The Rise of the European Emperor

The effect of rye erguotou is gratifying. After Marin summoned his ministers of civil and military affairs, he went directly to rye erguotou at about 40 degrees.

Civil servants are not very interested in this kind of spirits, and they don't seem to like it very much. But the vulgar officers liked this spirit very much. According to the old rude Kahn - "Soldier must like this strong spirit." Moreover, this kind of white wine is not too strong to drink...

Although the civil servants were not very fond of drinking, Marin was eager to know the effect, so he tried his best to persuade him to drink. As a traveler who is used to drinking 56-degree Erguotou in later generations, Marin is still very used to this kind of spirits. Moreover, he, the chicken thief, added some boiled water to the ** wine he drank, and diluted the degree to about 20 degrees.

In this way, Marin used a weakened version of rye Erguotou at 20 degrees to frequently toast his officers and generals. In the face of the boss's toast, no matter how unhappy the civil servants are, they have to do it. And the generals are not unhappy, and a fool like Kahn is even more happy.

Then, after a few rounds, the civil servants took the lead in rushing to the streets, lying down one after another, and a few became drunk. However, the wine-crazy civil servant was unlucky, and was knocked unconscious by Uncle Kahn with a sharp hand knife...

The generals continued to drink, but they were no better than the civilians. Then, they also lay down one by one. There are also alcoholics who are still stunned by the violent Kahn knife on the back of the neck...

In the end, only zuò bì's Marin and Kahn were still standing. But at this time, Marin was actually a little drunk. Seeing that Kahn still didn't care about this animal, Marin gave up...

The test results are gratifying, Marin concluded after testing that most people can be put down by the rye Erguotou...

The next day, Marin also made an enhanced version of Erguotou - Erguotou with honey...

After that, he brought his brothers to drink again. Then, those generals liked it very much. Rye Erguotou with honey, that is the legendary mead in heaven (in legend, in the Hall of Valor of the Nordic supreme god Odin, those ancient Germanic warriors fought during the day and drank mead wildly at night)… ...then, these idiots didn't use Marin to persuade them to drink, and they just drank them all. Only the god of wine, Kahn, and Schwartz, who has better self-control, did not fall. Kahn is because he is not drunk, and Schwartz is because Marin did not force him to drink, he controlled himself not to drink too much...

With this experiment, Marin finally made up his mind - add honey to Erguotou rye, and drink those indigenous people...

However, the price of honey is high, and Marin plans to replace honey with sucrose in the future. However, at this stage, what makes Marin laugh or cry is that in the European market, the current prices of honey and sucrose are similar. Even the price of sucrose is higher. Probably because honey can be produced locally, while sucrose can only be produced in southern Europe...

Marin tried it and added brown sugar to the rye Erguotou, which seemed to work well. Anyway, for Europeans of this era, let alone sucrose is unhealthy, and nobles rarely eat sugar. When it comes to sweetness, everyone likes it. As for the natives, that's even more so...

Marin's plan was to let his soldiers bring wine to the natives to drink. However, what his subordinates drink is low-alcohol liquor mixed with water, and what the natives drink is genuine spirits. Just like how he dealt with his generals, it is not easy for him to get drunk, but it is easy to get the natives drunk. After getting drunk, let them do whatever they want...

...

certainly,

These are all methods of Huairou. If the Huairou method fails, it also needs to fight. Therefore, Marin still needs a strong military strength.

But the problem is that on the plains, the tens of thousands of troops under Marin are invincible. But in the jungle, the number of troops is useless. Without people familiar with the jungle, many people can only be hit by the enemy's cold arrows and traps.

However, the areas that Marin will conquer next, whether it is Cuba Island, the east coast of North America, or Taiwan Island, which will be the foothold of Daming in the future, are all places with dense jungles. To conquer these areas, it is necessary to train an elite army adapted to jungle warfare.

Otherwise, they can only learn the way the British colonized North America - slowly advancing into the jungle by cutting down trees. But this method is very passive. In the early days, when the British colonized the east coast of North America, they could only chop down trees and then build castles. Then, he was huddled in the castle, waiting for the Indians in the jungle to attack... very passive...

If there is an army proficient in jungle warfare, then they can successfully pack up the powerful Indian tribes such as the Iroquois Alliance and march inland early.

In fact, in the 17th century, British colonization was limited to establishing a foothold near the estuary on the east coast, but not deep. It was not until later that the number of immigrants reached millions, and the large number of militia spontaneously formed by the immigrants gradually defeated the Indians.

However, this also brought a very serious problem - the habit of Americans with guns started from that time. And it was the militias who were accustomed to fighting the Indians who finally overthrew the British colonists. Even the quick-loading method of muskets wrapped in greased rags and deerskins was invented by militias in the North American colonies.

The strength of force in the colonies eventually led to the emergence of rebel forces. Therefore, Marin's plan is to limit the colony's own force as much as possible in the future. Even local hunters are only allowed to have arquebuses, or bows and arrows, which are a bit backward, and never allow individuals to own advanced wǔ qì such as flintlocks and clockwork muskets, so as to maintain the equipment advantage of guān fāng over civilians and avoid colonies Independence.

Moreover, with the jungle fighting force, the colonial army can take the initiative to clean up those Indians hiding in the jungle. That way, there is no need for colonies to form militias to defend themselves. In this way, the colonial people have no reason to carry a large number of guns.

At the moment, Marin has only 300 Musketeers from the army and 300 Swordsmen from the Black Forest who were selected from the army.

Such an armed force, because of its equipment advantages, can certainly defeat a tribe. However, there are so many tribes on the east coast of North America, do you expect these 600 people to sweep them all?

Not to mention the east coast of North America, even those Taino tribes in the jungles of Cuba Island, these 600 people did not have time to clean up. After all, they cannot divide their troops. Otherwise, there is not enough strength to crush the opponent. And relying on this team, it is difficult to clean up the indigenous tribes on the entire Cuban island in a short period of time.

So, after thinking for a while, Marin decided to let Kohler send people to the Black Forest to recruit those prime-age hunters as soldiers, and let them deal with the indigenous people hiding in the jungle - the Taino people in Cuba, the Indians on the east coast of North America. People, and the Gaoshan people on the island of Taiwan...

Right now, the Black Forest is not the Black Forest of the future. In later generations, because of the explosion of the German population, many forests have actually been reclaimed into farmland. The last remaining, mainly black forest in the mountains. But even so, by the 21st century, the total area of ​​the Black Forest has reached about 6,000 square kilometers.

And now, because the population of Germany is only a few million people, it is not as exaggerated as 80 million in later generations. As a result, many plain areas also belong to the Black Forest. So, now the Black Forest,

The estimated area is more than 10,000 square kilometers. In the jungle, there are a large number of mountain people who escape the oppression and exploitation of the nobles. They mainly rely on hunting for a living, but they do not dare to enter the town easily to hunt, so life is difficult.

Marin's condition is that any young man with rich jungle hunting experience joins the army if he wishes, and the daily salary is as high as 5 pfennig, which is 25 times that of ordinary people...

As long as a few thousand hunters from the Black Forest can be recruited, Marin can form several (or even a dozen) colonial armies to go deep into the jungle and attack the natives.

Among them, those who are not afraid of heat are sent to Cuba Island and Taiwan Island. And those who are afraid of heat can also stay in the temperate region on the east coast of North America and deal with the Indians there...

These jungle hunters in the black forest use their rich forest survival and hunting experience. By them, the Indians living in the jungle are hard to resist. After all, in terms of tactics and equipment, those indigenous people are at an absolute disadvantage, and coupled with the burden of old, weak, sick and disabled, it is difficult not to fail...

Even, Marin intends to let the experienced old hunters take some soldiers from the plains as apprentices to teach them the skills of jungle survival and hunting, so that more soldiers have the ability to fight the Indians in the jungle. experience. Only with more talents like this, Marin can conquer the dense virgin jungle on the east coast of North America with the fastest speed, and seize more fertile and fertile land...
