Chapter 2031 Brother Simon, It's Time to Repay Your Brother

[Network] The Rise of the European Emperor Later, Marin worried about his cronies such as Haider, Schwartz, Kohler, and Sauer, and continued to discuss the introduction of Maozi serfs. It is mainly a matter of details, the direction has been set, but details are also very important. Not to mention the decision of success or failure, but if the details are not done well, it will be very troublesome.

At this point, Sauer asked a question. Sauer is doing military monitoring work. He found that in an army, if there are too many people from one place, it is easy to lead to group formation. For example, in a company of 250 people, if the total number of people in a small place exceeds half, often the leader from this small place can speak words comparable to the company captain, or at least the deputy company captain. If the company captain lacks experience and prestige, it is easy for the leader of this small group to be overshadowed.

So, Sauer argues, the same goes for the hairy serfs on the farm. It is possible to keep the family, but it is best not to put a large number of people from the same village together, lest they clump together.

In a word, it is to break up the reorganization. If it is not broken up and reorganized, the serfs of a manor are all people from a certain village in the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and individual managers are likely to be united by this group of people to target, as long as someone stands up to dominate and incite.

And Kohler is also engaged in intelligence. He even suggested that it is better to put Rus people with different accents in a manor, so that the people in this manor cannot be united. If different small groups are automatically formed, it is impossible to unite and fight against the officials of the Beihai Kingdom.

The best thing is to have the Muscovites and Ukrainians in the manor in the same manor, and the number of people is too different. Although both Muscovites and Ukrainians belong to the Rus, the Muscovites belong to the Northeast Rus, and the Ukrainians belong to the Southwest Rus. The long-term separation has made the languages ​​of the two ethnic groups greatly different. Now, it is very difficult for people of the two races to communicate normally in language.

In today's Ukraine, there are about 2 million Ukrainians, which is much smaller than the Rus in the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but the number is also very large.

Although the Grand Duchy of Lithuania conquered the Ukrainian region, its control over the region was weak. Or rather, a little out of control. Because the Grand Duchy of Lithuania has been at a disadvantage in the battle with the Grand Duchy of Moscow these years, the Lithuanians naturally have no energy to manage the Ukraine side, which has caused it to get out of control.

Before, Marin asked Simon to buy the Kyiv area as a territory, and the Great Sejm (Parliament) of Lithuania just began to wonder why Simon bought there, but did not stop him much. The main thing is that it was really out of sight of the Lithuanians. Later, Lithuania even gave Ukraine to the Kingdom of Poland. It can be seen that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania pays no attention to the Ukrainian region and the local Ukrainians.

Now, Simon arrived in Kyiv to establish the country for more than a year. With the strong support of Marin, he established the Winged Knights with a full set of weapons and armor of the North Sea Kingdom.

Marin suddenly realized - Simon, this stinky brother,

It seems that the time has come to repay my brother...

At the beginning, when Marin paid Simon to buy Kyiv, he did not let this guy go to himself, but let him be responsible for recruiting Ukrainians for him.

However, Simon has not yet established a firm foothold in the local area before, and even the city of Kyiv has not been repaired. Now, more than a year has passed. It is said that the city of Kyiv has been basically repaired after using a large amount of cement shipped from the North Sea. The area around Kyiv has also attracted a large number of local people for land reclamation.

In addition, with the support of Marin's huge amount of money, Simon also recruited warriors and formed a 2,000-strong Flying Wing Knights. Its weapons and equipment are similar to those of the Polish winged cavalry. They are all half-armor, without horse armor, using spring lances produced in the North Sea country, and steel sabres. These winged knights were all the children of small nobles who had no way out in Poland and Lithuania with the help of Simon Tozegmont I.

Since it was just the beginning, only 2,000 people were recruited. But in the future, Marin intends to let Simon expand to more than 6,000 people. However, what Simon actually controls is actually only 1,000 flying wing knights, and the other 5,000 are all kept by Marin as spares.

In addition, Simon also built dozens of Cossack villages around the city of Kyiv according to Marin's instructions. Each of these Cossack villages has 100 households. Simon kept them safe and levied only 10% of the tax. However, once a war broke out, every household in the village had to send a Cossack cavalry to fight for Simon. In return, 10% of the tax was exempted when the war broke out. Plus, they get half of the spoils.

Because Eastern Europe implemented a general taxation system during the Golden Horde period, local people would not be as resistant to taxation as Western European farmers. Even a 10% tax is quite conscientious. And of this tax, Simon has to spend half of it to build the Catholic Church. This is Simon's special right to tithe.

Ordinary people can't get this right, but his brother Malin is the son-in-law of the Pope, and it is very easy to ask for this right for him. And Simon also promised to spend half of the tax revenue to build Catholic churches and promote Catholicism locally. And it was easy to convert the local Cossacks to Catholics. Because the Cossacks are a very vague group of religions, and they don't care what religion they believe in. Converting their beliefs is easier than converting ordinary farmers.

In the Kyiv region, non-Catholics pay twice as much tax as Catholics. Therefore, most Cossacks converted to Catholicism.

More than fifty Cossack villages can provide Simon with more than five thousand Cossack hussars. Therefore, Simon is currently on the Ukrainian prairie, and definitely belongs to the tyrant of the tyrants. The only person who can compare to him is the Crimean Khanate, which can draw 40,000 cavalry. However, the Crimean Khanate is a trading partner of the North Sea Kingdom. They sell a lot of horses, cattle and sheep to the North Sea Kingdom every year. Naturally, they will not find trouble with the brother of the gold owner. And Simon, will not be brainless enough to take the initiative to provoke the powerful Crimean Khanate. Therefore, both sides are at peace.

Moreover, the Crimeans have suddenly discovered over the years that they can make money by selling horses, cattle and sheep, and they don't need to work hard, and they don't even have a strong motivation to go to Moscow to grab the population. In addition, they learned to be middlemen, buying horses, cattle and sheep at low prices from the Kazan Khanate, the Astrakhan Khanate, the Siberian Khanate and even the Nogai, and then resold them to Marin. In this way, they can also live very moisturizing. Only when there is a shortage of hairy girls, will they be dispatched once in a while to fight the autumn wind in the southern part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

Through trade, Marin has transformed the Crimean Khanate into a "moderate" country with fewer "fights"...

In such an environment, Simon's Ukrainian country is naturally very safe. Simon's biggest enemy is the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the horse bandits on the Ukrainian steppe. But the Grand Duchy of Moscow is currently planning to seize Smolensk, and has no time to pay attention to Simon in the southwest. Simon has just set up the country and will not provoke the Grand Duchy of Moscow with death. However, those horse bandits on the grassland were cleaned up by Simon several times. Two thousand winged knights, plus at least two or three thousand Cossack light cavalry every time. At this scale, no matter how big or small, there is only one dead end. Therefore, now the Ukrainian prairie is close to the area around Kyiv, which is called a good security, and it can be described as "the door is not closed at night and the road is not picked up".

But this is not what Marin wanted. Marin thought, since the stinky brother has established a firm foothold in the Ukrainian prairie, it is time for him to help recruit Ukrainians to come to the North Sea country...

It doesn't need to be much, just come with 200,000 young men, plus young women and children, which is about the same number as Maozi. Then, mix with Maozi in proportion, so that the serfs can be effectively prevented from clumping together.

In order to implement it as soon as possible, Malin specially used the fastest flying pigeon to pass the book. Although some of the carrier pigeons may be hunted by hawks on the way, Marin has sent many letters, and some of them are always delivered successfully...
