The Rise of the European Emperor

Like the Cossack Legion, Marin did not intend to let the Hungarians take charge of the four Hungarian cavalry divisions, but all appointed Germans. Even Ruzak, a Hungarian whom Marin is very optimistic about, is only the deputy commander of the First Cavalry Division. As for the main officer of the cavalry division, Marin intends to transfer cavalry officers from the German Cossacks from the Cossack Legion.

\u003cr/\u003e

Although those German Cossack-born officers did not know how to use warhammers and shields, this did not prevent them from fighting with Hungarian light cavalry who only used warhammers. After all, officers don't necessarily need to be on the front line, it's okay to stand on the sidelines and give orders. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

Of course, pure German officers cannot control those Hungarian cavalry very well. Therefore, Marin will select a group of Hungarian defectors who sincerely surrender to him like Ruzak, as his deputy, to assist the German officers in managing the army. Moreover, Marin definitely did not choose those Hungarian cavalry with high prestige as adjutants, but chose those with low prestige and sincere surrender. In this way, it is not easy for the Hungarian cavalry to form a group. After all, the official is a German, and the adjutant is a defector with little prestige. It is difficult to gather those Hungarian cavalry. As for whether the command can be moved or not, this is not a problem, there are strict military disciplines there...\u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

Therefore, after these Hungarian cavalry are gradually in place, the first step is not to train cavalry combat, but to train infantry formations. At the very least, after confirming that these people obey the discipline, they will not officially become cavalrymen. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

Moreover, Marin doesn't have so many war horses for them right now, and needs to go to the Crimean Khanate to buy them. It is definitely not possible to use native German horses. Moreover, buying 10,000 war horses and replacing them with pack horses is too much movement. Even if you go to Hungary to buy it, it won't work, because it is the territory of Vladislas II, and it will leak secrets. It can only be kept secret if it is purchased from the Crimean Khanate, a pagan force that basically does not communicate with other European countries. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

And to bring back the war horses bought from the Crimean Khanate, you only need to go through your in-laws and allies, the Kingdom of Poland. Then, 10,000 war horses will be transported back to the country through ports on the Baltic coast of Poland. On the contrary, the 10,000 pack horses used for transfer will swagger back home by land. The explanation to the outside world is that in order to promote horse farming in Beihai country, a lot of poor horses are needed...\u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

But as long as war horses are not imported in large quantities, other countries will not care. The only informed Poland is still an ally and will not talk nonsense. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

Moreover, in normal years, Marin actually introduced a lot of Eastern European Mongolian horses, thousands of horses every year. As long as Marin is not stupid enough to introduce all the horses at once, but introduces several times, it will not be very eye-catching. After all, he usually does the same. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

It just so happened that a group of cattle and horse ships specially transporting cattle and horses were built in America, and they were originally intended to be sent to Persia. But now the local side is in urgent need, so Marin sent a clipper to the New York shipyard to order them to transfer the first batch of cattle and horse ships back to the country first, and go to the coast of Poland to transport the 10,000 war horses. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

New York's Long Island Shipyard has built 10 horse and cow ships, each of which can hold 160 horses or 160 cows at a time. If 10 ships are used together, 1,600 horses can be transported at a time, and 10,000 horses can be transported in a few times. Moreover, it is relatively close from the coast of Poland to the coast of the North Sea, and it doesn't take long to go back and forth several times. At least, don't delay the war with France. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

As for the present, when the horses are not in place, those Hungarian cavalry,

Marin intends to use the introduced Mongolian horses from the Crimean Khanate to train first. Although these sluggish horses are not explosive, they are better than being honest and obedient. It's a big deal, I don't practice rushing now, but it's still possible to contact the transition march. After all, under normal circumstances, the march of the army is indeed mainly based on riding pack horses. War horses are very expensive, and they need to rest more at ordinary times. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

That's it, because the current Hungarian cavalry basically doesn't have horses, and they have to go to nearby villages to borrow horses even for training. Therefore, even the First Army and Second Army stationed in the East Frisian Province, the core area of ​​the North Sea State, were not discovered by foreign spies for an increase of 2,500 cavalry. After all, when it comes to cavalry, the horses are not in place yet. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

Moreover, Marin deliberately did not let these Hungarian cavalry wear the black cross and white vest representing the regular army of the North Sea State, but let them wear the gray linen vest representing the civilians accompanying the army, which made them even more inconspicuous. Those foreign spies discovered that the First Army and the Second Army were training a group of "citizens", and thought that these "civilians" were mainly used for food protection teams. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

The so-called food protection team actually means that when civilian husbands deliver military food, the strongest group of people with weapons will be selected to guard from the side to avoid being taken away by the enemy. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

Of course, the combat effectiveness of these food protection teams is very average, and they are easy to flee. It's okay to deal with small groups of enemy troops or bandits along the road who covet the grain transportation team, but there is no way to deal with the large enemy troops. Even if the food protection team trains a little more, it will be able to delay the failure for a while, so that reinforcements can come. Because most of the members of the food protection team are farmers, not off-duty soldiers, and they usually have to go back to farm. In particular, spring plowing and autumn harvesting must go back to work. Therefore, the training time of the civilian husbands of the food protection team cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, they are not eligible to live inside the camp, and usually can only live in another camp in a corner outside the camp. Only in wartime, it is allowed to settle in the promise to avoid being attacked by the enemy first and causing chaos. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

It was Marin who asked these Hungarian cavalry to wear gray linen vests and set up a small camp next to the big camp, so that foreign spies mistakenly thought they were the food guard team among the civilian husbands. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

But Marin knew that sooner or later, this would be ruined. When the horses arrived, the third and sixth legions were fine, but the first and second legions would definitely be the focus of foreign spies. So, I still have to find good excuses and excuses...\u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

Just when Marin was worrying about how to cover up these Hungarian cavalry and what excuses to find, the excuse was delivered to the door by himself...\u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

...\u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

"Your Majesty, Headmaster Alsace asks to see you!"\u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

"Alsace?" Marin was surprised, and suddenly recalled the dutiful son holding Frostmourne, but soon he recalled—this is not the Lich King, but the former Cossack Cavalry Legion The Legion Commander of...\u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

However, because of his poor performance in the war, Marin had replaced him and replaced him with Jurgen as the head of the new Cossack Cavalry Corps. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

But for the first legion commander, Marin didn't let him stay under Jurgen's command to be humiliated, but transferred him away to manage the cavalry school. Although the headmaster of the cavalry school has no military power in his hands, his rank is also a general, on the same level as Jurgen, the regiment commander. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

The so-called cavalry school refers to a school specially established by Marin to train young cavalry based on the Lüneburg grassland with an area of ​​more than 7,000 square kilometers after defeating the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms and annexing the Principality of Lüneburg. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

Even Marin said that 5,000 Cossack cavalry and their families all moved to live in the Lüneburg grassland in the name of "tribal migration". Then, Marin selected teenagers of the right age from all over the country to enter this school for training. The direction of their training is different from the knights of this era. Instead of learning the cavalry charge of plate armor knights, they learn the martial arts of light cavalry instead, but they also learn the tactics of lance charge. In short, they were trained according to the requirements of Lancers, similar to Polish hussars, and belonged to the kind of cuirassiers between plate armor knights and light cavalry. \u003cr/\u003e

\u003cr/\u003e

Now, four or five years have passed, and it is estimated that the first batch of teenagers have almost finished their studies and are about to graduate. Marin estimated that Alsace, the headmaster of the cavalry school, came to him for this matter...\u003cr/\u003e
