The Rise of the European Emperor

Soon, Scheer found a group of serfs from nearby who were good at breeding animals. But Marin knew that the proportion of bulls brought back this time was a bit high. Because one bull can bred multiple cows, just so many bulls are not needed.

So Marin asked Kohler to send someone to take 30 males and oxen and take them to the cattle farm near Aurich to breed with the cows produced by the Crimean Khanate.

Moreover, Marin ordered that once the beef of the mixed breed of Wagyu slaughtered in the future is marbled, then the beef tenderloin, which is similar to its compatriots, should be stopped from slaughtering and reserved for breeding. In this way, good beef cattle can also be selected.

Because, Marin knew, the wagyu of this era was not as good as the wagyu of later generations. After all, Wagyu has not been optimally bred. It can only be said that the breed of Wagyu is better. However, it would be an exaggeration to say that the current Wagyu is far superior to other beef cattle breeds. At most, it is a little better than other beef cattle, but the gap is not big at present.

In addition, it should be pointed out that wagyu is delicious, and the practice is limited. The marbling of Wagyu beef, that is, when it comes to steak, is far superior to other beef. , If you use a very earthy potato roast beef and the like, Wagyu beef may not be better than other beef. Because the fat on the marbling would be meaningless in a simmering way. Only when cooking medium-rare steaks do those fats melt in your mouth. If it was teriyaki, the marbling would have been boiled long ago, so it doesn't really matter whether it's Wagyu beef or not.

It is precisely because of the difference in cooking techniques that later generations of Europeans and Americans classify beef, but China does not. Because of the beef practice in Huaxia, it is difficult to distinguish the beef grade.

But Marin's cooking method of pan-frying steaks with olive oil has been popularized in Europe and has quickly become popular across Europe. Therefore, in Europe, marbled beef will still be popular. Even, marbled pork is welcome. Because Europeans also fry pork chops. For Chinese people who eat Chinese food, the practice of looking at the marble pattern is actually very beautiful and necessary. Anyway, after a fierce stir-fry or a blazing fire, those marble patterns have long been melted. What kind of marbled "high-quality meat" was admired by the Chinese people in later generations, it was purely foreign. You don't eat pan-fried steak and pan-fried pork chops, and marbling doesn't really matter. Because the marble pattern is actually just scattered fat...

So, if you can't eat "good beef" or the benefits of dry red wine, don't doubt yourself low-end. In fact, many people compliment what marbled meat is delicious or bitter dry red wine is delicious, which is purely pretentious. Anyway, foreigners say yes, some people will feel that they are not "international" enough if they don't say yes... If someone makes stir-fried or boiled Chinese food and thinks that marbled meat is better than ordinary meat, don't guess, yes, The other party doesn't understand the pretense... and when he entered the bar and shouted about Lafite in 1982, it must be a nouveau riche who has watched a lot of Hong Kong movies and is forcing the pretense...

...

the next day,

Marin returned to the secret courtyard outside the Aurich Palace. He didn't dare to stop at Wilhelmshaven. If he had a few more rounds with Wu Ji, who was comparable to the 4 judo champions, Marin would probably suffer from kidney failure.

After returning to Aurich, Marin not only ate a few stewed bullwhips, but also ate kidney noodles every morning and night to make up for it.

On this day, Marin was eating kidney noodles, when Kohler suddenly came to report and asked Marin what to do with the 5,000 Cossacks on Jutland...

"What? 5,000 Cossacks? How come there are so many?" Marin was also surprised when he heard this number. You know, 500 cavalry can be organized into a cavalry regiment. 5000 Cossack cavalry can be organized into 10 cavalry regiments, which is equivalent to a full cavalry division. In wartime, 5,000 cavalry could be counted as two cavalry divisions because cavalry casualties were high and it was difficult to replenish.

Kohler flipped through the information and reported:

"That's right. After you went to the Ming Empire in the East, we didn't stop recruiting Cossacks on the Eastern European prairie. Those Cossacks had very simple requirements. They could give half a pound of shochu every day, plus enough food and clothing for the whole family. Willing to die for us."

"So, the military supplies of these Cossacks are very strange - in addition to food and grass equipment, they also need a lot of half-pound shochu..."

Malin suddenly laughed, unexpectedly, these Cossacks are so alcoholics. Fortunately, Beihai country has a high grain output and can brew a lot of shochu. Otherwise, there is really no way to raise these alcoholics.

But soon, Marin asked suspiciously:

"I remember that there were German Cossacks in the Cossack villages. Do they also like to drink spirits?"

Kohler nodded and replied:

"Yes, many German Cossacks were also misled by these authentic Cossack drunkards. You let those German boys learn to fight on horseback with those Cossacks, and as a result, they not only learned the Cossack riding and horse fighting skills, but many also Addicted to spirits..."

Marlin was speechless for a while, learning the good and not learning the bad. However, this is also one of the inferiority of human beings - it is easy to learn badly and difficult to learn well...

Through Kohler's detailed introduction, Marin knew that these 5,000 Cossacks were not all authentic Eastern European Cossacks, but included 1,500 German Cossacks. Moreover, the main commanders of these Cossacks were also German Cossacks. So, Marin still has some control over this team.

In fact, Marin never thought of letting these Cossack light cavalry take the initiative to attack the enemy's spear formation - it was no different from courting death.

However, these people are extremely powerful in destroying the logistics of the enemy country.

According to Kohler's account, these German Cossacks not only learned to drink spirits, but also gradually adapted to the life of bringing a batch of milk-producing mares as rations. If they each lead a long-distance raid with three horses, including a batch of milking mares, they can achieve great results.

Well, Marin is about to go to war. So, he quickly ordered - the 5,000 Cossacks were organized into 10 cavalry regiments. Then, another Cossack cavalry regiment was established, and the regiment commander let the commander of the 1st Cossack Cavalry Regiment temporarily act. Marin looked at the file. The name of the head of the First Cossack Cavalry Regiment seemed to be Alsace...

"Let me go, the Lich King has become the commander of my cavalry?" Marlin suddenly danced. He remembered that in the World of Warcraft he used to play in his previous life, the name of the Lich King was Arthas. However, that guy is not a light cavalry, but a death knight... Well, both are from the mixed cavalry world, and both have yards (horses)...

After reading the detailed information, Marin realized that it turned out that this German Cossack named Alsace was originally a serf who was responsible for raising horses in the Alsace region. His parents, who were also serfs, didn't know how to take names, so they simply took place names as names. Later, in a natural disaster, the owner of the manor he was in went bankrupt, and he had to leave the manor to beg until he was recruited by Marin and sent to the Cossack village in Jutland...

Because he was a serf who raised horses, Alsace was very adaptable to life on horseback, and then he stood out in a German Cossack, mixed into the commander of the 1st Cossack Cavalry Regiment, and luckily became the acting commander of the Cossack Cavalry Corps (Marin's subordinates really don't have any talents who know how to command light cavalry, and now he is not willing to recruit wandering knights easily, so he is cheap)...
