Chapter 824: America is Dangerous, Don't Rob It!
The construction of 300 coffins was fast, after all, the last thing that the New York colony lacked now was wood. Moreover, Marin also made it clear - this is a fake coffin, not for pretending to be human. Therefore, how rough the workmanship comes. The most immoral thing is a certain carpenter, who directly saws the log into the shape of a coffin. Then, add a cover on top and you're done......
Anyway, the cover plate is to be nailed, who has the leisure to pull out the nail to see if it is solid? With such rough workmanship, 300 coffins were naturally made quickly.
And during this time, Marin asked Albert about the New York colony and the war with the Mohicans. Albert also told the truth that he had only now driven the other side out of the upper Hudson River. The total length of the Hudson River reached about 500 kilometers, that is, the colonial army in New York penetrated 500 kilometers into the Hudson River. This record is still quite good.
You must know that North America in this era is full of deep mountains and old forests, and there are basically no roads. In such an environment, being able to penetrate 500 kilometers inland is already considered to be a rapid progress.
But Albert told Marin that the colonists had not traveled 500 kilometres by land, but had rowed north along the Hudson River until they had landed upstream, attacking the Mohican territory......
Marin was stunned, then relieved. Because, that's what makes sense. It would be strange if only a thousand or so warriors, who were not very familiar with jungle warfare, could really go 500 kilometers deep into the jungle on land. Being able to fight 500 kilometers away on land means that you have the strength to control the territory within this 500 kilometers. But the more than 1,000 soldiers who are not very familiar with jungle warfare are obviously impossible......
Fortunately, after many battles, the more than 1,000 warriors, led by dozens of Black Forest hunters, were basically familiar with the environment of the primeval jungles of North America. Now, they are at ease with the Mohicans. It's just that Marin has repeatedly emphasized that he should not be killed, but only drive away the Mohicans, which led to the seemingly stalemate of the occupation. Marin's real purpose was actually for the army to take advantage of the opportunity to chase the Mohicans and occupy all the territory along the way......
However, those more than 1,000 colonial troops alone were not enough. Marin planned to mobilize a few thousand more people to help him when he returned to China, so that he could completely control a large area of territory near New York. Of course, the newcomers will certainly not be able to adapt to the North American jungle. Fortunately, the more than 1,000 colonial soldiers who came first were basically familiar with the local environment. With them, the new soldiers can quickly adapt to the local environment......
……
After the coffin was ready, Marin also began to board the ship. However, before boarding the ship, Marin called Albert and said:
"Albert, come back with me!"
"Go back?" Albert's heart tightened, could it be that his brother wanted to remove him as a governor?
But Marin's words reassured him:
"Don't be nervous, I'm just letting you go back and get married. Miss Gust, when she heard that you were wounded, had affection for you, and insisted that she come with the ship to see you. Therefore, she passed the family examination and is fit to be your wife. It just so happened that I announced that you were shot and wounded by the Indians. In this way, you just take this opportunity to go back to Europe to 'recuperate'. At the same time, the marriage with Miss Gust was ......"
Albert was relieved, but soon blushed. So, he squirmed and said:
"Okay, listen to the second brother's ......"
Because Albert wanted to go back to Europe, in order to prevent Albert from having any accidents, Marin simply asked Albert to recall all the more than 1,000 colonial troops, so that they could defend Manhattan Island with peace of mind and avoid any mistakes.
On the way back, the fleet passed through Cape Breton Island, and Marin landed and robbed all the 100 barrels of maple sugar that Garand had sent to purify and purify. Maple syrup is a healthy sweet and is suitable for the elderly, children and women. So, Marin snatched all the maple sugar and brought it back to his family. Don't look at 100 barrels, it looks like a lot, but there are a lot of people in Marin's family. And a faithful subordinate should be rewarded, right? The Pope's father-in-law will also send ...... Therefore, 100 barrels is really a drop in the bucket......
Garland was a little depressed, but also a little happy—Marin was able to snatch up his maple candy without saying anything, proving that he didn't treat him as an outsider. As long as Marin is his own, he will maintain his wealth. As for a little maple sugar...... Nimad, be sure to be ready next year. The sugar maple trees on Cape Breton Island alone can extract thousands of barrels of maple sugar, and that's not counting the sugar maple trees on Newfoundland......
……
On the return voyage, the sailboat was fully hoisted with sails. The return trip was downwind and along the North Atlantic Current. Therefore, the use of crosssails is the most efficient. A month later, the fleet arrived at the port of Emden. Moreover, the battleship formation did not fall behind this time. Because, when I use a crosssail, I am with the appetite of the battleship. So, this time, the battleship formation did not lag behind the formation of 250 armed merchant ships.
As soon as Marin returned, he was surrounded by envoys from various countries. They demanded that Marin swear no longer to participate in the internal war in Germany.
But Marin did not pay attention to them at first, but held a solemn state funeral for the "300 martyrs" who "died" in North America......
Even, Marin himself, had a sling hanging on his arm, as if his arm was broken......
In fact, putting a suspender on his arm was an improvised idea of Marin. In order to show the ferocity of the North American Indians, Marin felt that he should be wounded. Originally, he wanted to disguise the scar on his face. However, it will be difficult to explain it in the future. Because, in this era, there is no technology to remove scars. If you have a scar on your face, it may last a lifetime. Therefore, the scars on the face are pretended, but it is difficult to explain afterwards.
For this reason, Marin finally came up with a trick to disguise his broken arm, wrapping a bandage around his left arm, and a posture of "I have a broken arm......
As for how the arm was broken? Marin explained that this was the "Wild Continent" of a man named Grom. The brave savage chief of Hell roared, and with an axe he jumped down and smashed it...... Of course, the stone axe used by the family first smashed the wooden shield held by Marin in his left hand, and then smashed into Marin's left arm, which was wearing an iron armguard, causing a fracture......
It is said that Marin's guards gave this man named Grom at that time. The Hell's Roaring Savage Chief shot him and beat him to death. But before he died, the brave savage chief shouted:
"Orc...... No, it's a savage who will never be a slave! ”
……
If there are future generations of Warcraft players, they will definitely spray wildly - Nima, steal the plot of glass slag, be careful that people sue you for infringement. However, Marin has traveled hundreds of years ago, and there is a kind of glass slag chasing after him......
……
With a serious expression, Marin insisted on holding a grand state funeral for 300 "warriors who died in battle" in the wild continent, despite the cripple of his left arm. The envoys of various countries who stayed in Aurich were all present to watch.
Through the mouths of these envoys, it will soon be known to all of Germany that Marin, who was rampant on the European continent, suffered a great loss at the hands of the natives of the wild continent. Not only did 300 people die, but he also took one of his arms......
Marin kept emphasizing that those people came and went without a trace in the dense primeval jungle, and were good at hiding and unleashing cold arrows. In terms of head-to-head combat, they are by no means the opponents of the warriors of the North Sea Kingdom. However, the other party likes to fight ambushes in the jungle, which is extremely difficult...... Anyway, it can be summed up in one meaning - the natives of the wild continent are very insidious and vicious, and it is very dangerous there......
To put it more explicitly, it means - the Americas are dangerous, don't rob them!
……
After publicizing the dangers of the "Savage Continent", Marin seemed to have been hit hard, and his mood was very low. He also agreed to the unreasonable demands of the envoys of various countries asking him to swear not to participate in the war for hegemony in Germany.
However, when swearing, Marin made a special statement - if someone takes the initiative to attack the North Sea Country, he will also fight back. At the same time, if anyone is disrespectful to the Holy See, he will also send troops to defend the Holy See......
In fact, Marin took part in the Wars of Religion to lay an ambush after his reign. But the princes didn't know, and they didn't know that there would be Protestantism in the future. Therefore, they did not care about Marin's emphasis on maintaining the Holy See. Because, at present, they have no intention of being with the Holy See. In any case, as long as Marin did not support the Habsburgs in unifying Germany, they would be satisfied......
In the end, Marin felt that there was a loophole, and added another condition - if someone wanted to destroy his allies (such as the Duchy of Cleaver), he would also send troops to protect them......
For this condition, everyone can not deny. Anyway, as long as Marin didn't help the Habsburgs unify Germany, the princes would be satisfied.
In the end, Marin and the envoys agreed to pick a date to sign a written agreement in public at the regular meeting of the Worms Imperial Council in July of this year. Marin swore in public that he would not easily send troops to destroy the German state, and at the same time would not help certain forces to unify Germany...... These will all fall on paper to prevent Marin from reversing ...... The common method of repentance of the nobles is to kill the witnesses of the oath, and if there is no proof of death, they are not afraid of being blamed. However, if it is put on paper, there is no way to go back. Unless, he doesn't want to mess around in Europe......
