In fact, Marin was also worried that Puginsky's successor would become a local warlord. Although Marin only leased Mauritania with Portugal for 10 years, Marin clearly did not intend to actually control the area for only 10 years.

Therefore, after withdrawing, there must be a reliable force to help him indirectly control this place. For Puginsky and a group of Mao fathers-in-law, Marin is naturally relieved. It's not that these people are loyal, it's that they are all rootless people, with no offspring, no future, and no need to betray themselves.

However, they will eventually grow old, and once they die, there will be a new heir to succeed them. And the successors who succeed them can hardly be said to be loyal to themselves.

Marin thought about continuing to introduce Mao Gonggong from the Crimean Khanate to manage the local area, but the Mao Gonggong who was later introduced did not have prestige among the local blacks, and it was difficult to control the unruly local blacks. Moreover, if the 10-year period has passed, and then import Mao's father-in-law to Mauritania, the Portuguese will know that it is wrong, no matter how stupid they are.

Therefore, the successors of these guys can only be selected from among the local blacks, so that Marin can disassociate himself. However, if the children of local black families with local roots are selected as heirs, especially the children of the chiefs' families, it is easy for them to become self-reliant with the advantages of their locals. After all, they are all locals, and they also have local power, so they can completely leave Marin alone.

If they didn't mess with the Portuguese while leaving their own, Marin didn't care. However, it's hard. Because, the Portuguese are not stupid, and they will also buy and co-opt. If the successive black leaders were bribed and co-opted by the Portuguese, then the development of Mauritania would be a wedding dress for the Portuguese.

And because of jealousy, these Mao fathers-in-law accidentally came up with this mechanism for cultivating and promoting heirs, but it made Marin's eyes shine!

Raising slaves is indeed a good idea. After all, slaves are people who have no roots, and they are easier to control. But if it is an ordinary slave, there is also a flaw, that is, it can be married to a local chieftain......

When the local chieftain saw that the slave had become an important officer, he probably married his daughter to this man. The entire clan then became a natural ally and supporter of the new chief. Once the new leader colludes with his wife's clan, the control of the Beihai Kingdom will inevitably be problematic.

The method that Father-in-law Mao came up with to cultivate the little black father-in-law solved Marin's concern - black eunuchs are unlikely to be co-opted by local chiefs with beauty. Because, this trick is useless for my father-in-law...... As for money solicitation, Marin didn't think that the local poor ghosts could have more money than him......

Of course, the Portuguese are also rich and can compete with themselves. However, if those Mao fathers-in-law start to cultivate the little black father-in-law, Ma Lin will have a chance......

What chances? Of course, he sent Taylor's disciples to fool around......

Young people are easy to fool, as long as they send Taylor's disciples who have a good talent for language to Senegal. While training and cultivating those little black fathers-in-law such as Puginsky and other Mao fathers, they brainwashed them hard and instilled the idea of allegiance to Marin. In addition, it is necessary to inculcate anti-Portuguese ideology.

In this way, when these little black fathers-in-law grow up, not only will they not have anything to do with the local big clans, but they will not be easily co-opted by the Portuguese. Because, from an early age, they were taught to be hostile to the Portuguese.

In this way, the Mao father-in-law cultivated the little black father-in-law, supplemented by the Marin faction of the little flickers to flicker. In the future, even if Malimin withdrew from this area, the Portuguese would never want to control it. Because, when the little black fathers, who were taught to hate Portugal from an early age, grow up to be staunch opponents of the Portuguese.

A few days later, after several rounds of travel, Laayoune's carrier pigeons passed through the pigeon stations along the way, and Marin's instructions were transmitted to Senegal.

"What? Canonize me as Earl Sanssoucian? I am also allowed to choose the best little black eunuch as my heir? Puginsky was a little stunned by the huge surprise.

You know, from him, he is just an ordinary Cossack, so he is smarter than ordinary Maozi, knows a little more, and is not compatible with the nobles. However, in order to support him this time, Marin made such a big move, and he became an earl as soon as he made a move......

"Woo woo - willing to die for His Majesty!" Puginsky was moved to tears.

Of course, Marin didn't forget about anyone else. The other 45 Mao Gonggongs were all canonized as African knights, and they were all nobles.

As for Marin sending Taylor's disciples to fool around, they didn't even notice. And the reason given by Marin is - to teach those little black fathers cultural knowledge and make them smarter...... This reason is naturally flawless. And Puginsky and the others are basically ordinary people and have no experience in palace fighting, so they naturally can't see Marin's sinister intentions. And, even if they see it, it's hard to refuse. After all, they are completely dependent on Marin for their supplies......

……

Governor Cotton of Laayoune was rewarded for his invention and was promoted from an ordinary knight to a hereditary knight, thus stepping into the ranks of "generational wealth".

Marin originally wanted to promote the model of his pigeon station, and also planned to contact the Ming Dynasty in the Far East through the relay of the pigeon station. However, it was vetoed by the court doctor Mo Rigen. Morrigan told Marin that carrier pigeons are no problem in densely populated areas of Western Europe, as well as in desert areas of Northwest and West Africa. But if you pass through some areas, you will definitely not be pleased. Because, there are falcons in some places......

In particular, the falcon is the number one natural enemy of carrier pigeons, and often hunts carrier pigeons in the air, affecting the transmission of messages in the air. If it weren't for the existence of the falcon, the carrier pigeon would have prospered.

Moreover, Marlin also did not know that those pigeon trainers would make pigeons deliberately fly along human villages and towns. Why? The main thing is to avoid the falcons!

The falcon is an aerial hunter, the eagle mainly kills small animals on the ground, and the falcon mainly kills birds flying in the air. However, both small animals on the ground and birds in the air generally do not like to be close to human settlements. Food is not close to human settlements, and eagles and falcons naturally do not need to go to human settlements.

In later generations, falcons also moved over human settlements. The main reason is that in later generations, human beings have developed nature too much, and there are few birds in the wild. In order to forage for food, eagles and falcons are forced to go to human settlements in search of food. In fact, it is not uncommon for falcons to sneak up on the cages of pigeon fanciers on the roof.

There is no way, the development of nature in later generations is too high, and there are not many primeval jungles suitable for birds, and some eagles and falcons in later generations have no choice but to run to human settlements to adventure.

But in this era, the degree of human exploitation of nature is low. At the same time, there are enough birds in the wild jungle to eat. As a result, falcons generally don't have to venture near human settlements.

And carrier pigeons, as long as they fly along human settlements, are still relatively safe. But if you go deep in the mountains and old forests...... That's dangerous, because passing pigeons can be killed by falcons at any time. Peregrine falcons, in particular, are simply carrier pigeon killers.

Therefore, generally carrier pigeons will release several at the same time, for fear that the carrier pigeon will be eaten by the falcon halfway.

Cotton had no problem setting up a pigeon station in the desert. Because, there are no small animals on the ground in the desert, and there are no birds. Without adequate food, falcons are naturally rarely active in the desert. Carrier pigeons are naturally safer when flying over the desert.

The idea of using carrier pigeon stations to build a global communication system went bankrupt, and Marin was extremely frustrated. For a moment, he wanted to kill the falcons of the whole world - why do you eat pigeons?
