Chapter 76: Recruit cattle

George Franzberg, now in Swabian, and his cavalry father, is a heavy cavalry of the Swabian Alliance. The difference is that his father was a captive official knight and served as the squad leader. And because he was just a trainee knight, he could only serve as an ordinary heavy cavalry.
When the Italian war broke out, George Frentzberg's army did not go to Italy because of its responsibility to guard the Hungarians. Therefore, George Franzberg did not get a chance to participate in the war.
Originally, George Flenzberg had no big ambitions. His greatest wish was nothing more than being a formal knight.
However, the birth of Marin turned out a strong shock to George Franz Berg. Also a trainee knight, Marin is younger. However, relying on his martial arts achievements, Marin, who was only 17 years old, went from a trainee knight to a baron with territory.
This makes George Franzberg very unpleasant. He is 22 years old (age 1495), and he is far worse than a 17-year-old ...
However, he is not a proud man. George Flenzberg knew very well that he was already a qualified heavy cavalry, and he was in charge. However, speaking of commanding ability, he was a little blind. Even his father was nothing more than a cavalry captain with little experience in commanding a larger army. And those senior commanders are high-ranking nobles, and they don't bother to waste time to guide such a young trainee knight.
I happen to have a trainee knight from his hometown who participated in the Italian War and met Marin. According to the fellow knight, the new Baron Marin is a good-tempered boy.
As a result, George Franzberg had the idea to visit Marin ...
Originally, there was another conflict between Austria and Hungary in 1496. However, the presence of Marin caused the prestige of Maximilian I to shock the Hungarians. Therefore, the Hungarians did not dare to act lightly. And Maximilian I, because of financial reasons (mainly ransom has not been received), did not have the financial resources to fight Hungary.
So, it became very calm in 1496. George Flenzberg, seeing nothing in the army, asked his father to take a vacation for him, and decided to take a trip to Texel and visit Marin. If there is an opportunity, he would like to ask for advice.
The old Frenzberg naturally hoped that his son would be successful, and the son is now visiting the most promising young people in the empire in order to be more successful. How could he object? As a result, the old Frenzberger took a long vacation for his son and let his son do the business ...
With lingering feelings, George Frenzberg ran alone with two horses from Swabian to Den Burg on Texel Island, and asked to meet Marin.
In the Middle Ages of Europe, the social hierarchy was so strict that it was impossible for civilians to visit the nobility. Only a ready aristocrat like a trainee knight is eligible to see a baron like Marin. And, if you don't see it, you have to see Marin's mood. Unless, it is a formal knight visit, because it is a nobleman, Marin needs to entertain. Whether a trainee knight like Frentzberg can see Marin is still unknown.
Marin, because of the failure to recruit the trainee knights before, did not intend to entertain. However, after hearing the name, he jumped up immediately and decided to meet immediately, using high manners ...
马 When Marin personally greeted the castle door and warmly greeted George Frenzberg, George Frenzberg's face was aggressive-what's the situation? The opponent is a baron. How could he be so enthusiastic about a little probation knight like me? Under normal circumstances, a baron like Marin only needs to sit in the castle and wait for Frenzberg to meet, there is no need to greet the door ...
当然 Of course he didn't know that Marin was following him. Before going out, Marin had already planned. Since Frentzberg would later become the emperor's puppet, it would be better to solicit it first. Anyway, those who belong to the emperor group will inevitably continue to fight for the emperor in the future. If you invite Frenzberger's "brother", let him, in his own name, lead troops to fight the emperor. Then, you don't have to kill yourself for the emperor yourself. And Fronzberg led troops to fight the emperor, which did not affect his early life, but also helped Marin accumulate merit.
To be more specific, it is that Frenzberger brought his own soldiers to help the emperor, and as the direct boss of Frenzberger, the credit must not be lost. Just like Marin did great work last time, even Count Alfred received great rewards (it is said to have rewarded a fiefdom, while Count Alfred was just a Countless court prince). But at the same time, if Frentzberg made a great contribution to the emperor's character, he would not give up to win him. There are no fewer senior officials, or Frentzberg.
Originally, Frenzberg did well in the Swabian War, and was valued by Maximilian I. When Flenzberg participated in the Swabian War, he was only a trainee knight, just a squadron-level officer. But when Maximilian I began to appreciate him, he first awarded him the title of nobleman in 1504, and then found a way to make him the great lord of Mindelheim-as for the title, I do n’t know, because Frentz After the death of the grandson of Berg, their family was in ruins. However, later generations had the noble title of Prince Mindelheim. It seems that this title should be no less than the count ...
In other words, this guy Marin has in his heart an evil plan to allow Frentzberger, a "brother," to work for the emperor for a long time in his name ... According to this plan, all the achievements of Frentzberger are obtained To be separated from Marin, because Marin is his boss ...
Frenzberg was still aggressive at this time, although on the surface he was a few years older than Marin, but his heart was-oh, not to mention ...
With only 10% of Uncle Benshan's skill, Marlin turned the young Fronzberge out of sight ...
"George, can you call me like this?" Marin kindly took Frentzberger's hand to lead him to his seat. People in the Middle Ages did not engage in the foundation, which was caused by the lack of women after immigrating to the New World. Therefore, Marin is so intimate, he will not scare people ...
可以 "Yes, yes, Lord Baron can be so humble, it's an honor!"
呵 "Oh, I look at you, I think you are special. I don't know why, I always have a feeling that you will become a great general in the future ..." Marin began to flicker again.
哪 "Where ... where ... Lord Baron is too much love ..." The younger Franz Berg was a little shy. In particular, he was praised face-to-face by his idols. Just like a fanatic in the next generation, seeing Liu Tianwang, was praised by Tianwang "you will definitely be redder than me" ...
"No, no, no, I am optimistic about you."
"I……"
是 "That's it, George, I've recently been thinking about a new, powerful infantry square ..."
"It's better than you to defeat the Phalanx of the French King in Italy?" Frenzberg asked admiringly.
Marin's square, Frenzberg knows, the spear array plus 100 archers, this is what his fellow countrymen said.
"It's much better than that. My previous Phalanx was dedicated to playing the Swiss Spearmen. When encountering the Cavaliers, they can only defend and cannot attack (Knight's Plate Spears are difficult to penetrate) ... In fact, Marin This is the Spanish Phalanx. The Spanish Phalanx uses large muskets, which naturally restrains knights wearing plate armor.
这么 "So amazing?" Franzberg's eyes lit up.
"It is necessary, the last time I am ambushing the French knight, I won such a big battle. If this square formation takes shape, I can shake the French knight army positively, and make them cry crying father and mother ..."
"Well ..." At this time, what about Frentzberger, who looks like a wise and mercenary marshal? Clearly a young brain residual powder ...
"This is not bragging. If we control this square, our empire will crush France ..."
Marin didn't really say anything. Soon after the appearance of the Spanish Faction, it happened to be the time of Charles V. Charles V, relying on Spain's finances and the brave mercenaries of the Holy Roman Empire and the Spanish Faction, did press France. If it were not for the outbreak of the German Religious War and the Peasant War, and the strength of the Holy Roman Empire was excessively consumed, the French would probably have been captured even worse.
"Crushing France ..." Frentzberg couldn't help thinking about YY, but found it difficult.
"Yes, crushing France! I now need excellent talents to train and help me be an lieutenant, and at the same time study this powerful Phalanx. George, would you like to come to my army to help me?"
来 "Come in your army?" Flenzberg froze. Idols recruit me? what should I do?
"Yeah, I plan to compose a new Phalanx, I think you are quite suitable for being a Phalanx ..."
"The leader of the square ..." But the baron and the formal knights are qualified to be the idol. Idols really look at me.
"Correct!"
"But ... but I still have to return to Swabian ..." Franzberg thought he was still in the service.
"What service? You look like an ordinary heavy cavalry, right?"
"Ok……"
"What ’s so nostalgic? Mix up with me, I'll make you an officer!"
"But I can't leave the army at will ..."
"It's okay, I'll help you write a letter and say to your original lord, and say that I want to accept you as a disciple, UU reading books www.uukanshu.com stay here!"
"Can you do it?" Actually, what Franzberg wants to say is that if you mingle with you, can you get the official knight title? Because he followed his dad and mixed with the original lord, maybe he would be officially captive.
Marin also guessed a little about Frentzberg's thoughts. He was very clear that the original lord of Frentzberg didn't value him. The kid still encountered Maximilian I and was difficult to mix with the official knight. Of the title.
"Okay! You help me train the new Phalanx. When your Majesty is about to fight next time, I will definitely lead the army to serve My Majesty. If you come to help me train, you will definitely be the Phalanx leader. Before you, More opportunities to show up. If you go back to being a heavy cavalry, with so many cavalry, do you have a chance to show your face? If you follow me to command a square array, then you will have made great achievements, afraid that you will not have the opportunity to improve the Cavaliers, or even ... the baron? "Marin tempted.
这个 "This ..." Flenzberg thought, really. In front of Maximilian I, which one of the Phalanx and an unknown heavy cavalry, is more likely to be favored by Maximilian I? No need to choose.
Flenzberger finally made up his mind:
"I'm willing to work for adults, as for my army ..."
交给 "Leave it to me! I'll help you say hello to your lords. By the way, you also have to write a family letter and give it to your father so that he doesn't worry."
"Yes, Lord Lord!" Franzberg's role changed quickly, and he quickly recognized the Lord.
Suddenly, the man known as the "Father of German Mercenaries" was fooled into the Marin thief ship ...
