Chapter 275: Pointing out Albert

After choosing Albert as the new governor of the twin islands, Marin called Albert into his office, spread out a map, and began to point out the work. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Albert, you see, this is the Twin Islands, America on the right, and Columbus on the left. When you go there, you have to go west, to get here, Long Island, and then west, to the Hudson River. Well, this island in the river is called Manhattan Island. This area is called New York (Marin is so lazy that he doesn't even bother to change his name). If possible, you spend a little bit of nice glasswork and buy the island......"

"A little glass can buy this island?" Albert was a little puzzled - how could there be such a stupid person in the world?

"Well, you don't understand. The area called New York, which included much of the western side, was controlled by a confederation of clans called the Delawares (or Delawares). This alliance is a clan alliance of a matriarchal society......"

"What is a matriarchal society?" Albert was puzzled.

"It's what it means to be a woman in charge!"

"Uh......" Albert was dumbfounded, more than he knew.

"Women like beautiful things, that's why I asked you to bring some beautiful glass ornaments to exchange land with them! If it's a man, it's not so easy. ”

"Why don't I bring some floral cloth?" Albert asked.

"Flower cloth?" Marin thought about it, and it seemed that East Friesland had also established a weak wool industry. Although there are only a few woolen factories, woolen cloth can also be woven. Of course, dyes are expensive and are imported.

Remembering the nature of women who like flamboyant things, Marin nodded and said:

"Yes, you can bring some flower cloth and try it. When you buy Manhattan Island, you build a castle on it. Then, trade with the Indians on a regular basis. ”

"Aren't you attacking the Indians?" Albert was puzzled.

"Idiot, do you have to fight? Moreover, even if we want to attack the Indians, we need to lead the way! ”

"The Belt and Road Party?" Albert was puzzled.

"It's the locals who know the terrain, remember, Albert, the jungle of the wild continent is dense. Don't send your army deep into the jungle unless you have to. Those Indians are masters of jungle ambushes. ”

"Moreover, the Dravaares I have chosen are the friendliest of the Indians. You can co-opt them through trade. You can even help them farm the land, and then sell some cattle to them. In normal times, hire more Indians to help you with things. ”

"When you want to expand in the future, you can enlist the warriors of the Drava and help you deal with other tribes. With them as the leading party, you can easily find the opponent's village, and you will not be easily ambushed in the forest......"

After thinking for a long time, Albert nodded:

"I see, Brother Marin, is this what you meant by 'pulling a faction, fighting a faction'?"

"Yo, he's quite talented. That's right, that's what it means! ”

"We expanded with the Drava people, and when the territory became bigger and bigger, the Drawa people became more and more dispersed, and they numbered in the thousands, and once they were dispersed, there were very few people in each place, and they were no threat to us. And we can count on them to rule over the Indians. ”

"My brother is really smart, and he deserves to be a disciple of the Great Immortal!"

"Okay, stop slapping. Remember, when trading with the Delawares in New York, you have to buy a lot of oak, especially whole oak. In the future, shipbuilding will be used. There is a kind of red oak in the oak over there, and the leaves turn red in autumn. Tara's men will tell you when you go. In addition to white oak, red oak is also required. When the timber was purchased, sheds were erected on Manhattan Island and allowed to air-dry. In a year or two, it will be used for shipbuilding. Remember, this is one of the main tasks you will have once you log in. ”

"Yes, I understand!"

"One more point, when you go ashore, you should use more oxen and mules, and you are not allowed to land with horses. The horses were to be left on Amerigo and Columbus Islands. Even if you do land with a horse, it must be a castrated horse! In addition, it was absolutely forbidden to sell horses to the Indians, only cattle and mules! Marin remembered the terrifying Indian cavalry of later generations and decided to vaccinate Albert in advance.

"Why?" Albert was puzzled.

"The Indians are brave and good at fighting, and they have no horses on their side. If the Indians had horses and cavalry, would you still expand a P? Wait to be hanged! ”

Albert thought about it, and really. The other party is already good at jungle warfare, and with horses, it is simply powerful.

"So, Brother Marin, the Indians are so powerful, can we beat them?"

"Yes, as long as you have Drava archers to cover the flanks, and you organize strong soldiers to wear full plate armor, you will not be afraid of the Indians' tattered bows and arrows. As long as they get close to each other, they can only wait to be hacked to death! ”

"Sure enough, it's a good idea!"

"One of the problems with this tactic is that the physical exertion of soldiers in plate armor is too great. It is not convenient to run horses in the jungle, so the infantry can only wear plate armor. So, it is necessary to pick a group of very strong soldiers, perverts like Karn and Adler. Otherwise, ordinary soldiers will fall down tired after running for a while. But perverts like Karn are hard to find, and I'll look for you, and I guess I won't find a few people. However, the number of Indians was also small. It only takes a few dozen plate infantry to rush forward, and it will be enough to defeat them. ”

Albert nodded, and waited for Marlin to help him select dozens of cattle to serve as spearheads. In the face of the Indians' soft earthen bows and arrows, it was obvious that the warriors in plate armor were invincible. The only weakness of the plate infantry is physical fitness. So, this class needs to be a pervert to act as a ......

"Try not to let the horses ashore, lest the Dravaares ask for it. If the officials really need mounts, they use mules. Mules can also carry people and pull carts. I will send a large number of donkeys and mares to Columbus Island, and you will build a mule breeding base on Columbus Island to supply the needs of the mainland. ”

"If you really need a horse ashore, remember, it must have been castrated. Whoever takes an uncastrated horse to land shall be immediately arrested and imprisoned, without pardon! ”

"Understood, I'll write it into the laws of the twin islands!"

"That's the best, by the way, you bring some sheep and pigs over there and raise them there. This can be sold to the Indians, and they can be instructed on how to breed. ”

"The Indians were brave because they hunted a lot during the slack season. They were taught to raise pigs and sheep, and usually they would go to herd sheep and have no time to hunt. The fierce temperament cultivated by hunting will also fade. So, you can sell sheep to them without restrictions. But I can't give them the kind of English semi-fine wool sheep I have, it's a good thing, wool is very valuable. Sell it to the Indians, just use ordinary sheep! ”

"Also, get some salt from the boiling salt base on Cape Breton Island and sell it to the Indians. This is hard currency, and we can use it to hire Indians to cut down oak for us. Unlike glass ornaments, it is impossible to ship them in large quantities for a long time. After all, glass ornaments were a "luxury" for the Indians, and the Indians could not buy them every day. Salt is different, and it is required every day. The North American Indians were less civilized and not very good at making salt. Therefore, when salt is taken to North America, it is definitely hard currency.

……

In this way, Marin called Albert into the office, guided him for a long time, and pointed out the direction of Albert's work after he went to the North American twin islands, so that Albert would not be inexperienced and mess things up when he got there......
