The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 177 German Shepherd

The population of this era is very small, like the German region, the total added up (including Austria, the Czech Republic, etc.) is about 12 million. In the future German region alone, there are only about 9 million people.

There are so many states in the German region, like ordinary counties, with only tens of thousands of people. A country with a population of more than 100,000 is considered an acceptable vassal state. With a population of 200,000 to 300,000, it is definitely regarded as one of the great powers among the princes. Over one million, a proper overlord level...

Although it is said that many manors in Germany are now overpopulated. However, even if Marin emigrated the surplus population of the German region, it would not exceed 2 million. Also, that's impossible. If Marin wanted to do this, the other princes might not agree.

Even if these 2 million people are taken to immigration and thrown into the North American continent, I am afraid that even a wave will not rise. Because North America is so big...

If you have large agricultural machinery, your family will have no problem cultivating thousands of hectares of land. But the problem is that there are no agricultural machinery now, and a family of five can farm more than 100 acres of land, which is about 20 acres.

Only by herding sheep can the land be fully utilized. At the same time, it can provide a lot of meat and wool, and, sheepskin that can be made into parchment...

And herding sheep does not need to employ all people. Using a shepherd is the easiest way to do it. After all, as long as dogs are trained, they are more responsible than humans. At least, when it comes to driving the sheep, because they run fast, they are more powerful than humans.

Moreover, the growth cycle of sheepdogs is very short. For example, German shepherds can start training at the age of three months after they are born, and they can start working to herd sheep within a year.

If it was a human being, it would take more than ten years to have the ability to shepherd sheep, and it would not be as good as a German shepherd. Therefore, using a sheepdog has a quick return and a low cost.

In a previous life, Marin had a very smart wolf dog (German Shepherd), which his uncle brought back to him from the city. Although it may be said that the variety is not pure enough, it is also very smart. The most important thing is that when the German Shepherd grows up, he is very powerful. With a bolt in front of the door, almost no strangers dare to approach.

even though,

In terms of shepherding alone, the German Shepherd may not be better than the more intelligent Border Collie. However, the advantages of German Shepherd are completely incomparable to Border Shepherd. The most important point is that German Shepherds can be used as military or police dogs, while Border Shepherds are too small to adapt to such work.

Therefore, Marin decided to send people to all parts of the German region to find the ancestors of German Shepherds, and then cultivate them to obtain an excellent shepherd and military dog.

Needless to say, shepherd dogs can help farmers herd sheep. Moreover, the tall German Shepherd, because of his bravery, can also become a guardian dog at home. Robbers and thieves should be afraid when they see a large dog like a German Shepherd. And the short border shepherd has no deterrent power, and can only work hard to herd the sheep.

As for military dogs, because of Marin's leading role, it can be expected that European countries will pay more and more attention to night raids in the future. Because of the night attack, Marin was successful. European countries are accustomed to imitating each other. Therefore, Marin can be sure that there will be more and more night raid battles in the future.

It is as if the Saxon army attacked Leeuwarden this time, it was taking advantage of the night to blow up the city gate and suddenly invaded the city. Not only that, but they also learned how Marin bombed the city gate.

Therefore, in the future er war, Marin also needs to prevent the enemy from using night attacks to deal with him...

In order to prepare for the enemy's night attack, in addition to planning to set up a dark post, Marin planned to arrange a night watch for military dogs. Military dogs have strong hearing and high alertness. If the enemy dares to touch it quietly, it is easy to be heard by the military dog. As long as the barking of the military dog ​​gives an early warning, the enemy's night attack will be exposed. In this regard, the sentinel cannot be compared with the military dog.

Sentinels at night can only see what's within the light coverage. Since the enemy is attacking at night, they will definitely hide in the dark and will not be easily discovered by you. But if there is a military dog, no matter where you hide, as long as you move, it will definitely make a noise. As long as it is heard by the military dog, an early warning will be issued in time.

In addition, military dogs also have the function of clearing local scouts. Soldiers go out with military dogs and go around the barracks. In some remote corners, according to the smell left by people, they can find the enemy's scouts and attack the enemy's reconnaissance ability.

At this time, only Marin and his more trusted men have telescopes. Other forces don't have this stuff. If the enemy wanted to scout the situation in the Marin army, they could only send spies to reconnaissance. In this way, as long as the patrolmen take the military dog ​​out for a circle, they can easily catch the enemy's spies and make the enemy "blind".

As for the ability to detect drugs, find explosives, etc., there is no such demand at present, but there is no need to hurry to train this ability. Of course, Marin's subordinates don't have such training talents now... However, just relying on guards and patrols and tracking skills is enough to meet the needs of the current stage, there is no need to pursue too much...

...

In order to find the German Shepherd, Marin painted by himself, and spent the image of the German Shepherd in his memory on paper, and asked his subordinates to search everywhere...

Unexpectedly, the portrait of the German Shepherd painted by Marin was seen by a soldier, and the soldier recognized it immediately:

"Isn't this a common wolf dog in our Alsace region?"

Most of Marin's officers and men came from the Württemberg Mountains and the Alsace region. The soldier who recognized the "German Shepherd" portrait was an Alsatian.

Marin hurriedly recruited the soldier and asked him for details...

It turned out that in the Alsace region, this kind of shepherd dog called "Alsatian wolf dog" is a very common thing. As a soldier born in the Alsace region, I have naturally seen it many times.

Moreover, the manor owners in the Alsace region like to raise such large bulldogs to deter serfs. If any serf is disobedient, he may be bitten by this "Alsatian wolf dog"...

Coincidentally, this Alsatian warrior named Hurd was bitten by the "Alsatian wolf dog" released by the other party because of a conflict with the young master of the manor's owner, which was very impressive. Therefore, after seeing the portrait of the German Shepherd, I immediately recognized it.

"Very well, Hurd, I will now entrust you to bring people back with the money and get me dozens of puppies of these dogs. At the same time, hire a few people who are good at training these dogs. It's done, I am very rewarded!"

Heard that the soldier named Hurd was also very happy when he heard that if he found a group of puppies and a few dog trainers to come back, he would get a big reward. As a veteran, Hurd naturally knew that his boss was a local tyrant. Marin said that there is a lot of rewards, and it will never disappoint. So, Hurd took a team of assistants with great energy and returned to his hometown to find puppies of Alsatian wolfhounds and professionals who are good at training dogs...

Marlin is more looking forward to it than Hurd, if the tall and mighty German Shepherd is cultivated in his own hands. At that time, it must be very majestic to lead the wolf dog... Uh, no, I am the king of a country, and it is not good to lead the wolf dog out to scare people. Therefore, the honorable task of leading the wolf dog to show off should be handed over to his son, Little Caesar...

In a previous life, Marin saw a bear child riding a German Shepherd as a "dog cavalry", which was very funny. Moreover, because the bear boy was riding a "wolf dog", he insisted that he was a "wolf cavalry", which almost made Marin laugh... Marin decided to take advantage of Caesar's young age and light weight to make him feel inferior." The feeling of "dog cavalry"...Unfortunately, Marin didn't have a camera or mobile phone to take pictures. However, you can let Da Vinci paint and leave that funny moment...

What Marin didn't expect was that, because of one of his funny ideas, Leonardo da Vinci left a famous painting - "Emperor Julius Caesar Riding a Dog"...
