Dürer wanted to say something, but Karn beside Marin was already gearing up, and as long as Dürer dared to say no, he would be knocked unconscious and taken away...... No, it's a knockout......

In desperation, Dürer agreed to stay and work for Marin. Then, at Marin's suggestion, Dürer had no choice but to write a letter to his family, asking the family to move from Nuremberg to Aurich.

It should be pointed out that Dürer and his wife Agnes do not seem to be on good terms. Agnes heard that she was a shrew, and Dürer did not like her. Their marriage was also arranged by the family. It seems that the marriage was arranged by Dürer's father, and the woman was the daughter of a friend of Dürer's father.

After marriage, Dürer was not satisfied with his wife, so he did not want to stay at home, but ran around, often going to Italy to study, and also to many large German cities. Because husband and wife were often not together, Dürer and his wife had no children.

However, because of his bad relationship with his wife and the lack of children, some people suspected that Dürer was gay. Or, bisexual.

In fact, Dürer just couldn't stand his shrew wife, and he wasn't really a. Of course, it may be because of his shrew wife that he is disappointed in women.

And in this era, ordinary people are not capable of divorce. Because, divorce requires the approval of the Holy See and even the consent of the Pope himself. Therefore, Dürer, in desperation, could only escape from his fierce shrew wife.

……

In order to woo Dürer, Marin offered that he could help ask the Pope for permission for Dürer's divorce if he wanted to.

Of course, divorce is a big deal, and he doesn't recommend it. So, Marin gave Dürer two years to think about it as a cooling-off period. If he still could not accept his wife, then Marin would ask the Pope for permission to divorce Dürer.

Asking the Pope for a divorce may be difficult for others, but for Marin, it is just a matter of words. And Marin's ability, Leonardo da Vinci confirmed on the side. After all, after staying here for so long, da Vinci still sees the close relationship between Marin and the current pope.

Moreover, Leonardo da Vinci had long suspected that Angela or Felise, one of whom was related to the Pope. Because, these two women are full of Italian. Even if you speak German, you have an Italian accent. Others may not be able to hear it, but how can Leonardo da Vinci, an old Italian man, not hear it?

When Dürer heard that a divorce was possible, he was ecstatic at first, but then hesitated. After all, divorce is no small matter. So, he decided to give his wife another chance to observe her performance.

Before, because Dürer was determined to be unable to divorce, his wife Agnes was very arrogant and often harsh on Dürer, a weak man.

But now, with Marin to help with the divorce, Dürer believed that Agnes should be able to restrain himself......

……

In order to win over Dürer, Marin directly gave him the title of knight and appointed Dürer as a court painter.

Although this knighthood is not hereditary, Dürer is about to follow Marin to the Ming Dynasty, which can be counted as a credit. Therefore, it is not difficult to be promoted to hereditary knighthood.

The reason why Dürer was chosen was because in his previous life, Marin was too impressed by Dürer's black-and-white photographs of his hands and feet. Written by him, the portraits of Emperor Zhengde and the eunuch Liu Jin are certainly vivid.

Ma Lin also had a bold idea - to beat him up and ask Dürer to paint a collective oil painting for Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng, Luo Xiang and other "Zhengde Eight Tigers" to paint the "Eight Tigers" on it.

In this way, when the history teacher talks about the "Zhengde Eight Tigers" in the future, he can point to the oil painting painted by Dürer and say-look, this is the "Zhengde Eight Tigers", lifelike......

If these paintings are treasured, they will be preserved for hundreds of years. In the future, even if the Hoffmann family loses the throne, with these treasured oil paintings, they can exchange a lot of money - not to mention the preciousness of its historical video materials, but with the article "painted by Master Dürer", the future value will be at least tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions......

No, now that Marin has colonized the Americas, there may not be the world's strongest old United States in the future, and there may not be the US dollar as the world's common currency......

……

When he heard that he was going to the Eastern Ming Dynasty, Dürer was also very excited. He is used to wandering outside, and he does not reject going abroad. Moreover, going to the distant and mysterious Ming Empire is indeed very attractive to Dürer, the prodigal son.

Therefore, Dürer was so easily deceived by Marin into the thief ship......

……

In order to facilitate Dürer's painting in the Ming Dynasty, Marin immediately sent people to collect a large number of paints, brushes, brackets and other tools needed to paint oil paintings, and let 10 warships be brought with them, so as not to get enough from the Ming Dynasty. I didn't bring much paper, because there was no shortage of this thing in the Ming Dynasty......

In addition to the materials for painting, Marin was very particular about the people and goods that the fleet carried this time.

For example, Marin plans to bring a thousand soldiers and horses this time. Of course, not to fight with whom, but to serve as a guard of honor. A thousand centaurs dressed in bright clothes and kicking neatly in the right steps will definitely brighten the eyes of the little emperor of Zhengde.

And in order to facilitate the movement of the soldiers, the plate armor worn by these thousand soldiers is all the same. That is, the kind of thin iron sheet "plate armor" cut out of white iron sheets...... Wearing this kind of fake plate armor cut out of white iron sheets, the soldiers' movements are not affected. They are free to walk in the queue in iron armor and show off. If you wear a real 50-pound plate armor, it is estimated that the soldiers will not be able to walk far before they are tired and lie down.

Of course, the real plate armor marlin will also be brought. Moreover, I will bring hundreds of more sets, full sizes.

The more these were given to Emperor Zhengde by Ma Lin. Ma Lin didn't know the height of Emperor Zhengde, so he simply asked people to make full-size plate armor of 1.6 to 1.85 meters. In this way, Zhengde can always pick the right one. Marin didn't believe that Emperor Zhengde's height would jump out of this range......

In addition to plate armor, Marin also had the fleet bring 100 knightly horses to match the plate armor. Of course, the riding gun is also equipped.

10 500-ton ships, 100 horses are no problem, 10 horses each, are kept on the top deck. There is horse manure, and it is very convenient to sweep it directly into the sea.

In addition, in order to test the adaptability of these horses to seafaring, Marlin has already made people start to choose. Those sycophants who are not suitable for the bumpy navigation on the sea have all been eliminated. The rest are all war horses that can adapt to long-term sea voyages.

These war horses are all about 1.7 meters tall at the shoulder, which is a typical heavy war horse. Only such a heavy horse can carry a knight with full body plate armor.

Moreover, in China, there are very few high-headed horses. Mongolian horses with a shoulder height of 1.35 meters can be regarded as "tall horses" in the Central Plains. Like Ma Lin brought 100 horses with a shoulder height of 1.7 meters, it is estimated that it will shock the Ming Dynasty. In particular, this is not one or two, but a hundred.

The literati of the Ming Dynasty were accustomed to sitting in sedan chairs and did not know much about horses. And Ma Lin is planning to use this kind of "high-headed horse" in the absolute sense to bluff those Ming Dynasty officials. Because, this kind of high-headed horse is powerful and majestic enough...... As for the really powerful Arabian horses, Marin didn't bring any of them. After all, he went to fool the literati to win the favor of the Ming Dynasty. As for those warriors who really understand horses, who cares what they think? Moreover, these horses are indeed war horses, and they are not very foolish......

In addition, the most important thing to give to the Ming Dynasty is probably sweet potatoes. This is an absolutely high-yield crop, and it must be very attractive to the agricultural country of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the sweet potato Marin decided to bring it from the Panamanian side. Sweet potatoes are now grown on a large scale, and it's easy to get the goods there.

In addition to sweet potatoes, Marin also plans to bring peanuts and corn. These are available in Panama, and when the fleet is anchored there, they can be taken directly from the local area.

But the most important thing is the high-yielding sweet potato. Because, this is the ultimate weapon that Marin used to bargain with the Ming Dynasty, which valued agriculture...... ()
