The population of this era was very small. For example, the German region, which totaled (including Austria, the Czech Republic and other places), which was only about 12 million. Just counting the later German regions, there were only about 9 million people.
There are so many states in Germany, like ordinary states, with only a population of tens of thousands. If the population exceeds 100,000, it is still a vassal state. If the population reaches 200,000 to 300,000, it is definitely considered a great power among the princes. If it exceeds one million, it is a perfect overlord level...
Although there is an overpopulation in many manors in the German region now. However, even if Marin immigrated all the surplus population in the German region, it would not exceed 2 million. Moreover, that is impossible. If Marin wants to do this, other princes may not agree.
Even if all the 2 million people are immigrated and thrown into the North American continent, I am afraid that even a wave will not be able to make up. Because North America is too big...
If you own large agricultural machinery, it would be fine for a family to cultivate thousands of hectares of land. But the problem is that there are no agricultural machinery now. A family of five can cultivate more than 100 acres of land, which is about 20 acres.
Only by grazing sheep can we make full use of the land. At the same time, it can provide a large amount of meat and wool, as well as sheepskin that can be made of parchment...
And herding sheep does not require all humans. Using sheepdogs is a convenient way to do things. After all, as long as the dog is well trained, it is more responsible for doing things. At least, in driving away the sheep, it is more powerful than the human beings when it comes to driving away the flock.
Moreover, the growth cycle of sheepdogs is very short. For example, after birth, the German shepherd can start training at three months old and can devote themselves to work to herd sheep within one year.
If it were humans, it would take more than ten years to have the ability to shepherd shepherd, and it would not be as good as the German shepherd. Therefore, using shepherd dogs will have quick returns and less cost.
In his previous life, Marin raised a very clever wolf dog (German Shepherd), which his uncle brought back from the city. Although the breed may not be pure enough, it is also very smart. The most important thing is that when the German Shepherd grew up, he was very powerful. When he was tied up in front of the door, there was basically no stranger who dared to approach.
Although, from the perspective of sheep alone, the German Shepherd may not be able to compare with the smarter border collie. However, the advantages of the German Shepherd are completely incomparable to the border collie. The most important point is that the German Shepherd can be a military dog ​​or a police dog, while the border collie is too small to adapt to such work.
So, Marin decided to send people to various parts of the German region to find the forerunners of the German Shepherd, and then cultivate them to obtain an excellent shepherd dog and military dog.
Needless to say, sheepdogs can help farmers herds. Moreover, the tall German shepherd can become a guardian dog in the family because of their courage. Robbers and thieves are afraid when they see large dogs like German shepherds. The short border herder has no deterrence and can only work hard to herd sheep.
As for military dogs, because of Marin's leading role, it can be expected that European countries will pay more and more attention to night attacks in the future. Because of night attacks, Marin has been successful many times. European countries are accustomed to imitating each other. Therefore, Marin is sure that more and more night attacks will appear in the future.
It was like this time when the Saxony army attacked Lüttledon, it took advantage of the night to explode the city gate and suddenly attacked the city. Not only that, they also learned how to bomb the city gate by Marin.
Therefore, in the future war, Marin also needs to be on guard against the enemy using night attacks to deal with himself...
In order to prevent the enemy's night attack, Malin planned to arrange a military dog ​​to watch out for the night. The military dog ​​has a strong hearing and high alertness. If the enemy dares to touch it quietly, it is easy to be heard by the military dog. As long as the military dog ​​barks and warns, the enemy's night attack will be exposed. In this regard, the sentry cannot be compared with the military dog.
At night, the sentry can only see the situation within the light coverage. Since the enemy attacks at night, they will definitely hide in the dark and will not easily discover it. But if there is a military dog, no matter where you hide, as long as you move, you will definitely make a sound. As long as the military dog ​​is heard, a warning will be issued in time.
In addition, military dogs have the function of cleaning up local scouts. The soldiers took the military dogs out and circled around the barracks. In some remote corners, according to the smell left by people, they could discover the enemy's scouts and attack the enemy's reconnaissance ability.
At this time, only Marin and his more trusted subordinates have telescopes. Other forces do not have this thing. If the enemy wants to reconnaise the situation in Marin's army, they can only send spies to close to reconnaissance. In this way, as long as the patrol soldiers take their military dogs out for a walk, they will easily catch the spies of the enemy and turn the enemy into a "blind".
As for drug control and explosives, there is no need to train this ability at present, so there is no need to rush to train this ability. Of course, Marin's subordinates do not have such training talents now... However, relying solely on guard and alertness and patrol tracking is enough to meet the needs of the current stage, and there is no need to pursue too much...
...
In order to find the German Shepherd, Marin personally painted, spent the image of the German Shepherd in his memory on paper, and asked his subordinates to search everywhere...
Unexpectedly, the German shepherd portrait drawn by Marin was seen by a soldier, and the soldier immediately recognized it:
“Isn’t this a common wolf dog in our Alsace area?”
Most of the soldiers under Marin came from the Wurttemberg Mountains and the Alsace region. The soldier who recognized the portrait of the "German Shepherd" was an Alsacean.
Marin quickly recruited the soldier and asked him for details...
It turns out that in the Alsace region, this shepherd dog, known as the "Alsace wolfdog", is a very common thing. As a soldier born in the Alsace region, I have naturally seen it many times.
Moreover, the owners of the Alsace area like to raise this large mastiff dog to shock serfs. If any serf is disobedient, they might be bitten by this "Alsace wolfdog"...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is a coincidence that this Alsace warrior named Heard was bitten by the "Alsace wolfdog" released by the other party because of a conflict with the young master of the owner of the manor. He was deeply impressed. So, after seeing the portrait of the German Shepherd, he immediately recognized it.
"Very good, Hurd, I'm entrusting you to bring people back with money and get me dozens of puppies of this kind of dog. At the same time, hire a few people who are good at training this kind of dog to come back. Once the matter is done, I'll get a lot of rewards!"
I heard that if you find a group of puppies and a few dog trainers, you can get a reward. This soldier named Hurd was also very happy. As a veteran, Hurd naturally knew that his boss was a rich man. Marin said that there were rewards, and it would never disappoint people. So Hurd was full of energy and brought a team of assistants to his hometown to find Alsace wolf dog puppies and professionals who were good at dog training...
Marin is more looking forward to it than Heard. If the tall and mighty German Shepherd is cultivated in his own hands, it will be very majestic at that time... Well, no, I am the king of a country, and it is not a good effect to lead the wolf dog out to show off. Therefore, the glorious task of leading the wolf dog out to show off will be given to my son Little Caesar...
In his previous life, Marin saw a naughty child riding a German shepherd as a "dog cavalry", which was very funny. Moreover, the naughty child insisted that he was a "wolf cavalry" because he was riding a "wolf cavalry", which almost made Marin laugh... Marin decided to take advantage of Caesar's young and low weight to let him feel the feeling of being a "dog cavalry"... Unfortunately, Marin did not have a camera and took photos on his mobile phone. However, he could let Da Vinci draw and leave that funny moment...
