Chapter 29: Nasty Allegiance Pledge


Although it is only a residual formation, Marin must play flowers, otherwise, with his background, it is difficult to be fancy. In order to be fancy, Marin changed his name from Marin Huffman to Marin von Huffman. Because, at this time, Europe attaches great importance to origin. "Von" is only found in the names of German nobles, and at least hereditary nobles.
And the general knight family will not add the word "Feng" in the name. Only the hereditary baron family began to add the word "Feng" to the name. But there are also a small number of knights who arrogantly add the word "Feng" to their names.
The so-called "Feng" is actually to indicate his source, just like the Chinese say "I come from the Lang family Wang Lang, Boling Cui family, Longxi Li family" and so on. Generally speaking, the surnames behind Feng are noble titles, family names, or place names, indicating their origins.
For example, "von Hohenzollern" indicates that you are from the Hohenzollern family. And "von Neumann" indicates that it came from the Neumann family. There are also geographical names, such as William II was called "William von Hohenzollern" (omitted in the middle) when he was the prince. When he became king of Prussia, he changed it to "William von Prussia" After the emperor of the German Empire, it was changed to "William von German".
He Marin calls himself "Marin von Huffman" and obviously belongs to Yue Yue. Because Huffman Estates is not hereditary. However, no one in the empire has done it this way. Moreover, in this era, there is no online inquiry for identity cards, and information exchange is not smooth. Why don't I add the word "Feng" in my name, do you bite me? You have the ability to check ...
Moreover, if he does not add the word "Feng" in his name, it is estimated that the officials responsible for recruiting soldiers will not necessarily ignore him. Because in Europe at this time, everyone used to think that only nobles were eligible to be officers. This rule lasted until the 19th century. British star Wellington once relied on his aristocratic status and became an officer directly. He also paid for a colonel.
In addition to careful consideration in the name, Marin also spent a little time on the residual array. In addition to the previous tactical training and queue training, Marin also practiced a beautiful line array steering.
Specifically, the enemies did not directly confront themselves with this line array, but instead detoured to the side. What to do at this time? Marin used the two middlemost pikemen as the axis, and the entire team, "want to go to the right to align," and using them as a reference, began to turn clockwise or counterclockwise. The outermost step is larger, the inner step is smaller, and synchronous turning is achieved ... Finally, the entire queue is turning at a faster speed at the same time.
In fact, on the battlefield, there is more than one line array at all, often many line arrays are distributed in a fan shape or other shapes. Generally, the flanks of the military will also arrange special line arrays to deal with it. Therefore, there is no need to face the enemy's line array steering at all.
But Marin's original intention was not to fight, but to attract the attention of the boss. So, he played like this, and his performance was more than practical. Who has the mood to use this kind of performance-oriented turn when it comes to fighting? Simple and practical is the truth.
In addition, Marin also made another more practical transformation matrix-hollow square matrix ...
This is assuming that this line array is surrounded by itself-especially if it is surrounded by cavalry, it is definitely a death hunt to keep the line array. Therefore, in this case, Marin will keep the middle 10 rows still, and the person on the side starts, and the left and right columns are close to the middle. When the archer moves first, he runs quickly and runs to the back. Make up the back side. The 10 columns on each side move quickly to form the left and right columns of the square.
At this point, the spearmen are facing the four directions, the first row of squats squat, and the second row of spears resting on the shoulders of the first row of spearmen. And the archer, in the middle of the hollow square array, shot through the gap and shot those who surrounded the square array.
At this time, the hollow square matrix protects itself like a hedgehog. If the charge is strong, the casualties will be severe. In addition, the archer in the middle of the hollow square array can choose which side of the enemy is closer to him according to the situation. As long as it is within 100 meters, it is within the range of the archer.
Speaking of which, these two changes are actually quite demanding. But the 100 mercenaries who had been abused by Marin for more than a month were already a little numb, and everyone became a little mechanical. Therefore, they actually completed two changes. Of course, it can only be done without the interference of foreign enemies. It is up to God to meet the real enemy.
Of course, it is also because they are few. There are only 100 people in total. Changing the formation is of course simple. It wouldn't be so easy if you changed to 1,000 people. However, even 1000 people can do it as long as they get home. It just takes a lot longer.
After solving the problem of fake names and changing formations, Marin began to consider the issue of dress. His 100 mercenaries were wearing a variety of clothes. Although not as fancy as real mercenaries, they have begun to learn the fancy clothes of real mercenaries.
To be honest, Marin would like to customize a beautiful military uniform for each of these two goods. Because, neatly dressed, can also give a deep impression. However, now that clothes are too expensive, Marin himself is too poor. So he had to give up the idea.
Eventually, Marin thought about it and thought of a very economical way—get everyone a white cloth, cut it in half, and sew it into a white vest that saves more cloth. This vest is cheaper because it uses less material and is easier to work with only 8 Finnies per piece. Then Marin brought in ink and drew a black cross in front of each white vest. Originally, Marin wanted to draw the iron cross used by the Second and Third Reiches. But the iron cross is a bit cumbersome to draw, and it is difficult to be the same. Later, in order to save trouble, Marin directly referred to the square red cross that was the easiest to draw in later hospitals, and drew a square black cross ...
看到 When he saw the 100th person in a neat queue, each of them wore a white vest with a square black cross on his chest, and Marin wanted to laugh. Because, he felt that the No. 100 person in front of him looked like a temporary medical staff in the hospital. However, this looks much more neat than before. At least, this is like an army, not a gang of black people ...
After a while, Marin began to think about other tricks ...
In order to be rich and rich, Marin couldn't care less. Anyway, he can do whatever he likes. If he stays in Daming, he is bound to be called a courtier ...
Marin learned that Emperor Maximilian I was more vain. For example, in 1490, he had the first Empire mercenaries to swore allegiance to him collectively. In fact, most of the mercenaries are for money. Who is really dedicated to your poor emperor? Not much money. However, Maximilian I loved this formalism, and everyone couldn't help it. And, in the Middle Ages, the oath of allegiance was indeed a little bit binding, for those who kept their promises.
既然 "Since you like this tone, then brother will play flowers!" Marin said.
Then, he began to recall the oaths he had seen in previous lives, such as the oath of joining the party, the oath of joining the party, etc ...
But I chose to choose, and in the end, I found that the most flirtatious thing is that a certain version of the Third Empire SS on the Internet swore allegiance to Hitler ...
The oath goes like this:
"I honor my life as a brave and loyal SS soldier,
Every comrade in arms is my brother, regardless of my origin or status,
He swore allegiance to the head of state!
The will of the head of state is above all else!
The order of the head of state,
Above all truth and law!
Hey, Hitler! "
This oath is said to have been made by Himmler, the third imperial fart, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is not only extremely charming, but also very touching (mainly the first two sentences).
Marin thought about it, and modified this oath to become:
"I honor my life as a brave and loyal Holy Roman Empire soldier,
Every comrade in arms is my brother, regardless of my origin or status,
I swear allegiance to the emperor!
The emperor's will is above all else!
The order of the emperor, (this sentence was said by the officer, the original was said by Himmler, and naturally it was Marin)
Above all truth and law! (Soldier collective cry)
Hey, Holy Rome! (Keep shouting) "
马 When Marin released such a big move, everyone was enthusiastic. Cultured people, including Schwartz, were deeply infected and shouted with everyone.
"Nima, the pattern of the head is Niubi. This group of grandsons are like chicken blood. No wonder the Germans of World War II dared to challenge the whole world, and their feelings are all overwhelmed!" Marin thought silently. On the surface, however, he also shouted inexorably with the soldiers. Acting, who can't? Anyway, Marin felt that he must act like a super loyal minister, like an emperor's brain powder ... At that time, the emperor would send himself a little golden person, preferably 24K pure gold. Then, I can sell it for myself ...
To this end, Marin practiced a long expression, trying to transfer all his loyalty and enthusiasm to his face, letting people know at a glance. If future generations see Marin's expression at this moment, he will definitely swear-snake disease, you think you are Liang Yifeng, the expression is so ecstatic ...
