Chapter 116: Pensions and shows

After purchasing the island and receiving the sheepskin certificate, Marin did not return directly, but instead diverted and went to the Principality of Wurttemberg.
What are you going to do? Marin lost his pension. A total of 42 people were wounded or killed during the Texel defence. Among them, 14 were killed on the spot, and 20 were seriously injured. In addition, five people were disabled and unable to continue serving as soldiers.
This is why Marin did not establish a comprehensive medical care system. When the fighting happened, Marin was in his hometown and later went to Switzerland. Therefore, the wounded on the island did not receive modern care under the guidance of Marin. All he could do was simply follow Marin's previous treatment in Italy, boil hot water and wrap the wound with boiled gauze. As for the specialized boiled medical equipment, as well as the alcohol used for disinfection, the island does not have all. This is because, in the last Italian war, Marin's forces had almost no casualties because of coincidence. Therefore, he also forgot to reform the military's medical care system.
Then when Marin returned to Texel Island, he learned that there were 42 casualties on the island, but only 3 people recovered. This upset him, but there was nothing he could do. No such convenient thing happened before, which caused him to not pay much attention. When something happened, Marin was reminded that modern battlefield medical treatment methods have not yet been implemented in his army.
After returning to Texel Island, Malindi formed a medical team. In fact, these members of the medical team are composed of former herders and are good at dealing with the injuries and injuries of livestock. In other words, the members of Marin's medical team are all vets with two knives ...
Under the guidance of Marin, these two knife veterinarians can barely handle some battlefield wounds. Not to mention that everyone can be saved. At least, the next battle will save half of the wounded's life. Unlike now, most of the injured will die ...
With 5 disabled persons, Marin has arranged very easy tasks, such as burning fires and guarding tasks, which are considered welfare. For the 34 dead, Marin intended to compensate.
Originally, Marin planned to pay 10 years of salary compensation, which is 182.5 gold coins, based on the standard of 3 fennies a day for mercenaries and 18.25 gold coins a year. This compensation standard is basically based on Marin's compensation standards for future generations.
Alas, Kohler strongly opposed it, and seemed to be frightened by Marin's plan. Because in this era, civilians were cheap, as long as mercenaries were not of noble origin, there was no claim of compensation. Even more, many mercenary generals also hacked the property left over by the mercenaries who died in the war instead of handing over to the families of the deceased. Marin asked for care, and in Kohler's view, it was simply a defeat. And care for 182 gold coins is simply the standard injustice ...
Marin was stunned, he also forgot, this era is a medieval life like grass and mustard. However, the man died under his command and no compensation was given. He couldn't get through this in his heart, and it was difficult to sleep comfortably. After consulting with a few people, Marin finally decided to give each deceased's family a compensation of 20 gold coins. In addition, Marin also plans to cremate the war dead and send his ashes to his hometown. The estate of the deceased was also handed over to his loved ones.
At first, no matter whether it was Kohler, Schwarz, or Fronzberg, they all opposed it. Because Marin treats ordinary mercenaries so well. But Marin insisted, because it was used by Marin to buy the mercenaries.
If others do n’t care, he cares for them, and returns the ashes and inheritance. This move may seem silly, but it can really move the hearts of ordinary mercenaries.
Mercenaries are different from ordinary soldiers. They serve as soldiers to earn money to support their families. However, the mercenary generals of that era were relatively unethical and did not take care of the families of the deceased. Therefore, many mercenaries are not brave enough to fight. It is not that they are timid and afraid of death, but that they are not taken care of by their family after death, and they cannot get any compensation.
Marin did so, although there was no guarantee for the family's future life. However, giving your family and 20 gold coins to your family can make your family feel better. As a result, many mercenaries have the bottom of their minds, and when they fight for Marin, they will not hesitate to die ...
Sure enough, Marin's move moved all the mercenaries at the bottom. Many grandfathers were moved by tears and even expressed in person that they were willing to die for Marin ...
Marin went to Innsbruck with 34 boxes of ashes and many relics. After talking to the emperor about buying the island, Marin took the men directly to Wurttemberg ...
In order to make a show, Marin went directly to Stuttgart, Württemberg's largest city. At the beginning, Marin recruited troops in Württemberg, and also in Stuttgart. Stuttgart is the largest city and capital of Württemberg, and also a place where Württemberg workers and mercenaries find opportunities. This place has a lot of people, which is very suitable for Marin to do propaganda.
In order to achieve the purpose of propaganda and show, Marin sent people to various places to take the family members of the 19 Württemberg soldiers who died in the army in a carriage to Württemberg's trade square.
These mercenaries who died in battle are basically young men in their 20s who have not yet married. Therefore, the people received were basically middle-aged couples, parents of these deceased.
In front of the crowd, Marin himself took off his hat to pay tribute and apologize to the families of the 19 soldiers, and loudly praised their sons for being brave and fearless, and being heroic and unyielding.
Then, under the arrangement of Marin, every two of his men, holding a small urn, took a low-speed forward step and slowly walked towards the corresponding family members. Outside each urn, I also learned the stalks of stars and stripes wrapped in old American movies, and a black cross flag ...
After sending the ashes, Marin also asked Kohler to come forward and send the package containing the personal relics to each pair of parents ...
In fact, there are not many relics of these dead mercenaries (mostly recruits, who were accidentally injured due to lack of armor). Because they were not mercenaries for a few months, they only paid 3 Finneys a day and did not have much legacy. However, Marin came to show. He wants to let others see and serve him as a soldier, the benefits are many. Therefore, in each package, things are full, most of which are subsidized by himself, making people hot.
马 When Marin finally took out a "hero certificate" and a pension of 20 gold coins, the onlookers were upset ...
In Stuttgart, it is not surprising that someone came to recruit mercenaries. Because the nearby mountain people often come to Stuttgart to find work, many people have become mercenaries.
However, the mercenaries died in battle, and no family has ever been compensated. Even their relics will be swallowed up by mercenary generals. As for the bones, God knows where they will be abandoned ...
Marin's approach ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is simply too low-value mercenaries. Many onlookers who wanted to be mercenaries suddenly felt that only in Marin did mercenaries live like individuals ... because their lives were respected ...
The "Certificate of Heroes" signed and issued by Marin himself made many Germans feel bloody. The battlefield is not terrible for people of this era. The frightening thing is that he died in battle and remains unknown.
The documents issued by Marlin, though not in accordance with the laws of the Empire, were only personal acts. But anyway, Marin was also a young hero of the Empire and was a baron. His affirmation is also very convincing.
He fought for Marin and was well known. Many onlookers are tempted ...
When Marin finished his show, many people surrounded Marin's team and asked if the Huffman mercenary group could not accept it ...
Marin's mouth showed a faint smile, he worked so hard to make such a big battle for a few dead soldiers, isn't it just for these living people who want to be soldiers?
I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, I am afraid of comparing goods. No other mercenary regiment claimed that there were no pensions, and the bones of the dead were not sent home, and there was no heroic proof. All that Marin did, made those mercenaries who felt that they were cheap, felt respect, care and attention. Adding a 20-gold pension and a large pack of relics makes people feel that it is very rich to follow Marin ... so many young people who originally planned to join other mercenary generals suddenly felt that the Huffman mercenary group It is their best choice to be a soldier ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Welcome the book readers to read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all in ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Mobile users please read.
