In the evening, when everyone set up camp, Sauer returned, and brought back a message that shocked Marin-at 10 am tomorrow, the emperor visited the recruiting point of the South Gate to inspect the recruitment situation.
Marin was instantly excited. Emperor, although he is a poor ghost emperor and cannot give you money, it is a matter of giving you identity. Moreover, if recruited by the emperor, it can actually give you money, although it is only a low salary.
一 大 In the early morning of the next day, Marin set off for the whole team and went to the south gate of Vienna to stay at the emperor. However, because the emperor was going on a tour. Upon arriving outside the South Gate, Marin's weapons were temporarily seized even if they showed the Huffman mercenary regiment's legal certificate.
Because, unlike those scattered soldiers, Marin is a hundred people. If they continue to hold weapons, they may be able to assassinate the emperor.
Not only that, the Vienna Garrison also mobilized 50 heavily armed cavalry to monitor the Huffman mercenary regiment in preparation for their actions against the emperor.
I do n’t care about Marin. Anyway, he did n’t really come to assassinate the emperor, but to please the emperor. He had all the members of the Huffman mercenary regiment line up in a neat line along the avenue. Beside him, there were 50 Vienna cavalry who looked at each other with dear eyes.
At this time, it was already around 9 o'clock in the morning. Marin carried a "pocket watch" about the size of an alarm clock and told him it was 9 am.
Speaking of them, these years, pocket watches really pit. Marin went on to buy a pocket watch in high spirits, but instead bought a "pocket watch" that was about the same size as the alarm clock that he used to wake up when he was a kid. Although clockwork has begun to be used, it is not yet small due to technical conditions. It is said that some skilled artisans can make the "Bai Zhong" smaller. But obviously, there are no such artisans in Austria. It seems that powerful artisans are in Nuremberg and Cologne. As for the origin of later watches, Switzerland, this watch industry has not yet developed. It seems that until Calvin, the founder of Christian Calvinism, banned wearing jewelry in Switzerland, Swiss talents wondered how to make clocks into exquisite wear accessories. Then came the famous Swiss watches. However, that will be decades later.
Marin chose a better location, next to the avenue next to the recruiting square outside the south gate of Vienna. The emperor must pass through to enter the recruit square. Such a good location, of course, many people want to occupy. However, Marin has 100 fierce thugs in his hands, and those who are scattered and brave can't afford to mess with them. However, it is precisely because they occupy such a good position that raises the doubts of recruiters. Therefore, the Recruitment Department put 50 cavalry here, on the one hand, to protect the safety of the emperor when passing, and on the other, to monitor the Marin group.
10 At 10 o'clock in the morning, the emperor's travel team really appeared outside the South Gate. The emperor came in a horse-drawn carriage, but all the horse-riding carriages around him were tall German horsemen, each wearing plate armor. If you want to assassinate the emperor, you have to pass through the surrounding Iron Man Wall first.
When the emperor puppet arrived at the square, the square suddenly boiled. Thousands of people were all agitated. Many people started yelling, trying to get the emperor's attention:
"Long live, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live the Holy Roman Empire!"
"I'm Joel!"
"I'm Hanson!"
"I……"
Uh ...
When the emperor's convoy passed near Marin, Marin suddenly raised his right hand forward and performed an ancient Roman military ceremony similar to the Nazi military ceremony. Then he shouted:
"Hi, Holy Rome!"
As soon as he saw his head moved, more than 100 little brothers in white vests on the side, immediately stretched out his right hand, performed the Roman military salute, and shouted together:
"Hi, Holy Rome!"
The movement of the Huffman mercenary regiment scared 50 cavalry on the side, and they took out their sabers, just like the enemy. Even the knights guarding the emperor also took out the knight sword and wanted to escort.
But they soon discovered that it was just a team of boys in white vests on the roadside saluting the emperor. So they were relieved.
However, the marvelous movements and sounds of more than 100 people like Marin are really remarkable. Even Emperor Maximilian I in the carriage, curiously looking through the window of the carriage, watching the more than 100 standing men on the side of the road, still marching ...
"Nice military appearance, which unit is this? Looks very sharp!" Maximilian I asked Frederick II, Earl of Hohenzollern, who was riding with him on the side.
伯 Earl Frederick certainly didn't know, so he shrugged:
"Who knows, he hasn't seen or heard him."
Uh ...
After a while, the emperor came to the platform in the middle of the square and boarded it, making a few sounding speeches. Later, Count Hohenzollern announced that the selection had officially started (today, the emperor had specially waited for the selection to begin).
After a while, the whole square was in a commotion. Everyone went in line as required.
Take a look at Marin:
靠 "Fuck, we're a little far from where we line up ..."
He thought for a while and decided to cut the line ... And, it was the overall cut ...
Then, he waved his hand and began to command the team to cut the line together. However, they queued in a neat queue, often arrogant ...
"Walk in steps, 1-1-121, 1-1-121 ..."
Then, all members of the Huffman Mercenary Regiment, taking neat steps, walked from the side to the front of the team. Marin had given the death order at first--without his order, he did not stop, and the sword and fire in front of him also continued to move forward ...
Then, under Marin's 105 commanders, under the command of Marin, he struck the front of the crowd arrogantly, striding extremely neatly to outsiders ...
"Where is this guy? I do n’t understand the rules so much?" Count Hohenzollern was a little displeased and planned to send someone to drive Marin out. But the emperor seemed interested in them and stopped the count.
Those who have been lining up to take good pictures will naturally be unwilling to be squeezed away. However, Marin, the 100th person, didn't seem to see them, looking forward, still moving forward, and striding forward.
In the end, under the powerful momentum of No. 100 Marin, they chose to give in ...
After entering the team, Marin shouted:
"Stand!"
Then,
唰
was heard, and the 100th person stopped suddenly and neatly. Then Marin called again:
"turn right!"
All members of the Huffman mercenary regiment turned neatly to the right, facing forward, with no expression on their faces, and no messy look.
"It's ... disciplined!"
"If you are disciplined, you won't be cut in line, or in the line ..." Count Frederick was speechless. Did you use a neat queue to cut the line to show that your team is disciplined? Strict discipline, are you still in line? Count Hohenzollern didn't want to say anything at this time ...
对 "Well, Frederick, this team is here to apply? Why such a strong team, instead of contacting you directly, came to participate in the selection?"
也许 "Maybe, their leader can't get in touch with me ..." Frederick was also uncertain. Although annoyed by this team's irregularities, he also had to admit that, from a disciplinary perspective, this small team is definitely top-notch. At least, better than most German armies.
Suddenly the emperor and the count did not expect it, Marin hadn't finished yet. After grabbing someone's registration position, he didn't register immediately, but started to show. He raised his hand again, performed a Roman military salute, faced the platform where the emperor was, and shouted:
"All members of the Huffman Mercenary Regiment, serving for the emperor. May my great Holy Roman Empire be invincible and invincible! Hey, Holy Rome!"
Then, 105 of his men were like conditioned reflexes, and they all stretched out their right hands, performed a Roman military salute, and shouted:
"Hi, Holy Rome!"
"Hi, Holy Rome!"
Next, Marin ignored the fact that the recruiters had not yet recruited themselves, but began to take an oath of allegiance to the emperor. I saw him facing the platform where the emperor was, raised his right hand, and began to swear:
"I glorify my life as a brave and loyal Holy Roman Empire soldier ..."
After the trance, all members of the Huffman Mercenary Regiment were conditioned and generally raised their right hands, palm forward, and swore in unison:
"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! "
Marin quickly connected:
"The Emperor's Order-"
"Beyond all truth and law! Hey, Holy Rome!" The soldiers shouted in unison.
Uh ...
All of a sudden, the people in the square were calmed down ~ EbookFREE.me ~ also stopped-where is this group of emperor brains?
The emperor Maximilian I, who was on the high stage, first hesitated for a while, then suddenly excited:
"Too good to say, the emperor's orders are higher than all truth and law ... What a delightful heart, what a delightful heart!" Which emperor does not want to say everything ...
Count Count Frederick, although he despised Marin and others for not wanting to be forced, but as the emperor's favorite, he could not tear down the emperor's platform. So he had to agree.
Suddenly, the emperor came in a whiff:
"Frederette, tell them, this oath 喜欢 likes to listen, let them take another oath, 朕 accept their allegiance!"
"do it again?"
"Yes! Do it again!"
"Why don't you take a look?"
"Is it necessary? Look at their queues and the appearance of the team, you know that this is a strong army!"
"Okay!" As the emperor's pet, Frederick knew that Marin, the group, was right. Her Majesty the Emperor seems to eat this set very much, and also likes this vow.
Then, Marin led 105 men (except for Kohler, who was looking at supplies and weapons), without blushing or beating, and swore to the emperor again before tens of thousands of people. The most exaggerated thing is that Marin looked at the emperor's eyes, full of enthusiasm, lived off a super loyal minister who dare to die for the emperor ...
Most of the onlookers were shocked, and big men like Count Frederick were slandered:
