do anything. Moreover, Jews in the Middle East are not as hostile as Arabs as Christians. Even when the Spanish Kings began to expel the Jews in 1492, the Turks sent ships to Spain to pick up the Jews. The purchase of Arabian horses must be right to the Jews. Of course, we should also pay attention not to be pitted by them. After all, Jewish traitors are often doing good things.
Before leaving, Marin thought about it and told Steindorfer ~ www.novelhall.com ~ not to say that he was choosing a warhorse for East Friesland. It is also helpless to say, because the Saxony department, as one of the seven German election princes, has a great influence in the German region.
This time, the Duke of Saxony released a word and wanted to engage in Marin. Many nobles deliberately kept a distance from Marin. When Marin returned from Italy, he was found cold.
Although, the emperor has publicly acknowledged his count status. However, none of the nations along the way, except the ally of the Principality of Cleveland, warmly entertained him.
Actually, this is also a simple issue of standing up. Marin has just taken control of East Frisian, and in everyone's opinion, the foundation is still unstable.
At this time, Marin encountered such a powerful hostile force as the Duke of Saxony. In the eyes of most princes, Marin's failure was almost inevitable.
So many princes kept their distance from Marin. If Steindorfer wanted to buy warhorses under the banner of East Frisian Land, some princes might choose not to sell warhorses to East Frisian in order to please the Duke of Saxony.
Although said, many war horse sellers are not official vassal states. However, most people engaged in the war horse trade have an official background. As long as the vassal states officially speak, they may choose to refuse to sell the steeds.
Therefore, helplessly, Marin had to let Steindorfer go out to buy war horses, not in the name of East Friesland, but in another name, so as not to be troubled.
This is also no way out. Who makes Marin infamous now? Most people look down on it. Therefore, Marin was determined to defeat the Saxony army upright this time and make a name for himself, so as not to be isolated in the future. After all, no matter in this era or in future generations, the powerful nations are filled with friends and the weak nations are left alone ...
