Chapter 1475: I Have Mr., It's going to Be a Big Thing!
The structure of Yu Dayou's chariot is very simple, that is, a few holes are made in the top of the Chinese unicycle to insert spears. Of these, 4 holes are in the front, which was used to insert 4 spears in front during wartime. The other 4 holes are around the top, which is usually used for transportation. Usually, four spears are stuck in an upright position in the car so as not to hurt anyone. At the same time, it can also be used as a flange for the goods on the car.
Of course, the high-imitation Yu Dayou chariot sent by the Beihai spy Giovanni did not use a Chinese-style unicycle as a carrier, but a European-style wheelbarrow with a front-mounted wheelbarrow as a carrier.
Because the center of gravity of this unicycle is not in the middle, the load capacity is much less than that of a Chinese unicycle. However, it is also a convenient small means of transport. And most importantly - in Europe at this time, there were not a lot of such wheelbarrows!
For example, in Italy, there are many such European-style unicycles at this time. It is said that this unicycle has a long history and was invented by the ancient Greeks.
Marin asked Giovanni to take out this model of wheelbarrow to Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba, not because he is reluctant to use a more efficient Chinese unicycle. Rather, it is because if you use a European-style unicycle to modify a combat vehicle, there is a wide source of materials and it is easy to transform. And to use the original Chinese unicycle modification, you have to build a large number of Chinese unicycles......
Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba accepted Giovanni's suggestion and quickly issued a resolute order to go to the villages and requisition the European-style wheelbarrow. At the same time, he asked Giovanni what reward he wanted.
Giovanni was a spy, so naturally he would not accept any knighthood land, so he asked for a discount. Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba didn't say anything, just made an IOU and gave a few hundred gold coins in cash. After all, he is a general and has no right to issue financial rewards. These rewards need to be approved by the king......
After Giovanni left, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba began to order the modification of the European version of Yu Dayou's chariot sent by Giovanni, which was actually a hole......
Eventually, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba requisitioned 3,000 European-style wheelbarrows from nearby villages and converted them into Yu Dayou's wheelbarrows.
Then, on another rainy day, when the French did it again, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba sent 20,000 men and horses in pursuit, and brought these chariots with them......
The French still killed the rifle and charged from both sides. But this time it was different - they loaded the European version of Yu Dayou's chariot lined up......
The imaginary situation of rushing into the enemy formation did not appear, and the hundreds of French knights who rushed to the front collided with the European version of Yu Dayou's chariot with 4 spears, and were immediately unlucky......
Although the people were fine, their horses were all stabbed with spears, and they were either killed or wounded. And these plate knights themselves, after seriously injuring their horses, also involuntarily fell off their horses and were either killed by the Spaniards with hammers and tomahawks, or directly captured......
The French, somewhat confused, paused their attack. After discovering that he could not take advantage, he returned to the city in a huff......
"What? Horse gun tactics have failed? What about the enemy? Louis XII was surprised and depressed at the same time. Originally, he thought he had found an invincible tactic. As a result, it was refreshing......
And Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba, on the other hand, is all left with surprises:
"It works! This time, we are not afraid of the French using rogue tricks! ”
In the days that followed, the two sides fell into a stalemate of equal strength. But the Spanish attack never stopped, and it was the French peasants who were in charge of the main attack, which made the French defenders very annoyed. Because, fighting around, the dead and wounded were all French.
And, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba also organized several operations to dig tunnels, but even if the tunnels were dug through, they were still beaten back by the French. Because, the tunnel was too narrow to accommodate a few Spanish soldiers. Even if the tunnel mouth was dug through, there would not be a few Spanish soldiers at a time. And for a small number of Spanish soldiers, those French knights were really not afraid. Because, they are all masters of cold weapons in martial arts, and there is no problem in repelling a few Spanish assault soldiers......
……
And in the city of Rome, at this moment the patriarch of the Medici family, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici, the future Pope Leo X, was receiving a distinguished guest at this time......
This guest was not a noble person, but a pastor of a local church. However, this person was an important talent that Marin recommended to him......
This man's name was John. Tezell, in the original history, was the one who was ordered by Leo X and Archbishop Albert III of Mainz to sell indulgences in Germany.
Speaking of which, Martin Luther, a pioneer of the Reformation, was largely influenced by John Luther. The stimulation of Tezel, the evangel of the church who peddles indulgences. Because, Martin Luther thought it was too shameless......
Shamelessness, of course, was Martin Luther's view. But for Giovanni, who was in a hurry to get rich. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. For the Medici, shamelessness is an excellent quality...... Because, only shameless people can help him earn a lot of money......
……
Truth be told, now John. Tezel is a bad mix. He was once sentenced to death by the emperor in Germany, but was later pardoned. Then, when he could not get along in Germany, he went to Rome to study, and in 1509 he was assigned to Poland as a religious inquisitor of a regional church, specializing in the trial of "heretics". In fact, this person has a flexible mind, and he uses this position to frame those rich businessmen with money and no background, slander them as "heretics", and then take the opportunity to blackmail.
When he was taken by Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. When the Medici found and summoned Rome, he had already amassed the gold coins in his hand......
This is not a small number, you know, these days, the average person's daily income is only 2 puffin, and in a year, it is almost only 12 gold coins. Tens of thousands of gold coins are almost the annual income of nearly 1,000 ordinary people......
……
However, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici is now a big red man in front of Pope Julius II, one of the most important cardinals in the Holy See. Moreover, it is said that there is a high probability that he will become pope in the future.
In the face of such a big man, John, who has always been good at speculation. Without hesitation, Tezel ran to Rome to hug his thighs......
Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici briefed him on some of Marin's ideas, mainly some propaganda means of peddling indulgences.
Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici didn't know much about sales and publicity, but John. Tezel understands. As a church veteran who has been stumbling at the bottom for many years, he knows too well the importance of those propaganda methods.
So, he turned against the client, made up the rough part of Marin's idea, and put forward a lot of good opinions. In short, John. Tezel's opinion is that the louder the better, so that it is enough to fool people and get more money......
Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici was so pleased that he took John. Tezel's hand said happily:
"I'm going to be a big deal!" Well, that's pretty much it, the Latin version of ......
