The Rise of the European Emperor

It's obviously a wise decision to poke those Cossacks who follow the trend. At least, these Cossacks are more obedient ⌒ 100 German Cossacks gave them a demonstration, and they were still willing to learn the rules.

Speaking of which, these Cossacks were born horse bandits on the grasslands, and their personal combat effectiveness was very good. However, the discipline is very poor. So Marlin doesn't need to train their individual abilities at all, just their discipline. As long as the discipline is good, the combat effectiveness of those Cossacks will be multiplied.

For these Cossacks, Marin is still more precious. In order to reduce their casualties in the conflict with the native Indians, Malint ordered each of them to be ordered with chain mail with good protection. Although chain armor is not as protective as plate armor, it is much lighter than plate armor and is suitable for light cavalry such as Cossacks. Faced with the backward weapons of the native Indians, chain mail is enough to protect the safety of the Cossacks.

As for the saber, the old high-carbon steel saber-like weapon is always used, which is absolutely enough to deal with the indigenous Indians in Argentina. Because the Indians on the Argentine grasslands are still using stone tools at this time, and they do not have metal weapons. Even the most powerful Yu Empire in South America, the weapons of their armies are only wooden clubs, stone axes, javelins, spears, bows and slingshots. Also, the heads of spears and bows are stone tools. That's why Marin was confident that those Cossacks wearing chain mail would be able to resist the attacks of the natives.

In addition, Marin will also equip the Cossacks with some common cavalry bows and arrows. It's best if you can shoot and kill some enemies without touching them. Moreover, the shooting before the charge can damage the morale of the enemy.” Anyway, the quality of European bows and arrows must be stronger than those of the indigenous stone-level soil bows and arrows. Even if the Cossacks are not good at archery, it is okay to let them shoot a few arrows indiscriminately to scare off opponents. What's more, bows and arrows can also be used for hunting at ordinary times.

In order to maintain the supply of these Cossack cavalry, Marin allocated all the 5,000 Eastern European Mongolian horse mares purchased from Jamahan to them⌒ The milk produced by these 5,000 mares, their staple food is . Ma's milk is ready to drink when cooked, or made into yogurt or cheese, whatever you want. And with bows and arrows, they can also shoot some wild animals in the pampas for meat.

In addition, there will be several fishing boats in the settlement area of ​​the estuary of the La Plata River, which will bring out fish as food supplements. When the farmland in the reclamation area is reclaimed, the Cossacks can not only obtain food supplies, but also vegetables.

After training for a period of time, Marin told the Cossacks the task of attacking and annexing the backward indigenous tribes on the Pampas steppe.

There was nothing wrong with the 100 German Cossacks in Marin, because they were used to obeying orders. However, the 400 genuine Eastern European Cossacks were lost.

A confused young Zaporozhye Cossack asked Marin through an interpreter:

"Master, you said that the natives of the Wild Continent want nothing and are poorer than our Cossacks. What can we get by robbing them? What's the point of doing so?"

The Cossacks were a group of robbers who attacked other tribes and always wanted their belongings. However, according to Marin, the natives of the "Wild Continent" are very backward, like savages, and they don't even have metal weapons. Those Zaporozhye Cossacks don't understand a little - why are they robbing such poor people?

Marin was also a little stunned by the question--yes, what is the reason for grabbing a poor ratio? The ancient northern grassland nomads went south to rob the Central Plains Dynasty because the Central Plains Dynasty was the richest in the world and was worth looting. But let these Cossacks rob the indigenous South American Indians who are still primitive people, what exactly are they trying to do?

Of course, for Marin, it must be the map. However, the same cannot be said for the Cossacks. After all, the site was seized and not given to them.

But if they didn't arouse their desire to rob, they would have little incentive to attack the native Indians.

But, compared with the poorness of the native Indians, what is there for the Cossacks to contrive? Without a good excuse, it will affect the enthusiasm of those Cossacks to expand

However, after thinking about it, Marin couldn't think of anything worth grabbing from a group of Indian primitives.

"By the way, population!"

Marin suddenly remembered that historically, when the nomads in northern China went south to loot, they not only robbed property, but also people.

Why do nomads rob people? This starts with the characteristics of the grassland peoples. In the northern prairie, national renewal is very fast. Before the Mongolians occupied the grasslands, there were Huns, Donghus, Xianbei, Rourans, Turks, and Khitans on the grasslands. You sang, I came on stage, like a revolving lantern.

And how did these nomads emerge? It is obviously too slow to reproduce and reproduce by oneself. Therefore, these rising tribes often like to attack other tribes. Except for those tribes who took the initiative to vote, for those hostile tribes, the nomads have no tolerance for their flaws-they will kill the men above the wheel height, leaving only the under women and filial piety

With women, they could force the captive women to bear children for them, increasing the tribal population. And filial piety, when grown up, can also serve as the fighting force of the tribe.

For those ancient grassland peoples, women and filial piety are the cornerstones of the tribe's growth. Even if the tribe starts with only a few hundred men, as long as it grabs a few thousand women, there will be thousands more children the following year.

Men and women are different. No matter how many men a woman has, she may be the only one who has children. Even if she sleeps with a hundred men, she can only conceive one child a year. But if a man has 100 women, within a year, all 100 women can have children.

Therefore, the secret of the rapid growth of those grassland peoples is to grab enough women and make them pregnant. At the same time, it also robs those children who are not yet sensible and trains the successors of this tribe.

As long as enough women and filial piety are grabbed, a tribe will grow, but it only takes a few decades. And this is Chiguoguo's Law of the Grassland and Jungle - which tribe has enough martial arts and enough women and filial piety, it can grow rapidly

However, such a steppe jungle law does not apply in Europe. Because Christianity stipulates that a man can only have one wife

In Europe, only children born in wedlock are considered human. As for what kind of illegitimate children, even the illegitimate children of nobles, have little status, and they will be ridiculed, and they have no right of inheritance.

Of course, Europe is a farming society, the social environment is stable, and monogamy can be implemented smoothly. And on the grasslands where the killings are endless, people have only one wife, which simply kills the lives of those tribes. Moreover, even if they don't rob women of other tribes, the death rate of men is very high in the grasslands where there are many conflicts like dog hair.

In Beihai Kingdom, Marin definitely did not dare to openly ask men to marry more women, because it violated the canon. However, in the remote pampas of South America, Marin is adventurous.

So Marin asked the translator to tell the Ukrainian Cossacks:

"If you take down the tribes of the natives, women will choose whatever they want, and if they give birth to children, they will also have the right to land!"

"What?" The Cossacks were stunned.

Strictly speaking, most of the Ukrainian Cossacks were originally Orthodox Christians. The Orthodox Church is also a branch of Christianity and is also monogamous. For Marin's statement, they also had a hard time accepting. Only a few Tatars, accustomed to this pattern, did not care, but were rather interested

Marin asked the translator to add:

"Of course, a wife can only marry one. However, illegitimate children also have the right to share the land. After all, there is a lot of land over there, and the government can help you raise the children."

Having said that clearly, of course the Cossacks understood what Marin meant—yes, they burst into cheers.

For these Cossacks, it is nothing more than the word "wine color". Also, I hope there will be descendants. Marin allows them to snatch women as mistresses, and also helps them raise illegitimate children. This is very attractive.

Then, this group of Cossack villains was ignited with enthusiasm, full of visions of the pampas

Seeing that these villains' enthusiasm for conquest was ignited, Marin nodded with satisfaction - the expansion plan of the Pampas grassland is now stable.
