Chapter 104: Personally out of the horse

Tagfacht and Heisenberg each recommended their own subordinates. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Marin specially chatted with the two, but through chatting, Marin found that although these two people have a high level of education and are also very eloquent, they have a fatal flaw - that is, they look down on people......

From these two guys, Ma Lin saw the strange superiority of "I am from a big city, and you are all hillbillies" in the later generations of Xiangjiang and Shanghai people.

It is undeniable that Lübeck and Hamburg were the two wealthiest cities in Germany at this time. Therefore, it is inevitable that the locals will be a little proud. However, to the extent of being proud of "regional blackness", that is brain-dead.

In the face of a powerful earl like Marin with heavy troops, although the two of them were respectful on the surface, the trace of disdain in their eyes was captured by Marin. Obviously, Marin was considered a "hillbilly" by them......

Of course, Marin is not going to be angry with this and these two men. However, Marin knew better that if these two "regional blacks" were allowed to run to the Crimean Khanate, perhaps, they would despise the barbaric Crimean Khan. If Möngkegire Khan finds out about this, all efforts will come to an end.

And this mission to the Crimean Khanate is so important that it is almost related to the national fortunes of Eastern European countries, and it is also related to the life and death of Sweden. So, Marin had to be cautious.

However, Marin can't come up with a better candidate in his hands now. Because, after all, Marin worked hard from the bottom, and there was a lack of talent around him. Later, through co-optation and training, a group of internal affairs talents were obtained. However, diplomatic talents have really not been cultivated. Several alliances were formed by Marin himself.

"Do you want me to go out this time?" Marin couldn't help but start thinking about the possibility of his own outcome.

Obviously, now the island of Zealand is under the control of the coalition forces, and the Danish waters are also under the control of the combined fleet. In this case, the big picture is basically decided. The only need is for the coalition to take Copenhagen.

However, after the Danes got the big iron gate, the previous method of quickly breaking the city was no longer available, and a stupid method had to be used. And if you use a stupid method, it doesn't matter if you have Marin or not. Although Schwartz is not as big as Marin's brain, he is also decent, and it is not a big problem to command a large army to break the city by traditional methods.

As a result, Marin finally made up his mind - he was going to go to the Crimean Khanate in person, trying to buy off Möngkejire Khan and make him attack the rear of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

When Marin told Tag Facht and Heisenberg what he thought, both speakers were a little surprised:

"Marlin-sama, you're not kidding, are you?"

Actually, their subtext is -- if you're so good at war, are you so good at diplomacy?

"That's right, in fact, I know Tatar......" Marin has learned a lot of Tatar in the past few years with the two brothers Mozhigen and Battle, and it is enough to communicate.

After all, Mozhigen and Battle had long served as court doctors at the court of the Golden Horde, and it was necessary to be able to speak Tatar. And Marin, after crossing over, has become very good in memory, and after studying with the two for a few years, he can also speak Tatar fluently.

Supposedly, the official language of the Golden Horde was Mongolian. However, with the integration of the Golden Horde and the natives of Eastern Europe, gradually Turkicization. The official language, too, gradually changed from Mongolian to the later Tatar, that is, the Tatar spoken in Huaxia.

The official language of the Crimean Khanate, of course, was also Tatar, and Marin learned Tatar, which was just right for communication with the Crimeans.

Neither Tag Facht nor Heisenberg had anything to say, and they had nothing to say in the face of Marin, a "scholar" who even understood Tatar. And the two subordinates they recommended, although they can speak well, do not understand Tatar. Originally, they had planned to go to the Teutonic state to see if they were hiring someone who could speak Tatar. After all, the Teutonic countries had close ties with the countries of Eastern Europe, and they were also German-speaking countries. There, you should be able to find relevant language talents. Unexpectedly, Ma Lin, a "scholar", jumped out, as a great nobleman and a general, he actually said that he could speak Tatar, is this considered cross-border?

The two young officials who were recommended by their respective speakers were also ashamed, but they did not expect that the "reckless man" Marin, whom they secretly despised, would be so learned that he could overpower them in terms of language -- who told them that they did not understand the cold language of Tatar......

In this way, Marin's status as a chief envoy was immediately confirmed, and the young officials recommended by Lübeck and Hamburg served as deputy envoys to the Crimean Khanate. On the one hand, the two young people need to supervise the whole process so that they can report back. On the other hand, the two speakers also hope that the two of them will learn from Marin with an open mind. After all, they can be valued by the two speakers, and they are themselves very high-level people, and they are young officials who are focused on cultivating in the two cities.

Next, Marin and the two speakers jointly wrote a diplomatic document and handed it to Marin to bring. As for the gold coins, they were first taken from the gold and silver coins captured by the front-line troops, and then the two cities were replenished.

Of course, to go to the Crimean Khanate, you must first pass through the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is also an important object for the three to be wooed. So, the three of them drafted another diplomatic document for Marin to lead a visit to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. If possible, it would also be good to say that the Grand Duke of Lithuania would send troops. Of course, it is said that the current Grand Duke of Lithuania, Alexander, is a soft egg, and it is a little difficult to want him to take the initiative to send troops. But if Crimea takes the lead in sending troops and follows behind to pick up the bargain, this guy should still understand.

Moreover, after the meeting with the Grand Duke of Lithuania, even if the other party did not send troops, it would have no problem issuing customs clearance documents to the mission to ensure that the mission was unimpeded in Lithuania.

You know, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is currently quite strong, and it still controls most of Ukraine, directly connected to the Crimean Khanate. Just pass through the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and you'll be on the territory of your Crimean Khanate.

And because of Marin's special status, he naturally can't be equipped with a limited number of guards like ordinary missions. To this end, Schwartz specially selected 100 black-shirted knights, plus Sauer's 100 scouts, as escorts.

Sauer's scouts, all equipped with binoculars at this time, have very strong reconnaissance capabilities. It is difficult to ambush Marin's team. Moreover, these 100 scouts will also release dark posts at night to guard against enemy night attacks. In this way, the safety of Marin's mission can be fully guaranteed.

As for the 100 black-shirted knights, they are specialized in fighting the pursuing plate knights and infantry. Although it may not have an advantage over the Tatar archers, it is still no problem to hold back the enemy and let Marin escape.

When he was ready, Marin boarded the ship with two lieutenants and 200 men. None of them brought horses with them, because it was very inconvenient for horses to be loaded and transported on ships. So, the fleet was loaded with only 100,000 gold coins. When he arrived at Königsberg, the capital of the Teutonic Order, Marin could borrow a few hundred horses from Philip, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order. Moreover, Königsberg to Vilnius, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, is not too far. This road happens to be very smooth.

If you borrow two more pack horses from Grand Master Philip, three horses per person, you should have a quick journey. There were no women or children in the group, and there were no elderly people. Even the two young civil officials sent by Lübeck and Hamburg were good at horseback riding. One person and three horses, if you hurry up, no matter how long the distance is, you can reach it at a relatively fast speed......
