After careful consideration, Marin decided to abandon the 5,000 standing army of the former Bishop of Munster and the 800 standing army of Osnabrück.

The reason for this is that these 5,800 mercenaries are already old mercenaries with difficult habits. Taking them like an army will only lead new recruits and reduce the combat effectiveness of the army.

You know, these old mercenaries, steal, kill, rob, and are all proficient. If they are retained, they will definitely corrupt military discipline.

Marin's army is different. They are all honest and simple rural youths sent by Marin to find from rural German areas. Before they joined the army, they had not yet become infected with the bad habits of ordinary mercenaries. After entering Marin's army, it was even more impossible to become infected with these bad habits. Otherwise, they would be subject to severe military laws.

Therefore, Marin would rather go to the rural German countryside and recruit some honest rural youths to start training from scratch than recruit those old mercenaries. However, if the war is tight, Marin would not mind hiring temporarily.

Although he planned to dismiss the 5,800 people, Marin was very worried that these people would be hired by their enemies after they were dismissed. At that time, these people would become their enemies.

You should know that the combat effectiveness of the mercenaries in the Bishop of Munster is still good in ordinary troops. If the Bishop of Munster Conrad did not take the righteousness and the pressure of the Pope's orders, if these mercenaries defended Munster City and fought with themselves, Marin, an army dominated by the new army, might suffer a great loss. After all, the other party has a good territory and the city gate has been blocked. If you want to seize Munster by force, you can only use the tactic of making up your lives.

Marin neither wanted to hire this army nor was worried about them leaving, so he fell into a dilemma...

"Why don't you give it to His Majesty the Emperor?" Marin suddenly thought so. After all, if Maximilian I was going to fight the Swiss battle for hegemony, it would definitely require more troops.

However, the scale of 5,800 people is too large, and the poor emperor may not be able to support it...

While thinking about the problem, Marin habitually tapped the table with his fingers, making a "tuk-tuk" sound. On the table where he tapped his fingers, there was a map of Europe...

Marin looked down and found that his finger was knocking on the map of Ireland...

"Yes, give these people to Earl Edward!" Marin slapped his head and finally came up with a good idea.

Earl Edward now has only 8,000 mercenaries and 2,000 recruits collected from local Ireland. But those recruits are responsible for serving tea and water to the helping troops. If they have any combat effectiveness, it is unlikely.

Moreover, most of the Earl Edward's army are French mercenaries now. Basically, Edward's fate is controlled by the French. If the French don't take him to play, Edward will be finished.

Therefore, Earl Edward actually needs an armed force to balance with French mercenaries. And these 5,800 German mercenaries seem to be very good...

In Edward's army, there were originally 3,000 French mercenaries and 2,000 Swiss mercenaries. Now, with the reinforcements of 2,000 French mercenaries and 1,000 Scottish mercenaries, the number of French mercenaries under Earl Edward's men reached a huge number of 5,000. Moreover, the 2,000 Swiss mercenaries were actually hired by France.

If this 5,800 German mercenary was given to Edward, it would not only balance the influence of the French army, but also make Edward have his own voice, but also greatly increase Edward's strength. After all, with these 5,800 people, Edward's regular army would reach 13,800 (the two thousand recruits can be ignored). Such strength could completely resist the counterattack of the English.

Thinking of this, Marin immediately suspended the disbandment of the mercenaries and stabilized them first. Then, he wrote a letter to inform Van Gore, a representative of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce who had already gone to Ireland, and asked him to come here to take over the mercenaries in person and take them to Ireland.

Because of the huge number of people and the consumption is huge, Marin knew very well that Earl Edward had no ability to pay commissions at present. Therefore, Marin planned to take out the money in the name of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, first raise these 5,800 people to help Edward fight. At the same time, he also relied on this army to expand the North Sea Chamber of Commerce's voice in Edward.

...

After solving this headache, Marlin was in a good mood, so he took a group of subordinates to go on a horse to go to spring. After all, it was just the end of April, and it was a good time for spring to be bright.

In this bright spring season, it seems that animals have also posted that...

When Marin took a group of subordinates to get off the horse and enjoy the flowers by a sea of ​​flowers, an extremely embarrassing scene appeared - his uncastrated warrior Makar actually broke free from the reins, ran to a red mare not far away, pounced on from behind, and started to do something ashamed...

Looking at Carl with a slutty look on his face, Marin felt that his face was lost by this guy...

What made Marin even more amused was that the owner of the red mare, a civil servant, shamelessly praised Carl for being mighty and majestic... In love, Carl went to his mare, which was a blessing he cultivated by eight generations...

"This kid has a future... so good at flattering..." Marin gave an admiring look.

Unexpectedly, this guy became even more excited. Seeing Marin's admiring gaze, this shameless civil servant actually went to help Carl push his butt. It seemed like Marin was doing that, and she was so shameless...

Looking at the unbearable scene in front of him, Marin shamefully wanted to cover her face. Fortunately, although the horse's job was very big, the mating time was really short. In just a while, Carl was done. After that, Carl stood up his front legs and neighed to the sky, as if he had done something amazing...

"Do I need a veterinarian to castrate this guy?" Marin thought, touching the short beard on her chin.

Carl was a little too energetic, not as quiet and steady as those castrated stallions. Every spring, Carl was disturbed when he saw the mare, which was very embarrassing to Marin.

However, after thinking about it, Marin still couldn't bear to let it go. After all, Carl has been with him for eight or nine years. From the young pony that he was growing into a middle-aged horse, he will retire in three or five years. Although he is "middle-aged", he still has not changed his lustful habits and is quite like a "salted uncle". However, Carl is still very loyal and brave to himself. When he was knocked unconscious by Cage, Carl actually ran into Hyde City with Cage's horse, but he was unwilling to leave him.

"Forget it, let this guy go..."
