What bold ideas? Marin planned to select 10,000 of the tens of thousands of prisoners of war in Hungary and form an army to deal with the upcoming war.

Marin was increasingly dissatisfied with the situation in England, because Edward is now making small moves and is doing his best to eliminate Marin's influence in order to achieve his goal of not being controlled by Marin.

To be honest, Edward's approach is undoubtedly very correct from his own perspective. But from Marin's perspective - what kind of scene should you be a "supporting actor" who was saved by me? Can't you be a supporting actor honestly? You have to rob the protagonist of the role! This is forcing the protagonist to get a lunch box early...

Not only Edward did this, but the native English nobles were also dissatisfied with a foreign prince who had strong soldiers in the country. The key was that Marin's two 10,000-man legions were still stationed in England. Although half of them were transferred by Edward and the English ministers to Scotland and Ireland, there were still 10,000 people in England.

You know, this is not a recruitment, but a standing army with strong combat power! How many of the standing army in England were? In the past, there were only a few thousand standing army in England. But after Marin released two legions, in order to prevent these two legions from launching a rebellion, Edward had to recruit two 10,000 legions as direct troops in order to protect himself. However, because there were still many remnants of the Tudor dynasty, so many troops were indeed needed to ensure safety.

But now, with the killing of Margaret, the last princess of the Tudors and the so-called "Little Prince Henry" and Edward cleared out the rebels in the country for several years, England has basically stabilized. Then, it is time for peace to "swords and guns to enter Kuma and release the South Mountain".

Edward wanted to disband most of the troops, but he saw that the two 10,000-man legions of Marin were still there, with no sign of disbanding or withdrawing. Therefore, he did not dare to easily disband the 20,000 army under his command.

However, 20,000 troops are standing! Even if the salary per person per day is calculated based on the daily salary of 3pence, the annual expenditure is more than 90,000 pounds. But the problem is that the annual fiscal revenue of the royal family of England is only more than 100,000 pounds. The burden is too heavy for so much military expenditure.

Therefore, in recent years, Edward's finances have basically been severely deficit every year! Fortunately, he killed all the great nobles of the Tudor dynasty and searched a lot of money and grain to maintain the expenses over the years.

But Edward knew that if he continued like this, he would spend all the money he had obtained by catching the property of the great nobles within two or three years. Moreover, in order to maintain the expenses of the army, he would need to borrow usury from the bankers.

It is precisely because of this that Edward couldn't wait to take action, trying to eliminate most of Marin's garrison in England. In this way, he could also disband most of the standing troops and only retain seven or eight thousand standing troops. In this way, he could save more than half of the military expenditure and allow the English court to balance income and expenditure.

Edward is not a local tyrant like Marin, and it is not difficult to maintain a tens of thousands of troops. According to England's financial level, maintaining seven or eight thousand standing troops is the normal range of tolerance. No matter how many, it is beyond the standard.

Therefore, Edward planned to reduce Marin's troops in England to less than 5,000 within two or three years. Of course, the situation in Ireland and Scotland is unstable, and Marin needs to help guard for a few years for free.

This is not a secret, but a consensus between the government and the opposition in England. Marin knew, so he also planned to let Edward get a lunch box within a year or two. Then, he controls England by himself.

However, once he annexed England, a great war with France is inevitable. After all, the French would never allow an army power such as England and the North Sea to unite.

In order to prepare for the war, Marin deliberately cooperated with the emperor in acting and publicly expanded his army, intending to form the Seventh Legion. The princes seemed to have been deceived and tacitly approved of his behavior of recruiting mountain people in southern Germany.

But Marin knew that this was not enough...

Even if one more legion of 10,000 people was recruited, the Beihai Kingdom would only have 5 legions and 50,000 people, plus a Cossack cavalry legion, which was usually grazed and farmed, and was convened during wartime.

The 55,000 army is looking at many, but the enemies they face are more...

As long as Marin annexed England, not to mention that France will be angry, other German countries will also become jealous and crazy, and it is likely that they will join forces with France to deal with Marin.

Therefore, that war will basically be a life-and-death battle for Beihai Kingdom. If it loses, Beihai Kingdom will be lost.

In this case, the more troops, the better, the stronger the better.

Previously, Marin had planned to recruit a 10,000 army from the tens of thousands of German immigrants in the North American colonies. Once war broke out in the local area, he would mobilize the 10,000 army to return to China to participate in the war.

But that's not enough!

The 65,000 army can only defeat the French army alone, but cannot stop the attacks of the German princes behind it. Therefore, Marin planned to prepare at least 75,000 people or even 80,000 troops. In this way, he can ensure undefeated!

In other words, Marin also wants to expand a corps of ten thousand people!

But where do people come from?

Before, Marin had also considered the fifty or sixty thousand Hungarian prisoners of war. After all, they were all strong men with combat experience. As long as they were carefully selected, ten thousand elite soldiers could still be selected.

However, Marin did not believe in the Hungarians. After all, the idea that "there is no other person in my race" is deeply rooted. Moreover, those Hungarian prisoners of war are all rebellious and are bandits with "criminal records", which is even more unreliable.

So, those Hungarians, Marin, had planned to make them farmers and develop American colonies.

But the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Since planning to abduct hundreds of thousands of people from Haiti Island to farm in North America, Marin suddenly discovered that it seems that there is no shortage of working people in North American colonies...

With this report from Haiti, Marin suddenly realized that the more than 60,000 Hungarian prisoners of war could also be used...

However, considering the issue of loyalty, Marin still asked Kohler to send someone to investigate the situation of more than 63,000 Hungarian prisoners of war in the Goslar mine. Mainly, the recognition of Germany...

This question is actually easy to check. Kohler sent someone to the church in Goslar Mine to find the local church people to learn about the progress of German learning, and then he found out the situation...

The reason is very simple - anyone who is interested in German often has a high sense of identity with the Beihai Kingdom. And those prisoners of war who refuse to learn German are often hard-working players and refuse to cooperate.

Fortunately, most prisoners of war knew how to be flexible and flexible. A few days later, the data was sent back. Only more than 10,000 prisoners of war were decisive and hard-working, insisting on not learning German well, nor were they willing to integrate into German society. The remaining 40,000 people were just ordinary people who followed the crowd, and were still willing to learn German and integrate into Beihai society. After all, Marin had clearly stipulated before that the treatment of learning German was improved.

Then, Marin picked up the roster and began to check the situation of the more than 40,000 prisoners of war who were willing to integrate into the North Sea Kingdom...

So, Marin discovered that most of the Hungarian prisoners of war who seemed willing to integrate into the Beihai society were young people. And the more than 10,000 prisoners of war who refused to integrate seemed to be middle-aged, and some even elderly people...

Ma Lin immediately understood...

After all, young people are more likely to accept new things and thoughts. Older people prefer to maintain their original habits and ideas, which is difficult to change.

But Marin likes young people for recruitment, because they have better physical strength and explosiveness and can serve longer. What makes Marin happiest is that among the more than 40,000 young Hungarian prisoners of war who have learned German, more than 20,000 were once cavalrymen!

Hungarian cavalry! That is a very famous military force during the war and a representative of European light cavalry! Even the Polish wing cavalry developed by the Hungarian Hussars' fighting style. Specifically, it is actually that the Hussars wear chest armor and iron helmets.

Most of these Magyar cavalry from Hungary grew up on horseback and were skilled in riding. Moreover, they were good at using sabers and spears, which were very similar to the fighting style of the Polish winged cavalry. After all, the Polish winged cavalry also learned from them.

Generally speaking, during the first round of charge, the Hungarian Hussars charge with spears. However, when using spears, it is difficult to pull out after the spears penetrate into the enemy's body. After all, there is no complex that is convenient to pull out on the spears.

Therefore, after the first round of charge, many Hungarian Hussars had to throw away their spears after stabbing the enemy. Otherwise, their arms would not be able to bear it and would even break their bones.

Then, if the group charge continues, the Hungarian Hussars will draw out the European straight sword and continue to charge. If it is a melee, they will pull out the scimitar at their waists and cut each other with the enemy...

In other words, whether it is the Hungarian Hussar or the Polish winged cavalry, they usually carry three weapons at this time - the spear of the first charge, the straight sword of the knight and the scimitar. Depending on the situation, they will use different weapons.

This requires extremely high quality of the cavalry itself, because they need to be proficient in using three different weapons and are proficient in using them on horseback.

Therefore, it was difficult to pick people from peasants and train them into Hussars. Later, in the 19th century, in order to avoid the ability of farmers to fight on horseback, they simply developed a wall-style charge that did not rely much on their personal abilities, which was a magical operation that was helpless.

However, in terms of maneuverability and purpose, it is obvious that the flexible and maneuverable Hussars are much stronger than those farmer cavalry who only know how to charge in a wall.

These Hungarian cavalry can not only charge during battles, but also use them to attack the enemy's supply lines in peacetime, and can also infiltrate the enemy's territory to cause damage. Or they are used as scouts and messengers.

Moreover, the Hungarians (that is, the Magyars) were originally ethnic groups on horseback, but they gradually turned to farming in the past few hundred years. Most of their tribes and nomadic peoples are still retained. Therefore, among the more than 60,000 prisoners of war, there are more than 20,000 light cavalry alone, which is a very high proportion. Most of them are young people who are willing to accept Marin's recruitment. After all, no one doesn't like good treatment...

After thinking about it for a while, Marin decided to select the strongest 10,000 people from the more than 20,000 Hungarian Hussar prisoners to form a new cavalry army.

Once the war begins with the French, these 10,000 Hungarian Hussars will have a huge effect. Not to mention anything else, but destroying the supply line will make the French army unable to bear it. In addition, the local area will strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and the supply problem alone will drag the French to death.
