Marin was anxious to drive Tara's envoy back to Cuba to report the news, but Tara's envoy did not leave. Marin asked suspiciously:

"Are you okay?"

Tara's messenger said with a face full of grievances:

"Archduke, I haven't made it clear about Savannah......"

Marin patted his head, indeed, he heard about sisal before, and as soon as he was excited, he ignored the matter of Savannah, it seems, it's not bad over there?

"Then what do you say......" Marin leaned back comfortably in his chair and continued to listen to the report.

"Master Cowalker said that they had established themselves on Tybee Island. Moreover, people were sent deep into the Savannah River to inspect the local situation. ”

"Like the name given to the place by the Grand Duke, Savannah is indeed a prairie. However, the grassland area is not large, about the size of Texel Island, and the surrounding area is forest......"

"Texel Island......" Marin thought for a moment, it was also 160 square kilometers. I think that at the beginning, it was my own "land of dragon prosperity......

In any case, this area is not small. Moreover, this is not the same as Texel Island. Texel Island is an island and may not always be covered with fresh water. The Savannah tract, with the Savannah River on the side, is perfectly suitable for agriculture and early development. Because the grassland area does not need to cut down trees and dig up the roots, it is much easier to deal with than the forest.

"You go on......" Marin motioned for the messenger to continue.

"Yes...... According to Master Cowalk, he had come into contact with the local Indians. The local Indians called themselves Creeks, and an agrarian civilization had emerged. However, the Creeks, who are close to the sea, seem to be branches. It is said that the main lineage of the Creek people lived far west of Savannah. There, there are a lot of towns with concentrated populations......"

"As for the Savannah area, it seems that the Creeks have not yet had time to develop it, and there is only a village of 500 people nearby, but it does not live in the grassland, but in the forest. Because their houses need wood, their colonies are not near the grassland, but by the river in the forest. ”

"Lord Cowalker sent them goods such as sugar and salt, and asked to buy the land of the Savannah Prairie and settle there, and the chief of the other party agreed. It's just that we need to send a lot more goods. For example, iron farm tools, sugar, salt, cloth, and beautiful glass beads, etc., the other party asked for a boatload of ......."

"A boat ......" Marin was stunned for a moment - Nima, what is the concept of a boat? Even a smaller 250-class armed merchant ship can carry hundreds of tons of cargo in one ship! The other party is really a lion's mouth......

As soon as the envoy saw it, he knew that Marin had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained:

"It's not the kind of big boat you think, the Grand Duke, but the small boat they go into the river to explore, probably...... Such a big ......" After speaking, the messenger gestured. Marin estimated it, and it was estimated that it was a small ship of several tons, and it was only a few tons of cargo.

Then, he breathed a sigh of relief - it was better not a sea boat......

A few tons of supplies are okay and can be obtained. If it's hundreds of tons of cargo...... Marin said that he was going to use force directly......

However, it seems that force will still be used in the future. After all, it's only a stopgap measure now. The Savannah grassland is not large, and it is not suitable to use force with people in the early stage, and that grassland is also enough for early development and utilization. But in the later stage, when the Savannah grassland is no longer enough to be developed, it is still necessary to use force to grab territory...... In the plan, Savannah is the future cotton production area set by Marin, as well as the production area of tung oil, the production area of raw lacquer, and the production area of moso bamboo...... Made, so important, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore? Even if the Indians were the original landowners......

Marin's plan is to establish a foothold in the Savannah Prairie first. While developing and building the castle, he also inquired about the news of the nearby tribe. When the castle was built, the safety of the rear was guaranteed, and the intelligence was almost explored at that time, and then the tribe was swallowed. If you attack rashly, if the opponent escapes into the primeval jungle, it will be troublesome. After all, the other side can use the terrain to fight guerrillas, and in the future, they will come out and shoot the peasants of the Savannah colony with an arrow...... I can't think about it...... Therefore, it is better to have a one-pot end when you are well prepared. Of course, if that tribe is willing to submit, it doesn't hurt to absorb the other party......

Thinking of this, Marin also wrote a letter to Coward, which Totara's messenger brought with him. In the letter, Marin asked Kowalker to accede to the other party's request for the time being. However, in the future, while building the castle, I will collect information from the other party. When the castle is built, if the other party is very friendly, let it go. If it's not friendly, it's just destroyed...... Anyway, it's all about being prepared for both......

Moreover, this time Tara's emissary returned, and Marin intended to change it to a new sailing ship, an improved version of the 250-class armed merchant ship, and a new ship with an upper rim boom sail and steering wheel system. This new ship, Marin, has already been tried, and it is much faster to go from Europe to North America. Unlike the previous schooners, it takes more than 3 months to travel from Europe to North America because of the headwind. This kind of new ship can go to North America in just over a month.

Then, if you go south from the east coast of North America, the average speed will be faster than that of a cross-wind, although the wind will change the belt, because the upper edge of the blister sail is not afraid of being unwindable. This way, the messenger will be able to deliver the reply to Tara and Kowalker as soon as possible, and carry out the order as soon as possible......

……

After Marin had sent off Tara's emissary, Kohler suddenly entered the office with a secret letter from Rome......

The secret letter was written by Marin's father-in-law, Pope Julius II, and the content of the letter was very simple, just one sentence:

"Caesar must die!"

Marin was stunned for a moment, first thinking of his own house and baby Caesar, and almost getting angry. But then he reacted - his father-in-law was talking about Caesar. Borgia, the sworn enemy of the Rovere family, is not his own little treasure......

Also, Caesar. It has also been more than three years since Borgia fled to the Kingdom of Navarre. Nowadays, very little attention has been paid to it. This time, send the killer to take Caesar. Borgia was killed, and no one paid attention. After all, three years is enough time to dilute everything.

And, Caesar. Borgia had harmed a lot of people. In addition, Marin once blamed the Swedes to buy "Cantrella" to poison the Danish Crown Prince Christian, so, Caesar. Borgia is basically shouted and beaten by everyone in Europe.

And Caesar. Borgia himself, seems to know this. Therefore, after hiding in the Kingdom of Navarre, he has been very low-key and honest, for fear of attracting attention and being turned over by others......

However, Caesar. Borgia's opponent was the old fox Julius II. What are the characteristics of an old fox? It's forbearance! Before, because he had just seized the papal throne, it was not suitable for Caesar. Borgia even had to pretend to be generous with the bastard. However, this does not mean that Julius II will really let the other party go. After all, Caesar. At the beginning, Borgia murdered many people in the Rovere family, resulting in the Rovere family is now thin. The hatred of almost exterminating the race is not something that can be let go easily.

Now, time has diluted everything, Caesar. Borgia has faded into obscurity. Julius II, the old fox who had been in hiding for a long time, felt that - get rid of Caesar. Borgia's time has finally arrived......
