It was not for free that Marin gave Wicklow County to Adler. For example, when the British King was fighting on Ireland, Adler had to send troops to assist in the war on behalf of Marin.

According to the rules, as the Earl of Newcastle in England, Marin sent troops to assist in the war when the British king set out. The reason why Marin gave Adler 50 knights was that he hoped that after the war broke out in Ireland, Adler led these 50 knights to fight with Edward.

Of course, one count with 50 knights was obviously too small. Therefore, Marin also asked Adler's knights to bring attendants. Generally speaking, one knight brought at least five knight attendants. Among them, two knight attendants served as servants. For example, one was responsible for taking care of horses and supplies, while the other was responsible for running errands for the knights. The other three were mainly engaged in combat missions, following the knights to charge into battle.

It should be pointed out that there is a difference between knight attendants and attendants. For example, the attendants who are responsible for taking care of horses and supplies are usually civilians, or are young, and mainly engaged in the work of servants. They are sometimes called servant boys. And those three or more combat attendants may not be civilian children. It is possible that they are noble children. Some famous knights and some barons will even send non-first sons to be knight apprentices and learn to fight with the knights. Of course, unfamous knights can only recruit civilians as combat attendants. Therefore, a knight generally has at least three combat attendants. Rich knights will have more combat attendants.

However, the non-calibration that Marin set for Adler was 600 acres of fief. Therefore, those knights could not afford to support too many attendants, and 5 were almost the same.

Also, those attendants are generally not heavy cavalry. Because the armor is very expensive, and the war horses that can carry heavy cavalry are also expensive... unless it is a famous knight, and his combat servants are apprentices sent by non-first sons of other noble families. In this way, the apprentice can take care of the cost of the armor and war horses themselves.

But generally speaking, the civil servants of the knights are light cavalry. Even horses are not necessarily qualified war horses. But there is nothing to do about this. After all, knights also divide the rich and poor. Rich knights, like French knights with fiefs of 1,500 acres, may bring two or three heavy armored cavalry to fight. Poor knights may take two or three half-carved light cavalry on horseback charge. Such half-carved light cavalry can fight with the wind. Once you encounter a hard battle, you can easily collapse and escape.

Of course, there are even worse things. For example, when Marin first traveled, let alone servants, he only wore half a set of plate armor and had no pants... Of course, Marin was just a wandering knight at that time. Without a knight title, he could not be considered a real knight. A knight with a title and a fief could only get five servants no matter how poor he was.

Once the monarch issues a conquest order, the knights will have to fight with their men. According to the requirements, each knight generally has to bring at least 10 soldiers. Two of them must be cavalry. This is the minimum requirement. If a rich knight, you can also bring more men. For example, some rich knights can bring 3 or even more cavalry to fight, and infantry (that is, peasant militia recruited) can reach 25 people.

...

Wicklow County is not short of population. The McMurrow Dynasty was able to survive tenaciously on the territory directly under the British king, and its strength should not be underestimated. At that time, the population of Wicklow County reached more than 20,000. Even if there is not, it can still hover around 20,000 people.

Therefore, Marin's requirement for Adler was that 50 knights, each of whom had to bring 3 cavalry and 25 recruits during combat. In addition, two orderly soldiers were responsible for managing supplies and supporting the knights to get on the horse.

In this way, each knight can send 30 or 50 knights to 1,500 troops. Although the number is not large, the combat effectiveness is still good because it includes 50 knights and 150 cavalry.

Moreover, for those recruited militia, Marin planned to send instructors to help train. At least, he had to learn to radiate the Swiss spear formation. In this way, his combat effectiveness would not be too poor.

...

But 1,500 people were still too small, so Marin decided to send 500 Cossacks to Adler. In this way, when Adler accompanied Edward to the war, he could also add 500 more powerful Cossack cavalry.

During this period, people sent to Ukraine have received good news - many Zaporoze Cossacks and Donhe Cossacks are willing to accept Marin's employment and recruitment and take the whole family to join us. But the requirement is - at least one bottle of whiskey every day (Rye Erguotou)...

Marin agreed to the request very happily, and then many Cossacks and their families came to vote.

But Marin was not worried about the leader of the Cossacks, so Marin specially selected the leaders of the group to be placed separately. And those ordinary Cossacks were integrated into the German Cossack village on the Jutland Pearlland in Denmark.

As a result, Marin accepted more than 4,000 Cossacks. However, 500 of them were selected to come out.

These 500 thorns are either the former Cossack leader or the relatively wild-hearted. If you want to make them blessed, you must suppress them.

However, the German Cossack village formed by Marin, the leading German Cossacks were actually ordinary German serfs and could not suppress these thorns at all. Therefore, Marin simply picked out these thorns and formed a Cossack thorn tribe.

Originally, Marin was worried and didn't know how to deal with the 500 Cossack thorns. But this time, Marin remembered that they came...

Those German peasants, Cossacks, may not be able to subdue these Cossack thorns, but Adler can |!

Adler is an authentic knight, and he is strong in body and martial arts. Although Adler can't beat a pervert like Kahn, he is also a leader among the knights. Even a pervert like Kahn has to work hard to defeat him during horse wars. Think about it, when Kahn couldn't ride a horse, he was abused by Adler all day long.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! For nomadic people like Cossacks, they are the most obedient to the strong. Want to subdue them? It’s very simple, just fight them one by one. When it comes to one by one, I guess those Cossacks are not opponents.

Why? Although Cossacks are fierce, their strength is mainly due to their overall ability. After all, a group of people who are proficient in riding and fighting horses rushed up together, even if they are like gang fights, their power is amazing. In terms of personal strength, these Cossacks are stronger than ordinary people, equivalent to the strong and tough guys among ordinary people, and perhaps stronger.

But Adler is different. Adler is a strong man and a strong man in his physical fitness. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has been practicing for more than ten years. His innate strong body and acquired martial arts practice have made ordinary soldiers no match for him. Even in the Beihai Army, only Kahn dares to say that he can beat him in the horse battle.

Therefore, Adler could bring blessings to the Irish Island with the British King Edward's army.

...

Moreover, these 500 Cossacks have strong personal abilities. If they are not powerful, they will not become thorns. After all, if you are not capable of being thorns, you will be repaired soon.

As long as Adler could subdue these thorns, he could sweep the indigenous forces on the Irish island with these Cossacks with the combat power equivalent to elite cavalry.

...

However, Marin did not give these elite thorny Cossacks to Adler for free. When he gave these Cossacks, Marin said that he wanted to draw the population from Wicklow County...

After all, Wicklow County has a population of 20,000, which is a large number in this era. Marin's plan is to draw thousands of people from Wicklow County to supplement the Scottish Highlands.

The population of Scottish Highlands is too small, and the area is more than ten times larger than that of Wicklow County, but the population is only a little larger. Therefore, Marin plans to draw thousands of people from Wicklow County to immigrate to the Scottish Highlands to accelerate development there. At the same time, he will also cultivate it into a future highland soldier.

Also, these thousands of immigrants who come to Scotland Highland County will destroy the local population and ethnic structure. Once the single ethnic structure of Highland County is broken, it will be easier for Marin to control the local area. After all, the Irish people are outsiders and cannot collude with the local people and can only rely on themselves. And the local natives, after being inserted into the nails by Marin, it is difficult for them to unite and oppose Marin.
