Marin was very depressed. He was playing "European Storm" at home, but finally became the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. He was getting high, but his buddy Li Liang called him to ask for help and asked him to help fight.

As for the cause of the incident, it was because Li Liang went out to practice a stall at night and had a conflict with a group of gangsters over a dispute over the stall setting up. Then, Li Liang was beaten.

Li Liang was naturally dissatisfied, so he called a few friends to find the place. Marin was tall and big, and was flexible. When he was a child, he learned to fight in the army with a veteran, so he naturally gave priority to the "divine beast" summoned by Li Liang.

Marin just swept across the entire Holy Roman Empire in the game and became the emperor worshipped by thousands of people. He was in full swing at this moment, so without saying a word, he rode his second-hand electric bicycle and went happily to "maintain the justice of the earth."

After my brothers arrived, Li Liang promised to invite everyone to have hot pot after finishing his work, and each person had a pack of good cigarettes, and then the atmosphere came up...

Under the leadership of the big man Marin, my brothers and others found a few young yellow-haired men who were still setting up a stall. Then, Marin spread his legs like a knight and launched a horseless charge...

The little yellow-haired men were indeed fighting against the five scumbags. They had just relied on the large number of people to beat Li Liang. Under the charge of the Marin Horse Knight, the little yellow-haired men were quickly beaten to pieces.

But Marin was also proud and rushed forward, not paying attention to the danger behind him. Then, a sinful brick appeared behind Marin's head...

Then, the horse Da Knight was hit by a brick in the back of his head and lost consciousness...

"It's indeed... a brick... a broken martial art... a god... can't stop it..." This is Marin's last thought...

…………

After a long time, what do you know how long it will take...

Marin finally woke up, but it felt very wrong. Because, when he opened his eyes, he did not see the white walls and soft lights in the hospital, nor the scene of his rental house... Because, he obviously smelled the green smell of grass...

"I'll make me! Li Liang, you bastard, I'm hurt after I stood up for you. You actually left me in the wild and didn't even send me the hospital! Damn, labor and capital are going to break up with you!"

Marin cursed and planned to get up, but he suddenly realized that this more tender voice seemed not his, but it was indeed his own...

Marin, who has read many time travel novels, is naturally familiar with this plot:

"Can't it...not...it's time traveling?"

Marin quickly stretched out his hand and scanned the part he could see at the same time...

Then, he saw a green body, a strange outfit, and a pair of snow-white tender hands that were obviously not his...

Suddenly, Malin's heart tightened - he wouldn't have traveled to become a woman in time, right? Some time ago, "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" was too popular, and he was very afraid that he would have traveled to become a woman in time. If he became a woman, he would be pressed by a man in the future... Malin's hair stood up and he didn't dare to think about it anymore...

With a nervous mood, he skillfully directed the "Five Girls" on the left to reach out to the lower part...

After a while, Ma Lin was very relieved - he was still a man, probably traveling to a boy. Because the hair below had not grown all the time...

As his mind relaxed, coupled with a strong sense of hunger, Marin fainted again...

...

After a long time, Marin woke up from hunger...

At the same time, a memory merged with Marin's consciousness - it was obviously the memory of the original owner of this body...

Through reading the memory, Marin learned that the original owner of this body, also known as Marin. Of course, it was not Marin from China, but Marin from the West. To be more precise, it was a young wandering knight named Marin Hoffmann in the German region at the end of the 15th century.

What is a wandering knight? First of all, this is a knight (mostly an apprentice knight), who usually has a war horse, a cavalry rifle, and a set of knight armor. Some knights have horse armor, which is basic equipment. In addition, all knights have received strict training since childhood, are good at charging immediately, and are familiar with close combat. Their skills are generally much better than ordinary people.

In the Middle Ages and Renaissance of Europe, the knights were the lowest feudal lords in Europe. On it, there were barons, viscounts, earls, marquis, dukes, princes, kings, and emperors.

However, not every knight is lucky enough to get a fief. Because knights need to work hard for higher lords to have the chance to get a fief.

Moreover, the fiefs of the knights are generally relatively small, only one or several villages in the size of a village. For example, this little wandering knight named Marin, his family, the Hoffman family, is a small knight family under the country of Markbour in the Ruhr River. This family only has a small village with little arable land, and all the arable land is only 100 Yugrams (ancient Roman area unit, in the Middle Ages, one Yugram is equivalent to 2 acres, equivalent to 12 acres). In other words, the Hoffman family only has 1,200 acres of land.

1200 acres of land, it looks like a lot, right? In the Ming Dynasty of the same period, it would definitely make a whole family lively and have a wealth of food and clothing. However, thanks to the unlucky agricultural technology of the Middle Ages, the agricultural output is so low that it is touching. The 1200 acres of land of the Hoffman family, putting aside the fallow (Europeans implemented a rotation fallow system, and arable land was generally abandoned every two or three years to restore the terrestrial capacity. Until modern times, there was still this tradition in rural Europe and the United States). The remaining 600 acres of land produced only 100,000 pounds of rye per 600 acres (Cologne pound, one Cologne mark = 233.85 grams, one Cologne pound = 2 mark = 467.7 grams). On average, the yield per acre of rye is only 166.7 pounds, equivalent to 156 kilograms. This is still a year of bumper harvest. If there is a famine, the yield will be lower, and the per mu of production capacity will drop to about 100 kilograms.

Such a yield per mu is really touching. No wonder thousands of people starved to death in the medieval period of the German region...

There is something even more amazing. The wheat yield per mu in this era is even more touching. In a large manor near Hoffman Manor, the wheat yield per mu is only less than 100 kilograms...

Damn, as a top student in the history department, Ma Lin knew very well that since the Han Dynasty, the wheat yield per mu of China was stable at about 200 kilograms. By the Ming Dynasty, the rice yield per mu in Jiangnan could even reach about 500 kilograms.

The key to the problem is that Marin knew in various time travel novels - that was because Westerners did not know how to use manure. For a long time, Westerners did not know how to fertilize the land. They just ate the ground, sowed the seeds and watered it. Then they did other things. Even serfs didn't know how to pull weeds.

As for feces, Europeans in the Middle Ages basically urinated and defecated everywhere, causing the city to be filled with odors. This also caused flies to fly around and diseases to spread everywhere. The Black Death that broke out several times in the Middle Ages was inseparable from the harsh sanitary environment in Europe at that time.

In the East at the same time, farmers even pushed manure trucks to the city to collect manure as fertilizer for farmland. There were also children who specially carried baskets to pick up manure eggs.

The feces of the Chinese people were all taken down from the fields, creating the high yields of ancient Chinese agriculture and supporting the prosperity of Chinese civilization. The feces of the Europeans were everywhere in the city, breeding a large number of flies, causing the raging of various epidemics in Europe...

Well, Marin felt that he was thinking too much. The reason why his body ex became a wandering knight was a tradition of the Germans.

Since Europe established the eldest son inheritance system, other sons of the nobles have suffered. The eldest son takes everything, and the other sons can only watch the eldest brother take everything...

If it were a great noble family, the situation would be better. For example, although the king's other sons did not have the right to inherit, the king's family had great achievements. They could enfeoff the other sons as dukes, counts, etc., own a piece of their own territory and continue to enjoy their own happiness. The great nobles such as the dukes and earls had a large territory enough, and could also share some meat for other sons to eat...

The little nobles were in trouble. Their family had very little territory, which was only enough for the eldest son's family to live. If they were given some more to their younger brothers, they would have to drink the northwest wind. For example, the 1,200 acres of thin land in the Hoffman family had a small output, which was a little bit of effort to support the eldest son's family (not only for food, but also for food, to feed the war horses, purchase and repair weapons and armor, etc., and to support the servants, which was very expensive). It would be difficult to afford to raise Marin Hoffman and several younger brothers and sisters.

Therefore, the smallest feudal lords in the German region, the knights, were forced to make a decision. After the sons other than the eldest son became adults, they gave him a war horse, a set of armor and a rifle, so that he could make a living by himself. As for his daughter, some poor nobles even sent their daughters to the monastery to be nuns in order to save their dowry.

Generally speaking, the children of these knights who were driven out all chose to surrender to the great nobles, such as being the guards of the great nobles, fighting for the great feudal lords, etc.

Of course, not every knight who was kicked out of the house has a good opportunity to appreciate his great noble employer. Many knights who could not find a job had to wander around and look for opportunities to be temporarily hired. So, a new group emerged - the Wandering Knight.

These wandering knights have been born in a knight family since childhood. They have received strict martial arts training since childhood. The effort they put in is very good. One fights two or three ordinary strong men is definitely not a problem. Some strong men can fight a group of robbers one by one.

In fact, these wandering knights were the earliest mercenaries. However, they were all scattered people, seeking opportunities to serve the great nobles and rich people in the name of individuals, and did not form a group.

It was not until a few years ago that the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, after seeing the powerful combat power of the Swiss mercenary group composed of Swiss mountain people in the war in the Burgundy region, that he began to recruit mercenaries in the German rule. It was during this period that the famous German mercenaries began to appear officially.

(Note: The Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I was not crowned by the Pope in Rome until 1508, and officially became the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Before this, Maximilian I was actually a self-proclaimed, and only the people of the Shinro Empire recognized it. Without the crowning of the Pope, foreigners only recognized Maximilian I as the German king. However, in 1508, Pope Julius II not only officially crowned Maximilian I, but also allowed the Holy Roman Empire emperors to come to Rome to crown themselves.)

It is now 1494, and it was the time when Emperor Maximilian I recruited troops to prepare for war. Marin Hoffman's father, Flins Hoffman, had heard that the emperor recruited mercenaries (Maximilian I had recruited a group in 1487), decided to drive his second son, Marin Hoffman, who was only 16 years old, out of the house and ordered him to join the emperor and become the emperor's mercenary.

Originally, according to tradition, Marin had to wait until he was 18 years old before he was kicked out of the house. But the old Hoffman felt that the emperor had a rare opportunity to recruit people. If he made military achievements, he might have a noble title and a fiefdom. Therefore, he decided to let Marin surrender early.

However, he overestimated his second son's experience in the martial arts world. Not long after he left home, the original 10 gold coins of travel expenses on Marin Hoffman were deceived by a liar who claimed to know the emperor...

Then, poor Marin Hoffman had no money to stay in a hotel or eat. In desperation, he had to ride a horse to hunt in the wild. As soon as the prey's meat could fill the hunger, and the prey's fur could be exchanged for some money for travel expenses.

However, Marin Hoffman is a knight, not a hunter. So, Little Marin cannot capture any prey. Can you imagine a heavy armored knight carrying heavy armor, holding a knight's spear, chasing and poking a running little rabbit?

Carrying heavy armor itself will reduce the speed and sensitivity of the horses. Where can I catch up with those wild animals? All the slow-running wild animals have long been hunted.

And whether Xiao Malin has a crossbow or not, he doesn't know how to shoot arrows. Therefore, he could only continue riding a horse and chasing animals while hungry...
