Chapter 1235 Cossack Cavalry Regiment
Soon, Scher found a group of serfs who were good at breeding animals from nearby. But Marin knew that the proportion of bulls brought back this time was a bit high. Because a bull can breed a bull, just a little cow, so there is no need for too many bulls.
So Malin asked Kohler to send people to take away 30 male wagyu cattle and took them to a cattle farm near Orich to breed cows produced in the Crimean Khanate.
Moreover, Marin ordered that once the beef of Wagyu beef mixed-race that is later extinguished, the beef tenderloin that is about the same growth as its compatriots will stop slaughtering and keep it for breeding. In this way, good beef cattle can be selected.
Because Marin knew that Wagyu beefs of this era were not as good as Wagyu beefs in later generations. After all, Wagyu beefs have not been selected for cultivation. It can only be said that Wagyu beef breeds have a better foundation. However, it would be exaggerated to say that the current Wagyu beef is far superior to other beef cattle breeds. At most, it is a little better than other beef cattle, but the current gap is not big.
In addition, it should be pointed out that the wagyu beef is delicious and has limited the method of making. The marble grouper pattern of wagyu is far superior to other beefs when making steak. If you use very earthy potatoes to cook beef, wagyu may not be better than other beef meat. Because by steaming over high heat, the fat on the marble grouper will be meaningless. Only when making steak that is 70% or 80% cooked can those fats achieve the effect of melting in the mouth. If it is braised, the marble grouper pattern has long been cooked, and it doesn't matter whether it is Wagyu beef.
It is precisely because of the different cooking techniques that later Europeans and Americans divided beef into grades, but Huaxia did not. Because it is difficult to divide beef into grades in China's beef.
But Marin's cooking method of frying steak with olive oil in a pan has been promoted in Europe and has quickly become popular all over Europe. Therefore, in Europe, marble-shaped beef will still be popular. Even marble-shaped pork will be popular. Europeans also fry pork. For Chinese people who eat Chinese food, it is actually very necessary to look at the marble-shaped method. Anyway, after being stir-fried or braised with fire, the marble-shaped grouper has long been melted. What kind of "high-quality meat" with marble-shaped grouper is purely popular. If you don't eat fried steak or fried pork chop, it's meaningless whether you have marble-shaped patterns. Because marble-shaped patterns are actually just fat meat that is distributed...
So, if you can't eat "high-quality beef" or drink dry red wine, don't doubt your low-end. In fact, many people praise marbled meat or bitter dry red wine, which is purely show off. Anyway, foreigners say good, and some people don't say good will feel that they are not "international" enough... If someone makes stir-fried or boiled Chinese food, they can think that marbled meat is better than ordinary meat, don't guess, yes, the other party doesn't know how to pretend to... And when you enter the bar and yell at ordering Lafite in 1982, it must be the nouveau riche who has watched too many Hong Kong movies and is forcibly pretending to...
...
In the following days, Marin returned to the secret courtyard outside the Orich Palace. He didn't dare to stay in Wilhelmshaven. If he had a few more shots with the four judo champions, Marin would probably have kidney deficiency.
After returning to Orich, Marin not only ate a few stewed beef whips, but also took a slack noodles every morning and evening to supplement it.
On this day, Marin was eating noodles with his waist. Kohler suddenly came to report and asked Marin how to deal with the 5,000 Cossacks on the Jutland Peninsula...
"What? 5,000 Cossacks? Why are there so many?" Marin was also shocked when he heard this number. You should know that 500 cavalry can be organized into a cavalry regiment. 5,000 Cossack cavalry can be organized into 10 cavalry regiments, which is equivalent to a full cavalry division. In wartime, because cavalry casualties are high and difficult to supplement, 5,000 cavalry can be considered two cavalry divisions.
Kohler read through the information and reported:
"That's right. After you went to the Ming Empire in the East, we did not stop recruiting Cossacks on the Eastern European prairie. Those Cossacks are very simple. They can give half a pound of soju a day, and can eat and wear a good meal and wear for the whole family, so they are willing to work hard for us."
"So, the military supply of these Cossacks is very strange - in addition to food and grass equipment, there are also a lot of half a pound of soju wine..."
Marin immediately laughed, but unexpectedly, these Cossacks were all drunkards. Fortunately, the Beihai country has high grain production and can brew large amounts of soju. Otherwise, it would be impossible to raise these drunkards.
But soon, Marin asked in confusion:
"I remember that the Cossack villages were arranged by Deutsche Cossacks. Do they also like to drink strong wine?"
Kohler nodded and replied:
"Yes, many German Cossacks were also led by these authentic Cossack drunkards. You asked those German young men to learn to fight immediately after they followed the Cossacks. As a result, they not only learned Cossack riding and fighting skills, but many people also became addicted to spirits..."
Marlin was speechless, not learning to learn bad things. However, this is also one of the disadvantages of people - it is easy to learn bad things and difficult to learn good things...
Through Kohler's detailed introduction, Marin learned that these 5,000 Cossacks were not all authentic Eastern European Cossacks, but included 1,500 German Cossacks. Moreover, the main commanders of these Cossacks' army were also German Cossacks. Therefore, Marin still had control over this team.
In fact, Marin never thought that these Cossack light cavalry would take the initiative to attack the enemy's spear formation - that was no different from seeking death.
However, these people are extremely powerful in destroying the logistics of the enemy country.
According to Kohler's account, these German Cossacks not only learned to drink strong alcohol, but also gradually adapted to the life of bringing a batch of milk-producing mares as food supplies. If they each brought three horses including a batch of milk-producing mares for a long-distance raid, they could achieve great results.
Just in time, Marin was about to fight. So he quickly ordered the 5,000 Cossacks to be organized into 10 cavalry regiments. Then, a Cossack Cavalry Legion was set up, and the commander of the First Cossack Cavalry Regiment was temporarily appointed. Marin looked at the archives and the name of the commander of the First Cossack Cavalry Regiment seemed to be Alsace...
"I'll just go, the Lich King becomes my cavalry commander?" Marling suddenly had a bit of a play. He remembered that in the monsters he often played in his previous life, the Lich King's name was Arthas. However, that guy was not a light cavalry, but a death knight... Well, both are from the cavalry world, and they are both coded (horse)...
After reading the detailed information, Marin realized that this German Cossack named Alsace was originally a serf who was responsible for raising horses in the Alsace region. His parents, who were also serfs, didn't know how to name them, so they simply used a place name. Later, when encountering natural disasters, the owner of the manor where he was located went bankrupt, so he had to leave the manor to beg until he was recruited by Marin and sent to the Cossack village of the Jutland Peninsula...
