The Rise of the European Emperor

()

() In medieval Europe, cultural people were mainly divided into two categories - nobles and priests. Marin asked the Danish King Hans to take away the nobles, which was only half the problem. For those literate Danish priests, there is no solution.

However, this is not a problem. Because Marin has the support of the Holy See, it is very simple to transfer these Danish priests on a large scale.

For example, after the Archbishopric of Bremen moves to Stendal, it will definitely take many important priests from the Archbishopric of Bremen along with it. In this way, the former Archbishopric of Bremen will vacate many positions for priests.

In this way, Marin can completely transfer the cultured Danish priests from Jutland to the area of ​​the former Archbishopric of Bremen. Then, select German missionaries from the German region under their control and go to Jutland to preside over the daily teaching affairs. Of course, because the German priests did not speak Danish, it was difficult to communicate with the Danish people. Therefore, Marin will choose to select German missionaries who can speak Danish in the Principality of Schleswig to take charge of teaching affairs.

The Principality of Schleswig is a very special place. The south of this place is dominated by Germans (later assigned to Germany), and the north is dominated by Danes (later assigned to Denmark). Although it is located on the north and south sides, the Germans and Danes of the Principality of Schleswig still have a lot of intersections. After all, they are in the same country.

Therefore, many missionaries in the Principality of Schleswig spoke German and Danish at the same time. Moreover, the missionaries who can speak German and Danish at the same time account for more than half of the total number of missionaries in the Duchy of Schleswig, a considerable number.

Of course, although they can speak two languages, the missionaries of the Principality of Schleswig still choose their own language as their mother tongue. Another language, just for the convenience of communicating with people. When writing, German missionaries would still choose German, and Danish missionaries would still choose Danish. Therefore, if you bring German missionaries who can speak Danish to the Danes in Jutland, there is no need to worry that those German missionaries will help the Danes pass on their culture.

As for those Danish missionaries, Marin decided to use the authorization given by the Holy See to all be transferred to the German area, even if they were left without work, they had to do so. Then, the educational affairs of the Danes in Jutland were fully taken over by the German missionaries who spoke Danish in the Principality of Schleswig.

Then,

In the name of the church, the Marin Society established many primary schools in Denmark to teach local children to learn and write German. At the same time, all official documents and books in Jutland are in German. As for Danish, Marin also does not prohibit, but does not allow written use, and is treated as an unwritten dialect. However, the Danes who do not speak German can only be serfs forever, and will not be given the opportunity to change their fate.

...

At the same time, Marin will also choose to immigrate to Jutland, bringing a large number of German refugees to Jutland. Although the Jutland peninsula is not large in size, the terrain is relatively flat, and there is a lot to do whether it is engaged in planting or animal husbandry.

In later generations, Denmark is one of the most developed agricultural countries in Europe, known as the "European cupboard". Whether it is grain output or meat production, it ranks high in Europe. Moreover, Denmark's pork export ranks first in the world, and the per capita wheat output is close to one ton (Denmark has a population of more than 5 million), while China is only more than 90 kilograms. Of course, Huaxia is based on rice, which is not comparable. However, it also shows the development of Danish agriculture in later generations.

Although Denmark's agricultural development has its high-tech components, the most important thing is that there is a lot of available land for agriculture in Denmark. In later generations, Denmark's 43,000 square kilometers of land area (excluding the Faroe Islands) actually had 29,000 square kilometers of arable land - Nima, accounting for 67% of the country's land area. How much does Huaxia account for? Less than one tenth of...

Moreover, although China has a lot of cultivated land in later generations, many cultivated land is barren. The land in the north, especially the land in the northwest, suffers from severe water shortage. In Denmark, there is no shortage of water at all. No problems except the climate is a little cooler. Therefore, later generations of Danes can come up with miracles in agriculture.

Of course, because of the relationship between the traveler Marin, it will be difficult for Denmark in later generations to want miracles. Because, Denmark's largest land area of ​​Jutland was snatched by Marin. From then on, it was Marin who was engaged in agriculture on the Jutland peninsula.

Marin knows that the land in Jutland is fertile and flat, and there is a lot of arable land, accounting for at least half of it. The Jutland peninsula, including the Principality of Schleswig, has almost reached 30,000 square kilometers, and if half of the arable land is calculated, there are 15,000 square kilometers. Converted into acres, that is 3.7 million acres, which is 1.85 million Ugrams, or 22.46 million acres...

Of course, this is the ideal situation. Moreover, it is the end of the Middle Ages, and agriculture is purely manual. So much land, not so many people to reclaim it!

Take the newly acquired Jutland peninsula of about 20,000 square kilometers of land, there are only 250,000 Danes, and at most tens of thousands of prime-age laborers. A family of five people, farming 100 acres of land is sky-high. 250,000 people, cultivating a maximum of 5 million mu of land...

However, these 250,000 people are not all farmers. There are also many fishermen and people from all walks of life. Therefore, the biggest problem now is the serious shortage of population.

To make good use of the more than 20 million mu of land, at least 200,000 families of five are needed, that is, more than one million people. Also, this is all agricultural population...

So, Marin's plan is - since there is a shortage of people, let's immigrate Germans from poor places in Germany...

At that time, the German population will be dominant, and you are worried about the Danes turning out the waves? Besides, Marin planned to encourage Germans and Danes to marry each other. All belong to the Germanic people, except for language customs, other differences are not big. Intermarriage, plus the majority of Germans, will assimilate this place within a few decades.

If more than half of the Jutland peninsula were to be developed into farmland and pastures, Marin would suffer from hand cramps just by collecting the rent...

Of course, for military purposes, Marin intends to divide the usable half of the 30,000 square kilometers of Jutland into two parts—arable land and pastures...

Cultivated land requires too much labor, and Marin intends to reclaim half of it, mainly the fertile areas along the river and the areas that are convenient for irrigation, into cultivated land. The other half of the area not close to the rivers and lakes was opened up as pastures, all of which were planted with alfalfa, and fine-wool sheep, as well as cattle and horses, were raised. Of course, it is also possible to develop a strong breeding industry in Denmark in later generations - the pig industry...

At that time, the fertile Jutland peninsula will become Marin's granary and meat silo. At the same time, a large number of war horses and cheese products can also be supplied.

The cows are naturally white cows from the Netherlands, and the war horses, Marin chose the Mongolian horses of Eastern Europe, which is the Don Hippo of later generations. Although the mounts of this Cossack cavalry are not as good as the Arabian horses and other precious horse breeds, they are better than others. Just put it on the grass to graze, and you can feed it. Only when you are very tired (such as after a long run with people), you need to add some concentrate. Unlike European war horses, which usually require **. There are three or five Nima horses, but if there are tens of thousands of horses, the cost is simply amazing.

Therefore, in European history, the scale of cavalry has always been small. However, the poor Tsarist Russia could often dispatch tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Cossack cavalry to sweep the Quartet. During the First World War, Tsarist Russia even dispatched millions of Cossack cavalry. However, in the face of the German machine gun array, it was not good.

However, in the 18th and 19th centuries, the tsar, who was able to dispatch tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry at will, known as the "European road roller", made the whole of Europe tremble...

Therefore, Marin decided to establish more settlements similar to Cossack villages in the pastoral areas other than cultivated land on the Jutland peninsula.

Then, Marin will select some young Germans who like to ride horses and have strong personalities to join these villages. Marin would allocate pastures to them, but they had to pay a small amount of taxes and fought for Marin unconditionally.

Usually, these lads rode Eastern European Mongolian horses to pasture in the pastures of Jutland. When they were free, Marin would arrange for the village chief to organize these lads to practice wrestling, horse fighting and horseback shooting.

Their village chief is equivalent to the captain of the cavalry company under Malin. Once the war breaks out, the village chief will transform into the captain of the cavalry company, leading the whole village to fight for the Marin... This model is somewhat similar to the Eight Banners system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty - "Incoming is for the people, and out is for soldiers. ".

In this way, Marin only needs to pay some grass to get a lot of brave cavalry, which is absolutely cost-effective. Moreover, they do not pay no tax, they still have to pay 10% of the tax every year. Tax-free is only available in war years.

Because the village chief will often organize young and strong people to practice martial arts and tactics, so when the war comes, the combat effectiveness of these cavalry will not be very bad. Strictly speaking, their village was a half-barracks.

While Marin recruited them during wartime, they didn't need to spend much money, at most they subsidized some grain and feed for war horses. There is no need to give them a salary either, their land is the salary.

In this way, Marin usually does not need to spend money to support them, but after the war begins, he can recruit a large number of excellent cavalry. The more such villages, the more Marin cavalry.

Marin did not want to have hundreds of thousands of Cossacks like the tsar, but was satisfied with the ability to draw 120,000 or 20,000 Cossack cavalry in battle.

As for the name of the village, Marin was too lazy to think too much about it. The cavalry who came out were also called Cossacks. Anyway, right now, the genuine Cossacks haven't appeared yet. Make it yourself first, it's genuine...

What's so special, when there are more Cossack villages under him, who dares to disagree? I sent tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry to your house******...
