Woolf Esbrand has been in East Friesland with Marin for half a year. For most of the time, he has been in the army, carefully studying the Marin phalanx and East Friesland military training methods.
During the holiday, Woolf Esbrand also rode around the East Frieslander country. Except for the autumn harvest period, most of the soldiers of the army were sent to the border to protect security, at other times, whenever they were on holiday, Woolf Esbrand liked to go around various places. After all, he was once the leader of the military and political leaders in the Dietmarshen area.
But after turning, Woolf Esbrand was shocked. Because, he found that the lives of the East Friesian people were so good...
Although the East Friesians may have very few meat to eat. However, ordinary East Friesians, even the lowest-level serfs, can usually eat good black bread. It is not the kind of black bun that is not fermented and mixed with a lot of wood chips, soil and stones, but relatively soft black bread. In Dietmarshen, only rich families with good families can eat such black bread frequently. But in East Friesians, serfs usually eat softer black bread. How can they not surprise Woolf Esbrand?
In fact, the black bread eaten by the serfs was not pure black bread, and it was mixed with some wild vegetables and grass bran. However, these two additives did not affect the softness of the bread. Moreover, these breads were fully fermented, so they were relatively soft. The taste of grass bran was actually similar to wheat bran. During this period, most of the black bread made by Europeans were made with wheat bran. Therefore, adding some grass bran, although it was thicker than flour, was not very eaten. Moreover, even grass bran was digestible, unlike gravel and soil, which could not be digested.
In addition, in East Friesland, Marin is divided into some "private land" near the residence of each manor. These private lands are for farmers to grow vegetables, and all the vegetables grown are for the people in the manor to eat themselves.
Of course, near each city, Marin will also arrange several specific manors to plant all vegetables to supply the needs of the city. Fortunately, there are not many cities now and there are fewer urban residents, so it is easy to meet the needs.
In addition, because East Friesland is a coastal country, there are many fishermen, so there are naturally many salted fish. In order to take care of fishermen, Marin also implemented the "grain for salted fish" policy. He exchanged a large amount of salted fish with the fishermen for rye of equal value, and then distributed it to various estates as the main meat for serfs.
Salted fish have low cost, but their nutrition is not worse than meat. Therefore, salted fish has become the main source of meat for the poor in the territory of East Friesland. Basically, ordinary serf families can distribute salted fish every week to supplement various nutrients.
Fish is not only rich in protein, but also rich in vitamins A, D, and E. People who often eat fish will not suffer from night blindness. Because night blindness is a manifestation of vitamin A deficiency. Because you can eat one or two salted fish every week, the prevalence of night blindness in the East Friesland country is very low.
At first, Woolf Esbrand thought that the people near Orich where he was stationed had better living conditions. As a result, he rode a horse and ran to some remote areas, the same was true.
Of course, some serfs in the fiefs of some nobles lived a relatively poor life. After all, some nobles were stingy. However, those stingy nobles did not starve the serfs, but they were not treated well in the manors under Marin's name.
In the manors under Marin's name, serfs basically live well. Although everyone has less oil and water in food, they are basically nutritious and people are in good spirits.
Seeing this, Woolf Esbrand finally returned to Marin. He believed that under Marin's governance, the people could live a good life.
So he began to ask Marin for the legendary "Oriental War Art"...
In fact, Malin was not a serious military officer, so how could he know how much military tactics? However, in his previous life, he learned a lot of miscellaneous military theories from the Internet and read a lot of classic battles. At the same time, he also read "The Art of War", read the CCTV version of "The Art of War and the Thirty-Six Strategies", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and so on...
At this level, he was an amateur military enthusiast in later generations, but in this era, it was still okay to fool Woolf Esbrand.
When he was bored, Marin told Woolf Esbrand about classic battle examples such as "burning the new world" and "flooding the seven armies", and fooling Woolf Esbrand into being:
"Oh, 'Burning Xinye' is so wonderful. This Zhuge Liang is so awesome. I admire him very much..."
"Oh my God, I didn't expect that there was a classic battle example in the East such as the "Flooding Seven Army". This general named Guan Yu is so powerful! I was also very satisfied with the battle example of flooding the Danish army. I didn't expect that there were generals in China a thousand three hundred years ago to make this trick. It was because I was short-sighted..."
Ma Lin wiped his sweat and thought to himself that my "Flooding Seven Army" is the version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which exaggerated Guan Yu's ability. In fact, the real "Flooding Seven Army" in history was Cao's own death and put the military camp in a low-lying area. It happened to encounter a storm. Guan Yu just took advantage of this situation, not the deliberate plan as in the version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
But when it comes to using water flooding, in fact, when the three families divided Jin, Zhi Boyao once flooded Jinyang. However, later, he was flooded by Zhao, Wei and Han families and was defeated. Moreover, that was something that happened more than 1,900 years ago...
Woolf Esbrand has never seen the world before. Marin picked some plots that appeared on TV and fooled him into a whirring way, which made people very funny.

After Marin finished talking to him about the TV version of "The Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Woolf Esbrand digested it for a long time and took a lot of notes, and then he could barely grasp it.
However, Woolf Esbrand is enough like this. If he teaches him more, Marin will not be assured of him.
Just so happened that Woolf Esbrand had returned to his heart now, so Marin decided to let Woolf Esbrand control the 10,000 troops of the Principality of Schleswig to guard against the Danes.
Next, if Marin wants to take over the Bishop of Munster, it will definitely be in chaos for a while. Marin is worried that the Danes will take the opportunity to attack the Principality of Schleswig. Therefore, he plans to send Woolf Esbrand to control the army of Schleswig and fight against the Danish invasion.
As for whether Woolf Esbrand would collude with the Danes? Marin never thought so. Because Woolf Esbrand and Denmark are irreconcilable enemies.
In addition, Marin arranged for Kohler to assign a team of guards to Woolf Esbrand to protect his safety. These guards actually acted as spies and were responsible for monitoring Woolf Esbrand Woolf Esbrand if they were loyal, they would naturally have nothing to do. However, if Woolf Esbrand had an antonym, these guards would cut off his head and bring it to Marin...
The fierce general Cage, who was originally following Woolf Esbrand, was kept by Marin and was responsible for the training of a team of special forces.
Now, Marin has used the trick of "combining the inside and outside" and the trick of bombarding the oak city gate and blasting. In the future, other countries will definitely be prepared.
Therefore, Malin planned to train a group of special forces soldiers who "fly the eaves and the walls" to cooperate with the main army to attack the city. At the same time, he could also be responsible for night attacks on the enemy's camp and assassination of the enemy's chief generals.
