After plotting against the Swiss, Marin still felt idle. It would be fine if he was idle. As the boss, Marin looked down on his employees the most...
Yes, the boss is very unscrupulous. They can allow themselves to be bored and tease Xiaomi if they have nothing to do. However, they will never want to see their subordinates bored and chat and spank. Even if the unit has no orders, the boss also hopes to see the employees busy with the wind...
In his previous life, Marin was the victim of such a boss's psychology. Even if he was fine, he would not dare to be idle and would pretend to be very busy.
But in this life, after becoming a prince, Malin's identity and position changed...
For example, he could allow himself to drink tea leisurely and take a lazy life, but when he saw that the 40,000 subordinates in the besieged city were also leisurely, Marin was not happy...
So, Marin planned to have some fun for his subordinates... Of course, it was what Marin thought...
The next day, the army received a notice that the entire army was divided into two parts, with 20,000 people in each part. Between the two parts, part of which was responsible for monitoring the Danish army in the city. The other part was busy with daily training and...a big competition...
The Danish army in the city had only more than 10,000 people, and Marin assigned 20,000 people to monitor, which was enough. The troops that had not been monitored for the time being were all pulled to a certain distance from Copenhagen for training.
As for the 10,000 militias, they must be placed there for intensive training due to lack of combat literacy. Therefore, the 10,000 militias must be trained in camps far away from Copenhagen. The other 30,000 people were divided into three parts, each time 20,000 people were kept at the city of Copenhagen, responsible for defending the Danish army.
The people far away from Copenhagen seized time for military training. Not only did the 10,000 militia, even veterans, need to maintain training to prevent the military level from declining.
In the East Friesians, veterans are not allowed to stay idle. Although they do not have the training of tense every day like training for recruits, they still maintain training every now and then. For example, if you run 5 kilometers every day, no matter whether you are a veteran or a recruit, you cannot escape.
It is precisely because of the long-term training that in East Friesland, the military level of veterans will not decline, but will become higher and higher.
Only musketeers and artillery units have not maintained regular training due to the lack of gunpowder. However, Marin is also not stingy in training, especially in the early training. In short, the musketeers under Marin practiced live-fire many times before going to the battlefield. Unlike the musketeers who later took the war, many people did not fire a few shots before going to the battlefield. On the battlefield, they were basically cannon fodder.
The reason why Marin tried his best to seize America was to lead Spain to India and fight with Portugal. The purpose was to monopolize Chile, South America and obtain sufficient supply of saltpeter.
As long as Chilean saltpeter is developed, Marin's musketeers and artillery can practice fire without restrictions. When you really go to the battlefield, the difference between excellent artillery and musketeers is huge.
For example, in the previous battles, the Saxon artillery's professional level was far inferior to that of the East Friesian artillery. As a result, the opponent's artillery positions were bombarded by Marin's artillery before they were arranged. This was mainly because Marin's artillery often practiced artillery attacks. Moreover, the artillery also had "advanced" aiming tools such as Wangshan.
...
Under Marin's instructions, 10,000 militiamen were there to conduct basic training. In addition to training, the 10,000 veterans who were rotated also had to conduct a large competition and practice their usual training results...
For those veterans, the competition is a display of their usual training results. For Marin, the competition is equivalent to watching a martial arts movie... Although there is no exciting scene of flying and hiding like a real martial arts movie, it is quite exciting to watch a group of men fighting...
Of course, this is not a ring match, but all of them are group matches.
In Marin's view, the army is a whole, and it is meaningless to show individual courage. The most important thing is to show the strength of the collective.
Therefore, the competition is divided into three events - the confrontation between 25-person teams; the confrontation between 250-person companies; the confrontation between phalanxes...
Of course, because it was a comrade-in-arms' discussion, the spearheads had to be removed. Then, the spearheads were wrapped with rags and dipped in lime powder. The soldiers also wore "mahjong mats" armor. The final victory and loss and life and death were judged by the lime spots on the soldiers' bodies.
In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the warriors for the competition, Marin announced that as long as the team competition is won, the soldiers in the winning group can receive property rewards if they have wives. Warriors without wives can give priority to Danish girls in the wife-robbing action after the war...
After this reward measure was released, the veterans with wives were fine, but those without wives were all screaming with excitement, like werewolf transformed on a full moon night...
But there are many problems with the competition. For example, the competition between spearmen in infantry is naturally very easy to compare. You can just stab each other with a wooden stick without a gun.
However, the competition between musketeers is a bit difficult. You can't shoot at each other's live ammunition, right? That will kill people. And Marin does not have the infrared sensing clothing and special firearms used in later generations.
Therefore, the competition between the Musketeers can only compare with the target shooting. Moreover, the competition is the team's total shooting results, not the individual shooting results. In addition, the length of time spent and proficiency of the shooting team are also needed to consider.
In addition to the problems with the musketeers' competition, the cavalry competition is really difficult.
Because if a cavalry competes, it is easy to suffer casualties. Cavalry that charges at high speed easily lead to accidents such as fractures, falls, and even deaths on the spot.
In desperation, Malin had to adjust the cavalry competition method. He changed the competition between each other and the team charged and assassinated the straw man...
Although the intensity and excitement have been lost, the safety has been greatly improved. You must know that cavalry are all treasures and cannot be damaged due to competitions.
Of course, in order to test the basic skills of cavalry fighting, Marin used not to fix the grass man. Instead, he hung a grass ball on the wooden stake. Under the traction of the rope, the grass ball blown by the wind will shake left and right, making it difficult to aim and stab.
In this way, when the cavalry uses a spear in a high-speed charge, they may not be able to accurately shake the grass balls with bayonets on the left and right, greatly increasing the difficulty of the assessment.
Moreover, hanging a straw ball on a wooden stake with a straw rope is much more trouble-free than tying a complete straw man, and it saves time and costs...
In this way, in the leisure time of this war, Malin supervised the 10,000 militia for military training, while also enjoying the team competition of the veterans, and it was very enjoyable...
