European, especially German mercenaries in the 15th and 8th centuries. Episode 02.

 When a mercenary arrives at a democratic military camp that is unprecedented in the history of the advent of Lanzknecht, the mercenary captain, who can be called a war entrepreneur, will show his ability from here on. In the fever, the chief commander, the employer of the mercenary captain, does not appear well, and usually sends a soldier on behalf. Byeongwoomgwan checks the support capitalists and equipment, decides on final recruitment, and determines salaries and distributions, and at this time, if the equipment is good, the salary will usually rise. Therefore, various fraudulent acts occur to soldiers, such as renting other people's weapons or equipment for a while. Most of all, the extreme thing was to deceive the number of troops, such as having young or women listen to intestines to fill the number of people, and among them, 13 aliases were named in each of the 13 companies and received money. Most of the money pocketed in this way goes to the mercenary commander and becomes desperate to collect even part of such money that the company commander does. As a result of various cheating, about 500 of the one company's capacity is usually empty (of course, full of the capacity on the books), and the soldier's abdominal regulations will be read immediately after the enumeration. The first chapter of the Military Service Regulations, which is usually divided into three chapters, is mainly about general discipline regulating the construction of soldiers and obedience to the heads of regiments, officers, and superiors. Therefore, rules such as punishment for the control of soldiers, provisional trials, the authority of military police and judges, and prohibition of assembly of soldiers without the permission of the regiment are also followed. The validity of these military service regulations is until the end of the contract of the Lanzknecht unit, and at the same time as the dissolution of the unit, the brothers who are likely to be hated disappeared early. Chapter 2 includes etiquette, exhibition customs, and violation regulations within the unit. For example, the prohibition of insulting God by fake pledges, the protection of churches and priests, and the protection of pregnant women and women. In addition, the protection of mills is fixed among them, because in medieval Germany, farmers only use mills that are set. In Chapter 3, the main items are the rights of soldiers, the right to joint decision, and the restriction of autonomy. In other words, it is prohibited to hold soldiers' rallies in the unit without the permission of the regiment leader, soldiers' salaries, payment methods, and the right to loot. What is noteworthy here is the right to make joint decisions through soldiers' rallies. At the end of the above reading, the regiment commander introduces each company commander, judicial officer, military police, military police officer, and barracks commander. After that, the company commander introduces the rider and sergeant for each company, and the rider was literally the flower of the company and could be said to be a successful course to the company commander and regiment commander. Usually, most of the people who came into the Lanzknecht unit in search of adventure among the self-controls of the city's nobles or the knights of So Young-ju were refraining. After that, a special soldier, the assistant of a sergeant, is elected at a military rally. Among these special forces, there is a position called Amitsuten. It is a word from Latin, meaning "full authority member" or "diplomatic temple," and the role of this special soldier was representative of the interests of the entire unit against the regiment leader and its employer, the commander of the Supreme Command. In other words, Lanzknecht had its own autonomous organization that was not controlled by military authorities such as the head of the regiment. The soldiers' assembly played a role in monitoring cheating by military authorities by using joint decision-making rights such as protests against unpaid salaries, acquisition of special allowances such as "charge" and joint distribution of loots. In this sense, Lanzknecht was a democratic army that was rare in military history. Of course, the military authorities tried to limit the autonomy of these soldiers in various ways, as can be seen from the prohibition of military rallies without the permission of the regiment leader in the military service regulations described earlier. In the army, where the main compensator exists, the payment of troops is the basis for maintaining combat power. The military authorities of the Lanzknecht unit paid no attention to the payment of these bottles. Instead, it was left to subcontractors. Thus, the procurement and distribution of bottles such as bread, meat, and alcohol were handled by the main compensators, who are private companies. The main compensator handled not only such bottles, but also weapons, ammunition, and armor, as well as miscellaneous goods necessary for life, and purchased various loots cheaply. After the battle, they opened bars or gambling houses for the soldiers, carried women in charge of cooking, washing, serving, and nursing, and even provided sex to the soldiers through these women if necessary. Of course, it was a common phenomenon for them to carry out such projects by giving back money to the commander of the regiment and other military authorities. The number of non-combatants such as these main compensators, women, and entertainers, who can be said to be a kind of sickness unit of the Lanzknecht unit, is considerable, so if one Lanzknecht regiment is 6, 000, almost the same number of civilians followed the regiment. Of course, this procession slowed the march extremely, only disturbing it during the battle. However, it is said that it reached 1.5 times the size of the army at the time of the 30th century war in the 17th century as it only grew. The systematic military contribution did not take place until modern times. Qualification of the War Entrepreneur Regiment What are the regiment leaders, or mercenary captains, who are war entrepreneurs, who lead these special forces, Lanzknecht units? For soldiers, they may be like evil entrepreneurs who suck their blood, but it cannot be ignored that there can be soldiers only with a regiment leader. It literally holds the right to life or death of soldiers, such as jurisdiction within the unit and command of operations during battle. On the one hand, it was the regiment leader itself, not the employer of any mercenaries, such as the Holy Roman Emperor, the German Emperor, the King of France, and the King of Spain, who paid and fed the soldiers. For soldiers, it was out of interest who their employers were, who their enemies were, and what wars they were for. Their interest was only in which regiment leader they had to follow so that they could receive salaries without being late and obtain a lot of loot. German mercenary Lanzknecht had no hometown to return to Swiss mercenaries. Once I started working as a mercenary, I was kicked out of my hometown. When the mercenary contract period ended and the unit was disbanded, the salary of 4 Goulden per month had long been lost due to gambling, alcohol, and a podium for prostitutes, and discharge soldiers who had nowhere to go had no choice but to put themselves in non-mainstream societies such as beggars, peddlers, and entertainers. They wandered around various countries and committed radio eating, stealing, robbery, arson, murder, and looting, and if there was an recruit of mercenary units somewhere, they rushed to respond to the recruitment. Of course, after that, it was the same repetition of life again. If there was a hometown for the Lanzknecht members, it was the Lanzknecht unit itself. To these Lanzknecht members, the commander of the regiment who leads the unit must be something different from others. Also, in order to do so, a person of a slightly different status from the general unit members was needed. In general, most of them were fallen knights and nobles dreaming of success and longing for wealth and power, but in fact, they also needed considerable determination for such changes. You have to get off the horse. Of course, the commander of the mercenary also rode a horse during the march, but when the battle began, the commander of the regiment got off the horse and fought on foot with the soldiers. Rather, he had to stand at the front of the unit and take the lead. It was to abandon pride as a knight that a noble and brave knight fought shoulder to shoulder with infantry from humble origin that he would not normally face. For that reason, the fosterer of Lanzknecht himself got off the horse. In the Battle of Guinea, Maximilian I stood in the front row of infantry with a spear in his hand, although it was a moment during the battle. When he entered the city in 1485, the Roman king put a spear on his shoulder and led his Lanzknecht unit on foot. Naturally, Maximilian I's actions captivated the soldiers. However, these gestures were not only directed at soldiers, but also at aristocrats. Abandon your pride as a useless knight and become a true warrior who stands at the forefront of soldiers and fights! I wanted to convey this message. Georg von Prunzberg best met Maximilian I's expectations at the forefront of Lanzknecht's father. He was from Mindelheim's small tribe. Since he was not the eldest son, there was little land to inherit, so he became a mercenary captain who was promoted while walking along the path of a soldier and received a patent certificate for recruitment. However, his employer was always Habsburg, serving Maximilian I and his grandson Karl V. In fact, in terms of war entrepreneurs, it was inevitable that profits would fall because they always participated in the war for the Habsburg family. In addition, there was no case of inflating the number of soldiers to earn salaries or selling low-quality intestines to soldiers at high prices. As a soldier, he did not collect rebates by receiving food, ammunition, weapons, etc., and refused bribes from the main compensators, so his troops were always able to receive adequate supply. In addition, he was brave in battle but never reckless, so if the war was unfavorable, he immediately retreated to prevent the death of soldiers. He followed the soldiers as "the father of Lanzknecht," and of course, his army was powerful. Karl V, who succeeded his grandfather Maximilian I and became the Holy Roman Emperor, will face off against his old enemy French king Franciso I, focusing on the strongest unit of Lanzknecht led by Frenzberg. It was the Battle of Pavia in 1525. This battle was also a battle that determined the continued struggle between Habsburg and Baroaga, who were competing for Italian hegemony, but at the same time it was also that of the Swiss mercenary and Lanzknecht units. Fabia, a city in northern Italy, surrounded by 20,000 French troops in the fall of 1524. The Lanzknecht unit, the 4,000 emperor army undergoing a sit-in, suffered from a shortage of troops and was already about to eat up horses, mules, dogs and cats. However, he knew that the troops were coming, so he could not surrender. In fact, at the end of January 1525, the emperor army crossed the Alps and appeared in the suburbs of Pavia City. About 20,000 counties and the famous Battle of Pavia in history began. The head of the emperor's army was the Duke of Bourbon, the head of the Bourbon family in France, who confronted Franco I and returned to the emperor's army. Emperor Carlos V was also King Carlos I of Spain at the same time. General Pescara, who leads the Spanish army.

However, most of all, the emperor's main force was the Lanzknecht unit led by mercenary captains of the reversal, starting with Fritzberg. And the Changbangjin of the Grandzknecht unit stood at the forefront in the shape of guarding the 1,500 Hwaseung Chongdae. Meanwhile, it was the home of King Franco I of the French army. The front line was the French chest cavalry and Swiss mercenary units. At the time, elite mercenaries from Graubunden, who had not yet participated in the Swiss Pledge Alliance, Gascony mercenaries, and "black units (in fact, German mercenaries employed in the French army)" led by Count Richard Saupork of England were also participating in the French army. The battle lasted for nine and a half hours. First, the French army took advantage of the topography and pushed in. However, the Changbangjin of the Emperor's Ranzknecht unit, led by Prunzberg, gradually showed its ability. This was because there were 1,500 Hwaseungchong Tomb behind them. The French chest cavalry gradually collapsed, and at the moment, the Prunzberg unit charged the French "black unit" with the Ames unit on the left. As seen in this battle process, firearms have now become the main players in the battle. French and Swiss mercenaries, who failed to read these changes in the war, collapsed, followed by Graubunden and Gasconew mercenaries. The hunt for the defeated soldiers was disastrous. It was literally a tragedy of Sisanhyeolhae. The majority of Swiss mercenaries, who flocked to the Tittino River flowing near Pavia, fell into icy rivers and died with screams. The Battle of Pavia was called the "Devil War (Marragera)," writing, "God did not give grace on this day," Rysna, a member of the Prenzberg's war of war. A few days later, King Carl V of the Holy Roman Emperor, who was staying at the court in Madrid, Spain, said, "Your Majesty, it's a great victory. French king Franco I was captured by our army and is now in your hands," I was satisfied with the victory report. The captive Franco I was escorted to Madrid and detained. Along with the disgrace of such prisoners, the king's right to inherit the throne of Milan, which had been unreasonable from the beginning, completely disappeared, and the Republic of Burgundy, which Louis XI incorporated into the French royal family, also had to make humiliating concessions to Habsburg. The Madrid Treaty will end the "all of Italy" that continued after Charles VIII's invasion of Italy with a great victory for the Habsburg. Then, will there be mass unemployment of mercenaries, including Lanzknecht? No, it wasn't like that.
